Chapter 77: Cheng Yu in a daze
After everyone left, Cao Cao couldn't wait to take Dian Wei to the back hall.
"I've seen Ming Gong."
Seeing Cao Cao coming, Yang Ling got up and saluted.
"Sir, don't be polite, sit down."
Cao Cao greeted with a smile.
After the two sat down, before Cao Cao could speak, Yang Ling took the initiative to say,
"My subordinates came here today to tell Ming Gong about welcoming the Son of Heaven."
Cao Cao was stunned, and then said overjoyed,
"Sir and I thought of going together, and I was going to tell you about it."
"What does Ming Gong mean?"
Yang Ling looked at Cao Cao and said softly.
"After all, I am a great Han courtier, if there is a problem today, how can I stand by and watch?"
Cao Cao sighed.
Although he is now a little ambitious to support the army and divide one side, he still regards himself as a Hanchen deep down.
Otherwise, he would not have died without being the emperor in history.
"Ming Gong is loyal and righteous, which is admirable."
Yang Ling praised and said slowly,
"Actually, I also suggest that Ming Gong go to welcome the Son of Heaven."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up,
"Sir's thoughts coincide with mine?"
Yang Ling shook his head slightly,
"No, I want the Lord of Heaven to hold the Son of Heaven in his hands and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!"
Cao Cao originally picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip.
Hearing this, his body shook, his hands trembled, and the tea suddenly spilled all over his body.
He didn't bother to wipe the water stains on his body, and looked at Yang Ling with a suspicious gaze.
Yang Ling didn't seem to see it, and said to himself,
"Although the princes of all sides fought and divided one side, they were still nominally subjects of the Han Dynasty, just like the Ming Duke."
"If the Son of Heaven is in his hands, he will have the name of righteousness, so as to command the world and attract talents from all over the world!"
His remarks are not bold!
The Son of Heaven is the king of a country, but all subjects should be loyal to the Son of Heaven and have great respect.
However, Yang Ling actually proposed to let Cao Cao take the Son of Heaven hostage!
If it was for other loyal people, Yang Ling would have been scolded a long time ago.
Cao Cao's breathing became a little short,
"Sir, in that case, I'll be infamy......"
"Ming Gong thinks, is it the great cause of the world that is important, or is it important to be infamous?"
Yang Ling looked at Cao Cao with deep eyes.
“…… Nature is important to the great cause of the world. ”
"Isn't that right? Moreover, history is written by the victor, as long as Ming Gong wins, it will only be recorded in the history books that it is Ming Gong who turned the tide in danger and saved the Han Dynasty! ”
Yang Ling smiled faintly.
When Cao Cao heard this, his heart moved.
Indeed, as Yang Ling said, history is written by the victors.
Just like when Chu and Han competed, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born and single-handedly created the Han Dynasty that continues to this day, which has been respected for generations.
On the other hand, Xiang Yu has become stubborn and proud!
This is the success or defeat of the king!
Cao Cao's eyes became clear, and he said solemnly,
"Thank you, sir, for your advice! As the gentleman said, I will prepare a little, and I will go to welcome the Son of Heaven! ”
"Ming Gong's movements must be fast! The Son of Heaven must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Yuan Shao. ”
Yang Ling admonished.
In history, because of Yuan Shao's indecision, Cao Cao finally succeeded in welcoming the Son of Heaven.
But because of his own appearance, a lot of history has been changed.
In case Yuan Shao suddenly made up his mind on a whim to welcome the Son of Heaven, it would be troublesome.
"I remember."
Cao Cao's face was solemn.
The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao occupies Hebei, has strong strength, and has a jade seal in his hand.
If the Son of Heaven really falls into his hands, it will be troublesome!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately asked Dian Wei to order his subordinates to prepare.
Seeing this, Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction and arched his hand,
"Then the subordinate will retire first."
"Sir, walk slowly."
Cao Cao took Yang Ling's arm and sent him out of the door.
When Yang Ling left, Cao Cao couldn't wait to find Dian Wei,
"Go, all the gentlemen who are here for this morning's meeting!"
"Whoa!"
Dian Wei gave up his hand.
After a while, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others gathered in the lobby.
Everyone looked at each other.
Didn't the lord say that he would discuss things after lunch, and before he had eaten the meal, he called everyone back.
At this moment, Cao Cao strode in from behind.
"I've seen the state pastor!"
The crowd saluted in unison.
"Excuse me!"
After Cao Cao sat down, he said in a deep voice,
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have made up my mind to send troops to meet the Son of Heaven today!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.
Not long ago, Cao Cao was still hesitant, not knowing whether to welcome the Son of Heaven, why did he make up his mind so quickly?
Could it be that someone went to tell Cao Cao something in private?
Liu Ye and others, who did not agree with welcoming the Son of Heaven, subconsciously looked at Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Mao Jue.
After all, there were only three of them just now, insisting on welcoming the Son of Heaven!
"Lord ......"
Liu Ye just wanted to say something.
But seeing Cao Cao waving his hand, his attitude was resolute and authentic,
"As long as the Son of Heaven is welcomed, we can serve the Son of Heaven to order the princes, hold the edict and even the Quartet! I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say more! ”
Seeing this, Liu Ye and others could only reluctantly surrender their orders.
"Alright, you all go down and get ready, and we'll leave in the afternoon."
Cao Cao commanded.
The crowd walked out in twos and threes.
As soon as he walked out of the state pastor's mansion, Liu Ye looked angry and said to Cheng Yu,
"Cheng Zhongde, if you want to persuade the lord and give advice to the lord, you can be generous on the bright side, why bother to play some small tricks behind your back!"
Hearing this, the strategists who had not dispersed all stood in place, looking at Liu Ye and Cheng Yu curiously.
Regarding the sudden change in Cao Cao's attitude, Cheng Yu was also very curious.
He was thinking about the discussion just now, and when Leng Buding was questioned by Liu Ye like this, he suddenly looked confused,
"What does Mr. Ziyang (Liu Ye's name) mean?"
"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is often related. Cheng Zhongde, why do you hide it? ”
Liu Ye snorted coldly.
Today's discussion, Cao Cao's strategists gathered together.
Only Mao Jue, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu had the most resolute attitude and strongly demanded to welcome the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, in Liu Ye's opinion, it must be one of them, who ran to secretly talk to Cao Cao after the meeting.
Mao Yu is honest and upright, and Xun Yu is noble and upright.
Neither of them is likely.
And Cao Cao's so-called "serving the Son of Heaven to order the princes", to put it bluntly, is to coerce the Son of Heaven!
Such a rebellious scheme, only the rigid Cheng Yu can put forward it!
Cheng Yu's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly,
"I don't understand what you're talking about, if it's okay, I'll go!"
After that, he no longer paid attention to Liu Ye and the others, and left on his own!
"Hmph, this Cheng Zhongde, relying on the trust of the lord, doesn't even take us seriously!"
"He secretly went to speak to the lord, maybe he was afraid that we would be jealous of his talent?"
"Maybe it's because we think we have a small belly."
Liu Ye and others were quite angry.
