Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 480 Targeting the Cao Family
As Cao Ang finished speaking, everyone present was a little unresponsive for a moment.

Although this reward is meant for Cao Ang and Cao Cao, if Cao Ang is not rewarded as a prince, then Cao Cao does not need to reward him here.

But now that Cao Ang stood up and said that this reward was inappropriate, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

Xun Yu's frown slowly relaxed. In his opinion, if Cao Ang could refuse the reward from this prince, it meant that he was still a Han official.

Guo Jia rubbed his chin and tried to figure out Cao Ang's thoughts. In fact, he couldn't understand why Cao Ang refused to be granted the title of Duke.

As for Hua Xin, who was the first to show off, his face was full of astonishment, and he was wondering if he shouldn't have jumped like this.

Dong Cheng's face was full of confusion. He couldn't understand why Cao Ang refused.

If this is to make progress by retreating, then rejecting the title of Marquis in public in the court means that it would be really difficult to be granted the title of Marquis again.

Dong Cheng glanced behind him in confusion, then frowned.

Cao Ang noticed Dong Cheng's every move, but he did not follow the other person's gaze because he had already guessed who Dong Cheng was looking at.

Cao Cao, who was sitting aside, was still drinking wine with an expressionless face, as if what was happening now had nothing to do with him.

Liu Bian glanced at Cao Cao who said nothing, and could only ask Cao Ang helplessly: "General Cao, why did you refuse my reward?"

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this and shook his head at Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, although I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies in this battle, the battle was fought by my generals and counselors."

"Relatively speaking, their contribution is far greater than that of me. Therefore, I feel that Your Majesty should reward them vigorously instead of giving the greatest credit to me."

After Liu Bian heard Cao Ang's explanation, he frowned and nodded.

"Since General Cao said this, I have nothing to say. I will just follow your wishes."

Later, under Liu Bian's instruction, some officials gave additional rewards to those who had just been rewarded.

After Cao Ang refused the reward, Dong Cheng could only retreat in anger.

With such an episode, the banquet ended quickly.

Liu Bian left the banquet unhappy because his reward for Cao Ang was not implemented.

As for the reward for Cao Ang, it was changed to some financial and verbal rewards.

After the banquet dispersed, Guo Jia took the initiative to find Cao Ang.

Guo Jia couldn't figure out why Cao Ang refused to be granted the title of Marquis, so he took the initiative to ask questions.

"Major General, I don't understand. Your Majesty just wanted to grant you the title of Duke. Why did you refuse?"

When Cao Ang heard Guo Jia's words, he laughed softly: "Fengxiao, I don't even care about this false reputation, why do you care so much?"

"For me and my father now, what does it matter whether we can make this king or marquis?"

"Instead of being blamed and resented by those old antiques, it is better to push them away directly. After all, what I want to do now is not to compete for fame and fortune with these people in the court, but to strive for peace in the world."

After hearing what Cao Ang said, Guo Jia was immediately in awe. He bowed to Cao Ang and said, "I'm so superficial." Cao Ang patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I've been away from Luoyang for so long. Come back quickly." Let’s take a look at it, but remember what the doctor told you before.”

After saying this, Cao Ang left with a smile.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Ang's leaving figure and couldn't help but think of the doctor's words: After many years of practicing, he has never seen such a good kidney.

Just when Guo Jia couldn't laugh or cry, Cheng Yu and others followed.

"Fengxiao, why did you let the major general go? We haven't asked him why he refused the reward." Xun You said to Guo Jia.

Cheng Yu on the side heard the words and nodded: "Yes, if the young general is granted the title of prince, then our status will also rise. I don't know why he refused."

When Guo Jia heard these words, he couldn't help but said helplessly: "Young General has been away on the war for so long, and there are so many lovely wives waiting for him at home. Naturally, he has to go home and see her."

"As for the title of marquis at the banquet just now... Do you think, with the current status of the young general and the lord, it makes any difference whether there is this prince or king?"

Everyone in the court knew that Guo Jiacheng Yu and others were important officials of the Cao Group.

Therefore, regardless of their official position, they are all polite to them.

Xu You, as a surrendered minister, said nothing at this time, because he originally thought that this time he would only offset his merits and demerits, and he would be exempted from guilt.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ang also won a reward for him, which made Xu You extremely grateful to him.

"This Cao Zixiu is much more generous than his father." Xu You said in his heart, but remained silent on the surface, listening to everyone's discussion.

Cheng Yu and others are all smart people. After listening to Guo Jia's words, they instantly understood Cao Ang's thoughts.

Now the court is under the control of the Cao family. Cao Cao is in charge of internal affairs and Cao Ang is in charge of military affairs. In addition, the emperor also obeys the words of the Cao family and his son, so it doesn't matter whether they have this title or not.

Anyway, the current government affairs are all decided by the Cao family.

On the other side, Dong Cheng stopped someone after the banquet dispersed.

"What's the matter with you? Why didn't you speak to me just now?" Dong Cheng frowned at the person in front of him and asked.

The person being questioned by Dong Cheng was none other than Na Fu Wan.

Fu Wan looked at Dong Cheng and explained helplessly: "What did you want me to say in the situation just now? Cao Cao didn't say a word, and Cao Ang refused the reward. What can I do if I stand up again? "

When Dong Cheng heard this, he also knew that what the other party said was reasonable, but he really couldn't bear it and the other party did nothing.

So Dong Cheng asked again: "What about now, just let the two thieves of the Cao family cause trouble to the government? One of these two people controls the government and the other controls the military affairs. They have already sidelined His Majesty!"

"Furthermore, His Majesty didn't know what kind of ecstasy was given to them by the two of them, but he actually obeyed them and even allowed them to monopolize power!"

After Fu Wan heard Dong Cheng's words, he took a deep look at the other party, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't worry, I still have a way, you don't have to worry, it's just that it's hard to say at the moment, just watch. .”

After saying this, Fu Wan said goodbye and left directly, leaving Dong Cheng where he was and sighing.
