Chapter 33: The Marquis of the Plains
In December of the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao entered the city of Jizhou. Due to Li Ming's cooperation, Cao Junbing took Jizhou without blood. As for Yuan Shang, he saw that the general trend had gone. turned his head and ran to Bingzhou, and went to his second brother...
Yuan Tan eventually relented and surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy and returned the Qingzhou seal to him in the name of the Son of Heaven. Let him continue to rule Qingzhou, so far. Most of the north belonged to Cao Cao......
Seven days after entering Jizhou, Cao Cao held a grand military parade.
In the huge military academy in Jizhou, 50,000 tall and sturdy black-armored soldiers stood neatly. The flag fluttered, and the sharp Changge shimmered in the sun. Especially their eyes, killing intent, these soldiers are veterans of a hundred battles. Their eyes were gathered together, enough to make people retreat in horror, and a cold sweat broke out.
The surrounding civilians and warriors looked at this scene, and their eyes were all shocked. Cao Cao slowly pulled out his sword and pointed to the sky. Suddenly, the drums beat loudly, and the 50,000 black-armored sergeants roared in unison.
"Roar!! Roar!! Roar!!! β
Xu Tian in the crowd looked at all this in amazement, and at this moment, he felt that the ground was trembling. The deafening roar aroused the pride in his heart. He looked at Cao Cao standing on the platform, and the words that Han Gaozu had said came to his heart.
"The husband should be like this!!"
Now most of the north belongs to Cao Cao, and the majestic scene of the military parade that day spread all over the world. For a while, Cao Cao's momentum was almost monstrous!!
On this day, Cao Cao summoned Xu Tian to the house.
When Xu Tian came to the house, Cao Cao was fiddling with the tea set. Brewing tea carefully, Xu Tian bowed his hand.
"See the Prime Minister!!"
Cao Cao didn't raise his head, and a loud voice came.
"Sit down!! Wait a minute to try my tea! β
Xu Tian slowly sat opposite Cao Cao, silent.
"This time, you have made a great contribution to the imperial court. To be honest, your guts are not ordinary. Your plan scared me out of a cold sweat at the beginning, but now it seems that I am still not as good as you! Well!! β
Cao Cao handed Xu Tian a cup of tea. Seeing Xu Tianluo take a sip, he smiled and said:
"How?!"
"Good tea, good tea!"
"Hehe, then this tea will be given to you. You haven't seen the Son of Heaven yet, wait until you return to Xuchang. I will take you to meet the Son of Heaven and reward you with a marquis!! β
Cao Cao laughed, and Xu Tian lowered his head from beginning to end, silently tasting tea. Xu Tian didn't know why, every time he saw Cao Cao, he would feel a lot of pressure. And every time it gets stronger than the last...
The Wang family was a famous Dashi clan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was trusted by the emperor and served as the third prince for two generations. The protΓ©gΓ© is all over the world, and his influence is self-evident. Wang Ling, the head of the Wang family, is an official. After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to Xudu, his family followed him to Xudu. It can be described as loyal. When Cao Cao captured Jizhou and the news of Yuan Tan's surrender came, Wang Ling locked himself in his room and built a spiritual platform. Cry. Sigh at God's injustice!!
Soon, Cao Cao returned to the dynasty with great fanfare. Asked all the civil and military forces of Xu Du to go to the city gate to greet them, and the momentum was huge...
At the south gate of the capital, the honor guard is neatly arranged. A cadre of civil and military officers came to the south gate early to wait, and soon the dust was flying in the distance. A large number of iron horsemen rushed in order, one of them in front, and shouted loudly as they approached:
"The prime minister will be here soon, ready to meet !!"
The honor guard sang and music, and everyone looked more respectfully into the distance. Cao Cao sat on top of the big horse pulled by four tall horses, and took the lead slowly towards the south gate, looking at everything in front of him, he was very satisfied. His gaze slowly swept between the crowd at will, and suddenly paused.
"Why didn't Wang Sikong come today!!"
A man in the crowd who looked like a general in armor took two steps forward, bent down and bowed:
"Prime Minister, my father is unwell. Recuperate at home. That's why I couldn't come to greet the prime minister, so please forgive the prime minister!! β
"Sick?! Then you have to recuperate quickly, I'll let the imperial doctor go back, Wang Sikong is a pillar of the country, General Wang, you have to take care of your father, huh?!! β
"The last general thanked the prime minister for his father!!"
A cold light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he didn't look at the general surnamed Wang again, and went directly into the city...
Xu Tian returned to his room, which was cleaned every day, and it was also very clean. It was just a little deserted, and Xu Tian was very excited at this time. Now that he has returned to Xu Du, he can see Murong Hanyan, who has worried him for a long time. Thinking about it, he reached out and took out the sachet again, smelling the fragrance from the sachet. Xu Tian closed his eyes with a smile...
He thought about it, after meeting the emperor. Immediately return to Zhang's Mansion and propose to Zhang Quan to marry Murong Hanyan!!
Two days later, Cao Cao sent someone to deliver a set of dresses. Said that the next day, let him meet the emperor. Xu Tian took the dress and looked at it, looking at himself in the bronze mirror a little strangely. Maybe the people around him have become accustomed to it, and Xu Tiandu has forgotten that his hair is not the same as the people around him. Although I have been in this era for more than a year, I want to be the same as the people around me. It's not enough, in this way, Eguan Bo belt, he can't do it. Xu Tian didn't care too much, maybe other people would be the same as the people in the barracks, they would regard themselves as barbarians, and they would get used to it...
In the early morning of the second day, Xu Tian's followers came and led his chamberlain to the front of the palace hall. Told by the chamberlain to wait here, Xu Tian suppressed the idea of wanting to go and see everywhere. Stand there with your head bowed...
Soon someone shouted in front of the main hall:
"Xuan, the military advisor sacrifices wine to Xu Tian, and meets His Majesty!!"
Xu Tian's body was shocked, and he immediately raised his feet and walked inside. At this moment, an attendant quickly came and knelt in front of Xu Tian's feet. whispered:
"Please take off your shoes!!"
Xu Tian was stunned, and he didn't embarrass him. I took off my shoes and was about to lift my feet.
"Please take off your socks!!"
"And take off your socks?! What do you mean?!! β
"Please take off your socks!"
Xu Tian was a little annoyed and looked at the waiter lying on his stomach. With a secret sigh, he walked into the hall barefoot...
As soon as Xu Tian entered the main hall, everyone's eyes were cast instantly, and there was an uproar. Everyone was talking about something, and Xu Tian's eyes were attracted by the emperor sitting on the dragon chair. This person is wearing a dragon robe and sits on a dragon chair. The jewel on the top hat hung straight down, making his face loom in the background. It seems to be a little weak, but it also exudes a sense of majesty.
Xu Tian walked straight forward, his eyes sweeping over the emperor and Cao Cao, who was sitting on the side. Just then, a voice with anger came.
"Bold!! Where did you come from something that doesn't understand the rules, to meet Your Majesty. Dare to be untidy, seeing that Your Majesty is unyielding, didn't your master teach you the rules of being a man?! β
This person said, his gaze casually swept over Cao Cao.
"Wang Sikong, although this person is out of manners. But this time to pacify the north, this person has made a great contribution. His Majesty was anxious to reward him, and showed the people of the world that the court's rewards and punishments were clear. So I haven't had time to learn the etiquette yet, right, Your Majesty!! β
Cao Cao looked at the emperor with a smile.
"What the prime minister said is that Wang Aiqing doesn't need to be angry. Xu Aiqing has made a contribution this time and should be rewarded. named Xu Aiqing as the Marquis of the Plains and sealed thousands of households. What does the prime minister think?! β
Cao Cao did not speak, but looked at Wang Ling. Wang Ling snorted coldly and stopped talking...
There was a sudden silence in the main hall, and everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. The emperor also looked at Cao Cao in horror, and Cao Cao stood up. Towards Wang Ling.
"Is Wang Sikong feeling better?! If you are not in good health, you should recuperate and don't get angry!! β
Cao Cao laughed, and left the hall with a flick of his sleeves. The hall was still quiet...
