2432 , everyone's discoloration
Those present did not expect Sima Yi to suddenly say such a thing.
Where did Cao Cao's disaster come?
If Liu Zhe suddenly sent a million to cross the Yellow River to attack Cao Cao, then it would be a disaster.
But now Liu Zhe and Cao Cao have reconciled. As long as Liu Zhe is granted the title of king and Liu Zhe retreats to the north of the Yellow River, Cao Cao can rest assured.
For Cao Cao, Liu Zhe was the biggest difficulty, but now all the difficulties are going to be solved, so where will the disaster come?
"Prime Minister, have you forgotten the fief given to you by the emperor?" Sima Yi reminded.
Sima Yi didn't want to speak, but he found that Jiang Ji didn't speak, and the others didn't speak, so he had to speak.
Cao Cao was about to be named King of Wei. Although he refused now, everyone knew that this was a hypocritical refusal. It was a foregone conclusion that Cao Cao wanted to be King of Wei, unless Cao Cao really didn't want it.
Would Cao Cao want this King of Wei?
Of course not.
Cao Cao was granted the title of King of Wei, and his status was further improved. Then those who followed him would also increase their popularity. Once he became King of Wei, he would definitely reward his subordinates.
Sima Yi didn't want to hide his clumsy too much. What if Cao Cao felt that he was not strong enough and he didn't give him much reward? What should he do if the juniors with insufficient qualifications were ranked above him?
If Cao Cao asked He Yan and Yang Xiu to rank ahead of Sima Yi, Sima Yi might as well stop doing it.
So, Sima Yi spoke out.
Everyone here is smart. Of course, except for those generals who have weak political sense or are not smart enough, everyone here immediately reacted.
They all recalled the content of Xi Lu's reading of the imperial edict.
Cao Cao's fiefs were Hedong, Henei, Hongnong, Zuofengyi, Shangdang County, Wei County, Guangping County, Chenliu, Dong County, Taishan, and Jibei eleven counties.
The seven counties of Hedong, Henei, Hongnong, Zuo Fengyi, Shangdang County, Wei County and Guangping County were under the rule of Liu Zhe and were Liu Zhe's territory.
The faces of those who understood changed immediately.
But their faces became even worse than Cao Cao's.
The reason why Cao Cao's face became so powerful was because Cao Cao remembered the altered parts of the imperial edict.
Ten counties were crossed out, which was so angering.
Cao Cao was angry first, and then he thought about Sima Yi's words.
He was scared after thinking about this.
What would Liu Zhe think about the seven counties?
"hateful!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and he was both angry and scared.
What I hate is that I hate Emperor Liu Xie, but I actually do this. What I am afraid of is what if Liu Zhe misunderstood? Will he launch an attack again in anger?
"Who directed him behind his back?"
Cao Cao's tone was full of hatred, and he didn't believe that Liu Xie could think of such a solution.
But Cao Cao's question is destined to be no one can answer. Liu Xie didn't know that the people who went to find Wang Yun and Cao Cao were, so he didn't know that Wang Yun was giving Liu Xie the advice behind the scenes.
"What should I do?"
Cao Cao also knew that no one could answer his question, so he quickly jumped over and asked the next question.
"Is it possible that I really refuse?" Cao Cao's tone was full of reluctance.
This is a king, but I refuse now. What about the next time? He was going to be a king because he took Liu Zhe's ride-hailing ride. I missed this time. I don't know if there will be another time.
Jiang Ji was the first to speak out, "Of course it's impossible."
Cao Cao didn't want to, nor did his subordinates.
Cao Cao's current subordinates are connected to Cao Cao's fate. If Cao Cao is good, they will be fine. Cao Cao is unlucky, and they will be unlucky too.
If Emperor Liu Xie was in power, none of Cao Cao's confidants could be spared.
Cao Cao was named king, which was naturally the best thing for Cao Cao's subordinates.
Even if Cao Cao wanted to refuse, his subordinates were the first to disagree.
"Prime Minister, it's better to let the emperor change the imperial edict." He Yan said.
The emperor is a puppet in Cao Cao's hands, and Cao Cao was generous enough to let him change the content of the imperial edict. This kind of thing has been done before.
"No!" Jiang Ji immediately spoke out against it.
"Why not?" He Yan was dissatisfied. This was his solution.
"It's true." Cao Cao also disagreed with asking Liu Xie to change the imperial edict.
"If the Prime Minister asks the emperor to change the imperial edict, people in the world will think that the Prime Minister is afraid of Liu Zhe, which will greatly affect the Prime Minister's reputation." Jiang Ji explained.
If Cao Cao asked Liu Xie to change the imperial edict and change Cao Cao's fiefdom to other places because of this, then even if Cao Cao was crowned as king, he would still be a king who could not raise his head and had no reputation.
"What should I do?" He Yan couldn't help asking.
Then his eyes turned to Sima Yi, and he said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, since Zhongda took the initiative to speak out, he must have a solution."
He Yan was digging a hole for Sima Yi, hoping that Sima Yi would fall in and not jump out.
Sima Yi looked at He Yan speechlessly. He didn't remember that he had offended this guy, and he actually made this guy hate him.
