Cao Cao and Xun Yu were talking about Liu Bei, and Xu Chu walked in.

He bowed and said to Cao Cao, "Gong Cao, Your Majesty has sent someone." ”

Looking at Xun Yu, Cao Cao asked, "Wen Ruo thinks that His Majesty sent someone over, what is the matter?" ”

"I feel that the matter of Cao Gong becoming king has an eyebrow." Xun Yu got up and bowed to Cao Cao: "Congratulations to Cao Gong!" ”

"I don't know if it's or not, why did you congratulate you?" Cao Cao smiled and pressed his hands and instructed Xu Chu: "Invite the messenger." ”

Since the capture of Yecheng, Cao Cao moved his family here, while Liu Xie was left behind in Xudu.

Cheng Yu and others wrote to ask Liu Xie to crown Cao Cao as king.

As a puppet emperor, Liu Xie certainly didn't dare to shirk.

The edict came late, and it was only because Liu Xie was in Xudu, and Cao Cao was in Yecheng.

After Xu Chu retreated, it didn't take long for him to lead a regular attendant in.

Cao Cao sat there and didn't get up.

On the contrary, the attendant bowed to him: "I have seen Cao Gong." ”

"Your Majesty asked you to come, is there anything important?" Cao Cao asked the attendant in a very flat tone.

"Congratulations to Gong Cao." Chang Shi replied: "Your Majesty asked me to come to read out the edict of enshrined Duke Cao as the king of Wei. ”

"Where is the edict?" Hearing that he was indeed crowned the king of Wei, Cao Cao asked the Chang attendant.

took out the edict, and the Chang Shi was about to unfold it, Xu Chu walked up to him from the side and took it from his hand.

Holding the edict in both hands and handing it to Cao Cao, Xu Chu retreated to stand beside the permanent attendant.

Unfolding the edict and reading it, Cao Cao smiled slightly and handed it to Xun Yu: "Your Majesty has enshrined me as the King of Wei, and the capital is Yecheng, and you can set up official positions such as prime minister." In my opinion, the post of prime minister belongs to you. ”

After receiving the edict, Xun Yu read it and said to Cao Cao: "Congratulations to Duke Cao for being crowned King of Wei, but Duke Cao is called the king......"

"You were congratulating me just now, what will happen?" Hearing some other meanings from Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao frowned, and his tone became not very good.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think that Duke Cao is already a supreme minister, is the title of King of Wei suspended...... Xun Yu said.

"I've always regarded Wen Ruo as a sibling." Without waiting for Xun Yu to speak, Cao Cao stood up angrily and said to him: "I fought for the south and north of the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for me, Your Majesty would not know where to be buried today." Liu Xuande still dares to dream of sealing Zen, what can I do if I am the king of Wei? ”

Cao Cao was furious, and Xun Yu hurriedly said, "I don't mean to object to Cao Gong......"

"I know you don't." Cao Cao said with an angry face: "Since you are unwilling to be my prime minister, you will not do your best for me if you stay in Yecheng." If you go to Xudu, it will be overkill, so let's go to Shouchun first and live there for a few days in Zirong. ”

Xun Yu still wanted to argue, but Cao Cao waved his hand.

Xu Chu stepped forward and said to him: "Xun Gong, it's better not to collide with Cao Gong, I'll send you back." ”

Knowing that Cao Cao couldn't listen to what he said, Xun Yu had no choice but to retreat and leave.

When he went out, Xu Chu whispered to him: "Xun Gong just collided with Cao Gong, I think it is better to go to Shouchun first according to Cao Gong's wishes." ”

"Childe is in Youzhou, what can I do when I go to Shouchun?" Xun Yu sighed and said.

"It's not that Gongzi won't return to Shouchun, Xun Gong doesn't have to worry." Xu Chu said: "Later, I will arrange for someone to send Xun Gong on the road." ”

Looking at Xu Chu, Xun Yu sighed.

He said to Xu Chu: "I have known Cao Gong for many years, how can I not know his thoughts? The Han family is declining, Cao Gong is trying his best to turn the tide, who in the world is not convinced? Now that His Majesty has crowned him King of Wei, I am afraid that what I will get is not glory, but disaster! ”

"Xun Gong is too worried." Xu Chu said: "The Cao family has won most of the world, and now there is no opponent for a long time. What's more, the eldest son has many generals and generals, and his strength is no less than that of Cao Gong, so who else in the world can treat Cao Gong as well? ”

"There may be some truth in what General Xu said." Xun Yu nodded, arched his hand to Xu Chu and said, "The general is by Cao Gong's side, so I have to persuade him, but don't fall into the thief's mouth." ”

"Xun Gong rest assured." Xu Chu said: "I will definitely say what I should say." ”

Xu Chu sent Xun Yu away, but Cao Cao was still full of resentment.

The attendant standing in the room lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

Turning his head and seeing that he was still in the house, Cao Cao said coldly: "The envoy has worked hard, please go down and rest, I will send the envoy out of the city early tomorrow morning and report to Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao was angry, how dare the attendants stay longer.

Hearing this, he retreated as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly left Cao Cao's study.

After going out, the waiter let out a long sigh.

Xun Yu was driven out of Yecheng by Cao Cao and escorted to Shouchun by a team of guards sent by Xu Chu.

When he arrived in Shouchun, Cao Shuo was still in Youzhou and did not come back.

It was Sima Yi who received Xun Yu.

Seeing Xun Yu from a distance outside the city gate, Sima Yi stepped forward and asked: "I heard that Xun Gong is coming, we are all very surprised, I don't know what is important about going to Shouchun this time?" ”

"I don't have anything to do." Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I was just kicked out by Cao Gong." ”

"Xun Gong laughed." Thinking that Xun Yu was joking, Sima Yi said: "Xun Gong and Cao Gong have known each other for many years and have long been old friends, and it is impossible for him to drive Xun Gong away if he drives him out." ”

"General Sima doesn't know." Xun Yu dismounted and walked into the city gate accompanied by Sima Yi: "Your Majesty has enshrined Duke Cao as the king of Wei, I just persuaded two sentences, hoping that Duke Cao can recognize the situation." Unexpectedly, Cao Gong was actually angry and asked me to come to Shouchun and serve the eldest son from then on. ”

Sima Yi was stunned, he still asked Xun Yu with some disbelief: "Xun Gong really didn't have a joke?" ”

"Can I joke with the general about this kind of thing?" Xun Yu said: "If I talk nonsense and pass it to Cao Gong, can he still not cure my crimes?" ”

It was only at this time that Sima Yi really believed that Xun Yu was driven to Shouchun by Cao Cao.

He said to Xun Yu: "Xun Gong doesn't have to be sentimental, when he comes to Shouchun, the son will definitely not be contemptuous." Cao Gong is the head of the Cao family, and Gongzi is also the son of the Cao family, whether he is by Cao Gong's side or by Gongzi's side, he will serve Cao Gong after all. This time, Gongzi's Northern Expedition took Guo Fengxiao with him. ”

"I'm old, I'm afraid I can't follow my son to fight in the south and in the north." Xun Yu said: "Coming to Shouchun can only be a pension. ”

"Xun Gong has made countless meritorious contributions to the Cao family, recommended countless talents, and Gongzi is a person who values love and righteousness, and he will remember it in his heart." Sima Yi replied: "I'll settle Xun Gong first, and then send someone to send a letter to Gongzi to tell me about this matter first." A few days ago, I received a rumor that Gongzi had broken through Sanhan and Liaodong, and the Beihai Navy had also been established, and it should not be long before he returned. ”
