Guangwu Zhongxing revived the Han Dynasty, and the twelve emperors succeeded each other. Huan Ling's Taoist clan fell into decline, and the eunuchs who were good at power became Shu Ji. If you have no plan, how can you become the third official? If you want to get rid of the rats in the society, you will recruit the traitors. Although jackals and otters drive away tigers and wolves, in Xizhou there is evil and lust. Wang Yun's sincere support for Hongfen made Dong Lucheng conflict. Qu Kui destroyed Ning in the world, but Li Guo was angry. China is struggling with thorns, but the Six Palaces are hungry and worried about fighting. When people's hearts are separated from their destiny, heroes divide their empires into mountains and rivers. The Queen ordered you to work diligently and don't let the golden pot sit idle. The living beings are rotten and their livers and brains are smeared, leaving water and mountains full of resentment and blood. I feel extremely sad when I look at the legacy and history, and I sigh at the confusion between the present and the past. You should abide by the Baosang precepts, and Tai'a should uphold the complete principles and principles.

In the city of Chang'an, there was a secret rift between Li Jue and Guo Si, and there was a quarrel between them. Li Jue came out, and Guo Si naturally could not rely on each other. The two fought for more than fifty days, and it was difficult to tell who was superior. Later, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng came to the rescue and moved to Hongnong, and then he was temporarily freed from the hostage of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Li Jue and Guo Si heard that the emperor had arrived in Hongnong, so they stopped fighting and joined forces again to go to Hongnong, hoping to kidnap the emperor again and control the world. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was forced to flee and went to Anyi, and then returned to Luoyang on Dong Cheng's suggestion.

At this time in Luoyang City, the palaces were burned down, the streets were deserted, wormwood was everywhere, and there were only dilapidated walls in the palace courtyards. Yang Feng had no choice but to build a small palace to temporarily accommodate the emperor and empress. Hundreds of officials congratulated each other, but they all stood among the thorns.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to issue an edict and change the reign name from Xingping to Jian'an. There will be another famine this year. There were only a few hundred households in Luoyang, and there was no food to offer to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The civil and military ministers could only go out of the city to peel tree bark and dig grass roots to satisfy their hunger. Many officials below Shangshu Lang died of starvation among the ruins. The decline of luck in the late Han Dynasty ended here.

Seeing that this was not the solution, Taiwei Yang Biao wrote to him.

"The former Mongolian imperial edict has not yet been sent. Now Cao Cao is in Shandong, with strong soldiers and generals. He can be declared to the dynasty to assist the royal family."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty couldn't stand such hard days anymore. He was worried and hungry all day long, thinking about how much worse he could do if he was worse. He agreed to Yang Biao's report, sent people to Yanzhou, and ordered Cao Cao to greet him.

Yanzhou, in the hall of the state capital, Cao Cao is sitting above, with civil and military officials sitting on the left and right. Wei Zhongdao is lying listlessly on the eucalyptus table, boredly listening to everyone talking and arguing.

Most officials in Yanzhou did not agree to welcome the emperor. They believed that it was too risky to welcome the emperor now that Lu Bu was stationed in Xiaopei, Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, eyeing him, and there was Zhang Yang to the north.

The whole hall was noisy. Cao Cao also frowned and couldn't make up his mind. There were advantages and disadvantages to welcoming the emperor. He didn't dare to make a decision for a while, and turned his eyes to Wei Zhongdao and Xun Yu, who had not spoken among the civil servants.

Xun You glanced at Wei Zhongdao, who was still lying lazily on the eucalyptus, frowned slightly, and had to stand up to make some suggestions.

"Dong Wen of Jin returned to welcome King Xiang of Zhou. The princes obeyed and became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. The emperor of the Han Dynasty went to the east to conquer Xiang Yu. He wore plain clothes in mourning for the Righteous Emperor, and the world returned to its heart. Since the emperor was in chaos, my lord has taken the lead in calling for righteous soldiers to serve the king. Yanzhou is now in the area The chaos has settled down, and it is not yet possible to go far to Guanyou, but my lord has never given up communicating with the imperial court. Although the country is saved from the court, your heart is always tied to the royal family. This is my lord's consistent ambition to sincerely help the world. To be sincere and serve the Lord at this time is to obey people's expectations, which is a great act of obedience; to be loyal to the public and serve the heroes, it is a rough strategy; to support righteousness and become handsome, it is a great virtue. Although there are rebellions in the world, they cannot be burdened, it is clear. Han Siam , How dare Yang Feng do harm? If we don’t straighten the court in time, the world will have a rebellious heart, and even if we have this heart in the future, we will regret it."

Although Xun Yu was Cao Cao's mastermind, he was loyal to the emperor and regarded himself as a Han official. Therefore, he was extremely worried about the troubles he suffered from the emperor and wanted to persuade Cao Cao to welcome the emperor and help the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao was moved when he heard this, but he still wanted to hear Wei Zhongdao's opinion and did not make a hasty decision.

Wei Zhongdao then stood up, bowed casually, glanced at Xun You below casually, and said.

"What does Xun Zhizhong mean by obeying the emperor's orders and not obeying them?"

When Xun You heard Wei Zhongdao's words, he nodded repeatedly and felt happy, thinking that Wei Zhongdao was a confidant and understood his thoughts.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and there was a light shining deep in his eyes. He glanced at Xun Yu thoughtfully, waiting for Wei Zhongdao's opinion.

"I agree to serve the emperor, but I never agree to serve the emperor and disobey the emperor's orders. Those civil and military officials in the court are not good. General Cao, have you thought about how to deal with their criticism?"

Cao Cao frowned. He also knew that the civil and military officials in Luoyang City did not accomplish enough and failed more than they did. If they were to serve the emperor, these people would indeed be a trouble.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Xun You's eyes. He did not agree with Wei Zhongdao's words and opened his mouth to refute.

Wei Zhongdao waved his hand to stop Xun You from refuting him and continued.

"Xun Zhizhong, I never interrupted your speech, so don't interrupt me either!"

Xun You then sat down and looked at Wei Zhongdao with a solemn expression. He vaguely realized in his heart that the two of them were not from the same way, and had completely opposite attitudes towards the big man.

"General Cao, I think it is better to hold the Emperor hostage to command the princes than to serve the Emperor in order to command the princes!"

Cao Cao's whole body was shaken, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wei Zhongdao. He understood what Wei Zhongdao meant, and finally understood the different attitudes of Xun You and Wei Zhongdao towards the emperor.

When everyone heard this, they had different expressions. Some looked in agreement, and some looked ugly. Wei Zhongdao had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and had a rough understanding of what everyone was thinking.

Xun You suddenly changed color, hit the eucalyptus table with his palm, stood up angrily, glared angrily, and scolded Wei Zhongdao.

"Wei Biejia, how dare you be so disrespectful to the emperor? You are a minister of my great Han Dynasty, and you also receive my salary as a great Han Dynasty man!"

Wei Zhongdao curled his lips, his eyes showing disdain, and said softly.

"I am a subordinate of General Cao, what does it have to do with the emperor?"

Xun was even more angry and pointed at Wei Zhongdao. His whole body was shaking with anger and he was speechless for a moment.

Cheng Yu had a lot of dissatisfaction with Wei Zhongdao before, but now he is on Wei Zhongdao's side and agrees.

"Lord, I also agree with what Wei Biejia said, holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!"

Only then did Cao Cao come back to his senses. He took a deep look at Xun Yu, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and stood up and said.

"In this case, we are ready to welcome the Emperor, and we will obey the Emperor's orders and not submit!"

There was a bit of a smile in Wei Zhongdao's eyes. He knew that although Cao Cao said so, he obviously listened to his words.

Xun was even more delighted, thinking that Cao Cao did not agree with Wei Zhongdao's views, but he still wanted to support the Han Dynasty, and he was the minister of ZTE who helped the Han Dynasty, the contemporary Duke of Zhou.
