But it doesn¡¯t bode well for someone like Cao Cao.
Before the edict was read out, the messenger vomited blood and sprayed it on the edict. This was not a good start.
When Cao Cao was about to ask what was going on, Xi Lu spoke up.
He no longer cared about his demeanor, and directly wiped the corners of his mouth with his clothes to wipe away the blood stains on it, and then quickly opened his mouth and read out the imperial edict.
"Today, I canonize him as King of Wei, with a city of 30,000 households, and a fiefdom of Hedong, Hanoi"
There is not much content, it is very simple. It is to confer Cao Cao as the king of Wei, and to entrust the territory of eleven counties including Hedong and Hanoi. He will not be a minister when doing things, and he will not worship when he receives an edict. He will use the emperor's crown, chariot uniforms, banners, rituals and music to worship heaven and earth. The entrance and exit are called Jingzhi. The ancestral temple, ancestral temple, and La are all made according to the Han system. The capital of the country is Yecheng. The princes are all princes. In other words, once Cao Cao accepted it, he was still a Han minister in name, but in fact he was no different from the emperor.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"
After Xi Lu read the contents of the canonization in one breath, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Cao Cao.
"Accept the order, Prime Minister!" Xi Lu said to Cao Cao.
"My lord, how can I be so virtuous? I dare not accept it!" But Cao Cao did not accept the order.
Seeing Cao Cao's refusal, Jiang Ji and other counselors felt relieved. This is normal operation. They were worried that Cao Cao would be driven into confusion by Liu Zhe and would accept the imperial edict as soon as it came.
Normal operation requires you to say goodbye three times, at least three times. Then the emperor refused three times before he could accept it.
Doing this is a show. Although Cao Cao was so angry that he immediately nodded and accepted the imperial edict, the show must be done properly.
Otherwise, accepting the imperial edict as soon as it comes will not only make people in the world laugh at it, but also make people in the world think that Cao Cao is very ambitious and greedy, which will have a bad influence on Cao Cao.
Xi Lu was not surprised by Cao Cao's rejection. On the contrary, he was greatly relieved when Cao Cao did this. Finally, he no longer had to give the imperial edict to Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, since you don't accept it, I can only go back and report to the emperor." Xi Lu said happily.
"It's time to trouble the imperial censor." Cao Cao stood up and said to Xi Lu.
Although Cao Cao was so angry that he accepted it immediately, he knew that he had to endure it. As long as he refused to accept it, he could accept it legitimately and become the king of Wei after the emperor forbade him to do so.
"No trouble, no trouble."
Xi Lu waved his hand, put the imperial edict away, and then said: "I have to go to Yanjin City, so I will take my leave first."
"etc."
Cao Cao did not agree to let Xi Liu leave so quickly. He said: "The imperial censor just vomited blood. He must have been tired from the journey. Now go in with me and have a rest."
"Prime Minister, no need, I'm fine." Xi Lu said hurriedly, he didn't want to stay here anymore.
"If Cao Cao sees the imperial edict later, how will he explain it to Cao Cao? Is it possible that he will tell what happened before?
Not to mention that he was guilty of not protecting the imperial edict well, how could he say such a shameful thing as being robbed by a little girl?
But the more Xi Lu wanted to leave, the more Cao Cao became determined to keep Xi Lu and find out the matter.
Damn it, you vomited blood on the imperial edict that originally belonged to me. If I don¡¯t understand it, how will I see anyone in the future?
"Is it possible that if I didn't become the king of Wei, the imperial censor wouldn't pay attention to me?" When Cao Cao saw that Xi Lu still wanted to leave, his face suddenly became gloomy and his tone was gloomy.
The gloomy tone made Xi Lu shudder coldly, and he immediately remembered how terrible Cao Cao was.
After swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, the man in front of him had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Since the Prime Minister has an order, I have to follow it."
"Come in with me." Cao Cao's face became even more unhappy when he saw Xi Lu agreeing. Is it possible that I have to show such an expression to make people obey?
Cao Cao took Xi Lu to his tent and gave Jiang Ji a wink. Jiang Ji understood what Cao Cao meant and immediately let the chariot go in together with the eunuch holding the imperial edict. Cao Cao would also like to see the edict later.
"Master Yushi, what happened to you just now?" Cao Cao asked coldly after entering the tent.
He was no longer polite to Xi Lu. Although Xi Lu is also one of the three princes, Xi Lu is his person and his subordinate. Now that there are no outsiders here, Cao Cao no longer needs to be hypocritically polite to Xi Lu.
"This this"
Xi Lu hesitated,After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't come up with anything.
"Bring the imperial edict."
Cao Cao simply wanted to read the imperial edict. Just now, Xi Lu vomited blood after opening the imperial edict. Cao Cao knew that the problem was with the imperial edict.
The eunuchs who followed him in didn't dare to let go of one more thing. They didn't have the kind of awareness that when the imperial edict was present, there would be no one when the edict was gone. When Cao Cao asked for the imperial edict, he would obediently hand it over without daring to say anything.
As he followed the emperor in the palace, he knew how terrifying Cao Cao was, and he would not risk his life for this imperial edict.
Cao Cao took the imperial edict and opened it without any respect.
When he saw the contents of the imperial edict, Cao Cao's face also changed. His face turned red and veins popped up on his forehead. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
