Chapter 396: Drinking by mistake

The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and even the sun is still the red sun. But the crowd that was so lively and grandly welcomed the imperial edict completely changed.

After doing such an official article, the boring nonsense was gone. The incense table was all removed, and everyone was all divided into the host and the host. If you talk about it, it was a real issue of interests. So the atmosphere in the audience immediately became extremely gloomy. If you have poor physical fitness and have not received such training, this dull atmosphere alone can make a person feel bored.

Fortunately, in this hall, ordinary idle people are not qualified to enter. Apart from the trained talent, those who can stay here are people like Cao Ren who are very, very good physical fitness.

However, even if Cao Ren's physical fitness is very strong and he is not suppressed to vomit blood in such an environment, it does not mean that Cao Ren's psychological quality is also very strong. Cao Ren, who was already very frustrated, couldn't help but feel a little creepy in this dull atmosphere.

Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more serious. It was quiet and silent. Although there was no clock to record the time, there were no boring things like hourglass and sundials. However, a hot and fragrant hot tea had cooled down. This reminded the people present that time had passed for a long time.

Finally, compared with Liu Ming's group of senior genitals who were extremely pure in self-cultivation and cultivation skills, Cao Ren's fragile heart finally could not bear this huge, silent pressure.

Cao Ren couldn't help but cough gently, but this cough echoed in the quiet hall, but it scared Cao Ren himself. Cao Ren said embarrassedly: "Master Taiwei, the matter of your assassination really has nothing to do with my prime minister. The subordinates can use their lives to guarantee this matter."

Liu Ming didn't say anything, but just looked at Cao Ren coldly.

Guo Jia next to him said, "General Cao, we met and had a great time talking to each other that day. We all admire General Cao as a gentleman and open-minded man. Why should we deceive each other today?"

Cao Ren said with a little guilty and annoyed, "I..."

But before Cao Ren continued to say it, Liu Ming snorted coldly, interrupted Cao Ren and said, "Wang Xiao, no matter whether he was sent by the Prime Minister or not, since the court has issued an order, there is no need to mention this matter. When today is in chaos, most of the imperial court's orders cannot be issued. Since we are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, we should set an example for the people of the world."

"Yes." Guo Jiazheng responded helplessly.

Cao Ren is so ashamed.

You should know that when Cao Ren was young, he had ideals and ambitions, and wanted to serve the court, defend his country, pacify the world, and appease the country. It was only after experiencing vicissitudes and the hope was destroyed that he placed his hope on Cao Cao. He hoped that under the leadership of Cao Cao, the Cao family could rise, stand tall in the present, pacify the world, and make the universe clear.

Therefore, Cao Ren was extremely ashamed and admired Liu Ming's loyalty to the court. However, Cao Ren still gritted his teeth in secret and shouted: No! The Han Dynasty is almost over. It is completely corrupt. It is impossible to make the world stable again. Only Meng De can make the world stable again.

But just when Cao Ren was in a state of turmoil, Jia Xu stood up and said, "Master Taiwei, Prime Minister Cao controls the government affairs, and the government orders are often handled by Prime Minister Cao. The authenticity of the imperial edict of the court is really suspicious and cruel. I hope Master Taiwei will understand clearly and not be fooled by a slut."

Cao Ren's heart was fooled and immediately raised his throat again. Cao Ren was Cao Cao's confidant, so of course he knew how his imperial edict came about.

At this time, Xun Yu next to him said without hesitation: "Master Taiwei, this imperial edict from the court is just a private seal of Long Live now. There is no seal of the national treasure jade seal. It is not a real imperial edict, and it is not a real one. We have no need to pay attention to it. After our troops head south, clear the lords and eliminate the treacherous ones, we will not blame us. The princes in the world will not have any gossip."

It was very refreshing and even a little cool, but the sweat on Cao Ren's head was flowing down. Cao Ren's throat became even more cracked. Cao Ren's belly said, but he didn't know what to say. The truth these people said was really like a handful of knifes inserted into Cao Ren. Cao Ren finally knew why the truth was always the most difficult to resist and the most lethal. Because they were telling the truth.

"My dear, although this imperial edict is indistinguishable from the truth, it is still an imperial edict after all. It is the imperial edict issued by the court. If we ignore it, our Taiwei is the example of the world. If outsiders do not know the truth or falsehood, they will definitely imitate it. The majesty of the imperial edict will be gone. The world will be even more chaotic. This goes against the original intention of our Taiwei. Anyway, our Taiwei has not suffered any real damage now, so why should we call this true? It would be better to just forget it." Cai Yong stood up in a harmonious manner and persuaded.

Looking at the red old man in front of him, Cao Ren felt extremely warm. How cute is this old man?

"Forget it? How can this be done! What a precious person is our Grand Marshal? He is a relative of the royal family, the brother recognized by the late emperor himself. He is the emperor's uncle of today. How can we say that he is assassinated by someone, just as someone who is assassinated by someone? Where is the majesty of Grand Marshal? What is the face of the royal family today? Besides, we have delayed a lot of farming times this time. If the army moves, it will consume a lot of money every day, and that is all real things. How can we just let it go?" Yang Jun jumped out angrily and sang a stage show with Cai Yong.

Cao Ren is so angry. He is not afraid of no good things, but he is afraid of no good people. You said, two old men under the sky, why is there such a big gap between people? Quality!

However, at least, the old man Yang Jun led the matter to the interests. Cao Ren had some clues in his heart, not as much as he had said as he had heard the truth just now. Cao Ren quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Master Taiwei. If you can think about the overall situation, my Prime Minister is willing to recommend Kong Beihai as the herd of Qingzhou."

Cao Ren was quite satisfied with his words. This was a real benefit. It was one of the several aces that Cao Cao gave to Cao Ren when Cao Ren set off.

However, Cao Ren was immediately stunned.

"Why should Master Kong from Beihai recommend the Prime Minister? Kong Beihai loves the people as much as his son and is highly respected by the people of Qingzhou. Which of the people of Qingzhou does not follow the leader of Master Kong? Recommending Master Kong's formula should have been sent to the court at this time, right?" Xun You slowly poured a cup of cold water on Cao Ren.

Maybe if Xun Youde said this to Cao Hong, Cao Hong might not understand the mystery. But as a wise general, Cao Ren could not hear the meaning of this sentence? It was obvious that Qingzhou had been taken down by Liu Ming. That would be a matter of trouble.

Cao Ren was secretly shocked: Liu Ming's strength is too terrifying, right? How long has it been, we just occupied our Sili, and then we seized Qingzhou again. And it was all so fast and easy. Wouldn't you be able to let the mermaid meat on your side? Or did Meng De have the foresight and was not prepared to fight Liu Ming head-on. If this continues, wouldn't Meng De's wealth be involved?

I don’t know what to say, Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said sternly: “When there is a chaos today, the people urgently need to rest. For the sake of the people of the world, my prime minister can compensate the Taiwei for the losses. As long as the Taiwei says a number, we can afford it and never say we are not a child. If we can’t afford it, we will have to break our heads.”

"Okay! Good spirit!" Liu Ming praised: "General Cao, this is your true nature. I was originally going to obey the will of the court and no longer pursue this matter. Now, I will not change my mind about your General Cao's character. If you don't have any compensation, as long as I can give an explanation to the people who love me, I will be willing to do it. Come on, you can have a few drinks with me. They will do those trivial matters. Look back and see if it is not suitable, let him change it."

Cao Ren's heart was so warm that he could hear. Liu Ming, don't be the Grand Marshal. He is such a good person and a man.

Immediately, the banquet was put on, and Dian Wei pulled Cao Ren and poured it hard. Soon, Cao Ren became confused. The good wine in Youzhou was a very large amount of strong wine. Cao Ren still poured it into a jar like ordinary water wine. How could he not be dizzy? This was the second time Cao Ren was dizzy by Liu Ming's fine wine.

Just as Cao Ren was stunned, Guo Jia and his team had agreed on the compensation agreement. He took it over and looked at it for Cao Ren. Cao Ren took it over and saw that the words were like a dancing villain, dancing around, and he could not see clearly.

Cao Ren returned the agreement to Guo Jia and said, "Tell me... what are these?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "General Cao, my grand lieutenant has said that even if it means, we dare to cheat you? However, when my grand lieutenant is assassinated, he has to take some murderers out of the tank. These murderers, whether they are real or fake murderers, in short, these murderers will be captured by your prime minister and brought to us, and handed over to our grand lieutenant to deal with at will. Isn't this an exaggeration?"

When Cao Ren heard this, it was nothing. It was natural to kill someone and pay for his life. How could there be few murderers venting their anger when the Taiwei was assassinated? So Cao Ren slapped his chest and cracked his mouth and said, "Zhong! This is no problem. It's wrapped around my prime minister. Is there anything else?"

"There are no more. But this time we sent troops to Sili, we used many troops, and the entire Sili was taken down by them. According to our practice, their rewards were a considerable amount. The rewards of the land were even more huge. If they were allowed to return like this, their rewards would be completely ruined. This would greatly damage our army's military law, which clearly distinguished rewards and punishments. Therefore, this huge sum of money can only be shared by my Grand Marshal and your Prime Minister." Guo Jia said sighing.

"How much can this be? My prime minister has all been included." Cao Ren said indifferently. In Cao Ren's concept, Cao Cao's military merit rewards were already extremely generous. Cao Cao would not care about the rewards for conquering a state.

"Hehe, you guys have it all? I'm afraid you really can't afford it. Forget it, anyway, our Grand Marshal said that as long as you want to do it, you can do it. You can get one percent, then forget it." Guo Jia said despised.

"What? We can't afford it. We underestimate people too much. I'll give it to you. Come on that. I'll give it to you now." Cao Ren's anger for a long time finally burst out under the instigation of alcohol.

Guo Jia smiled and took the agreement, asking Cao Ren to sign and seal it in two copies. Cao Ren also signed his name without any ambiguity.

The next day, when Cao Ren woke up, he carefully looked at the agreement he signed. Cao Ren's head buzzed and almost fainted again.

I saw that the words on it were written clearly in black and white. Although it was the same as what Guo Jia said in general, the specific numbers involved were a number that Cao Ren could not face.

First of all, when Liu Ming was assassinated, Cao Cao was responsible for catching the murderer. That was right. But it was clearly written on it. According to the result of the Youzhou interrogation, the murderer organization was a killer organization with tens of thousands of members. This means that Cao Cao had to send 10,000 strong laborers to Youzhou.

Secondly, the military expenditure of Youzhou was spent on 500,000 troops. The consumption of soldiers in one month was 1 million stones of soldiers and 200,000 troops were sent to Sili. The occupied Sili territory was rewarded 1,000 yuan, and the officers were doubled. The territory of Sili was converted into 60,000 yuan. A total of 90,000 yuan was rewarded.

Although Cao Ren didn't understand how much gold and silver it was equivalent to this 90,000 yuan, the number that Cao Ren couldn't calculate was, so Cao Ren knew that this was not a good thing that could be easily taken out.

Cao Ren was anxious at that time and went to Liu Ming to argue with him. But when he arrived at Liu Ming's mansion, Cao Ren rushed up, but was stopped by two soldiers.

Cao Ren said angrily: "I am the imperial envoy of the court. I will discuss with your Grand Marshal. I will report it quickly."

"My Grand Marshal is not here. You go back and wait."

Cao Ren was even more annoyed. What was going on hiding from me? I didn’t see anyone in just one night? This is not possible!
