The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Even if you have merits like yours, you will not be able to stay in the position of a courtier for a long time.

Now the prime minister thinks that he is ashamed of his lack of virtue and has not reached the perfect state, and is happy because he can keep his reputation and integrity and has no greater responsibility. extreme.

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so keep your eyes open and affirm your achievements.But His Majesty didn't do it, why didn't the Prime Minister remind him? "

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked in shock.

"The prime minister only cares about rewarding meritorious ministers, who will reward you, the prime minister? The merits of the prime minister are enough to be called king." Dong Zhao said forcefully.

Cao Hong on the side was stunned, how could such an operation be possible?

Please accept my knee!

"We'll discuss this matter again."

Even though he said that, Cao Cao was already moved.

It's too early to be called emperor, but it's always okay to be called king, right?

Now Cao Cao's title is Wei Gong, and he is only one step away from the throne.

At the court meeting the next day, all the officials, as if they had agreed, wrote letters one after another, asking Xiandi to make Cao Cao king.

Everyone was beaming, Cao Cao didn't say it in his heart, but he was flattered.Just as he was about to say a few words of humility, someone stood up and refused for him.

"Absurd! According to the imperial decree of the Han Dynasty, foreign surnames cannot be crowned kings. The Marquis of Dongyang is Da Zongzheng, and none of the real Han clansmen can be crowned kings."

If it was Emperor Xian who spoke, everyone would take it for granted.

Unfortunately not.

The person who spoke was Xun Yu, Cao Cao's chief steward.

Every time Cao Cao went out to fight, Xun Yu was asked to stay at the base camp. Everything was properly arranged without any mistakes.

But such a person would stand up and oppose it, which is unbelievable.

"The prime minister is highly respected, fighting for the court? Why can't he be crowned king?"

The court began to be chaotic and fell into endless quarrels.

"Silence!" Dong Zhao shouted loudly.

After everyone quieted down, Dong Zhao continued:

"Whether the prime minister can be crowned king, is it up to you, Xun Wenruo, to decide? Do you take His Majesty seriously?"

High!

Damn, I didn't realize that Dong Zhao was so smart, he stood up at a critical moment and gave the opponents a huge slap in the face.

Therefore, Xun Yu looked at the weak and pitiful Emperor Xian with expectant eyes, hoping that he would stand up and reject Cao Cao's title of king righteously.

Unfortunately, Xun Yu was doomed to fail.

"The prime minister has done a lot of hard work, and being crowned king is nothing." Emperor Xian said indifferently.

Dong Zhao smiled slightly, very good, Emperor Xian has fulfilled his promise.

Xun Yu's face was ashen.

Cao Cao was also very proud, Dong Zhao saved face for him.

"The matter of conferring the king, we will discuss it later."

Cao Cao humbly refused again. During the next ten days of court meetings, all the ministers persevered and suggested that Cao Cao be crowned king.

Emperor Xian directly issued an order to make Cao Cao the king of Wei.

Cao Cao refused three times, and finally accepted reluctantly.

"Congratulations, King Wei!"

"Haha, congratulations, everyone!"

Cao Cao was really happy, a little carried away.

Gradually, news spread that Cao Cao had made the King of Wei.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked.

"Damn it, Cao Mengde is a wolf with ambitions, and he became king indiscriminately."

"Cao Cao has been coercing the emperor to command the princes for many years, and it has become a trend. Today, no one can suppress him except the Marquis of Dongyang." Fazheng said.

"Hmph, the Marquis of Dongyang is not the only clan member of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Bei said dissatisfied.

"What is your lord going to do?"

Liu Bei won Yizhou, and he was in full swing, and he didn't want to be compared by Cao Cao.

"Xiaozhi, what do you think of me?"

How about what?

Fazheng was stunned, and it took him a while to react.

Could it be that Liu Bei wants to become king?
