Chapter 193: Zhang Five Hundred
Xudu Palace.
Cao Cao held a banquet in the palace in the name of the Son of Heaven to celebrate the triumphant return of Yang Ling and Cao Ang.
Night had just fallen, and the huge palace was already crowded.
Almost all of the Chinese military officials of the DPRK were present.
"Everyone, be quiet, I have something to say!"
Cao Cao glanced at it, like a marionette, Liu Xie, the son of heaven who was sitting on the stage in a daze, and then picked up the wine glass and stood up with a smile.
As soon as he heard that Cao Cao was going to speak, the hall that was originally buzzing and talking immediately quieted down.
"This time, Mr. Yang Ling crusaded against Huainan and won a complete victory, which can be described as a great achievement. In addition to the reward of the imperial court, I also plan to marry the little girl to him. ”
Cao Cao paused, looked at Yang Ling with a smile,
"I wonder if Mr. Yang is willing?"
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Yang Ling.
He can feel envy, jealousy, contempt, hatred from it...... A wide range of emotions.
Hey, I wanted to get out of the factional struggle in every possible way, but I didn't want to end up stepping into it.
Yang Ling sighed in his heart, quickly stood up, and arched his hand,
"Ling Aixiu's external wisdom, Hui Zhilanxin, to be able to marry her, it is really a blessing in the future!"
"That's good!"
Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed,
"From today on, we are a family!"
"Congratulations to the General!"
"Today is not only to pacify Huainan, but also to harvest such a good son-in-law, which can be described as a double happiness!"
"Yes, with the help of a genius like Mr. Yang, the general will be able to calm the world just around the corner!"
A group of officials clapped their ass.
Seeing that everyone surrounded Cao Cao like the stars and the moon, as if he was the lord of the world, Liu Xie's heart was full of depression and unwillingness.
He subconsciously looked at Fu Shou on the side,
"When the banquet is over, remember to stop Yang Ling!"
"Your Majesty......"
Fu Shougang wanted to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Liu Xie, he sneered,
"You've already slept with him anyway, so what's the harm in sleeping again?!"
Fu Shou's face was full of humiliation when he heard this, but he also said something more.
At this moment, Liu Ye stood up and walked out of the crowd.
When everyone was wondering what he was going to do, he walked up to Jia Xu and sneered,
"Mr. Wenhe is really calculating! I lost the bet I made with you before, and today I apologize to you in front of the civil and military officials! ”
Liu Ye said, bowed to Jia Xu, turned around and walked away.
Because Cao Cao sent Yang Ling to Huainan, Jia Xu did not express his opinion, and as a result, Liu Ye couldn't get rid of it, so he made a bet with Liu Ye.
Now that Yang Ling has won a big victory, it is naturally Liu Ye who has lost.
It's just that Jia Xu didn't expect that Liu Ye would apologize to him in public, which made him, who has always been low-key, a little unable to get off the stage.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Jia Xu coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment,
"Mr. Ziyang is polite, in fact, in the final analysis, Mr. Yang Ling is talented."
Yang Ling's face darkened.
You old yinbi, why did the matter between you and Liu Ye get involved with me again?
Jia Xu suddenly changed his words and said with a smile,
"However, this time to pacify Huainan, although it is said that Mr. Yang Ling and his son have the credit, but in the final analysis, it is also the general's wisdom and strategizing."
"Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to reward Your Majesty!"
Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but curse secretly in their hearts, this Jia Wenhe is really good at slapping Cao Cao's ass.
But in their hearts, they also nodded and agreed.
"Yes, what Mr. Wenhe said is very reasonable!"
"The great general has made great contributions, and he deserves to be rewarded!"
Cao Cao put down the wine glass in his hand, although he smiled and said nothing, his eyes flashed when he looked at Liu Xie.
Liu Xie's heart jumped, and he hurriedly smiled,
"What Mr. Wenhe said is very true, in your opinion, how to reward the general?"
Jia Xu smiled faintly,
"It's better to restore the post of prime minister and promote the general to prime minister."
As soon as these words came out, the lobby fell silent again.
From the time of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the post of prime minister was abolished, and the power of the prime minister was divided among the three dukes.
The general was originally located under the Three Princes, but in the later period, due to his great power, he was above the Three Princes.
Previously, Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor to Xudu and was canonized as a general.
Yuan Shao, who was named a lieutenant, was very angry about this.
The power of the general is monstrous enough, but he didn't expect Jia Xu to propose to appoint Cao Cao as the prime minister, which is equivalent to monopolizing power, no different from the monarch!
This Jia Xu deserves to be a poisoner!
As soon as this plan comes out, when Cao Cao completely controls the power in the future, won't the Han Dynasty be destroyed?
Liu Xie didn't mention how angry he was in his heart!
It's just that Hanchen, who was loyal to him before, has been killed in the edict.
At this moment, no one objected, and Cao Cao stared at Liu Xie again.
Forced to be helpless, Liu Xie could only laugh dryly,
Mr. Wenhe...... What he said is exactly what he wants, and the general listens to the order! ”
Cao Cao stood up slowly and threw his hand towards Liu Xie,
"The minister is here!"
"From today onwards, I will make you prime minister!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best to serve Your Majesty and the Han!"
Cao Cao laughed.
After the ceremony, a group of officials also stepped forward to congratulate Cao Cao.
"Where is Yang Ling?"
Cao Cao shouted.
Yang Ling stepped forward and said with a smile,
"Prime Minister, my subordinates are here."
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction,
"This time, I can be the prime minister, all thanks to your credit!"
"The prime minister is polite, where is the credit of my own family, it is really the joint efforts of Zi Yu Gongzi, General Wen Yuan, and General Zilong."
Yang Ling said modestly.
"By the way, speaking of which, I don't know where General Wen Yuan is?"
Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Yang Ling turned around and nodded at Zhang Liao on the side.
Zhang Liao hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully,
"The last general has seen the prime minister!"
Cao Cao looked him up and down and smiled appreciatively,
"Good! It is worthy of being a powerful Xiaoyaojin, and General Zhang Wubai, who captured Sun Zhongmou alive, is really mighty! ”
"I'm going to promote you to be a lieutenant general, and give you the title of Marquis of Guannei, what do you think?"
Zhang Liao's attack on the 30,000 Jiangdong army with 500 men and horses and the capture of the enemy's main general naturally caused a sensation after it was transmitted back to Xudu!
While people praised him, they also gave him the title of Zhang Wubai.
Cao Cao is quite fond of such a fierce general!
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Zhang Liao's face was not shocked, and he saluted Cao Cao and thanked him.
The more Cao Cao looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but say to Yang Ling on the side,
"Sir is really the world's Bole, and you have discovered such talents."
Continuously discovered top talents such as Huang Zhong, Jia Xu, Gan Ning, and Zhang Liao for Cao Cao, and everyone was quite impressed by Yang Ling.
"The prime minister has an overreputation, this is just the duty of his subordinates."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
They drank and had fun again until the night was dark, and then they dispersed.
Yang Ling and Zhao Yun were just about to leave the palace when they saw a eunuch come out of the corner and block their way.
"I've seen the gentleman and the general!"
