Chapter 130: The Puppet Emperor

After the defeat of Wancheng, Cao Cao also wanted to let the soldiers rest and recuperate.

The Yuan family in Hebei has a big family, and Cao Cao is not willing to turn against Yuan Shao too early.

"Zirong's meaning coincides with mine." Cao Cao said: "I have decided to appease, but how to appease, who will appease, you still have to have an idea." ”

"Cao Gong, I am willing to go." One of the people in the room stood up.

The five-short figure of this life is already in the middle of the year, and his eyes are shining with intelligence.

Cao Shuo really didn't know him.

"It's best if Kongjiang is willing to go." Cao Cao asked, "What do you think Yuan Shao will withdraw?" ”

Mao Sui recommended himself to go to Hebei, and it was Kong Rong, who was famous for making pears.

He said to Cao Cao: "Gongzi is right, Yuan Shao is so happy, give him an official title, it is more useful than anything else." ”

"What's the right officer?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's a general." Kong Rong said: "Give a name, and Cao Gong doesn't need to allocate a soldier, which is more appropriate." ”

Listening to Kong Rong speak, Cao Shuo had a feeling.

The official title seems to have no meaning at all in the eyes of Cao Cao and others.

The general said that it would be sealed, and it was cheaper than the radish sold on the street......

Cao Cao nodded and said to Cao Shuo: "I have some affairs to deal with, you ask Your Majesty for the title of a great general to Yuan Shao." ”

Cao Shuo got up and responded.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It's all gone." ”

The crowd dispersed, and Cao Cao called Xun Yu to the backyard.

"Gong Cao asked Zirong Gongzi to ask for the title, did he want to see his ability?" Xun Yu asked.

Cao Cao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous king, and there is no problem in asking for a general." I just let him see His Majesty, even the Son of Heaven has seen him, who else will he be afraid of? ”

"Cao Gong is thoughtful." Xun Yu said.

"I want him to go to Hebei with Kong Rong, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked.

"Zirong Gongzi also went to Hebei?" Xun Yu asked rhetorically.

"He has been sick for many years, and I thought this son was dead." Cao Cao said: "I didn't expect to go to Wancheng, he not only recovered from his illness, but also seemed to be a different person, which made me very happy." The Cao family may have to rely on him in the future, I want him to have more experience, and don't ruin the foundation I worked so hard to manage. ”

"Cao Gong worked hard for the Han Dynasty, and the first emperors have spirits in the sky, and they will also be grateful for their loyalty." Xun Yu said: "It's just Zirong Gongzi ......"

"Are you afraid that he will be young and vigorous and anger Yuan Shao?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu nodded.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "He is as smooth as a loach, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not be able to withstand his rhetoric, but will give back many benefits!" ”

"Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, Cao Gong knows Zirong Gongzi too well, I'm really worried!" Xun Yu said.

I had seen the Xudu Palace from afar, and Cao Shuo really wanted to go in and have a look.

He was a puppet in the historical records but was unwilling, and Liu Xie, who had always wanted to turn over the salted fish, was quite interested.

Came to the palace with a few guards.

When the guards guarding the palace gate saw that it was him, they didn't dare to come forward to interrogate.

From the actions of the palace guards, Cao Shuo judged that the soldiers guarding here were all soldiers of the Cao family!

Although the emperor was courteous, he had really become a puppet.

The palace of Xudu also built a large hall, but it was very deserted, and there were no courtiers to see it.

As he was walking forward, he was confronted by a person.

This person was wearing a black robe and a square high hat, and Cao Shuo had never seen anyone dressed like this.

"Your Majesty ordered me to come and greet Childe." trotted in front of Cao Shuo, and someone bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty knows I'm coming?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Your Majesty has already been told." The person who greeted him said, "He is waiting in the dormitory." ”

Cao Shuo is only the son of the Cao family, but Liu Xie is the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The emperor waits for the son of the Cao family?

This style of painting......

Cao Shuo felt a little weird.

The people who came to greet him were beardless, white and tender, and spoke in a shrill voice.

Without him introducing himself, Cao Shuo could also see that he was a chamberlain in the palace.

"Please lead the way!" Cao Shuo arched his hand.

The chamberlain stepped aside and said to him, "Childe, please." ”

The Xudu Palace cannot be compared with Luoyang and Chang'an, and it is still a little bold, at least much wider than the Cao family's mansion.

The chamberlain led Cao Shuo away, and there was a stick of incense and came to Liu Xie's bedroom.

trotted to the door of the dormitory, and the chamberlain said, "Your Majesty, the son of the Cao family is here!" ”

"Hurry up, please!" A man's voice came from inside the room.

"Childe, Your Majesty invites you in." The chamberlain said to Cao Shuo.

Knowing that Cao Cao was powerful, Cao Shuo didn't expect Liu Xie to be afraid of him to such an extent.

A son of the Cao family can receive such courtesy.

He clearly heard Liu Xie say "hurry up, invite" instead of "announce his audience", which shows how humble the emperor has become.

Entering the dormitory, Cao Shuo saw a person sitting on the mat opposite.

This person was wearing a black robe, embroidered with some golden silk threads, although his bearing was extraordinary, there was a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows.

Seeing Cao Shuo coming, he hurriedly stood up.

The big Han is still black, and the emperor's robe is not yellow.

Bright yellow, as the color of the emperor's robe, only became popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, and until the early Tang Dynasty, the emperor's robe was still black.

Of course, Cao Shuo could see that he was the emperor of the dynasty, Liu Xie.

"Minister Cao Shuo, knock to see Your Majesty." said that Cao Shuo just bowed down.

"No need to be polite." What surprised Cao Shuo even more was that Liu Xie actually walked up to him, took his hand and said: "Gong Cao works for the Han Dynasty, and the Cao family is a royal family, so they don't need to be so polite." ”

"Your Majesty's courtesy really makes me panic." Cao Shuo said: "Rashly meeting is an important matter for my father, and it needs His Majesty's permission. ”

"What Cao Gong decides, I decide." Liu Xie said: "Zirong just said, it's just a holy decree. ”

Liu Xie knew his words, which made Cao Shuo a little surprised.

The last emperor of the Han Dynasty was really clear about the Cao family.

"My father wants to ask His Majesty to give Yuan Shao the title of general." Cao Shuo said.

"The general is a very popular minister, and I am left to Cao Gong." Liu Xie asked, "What are you doing for Yuan Shao?" ”

"The Han Dynasty is not only the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "Kuang Zheng Dahan must all work together, so my father implored His Majesty to reward Yuan Shao as a general. ”

"Cao Gong has a noble character and recommends virtue to me, of course I have to do it!" Liu Xie asked again: "Does Zirong have an official title?" ”

"Without His Majesty's hand-picking, even if there is an official, it is fake." Cao Shuo grinned.

"I look at Zirong as a talent, and he will definitely be a big man in the future." Liu Xie said: "How about I give you a general?" ”

"How dare a minister be gifted by His Majesty if he doesn't have the merit of size?" Cao Shuo said humbly.

"I have heard of Zirong's exploits." Liu Xie said: "It's more than enough to be a general!" ”
