Chapter 354: Contest
Emperor Han Xian stared at Cao Cao with burning eyes,
The expression on his face, though he tried his best to remain calm,
But the corners of his mouth kept twitching,
The left hand hidden in the sleeve is clenched into a fist,
The knuckles are completely white,
Even the nails pierced into the palms of the hands without knowing it,
The anger in my heart began to burn,
It was really helpless for him to retreat again and again,
Originally, although Cao Cao was strong,
But on the surface, he was still able to maintain respect for him,
But now, he actually proposed the appointment of Zongzheng in person,
This has touched the bottom line of Emperor Han Xian.
took a few deep breaths,
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was finally ready to compromise,
In his heart, he scolded angrily:
"Dog thief, let you be arrogant, see how long you can be arrogant!"
Just as I was about to speak,
Cao Cao suddenly knelt down in the tunnel:
"Your Majesty's sins deserve death, and he even said that he was a righteous candidate, and asked His Majesty to atone for his sins!"
Emperor Han Xian's eyes narrowed,
The twitching of the corners of his mouth calmed down,
But there was a chill in my heart,
Cao Cao, an old treacherous and cunning thief,
Is this playing with me?
Emperor Han Xian was so angry that he didn't say a word,
Looking at Cao Cao's kneeling back,
There was a haze in his eyes.
Took a deep breath,
said to the eunuch next to him:
"Li Ting."
How have the eunuchs ever seen such a battle,
Emperor Han Xian's scheming is deep, he knows,
But I didn't expect that in just three words,
The emperor who has never shown his true feelings,
was provoked by Cao Cao to stir up the real fire,
Looking at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground,
I've seen it a few times before,
Whether it is from the mouth of the emperor and the empress,
Or in the mouths of the other people in the palace,
I've heard a lot of rumors about him,
But every time we met in the past,
Cao Cao didn't look much different from ordinary courtiers,
In front of Emperor Han Xian, he also behaved very politely,
However, this time the behavior,
Li Ting lowered his head,
A trace of fear arose in my heart,
This Cao Cao seems to be even more terrifying than the crossing.
Hearing the call of the Emperor,
The eunuch quickly came back to his senses,
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minions are here!"
Emperor Han Xian's meeting also stopped his anger,
Lightly:
"Go and prepare the draft."
"Whoa!"
The eunuch hurriedly turned around and ran out,
This run, only to suddenly realize,
The clothes inside were soaked.
Emperor Han Xian looked at Cao Cao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said:
"Aiqing, let's be even, I won't blame me for this, Aiqing is also too tired for the country, I naturally know very well."
"Your Majesty is magnanimous."
Cao Cao slowly stood up,
He bowed again and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister has retired."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty walked forward half a step:
"I'm sending Sikong."
Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, don't, it's time to torture the minister."
Emperor Han Xian was just polite,
After hearing this,
Standing in place, he waved his hand to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao turned to leave,
The warm smile on Emperor Han Xian's face gradually condensed,
His gaze also became cold,
Cao Cao's face was also serious,
But after two steps,
And it was back to normal.
At the entrance of the garden,
Xu Chu stood with his hands crossed,
Seeing Cao Cao walk out,
He quickly followed.
There is not a single person on either side of the imperial road in the palace,
Cao Cao saw the disdain on Xu Chu's face just now,
He whispered:
"Tiger idiot, but not happy? Are you still angry with His Majesty the Emperor? β
If those great Confucians are here,
Hearing Cao Cao's words,
will definitely point at Cao Cao's nose and scold the rebellious ministers and thieves,
This kind of ridicule of the emperor's words,
That is, Cao Cao, who has no taboos, dares to get out.
But except for Cao Cao,
There is only Xu Chu, a tiger idiot who is loyal to Cao Cao,
Naturally, such arrogant words will not be spread.
Xu Chu snorted contemptuously with his nose and said:
"Your Majesty the Emperor, it's just a milky hairy child, that is, the lord you have a good temper and give him such a big face. Do you look like an emperor at night, when we came over just now, those two guys were probably prostituting themselves during the day, and they were really shameless. β
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Cao Cao's mouth,
Shaking his head, he said softly:
"Our emperor is not simple."
Xu Chu scratched his head when he heard this,
He really doesn't understand,
That kid seems to be a weak and incompetent softie,
If it weren't for fate,
Reborn in the house of the emperor,
With his stature and cowardly character,
In this troubled world,
I'm afraid that I have been eaten so long ago that there are no bones left.
Such a person,
was able to get such an evaluation from Cao Cao's mouth,
It seems that even Cao Cao's eldest son,
Cao Ang, who was praised by everyone,
It seems that he has never received a word of praise from Cao Cao.
But Xu Chu is Xu Chu,
For things that can't figure it out,
He never bothered to worry about it,
Since Cao Cao is like this,
So be it.
Cao Cao squinted and glanced at Xu Chu,
Uneasily, he said lightly:
"In the future, I should be as polite as possible to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Oh, I see, my lord."
"Let's go, go back to the house and drink two cups, Xiu brought two jars of Qiongyu liquid two days ago."
Hearing that there is good wine to drink,
Xu Chu's eyes immediately widened,
A silly smile appeared on his face.
ββ¦β¦ Today, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande of Zhuo County are the generals of Fenwei, and the marquis of Guan Nei. Chin thisββ! β
"Minister, Liu Bei, thank you Lord Longen!"
Liu Bei respectfully kowtowed,
Only then did he slowly stand up,
He stretched out his arm and took the decree from the hand of the envoy.
The messenger saw Liu Bei's one-armed appearance,
A trace of disgust and ridicule crossed his eyes,
The great Han pays attention to the majesty of the courtiers,
Like such a one-armed general,
Or the first time it appeared,
The so-called messenger is the messenger who proclaims the decree on behalf of the son,
From the capital, how high is that vision,
Although Liu Bei was crowned a general,
But it's just a miscellaneous general,
The marquis is only the lowest marquis of Guannai,
Nowadays,
There are as many generals as dogs, and marquis walks everywhere,
It's just this kind of dirt bun that has never seen the world,
It's rare.
Liu Bei himself saw the look in the eunuch's eyes,
But he didn't seem to realize it,
With one hand holding up the Divine Decree,
Bowing down and whispering:
"Hard work! It is better to coil for a few days, so that the preparation is also a good landlord's friendship. β
The eunuch, who was not very old, drooped his eyelids,
To the general in front of him, he reluctantly spoke:
"Congratulations to Liu Fenwei, the hospitality will be waived. The miscellaneous family still has to go south to announce the decree, so they don't bother Liu Fenwei to break the bank. β
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty's affairs are important, and Liu Bei is abrupt."
Liu Bei led the way in front,
He asked in a low voice:
"I wonder who else has been sealed this time?"
glanced at Sima Fu outside the door,
The latter hurriedly walked over,
False support,
Stuffed a heavy bag through,
Then he said with a smile:
"Slow down, adults."
made a stop,
Secretly weigh the weight of the bag in your hand,
The cold expression couldn't help but become a little warmer,
The eunuch spoke in a shrill voice:
"Wenhou Lu Bu is now a general of the Che Cavalry, His Majesty also gave him the title of 800 households, Ma Teng as the pastor of Liangzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou as the hussar general, and Sun Jian of Jiangdong is now also worshiped as a former general, Xuande Gong, you will not disappear, and the imperial uncle Liu Jingsheng, now promoted to Dahonglu, that's all."
The weight of the bag in my hand is at least a few dozen taels,
And that feel should be a golden cake undoubtedly,
There is such a windfall,
It's just some news that isn't secret,
The eunuch was very satisfied with the deal.
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth showed a smug smile,
Standing respectfully at the gate,
Wait until the chariot is gone,
During the period, he also waved his hand twice,
Then he turned around and entered the house,
Sima Fu followed closely behind Liu Bei.
After entering the study,
Chen Zhi gently closed the door and guarded the door.
Liu Bei casually threw the bright yellow silk on the table,
As if it weren't a holy decree,
It's just a piece of waste paper,
Gently asked:
"Shuda, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Sima Fu said loudly:
"This method is just Cao Mengde's wisdom of picking up people's teeth."
"Oh?"
Liu Bei sat down slowly on the seat,
One hand plays with Yu Ruyi.
Sima Fu then replied:
"In the past, when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Li Ru once resorted to a plan to divide the princes from all over the country to serve as his landlords, so as to provoke chaos."
"Oh, but at that time, after all, the land was divided, but Cao Apu only sealed some generals and ministers this time."
Liu Bei frowned,
Asked suspiciously.
Sima Fu smiled and said:
At that time, it was chaotic and the situation in various places was still unclear, so Li Ru's use of this strategy could work wonders. However, now that the dust has settled on most of the places where they belong, if they are completely repeated, not only will they not play any role, but they will laugh and be generous. Therefore, Cao Cao only promoted everyone to the official rank, so that all the princes could be justified. β
But what good is that? It's just a slight increase in reputation. β
Sima Fu continued to smile and said:
"This is enough, Jiangdong Sun Jian is now busy grabbing territory everywhere, Cao Cao gave him a former general, and his troops will be famous, so that he can justifiably pull the banner to fight around, and naturally he can't help Yuan Shu; Liu Biao was promoted to Da Honglu, although it was only a civil service, but it was ranked in Jiuqing, although in fact it was far less real than Jingzhou Mulai, but Liu Biao has always liked fame, this Da Honglu was already responsible for the affairs of the princes and vassal states, and for the official Zheng and Liu Biao of the praise of Xiang Lile, and as a member of the Han family, he got such an official position, and he repaid the peach, and he couldn't just shout and not work hard to treat Yuan Shu no matter what; The most important thing is that Lu Bu and Yuan Shao Errao added the seal, a chariot general, a hussar general, Lu Bu may not pay too much attention to these false names, and it may be better than nothing, but Hebei Yuan Shao wants to get the position of general, especially after Cao Cao added the title of Sikong, he regarded himself as a general, Cao Cao put it in front of Lu Bu, and it was only one step away from the general, plus Yuan Shao and Lu Bu already had a grudge, so in this case. Lord, do you think Yuan Shao can still sit still? β
Liu Bei smiled when he heard this,
In an instant, I also reacted,
laughed and scolded:
"Everyone in the world is cunning and cunning, and now it seems that I am not deceiving."
Then he asked again:
"Then why did you give me the position of General Fenwei."
After a pause, he answered the question on his own,
It's just that there is self-deprecation and a hint of anger in the tone,
"Hmph, if you want to give me such a miscellaneous name, it's more useful to disgust that guy Lu Fengxian. This Cao Agui, hum. β
Seeing that Liu Bei had already thought of the meaning,
Sima Fu closed his mouth,
A burst of relief in my heart,
If this word comes out of his mouth,
I'm afraid that I will be angered by Liu Bei.
Throw Yu Ruyi to the side of the table,
Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked:
"How's the contact with the Wa Kingdom?"
Sima Fu hurriedly bent down and replied:
"Back to the lord, I have already contacted the hand-powered man, General Yan Xing has already sent the first batch of goods some time ago, and he will return in a few days, and he has not done anything over there."
Liu Bei nodded,
The brow frowned slightly,
He asked:
"Make sure there's nothing wrong with it."
raised his eyes and looked at Liu Bei, who was a little frightened,
Sima Fu sneered in his heart,
Do you want to set up a chastity archway?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
But he replied respectfully:
"My lord, please rest assured, how dare you make the same mistake again, we will confirm it repeatedly, and we will act only if there is no problem."
"Well, that's for the best."
Liu Bei nodded,
"What is the reaction of all parties on the Xuzhou side?"
Hearing this question,
The faint smile on the corner of Sima Fu's mouth couldn't help but retract,
With a wry smile, he said:
"The Xuzhou Shi clan is quite xenophobic, and there are not many people who have good intentions for the arrival of the lord. Especially the leader of the Xuzhou Shi clan, Chen Qi and his son of the Chen clan in Xuzhou, their attitude is very ambiguous, and there is no clear statement so far, the Xuzhou Shi clan is almost all based on their horse heads, they have never expressed their position, and the other Shi clan will naturally not have any statement. Even if Mr. Xianhe tried his best to speak, it only made those people less resistant to our army. β
Liu Bei rubbed his brows,
Wen Yan persuaded:
"That's to be expected, and you don't need to be too impatient. Get up, all this is given by Bai Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, all these humiliations suffered today, in the future, I Liu Bei will pay back all the more! β
Speaking of this sea of blood feud,
Liu Bei's eyes were red,
There seemed to be a faint pain in the wound on his right arm,
Take a few deep breaths,
After a little calm,
Liu Bei spoke again:
"Tao Gongzu's side, I use more force, let's not hope that the status quo can be changed in a short time."
Sima Fu smiled and nodded:
"Fortunately, Tao Gong attaches great importance to the lord, and with the efforts of the Mi family, the Qu County of Donghai County will be handed over to the lord to manage, at least so that our army can have a chance to breathe."
After a pause, Sima Fu spoke again:
"If the lord wants to take the whole of Xuzhou into his hands as soon as possible, it is not impossible."
