Yang Ling just smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, Xu Chu suddenly strode over,
"Brother! The Prime Minister asked me to invite you to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"knew."
Yang Ling nodded.
Xu Chu looked at Zhou Cang aside and said with a smile,
"General Zhou, the Prime Minister also said that you should come with him!"
"See, I told you that your wealth can't fly!"
Yang Ling laughed.
Regarding being named King of Wei, Cao Cao absolutely did not want to refuse.
But this is similar to giving in. It requires a gradual process.
If he agreed immediately, everyone would think he was ambitious.
Therefore, in order to look good on the surface, Cao Cao must refuse first.
Only when Liu Xie makes a great contribution next time and rewards Liu Xie can Cao Cao agree.
Yang Ling did not hesitate and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion with Zhou Cang.
In the study, Cao Cao met Yang Ling and Zhou Cang.
"Well, Ziyi, you didn't say hello to me in advance for such a big matter."
Cao Cao pretended to be blaming, but the joy in his heart could not be concealed.
"My father-in-law really made the mistake of blaming my son-in-law. This was all General Zhou Cang's idea."
Yang Ling said innocently.
Cao Cao glanced at him with a smile on his face, but instead of trying to expose it, he looked at Zhou Cang.
"I heard that during the Battle of the Yellow River, General Zhou Cang fought to the death to protect Zi Yi in the chaos. Such bravery is really commendable!"
"I plan to make you a prince, what do you think?"
When he attacked Yuan Shao last time, Yang Ling didn't rush forward from beginning to end, and Zhou Cang didn't make a move at all.
The reason why Cao Cao said this was to find an excuse to reward Zhou Cang.
When Zhou Cang heard this, he immediately nodded excitedly,
"The general is willing!"
"In that case, let me make you the Marquis of Ma Ting."
Cao Cao smiled and said to Yang Ling,
"What do you think Ziyi?"
Yang Ling thought for a while and then said in a rather evil tone,
"I don't think Marquis Ma Ting sounds good, so why not just make General Zhou Cang the Marquis of Ma Ting?"
"Did we have a place called Dama Township in the Han Dynasty?"
Cao Cao said with a confused look on his face.
"There should be."
Yang Ling nodded affirmatively.
When Cao Cao saw this, he no longer insisted, so he nodded and said,
"Okay, just follow Zi Yi's wishes. Does General Zhou Cang have any objections?"
"The general has no objections!"
Zhou Cang doesn't care whether he is called Marquis of Dama or Marquis of Ma Ting, as long as it is a title, it is enough!
"That's OK!"
Cao Cao waved to Cao Ang and asked him to take Zhou Cang out to go through the formalities while he talked to Yang Ling alone.
"I called Ziyi here tonight not only because of the canonization of the King of Wei today, but also because of other things I want to discuss with you Ziyi."
Seeing his serious attitude, Yang Ling felt a chill in his heart and said in a deep voice,
"Please give me my father-in-law's instructions."
"While we were dealing with Yuan Shao, His Majesty was not idle."
"According to reports from the spies of the Campus Affairs Office, His Majesty has been busy meeting Kong Rong, Yang Biao and other ministers. He has tried to bribe the palace guards over and over again."
When Cao Cao talked about this, his face was as dark as water, and he could not see any joy, anger, sorrow or joy.
But Yang Ling felt a hint of murderous intent from his words.
"Has my father-in-law found out what His Majesty is planning?"
Cao Cao sneered,
"Our Majesty learned to be smart this time. He did everything without revealing anything and didn't let the school affairs office find out anything."
"Then what my father-in-law means is..."
Yang Ling looked at Cao Cao tentatively.
"You have a close relationship with the queen, and you haven't seen her for some time. Why don't you go see her tonight."
Cao Cao chuckled.
Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted and was speechless.
Co-author: Do you want me to betray my appearance to seduce the queen and get information from her?
Boss Cao, I really admire you!
I'm your son-in-law. Are you so deceptive to your son-in-law?
Yang Ling sighed, but in the end his arms couldn't hold his thighs, so he cupped his hands and said,
"My son-in-law just obeys your orders!"
"Zi Yi, you have to remember that you can have fun outside, but you can't neglect Qing'er, do you understand?"
Cao Cao warned.
"My son-in-law, please remember your father-in-law's teachings."
Yang Ling couldn't laugh or cry.
"That's good! Okay, it's getting late, you should hurry up and enter the palace."
Cao Cao waved his hand.
Yang Ling bowed, stood up and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhou Cang, who is now the Grand Marquis, followed Yang Ling with a pleased expression on his face,
"Thank you sir. If it weren't for sir, how could I have been granted the title of Marquis?"
This is true.
If he hadn't met Yang Ling, I'm afraid he would have been working in Woniu Mountain, pursuing his promising career as a bandit.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come with me to the palace."
Yang Ling ordered.
"Going to the palace?"
Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He just followed Yang Ling obediently.
…
In the palace.
"boom!"
Liu Xie slammed the inkstone in his hand onto the ground.
Seeing this, Fu Shou frowned slightly and said to several palace maids,
"You guys go down first."
"Here!"
After the maids left, Liu Xie roared to Fu Shou,
"This damn Cao Mengde, he actually wants to be crowned king! If he is crowned king today, will he take away my throne tomorrow?!"
Facing Liu Xie's roar, Fu Shou said calmly,
"Your Majesty is so hysterical. Aren't you afraid that the guards outside will hear it and send a message to the Prime Minister?"
"So what if he hears it? Does he still dare to kill me?"
Although Liu Xie was still a bit arrogant, his voice was obviously lowered. He was obviously afraid that Cao Cao would know.
He panted heavily, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said,
"Queen, I plan to kill Cao Cao!"
Fu Shou glanced at him and said calmly,
"Now that everyone in the court belongs to the Prime Minister, how does Your Majesty want to take action?"
"Who said they are all his people?"
Liu Xie snorted coldly,
"Taizhong doctor Kong Rong, Taichang Yang Biao, and the father-in-law are all loyal and righteous people!"
Hearing him mention his father, Fu Shou frowned slightly.
"Even so, I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with Cao Cao."
Liu Xie suddenly laughed, moved closer to Fu Shou, and said in a flattering tone,
"Whether you can compete with Cao Cao depends on you, the queen."
Fu Shou was stunned at first, then his pretty face changed, and he said angrily,
"Your Majesty wants me to seduce Yang Ling again?"
"You can't say that. It's called temporarily committing yourself to a thief."
Liu Xie showed a shameless smile,
"That Yang Ling has the trust of Cao Cao, and he has soldiers and horses in his hands. As long as the Queen can persuade him, it will be easy for me to get rid of Cao Cao!"
Fu Shou was speechless, just biting his red lips.
Seeing that she refused to speak, Liu Xie put on an expression of crying and crying.
"Can the Queen have the heart to watch me being bullied by Cao Cao's thieves, and the country of Han Dynasty falling into the hands of Cao Cao's thieves?"
Fu Shou took a few deep breaths, his tall chest rising and falling, and then he slowly said,
"I...I do everything according to Your Majesty's command."
