Chapter 1 The Crown Prince

  From then on, whoever dares to say that his crown prince is a good-for-nothing, Liu Xie will definitely spit in that person's face. Is this being a good-for-nothing? Is this being arrogant because of favoritism?

  This is a bright and intelligent person who can see through the situation and has high IQ.

  It's precisely because I hoped my son would become accomplished that he ended up being a good-for-nothing, and the disappointment was all the greater. It's precisely because the disappointment was so great that suddenly I discovered my son was a man of letters, and the joy was all the greater.

  Today's Liu Xie feels that this period of time is the most lively.

  Even more beautiful than eating the celestial fruit.

  It's really beyond expectation, beyond expectation!

  Liu Xie's face was no longer cold and stern, but instead filled with a warm smile.

  Compared with Emperor Xian of Han's astonishment, Empress Fu was also surprised but not as shocked as Emperor Xian. As the saying goes, "no one knows a son better than his mother."

  Although Liu Feng was very mischievous, Empress Fu sometimes thought that this son was extremely intelligent. For example, he raised a dog called General, a fierce mastiff.

  Training from dawn till dusk every day.

  Empress Fu thought Liu Feng was plotting something, although nothing had happened yet.

  Sometimes, Liu Feng would also reveal some contemplative expressions, which Empress Fu had seen a few times. Therefore, Empress Fu felt that this son was not simple.

  Just continue spoiling then.

  Otherwise, Fu Huanghou was born into a prestigious family and was the empress who set an example for the world. How could she have spoiled her son so much?

  So, it's not surprising that Liu Feng said something thought-provoking today. It's just a bit strange that this son, who usually keeps to himself and seems to be intentionally humble, suddenly made a stunning statement today.

  Empress Fu looked at Liu Feng with curiosity.

  On the other hand, Liu Xie was surprised and then fell into a difficult situation because of Liu Feng's words. Liu Feng still looked at Liu Xie with bright eyes, waiting for an answer.

  After a long time, Liu Xie finally sighed and said: "Today, the world is in chaos, and power is in the hands of the vassals. Among them, the Yuan family is the largest, followed by the Cao family. The Liu family really doesn't have an inch or a foot of land."

  As the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie's words required great courage. But with the object being the Crown Prince, the future heir of the Great Han, it was a different matter altogether.

  Moreover, Emperor Xian had already sensed that Liu Feng was talented and would not treat him as just a son.

  Liu Feng nodded secretly when he heard this, Liu Xie was not powerful, but he was quite clever and not conservative. He didn't look down on him just because he was younger.

  "Now the Cao family's power is great, and they have the ambition to replace the Liu family. Because for now, there are still many people in the world who support Han. They do not dare to act rashly. Therefore, with the Emperor's talent, he can still sit on the throne. But I am different, if I were extremely intelligent and made Cao Cao suspicious, wouldn't I be harmed?" After nodding in his heart, Liu Feng raised his head and said to Liu Xie.

  Only eight years old, not only speaking logically, but also doing things with a purpose, being absurd for years just to protect himself.

  This made Liu Xie listen with even more surprise and joy in his heart. It can be said that he was surprised one after another.

  This son is right, really too right. With Liu's current status and identity, only the more foolish and absurd people can live longer, and those who live longer are more likely to seize opportunities.

  Eight years old, just eight years old.

  Liu Xie was overjoyed, looking at Liu Feng with a sense of having stumbled upon a treasure. The more he looked, the more he felt that this was a heaven-sent gift. Blessings to the great Han, blessings to the great Han!

  Liu Xie cried out in his heart.

  "What plan do you have in mind, Your Highness?" Liu Xie asked humbly, no longer underestimating the eight-year-old Liu Feng.

  Now that Han is on the verge of collapse, many officials who followed Emperor Xian to Xuchang in the east were killed by Cao Cao.

  Nowadays, there are basically no people around Liu Xie who can plan and strategize. Even Dong Cheng, the General of Chariots and Cavalry, does not dare to enter the palace casually for fear of being harmed.

  Now that there is someone to discuss with, Liu Xie feels somewhat excited.

  "Learn from Zhuang Wang, three years without flying, one flight to the sky. Three years without making a sound, one sound shocks people." Liu Feng's face was also extremely excited as he said this.

  It's been eight years, damn it, eight years. Finally able to express the thoughts in my heart, what a relief.

  It's so hard to bear when it's bottled up in your heart.

  "Hmm." Liu Xie nodded repeatedly after hearing this, he also thought so.

  Now that Cao Cao's power is so great, wanting to confront him head-on would be like hitting a stone with an egg, there is no possibility of success. Only by taking a detour can one find a glimmer of hope.

  But in Liu Xie's heart, there was indeed a strategy.

  The imperial edict was issued. Dong Cheng and Wang Fu were summoned for a secret meeting to plot against Cao Cao. This was also what Emperor Xian had in mind, and it was the major event that was being prepared at present.

  "To accomplish great things, one must first have military power. With military power, one can conquer the world and punish those who do not obey." Liu Xie said this immediately, his eyes extremely sharp, containing the discontent and frustration of being an emperor.

  As the Son of Heaven, he had to bow his head to others, what a humiliation it was.

  Liu Xie was very excited, but he didn't notice that Liu Feng's face had changed color and his expression had also changed.

  Liu Feng looked at Emperor Liu Xie's excited appearance, as if he had just tasted forbidden fruit for the first time, and calculated the date. Liu Feng guessed that Liu Xie might have done something big.

  It's just a deceitful edict.

  Liu Xie was still a prominent figure in Liu Feng's heart. At present, the Cao family is powerful, while the Liu family is weak, and their situation is precarious.

  He did not seek to fawn on the Cao family, but instead actively struggled, willing to risk being killed, and contacted Dong Cheng, Wang Fu, Wu Lan and other officials to plot against Cao Cao.

  This is an extremely bold move.

  But alas, circumstances are stronger than man.

  Not to mention that Dong Cheng and others were not the kind of people who would engage in secret plots, but in the end, the plot was leaked. As a result, the last force that supported the Han dynasty, led by Dong Cheng and Wang Fu, was completely uprooted.

  This was the most painful loss in Liu Xie's life.

  Besides, even if the plot was not leaked, would there be a chance of success in killing Cao Cao? Relying on Dong Cheng's 5,000 troops outside the city? Didn't you see that inside the city, there were still 30,000 regular elite soldiers under Cao Cao's trusted control.

  This is what happens when an egg hits a rock.

  It was really a big mistake for Dong Cheng to send troops to attack Cao Cao.

  If Liu Feng was the mastermind, it wouldn't be like this. Cao Cao, he was one of the three most powerful officials in the country at that time, with many guards around him.

  But in the early morning hours, when alone, he was nothing more than a mediocre opponent.

  As long as you have one or two trusted confidants and ambush troops outside, you can get rid of Cao Cao. It's better to do it this way and be done with it quickly. Of course, doing so will also have very serious consequences.

  If Cao Cao was killed in the palace, his generals would definitely rise up in anger and rebel. At that time, Liu Feng's life would be in danger.

  Unless absolutely necessary, Liu Feng would not have advised Liu Xie to do so.

  Besides, even if one's life is spared, after Cao Cao dies, Yuan Shao will dominate, and it will still be a chaotic world of treacherous sons.

  However, Liu Xie's imperial edict, Liu Feng did not agree with. It needs to be stopped. But how to stop it? Should he just speak out directly?

  It's good to pretend to be foolish now, but if you really blurt out the story of the "Huangtou Edict", Liu Xie might shout "Sorcerer!" and have him dragged out and beheaded.

  Things that haven't been inquired about beforehand can't be spoken of.
