Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

After the edict naming Cao Cao as Wei Gong and Cao Ang as the crown prince of Wei Gong was read out, Xu Du's court fell into silence for a moment.

Although many people present knew the unofficial news in advance, after hearing it with their own ears, they still had different expressions and moods!

Those officials who had long thought that their destiny had changed and were leaning towards the Cao family were naturally happy.

As Cao Cao ascended to the throne of Duke Wei, he could establish his own principality alone and set up hundreds of officials in the principality, which was equivalent to directly bypassing the Han Dynasty court and setting up his own real small court...

And with the small court of Wei Duke, the distance From the Duke of Wei to the King of Wei, and then from the King of Wei to the Emperor of Wei, is it still far away?

At that time, some officials who are close to Cao Cao on weekdays will also be able to gain some merits from following the dragon.

As for those who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty, they were sighing secretly, helpless, unhappy, and complicated in their hearts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Cao called Wei Gongguo Wei Gongguo, which was already a test and change of the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty!

After Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, defeated all the kings with different surnames, he made an oath: No one with a non-Liu surname can be king, and the whole world will attack them together!

Later, a parallel system of prefectures and states was established, and the clan surnamed Liu was enfeoffed as king.

In other words, except for the princes and princes surnamed Liu, outsiders were not eligible to have a feudal state in the Han Dynasty.

This is to ensure that the power of the world can be in the hands of descendants surnamed Liu.

Even if the emperor is not good enough, the local king who has a feudal state and an army can still have the strength to serve the king or reorganize the Han Dynasty.

Even if the meat is rotten, it will rot in the pot of the old Liu family...

Those who are not surnamed Liu, even if they have made great contributions, the title is no more than a marquis, and the highest is only a county marquis!

And most of them were remote leaders, which meant that they could only receive taxes from the food towns they were granted, but could not directly rule the food towns.

It is precisely because of this system that when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty more than 200 years ago, many descendants of the Liu surname in the world rose up in arms and resisted.

In the end, Liu Xiu of the old Liu family defeated Liu Xuan, the Gengshi Emperor, and reorganized the Han Dynasty.

However, today, the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty has been changed.

The great Han Dynasty had never established a duke, and Duke Wei appeared!

He is superior to the marquis and enjoys the power to establish a feudal state and appoint hundreds of officials.

Moreover, Wei County, the core of Jizhou, was established as a feudal state, and it had actually obtained the power of the Liu family vassal, but instead of being crowned king, it was crowned Duke...

It can be said that this step was Cao Cao's temptation and challenge to the world. Declare!

This directly caused the little remaining authority of the Han Dynasty to disappear!

Although since Dong Zhuo stirred up chaos in the capital, the powerful princes in the world have separated themselves and established themselves, in fact, they have betrayed the Han Dynasty.

But before that, no one except Yuan Shu had made it clear.

Those who are still loyal to the Han Dynasty still have some hopes and expectations in their hearts. If the Han Dynasty has a chance to revive, those princes who have not completely broken their hearts may be able to return to the imperial court.

However, as most of the princes in the world were successively wiped out by the Cao family and his son, and now Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Wei.

The hopes in the hearts of those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty were also shattered...

They knew what this meant.

This means that from now on, the Cao family has the legal authority to regard themselves as princes and kings of a country...

However, although those loyal officials of the Han Dynasty felt angry, helpless and even sad about this, most of them dared not speak out.

After all, this Xudu court, which was called the Han Dynasty, was actually controlled by Cao Cao.

What's more, the most important military power is in the hands of the Cao family and his son.

Even when Cao Ang went on an expedition, people all over the world called the troops commanded by General Cao Ang Cao Army, not the Han Army...

Many of the officials of the Han Dynasty in the court had experienced Dong Zhuo's rebellion and The rebellion of Li Jue and Guo Si.

I also saw with my own eyes how fellow officials and officials who disobeyed Dong Zhuo and others were killed.

In other words, almost all those who were absolutely loyal and upright were killed or pissed to death during the rebellion of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue.

Most of those who are able to survive to this day are able to endure and assess the situation.

Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied with Cao Cao's accession to Duke Wei in their hearts, no one dared to show it on their faces.

Of course, there is another reason. From a certain perspective, Cao Cao's ascension to the throne of Wei Gong is justifiable.

Because of the Yuan clan's separatist rule in Hebei, Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son, was able to regain the four states!

Cao Ang is already a general and the Marquis of Lanling, which is the highest rank in the Han Dynasty.

If we were to reward based on merit, it seemed that there was nothing else that could be rewarded other than being named a public official.

It's just that both Cao Cao and Cao Ang, father and son, were in the court, and the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so the son's title could not be higher than that of his father.

That's why the title of Duke that should have been given to Cao Ang fell to Cao Cao, and as Cao Ang was the eldest son of Duke Wei, he would be the future Duke of Wei...

Even some people who wanted to object could not find a suitable reason to object, so There was silence among these people.

At this time, those officials who were loyal to Cao and his son had already begun to salute Cao Cao and Cao Ang, preparing to pay homage to Duke Wei.

"Wait!"

A sudden voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, a figure stood up.

It was Kong Rong, the future great craftsman. Although the future great craftsman sounded like a craftsman, But in fact, he was the Shaofu of the Qin Dynasty and one of the Nine Qings. 510 Kong Rong had a reputation of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Seeing Kong Rong stand up at this moment, everyone in the court had different thoughts and views.

Those who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, Seeing Kong Rong come forward, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they did not dare to stand up to refute Cao Cao's act of enfeoffing the Duke, someone stood up, and at least they could maintain the dignity of the court.

Not to mention that Kong Rong was known in the world. Reputation, and being a direct descendant of Confucius, is also a heavyweight in terms of reputation alone.

On the throne, the young emperor Liu Xie was surprised and happy when he saw Kong Rong standing up.

He was just a puppet. , naming Cao Cao the Duke of Wei was not what he really wanted.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, if he had a choice, how could Liu Xie violate the ancestral system? He just relied on others and had no choice. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu novels Net!)

And Kong Rong's standing up at this moment gave Liu Xie hope.

If all the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty like Kong Rong stood up and spoke out, Cao Cao might be afraid and return the position of Duke of Wei...

But Cao Cao and Cao Ang Beside him, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other close friends of the Cao family looked at Kong Rong with cold eyes.

Their lord and son were granted the title and could establish the Duke of Wei. They, the ministers of the Cao family, , will also raise the tide for all boats.

Kong Rong stood up now, clearly wanting to ruin the situation. How could Guo Jiachengyu and the others not be angry?
