Two days later.
Bai Feng and the other Ministers followed Cao Cao to the outside of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace still looked magnificent, but it felt like something was missing.
Emperor Xian of Han had been reduced to a puppet and had no real power.
There were only a few palace maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Palace to serve Emperor Xian of Han.
The entire Imperial Palace seemed lifeless.
Just as Bai Feng was looking around the Imperial Palace.
Two extremely pale people suddenly appeared in front of Bai Feng.
Bai Feng took a closer look.
These two people were none other than Xun Yu and Xun You!
It had been a long time since Bai Feng had seen the two of them.
He remembered that the two of them had invited him to their residence to ask if the Prime Minister was still a minister of Han.
That was more than a month ago.
Now, the two of them looked lifeless. Their faces were pale, and they were limping as they walked.
They did not look like they were in the prime of their lives. They looked like they were in their twilight years.
"These two are here too?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
Bai Feng knew very well what Cao Cao wanted to do this time.
Originally, Bai Feng thought that after this matter, the Xun uncle and nephew would not live for long.
However, Bai Feng did not expect that the two of them would come to the Imperial Court!
Bai Feng had asked about it before.
At that time, Cao Cao had said that the two of them had not come to the Imperial Court for more than a month.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
How could the two of them not know what Boss Cao wanted this time?
Based on history and his previous contact with the two of them.
The two of them definitely did not have the same ideals as Cao Cao.
Could it be that the two of them came here to support the Han Dynasty?
Now that Cao Cao had decided to proclaim himself the Emperor, doing so would be courting death.
Thinking of this, Bai Feng shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Life and death were fated, riches and honor were up to the heavens. He could not decide the fate of these two people.
… …
Soon, the Ministers gathered in the magnificent Imperial Court.
At this time, Cao Cao was not only the Prime Minister, but he was also a Noble. It could be said that he was like a King standing in the Imperial Court.
Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, leaned weakly on the Dragon Throne.
Bai Feng and Cao's Ministers stood at the bottom. He could not see Emperor Xian of Han's expression.
But Bai Feng could guess that Emperor Xian of Han knew what was going to happen....
At this moment, a figure suddenly stood out from the crowd and said loudly, "You're right.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
This person was Cheng Yu!
When Liu Xie heard this, he weakly raised his hand, indicating for Cheng Yu to continue.
After all, Liu Xie didn't have any power to stop Cheng Yu.
. Cheng Yu continued.
"The Prime Minister has worked hard to pacify the north, taking back the Han Kingdom from the hands of those traitors.
"This subject advises that Your Majesty should proclaim the Prime Minister as King, second only to one and above all, and help the Han Kingdom rule the four directions!"
The moment these words came out, the entire Imperial Court fell into an uproar!
Following which, the other Han Ministers hurriedly stood up and said, "Cheng Yu is correct.
Your Majesty, the Prime Minister should be proclaiming the Prime Minister as King! "
"The Prime Minister has worked hard for the Han Kingdom, so he should be King!"
"We hope that Your Majesty will allow it!"
"…"
Bai Feng felt as if his ears were about to grow calluses.
Obviously, these people wanted to pledge their allegiance to Cao Cao. When they saw Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's strategists, coming out to advise them, they immediately swayed to Cao Cao's side like fence-sitters.
Moreover, these people were very smart.
If Cao Cao wanted to proclaim himself King, no one would be able to stop him!
He had military authority and officials.
At this moment, Cao Cao's strength had already reached a level that the other vassals could not hope to reach.
Seeing all the Han Ministers in the hall calling for Cao Cao to proclaim himself King, Liu Xie sighed.
Liu Xie didn't even dare to sigh. He just stared at the angry officials below him.
Proclaim himself King?
If Cao Cao wants to proclaim himself King, is there any point in me not agreeing?
Aren't these people forcing me to do so?
Thinking about his life, Liu Xie smiled bitterly, unable to say a single word.
"Lord Cheng, are you trying to harm the Prime Minister?"
"Since ancient times, those with different surnames proclaim themselves Kings, and everyone in the world has the right to punish them!"
"Are you trying to consign the Prime Minister to eternal damnation and become the target of public criticism?!"
Xun Yu, who was still coughing, slowly walked forward. His voice wasn't loud, but it immediately silenced everyone present.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xun Yu.
At this moment, Xun Yu was still coughing, and his hair was white, as if he had one foot in the grave.
But when he said those words, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in a month ago.
Following Xun Yu was Xun You.
Xun You's condition didn't look much better than Xun Yu's, and he also looked weak.
"Lord Cheng, you can't say that!"
"You Ministers live and die as Han Ministers, but now you're urging the Prime Minister to proclaim himself King!"
"Do you have the face to meet your ancestors?!"
At this point, Xun You suddenly coughed violently.
Both of them were so anxious that they probably hadn't had a good rest or a good meal for a month.
Bai Feng shook his head helplessly, turned around, and continued to look at Cao Cao.
Although Bai Feng knew that this would be the outcome, he still couldn't bear to continue watching.
"Lord Xun!"
Cheng Yu sighed, turned around, and walked to Liu Xie's side.
"The ancient teachings are true, but we have to take the essence and get rid of the dross. Right now, the Prime Minister has already won the hearts of the people."
"My advice this time is also for the sake of the Great Han Dynasty!"
At this moment, Liu Xie, who had been silent all this time, coughed softly and turned to look at Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister Cao, what do you think?"
Liu Xie didn't dare to express his opinion.
It wasn't his turn to express his opinion.
How could he not agree?
What would the consequences be if he didn't agree?
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to become a puppet Emperor and would be mercilessly killed by Cao Cao!
It wasn't impossible!
Thinking of Dong Zhuo from the past and Cao Cao now, Liu Xie felt that his life had been terrible.
"This subject will listen to Your Majesty's decision."
Cao Cao didn't express his opinion at all. In the blink of an eye, he turned the topic back to Liu Xie.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was trying to force Liu Xie to submit.
If Cao Cao said that he didn't want to become the Emperor, then he wouldn't be able to do it.
However, if Cao Cao said that he wanted to become the Emperor, then Liu Xie said that he wanted to become the Emperor.
Boss Cao was indeed scheming.
"Hahahahaha."
Below, Xun Yu and Xun You let out miserable laughter.
Looking at the fearful subjects below, Xun Yu said coldly.
"You are worthless subjects of the Han Dynasty! Your salaries are in vain!"
