The next day.
The sky was still dark.
Cao Cao brought Dian Wei, Cheng Yu, and the others to Luoyang.
As for Cao Hong and Cao Chun, they stayed in the military camp to receive Gu Qing and Guo Jia who had come from afar!
In the past few months.
Luoyang had indeed been repaired quite a bit.
However, the dilapidated state was still there, making it seem extremely desolate.
The three dukes and nine ministers stood in the Jiade Palace, looking at Cao Cao from time to time.
Cao Cao came to Luoyang.
This was something that no one had expected.
At the same time, they were also worried that Cao Cao would become the second Dong Zhuo and take control of the emperor!
"My lords!"
"Do you have anything to report today?"
Liu Xie's expression was bitter, and the fear in his heart was indescribable.
The Darkhan Dynasty that was once prosperous for 400 years had declined and even collapsed in his hands.
The officials of the thirteen prefectures were all vassals who supported their armies and respected themselves. They did not respect the imperial edict and did not have the heart to serve the emperor.
"Pa da!"
Cao Cao stepped forward and bowed." Your Majesty, today I want to report that Zhang Yang has overstepped the royal family and named the Emperor's palace as Yang An Palace under the surname Yang. I also want to report that Han Xian has abused his power and killed General Dong Cheng for no reason. These two thieves have committed heinous crimes. I beg the Emperor to grant them death!"”
"Boom!"
A commotion broke out in Garde Hall.
All the officials in the court looked at him with shock.
Who would have thought that when Cao Cao first arrived in Luoyang, he would directly report Zhang Yang and Han Xian's crimes?
Even if the two of them had made some mistakes, they were still meritorious officials who had escorted Liu Xie from Chang 'an to Luoyang!
"I agree!"
Dong Cheng's eyes were filled with anger as he stepped forward to agree.
When he first entered Luoyang, he was killed by Han Xian and could only flee to Yang Feng's camp to pray for protection.
He only dared to come back after he secretly summoned Cao Cao to the capital to help the king. Now, how could he not beat the dog when it was down!
"Your Majesty!"
Han Xian stepped out and bowed respectfully, saying sorrowfully,""All these years, I have been working hard. Even if I have to fight to the death with Li and Guo, I have to escort Your Majesty back to the east. Although I had a conflict with General Wei in the past, it was for the sake of Your Majesty's safety.”
"Your Majesty, please grant me death!"
Cao Cao took another step forward and looked at Han Xian aggressively!
Seeing this, Dong Cheng shouted,"Your Majesty, if the two thieves don't die, it won't be enough to appease the anger of the people!"”
"Dong Cheng!"
"Cao Aman!"
Han Xian's eyes were wide open, and the hatred in his heart soared. He wished he could kill the two of them on the spot!
"Cao Qing!"
Liu Xie's eyes flickered as he said helplessly,""All these years, you used your body to feed the tiger and murdered the thief Dong. You also did your best to fight against the Western Liang rebel army and pacify the remaining Yellow Turban rebels in Yingchuan. How could I not know?”
"Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao lowered his head slightly.
At this moment, he had a premonition.
At the same time, he was convinced by Gu Qing's words yesterday!
Liu Xie's expression was complicated." Cao Qing, today, I will appoint you as a Si Li Colonel. You will be in charge of the affairs of the minister. How about you give me a talisman?"”
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Cao Cao bowed and shouted.
Liu Xie's words were very clear.
Since Han Xian has been stripped of his authority as a Si Li lieutenant and you have been rewarded, then let's forget about these things.
He could not refuse the emperor's reward. Otherwise, he would not go against the emperor's will. Not to mention serving Liu Xie in Xu County, he would probably be reprimanded by the officials in the court in the next moment!
"Is there anything else?"
Liu Xie saw that Cao Cao did not retreat and felt resentment in his heart!
Cao Cao bowed and said," Your Majesty, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Dong Zhao, Ju Jun, and the others have made contributions in protecting the Emperor's return to the east. Even if they are not promoted, they should be conferred the rank of marquis to show the great kindness of the heavens and to encourage the world to submit!”
"Please be conferred the rank of marquis?"
After Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and the others were stunned.
They thought that if they failed to kill Han Xian, that would be it.
They never thought that Cao Cao would actually give them a marquis. For a moment, everyone felt much better about him!
"Correct!"
Liu Xie gritted his teeth and said!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, and the others all stepped forward and shouted respectfully.
"Pa da!"
Cao Cao took another step forward and looked at the high seat with a burning gaze."Your Majesty, Minister Tai Chong and Minister Feng Shuo committed a crime when the emperor returned to the east.”
"Cao Qing!"
Liu Xie's expression turned even uglier.
Cao Cao was too aggressive in court today.
Zhang Yang, Han Xian's crimes, please grant Dong Cheng and others marquises, and now you want to kill Tai Chong and Feng Shuo?
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
Cao Cao retreated three steps and entered the court.
The three axes of suppression, elevation, and suppression were used.
Now that he had already used up all his means, whether he could walk to the last step would depend on heaven's will!
"I agree!"
"This old subject seconds!"
Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Ju Jun and the rest all stepped out to agree.
They had just received a favor from Cao Cao and did not want to owe him anything. Now was the best time to repay him.
Money was easy to return, but favors were hard to erase. Who knew what the world would become in the future? Being able to cut ties with Cao Cao was the best choice!
"Success!"
"Bo Ru is indeed powerful!"
Cheng Yu lowered his head, his eyes filled with shock.
This court meeting was simply Cao Cao's personal show, he had everything under control.
When the Three Axes of Power were revealed, all the officials and even the current emperor would fall into a passive position. This was the human heart!
