Chapter 68: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
Ye Hui smiled and nodded: "I rested well last night, after all, the place where I lived last night was the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't think there should be anyone who is so short-sighted and secretly hacked me in the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" ”
"That's natural, Mr. is now famous all over the world, naturally no one will dare to attack Mr., please go to the palace with me to meet Your Majesty."
The two got into the carriage together and went to the palace, on the way, Cao Cao did not say much, but Ye Hui found that Cao Cao had always had a sword pinned to his waist.
Even when he was in the carriage, the sword was not taken off.
It seems that the suspicious evaluation of Cao Cao by later generations is indeed not a lie.
And even those eunuchs at the gate of the palace had great respect for Cao Cao, and they couldn't wait to kneel on the ground and speak when they saw Cao Cao.
As soon as Cao Cao's feet stepped up the steps of the palace hall, someone shouted: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng has arrived!" ”
At this time, the civil and military officials above the court immediately picked up the guard plate and stood on both sides of the hall looking respectful.
Cao Cao walked to the top of the hall with Ye Hui in a majestic manner.
And the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Xian, had also stood up from the dragon chair at this time.
"The prime minister is here!"
Ye Hui raised his head and glanced at Emperor Han Xian, who was standing on top of the main hall at this time, this little emperor looked like he was in his teens.
Although he was wearing a dragon robe, he didn't have that kind of majesty on his body.
On the contrary, when facing Cao Cao, he seemed a little timid, and he didn't even dare to look directly at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao bowed deeply to Emperor Han Xian: "Cao Cao, the minister, was ordered to lead the immortal master Ye Hui to come into the palace to face the saint, Your Majesty, Wan'an!" ”
"Okay, it's really Prime Minister Lao, presumably this one by your side is the immortal master."
Ye Hui also stood up at this time, and bowed slightly to Emperor Han Xian: "It's Ye Hui down there!" ”
When Wang Yun saw Ye Hui, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Then he sighed helplessly, probably not expecting Ye Hui to mix with someone like Cao Cao.
Emperor Han Xian said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is magnificent, and he is worthy of being an immortal master who is highly respected by the prime minister!" ”
At this time, among the hundreds of civil and military officials, there was one person who stood up.
"Although Your Excellency is known as an immortal master, you are too unruly, why don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty my lord."
Hearing this, Ye Hui turned his head and glanced at this person.
The man looked to be about sixty years old, and he was already an old man with a guard in his hand.
Ye Hui smiled: "It's just a mountain village man, so naturally he doesn't take those red tape to heart, but this adult, since he respects His Majesty so much, why can't he help the Han family with his own strength?" ”
The person he said was speechless, and his face was immediately red.
"Immortal Master Ye, don't be surprised, I have long heard the prime minister say that the immortal master is a master of the world, so naturally he will not be constrained by these red tapes, and the immortal master's requirements have already been told to me." Emperor Han Xian.
Ye Hui nodded: "Now it is a troubled time, and the people are struggling to make a living, but I think that the foundation of governing the country should still lie in the people who study, so I want to expand the academy and settle in Yuzhou, which can be regarded as being able to do my part for the country." ”
"The immortal master is really respectful for the country and the people, I have specially ordered someone to prepare a holy decree this morning, so read it out now."
As soon as Emperor Han Xian said this.
Immediately beside him came a eunuch with a prepared decree in his hand.
Fengtian transported, the emperor said:
Immortal Master Ye Hui conforms to the way of heaven, popularizes grammar, and supports students, which is a move to inherit the way of heaven and conform to the will of the people.
Therefore, I and the princes decided to canonize the immortal master Ye Hui as the assassin of Yuzhou, enjoy the imperial court, do not have to go to the court to listen to the announcement, exempt Yuzhou from the tax burden for three years, and the government treasury allocated 500,000 taels of silver to fund the immortal master to rebuild the Bowen Academy in Yuzhou, and hope that the immortal master will make persistent efforts to benefit the people and dedicate himself to the world!
Chin this!
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present immediately knelt down, and the only few people who were still standing on top of this hall were Ye Hui, Cao Cao, Emperor Xian and the eunuch who had just read the holy decree.
And Ye Hui bowed to Emperor Han Xian at this time: "Grass people Ye Hui, thank you Your Majesty for the reward." ”
At this time, he secretly sighed in his heart that he had never been able to fight Cao Cao's old thief after all, and he definitely didn't want to serve as the so-called assassin of Yuzhou.
However, in this holy decree, he was named and asked to serve as the assassin of Yuzhou!
Although in this way, he became the supreme governor within the boundaries of Yuzhou, but he also had to help the court when it was in danger, because it was his duty as a minister.
However, he was more satisfied with the fact that he didn't have to go to the court to listen to the announcement.
At least I don't have to come here often to face the faces of this group of courtiers.
In his opinion, these ministers are nothing more than some sour and rotten Confucian students, which is really embarrassing and useful.
If you really have a little ability, you won't be living here now, and you have to look at Cao Cao's face.
And this early dynasty naturally came to an end, and after all the civil and military officials left, Ye Hui also left here with him.
Cao Cao originally wanted to invite him to his mansion for a while, after all, now that Ye Hui had just been named the assassin of Yuzhou, he had achieved his goal, and no matter what he said, he was kind to him.
If the two sides can sit down now, he will definitely be able to build a little friendship with each other.
But who knew that Ye Hui directly rejected his request.
"I will definitely go to the prime minister's mansion again in the future, but I have just been named the assassin of Yuzhou, and within the fiefdom, some things naturally need to be taken care of personally, so I won't go if there is a lot of inconvenience today."
Then Ye Hui said to Cao Cao: "As for the 500,000 taels of silver, please allocate it to the treasury of Yuzhou as soon as possible." ”
After speaking, he left the palace with a smile on his face, leaving Cao Cao alone to stand there, looking at his distant back.
Cao Cao has been raising troops for so many years, and the ups and downs along the way naturally don't need to be repeated.
Since the day he plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he has embarked on the road of dominating the Three Kingdoms.
But he never imagined that his first hero would one day be planted in the hands of a young man, and it was planted so thoroughly.
Since all his previous methods failed, he had gradually realized that Ye Hui was definitely not a mortal.
Whether it is force, scheming or city government, this person is far superior to Tongji in all aspects.
This is why he has always behaved so respectfully when facing Ye Hui.
Since there is no way to attack the other party now, it is better to be humble first, so as to dismantle the other party's vigilance.
"Ye Hui, I want to see how much wind and waves you can stir up under my nose."
