Sima Yi understood Cao Cao's thoughts thoroughly.

When Liu Bei became king, half of Cao Cao's anger came from jealousy.

Although Cao Cao's family background is not as good as that of Yuan Shao, I have been a prince for generations. I have been a great Han Taiwei.

I, Cao Cao, am Sikong of the Han Dynasty, in charge of the power of the imperial court, and the uncrowned emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Where are you Liu Bei?

It's nothing more than the grass roots of a woven mat and shoes.

Now that you have become a leader, you are no different from me in military and military territory, but you have actually become the king and overshadowed me in terms of rank and title!

Can I not be jealous!

Sima Yi figured out what Cao Cao was thinking, so he stood up decisively and was the first to persuade Cao Cao to become king.

In this way, Cao Cao's official titles will at least not be overshadowed by Liu Bei's, and they will be on an equal footing. really.

As soon as these words of encouragement came out, Cao Cao's figure was shaken, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

A pot exploded in the palace

"What Zhongda said makes sense!"

"Mengde, you have contributed to the great Han Dynasty. If it were Mengde, the Han Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago!"

"That big-eared thief can be the king, why can't you?"

As the leader of the generals who are brothers and ministers, Xiahou Dun was suddenly awakened and was the first to jump out to join Sima Yi.

Cao Ren followed closely and also urged Cao Cao to become king.

"Sikong had the merit of supporting the Han Dynasty and was the pillar of the Han Dynasty!"

"Sikong ascends to the throne as king, obeying the destiny of heaven and obeying the people's will!"

"Jia invites Sikong to take over as king!"

As his most trusted advisor, Guo Jia's original intention of assisting Cao Cao was naturally not to help the Han Dynasty, but to assist Cao Cao in establishing hegemony.

Now that Cao Cao has revealed his intention to become king, Guo Jia naturally fully supports it.

Tian Feng, Cheng Yu and other counselors, as well as Liu Ye and other members of the Liu clan, followed closely and urged Cao Cao to become king.

However, Xun Yu was the only one who frowned deeply and remained silent.

He neither spoke out nor objected. He didn't stand up to persuade him to come in.

Not persuading him to come in was actually a kind of silent opposition.

Seeing Xun Yu's attitude, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown secretly, and there was a bit of displeasure in his eyes.

"I, Cao Cao, do have some merits, but after all, I have a foreign surname."

"Emperor Gao has a legacy and says that if he is not the Liu family, he is the king, and the whole world will attack him together!"

"You persuade me to become king because you want to put me on the stove!"

Cao Cao waved his hands and sighed, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Sima Yi seemed to have expected that Cao Cao would have such concerns, and had already prepared a response, and immediately spoke again:

"Emperor Gao's legacy was already four hundred years ago."

"At that time, it was because kings with different surnames such as Han Xin, Ying Bu, etc. were spread all over the country. They all had their own agendas and were in danger of threatening the imperial power of the Han Dynasty."

"Therefore, Emperor Gao left this legacy after he had cut off all the queens with different surnames."

"But later, the kings with different surnames were cut off, but the Liu Zong kings were ambitious, and finally they rebelled, leading to the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms."

"Facts have proved that a king with a different surname may not be disloyal to the Han Dynasty, and a king with a surname of Liu may not be loyal to the Han Dynasty."

"It is said that the ancestors are not worthy of the law, and the instructions of the great ancestor do not necessarily have to be followed."

"Yi believes that as long as it is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, we cannot stick to ancient laws"

"And Sikong Gong is in Sheji. Only by becoming king can he show the emperor's favor to Sikong and inspire the soldiers of the three armies. Under the command of Sikong, they can defeat Liu Bei's rebels and unify our country."

"Therefore, Sikong's ascension to the throne would be of great benefit to the Han Dynasty and not a single harm to the Han Dynasty. The Emperor Gaozu would definitely agree if he had a spirit in heaven."

Sima Yi was eloquent and laid out a big ladder for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stroked his short beard, looked at the young counselor in front of him, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel the feeling of being a confidant in his heart.

Xiahou Dun and others also They secretly praised Sima Yi for what he said, and there was a burst of agreement, and they all urged him to come in again.

"If Sikong refuses to take the throne as king and ignores all the people in the world, Si will kneel here!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was still holding his hand, Sima Yi simply gritted his teeth and unleashed his big move, then knelt down directly.

Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia and other advisers and generals all bowed down and knelt down. Only Xun Yu was left in the palace.

He was still standing, obviously quite embarrassed.

After hesitating for a long time, Xun Yu reluctantly knelt down on one knee.

This meant that this great Han minister, the leader of the Yingchuan gentry and the head of his subordinate officials, He also acquiesced to everyone's persuasion.

Cao Cao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and finally a bit of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Then he sighed:

"I also understand what you said"

"For the sake of all the people in the world, and for the sake of our country, I, Cao Cao, cannot refuse your invitation."

"But without the emperor's clear edict, how could I, Cao Cao, dare to overstep his bounds?"

Everyone looked at each other and immediately heard Cao Cao's implication.

Cao Cao agreed to their persuasion. It's just that Liu Bei is the king. No matter how you slander him, he always has the emperor's decree. (Watch the violence.) For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If Cao Cao became king without the emperor’s edict, wouldn’t he have become someone like Yuan Shu because of his unjust words?

"I will go to the Emperor soon and ask him to issue an edict to make Sikong king!"

Sima Yi said on behalf of everyone.

A meaningful smile quietly passed over the corner of Cao Cao's mouth.

So in the next few days, a vigorous watch movement began.

In the Xudu court.

Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Sima Yi and other civil servants The military generals petitioned Liu Xie one after another, asking him to issue an edict to make Cao Cao king.

After the governors and governors in other states learned about the news, they all petitioned Xu Du.

At once,

Yanzhou, Sizhou, and Jizhou , Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou, the six states controlled by Cao Cao, the petitions to persuade them to advance flew to Xudu like snow flakes and were delivered to Liu Xie's desk.

Of course Liu Xie knew that these petitions were authorized by Cao Cao.

This is also This means that two hundred years after Wang Mang, there was another powerful official with a foreign surname who wanted to violate the instructions of the great ancestor and force him, the emperor, to make him king.

Liu Xie understood better that becoming king was only the first step.

Cao Cao's next step , just to force him to abdicate, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and change the dynasty! []

Cao Cao's ambitions have been completely exposed. Knowing Cao Cao's intentions, Liu Xie had no choice but to issue the imperial edict against his will. At the end of the autumn of that year, one month after Liu Bei ascended the throne as queen,

Cao Cao built a high platform in the south of Ye City, worshiped heaven and earth, and followed the emperor's edict to ascend the throne as king of Wei.

He established his eldest son Cao Ang as the prince, and the eldest lady Ding as the queen.

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren , Dian Wei, Le Jin, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Wen Chou and other generals were all promoted and given titles.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Dong Zhao and other advisers and civil servants were also awarded the title. Official title of Wei State.

Only Xun Yu was not awarded an official title of Wei State. It was still the original Han Shangshu Ling.

The news that Cao Cao became king quickly spread to all states in the world, and also to Xiapi

The capital of Yan State is Xiapi.

In the main hall of the palace.

Liu Bei, who is sitting on the throne, has obtained the information from Yecheng.

"Emperor Gaozu has left a teaching that if he is not the Liu family, he is the king, and the whole world will fight against it!"

"Cao Cao actually dared to claim the throne. It seemed that he was determined to become the second Wang Mang, and his ambition to usurp the Han Dynasty was clearly revealed!"

Liu Bei showed the information to the ministers, his face was stern and solemn.

There was an uproar and indignation in the hall.

"The king is the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he ascended the throne as king according to the emperor's imperial edict."

"Who is that thief Cao, who dares to force the emperor to make him king and be equal to the king?"

"If he doesn't kill Cao Cao, he will depose the Emperor and directly proclaim himself emperor!"

Zhang Fei scolded him harshly, raised his hands and said angrily:

"Your Majesty, please order us to attack Cao Cao immediately with all our strength!"

"My brother is willing to be the vanguard, fight all the way to Yecheng, and behead the Cao thief!"

Zhang Fei angrily asked for battle.

The generals' blood was aroused, and they all called for battle.

Liu Bei's fighting spirit was also ignited, and his eyes burned with flames, and he wanted to attack Cao Cao.

"Ziyu, this king wants to mobilize all the troops from the six states to attack Cao Cao's thieves, unify the world, and rejuvenate our great Han Dynasty. What do you think?"

Liu Bei still suppressed his impulse and looked at Deng Mu.

Although he had become king, he was not complacent, arrogant and arrogant, and always obeyed Deng Mu.

Deng Mu slowly left work, with a calm expression. A hand in hand:

"With half of the country in his hands, it is not surprising that Cao Cao has the desire to usurp the throne. Becoming king is only the first step towards usurping the throne."

"The king wants to defeat Cao Cao's traitors and unify the world. Of course he must do it."

"However, I believe that Cao Cao is more eager to destroy the king than the king is to destroy him."

"I expected that the traitor Cao would strike first and attack me first with all his troops."

"Then we will wait for work, first use defensive counterattack to defeat Cao's army of thieves, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, recapture Xudu in one fell swoop, and capture Yanzhou"

"We must completely drive out the forces of the Cao thieves south of the Yellow River!".
