When other necessary conflicts were not involved, Cao Cao was very tolerant of Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Only then could there be a scene where Liu Xie criticized the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
After handling the affairs at the court meeting, Cao Cao rushed to the Xun Mansion without stopping.
When the steward of the Xun Mansion saw that it was Cao Cao, he quickly greeted him with a smile, "Meet the Prime Minister."
Xu Chu stared at the steward indifferently and said firmly, "The emperor has just consecrated the prime minister as Wei Gong. From now on, when you see the prime minister, you must call him your king!"
The butler was shocked for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know, I forgive you."
Cao Cao waved his hand, "No problem, has Wen Ruo ever returned home?"
"The master is inside, and the younger one is going to report."
"No need, go find Wenruo alone!"
After that, Cao Cao walked straight into the mansion. Xu Chu followed behind with a group of tiger guards.

The housekeeper looked at the group of people entering and murmured, "Mr. Wei? Then King Wei and Emperor Wei are not far away, right?"
Xun Mansion does not look luxurious. There are only a dozen cypress trees planted in the yard, which are already as thick as calves.
This was planted in Xun Yu's mansion when he followed Cao Cao. It has been almost twenty years now.
Xun Yu was standing in the courtyard. He didn't even change his official uniform, as if he knew Cao Cao would come, "I'm going to pay homage to the Prime Minister. I didn't know that the Prime Minister was coming, so I missed the opportunity to welcome him from afar."
Cao Cao stepped forward and helped Xun Yu up. The expression on his face was a bit helpless and a bit regretful, "Wen Ruo, I am alone..."
Suddenly, Cao Cao grabbed Xun Yu's hands excitedly, "I don't want to lose Wen Ruo!"
Xun Yu took out his hand and pointed at the cypress trees in the courtyard, "Ming Gong, these cypress trees were planted after I took refuge with Ming Gong. For twenty years, no matter how the environment changes, they have always been green and upright."
This is a polite rejection. At the beginning, you, Cao Mengde, also had the intention of loyally assisting the Han Dynasty. Today, you have changed, but I, Xun Yu, am still a Han official like this green cypress tree!
"Ming Gong?" Hearing this title, Cao Cao smiled, "When Wen Ruo came to seek refuge with Gu, he called him Ming Gong. I didn't want to hear it again today."
Xun Yu said expressionlessly, "If the Sikong is not enough, the Prime Minister is not enough, is Wei Gong enough? Where are the King of Wei and the Emperor of Wei? Are they still far away? The original Ming Gong was Ming Gong, and today's Ming Gong is Wei Gong. No.
It’s the same.”

Cao Cao sighed, "Wen Ruo, at the beginning, Gu's ambition was just to be like Wei and Huo, to resist the captors and protect me. It was enough for Gu to think that after his death, his tombstone would be engraved with General Cao Cao who conquered the West."
"But can the Han Dynasty be saved? When the princes were attacking Dong, I went to pursue him alone, but was almost killed by Xu Rong who ambushed me! When the emperor fled eastward, all the princes in the world couldn't avoid him. He was alone and did not avoid dangers.
, went to Luoyang with great hardships, and welcomed the emperor to Xudu!"
"Wen Ruo, you can see Gu's loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Gu also wanted to help the building before it collapsed. But today, it is no longer up to Gu to decide what to do and how to make decisions."
As he said that, Cao Cao's tone turned out to be a bit pleading, "Wen Ruo, don't leave Gu, Gu can't live without Wen Ruo."
Xun Yu smiled and replied sternly, "I know Duke Ming's difficulties, but I have my own original intention. I forgive you and I can no longer serve Duke Ming."
"Wen Ruo, Gu... I beg you!"
Cao Mengde, a traitor and strong man throughout his life, actually asked for help.
Xun Yu just bowed his hands and saluted, "In order to eliminate the traitors and put an end to the chaos, I would like to stand side by side with Duke Ming and become the king and prime minister. I apologize that I can no longer go with Duke Ming."
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with tears. He knew that he could no longer convince Xun Yu.
While returning the gift, he said, "Wen Ruo, I promise you that in this life, I will only serve as a Han minister!"

After saying that, Cao Cao turned around and left, shouting, "Everyone in the world has misjudged me, Cao Mengde!"
Late at night, Xun Yu sat in the main hall and waited.
The housekeeper hurried in with a food box, "Sir, Mr. Wei gave me a food box. Would you like to eat now?"
Xun Yu nodded, "This is a gift from your venerable master. I dare not refuse. Please come up."
"promise."
The butler placed the food box on the table in front of Xun Yu, and then opened the food box for him. It was actually empty!
"Master, this...why is there nothing here?"
Xun Yu smiled miserably and said, "Go out, close the door for me, and don't allow anyone to come in and disturb me."
"promise."
After the housekeeper left, Xun Yu touched his official uniform and sighed, "After thirty years of service, Xun Yu has no Han salary to eat today."
Then, he took out a porcelain bottle from his chest.
…
In March of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Xun Yu committed suicide in his mansion by taking poison!
"Wen Ruo... Wen Ruo...ah..."
Cao Cao ignored Xu Chu's support and ran all the way to Xun Yu's coffin.
"Wen Ruo, lonely Wen Ruo, lonely Xun Lingjun! You and I have worked together for twenty years, pacified the enemy chiefs, and established the world. The king's appearance is Kuangbi, the king's appearance is to promote people, the king's appearance is Jianji, the king's appearance is
Conspiracy with each other is a great help to the king!"
"Wen Ruo, we agreed to work together to pacify the world and help the Han Dynasty. Now, the world is not settled, why did you leave alone first! Wen Ruo... Wen Ruo..."
After crying, Cao Cao was silent for a while. Yang Xiu took out an imperial edict and read it, "Serving the minister as minister, he has accumulated many virtues and has no regrets. He has been troubled by the world, and he has been loyal and willing to govern. For twenty years,
, traveled around with Gu to conquer, fortunately I got the secrets of your left and right, and worked together as one, Xun Lingjun's achievements were covered with floating clouds, shining in the sun and moon, and the world was determined. It was your merits. Once your Lingjun died, even if you were famous, it would not be enough to show you the king.
If you are virtuous in any case, you will be given the posthumous title of Jinghou, and you will be worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple! The eldest son, Xun Yun Sijue, will be given the title of Tiger and Lieutenant General!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The idea of being entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple was invented by Cao Wei. But this time, Cao Cao went too far and allowed Xun Yu to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple of Wei, but he used the emperor's imperial edict!

Stepping forward to help Xun Yun up, Cao Cao said sadly, "Get up. I have been with your father for twenty years as a ruler and friend. Today your father died. Death is like a lamp going out. No amount of honors can bring your king back to life. Gu
This is all that can be done.”
"I would like to thank you on behalf of my father! Ah...wuwu..."
Sima Yi, who was kneeling in the last position, lowered his head and had beads of sweat on his forehead.
Xun Yu is dead! Yesterday, his body seemed to be fine, but today, he died of illness?
What do others think? He and Hua Xin took the lead in the charge. They didn't dare to resent Cao Cao, nor did they dare to resent Hua Xin and themselves?
"Ah...ah...Your Majesty, why did you go? Your Majesty, when you leave, the imperial court will lose a capable minister, and the world will not have a leader..."
Sima Yi suddenly choked for a few times, and then passed out straight away!
"Zhongda! Zhongda!"
Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi who was being helped out by everyone, and waved towards Xu Chu.
"Your Majesty?"
"Send Sima Yi a food box as well."
"Empty?"
"Full!"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun You, who was kneeling aside, lowered his head and did not even dare to look up.
Xun Yu's character is worthy of admiration from everyone in the world, but it is a pity that there are too few people like him in this world.
Xun Yu's death represented the end of an era and the complete inability of the Han Dynasty to resurrect.
The world is the stage for Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Liu Cong. There is no more Han Dynasty in the competition between Da Chu, Da Wei and Xichuan.
