The next day, under Cao Cao's instruction, Han Emperor Liu Xie held a long-awaited court meeting.
When the imperial power was extremely neglected, the court meeting was meaningless.
All political affairs, big and small, were assigned to the Shangshutai.
Cao Cao restored the prime minister system, appointed himself as prime minister, and added ministerial affairs.
Even the orders issued by Shangshu Ling Xunyu, the number one person in the Shangshutai, must be approved by Cao Cao before they can be issued.
As for Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, it was just a decoration with a jade seal and notification.
Over time, the court meeting also became Cao Cao's one-word hall, which was even more meaningless.
After Cao Cao went to war, he did not even meet the conditions for openly discussing government affairs.
Xun Yu was also squeezed too much by government affairs and did not want to waste time on meaningless court meetings.
Officials at all levels were too lazy to rush around, and no one even mentioned the matter.
In the current Xuchang court, if Cao Cao had not spoken, the court meeting would not have been held at all.
Similarly, after Cao Cao spoke, officials at all levels swarmed in and gathered in the main hall.
The emperor Liu Xie finally wore the emperor's clothes again and sat on the throne.
Looking at the many ministers below, Liu Xie was filled with emotions.
Since Dong Cheng's death, veterans loyal to the Han Dynasty have become more cautious.
There is only one reason, fear of the national thief Cao Cao sitting not far below!
Looking at Cao Cao, Liu Xie could not stop the hatred in his eyes.
The civil and military stations on both sides below were supposed to be facing the emperor, but now they seemed to be facing Cao Cao.
Liu Xie really wanted to grab Cao Cao by the collar and curse all the civil and military officials!
Ask them who is the king, ask them whose ministers they are!
It's a pity that Liu Xie didn't dare. The deaths of Dong Cheng and Dong Guiren left him with a broken heart and gallbladder, and he could no longer raise the fighting spirit to resist Cao Cao.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
The civil and military officials on both sides knelt down in unison, and Cao Cao also stood up and bowed slightly.
Long live. . .
Hearing these two words, Liu Xie thought of Liu Zhang who proposed him.
After he was promoted to Duke of Qin, he always thought that he could help the Han Dynasty and kill the Cao traitors!
Who would have thought that Liu Zhang did not take the emperor seriously at all.
"My dear friends, please get back on your feet."
Liu Xie's voice was weak and full of helplessness.
Cao Cao came back with a great victory after annihilating Yuan Shao. Not to mention his power was even greater than before, and now he was inevitably rewarded!
But now Cao Cao, what else can Liu Xie reward him with?
The prime minister, who has overall military and political power, is the head of the civil and military officials.
The title is already the highest level of county marquis, and there is no room for advancement.
The only thing left is to add some food.
But in the case of such a great victory, can increasing the food supply solve the problem?
Liu Xie felt inexplicably desolate. He always felt that something big was going to happen today.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a minister couldn't bear his loneliness and went out.
"Your Majesty Mao Jie has the gift to start a memorial!"
"Speaking."
Mao Jie leaned over and cupped his hands. He glanced at Cao Cao first, with a smile on his lips.
"The Prime Minister led the army to fight for a year, and finally eliminated the rebel Yuan Shao, and pacified the three states of Hebei for the imperial court!"
"During this period, he also eliminated the Wuhuan, a foreign race that was an enemy of the Han Dynasty, and beheaded the Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun!"
"The illustrious military exploits Prime Minister Cao has made are truly hard to find in ancient times!"
"There are rewards for merit and punishment for mistakes. In order to show your majesty's wisdom to the world, I sincerely ask your majesty to reward Prime Minister Cao to calm the hearts of the world!"
Liu Xie first glanced at Cao Cao, then looked at Mao Jie angrily, and cursed in his heart.
This bitch of Cao Cao really can't wait for even a quarter of an hour!
If you appreciate reward, just let me reward you!
I will reward Cao Cao with the throne, and you will be satisfied!
If there was even a slight possibility, Liu Xie would not let traitors like Mao Jie show off their power in front of him.
I can only regret that Cao Cao's power is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and Liu Xie is completely out of breath.
Don't even dare to refute anything beneficial to Cao Cao in public!
"I..."
"Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao didn't say anything earlier or later, but he interrupted Liu Xie just when he opened his mouth.
It can be seen that there is no last trace of awe for Liu Xie in my heart.
Even so, Liu Xie only dared to be angry in his heart and did not dare to show it at all.
"Prime Minister, what's the matter?"
Cao Cao suddenly changed his previous arrogance and saluted again before speaking.
"Your Majesty, Duke Liu Zhang of Qin has sent an envoy to see your Majesty."
"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Qin has another good news?"
Liu Xie sarcastically said, but he didn't believe it. Liu Zhang still had foreigners to fight!
He no longer had any good impression of Liu Zhang.
Although he clearly had powerful troops, he refused to rescue himself when Cao Cao went north.
It is clear that they have the same evil intentions as Cao Cao!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty! There is a great victory in the Western Region. Qin Gong Liu Zhang specially sent people to announce the good news. He is waiting outside the palace at this time."
Wow. . .
Except for Cao Cao, no one in the court knew about the whole incident.
This immediately caused a commotion.
After the Southern Barbarians, Qiang Hu, Xianbei, and Xiongnu, are they showing off in the Western Regions again?
Not long ago I heard that Liu Zhang personally entered Jingzhou and won several small victories.
Unexpectedly, the great victory in the Western Region is coming again!
After hearing this, Liu Xie felt as if he had eaten shit.
I'm really afraid of what will happen, Liu Zhang has made a meritorious service again!
"Pass it on..."
After getting Liu Xie's permission, a person soon walked in outside the hall.
It was Xu Shu who was wearing court clothes.
However, Xu Shu was wearing Qin Dynasty court clothes, not Han Dynasty clothes, which also made Xu Shu's current identity clear.
"Your Majesty Xu Shu, long live my emperor!"
Although the court uniforms were different, the etiquette was impeccable, which gave Liu Xie some comfort in his unhappy mood.
"No gifts."
"I wonder what achievements Duke Qin has made. Is it worthy for you to travel thousands of miles?"
Xu Shu's heart was like a mirror, and from this sentence he knew Liu Xie's resentment towards Liu Zhang.
Now he leaned over and bowed his hands again.
"Your Majesty, Duke Qin sent an army deep into the Western Regions. After several bloody battles, he successfully killed more than 400,000 coalition forces from various countries in the Western Regions. He killed Kangju, Wusun, and the King of Kucha. He also massacred Chigu, the capital of Wusun, and completely destroyed Kucha. country!"
"After this battle, all the more than fifty countries in the Western Regions surrendered and submitted to the Governor of the Western Regions unconditionally!"
After Xu Shu blurted out his victory, the whole hall immediately exploded.
All the ministers whispered to each other and looked shocked.
Is this Liu Zhang the enemy of a foreign race?
It’s just a matter of annihilating foreign races one after another. How about killing hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands at every turn?
How many foreigners in the world could Liu Zhang kill?
It seems that the saying "those who are not from my race must have different hearts" is no longer just a slogan, it will really come true for Liu Zhang!
Liu Xie's eyes flickered, his cheeks twitched, and he was completely unable to express his inner emotions.
In short, it’s not more of a surprise, but more of an anger!
There are troops capable of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of troops from the Western Regions, so why not come to Xuchang to save them?
What are you, Liu Zhang, trying to do with the people from the Western Regions? Why are you playing with Liu Bei?
Why not come and destroy Cao Cao?
Why!
