Chapter 0337 Cao Cao and Yuan Shao’s rewards, Liu Xie’s despair!!

After Cao Cao’s convoy entered Chang’an City, they arrived at Cao Cao’s mansion under the guidance of the people arranged by Gu Chang’an.

This was a mansion prepared for Cao Cao in advance, just a temporary residence.

If Cao Cao was not satisfied, he could buy a larger and more luxurious mansion on his own.

Gu Chang’an had already brought the three sisters of the Cao family back to his general’s mansion.

The beautiful brides of the general’s mansion had already heard about Gu Chang’an marrying the three sisters.

So they were not surprised.

Their husbands always brought back a few beautiful brides when they went out.

This was already a consensus in their minds.

After returning to Chang’an City,

Gu Chang’an immediately started working.

However, Cao Cao and others had a few days of rest, and they needed to settle their families.

As time passed, it was finally the day to go to court.

The morning sun rose, and the golden roof of the Weiyang Palace shone in the morning light.

In the Chongde Hall, the court officials were dressed in court robes, standing in the hall with different expressions, waiting for the morning court to begin.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Biao, led by Gu Changan, walked into the hall.

Although their steps were steady, their eyes revealed their expectations and nervousness for the upcoming rewards.

Gu Changan was wearing court robes, a jade belt tied around his waist, and he was majestic.

He stood in front of the hall, his eyes like torches, scanning the civil and military officials in the court.

Those important officials who were once powerful now lowered their eyebrows and dared not look directly at him.

Cao Cao and others only then saw the power of Gu Changan.

Gu Changan even hung a long sword on his waist, but no one dared to question it.

His appearance made the already depressing atmosphere even more solemn.

The court officials avoided him one after another.

But they couldn’t help but look at Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Biao.

Some of their eyes were filled with awe, some with doubt, and some with deep worry.

“”Your Majesty has arrived!”

A loud voice rang out.

Emperor Liu Xie, accompanied by several eunuchs, slowly walked into the hall.

He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, but his expression seemed a little listless.

His eyes stayed on Gu Changan for a moment, then hurriedly moved away, as if he didn’t dare to look him in the eye.

There was a hint of helplessness and worry in his eyes.

He knew very well that the court was now in name only.

He, the emperor, was just a puppet.

But what could he do?

Gu Changan’s power was too great, and he couldn’t shake it at all.

“”Your Majesty!”

All the ministers shouted in unison, and the sound echoed in the hall.

Gu Changan only bowed symbolically.

“”Everyone, stand up!”

Emperor Liu Xie turned a blind eye.

A eunuch beside him stepped forward and shouted:

“If you have something to report, please stand up and report it. If you don’t, please leave the court!”

Gu Chang’an stepped forward and shouted loudly:”I have a report to report!” Liu Xie hurriedly said:”My dear minister, please tell me if you have something to report!”

Gu Chang’an smiled slightly, stepped forward and said:”Your Majesty, we have fulfilled your mission and have pacified the world!”

“Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou!”

“Some of them are wise and righteous, some of them have turned to the light, and they have all made contributions to the country!”

“I have come here today to ask for titles, and I hope Your Majesty will grant my approval!”

The titles for Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao had already been decided.

However, the titles for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had not yet been decided.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie nodded slightly and said,”Since they have made great contributions, they should be rewarded together!”

For Liu Xie, he was eager to give Cao Cao and Yuan Shao titles.

In his heart, he always believed that he was standing with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Although Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have surrendered to Gu Changan,

Liu Xie believed that they must have surrendered to Gu Changan on the surface, but their hearts were full of reluctance and fear.

After all, they were defeated by Gu Changan and their foundation was taken away.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao were not the same.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao gave up their own foundations to flatter Gu Changan.

Especially Liu Biao, he was actually a relative of the Han Dynasty.

It was really unfair to the ancestors of the Liu family.

“Everyone, I don’t know how to reward the Cao family and the Yuan family?”

The voice of Emperor Liu Xie echoed in the hall.

His eyes swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at Gu Changan. Gu Changan smiled slightly, stepped forward and said

“Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, made great contributions in suppressing the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. In the end, he came to his senses and saved the entire Yanzhou from falling into war!”

“I believe that Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, has done more good than bad and should be heavily rewarded!”

“I suggest that the court reward Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, with the title of Marquis Zhi, with a fief of 4,000 households!”

“In addition, the post of the governor of Yanzhou can be resigned, and another post can be given to him as one of the nine ministers, the Minister of Agriculture!”

Gu Changan’s voice fell.

There was an uproar in the court.

However, no one objected for the time being.

Because there was still Yuan Shao’s reward, which Gu Changan had not mentioned yet.

Gu Changan paused for a moment and continued to speak

“Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, also made great contributions to the imperial court. In the end, he came to his senses and returned to the right path, allowing Jizhou to smoothly return to the control of the imperial court!”

“I suggest that the court reward Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, with the title of Marquis of Ye, and grant him a fief of 2,000 households!”

“In addition, the post of Jizhou Mu can be resigned, and another official post can be granted as Shaofu, one of the Nine Ministers!”

When Yuan Shao heard Gu Changan’s words, he was relieved.

Although his reward was not as good as Cao Cao’s, he was also considered an important official in the court.

Obviously, Gu Changan did not break his promise.

Liu Xie found something wrong at this time.

Gu Changan’s reward to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was too heavy.

Liu Xie had a terrible idea in his mind.

Could it be that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had completely turned to Gu Changan?

Could it be that they did not hate Gu Changan for taking away their foundation?

Could it be that Cao Cao and Gu Changan were willing to marry?

Liu Xie felt dizzy.

He shook and was supported by the eunuch next to him.

He found that he had underestimated Gu Changan again.

If big princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were completely submissive,

Liu Xie could no longer see where his future was.

Not to mention regaining power.

Being able to live in peace is probably a luxury.
