Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 46 The Palace Kills Yang Feng
  "Then tell me, dear, where should I move the capital?"

Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "Xuxian County in Yuzhou, a place with outstanding people and places that governs the six states of Bing, Ji, Yan, Yu, Yang, and Jing, is the imperial capital given by God."

For a time, the ministers were furious. If they came from later generations, they would definitely use a more appropriate word to describe Cao Cao, that is, "double standards."

Are you kidding me? Chang'an is the place where the Fourth War was fought, but Xu County is not?
  Moreover, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou are the areas hardest hit by the Yellow Turbans, and the situation will only be more chaotic than Chang'an.

"Bah, Cao Cao, you are shameless."

"Chang'an was the place of the Four War, but isn't Xu County the place of the Four War?"

Cao Cao continued: "Your Majesty, the land of Sili is long and narrow, and it is difficult to take care of both the beginning and the end. Cao Cao's remaining 30,000 soldiers are not enough to defend the city, let alone regain their homeland. Xu County is different. The terrain of Yuzhou and Yanzhou is solid, and the soldiers It is indeed the best choice to be stationed in Xu County to protect the safety of the emperor while also taking care of the surrounding counties. As long as His Majesty prepares his troops, we can send troops out of Xu County to take over the six states in the world and return them to the imperial court."

Liu Xie couldn't make up his mind for a while: "Relocating the capital is a big deal. Let me discuss it with you. My dear, I can tell you the second point."

Cao Cao said calmly: "Delegate power."

“How to delegate power.”

"The world is so heavy that it is difficult to recover. Severe cases require strong medicine. As the emperor, Your Majesty should sit in Xu County to reassure the army. Outside, we need a man who can conquer and fight well to regain his homeland. Please re-introduce the prime minister system. Cao is not talented, so he invites himself to be the prime minister. For Your Majesty will consolidate the territory and expand it, and suppress the rebels from all directions. If the internal and external parties are united, in ten years, the world will be at peace."

"Your Majesty!"

"Cao Mengde is ambitious and wants to imitate Dong Zhuo of Xiliang!"

"Your Majesty, never listen to the words of jackals, tigers and leopards!"

The reason why the prime minister system was abolished is because the prime minister has too much power, grasps the military, political and financial power, and ranks above the three princes. If the prime minister is weak, it will be fine. If the prime minister is strong, the emperor sitting in the court will really become a decoration.

"Hmph, if I follow the example of Dong Zhuo of Xiliang, will all the public security be in danger? I, Cao Mengde, assassinate Dong alone, issue edicts to gather all the princes and diligent kings in the world, and hide from Zhang Wu to kill Dong in secret. Each of these things only lasts ten months. In the meantime, have you forgotten? I, Cao Cao, am loyal to the Han Dynasty and to the Emperor. This heart can be revealed to the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon."

Cao Cao suddenly raised his voice: "I, Cao Mengde, am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

The soldiers outside the palace shouted at the same time.

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

The momentum is soaring.

All the emperors and ministers in the court were photographed by Cao Cao's military power and dared not speak. Only Yang Feng stepped forward, covering his chest and pointing at Cao Cao's nose: "Cao Cao! The emperor has the final say on how the world will be. You must be acting in such a perverse way because you want to take charge of the world. You dare to say that you are loyal to His Majesty! How different are you from a rebel!"

Facing Yang Feng's accusation, Cao Cao said nothing, but turned around and gave Zhang Wu a look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Zhang Wu understood immediately, raised his Overlord Spear, and shouted angrily: "Baibo thief! How can I allow you to slander the Prime Minister's loyalty!"

The strong man behind Yang Feng rushed out quickly. Unfortunately, because he was following Yang Feng to meet the emperor, he disarmed his weapon. He only had a pair of iron fists left, but he was not afraid of death and hit the body of the Overlord Spear directly.

Zhang Wu's strength was not something that a strong man could withstand even if he didn't use any deliberate force. With a flick of the gun's body, it directly broke a pair of arms of the strong man, and the gun's power continued unabated and it was directed at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng was frightened immediately, turned around and wanted to run, but found an extra gun tip on his chest. He didn't even have time to scream, and he stopped breathing.

Cao Cao was immediately furious and kicked Zhang Wu on the back, causing Zhang Wu to stumble: "Zhang Wu! Above the main hall, in front of the emperor, how dare you be so presumptuous! If it weren't for your outstanding achievements, how could you still do it?" Since you can serve the great Han, I will kill you now to appease General Yang’s soul in heaven. Go back and get a hundred whips. If you do it again, you will be killed without mercy!” Zhang Wu turned around in aggrieved manner and raised his hands to Cao Cao: "promise."

Cao Cao was "heartbroken" and helped Yang Feng's general to comfort him.

Zhang Wu then complained and left the hall.

At this moment, Zhang Wu felt happy. The two of them killed a cavalry general while singing and harmonizing. The resentment he had felt for many days was relieved, and he felt refreshed and in good spirits.

Zhang Wu couldn't help but sigh to himself: It's still more comfortable to follow Boss Cao.

When he walked to the palace gate, Zhang Wu suddenly found that his points had inexplicably increased by 500 points to 674, so he turned around and took a look at the strong man.

Name: Xu Huang

Force: 96
  Commander: 90
  Resourcefulness: 72
  Politics: 28
  Skill: Iron Wall: When leading an army to defend a city, commander +5, force +3.

"Boss Cao still has some skills. I have a system to detect talents. He can spot Xu Huang's uniqueness with his naked eyes and come forward to win over him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't accept it."

Seeing Zhang Wu come out, Guo Jia went straight to greet him: "Zi Qian, I see you are smiling, but you got what you wanted?"

"Hehe, that's not the case, but...it's a certainty."

"There's nothing to do here. Let's go and buy me a drink."

Your uncle, your boss is still in Deyang Palace. Is it appropriate to abandon the master so righteously and go have a drink by yourself?

Guo Jia seemed to see through Zhang Wu's mind at a glance and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I ordered General Yuan Rang to prepare a big gift for the little emperor. My lord must be fine. Come on, hurry up. I miss the wine in Master Cai's house." ”

Guo Jia was a monster with a 99% resourcefulness. Anyway, he said everything was fine and it was not Zhang Wu's turn to worry about it. The two of them went back home happily to drink.

Cao Cao didn't know that he had been abandoned by his two friends, but he was still shamelessly showing his loyalty and drawing a blueprint in Deyang Palace.

All the court officials were said by him to be worthless, failing to achieve anything but failing.

Unfortunately, everything he said was true, and he didn't even give anyone a chance to argue.

I, Cao Cao, said that when Dong Zhuo comes, you will just hold your head at home and cry, right? That's right!

I, Cao Cao, said that you only dare to talk about Dong Zhuo behind his back and dare not say a word to his face, right? That’s right!
  I, Cao Cao, said that Luoyang was burned to the ground and all you dared to do was hide in your house and tremble, right? Even more correct!

Comparing the two, Cao Mengde was directly upgraded in Liu Xie's eyes to become a capable minister who could help the world, and he could rely on his right-hand man.

The reason why sophistry is so powerful is that it only highlights a point from the side, thereby ignoring the essence of the problem.

If Cao Cao is Liu Xie's right-hand man, then the core problem lies not in Cao Cao's talent, but in Cao Cao's loyalty. Otherwise, Cao Cao will be the most deadly poison in the Han Dynasty.

Loyalty is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is not all based on Cao Cao's words.

Liu Xie even forgot that the wise kings in the history of the Han Dynasty used the most slippery imperial method - checks and balances.

Can loyalty be said to be loyalty? The emperor doesn't believe it, so he specially raises a competitor for you. This is a check and balance.
