Chapter 619: Cao Cao's reaction
Chang'an City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Originally, there was no official position of prime minister in the official system of the Han Dynasty, and the central government was governed by the system of three princes and nine secretaries, and the local system was a system of one state assassin, one county taishou, and one county order. After Cao Cao hijacked Liu Xie, in order to be able to handle the government legitimately, he restarted the prime minister system, and Cao Cao himself sat in the position of prime minister, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were all divided into the prime minister's mansion.
In today's Chang'an City, everyone knows that it is not so much the imperial court that is handling government affairs, but the Prime Minister's Office that is handling government affairs. However, I also have to say that Cao Cao's ability is worthy of being called "the traitor of the troubled times, the capable minister of the prosperous times", under his auspices, now Cao Cao's control of Yanzhou, Sili, Liangzhou and Hanzhong is a thriving scene, better than before.
At this moment, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao was holding a book and reading it with relish.
Since Huang Yi improved papermaking under the guidance of Yuan Yao, a large amount of fine paper began to circulate in the world, and Cao Cao, as one of the strongest princes in the world, also liked this portable text carrier.
And at this time, a young man with a somewhat pale face walked into Cao Cao's study, and when Cao Cao sensed that someone had entered, his face showed displeasure, he generally didn't like to be disturbed when he was reading, and the people under him knew about it, how could anyone break into his study at this time, didn't he want to live?
However, when Cao Cao raised his head and saw the face of the person who entered his study, the anger also dissipated instantly.
"Bonghyo, what's wrong, what's the matter?"
The person who broke into Cao Cao's study was Cao Cao's important ministers Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. Originally, Cao Cao's first strategist was Xi Zhicai, and later Xi Zhicai died of illness, but when he was working for Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai also recommended many talents for Cao Cao, and Guo Jia was one of them.
Soon after Guo Jia was put under Cao Cao's command, Cao Cao put Guo Jia in charge of the intelligence organization in his hands to reconnoiter the movements of various parts of the world, and now Guo Jia rashly broke into his study, which must be something important. Otherwise, with Cao Cao's understanding of Guo Jia, Guo Jia would not have done such an act.
"My lord, there is news from the palace."
"In the palace?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said, "Is it Your Majesty?" ”
Cao Cao doesn't have much ambition now, he is bent on thinking of himself as a Hanchen, no matter what Liu Xie thinks of him, Cao Cao regards himself as a Hanchen, even if Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others under his command are trying to push Cao Cao to another path, but now, Cao Cao's heart is still very firm, and he still thinks that he is a Hanchen.
"According to the news, today, the Sword Saint King Yue has returned." Guo Jiasu stood in front of Cao Cao and said respectfully.
Hearing the word "Wang Yue" coming out of Guo Jia's mouth, Cao Cao is eyes flashed with a hint of essence, as a person with a strong desire to control, Cao Cao naturally hopes to hold everything in his hands, including Liu Xie, the son of heaven. Although there are many people around Liu Xie, Cao Cao is not afraid of Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, even if it is Duan Jue who has been hidden, but this Wang Yue is what worries Cao Cao the most.
Yanshan Sword Saint Wang Yue has stepped into the Xuan Transformation Realm a long time ago, and no one knows how strong his strength is, because Wang Yue has rarely made a move after becoming famous, such as many strong people today, I am afraid that the only one who has fought with Wang Yue is the Divine Spear Pavilion Master Tong Yuan.
Now there are not many cultivators under Cao Cao who have reached the Xuan Transformation Realm, one Dian Wei, one Yue Xi, and the rest are still a little far from the Xuan Transformation Realm. And Dian Wei and Yue Xi's moves are good at battlefield battles, while Wang Yue is proficient in ranger fighting skills, on the battlefield, Cao Cao is not afraid of Wang Yue, but in other places, Wang Yue's threat is much stronger than Dian Wei and Yue Xi.
"And then?"
Cao Cao naturally knew that Wang Yue had been guarding Liu Xie's side, but fortunately, Liu Xie didn't seem to be able to mobilize Wang Yue, so although Cao Cao was very jealous of Wang Yue, he was not so worried. However, looking at Guo Jia's meaning today, this Wang Yue's return this time is probably a little unusual.
Guo Jia took a piece of cloth at this time and handed it to Cao Cao, when Cao Cao's eyes fell on the cloth, Guo Jia also said: "According to the news of our secret son, Na Fuwan, Dong Cheng, Chongji, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo and others are not in their respective mansions now, and after investigation, they found that these people have entered the palace." ”
"Is there something you are plotting?" Cao Cao also frowned a little when he heard this, and asked.
And Guo Jia also had a puzzled look on his face at this time, and said: "I don't know, now our people can't find traces of Your Majesty and these people in the palace, the old eunuch next to Your Majesty still has some ability, and we are not easy to place people in the palace, so ······"
Cao Cao tapped his fingers on the table at this time and said, "So we can't find any trace of His Majesty now?" ”
Guo Jia nodded, his face was also a little unsightly, and said, "That's right." ”
Guo Jia also felt a little ashamed at this time, he was in charge of the intelligence organization under Cao Cao, this supervision of the Son of Heaven Liu Xie should have been his task, and it was a task that had to be completed, but now he had lost the trace of Liu Xie, and he couldn't help but make Guo Jia feel troubled, and specially came to find Cao Cao.
And when Cao Cao was thinking about how to deal with this matter, there was a sudden commotion outside the study, and then Na Dian Wei's voice sounded: "Lord, Xun Junshi, Cheng Junshi and others are here." ”
"Gongda and Chungdeok?" There are two people from the Xun family under Cao Cao, one is Xun Yu and the other is Xun Yu. However, on Cao Cao's side, Xun Yu is generally called Xun Lingjun and Xun You is Xun Junshi, so Cao Cao knew that the Xun Junshi in Dian Wei's mouth was Xun You, and as for the Cheng Junshi, it was naturally Cheng Yu.
"Let them in!"
Cao Cao spoke up at this time, and in Cao Cao's heart, there were also doubts, what is the situation today, why are so many people coming to him, Cao Cao instinctively feels that something big will happen today, but he doesn't know what will happen for a while.
And after Na Xun You and Cheng Yu entered the study, they also saluted Cao Cao.
After the ceremony, Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, Zhongde, is there something wrong?" ”
Xun You and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and finally Xun You stepped forward and said: "Lord, there was an accident in the direction of Xianyang, an hour ago, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared outside Xianyang City, giving people the feeling that it was an entrance to the secret realm. ”
