Cao Cao holds the emperor hostage? He’s holding the ancestors of the Han dynasty hostage!
I transmigrated as Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie. From the start, I tossed the secret edict sewn into my sash straight into the brazier.
The loyal ministers in the hall were ready to get themselves killed as a group.
“Kill Cao Cao?”
“Who do you think you are?”
Cao Cao thought I was afraid.
Then, at court the next day, I said, “This is Yuan Shao’s scheme to sow discord in Xuchang,” and stopped Cao Cao from using his blade to purge the loyal ministers.
At that very moment, the ancestral shrine of the Han dynasty awakened.
Liu Bang called me poor. Liu Xiu taught me patience. Emperor Wu of Han wanted to train troops every day, while the Emperors Wen and Jing kept asking me about grain and money.
Cao Cao wants to hold the emperor hostage and command the warlords?
Sorry.
I’ll hold the ancestors hostage instead, along with the mandate and the tide of the world.
In this life, I won’t be the ruler who loses his kingdom.
I will restore the Han dynasty for a third time.
The angle is still very interesting. I've seen a few of Liu Xie's works, but this is the first time I've seen a linkage with Liu Bang. It's quite fun.
