Some said that Cao Cao was about to die in the new year, and some said that it was forbidden by the heavens for Cao Cao to usurp the Han and stand on his own, and even said that the poor soldiers would not be loved by heaven and earth.

In short, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and the entire Xu Capital City is full of people's hearts.

……

"Hey! Xun Shangshu, this... what should I do? Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, the crown prince is away, and Xu Ducheng is even more panic-stricken. If something goes wrong..."

"Be careful!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Xun Yu stared and scolded in a low voice.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health, and anyone who dares to scare me will be killed without mercy!"

Xi Zhicai stood quietly at the side, cast aside his eyes on everyone's expressions, his face was covered with frost, and he spoke firmly.

"..."

Xun Yu and the others were surprised when they heard Xi Zhicai speak. This genius, who had always been taciturn in court, was now looking at everyone with a serious face.

"Cao Sima, you go to the Privy Council immediately to sit in charge!"

Xi Zhicai didn't seem to see the eyes of everyone, but turned around and said coldly to a sexual Sima behind him.

"Here!"

Cao Sima didn't dare to be negligent, he hurried forward to promise, turned around, took Xi Zhicai's token and headed towards the Privy Council.

Although the Privy Council is under the three provinces, it is not under the control of the three provinces, and the rank of the best chief of the Privy Council is above the six ministries, and the reason why people are more cautious is because the Privy Council controls the sixteen guards of the Southern Yamen.

Because of this, the Privy Council has always stationed a law enforcement team of thousands of people. This law enforcement team is all retired elite soldiers from the Weiwei Army. They guard the Jinghun Pavilion in name, but in fact they are the representatives of the sixteen guards in the imperial court. .

But today's Xudu is not what it used to be. Ever since Cao Cao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and reformed the military system, it has been expressly forbidden for all government houses to raise private soldiers.

Because of this, everyone suddenly understood something after hearing Xi Zhicai's order. This is one of the four highest commanders of the Privy Council, and he has a thousand elite soldiers in his hands.

"The crown prince and Lord Ning are fighting abroad. Anyone who dares to confuse the people with evil words and shake the foundation of the country will be killed!"

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, but they understood what the other was thinking.

Now that Cao Cao is unconscious, if the food and grass of the army are cut off by someone with a heart, then the lives of the crown prince and Ning Rong will be in jeopardy!

……

"Father! Where is Father?"

But at this moment, only the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

I didn't expect that there were so many caring people, and they came so soon.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao!"

As Cao Pi stepped into the hall, the civil and military ministers saluted one after another.

"Master Xun, how is the father?" Cao Pi turned a blind eye to everyone, but his eyes lit up when he saw Xun Yu, and he asked eagerly as he walked three steps in two.

"Don't worry, King Zhao, the imperial physician is treating His Majesty, and the old doctor Hua is also here!"

Xun Yu spoke rationally, without much emotion, and looked at Cao Pi with a more profound look.

"Huh...with the old genius doctor Hua here, I can rest assured!"

Cao Pi was talking, looking anxiously at the inner hall, but he didn't dare to go deep.

……

The dignified atmosphere permeated the entire hall. Because of Cao Pi's arrival, everyone fell silent. They were all veterans in the officialdom, and the strange feeling made them dare not act rashly.

About half an hour later, Hua Tuo and an imperial doctor came out, and everyone hurriedly surrounded them.

"How is Your Majesty?"

"Hua Lao, can the father wake up?"

Cao Pi, however, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and went directly to Hua Tuo.

"Second son, Your Majesty is already awake!" Hua Tuo knew Cao Pi at first, and when he heard the question was right, he answered truthfully.

"That's good! That's good! I don't know if this king can..."

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief, and followed up with questions.

Hua Tuo didn't reply, he was not a talkative person, turned around and glanced at the imperial doctor, left without saying a word.

"Where is the pharmacy? I need to make medicine for His Majesty."

When Xun Yu heard that Cao Cao had woken up, he was also relieved, and quickly ordered the eunuch to take Hua Tuo to fetch the medicine.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency, Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Taishicheng will see you!"

The imperial doctor felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone's fiery eyes, so he bravely said Cao Cao's oral instructions.

"Tai Shicheng?"

Cao Pi frowned, wondering why his father wanted to see Xu Zhi when he first woke up.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao..."

Tai Shi Cheng Xu Zhi was originally standing at the back, because his rank was the lowest, but now he heard what the imperial doctor said, but stepped forward.

"Since it is the father's oral order, you should go in quickly!"

Even though Cao Pi was brave, he would not dare to violate Cao Cao's oral instructions.

"Here!"

Xu Zhi saluted everyone again, then turned around and walked in, leaving everyone with envious or sighing eyes behind them.

……

"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to come and see you!" Xu Zhi cautiously came to Cao Cao's bed and knelt down on the ground.

"Hmm... who's out there?" Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, his face was pale, and his gaze was somewhat empty.

"Return to Your Majesty, the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers are all waiting outside the palace, and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is also there!"

Xu Zhi lowered her head, not daring to look at Cao Cao, and pretended to be careful while speaking.
