Can I get to the other side?.
Chapter 11 Cao Cao was furious!
Chapter 11 Cao Cao was furious!
Yang Biao was not afraid of Cao Cao at all.
His character is just like his name, very strong and upright. He is also one of the most loyal people to the Han royal family.
When Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital with the emperor, he argued with him at the risk of his life.
If he is not afraid of Dong Zhuo, how could he be afraid of Cao Cao?
When Cao Cao asked the emperor to move the capital to Xu County, he strongly opposed it, but the situation was stronger than he was, so he had to comply.
This also led to his extremely bad impression of Cao Cao.
Now that Cao Cao was rejecting the emperor's requests to reward his ministers, how could Yang Biao bear it any longer?
"Cao Cao, although you have made great contributions in rescuing the emperor, don't forget that you are only a subject!"
Yang Biao raised his head and looked at Cao Cao, his eyes sharp, "As a minister, you must fulfill your duties. It is the emperor's power to reward someone. What does it have to do with you?"
"Are you trying to take over my job?"
Yang Biao's words were truly heart-piercing.
Yang Xiu, who was sitting next to Yang Biao, was sweating profusely. He pulled Yang Biao's sleeve and said anxiously in a low voice: "Father, stop talking..."
Who doesn’t know what Cao Cao’s purpose was in welcoming the emperor to Xu County?
By holding the emperor in his hands, he can act in the name of the emperor, just like Dong Zhuo who held the emperor hostage to control the princes!
But can you say such things?
Faced with his son's dissuasion, Yang Biao simply chose to ignore it. He straightened his back and stared at Cao Cao like two sharp swords.
The atmosphere in the hall became solemn.
"Lord Yang..."
Seeing the two people confronting each other, the emperor panicked for a moment and wanted to speak to mediate, but then Cao Cao spoke.
He only saw the wine glass in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Biao, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Mr. Yang has a strong character, and his reputation is well-deserved."
Yang Biao said calmly, "I don't deserve it. I am just used to speaking my mind. Cao Yanzhou is disrespectful to the emperor. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, I must protect your majesty."
"You old bastard! How dare you!"
A burly general became furious upon hearing this. He slammed the table and stood up, his hand already on the sword at his waist, as if to draw it.
"Xu Chu, don't be rude."
Cao Cao spoke up to stop him, then looked at Yang Biao and laughed: "It seems that Mr. Yang has a prejudice against me."
"The emperor wants to reward his ministers. I just first determine which ministers have made contributions, and then the emperor will reward them. How can I say that I am disrespectful?"
Yang Biao sneered, "Who has merit and who has not is up to you. If you draw up the list, I'm afraid that in the future, the court of our Han Dynasty will be filled with your retainers!"
"Your Majesty has just established the capital, the court has not yet been established, and the Han officials scattered across the country have not yet come to the court to pay homage to him. You want to intervene in the court and occupy an important position at this time. Do you really think that others can't see it?!"
As Yang Biao finished speaking, Yang Xiu closed his eyes in despair.
But Cao Cao still didn't care, and just said calmly: "Whether I, Cao Cao, have selfish motives or not, it's not up to Yang Gong to say, but only up to your Majesty to say."
As he spoke, he looked up at the Emperor.
"May I ask your majesty, does Cao have any selfish motives?"
For a moment, the eyes of many people in the hall were focused on the emperor.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the emperor's face turned pale, his eyes wandered between Cao Cao and Yang Biao for a long time, and finally he smiled and said: "Meng De is naturally selfless..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Biao's expression instantly dimmed.
Cao Cao could not help but burst into laughter, and many civil officials and generals in the hall also laughed along.
Yang Xiu rolled and crawled to the center of the hall, kowtowed to Cao Cao and begged, "My father spoke out of turn after drinking. Please don't hold it against him, Lord Sikong!"
Cao Cao didn't care at all: "You don't need to say more, Dezu. Yang Gong has been with the emperor for a long time and is an old minister of the court. I have always respected him, so how could I blame him?"
As he spoke, he raised his glass again and said to everyone in the hall with a loud laugh: "Come on, come on, let's drink. We won't go home until we are drunk today!" "Yes!"
The atmosphere in the hall became lively again, everyone was toasting each other, only Yang Biao sat in his seat with a dazed look on his face, not saying a word.
Yang Xiu looked at his father like this and didn't know how to comfort him, and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew his father's loyalty to the Han Dynasty, but from the moment the capital was moved to Xu County, the decline of the Han Dynasty was doomed, and the emperor would completely become a puppet of Cao Cao.
This is not something they can change.
The emperor above also noticed Yang Biao's expression. Although he felt guilty, he could do nothing but drown his sorrows in alcohol.
At this moment, a sudden voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Report——!"
The sound came from far away and soon a guard ran in.
"What do you want to report?"
Cao Cao frowned. He was very interested in this matter and was suddenly interrupted. Naturally, he felt very unhappy.
The guard looked embarrassed. He looked at the emperor above him, then at Cao Cao, not knowing how to answer. Finally, he lowered his head and handed over a report with both hands.
"give it to me."
During the banquet, a middle-aged scholar came out, picked up the report and looked at it carefully.
After a while, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"What's wrong, Wen Ruo?"
Seeing his expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.
Xun Yu is usually calm and composed, never showing his emotions. What could have happened that could make him change his expression on the spot?
"This……"
Xun Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only hand the report to Cao Cao and said, "You should read it yourself, my lord."
Cao Cao was confused, but he still took the report and opened it to read it carefully.
Soon, shock also spread across his face.
At the same time, there is unspeakable anger!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Yuan Shao, you are a traitor! An evil thief! A rebel! A traitor!"
Cao Cao cursed loudly and threw the report and the wine glass in his hand heavily to the ground, then raised his hand and overturned the table in front of him!
Even so, he still felt unsatisfied, so he raised his foot and stomped hard on the report with an extremely ferocious expression.
Such a big reaction shocked everyone in the hall.
Xun You couldn't help but ask, "My Lord, what is written in this report? Why did it make you so angry?"
Cao Cao's face was gloomy. He did not answer Xun You's words. He stood up and walked straight out of the hall, leaving everyone confused.
Cao Cao left, so Xun You could only turn his inquiring gaze to Xun Yu.
After all, Xun Yu was the first one to read this report.
Xun Yu sighed and said directly without keeping the secret, "The report said that Yuan Shao issued an edict to the world, saying that the lord is a traitor who usurped the country and wanted to do the same as Dong Zhuo by welcoming the emperor."
"It is also said that the emperor has fled to Jizhou and is preparing to establish his capital in Yecheng, calling on the wise men and officials of the world to come to the court."
The emperor...is in Jizhou?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all looked at the emperor sitting above.
So who is this emperor in front of them?
