Can I get to the other side?

Yang Biao was not afraid of Cao Cao at all.

His character is just like his name, very strong and upright. At the same time, 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 risked his life to argue with him.

Even Dong Zhuo wasn't afraid, so how could he be afraid of Cao Cao?

This time Cao Cao asked the emperor to move the capital to Xu County, and he strongly opposed it, but the situation was stronger than the others, so he had to comply.

This also led to his extremely poor impression of Cao Cao.

Now seeing that the emperor was rejected by Cao Cao even for his own reward to the ministers, how could Yang Biao endure it?

"Cao Cao, although you have made great achievements in rescuing the emperor, don't forget that you are just a minister!"

Yang Biao raised his head and looked at Cao Cao with sharp eyes, "Being a minister must have the duty of being a minister. Whoever the emperor rewards is the emperor's right. What does it have to do with you?"

"Is it possible that you want to overtake me?"

Yang Biao's words can be described as heart-breaking words.

Yang Xiu, who was sitting next to Yang Biao, was already sweating profusely. While tugging on Yang Biao's sleeves, he whispered urgently: "Father, stop talking..."

Who doesn’t know the purpose of Cao Cao welcoming the Emperor to Xu County?

With the Emperor in his hands, he can act in the Emperor's name, just like Dong Zhuo who used the Emperor to control the princes!

But can you say this?

Faced with his son's dissuasion, Yang Biao simply chose to ignore it. He straightened his back and looked straight at Cao Cao like two sharp swords.

The atmosphere in the hall became solemn as a result.

"Yang Aiqing..."

Seeing the two people confronting each other, the emperor panicked for a moment and wanted to mediate, but then Cao Cao spoke.

I saw the wine glass in his hand. He squinted at Yang Biao and said with a smile: "I have heard that Mr. Yang has a strong character. He really deserves his reputation."

Yang Biao said calmly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just used to being outspoken. Cao Yanzhou disrespects the emperor. As a subject of the Han Dynasty, I naturally have to protect your majesty's integrity."

"Old man! You are so presumptuous!"

A burly military general was furious when he heard this. He slapped the table and stood up. His hand was already on the sword at his waist, ready to pull out.

"Xu Chu, don't be rude."

Cao Cao stopped him, then looked at Yang Biao and smiled: "It seems that Mr. Yang is quite prejudiced against me."

"When the emperor wants to reward ministers, I just first determine which ministers are meritorious, and then the emperor will reward them. How can I be disrespectful?"

Yang Biao sneered and said: "It's not you who has the final say who has merit and who has not. It's up to you to draw up the list. I'm afraid that in the future, all of my Han Dynasty will be your Cao Cao's retainers!"

"Now His Majesty has just settled the capital, the court has not yet been established and completed, and the Han ministers scattered all over the world have not yet come to visit you. You want to get involved in the court and occupy an important position at this time. Do you really think that others can't notice it?!"

After Yang Biao finished speaking, Yang Xiu closed his eyes in despair.

But Cao Cao still didn't take it seriously, and just said calmly: "Whether Cao Cao has selfish motives, it doesn't matter what Mr. Yang says, it's what His Majesty says."

As he spoke, he looked up at the emperor.

"May I ask Your Majesty, do you have any selfish motives?"

For a time, the eyes of many people in the hall were focused on the emperor.

Facing the looks from everyone, the Emperor's face turned pale, and his eyes wandered between Cao Cao and Yang Biao for a long time before he finally smiled and said: "Meng De is naturally selfless..."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Biao's expression dimmed instantly.

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing loudly, and many civil servants and generals in the hall also laughed.

Yang Xiu crawled to the center of the hall, kowtowed to Cao Cao and prayed: "My father made a mistake while drunk today. Please don't argue with him, Lord Sikong!"

Cao Cao didn't care about this: "Dezu, there is no need to say more. Yang Gong has been with the emperor for a long time and is a veteran of the imperial court. I have always respected him, so how can I blame him."

With that said, he raised his wine glass again, laughed loudly to everyone in the hall and said, "Come, come, come, let's all drink. I won't come back until I'm drunk today!"

"promise--!"

The atmosphere in the hall became lively again, and everyone drank and exchanged glasses. Only Yang Biao sat in his seat in despair, without saying a word.

Seeing his father in this state, Yang Xiu 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 time Xu County was established as the capital, the decline of the Han Dynasty was already doomed, and the emperor would become a puppet of Cao Cao alone.

This is not something they can change.

The emperor above also noticed Yang Biao's expression. Although he felt guilty, he had no choice but to drink to drown his sorrows.

At this moment, a sudden sound suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Report——!"

The sound came from far away, and soon a guard ran in.

"What's the 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 and then at Cao Cao. He didn't know how to answer. Finally, he lowered his head and presented a report with both hands.

"Give it to me."

During the banquet, a middle-aged scribe came out and picked up the memorial and read 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 was usually calm and indifferent to emotions and anger. What could have happened that made his expression change on the spot?

"This..."

Xun Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only hand the report to Cao Cao, "You should read it yourself."

Cao Cao was confused, but he still took the report and opened it to read it carefully.

Soon, shock also covered his face.

At the same time, there was indescribable anger!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Yuan Shao, you traitor! Evil thief! Rebel! Rebellious thief!"

Cao Cao cursed and threw the report in his hand and the wine glass to the ground, then raised his hand and overturned the table in front of him!

Even so, he still felt unsatisfied, and stepped hard on the report with a ferocious expression.

Such a big reaction scared everyone in the hall.

Xun You couldn't help asking: "My lord, what is written in this report? Why did it make my lord so angry?"

Cao Cao's face was gloomy. He didn't 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 look at Xun Yu inquiringly.

After all, it was Xun Yu who read the report first.

Xun Yu sighed, and without keeping the secret, he said directly: "The report said that Yuan Shao issued an edict to the world, saying that the master is a traitor who usurped the country, and that welcoming the emperor is to do what Dong Zhuo did."

"It also said that the emperor has fled to Jizhou, and is preparing to establish the capital in Yecheng, calling on the world's talents and Han officials to go 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.

Then who is the emperor in front of them?
