Three Kingdoms: I am the Crown Prince
Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie sat upright on the throne, watching as Liu Feng walked in from outside. His step-by-step approach was extremely steady and heavy, with an air of arrogance, as if his sharp edges were all exposed.
He was slightly stunned.
He is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men. However, Liu Xie's heart was still more delighted than worried, for a son like this, how could a father not be delighted?
However, thinking about Liu Feng's three major mistakes today, Liu Xie still felt a headache, and it hurt even more. The more outstanding this son was, the more he wanted to protect him.
"Go out and guard." However, Emperor Xian of Han ordered Chen Gong before speaking with Lü Feng.
"Yes." Chen Guang responded with a "yes", bowed and walked out to go on patrol.
"The crown prince has gotten into big trouble today." Chen Guang left, and Liu Xie smiled wryly to Liu Feng.
"The princes are all following the previous agreement with the emperor to eliminate the Cao family and make this move, why come to great disaster." Liu Feng naturally knew the concerns in Liu Xie's heart, but Liu Feng did not agree, laughing and saying.
He abandoned the disguise of a spoiled young master, revealing a fierce and even violent aura. It was all for Liu's sake. Killing Xiahou Shang was not enough to make outsiders praise him, but he could only be pleased in his heart.
"Releasing vicious dogs to bite the prince's attendants, executing the prince's junior tutor Chen Feng, and flogging Cao Pi - isn't this a great calamity?" Liu Xie saw that Liu Fu seemed to be speaking with confidence, and couldn't help but feel some anger, saying.
"The Taizi Sheren is the wings of the Taizi. Xiahou Chang and others, only following Cao Pi's orders, are actually rebellious ministers. Their fathers were mostly old ministers of the Cao family who held heavy arms, if they were allowed to grow up, they would become a great disaster. So I took the opportunity to kill them. As for Chen Feng, although he was the junior tutor of the Taizi, he was actually a running dog of the Cao family, and killing him is even more justified. As for whipping Cao Pi, it's just a cover-up." Liu Feng said with a loud voice, raising his fist.
"Isn't Xiahou Shang still not dead? Why did the Emperor say it was a killing? Flogging Cao Pi, why is it also a cover-up?" Liu Xie saw Liu Feng's sophistry and felt even more annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't help asking curiously.
"Dogs are poisonous. Anyone bitten by a dog will die within three months." Liu Feng said with a smile, revealing this relatively secret matter of the time.
"What." Liu Xie and Empress Fu beside him widened their eyes, and immediately felt a chill rising in their hearts. They had never heard of such a thing before, but Liu Feng would definitely not lie.
Liu Feng had long known that being bitten by a dog would be fatal. This was premeditated, motivated murder of Xiahou Shang and others. Just as Liu Feng said, the fathers of Xiahou Shang and others were all powerful officials of the Cao clan, if they were allowed to develop freely, there would definitely be big problems, so it was better to eliminate them early on, which is equivalent to cutting the grass and eliminating the roots.
This eight-year-old son used such a vicious method to kill the future great general of the Cao family, and it's really deep.
However, a gleam of joy rose in Liu Xie's heart. In today's chaotic world, only a heroic lord can save the country. And what is meant by a heroic lord is someone with deep wisdom, capable methods, and who understands power tactics.
And at the age of eight, Liu Feng has already shown this talent.
Empress Fu was also of one mind with Emperor Xian, and the two exchanged a knowing glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
"As for whipping Cao Pi, it was just a cover-up. The Emperor thought that I, as an eight-year-old child, couldn't possibly do something like killing the Crown Prince's tutor, even if I were abnormal. Cao Cao is a treacherous hero and must have been suspicious, suspecting that the Emperor would benefit from it and use my hands to eliminate Xiahou Shang and Chen Feng. But whipping Cao Pi was different - he is Cao Cao's eldest son. Whipping him would be equivalent to declaring war on the Cao family. With the current Emperor's power, going to war with the Cao family would undoubtedly be like hitting a stone with an egg. Therefore, this matter could not have been done by the Emperor's hand. It would only make Cao Cao mistakenly believe that it was my willful and arbitrary behavior. Moreover, I had been somewhat arrogant in the past, so it was reasonable."
Liu Feng analyzed Liu Xie's words and found them to be well-reasoned and clear in purpose.
Flogging Cao Pi, on the one hand was to establish prestige, and on the other hand was to add to his arrogant and overbearing image as a crown prince. Finally, it was to eliminate Xiahou Shang and others, as a cover-up.
"But it's useless, isn't it? One nephew can make Cao Cao determined to abolish the crown prince." Liu Feng said with reason, but in the end, Liu Xie still smiled bitterly and said.
"Don't worry. As long as the Emperor firmly supports me, Cao Cao won't dare to be excessive. After all, in today's world, Cao Cao is only second-rate, and Yuan Shao of Hebei is the true overlord. Yuan Shao has already had thoughts of deposing the Emperor and enthroning someone else. If Cao Cao were to clash with the Emperor, or even fall out with him, leading to a split, it would certainly give Yuan Shao an excuse. This isn't something Cao Cao wants to see happen. Therefore, before Yuan Shao is pacified, both the Emperor and I are safe." Liu Feng shook his head and said.
At the same time, Liu Feng also added a sentence in his heart, their opportunity was also during this period.
As soon as Zhao Yun returns, all plans can be unfolded, and step by step, help the emperor shake off Cao Cao's control. According to the current power of the Han dynasty, it is impossible to overthrow Cao Cao immediately.
Liu Feng was clear about this in his heart and knew he had to take it one step at a time.
After Liu Feng's years of planning, the first step is to get rid of Cao Cao and take control of Xu Du and its surrounding areas. There is a saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a snake.
To get rid of Cao Cao is to be autonomous, even if it's just a few cities, it's still a place for heroes to use their skills. After all, the Han dynasty is the orthodox ruler of the world and can issue orders, summon vassals to restrain and defend itself.
Anyway, in Liu Feng's plan, after taking this step, at the very least, he can follow Zhou Shi's example, although the power has been transferred, but still can survive as a co-ruler of the world.
However, this is at least. According to Liu Feng's plan, it was a gradual encroachment on the Central Plains, eventually forming a larger force. Competing with the heroes of the world for dominance and contending for the world.
This step out, you need a strong general. So, Zhao Yun is a key figure who first protected the escort and later became a general. Before Liu Feng took control of Xudu, Zhao Yun was an escort, responsible for protecting Liu Feng's safety. In unfavorable situations, he can also lead Liu Feng to break through.
After Liu Feng took control of Xuchang, Zhao Yun could serve as a general-in-chief, responsible for summoning the great army to resist Cao Cao and campaigning east and west.
Loyal and dedicated, the one and only Zhao Zilong, no other choice but him.
Anyway, from the moment Liu Feng was confirmed by Liu Xie and got a little capital to recruit Zhao Yun as his general. Liu Feng's plan began to take shape step by step and marched forward firmly.
From that moment on, Liu Feng was no longer just a crown prince who only knew how to be arrogant and self-indulgent. He became an enterprising and progressive crown prince, the heir apparent of the Great Han Dynasty.
Either be the master of revival or die heroically on the battlefield. There is no third way out.
