"Then tell me, where should I move the capital?”
Cao Cao cupped his fists and said," Xu County, Yuzhou. This place is blessed with talents and talents. It governs the six prefectures of Bing, Ji, Yan, Yu, Yang, and Jing. It is a heaven-sent capital.”
For a moment, the officials were furious. If they were from the future, they would definitely use a more appropriate word to describe Cao Cao, and that would be 'double standard'.
What kind of joke was this? Chang 'an was a battleground, but Xu County wasn't?
Moreover, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou were the Yellow Turban's most affected areas. The situation would only be more chaotic than Chang 'an.
"Bah, Cao Cao, you're shameless."
"Chang 'an is a place of war, but isn't Xu County a place of war?”
Cao Cao continued," Your Majesty, the Si Li region is long and narrow. It is difficult to take care of both the front and back. The remaining 30,000 soldiers of mine are not enough to defend the city, let alone recover our homeland. Xu County is different. The terrain of Yuzhou and Yanzhou is solid. The soldiers stationed in Xu County can protect the safety of the Emperor and also take care of the surrounding counties. It is a good choice. As long as Your Majesty is ready, you can send troops out of Xu County to take back the six states and return them to the court.”
Liu Xie couldn't make up his mind.""This... Moving the capital is a major event. Let me discuss it with you. Can you tell me the second condition?"
"Give up your authority," Cao Cao said calmly.
"How do I delegate power?"
"The world is too heavy to recover from, and severe illnesses require strong medicine. As the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty should guard Xu County to stabilize the morale of the army. Outside, you need a good warrior to recover your homeland. Please reactivate the Prime Minister system. For your majesty to recover the territory and expand the territory, suppress the four directions do not submit. In this way, both inside and outside the court are united, and in ten years, the world will be peaceful.”
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"Cao Mengde is ambitious and wants to follow Dong Zhuo of Western Liang!”
"Your Majesty, you must not listen to the words of wolves, tigers, and leopards!”
The reason why the Prime Minister system was abolished was because the Prime Minister had too much power. He had the military, military, and financial power, and was above the three dukes. If the Prime Minister was weak, it would be fine. If the Prime Minister was strong, the emperor sitting in the court would really become a decoration.
"Hmph, if I imitate Dong Zhuo of Western Liang, will the public security still be alive? I, Cao Mengde, assassinated Dong alone, issued an edict to gather all the vassals in the world to support the king, and secretly killed Dong in secret. All these things happened in just ten months. Have you forgotten? I, Cao Cao, am loyal to the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven. This heart can illuminate the sun and moon of heaven and earth.”
"I, Cao Mengde, am willing to die for Your Majesty!" Cao Cao suddenly raised his voice.”
The soldiers outside the hall shouted at the same time.
"I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!"
The momentum soared to the sky.
The entire court was afraid of Cao Cao's military might and did not dare to speak. Only Yang Feng held his chest and pointed at Cao Cao's nose."Cao Cao! How can the world be decided by the emperor? You must be trying to control the world by doing such a perverse thing. How dare you say that you are loyal to His Majesty! You're no different from a traitor!"
Facing Yang Feng's accusation, Cao Cao didn't say anything. He just turned around and gave Zhang Wu a half-smile.
Zhang Wu immediately understood. He raised his Overlord Spear and shouted angrily,"White Wave Thief! How can you slander the Prime Minister's loyalty!”With that, he raised his spear and stabbed.
The brawny man behind Yang Feng rushed out quickly. Unfortunately, because he had followed Yang Feng to meet the emperor, he had removed his weapon. All that was left was a pair of iron fists. However, he was not afraid of death and directly attacked the Overlord Spear.
With Zhang Wu's strength, even if he didn't use any force, the burly man couldn't withstand it. With a shake of the spear, he broke the burly man's arms and aimed at Yang Feng without slowing down.
Yang Feng was scared out of his wits. He turned around and wanted to run, but he found that there was an additional spearhead in his chest. He did not even have time to scream before he stopped breathing.
Cao Cao was furious and kicked Zhang Wu's back with all his might, causing Zhang Wu to stagger.""Zhang Wu! How dare you be so impudent in front of the emperor in the main hall! If it wasn't for your outstanding achievements and your ability to serve the Great Han Dynasty, I would have beheaded you right now to comfort General Yang's spirit in heaven. Get lost, get lost and go back to receive a hundred lashes. If you make another mistake, I will definitely behead you!”
Zhang Wu turned around and cupped his hands at Cao Cao, feeling wronged."Yes."
Cao Cao helped Yang Feng's subordinate up and comforted him.
Zhang Wu apologized and left the hall.
At this moment, Zhang Wu was overjoyed. The two of them had killed a Cheji General in unison. The resentment he had felt for many days had been relieved. He was simply refreshed.
Zhang Wu couldn't help but sigh, It was still more comfortable to follow Boss Cao.
When he reached the entrance of the hall, Zhang Wu suddenly realized that his points had increased by 500, reaching 674. He turned around and looked at the burly man.
Name: Xu Huang
[Strength: 96]
[Commander: 90]
Intelligence: 72
Political Affairs: 28
[Skill: Iron Wall: Commander 5, Strength 3 when leading the army to defend the city]
"Boss Cao has some skills. I have the system to observe talents. He can see with his naked eyes that Xu Huang is different from others and come forward to win him over.”
Seeing Zhang Wu walk out, Guo Jia went up to him,"Ziqian, I see that you're smiling. Did you get what you wanted?”
"Hehe, that's not true, but it's almost certain.”
"There's nothing else here. Let's go and buy me a drink.”
Damn it, my boss is still in the Deyang Palace. Is it appropriate for me to dump my lord and drink alone?
Guo Jia seemed to have seen through Zhang Wu's thoughts and said with a smile,"Don't worry. I ordered General Yuan Rang to prepare a big gift for the little emperor. My lord is definitely fine. Let's go, let's go. I miss the fine wine in Teacher Cai's manor.”
Guo Jia was a monster with 99 points of wisdom. Since he said that he was fine, Zhang Wu didn't have to worry about him. The two of them went back to the mansion to drink happily.
Cao Cao did not know that he had been abandoned by his two companions. He was still shamelessly expressing his loyalty and drawing a blueprint in Deyang Palace.
The officials were worthless and incompetent.
However, what he said was the truth. He did not even give anyone a chance to refute.
I, Cao Cao, said that when Dong Zhuo came, you would only be at home hugging your heads and crying, right? That's right!
I, Cao Cao, said that you only dare to talk about Dong Zhuo behind his back, but not in front of him, right? That's right!
I, Cao Cao, said that Luoyang was burned down and you only dared to hide in the mansion and tremble, right? That's right!
In contrast, Cao Mengde had become a capable official in Liu Xie's eyes, a right-hand man that he could rely on.
The reason why sophistry was so powerful was that it only highlighted one point from the side, thus ignoring the essence of the problem.
If Cao Cao was Liu Xie's right-hand man, then the core problem was not Cao Cao's talent, but Cao Cao's loyalty. Otherwise, Cao Cao would be the most lethal poison in the Great Han Dynasty.
Loyalty was something that could not be seen or touched. It was all because of Cao Cao's mouth.
Liu Xie had even forgotten that the wise emperors in the history of the Han Dynasty used the most skillful imperial method-checks and balance.
How could loyalty be described as loyalty? Tian Zi didn't believe it, so he specially raised a competitor for you. This was a check and balance.
