Chapter 57 The Controversy in the Court

Chapter 57 The Controversy in the Court

Xudu, since Cao Cao welcomed the emperor back, it has suddenly become the political and cultural center of the entire Han Empire.

Countless buildings have sprung up from the ground, which can be regarded as a considerable expenditure for Cao Cao.

Compared with the benefits Cao Cao obtained, this expenditure is nothing!

"Everyone, the memorial sent by Mengchen, the governor of Xiliang, states that the Xiongnu and Xianbei will invade the south on a large scale."

In Cao Cao's mansion, Xi Zhong took the memorial that had just been delivered today, and said loudly to Cao Cao's subordinates.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won the discussion of everyone.

Leaving aside whether what Mengchen said is true or not, let alone the conflict between the Xiongnu and Xianbei, it is impossible to jointly send troops.

"My lord, the Xiongnu and Xianbei are feuds, and this boy Meng Chen probably did it on purpose!"

It was Cao Hong who spoke, and he knew a little bit about Meng Chen's rumors, but in Cao Hong's eyes, Meng Chen did it on purpose this time, and his purpose is self-evident.

"I agree with Zilian!" Cao Ren stood up and supported his brother.

Some people support it, and some people must oppose it. After all, if the Xiongnu and Xianbei are united, this power cannot be ignored.

Cao Cao didn't speak, and watched his subordinates arguing endlessly, without any change in facial expression.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then cleared his throat.

With such an action, it was natural to speak, and everyone hurriedly shut their mouths obediently, waiting for Cao Cao to speak.

"What does Zhicai think?"

"My lord, in my loyal opinion, this matter is not groundless."

"Zhongde's intention?"

"Yu, I appreciate the words of comrades."

"Wen Ruo?"

"What Zhicai said is very true!"

After asking the three major counselors under him one after another, all the generals looked dignified.Among other things, Xi Zhicai's ability is recognized by everyone.

What's more, Xun Yu, who has the "talent of Wang Zuo", also opened his mouth, and the matter is basically settled.

Cao Cao nodded, got up and stretched, and then said: "In this case, I will report to His Majesty tomorrow morning, and His Majesty will make a decision."

There is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's approach. After all, this is a major national event. Even if he wants to make a decision, he has to say it through the mouth of the emperor.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao presented Meng Chen's memorial, which immediately caused an uproar.

"Cao Sikong, is this serious?"

"I'm not familiar with the governor of Meng, so it's hard to make a judgment. But I'd rather believe it or not."

Cao Cao's words kicked the ball to the emperor. Meng Chen was canonized by the emperor himself, and Cao Cao had never seen it before. There is nothing wrong with these words.

Liu Xie was caught in a dilemma, but the second half of Cao Cao's sentence had already shown that he himself believed in this matter.

But right now, the court wants money but has no money, and food but no food, and even Cao Cao has not many troops in his hands.

Is it possible to let Cao Cao go out in person?But after Cao Cao left, Xudu must be empty, who will protect Xudu?
"Your Majesty, since Xiliang Inspector Mengchen knows the evil intentions of the Huns, why not take the initiative to attack?"

Dong Cheng was the first to jump out. Although he still had to fight Cao Cao in Xudu, his hatred for Meng Chen did not disappear at all.

"What Dong Taiwei said is different, Xiliang has not yet settled down, and the imperial court has no extra food and grass, so why take the initiative to say so."

Cao Cao opened his mouth. Dong Cheng's family doesn't understand military affairs at all, and they always jump out to show their presence.

If it weren't for the lack of strength now, it would be his turn to speak in this court.

"Your Majesty, I think you should send someone to warn Bingzhou Lu Bu and Youzhou Yuan Shao first, and prepare for defense."

Yang Biao's words made Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction. This is what the court ministers should do.

And Dong Cheng, an old bastard, doesn't think about anything except fighting for power and profit.

"Your Majesty should issue an imperial edict and order Meng Chen, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao to decide on their own!"

After saying this, Cao Cao retreated into the queue.

Meng Chen's memorial clearly states that food and military resources are needed, but it is impossible for him not to know the situation of the court.

In other words, on the one hand, Mengchen issued a warning, and on the other hand, he wanted power.

The imperial court may not allocate food, grass and military funds, but it must not interfere with his actions.

Although Liu Xie was young, of course he understood Cao Cao's meaning, so he hurriedly issued an imperial edict.

Ask Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Youzhou to recruit soldiers to resist.

As a last resort, the imperial court would send a large army to support it, but it didn't mention a single word about food and military supplies.

Dong Cheng's intention was unsuccessful, so he naturally put the account on Cao Cao's head.

But he didn't realize at all that it wasn't that Cao Cao didn't want to kill him, but that the time was not ripe.

Yang Biao looked at the backs of Dong Cheng leaving one after another, and shook his head helplessly. Even now, he still fantasizes about controlling the court, and he is really a fan of the authorities.

The emperor's work efficiency was still very high, and the imperial edict was sent out from Xudu that afternoon.

The news that the Xiongnu and Xianbei were preparing to invade the south quickly spread in Xudu.

"My lord, the common people are panicking. Someone must have done this on purpose."

"It's nothing, with Meng Chen's strength, the Huns must not be able to make waves, but some people in the court don't know what to do."

Holding the emperor to command the princes is a double-edged sword for Cao Cao. If it is not used well, it will not only hurt others but also hurt yourself.

At present, Cao Cao's foundation in the court is not stable. To put it bluntly, it is due to lack of strength.

But Cao Cao always believed that one day, he could only have his own voice in the court.

"Meng Chen, Meng Chen, let someone Cao see your true abilities."

……

"Ah!"

Meng Chen, who was far away in Chang'an, sneezed suddenly, then stretched out his right hand and rubbed his nose vigorously.

"My lord, did you catch the cold?" Cai Wenji asked with concern.

"One thought, two scolding, three feelings... It's okay, someone is thinking about me." Halfway through the words, Meng Chen realized something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words to fool him.

But Cai Wenji didn't care much about it, and Meng Chen uttered one or two incomprehensible words from time to time, and the whole governor's mansion was used to it.

"Young master, Yu'er is going to make a bowl of ginger soup." Yu'er said a word and wanted to leave.

"Stop it, stop it! What ginger soup do you drink on such a hot day? It would be great if there was iced watermelon!"

Meng Chen muttered to himself, then closed his eyes tightly, lying on the reclining chair newly made by Ma Jun, swaying leisurely.

Cai Yan and Yu'er beside him took a fan and swayed it gently.

Since ancient times, the beauty's nest has been the tomb of heroes, and Meng Chen is like this at this moment.

The exact time when the Xiongnu united with the Xianbei to invade the south is unclear, but it is estimated that it will be after the autumn harvest.

Now, there is still some time before the autumn harvest, it is rare for Meng Chen to have such leisure time to enjoy the happiness!

"Ding, Lao Qin's reputation has reached [-]%, and the host will get a gift bag."

At this moment, the loli voice in Meng Chen's mind came, and Meng Chen was ecstatic.

According to the nature of the system, this kind of prestige gift pack can definitely give out good things.

"System, open the gift package!"
