Chapter 7 Cao Cao was appointed prime minister
The four emperors didn't say a word, which made Cao Xuan a little puzzled.
"You don't know how to ride and shoot?"
The Four Emperors shook their heads.
"These are just the basic skills of being an emperor, and they are not enough to worry about."
Liu Che nodded.
"But this spring search, you'd better not show your edge, it's too early."
Li Shimin smiled slightly.
"Yes, this spring search is intentional, Cao Cao just wants you to show your edge and let you overpower the people around you."
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in agreement.
"The Southern Expedition is your main battlefield, it's better to pretend to be stupid in Chunsou, and as for the art of riding and archery, I can teach you."
The art of mounted archery naturally requires secret training.
The spring search is intentional, and it is not an inopportune thing, and of course it cannot be done at an inopportune time.
……
May, late spring.
Chen stayed in a wood.
Cao Xuan was drawing his bow and shooting arrows, and arrows were shuttling quickly through the woods.
Each arrow pierced the trunk steadily, allowing the arrow to sink into the trunk.
It wasn't until the arrows in the basket were shot that Cao Xuan stopped.
Walking to the trunk of the tree and looking at the arrows that had sunk into the trunk, Cao Xuan smiled slightly.
"Yes, a lot of progress has been made now."
The four emperors observed the arrows on the trunk and nodded approvingly.
"Xiaoxuan did a good job, this fixed target is already very stable, and it's time to move the target next."
Liu Che pointed to the leaves on the tree.
"Find a windy place, and after the leaves fall, you can shoot arrows!"
"At first, you can shoot one arrow at a time, and later on, you can practice shooting multiple arrows continuously."
"After all, there are many enemies on the battlefield, and shooting arrow by arrow is still too slow."
Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang watched from the side, completely unable to participate in their training.
In the art of riding and archery, it is enough for Yingzheng and Liu Che to teach Cao Xuan.
Although they are all people who have conquered the world, they are younger than Yingzheng and Liu Che.
What's more, Ying Zheng, the first emperor through the ages, is so majestic, although they are both emperors, they still have some fear of Ying Zheng.
Under the teaching of Ying Zheng and Liu Che, in just six days, Cao Xuan's riding and archery skills have been greatly improved.
By the river, Cao Xuan rode a horse-drawn bow in one go.
The horse galloped towards the tree, Cao Xuan sat on the horse's back but swayed, he felt the rhythm of the horse swaying, and shot arrows dozens of meters away from the tree.
Whoosh!
Arrows streaked through the air, and the sound of breaking wind followed.
Bent the bow and arrows, although only one bow was shot, but three arrows were shot.
The three arrows hit the leaves that fell from the tree, and finally the arrows nailed the leaves to the trunk.
"Huh~!"
Cao Xuan smiled slightly, and after carrying the bow and arrows, he rode straight to the tree.
After a shout, the horse stopped, and Cao Xuan also jumped off the horse.
When he came to the big tree and looked at the arrows on the thick trunk, Cao Xuan's smile became a little stronger.
Ying Zheng and Liu Che also nodded.
"Yes, Xiao Xuan's talent is very high, and he has successfully mastered the art of riding and archery in such a short period of time!"
Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang on the side were also surprised.
"If you participate in the spring search, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle!"
Listening to the evaluation of the four emperors, Cao Xuan also felt a little proud in his heart.
……
Soon, there is still one day before the spring search.
Chen Liu, inside Cao Cao's mansion.
"In the past few days, the news that I have a headache seems to be spreading very quickly."
Xun Yu, who was dressed in black and had white beard and white hair, nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, the news has indeed spread quickly, and there is already news of your illness everywhere in Chenliu."
Cao Cao smiled slightly.
"Okay, let them pass it on, pass it on well, it's best to let everyone in the world know that I, Cao Cao, is sick."
"The southern expedition is imminent, those guys wish I was sick to death, hahaha!"
……
Early the next morning.
Cao Cao sent Xu Zhu to Liu Xie's palace.
At this time, it was the time of the early dynasty, and the surrounding civil and military officials consciously separated on both sides, and they were very respectful.
Liu Xie sat on the throne in a daze, and his heart was full of emotion.
Now he is just a tool.
Cao Cao's tool to command the world.
And Xu Zhu broke into the palace, but no one dared to stop him.
After all, they are the civil and military officials who can be regarded as sending people under the fence.
"Minister Xu Zhu, I have seen Your Majesty."
Xu Zhu bowed and saluted, without giving Liu Xie any face.
"Your Majesty, what the king means is to ask Your Majesty to go to the southern suburbs today, and this spring search, the king hopes that Your Majesty will see it with your own eyes."
Liu Xie frowned slightly and looked at the surrounding civil and military officials, but none of them dared to speak.
Smiled helplessly, Liu Xie shook his head.
"General Xu Zhu, this spring search is a family affair of King Wei, and it shouldn't be easy for me, an outsider, to participate."
Xu Zhu frowned slightly.
"Hehe, the king said, Your Majesty should go this time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for next time."
Threats, naked threats.
If Liu Xie doesn't go, Cao Cao probably won't mind changing to an obedient emperor.
Hearing this, Liu Xie gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll go."
He didn't have a choice.
At least now it is still the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty exists in name only, but it is still the Han Dynasty!
But if he died, I don't know if Cao Cao would be the emperor.
So now it's better to be obedient, and he has no choice.
Xu Zhu smiled slightly and looked at the civil and military officials around him.
"Everyone, let's do it together."
……
Chenliu, southern suburbs, inside the hunting grounds.
Cao Cao and all his sons were already present at this time.
But the spring search did not start directly, Cao Cao was waiting.
This spring search is not only for Cao Xuan, but also for Liu Xie, and the system of abolishing the three public prime ministers.
Soon, Xu Zhu came on horseback, came to Cao Cao's side, dismounted and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the people have already come."
Cao Cao nodded, waved, and didn't say much.
Seeing this, Xu Zhu stepped aside.
And Liu Xie and the civil and military officials were also present at this time.
Seeing Liu Xie coming, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liu Xie to the high seat in a fake manner.
At the same time, he took out the holy decree and jade seal from his sleeve robe and handed them to Liu Xie.
"Please also ask Your Majesty's permission."
After receiving the holy decree and the jade seal, Liu Xie frowned slightly.
But when he opened the decree, he was shocked.
Abolish the three dukes and establish Cao Cao as prime minister!
Liu Xie is also the emperor, and he can see Cao Cao's thoughts at a glance.
If you want to monopolize power, you are a Cao Apu!
He was very angry, but it didn't help, after all, he didn't have a choice now.
"Okay."
Liu Xie smiled helplessly, took the jade seal and printed it on the holy decree, and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took the decree, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
Opening the decree, he read it aloud.
"There is a big chaos today, the three princes should be abolished, and I wish to make the king of Wei the prime minister......"
