Huang Wan was scared out of her wits. She pointed at Zhang Wu while trembling,"Man…Barbarian, don't tell me you still want to be a tyrant!”
Zhang Wu casually placed the Azure Melon Sword on Huang Wan's shoulder and said,"This sword of mine has yet to drink blood, but it was able to kill a Grand Commandant the first time it was drawn. It can be considered that his reputation has not been buried.”
"Marquis Champion, don't be impudent!”Cao Cao finally arrived late and strode into the main hall. Behind him, Dian Wei stood outside the palace gate with a pair of iron halberds on his shoulders, causing the ministers to tremble in fear.
Zhang Wu didn't want to kill the old and weak, and he only wanted to establish his authority.
With a clang, the azure sword returned to its sheath.
Zhang Wu returned to his original position and stood still. He immediately closed his eyes to rest, his soul wandering beyond the heavens.
Liu Xie was also frightened. The task given by Boss Cao was considered to have been successfully completed. What happened next had little to do with him.
Zhang Wu was indeed not good at politics.
At this moment, his thoughts had already drifted back to the General's Estate, recalling the graceful figures of the orioles and swallows.
Cao Cao came to the right and stood still. He glanced at the officials and cupped his hands at the emperor,""Your Majesty, we can begin the court session.”
How could Liu Xie dare to exercise his authority as the emperor? He replied in fear,""Still... Prime Minister, please preside over it."
"Then this lowly subject will not refuse." Cao Cao waved his long sleeves and walked up the stairs, standing beside Liu Xie.
At this moment, a palace servant came out and shouted,"All officials pay their respects to the emperor, kneel!"”
All the ministers in the hall knelt down. Only Zhang Wu remained standing proudly. It was unknown if he was asleep or if he did not hear clearly.
Cao Cao pretended not to see it, and the others did not dare to speak.
Zhang Wu had always acted according to his preferences. He dared to draw his sword and kill people without saying a word. First, there was the example of the late General Yang Feng, and then there was the almost tragic death of Grand Marshal Huang Wan.
There was no major event in the court meeting.
The main purpose of this court meeting was to use the Emperor's power to reward his own direct descendants.
Before, he was only a cavalry commandant. If his subordinates followed him, they would at most be given a false position. Now that he had the emperor in his hands, it was completely different.
Everyone was rewarded. Even Li Jue, who had just joined, had benefited from Zhang Wu and was promoted to the same rank as Lu Bu.
The court session finally ended when Zhang Wu's legs were numb from standing.
In history, the first thing Cao Cao did after welcoming Liu Xie was to grant him the title of duke. The first thing he did was to give the position of general to Yuan Shao.
At that time, Yuan Shao was very powerful, and Cao Cao had to try his best to win him over. But now, the tables had turned. Cao Cao had obtained 30,000 flying bears, Yang Feng's old subordinates, the entire population of Chang 'an and Luoyang, and the wealth left behind by Dong Zhuo. He was not afraid of Yuan Benchu in Hebei at all.
Not only did he not win Yuan Shao over, he even used the Emperor's mouth to issue an imperial edict of blame to Yuan Shao." He asked Yuan Shao to take the post of prefect of Bohai Sea and concurrently serve as the herdsman of Jizhou.
Zhang Wu found it interesting, but he didn't think much of it.
The weather was getting colder as the end of the year approached. It was almost winter, and it was time for the families to stop fighting and lick their wounds.
At this time, even if Boss Cao really pointed at Yuan Shao's nose and scolded the other party's ancestors, it was impossible for the two sides to really fight.
"Ziqian, walk slowly. There's no rush to hug a beauty when we get home.”
Zhang Wu turned around and saw Cao Cao leading Dian Wei to catch up with him.
Cao Cao stepped forward and patted Zhang Wu's shoulder.""The weather is getting colder and colder. How about we call Zilian and Zixiao over to my residence for a few drinks?”
Zhang Wu cupped his fists and said,"The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty has invited me. How can I refuse?”
Cao Cao laughed and scolded," I didn't even realize that you had learned to be so talkative. What Prime Minister? My ambition is not here. My dream is only after death..."
Zhang Wu obviously knew what Cao Cao wanted to say, but he interrupted him and said seriously,"I have gained the lord's appreciation. I am ashamed to be conferred the title of marquis and general when I am young. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to help you achieve your future.”
Cao Cao had always harbored a vague fantasy about the Great Han, or else he would not have died without claiming the title of Emperor.
Zhang Wu didn't want Boss Cao to be so hot-headed and learn from Huo Guang just because of his appearance.
Moreover, Huo Guang's final outcome was right there. He had the reputation of a famous official for thousands of years. It was a pity that not a single person in his family survived. His entire family was killed. This was the price of being a powerful official.
Zhang Wu's words were a reminder to Cao Cao," I'm not even twenty years old yet, and you've already elevated me to a high position. You're already exercising the power of an emperor. Don't fantasize about living peacefully with the Great Han Dynasty. Just honestly think about how to conquer the world and be crowned emperor.
"Hahaha, forget about the state affairs. Let's drink, let's drink!”
Cao Cao immediately ordered people to invite Cao Ren and Cao Hong to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Together with Zhang Wu and Dian Wei, there were a total of four people to hold a banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The host and guest sat down, and the servants served wine and delicacies.
The atmosphere in Cao Cao's house was harmonious, and children could be seen running and playing in the courtyard.
Zhang Wu was curious about how Dian Wei's family was doing. It was almost winter, and it was too difficult for the widow and the child to live in the mountains. He asked,""Brother Zhuhu, where are sister-in-law and Ah Man now?”
"My lord has rewarded me with a large mansion. I have already brought my son and my wife to Xuchang.”
"That's good. I'll definitely pay you a visit another day.”
Dian Wei shook his head and drank his wine indifferently."We're brothers, so there's no need for such complicated etiquette. You can go to my place whenever you want.”
Just as they were talking, a child in the courtyard shot a small arrow at the table.
Cao Cao's face darkened. Just as he was about to scold Zhang Wu, he saw a young man who was about the same age as Zhang Wu. He grabbed the child and stood behind him. He cupped his hands and apologized,"Please forgive me, my younger brother is young and Cao Ang did not take good care of him.”
Cao Cao's expression softened a little. He pointed at the young man and introduced him to Zhang Wu,"This is my eldest son, Cao Ang, also known as Zi Xiu. He has been familiar with military books since he was young and is good at archery. The younger one is my second son, Cao Pi. He is very naughty and can't be polished.”
The true founder of Wei, Cao Pi, was not worthy of being carved? Zhang Wu treated it as a joke.
However, because of his appearance, Zhang Xiu had already been trampled to death by the red steed, and Jia Xu had surrendered in advance.
Without the Battle of Wancheng, Dian Wei and Cao Ang were naturally spared. If Cao Ang did not die, would Cao Pi still be able to succeed the throne?
Zhang Wu suddenly showed a strong interest in Cao Ang.
"System, scan Cao Ang."
Name: Cao Ang
[Strength: 74]
[Commander: 62]
Intelligence: 84
Political Affairs: 81
[Skills: 1. Pure Filial Piety: When going out with Cao Cao, strength 2, commander 2, resourcefulness 2.]
Zhang Wu clicked his tongue in wonder. The other skills were fine, but what the hell was this skill? Was it Father Control?
He had heard of brother complex, younger brother complex, and younger sister complex. This was the first time Zhang Wu had seen such a father-complex person.
Cao Ang was still young, after all, and there was still room for improvement. Of course, he might not be able to catch up to Cao Cao in this lifetime, but it was more than enough to be a qualified ruler.
At the very least, a filial person couldn't be too bad. After all, filial piety was the most important virtue.
During the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang had abandoned his horse to save his father, but he had lost his life because of it. Zhang Wu did not believe that such a person would become a tyrant.
In the future, Great Wei would be filled with talents. As long as it wasn't a tyrant with great ambition and empty talent, even a pig sitting in that position could become a wise ruler.
"Zixiu, this is the Marquis Champion you've been wanting to meet," Cao Cao said.”
