Chapter 391: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
"Well, get up!"
Cao Cao raised his hands and helped up a group of wives and concubines and children, and said: "You are frightened, this time the Guandu battle, fortunately, Ping'er made a surprise attack and meritorious service, so that there is no danger." ”
"Yes, Ping'er has made such a great achievement, and the husband should reward him well," Madame Ding said in accordance with Cao Cao's words.
"That's nature, he is now my arm, my Cao's unicorn, how can I treat him badly?"
Cao Cao pinched his beard and glanced at Liu Ping and said with a smile: "I am ready to ask the imperial court for ten thousand households to eat for him, so that he and his wife and their descendants can be rich." ”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's other daughters, Cao Xian and Cao Hua couldn't help but show envious expressions to Cao Jie next to them.
There is at least one county of land in the 10,000 households, although it was given to Liu Ping, but isn't Cao Jie the hostess there?
The couple has so much food, enough to keep their life and future generations rich, what an enviable thing?
Cao Jie lowered his head, and Yu Guang saw the envious eyes of everyone around him, and his heart was overjoyed.
What girl marries a wishful husband and doesn't want to show off to the world?
If it weren't for the presence of so many people, she would have wanted to jump into the arms of her future husband immediately.
In the end, Cao Cao held a family banquet in the inner house, and naturally regarded Liu Ping as the protagonist, which was another lively scene, so there is no need to elaborate.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial court made Cao Cao the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Driven by the Prime Minister's Mansion, the entire Xu Capital was lit up for several days to celebrate, as if welcoming a grand festival.
However, the people fell into a carnival, but when it came to the upper echelons, there was an undercurrent surging among the ministers and doctors.
The imperial court named Cao Cao as prime minister, but he did not enter the duke as he wished, and added nine tin.
So Hua Xin, Wang Lang and other courtiers who had clearly defected to the Cao family began to secretly connect with Cao Cao after Cao Cao's private instructions, preparing to jointly attack the Son of Heaven again to force the palace.
In fact, it is not difficult for them to find like-minded people, there are only a few hard bones who are loyal to the Han family, aside from them, who of the rest of the people will not judge the situation?
Therefore, Wang Langhuaxin quickly contacted a large number of people and discussed strategies for advance and retreat in the Prime Minister's Mansion every day.
They don't have to avoid anyone now, Cao Cao, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, should report things to the prime minister as courtiers.
Liu Ping did not get involved in these things, and many people wanted him to take the lead, but he also refused.
After all, this is already a matter of course, just need to find an excuse, this is still used by him, so what's the use of asking Huaxin Wang Lang to contact so many people?
Besides, what he did on the battlefield of Guandu some time ago was too high-profile, and he urgently needed to cool down.
So he closed his door every day, enjoyed the singing and dancing in the house, teased and teased the little girl, and showed that he didn't care about the world.
In fact, this is the life he wants to live.
can be so well-dressed and well-fed every day, with no ears to hear things outside the window, and so many obedient beauties and little girls surrounding and serving, who wants to face the cold battlefield and the treacherous court?
Anyway, the main goal of the Cao clan in the next step is to seize the four northern states, and without him Liu Ping, Cao Cao can also take it.
The only regret is that Guo Jia died during the expedition to Wuhuan, which was a great loss for the Cao family.
In order to make up for this regret, he needs to find a way to save Guo Jia......
……
Since Liu Ping was unwilling to make a move, Hua Xin, Wang Lang and others no longer insisted on it.
In fact, Cao Cao's opinion is the same as Liu Ping's, if even this little thing has to be solved by Liu Ping, then Hua Xin's gang is really useless.
Hua Xin and others also realized this, so they worked hard.
However, they had to do this morally justifiably, and they could not leave it to the world to make trouble and persecute the emperor's tongue.
This is like preparing a debate in the future, those loyal ministers of the Han family will definitely oppose it, and they will also quote the scriptures to fight back.
I heard that Xun Yue, Kong Rong and others have also gathered in private recently, and they are probably preparing to debate with them in the court.
On this day, they discussed in the public house of the Prime Minister's Mansion, preparing to attack the emperor and the old ministers loyal to the Han family in the court the next day.
Suddenly, someone outside shouted loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, Cao Cao has accepted the decree!" ”
Everyone immediately stopped discussing and looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor's sudden decree was at this time.
At this time, Cao Cao came out of a small door next to him.
Just discussing this kind of thing, it is inconvenient for Cao Cao to be present, otherwise it would be too unreserved.
However, Cao Cao had to know how they discussed, so he sat in a nearby room and listened.
At this time, the holy decree came, and Cao Cao pretended to have just arrived, waved his hand at the ministers, and signaled everyone not to speak.
Then he dressed himself and went out, bowed to the yellow door official and said, "Minister, Cao Cao, take the order!" ”
The Huangmen official unfolded the holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Prime Minister Cao Cao, inherit the teachings of the saints, uphold the virtue of perseverance, dry and dry at night, burn the ointment and follow the sundial, and have made great contributions to the community.
Chin this! ”
When this holy decree was read out, Cao Cao was stunned.
Just now, Huaxin Wang Lang's gang was still discussing countermeasures, how to force the emperor to the palace tomorrow, but they never expected that the emperor had taken the lead in compromising and gave him the name of Duke Wei and added Jiuxi.
In addition, there are three more privileges: "not entering the court, praising and worshipping the nameless, and going to the temple with a sword".
How could the emperor suddenly become so happy?
"Prime Minister Cao? Prime Minister Cao? Please take the order," the Huangmen official called Cao Cao twice in succession, and then said: "That Jiuxi is also brought by order, please welcome the prime minister." ”
The nine tin refers to the nine kinds of ritual utensils such as clothes, Zhu Hu, Na Ma, chariot and horse, music rule, bow and arrow, etc., which is the highest courtesy of the emperor to the princes, ministers and other special honors.
"Minister, Cao Cao, thank you for Your Majesty Longen!" Cao Cao immediately thanked him.
But the ministers in the public house have a feeling of punching the air.
They originally thought that after their own incorruptible tongue and fierce arguments, they would refute a group of foolish and loyal Han ministers into speechlessness, and then seek Duke Jiuxi for Cao Cao, so as to show their ability and loyalty.
But I didn't expect that the emperor would be so spineless, and before they could make a move, he had already compromised first.
So what use do you need from them?
Outside the door, the Huangmen official said enthusiastically while handing over the so-called "Jiuxi" to Cao Cao: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Cao, congratulations to Prime Minister Cao, your mansion is really a double happiness!" ”
"What is the meaning of double happiness?" Cao Cao couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
The large list of privileges he gave, entering the Duke of Wei, including Jia Jiuxi, is all for him personally, how can it only be regarded as a happy event, how can there be double happiness?
