To be honest, Cai Yong was really in a difficult situation and wanted to stop.

But when he thought that he had not done anything for his virtuous son-in-law since he became Minister of Rites, he felt extremely guilty.

Isn't it just cheeky?

I'm going to go all out today.

"The old man is the Minister of Rites of Yangzhou, responsible for arranging all the matters of the ceremony. If you insist on doing so, then we can only arrange you in an open place and read your edict by yourself!"

Cai Yong threatened solemnly.

Since soft ones are not good enough, come hard ones.

Just in case, Cai Yong could only arrange it like this.

Otherwise, who knows what the imperial edict contains?

If something goes wrong, wouldn't it make the world laugh.

It is impossible for Cai Yong to regress, so give Hua Xin a special stage and let him talk to ghosts!

"you……"

Hua Xin almost collapsed, what is an edict, someone must listen to it, Cai Yong did this, didn't he let him read the edict to the air?

"Since it is an imperial edict, it is natural to recite it in public. If you do this, you will lose face to the Marquis of Dongyang!"

Hua Xin knew very well that this was Yangzhou's territory, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he could only insist on "Dongyang Hou's face" and let Cai Yong make concessions.

Cai Yong was also stunned by Hua Xin's rogue counterattack.

"If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you, but don't think about using the imperial edict!"

Hua Xin looked at death as if he was at home. For Hua Xin, reputation was more important than life.If he bowed his head to the powerful and spread the word, Hua Xin would never want to gain a foothold in the court.

His toughness is not only for his own reputation, but also for his future future.

Dongyang Hou is also a person who cherishes his reputation. Hua Xin knows this very well, and feels more confident in his heart. Maybe the tougher he behaves, the better it will improve his status in Cao Cao's mind.

Hua Xin felt that the most correct thing she did in her life was to betray Yangzhou.

Otherwise, how could he climb to the high position of Shang Shuling?

In Yangzhou, this is an unthinkable problem.

Although Yangzhou is powerful and prosperous, you have to be valued to choose to stay here, right?

Cai Yong was also annoyed. Hua Xin, a bird man, actually said something like "he will be killed or cut", which shows that he has made up his mind not to cooperate.

Just at this moment, Dian Wei appeared.

"Cai Shangshu, why talk nonsense with him?"

Then he turned around and asked Hua Xin, "Old man, where is the holy decree?"

"You can't do this!" Hua Xin's face changed, and then he shouted loudly, "Don't you know that looting the imperial decree is a capital crime? Dongyang Marquis can't save you."

"Whether it is a capital offense or not, you don't need to worry about it. You just need to obediently take out the imperial decree, and we will leave after reading it. Do you have to suffer some pain?" Dian Wei threatened viciously.

"Wishful thinking! This is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette."

Hua Xin's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "Even if you kill this old man, you won't be able to read the imperial edict before it is officially read."

Although Xiandi has no power now, the Han Dynasty is in decline, and the princes of all walks of life proclaim themselves kings, but he is still the emperor, representing the orthodoxy of the world.

His will is sacred and inviolable to a scholar-bureaucrat like Hua Xin. Even if he sacrifices his life, he must protect it. How could he hand it over.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hua Xin thinks that Dian Wei dare not be rough on him.

Dian Wei smiled and said:

"You said what would happen to you if we stripped you of all your clothes and let you hang naked at the gate of the city? Can you continue to be a minister?"

Hua Xin's face changed, this time it was completely changed, turning pale.

If he was really stripped naked and hung at the city gate, then his face would be completely humiliated. What else could he do other than commit suicide?

What face is there to see the world?

"Hand over the imperial decree!"

Dian Wei said coldly: "Just take a look, and you won't lose a piece of meat, don't force us to do it, everyone will lose face."

Seeing that Dian Wei was aggressive, Cai Yong quickly interceded: "We are not destroying the imperial decree, but just taking a look at it. Let's see in advance how His Majesty rewards a virtuous son-in-law."

"You guys, don't think about it!" Hua Xin still said forcefully, how could he bow his head so easily.

Everyone is not a three-year-old child, so how could they be frightened by a few words.

Dian Wei was also polite, and directly asked the guards to block his view, and took off Hua Xin's coat in public.

It is autumn and winter, and the weather is still a little bit cool.

Hua Xin screamed in anger, but he couldn't match Dian Wei's strength.

"If you call again, it's better to attract the attention of the people, lest others not know that you are the naked Shang Shuling?" Dian Wei snorted coldly.

Hua Xin didn't dare to say anything, because he was really scared.
