Chapter 1 The Crown Prince

  Xun Yu. This person is quite contradictory.

  According to historical records, he can be said to have been devoted to Cao Cao's cause with all his heart and soul. However, this person also had illusions about the Han dynasty.

  Because when Cao Cao was old, he wanted to advance his title to Duke of Wei. Xun Yu expressed opposition, believing that Cao Cao should be an honest gentleman and also tactfully suggested that Cao Cao should be loyal.

  Offended Cao Cao and was demoted as a result.

  In the end, he died. However, there are two accounts of Xun Yu's death: one is that he died of grief, and the other is that he was forced to take poison and kill himself.

  Among the Cao family, the most powerful and influential minister had a tragic ending. At the same time, it also made Liu Feng realize that this minister still had some illusions and hopes for the Han dynasty.

  In his mind, Cao Cao might have thought of himself as a great minister like the Duke of Zhou, who assisted the Han dynasty.

  So in Liu Feng's view, if there was anyone among the Cao family who could be won over, it would have to be Xun Yu.

  At the same time, in Liu Feng's plan, if one day comes when Xu Du can break free from Cao Cao's control and establish his own country, he will conquer the unyielding heavens.

  Xun Yu can be used as the chief heavy minister.

  After all, Liu Feng is still a bit clever, but conquering the world is not an overnight task. If there are no talented people to help him, it's better not to mention it, and even mentioning it would make people lose their teeth.

  Liu Feng obtained a bit of power and sent Taizi House Commandant Fu Dian to search for Zhao Yun in Hebei, also due to this reason.

  So Liu Feng is not afraid of Xun Yu.

  Moreover, since it was Xun Yu who came out instead of Cao Cao himself, Liu and Feng became even more confident in getting through the difficult situation.

  "Your Majesty, Xun Yu is a rather loyal and trustworthy person, not an ordinary old minister of the Cao family. We can pretend to be humble with him." Liu Feng thought for a moment before saying in a low voice to Emperor Xian.

  "What? How to install?" Liu Xie was slightly stunned and immediately asked.

  "So be it." Liu Feng glanced at Emperor Xian of Han and stepped up onto the throne, whispering into his ear.

  "All right, all right." Liu Xie nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

  "What are you father and son talking about?" Liu Feng's small action provoked a dissatisfaction from Empress Fu, who said.

  "Heh heh, Empress Dowager, next we need to deal with important figures like Xun Yu. You shouldn't be here." Liu Feng stepped forward and grasped the arm of the Empress Dowager, saying with a smile.

  Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Empress Fu to be dissatisfied, he said in a soft voice: "Mother Empress, I am hungry and want to eat the meal you personally cooked."

  Soft words and entreaties immediately put Empress Fu in her place.

  Only to see Empress Fu's face reveal a hint of heartache, she said: "Alright, alright. I'll go and do it for you." Then, Empress Fu turned to Emperor Xian and said: "Your Majesty, I will withdraw first."

  "Go." Liu Xie nodded and said.

  Immediately afterwards, Empress Fu reached out her hand and tapped Liu Feng's forehead, then stood up and walked out.

  "How you handled your mother-in-law is truly impressive." Emperor Xian of Han said with a smile to Liu Fu after Empress Dowager Dong walked away.

  Liu Feng shrugged his shoulders upon hearing this, although he didn't want to pretend to be obedient either. However, since it pleased Empress Fu, he often received many benefits. Over time, he also got used to it naturally.

  Furthermore, although Empress Fu was young, in Liu Feng's eyes, she was the mother of this life, not only connected by blood but also really good to him.

  "Your Majesty, the Minister of Works has arrived outside."

  Chen Guang reported again in the grand hall, letting Liu Xie and Liu Feng shift their attention from family matters to current events.

  Father and son exchanged a glance, Liu Xie sat back down properly, while Liu Feng also sat properly beside Liu Xie.

  "Very well." Liu Xie said, raising his hand after sitting down.

  "Alright." Chen Guang responded with a "yes", and walked out.

  Xun Yu walked in after a moment.

  "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to the Crown Prince." After entering the grand hall, Xun Yu made a very respectful bow to Emperor Liu Xie and his son, saying. From this one bow, it can be seen that Xun Yu still had some hope for the Han dynasty.

  "Please rise, Minister of Works."

  Liu Xie nodded and said.

  "What is it that the Imperial Secretary has come to the palace for an audience, what urgent matter is there?" Liu Xie spoke again. His voice was clear and far-reaching, as if coming from a distance, with dignity and majesty.

  It must be said that as an emperor, Liu Xie was very dignified.

  When Xun Yu saw Liu Bei's majestic demeanor and relatively intelligent appearance, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

  Moreover, he could no longer bear it and excessively forced Emperor Xian of Han to depose Liu Feng.

  But then Xun Yu thought, this matter has too great an impact, and Cao Cao has already spoken out. If Liu and Feng cannot be protected, it's one thing; but if things go badly, even the Emperor himself may not be able to be protected.

  Xun Yu still had some illusions about the Han dynasty, knowing that Emperor Xian was still alive, the Han dynasty still had a glimmer of hope. But if at this time, the emperor was deposed and another person was established.

  The Han dynasty has really come to an end.

  Xun Yu gritted his teeth and said: "I dare ask Your Majesty, how will you deal with the incident that occurred in the palace today?"

  Here.

  Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat at the same time, and he secretly thought to himself.

  "But it was just the crown prince who killed someone, what's the benefit of putting him in charge?" Liu Xie said with a relaxed and smiling face.

  "This." Xun Yu almost choked with rage in his heart, but the crown prince had killed someone, what was there to be done about it. What a straightforward answer this was.

  But it's still not simple enough, in simpler terms, the crown prince got into trouble and his father bailed him out.

  Xun Yu had his heart set on preserving Liu Xie's position, but instead received such a response that he was left speechless.

  Looking at Xun Yu's expression, Liu Feng secretly apologized in his heart. Although Xun Yu is a reliable person, he is currently on Cao Cao's side after all.

  Representing Cao Cao to abolish him would only anger this old minister. In the future, if there is an opportunity to escape from Cao's grasp, he will personally visit and apologize.

  If this prince were to be deposed or poisoned, then nothing would need to be explained.

  "The Crown Prince killing the Junior Tutor is something I've never heard of before. May I ask Your Majesty, if all the people in the world were to find out, how could we still revere the Han dynasty?" Xun Yu said with a burst of emotion, and then struggled to regain his composure as he spoke to Emperor Xian.

  It's no longer a gentle persuasion, but a die-hard advice with a strong momentum.

  "What does the Minister of Works think?" Liu Xie's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said in a cold voice.

  "The Crown Prince's virtues are not enough, he should yield to the wise." Xun Yu said word by word to Liu Xie. After finishing speaking, Xun Yu immediately lowered his head, he didn't want the Emperor to think that he was being presumptuous.

  "Hmph. The Minister of War is probably ignorant. That's right, the Crown Prince stabbing the Junior Guardian to death is indeed unheard of. But I'll tell you about something that has been heard before, Minister of War." Liu Feng said coldly from the side.

  "Please instruct me, Your Highness."

  Xun Yu had no good impression of Liu and Feng, and upon hearing this, he clenched his fist and spoke in a deep voice.
