"Prime Minister, you're welcome! This time I defeated the traitor Yuan Shao, Prime Minister, it can be said that he has done a great job with his hard work!"
The emperor Liu Xie did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly got out of the chariot and helped Cao Cao up himself.
"Yes, the Prime Minister is truly the pillar of our Han Dynasty!"
"Without the Prime Minister, I would be in great danger!"
A group of court officials came forward and praised him.
Only Kong Rong, Yang Biao and a few other court officials stood aside and watched quietly.
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. This is just the duty of a minister."
Cao Cao pretended to be reserved, but in fact he smiled so much that the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes wrinkled.
"Okay, let's go back to the palace. I have ordered a banquet to celebrate the Prime Minister's victory!"
Liu Xie took Cao Cao's arm, got on the luanjia, and then headed towards the city.
Everyone also followed him.
Just when the Emperor Luanjia was starting up, Queen Fushou glanced at Yang Ling pretending to be casual.
But when she saw Yang Ling looking at her with a smile, her heart skipped a beat, and her pretty face felt a little hot.
Zhou Cang happened to see this scene and muttered in confusion,
"Why does Her Majesty the Queen look at your husband so strangely?"
"What's wrong?"
Dian Wei asked, holding back his laughter.
"It just feels like...Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Guo look at Mr. The same way."
Zhou Cang scratched his head.
The Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Guo he mentioned were naturally Zhang Chunhua and Guo Zhao.
When Dian Wei heard this, he burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect Brother Zhou Cang to be quite discerning. To tell you the truth, even Her Royal Highness the Queen is my eldest brother's woman!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Cang was dumbfounded.
You know that she is the queen of the world, and she was conquered by Yang Ling?
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Yang Ling with admiration.
"I, Zhou Cang, haven't found a wife yet. Sir, can you give me some advice?"
"Don't ask, Brother Zhou, you can't learn."
Gan Ning on the side struck him mercilessly,
"First of all, you must have the appearance of a beautiful tree like the wind, sir."
Zhou Cang glanced at the handsome and handsome Yang Ling, then thought about how dark and strong he looked, and could only sigh resentfully.
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
Yang Ling followed the Emperor Luanjia towards the palace, but he was making plans in his mind.
After defeating Yuan Shao this time, it is almost certain that Boss Cao will be crowned king.
After Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang lost both sides in the fight, they would take them down and unify the north, followed by going south to conquer Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan.
In a short time, Boss Cao will be able to bring peace to the world, and by then he will be able to quietly enjoy his glory and wealth!
Thinking of this, Yang Ling couldn't help laughing and said to Zhou Cang beside him,
"Zhou Cang, you have been following me for a while, and I happen to have a fortune to give you. What do you think?"
"Of course I am willing, General!"
Zhou Cang agreed without even thinking about it.
"Come here with your ears!"
Yang Ling waved to him and then whispered.
"Is this... feasible?"
Zhou Cang was surprised.
"Absolutely doable! Can I still trick you?"
Yang Ling smiled.
"Okay! Just listen to what sir says!"
Zhou Cang was finally moved by the wealth Yang Ling said and nodded heavily.
Everyone soon arrived at Xudu Palace, where a banquet had already been arranged.
After everyone took their seats, Emperor Liu Xie also announced that the banquet had officially begun!
Although the Battle of the Yellow River was nominally won by Cao Cao, everyone was like a mirror, knowing that the biggest hero was Yang Ling!
Therefore, many people came forward with smiles and wanted to have a good relationship with Yang Ling.
This made Yang Ling a little troubled.
He quickly glanced at Zhou Cang and whispered,
"Don't forget your wealth!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cang quickly put down the roast chicken in his hand, wiped his hands on his body, and walked out.
When he stood up like this, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
"This general is..."
Liu Xie looked at Zhou Cang doubtfully.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is General Zhou Cang, the guard commander of General Wu Guan."
Cao Cao, who was on the left side of the emperor, introduced Zhou Cang's identity, but also felt a little puzzled.
"It turns out to be General Zhou Cang!"
Liu Xie smiled and asked,
"What's the matter with you?"
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister defeated Yuan Shao's rebels this time. His hard work has been great, and the general will consider him worthy of a heavy reward!"
Zhou Cang said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet.
After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, all the ministers in the court were speculating on how Emperor Liu Xie would reward Cao Cao.
After all, Cao Cao is now the prime minister and has inherited his father's title of Marquis Feiting. It can be said that he is a highly respected minister and has nothing to reward him.
Liu Xie's heart tightened and he acted as if nothing had happened.
"How does General Zhou think the prime minister should be rewarded?"
"The last general thought that Cao Cao should be canonized as King of Wei, plus nine tins!"
Zhou Cang followed Yang Ling's instructions word for word.
Everyone was in an uproar immediately!
The Han Dynasty inherited the twenty ranks of nobles from the Qin Dynasty. Those who had made military achievements, the highest were the Nineteen Pass Neihou and the Twenty Lieutenant Marquis.
But that's all.
At the beginning, Liu Bang and his ministers killed White Horse, made an alliance with White Horse, and made an oath that "whoever belongs to the Liu family will not be king."
Although after Liu Bang's death, Empress Lu made all Lu kings, all the kings of the Lu family were eliminated one by one after Empress Lu's death.
Therefore, it has become a common agreement among people all over the world that if there is no Liu family, there will be no king.
But now Zhou Cang wants Liu Xie to make Cao Cao the King of Wei and add Jiuxi. This is obviously to pave the way for Cao Cao to stand on his own behalf on behalf of the Han Dynasty!
Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but look at Yang Ling.
He naturally knew that with Zhou Cang's character, he would not be able to think of such words. It was definitely Yang Ling who was behind it.
Yang Ling just smiled at Cao Cao and said nothing.
Everyone held their breath and stared at Liu Xie.
But Liu Xie took a deep breath and forced a smile and said,
"What General Zhou Cang said is very reasonable! In this case, then let the Prime Minister be canonized as the King of Wei, and add nine tins!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Cao Cao quickly stood up and said with a panic look on his face,
"I just did my duty, how can I get such a reward? I hope your majesty will take back my life!"
"The Prime Minister is too humble. Without you, I would still be living in the fields with all the courtiers."
No matter how Liu Xie tried to persuade him, Cao Cao shook his head and refused.
In the end, Liu Xie had no choice but to give up!
After the banquet was over, Yang Ling led Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhao Yun out of the palace.
"The prime minister refuses your majesty's reward, because I am afraid that the wealth you mentioned will be gone."
Zhou Cang sighed regretfully.
But Yang Ling laughed,
"General Zhou's words are wrong. Your wealth will never fly away."
"Why?"
Zhou Cang said with a surprised look on his face.
