The next day, it was time for the court meeting.
The civil and military officials realized that the number of colleagues waiting outside the hall had decreased, and they couldn't help but tremble in fear.
Guan Yu, on the other hand, was led into the court by Xu Huang with a dumbfounded expression. Although he was not immediately executed, the prison break was under the watchful eyes of everyone, so there was no need for a trial.
Not to mention that he was guilty, even if he was not guilty, with his mere position as a commandant, he was not qualified to go to court.
Not to mention that he was summoned by the emperor.
"Guilty subject Guan Yu greets Your Majesty."
Guan Yu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not daring to look up.
Cao Cao crossed his arms and looked at Liu Xie.
This gaze caused Liu Xie's entire body to tremble.
"General Guan, please rise!"
Liu Xie suddenly stood up and quickly walked down the hall. He personally helped Guan Yu up,""General Guan is a hero of the country, there is no need to do this.”
Guan Yu was speechless.
"I fear."
Guan Yu found it hard to believe. He didn't know whether to kneel or stand up.
"General Guan, quickly get up."
Liu Xie's voice was clear and genuine. After helping Guan Yu up, he sighed,""Zhen knows that Dong Cheng faked my order to General Guan, which was why General Guan was able to break Liu Bei out of prison.”
"General was only bewitched by others. In the end, you are loyal to the Great Han and loyal to me. What crime do you have?”
As the person in charge, Liu Xie naturally knew what had happened.
When Guan Yu heard this, he widened his red phoenix eyes and said to Liu Xie,""Lord Dong, you passed down a false imperial edict?"
"It's not just a fake imperial edict!"
Liu Xie flung his python robe and revealed an angry expression."I have checked the genealogy of the six sects, but there is no Liu Bei's name! He pretended to be from the Imperial Family and colluded with Dong Cheng with the goal of subverting my Great Han Dynasty!”
"The Imperial Ancestral Temple officials have also investigated. The person who changed the genealogy was Dong Cheng!”
"This?"
Guan Yu felt his head turn into mush as he looked at Liu Xie.
The person in front of him was the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Was there a need to lie to him?
Without waiting for Guan Yu to ask, Cao Cao stepped forward and snorted,""Your Majesty, so what if Guan Yu was bewitched by that scoundrel Dong Cheng? He disregarded the law and broke into the prison in broad daylight. If he was not beheaded, how could the dead soldiers rest in peace?!”
Hearing this, Guan Yu closed his eyes in pain.
"Prime Minister Cao is right."
"Your Majesty, please seek justice for the dead soldiers!" Cheng Yu echoed in a clear voice.”
"Your Majesty, I also believe that Guan Yu should be beheaded!”
"Your Majesty!"
“……”
Liu Xie was speechless.
Brother, can you inform me that you're changing the script in advance?
The voices of all the officials echoed in Guan Yu's ears, constantly eroding his heart until two streams of tears fell.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have objections!”
The moment Guo Jia opened his mouth, all the civil and military officials present were instantly dumbfounded.
As the chief strategist of the Cao Group, he basically represented Cao Cao.
How could they not know?
Previously, with regards to Liu Bei, he had done the opposite!
Now?
"Oh?"
Liu Xie's reaction was extremely fast. He quickly added,""Minister Cao, Chancellor Guo has always been meticulous and thoughtful, why don't you listen to his suggestion?”
"This subject will obey!"
Cao Cao replied expressionlessly.
The ministers also gradually quieted down. They could not figure out what was going on, so they temporarily gave up on their cheerleading side job.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister!"
"Firstly, the soldiers are already dead. Even if we kill Guan Yu, it will be useless.”
"Moreover, he is also acting under the orders of the emperor. If we behead him in public, wouldn't it be embarrassing for His Majesty?!”
"To make the world curse His Majesty for being…a fatuous ruler?!”
"@_@?!"
Guo Fengxiao, you're scolding me in a roundabout way?!
"I spoke nonsense. Your Majesty, please punish me.”
Guo Jia bowed and apologized.
"Chancellor Guo was blunt, how could Zhen blame him?!”
Liu Xie maintained his smile and said with the attitude of a sage,""Moreover, if I really kill General Guan, it wouldn't be too much to call him a 'fatuous king'.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Guo Jia put on a fake smile and continued,"Secondly, General Guan is a loyal and loyal person. The reason why he was bewitched by Liu Bei is because Liu Bei regards himself as the orthodox Han Dynasty. His essence is to serve the Great Han Imperial Family!”
"As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty."
"The Imperial Court is in dire need of manpower. General Guan has the courage to kill Hua Xiong with warm wine and defeat Lu Bu with Tiger Cage. Why not let General Guan atone for his sins?!”
"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to pardon General Guan for his ignorance!”
Guo Jia's expression was extremely sincere, and his heart was as bright as the sun and the moon.
Guo Yun watched from the side and felt admiration in his heart.
Even if this brother of his wasn't an Oscar winner, he was definitely an emperor in Cannes.
"Chancellor Guo, you're praising me too much!"
Guan Yu cupped his fists, but he did not dare to face Guo Jia directly, as if he was too ashamed to face him.
"Minister Cao…"
Liu Xie called out.
Cao Cao's eyes rolled around, but he still remained silent.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report first!”
Cao Ren walked out from the group of generals." I'm afraid that the Qiang Hu will make some strange moves. Now that Yuan Shao has the help of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, if he and the Qiang Hu attack us, I'm afraid…Xuchang will fall as well!"”
" What?!"
"This Yuan Shao actually dares to conspire with the Outsiders?”
"What should we do?"
When the ministers heard Cao Ren's words, they exploded.
"Is he, Yuan Benchu, crazy?"
Cao Cao's expression was furious, and his tiger eyes looked as if he was going to eat someone alive.
Liu Xie took three steps and waved his hand to signal the ministers to stop their discussion. He sighed sadly and said,"Yuan Shao dared to send Liu Bei to overthrow the Great Han Dynasty, so what's so strange about him joining forces with the Outsiders?!”
In order to protect Concubine Dong and Long Zi, Liu Xie had gone all out.
"Prime Minister Cao!"
"Minister Cao!"
"I beg you, for the sake of the people of Great Han, let go of your prejudice against General Guan!”
"Let General Guan do something for me, for the Great Han Empire, and for the people of this world, okay?!”
Boom!
Guan Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Xie, whose eyes were wet. He had never thought that he would receive such an honor. The emperor had pleaded for him!
This?
Instantly, Guan Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart and his eyes turned red.
"This subject will obey!"
Cao Cao lowered his head and replied," Guan Yu, don't waste His Majesty's efforts. If there is a next time, I, Cao Cao, will tear you apart!"”
As he spoke, Cao Cao clutched his chest and pleaded with an uncomfortable expression,"I suddenly feel unwell. Your Majesty, please allow me to return to the residence to recuperate!”
"Minister Cao's health is more important.”
As soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, Cao Cao flung his robe and walked towards the main hall angrily without even looking at Guan Yu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. I will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty and die!”
As he spoke, Guan Yu kowtowed to Liu Xie.
"Good!"
"Zhen believes that Zhen will not misjudge people!”
"Guan Yu, listen up. I hereby confer upon you the title of North General, commanding the army.”
"Now that the world is in turmoil, General Guan should assist General Guo in recovering the mountains and rivers and pacifying the chaotic world!”
Guo Yun was speechless.
What trick?
Guo Yun was dumbfounded. Why did you suddenly give me the arrogant Guan Yunzhang?
Wasn't he looking for trouble?
Even Zhuge Kongming had spent a lot of effort to subdue this fellow. Guo Yun did not want such a thorn in his side.
"I will definitely not let down Your Majesty's trust and assist General Guo. I will die even if I have to!”
Guan Yu repeatedly kowtowed to thank him!
"Rise!"
After saying that, Liu Xie looked at Guo Yun's position and was immediately dumbfounded. He asked in confusion,"Where's General Guo? Didn't you go to court?"
Xun Yu was speechless.
Cheng Yu was speechless.
Xun You,"(^o^)/"
Some of the officials who were familiar with Guo Yun's behavior looked at Guo Jia with strange expressions.
This joke was a little too big!
"Your Majesty, General Guo is worried that Prime Minister Cao's body can't support it, so…"
Guo Jia braced himself and found an excuse."After all, General Guo is Prime Minister Cao's future son-in-law, and this was personally bestowed by His Majesty…"
Liu Xie was speechless.
