Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 816 Another Huge Change

The matter of the coal mine is still fermenting!
And the weather is getting colder and colder. It seems that it is not yet the twelfth lunar month, but it has already covered the entire country with a layer of ice and snow!
The scope created by the unprecedented ice disaster is far more serious than the weather conjectured by those warlocks in the court!

If Cao Su hadn't introduced coal mines to the market at a very low price in advance this time, how many people would freeze to death!
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard the news, he applauded in public and laughed three times. In front of all civil and military officials, he directly gave Hanzhong tens of thousands of brocades, thousands of good horses and ten thousand taels of gold!

Moreover, Cao Su was directly granted the title of Marquis of Infinity, a rank three, implying immeasurable merits and virtues!
Naturally, Cao Cao would not refuse these seals!
Is that nonsense?
Cao Su is the Cao family, and Cao Cao is the prime minister. This is like turning left handed and right handed. The more the better, he is not brain-dead, how can he go back and refuse!

Although outsiders know that Cao Su and Cao Cao have actually severed ties and parted ways!
but……

So what?
never mind!

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty listened to those ministers, and every time he reported how happy the common people were when they used coal mines, he was very happy. If he was not in the court, he would like to have a bowl of chicken soup now!
However, he danced excitedly in the court, but the ministers in the audience had different expressions. They wanted to say something but dared not say anything. There was a little sullen expression everywhere, as if they were very disappointed with Cao Su's monopoly of coal mines. angry!
These ministers are almost all talents recommended by the major gentry, and their attention is naturally for the benefit of their own family. Cao Su's actions are nothing more than a slap in the face of all the gentry!

Only a few officials who came out of the humble family just secretly rejoiced, the excitement in the heart of the strong, and the incomparable admiration for Cao Su!
For these, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the side with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, saw it all!
And hit all these unhappy ministers in their hearts so that he can settle accounts in the future!
After all, these people who are not in the united front with his virtuous brother, he has to write them down in that little book, otherwise these people must be the first to turn against them if something happens in the future!
However, what he least expected was that Xun Yu also showed some displeasure!
You must know that for so many years, the one he trusted the most was Xun Yu!
No matter what, he would consult with him. Xun Yu was also the person who knew about his affairs the most after Cao Su left!
This made him a little unacceptable from the bottom of his heart, so Cao Cao's face was gloomy all the way up and down, and he used the briquette coal to reprimand all the ministers in the whole court, scolding all over his face, It has fooled many people!

How could I be criticized if I haven't done anything yet?
But being criticized, Cao Cao is now their immediate boss, they dare not speak, so they can only bite the bullet and listen to Cao Cao greeting them!
Of course, although Cao Cao is a person who is suspicious and ill on weekdays, his majesty is as irreversible as Mount Tai!
But for managing this matter, he is definitely a first-class existence!

They all greeted their ancestors again, so they have to be appeased no matter what!
Therefore, he specially dropped hundreds of tons of honeycomb coal from the treasury, and gave it to these ministers as a lucky draw for the beginning of the year, commonly known as the year-end bonus!
When those ministers saw the coal, their eyes lit up!
You must know that in the Huaxia Super Workshop, this briquette is very difficult to get!

In other words, it is very difficult to buy them, the children of aristocratic families!

Because there is a rule in the workshop, if you want to buy honeycomb coal, you must first verify the capital!

The more money you have, the less likely you are to buy briquettes!

On the other hand, those poor ones can still be ranked at the top!

In Cao Su's words, these people are called rigid needs!

And those children from aristocratic families have already hoarded firewood, so they are called non-rigid needs!

There are too many people buying coal mines, and it has turned into a lottery stage!
Therefore, people like them, especially those who have hoarded a lot of firewood, can't buy coal mines at all!
Now Cao Cao uses coal mines to collect people's hearts, which is definitely an extremely sharp method!

Therefore, these people were scolded, but got the coal mine, so instead of blaming them, they were grateful!

But what Cao Cao did quickly aroused Xun Yu's vigilance!

He has been in contact with Cao Cao for so many years, and he knows Cao Cao's personality very well!

Breaking such a large sum of money must be a conspiracy!

really!

After more than a month of winter has passed, the weather is gradually warming up, and the chilling glaciers are gradually receding!
As soon as the new year was over, Cao Cao summoned all court officials and held the first court meeting in the beginning of spring!
And the minister, who has enjoyed the benefits brought by the country, started Xun Yu's unexpected performance in the court...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prime minister acted righteously in honor of the heavens, wiped out bandits and thieves, destroyed Dong Zhuo, settled the north, successively recovered Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou and other places, and even led the army to recover the entire north. And his brother Cao Su, Helping the prime minister to pacify Hanzhong has brought blessings to the people all over the world, if not, how many people would have died of freezing last year!"

Liu Xie smiled and said:
"You are right. This world is preserved by the prime minister and Cao Aiqing in Hanzhong. I will always remember these kindnesses in my heart!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

And the minister continued to play:
"Nowadays, the world is peaceful, all thanks to the prime minister. For more than 30 years, the merits have been spread all over the world, and the reputation has spread all over the world. Even the Duke of Zhou, Lu Wang, is less than one ten thousandth of the prime minister. I would like to plead for the people of the world. Please give the prime minister the king. Add nine tins to show merit!"

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately walked out of the crowd and said to Liu Xie:

"The minister seconded the proposal! The prime minister should be promoted to king!"

"I think that the prime minister should not only be the king, but should also be crowned ten, ride in a golden chariot, drive six horses, and use the emperor's luan to go in and out!"

"The minister also agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

All the ministers spoke out one after another, causing many people present to change their faces!
And Xun Yu, who was present in the arena, had already widened his eyes, his face was extremely pale, and there was unbelievable anger in his eyes!
On the other hand, Liu Xie, Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, drank the chicken soup apologetically. He didn't feel that these people really humiliated him. He turned his head and asked Cao Cao:
"Ai Qing, what do you think?"

Cao Cao looked at these ministers who surrounded him, and kept his expressions!
He had expected what these people did today, and there was nothing surprising about it!
What surprised him was that Liu Xie didn't seem to be unhappy at all, which surprised him!
Brother, I'm about to become king!

I'm almost on an equal footing with you!
How can you be so heartless?
Cao Cao didn't know whether Liu Xie was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, so he smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, I have been Han ministers for generations, enjoying the state's favor from generation to generation. Although I have made some meritorious service, I still rely on the prestige of the Han emperor's ancestors. I dare not be promoted to the title!"
