" This..." Liu Xie was stunned. He felt helpless. Unfortunately, Cao Cao's gaze was like a knife as he glared at him.
He only dared to lower his head and not look straight at her.
Although this sharp gaze only lasted for a moment, it made Emperor Xian feel as if he was walking on thin ice.
"This child's strategy and courage are almost on par with my strategists, and he is also favored by Jingzhou's Liu Biao, who brought him a plan to open up wasteland.”
Cao Cao's voice sank as he stared at Emperor Xian,""The so-called official position is just a legitimate shell that can display one's talent. Why should we investigate whether this person is a nine-year-old child or an eighty-year-old man?”
"Only those who are capable can obtain results regardless of where they come from.”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xian slowly calmed down. If he thought about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable. He raised his head and looked at the child.
He still looked calm and composed. There was almost no panic. He bowed slightly and smiled.
Even when he saw the emperor, he was not afraid.
He didn't even kneel.
Liu Xie took a deep breath and said to Cao Cao,""Let's discuss it again. My dear minister, you're an official at the age of nine. Moreover, you're a general of the agriculture department. Isn't that handing over half of the internal affairs of our capital to this child?”
And a child from Jing State? Liu Xie also muttered in his heart, have you gone mad, Cao Cao, to actually trust a person from Jing state so much?
Aren't they afraid of being spies?
When Liu Xie said this, the entire hall fell silent. It was so quiet that one could clearly hear a pin drop. The scene was very awkward.
Cao Cao clasped his hands behind his back and took a few steps forward. He stared into Emperor Xian's eyes and smiled." Oh, there's something I forgot to tell Your Majesty.”
Liu Xie was stunned.”
Cao Cao cleared his throat and lowered his voice. He moved closer to Emperor Xian and said softly,""After I took down Yuan Shao's camp, when I was cleaning up the remnants of his camp, I found hundreds of bamboo scrolls. On them, it was written that they were secretly communicating with Yuan Shao and expressing their submission. I haven't read them yet.”
"Scared?"
Liu Xie slipped and almost fell on the dragon throne. He wanted to stand up but did not dare to. Then he stammered,"This, this…"
Of course, he knew that some of the old officials of the Han Dynasty who had followed Li Jue and Guo Si had originally wanted to be friendly with Yuan Shao so that he could treat them well after he conquered Cao Cao.
Although Liu Xie had never read those letters, it was hard to guarantee that they would mention it in the letters. If that was the case, it would probably anger Cao Cao.
" My dear minister, I suddenly feel…" Liu Xie's eyes turned and his face turned red, but he forced himself to say,""If a nine-year-old child can be an official and make the best use of everyone, it will be a good story.”
"Oh? Is that so?" Cao Cao smiled at him.
"Naturally, Huang Lin!"
"This servant is here!" Huang Lin hurriedly went forward to kneel.
"Order the Imperial Censor to write an article and confer Zhou Buyi the title of General of Agriculture. He will be rewarded with 200 gold and ten mu of fertile land.”
"It's already written." Xun Yu stood up and took out an imperial edict from his sleeve. He handed it to Liu Xie. On his table was the Imperial Seal that he had obtained from Yuan Shu.
On it is written that he is ordered by heaven to live forever.
Because it was missing a corner, there would be some traces when it was covered. It was both a historical allusion and a way to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood.
With the imperial edict, from now on, Zhou Buyi was the general in charge of agriculture in Xu Capital.
His place of governance was next to the inn in the inner city and the inn was a place where talented people would often pass by. Originally, Zhou Buyi wanted to promote people to official positions.
However, if that was the case, it might bring unease to Cao Cao. No matter what, the favorable impression had to be slowly cultivated.
It would be a little rude to ask for a high official from the beginning, and an official that could affect one's roots.
It was already a big step for him to be able to become a Vice General of Agriculture.
This was because they were Han officials, not Wei officials.
In other words, Zhou Buyi was the same as Cao Cao. They were both officials of the Han Dynasty and their leader was Emperor Xian.
This immediately separated him from Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and the others. They were all Cao Cao's subjects, while Zhou Buyi was a subject of the Han Dynasty.
There were good and bad things in this section.
You have received the official position of "General of the Law of Agriculture", Internal Affairs 5, Law of Agriculture Gift Pack x1 (This reward can only be used once)
What? Big gift bag!
This time, Zhou Buyi was extremely surprised. In the past, all he got were attributes. He did not expect to get such a big gift bag after taking a big step forward.
"Alright, now that the official position has been decided, I'll get someone to send the official robes to your residence later. Tomorrow, when you're done with your work, come to Sikong residence for a meal. I'll bring you to meet my Chong-er.”
Cao Cao patted Zhou Buyi's head lovingly and laughed.
You have gained Cao Cao's favor. Charm 1, Affinity 5, Skin Color 1.
Alright, skin color.
Zhou Buyi was already too lazy to complain about this skin color.
After bidding farewell to Cao Cao, he got into the carriage that came with him and looked at Huang Yueying and Sister Peach who were sitting in the carriage.
She immediately pouted and threw herself into their arms with a sobbing tone, rubbing her face against them.
"Wow! It's too difficult for me. Sisters, sob!!!”
"Ah?" Sister Peach was stunned for a moment. Then, she revealed a gentle gaze and gently stroked Zhou Buyi's head." What's wrong, Little Lord?"”
"Humph! I'm only nine years old, yet I have to bear the pressure that I shouldn't at my age. It's so difficult for me…"
" Oh my god…" Huang Yueying smiled bitterly and placed her hand on Zhou Buyi's back." It's okay, it's okay. There's always a way."”
"Wow!" Zhou Buyi threw himself into Huang Yueying's arms again and shouted,""I don't care. I want to take a shower with my sisters tonight and sleep together! Otherwise, I'll collapse!"
Huang Yueying's face was flushed red.
"I really can't do anything to you…" Sister Peach shook her head with a bitter smile.
