Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 314
Cao Cao was very happy to see the head of Master Shang and his disciples. Although the tiger and leopard cavalry lost a lot, they can still be reorganized after all.He now has countless war horses and hundreds of good generals. As long as Cao Chun is still there, he can mobilize some elite soldiers and rebuild the tiger and leopard cavalry in a short time.

But Master Shang and his disciples could not come back from the dead. Without a general, Zhang Yi would definitely lose a lot.What's more, Master Shang and his apprentices have been famous for a long time. They were the first group of people to follow Zhang Yi. It was rumored early that they are the most famous under Zhang Yi. Only Di Qing can be as famous as him.With the reputation of killing Master Shang and his disciples, Cao Cao's purpose of using troops this time has been achieved.

Looking at the head of Master Shang and his apprentice, Cao Cao not only showed a smile.

"Hiss—" Cao Cao took a deep breath, and not only pressed his head with his hands, but it took him a long time to put it down.He wiped the cold sweat off his head, and couldn't help saying to himself: "The headaches are getting more and more frequent, it seems that I don't have much time."

The reason why Cao Cao did not appease the troops but also wanted to kill Master Shang and his disciples was indeed an attempt.This was guessed by Li Jing by mistake, but Li Jing didn't know Cao Cao's purpose.Cao Cao had already made preparations in Xuchang before mobilizing his troops, and he would launch them only after the military report returned to Xuchang.

Cao Cao had already sent someone to report quickly to Xuchang. After receiving the military report, Xi Xi and others went to see the emperor immediately.

The emperor really had more than a dozen officials sent by Cao Cao, and immediately had a bad feeling.Sure enough, the censor Xi Ji said: "The prime minister sent a fast horse to report today that he has killed General Zhang Yi, Master Shang and his disciples."

"Master and apprentice Shang?" The emperor was also shocked, the emperor had heard of the name of master and apprentice Shang.

Although people in the Central Plains look down on people from other regions, they still pay close attention to famous figures in other regions.For example, Hebei famous generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, such as Sun Ce, and Ma Chao, these are all well-known fighters in the Central Plains, and they are highly praised.Of course, these praises are only praises for their bravery, but their personalities are strongly belittled.People like Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others said they had no brains, but admitted that they lacked bravery, so when Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, Guan Yu's name immediately began to spread throughout the Central Plains.Before that, Guan Yu was basically a nobody, who cared about him?

The same is true for Master Shang and his apprentices. As Zhang Yi's power grows, Master Shang and his disciples should not pretend to be the biggest minions of Zhang Yi's subordinates, just like Yan Liangwen is ugly.Among Yuan Shao's subordinates, the talented generals should belong to Qu Yi and Zhang Yun, while Yan Liang and Wen Chou are only famous.The same is true for Master Shang and his apprentices. There are many people who are more capable than him. Li Jing, Fu Youde, Xue Rengui and others are more capable than Master Shang and his disciples, but they are not as famous as Master Shang and his apprentices.

When the emperor heard that Cao Cao had killed Master Shang and his disciples, he was shocked, and his face revealed a look of joy, "The prime minister has made such great achievements, and he should indeed be rewarded. It's just that the prime minister is already an extremely human minister, and he is not weak. How is the county marquis?"

Xi Xi said: "The Marquis of Feng can no longer cover the great achievements of the Prime Minister."

The emperor asked: "Then how should I reward you?"

Xi Xi said: "You can add nine tins to the prime minister, follow Xiao He's old example, and allow the prime minister to pay homage to the unknown and walk on the sword!"

The emperor didn't want to do this, so he said to Xi Ji and others: "Let's call the courtiers to discuss this matter!"

The emperor's words were just excuses. In fact, the only person he wanted to discuss was Shangshu Ling Xun Yu.Because the emperor knew that since Kong Rong died, only Xun Yu could rely on him.

Of course Xixi knew the emperor's plan, he took a step forward and said: "This matter is nothing more than a trivial matter, Your Majesty can completely decide for himself."

Seeing that he was so persecuted, the emperor had no choice but to say: "According to the Han system, only if you are granted a public title, you can add nine tins. If you do not grant a public title, you need to change the system. It is a very important matter. Let's wait until the court meeting!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately walked away, not wanting to listen to them anymore.

Seeing that the emperor had fled, Xi Xi and others couldn't force him to continue.We had to wait for the court meeting to proceed before raising this matter.

During the court meeting the next day, Xi Ji brought up the matter again.Shang Shuling Xun Yu immediately retorted: "There is no such case for adding Jiuxi without being a duke! It is the legacy of Gaozu that people with the surname of Liu are not allowed to be dukes."

Xi Li eloquently said: "That's what Xun Linggong said, but the prime minister has made great contributions over the years, and the ordinary rewards can no longer cover the merits of the prime minister. If you have meritorious service and don't reward you, you will disturb the soldiers. I'm afraid this is not what Xun Linggong wanted. See it!"

Xi Xi made Xun Yu frown, he was threatening himself.But Xi Xi's words are very reasonable. Now the army is all listening to Cao Cao. In the past, Yang Feng and others fought against Cao Cao, but now Cao Cao basically covers the sky with one hand.If there is any sudden trouble in the army, then only Cao Cao can settle it.

Xun Yu will definitely not let the military chaos happen, because once the military chaos occurs, the Han Dynasty, which has no majesty, will basically lose its final face.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu had no choice but to say: "It is unprecedented to add Jiuxi without being a public official. Even if the system is reformed, it needs to be reported to the heavens. On the [-]th of this month, a ceremony to worship the heavens will be held in the suburbs before it can be implemented."

Xi Xi and the others looked at each other, nodded and said: "I will obey the order."

After everyone dispersed, the emperor said to Xun Yu worriedly: "If this matter is agreed, will the prime minister intensify in the future?"

Xun Yu said: "This matter must be agreed, there is no room for loopbacks. But when the heaven is sacrificed, I will let the people of Xuchang have a glimpse of His Majesty's demeanor, so that His Majesty can use this to win people's hearts."

When the emperor heard this, he smiled a little.He has experienced difficulties since he was a child. If he had real power, he should be a good emperor.It's a pity that he was born at an untimely time, in this involuntary era.If it was born decades earlier, maybe the Eastern Han Dynasty could still be revived.

After Xi Xi and others left the palace, they also began to discuss.Lu Cui said: "Shang Shu Ling wants to show the royal dignity!"

Xi Xi said: "Nowadays there is no dignity to speak of. Let your subordinates instigate rogues to spread around the Emperor's Royal Road, and when they see the Emperor coming, they will pretend to be playful."

Everyone understands that this is a good time to show the emperor's majesty, but it is also a good time to lose face.

No matter what, the news spread that the emperor was going to sacrifice to heaven. This was the first time that people in Xuchang could see the emperor, so they started talking about it.

However, some also started to take action, gathered together to discuss something, during which there were some quarrels, and then broke up unhappy.

After these people dispersed, one person started preparations alone, found a high platform around the emperor's royal road, and then returned to the residence to piece together a crossbow and wear a waist card on his body.
