The silent roar lasted in Liu Xie's heart for a long, long time.
Because there was nowhere to vent his raging anger, his face turned red.
It wasn't until Cao Cao's light cough came that it was like a downpour that completely extinguished Liu Xie's anger.
"Ah... Mr. Qin, well done!"
"As expected of the Han Dynasty... a pillar!"
This is the tragedy of being a puppet without rights!
The uncontrollable anger was shocked by Cao Cao's small action and disappeared.
In the face of unacceptable facts, he had to praise him against his will.
It's so painful!
But Liu Xie will soon know that the pain has just begun.
"Your Majesty, when the countries in the Western Regions were being pacified, Zhang Yan, the chief historian of the Western Regions, colluded with the Six Divisions of Che Division without authorization in an attempt to hinder the Duke of Qin's army."
"In order to show the power of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers of the Western Expedition successfully wiped out more than 20,000 chariot troops and killed the traitor Zhang Yan in a brave and bloody battle!"
Liu Xie was furious when he heard this and stood up from his seat.
"What! You killed Zhang Yan!"
The Western Region Changshi's Mansion is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, but because it is too far away from Liangzhou, it almost acts alone.
The Changshi Mansion is in charge of the entire vast Western Region, and its power is almost the same as that of the state pastor.
Liu Zhang executed Zhang Yan directly, which was no different from executing the state pastor appointed by the imperial court!
This also indicates that all the rights of the Western Region Changshi Mansion have been attributed to Liu Zhang?
"I'm asking you, Liu Zhang asked you to come, is there a new candidate for the history of the Western Regions?"
Xu Shu nodded and answered Liu Xie very definitely.
"Your Majesty is wise! The countries in the Western Region have just surrendered. Without a new Chang Shi, all previous efforts will be in vain."
"Qin Gong sincerely requests Your Majesty to appoint Cheng Gongying, the governor of Dunhuang County, to succeed the post of Chief Shi of the Western Regions, and Pan Feng, the guard of Yumen Pass, to succeed the post of Sima of the Western Regions Chief Historian!"
"Furthermore, the rights and status of the Western Region's chief historian should be placed above those of the county governor in order to manage the entire Western Region!"
"With these two people here, we can consolidate the Han's authority in the Western Regions!"
Liu Xie's face was extremely gloomy, and his anger slowly rose again.
Xu Shu sounded nice, but in fact he completely regarded Liu Xie as a fool!
This is not to manage the Western Regions on behalf of the imperial court. It completely eliminates the power of the imperial court in the Western Regions and completely turns the Western Regions into Liu Zhang's territory!
At this moment, Liu Xie also completely understood that there was no difference between Liu Zhang and Cao Cao, they were all the same!
He did not put the imperial court, the Han Dynasty, or the emperor in his eyes at all!
"Xu Shu, Zhang Yan is the long history of the Western Regions personally granted by the late emperor. How could you kill him without permission!"
Liu Xie's voice was extremely gloomy, and anyone could hear the anger in his heart.
What's more, Xu Shu's intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary people.
But Xu Shu didn't pay attention and looked directly at Cao Cao.
This is in the Xuchang court, even if you don't give Liu Xie face, you still have to give Cao Cao face.
Xu Shu believed that Cao Cao would not sit idly by and watch.
Sure enough, after getting Xu Shu's eyes, Cao Cao immediately turned around and looked at Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, didn't Xu Shu just say that?"
"Zhang Yan rebelled against his superiors and colluded with six chariot divisions in an attempt to rebel!"
"In the laws of the Han Dynasty, those who conspire against the Nine Clan must be killed!"
"The Duke of Qin executed Zhang Yan, the traitor, in full compliance with the laws of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao with confusion.
A brilliant plan that had just taken shape in my mind seemed to have come to nothing again.
In Liu Xie's view, shouldn't Cao Cao, who had destroyed Yuan Shao and unified Hebei, immediately point the finger at Liu Zhang?
No matter how friendly the two were before, they had to fight for the world and turn friends into enemies, fighting to the death!
But the reality seems to be completely opposite!
Liu Xie originally wanted to use the attack on the Western Regions to increase the discord between Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, so as to provoke a war between the two parties.
Now it seems that the situation is getting worse again.
However, Liu Xie was not willing to give up. As long as he could create obstacles for Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang would naturally blame Cao Cao for everything.
As long as Liu Zhang is disgusted to a certain extent, there is no fear that the two of them will fall out!
"Prime Minister Cao, whether Zhang Yan is treasonous is just a theory, there is no concrete evidence yet!"
"Even if it is a real rebellion, now that Zhang Yan has been defeated, he should be escorted back to Beijing!"
"Qin Gong executed Zhang Yan without authorization, and also recommended to me the chief historian and Sima of the Western Region's chief historian's mansion. Is this suspected of using power for personal gain?"
After Liu Xie finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shu with a hint of provocation.
It seems to be telling Xu Shu, don't think about exposing this matter easily!
But the next second, Cao Cao shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, the battlefield is changing rapidly. How can we delay national affairs because of a small Zhang Yan?"
"If the army is defeated because of capturing Zhang Yan alive, who will bear the responsibility?"
"Besides, what does Zhang Yan mean? Shouldn't Your Majesty be happy that the Western Regions have returned to the Han Dynasty?"
These three questions in a row made Liu Xie speechless, and he even began to doubt his life.
He really couldn't understand why Cao Cao and Liu Zhang were wearing the same pair of pants again?
Are the two planning to divide the world equally?
The more Liu Xie thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately made it clear to Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, is the Western Region returning to the Han Dynasty?"
The hall exploded again, with Liu Xie's words causing a lot of discussion.
Finally, Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to stand up.
"Prime Minister, I think your Majesty's words are reasonable!"
"It is true that Liu Zhang was the governor of Yong, Liang and Yizhou, but he did not have the right to use troops in the Western Regions without authorization."
"The chief historian of the Western Regions was once personally appointed by the late emperor, but now he is casually beheaded by Liu Zhang when the facts are not clear. Isn't it a little disrespectful to the court to take him seriously?"
Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he knew that Xun Yu would definitely stand up and speak for him.
Cao Cao didn't dare to offend him, so why didn't Liu Zhang dare to offend him?
Xun Yu usually hated rebellious ministers and traitors.
"Prime Minister, you see what Xun Lingjun said, Liu Zhang did go too far this time!"
Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu with some displeasure, not expecting that he would come out to cause trouble at this time.
Whether Liu Zhang will pay attention to the imperial court or Liu Xie, is there any need to explore?
Even an idiot knows that the emperor Xuchang is nothing to Liu Zhang!
In this case, does it make sense to pursue a little Zhang Yan?
Even if Cao Cao is confused and pursues such a meaningless matter, what can he do?
Are we going to send troops to attack Guanzhong and capture Liu Zhang?
"Is Xun Lingjun feeling a little uncomfortable today?"
"If you feel unwell, go back first and don't hold on!"
Cao Cao was both tactful and polite, which saved Xun Yu a lot of face.
If they quarreled openly in front of Xu Shu, it would inevitably make Liu Zhang laugh at Cao Cao's internal disharmony.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Cao, for your concern. I am in good health!"
Xun Yu didn't appreciate it at all and pointed the finger at Liu Zhang again.
"If the Prime Minister really cares, he should care about today's big man!"
"The big man is sick and has allowed many people with treacherous intentions to dominate one side and completely ignore the laws of the court!"
