However, this system was greatly challenged after Lü Bu and Sun Ce successively became kings, when Lü Bu pacified Yuan Shao, his prestige was unmatched, and his soldiers and horses were strong, and the princes had to befriend Lü Bu, and Sun Ce occupied a dangerous place in Jiangdong, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and if the two were united in one place, it was enough to confront the crusading forces.

Even the courtiers who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu and Sun Ce, but it was difficult to influence the two.

"The lord is wise." Xun Yu arched his hand.

After everyone left, Cao Cao's mood was a little complicated, at first, he wanted to revitalize the Han family through his own efforts, become the minister of the Han Dynasty, and leave his name in history, but as time went by, he found that his strength was no longer enough to change all this, and the decline of the Han family, the actions of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, gradually pushed Cao Cao to the opposite path.

Especially when the strength in his hands grows, Cao Cao has more ideas, Cao Cao believes that the same is true of other princes, such as Yuan Shu, after the fourth and third dukes, after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu's power is extremely huge, and there are fierce generals like Sun Jian, but he has embarked on the road of becoming the emperor, which is ambition in the final analysis.

Among the princes, the most obvious ambition is Lu Bu, from the time when he swept Liangzhou, it can be seen that at this time, the soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou may only know the prestige of the King of Jin, but do not know the Han Dynasty, the same thing is put on Cao Cao's body, he will also choose like this.

And Lu Bu's purpose is obviously the world, his strength is enough to conquer the world, and with Sun Quan of Jiangdong as an ally, after the two are united, even if the forces of him and Liu Bei are united, it is difficult to pose a threat to Lu Bu.

"Order, let Cheng Yu and Man Pet come." Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu, who had just returned to the mansion, did not dare to slack off after getting Cao Cao's order, he knew that Cao Cao's mood would be a little depressed after today's events, and Cheng Yu was a little regretful that Cao Cao could not be called king and compromise with the forces loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Cheng Yu was slightly stunned after meeting the full favor outside the Hou Mansion, and now the full favor is Xu Duling, and he is Cao Cao's most important person, at this time, let the full favor enter the Hou Mansion, giving Cheng Yu a bad premonition.

Cao Cao turned his back to the two and said: "Zhongde, now there are many people in the family in the city who secretly support Liu Bei, this matter should be strictly investigated, and Bo Ning, as Xu Duling, should be even more conscientious." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao had no follow-up, the two bowed and left.

After a little thought, Cheng Yu understood Cao Cao's intentions, today Xun Yu openly opposed him, obviously there are a lot of forces that support Xun Yu in secret, and after the existence of these people provokes Cao Cao's authority, how can Cao Cao give up so easily.

"Lord Man, this official is in charge of Xu Du's intelligence, if Lord Man needs anything, even if he says it clearly." Cheng Yu said.

Man Zhong arched his hand and said: "Thank you Lord Cheng for that." ”

Full Favor is also a person with exquisite thoughts, Cao Cao summoned him and Cheng Yu together, secretly meaning to let the two work together to do this thing, although Full Favor didn't know what was going on, Cheng Yu knew that he needed Cheng Yu's reminder.

The next day, Xu Du was shaken, and the Li family, Yan family, and Yu family in the city were imprisoned for Xu Du Ling Manzhong on the grounds of fornicating with Liu Bei, and tortured him.

Xun Yu knew that this was Cao Cao expressing his dissatisfaction, and when he was full of favor to govern Xu Du, he was known for being harsh, and it was inevitable that there would be people who supported Liu Bei in the Jingzhou family, at this critical moment, Cao Cao's sudden move, so that the atmosphere of Xu Du was dignified, Cao Cao called the king, and in private the officials had a lot of discussions, according to the current situation, Cao Cao was very likely to be the king.

The people who support Cao Cao naturally hope that Cao Cao can go further, so that their status can be greatly improved, as for the one in the palace, it is automatically ignored by many officials, whether it is in terms of means or strength, Liu Cong is too much worse than Cao Cao.

In such troubled times, the strength of the hand is the most important factor affecting the status.

Cao Cao did not claim the title of king, there must be a certain reason, mainly because of the exquisite mind, you can know it with a little thought.

The disaster suffered by Xu Du's family has a great deal to do with Cao Cao in Xun Yu's view, and just after discussing the matter of becoming king with Cao Cao, Xu Du has a family that colludes with Liu Bei.

At this time, among the princes, the safest is Liu Bei, but the weakest is also Liu Bei, is it necessary for the family to collude with a weak person, as long as it is a discerning person can see this, for a while, the family members in the capital city are in danger.

Some families who secretly opposed Cao Cao realized the horror of Cao Cao, and the three families that were eradicated were against Cao Cao's claim to be king in the dark, and they didn't want their families to be destroyed under Cao Cao's power.

When the safety of the Han family is compared with the safety of the family, the family will still have a wise choice, they don't want to perish before the Han family, and their family still needs them to revitalize.

Three days later, in the court, he was full of favor and said: "The Marquis of Shanyang has fought for the Han Dynasty for many years, and has made great military exploits, rescued the saint from Jingzhou, and saved him from the enemy's poisonous hands. ”

When the officials of the imperial court heard this, their hearts tightened, knowing that this was the beginning of a new round of struggle between Cao Cao and the officials who secretly opposed him, and indeed after entering the Xu capital, Cao Cao did not get too many rewards, at this time Xu Du was stable, and it was reasonable for Cao Cao to get the rewards, Cao Cao is now the Marquis of Shanyang, Yanzhou Mu, and this kind of official position is definitely very important when the Han Dynasty is stable.

However, in terms of status, Cao Cao is a little worse than the other three princes, such as Lu Bu is a general and the king of Jin, which is higher than Cao Cao.

After Liu Cong entered Xu Du, he felt a lot more relieved, but he had never seen such a situation, so he could only look at the Cai family not far away.

Cai said: "The Marquis of Shanyang is loyal, can show the sun and the moon, and deserves to be rewarded." ”

"Now that the saint is young, the minister proposes to promote the Marquis of Shanyang to the prime minister, the head of the hundred officials." Full of pets.

The officials in the court heard a lot of discussions, and the official position of the prime minister has been abandoned, but the status of the prime minister is very high, enough to compete with Lu Bu's general, and the prime minister is the first person under the emperor, such as the current money situation of the imperial court, Cao Cao has absolute power.
