I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

"Sikong wait a moment." Seeing that it was Cao Cao, the guard did not dare to be negligent. After clasping his fists, he immediately turned and walked in.

In the side hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Xie is also handling official business.When the guards came in and reported that it was Cao Cao who had come.Liu Xie's eyes flashed, knowing that the one who should come still came.

To be honest, at this moment, Liu Xie felt a little uneasy.After all, what he was going to face was Cao Cao, who held a heavy army in his hands, and had the power of life and death, including his life.

Although the current situation is still in his favor.But today he wants to say no to Cao Cao, firmly no.If this word makes Cao Cao angry, there is a chance that he will be abolished in a fit of anger, although it is close to zero.

But after all, there are still some, so Liu Xie is worried.

However, when he thought of his son, who was only eight years old, he was able to calmly face life and death, and uttered those soul-stirring words.

If you are a puppet, you would rather die.

Liu Xie felt very, very firm.

What to be afraid of, even in the worst case, it is nothing but death.If you're still a puppet for the rest of your life, it's better to die happily.

After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Xie's eyes flashed, he spread his arms, and then gently put them down.After a few minutes of pause, Liu Xie raised his head and said, "Xuan."

"No." The guard who had been standing in front of him promised, turned around and walked out.

Such a powerful aura.

The moment he turned around, the guard was full of surprise. He had been a guard in the palace for a long time, but it was the first time he found that Liu Xie was so brave.

Not long after the guards left, Cao Cao walked in.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

Cao Cao bowed to Liu Xie and said.

"Aiqing is free." Liu Xie said with a smile on his face and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Cao thanked him and straightened his body.

"I don't know if Aiqing came to see you in a hurry, what's the matter?" Liu Xie asked knowingly.

"There are ten people who have made outstanding achievements, and I came here to ask for the title of Marquis of Guannei specifically for them." Cao Cao said, and then he took out the bamboo slips from his sleeve, stepped forward and handed them to Liu Xie.

"Oh?" Liu Xie was surprised on the face, but sneered in his heart.

It's fine to just say that you're a nobleman, why bother to cover it up with outstanding achievements.

Even so, Liu Xie quietly unfolded the bamboo slips to read.There are ten names on the bamboo slips, and there are also records of where they came from and their family background.

But there is no such thing as outstanding meritorious service.

Of course Cao Cao didn't know what kind of thoughts Liu Xie was thinking at the moment, let alone that the emperor, who had always obeyed his orders, had already launched an action after being bewitched by an eight-year-old child he despised.

And say no to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's mood at the moment is still relaxed, with a bit of joy.Five thousand gold, as long as this continues, tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand gold can be gathered.

All it takes is for the emperor to stamp his seal.

Because of this mood, a smile even flashed on Cao Cao's face.This is rare to see. Usually, Cao Cao either has a sullen face, or is expressionless, showing neither emotion nor anger.

Cao Cao rarely laughed.When he smiles, he is in a good mood.

Chapter 97 on

"As Sikong, doesn't Aiqing know the system established by Emperor Guangwu?" Just as Cao Cao smiled, Liu Xie put down the bamboo slips lightly and sneered.

Cao Cao couldn't believe that Liu Xie was talking to him like that.Before that, even if Liu Xie was too unobtrusive, it was impossible to treat him like this.

Sneer, sneer.

What an attitude.On weekdays, Cao Cao, who can enjoy Liu Xie and his pleasant appearance, suddenly tasted the taste of sarcastic remarks today, and he really couldn't turn the corner all of a sudden.

At the moment when Cao Cao was stunned, Liu Xie spoke again.He raised his head, his eyes pierced Cao Cao like a sword, and that sharp aura really exuded the arrogance of a high-ranking, ninth-five-ranked lord.

"In the system established by Emperor Guangwu, there are four ways to be a marquis. One is to be a marquis with military merits. Fourth, the royal family of the princes can be named a lord. And among these ten people, none of them have military merits, two are not descendants of meritorious officials, three are not relatives, and four are not from the clan. Dare I ask Lord Sikong, how can they be named princes?" Liu Xie said almost every word , said to Cao Cao in a frosty tone.

During this process, although Liu Xie had a cold face, it was like a popsicle.But his heart was completely refreshed. It was the first time, and it was the first time he talked to Cao Cao like this.

Although at the beginning, it was really apprehensive.But now it is completely refreshing.I've never felt so happy being a human being.

In the past, it was really bad to be a puppet.

If it is said that Liu Xie's heart is clear, then Cao Cao's heart can be said to be cloudy.

It's so gloomy that it can drip water.

What is this nonsense?yes.At the time of Emperor Guangwu, there were indeed only these four ways to become a marquis, but after the government's bosses, foreign relatives, and eunuchs came to power one after another.

The system of the Great Han Dynasty was ruined, and it reached its peak by the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.The ten permanent servants openly sell their officials and titles, and He Jin, the great general of his relatives, openly uses high-ranking officials to show off his titles to amass power.

It was during that period that the titles of Marquis of Guannei and Liehou would depreciate on a large scale.Let alone the previous generation, even now.The current day, that is, the present who keeps saying that he wants to respect the system established by Emperor Guangwu.

It is also to condone the crown prince's blatant peddling.

The emperor's son can be sold as a noble, and it is very popular.But it's not enough to come to him. What's the reason?

Can Cao Cao not be annoyed?

"Your Majesty really thinks so?" Cao Cao's face became expressionless, but his eyes were extremely sharp, much sharper than Liu Xie's.

He looked directly at Liu Xie and said coldly.

For a moment, Liu Xie felt the approach of death for a moment.Cao Cao, with an army of hundreds of thousands in his hands, once personally commanded an elite army to confront Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and other Central Plains heroes, and finally defeated these people, and only then did he gain his current status.

Although he has basically retreated from the front line, his aura has increased instead of diminished.

The killing was fierce, and it was so cold that people shivered.

But Liu Xie did not give in easily. This time, he did not act like the usual emperor who flinched after Cao Cao showed a slightly stern look.

This time, Liu Xie felt that he was the emperor, and only he should be superior.So he puffed up his chest and said to Cao Cao in a cold voice, "I dare not forget the instructions of Emperor Guangwu."

Volume 25, Section 196: Chapter 97 (2)

Cao Cao's eyes froze. He wasn't sure just now whether Liu Xie got angry and said a few words, or he was determined to confront him.

Therefore, he stabbed Liu Xie with cold eyes, hoping to find out something.Now that I understood everything, this time it was not a temporary idea, but a serious desire to confront him.

Infinite murderous intent emerged in Cao Cao's heart, and his eyes became colder.
