I will practice more in the heavens

Chapter 67
The ceremony of conferring the title of "Great General" was a grand event rarely seen in the Han court in recent decades. Dong Cheng tried his best to invite all the people with some reputation and status in Xuchang.

The purpose is to wipe out Cao Cao's party at the same time, and at the same time attract everyone to quickly fill the vacancy left by Cao Cao's death.

In this regard, Cao Cao did not stop, but contributed to the flames.

Because he also wanted people in the entire imperial city to see clearly what kind of emperor Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was, why the 400-year-old man had exhausted his strength, and why Cao Mengde wanted to rebel.

At this time, all the guests have been seated.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xun Yu, Li Ru, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, etc., Cao Ying's civil servants and generals are not missing.

All the relatives of the royal family also came.

However, Dong Cheng's most critical collaborator, Liu Bei, who was recognized as his "uncle emperor" some time ago, did not show up this time. Together with his two sworn younger brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who have the courage of all husbands, Neither came.

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

If it were someone else, not to mention those top strategists, even Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, would feel something was wrong.

But Dong Cheng was not vigilant at all.

"When the weather is right, I am ordered by you: Li Xing, the deputy general of the hussars, is unparalleled in bravery and unparalleled in feats. He is specially canonized as a 'general', in charge of the Shanshui and Xiliang armies, and Lu Bu and Dianwei are the deputy generals!" A eunuch took out The decree was read.

This official position is not low.

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

The existence of one person below ten thousand people.

However, apart from this position, the Shanshui army was originally Li Xing's team, and he captured Lu Bu alive in the Xiliang army to subdue him by himself-rewarding others with what others already have, what is that?
That is to say, some stupid and loyal people will eat this trick.

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

"Come, receive the edict." Dong Cheng said, but he personally took the imperial edict and delivered 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 single-minded warrior who refuses to obey the sky and the earth, he will not be inferior to anyone, even the emperor must follow his temperament.

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

As for Li Xing, he is a reckless man, and there are plenty of ways to deal with him in the future.

"En." Li Xing took the imperial decree and didn't say much.

At this time, Cao Cao came forward, worshiped Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, raised a jade seal above his head with both hands, and said: "This is the 'Jade Seal of Chuanguo' that I captured when I conquered Lu Bu. Please take it away and don't lose it again. "

These words seemed to have stimulated Liu Xie, causing a haze to appear on his immature face in an instant.

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

As soon as this remark came out, many people were shocked.

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

Let everyone present be stunned again.

"My lord!" Dian Wei yelled, and was about to rush up, but was held back by Li Xing with one hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't be impatient when evil comes, this is Meng De's plan."

Many people in Cao Ying don't know what Dian Wei's name is.

But because of his scary looks, everyone called him "Evil Lai", and he liked this nickname quite a lot.

"A strategy?" Dian Wei was taken aback.

At this moment in front of him, with the knife resting on his neck, Cao Cao showed no fear on his face. Instead, he expressed deep sorrow and said, "Dare to ask the Holy One, how can I, Cao Mengde, be sorry for you? Why did you suddenly want to take me down?"

These words froze Liu Xie's expression.

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

Whether it's etiquette or treatment, he has given enough.

But to be right, that's impossible.

"Huh, Cao Mengde, you have already welcomed the emperor back, why do you control the government and prevent the emperor from taking charge?" Dong Cheng felt that the overall situation was settled, and said arrogantly.

Regarding this, Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, and he argued: "But the emperor is young, can you give it to him? For example, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and hundreds of thousands of refugees gathered outside Xuchang City, but our disaster relief rice is only enough for 10 people." ,How to do?"

This made Dong Cheng stunned.

It's okay to be idle, what are you talking about refugees?
They live and die, what's the matter with the big man?

"Isn't that simple?" Emperor Xian of the Han said, "You can only send troops to drive them away, and then suppress those who lead the trouble, and the refugees will disperse without wasting food!"

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

Cao Cao was dumbfounded.

"This, how can anyone say that?"

"Shut up, how dare you question Your Majesty?" Dong Cheng said angrily.

Then he paused, and he said again: "Don't talk about the government, what about the military power? You are a prime minister, originally a civil servant, why do you hold on to the military power of the 'Shanshui Army'?"

This, Cao Cao can't answer.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that in today's era, if you don't control the military power, the prime minister is a fart.

But the thing is, it does go beyond that.

irrefutable.

However, Cao Cao was eloquent and immediately replied: "I, Cao Mengde, are willing to surrender military power and resign as prime minister. I only ask Your Majesty to give me a manor and a cow to enjoy my old age. I wonder if Your Majesty may agree?"

Regarding this, Dong Cheng smiled and shook his head.

And Liu Xie directly ordered: "Kill him!"

At this point, even Xun Yu, who had a heart for the Han family, couldn't stand it any longer.

So impatient, what is Cao Mengde?
If you can kill Cao Mengde today, can you kill Li Shanshui, Wang Yue, and yourself tomorrow?
Then what is the meaning of loyalty for people like myself?
"Haha..." Cao Cao laughed wildly suddenly, and said, "In the final analysis, Your Majesty, you still want to kill me, Cao Cao, just because you are afraid and you don't trust me. In your eyes, I am not a courtier at all, but just a worthless person. , kill 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, act quickly!"

However, Wang Yue didn't do anything when he heard the words, but withdrew the sword.

And Cao Cao, he also stood up, with no grievances on his face, only determination and mockery, and sneered: "What kind of 'jun' are you? Going back to the source, your ancestors were just a pavilion chief in Surabaya, not even a finger like me Cao Mengde big head!"

At this point, many people stared.

How can you say such outrageous words?
However, the more rebellious ones are yet to come - Li Xing also stood up, walked over to pick up the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, and looked at it brazenly without any respect.

While looking at it, he said: "Being ordered by heaven, you will live forever! This jade seal made by Qin Shihuang is very convenient for your Liu family to use, right? But from now on, you will have no chance to use it again!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted the jade seal high.
