Chapter 114: Brother is finally promoted!
Xiao Yi is a resolute person, the plan has been decided, never hesitated, after returning to the mansion, he convened his henchmen overnight, analyzed the situation, discussed countermeasures, and made two resolutions:
First, the official can resign, the power cannot be handed over, arrange manpower, firmly grasp the military power, and second, contact hundreds of officials, play the imperial court, and strive for the official position of the Great Sima, be sure to promote this matter!
At the sound of the order, the generals immediately took action, wandering around, spreading news, advocating topics such as 'the Metropolitan Governor has made meritorious contributions to the battle, comparable to the reincarnation of the 'Champion Hou', and non-high-ranking officials are not enough to be paid', and won the support of public opinion!
Xiao Yi was not idle, brought a heavy gift, and personally visited Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Cao Hong...... and others, making powerful statements and asking for help, these people also patted their chests and said that Xiao Lang's business is their own business, and they should help!
The action is fast, the effect is obvious, within one day, Cao Ying Group is a support, two days, civil and military officials have also expressed their support, and on the third day, the peddlers and pawns in Xuchang City also know...... "Xiao Lang is going to be a big Sima!" ”
"General Dangkou-Guannei Hou-Zhang Liao, suddenly said: The inheritance of the Han family, the first military merit, no worries about Hou Xiaoyi, pacifying Xiliang, unparalleled military achievements, should be promoted to the position of the Great Sima ......"
"General Che Cai-Lecheng Tinghou-Cao Hong, suddenly said: The rewards and punishments are clear, the iron law of the Han family, Hou Xiaoyi has no worries, he has fought on the battlefield, and has made great contributions repeatedly, so he should be promoted to the position of the Great Sima ......"
"The prince of the country - not the Hou - after the end, he suddenly said: Wu Hou Xiao Yi, open up the territory, and promote the prestige of the foreign land...... It should be carried to the great Sima! ”
……………………………………………………………………
In the Prime Minister's Mansion-study, hundreds of officials said one after another, and the twists and turns were piled up, without exception, all supported Xiao Yi to take the position of Da Sima, and Cao Pi, who was responsible for sorting out the documents, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to carry these folds and ask his father for instructions!
"Hehe, the generals of the opposite sex, the Cao clan, and the Han family are diehard...... It's all played, so concerted, it's the first time since the old man took office! After flipping through the folds, Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly and began to analyze the pros and cons, so as to make a correct judgment and rule on the matter!
Most of the generals with different surnames in the army are only Xiao Yima, one loses and one is prosperous, and it is not surprising that they wrote to support this matter!
The generals of the Cao clan are eyeing the 'Xuzhou Mu' position left by Xiao Yi, which is a veritable feudal official, who is not red-eyed!
Are the Han family die-hards, their intentions are even more vicious, they want to kill Xiao Yi, seize his military power, and then weaken the power of the Cao Ying group, and even have the intention of dividing and decomposing and sowing discord!
"The interests of the three parties are different and conflicting with each other, but they are standing on the same front at this time, Xiao Lang's move is really wonderful!"
Cao Cao knew in his heart that Xiao Yi could fight well, just like an extremely sharp sword, the king could hold it, he could win the world and have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the problem was that this sword was too sharp and too spiritual, once it couldn't be mastered, there was a possibility of backlash!
He has thought about it countless times, whether Xiao Yi will rebel, support the army and respect himself, divide one side of the ......, or mutiny, replace the Cao family, and become the new uncrowned king!
The answer is, of course, no, after years of getting along and thinking about it repeatedly, Cao Cao can be sure that Xiao Yi will never betray himself, to some extent, his trust in Xiao Yi is even over his own son!
The problem is that Xiao Yat has no heart of betrayal, but he has the power of betrayal, as a mature politician, he must not entrust the safety of the society to the unpredictable people's hearts, the vicissitudes of life, people's hearts are changeable, today's loyalty does not mean eternal loyalty, and it must be prevented!
Well, now Xiao Yi has reduced his authority and shown with practical actions that he has no intention of rebellion, which is a good thing for Cao Cao to stabilize the group and balance the forces of all parties!
"All the folds are sent to the palace, let Your Majesty personally deal with this matter, it has been a long time since the pro-government, and the royal pen and cinnabar should also move!" The world's major events are decided by the Prime Minister's Mansion, but this time, Cao Cao is ready to hand over the rights, first, Da Sima is high and powerful, let the emperor make an order, and be more formal, and second, he also wants to see the emperor's skills, how many catties and taels there are!
Of course, the Prime Minister's Mansion could not fail to express, Cao Cao took out his pen and ink, and began to issue Jun orders:
First, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, the elite of the world, has been expanded to 30,000 people by special order, and the required armor, weapons, and money will be directly allocated by the Prime Minister's Mansion and fully supported!
Second, the generals and colonels of the Western Expedition were rewarded for all meritorious deeds, given official positions, titles, and farms, and the pensions for the dead were doubled, and their parents and wives were supported by the court!
Third, notify the Prime Minister's Mansion to prepare etiquette, marriage letters, dowry, ......, then auspicious days, let Xiao Lang come to greet him!
People respect me a foot, I also give people a foot, Xiao Yi cut his authority and gave up the position of 'Xuzhou Mu', Cao Cao will definitely have something in return - expanding the army, rewarding, and marrying a daughter, which is enough to comfort the hearts of heroes!
"No! - Respect your father's order! ”
Cao Pi agreed, and ordered the guards to carry the fold and walk towards the palace, on the way, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he took out a fold from his arms and stuffed it in, supporting Xiao Lang to take the position of the great Sima, and he was also willing to contribute!

White Tiger Street - Wushou's Mansion - on the lobby!
In the first year of Jian'an, the sixth day of the autumn and October, the emperor of the Han Dynasty said:
I have heard that there are virtues, punishments, meritorious rewards, the rule of the saints, no worries Hou Xiao Yi - Phi Jian is stubborn, pro-risking arrows, expeditions to foreign lands, conquest of non-ministers, protecting the Han Dynasty Jinou, opening up thousands of miles of territory in the Western Regions, I am very Jiazhi, specially added the Great Sima, 20,000 households, descendants are hereditary, and the country is resting!
It may be because of the first review of the fold, Liu Xie's reaction was very fast, and the next day he sent his henchman eunuch - Hua Xin, holding a handwritten edict, sealing Xiao Yi as the Great Sima and giving him a golden seal!
"Congratulations to Da Sima, rich and glorious, step by step!" After reciting the holy decree, Huaxin took out a vermilion lacquer seal box and handed it over with his heart!
"Heavenly grace is mighty-long live my emperor-long live-long live-long live!" After Xiao Yi saluted, he took the seal box with both hands and opened it gently, and inside was a golden seal!
The body of the seal is red, made of gold, five inches in length and width, more than four inches in height, surrounded by dense flame ornamentation, in the middle stands a fierce beast, dragon head, deer body, ox hooves, horse tail, fish scales ......, the body is mighty, roaring in the sky, it is a fiery unicorn, under the big seal, there are eight articles engraved - commander of the six armies, the big Sima seal!
The gold seal is beautiful and generous, the luster is bright, the whole body has a thick layer of color, silky, this is the result of often playing, it can be seen that the original owner, how to take care of this gold seal!
"This great Sima seal was cast during the period of Emperor Wu, and it has been inherited for nearly four hundred years, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing once held this seal, commanding the six armies, for the country's appeasement, and today it is given to Xiao Lang, which shows that Your Majesty has a heart of love!"
Hua Xin has lived in Miyagi for a long time, is familiar with historical allusions, and begins to explain the origin of this great Sima seal, as well as the glorious achievements of the previous holders!
"Thank you Your Majesty for your love, this seal is in the hands of Wuchou, it must be cherished, order the soldiers and horses, sweep away the rebellion, and will not disgrace its glory!"
Holding the heavy golden seal, Xiao Yi's heart fluctuated, he also knew a little bit about the story of this golden seal, and only a part of the flower heart was produced, except for Wei Qing and Huo Quai, there were two people who had been its masters!
One is the great Sima who monopolizes power, supervises the regent of the country, and dares to depose the emperor - Huo Guang!
The other is to poison the Son of Heaven, cut off the Han Dynasty, and replace him with the Great Sima - Wang Mang!
The two powerful ministers have served as the Great Sima, holding this golden seal, overriding hundreds of officials, powering the world, and leaving a great name in the long river of history, but one is good and the other is evil!
Heavenly Dao cycle, cause and effect, this golden seal fell into his own hands, it can be regarded as the will of heaven in the dark, the question is, how to go next?
Like Wei Qing and Huo Quai, fight for the country, serve the frontier, and become a good general who will go down in history, or learn from Huo Guang and be a powerful minister, or follow Wang Mang and create his own dynasty......
"Hah! …… Ha! Ha! ”
After closing his eyes and pondering, after half a ring, Xiao Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, "I am born to be talented, I will be of great use, why bother to learn from others, I am unique - Ghost Face Xiao Lang!" ”
After suddenly becoming enlightened, Xiao Yi ordered to warmly entertain the eunuch Huaxin, full of wine and food, and sent a generous gift to thank him for conveying his will, as for the emperor's 'love', Xiao Yi just nodded slightly and did not react!
After sending off the palace envoy, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi personally led the team, holding a tray in their hands, and sent a wedding book, a dress, and a jade Ruyi ......, and officially set the wedding date, on October 30, which is not only the auspicious day of the zodiac, but also Xiao Yi's twenty-fourth birthday.
For the three brothers-in-law, Xiao Yi will not be treated badly, good wine and good food are treated, when leaving, each of them will give a BMW, and the horseback is full of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ......, this is called 'unmarried, show favor first, dredge the brother-in-law, in order to become a brother-in-law!' ’
"Congratulations to Da Sima - step by step, Gonghou Wandai!"
"Congratulations to Da Sima - Glory and wealth, and prosperity for his descendants!"

In the evening of the same day, the Marquis Mansion of Wushoufu held a feast, and the generals and colonels under his command, colleagues in the army, and hundreds of officials in the imperial court all brought heavy gifts to congratulate, flattered one by one, raised a glass to persuade and drink, and complimented them to an incomprehensible place!
Xiao Yi did not refuse, the wine was dry, and when he was drunk, he held the big Sima Golden Seal in one hand, pulled out the sword with the other, and announced loudly: "After several years of fighting and countless meritorious contributions, my brother has finally been promoted!" ”
