Xun Yu's attention was always on Cao Cao, wanting to see if he would get angry in public.
Will there be a rift with the hard-working myself for the sake of Wang Jue?
Although Cao Cao's face was as dark as water and unwavering, Xun Yu did not doubt the anger in Cao Cao's heart.
Not to mention Cao Cao, but who was blocked from becoming the king? How can I have no objection?
Now Xun Yu can't control that much anymore. The bottom line is that he must destroy this matter once!
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cao has been loyal and loyal for generations, and he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! I believe that Prime Minister Cao will never have such arrogance!"
Cao Cao still didn't express anything, but behind the calm, there seemed to be faint anger rippling.
Liu Xie couldn't control that much anymore, and he couldn't close the corners of his mouth because of his excitement.
In his opinion, Cao Cao did not dare to speak because he must be afraid of Xun Yu!
Liu Xie has even thought that if he tries to win over Xun Yu in the future, he may not be able to regain his power!
"Xun Lingjun's words are wrong!"
At this moment, Mao Jie, who had previously asked for rewards for Cao Cao, walked out of the team again.
"Your Majesty, if you don't reward me for your merits, you will be disappointed by your good deeds!"
"The Prime Minister has been in the military for nearly twenty years and has spent countless efforts to return the Central Plains and Hebei to the imperial rule!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that for such an achievement, it is greater than heaven!"
"Your Majesty, think about it. When Your Majesty was kidnapped by Li Jue and Guo Si, and suffered from cold and starvation in Luoyang, if the Prime Minister had not personally rescued him, how could he be where he is today?"
"Now, even the King of Qin feels that the Prime Minister's hard work has made great achievements, and he proposes that we should not be conservative in troubled times. How can your Majesty remain indifferent?"
Before the smile on Liu Xie's lips had time to dissipate, it was completely frozen on his face.
I thought that when Xun Yu came forward, no one among the ministers would dare to object.
Unexpectedly, there are still die-hard Cao Cao loyalists who can't hold themselves back!
"I wonder what the Prime Minister means?"
Liu Xie changed his mind and raised the issue directly to Cao Cao.
He just wanted to see if Cao Cao would say that he wanted to be king in front of Xun Yu.
At this time, the hall fell into silence again, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's next opinion will undoubtedly determine whether there will be a major change!
After a long time, Cao Cao coughed lightly, raised his hands and looked at Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, didn't Xun Lingjun say just now that I have been ministers of the Han Dynasty for all generations. I have received the country's favor in my life and never dared to think of arrogance."
"Although I have made many meritorious deeds, I do not rely entirely on myself, but more on the power of Your Majesty, the late Emperor and the Han Dynasty!"
"Therefore...I will take the throne as the king, and I...will never accept it!"
Cao Cao refused!
Liu Xie was overjoyed again, and his confidence was instantly sufficient.
He looked directly at the ministers below and shouted domineeringly.
"My dear friends, who has anything to say?"
Liu Xie sneered again and again, but he didn't believe it. Cao Cao had already said this, who dared to say anything!
But there were some people who did not believe in evil. As soon as he finished speaking, another person made a mistake.
It was Cheng Yu, a military advisor under Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty, most of the rebels in the world have been wiped out, but there are still people like Liu Bei and Sun Quan who are trying to usurp the Han Dynasty!"
"Qin Gong Liu Zhang only pacified the three states of Yi, Yong, and Liang, and was granted the title of Duke and King by His Majesty. However, Prime Minister Cao indeed pacified Yan, Yu, Si, Xu, Qing, Ji, You, and the eight states one after another. land!"
"Is there any reason why one who pacifies three states can be called king, but one who pacifies eight states should not be rewarded?"
"Now the soldiers and civilians of the eight states are eagerly waiting for your Majesty to confer a title to Prime Minister Cao, so as to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies and wipe out the rebels in the world in one fell swoop!"
"If Your Majesty does not reward you for your merits, which will chill the hearts of millions of soldiers and civilians, I am afraid that civil strife will break out and a catastrophe will come, and even Your Majesty will not be able to survive!"
hiss. . . !
The ministers on both sides couldn't help but gasped. They didn't expect Cheng Zhongde to be so bold and threaten the emperor in public.
Listening to what he said, if Cao Cao is not given the title of king, the emperor Liu Xie will not be able to do it?
Xun Yu turned his head and stared at Cheng Yu silently, with anger, doubt, and disappointment in his eyes.
He never expected that Cheng Yu would have this attitude.
Liu Xie had the fury of thunder in his heart, and he had long disliked Cheng Yu.
Unexpectedly, he actually dared to threaten the emperor in public!
"Procedure..."
"His Majesty!"
At this moment, a voice sounded, which immediately caused a commotion in the court.
Cui Yan is a representative of the Qinghe Cui family in Hebei.
It can also be said that he is currently the representative figure of the entire Hebei family after the Yuan family.
Cui Yan had just surrendered and came to Xuchang for the first time.
Normally speaking, although Cui Yan has an important status, he is still a newcomer to the court and is not qualified to speak in the court.
But now that Cui Yan has come out, no one will doubt that he can cause violent turmoil.
Cui Yan's words almost represent the attitude of the entire Hebei family.
It can be said that Cui Yan can compete with Xun Yu, the current leader of the Yingchuan family!
However, if Cui Yan objects to Cao Cao becoming king, then the matter will definitely end in vain.
Unless Cao Cao wants all eight states under his command to fall into war!
"Qinghe Cui Yan, meet your Majesty!"
Cui Yan first introduced himself, which instantly made Liu Xie's spirit tense.
Liu Xie is not a fool, he understands Cui Yan's weight very well.
"Cui Qing, there is no need to be polite!"
"I wonder what you think about the Prime Minister conferring the title of king?"
Cui Yan did not rush to answer, but glanced at everyone.
Soon, he had a calculation in his mind.
"Your Majesty, when Yuan Benchu separatized Hebei, the people were suffering, the people were in dire straits, and countless people died in vain every year!"
"The key to the prime minister leading the king's army to defeat the Yuan family in one fell swoop lies in the will of the people!"
"The ministers came all the way to Hebei and all the states in the Central Plains, and the people in each state all turned to the Prime Minister, hoping to have a stable and happy life under the leadership of the Prime Minister!"
"Your Majesty, can you understand... public opinion?"
Liu Xiehou gritted his molars and could only curse himself for being naive for pinning his hopes on Cui Yan.
"Cui Qing means...that public opinion wants the prime minister to be promoted to a royal title?"
Cui Yan smiled and ignored Liu Xie's anger.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard a saying, 'The king is like a boat; the common people are like water. Water carries the boat, and water overturns the boat'!"
"Only if we live up to the expectations of the people, can the people carry His Majesty's dragon boat forward! On the contrary,...hehehe..."
Liu Xie's eyes narrowed into a slit. Unexpectedly, he was greeted with a smile and threatened again!
First it was Cheng Yu, then Cui Yan. More and more people no longer took the emperor's status seriously!
"I... I certainly understand this truth!"
"But the Prime Minister doesn't want to do it himself. What can I do?"
"I want to make the Prime Minister a king, but he won't let me!"
"You said that, right?"
