Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 231 Cao Cao’s ambition to become emperor!

Liu Xie pondered for a moment, naturally very reluctant in his heart.

After all, it was clearly him, the emperor, who decided whether to hunt or not.

But now Cao Cao is acting on his behalf, and only informs him before setting off, or even orders him.

This is a transgression!
There was a faint anger in Liu Xie's heart.

"My dear, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go hunting now."

Cao Cao looked calm and said slowly: "Of course it's appropriate."

"In ancient times, emperors had to hunt regularly, which was called spring hunting, summer hunting, autumn hunting, and winter hunting, to show their strength to the world."

"Nowadays, the rebellious ministers and traitors are all very ambitious. Even Wuhuan dares to invade our territory. This is the time to go hunting and show force."

Although he was well-founded, Cao Cao's expression showed no pleading, only orders.

Liu Xie felt bitter in his heart. It was really sad that he, the emperor, could not decide even such a thing.

He knew he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and said: "In that case, then do what Aiqing wants."

Soon, Cao Cao and Liu Xie left the city.

The mighty army also followed them, and all the civil and military officials were forcibly taken to the hunting ground.

Even if someone didn't want to come, Cao Cao would send someone to pick him up personally.

This makes many people very confused, what exactly is Cao Cao going to do?
After arriving at the hunting ground, Cao Cao and Liu Xie changed onto horses.

What Cao Cao has on his crotch is his BMW, named Zhuhuang Feidian, while what Liu Xie has on his crotch is an ordinary war horse.

Moreover, Cao Cao's BMW is tall and makes Cao Cao even more imposing.

On the other hand, Liu Xie was already weak in front of Cao Cao. In comparison, he was more like a follower around Cao Cao.

"Cao Cao must have done it on purpose, damn it!"

"The hateful Cao Cao actually tried to overwhelm the emperor. Could he be rebellious?"

Some ministers were gritting their teeth secretly at this time, looking sad and angry.

They were loyal men, so naturally they couldn't see Cao Cao like this.

Ye Fan was also among the crowd, but the expression on his face did not change.

In his opinion, Liu Xie, who had no strength, could not compare with Cao Cao.

Without Cao Cao, the Han Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

"Your Majesty, the hunting ground has been surrounded by a large army. It is more than three hundred miles away. Your Majesty can hunt to your heart's content without worrying about danger."

Cao Cao said pretendingly.

Liu Xie was extremely resentful. Cao Cao made him lose his dignity in front of all civil and military officials, which was simply a rebellion.

But he didn't have the courage to fall out with Cao Cao, so he could only nod hypocritically.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern."

Soon, Cao Cao and Liu Xie set off, riding ahead.

Behind them are Cao Cao's confidant school officials, Ye Fan, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others, while the civil and military officials are at the back and cannot approach Cao Cao at all.

Cao Cao and Liu Xie in front were supposed to have two horses running abreast, but Cao Cao's horse was one head ahead of Liu Xie's horse.

Naturally, this scene was not hidden from the people behind, and Cao Cao did not bother to cover it up.

He surpassed Liu Xie by this distance just to tell the world that he, Cao Cao, was already superior to the emperor.

And if he wanted to be the emperor, it was only a matter of thought.

The resentment in Liu Xie's heart became deeper and deeper, and his face became ugly.

Some ministers in the rear were even more angry and scolded Cao Cao thousands of times in their hearts.

Ye Fan followed behind on horseback, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He finally understood the purpose of Cao Cao's hunting today, which was to test the civil and military officials.

Let's see how many people would support him if he deposed the emperor and established himself as king.

"The ambition is getting bigger and bigger." Ye Fan sighed in a low voice.

Xun Yu, who was not far away, was extremely uneasy at the moment. He wanted to step forward to stop Cao Cao, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would be detrimental to the emperor. After all, this hunting ground is filled with Cao Cao's army.

As long as he gives an order, Cao Cao alone has the final say as to how many people can leave today.

"Ugh."

He sighed and could only hold back.

At this moment, a deer suddenly rushed out from ahead.

Liu Xie was already angry, and now he wanted to vent his anger.

So he picked up his bow and arrow and shot three arrows in a row, but none of them touched the deer.

"Damn it!"

Liu Xie cursed secretly, his expression ferocious.

Cao Cao had imprisoned him in the palace and monitored his every move. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was powerless.

"Haha, look at me."

When Cao Cao saw this, he laughed twice, took the bow and arrow directly from the emperor's hand, and shot an arrow.

Whoosh!
The bow and arrow hit the elk accurately, and the elk fell to the ground and twitched.

"Long live, long live!"

In an instant, there were shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

This was originally a title for the emperor, but now it is used to address Cao Cao.

Liu Xie's silver teeth were almost broken. He stared at the elk in front of him and clenched his fists, but he dared not speak in anger.

At this time, Cao Cao was almost tantamount to treason!

Xun Yu also showed dissatisfaction on his face, and the reactions of the surrounding soldiers were clearly planned by Cao Cao in advance.

This act of transgression filled his heart with anger.

But like Liu Xie, he did not dare to anger the current Cao Cao, so he could only endure it.

But Ye Fan looked indifferent, as if he didn't hear the sounds around him.

But he saw that Xu Chu, Cheng Yu and others were looking back at the civil and military officials.

All the civil and military officials had different expressions at this moment, some were angry, and some were lamenting.

Little did they know that their expressions had been recorded by Xu Chu and others.

Chapter 225 A test

On the hunting ground, Cao Cao made many arrogant acts.

Especially when the soldiers shouted long live, they clearly put themselves in the position of the emperor.

Such a decision naturally caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

It's just that these people, like Liu Xie, are afraid of Cao Cao's power and dare not say anything.

After the hunt, Cao Cao sent people back to the palace, dismissed the civil and military officials, and then took the people back to his Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xu Chu, Cheng Yu and other confidants all followed Cao Cao back.

"Xu Chu, when the soldiers shouted long live today, what was the reaction of the civil and military officials?"

Xu Chu received Cao Cao's order in advance, so he immediately stepped forward and told what he had discovered.

"Prime Minister, those people seemed very angry after hearing this. Only a small number of people did not react violently."

"But there are a few old guys who seem to be insulting the Prime Minister in a low voice. It's so abominable!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows. He didn't feel too angry, but sighed deeply.

Xu Chu naturally could not guess what Cao Cao was thinking, and he was only loyal to Cao Cao, so he only stood on Cao Cao's side.

So he said: "Prime Minister, why don't I arrest all these people!"

"If there is no prime minister, how can the emperor have a chance to hunt? These old guys are simply stupid. They don't know what is good and what is good. They should be taught a lesson!"
