Great Wei Nengchen

"Woo! ... Woo! Woo!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, horns whistled, dust was flying, and under the protection of the "tiger and leopard riders", the prime minister's chariot appeared. Looking around, there were swords and guns like forests, flags like clouds, and the army array was like overwhelming mountains and rivers. It was so majestic. !

In the middle of the procession, there is a chariot with four horses driving a shaft. The wheels are six feet high and the compartment is one foot wide. It is covered with animal skins and iron plates outside. Six feet wide, with a large "Cao" character in the middle, swinging from side to side, commanding the three armies!

There is a person sitting in the car, with a golden helmet, a golden armor, an apricot robe, a big red cloak on the outside, and a green sword in his hand. His face is as sinking as water, and his momentum is like a mountain.

A chariot of four horses must have participation. On the right side of Cao Cao, stands the 'tiger idiot' - Xu Chu, wearing a heavenly king helmet, wearing iron armor, holding a serrated sword, like a fierce god, and on the left is his beloved son Cao Zhi, White clothes like snow, personable!

Such a domineering combination can't help but create an illusion... The supreme emperor Dongyue is on a tour, accompanied by a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, looking down on the world, the king is in the nine heavens!

"My lord, the army is mighty, invincible in the world!"

"My lord prime minister -- to assist Sheji, the sun and the moon will shine!"

................................................

Before the car came to a complete stop, all the ministers rushed forward. Those with high official positions bowed and saluted, singing praises, while those with low official positions knelt on the ground, worshiping three times and buckling nine times. They were so respectful that they could not be more respectful. Years old!"

All the ministers bowed their knees because of their guilty conscience. On the night of the coup, the situation in the city was in chaos. Many people secretly colluded with the rebels and planned to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion together. They were just timid and did not dare to do anything!

Now that Cao Cao is back, he must search for the remnants, clean up the court, and slaughter the knife in one fell swoop. I don’t know how many people’s heads fell. How can the civil and military officials not be afraid? Now I’m giving you a good compliment. I hope that Cao Cao will show mercy and let himself live!

"Free of charge!... Enter the city!"

On the chariot, Cao Cao's face sank like water, and he ignored the flattery of his officials. Political struggles are like this. The winner is a prince, and the loser is a bandit.

After driving into the city, Cao Cao didn't go back directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but walked around the street first, looking at the houses destroyed by the fire, and the traces left by the war, Cao Cao's face became more gloomy, and his murderous eyes kept scanning the direction of the palace , "Liu's child is disobedient, it's time to beat him up, or change to someone who is obedient!"

...............................................................................................................

"Pay homage to my father-Wan Fu Jin An!"

In front of the gate of Xiangfu, Cao Pi bowed on his knees and greeted his father's car. His task was to guard the Xiangfu and monitor the officials. Before the order was withdrawn, he could not step out of Xuchang City Gate!

The prime minister's mansion was besieged by the rebels, under the sword, it was dilapidated, even the gate was burned, leaving only a scorched door frame with traces of swords and swords on it, which shows how tragic the war was!

Looking at Cao Pi again, his clothes are ragged, his armor is broken, his little face is dark, and his whole body exudes a mixed smell of fireworks, blood, and sweat, which is extremely pungent. With this honor, let alone the second son of the Xiangfu, even if he is put into a beggar In the group, he is also a third-class citizen!

In contrast, Cao Zhi in the car looked quite different, with fluttering long hair, white clothes like snow, and a spotless body. Coupled with his handsome face and elegant temperament, he really looked like a fairy!

"My son... it's a good place to look!"

Looking at the handsome Cao Zhi, and then at Cao Pi who was kneeling on the ground in a state of embarrassment, Cao Cao's eyes flickered, but his tone was extremely flat, as if he was blaming, but also as if he was praising... Housekeeping - is to keep the business, but also a kind of Skill!

After entering the mansion, Cao Cao summoned the four great counselors without taking off his armor. At the same time, Xu Chu led thousands of "tiger and leopard riders" and sealed off the inside and outside of the prime minister's mansion, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving!

"Meet the Prime Minister!"

After a while, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You came one after another, bowed and saluted, waiting for the prime minister's inquiry!

"This old man is in the palm of his hand and has power all over the world. How is he compared to Huo Guang, the famous Prime Minister of his generation?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't ask about government affairs or military situation, but compared with Huo Guang, a single thoughtless remark scared the four advisers into a cold sweat!

Huo Guang is the half-brother of Huo Qubing, the 'God of War'.

However, the most powerful thing about Huo Guang is not that he has been the prime minister for 20 years, but that he has done a shocking and weeping thing-deposing the emperor!

In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died of illness. Before his death, he made Liu Fuling the crown prince. Huo Guang was granted the title of Grand Sima by the imperial edict, and became the assistant minister of the new emperor.

Thirteen years later, Emperor Zhao died of illness. Because he had no son, Huo Guang supported Liu He, the king of Changyi, as emperor. However, this lucky man was not up to the mark, because he was eager to fight for power, and was deposed after 13 days in office. Huo Guang changed Liu Xun, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu, to become Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!

The three dynasties were ministers, and the emperor was abolished. With this glorious deed, Huo Guang became a famous powerful minister in history, and also became the target of countless heroes to emulate. Who wouldn't want to "steal the sky and change the sun"!

Now that Cao Cao compares himself to Huo Guang, the four advisers immediately understood that the prime minister is not praising his power and status, but he wants to imitate this senior and dethrone the emperor!

"It must not be done. Since the prime minister raised his army, he has served the emperor at the top and punished his ministers at the bottom. It is justified. This has achieved a lot of hegemony. How can he destroy his reputation and be punished by others... Besides, the emperor is young. A small mistake is also bewitched by traitors, you only need to advise with loyalty and advice, and you can't make false statements!"

Xun Yu and Xun You knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and soon their foreheads were bright red. They were really scared. With Cao Cao's wisdom, prestige, and strength, they wanted to dethrone the emperor overnight!

"Prime Minister, think twice, now that the princes are divided like a tiger, the hearts of the world have not surrendered, once the dethroning is done, I am afraid that the world will boil and bring the disaster of swords and soldiers!

Furthermore, when today's son is the orthodox Han Dynasty, who can take over after he is dethroned? There are many clansmen in the Han Dynasty, so I am afraid that they will compete to emulate each other and establish emperor titles! "

Guo Jia also opposed the dethroning of the emperor, but he was not loyal to Han, but loyal to Cao, and he made a precise analysis of the pros and cons of deposing the emperor!

First of all, when the emperor was deposed, the princes from all walks of life must use this as an excuse to send troops to crusade. The Caoying Group is as strong as a tiger, and it can't hold back the princes in the world are as many as wolves. This is a military disadvantage!

Secondly, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has only two sons, and the young emperor Liu Bian is already dead. If Liu Xie is deposed, the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty will be gone. ah!

In addition, the princes are not fools. There are many clansmen in the Han Dynasty, including Liu Biao and Liu Bei... If you set up one, I will also set up one. Anyway, they are not royal orthodox, and no one can suppress anyone. In this way, Cao Cao can no longer 'coerce the emperor to order the princes', this is a political disadvantage!

"What the prime minister thinks, what the ministers worry about, even if there are thousands of dangers and obstacles, as long as you make an order, you can do anything!"

Cheng Yu's words are the simplest, but the content is very rich. What he means is that it is very difficult and troublesome to dethrone the emperor... But, as long as the prime minister gives an order, I am willing to do it with all my might!

The person who said this is not a loyal minister, not a straight minister, but a thorough-fool!

Of the four counselors, two desperately opposed, one spoke out to advise, and the other said it was difficult. Cao Cao couldn't help hesitating. On the one hand, the time is indeed immature to depose the emperor now.

On the other hand, Cao Cao is also worried. Huo Guangquan is overbearing and overbearing. Just after he died of illness, he was wiped out by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Similarly, after his death, can the Cao family be spared? It is better to act first. !

"Report to the Prime Minister, Concubine Cao returned to the mansion to visit relatives, and brought a lot of rewards, and the emperor's decree: reward meritorious officials, add Jiuxi..." While hesitating, Xu Chu's voice came from outside the door, announcing an important news!

Jiuxi - is the ritual vessel given by the emperor to meritorious ministers, namely: chariots and horses, clothes, musical instruments, Zhuhu, Nabi, tigers, axes, bows and arrows, and scorpions!

Adding Jiuxi is the greatest honor of a courtier. Now Liu Xie took it out to signal Cao Cao... "I am young and ignorant, and I have made your old man unhappy. Jiuxi presents it. I hope your lord has a lot, forgive me." My fault!"

"Hehe, what a powerful move, the needle is hidden in the cotton, the name is Jiajiuxi, but it is actually praised and killed. There are capable people in the palace!" Cao Cao thought for a while, and immediately understood the powerful relationship!

Everyone in Jiuxi wants it, and Cao Cao is no exception. However, the time is not ripe. If he insists on it, not only will it not be beneficial, but it will attract criticism from all over the world. Besides, although Jiuxi is good, it is a false name. The most important thing is actual profit!

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao accepted the gift and resigned from Jiuxi, which was to tell the emperor, "I forgive you, but I don't want to make a name for myself, let's do something practical!"

Taking advantage of this political trend, in the next few days, Cao Cao made drastic moves and did three things!

First, in order to strengthen law and order and prevent accidents, 5000 people from good families were recruited, equipped with armor, weapons, bows and arrows, and formed a "pirate hunting camp" stationed in Xuchang City, under the command of Cao Pi!

Second, mobilize 2000 'tiger and leopard riders' to guard the palace. From now on, all relatives of the emperor, ministers of civil and military affairs, will not be allowed to enter the palace without the order of the prime minister, and anyone who violates the order - beheaded!

Third, taking advantage of the panic among civil and military officials, Cao Cao decided to issue another "seeking talents order" to recruit children from poor families to serve as officials in the court, further weakening the power of the noble families!

At the same time, news came out in the palace that Concubine Dong, who was more than four months pregnant, had an accidental cold, and the treatment was ineffective - she died!

"Hehe!...Taking retreat as an advance, exchanging falsehoods for reals, setting off a big fire, and making a mess of civil and military affairs in the court, the prime minister is really good at tricks, and he has practiced the way of stratagem with great proficiency!"
