Can I get to the other side?

Under Yuan Shao's deliberate promotion, the news that the emperor was coming to Jizhou soon spread to all parts of the world with Yecheng as the center.

At the same time, the manifesto written by Tian Feng and Chen Lin was also spread out.

"... The traitor Cao Cao, the descendant of a eunuch, claimed to be a loyal and good minister. The truth is that he is not. He conquered Luoyang, welcomed the emperor to move the capital, and established the capital in Xu County. He claimed to support the Han Dynasty, but he actually had the heart of Dong Zhuo, and wanted to hold the emperor hostage to command the princes and usurp the foundation of the Han Dynasty!"

"The wolf's ambition is to hide the evil plot, insult the royal family, break the law and order, hold the emperor hostage, and dictate the government. The title and reward are at will, and the punishment and killing are at will. Those who love are honored by the five clans, and those who hate are exterminated by the three clans. Those who talk about it are publicly executed, and those who secretly discuss it are secretly killed. All the officials are silenced, and the roads are watched. The ministers and secretaries are in the court, and the officials are just officials."

"Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, has three dukes in four generations, and he has been greatly Han Guo En, always cherish the heart of repaying the country, heard that the emperor was in trouble, day and night worried sigh, sleepless and restless. "

"Fortunately, with the blessing of God, the emperor was able to escape, and finally arrived in Jizhou. Now with the help of good ministers, there is hope to restore the Han Dynasty. I want to make Yecheng the capital, revitalize the government, and stabilize the country..."

"... I have heard that wise rulers plan for danger to control changes, and loyal ministers worry that it is difficult to establish power."

"I hope that the ambitious people in the world and the ministers of the Han Dynasty will quickly go to Yecheng to meet the emperor and help the country, so that extraordinary achievements can be made. "

"Now announce to the world, let everyone know that the holy dynasty is in trouble. As ordered!"

The content of this proclamation is roughly divided into three points.

The first point is that Cao Cao is a traitor, and the purpose of welcoming the emperor is to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, just like Dong Zhuo.

Second, the emperor has escaped from Cao Cao and is now in Yecheng, where he is protected by my master Yuan Shao. He is very safe and plans to rebuild the court to stabilize the country.

Third, all the ambitious people in the world, as well as the old ministers of the Han Dynasty, please come to Yecheng to meet the emperor and discuss the thief's affairs.

This news spread everywhere like a proclamation.

For a while, the world was shocked.

You know, not long ago, Cao Cao announced that the emperor would establish his capital in Xu County and summoned the Han officials to meet him. How come the emperor ran to Jizhou now?

And how did Cao Cao suddenly change from a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty to a traitor like the traitor Dong Zhuo?

Everyone was confused by this sudden news.

…

Yingchuan County, Xu County.

Today, Cao's mansion was bustling, just because the emperor established his capital in Xu County. In order to celebrate, Cao Cao held a banquet and invited civil officials and military generals to pay homage to the emperor.

In the hall, the young emperor sat at the head.

But the protagonist in the hall today was not him, but a short man sitting below him on his left.

The man was dressed in a brocade robe, short and plain-looking, but he had a heroic aura when he raised his hands and feet.

He was Cao Cao.

As soon as Cao Cao raised his hand, the originally noisy hall became quiet. Then he stood up with a wine glass and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, now that the emperor has come to Xu County and established the capital here, our Han Dynasty can be safe!"

"This cup of wine, please follow me to toast His Majesty!"

Cao Cao held the wine glass, turned to face the emperor, bowed, and drank the wine in the cup.

"Cheers to His Majesty!"

The ministers in the hall also stood up and said.

Seeing this scene, the emperor sitting in the first seat couldn't help but be moved, and said with tears in his eyes: "It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty to meet Meng De!"

"This cup of wine, I toast Meng De, and also to all the loyal ministers!"

"You are all the backbone of our Han Dynasty!"

(In order to distinguish, the legitimate emperor will be called the emperor in the future.)

After the emperor finished speaking, he also drank the wine in one gulp.

After running around for so long, he suffered humiliation from Dong Zhuo and could only compromise. After coming to Cao Cao, he finally got the dignity that the emperor should have.

This feeling of being respected really made him feel mixed.

"Your Majesty, you are too serious. Supporting the Han Dynasty is what we ministers should do. It is me who should feel ashamed that I failed to rescue Your Majesty earlier and let Your Majesty suffer so much humiliation."

Cao Cao said seriously, his face full of self-blame.

The emperor was even more moved by what he said. He walked down and took Cao Cao's hand, tears in his eyes, and said: "Meng De's heart is enough. Unfortunately, my Han Dynasty is declining now, and I have nothing. Otherwise, I would definitely reward Meng De heavily."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? What do I want?"

Cao Cao said righteously.

"No, I must reward!"

But the emperor still insisted. After thinking for a while, he said: "Although I have no treasures to reward Meng De now, I can still confer an official title on Meng De."

"I will issue an order to confer Meng De the title of Sikong and the military commander of the chariot and cavalry. All officials will obey."

The official title conferred by the emperor is not small.

In the official system of the Han Dynasty, Si Tu was responsible for handling government affairs, Taiwei was in charge of military affairs, and Sikong was responsible for supervising all officials. These three positions are the three officials among the three officials and nine ministers, which are often said to be extremely noble.

As for the General of Chariots and Cavalry, it is second only to the General and the General of Cavalry, and is higher than the Shangqing or the Three Dukes, and is a more powerful position!

Although the emperor has no power now, and the reward given is just a title, it is still an honor that ordinary people can hardly get.

You know, this is an official position conferred by the emperor himself!

It means that from now on, Cao Cao is officially one of the Three Dukes, and can legitimately control the country's military and political power!

"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

Cao Cao's eyes flickered slightly. Of course, he would not refuse such a reward, and he immediately knelt down to thank him.

"Meng De, please stand up quickly."

The emperor reached out to help Cao Cao up, and then looked at the ministers in the hall and asked: "You loyal ministers must not forget that I will reward you all today."

The emperor knew that this was the only thing he could do now.

That is to confer official positions on everyone in the name of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is not urgent. After I go back, I will draw up a list based on the merits of the ministers, and then Your Majesty will reward them."

Cao Cao smiled lightly and rejected the emperor's proposal.

He can decide who to reward, but the emperor cannot decide, otherwise it will change the taste.

The power of reward and punishment cannot be controlled by others.

"Okay, let's follow Meng De's opinion."

The emperor sat down angrily, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

And at this moment, someone in the hall suddenly snorted.

"Your Majesty rewards the ministers, this is the emperor's grace, why do you have to decide who to reward?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at the place where the voice came from.

Cao Cao took a look and smiled faintly: "I thought it was someone, it turned out to be Yang Gong."

The person who spoke was Yang Biao.

This person was born in the Hongnong Yang family. He served as the Minister of Works, the Minister of Works, and the Grand Marshal. He has always been by the side of the emperor and is a loyal royalist.

Yang Biao sneered: "Why, here in Cao Yanzhou, you can't even speak?"

Although he is over fifty years old, his words are still full of energy, sonorous and powerful, echoing in the hall.
