Chapter 45: Something is Better Than Nothing

Cao Pi led the army back to Xudu, and when he entered the city, he saw the cracks on both sides of the south city gate, and the soldiers of the army all sank.

The guards of Xu Du were obviously still in shock, and all sides were like ashes.

Cao Pi led everyone back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Cao Zhi and the clansmen were already waiting in the front hall. He Yan knew that there would be a war of words and words, so he took the first step and took Sun Shangxiang to the other courtyard to settle down.

Cao Zhi and Xiahoudun sat on the top, as soon as they saw Cao Pi and others coming in, they got up to greet them, Cao Zhi was still respectful, and his crisp voice was particularly innocent, "Congratulations to Brother Zihuan on his triumphant return from the Southern Expedition to Yuan Shu, Zijian is deeply proud!" ”

Cao Pi knew very well the temperament of his younger brother, and if he hadn't been forced forward by several uncles, he would never have competed with him for power.

Cao Pi walked up to Cao Zhi and stroked his shoulder, "This southern expedition is very dangerous, I'm really afraid that I won't have my life to come back to see you and your uncles!" Between the words, Cao Pi gently glanced at Xiahoudun who was standing aside, Xiahoudun knew that Cao Pi was resentful in his heart, so he could only smile and nod.

Cao Pi sat on the spot in Xiahoudun's original position, signaling to sit on the side of the person, Xiahoudun knew that it was not interesting, and sat down silently.

Hua Wenxuan sat on one side, looking around, but there was no trace of Xun Yu, but Zhang Liao and Yu Ban were present.

Everyone drank a cup of tea with their own hearts, and Xiahou saw that he was sitting slightly embarrassed, so he got up and arched his hand and said: "Zihuan's southern expedition to Yuan Shu this time, and the pacification of Huainan is a great achievement. The clansmen also chimed in.

Cao Pi smiled and said nothing, looking at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia got up and echoed: "General Xiahou has made outstanding achievements, it is most suitable for you to play, the Son of Heaven is weak, the position of prime minister cannot be vacant, Zihuan Gongzi swept Huainan this time, quelled the rebellion in Runan, and made great achievements, the Son of Heaven has no reason to refuse the son to inherit his father's succession, right!?" ”

Xiahoudun paused slightly, but he couldn't say anything, Cao Hong got up and said: "When Meng De was here, I waited and persuaded me to be the prime minister of the bird, and I also had to do lip service with a Beacon Mountain. Right! Zijian! ”

"General Zilian is bad!" Guo Jia said with a smile, "You don't hear the ancient saying, it's easy to fight for the world, but it's difficult to rule the world!" When Prime Minister Cao Cheng was there, whenever he drank with Fengxiao, he mentioned Xu Shaozhi's comment, 'A capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor who is a traitor in troubled times'! Guo Jia stood in front of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and arched his hand, "Today, there are countless people who occupy the land for the king, and those who dominate one side are like stars, and it is a world of great contention!" Smelting troubled times, using power to scheming, out is a general, and entering is a phase, compared with Zihuan Gongzi, Fengxiao really can't find a more suitable candidate. ”

Guo Jia talked eloquently, saying that none of the clan relatives dared to come out again, so he had to stare at the weak scholar in front of him who could speak well.

Cao Pi was smug, outside the hall, a thin figure slowly came, Cao Pi hurriedly put away a smile on his face, and stood up respectfully, "Xun Lingjun is well?" ”

Xun Yu walked to the main hall and bowed deeply, "Zihuan Gongzi has worked hard all the way, Xun Yu's placement of Shangshutai clerical matters have not been far away, please forgive me!" ”

Cao Pi hurriedly came down to help Xun Yu up, "Where is Lingjun talking, when my father was alive, he fought in the south and in the north, which time was not Xun Lingjun sitting in the rear, if Lingjun was not allowed to sit in the town, it would be difficult for me to be at ease outside!" ”

Hua Wenxuan silently compared the word in his heart, in terms of acting skills, these two are really middle and master, and people who don't know why may really think that these two people are really like father and son!

Xun Yu straightened his clothes, respectfully invited Cao Pi back to his position, and stood in the middle hall with his hands down, "Recently, Xu Du has been moved by the earth, and the Son of Heaven thinks that 'the ring of heaven and earth for those who cover disasters' is caused by the loss of morality in the world and the suffering of the people, so the Son of Heaven issued an edict to close the door and blame himself, introspect himself, pray for the blessings of the people, and feel the peace of heaven and earth!" ”

The hall exploded in an instant, everyone was talking, Hua Wenxuan took a long time to figure it out, this is the emperor in order not to be forced by the Cao family, using the earthquake as an excuse to escape! In this way, the emperor and I went to retreat and cultivate, and I didn't go to the court, I didn't discuss politics, and I didn't issue any edicts or the like, such as appointing a prime minister or something, not to mention.

Hua Wenxuan looked at Cao Pi, who was sitting at the top of the head, and his face was already flushed, but he couldn't do anything.

Xun Yu looked around, and the angry atmosphere had long been expected by him. He silently took out an edict from his bosom and said slowly: "This is before the son's southern expedition, the Son of Heaven issued an edict, and the prince of Zihuan was crowned as the general of the southern expedition, leading the Yuzhou pastor, and the internal supervisor was negligent and not delivered. ”

Cao Pi was so angry that his teeth were about to be crushed, but he couldn't say a word, if Cao Cao was alive, I was afraid that he would not have flipped the table long ago, but unfortunately the current situation, even the Cao family has different political opinions, Xun Yu as the head of Hanchen, a model of celebrities, both Cao Zhi and Cao Pi want to pull for their own use, knowing that the emperor is singing a double reed with Xun Yu, deliberately not handing over the role of prime minister, but still helpless.

Guo Jia pondered for a long time, but did not get a good plan, and saw that Xun Yu was still holding the edict in his hand, standing majestically, he shook his sleeves, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Congratulations to Cao Pi Gongzi to enter the position of the general of the southern army and the pastor of Yuzhou!" ”

Everyone in the hall saw that he had raised their heads, and they also bowed down one after another, echoing the voice.

Cao Pi was already sweating both hands, slowly walked off the stage, knelt down on one knee and raised his hands, and said softly: "The minister's decree!" ”

Xun Yu didn't mind Cao Pi's neglect at all, handed over the edict in his hand to Cao Pi, pulled up Cao Pi and said: "Zihuan Gongzi is a general at a young age, and he is really a god who blesses the great man, and he will descend to eliminate the evil spirit, and Cao Gong should also be very pleased in the spirit of the sky!" ”

Cao Pi smiled bitterly and said a few perfunctory words, then glanced at Hua Wenxuan and the others, "Xun Lingjun will take a break, Zihuan will go back to the backyard to write a thank you note." ”

After that, Cao Pi led everyone back to the backyard without looking back, and on the way Hua Wenxuan asked, "Why is Gongzi in such a hurry?" ”

"He Xun Wenruo also has a holy decree in his sleeve, Feng Zijian is the edict of Yanzhou Mu, do you want to hear it?" Cao Pi didn't reply, and his tone was extremely unkind.

Everyone didn't dare to talk, and silently followed him back to the backyard hall.

As soon as Cao Pi entered the door, he didn't know what was in the way of the bronze crane and the bronze lantern, and he was kicked aside by Cao Pi.

Everyone was timid, but they didn't want to touch his moldy head, so they sat silently on both sides.

Cao Pi became more and more annoyed, lifted the bookcase in front of him, and roared loudly: "Don't say it!" What to discuss! Tomorrow! Let's rest and go! ”

Hua Wenxuan looked down at Guo Jia, who was silent, and made a grimace, Guo Jia smiled and nodded, slowly got up, and dispersed.

After a while, the will came, Shang Shutai played the son of tomorrow, and crowned the meritorious ministers of the Southern Expedition, Hua Wenxuan was awarded the position of a military captain because of Cao Pi's strong recommendation, Gan Ning was awarded the title of captain because of his military exploits, Shi Tao entered the Prime Minister's Mansion in time because of the communication, and the rest of the meritorious ministers were promoted.

Although the lieutenant of the military academy is in charge of the military position of the forbidden army, it is also an official position that Cao Cao did back then, but now he is a shell commander, because the forbidden army has long been replaced by the tiger ben and the tiger and leopard horse, the tiger and the leopard are under Xu Zhu's orders, and the tiger and leopard ride is naturally in the hands of the Xiahou family, and the forbidden army only has an empty name.

However, he is also an official, and he can also lead troops, and he just justifiably took the nearly 10,000 horses in the hands of Guan and Zhang into his own hands.

Thinking about it carefully, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but be even more happy in his heart, after all, he was just an otaku student in this world, and he was still a military attache in the Three Kingdoms, it was really a creation and a trick!

Cao Pi gave Hua Wenxuan a house, but it was the residence of Dian Wei before, Hua Wenxuan came to the courtyard gate, only to see that the plaque had been written on the word "Washington", and I couldn't help but be more happy in my heart, this location, this location, part-time is comparable to the first ring of Beijing, or a courtyard with a courtyard.

The facilities in the apartment are readily available, Dian Wei is a person who practices martial arts, the backyard is full of weapons, a pair of iron halberds are respectfully arched on an incense case, the miscellaneous servants introduced, this is the use of Dian Wei before his death, Dian Wei was stolen by Wancheng Hu Che'er when he died in battle, and Zhang Xiu was returned when he surrendered.

Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but salute respectfully, after all, Dian Wei and his people are also tiger generals worthy of respect.

Back in the front hall, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him, although he was only a military captain, but as the people of the southern expedition returned to Xudu one after another, Hua Wenxuan's thunder god deeds gradually spread in this city, plus passers-by knew that Hua Wenxuan was a red man in Cao Pi's eyes, so for many days, those who knew and didn't know were about to break the threshold of Washington.

Hua Wenxuan was not good at entertaining this kind of thing, and he was also dry in the mouth for a few days, but fortunately, Xu Shu was in front of him, he and Shi Tao were sent to him, but he helped Hua Wenxuan leave all the favors, Hua Wenxuan stopped showing his head in the next few days, and studied martial arts with Gan Ning in the backyard.

Runan Li Dian had already sent someone to find Hua Wenxuan's unique weapon, and ordered someone to send it back to Xu Du as a congratulatory gift, but this unique iron whip opened Guan Yu's eyes and made it strange.

Hua Wenxuan looked at the pitch-black weapon, but thought of Huang Yueying, who was still in Jingzhou, and didn't know if the girl was doing well, and thought that Zhuge Liang had not yet come out of the mountain, so it was time to visit again.

He Yan has been tied up by Sun Shangxiang for several days to ask about the marriage, and he has a belly full of fire, and he can come to Washington several times a day to discuss with Hua Wenxuan how to deal with Sun Shangxiang's matter, Hua Wenxuan has no good countermeasures, and he can't discuss this matter with the two resourceful Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and he is more and more at a loss. He Yan had to accompany Sun Shangxiang to play in the mountains and rivers, intending to delay, but he also forgot about Qingyu.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the middle of summer, Hua Wenxuan and Gan Ning, Xu Shu and Guan Zhang are mixed together every day, competing in martial arts, drinking and having fun, talking about things before and after, and gradually they are already mixed and mature, plus Hua Wenxuan has the intention to win over the two people, and his mouth seems to be smeared with honey, it just so happens that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been in a daze since Liu Bei's death.

It's just that Cao Pi has seen each other very little since Guan Zhang and Hua Wenxuan became acquainted, and Guan and Zhang showed a disrespectful attitude towards the Cao family in their words, but Hua Wenxuan didn't care, after all, these were two people who didn't like each other.

On this day, Hua Wenxuan and others were enjoying the cool in the backyard, and suddenly someone came from the front yard and reported: "General Cao Pigong has invited Wenxuan Gongzi to discuss important matters!"

Hua Wenxuan silently looked at Xu Shu and the others, and said in his heart: Could it be that incident?
