When Cao Cao got off the chariot and stood in front of Weiyang Palace, he gave Liu Xie some face.
"Please inform the emperor." Cao Cao came to a guard and said.
"Sikong, wait a minute." When the guard saw that the person was Cao Cao, he didn't dare to be negligent. After clasping his fists, he immediately turned around and walked in.[
In the side hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Xie was also handling official business. When the guards came in and reported that Cao Cao was here, Liu Xie's eyes flashed and he knew that he was coming anyway.
To be honest, at this moment, Liu Xie felt a little uneasy. After all, he was facing Cao Cao, who had a large number of troops and had the power of life and death, including his life.
Although the current situation is still favorable to him, today he wants to say no to Cao Cao, a firm no. If this word makes Cao Cao angry, there is a chance that he will be destroyed in a rage, although it is close to
zero.
But after all, there are still some, so Liu Xie was uneasy.
However, when he thought of his son, a boy who was only eight years old, he could face life and death calmly and say those heart-wrenching words.
If I were to be a puppet, I would rather die.
Liu Xie felt very, very determined.
What are you afraid of? Even in the worst case scenario, it is just death. If you remain a puppet for the rest of your life, it will not be a happy death.
After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Xie's eyes flashed, he spread his arms, and then gently lowered them. After a few minutes of pause, Liu Xie raised his head and said, "Xuan."
"Promise." The guard who had been standing in front of him promised, turned around and walked out.
What a powerful aura.
The moment he turned around, the guard was filled with surprise. He had been working as a guard in the palace for a long time, but this was the first time he found Liu Xie to be so courageous.
Not long after the guards walked out, Cao Cao walked in.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Cao Cao bowed to Liu Xie and said.
"I love you, no courtesy." Liu Xie showed a smile on his face and raised his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Cao thanked him and straightened up.
"I don't know what you mean when your beloved comes to see you in such a hurry?" Liu Xie asked knowingly.
"There are ten people with outstanding merits. I came here specifically to ask for the title of Marquis in Guannei for them." Cao Cao said, and then he took out the bamboo slips from his sleeves, walked forward more than ten steps and handed them to Liu Xie.[
"Oh?" Liu Xie was surprised on his face, but sneered in his heart.
Just say that you are selling your title, why bother covering it up with outstanding achievements?
Despite this, Liu Xie quietly unfolded the bamboo slips little by little and read them. There were names of ten people on the bamboo slips, as well as records of where they were from and their family background.
But there is no such thing as outstanding meritorious service.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't know what Liu Xie was thinking at this moment, let alone that the emperor, who had always followed orders, had already started taking action after being bewitched by an eight-year-old child he looked down on.
And say no to him Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was still in a relaxed mood at the moment, with a bit of joy. Five thousand gold, as long as this continues, tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand gold can be collected.
All it takes is for the emperor to stamp his seal.
Because of this mood, Cao Cao even flashed a smile on his face. This was rare. Usually, Cao Cao either had a sullen face or was expressionless, showing no emotion or anger.
Cao Cao rarely smiled. When he laughed, it was when he was in a great mood.
