Chapter 405: Temptation in the Court

Fu Wan is old, he can endure his temperament, and he can endure what ordinary people can't bear, he can do this, but Liu Xie can't.

As a monarch who should be able to command the world and call for wind and rain, but Liu Xie can't do that, there is nothing more uncomfortable in this world.

It's like a man lying in front of a beautiful lady wearing tulle, half-covered and half-hidden, spitting out orchids, scratching her head and posing, hot and charming, just waiting for you to pick up a gun and gallop at will, but when you go up and pick her up, you find that he is just a man who looks like a woman...... Not at all!

Therefore, it is difficult to be an emperor, and to be a puppet emperor - aggrieved!

People are always the most obsessed with what they can't get, Liu Xie has been bullied and oppressed by various heroes for many years, which has invisibly increased Liu Xie's desire and obsession with power that has never been touched, almost every day, Liu Xie will dream of carrying millions of male soldiers in his dreams, fighting in the east and west, tying hands in all directions, the princes worshipping, and the magnificent scene of the people's support.

Such a scene has become his lifelong dream.

And now, the original unattainable dream seems to have become within reach, the nightmare that blocked his goal Cao Cao has died, the greatest resistance has disappeared, and the day of regaining power as a true emperor seems to be quietly approaching.

But at this moment, the national abbot, who has always been the most supportive, prevented himself from seizing power, and poured a big basin of hot water on his fiery feelings in order to realize his dreams-Bingbing Cold.

"Guozhang, is there really no other way?" Liu Xie's pleading look on his face looked extremely painful.

Fu Wan was ruthless, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no other way, it is still the same sentence, wait for three years, three years later." Zhongzhou is in chaos, and big things can be expected! ”

Liu Xie bit his lip, clenched his fists heavily, and said, "What if I don't want to wait?" ”

Fu Wan frowned, glanced at Liu Xie deeply, and said, "Then Your Majesty will fall into a catastrophe!" Forgive the old minister's truth, although His Majesty is not yet in power, at least he has the prestige and right of the Son of Heaven in the court, and if he is replaced by Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, His Majesty will not have such favor at all. Why is there now? It's because of that Cao Zhi! According to the old minister's view, although Cao Zhi is Cao Cao's traitorous male, he has no ambition to usurp and rebel, he is tolerant and generous to His Majesty, far beyond his father's ability, the reason why the old minister let His Majesty wait a few more years, or want to carefully observe this person, maybe this son will become a Han family arm in the future instead of treacherous and evil, but if His Majesty is eager for quick success. forced him to be anxious, he didn't want to be a traitor, maybe he would also be forced to do it by His Majesty! ”

Liu Xie's face tightened when he heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "It's over." Are you excusing the Cao family's traitors? ”

Fu Wan shook his head and said: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister's heart is to His Majesty, the world can be learned, but today's words." The old minister just talked about the matter, and asked His Majesty to think twice. ”

Liu Xie took a deep breath, as if he was about to get angry. But in the end, he endured it and said firmly: "I'm tired, you go down!" ”

After Fu Wan saw Liu Xie's attitude towards him suddenly became cold, he knew that Liu Xie was unhappy, how could he be unhappy again, and he couldn't let Liu Xie come after Fu Wan, but just gave a respectful salute and slowly retreated.

Looking at the figure that gradually disappeared, Liu Xie clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.

"No, I've been waiting for eighteen years, and I'm going to wait again, I'm going to make a move! Guozhang is content with food and clothing, and refuses to help me, I ask others to help! ”

******************************

Two days later, it was the court meeting of the past, and all the officials above the middle and middle doctors of the civil and military affairs of Xu Du entered the Deyang Palace to participate in politics.

In the Deyang Palace, there are nearly more than 200 courtiers participating in politics, all of whom abide by the courtiers' festivals, kneel on the left and right sides of His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven, and take turns to play according to the order of the rank and size, waiting for the approval of the Hou.

Cao Zhi inherited his father's position, was in the position of commonplace, and his special status was not in the same column as the ministers, he was maverick, standing alone by the side of the Son of Heaven, issuing orders, and discussing politics.

Everything seems to be in order, but faintly, there is already an undercurrent surging.

Cao Zhi is different from his predecessor's several heroes, whenever there is something, he first consults Liu Xie's opinion, and after Liu Xie finishes speaking, he considers the pros and cons, puts forward his opinions and re-submits the request, so as to make a decision.

Today's court discussions have always been steady and smooth.

After all the matters were discussed, Cao Zhi immediately turned around and saluted Liu Xie, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after all the matters played by the ministers are discussed, you can disperse the court." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Cao Aiqing has worked hard. ”

His Highness suddenly heard a voice.

"Your Majesty, Minister, Si Zhi Wei Huang, there is something to play!"

Liu Xie turned his eyes to look at the person who was performing, a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It turned out to be Wei Aiqing, what did Aiqing report?" ”

Si Zhi Wei Huang stepped out of class, took out the bamboo slip from his arms to play, and said loudly: "Chen Wei Huang, get the grace of His Majesty, lick Ren Si Zhi, and supervise the hundred officials in the capital, which lasted five years of spring and autumn, and now the above table is a list of outstanding achievements and virtuous and honest authors of the five years of supervision officials. ”

Liu Xie glanced at Cao Zhi beside him, and saw that he seemed to be motionless, so he waved his hand and said to the serving Xiao Huangmen: "Submit the roster of Lord Wei!" ”

Xiao Huangmen presented Wei Huang's recital, Liu Xie looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Wei Sizhi is the first direct director of the department that I reset in the eighth year of Jian'an, the position is not big, but he has the heavy responsibility of supervising the hundred officials in the capital...... Cao Aiqing, what do you say? ”

Cao Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is sacred." ”

Liu Xie gently tapped the bamboo slip in his hand, and said with a chuckle: "Meritorious service is not rewarded, guilt is not punished, not Mingjun, I might as well carefully select the candidates on this list to find out whether their political achievements are true, if it is true, then reward and promote, think it is reused, or select a group of new talents for the Han Dynasty, think it is a future plan, I don't know what Cao Aiqing wants?" ”

Cao Zhi was silent for a long time when he heard this, but did not speak.

Although he is greedy for a cup of good wine, likes to recite poems against each other, and is not a mediocre talent, otherwise Cao Cao would not have loved him much when he was alive.

Cao Zhi's political sense is very keen, he can clearly feel that Wei Huang suddenly appeared on the list of inspectors today, it is a deliberate event, after all, Wei Huang has been the direct inspector of the hundred officials in Beijing for five years, and he has always only been an inspector. And there are not one or two people who play the performance, but a large number of them!

Cao Zhi knew in his heart that the Son of Heaven was going to take the opportunity to promote his cronies, and he wanted to try to seize some real power in the court!

If it were Cao Cao who was alive, Lao Cao wouldn't even bother to take care of today's matter, so he directly took the roster and tore it up.

But Cao Zhi is not Cao Cao, although he can also see the small abacus of the Son of Heaven, but in his heart, he does not have too great ambitions, and Cao Zhi has always respected the Son of Heaven, and has never regarded him as a puppet. For him, the Son of Heaven is the master, he is the servant, and it is not taboo for the master to ask the servant for some rights, and Liu Xie is very smart in this matter.

If it is a peaceful world, Cao Zhi will be like that, it doesn't matter.

But now the situation is different, all sides are enemies, the internal must be stable, and the power is too scattered!

But if you reject the Son of Heaven in person, there is no good reason for it for a while, and if you refuse stubbornly, it will go against the way of the monarch and the minister......

Cao Zhi hesitated, after all, he was young and kind, not a traitor like Cao Cao, and he would still be restrained by some morality when he did things.

Liu Xie saw that Cao Zhi's expression was uncertain, and he seemed to hesitate, and his heart was ecstatic.

There is a drama in this matter!

"Minister, Jin Wu Jia Xu, start playing!"

An old voice slowly rose from the corner, interrupting Cao Zhi's hesitation and Liu Xie's secret joy.

Liu Xie looked up, but saw that Jia Xu, the old man who rarely spoke on weekdays, was getting up slowly and bowing in his direction.

Liu Xie hesitated, but still waved his hand and said, "What is Doctor Jia's play?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

But seeing Jia Xu trembling and walking to the middle of the main hall, he gave a deep salute and said: "Your Majesty rewards meritorious heroes and promotes capable ministers, this is the way to rejuvenate the country...... Cao Sikong, why should you hesitate? ”

When Cao Zhi heard this, he glanced at Jia Xu deeply, and said: "Since it is Dr. Jia who has spoken, then let's do it, the next day on the list of this performance, I will wait for the three divisions to select the best ones to be promoted, and let them make contributions to the imperial court." ”

Jia Xu nodded in appreciation: "Sikong said this is very good. ”

Liu Xie was ecstatic, he never expected that Jia Xu would stand up and speak for him, and as soon as Jia Xu spoke, Cao Zhi actually agreed so well.

"Okay, good, Cao Aiqing, Dr. Jia is really the pillar of the country, he is really the first virtuous minister of my Han Dynasty, he is good at distinguishing right from wrong, he can check his loyalty, and I am very relieved."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty's praise is very great, the old minister can't afford it, but the old minister still has one thing he wants to play, that is, His Majesty's talent said, merit is not rewarded, guilty is not punished, not Mingjun, I don't know if this is the next moment of His Majesty's rise, or is it really sincere?" ”

Liu Xie said with a smile: "What Doctor Jia said, if I am not sincere, how can I be invited by Wei Huang to promote such a large number of virtuous people?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "That's good, dare to ask Your Majesty, Wei Huang's chapter said that those who have meritorious and diligent government are rewarded, and the greatest meritorious and virtuous minister of this dynasty, I don't know how Your Majesty should commend and reward him?" ”

Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this, and said, "The biggest virtuous minister in this dynasty? Who is Dr. Jia talking about? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Didn't Your Majesty already say it just now, Cao Sikong is the pillar of the country, and he is the first virtuous minister of my Han Dynasty. ”
