Chapter 219: Entering the Knighthood
Seeing that Liu Xie was silent, Cao Pi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Bohe, this time you have to help me no matter what, think about the guards around you now, although they are a little annoying, have they always done their best for you?" This is all my command, if you lose the errand of the school office...... No one knows what your guards will be replaced with. ”
Saying that, Cao Pi sighed: "Also, I won't let you help in vain, I know you hate the school affairs people in the palace, this time as long as you are willing to help, I will pull those people out!" And what do you think of this place? It's boring to stay in the palace all day, right? I can do this for you! ”
Cao Pi's conditions cannot be said to be unattractive, but in line with the basic bottom line of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, Liu Xie did not agree to him easily, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly realized a problem.
Even if he helped Cao Pi to save the errand, but now Cao Cao is in Xuchang, and the actual power of the school office is in his hands, how can Cao Pi be qualified to withdraw those people in the palace?
Wrong!
There's a scam here!
Liu Xie immediately became careful: "Zihuan, what you said is reasonable, but this is all your family matter, and I am not an outsider to interfere." ”
"It's not for you to meddle in my family's affairs, I want you to help me say good things in front of my father, just say how I am in the school office, or you want me to be in the school office, in short, let my father not dismiss me!"
It seems that Cao Pi is really anxious, and his eyes are round.
His performance like this made Liu Xie doubt his judgment: "Zihuan, you are still embarrassed, the appointment and dismissal of court officials are in the hands of Da Sikong and Xun Lingjun." You should go to Xun Lingjun for help. ”
"Xun Yu will never care about this kind of thing!"
Speaking of this, Cao Pi gritted his teeth and slapped the table loudly: "Bohe, I know you have doubts in your heart, am I lying to you." But I've got it all to say, and if you still don't believe me, I don't have anything to say, and I don't blame you for not wanting to help! ”
He's in such a hurry!
Liu Xie took a deep breath and determined this, and after thinking about it for a while, he found another way to solve the matter: "Zihuan, there are some things I really can't do. But ......"
"But what?!"
Often as soon as he said this, it meant that things were slowing down, Cao Pi's eyes were shining when he heard it, and he looked at him directly, full of anticipation.
"But after all, the two of us are also brothers, and you have said it, if I shirk it again, I won't be able to open it. But ahead of the curve, I can't guarantee that I'll actually save you! ”
"Just help me say something!"
Liu Xie nodded, took a deep breath, and became solemn: "Zihuan, your family affairs, I still can't interfere with that sentence, as for the errand of the school office, I don't dare to give you any guarantee, you know better than me who has the final say in these matters, but I can give you a thorough word from the side, after all, I still have the power to be knighted by the imperial court." ”
"Knighted?"
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, very puzzled: "What kind of knight?" Who are you going to knight? ”
"Of course it's Ziwei!"
In fact, Liu Xie's method is a bit of a cage and ashes, because according to the historical advancement, in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, that is, in June next year, Cao Cao will abolish the three-public system and call himself the prime minister, and Liu Xie will not doubt that there will be any changes in this point.
So it is better for him to push the boat down the river and give him a convenience, even though the two things seem to be unrelated, Liu Xie believes that Cao Cao will be able to feel his heart.
Moreover, when Cao Xiong was alive, he originally had no title, and his first title was given after Cao Pi and Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, called "Xiao Huaigong".
Of course, he definitely can't give a nameless and powerless person the title of "duke", if others don't say it, Cao Pi will definitely be the first to make trouble, he is the eldest brother of several brothers, and even he hasn't reached that level.
Sure enough, before Liu Xie could continue, Cao Pi's face became even more ugly, and he frowned and stared at him: "Bohe, do you want to give Ziwei a knight?" What title are you going to give him? ”
"En......" pretended to muttered to Liu Xie: "Twenty-second class title, I don't think it's better to pick one out of it?"
"He doesn't have any fame or military exploits."
"But Zihuan, if I knight Ziwei, I believe that Da Sikong will no longer embarrass you, isn't that good?"
"......" Cao Pi didn't speak, fiddling with the wine glass in his hand and pondering, to this day, he doesn't have a decent title, if even Cao Xiong is knighted, then if he goes out in the future, will others look down on him even more?
Besides, Cao Xiong took a punch from himself, but he got a knighthood, and this deal is not a loss!
Hesitating, Cao Pi asked, "I don't know what title Bohe wants to give Ziwei?" ”
"It's not good if it's too low, it's not good if it's too high, after all, he's your younger brother, and besides, as you said, he doesn't have merit on him, I think it's ......"
Speaking of this, Liu Xie paused deliberately: "Why don't you just give a Zuo chief?" ”
"Zuo Shuchang?"
Cao Pi groaned slightly and couldn't help shaking his head: "Isn't it too high?" ”
"Not high."
Liu Xie smiled, you kid is still thinking about these things at this time, and I don't blame Cao Cao for cleaning you up! The iron rooster is not as good as you, this title was given by Lao Tzu, and it didn't take money out of your pocket, as for it?
It's just a false name, does it blindfold you?
muttered in his heart, and explained with a smile on his face: "Zihuan, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, besides, aren't you here to protect yourself?" A left chief, only ranked tenth among the twenty-two knights, it's nothing, it's just that the imperial court gives him some money every year, do you think about it? ”
“…… Okay. ”
Cao Pi took a deep breath and finally nodded: "Bohe, no matter what." I thank you for this success or not! I promised you a lot of things, and tomorrow I will send someone to send you the title deed of this shop. ”
"Well, you don't have to. Let's wait until it's done afterwards. ”
Speaking of which, of course, the banquet was over, and the two of them sat silently for a while, and Liu Xie took Qin Li and the others back like this. But he didn't know it when he left. Cao Pi, who had always been sad, suddenly showed a weird smile!
Cao Fu!
Late at night, Cao Cao had not rested, he was sitting in the study, looking at the relevant information sent to him by secret agencies in various places, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
In front of him is also placed a sand table, on which the official topography map of Jingxiang, Guangyang and other places is formed.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door of the study, Cao Cao took a deep breath, and he didn't raise his eyelids: "Come in." ”
"Yes."
The door opened, and I saw Cao Pi in a plain robe coming from outside......
