Chapter 726 Cao Cao's Attitude

Cao Cao was fully armed and sat behind the scene, watching Guo Jia walk in, and was surprised: "Fengxiao?"

Guo Jia smiled and bowed: "General Wei, don't you even have a cup of tea when you meet old friends?"

Cao Cao's eyes rolled, he laughed loudly, and waved his hand generously: "Come on, serve tea." He squeezed his eyes at Guo Jia again: "Fengxiao, this is the good tea I just bought from Jiangling Tea Market, you have to taste it."

"Then it's better to obey your orders than respect." Guo Jia did not refuse and sat down on the mat next to him. Not long after, two tea boys came in to cook water and tea. The tea fragrance in the room was overflowing. Cao Cao and Guo Jia were chatting and laughing, saying some gossip about the whole world. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Until the tea boy served the tea and left, Cao Cao raised his hand to invite him.

"Please try it, and see how this Yi tea is better than the tea in the Chu King's Mansion."

Guo Jia smiled and took a sip, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "General Wei, is this the best jade dragon?"

Cao Cao slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "It turns out that he is from the King of Chu Mansion. He is the best tea ceremony in the world. He tastes it in one bite. Hehe, it's not bad. This is the best jade dragon. I bought it for a lot of money. Why, there is also the King of Chu Mansion?"

"Yes, but very few." Guo Jia took another sip, slowly tasted it for a while, then put down the white porcelain cup like white jade and praised: "So, there is finally another person in Luoyang City who can taste the best jade dragon."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows: "There were some people before?"

"Yes." Guo Jia sighed, "General Wei doesn't know that this top-quality jade dragon is a new species just discovered. There are always good things. Merchants will choose to send it to the King of Chu's Mansion. The king fell in love with it at first sight, but the amount of this kind of tea is very small. It only has more than kilograms per year, and the king dared not use it for himself. So he sent this kilogram of tea to Luoyang, half of it for the Queen Mother, and half for the Queen Mother, leaving only a few fractions. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected storm in the sky. In the blink of an eye, King Hui of Chu fell off the cliff and died, abandoning us and clouds. The Queen Mother was even more bizarre and died inexplicably in the palace, in front of His Majesty. The King had a while ago when he received the newly arrived jade dragon, he secretly shed tears, saying that there was no one in Luoyang who could taste the taste of the jade dragon. Unexpectedly..." He shook his head: "Now there is General Wei again. How lucky."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he pondered silently. Of course, he would not completely believe Guo Jia's words. Liu Xiu gave this kind of tea to Queen Mother Song and King Hui of Chu. He believed it, but it would be a bit mysterious to say that only these two people in Luoyang had tasted the jade dragon tea. The reason why he bought it at Jiangling this time was because he had drunk it before, which was given by Song Qi. Song Qi's tea came from the reward of Queen Mother Song in the palace.

However, the two people mentioned by Guo Jia, especially the latter, made Cao Cao very uncomfortable. Cao Cao did not believe that Empress Dowager Song's death was the little emperor's hand, because it was not beneficial to the little emperor to kill Empress Dowager Song. Rumors are everywhere that are unfavorable to the emperor at present. This is a clear proof. With his understanding of the little emperor, he believes that the little emperor will not do such stupid things. Even if he wants to kill, he cannot choose another opportunity, but he wants to let Empress Dowager Song die in front of him and put himself in a place where he has no way to defend himself?

However, the death of Empress Dowager Song was also a great harm to him. Empress Dowager Song maintained the interests of the Song family and those related to the Song family. In one day, the Song family could enjoy one more day. When the Empress Dowager Song died, it could not be said that the tea was cold, but it would be a matter of time before the Song family had no talent. For the Song family, who had no talent, if the Queen Mother Song died, the sky would collapse.

So who killed Empress Dowager Song? Why didn’t the young emperor investigate the murderer, give no explanation, and treat it as normal as death as if nothing had happened. What is the reason for this? Originally, Cao Cao suspected that it was Liu Xiu’s move, but now it seems that it doesn’t look like it. Guo Jia’s purpose has been revealed from this sentence. Liu Xiu sent Guo Jia as a close confidant, and his intention was very clear, and sincerity was not needed. Liu Xiu wanted to continue to join forces with him, Cao Cao, to transfer the wealth of the Song family, which is what Guo Jia said, to his Cao family, to win his support. This did not change much from the situation before the death of Empress Dowager Song, and Liu Xiu had no motivation to kill Empress Dowager Song.

So who can benefit from it? Who is the enemy? Cao Cao was puzzled.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't say anything, Guo Jia didn't say anything, but slowly savored the tea, and there was no sign of too much expression on his face. After a long time, Cao Cao smiled sadly: "Fengxiao, since the King of Chu is valued, I won't tell you nothing. Fengxiao, tell me, what is he coming to Luoyang for?"

Guo Jia's smile flashed and there was a bit of evil spirit on his handsome face: "Of course I'm seeking justice."

"Just, what justice?"

"The justice of King Hui of Chu." Guo Jia stared at Cao Cao: "I wonder if the Song family and General Wei want to seek justice for Empress Dowager Song? If the death of King Hui of Chu accidentally fell off the cliff and could barely cover up, then the death of Queen Mother Song did not even have such an excuse, it would be too unreasonable."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said nothing.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, but his smile was filled with indifference and precipitated anger: "Of course, if General Wei adheres to Master Dong's Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, then you can also be your loyal ministers. My king comes forward to seek justice for the Queen Mother Song and repay the Queen Mother's kindness for the support of the King back then. Even if he is torn to pieces, he will do whatever he wants."

Cao Cao's eyelids twitched twice, and he heard Liu Xiu's determination. He was willing to break into pieces. In other words, no matter what Cao Cao's attitude, the Chu Palace has decided. If you support us, we are allies. If you oppose us, we are enemies. This is Liu Xiu forcing him to express his opinion.

Cao Cao was in a dilemma. It was not that he didn't want to seek justice for Empress Dowager Song. Even Liu Xiu did not hesitate to seek justice from the emperor for his support. What reason did the Cao family, who had a marriage with the Song family, not an ordinary family? But this is the royal family, not an ordinary family. If an ordinary family suffers grievance, his family members will of course come to the door and ask for an explanation. Even if it is a bloody blow, it is just a civil dispute. If it hits the emperor's door, it is not an ordinary dispute, it is a rebellion. The emperor may use an edict to turn all your reasons into empty words.

"It seems that General Wei is a defender." Guo Jia drank the tea in the cup and raised his clothes: "Since that's the case, should General Wei send my head to the emperor to show his loyalty? If necessary, Jia will wait here. If not, Jia will leave."

Cao Cao quickly stood up, waved his hands repeatedly, and told Guo Jia not to be anxious. He smiled bitterly, "Fengxiao, I have been with the King of Chu for many years, but I don't know his character yet? He can disobey the world, how can I stay out of the matter? But this is a big deal, so let me think about it again and discuss it with my subordinates. You have to think carefully, don't you think so?"

Guo Jia smiled: "This is natural. General Guard might as well consider it slowly and consider it from multiple perspectives. If the virtuous subordinates are not enough to help the general decide the plan, you might as well use external forces. There are many strange soldiers in Ruying, and there are countless people who are higher than mine, Guo Jia, just like my uncle. If the general needs it, I can introduce it on my behalf. Hahaha..."

Cao Cao was embarrassed and asked Guo Jia to take his seat again with a smirk, and continued the tea again, saying intentionally or unintentionally: "Fengxiao, I will tell you that when His Highness, the King of Chu first arrived in Luoyang, I met him. After I met him, I felt that no matter how famous the friends I had before were, they were all native chickens and dogs, and were not worth mentioning. As expected, within a few years, he was full of success, rising to the sky, attracting countless heroes to fight. You also know that although I, Cao Cao, had little knowledge, was also a person with high self-esteem. I didn't agree with the so-called famous scholars and wise men, and the princes of the aristocratic family, only to His Highness..." He gave a thumbs up and said seriously: "That's so admirable."

Guo Jia smiled: "Actually, my king has no strengths, he just treats others with sincerity and benefits with others."

Cao Cao nodded in understanding.

Cao Cao had settled Guo Jia and immediately summoned his confidants to discuss. After the emergency consultation, he gave Guo Jia a reply. The Chu Palace seeks justice and everyone in the world supports it, but the scope of the impact can only be limited to the court, and it is best to control it within the imperial city. This is done for the safety of the people of Luoyang. Luoyang has a large population, and once a war starts, the losses will definitely not be small. Secondly, it is for the sake of the Han Dynasty. After all, Liu Xiu is also a royal family. I believe he will not hope to overthrow the Han Dynasty. If Yuan Shao has an opportunity to take advantage of it, it will be a big mistake.

Guo Jia agreed and immediately wrote a reply. After Cao Cao took a look, he sent someone to Yique Pass, and he continued to stay in Cao Cao's camp as a hostage. After receiving the reply, Liu Xiu rewarded the messenger and asked someone to give Cao Cao a message, half-jokingly saying, don't treat Guo Jia badly, if he loses weight, I'll just ask, and you must seek justice for him.

Cao Cao laughed and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, "Your king really values ​​you."

After getting Cao Cao's acquiescence, Liu Xiu started from Yique Pass again. This time, he stopped stopping and rushed to Luoyang City in just one day. He did not enter the city directly, but lived in the Tai Chi Taoist Hall in the southern suburbs. Tai Chi Taoist Hall has always been the property of the King of Chu, and was managed by An Quan and Luo. Hearing that the King of Chu was coming, An Quan and his wife had already prepared and cleaned the hall. Not only did he summon the chefs from each branch, but he also invited all the famous restaurants in Luoyang City to prepare meals for the army led by Liu Xiu. The 10,000-person military camp was adjacent to the Taixue, which caused a lot of sensation and made the people inside and outside Luoyang City feel the threat of war.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Luoyang suddenly became tense, and the murderous aura brought by Liu Xiu condensed into a long halberd with a flashing cold light, and the halberd pointed directly at the emperor in the palace. At the same time, rumors about the bizarre death of King Hui of Chu Liu Yuanqi and Empress Dowager Song were like a gust of wind, which blew all over Luoyang in a short time...
