Liu Xie suppressed his anger as he looked at Cao Cao and Ma Teng working together. However, there was nothing he could do. The two of them discussed and quickly decided on a few titles. Did they still have him, the Emperor of Han, in their eyes?
However, Liu Xie could only endure the situation.
"Duke Wei, this is the imperial court. Let's talk about the past in His Highness!" Liu Xie roared in a low voice.
After being reminded by Liu Xie, Cao Cao reacted. Although this place was his, Cao Cao's, word was law. However, he still needed to consider the little puppet's opinion.
"General Ma Teng, you can leave for now!" Cao Cao waved his hand at Ma Teng.
"Yes, this subject will leave!" Ma Teng retreated and stood in the position of the nine ministers. Everyone also gave up the position of the guard and congratulated Ma Teng. Ma Teng also didn't put on airs and returned the greetings.
Cao Cao turned around and continued to speak to Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, the second matter is a big one!"
"Oh?" Liu Xie wanted to hear what Cao Cao had to say. It actually made Cao Mengde's eyes focus.
"This subject is talking about the matter of the Great Han Dynasty. It is related to the prosperity of the Great Han Dynasty!" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie.
"Haha!" Liu Xie sneered in his heart. The Great Han Dynasty was now his Liu family's empire. What did the prosperity of the Great Han Dynasty have to do with him, Liu Xie?
"The person this subject is talking about is the thief of the Han Dynasty. If this thief is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the world!" Cao Cao walked to the center of the imperial court. This place was left behind when the palace was designed. The ancients didn't have loudspeakers, so they could only shout with their voices.
The palace was a loudspeaker. Relying on the echo of the building, Cao Cao's voice could be heard everywhere in the hall.
"Therefore, this subject, for the sake of the Great Han Dynasty, for the sake of the Great Han Dynasty, for the sake of the common people, this subject must send out troops!" Cao Cao said to the people in the hall.
Liu Xie sneered in his heart. "Thief? The biggest traitor and rebel in the world is Cao Cao! " As for the trick in front of him, Liu Xie had seen it many times. Every time, Cao Cao wanted to crusade against someone.
As expected, Cao's voice sounded.. "This subject, this subject wants to crusade against the rebels! Cao Cao cupped his fists and said to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie didn't want to see Cao Cao's old face anymore. He waved his hand at Cao Cao.
However, Cao Cao didn't give up. "Your Majesty, this subject is not qualified to crusade against the rebels!" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie.
"Not qualified? Haha, is there anyone in the world that our Duke Wei doesn't have the qualifications to crusade against? "Liu Xie said sarcastically.
However, Cao Cao didn't care. If this little puppet didn't have a temper, that would be what worried Cao Cao. A person who could endure things that the world couldn't endure would definitely be able to achieve things that the world couldn't. "Your Majesty, please issue a decree!"
"What decree do you want me to issue?"
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to reduce my rank!" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie.
"Reduce my rank?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment. He had never experienced this before.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This rebel's rank is too high. He is also a member of the Han dynasty's imperial family. Without Your Majesty's decree, this person will use the prestige of the Great Han Dynasty to do something that will anger the heavens and the people! Therefore, this subject needs Your Majesty's decree to expose this person's true face and let the world know that this person has ulterior motives! "Cao Cao said righteously.
"Han dynasty's imperial family?" Liu Xie seemed to have some ideas.
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to remove the Yangzhou rebel's fake King Liu Mang's rank. Then send troops to Yangzhou to capture the fake King and stabilize the Great Han dynasty. This will be the second time the Han dynasty has been glorious!" Cao Cao said to Liu Xie.
"Impossible!" Liu Xie directly slapped the table and jumped up. Yangzhou's King Of Shu, Liu Mang? This was one of the few people that he, Liu Xie, wanted to save him from the sea of bitterness. If he was dealt with by Lao Cao.
Then he, Liu Xie, was prepared to stay in Xu Du like an obedient baby and wait for the Cao Family to reveal their true intentions. Even if he, Liu Xie, was able to survive, it would be an extravagant hope.
Liu Xie had already lost all hope for Liu Xie. This person, in order to curry favor with Cao Cao, made Cao Cao send troops and even told Cao Cao about his secret. This caused him to lose a lot of his loyal followers.
Now that Cao Cao wanted to attack Liu Mang, Liu Xie was the first to stand up and oppose.
Cao Cao did not pay any attention to Liu Xie. He did not even need to make a hand gesture, and the Cao Family's henchmen behind him immediately knelt down. "We implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to reduce the nobility and suppress the traitors! Restore the Great Han Dynasty! "In the main hall, other than Liu Xie who was sitting on the main seat, no one else was standing.
"You, all of you!" Liu Xie stretched out his hand and pointed at the group of Yan Province's civil and military officials. He gnashed his teeth and was speechless.
Liu Xie really wanted to ask them whether they were the civil and military officials of the Great Han Dynasty or Cao Cao's civil and military officials. Even his father-in-law was kneeling down.
Liu Xie staggered back to the main seat.
He, Liu Xie, was firm this time. He, Liu Xie, absolutely did not agree. Now that there was Yangzhou's King Of Shu, Liu Mang, this huge threat, this Cao Cao had some misgivings towards him. If the King Of Shu, Liu Mang's Yangzhou was also finished, then no one in the world could stop Cao Cao.
"Haha, Your Majesty, there is no need to be so excited. This Yangzhou traitor, we will help Your Majesty suppress him. Your Majesty only needs to stay in Xu Du and wait for our report of victory!" Cao Cao stood up from the ground.
There was no need to get the Han Emperor's consent.
"Traitor Cao!" Liu Xie's eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Your Majesty, is your hand numb? If so, then this old minister will issue this edict to him on your behalf! " Cao Cao smiled as he looked at Liu Xie. After saying that, he took out a red satin from his sleeve.
The cloth was densely packed with words. The Great Han Dynasty's achievements were fire virtue, so his edicts were also made of red silk cloth.
Liu Xie glanced at it. This was really a rebellion. It detailed dozens of crimes of Yangzhou's King Of Shu, Liu Mang, followed by the reduction of his title, and then a crusade against the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
Liu Xie was not willing to sign, so he directly hid the seal in his bosom.
However, Cao Cao had a way.
With a wave of his hand, two Imperial Guards immediately came forward. The Imperial Guards were originally from the Han Dynasty's Emperor Wu. They were the elite troops used by the Han Dynasty's Emperor Wu to conquer the Xiongnu. At the same time, they were also the Emperor's personal troops used to protect him.
However, the Emperor's personal troops did not belong to Liu Xie, and they actually wanted to make a move against him.
"What are you doing?" Liu Xie's eyes widened. "I am the Han Dynasty's Emperor, your Majesty. What are you doing! If you dare to touch me, I will exterminate your entire family! "
However, these two Imperial Guards did not care about Liu Xie's threat.
Liu Xie's words could be ignored, but if they did not listen to Cao Cao, they would really be exterminated by Cao Cao!
Soon, Liu Xie was lifted up. A Imperial Guard stepped forward and searched Liu Xie's bosom. He quickly found a seal and handed it over to Cao Cao. "Wei Gong!" “
"En!" Cao Cao nodded his head. He picked up the seal, got some ink paste and pressed it onto the seal. An imperial edict was done.
"Thief Cao, you traitor, you will die a horrible death. You will not have a good ending!" Liu Xie shouted at Cao Cao who was on the other side.
Cao Cao's face also became gloomy. "Your Majesty, you drank too much! Come, help Your Majesty to rest! "
"I will not leave, I will not leave, traitor, traitor!" Liu Xie shouted loudly, but he was still carried away by a few Imperial Guards.
Several civil officials wanted to move, but they were all stopped by one person, and that was our Mr. Xun Yu.
Xun Yu had followed Cao Cao for a long time and naturally knew Cao Cao's temper. At this time, rushing forward would only lead to death. The current Cao Cao was no longer the previous Yan Province Governor, but a giant that could affect several provinces. He was no longer as cautious as before. If there were people who offended him, even if there was no reason, he would kill them with a blade. Not to mention rushing forward to seek death.
Xun Yu's actions did not escape Cao Cao's eyes. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. He, Cao Cao, was not careless. He was deliberately rough just now to make these loyal officials of the Han dynasty jump out.
This was because Cao Cao also knew that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang of Yangzhou, was not so easy to deal with. Cao Cao held the Emperor and commanded the nobles. It was useful to some small nobles, but it was useless to deal with a giant.
For example, although Cao Cao had the Emperor in his hands, Yuan Shao did not acknowledge it. Moreover, Yuan Shao had the Great General's seal, so it was not certain who was the legitimate one.
Therefore, this was destined to be a great battle. Perhaps one of the two behemoths was bound to fall. Cao Cao didn't think that it would be him, but it was better to be prepared. He didn't want to be hindered by a few flea-like characters behind him. Even if they couldn't bring him any harm, at least they wouldn't be annoyed. Cao Cao didn't think so.
Cao Cao wanted these flea-like characters to come out this time. After all, they were all afraid of death and the entire Xudu became quiet.
However, it was obvious that Cao Cao had failed. There was someone on the other side who stopped him.
If it was someone else, Cao Cao would have directly dragged them down and beheaded them. However, this person, Cao Cao, had a complicated feeling.
This person was our Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo.
This person was Cao Cao's earliest supporter. He was also the person that Cao Cao relied on the most. Back then, Xun Family's uncle and nephew were Cao Cao's most stable backing. Cao Cao consulted Xun Yu on all matters, big or small. Cao Cao even said that Xun Yu was Cao Cao's Zhang Liang. Guo Jia's acting talent was Chen Qun. These people were all introduced to Cao Cao by Xun Yu.
Such an evaluation was enough to see Xun Yu's position in Cao Cao's heart.
However, Xun Yu's recent actions caused Cao Cao's expression to become complicated.
The simplest thing was that Cao Cao wanted to become a Duke and be bestowed with the title of Jiuxi (Jiuxi was the nine rewards given by ancient emperors to their ministers. It included carriages, horses, clothes, musical instruments, warriors, bows and arrows, etc. This was the highest courtesy to the ministers). Xun Yu thought, "(Cao Gong) originally wanted to raise the army to pacify the country, to uphold loyalty and sincerity, to defend the principle of retreat; a gentleman loves his wife with virtue, it is inappropriate for him to do so."
Even so, Cao Cao did not blame Xun Yu.
However, once a person developed a dislike for another person, then no matter what that person did, it would be infinitely magnified. This time, Xun Yu was just being kind. He did not want Cao Cao to kill more people. However, Cao Cao did not think so. This was because the people that Xun Yu stopped were the small bugs that Cao Cao wanted to get rid of. This inevitably made Cao Cao think too much. Was this Xun Yu also loyal to the Han Emperor, Liu Xie?
On the other side, Xun You saw Cao Cao's gaze and became anxious. Uncle, uncle, why are you so muddle-headed?
The current Cao Cao was no longer the Cao Cao of the past. In the past, Cao Cao needed the Xun brothers and relied on them for everything. But now, Cao Cao had countless civil and military officials around him. Even Guo Jia, the man who was known as the brain of Cao Cao, did not see much of Cao Cao's power after he left. This showed that Cao Cao's power had already taken shape. This was already a huge war machine. In the past, the machine was small and could not do without a part. But now, if one part was missing, there were many spare parts.
If it was in the past, Cao Cao would at most reprimand Xun Yu, but now …
Xun You saw that Cao Cao only gave Xun Yu a deep look and did not take any action. This made Xun You even more worried. The calm before the storm was the most terrifying.
Xun You gritted his teeth and stepped forward to speak to Cao Cao. "Wei Gong!" “
"Gong Da?" Cao Cao looked at Xun You in confusion. "What's the matter?"
"Wei Gong, although the four provinces of Hebei have been stabilized, the affairs in Liaodong are still chaotic. Xun You wanted to recommend someone to take charge of the situation in Liaodong!" Xun You said to Cao Cao.
"Oh?" Cao Cao was also interested. Although Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops from Liaodong, Cao Cao was still very concerned about the situation in Liaodong. After all, Liaodong was connected to the Great Wall. Liaodong was even connected to Yangzhou's war horses.
If they take down Liaodong, then Yangzhou's war horse business will be greatly reduced. Yangzhou's Bing Province Wolf Cavalry, Xi Liang Cavalry, and White Horse Consort Yi's heavy cavalry unit do not need a large number of war horses.
Cao Cao could not help but want to have a decisive battle. That was why he pulled back his troops from Liaodong. However, if there was someone to help him solve the problem in Liaodong, he would be very happy.
"This person is Xun You's uncle, Guanglu Dafu Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo!"
