    "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" "I wish you all to be safe." Liu Xie raised his hand, indicating that the ministers could get up.  Yang Biao gave himself a reply last night, saying that the matter between Kong Rong and Cao Pi could be resolved peacefully.  "I have a starting point!" Yang Biao cupped his hands and stood up.  "Sir, please tell me!" "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Cao Pi" Yang Biao then presented the results of his discussions with Cao Cao.  Cao Pi eliminated the clan, demoted his official position to Shizhong, and retained his position in the imperial court.  Kong Rong was demoted to a commoner and sent back to Beihai.  The ministers listened to Yang Biao's proposal, and everyone knew in their hearts that Cao Cao and Yang Biao had probably discussed it and ended their imprisonment with such a peaceful outcome.  "Well, what you said makes sense. Prime Minister Cao, what about Cao Pi's elimination of the clan?" Liu Xie glanced at Cao Cao. After all, he is Cao Pi's father. This matter still needs Cao Cao's approval.  "I have no idea how to teach my son. It is a great favor to be favored by your majesty. I have no objection to it. I have no objection." Cao Cao bowed his hand and stood up to express his opinion on how to deal with Cao Pi. He had no objection.  "Okay, the matter is settled like this. Come and draw up the decree" This is how Liu Xie handled the matter between Cao Pi and Kong Rong.  "Gentlemen, do you have anything else to report?" Liu Xie finished dealing with Cao Pi and Kong Rong, and then asked the ministers. If there is nothing else, the court meeting can be ended.  "I have something to report!" Suddenly, an official walked out of the squad.  "What important matter does Manqing's family have to report?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and after taking a closer look, it turned out that Man Chong had something to report.  "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has raised troops in Yanzhou to fight against the Yellow Turbans since the Zhongping period. After Li Guo's disaster, His Majesty was trapped in Chang'an. The Prime Minister raised troops to rescue him. He welcomed Your Majesty back to Xudu and set up the imperial court. Later, he attacked Yuan Shao in Hebei. Ping Jiangdong's Sun family,  After the disaster of Ma Chao's expedition to the west, he went south to Jingzhou and brought Jingnan to the imperial court. He made unparalleled achievements and the people of the world admired him. " "Now there are people in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yongzhou, Sili and other places.  Please order Ce to make the Prime Minister the King of Wei, and ask for your Majesty's approval." Man Chong asked Liu Xie to appoint Cao Cao as the King of Wei.  "My lord Yang Xiu seconded the proposal!" Yang Xiu was the first to stand up.  Seconded by Man Chong, Yang Xiu was helpless. Last night he was summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Cao Cao and threatened. As a last resort, he became Cao Cao's gun.  "This?" Liu Xie was stunned, completely stunned.  Cao Cao actually proposed to establish the king of Wei at this time. This was a complete surprise attack.  Caught off guard.  Cao Pi's matter has just faded away, and Cao Cao is about to claim the throne of King Wei?  The ministers did not expect that Cao Cao would suddenly do this, and everyone was a little confused, especially after Man Chong made the suggestion, Yang Xiu was the first to second it.  This puts Yang Biao in an embarrassing position. It is not good for Yang Biao to speak, and it is not good for Yang Biao not to speak.  Yang Biao narrowed his eyes and glanced at Cao Cao.  What a great Cao Mengde.  Really awesome.  When Yang Biao left the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, Yang Xiu came to meet Cao Cao.  The father and son met and chatted for a few words. Yang Biao originally thought that Yang Xiu just came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play chess with Cao Cao, but he did not expect that Yang Xiu would actually come out to second Man Chong at this time.  The fact that Yang Xiu did not return home last night should have attracted Yang Biao's attention. I am afraid that Yang Xiu was imprisoned by Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight.  I was too negligent, I didn't expect Cao Cao to act so quickly.  This time it was really unexpected.  ¡°I¡¯m done, second the proposal!¡± Before anyone could react, another minister stood up and seconded the proposal.  When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Liu Xie's father-in-law and Queen Fu's father, Fu Wan!  Liu Xie was confused.  Even his father-in-law stood up. It seemed that Cao Cao had already planned, and even Fu Wan succumbed to Cao Cao's power.  "I second the proposal!" Yang Xiu expressed his stance, and so did Fu Wan.  The two major forces supporting Liu Xie had close relatives who came forward. Of course, Cao Cao's people could not lag behind. They all came out one after another to express their support for Man Chong's resolution.  Within a quarter of an hour, the ministers were kneeling in darkness under the court.  Only a dozen or so people stood silently.  Of course Cao Cao's people support Cao Cao, and the neutrals are also unambiguous. No matter who wins, Cao Cao or Liu Xie, as long as they express their stance, they will be promoted to nobility. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor by then.  "Absurd! Emperor Gaozu once said that people with different surnames should not be crowned kings. How could they be granted the title of prime minister?"  It pierced the throat and fell down.  "Assassins, there are assassins!" Most of the courtiers were so frightened that they took a step back and shouted loudly when they saw the blood splattered in front of the palace.  "Where are the chariot generals?" Cao Cao shouted.  "The general is here!" Lu Rui stood up and bowed his hand to Cao Cao.  "Capture the traitor quickly" "Nuo" LuRui cupped his hands and walked out of the hall.  Only the ministers whispering were left.  Of course Lu Rui would not go outside the hall to catch the murderer. Instead, he strolled around and returned to the main hall.  "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the general is incompetent and has not caught the assassin yet!" Lu Rui cupped his hands and knelt in front of Cao Cao.  "What? General Chariot and Cavalry, do you know your crime? This is the palace, where His Majesty is safe. The general has been out for more than a moment, why can't he capture the assassin? This is a waste of consideration for His Majesty's safety, and it is a serious crime." Cao Cao scolded Lu severely.  Rui.  "Your Majesty, the general of chariots and cavalry has neglected his duty, please punish him!" After Cao Cao scolded Lu Rui, he turned around and asked Liu Xie for orders to punish Lu Rui.  Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair and watched the performance of Weng and his son-in-law with a wry smile in his heart. He didn't expect that the reality of what Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty said at the time was "I am a knife and you are a slave, and you are a fish" would be staged in front of him, and he was a fat man.  Fish, a big fish to be slaughtered. ?? Lu Rui is a cavalry general, and the guards in the palace are all Cao Cao's men. How come he hasn't caught the murderer even after being out for a quarter of an hour?  This murderer is Cao Cao's man, and Lu Rui will not catch him, especially what Cao Cao said was in vain to care about His Majesty's safety.  The expression was to scold Lu Rui for his inaction, but in fact it was to remind himself that Liu Xie's life was in Cao Mengde's hands.  "The Prime Minister is serious. The palace is so big that it is not comparable to ordinary palaces. There are many courtyards in the harem. It is possible for the assassin to escape into the harem. As long as the cavalry general resumes his search, he will surely catch the assassin." Liu Xie found a man who was even a fool.  The reason for not believing it is that the palace is too big. This is not Lu Rui's fault.  Search again and you'll find the assassin.  "General Chariot and Cavalry, why don't you hurry up and catch the assassin?" Cao Cao scolded Lu Rui again, and at the same time gave Lu Rui a look.  "No!" Of course Lu Rui understood what Cao Cao meant. After leaving the palace, a body was brought up soon.  "I am reporting to your majesty that the assassin resisted and was killed by me. This person is a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, and your majesty was frightened." Lu Rui cupped his hand and reported back to Liu Xie.  The remnants of the Yellow Turbans?  Liu Xie sneered in his heart, are there still remnants of the Yellow Turbans walking in Xudu now?  If you want to kill, you should kill Cao Mengde, not yourself. Who is the remnant of the Yellow Turbans? It is obvious that he is the person arranged by Cao Cao.  "Thank you for your hard work, General Chariot and Cavalry." Liu Xie smiled slightly.  nodded.  At this time, Liu Xie could no longer resist. Cao Cao had taken control of all the troops, and now even the imperial palace did not have his own bodyguards.  "This is a matter for minor ministers." "I am reporting to your majesty that the matter of enthronement is a major matter of the country and cannot be decided hastily. I ask you to withdraw from the court and discuss it later." Yang Biao walked to the corpse of the civil servant who was stabbed to death.  .  He bowed his hands and reported back to Liu Xie.  Yang Biao glared at Cao Cao and Lu Rui. If you can, take this old bone like me with you!  "Well, what the boss said makes sense. If something like this happened today, we should discuss it later." Seeing that neither Cao Cao nor Lu Rui objected, Liu Xie knew that this might be the bottom line for the two of them, so he followed Yang Biao's advice.  mean.  Retired.  "Sir, I know there is nothing I can do to save the day. Now I just want to preserve the blood of the Han Dynasty." After retreating from the court, Liu Xie and Yang Biao returned to the harem. Cao Cao's series of performances have highlighted his intention to replace the Han Dynasty with Cao Cao, and he also  I'm tired and don't want to conflict with Cao Cao anymore.  But if Cao Cao pushes too hard, Liu Xie will not give in.  "Your Majesty?" Yang Biao looked at Liu Xie with infinite regret in his heart. He and Liu Xie had lost too many opportunities.  Now that he and Liu Xie no longer have military power, the family soldiers of the aristocratic families cannot compete with Cao Cao's elite troops. Now it is only a matter of time before Cao Cao takes over from the Han Dynasty.  "My lord, I understand that these things are all my fault. I just ask you to consider the kindness of the Han Dynasty and teach me a way to preserve my own blood." Liu Xie suddenly remembered Dong Guifei.  Death, and the poor child in her belly.  I don't want to end up with a broken family and no one to die after being replaced as a Han Dynasty.  "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Cao Cao has taken control of the overall situation, the family has gone through several generations. It can't resist Cao but it can limit Cao. As long as Cao Cao's heirs are not smart, your majesty can enjoy his old age in peace." Yang Biao bowed his hand and reported back to Liu Xie.  Yang Biao was a veteran of three dynasties and had rich political experience. He quickly came up with a solution for Liu Xie.  The system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was inherited from the Western Han Dynasty, and it also inherited the political capital of the aristocratic family that monopolized the court in the late Western Han Dynasty. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused the aristocratic family to lose its strength, the aristocratic family had a deep foundation. After the world became stable, it slowly regained its strength.  The aristocratic family under Cao Cao has slowly recovered its vitality. If Cao Cao's successor does not have Cao Cao's courage and cannot fight against the aristocratic family, Liu Xie will be a useful flag to balance between the Cao family and the aristocratic family. When the time comes, Liu Xie will  The descendants of the family can enjoy peace and wealth forever.  "Are you sure, sir?" Liu Xie was stunned after hearing Yang Biao's words.Sooner or later, the Cao family will discover this. When the time comes, the Cao family will retaliate, and I am afraid that I will be involved.  "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the old minister has made arrangements. This matter will never endanger your majesty. However, your majesty will have to follow the old minister's advice in future decisions." In order to repay the kindness of the Han Dynasty, Yang Biao has decided to risk everything and use his own  His life paved the way for Liu Xie.  "That's it, Mr. Lao Lao." Liu Xie waved his hand, indicating that Yang Biao could withdraw. He was tired, too tired. He just wanted to have a good rest and not think about the annoying political affairs.  "Your Majesty, take care!" Yang Biao cupped his hands and left.  Since Cao Cao proposed to Liu Xie to appoint him as the king of Wei, Cao Cao could not go to the morning court the next day because of illness.  Cao Cao did not go to court. Seeing that Cao Cao's people did not go to court, everyone made many excuses not to go to court in the morning. Some people even launched a petition in Xudu to let Cao Cao become the king of Wei.  In the days that followed, Liu Xie issued three edicts stating that Cao Cao should be conferred the title of King of Wei for his hard work and merit. The edict was sent to Cao Cao's prime minister's residence, but Cao Cao refused to do so, and hundreds of officials advised him.  Liu Xie also sent people to persuade Cao Cao to ascend the title of King of Wei.  "These things are all political farce. Liu Xie is afraid of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also wants to show off. Just like this, you push you, I push me, and they just kick the ball off each other.  Lu Rui had no interest in participating in these political farces and lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 20 years.  Tired of these things, Lu Rui stayed in his house, stayed with Cao Jie, and listened to the sound of the child in Cao Jie's belly.  "Jie'er, you're tired, go over there and take a rest." Today was the day of court, so Lu Rui made an excuse.  He didn't go to the morning court. Even Cao Cao didn't go to the morning court. There was no point in going by himself.  "Yes!" Cao Jie let Lu Rui support him and came to the pavilion in the garden to rest.  "Master Marquis, the Prime Minister has agreed to confer the title of King of Wei, and the canonization ceremony will be held tomorrow." Cao Jie had just sat down.  Xu Shu came to report that Cao Cao had agreed to the reward from King Wei, and the registration ceremony would be held tomorrow.  "Oh? Father Zhong has agreed? Jie'er, I have to rest early today, and I have to go back to Cao's Mansion tomorrow to congratulate me." It was expected that he would be granted the title of King of Wei. Cao Cao would confer the title of king, and his daughter and son-in-law should go and congratulate him.  "Yes. Husband." Cao Jie was also very happy to hear that his father had been promoted to the title of King of Wei.  The next day, Lu Rui took Cao Jie and a group of guards and maids to the Prince of Wei's Mansion.  As soon as Lu Rui's motorcade arrived at King Wei's residence, the steward from Cao's residence greeted them.  "I have met the general, Lord Wu'an!" Cao Cao was promoted to queen and his children were also rewarded. Cao Jie was named Lord Wu'an.  Three hundred households in the city were rewarded.  "Yes!" Lu Rui nodded and helped Cao Jie out of the carriage.  "Zihuan?" Cao Jie had just gotten off the carriage and saw a familiar figure. This was Cao Pi.  When Cao Cao became king, all civil and military officials would come to congratulate him. Although Cao Pi was excommunicated, he could still congratulate him as an ordinary person.  "Brother Rui?" Cao Pi was stunned when he saw Lu Rui and Cao Jie.  I didn't expect to meet these two people here.  Originally, Cao Pi wanted to arrive at Prince Wei's Mansion later just to avoid some acquaintances, but unexpectedly he met Lu Rui.  "Zihuan?" Looking at this relative, Cao Jie didn't know what to say.  A descendant of the Cao family who was exterminated.  "Sister-in-law!" Cao Pi cupped his hands to greet Cao Jie.  Cao Pi was expelled from the clan, and the title became a big problem. It was impossible for the two to refer to each other as brother and sister. However, Cao Pi didn't know how to address Cao Jie. He could only call him sister-in-law. For Rui Ge's wife, calling her sister-in-law was also in line with etiquette.  "General, Lord Cao, please come in!" Butler Cao can no longer call Cao Pi the son, he can only call Lord Cao, an eighth-grade official, Shizhong!  "Yes." Lu Rui nodded, leading Cao Jie and Cao Pi into the Cao Mansion.  On the way, I met many servants of the Cao Mansion. Everyone saluted the three of them, but they felt embarrassed when they were addressed by Cao Pi. Many servants did not know how to address Cao Pi.  Cao Pi looked frustrated and followed Lu Rui to the side hall.  In the side hall, most of them were Cao family's children. Seeing Cao Jie and Lu Rui coming, Cao family's juniors all pulled Cao Jie to play in the backyard.  "Zihuan, follow" Cao Jie wanted to ask Zihuan to go to the backyard to visit Mrs. Bian, but he suddenly thought of Cao Pi's current identity and hesitated.  "Sister-in-law, it's better to go see Mrs. Bian. Pi is no longer a member of the Cao family. I'm afraid I can't go to the backyard of Prince Wei's Mansion." Now Cao Pi is an outsider in Prince Wei's Mansion. Outsiders cannot enter the inner courtyard. This is etiquette.  "Yes!" Cao Jian nodded, knowing that he was helpless now, so he could only follow the younger members of the Cao family to the backyard.  Lu Rui patted Cao Pi and said a few words of comfort.  It's obviously his parents' home, but he still has to be treated like an outsider. Not everyone can bear this feeling.Not long after Cao Pi arrived at the Wei Palace, the dinner began.  Cao Pi was placed at the bottom table because Cao Pi had been expelled from the clan. According to official rank, Cao Pi, an eighth-grade official, could only eat at the bottom table.  This time it was hard for Madam Bian. Originally, after Cao Pi eliminated the clan, Madam Bian rarely saw her son. In order to avoid suspicion, Cao Pi could not go to the Wei Palace often. This time it was a banquet. Cao Pi could come to Wei openly and openly.  The palace.  But the mother sits at the head table and the son sits at the bottom table. How can they meet each other?  Mrs. Bian stretched her neck many times to look for Cao Pi, and Cao Pi also looked for Mrs. Bian. Unfortunately, there were too many people at the banquet. Many times the two people's eyes just met, and they were interrupted by the crowd. In mythology, there is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.  The king of Wei had Mrs. Bian and Cao Pi.  Because Mrs. Bian and Cao Pi had an affair with each other at the dinner, people in the Cao family were a little taboo about it. The dinner was not very pleasant. Even Cao Cao ate in a hurry and then invited Lu Rui into the study.  "Bu Fan, these are the clothes your two mothers made for Zi Huan, and these gifts should be given to Zi Huan." As a father, Cao Cao was very sad when he saw Cao Pi, but he was already the king of Wei.  , I couldn't make the decision on many things myself, I could only give Cao Pi some compensation secretly.  "Yes, Father Zhong, the child must give these things to Zihuan." "Well, there is one more thing about Zihuan. Although Zihuan has been expelled from the clan, as long as Zihuan has made meritorious deeds, he can still return.  At court, Feng Zi Mengyin, my father decided to send Zi Huan to Liangzhou to join the army for Xiliang. You write a letter to Zhong Yao and ask him to take good care of Zi Huan. "Cao Cao made a decision and asked Cao Pi to go to the northwest.  Make great achievements and then return to Xudu.  "Child, write a letter?" "Of course it's you. Zhong Yao is an extraordinary son-in-law. What's wrong with his father-in-law writing a family letter to his son-in-law?" Cao Cao choked Lu Rui. You have a middle-aged son-in-law, so you can make good use of it.  .  "Yes!" Lu Rui was speechless. Every time he heard Zhong Yao calling "father-in-law," Lu Rui would get skin crawlies!  PS: Thank you for your great support!  !  !
