Chapter 277: Conditions
After Yuxi actually "returned" to Jinling, Bai Tu also announced the news.
Bai Tu had discussed with a few henchmen before, and the handling process had been determined, but for safety, he didn't make a noise before he was sent back.
Nominally, this was the first time Bai Tu had seen the jade seal, after all, when Yuan Shu was the emperor, the jade seal was given to him by Sun Ce.
Moreover, for the sake of his own legitimacy, Yuan Shu also said that with the help of heaven, he found a jade seal that shined at the right time, and he would not shout all over the world that the jade seal that he was the emperor was a "ransom" that tied up the hostages of the Sun family and blackmailed him back.
The good news of conquering Fuyang, as well as the good news of the seizure of the jade seal, quickly spread in Jinling, and most Jinling people were happy, but they were just ...... There are also a small number of people, so they are worried that Bai Tu will do something unwise.
Of course, for the vast majority of the people in Jinling, and even most of the people in Jiangdong, even if Baitu is really "unwise", they can only welcome the new dynasty.
However, no matter what others thought, Bai Tu personally went out of the city and greeted the arrival of the jade seal, and the day after the arrival of the jade seal, he specially met Cao Pi in the general's mansion!
Sima Lang, as Cao Pi's think tank, also entered the mansion with him......
Sima Lang also knew very well that when Bai Tu saw them this time, nine times out of ten, it was for the sake of the jade seal that had already been rumored.
"Foreign Minister Cao Pi/Sima Lang, meet Bai Gong." Cao Pi and Sima Lang saluted.
"You two don't have to be polite, it's been winter recently, and you're still used to living in Jinling, right?" Bai Tu said politely.
"Jinling has a pleasant climate, and it is naturally customary, but every time I miss my father, I can't help but cry." Cao Pi said and covered his face with his sleeve.
"Well, Cao Zheng's filial piety is commendable, I believe Prime Minister Cao Cheng will miss you too! If Cao Zhengshi really misses it......" Bai Tu gasped as he spoke, Cao Pi was concentrating on coming over, expecting Bai Tu to let him go back, but he only heard Bai Tu say: "You can go and see more dramas with the role of Prime Minister Cao." ”
Cao Pi: ......
Cao Pi's face turned purple for a while, knowing that Bai Tu was deliberately teasing him!
The regular troupe in Jinling does not have a repertoire with Cao Cao as the protagonist, at most in "The Anger of the Sad People", there is a plot of Cao Cao's atrocities in Xuzhou.
Although Cao Pi was helpless, there was nothing to say - after all, this is the reality.
I heard that there are still some troupes that have lost their conscience, and they specially went to Xuzhou to perform these, as if to remind the people of Xuzhou of what Cao Cao did.
And this is still a regular troupe, as for those irregular wild troupes, that is, what performances are performed in the countryside "Wancheng Spring", "Fraud and Bullying Uncle", "How Much Do You Know About the Past of Zhangtai" and the like.
Needless to say, the last scene of "How Much Do You Know About the Past of Zhangtai" is the most exciting atmosphere for Cao Pi - it is about Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian, that is, Cao Pi's mother!
Zhangtai, that is, the name of the Han Dynasty for the place of looking for flowers and willows, and Mrs. Bian ...... It's an advocate.
After the original wife, Mrs. Ding, reconciled with Cao Cao because of Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao directly supported Mrs. Bian as his wife.
This also reflects Cao Cao's informality - the advocacy family background is nothing, the main thing is that after Cao Ang's death, Cao Pi is already the oldest son, and only Mrs. Fuzheng Bian, Cao Pi is the undisputed eldest son.
Therefore, it is conceivable what these people will play in the play.
After Cao Pi heard about this play, he almost went to find those wild troupes to come out and smash it.
Even recently, it has become popular that Cao Cao went to eat dumplings at his brothers' houses, with a single plot and a dance in flesh-colored underwear...... The entire city of Jinling is being cracked down, and it can only be seen in the countryside.
Bai Tu has always condemned this kind of behavior, even if the Central Plains rumors that he has horns and looks like a non-human, Bai Tu will not encourage this kind of behavior because of this, let alone write these banned scripts in person......
"Thank you...... Bai Gong cares. Cao Pi was angry in his heart, but he still endured it, after all, he was under the eaves.
"Recently, the brave soldiers of the Great General's Mansion finally exterminated Yuan Shu, and they had a thing on their minds for His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and they ...... I also found the lost jade seal of the imperial court, and I came to you this time for this matter. Bai Tu said directly.
Cao Pi and Sima Lang were slightly shocked when they heard Bai Tu take the initiative to mention it so directly.
Immediately, Sima Lang had already determined seven or eight points - since Bai Tu would make this matter public, he should not have the intention of ignoring the jade seal!
"This is the luck of the Han family and the work of Bai Gong." Sima Lang immediately said.
The hemp pole is afraid of the wolf, the jade seal is a hot potato for Bai Tu, but Cao Cao doesn't want it, Bai Tu directly picks up the jade seal and does something.
Opposite...... Cao Cao preferred that Bai Tu could "live up to his name" and return the jade seal to Xudu.
Now Guo Jia has also informed Cao Cao that about Xi Zhicai paying for his life and marrying the Han family's qi, it is also good for Cao Cao to recover some of the luck of the Han family.
Moreover, if the jade seal can return to the imperial court, the opposition to Cao Cao in the court can also be eased a little......
It's just that Sima Lang didn't think that Bai Tu would return the jade seal so easily, if it was him, although he would not stand on his own immediately, but it was likely to be kept secret, and Bai Tu's news of the jade seal was already a little beyond Sima Lang's expectations.
And now Sima Lang thinks that Bai Tu wants to take the opportunity to blackmail the imperial court - naturally it is also to blackmail the prime minister's mansion!
"Yes, I was appointed as the pastor of Yangzhou, and it has been almost five years since the 'Kuangfu Han Chamber', and it has been almost 2,000 days and nights, and I have been sleeping hard and conscientious, and I have never slept peacefully...... Now something has finally been done. Bai Tu first praised himself.
Then when Sima Lang felt weak in his heart, thinking that Bai Tu was asking the lion to open his mouth, he only heard Bai Tu say: "Finally...... Now I can make some contributions to the Kuangfu Han family, and when I choose a good day and an auspicious day, I will send the jade seal back to Xudu with a guard of honor! ”
"This ...... Since it is a return of the jade seal, no matter what day it is, it is a good day and an auspicious day, and His Majesty will be very happy. Sima Lang said specially, thinking that Bai Tu was going to use "good days and auspicious days" to delay.
"Don't be so hasty, at this time the Han family is declining, there are so many disciples in the world like Liu Biao, you should take this opportunity to calm people's hearts! I have already calculated the date of the Taishi Bureau, and I think it should be next month, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng should be ready to welcome it. Bai Tu said.
As soon as he heard "next month", Sima Lang's heart calmed down, and it didn't seem that he wanted to delay.
At the same time, I also understood the conditions of Baitu - first of all, Liu Biao...... What do you mean by "a disciple like Liu Biao"? is implying that the imperial court must put Liu Biao into the ranks of "disorderly elements"!
At the beginning, Bai Tu and Liu Biao went to war because they wanted to arrest Huang Zu, who assassinated the imperial court officials, and the anti-thief Yuan clan.
Now that Huang Zu and the Yuan family have been leveled, it is impossible for Bai Tu to stop in Jingzhou.
And...... Bai Tu has a jade seal, and he is not satisfied with finding a reason for himself, but asks Cao Cao, or the court, to find a righteous and bright reason for him!
In addition, let Cao Cao prepare for it, undoubtedly let Cao Cao mobilize the people and courtiers in the Central Plains, so that everyone in the world can see that Bai Tu took the initiative to send the jade seal back......
In short, this jade seal white picture is not wanted, but the court must be greatly satisfied with the white picture in the "name".
Although it seems a little "hypocritical", Sima Lang feels that this condition is not too much, and it is even much easier to meet than he expected, Cao Cao still doesn't know about the jade seal, but there is no reason to refuse.
So Sima Lang agreed on behalf of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and also stated that he would also go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and never chill Bai Tu......
It's just that...... Sima Lang couldn't guess that what Bai Tu was looking for was indeed "name", but it was more than that!
