The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 318
When Cao Cao was angry, he was very sad. He always regarded Xun Yu as a friend, but in the end you still have to be a Hanchen.But he knew that Xun Yu was a principled person, and since he publicly expressed his opposition, he would not change his mind.

Cao Cao winked at Dong Zhao, and Dong Zhao said, "This is what everyone expects. How can you stop everyone's expectations because of you?"

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the people knew that it was time to stand in line. Whether you want to be an official of the Han Dynasty or Prime Minister Cao, you have to make it clear today. If you don’t want to say it, you will have to bear the consequences.

So the Cao clan, the Xiahou clan, Xun You, Jia Xu, Mao Jie, Cui Yan, Zhong Yao, Cheng Yu, Wang Can and others all urged Cao Cao to become the Duke of Wei.

Cao Cao has always acted rashly, but this time he had to put on a show and refused desperately, saying that he was not virtuous enough and did not make enough credit, so he deserved it!
What reassured Cao Cao was that although Xun Yu was firmly opposed to being named Wei Gong, Xun You supported him.

People from the same family, who are as close as uncles and nephews, will make different choices in matters related to their destiny and future.

Maybe Xun Yu is too stick to principles, not afraid of death; but Xun You is very shrewd and cautious, he knows that this matter is not something he can stop, rather than being implicated in the family if he fails to achieve his goal, it is better to just push the boat along Bar!Anyway, Gaozu said at the time that he could not be crowned king, but he did not say that he could not be crowned king.

Only Xun Yu stood alone in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not knowing how he felt in his heart.

Everyone also knew that Cao Cao's resignation was just a formality. Anyone who thinks that Cao Cao is really ashamed is out of his mind, so a few days after coming here, everyone once again jointly persuaded him to come in.

Cao Cao refused again, still with the same rhetoric, how could he do this, I am not worthy!

So, everyone had to do it again, and this time should be the last time, because it was really tiring.

This time, even the local officials who are not in the central court have joined together, and the momentum is very large. If you, Prime Minister Cao, do not agree, we will die.

This time, Cao Cao finally reluctantly accepted the title of Duke Wei.

Since the civil and military ministers all supported Prime Minister Cao so much, the emperor had nothing to do, and he didn't dare to refuse. The "clothes edict" incident back then had frightened the emperor.

The emperor sent the imperial censor Xi Luzhijie to make Cao Cao a duke, and named the country "Wei". He also gave him nine tins, which symbolized authority, and placed them in Hedong, Hanoi, Weijun, Zhaoguo, Zhongshan, Changshan, etc. in Jizhou. Waiting for ten counties as Wei Gong's feudal territory, the capital was established in Yecheng of Wei County.

At the same time, Cao Cao still served as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou Mu.

Since defeating Yuan Shang, Cao Cao has always regarded Yecheng as his base camp. Yecheng is the capital of Wei County and Jizhou, the land of Wei State in the Warring States Period, and the political, military and economic center of Jizhou, so Cao Cao's feudal state is called Wei Guo.

Emperor Liu Xie also specifically pointed out in the edict that although Cao Cao's title is a duke, his country's organizational system, administration, and judicial system are still the same as those of the princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty.

In other words, although Liu Xie made Cao Cao a duke, he actually made Cao Cao a king, because all his powers and treatment were the same as those of the princes.

Later, Cao Cao built the ancestral temple and the state of Ji in Yecheng.

The ancestral temple is a place where the emperor and princes worship their ancestors, while the Sheji is a place where the earth gods and grain gods are worshiped.

Sheji is a symbol of national power. Feudal dynasties of all dynasties must first establish a sheji and then establish a country.A country that destroys people does not necessarily destroy people's ancestral temples, but it will definitely destroy his community.

Well now, this is equivalent to Cao Cao not only serving as the general manager in the head office of Dahan, but also opening his own subsidiary under the head office, and Liu Xie, the chairman of the head office, is still a puppet. He was forced to transfer the shares unconditionally.

In this way, the office building of Cao Cao's subsidiary was completed and ready to open, so Cao Cao began to build his own organization.

Cao Cao appointed Xun You as the minister, Liang Mao as servant, Mao Jie, Cui Yan and others as ministers, Wang Can, Wei Qi and others as servants, Zhong Yao as minister, Hua Xin as imperial official, and Chen Qun as imperial governor. Shi Zhongcheng, Cheng Yu as Wei Wei, and so on.

This time, many officials of the Han Dynasty changed into officials of the Duke of Wei. They were Cao Cao’s personal subordinates, and they had a formal relationship with Cao Cao. The central bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty was replaced by the official office of the Duke of Wei. .Cao Cao can not only serve the emperor to order the princes, but also imitate Zhou Zhao, Taigong and others in ancient times, and conquer the Quartet in the name of the feudal state and the banner of the emperor of the guard.

Of course, apart from Cao Cao, there are not many other princes in the world now.

All the civil and military officials in the court were happy that they had become Wei Gong's ministers, but Xun Yu stayed behind closed doors, claiming that he was ill, and he didn't even care about military and political affairs.

Of course, there may be some people who are very happy on the surface that Cao Cao was named Duke Wei, but are very dissatisfied in their hearts, but they dare not show it.

The main characters in the "Yibei Zhao" incident were basically eliminated by Cao Cao, and now there is only one Liu Bei left.In today's world, perhaps only Liu Bei's son-in-law, Jingzhou Mu Zhang Wu, has the strength to fight against Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei, his status has been greatly different from before. In terms of real power, he is No. 1 in the world.But in name, he is still the courtier of the emperor, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, Cao Cao moved his overlord mansion to Yecheng, left the emperor Liu Xie in Xudu, and at the same time moved all the officials and the families of Cao Jun soldiers needed to govern the country to Yecheng, and Xudu became an empty shelf. .

Of course, it is impossible for Cao Cao to leave the emperor in Xudu to give him freedom and let him let himself go, because the emperor is also a big card in his hand, and it still has some effect at present, so he cannot be allowed to run away.

In order to control the emperor, Cao Cao married his daughter to Liu Xie, and ordered Cao Hong to command the Imperial Forest Army, guard the palace, and monitor the emperor.

After the news of Cao Cao's accession to the throne of Duke of Wei spread, the world was in an uproar. Although everyone in the world knew that Cao Cao was in power and the emperor had become a puppet, they did not expect that he would dare to take such a step. Neither Huo Guang nor Dong Zhuo dared to do this. Do.

There are still people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty in this world. Of course, they scolded Cao Cao for being a traitor and traitor. Will the next step be to usurp the throne and stand on their own?It's really everyone who gets it and kills it!
However, it has been 25 years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the people all over the world have suffered greatly from the war, and even many aristocratic families have died because of the war, so now there are not many people who are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty and have their hearts towards the emperor. .

After the news reached Jingzhou, Zhang Wu of course had to express his position. He strongly condemned Cao Cao's rebellious behavior, resolutely refused to recognize Cao Cao's position as the Duke of Wei, and firmly supported the Han court and the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Such a contrarian behavior expresses disappointment and distress.

At the same time, Zhang Wu also called on the world's promising people to unite and fight against Cao thief together.
