    Liu Ke defeated the Japanese and did not cause turmoil among the princes.

    Thousands of Japanese are nothing to worry about.  In the battle involving hundreds of thousands of people in the Central Plains, even the waves are not counted.

    It has been a while since Cao Cao moved the capital to Chang'an, and it has been very peaceful.

    However, he did not dare to relax at all and worked hard in order to one day be able to take revenge.

    "My lord, it's time for you to rest." Sima Lang cupped his hands and said.

    Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at the memorials on the table, and there was a thick stack of them.

    "My lord, we can't finish the memorial. Your health is more important." Sima Lang said.

    "What Dongyang Hou can do, I can also do." Cao Cao said.

    "My lord, Marquis Dongyang has a cabinet to help handle government affairs. It's really hard for you to do it yourself." Sima Lang said, "How about you also form a cabinet."

    However, this proposal was ruthlessly rejected by Cao Cao, saying: "As a lord, how can you give up power just for the sake of convenience? Look, Dongyang Hou will suffer a big loss in this matter sooner or later."

    Sima Lang disagreed. He still knew a little about the situation in Yangzhou. The establishment of the cabinet was entirely due to the words of Marquis Dongyang.  Dismissing the cabinet is just a matter of words.

    However, Sima Lang would not argue with Cao Cao over this matter. Seeing that Cao Cao was obsessed with government affairs, he quietly resigned.  The reason why he stayed here late at night was just to discuss Cao Cao's appointment as prime minister. The matter had already been discussed.

    The next day in the morning, Sima Lang yawned, but he saw Cao Cao who was in high spirits. He seemed to have endless energy.

    At the court meeting, Emperor Xian recognized Cao Cao's contribution in the recent period, and in order to reward him, he named Cao Cao prime minister.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    After receiving the order, Cao Cao glanced left and right and saw no one objecting, so he returned to his original position.

    "Watch your seat!" Emperor Xian said.

    Cao Cao frowned. Among all the steps, there seemed to be no such agenda.  He couldn't help but glance at Sima Lang, who gave him an apologetic look. Cao Cao knew what was going on and couldn't help but sneered.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Such a childish trick!

    "Your Majesty, no! The Prime Minister is just your minister!" Sima Lang stood up and said, Cao Cao is not easy to talk to, and those who serve as subordinates must come forward.

    "Prime Minister Cao has worked hard and devoted himself to the great Han Dynasty. What does this little preferential treatment mean?" Dong Cheng said.

    This Dong Cheng was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong and had a slight relationship with Dong Zhuo. However, he was the father-in-law of Emperor Xian, so he escaped from liquidation.

    "This Prime Minister is different from Dong Thief. I have never lacked awe for Your Majesty." Cao Cao said.

    After getting involved with Dong Zhuo, Dong Cheng did not dare to answer the question easily. He was afraid that Cao Cao would be unhappy with him and kill him directly. Who would he ask to reason with?

    This world is all about talking with big fists.

    Cao Cao rejected Emperor Xian's kindness and suggested: "In today's world, only the Marquis of Dongyang can have this honor. Your Majesty might as well confer the title of Situ on the Marquis of Dongyang."

    After Wang Yun's death, the position of Situ has not been determined.

    Emperor Xian couldn't figure out what Cao Cao had in mind, but could he refuse to agree?

    "Accurate performance!"

    ¡° Anyway, it¡¯s just a matter of one sentence, and the rest is Cao Cao¡¯s job.

    When he thought of Dongyang Marquis, Emperor Xian couldn't help but feel sad. He had not contacted him for a long time, but he often sent letters to him in ten thousand years.

    And Emperor Xian¡¯s reply had to go through layers of checks, and he simply replied: Everything is fine.

    Therefore, his connection with Yangzhou is getting weaker and weaker.

    After going to court, Cao Cao drafted an imperial decree and asked Sima Lang to take Cao Pi to Yangzhou.

    When Xuzhou fell, Cao Pi went to Yangzhou once, but he was sent away by Liu Ke halfway.

    "Keep your filial piety well."

    Cao Pi is a strong child, but he still cried for a long time.  At present, he still does not understand the struggle between princes for hegemony.

    Along the way, Cao Pi and Sima Lang became friends.

    "You have worked hard, young master. Going to Yangzhou is full of dangers. As long as you survive this period, with your contribution, it will be easy for you to become the heir apparent." Sima Lang said.

    "Contribution? How can I contribute anything?" Cao Pi asked puzzledly, as if he was mocking himself.

    Sima Lang smiled and said nothing. Cao Pi was his legitimate son, smart and resolute. He also studied under Dongyang Hou and knew himself and his enemy.

    I¡¯m afraid this is the Lord¡¯s purpose.Wisdom cannot be understood by ordinary people.

    In this way, Cao Pi came to Yangzhou again.

    "Yangzhou has become more prosperous!" Cao Pi said with emotion.

    Sima Lang was also filled with emotions. The lord¡¯s enemies were constantly getting stronger.

    Chang'an has a good foundation. It was the capital of the Western Han Dynasty.  After Cao Cao's governance, Chang'an returned to the state before it was destroyed by Dong Zhuo.

    However, Chang'an is not even as good as the county seat of Yangzhou.

    The comparison is not the height of the city walls, but the spiritual outlook and wealth of the people.

    Does Chang'an still deserve to be called the capital?

    Sima Lang was shocked and confused. When he arrived at Dongyang City, he was completely shocked.

    There are such prosperous cities in the world!

    The world is in chaos now, not a time of peace and prosperity.

    Sima Lang suddenly felt sad and had a long way to go.  He finally understood why the lord sent him as an envoy to Yangzhou even though he couldn't finish the things at hand. It was to let him know more about Yangzhou and the enemy Dongyang Hou.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang doesn't like arrogant envoys, Mr. Sima, remember this!" Cao Pi warned.

    Sima Lang nodded, seeing the majestic Dongyang City, what else could he be proud of?  It's a blessing if you don't get heartbroken.

    "The imperial edict has arrived, and the Marquis of Dongyang will receive it!"

    The envoys are very high-profile, after all, they represent the supreme emperor.

    However, what surprised Sima Lang was that the person who received them was not the Marquis of Dongyang, but Cai Yong.

    After thinking about it, Sima Lang understood, who is Dongyang Marquis, how could he care about a little guy like him?

    But Cai Yong¡¯s identity is enough.

    Cai Yong exchanged a few words with Sima Lang, and then made a request to see the imperial edict. Although Sima Lang resisted, he had to bow his head under the eaves.

    "There is no problem with the imperial edict. You can accept it." Cai Yong said.

    So after Liu Ke took a shower and changed clothes, he met with Sima Lang.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang shocked the world with his power. He also destroyed the Japanese and raised the prestige of our country. I am now granted the title of Situ."

    Liu Ke handed over his hands to receive the order, but he was muttering in his heart, what the hell did Cao Cao want to do?

    But the position of Situ is indeed more valuable than that of Taiwei.

    If nothing else, there were definitely dozens of Taiwei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which became a kind of reputation, while there were really only a few Situ.

    Generally speaking, being a Situ means going to court. Did Cao Cao have this idea?

    No matter what, Liu will not go to Chang'an.  As for the position of Situ, he took it.

    Now he has no direct conflict of interest with Cao Cao.

    Soon, the news that Cao Cao became Prime Minister and Liu Ke became Situ spread throughout the world, and his prestige increased greatly.

    Emperor Xian was silent, was the Han Dynasty really weak?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
