Chapter 233: Fighting for power, Cao Cao worships the prime minister

readx;

Someone once said that if all the court officials were killed, they might wronged a few Qing officials, and if they killed one after another, they would definitely miss many corrupt officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The same is true of the villains in the world. With the heart of a villain, those who spend the belly of a gentleman abound. is like Cao Ying, in fact, when he picked up Liu Xie, although he had the intention of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the world, he was still loyal to the Han. But Dong Cheng and these villains made Cao Ying's heart cold!

There is never a shortage of ungrateful people in the world. No matter what identity or status, once you have dirty thoughts, you can't be a villain anymore! In Liu Xie's eyes, Cao Ying is his courtier, and as long as he wants, Cao Ying must give everything he has. But Liu Xie never thought about it, why? Just by origin, bloodline? It's ridiculous!

Liu Xie had forgotten too much, and he was completely carried away by power. He didn't remember being bullied by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan in Chang'an, he didn't remember being starved and cold in Luoyang City, and he didn't remember the faces of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang who gave him food, he only had rights in his eyes. In the past, he was said to be the hero who saved the driver, but in Dong Cheng and Fu Wan's mouth, he became a power annihilation who was greedy for merit and deceived the king!

Back in Xuchang, looking at Xun Yu holding the information about Xuchang, Cao Ying pointed at this pile of things very angrily and asked, "I asked you to guard Xuchang, and you guarded it like this?" ”

"This is all an edict from His Majesty, how can I not obey?" Xun Yu is a royalist, he is full of hope that Cao Ying will be the Duke of Zhou, but he doesn't understand that even if Cao Ying is willing to be the Duke of Zhou, Liu Xie is not willing to be the king, because King Cheng was once imprisoned by the Duke of Zhou in the Zi Palace!

Cao Ying was really disappointed, his heart was broken! At the beginning, when he learned that Zhang Miao colluded with Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou, Cao Ying was not worried about the safety of Yanzhou, but he regretted the loss of a close friend. Now that Xun Yu seems to be separated from him again, how can he not be sad and sad? You must know that Cao Ying's ability to have today is half of Zhang Miao's credit, and the other half is Xun Yu's credit.

If there is no Zhang Miao, even if Cao Ying can sit on the Yanzhou Assassin History, it will be very troublesome. You must know that it was Zhang Miao who invited Cao Ying into Chen Liu, and gave him the post of Chen Liu's Taishou, so that he had a foundation, and many of Cao Ying's ministers and generals were recommended by Xun Yu, such as: Chen Qun, Man Chong, Mao Jue! But now, it is these people who have created Cao Ying who are demolishing Cao Ying's platform, how can Cao Ying be embarrassed?

Xun Yu left, and Cao Ying sat on the chair, staring straight ahead with his eyes, no longer focused. His shrewd mind went blank. I don't know how long I sat there, and no one bothered me. It wasn't until the lights came on, listening to the bustling laughter and talking in the house, that Cao Ying finally came back to his senses!

Thinking of the original intention of raising troops, Cao Ying's eyes were full of determination. Back then, Cao Ying once said that he wanted to be engraved on the tombstone after his death: "The Tomb of Cao Hou in the West"! Now, Cao Ying's ambition has changed and become more ambitious, that is, to pacify the world, unify the Han Dynasty, and return the Han people to a Lang Lang Qiankun. Until then, all stumbling blocks have to be removed!

"Someone! Chuan Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Mao Jue, Jiang Ji, Chen Qun, Dong Zhao... Come and meet me! Cao Ying gave an order, and all the people who were named by him came to the Assassin's Mansion, but among these people, there were no uncles and nephews of the Xun family!

"See the lord!" Seeing Cao Ying, everyone naturally saluted, but after saluting, these resourceful people found that Cao Ying had changed and became profound and majestic! If it is said that the Cao Ying in the past made people feel that it was a sharp blade, the current Cao Ying is like a sword hidden in the sheath.

"Sit down!" Cao Ying smiled indifferently, but it was this indifference that made everyone's hearts tremble slightly.

After everyone sat down, Cheng Yu smiled and asked, "I don't know what the lord wants us to do?" ”

"You all know what happened in Xu Du recently!" Cao Ying glanced at everyone, and everyone's expressions were different.

"But Dong Cheng and Fu Wan planted their cronies without authorization?" Jiang Ji bowed down and asked, he was very smart and didn't mention Liu Xie and Xun Yu.

"Exactly!" Cao Ying glanced at Jiang Jidao and said: "Originally, we took Your Majesty over to help the Han family, but these so-called relatives of the state appointed and dismissed officials without authorization, disturbing the Holy Hearing, I don't know what to do?" ”

"It's easy to hear!" Cheng Yu was gloomy, made a killing gesture, and said with a smile: "For these people who are in the way, they are naturally eliminated!" ”

"No!" Mao Jue pondered deeply: "As soon as Your Majesty came to Xuchang, the lord killed the minister, which is not good for the reputation of the lord!" It is better to take the lord as the prime minister, lead the hundred officials, and all official appointments and dismissals must be agreed by the lord! ”

Speaking from the heart, if you ask Cao Ying's thoughts, he will naturally be more inclined to Cheng Yu. However, Cheng Yu's approach was too radical. Although Dong Cheng and others were in the way, they did not touch Cao Ying's bottom line, and killing them would cause a backlash from other officials, which was very unfavorable to Cao Ying.

Cao Ying nodded and said: "In the early Ming Dynasty, it was proposed to set up a prime minister and the chief regent!" ”

"Obey the Lord's orders!" Everyone slowly retreated, and they all went down to prepare for the Ming Dynasty to promote Cao Ying as the prime minister.

The next morning, as soon as Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, he found that in the hall, except for a few familiar faces, no one else knew him, and what made him feel uncomfortable was that he glanced at the hall and didn't see Cao Ying!

"Isn't Cao Aiqing returning to the dynasty as a class teacher? Why don't you see him? "If you can't see it, ask it, Liu Xie's habits are good!

"Your Majesty, Lord Cao is slightly unwell, please take a leave of absence!" A small yellow door hurriedly replied.

"Hmm!" Liu Xie nodded, feeling a little relieved.

"Your Majesty!" At the beginning of the early dynasty, Mao Jue was the first to stand up and said: "Sili Captain Cao Ying welcomes His Majesty in danger, and has the merit of helping Sheji, but he has not been rewarded so far, I dare to ask Your Majesty not to chill the loyal ministers!" ”

"This..."Liu Xie's heart tightened when he heard this, and he laughed softly: "It's my negligence!" Come! Message! Feng Cao Qing is commonplace..."

"Your Majesty!" Liu Xie was just about to issue an edict to make Cao Ying the secretary, and a minister stood up and said: "Lord Cao's merits, how can it be the position of the commonplace?" ”

"Bold Cheng Yu, Your Majesty has issued an edict, how dare you be rude?" Dong Cheng stood up, and he understood that Cao Ying was starting to make trouble.

"Dong Guozhang, if Your Majesty's reward and punishment are improper, won't it make the people of the world chill? I have heard that some people say that His Majesty is nepotistic and does not know people, is this sin worthy of you, or is it Lord Cao? Cheng Yu smiled gloomily, which actually made Dong Cheng shiver.

"This..."Dong Cheng wanted to say something, but found that Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he believed that as long as he said one more word, there would be no good result. For the sake of his surname, Dong Cheng retreated!

"Dare to ask Your Majesty to reward Lord Cao!" Cheng Yu took the lead, and in the entire hall, at least half of the officials jumped out. Seeing this situation, Liu Xie knew that if he didn't give Cao Ying a proper reward, it would be difficult to be good.

"Cao Qing has worked hard... I... I really don't know how to reward you? I don't know what the secretary thinks? Liu Xie's face turned blue, his hands under the dragon robe had already clenched into fists, and the muscles on his hands were bruised, and he was very angry in his heart!

"Your Majesty! In the past, it was said that Dong Zhuo rescued him in Bishan, and His Majesty named him the prime minister, praised and worshipped the nameless, did not enter the court, and went to the palace with a sword. Now Lord Cao's merits are even greater than Dong Zhuo's, please make him the prime minister, and always take charge of the affairs of the court! Full of favor's words made Liu Xie have no anger, only a pale face!

"I..." Liu Xie wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare. Scanning the hall helplessly, Liu Xie found that the ministers all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him, while Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and others also looked at him.

"Hahaha..."Liu Xie laughed loudly, he stood up and said: "Cao Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements, I have specially appointed him as the prime minister, leading the military general, fake festival, chief regent of the government, praise and worship is not named, enter the court is not trending, and go to the palace with a sword!" ”

"Command, thank you!" Cao Ying hung his sword at his waist, strode from outside the hall, and only bowed slightly to Liu Xie, and stood above the hundred officials.

"Isn't Cao Aiqing unwell?" Although Liu Xie was forced to compromise, he was still struggling in his heart, so he made sarcastic remarks!

"Your Majesty values the ministers so much, how dare the ministers delay the government because of a minor illness?" Cao Ying's face was flushed, which looked like he was sick. However, the people who originally dared to stab were basically cleared by Cao Ying. Now Cao Ying doesn't talk about pretending to be sick, even if he refers to the deer as a horse, no one must dare to say anything!

"Retreat!" Liu Xie's qi and blood surged, his hands were clenched, and he roared and walked towards the inner palace. But after a few steps, Cao Ying's words made him stumble and almost fall to the ground!

"Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and the next court meeting will be presided over by the prime minister!" Cao Ying has spoken, who dares to disagree? Even Dong Cheng's prickly head can see that Cao Ying's person is not good, how can he give his head to him to cut off?

Seeing that the ministers had no opinions, Cao Ying immediately announced a series of decrees, putting all the power of the DPRK and China in the hands of his cronies. Since then, Liu Xie has once again become a puppet emperor of clay sculpture and wooden tires!

Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are small, and Cao Ying has been cunning since he was a child, and often plays tricks on the Yuan brothers. Now that he heard that Cao Ying became the prime minister and also a general, Yuan Shao of Hebei slapped the table. No way! You, old Cao, have to give me the post of general. So, Yuan Shao wrote a letter to Cao Ying and asked Cao Ying for the general.

It stands to reason that how can the official positions of the imperial court be conferred and accepted privately? However, Yuan Shao was powerful, and Cao Ying had no choice but to give up the post of general to Yuan Shao, and he was also a lieutenant and a general of the chariot cavalry. As for the hussar general, who was one level higher than the general of the chariot cavalry, Cao Ying didn't dare to do it, because Liu Zhang occupied it! Although the hussar general is just a name, in case Liu Zhang gets sick and really sends troops from Chang'an, Cao Ying also has a headache.

Liu Zhang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, has repeatedly fought with foreign races, and he has gone off the rails with his sword, like a madman, and Liu Zhang does not play cards according to common sense. It's like the princes begging for Dong, everyone goes to take advantage and grab military merits, but Liu Zhang just goes to pick up people. Others thought it was a pretext, but in the end it turned out that it was the truth!

As the saying goes: the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the dead, and the harder are afraid of the dead! God knows, whether Liu Zhang has a neurotic disorder! Before he had enough strength, Cao Ying swore that he would never go head-to-head with Liu Zhang. Of course, in Cao Ying's heart, this is not the fear of Liu Zhang, but the respect for the enemy!
