Chapter 85 Chapter Eleven

When Lu Bu was pushed out, he turned his head and shouted to Liu Bei: "Big Ear, you are the most unfaithful person in the world, did you forget to shoot the halberd at the gate to solve the crisis for you?" Cao Mengde seemed to realize something, and glanced at Liu Bei quietly.Liu Bei was sitting upright with his usual expression on his face. At this time, the guard pushed Chen Gong up. "Gongtai is very resourceful, but he followed Lu Bu, a reckless man in a muddleheaded way. Today he lost his way and found his way back. Would you like to be my staff member and help me plan the world." Cao Mengde wanted to recruit Chen Gong.

Chen Gong said: "I abandoned you back then because you were evil-minded, deceitful and vicious." Cao Mengde said with a smile: "I, Cao Mengde, don't care about past grievances, and future generations will comment on whether my mind is right or wrong. I admire your talent and sincerely keep you." Chen Gong said: "I am an upright person in the world. How can I cast a bright pearl in secret." Cao Mengde said: "If you don't take care of yourself, how can your old mother take care of herself?" Chen Gong said: "Old people, old people, old people, I heard that those who rule the world with filial piety will not harm other people's relatives, and the life and death of old mothers are all in Ming Gong's hands. It is not up to me to decide."

Cao Mengde said, "What about your wife and children?" Chen Gong said: "Young, my young and the young of people, I heard that those who rule the world with benevolence will have endless heirs, and the safety of their wives and children is also in Minggong's hands. I can't decide." Cao Mengde was silent for a long time after hearing this, felt dizzy for a while, waved his hand lightly and said, "Push it down!" Chen Gong continued to curse. The guard pushes Zhang Liao up. Cao Mengde pointed to Zhang Liao and said, "This man looks so familiar."

Zhang Liao said: "The meeting between me and you in Puyang City will never be forgotten. I just feel sorry." Cao Mengde thought that Zhang Liao had surrendered, so he couldn't wait to ask: "What regrets?" "It's a pity that the fire was not big that day, and you, a country thief, were not burned to death!" Zhang Liao said sharply with his head held high and his face pale. Cao Mengde jumped into a rage and pulled out his sword.Zhang Liao stretched his neck, his expression unchanged.Liu Bei grabbed Cao Mengde's arm, Guan Yunchang said: "Zhang Liao's loyalty is well-known, and I would like to guarantee it with my life."

Cao Mengde laughed loudly and said: "I like loyal people the most, so I made a joke." Putting the sword into the sheath lightly, he stepped forward and untie the rope for Zhang Liao himself. Zhang Liao didn't expect Cao Mengde to be able to repay grievances with kindness, with such a broad mind.He thought that even Liu Bei had joined him, so what else should I care about? "I would like to join General Cao." Zhang Liao knelt down in front of Cao Mengde. "My lord, what happened to Lu Bu's wife and children?" Cao Mengde suddenly thought of the stunningly beautiful Diao Chan, the woman who ruined Dong Zhuo's life.I would like to see how pretty this woman is. I am afraid that a man who conquers the world will not be able to conquer a woman. Cao Mengde suddenly had a thought. "Go to Xudu first, so I can take care of you." Cao Mengde said.

Emperor Xian was bored in Xuchang. He was not a mediocre person. Eighteen or nineteen-year-old Han Xiandi had read a lot of books, could write a good hand, and was handsome. He just lived in the palace for a long time, and his face was obviously pale. When I was bored, I drank and wrote poems with the queen and concubines. The winter in Xuchang was dry this year, and there was almost no rain for the whole winter.So when spring comes, it makes people feel that the chill is gone all of a sudden. "General Cao used to come to the palace, but he never came once after Lu Bu was destroyed. Could it be that he was too busy with military affairs?" Emperor Xian was watering the peonies in the garden.

Dong Cheng caressed the trunk of the oleander tree, looked around, and said in a low voice: "This man has a very deep personality, and he is also uncertain about the emperor, making it difficult to guess his motives." Emperor Xian spread his hands, and sighed with sorrow on his face: "I am the Supreme Emperor..." The two were talking speculatively, and Cao Mengde and Liu Bei went straight to the garden. Emperor Xian and Dong Cheng observed the person next to Cao Mengde at the same time. Dong Cheng had heard that there was Liu Bei who had big ears, drooping hands, and fingers that could reach his knees. "This must be Liu Bei." Dong Cheng thought to himself.

"Liu Bei is here to see the emperor." Liu Bei stepped forward and saluted. "This is not in the palace, there is no need to be strict with etiquette." Seeing Liu Bei's handsome appearance and benevolent face, Emperor Xian was secretly happy when he saw Liu Bei's handsome appearance and kindness, and he had already heard that Liu Bei treated others with gentleness and humility, and cared about the reputation of the common people. He helped Liu Bei up affectionately. Seeing Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty being so affectionate to Liu Bei, Cao Mengde felt a bit of unhappiness in his heart. He also heard that Emperor Xian and Liu Bei set up their family trees.Then I thought about it, when the villagers saw the villagers, their eyes were full of tears. Kuang Xiandi and Liu Bei belonged to the same family, so it is human nature to be so affectionate.

Cao Mengde stepped forward and told about Liu Bei's virtues and talents in front of Emperor Xian, so Emperor Xian appointed Liu Bei as General Zuo and Hou Yicheng. Not long after Cao Mengde returned to the mansion, Xun Yu and a group of advisers went to the mansion to meet Cao Cao. Xun Yu said: "Liu Bei is recognized as an uncle by the emperor, which is obviously not very beneficial to Ming Gong." Cao Mengde replied slowly: "You don't have to worry, the emperor depends on us, not to mention the emperor uncle, I have Liu Bei Staying in Xudu, although their uncles and nephews are often close to each other, they are all under my control. I have nothing to fear. The most troublesome thing for me right now is Taiwei Yang Biao, who is a relative of Yuan Shu. , if there is collusion with Eryuan, there will be another massacre in the world, and this person should be eliminated immediately."

Xun Yu said: "It's too easy to find fault with Yang Biao. If you want to punish him, there is nothing wrong with it." "Just figure it out." On the third day after Cao Mengde returned to the mansion, Taiwei Yang Biao was accused of colluding with Yuan Shu and intending to rebel. Cao Mengde sent Man Chong to punish the crime.At this time, Kong Rong came to Xuchang from Beihai to meet Cao Mengde. Both of them are the jade pillars of literature. Cao Mengde originally thought that Kong Rong wanted to discuss poetry with him, but he didn't want Kong Rong to advise Cao Mengde bluntly: "Yang Biao has supported the imperial court openly for generations. How could he be in love with Yuan Shu?" Hook up?"

Cao Mengde looked powerless and said, "This is the opinion of the court." Kong Rong did not give in, and said sharply: "If King Cheng of Zhou killed Duke Zhao, would Duke Zhou not know?" Cao Mengde had no choice but to order Yang Biao to be dismissed from office and exiled to the countryside.Yilang Zhao Yan had a very good personal relationship with Yang Biao, so he went to the emperor to ask the emperor to punish Cao Mengde for the crime of framing a minister without obeying the emperor's order.Cao Mengde was furious and immediately sent someone to kill Zhao Yan.The ministers and officials were silent. Cheng Yu, a bearded counselor, said to Cao Mengde: "Ming Gong's reputation is now shocking the world. We should take advantage of this to overthrow the imperial court and establish a new regime." Cao Mengde was extremely shocked when he heard Cheng Yu's words, rolled his eyes twice, and scolded Cheng Yu loudly: "How dare you come up with such a bad idea for me, didn't Yuan Shu become the emperor? What happened to the result?" Cheng Yu couldn't figure it out, and came to offer advice with great interest. After thinking about the suggestion for a long time, he was scolded by Mr. Cao.He really couldn't figure out what Cao Mengde was thinking.
