In the palace, when he learned that Cao Cao and Cao Shuo were coming, Liu Xie was waiting in the front hall early.

The father and son entered the front hall, and after the salute, Cao Cao said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Zirong broke through Yuan Shu a few days ago, got something in Huainan, and specially returned to Xu Capital to present it to Your Majesty." ”

Although they are in the palace, Dong Cheng and others often bring some news to Liu Xie.

I had long known that Cao Shuo had sent the jade seal of the country, Liu Xie's eyes lit up but he pretended not to know and asked, "What did Zirong bring?" ”

Cao Cao took out the jade seal of the country, held it in both hands and handed it to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie got up and walked over, took the jade seal, and he gently unwrapped the silk wrapped outside.

When the jade seal of the country appeared in front of him, he was stunned.

After being stunned for a while, Liu Xiecai asked Cao Cao: "This is the jade seal that was lost back then?" ”

"Your Majesty is in the royal family, is it possible that you haven't seen it?" Cao Cao asked.

"Nope!" Liu Xie said: "Not long after I succeeded to the throne, Dong Zhuo hurriedly moved the capital to Chang'an, and the jade seal of the country was also lost at that time, and it was impossible for me to see it before the pro-government. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Cao Cao said: "The jade seal returns, and from today onwards, Your Majesty can govern in person." ”

Cao Cao's words made Liu Xie's heart happy.

He looked at Cao Cao, and was going to ask when he would be in power, but when he saw Cao Cao's eyes, the words he said were: "Duke Cao has done his best for the Han family, and I am very relieved that the jade seal of the country is still placed in Duke Cao." ”

Liu Xie responded like this, and Cao Cao was immediately satisfied.

He smiled slightly and said: "The jade seal is still placed here by Your Majesty, if I need to be rewarded or crusaded, Your Majesty will take out the jade seal and make an order." ”

"Since Cao Gong said so, I will accept it." Liu Xie said: "Zirong sent the jade seal, I always have to give him some rewards......

"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to give a reward in a hurry." Cao Shuo said: "The minister still has to stay in Xudu for a few days, and it is not too late to be rewarded in a few days." ”

"That's what Zirong said." Liu Xie smiled slightly: "Sending back the jade seal of the country is very high, and I can't reward it at will." Then find an auspicious day for the zodiac, and then I will carefully consider it before rewarding it. ”

Cao Cao and Cao Shuo gave the jade seal, and the two of them retired and left.

Out of the front hall, Cao Shuo asked Cao Cao: "Father, the Empress Dowager Tang has been in Xudu these days, how are you doing?" ”

"The Queen Mother said that she wanted to go to Huainan with you." Cao Cao said: "I thought about it again, it is indeed not safe to let her stay in Xudu......

"Father means ......," Cao Shuo asked.

"Since you have come to Xudu, the escort around the Queen Mother will be arranged by you for the time being." Cao Cao said, "When you leave, take her to Huainan with you." ”

"The child obeys!" Cao Shuo saluted.

"I still have a lot of affairs to deal with, and when you return to Xudu, you should also go to meet the Queen Mother." Cao Cao explained: "When I go home for dinner at night, your mother thinks about you very much." ”

Cao Shuo replied again and sent Cao Cao away.

When Cao Cao took Cao Shuo into the palace to present the jade seal of the country, a guest came to the Fu Wan Mansion.

It was Cao Jun who came to visit.

He returned to Xudu two days earlier than Cao Shuo, and did some dots up and down Xudu, and heard that Cao Cao and Cao Shuo had entered the palace, so he hurriedly came to visit Fu Wan.

Since following Cao Shuo, Cao Jun has also made a lot of contributions to the Cao family, he came to visit, and of course he didn't dare to slack off.

personally greeted outside the gate, saw Cao Jun coming, and saluted with his fists: "How can Jun Gongzi have the leisure to come to the cold house?" ”

"I've wanted to visit Fu Gong for a long time, but my brother has arranged too many things, and I can't pull away for a while." Cao Jun replied: "It's a little late, please don't blame Fu Gong!" ”

"The son is already shining when he comes to the cold house, how dare the old man blame him?" After Fu finished giving Cao Jun a way out, he said, "Jun Gongzi, please!" ”

After entering the house, the two sat down separately.

Cao Jun said to the accompanying guards, "Present the gift that Gongzi gave to Fu Gong." ”

The guard held a silk bag in both hands and handed it to Cao Jun.

Taking over the burden, Cao Jun said: "This is a gift that my brother specially ordered me to send to Fu Gong, and please accept Fu Gong with a smile!" ”

stepped forward to take the burden, and did not open it after the ambush, but said: "Childe is fighting outside, and it really makes me panic to think of me as a useless person." ”

"Fu Gong was once an auxiliary general, and he is now the national abbot, if my brother doesn't have too many affairs, he will definitely visit in person." Cao Jun said: "Some gifts, Fu Gong doesn't have to take them to heart. ”

"I heard that Gongzi took Huainan and got the jade seal of the country?" Accepting the gift, Fu Wan asked Cao Jun.

"Brother returned to Xudu this time, just to present the jade seal of the country to His Majesty." Cao Jun said: "It is said that my uncle has entered the palace with him, and presumably the jade seal of the country has reached His Majesty's hands." ”

After Fu Wan, he originally wanted to ask Cao Shuo what he planned to do with the jade seal of the country, but he didn't expect him to go to Xu Capital to offer the jade seal with Cao Cao.

It's not good to ask more, so I had to say: "The prince sent back the jade seal of the country to make an immortal contribution to the Han Dynasty, and His Majesty will definitely reward ......

"Actually, my brother is not a person who covets rewards." Cao Jun's expression was suddenly a little lost: "I thought that if I got Huainan, he would be in a better mood, but I didn't expect that he always showed his worries without any opinions recently, and it was not very good for us to see those of us who were with him." ”

Fu Wan asked suspiciously: "Gongzi has won Huainan and has a foundation from now on, what else is there to worry about?" ”

"If the name is not right, it is not good!" Cao Jun sighed: "Your Majesty only sealed my brother a Fubo general, occupying Huainan, if someone goes to attack, there is no need to find any reason." ”

"Jun Gongzi means ......," Fuwan asked.

"I also casually said to Fu Gong, don't take Fu Gong to heart." Cao Jun said: "My brother found the jade seal of the country, which is an immortal achievement for the Han family, and His Majesty named him the Marquis of Huainan, and then gave him a Yangzhou assassin history, which should not be an exaggeration." ”

"It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration!" After finishing it, he hurriedly responded.

"And!" Cao Jun continued: "At the beginning, His Majesty canonized Lu Bu as General Zuo, but now that Lu Bu has voted for his brother, his title has been stripped away. Although the rank of the left and right generals is not low, even if they do it with the merits of their elder brothers, it is not excessive. ”

"Jun Gongzi said yes!" After answering, he didn't say much.

"There's something I want to ask Fu Gong for, I don't know if I have this face." Cao Jun said.

Knowing that the main topic was coming, Fu Wan said to Cao Jun: "Jun Gongzi has something to say, if I can do it, I will do my best!" ”

After releasing his mouth, Cao Jun hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and made a big salute and said: "With Fu Gong's words, I am relieved!" ”

I knew very well what Cao Jun was going to say, but he couldn't refuse.

Cao Shuo won Huainan, and it can be said that he covered the sky with one hand in Xudu, and he did not propose it directly to Liu Xie, just because he was worried that outsiders would say that he coerced the emperor.

Even if he agreed to help Cao Shuo ask for an official, he was just a detour here.
