Chapter 418: Isn't it just right?
The return of the Son of Heaven is known to the world. However, among the Kwantung princes, few people took this matter to heart.
Youzhou Gongsun Zan was busy fighting for territory with Liu Yu's subordinates, and Liu Xuan and Sun Ce, the assassins of Yangzhou, were fighting happily. Liu Biao of Jingzhou recruited scribes, lectured and preached to promote benevolence. Xuzhou Tao Qian was seriously ill, Yuan Shu seemed to have some plans of his own, and Yuan Shao was busy exterminating the black mountain thieves who did not obey orders in his own territory.
So much so that the Son of Heaven returned to Luoyang, but no one greeted him.
There was a ceremony early this morning, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, and in front of him sat a group of advisers and subordinate officials. Cao Cao's face was cautious, although he had already made some decisions of his own, but this matter really could not be decided lightly.
Guo Jia sat under a seat on Cao Cao's right hand, with a little smile on his face, what was going to be discussed this time, he already had some guesses in his heart.
But it hasn't started yet, and he hasn't talked much, this is his first time participating in the discussion, so it's better to listen more.
It's just that Wen Ruo hasn't come yet, Guo Jia has looked left and right, but he hasn't seen Xun yet.
This is different from Xun in his impression, Xun wants to abide by the time, and every time he makes an appointment to travel, he will arrive in advance. I didn't expect him to arrive this time, but Xun hasn't arrived yet.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Xun has arrived." The waiter outside the door walked into the hall and said to Cao Cao.
Hearing Mr. Gu's three words, Guo Jia's body stiffened unconsciously.
Cao Cao smiled lightly and waved his hand: "Let them in." ”
Mr. Gu always pressed the time to come, originally she was the only one, but now it is good, and it has brought Mr. Xun badly.
Xun walked into the door helplessly, he had already gone out, but he met Gu Nan on the road, but he was pulled by Gu Nan to have breakfast before coming over.
Simply, it can be regarded as arriving on time, so as not to be late.
Kong Rong, who was already sitting in his seat, saw the two of them and nodded slightly with a smile, the three of them can be regarded as old friends.
Xun and Gu Nan met Cao Cao and each walked to their seats and sat down.
Gu Nan looked at the seat opposite, and happened to see a familiar face, and she only later learned that this person who was playing hooligan in her house was Guo Jia.
made a joke like proposing marriage to her face, but fortunately she was not an ordinary woman's mind, otherwise he would have been beaten out of the door.
Guo Jia lowered his head to avoid Gu Nan's gaze, and almost buried his head on the table. When Gu Nan looked away, he slowly raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
These were all seen by Cao Cao, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Fengxiao doesn't know what's wrong, usually nothing, but every time he says that Mr. Gu is coming, he always hides and goes, and it's rare to see the two meet today, he still looks like a mouse sees a cat.
shook his head, thinking to himself that if there was any misunderstanding between the two, he would be a middleman to help the two make peace.
After the tea time, the morning meeting officially began.
Cao Cao coughed lightly and said.
"A few days ago, I heard that the Son of Heaven had returned to the east, and he had already traveled to Anyi at this time, I don't know what you think."
As soon as the words fell, the hall began to discuss softly, and a few people in the middle stood up to put forward their opinions, some who wanted to welcome the Son of Heaven, and some who were worried.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia looked at Xun who was sitting opposite him with a smile. He knew that the man couldn't sit still about it.
As a result, he accidentally saw Gu Nan again, shrunk his neck, and looked away stupidly.
He thought that he and this person should be incompatible, otherwise he wouldn't have a headache when he saw it.
But when I thought of the people I saw that day, I couldn't help but have a complicated mind for a while.
In vain, he thinks he is wise, but he can't figure out his own thoughts.
That's it, Guo Jia sighed in his heart, thinking that he was ashamed, and it should be good the next time he has the opportunity to come to the door to apologize.
In the midst of the discussion, Xun finally stood up and bowed to Cao Cao.
"General."
"Huh?" Cao Cao saw Xun get up, and asked with a smile: "Wen Ruo, what do you want to say?" ”
"King Xiwen accepted King Xiang of Zhou, and the princes obeyed, and Han Gaozu mourned for Emperor Yi and the world returned to his heart. Today, the son is covered with dust, and the general Cheng is the first to advocate volunteers at this time, and the Son of Heaven is expected by the public. ”
Xun's voice was not heavy, but it was bright and clear, and everyone had to hear it clearly.
The hall was silent.
Cao Cao sat at the table and laughed.
"Hahaha, good!"
He actually had some of this plan, but he was short of a reason enough to convince him, and now Xun gave it to him.
He pressed one hand on the table, stood up, and looked out of the hall.
"Then, welcome the Son of Heaven in the west."
The morning meeting ended, everyone left, but Gu Nan was still sitting in the hall.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Cao Cao saw that Gu Nan hadn't left yet, he was stunned at first, and then smiled.
"Mr. Gu has something to say?"
Gu Nan got up and saluted, paused and said, "General, the gains and losses of the Son of Heaven, have you thought about it?" ”
"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Gu Nan and asked with a smile, "Sir, can you talk and listen?" ”
"The Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and the general welcomes the Son of Heaven, which can indeed be expected by everyone."
In other words, when Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, he could indeed use the edict of the Son of Heaven to order the princes. So as to expand the impact and benefit in all aspects. But with Cao Cao's current strength, Feng Tianzi actually can't bring decisive help, after all, now that the world is divided, most of the princes only obey the Son of Heaven in name, and can't really command the world. On the contrary, there will be many constraints because of this, which is why Yuan Shao hesitated.
"But if the general's trip is wrong, I am afraid that he will be infamous in the world." Gu Nan continued.
At the time of the Three Kingdoms, there were also those who claimed to be emperors and kings, why was Cao Cao the only one called a traitor? I think there is only this reason, to welcome the Son of Heaven, that is, to accept Hanchen. Since he has become a Hanchen, once what he has done goes beyond the scope of Hanchen, he will naturally be a traitor to the Son of Heaven.
At that time, he was saddled with the name of a traitor, and the princes had an excuse to crusade against him.
Cao Cao left the table with a faint smile and walked to Gu Nan's side.
"Sir, in this world, the king is not the king, the minister is not the minister. The Son of Heaven has fallen so far, and no one has welcomed him. If I Cao Cao doesn't go, I'm afraid that even the Han family will not exist. ”
"When the tiger prison is closed, I go to chase it alone. Now, wouldn't it be right for me to go alone to greet me? ”
He turned his back and turned his head sideways to smile at Gu Nan.
"As for infamy, why the hell are you afraid of infamy?"
"That's it." Cao Cao turned around, stood in front of Gu Nan and asked, "What does Mr. think?" ”
Gu Nan lowered his head, half a sound, and smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, you should welcome the Son of Heaven." 2k reading network
