"I think back then, Dong Zhuo, the husband of Xiliang, also sealed himself as a Xiangguo, and even gave himself the honorific title of Shangfu, Cao Shangshu rescued the Son of Heaven from the hands of Li Guo's two thieves, why didn't he ask for a decree to seal himself?"

Hiding a knife in his smile, hiding a bad intention, it seems that Dong Cheng is unhappy with Cao Cao not getting a reward, but in fact, you can recall it after a careful recollection, the hidden meaning of Dong Cheng's words is equivalent to saying, you Cao Cao can use the Son of Heaven to reward the princes of the world, why don't you reward yourself, and even compare Cao Cao with Dong Zhuo, that is, you Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo are all the way.

No matter how weak the authority of the Han family is, as long as there is no change of dynasty for a day, then the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, and he is supreme, and once the reputation of the Son of Heaven is settled, then the consequences can be described as strict, not to mention, the reputation similar to Dong Zhuo in the back is settled, and the ghost knows if the princes of the world will not mind forming an alliance to fight Cao.

"General Dong, don't you know that Dong Zhuo is like this, which shows his stupidity, arrogance and ignorance, not to mention, Cao is not Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao glanced at Dong Cheng, held the jade gui, and said to Emperor Han Xian: "Minister Cao Cao, the world receives the grace of the country, knows the grace of the retribution, the world knows, the minister Cao Cao, just want to be loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the Han Dynasty, life has been in a hurry for decades, and the reputation is just passing away, the minister just wants to revitalize the Han Dynasty in his lifetime, and contribute to the peaceful and prosperous era of the people in the world!" ”

"Cao Shangshu, that's a good point, with Cao Shangshu leading me to wait, why worry about the Han Dynasty not being happy."

"yes, yes."

Seeing the ministers echoing and praising Cao Cao, Dong Cheng's face changed, and finally settled on the smiling face, and said with a smile to Cao Cao: "But I misunderstood Cao Shangshu, it turns out that Cao Shangshu is pragmatic and not pragmatic." ”

Cao Cao also felt impatient in his heart for Dong Cheng's repeated sarcasm openly and secretly for holding the Son of Heaven hostage, but he had no way to do anything with him.

If you really want to kill Dong Cheng, with Cao Cao's current status, power, and strength, of course there is no problem, but it is cool like this, and the final result is just to become a person like Dong Zhuo.

The political zhì family will never be like a ranger or a hero, happy and revengeful, and can kill people in a fit of anger, but although they can't be brutally killed, it's okay to find an excuse to kill them.

Looking at Dong Cheng who had returned to his seat, a dark light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and after the secret confrontation between Cao Cao and Dong Cheng came to an end, Emperor Han Xian above also finished reading Cao Cao's three-point recital, and said: "Cao Aiqing, I have read all three of your cantatas, and I have taken them one by one." ”

"Thank you!"

Since the three chapters have been successful, then Cao Cao doesn't want to stay here, you must know that there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the newly built Yanzhou Prefecture or Shangshu Mansion.

However, just as Cao Cao was about to lead his ministers to bow and leave, a minister suddenly stood up, came to the center of the main hall, held a jade gui, and said to Emperor Han Xian: "The minister has a book!" ”

"Aiqing, please speak."

After hearing this, Emperor Han Xian, who was at the top, subconsciously glanced at Cao Cao for some reason, and after finding that he nodded slightly, he opened his mouth and said to the minister.

"Thank you!"

The minister who got the permission of grace, after glancing at Cao Cao with flattery, said to Emperor Han Xian with righteousness: "Your Majesty, General Dong is reasonable, Cao Shangshu, not only has a great merit of saving the driver, but also revitalizes my Han, loyal to the living Zhou Duke of my Han, the minister asks His Majesty Xià to send down the decree, seal Cao Shangshu as the prime minister, fake festival, enter the court without worship, bring a sword to the court!" ”

I'll go, what a sycophant!

Although the ministers of the main hall secretly sarcastically said in their hearts, they also felt bad, this loyal thing can not be late, the ministers with this kind of thought, one by one, facing the Han Emperor, kneeling down, kowtowed: "The ministers please Your Majesty Xià decree, add Cao Shangshu as the prime minister, fake festival, enter the court without worshipping, bring a sword to the court!" ”

The voice of the ministers seemed to shake the entire Chongde Palace, and in the hall, it was the shouts of the ministers that echoed, Emperor Han Xian's face was pale, panicked, and Dong Cheng was even more angry and speechless, in any case, he did not expect that his previous words of sarcasm about Cao Cao had become an excuse for the ministers to ask Emperor Han Xian to reward Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be, the minister's wish has been clear, I just want to help His Majesty revitalize the Han Dynasty, after the revitalization, the minister only wants a foot of cloth, an acre of land, free in the mountains and rivers, the position of prime minister, the minister will never dare to accept it!"

For the prime minister, Cao Cao really doesn't pay much attention to it, but if he doesn't worship in the court, Cao Cao thinks it's okay, although Cao Cao doesn't mind bowing to others, but if he can not kneel down, Cao Cao doesn't mind, but although he wants to accept it in his heart, he can't be too anxious on the table, he must push it three times, and in the end, he has to do so.

For the three pushes, since the ancestors of the old Liu family, Liu Bang, Liu Heng, and Liu Qi, these emperors have played all their lives one by one, it has long become the common sense that every official must have, so Dong Cheng is angry and wants to faint again, Emperor Han Xian is more and more panicked and desperate, and the officials are more intense.

A sentence of sensual words came out of the mouths of hundreds of officials, in the mouths of hundreds of officials, Cao Cao is simply a reincarnation saint, Zhou Gong is alive, what Jiang Ziya, grandson or something, even to Cao Cao to carry shoes, and such a perfect person, if not the prime minister, they can be said to live without a trace of motivation, revitalization of the Han or something, there is no motivation, in a word, that is, Cao Cao must be the prime minister, not they should strike.

Those meaty and speechless words can be said to have once again refreshed Cao Cao's perception of the lower limit of hundreds of officials, but I have to say that Cao Cao is still very satisfied with such a statement by hundreds of officials, there is no lower limit, there is no lower limit, as long as he doesn't add chaos to himself, Cao Cao still doesn't mind letting them occupy a place in this court that exists in name only.

"Cao Aiqing, since the ministers all hope that Cao Aiqing will serve as the prime minister, they also hope that Aiqing will resign and help me revitalize the Han Dynasty."

The general trend is inviolable, compared to Emperor Han Xian, who has become an adult in another time and space, and has a strong sense of power in his heart, Emperor Han Xian of this era is still just a young child.

And Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who has experienced Dong Cheng's chaotic government, seen the ugliness of hundreds of officials, experienced battlefield battles, and experienced life and death, although the loss of the power and prestige of the Son of Heaven made him instinctively uncomfortable, but more importantly, he wanted to live in peace and stability, and if he wanted to achieve this wish, he had to rely on Cao Cao.
