An astonishing bad news came that night.

The number one scholar in Yingchuan who followed Cao Cao for many years and proposed the great idea of ​​following the emperor's orders to the princes, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, the best among the world's clear streams, suddenly fell ill at home. Cao Cao sighed and deeply remembered his great achievements in sharing joys and sorrows with Xun Yu and jointly protecting the Han Dynasty over the years.

Now that the world is about to settle down, Xun Yu actually died of illness at this critical moment. It is really a pity that people sigh, and they can't believe that all this is true.

Cao Cao ordered the grand burial of Xun Yu, and appointed his posthumous title Jing, and appointed his son as General of the Hu Ben, and gave him a large amount of land to his family. With the help of his subordinates, he slowly came to Xun Yu's mansion and attended the funeral for Xun Yu as the prime minister.

Xun Yu's family cried and could not curb the grief and anger in their hearts. Zhong Yao, who was mourning for Xun Yu, also looked sad, but he was still quite gentle as a guest. Cao Cao paid the debt with the help of Zhao Yan and Du Xi, and asked Zhong Yao to mourn Xun Yu's family. The scene was generally stable.

But at this moment, a sharp and harsh voice suddenly came to his side:

"You are the thief who killed Ah Father, how dare you come to my house! Get out of here quickly!"

This sharp childish voice made everyone creepy, and Cao Cao was also surprised. He quickly saw who had such courage.

The guards beside him rushed up together and lifted a young man out of the crowd. He looked at him as Xun Yu's sixth son Xun Yi, who is only four years old this year.

Xun Yi had a elegant and cute face, like a good woman. He was not afraid of the many guards around Cao Cao at all. He kept resisting under their push and shoving, and glared at Cao Cao, like an angry little tiger.

Cao Cao stared at the boy and smiled slightly, trying his best to make his pale face look kind.

"Liulang, why are you talking nonsense and who is listening to rumors?"

Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you have to have a child with the prime minister..."

"Hey, this is the son of Xun Lingjun, not an ordinary child, but it's okay!"

Xun Yi was thrown to the ground by the guards. His little face was full of pain, but he was still not afraid and said with his head raised:

"That day, my father came home from your mansion and opened a food box. He couldn't help but cry, saying, "I have compromised all my life, and I am loyal and loyal to the pride of humility and retreat. But I have no Han fortune to eat. The Prime Minister wants me to die, and I should go!"

"I hid in the cabinet that day and wanted to do a show to scare my father. I didn't expect to see this! I saw that my father was so sad and angry that I dared not leave, but I saw that my father committed suicide by taking poison!

I didn't know why, but I only realized in the past few days that my father was forced to death by you! Why did you dare to come to my house? Get out quickly!”

Adults can control their emotions well and weigh the pros and cons. Xun Yu is gone, but his family still has to survive. However, Xun Yan is only four years old. He has only sorrow, anger and unwillingness in his heart, so he wants to reprimand the murderer who comes to his home with his passion.

But his words were shocking. Although the secret of Xun Yu's death was revealed in one fell swoop, everyone was stunned.

"Prime Minister..." Zhong Yao and Du Xi both changed their faces and quickly winked at Zhao Yan.

Cao Cao looked at the handsome and elegant boy, and was not too angry. He just reached out and slowly touched the boy's head, and said softly:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Cao Cao was still worried about his friendship back then and would not care about Yiruzi.

But unexpectedly, Cao Cao immediately ordered:

"Immediately ask the school officials to investigate this matter. I must ask clearly who instructed this child to say such a ridiculous word!"

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Cao Cao was still the same Cao Cao, and he would not miss any opportunity to expand his power.

Cao Cao would not believe Xun Yu committed suicide by taking poison, and the Xun family dared not believe it. Cao Cao could even kill Kong Rong's whole family. He could now force Xun Yu to death, and killing his whole family would not be a terrifying thing.

Zhao Yan and Du Xi both felt a sense of sadness in their hearts. They were also from Yingchuan, and they were recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu before. The Yingchuan clan, under the leadership of Xun Yu, proudly gave Cao Cao the Han prime minister.

But when Xun Yu died, he cried and sighed that he had made a mistake in his life. How should Zhao Yan and Du Xi behave as an outstanding talent recommended by Xun Yu?

So they could not believe it, and they could not stop Cao Cao from expanding the influence of the school affairs through this matter.

Cao Ren felt a little relieved when he looked at the dejected essays.

To crack down on the Yingchuan clan is to dig up the Cao family's own roots. Cao Cao also understood this, so he did not dare to turn against Xun Yu on the surface, and could only use Xun Yu's strong moral concepts and despair of the collapse of his ideals to force him to death.

If Xun Yu is as good at playing tricks as Jia Xu, Cao Cao really has no good way to deal with him.

While suppressing the Yingchuan tribe, they have to try their best to make them work hard for themselves. This is like waving a whip to urge the horse to run quickly, while trying to control the mood of the good horse to prevent it from falling off the horse directly.

This requires quite extraordinary control technology, and the school affairs commanded by Chang Diao are the key to all this.

The previous war proved that Chang Diao's ability to collect intelligence far exceeded that of Guo Jia at that time, and reached an extremely terrifying level.

Now continue to increase his authority in his hands, and in the future he will become a sharp sword in Cao's hand.

And another sword...

Cao Ren deeply regretted that he had not stayed in Chang'an City for a while, so that he could have a long talk with the amazing General Yun.

After years of war, Cao Ren could naturally feel that this young general had a bright future. If the Cao family wants to complete their own great cause, a young hero who can constantly destroy cities and villages for his own side to fight south and north.

It is also God's blessing that the Cao family has two young heroes, Yunshan Changdiao. It seems that this is God's will.

Cao Ren was immersed in his own world and nodded slowly. He suddenly glanced at something from the corner of his eyes and turned his eyes to see Sima Yi huddled in the crowd, which was quite strange.

The chief clerk of Cao Cao retracted his hand into his sleeve without any trace. Although he was still smiling on his face, Cao people clearly felt that his fists were already tightly clenched in the sleeve.

At this moment, Sima Yi's heart was in a state of uproar. He looked at Xun Yan and the Xun family who were crying, and then looked at the colleagues who were frustrated and looked at the faces of annoyance. For the first time, he became confused and suspicious about the various sage books he had read.

Cao Cao himself is a major flaw in Confucian theory. According to the logic of the induction of heaven and man, since he cannot get the will of heaven, why don’t God bring down the thunder and kill his whole family?

He is still alive and almost ascended to the supreme position. Kong Rong and Xun Yu are dead. Does this mean that God agrees with his approach very much? Or is it that as long as you have strong power, God will naturally support everything you do?

Sima Yi shook his head slowly, thinking that he had not been discovered by others, and fell into deep thought.

.

A few days later, the memorials of the ministers were officially delivered to the emperor.

Everyone said that the Prime Minister's contribution was too great and they were worried too much to restore the Han country. A marquis was no longer enough to express the Prime Minister's extraordinary achievements. I hope that the Emperor could do his best and be appointed as the Prime Minister.

Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was trapped in the palace, looked at the memorials of the ministers like snowflakes, and was both angry and funny.

These people still complacent in front of them, but they were no longer smiling. Now they are impatiently expressing their loyalty, hoping to get the praise of their new master with their performances, like ferocious evil dogs, baring their teeth at outsiders, while waving their tails at their masters and eager to get the reward from their masters.

The Han Dynasty...

How did it become like this?

If it were not Liu's kings, they would attack them all over the world.

This ancient vow has been left behind by everyone. From today on, the man may have really died...

"I am incompetent." Liu Xie carried a strong mockery, which was all he could do now. "The Prime Minister has made too much contribution, and I don't know how to reward him. Being a king... Do you think that being a king is enough?"

Liu Xie is sarcastic but no one dares to answer. If he says enough, he will be wearing shoes by the Cao family in the future. If he doesn't say enough...

Haha, being a king is not enough, what do you want to do?

.

Cao Cao did not attend court today, and he was determined to win the title of king, but he was not the emperor, so he had to do some procedures slowly.

In fact, he didn't want to be so anxious. If he could be granted a title of Duke first, he would break the rule that the ministers could only be granted a title of marquis, and then he would slowly be granted a title of king.

But now time doesn't wait for anyone, he must speed up his progress. He can do more things with his prestige and means, and his successor will have much less worries in the future.

King Wu of Zhou won the world, but Cao Cao could not do it, so he could be King Wen of Zhou.

Cao Cao's convincing letter included the names of Yunshan Changdiao and others. This was Cao Cao's signature. Anyway, these two people would not be unsupported, so this was nothing. In addition to the names that were temporarily added to these two people, there was another person's name on the convincing letter, which was particularly dazzling.

Sun Quan!

After the defeat in Hefei, Sun Quan immediately wrote a letter to Cao Cao, begging for mercy, and sweared to express his loyalty to Cao Cao, and offered a large number of tributes to ask for a good repair with Cao Cao. Later, Sun Quan also offered a letter of advice, but did not persuade Cao Cao to be king, but directly advised him to be emperor.

Sun Quan said that the virtues of the Han Dynasty were already weak and there was no one in the world who could be qualified to be the emperor. If there were, there would be only the prime minister.

He was willing to be the prime minister's most loyal minister and always take his life for the prime minister.

"This little kid is setting me on the fire and roasting me." Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan's advice leisurely and turned his attention to Sima Yi casually.

"Zhongda, do you think so?"

"Yes, not." Sima Yi said decisively, "I think that although Sun Quan is cunning, the Prime Minister is indeed qualified to be the emperor."

To be king is to rebel. Since it is better to implement it to the end, Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi’s sincere eyes and didn’t know whether he was telling the truth or the slander.

It took him a long time to shake his head slowly:

"It's a pity that Gu has never seen Tanzhi.

Call Tanzhi back, no matter what, Gu wants to see him."

After saying that, Cao Cao suddenly felt an unspeakable depression in his chest, and a large area of ​​red blood slowly flowed down the corners of his mouth.
