Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

"The emperor came to the city in person to encourage the soldiers, but he was shot dead by Liu Bei!"

Xia Houshang repeated it again.

Cao Cao was shocked and couldn't accept this shocking news for a moment.

Cao Cao's advisers and generals were all shocked by it.

"As soon as the emperor died, Sikong lost his righteous status of holding the emperor to command the princes. The loss was immeasurable!"

Cheng Yu immediately pointed out the pros and cons.

After Cao Hong was shocked, he said disapprovingly:"Yuan Shao is dead. Who in the world is still Mengde's opponent? If the emperor dies, he will die. What's the big deal."

Cheng Yu was speechless to retort.

Cao Cao was reminded by him, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes that had been gathering clouds.

"General Zi Lian's words make sense."

"Today, there is not much value for Sikong anymore. Keeping him in your hands is actually a hidden danger."

"Although the emperor was mediocre, he was not a man of his own accord. The mutiny in Xudu was a bloody example."

Guo Jia also weighed the pros and cons and agreed with what Cao Hong said.

"That's right, if the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still alive, how can you, Mengde, ascend the throne?——"

Before the word"Emperor" could be spoken, Cao Hong suddenly realized that it was inappropriate and swallowed it back.

On the left and right, Le Jin, Li Dian and other Cao Ying civil and military officials looked at each other and understood each other.

They all agreed with Cao Hong's implication.

As long as Liu Xie is alive, he is their lord and the biggest stumbling block to ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

If Cao Cao hadn't expressed his stance yet, they would have clapped and applauded on the spot.

How could Cao Cao not be aware of the thoughts of the generals, but he could only pretend not to know.

After letting out a sigh, Cao Cao waved his hands and said,"That's all. Send an order to Yuan Rang and ask him to bury the emperor with honors as an emperor."

At this time.

Guo Jia was doubtful again:"But the death of the emperor, Jia feels, is quite strange.""

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Cao Cao saw that there was something in his words, so he waved his hand

"Judging from Ziyou's military advisor, he should be able to deduce that in order to capture Xudu, Liu Bei would ignore the emperor's life and death and forcefully attack the city."

"In this case, why did he allow the emperor to visit the city in person to boost morale?"

Guo Jia's eyes were full of meaning, pointing out the doubts in his heart.

Cao Cao also frowned and said in confusion:"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. With Ziyou's wisdom, there shouldn't be such a miscalculation."

"unless!"

"It was Ziyou, the military advisor, who deliberately forced the emperor to come to the city in person so that he could use Liu Bei's help to get rid of the emperor!"

Guo Jia secretly told his guess.

Cao Cao was shocked, his eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly realized that his son had the intention to get rid of Liu Xie for him, but he didn't want him to Carrying the reputation of regicide, he came up with this plan to kill with a borrowed knife and put the blame on Liu Bei.

This good intention is naturally to remove obstacles for him to become emperor in the future.

"He actually has such foresight for me. It’s really hard for a kid like Yuan’er....."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion.

Guo Jia lowered his voice and said:"Sikong, the emperor is dead, but Queen Fu is still alive, so we should handle it properly." Cao Cao's thoughts returned to his eyes and nodded slightly:"The queen of the previous dynasty really has to be handled properly. What's the point of being filial? proposal?"

"In Yijia's opinion, the lord might as well choose one of the young masters to marry Queen Fu in order to appease and win over people's hearts. This is also the old practice since ancient times."

Guo Jia offered a plan.

It has been a custom since ancient times for the kings of the new dynasty to marry the queens and princesses of the previous dynasty.

The purpose was naturally to appease the hearts of the old ministers of the previous dynasty.

In Xudu and even in various states and counties, the courtiers and officials of the Han Dynasty had their hearts set on the Han Dynasty. There are quite a few of them. Of course, these people dare not openly use force to launch a bloody rebellion like Dong Cheng did.

But this does not mean that these people are willing to truly surrender to Cao Cao.

Now that the emperor is dead, the Han Dynasty and the country that these people want , and then disappeared into ashes.

Then Queen Fushou has an irreplaceable symbolic meaning in the hearts of these people.

Marrying Fushou can be regarded as a way to win over and appease these people, allowing them to bid farewell to the Han Dynasty completely and live in peace. The Cao family serves the country.

Of course, Cao Cao, who is proficient in political strategy, is very clear about this.

Since he is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, he naturally cannot accept Fushou by himself, so he can only choose one person from among the disciples to accept Fushou..

This is the deep meaning of Guo Jia’s plan.

"The words of filial piety make sense."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, stroking his beard, and was silent for a moment.

Guo Jia guessed that Cao Cao must be hesitating whether to choose Cao Pi or Cao Zhi.

After all, whichever prince accepts Fu Shou is equivalent to winning those Han The benefits of support from ministers are self-evident

"I heard that Sikong had severely scolded Mr. Zihuan for Sima Yi's assassination of Ziyou's military advisor, and was extremely disappointed with him. The Cao family's reserve position will most likely be passed to Mr. Zijian in the future."

"From this point of view, Sikong will definitely let his son Jian Gongzi go to Nafu to marry Queen Nafu."

Guo Jia secretly guessed in his heart.

Determination flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he said:"I have decided that Zi You will marry Queen Fu."

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia couldn't help but be shocked.

He never expected that Cao Cao chose neither Cao Pi nor Cao Zhi. He actually let Cao Yuan, such a minister, come to Nafu to marry Queen Nafu!

In an instant, Guo Jia I thought I heard it wrong

"You heard it right, I just want Cao Yuan to come to Nafu to marry Queen Nafu!"

Cao Cao knew what Guo Jia was thinking, so he repeated it again. His tone was even more firm and could not be questioned.

Guo Jia looked shocked and quickly reminded him:"Military Advisor Ziyou has indeed made great achievements. It is reasonable for Sikong to reward him with three thousand beauties. It should be, but this Empress Fu is no ordinary woman. Sikong really doesn’t intend to let several young masters marry her, but he allows a foreigner like Ziyou Military Advisor to marry her.——"

"Guo Jia didn't say the word"outsider", but the implication was already clear.

If you accept Queen Fu, you can get the support of the Han officials. Such a force that cannot be underestimated, even if Cao Cao trusts you again. Cao Yuan, we can't just give him away. No matter how great his contribution is, he is just a minister.

"Fengxiao, you would never have thought that Yuan'er is my biological son!"

"The foundation of my Cao family will be passed on to him in the future."

"If I don't give the Hanchen power behind Queen Fu to my Yuan'er, who else can I give it to?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, who looked shocked and confused, with a meaningful sly smile in his eyes.
