"Today I promote Prime Minister Cao Cao to be the King of Wei, and allow him to establish a kingdom, install hundreds of officials, and enshrine the ancestral temple."
"The fiefdom is...all the prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River, and the capital of the country is Yecheng."
The ministers who prostrated themselves on the ground were shocked by Liu Xie's generosity.
It was originally thought that Liu Gui intended Jizhou as the boundary and divided several counties around Wei County under Cao Cao's Wei State.
I didn’t expect that the whole of Hebei would be sent away in one fell swoop!
For Liu Xie, it's not that he is generous, but that it really doesn't matter.
So what if a county is granted to Cao Cao? Wouldn't Hebei still listen to Cao Cao?
In this case, it is better to be generous and give him all of Hebei.
In order to avoid trouble coming to you again in the future, you will continue to increase your fiefdom!
With one step in place, you, Cao Cao, will no longer be able to find any faults.
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao, thanks you for your kindness!"
Cao Cao quickly leaned over slightly to express his gratitude to Liu Xie.
His face was still calm, but in fact, his heart was already extremely ecstatic.
Such a difficult step was finally taken successfully!
From today on, he is the distinguished King of Wei.
From this moment on, Cao Cao's heart directly sublimated.
Wang Jue is a step towards a historical moment.
Liu Xie didn't care about Cao Cao's arrogance, nor did he care that Cao Cao didn't kneel down to thank him, but asked him a question in a cold voice.
"King Wei, are you so anxious to thank me? I haven't finished my reward yet!"
There is no reward for adding nine tins, ten fine crowns, riding a golden chariot, driving six horses, etc.
The King of Wei does not have these.
Liu Xie couldn't help but look down upon Cao Cao with excitement hidden in his eyes.
Would someone as powerful as Cao Cao be so impatient?
Cao Cao shook his head gently.
"Your Majesty, that's enough."
"enough?"
Liu Xie didn't understand what Cao Cao meant. Could it be that Cao Cao only wanted the title of King of Wei?
Don’t want anything else?
Is this still the Cao thief Liu Xie knew?
That greedy thief who wants everything?
Cao Cao stepped forward slightly and explained to Liu Xie in a very low voice.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that if you perform meritorious service in the future, Your Majesty will have nothing to reward..."
solitary!
Liu Xie's eyes twitched, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Cao Cao integrated in really quickly!
"The King of Wei is joking, isn't my position still reserved for the King of Wei?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look sideways.
I didn’t expect Liu Xie, who was extremely cowardly, to be able to say such decisive words!
"Your Majesty is joking! I am a minister, and Your Majesty is the king. How dare I overstep my bounds?"
Liu Xie smiled contemptuously and ignored the sarcastic words.
A man who claims to be Wang Jianguo actually claims that he dare not overstep his bounds!
What should be given was given, and what should not be given was given. As for what Cao Cao did not want, Liu Xie would not force it.
But one thing is certain, Liu Xie can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Cao Cao did not embarrass Liu Xie anymore, but turned to face the ministers.
"Dear ministers, Cao is able to be where he is today, firstly, because of your majesty's kindness, and secondly, because of your trust!"
The civil and military ministers on both sides bowed together again, but this time it was not the Emperor Liu Xie who bowed.
"I will pay my respects to the King of Wei!"
"Hahaha...!"
Cao Cao's nostrils turned upward with pride, and he couldn't stop laughing upwards.
This feeling is so infatuating and inextricable!
"Congratulations to Prime Minister Cao for being crowned King of Wei!"
Xu Shu leaned over and held his hands, congratulating Cao Cao at the most appropriate moment.
Because he was a minister of the King of Qin, he did not bow down to the King of Wei Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was so proud that he didn't care at all.
Furthermore, without Xu Shu, how could he have obtained the position of King of Wei so easily?
"Hahaha, Mr. Xu is so polite!"
"Please ask Mr. Xu to replace...Gu! Say hello to King Qin!"
As soon as this lonely word came out, the hall was filled with awe.
The ministers who loved Cao Cao were extremely excited, and their eyes were full of fire.
They seemed to have seen what a huge reward Cao Cao would receive for his support when he founded the country!
"King Wei, your Majesty just promised to reward you with nine tins, a ten-pin crown, a golden chariot, six horses, and the Emperor Luan Yi when you go in and out..."
Xiahou Dun winked at Cao Cao repeatedly, telling him not to forget.
There is still a big difference between yes and no.
Liu Xie awarded the reward, then Cao Cao was justified.
Liu Xie didn't give him a reward, and if Cao Cao used it again, he would be called trespassing.
As the king of Wei, can he be too casual when entering and exiting the ceremonial guard and driving his car?
Furthermore, the King of Qin Liu Zhang had it, so why didn’t the King of Wei not have it?
"My lords, please stand up."
Cao Cao nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.
It's not that he doesn't want it, but he has some concerns.
"All the ministers, I am a humble person, but I am favored by His Majesty. I am truly frightened in my heart!"
"Eating the emperor's wealth means being loyal to the emperor! I must not betray His Majesty's trust and kindness!"
"I have decided that after the founding of the country in Yecheng, I will immediately raise troops to go south to Jingxiang to annihilate the big-eared traitor Liu Bei for Your Majesty, and return Jingzhou to the rule of the imperial court!"
All the ministers showed signs of sudden realization, and now they understood why Cao Cao refused other rewards.
Keep something for Liu Xie and reward him after he wins another battle!
What if everything is sealed this time, Liu Bei is destroyed, and Jing Xiang is defeated?
Liu Xie really has nothing to seal!
At that time, will Cao Wei's officials ask Liu Xie to move his position?
"King Wei, do you really want to go south to Jingxiang?"
Liu Xie was very surprised, thinking that Cao Cao had just deceived him.
"Your Majesty, if I don't go south to Jingzhou, wouldn't I be betraying your Majesty's trust?"
I have to say that Liu Xie was somewhat grateful to Cao Cao.
It's just like what he said just now, add Jiuxi and other things to the others, wait until Jingxiang is defeated!
This is undoubtedly a reassurance for Liu Xie, and at least in the next few years, you can sit in the position of emperor with peace of mind.
"King Wei... he is so loyal..."
Liu Xie was not a sarcastic satire on Cao Cao. He was really relieved this time.
Everyone knows that Liu Bei has just been defeated by Liu Zhang, King of Qin, and suffered numerous casualties.
With Cao Cao's current power, it is easy to defeat Liu Bei, and there is almost no possibility of failure.
After Liu Bei was destroyed, he was granted the title of King of Wei with nine tins, a ten-pin crown, a golden chariot and six horses.
After destroying Sun Quan, the king of Wei was granted the title of Emperor Luan.
After Liu Zhang was killed, Liu Xie didn't have to think so much and simply gave up his position to end this miserable life.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie smiled mockingly.
That's good too. . .
But at this moment, objections came from the palace, and Cao Cao was still faced with it.
"King Wei, although I am a foreign minister, I still advise King Wei to think twice!"
"Jingxiang and Liu Bei may seem vulnerable, but they are actually extremely difficult to deal with!"
"For the sake of the people of the Central Plains and Hebei and the reputation of King Wei himself, I also ask King Wei to take back his orders and govern the provinces and counties with peace of mind!"
Xu Shu, an outsider, directly affected Cao Cao's military morale and fighting spirit in front of all the civil and military officials.
Before Cao Cao could speak, Xiahou Dun on the side snorted angrily.
"Xu Yuanzhi, don't talk nonsense again!"
"If I go there personally, I can take off the big-eared thief's head within five days!"
