Chapter 170 This is a conspiracy, do you want to accept it or not?
On August 13, that day, there was a court meeting in the Han court.
What surprised Xi Yu was that late at night yesterday, the emperor's attendants specially summoned him to attend today's court meeting.
Although Xi Yu was a little confused about this situation, he didn't think much about it.
After all, no matter what, he is now a minister of the Han court.
It was okay that he rarely attended the previous court meetings, but this time Liu Xie had named him to attend the court meetings. It would be unjustifiable if he did not go again.
From Xi Yu's point of view, it's nothing more than a waste of time.
Early in the morning, with the help of Cai Yan, Xi Yu put on the court uniform that she had not worn often for a long time.
The fiery red court clothes indicate the prosperity of this great man.
When Xi Yu entered the palace gate, he met Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others.
Cao Cao and others were somewhat surprised when they noticed that Xi Yu unexpectedly attended the court meeting today.
"It's been a long time since I saw Fengyi attending the court meeting!"
Cao Cao laughed, and Xi Yu just nodded: "Who asked His Majesty to summon you specially last night? Does my brother know what important matters will happen in the court today?"
Xi Yu smiled and asked Cao Cao.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then frowned subconsciously.
What's going on at the meeting?
Nowadays, everything in the court is under his control. If there is anything that the court wants to discuss, he will know it to some extent.
Naturally, he knew that the emperor's attendants left the palace and went straight to the theater last night.
Now it seems that His Majesty wants to do something!
"Our Majesty is really restless!"
Perhaps because it seemed to him that he was surrounded by his own people, Cao Cao meant something, and his words showed no reverence for Emperor Liu Xie.
Xi Yu just smiled without any explanation.
The emperor's summons last night only told him to attend today's court meeting, without saying anything.
But to Xi Yu, these are not important.
He can probably understand some of Liu Xie's thoughts now, but some things are always much harder to do than imagined.
In today's era, living in an imperial family, some people are born with this fate.
Xi Yu could only say that Liu Xie was not very lucky.
What he encountered was the period when a dynasty was at its weakest.
If he had been born during a period of peace in the dynasty, perhaps Liu Xue would have been able to become a dashing prince!
A group of people crossed the palace city and arrived outside the main hall of the North Palace.
At this moment, with a shout from the attendant in the palace, Xi Yu followed Cao Cao and others and slowly entered the Deyang Palace in front of them.
Today's Xuchang Han Palace was built in complete reference to the original Luoyang Han Palace.
In the past two years, most of the palaces in the Xuchang Han Palace have been almost completed.
The Deyang Palace in front of us naturally replaced the Yang Andian Palace where Liu Xie had previously gone to court.
Recently, it was the first time that Xiyu entered the palace and went to court.
The Deyang Palace in front of him was also his first time to enter.
Looking up, the hall seemed extremely empty. Six giant pillars painted with red paint were arranged in two rows to support the entire hall in front of them.
Xiyu glanced at it. He had naturally seen the Forbidden City in his previous life.
It can only be said that compared with the palace of the Han Dynasty, the styles of the two are somewhat different.
At this time, the courtiers naturally stood in two lines.
Xi Yu stood next to Cao Cao, with Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others behind him.
The meeting begins.
Xi Yu subconsciously glanced at Liu Xie who was standing on top of the danxiang, and the latter nodded towards him.
This situation made Xi Yu a little confused for a while.
At this time, the court meeting went as usual and some miscellaneous matters began to be reported.
Cao Cao next to him squinted his eyes as if he was taking a nap, and Xi Yu also felt a little bored.
Who would have thought that at this moment, the cavalry general Dong Cheng suddenly came out from the right to give advice.
"Your Majesty, the post of Taiwei in the imperial court is vacant at present, and the post of Taiwei is related to our country and the country of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty should select a good minister for this position as soon as possible!"
As soon as Dong Cheng spoke, Cao Cao, who was on the left side, subconsciously opened his eyes.
He glanced at Dong Cheng indifferently. The latter's expression was as usual and he didn't seem to care about Cao Cao's eyes.
Liu Xie, who was sitting on top of the sweet-scented osmanthus, nodded.
"What General Dong said is quite reasonable! What do you think of Sikong?"
Liu Xie first agreed with what Dong Cheng said, and then pretended to think of something and turned to ask Cao Cao.
After hearing this, Cao Cao came out.
"What your Majesty said is true!"
Cao Cao did not deny that in the court today, although he has more or less control over the direction of the wind.
However, since Liu Xie dared to say such words directly this time, he was not in a hurry, he just wanted to let Yang Biao return to the court!
This thing is nothing.
Today, Yang Biao no longer poses the slightest threat to him.
Cao Cao confirmed, Liu Xie smiled and turned to look at Dong Cheng again.
"Since General Dong mentioned it, is there anyone suitable to recommend it?"
Dong Cheng didn't hesitate at all. He took a step forward and glanced at Cao Cao and others on the left.
"Former Taiwei Yang Biao is the humerus of the Han Dynasty. Now it has been found out that Mr. Yang is not suspected of having liaison with foreign enemies."
"I advise you, Your Majesty, to reinstate his position as Taiwei!"
As soon as Dong Cheng opened his mouth, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, this is what these people do.
So what if Yang Biao comes back? The court today is no longer the same as when he first came to Xuchang.
He had been afraid before, but now Cao Cao didn't care.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang is already outside the palace. Can you announce his entry into the palace?"
Dong Cheng paused for a moment before speaking.
After hearing this, the expression on Liu Xie's face did not change at all. It was obvious that he had known about this matter in advance.
However, he still glanced at Cao Cao subconsciously.
Seeing that Cao Cao had no objections, Liu Xie said: "Oh, in that case, let Duke Yang go to the palace!"
Underneath, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth curled up slightly. These people were really well prepared.
At this moment, Liu Bei, who was standing on the right, clenched his fist secretly. The situation in the court now made him feel a little angry.
When did the emperor's majesty become so weak?
Whenever the emperor did something, he always needed the approval of his courtiers.
Then Cao Cao really deserves to die!
However, this thought only echoed in Liu Bei's heart after all, and he could do nothing.
Not long after, Yang Biao, wearing an ordinary Confucian shirt, slowly walked into the main hall.
The other party walked into the hall, and when he reached the center of the main hall, he bowed and bowed to Liu Xie.
"Yang Biao, a common man, has met His Majesty!"
Hearing these words, Liu Xie, who was sitting on the red osmanthus, started to fight from behind the table and bent his body forward.
"Mr. Yang, please get up!"
Liu Xie paid special attention to this action, and the expressions of the courtiers below also changed accordingly.
It seemed that everyone on Dong Cheng's side was somewhat excited.
But for the people on Cao Cao's side, their expressions didn't change much.
Cao Cao just pursed his lips slightly.
Liu Xie's behavior is quite interesting.
However, in his eyes, the other party is just a young man after all.
Even if there are some methods, they still appear to be somewhat clumsy and unsightly.
"Mr. Yang, the court has found out what happened before and has nothing to do with Gong Yang. This time I intend to let you return to the court and serve as Taiwei again. Are you willing?"
Liu Xie seemed a little impatient when he said this.
Dong Cheng and the others couldn't help but feel a little excited.
No one on Cao Cao's side made any obvious statements. At this moment, everyone was more or less waiting for Cao Cao's reaction.
Xi Yu yawned slightly.
Liu Xie specifically asked his attendant to tell him that he was going to court. Was this the reason for his confusion?
Is this guy worried that Cao Cao will prevent Yang Biao from returning to the court?
So I want to win over myself and let him say a few words!
This small favor is not really a big deal. If Liu Xie wanted to help him, he would have no problem with it.
However, whether Yang Biao returns to the court or not, the current situation in the court will not change much.
He planned to wait and see what happened.
At this time, Yang Biao stepped forward.
"Thank you for your majesty's love, but now that the common people are getting old, I may not have the energy to help your majesty anymore!"
Yang Biao spoke, and the meaning in his words was a tactful refusal to return to the court.
Hearing this, Liu Xie had not yet reacted, while Dong Cheng and the others around him seemed a little confused.
Although Yang Biao had previously told them that he did not intend to return to the court, at that time Dong Cheng and others just thought that Yang Biao was a little afraid of Cao Cao.
But now, His Majesty has spoken, and it seems that Cao Cao didn't say much.
Why did Mr. Yang still choose this way?
Liu Xie, who was sitting on top of the red osmanthus, did not change much in his expression. After hearing what Yang Biao said, his expression became a little reluctant.
"Mr. Yang, if there were not you in this court, who would be able to hold the post of Taiwei?"
At this moment, Liu Xie couldn't help it any longer, and couldn't help but glance at Xi Yu.
Xiyu frowned slightly.
What's the meaning?
Xi Yu already felt that something was wrong with the situation in front of him.
A guess suddenly popped up in my mind.
Sure enough, Yang Biao paused and spoke again.
"There is a person recommended by the common people. This person is knowledgeable and capable. He is a high official in the imperial court and the country. He can serve as a Taiwei!"
Yang Biao opened his mouth and his eyes turned to Xi Yu.
At this time, Cao Cao and others' eyes followed Yang Biao's and fell on Xi Yu.
Although he didn't speak a word, the meaning could not be clearer.
"Oh, Mr. Yang is referring to Xi Qing?"
Liu Xie pretended not to know and asked, and Yang Biao nodded heavily.
"Your Majesty, it is none other than Xi Yu, the current imperial censor!"
Yang Biao opened his mouth to admit, but Dong Cheng and others seemed a little silent at this time, while the expressions of the people behind Cao Cao changed a lot.
Like Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, he just looked at Xi Yu lightly.
In Xun Yu's view, there is no doubt about Xi Yu's ability, and there will be no problem even if he serves as a Taiwei.
The key is that this position was recommended by Yang Biao.
Its purpose is unknown.
Xun You's views are consistent with his uncle's, although compared to the relationship between Xun Yu and Xi Yu, his friendship with Xi Yu is not too deep.
But Xun You also respected Xi Yu very much.
Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao, who were behind Cao Cao, had somewhat different ideas.
This Kung Fu drama Zhicai is also a little confused!
Just for a moment, he thought of the intention of Yang Biao and others, which was to use the title of Taiwei to sow discord between his brothers and Cao Cao.
This time Yang Biao considered retreat as advance.
The emperor's attendants came to the theater last night, and Xi Zhicai also knew about it. Now, the meaning is obvious that the emperor is involved.
Next, it is a question for my brothers how to choose.
Do you want to accept the post of Taiwei?
Xi Yu didn't expect that Liu Xie's purpose in asking him to come to court would be this. Although this surprised him a little, he understood the intention somewhat.
He didn't speak, and raised his eyes to look at Cao Cao beside him.
At this moment, Cao Cao also looked at Xi Yu.
The intentions of Liu Xie, Yang Biao and others were so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a hint of wooing and alienating in them.
Now, what makes Cao Cao more concerned is how Xi Yu will choose.
If you take over the title of Taiwei, will you join him as one of the three princes?
Once the position of Taiwei is passed, it will be difficult for Xi Yu and him to belong to the same camp.
Cao Cao is not in a hurry as to how Xi Yu will choose.
Liu Xie, who was sitting on the red osmanthus, spoke again.
"When Mr. Yang said this, I also remembered that the drama queen has made great contributions in the past two years, but I have overlooked too much."
Liu Xie looked a little apologetic. He didn't wait for the next person to speak, and immediately started to award the reward.
"Summoned, Zhu Xiyu was granted the title of Grand Lieutenant of the Han Dynasty and Chief Agriculture Officer of the Han Dynasty, and was given the title of Marquis of Changling!"
As soon as this edict came out, even Xi Yu couldn't help but frown.
Behind him, Xi Zhicai’s eyebrows jumped wildly.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, what was Liu Xie doing? With this reward, Xi Yu can be said to occupy the position of the three nobles and nine ministers, occupying both.
Throughout the ages, few people have been able to hold both positions at the same time. With such an honor, even Sikong could hardly compare to him.
Of course, Xi Yu obviously does not have military power.
If you calculate it this way, there is actually not much difference between the two.
At this time, everyone under Cao Cao looked at each other.
Cao Cao did not speak.
Logically speaking, the imperial court has already awarded the reward, and Kung Fu Xiyu should step forward to receive the reward.
However, Xiyu did not stand up immediately at this moment.
He didn't care about Cao Cao, but felt that Liu Xie's approach was a bit too obvious.
"Xi Qing!"
Xi Yu didn't make the slightest move for the first time, and Liu Xie, who was above Danxi, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
His reward had already been awarded, so Xiyu didn't express his position at this time.
It's already a taboo in itself.
If it had been the big man from before, I'm afraid someone would have stood up and directly accused Xi Yu of being disrespectful.
However, at this time, no one came out of the court.
Liu Xie shouted from above, and the other party started to speak. Xi Yu knew that he couldn't escape.
However, it doesn't hurt to accept this edict.
For him, there is not much difference between being a Taiwei or a Yushi doctor.
In the final analysis, it is just a change of power from an honorary third official to a real and powerful third official position.
It's no big deal if I take it.
Xiyu comes out.
At this time, he did not look at Lao Cao anymore, and bowed to Liu Xie.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
The voice was neither salty nor bland, and contained no joy at all.
However, for Liu Xie and others, this drama has already come to an end.
Cao Cao, on the left, frowned.
His expression didn't change much in response to Xi Yu's behavior.
And as Xiyu accepted the order, the court meeting continued, followed by another period of trivial matters, and then the court meeting ended.
The emperor deliberately kept Yang Biao in the palace, which was more obvious.
After coming out of Deyang Palace, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at the sky.
At this time, among the hundreds of officials, someone had already raised their hands to Xi Yu and saluted: "Congratulations, Lieutenant Commander!"
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis!"
The names are different, but generally speaking, congratulations are expressed openly.
Among them were officials from Dong Cheng's side and some people from Cao Cao's side.
Xiyu returned the favor lightly. To him, after all, it was just a professional title.
Perhaps, for other people, the change in Xi Yu's position means a change in the political situation in the court, but for Xi Yu.
He didn't care whether it was a Taiwei, a royal censor, or a senior agricultural officer.
When walking from Deyang Palace to the outside of the palace, Cao Cao did not walk with Xi Yu at the first time.
At this time, Xi Yu didn't move directly towards Cao Cao.
In front of the main hall in the distance, Liu Xie's figure walked out of the hall at some point, and Yang Biao stood beside him.
"It seems to be just as Mr. Yang expected!"
When Xi Yu left the court before, he would always leave with Cao Cao, but this time, there was a distance between them.
On the surface, they all seem a little unfamiliar.
And for them, this is exactly what they want to see.
at the same time.
Cao Cao walked slowly outside the palace city. Someone under his command subconsciously glanced at Xi Zhicai, but couldn't help but make a sound of advice.
"Sikong, why didn't you say a word in the court just now?"
This obviously means why Cao Cao didn't say anything to stop Liu Xie from appreciating Xi Yu.
Nowadays, Xi Yu's official position is equal to that of Cao Cao, and Xi Yu is completely separated from Cao Cao.
This is not a good thing for everyone in Cao Ying.
Xi Zhicai remained silent.
Xun Yu, who was standing next to him, could not help but speak: "What do you mean by this? Whether you are Sikong or Taiwei, both of them are serving the imperial court!"
Although Xun Yu understood the difference, he only had the ideal of helping the Han Dynasty in his heart.
Whether it is Cao Cao or Xi Yu, to him, they are both fellow travelers who help the Han Dynasty with him.
This has always been the case.
Cheng Yu did not speak. He also had some friendship with Xi Yu. The situation in front of him made it even more obvious that the emperor seemed to intend to create a gap between Cao Cao and Xi Yu.
Sikong understood this purpose after thinking about it.
As Xun Yu spoke, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and smiled.
"Fengyi and I are as close as brothers. This is a great joy. We should be happy for Fengyi!"
Cao Cao had a smile on his face. At this time, his steps accelerated and he moved towards Xi Yu's side in two or three steps.
"Fengyi, Fengyi!"
Hearing Cao Cao shouting, Xi Yu paused in his footsteps.
"Brother Meng De!"
