Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 35: Above the court, outside the court

() Liu Xie's carriage galloped from the outskirts to the city, Lu Rui asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you still need a game with your Majesty?"

Liu Xie looked at Lu Rui with displeasure and said, "No need, Lu Aiqing!"

Hey, Liu Xie is upset, but what's the matter with me?I only watch good shows!

Soon, Liu Xie returned to the palace. After returning to the palace, Liu Xie did not rest, but issued an imperial decree to call a group of ministers for a court meeting!Poor ministers, who had just experienced Yang Fengzhi's chaos, were dragged to the hall by Liu Xie before they could take a breath.

The officials were all in a panic, and some of them were slightly injured, but there was no way, the emperor summoned them, and they still wanted to come.

Liu Xie looked at the officials below and was furious. What does this look like?Is this the end of a huge sacrifice to heaven?Where is the royal majesty?Cao Mengde? What do you want to do?

About an hour later, Cao Cao went up to the court with his sword in hand, followed by a group of civil and military personnel.Liu Xie saw Cao Cao's posture, another powerful minister?Liu agreed to calm down, then straightened his clothes and said, "Cao Aiqing, did Yang Feng catch it?"

Cao Cao arched his hands and said: "Report to Your Majesty, Yang Feng has escaped from Xudu under the cover of soldiers, and my subordinates will definitely try their best to capture him, so as to set the court order!"

When Liu Xie heard it, what?Have you deployed yet to capture Yang Feng?It is not clear whether Yang Feng is guilty or not. Now that he has escaped, there is no evidence. Cao Mengde, do you want to eradicate dissidents?

Liu Xie asked again: "How about the casualties of this rebellion?"

Xun You stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although Yang Feng's rebel army is powerful, the mob is nothing to fear. Our army did not suffer much loss, but many ministers in the court died at the hands of the rebels!" , Xun You handed over a list to Liu Xie.

After the little eunuch took the list, he handed it to Liu Xie. Liu Xie saw that one was unstable and fell on the throne. These people, these people were all ministers who ran away from Chang'an with him, and the Xiliang Army didn't want it anymore. Their fate, once Yang Fengzhi rebellion, they all died?

Liu Xie was no longer the same Liu Xie as before. He was still aware of Cao Cao's power in Yanzhou. Liu Xie suppressed his anger and asked, "Cao Aiqing, did Cao Aiqing know about Yang Feng's rebellion?"

Liu Xie had already asked Cao Cao this sentence in private, but when he asked it face to face in the court, the nature was different. Sure enough, when this question came out, it caused a thousand layers of excitement. The officials may not be capable, guess what? But the words are masters!

Some of the officials who were slightly injured began to blame Cao Cao, saying: "General Cao, did you make arrangements early? We are waiting for you and in danger?"

"Please Your Majesty, Abbot, be fair!"

Lu Rui looked at a group of courtiers who seemed to be crazy, and then at Cao Cao's staff.A group of idiots, did you see that old man Cheng Yu is counting your heads, you have all been located by Lao Cao's GPS, and you are stared at by Cheng Yu, you will die without bones left!

Seeing the ministers on both sides arguing, Liu Xie showed some weird smiles!Still laughing?Liu Xie, do you think these courtiers who support you will end well?Exposed, exposed, really young people can't hold their breath!Hehe, Father Zhong went to ransack the house and asked me to go, so I'll take the opportunity to make some money!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

A heavy voice penetrated the entire hall, and the officials on both sides were stunned for a moment. Is there a third party?Lu Rui took a look, oh, the old fox, it's this old fox, Yang Biao, the father of Yang Xiu, the old fox that Lao Cao and the little fart can't do anything about!

Liu Xie took a look, Yang Biao?Hehe, this old minister is a powerful character, Liu Xie coughed and said, "Old Taiwei, please tell me!"

Yang Biao arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty, General Cao deserves a reward for his meritorious service in calming the chaos. As for whether he knows in advance, this veteran thinks it is not important!"

As soon as Yang Biao's words fell, some of the courtiers stood up and said: "The ministers wait for the second!"

There is still a group of conscious courtiers!

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and recalled what had happened. He was too impulsive, and he didn't consider how to deal with the problem. Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Let's let this matter go, and all the lovers will step down! Leave it to General Cao and Taiwei Yang to take charge!"

Seeing this situation, the little eunuch shouted: "Retreat!" Everyone retreated one after another!

Liu Xie didn't call Cao Cao into the palace this time, and Cao Cao didn't stay long, but went back to his Sikong Mansion!Yushui Junchen?I'm afraid it will be difficult to see in the future!

"Master is back?" Mrs. Bian saw Cao Cao coming in at the gate, and Cao Pi waited for a group of boys to salute Cao Cao.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower now, tell the kitchen to prepare something, and don't let anyone bother me without my order!"

Mrs. Bian was stunned for a moment, bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"

"Father?" "Father!" Cao Cao ignored his children's calls and entered the mansion.

"Rui'er?" Mrs. Bian stopped Lu Rui, "Be good, it's none of my business!"

"Second Mother!" Lu Rui bowed to Mrs. Bian.

Mrs. Bian asked: "Rui'er? This is Master?"

Lu Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Father Zhong is in a bad mood. The rebels rebelled today, and Father Zhong went to put down the chaos!"

The news of Yang Feng's rebellion must have not spread so fast, because the court has not yet determined the sex!Mrs. Bian nodded and said: "So that's the case, Rui'er is also tired, go to rest!"

"Farewell, baby!" Lu Rui bowed his hands and retreated. Mrs. Bian is worthy of being the empress dowager of Wei in the future. She knows what to ask and what not to ask!

Lu Rui returned to his room, nainai, I'm exhausted today, let's get a good sleep first!Lu Rui thumped and fell on his bed, hugged the big tree of Lao Cao, and had a leisurely life!

Lu Rui slept until dinner time, huh!It's so comfortable, this is the life I want, Ling'er said from the side; "My lord, it's time to eat!"

Lu Rui nodded, changed his clothes, and went to the dining room to prepare for dinner.

"Ma'am, the master said no more!"

"What? Master won't eat?" Mrs. Ding glared at each other!

"Master has already eaten dinner, and now he is discussing matters with Mr. Xun and others."

"Well, since that's the case, let's eat it!" Mrs. Ding didn't say anything about Cao Cao's refusal to eat it. If Lao Cao doesn't eat it, let's eat it!

After dinner, Mrs. Ding left first, and the butler came to Lu Rui and cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, Master invites you to play chess with him!"

no?Lao Cao is so depressed that he wants to lose money?Okay, let's kill Lao Cao!

"Ruier?"

"Second mother?"

"I know your father's temperament. If you don't come out to eat, you must not be full. Here are some snacks made by Erniang. You can eat them with your father!"

"Yes, Erniang..." Lu Rui asked his servants to take the snacks, and then went to Cao Cao's residence.

Lu Rui came to Cao Cao's residence, which was Liu Xie's residence not long ago. At this time, things have changed!

Cao Cao was sitting in front of the chessboard at this moment, staring at the chessboard, wondering what he was thinking. "Father Zhong?"

"Rui'er, are you here? Alright, come and play chess with Father Zhong, Father Zhong has prepared a lot of things today!"

"Yes, Father Zhong!"

Cao Cao was clearly out of shape, and he lost a lot of money in less than an hour.Lu Rui received Cao Cao's money and said, "Father Zhong, you lost again today!"

Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui, smiled and said, "Rui'er, your chess skill is getting better and better, Zhongfu is getting worse and worse than you!"

"hey-hey!"

Looking at the happy Lu Rui, Cao Cao asked suddenly: "Ruier, if you treat someone sincerely and someone fails you, what will you do?"

Lu Rui froze for a moment, then looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao's expression was just a wry smile, was he disappointed?Is sad?No way of knowing, judging from Cao Cao's actions during this period, he is indeed a courtier of Kuangfu Dahan, but at this time when the imperial power is weak, conflicts with Liu Xie must be inevitable!This cannot be explained in a sentence or two.

Lu Rui scratched his head and said, "Father Zhong, if this is the case, I will no longer treat someone sincerely!"

"Won't you treat someone sincerely again?"

"Hahahaha, well said! I would rather let the people of the world lose me, than let the people of the world lose me!"

Cao Cao drew out his saber, and cut a seat next to him in half with one sword. This was Liu Xie's main seat here!

Lu Rui was taken aback by all this, didn't he say that Lao Cao was forced by himself? Nainai, I won't be famous in the future!Hey, from now on, history books will write like this, Lu Rui played chess with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao uttered a famous saying: I would rather lose the people of the world than let the people of the world lose me!

Just when Lu Rui was in love, the housekeeper suddenly came to report: "There is a big man outside the door asking to see him. His surname is Zhong, his name is Yao, and his character is Chang!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, and quickly asked the housekeeper to bring Zhong Yao in.Why did Zhong Yao come at this time?Cao Cao seems very happy?Thirsty for talents?It doesn't seem right, although Zhong Yao is a great talent, but Cao Cao's appearance seems to be that he has figured out something and is proud of it?Did Cao Cao know that Zhong Yao would come?

Soon, Zhong Yao came to the study under the leadership of the housekeeper.

"Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang, I have met Lord Sikong!"

"Yuan Chang, please get up quickly. I have been thinking about Yuan Chang for a long time. It is really a blessing to see you today!"

"Thank you, Lord Sikong!"

"Master Hou is here too? Zhong Yao has seen Lord Hou!"

Lu Rui was just counting the things that Cao Cao lost to him, and when Zhong Yao greeted him, Lu Rui raised his head and was stunned. Is this Zhong Yao?It seems that he is only in his 20s? No, Zhong Yao should be a middle-aged man in his 40s, so young?This is Zhong Yao who gave birth to Zhong Hui in his 70s?It will not be a monster!

Seeing Lu Rui staring at him, Zhong Yao asked, "Master Hou? What's wrong with Yuan Chang? Why is Master Hou looking at Yuan Chang like this?"

Nainai, you can't say that you know your actual age and think you are a monster?Lu Rui pointed to Zhong Yao and said, "Your hat is beautiful!" Zhong Yao is wearing a hat sold by merchants in the Western Regions this time. It is not common in the Central Plains, so it is probably to hide his identity!

Zhong Yao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master Hou, if you like it, Yuan Chang will give it to Master Hou?"

Lu Rui shook his head and said, "A gentleman does not take what others like!"

Seeing Lu Rui's old-fashioned appearance, Cao Cao and Zhong Yao burst out laughing.

After laughing, Zhong Yao and Cao Cao divided their seats, and after the servants served tea, Cao Cao got straight to the point, saying: "Yuan Chang, if Wen in the past recommended Yuan Chang to this Sikong, this Sikong would appreciate Yuan Chang." Chang'an's talent, Chang'an protected His Majesty from being slaughtered by the Xiliang army, Yuan Chang's contribution is indispensable!"

Zhong Yao cupped his hands and said, "Lord Sikong has praised you, this is Yuan Chang's duty!"

Cao Cao nodded, took a sip of tea, stared at Zhong Yao and said, "Yuan Chang, didn't you come to Sikong Mansion just to see this Sikong, and say, Yuan Chang's real intention here!"

It started, the formal dialogue started, Zhong Yao met Cao Cao's sharp gaze, and said unhurriedly: "When Yuan Chang first arrived in Xudu, he wanted to serve the imperial court, but he had nowhere to go. Now he came to Sikong Mansion, Seek a free job and be loyal to the big man!"

Nainai, Zhong Yao came to seek a job?Isn't this nonsense, if you want to work, you can work, what are you doing with so much nonsense!

Cao Cao rolled his eyes, as if he wanted to see Zhong Yao's flaws, but Zhong Yao kept looking at Cao Cao neither humble nor overbearing. I have always admired Yuan Chang's talent, and with Yuan Chang helping me, why not worry about a major failure?"

Zhong Yao cupped his hands and said: "Master Sikong is too famous, not only Yuan Chang, but many staff who admire Sir Sikong also hope to follow him!"

Cao Cao nodded and said: "I know, Yuan Chang, it's getting late, and I won't keep you anymore. Tomorrow I will send Gongda to visit your house. Today, I am a little tired."

Zhong Yao arched his hands and said, "Yuanchang, farewell!" Then the housekeeper took Zhong Yao out.After Zhong Yao left, a shadow appeared in the house again, nainai's, the shadow counselor came out again!

In the shadows, the counselor said: "Congratulations, my lord, it seems that people of insight in the court will support my lord!"

After Cao Cao heard this, he smiled, yes, the people of insight in the court really supported him, the world belongs to the Liu family, but the court belongs to the ministers!For the benefit of their respective families, they can only serve Cao Cao.just me!Cao Mengde, who is versatile in both civil and military affairs, is the one who can calm the world, and he is also the hero who can fight for the best interests of the officials!

"Everyone basically guessed right that one of the mysterious counselors is Xi Zhicai, but the mysterious counselors are a trio, known as: Cao Mengde's exclamation (this is familiar to everyone, just like Athena's exclamation, Cao Mengde's exclamation is shocking and weeping ghosts and gods! Disable Zhuge, harm Soochow)"
