However, at this moment, everyone was anxious.
Xu Chu was a famous general. Cao Cao's achievements today were closely related to Xu Chu's service.
Seeing that the angry Cao Cao wanted to kill Xu Chu, who had countless medals and military exploits.
Led by Cao Pi, many wise people quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Prime Minister, please let Xu Chu off. Everyone makes mistakes. Facing such a meritorious official, we can't kill him just because he made a small mistake. How many soldiers will be disappointed if we do that?"
Cao Cao didn't care about the pleas of many people.
He still insisted on dragging Xu Chu out of the Meridian Palace.
At this moment, the palace was getting noisier and noisier.
Too many people agreed and asked Cao Cao to spare Xu Chu's life.
Facing so many ministers begging for mercy, Cao Cao's expression changed.
"Prime Minister, please listen to me."
At this moment, Xun Yu, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"General Xu Chu is sincere. Even if he made mistakes, he doesn't deserve to die. Prime Minister, please spare his life because of his military exploits."
"Yes, although Xu Chu is guilty, he doesn't deserve to die. Prime Minister, please spare his life."
Hearing Xu You's words, the pleading crowd quieted down.
Among these people, Xun Yu was the one who was most angered by Wei Emperor. They believed that the Prime Minister would think twice about Xun Yu's words.
However, the result was as everyone expected.
After Xun Yu spoke, Cao Cao didn't speak anymore.
Seeing that Cao Cao didn't speak, Xun Yu spoke again.
"Not to mention General Xu Chu's military exploits, Xu You flirted with the Prime Minister's woman in public. Xu Chu is devoted to the Prime Minister and will never let such a thing happen."
Hearing Xun Yu's words, everyone was relieved.
Because they saw that Cao Cao's face was very natural.
Although it was only a little, at least it was a good start.
Seeing that Cao Cao's face began to relax.
Xun Yu continued.
"And General Xu didn't kill him all the way. Before this, Xu Chu had hinted at Xu You with his eyes many times. But Xu You ignored Xu Chu's explanation and flirted with the dancer."
After Xun Yu's explanation, the Prime Minister's face finally showed some natural.
"Xun Yu, we defeated Yuan Shao and Zhou Xu You made a great contribution. If I kill him for flirting with my dancer, what will the world think of me?"
Cao said to Xun Yu with a serious look on his face.
"People will never think of the Lord like this. Everyone knows that Xu You is arrogant and desecrates the Lord. This man is insatiable."
Faced with Cao Cao's question, Xun Yu slowly explained after analyzing the situation.
At this moment, the ministers who were pleading for leniency were secretly celebrating.
This was because Xu Yu had successfully persuaded Cao Cao to kill Xu Chu.
This was a joyous occasion for the Great Wei.
More importantly, no one wanted to see the end of this generation's loyal general.
Just because he killed a person by mistake.
However, at this moment, Cao Cao's expression also changed imperceptibly.
"Then how do you know that the world won't think so?"
Cao Cao asked Xun Yu seriously again.
This question made the remaining Ministers and Xun Yu fall into deep thought for a long time.
Cao Pi's face was also filled with anxiety.
Everyone, who had already calmed down, became nervous once again.
If they couldn't dispel Cao Cao's doubts, Xu Chu would have only one ending.
Everyone was looking forward to Xun Yu's answer that could satisfy Cao Cao.
"I'm willing to ask a capable scholar to write an article to praise the form of image and refute Xu You."
Hearing this, the stone in the hearts of the people slowly fell.
Cao Cao also showed a slight smile on his face.
Then how are you going to invite all of these talented people to join you?
"Prime Minister Wen, you must have heard about Chen Lin's attack. This person is known as the head of all the scholars in the world. I am willing to use my silver tongue to persuade him to write a paper for you to tell the world."
At this point, Cao Cao's face finally relaxed.
"Xu Chu, you have committed an unforgivable capital crime, but in view of your previous military exploits."
"In addition, the military counselor has pleaded for mercy for you. Everyone has pleaded for you. I will spare your life for the time being."
After Cao Cao said this, the people in the palace slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Only now did Chen Xiang take back the order to kill Xu Chu.
"Xu Chu, hurry up and thank the Prime Minister."
Xu Chu knelt on the ground with a look of dissatisfaction.
Cao Pi beside him hurriedly persuaded him to thank the Prime Minister.
"This guilty general thanks the Prime Minister for sparing his life."
"Don't be complacent too early. You can be spared from death, but you can't escape punishment."
Xu Chu listened to Cao Cao's orders with a serious expression.
"From today onwards, your general position will be reduced to that of a footman. Abstain from alcohol for three months and go to the stable to feed my horses for three months."
Xu Chu thanked Cao Cao happily.
"Get lost …"
"Alright, all of you can leave. I'm a little tired and want to rest …"
After Cao Cao said this, everyone slowly left the palace.
At this time, Xun Yu had already walked to the square.
Xu Chu, who followed closely behind, stopped Xun Yu from moving forward.
"Sir, I also want you to help me plead with the Prime Minister."
Xun Yu was puzzled after hearing Xu Chu's words.
"What crime did you commit that you need me to plead for you?"
Xu Chu was a little embarrassed by Xun Yu's question.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I don't care about the position. The main thing is that this strong alcohol is a little too much. Moreover, I have to abstain from alcohol for three months. How can I stand this?"
After saying that, Xu Chu laughed out loud.
However, following Xu Chu's laughter, Xun Yu also began to laugh.
"Bah, you want me to plead for you? No way …"
After saying this, Xun Yu shook off Xu Chu's arm and walked forward.
Xu Chu felt Xun Yu's footsteps again.
"Sir, please plead for me. I, Xu Chu, owe you a favor. Is that okay?"
In the face of Xu Chu's repeated pleas, Xun Yu was very annoyed.
"I can't help you with this matter. You'd better find someone else. There are so many gods who are officials in the same court. Why do you only find me?"
Xun Yu mercilessly retorted Xu Chu. What he meant was that no matter what Xu Chu said, he would not plead for him.
"Sir, you don't know. When Young Master pleaded for me in the palace just now, the Lord was not moved at all. As soon as you spoke, the Lord withdrew his order. This is enough to show your position in the Lord's heart."
Xu Chu was full of praises for Xun Yu, but most of the time, he was telling the truth.
"Do you want to know why the Lord listens to me?"
Xu Chu shook his head to express his doubts.
