"Cao Gong raised a righteous army to support the Ning Kingdom. He was loyal and sincere and kept the truth of retreat. A gentleman loves others with virtue and should not presume to be a duke." On the second day after Hua Xin asked Cao Cao to be the Duke of Wei, Xun Yu came to court.
At the meeting, he criticized Cao Cao's move to claim the throne.
Xun Yu's revolt caught everyone's expectations. No matter the royalists, Cao Cao's side, or the emperor himself, they did not expect that Xun Yu would suddenly jump out and oppose Cao Cao's decision to declare himself emperor.
It is not surprising that someone would criticize Cao Cao's declaration of power, but if that person is Xun Yu, the significance is extraordinary.
When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu speaking, although his expression remained unchanged, a trace of anxiety flashed in the corners of his eyes.
I originally thought that after Hua Xin went to the table yesterday and carried out various actions throughout the day, he would be able to finalize the issue of enfeoffing Wei Gong today.
But I never thought that Xun Yu would suddenly stand up for the Han Dynasty.
Some other royalists, no matter how fierce they shouted, were not a threat to Cao Cao at all. They were just small fish and shrimps, and their opinions and ideas were insignificant. Cao Cao could completely ignore them without worrying about any problems.
But Xun Yu came forward to oppose his claim to the throne, which made the matter very serious. Xun Yu's identity was too important. He was not only the head of the Xun family in Yingchuan, but also his number one adviser.
Now, his top adviser openly opposes his decision to proclaim himself public. What impact will this have?
The royalists will be overjoyed. They will think that there may be signs of division within Cao's camp, so they will take some actions one after another. They may even regard Xun Yu as their backbone to try to fight against them.
On the emperor's side, with Xun Yu's support, I am afraid that he will be emboldened. Today, the emperor is a young man of twenty-five years old. He is at the age of passion and impulsiveness. I am afraid that he has long been unable to bear his own hegemony.
.If there is no external help, the emperor may have no choice but to compromise under his own pressure, but once he gets help, he is likely to make every effort to go against himself in an attempt to completely get rid of his control.
After thinking about this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel angry. He was angry that Xun Yu had followed him for so many years, but he was still firmly on the side of the Han Dynasty.
As the wisest planner in the world, couldn't he see that the fate of the Han Dynasty was about to end? The demise of the Han Dynasty was God's will and could not be reversed by human power! Why could a wise man like Xun Yu not see the end?
Knowing this, he is determined to go against destiny!
Although Dong Cheng secretly contacted and initiated the third-line war two years ago, Xun Yu was also responsible for dereliction of duty. If Xun Yu could have been more decisive and ruthless at that time, Dong Cheng might not have a chance to succeed, but Xun Yu was
Because I had a heart for the Han Dynasty, I had a benevolent thought, which led to errors in judgment, which led to such a big trouble.
Regarding Xun Yu's dereliction of duty that time, Cao Cao did not delve into it before. After all, Xun Yu paid too much for himself. Even if he made mistakes, it was not worth the credit, and there was no need to be harshly punished. But now Xun Yu doesn't understand
The current situation blocked him, and Cao Cao couldn't help but think of what happened last time, and the old hatred in his heart surfaced again.
Regarding Xun Yu's statement, the emperor was happiest.
After Hua Xin petitioned to confer Cao Cao the title of Duke of Wei at the court meeting yesterday, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was in a depressed mood. He felt in a haze all day long, as if he had lost three souls and seven souls.
Although he has been a puppet for more than ten years, he has also been the emperor for more than ten years. Liu Xie still has the most basic political vision. If Cao Cao succeeds in becoming Wei Gong, Liu Xie knows what it means.
If Cao Cao became Duke of Wei today, he might be kicked out of the throne in a few years.
Although he is a puppet now, and this emperor is extremely boring, no matter what, the Han Dynasty will still exist after all. But once Cao Cao usurps the throne, the Han Dynasty will be defeated by his own hands. In that case, Liu Xie will seriously
I don’t know how I will face my ancestors after my death.
Yesterday, in his bedroom, Liu Xie stared at the ceiling like this, his eyes unfocused, and he was in a daze for the whole day.
Dong Cheng died, and so did Fu Wan. In the past, whenever he had problems, the two of them would always stand by and think of ways to help him.
Although the two of them generally couldn't think of any useful solutions to the problems they faced, at least at that time, they had two people they could rely on.
Dong Cheng and Fu Wan died one after another, and even his queen and concubine were killed by Cao Cao! Now without their company, the entire palace of the Han Dynasty seemed empty, and he was truly alone without help.
There is no helping hand. Although there are still many maids and eunuchs in the palace, there is no one among them that I can rely on and trust!
This feeling was so bad that Liu Xie was so depressed that he could hardly breathe.
Originally, Liu Xie had planned to give up completely, but he didn't want to suddenly have a turning point. Xun Yu, Cao Cao's most important minister, actually stood on his side and explicitly opposed Cao Cao's claim to power. This suddenly made Liu Xie's heart drop from the abyss.
From the bottom of the pool, he suddenly flew up to the sky.
Liu Xie even felt that he saw the illusory hope - the hope of overthrowing Cao Cao.
