Chapter 203 All the Ambitious Ones Are Dead! Are They Planning to Drive Yuan Shu Mad?
"Your Majesty, these are the evidences of the old traitor Fu Wan's crimes. Please take a look."
Su Yu personally handed over the evidence of Fu Wan's crimes to Liu Xie.
Of course, this happened before someone was sent to deliver the evidence to Fu Shou's palace.
Liu Xie's reaction was even more intense than Fu Shou's.
The Liu Han imperial family was completely unaware that they were being manipulated by Fu Wan.
If Liu Hongquan knew this, he'd probably be turning in his grave!
"Minister Su, thank you."
"If it weren't for your leadership in investigating this matter and swiftly capturing that old scoundrel Fu Wan, I don't know how long I would have been deceived by him!"
Liu Xie was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
Thinking of Fu Wan's usual honest and simple appearance, she became even angrier.
Who would have thought that the seemingly honest and obsequious brother-in-law of the emperor was actually so filthy inside?
"Your Majesty, with your wisdom, you will sooner or later discover the true colors of that old traitor Fu Wan."
"I merely facilitated this process."
"The key reason why this matter was able to succeed is that His Majesty trusts me and dares to appoint me."
Su Yu's flattery delighted Liu Xie.
But he suddenly hesitated:
"Minister Su, with the numerous crimes committed by this old traitor Fu Wan, he deserves to be killed ten times over!"
"But what about the Empress..."
"She hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm afraid that the matter of Fu Wan might distract her."
"After all, Fu Wan is her father and her only remaining family."
Upon hearing this, a fleeting, cold smile appeared on Su Yu's lips.
Liu Xie, you're quite considerate of others!
But in reality, don't think of Liu Xie as such a good person.
He was just afraid that Fu Shou would cause a scene in the palace because of this, making him lose face.
Despite her gentle and refined demeanor, which belies her status as a lady from a prominent family, Fu Shou is not a gentlewoman.
But Su Yu knew very well what he was like in private.
The first time, Fu Shou was completely unaware that Su Yu was on the dragon bed by accident.
The second time, Fu Shou was the one who was passive in words but very active in deeds.
Although Liu Xie never shared a room with Fu Shou.
However, because of the Fu Wan incident, he probably won't dare to have too much entanglement with Fu Shou anymore.
Perhaps he had already considered deposing the empress, but was just too embarrassed to bring it up.
What Liu Xie didn't know was...
Fu Shou will soon give him another fright.
Currently, Liu Xie is facing a dilemma regarding how to deal with Fu Wan.
Su Yu suggested that he tell Fu Shou the whole story.
People have to face these things eventually.
Liu Xie hesitated and said:
"If the Empress becomes angry because of this..."
Su Yu patted his chest and said:
"Your Majesty's health is of utmost importance; you should not venture into dangerous territory."
"I will take on the dangerous task of appeasing Her Majesty the Empress!"
Liu Xie immediately grasped Su Yu's hand and said:
"Minister Su, it is truly my blessing to have you by my side to share my burdens!"
"Rest assured, my dear minister, when I am freed from this predicament, I will surely share the reins of the Han Dynasty with you!"
"His Majesty!"
"My dear!"
"His Majesty!!"
"My dear subject!!"
Su Yu and Liu Xie both put on their dramatic act, making empty promises to each other.
In reality, this is what Su Yu was thinking:
"Wait until you get out of trouble?"
"You'll never escape this trap in your next life!"
The chances of Liu Xie turning things around are extremely slim.
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't defeat Cao Cao.
Even Cao Ang is no match for him! (Blessed by the Imperial Tutor buff)
Cao Pi was the person who personally escorted him to abdication in the original history.
How could Liu Xie handle this situation?
Even if we take a step back and assume that the powerful minister wasn't Cao Cao and his son, but rather Yuan Shikai from next door...
Could Yuan Shao and Liu Xie outmaneuver each other?
Can Liu Xie control Ju Shou, the Heavenly Dragon?
At least the Cao family father and son gave Liu Xie a chance to die peacefully.
Who knows, maybe Old Yuan next door might accidentally cause Liu Xie's sudden death!
Let's say that.
During Liu Xie's reign, the phrase "the whole world was full of rebels" can be used to describe the situation.
Even if they weren't rebels, they were still ambitious people trying to take advantage of Liu Xie!
Loyal minister?
You can have anything in your dreams, so go wash up and go to sleep.
……
Fu Shou calmly accepted the letter sent by Su Yu and had no objection to Fu Wan's death.
In fact, Fu Shou wished she could personally stab Fu Wan to avenge the murder of her mother.
After Fu Wan was purged, Dong Cheng felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
He has absolutely no connection to the Fu Wan incident, so he probably won't be implicated.
But what Dong Cheng didn't expect was...
His daughter, Dong Wan, suddenly sent him some health-preserving medicine from the palace.
Dong Cheng was very pleased.
It has to be a well-behaved and sensible daughter!
After taking the health-preserving medicine, Dong Cheng suddenly fell into a coma.
When he awoke again, he found himself in a small hut with a bronze mirror in front of him. (Bronze mirrors were invented during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.)
Looking at his reflection in the bronze mirror, Dong Cheng instantly let out a sharp, explosive scream.
His appearance has changed; it's very different from before.
And the clothes he wore were changed to those worn by ordinary people.
Suddenly, the door in front of Dong Cheng was opened.
Xu Chu entered with several Tiger Guard soldiers.
"From this day forward, you will live here."
"If you have any needs regarding daily life, just tell them directly."
"This is also an arrangement your daughter made for you."
After saying this, Xu Chu turned and left, leaving behind several Tiger Guards to keep an eye on Dong Cheng.
This is a large mountain about 50 miles away from Xuchang.
Inside Xuchang, Cao Cao had already announced Dong Cheng's death.
Even Liu Xie feigned tears for Dong Cheng's death.
Out of consideration for Dong Wan, Su Yu spared Dong Cheng's life.
However, as a price, Dong Cheng's original appearance was no longer present.
Instead, a face that even Dong Cheng himself was unfamiliar with appeared.
Of course, this is not the cosmetic surgery technology of later generations.
Instead, Zhang Zhongjing used some special pharmacological methods to disguise Dong Cheng.
Only Zhang Zhongjing knew this method.
But having already been dragged onto Su Yu's pirate ship, he naturally wouldn't help Dong Cheng restore his original appearance.
Although Dong Cheng did not die, people's memory of him is forever stuck on the funeral held for him.
Dong Cheng gave a bitter smile.
After being an ambitious man for so long, I never expected that in the end, I would be betrayed by my own daughter!
From now on, he will have no chance to return to Xuchang, nor will he have any chance to participate in court struggles.
But Dong Wan was actually protecting Dong Cheng.
Even the cunning and shrewd Fu Wan has fallen. With Dong Cheng's intelligence, what can he possibly achieve if he continues to fight Cao Cao?
Admitting defeat quickly is the wise thing to do.
Why choose to be an ambitious person when there are so many other options?
Don't they know that ambitious people are doomed to failure?
And with the death of Fu Wan and the withdrawal of Dong Cheng.
The unstable factors within Xuchang City have also been eliminated.
Liu Xie, the only remaining figure, could not cause any trouble.
In recent days, Liu Xie has been immersed in new troubles.
News has come from the south that different auspicious beast sightings have appeared in Runan, Huainan, and Nanyang!
