The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 418
Fu Wan is old enough to be able to bear his temper and endure what ordinary people can't bear. He can do this, but Liu Xie can't.

As a monarch who should be able to command the world and call the wind and rain, but Liu Xie can't do that, there is nothing in this world that is more uncomfortable than this.

It's like a man lying in front of a man is a glamorous girl wearing a tulle, half-covered, spouting orchids, posing with a fiery charm, just waiting for you to pick up a gun and mount a horse to gallop at will, but when you go up After she stripped his body, she found that he was just a man who looked like a woman... It's impossible to live!

Therefore, it is difficult to be an emperor, but to be a puppet emperor - aggrieved!
People are always obsessed with what they can't get. Liu Xie has been bullied and oppressed by various heroes for many years, which has invisibly increased Liu Xie's desire and obsession for power that he has never touched. Almost every day, Liu Xie When I dream, I always dream of the magnificent scene of millions of soldiers in my hand, conquering from east to west, tying hands in all directions, vassals bowing down, and the people supporting them.

Such a scene has become his inevitable dream.

But now, the original unattainable dream seems to be within reach. The nightmare Cao Cao who blocked his goal died, and the greatest resistance has disappeared. The day when he regained power as a real emperor seems to be quietly approaching.

But at this moment, the head of the country, who I have always counted as the most, prevented me from seizing power, and poured a large basin of hot water on my fiery passion to realize my dream—ice cold.

"Guo Zhang, is there really no other way?" Liu Xie's pleading expression seemed extremely painful.

Fu Wan was ruthless, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no other choice, the same sentence, wait for three years, three years later, Zhongzhou will be in chaos, and great events can be expected!"

Liu Xie clenched his lips, clenched his fists heavily, and said, "What if I don't want to wait?"

Fu Wan frowned, took a deep look at Liu Xie, and said, "Then your majesty will fall into a catastrophe! Forgive me for telling the truth, although your majesty is not yet in charge of the government, at least in the court there is already a The prestige of the emperor and the right to criticize and play, if Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao were replaced, His Majesty would not have such kindness at all. Why do you have it now? It is because of Cao Zhi! According to the old officials, although Cao Zhi is the traitorous hero of Cao Cao, but He has no ambition to usurp, and he treats His Majesty tolerantly and generously, which is far beyond what his father can compare. The reason why the old minister asked His Majesty to wait for a few more years is because he wanted to take a closer look at this person. Maybe this son will become a Han family in the future. Maybe he is not a traitor, but if His Majesty is eager for quick success and pushes him into a hurry, if he doesn't want to be a traitor, maybe His Majesty will force him to be a traitor!"

Liu Xie's face tightened when he heard the words, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said coldly: "Fu Wan, are you trying to excuse Cao's traitor?"

Fu Wan shook his head and said: "The old minister dare not, the old minister's heart is for His Majesty, the world can learn from it, but today's words, the old minister is just discussing the matter, please think twice."

Liu Xie took a deep breath, as if he was about to get angry, but finally he held back and said forcefully: "I'm tired, go down!"

Seeing that Liu Xie's attitude towards him suddenly turned cold after Fu Wan, he knew that Liu Xie was unhappy, but no matter how unhappy he was, Fu Wan couldn't let Liu Xie do whatever he wanted, he just saluted respectfully and retreated slowly.

Seeing Fu Wan's gradually disappearing figure, Liu Xie clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.

"No, I have been waiting for 18 years, and I will never wait any longer. I must do something! The head of the country is content with food and clothing, and refuses to help me. I will ask others to help me!"

******************************
Two days later, it was the regular court meeting, and all the civil and military officials above the middle school and doctor level in Xudu all entered the Deyang Palace to discuss and participate in politics.

In the Deyang Hall, there are nearly two hundred courtiers participating in the government. All of them abide by the courtier's festival, kneel and sit on the left and right sides of the emperor's upper hall and lower hall.

Cao Zhi inherited his father's position as Sikong, and because of his special status, he was not in the same rank as the ministers, but stood alone beside the emperor, issuing orders, discussing politics and participating in discussions.

Everything seems to be in order, but in the faint, there is already an undercurrent surging.

Cao Zhi was different from his predecessors who were several heroes. Whenever he had something to do, he would first seek Liu Xie's opinion. Do not overstep.

Today's court meeting is as usual, safe and smooth.

After discussing all matters, Cao Zhi immediately turned around and saluted Liu Xie, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, all the matters played by the ministers have been discussed, and the court can be dispersed."

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Cao Aiqing has worked hard."

His Highness suddenly heard a voice.

"Your Majesty, minister, Si Zhi Wei Huang, I have something to announce!"

Liu Xie turned to look at the person reporting, with a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "So it's Wei Aiqing, what can Aiqing report?"

Si Zhi Wei Huang stepped out of the shift, took out the bamboo slips he wanted to play from his bosom, and said in a loud voice: "Chen Wei Huang, with His Majesty's favor, served as Si Zhi and supervised all the officials in the capital for five years. Supervising and inspecting the list of officials with outstanding political achievements and integrity, may your majesty record the merits, reward meritorious deeds, promote talents, so that our Han Dynasty will prosper for a long time, and the country's fortune will last forever."

Liu Xie glanced lightly at Cao Zhi beside him, seeing that his face seemed unmoved, he waved his hand and said to Xiao Huangmen who was serving him, "Submit Master Wei's roster!"

Xiao Huangmen presented Wei Huang's memorial in a hurry, Liu Xie looked through it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Wei Sizhi is the first director directly under my resettlement in the eighth year of Jian'an. His position is not big, but he has the heavy responsibility of supervising all the officials in the capital. For many years, he has reserved his career, abided by the principles of his ministers, and supervised officials at all levels fairly. , must have been deliberating for a long time, there is no problem with this performance... Cao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Cao Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is holy."

Liu Xie tapped the bamboo slips in his hand lightly, and said with a light smile, "If you don't reward those who make meritorious deeds, if you don't punish those who commit crimes, you are not a wise king. I wish you could carefully select the candidates on this list and find out whether their achievements are true. If it is true, then you will be rewarded and promoted, thinking that it will be reused, and it will be a good way to select a group of new talents for the great man, as a plan for the future, I wonder what Cao Aiqing wants?"

Cao Zhi pondered for a while when he heard the words, but did not speak.

Although he is greedy for drinking and drinking, he likes to recite poems and fight against each other, but he is not mediocre, otherwise Cao Cao would not have loved him even more when he was alive.

Cao Zhi's political sense is very keen. He can clearly feel that Wei Huang's sudden appearance on the list of supervisors today is a premeditated incident. From the top table to thank you, why did you suddenly change your behavior style overnight?Moreover, there are not just one or two people who perform meritorious deeds, but a large number of people!

Cao Zhi knew in his heart that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to promote his cronies, and wanted to try to grab some real power in the court!

If Cao Cao were alive, Lao Cao wouldn't even bother to talk about today's matter, and just took the roster and tore it up.

But Cao Zhi is not Cao Cao. Although he can see the emperor's small calculations, but from the heart, he does not have too great ambitions, and Cao Zhi has always respected the emperor and never regarded him as a puppet.For him, the Son of Heaven is the master, and he is the servant. It is not taboo for the master to ask for some rights from the servants. Moreover, Liu Xie did this very smartly. The memorial tells the story, the name is correct and the words are smooth.

If it was a peaceful world, Cao Zhi would be just like that, it doesn't matter.

But the situation is different now, all sides are enemies, the interior must be stable, and the rights are too scattered!
But if you refuse the emperor face to face, there is no good reason for a while, and if you refuse forcefully, it is against the way of a monarch and his ministers...

Cao Zhi hesitated. After all, he is young and kind. He is not a traitor like Cao Cao, and he will still be constrained by certain morals when doing things.

Liu Xie was ecstatic when he saw Cao Zhi's expression was cloudy and hesitant.

This matter, there is a play!
"Chen, Jia Xu, who holds the Jinwu, plays!"

An old voice slowly rose from the corner, interrupting Cao Zhi's hesitation and Liu Xie's secret joy.

Liu Xie looked up, only to see the old man Jia Xu, who rarely speaks on weekdays, was getting up slowly, bowing his hands and begging to play in his direction.

Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, but waved his hand and said, "What does Doctor Jia want to say? But it's okay."

But Jia Xu walked tremblingly to the middle of the hall, gave a deep salute, and said: "Your Majesty rewards the meritorious and promotes the capable ministers. This is the way to rejuvenate the country. I think so deeply, so I hereby second the proposal... Cao Sikong, why do you bother?" hesitate?"

Hearing the words, Cao Zhi took a deep look at Jia Xu, and said, "Since it was Dr. Jia who spoke, let's do this. The next day, I will wait for the third division to choose the best one from the list on the performance, and let them submit it for you." The imperial court made meritorious service."

Jia Xu nodded appreciatively, "Sikong's words are very kind."

Liu Xie was ecstatic, he never expected that Jia Xu would stand up to speak for him, and when Jia Xu spoke, Cao Zhi would agree so readily.

"Okay, okay, Cao Aiqing, Dr. Jia is indeed the pillar of the country, and he is actually the number one virtuous minister of my great man. He is good at distinguishing right from wrong, and can check loyalty and goodness. I am very relieved."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty has praised you so much, this old minister can't bear it, but there is still one thing I want to say, which is what your majesty just said, no reward for merit, no punishment for crimes, you are not a wise king, I don't know if this is true Your Majesty is acting on a whim, or is it really sincere?"

Liu Xie said with a smile: "What Dr. Jia said, if I didn't mean it sincerely, how could I accept Wei Huang's request to promote such a large number of talents?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "That's good. May I ask Your Majesty, Wei Huang's memorial said that those who have made great contributions to government are all rewarded. As for the most meritorious officials in this dynasty, how should Your Majesty reward them?"

Liu Xie was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "The most virtuous minister in this dynasty? Who is Dr. Jia talking about?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that Cao Sikong is the pillar of the country and the number one virtuous minister of my Han Dynasty? How long has it been since His Majesty has forgotten?"
