October 10th.
Cheng Yu returned from Xuzhou.
After experiencing several assassination attempts by rangers on the way here.
The first thing he felt was that the atmosphere was not right. He closed the door of his residence and even rejected the visiting card of the actor.
Another day later.
Du Xi, Pei Mao, Cao Ren, and Shi Huan returned to Xuchang.
Du Xi held two positions and only returned to the Rong Manor after reporting to the Minister's Office.
At this moment.
Only then did everyone know what had happened.
In the main hall of the Rong Manor, everyone gathered in one place.
Du Xi's scalp went numb. He said," There were three waves along the way. Nearly twenty paladins tried to assassinate us. What happened in Xuchang? Why did Xun Lingjun close his residence? What happened to Zhongde?"”
"I encountered it too!"
Pei Mao frowned and said," I thought it was a debriefing, so I brought a few personal guards. If it wasn't for the iron hooves, I'm afraid something would have happened!"”
"Me too!"
Cao Ren and Shi Huan said at the same time.
Du Xi's face became more and more solemn as he said,""I'm afraid there's a big change in Xuchang, and it's even affecting us. I don't know if it's the Prime Minister or Marshal Xiao. It hasn't been long since the last time we carried the coffin into the palace, but the officials in the court are unstable again?”
"Don't even think about it!"
Guo Jia rubbed his eyebrows.
"Sir, Xu Prefecture has just been pacified, and the court is already in chaos?" Cao Ren said with a wry smile.”
"Yes!"
Guo Jia's eyes were filled with distress as he said,""Xinzhi wants to make the Prime Minister a Duke. The officials of the court, the Emperor, and Wen Ruo have all made their moves. The Prime Minister has not expressed his stance, and it seems that he is also considering the consequences!”
"Duke?"
The four of them gulped.
The Great Han Dynasty had no other surnames, and the rank of marquis was already capped.
Now, Xiao Bei actually wanted to bring up the position of Duke from thousands of years ago. No wonder the court was in chaos. Even Cao Cao was a little afraid.
"This is good news!"
Cao Ren couldn't help but say.
Xun You stroked his beard and said helplessly,""There are some things that are good to know, but you can't overstep it!”
"Mr. Gongda!"
"What do you think?" Cao Ren asked, holding the hilt of his sword.”
Xun You shook his head and smiled bitterly." I'm from the Rong Army. I'm under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Beishou. What do you think?"”
"That's good!"
Cao Ren heaved a sigh of relief.
It didn't matter if the court was in chaos, but he was afraid of chaos in the Rong residence.
This was because military power was important in troubled times, and Xiao Bei happened to hold this power.
"Everyone!"
Guo Jia said in a disappointed tone," This time, Xinzhi is scheming against everyone, including the Prime Minister. I hope you won't panic. When the time comes, you just have to agree with Xinzhi. After this matter, we will use troops against the Bei Four Prefectures. I really don't want anything to happen!”
"Don't worry!"
Everyone bowed.
"But I'm still the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites!" Du Xi's mouth twitched.”
"No rush!"
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said," The six assistant ministers have all closed their residences except for you. You should also go back and close the doors. You can just wait until the day of court to agree. I'm really worried that these officials will ruin the plan for the Battle of Ji and Yan!”
"Good!"
Du Xi nodded.
When the four governors returned to court, the undercurrents almost attacked the surface.
The officials in the court moved more frequently, and even the counties of Yanzhou were affected.
October 15th.
Man Chong once again arrived at Beishou Marquis Manor.
Xiao Bei scattered a handful of fish food into the lotus pond and said with a faint smile,"Since you're so anxious, something big must have happened outside!”
"Yes!"
Man Chong's face turned green." Fu Wan has already contacted the people outside. Governor Xu Xi of Chen Liu and Prime Minister Mao Hui of Liang have made some strange movements, but the Brocade Guard has yet to monitor what they want to do!”
"Let's move!"
"How can they not want meat delivered to their doorstep?”
Xiao Bei held a handful of fish food and threw it into the lotus pond bit by bit. He looked at dozens of carps fighting for food and said indifferently,"The reason I sent Cao Ang and Cao Pi to Chen Liu was to let them take action.”
"Gulp!"
Man Chong gulped.
This time, he was really afraid.
Xiao Bei was not only scheming against the officials of the court, but also against Cao Ang.
"Bonin!"
"Tomorrow is the 16th of October!"
Xiao Bei's gaze was cold as he said,"It's also the time for the court meeting. Go back and tell the Prime Minister that Mao Hui and Xu Xi are rebelling. Zi Xiu and Cao Pi are a threat in Chen Liu. If he has time, he can lead the first battalion to Chen Liu to quell the rebellion!"”
"Good!"
Man Chong hurriedly walked out of the mansion.
Not long after.
He had already appeared in the Prime Minister's residence with a perturbed heart.
Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Man Chong, who was blocking the entrance of the hall. He frowned and said,"Bonin, what's the matter?"
"Prime Minister!"
"Xuchang is treacherous!" Man Chong gritted his teeth.”
"And then?"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with understanding.
How could he not know about the dispute between Xiao Bei and the officials?
He even knew that Fu Wan and the others had sent people to assassinate the four governors and Cheng Yu.
However, he could not interfere. There were some things that had not yet come to fruition, but Xiao Bei insisted on lifting him up. Naturally, he would suffer countless objections.
"Something happened in Yanzhou!"
Man Chong lowered his head and said nervously.
Cao Cao's pupils constricted, and the brush in his hand fell onto the document. He said in shock,""Yanzhou has already stabilized. What else can happen?”
"Prime Minister!"
Man Chong said bitterly," Fu Wan and the others have secretly allied with Mao Hui and Xu Xi. Now, they are making a move. The two young masters and General Dian Wei are currently on the autumn hunt in Chenliu. Marquis Beishou said that if the Prime Minister has time, he can lead the first camp to quell the rebellion!”
"Ha!"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said,"Why did you lie to me about leaving Xuchang?"”
Man Chong shook his head." Prime Minister, the Marquis of Beishou didn't lie to you. I didn't lie to you either!"”
"Bang!"
Cao Cao's expression changed. He slammed his palm on the table and shouted angrily,"Two traitors. After Changwen was transferred to Xuchang, I made him the prefect of Chen Liu immediately. How would he dare to raise an army now?”
"This person hasn't made any moves, and the Sima Clan hasn't made any moves either!"”
"Humph!"
Cao Cao picked up the Green Melon Sword from the wooden shelf and said coldly,""I will go and mobilize the troops now. Wen He, you will follow the army for this expedition. Bo Ning, you will immediately take over the guards. Take the Prime Minister's seal and head to the Marquis of Beishou's residence.”
"Here!"
Jia Xu and Man Chong responded.
Since Cao Cao was willing to go to Chenliu, it meant that he wanted to be conferred the title of duke.
However, due to some rules, he could not show it on the surface.
Now, even the Prime Minister's seal had been handed over to Xiao Bei. Wasn't that saying that Xu Chang could do whatever he wanted and wait for him to return from quelling the rebellion?
The Great Sun floated in the air.
The hearts of all the officials in Xuchang turned cold.
Cao Cao led the 1st Battalion to Chenliu and used the banner of suppressing the rebellion, causing countless people to feel uneasy.
In the mansion of the Fuguo General.
Fu Wan's eyes were ashen and lifeless.
Fu Ya's face was pale as she said,"Father, that thief Cao has gone to Chen Liu. Does he know about Mao Hui and Xu Xi's matter?"”
"Perhaps!"
Fu Wan said bitterly," All the paladins that were sent out were killed. Even the matter of Chen Liu was found out by Cao Cao. It seems that the Brocade Guard is indeed very capable. I don't know why he left Xuchang to Xiao Bei!"”
Fu Ya's eyes flickered as she said," Xun Lingjun is dissatisfied with Cao Cao's dukedom. Now that Cao Cao has left Xuchang, Xiao Bei has military power, and Xun Lingjun also has the six tribes. If we support Xun Lingjun, we will definitely be able to defeat him!"”
"Ya 'er!"
"Father has an ominous feeling!"
Fu Wan's eyes were filled with worry." Take Jun 'er and the others out of the city immediately. Go as far as possible. Don't come back even if the court is stable!"”
"Is that necessary?"
Fu Ya's eyes were filled with doubt.
Fu Wan said bitterly," You don't know how ruthless Xiao Bei is. He killed half of the royal court and forcefully established the six governors. Dong Cheng was killed, and even Noble Dong was banished to the Cold Palace. If Cao Cao didn't have his support, how could he have achieved such a great power? If this matter is exposed, I'm afraid we will implicate Shou 'er!”
"I will!"
Fu Ya nodded.
He turned around and left the hall, preparing to leave Xuchang with the others!
"Crack!"
Fu Wan lifted a wooden plank on the ground and took out a short knife from a small hole. He muttered,""Wang Zishi, you once lent this saber to Cao Mengde to assassinate Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo died, you took it back. Tomorrow, I will use this saber to kill Xiao Bei. As long as he dies, Cao Cao will not be granted the title of Duke, and the Han royal family will have an opportunity to revive!”
That night.
Xuchang was extremely calm.
It seemed that Cao Cao's lead in quelling the rebellion did not cause much of a stir.
The next day.
When purple clouds rose from the east.
All the officials walked out of their residences and drove their carriages to Cheng Guang Palace to discuss matters.
Xun Yu, the assistant ministers of the six departments, Xiao Bei, and the civil and military officials of the Rong Manor were all here, but they all had different thoughts!
"Marshal Xiao!"
Zhou Cang drove the carriage and said with a complicated expression," I don't understand. Are we in the wrong, or are you in the wrong?"”
"No one is wrong!"
"Everyone has different goals and different things to do!”
"It's just like how you joined the Path of Peace back then just to survive. Do you think it's wrong?”
"What I'm doing now is no different from what you did back then. However, I'm planning before I act. I'm thinking for the sake of the people and walking on the path of leveling the world, but you're messing up the world!”Xiao Bei said with a faint smile!
"Hey!"
Zhou Cang sighed.
Xiao Bei could not help but laugh and said,"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. There is no right or wrong in troubled times. Only the winner is king, and the loser is the bandit. This is because the winner can set the rules. If his rules adapt to the world, then it will be a benefit for thousands of years. If it can't adapt to the world, then it will be treason. It's such a simple question. Why are you sighing?"”
Zhou Cang scratched his head and smiled." If Commander Xiao was our commander back then, I'm sure we would have succeeded!"”
"It's very difficult!"
Xiao Bei shook his head.
He reached out and lifted the bamboo curtain of the carriage.
They watched as the carriage drove into the palace gates and passed by one official after another.
The wind chimes in front of the carriage echoed, and the crisp sound caused the officials on both sides of the road to panic. They could not help but look away from the carriage.
"Chaos!"
One of the officials sighed.
In times of prosperity, they were the ones who controlled the rules.
In a chaotic world, people like Xiao Bei who held military power were the ones who set the rules.
"All the officials present!"
Little Yellow Gate stood in front of Chengguang Palace and screamed.
When he saw Xiao Bei's carriage, his heart began to ache.
Gongqing into the court.
Both civil and military officials bowed
Liu Xie sat on a high seat, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Cao Cao's expedition to quell the rebellion was a good thing for him. At the very least, Xiao Bei had Xun Yu holding him back this time, so the outcome was still uncertain.
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
Xiao Bei walked into Cheng Guang Hall in two steps.
The huge figure blocked the sunlight in the early morning.
Liu Xie's vision turned black and he said in a deep voice," It's really rare for the Marquis of Beishou to attend court!"”
"Yes, I am!"
Xiao Bei held the Hanshi Sword and said with a faint smile,"I have a lot of things to do in the Rong Mansion. I have just settled the rebellion in Xu Prefecture. After returning to the court, I was busy with the Imperial College. The rebellion in Yanzhou has also started. I didn't have time to settle it.”
"Is that so?"
Liu Xie's face stiffened.
Xiao Bei nodded and said in a deep voice,"Xuzhou has been pacified, and the chaos in the three provinces of the Central Plains has been settled. However, the Governor of Chenliu, Xu Xi, and the Prime Minister of Liang, Mao Hui, have secretly recruited soldiers in an attempt to reach the peak of the court. They will send ministers to guard the two prefectures. Today, Xiao Bei will use the Prime Minister's seal to recommend Wei Jin!"”
"I agree!"
Chen Qun took a step forward and said.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao, Du Xi, and Zao Zhi all stepped forward.
The six assistant ministers agreed, causing countless people to look at Xun Yu.
"I agree!"
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with pain.
Xu Xi and Mao Hui were Fu Wan's men, who rebelled for the emperor.
However, Cao Cao had already gone to quell the rebellion, so he had to send out capable officials to take care of the internal affairs of the two prefectures.
Xiao Bei was indeed planning for the internal affairs of the two counties. Even though he knew that this decree was related to Cao Cao's title of duke, he had no choice but to agree.
"I agree!"
Man Chong, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu stepped forward.
"I agree!"
Four of the ten generals of the Rong Mansion came out.
"Correct!"
Liu Xie's eyes were filled with sadness.
He ordered the killing of his own people and replaced them with others.
This kind of pain, this kind of blow, could not be described with words. At this moment, he only wanted to withdraw from the court as soon as possible.
"Swoosh!"
Xiao Bei turned to look at the officials and said in a low voice,"A month ago, I summoned the four governors from the Rong Manor to the court to discuss the northern expedition to quell the rebellion. I didn't expect to be assassinated repeatedly along the way.”
"No!"
"I don't know about this!"
"Bastard, who dares to assassinate the four governors!”
The eyes of the officials in the court immediately lit up as they opened their mouths to refute and rebuke!
They knew very well who was assassinating the four military governors of the Rong Manor, but how could they admit it?
"Good acting skills!"
Xiao Bei's eyes were filled with admiration.
If it wasn't for the Jinyiwei's supervision, he would have been deceived by these officials.
It was a pity that these officials did not understand how terrifying the Brocade Guard was.
Even after experiencing Dong Cheng's incident, they did not understand that the Jinyiwei was everywhere. Even the number of times they went to the toilet was recorded.
Subverting the course of history.
He had been working on it, and he was making great progress.
This time, he was going to do the big picture. Suppress, kill, and lift Cao Cao up. Let Cao Cao wear the nine-chapter crown and ascend to the position of Duke of Wei!
