The two of them walked out of the military camp for a long time and reached the fork in the road. They should have gone their separate ways, but Xun Yu was still following Cao Cao.
"Wen Ruo, is there anything else?"
"My lord, this Qin Chuan has the talent of a Qilin. How can we let him stay in the kitchen? Isn't this a reckless waste of a heavenly gift?”
Xun Yu said while paying attention to Cao Cao's expression.
Seeing that he did not have much of a reaction, she continued,"
"I can see that he is extremely skilled in the art of heavenly secrets. He should be sent to the Peacewest Farming Division.”
"This way, I can focus on developing the three prefectures 'agriculture and irrigation, and also have the opportunity to ask him for advice.”
Cao Cao revealed a strange smile and patted Xun Yu's shoulder."
"Wen Ruo ah, your plan is not bad, giving such a genius to you?”
"You can't say that, my lord. At least I used an ingot of gold to get such important information for my lord. You can't…"
Before Xun Yu could finish his words, Cao Cao took out the last gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xun Yu's hand.
"Take care!"
What a joke.
You want to rope in such a genius to your Department of Agriculture for 50 gold?
Right now, his position in Cao Cao's heart was no less than any strategist.
No one could have any ideas about Qin Chuan!
Although Xun Yu was a little disappointed, he thought that as long as he was still in the kitchen, he would save the questions and ask them all at once!
……
The next day, the civil and military officials stood side by side outside Chongde Hall.
With the sharp "enter court" from the chamberlain, all the officials entered the hall.
In the main hall, Liu Xie's python robe made people feel that he lacked the majesty of an emperor.
However, Cao Cao was more domineering.
After everyone paid their respects, Liu Xie moistened his throat and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.
"I heard that Minister Cao created a new farming tool called the Quyuan Plough, which increased the efficiency of reclamation by ten times.”
"This move will definitely allow the people of the Great Han Dynasty to have ample food and clothing.”
"Listen to the decree. I want to appoint Minister Cao as the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court and lead the government!”
Cao Cao raised his head in surprise, but he quickly stood in the middle of the hall and bowed.
"I, Cao Cao, thank you for your kindness!"
This was a pragmatic and ambitious person.
If he wanted to, he could not only address himself as Father Shang like Dong Zhuo, but he could also address himself as Imperial Grandfather.
However, he didn't ask for the position of Prime Minister.
Liu Xie's actions made Cao Cao suspicious.
"Alright, today's important matter is over.”
"Men, go to the ancestral temple and ask for the genealogy. Zhen wants to check the relationship between Minister Liu and Zhen.”
Liu Bei, who was already prepared, ran forward from the end of the officials and knelt on the ground without moving.
When the chamberlain went to the ancestral temple to ask for the genealogy, the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange.
Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon throne, exchanged a look with Liu Bei, who was kneeling on the ground.
The two of them had been waiting for this moment for more than ten days.
In fact, the two of them had already met in private.
Moreover, Liu Xie, who was from the royal family, had also been investigated. Liu Bei was undoubtedly his imperial uncle.
The reason why he wanted to reward Cao Cao was so that he could appoint Liu Bei to be an official with real power in another place after they recognized each other. Cao Cao, who had received a great reward, would not obstruct him.
The ministers were also rubbing their fists and getting ready to move.
For example, General Dong Cheng, who already knew the inside story, was in charge of asking for an imperial edict for Liu Bei.
How could such blatant flirtatious looks escape Cao Cao's eyes?
In an instant, he understood why the little Emperor would change her usual style and take the initiative to confer him a title.
Brother Qin was right, Liu Xie wanted to secretly cultivate his power.
The big-eared thief was really a great traitor but a loyal one. He was almost fooled by him.
"Your Majesty, before the genealogy arrives, this subject would like to ask Your Majesty, after confirming Liu Bei's royal bloodline, what position are you prepared to appoint?”
Second Liu, who was immersed in joy, looked at Cao Cao in surprise.
It was easier for him to ask about this matter than for Dong Cheng to take the initiative.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie said with a pleasant expression,
"Years of military disasters, the country is in trouble, even I have been bullied by rebels.”
"I'm afraid there aren't many of the royal relatives scattered outside.”
"Originally, I wanted to place Liu Beixing in Xudu City so that he could tell me about his ancestors.”
"But thinking about it carefully, outside of the three prefectures, there are many dukes, and the world is still in chaos. Liu Bei was skilled in martial arts. It would be a waste to place him in Xudu.”
"Perhaps he can be appointed as the herdsman of Xu Prefecture or Yangzhou Prefecture. One can share my worries, and the other can intimidate my relatives.”
After saying all this, Liu Xie did not forget to add,""What does Prime Minister think?"
As expected, Cao Cao sneered.
If it wasn't for Brother Qin's guidance behind my back, I would have really fallen for your Liushi's evil trick.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. If Your Majesty thinks it's appropriate, how would I dare to have any objections?”
Cao Cao remained calm, while Liu Bei and Liu Xie were overjoyed.
As long as Cao Cao agreed, this matter would be settled!
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. If I am blessed by the heavens and become the herdsman of Xu Prefecture or Yangzhou Prefecture, I will definitely be able to share Prime Minister Cao's worries!”
"All these years, Prime Minister Cao has swept the world and expelled the country's thieves. You've worked hard.”
"I am willing to use my head to guarantee that after taking office, there will definitely be no movements from the dukes. The prime minister can also focus on the matters of the north!”
What was licking?
This was a typical bootlicking!
In their plan, they were obviously going to cut Cao Cao into eight pieces and stew him for food, but they could say it in front of him with tears in their eyes. They were definitely capable actors.
If not for Qin Chuan, this method of sucking up to him and making him an official might have really succeeded.
But now, Cao Cao wanted nothing more than to take out the Green Melon Sword and start a massacre in this hall!
"Your Majesty, the genealogy has arrived!"
A few servants respectfully carried a piece of yellow cloth in and placed it at the foot of the hall.
"Good! Then let Dong Cheng read it out on my behalf.”
"Understood!"
Dong Cheng took the genealogy. He was already very familiar with this genealogy. After opening it, he began to read it aloud.
