Chapter 67: At the Court Banquet

The ceremony of canonizing the "Great General" was a rare grand event in the Han Court in recent decades, and everyone in Xuchang who had some fame and status was invited by Dong Cheng in every possible way.

The purpose is to wipe out Cao Cao's party and the whole network, and at the same time, it also attracts everyone and quickly fills the vacancy left by Cao Cao's death.

In this regard, Cao Cao did not stop it, but added fuel to the fire.

Because he also wants the people in the entire imperial city to see clearly what kind of emperor Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is, why the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty have run out of energy, and why he Cao Mengde rebelled.

By this time, the guests had already taken their seats.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xun Yu, Li Ru, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, etc., Cao Yingwen and military generals are not missing.

The royal relatives also came.

However, Dong Cheng's most critical collaborator, Liu Bei, who was only recognized as the "imperial uncle" some time ago, did not show up this time, and even brought his two righteous brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were not brave enough to be brave, did not come.

In addition, after surrendering to Cao Cao, Lu Bu, who had been low-key, also did not come to the banquet.

If this is a different person, let alone those top strategists, even Cao Cao, who is suspicious by nature, will feel wrong.

But Dong Cheng was not alert at all.

"When the day is good, he is ordered by Zi Ming: the hussar deputy general Li Xing is brave and unparalleled, and his merits are world-remarkable, and he is specially canonized as the 'great general', and he is in charge of the Shanshui and Xiliang Second Army, and Lu Bu and Dian Wei are the deputy generals!" A eunuch took out the decree and read it.

This official position is not low.

You must know that the most famous "general" in the Han Dynasty was Wei Qing.

The existence of one person below ten thousand people.

However, in addition to this position, the Shanshui Army was originally Li Xing's men, and the Xiliang Army was even more subdued by him by capturing Lu Bu alive - taking what others already have to reward others, what is it?

That is, some foolish and faithful people will eat this set.

Those who really understand can't help but shake their heads secretly.

"Come, take the order." Dong Cheng said, but he took the holy decree with his own hands and sent it to Li Xing.

He didn't expect Li Xing to kneel down and accept the order.

In Dong Cheng's view, this is a tendon martial artist who is not convinced by heaven and earth, and will not live under anyone, even if it is the Son of Heaven, he has to follow his temperament.

However, as long as Cao Cao can be killed today, everything will be fine.

As for Li Xing, there is a reckless man, and there will be ways to clean it up in the future.

"Hmm." Li Xing took the holy decree and didn't say much.

At this time, Cao Cao stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Han Xian, raised a jade seal above his head, and said: "This is the 'heirloom jade seal' seized when the minister subdued Lu Bu, and please put it away from the saint and don't lose it again." ”

These words seemed to stimulate Liu Xie, making his immature face instantly reveal a haze.

simply couldn't bear it anymore, and said directly: "Come on, take down Cao Mengde!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people were surprised.

Wang Yue, on the other hand, walked over in person and drew his sword and put it on Cao Cao's neck.

made everyone present stunned again.

"Lord!" Dian Wei shouted and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Li Xing with one hand, and whispered: "Don't be impatient when evil comes, this is Meng De's strategy." ”

What Dian Wei's table words are, many people in Cao Ying don't know.

But because of his scary appearance, everyone calls him "Evil Lai", and he also likes this nickname.

"Strategy?" Dian Wei was stunned.

At this time, in front of him, the knife was on his neck, and Cao Cao's face was not frightened, but showed a deep sadness, and said: "Dare to ask the saint, where am I, Cao Mengde, sorry for you?" Why did you suddenly take me down? ”

These words made Liu Xie's expression stiffen.

To be honest, he really didn't know what was wrong with Cao Cao.

Whether it is etiquette or treatment, he has given enough.

But to be sure, that's not possible.

"Hmph, Cao Mengde, you have obviously welcomed back the Son of Heaven, why do you control the government and don't let the Son of Heaven govern?" Dong Cheng felt that the overall situation had been decided, and said arrogantly.

In this regard, Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, and he retorted: "But the Son of Heaven is young, can he give it to him?" For example, in the great drought in Guanzhong this year, hundreds of thousands of displaced people gathered outside Xuchang City, but our disaster relief rice and grain are only enough for 100,000 people to eat, what should we do? ”

This made Dong Cheng stunned.

It's okay to be idle, what kind of homeless people are you talking about?

They are dead or alive, what is the matter with Dahan?

"Isn't this easy?" Emperor Han Xian opened his mouth and said: "Only send troops to drive away, and then suppress the people who take the lead in making trouble, and the displaced people will scatter themselves, and there is no need to waste food!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Cao Cao was stunned.

"W-how can this be?"

"Shut up, how dare you question the Holy One?" Dong Cheng said angrily.

Then after a pause, he said again: "If you don't talk about the government, what about the military power?" You are a prime minister, you are a civilian official, why do you hold the military power of the 'Good Water Army'? ”

Cao Cao couldn't answer this.

Clear-eyed people know that in this era, if you don't control the military power, the prime minister is a fart.

But the problem is, it's really overstepping.

It's irrefutable.

However, Cao Cao was able to argue well, and immediately replied: "I, Cao Mengde, am willing to hand over the military power, resign from the position of prime minister, and only ask Your Majesty to give me a manor, a cow, and enjoy my old age in peace." I wonder if Your Majesty may agree? ”

For this, Dong Cheng shook his head with a smile.

And Liu Xie directly ordered: "Kill him!" ”

At this point, even Xun Yu, who has a heart for the Han family, can't stand it anymore.

So impatient, what is Cao Mengde?

If you can kill Cao Mengde today, can you also kill Li Shanshui, kill Wang Yue, and kill yourself tomorrow?

What is the meaning of loyalty among those of you?

"Haha......" Cao Cao suddenly laughed wildly and said: "In the final analysis, Your Majesty, you still want to kill me Cao Cao, just because you are jealous and you don't trust me." In your eyes, I'm not a courtier at all, but just a mustard, who kills if you want. ”

The sudden laughter startled Emperor Han Xian.

Dong Cheng also suddenly had an ominous premonition, so he hurriedly said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" Wang Yue hurry up! ”

However, when Wang Yue heard this, he did not make a move, but withdrew the sword.

And Cao Cao, he also stood up, there was no more grievance on his face, only resoluteness and mockery, and sneered: "What kind of 'gentleman' are you?" Tracing back to the roots, the ancestor is just a Surabaya pavilion chief, not as big as my Cao Mengde's finger! ”

At this point, many people were staring.

Can you say such a big rebellion?

However, the more rebellious ones are still to come-I saw Li Xing also stand up, walked over and picked up the jade seal of the country, and looked at it unscrupulously, without any respect.

While watching, he also said: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!" This jade seal created by Qin Shi Huang is very handy for your Liu family, right? But from now on, you won't have a chance to use it again! ”

With that, he lifted the jade seal high.
