The next day, Emperor Xian of Han ascended to court. Cao Cao played Xuande's military exploits and led Xuande to see the emperor, who wore court clothes and paid homage to the emperor on the stone steps in front of the palace. The emperor announced that Liu Bei had entered the palace and asked Liu Bei who his ancestor was?
Liu Bei said: The minister is the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, the grandson of Liu Xiong, and the son of Liu Hong.
When the emperor heard this, it turned out that he was still a royal relative, so he hurriedly asked him to bring the clan genealogy to check. Eighteen rounds were lined up, and it turned out to be the emperor's uncle. Suddenly, there was such a powerful imperial uncle, Emperor Xian was secretly happy in his heart, the court is now Cao Cao's final say, he, the emperor, is too sloppy, with this imperial uncle, there will be someone to help him.
Xun Yu and other strategists were worried that Liu Bei posed a threat to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao didn't think so. Cao Cao is not afraid of Liu Bei now, if he was afraid and as shrewd as him, he would not have introduced Liu Bei into Xu Du. Even if Liu Bei became an imperial uncle, he was still under his control.
Cao Cao is now concerned about another minister in the court, Taiwei Yang Biao, Yang Biao is a relative of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, if he is an undercover agent for the Yuan brothers, he will be the biggest threat to Cao Cao. So, Cao Cao secretly sent someone to falsely accuse Yang Biao of marrying Yuan Shu, and then put Yang Biao in prison and ordered Yang Biao to be punished by full favor.
Cao Cao's arbitrariness caused dissatisfaction among the ministers, and Beihai was too guarded by Kong Rong, and he was the first to stand up and speak for Yang Biao: "Yang Gong IV Qingde, how can he be convicted because of the affairs of the Yuan family?" Cao Cao said that this is what the imperial court meant. Kong Rong said, "If King Cheng kills Zhaogong, can Duke Zhou know what to say?" "It means, if King Cheng kills Zhaogong, can the regent Zhou Gong say that he doesn't know?
Kong Rong was reasonable, Cao Cao had no choice but to stop the strict investigation, but he still removed Yang Biao from his official position and returned him to the field.
For Yang Biao, from ** to ordinary people, it is always a frustration in life. But this life variable has nothing to do with his personality, and it has nothing to do with his hard work. If you want to say the cause, you can only use one word: "predestined." ”
It's just that everything in the world is two-sided, and a person who has seen through the wind and waves and returns to the peaceful life of the common people may not be another harvest in life. At least, from now on, he no longer has to be frightened in the court's deceit, and he can grow old safely. And the people in the court continued to fight for power day after day, without stopping.
