Chapter 826

"Your Majesty, this is a rule and cannot be broken!"

"Since General Wei is a clan member of the Han family and a model of loyal ministers, he must not break the centuries-old rules!"

Xun Yu's words were fierce and his emotions were agitated, but his tone was very firm and no one could question him.

All the ministers loyal to the emperor showed their approval of Xun Yu, and these rules were also the bottom line they had always adhered to.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhang has been awarded the title of Duke for his meritorious service today, and others will follow suit in the future!"

"This precedent cannot be set. Once it is set, how many people in the world will be called princes and kings!"

"Isn't Yuan Shu's lesson enough?"

Liu Xie's eyes were full of doubts, and he had no opinion on Liu Zhang's appointment as Duke.

It doesn't matter to him whether to seal it or not, and it is not up to him to decide.

It's just that Liu Xie was very seriously puzzled by Xun Yu's attitude.

Since Xun Yu maintained the majesty of the Han Dynasty so much, why did he join forces with Cao Cao?

"Cao Sikong, what do you think?"

Liu Xie didn't give any opinion and kicked the ball directly to Cao Cao.

Anyway, everyone knows that Xun Yu is Cao Cao's subordinate, and Liu Xie is also happy to watch a drama of internal friction.

Seeing this, Deng Zhi took a step back and handed over all the stage to Cao Cao and Xun Yu.

Judging from Cao Cao's gloomy face, Deng Zhi could guess that Xun Yu's words were definitely beyond Cao Cao's expectations.

"Your Majesty is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can you change the order from day to day without believing what you say?"

"It's a small thing to lose faith with General Wei this time, but it's a big deal to lose trust with the world!"

Cao Cao directly targeted Liu Xie as the object of persuasion. After all, Liu Xie had to agree to everything in the hall in name.

As for Xun Yu, Cao Cao didn't even bother to look at him.

Cao Cao knew very well that Xun Yu might have seen through Guo Jia's intentions.

These words point to something at all, and I am afraid it also means to warn Cao Cao!

"Xun Aiqing, what Cao Sikong said makes sense, what do you think?"

In a blink of an eye, Liu Xie kicked the ball to Xun Yu again.

Cao Cao originally thought that Liu Xie would be coerced into agreeing to cook the uncooked rice to make it an unchangeable established fact.

But Liu Xie didn't know which string was wrong today, and he was smart for a while, but he didn't take the initiative to make a decision.

"Your Majesty, the rules are the rules, and this is true for four hundred years of big men!"

"I believe that General Wei will understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts in maintaining the Han Dynasty."

Xun Yu still spoke righteously, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Wen Ruo's words are wrong!"

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, there was a voice of rebuttal.

Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's loyal adviser and the leader of General Zhenwei, stood up.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you be dishonest?"

"What's more, the rules need to be changed. Otherwise, why would a man of four hundred years have come to this point?"

Cheng Yu's words not only caused a commotion, but also attracted Xun Yu's glaring gaze.

When the Han Dynasty reached this point, no one took the initiative to expose it, and everyone still looked like the world was peaceful.

But Cheng Yu put the decline and fall of the Han Dynasty on the bright side, and even said it in public, which is a bit too much.

"General Cheng, according to your words, how should this rule be changed?"

Cheng Yu is Cao Cao's diehard loyalist, so naturally he will not be afraid of Xun Yu's deterrence.

"Lord Xun, General Wei won't reward you for his great achievements, so who will serve His Majesty in the future?"

"If everyone in the world thinks that His Majesty is an untrustworthy person, who is willing to maintain the orthodoxy of the court?"

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the sixth year of Guanghe (183 A.D.), what has become of the world? Just this Central Plains, if there is no Cao Sikong, how can we enjoy such peace!"

Xun Yu clenched his fists tightly, the thing he was most worried about happened.

With the continuous expansion of power, the minds of civil servants and generals under Cao Cao's command gradually became restless.

If things go on like this, even if Cao Cao has no intention of usurping, the civil and military under his command will push him to the position of usurping!

"Then according to General Cheng, what should we do?"

The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.

"Your Majesty, General Wei has made great contributions, and His Majesty has promised in advance, so there is nothing wrong with being named Duke!"

"Since Cao Sikong raised his troops, he fought against Dong Zhuo, flattened the Yellow Turban, defeated Tao Qian, destroyed Yuan Shu, flattened Lu Bu, and defeated Liu Bei! Only after more than ten years of conquests from east to west can we have the peace of the court today!"

"Could it be that Cao Sikong's achievements are not as good as General Wei's?"

Cheng Yu's words clearly intended to push Cao Cao to a higher position!

Now not only the ministers were stunned, Xun Yu was stunned, even Liu Xie was at a loss, and even Cao Cao himself widened his eyes.

Cao Cao swears that he never instructed Cheng Yu to say these words!

"Cheng Zhongde! What do you want to do!"

Xun Yu suddenly shouted, pointed at Cheng Yu, his eyes were full of anger.

He took great pains to maintain the last dignity of the court.

Unexpectedly, not only failed to fulfill his wish, but also trampled on the few remaining dignity of the Han Dynasty!

Everyone in the hall held their breath, and no one expected that things would evolve to this point.

The matter of Liu Zhang's appointment as the Duke actually caused the two masterminds under Cao Cao to have internal strife!

But one person was not nervous, but extremely excited!

It is the emperor Liu Xie who is looking forward to it in his heart at this moment.

Let's fight, let's make trouble!

It's better to break up on bad terms, so that I can have a chance to regain power!

Xun Yu has an irreplaceable and indispensable importance to the Cao Cao Group, and at the same time he also represents the attitude of the Yingchuan family.

Now that the imperial court is in Xuchang, it is natural to see the faces of the Yingchuan family.

With Xun Yu's full support, Liu Xie may not have a chance to come back.

Moreover, Cao Cao usually bullies Liu Xie, this time it is finally Liu Xie's turn to watch Cao Cao's jokes!

Cao Cao's face was extremely gloomy, and he was on the verge of rage.

Xun Yu didn't give him face so much today!

Can Cao Cao not hear the insinuation from Liu Zhang's appointment as Duke?

Xun Yu, whom he hailed as "My Son's House", is about to turn Cao Cao into Xiang Yu!

It's a pity that Cao Cao can't speak yet. Once he speaks, it will become an unmanageable situation.

At this moment, Cheng Yu gave Cao Cao a questioning look.

Cheng Yu naturally had to take Cao Cao as the criterion for how far the trouble would go.

In normal times, Cao Cao would have calmed down the matter very calmly, at least not letting Deng Zhi, the envoy of Yizhou, see the joke.

But now Cao Cao has long lost his mind, and he gave Cheng Yu a stern look.

As if telling him, everything is according to your idea!

As a resourceful man, Cheng Yu immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions.

"My lord Xun, if you don't reward those who make meritorious deeds, and don't punish those who have done wrong, wouldn't it be chilling to the hearts of the world?"

"If there hadn't been for Cao Sikong these two times, Yuan Shao's army would have come to Xuchang City long ago!"

"That's why Cheng feels that Cao Sikong's achievements are no worse than General Wei's!"

"Since General Wei can be made Duke of Qin, why can't Cao Sikong..."
