Chapter 629: The Curse of Emperor Xian (4000)(1/2)
so……
"That's why I absolutely dare not live up to His Majesty's expectations. I will definitely write it straightly. When the history is written one day, I will also refer to it to His Majesty and the generals who are kind to me. Your Majesty is Lian Yuan.
You are a proud man of heaven, and the general is an important official of the country who is impartial and upright. Only when the history book compiled by the junior minister has the approval of your majesty and the general, can I dare to ensure that it is written straightly and can it be made public."
Wu Liang immediately raised his hands in a very upright manner.
"I...cough! Cough! Cough!"
Hearing these words, Emperor Xian suddenly felt as if he had been choked by something. His body stiffened and he coughed while holding his chest.
How shameless!
Extremely despicable!
What a bastard!
Even the most cunning fox in the world is not so cunning and smooth, and his words are so flawless!
Not only did he kick back the gift proposition, but he also took pictures of Emperor Xian and Boss Cao's horses together, raising the two of them up high. Even Emperor Xian didn't know how to scold him now, otherwise it would be
If you don't admit that you are an honest and upright emperor, you don't believe that Boss Cao is an upright and upright minister of the country, and you don't supervise his qualifications and character of "upright writing".
Bah!
Such a person still aspires to write history books?
I spit in your face!
If Sima Zi Changquan had any knowledge, and was regarded as a role model by such a shameless and smooth person, and even wanted to imitate him in writing history books, I am afraid that Sima Zi Chang's coffin board would no longer be able to cover it!
It's not just him.
Those senior embassy officials who have fought successively to defend the tradition and dignity of historians will probably all jump out of the graveyard, just to kick this ignorant thing out of the historian circle, so as not to be stained by such a piece of rat shit.
It won their reputation among historians and officials.
"Well said!"
Boss Cao suddenly applauded and said loudly, "Wu Taishi's ability to say these words puts him on par with Sima Zichang. Someone who is so upright and not afraid of supervision will definitely be able to write straightly.
I am sure that the history books written by Wu Taishi will be remembered for centuries and become classics that future generations will be eager to read!"
Boss Cao is a smart man.
Now that he is also a subject of Emperor Xian, Wu Liang must put Emperor Xian in front of him so as not to mess up the etiquette and avoid following the truth. Therefore, this detail will not cause boss Cao's dissatisfaction, but it will make him feel that Wu Liang is really
Very talkative.
Since Wu Liang specifically mentioned him and asked him to "supervise" together with Emperor Xian.
This is tantamount to being completely biased towards him.
This is the loyalty that Boss Cao wants most. He really appreciates Wu Liang more and more now.
"The general is so complimentary. I just did my duty as a historian. There is really nothing worthy of the general's praise."
Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and said submissively.
He also knew in his heart that for this reason, no matter how nice he said it, it was equivalent to drawing a clear line between him and Emperor Xian, and it was impossible to play both sides between Emperor Xian and Boss Cao.
But this is the best choice made by someone who already knows the history.
History has already given the answer. Emperor Xian could not defeat Boss Cao, and those who relied on Emperor Xian could not defeat Boss Cao even more. Not only could they not defeat Boss Cao, but those people did not end well in the end.
And Xun Yu, who provided great help to Boss Cao at this moment.
It is because we do not understand this truth that we end up in a depressed and uncaring ending.
Wu Liang didn't want to cause trouble, he just wanted to do archeology in peace.
Therefore, he must "unswervingly" stand on Boss Cao's side.
Because there is only Boss Cao, even if Wu Liang is indifferent, even if Wu Liang is running around outside for eleven months of the year, Boss Cao will step on the road to dominance step by step. Everything is so logical and there is no need at all.
Wu Liang was distracted by thinking about settling down and settling down.
In this matter, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Emperor Xian could not make him so relaxed.
"..."
Others had completely different feelings when they saw Wu Liang singing along with Boss Cao.
Needless to say, Cao Ang and Xi Zhicai also secretly scolded Wu Liang for being shameless, but they also liked him very much, and even had some admiration for him. After all, there was someone as despicable and shameless as Wu Liang but also extremely smart.
It's rare to find such wonderful people, at least they can't do it themselves.
"Oh……"
On the contrary, Lu Bu looked down upon Wu Liang more and more.
What the heck, isn't it just having a eloquent mouth? Besides flattering others, and sometimes having better luck, what else can you do?
Cao Ah Man also couldn't open his eyes, that he could think so highly of such a worthless and shameless person.
If on the battlefield, if this person stands in the enemy's formation, I can kill him in one breath, and he may not even have a chance to call for help!
but.
Emperor Xian has already consecrated them, and now it’s time to confer it on me. I just don’t know what official position Emperor Xian gave me, and whether it is higher or lower than Cao Aman?
I think that when I stabbed Dong Zhuo to death, I helped Emperor Xian a lot. I also assisted Emperor Xian with Wang Yun. At that time, I was already General Fenwei. When I entered Feng Wenhou, the ceremonial arrangements I used during holidays and trips were comparable to those of the Three Gongs. Now
I come to King Qin again. It would be inappropriate if Emperor Xian demoted me, right?
However, if Emperor Xian granted me an official position higher than that of Cao Mengde, or equal to that of Cao Mengde, I am afraid it would not be appropriate.
It's not that Xiandi is inappropriate.
But I am not suitable. After all, I now worship Cao Mengde as my adoptive father. If my official position is equal to that of Cao Mengde, or higher than him, I will be superior to Cao Mengde, and I am afraid it will arouse his dissatisfaction and suspicion.
But then again.
If Emperor Xian really offers me a high-ranking official and a generous salary, how can I refuse? Do I feel sorry for myself just because of Cao Mengde?
What's more, Cao Mengde always prefers the one named Wu. Even if it comes true, everything Cao Mengde owns will eventually be left to Cao Ang. What does it have to do with me, the adopted son who came halfway?
Besides, it was just a temporary measure for me to ask him to be my adoptive father...
Just when Lu Bu was thinking this.
"Since Wu Taishi is so determined, I feel at ease. I just hope that Wu Taishi will not forget the persistence of those historians and ancestors, so as not to become a sinner if the history fails."
Emperor Xian had also calmed down, and after saying something strangely, he finally turned his attention to Lu Bu, "General Lu had previously killed Dong Zhuo, a rebellious minister, and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and he had also loyally assisted him.
As for me, now that I have traveled thousands of miles to come to visit King Qin, I can learn from my loyalty."
"Your Majesty is serious."
Lu Bu also came to his senses, and quickly raised his hands and said, "Now that the rebellious ministers and traitors are causing trouble in the world, all righteous men should rise up to serve His Majesty and plead for the orders of the people of the world. The general just did his duty, so what?
It is worthy of His Majesty’s evaluation.”
"General Lu's righteousness cannot be overestimated."
Emperor Xian smiled, and then said, "But you were already General Fenwei before, and you were promoted to Marquis Wen, and were honored by the Three Ministers, and now you come to the King of Qin in person. I don't know how to reward you for your contribution."
...If not, I will make you Sikong, and then give you the talisman letter, and let you control the affairs of the officials, how about it?"
"?"
After hearing this, Boss Cao's expression changed slightly.
Emperor Xian failed to win over Wu Liang, so he started to win over Lu Bu again!
Just now, Boss Cao was granted the title of "General". The power of this general is equivalent to that of the "Taiwei" among the "Three Lords", and he is in charge of the world's troops.
However, the actual situation is that the power of the "general" is higher than that of the "chief lieutenant".
Because although the "Taiwei" was the chief officer in charge of the army, this official position posed a great threat to the imperial power. Therefore, by the Eastern Han Dynasty, it had gradually become a false position and had no real military power in his hands, while the "General" had actual military power.
of military power.
Boss Cao knows this better than anyone else. After all, his dead father Cao Song once worshiped the "Taiwei" during the Han Ling Emperor period. Although he made a lot of money during his tenure, he did not become a truly entrenched leader.
The heroes on one side even lacked the troops to protect themselves.
But now Emperor Xian wanted to confer the title of "Sikong" to Lu Bu, who was also one of the "Three Dukes".
"Sikong" can be regarded as the chief executive of the highest administrative agency. Externally, he can supervise and investigate the state pastors, governors, prefects, and county magistrates. Internally, he can impeach any official of the court, including Boss Cao, the "general."
Originally, this "Sikong" should be inferior to the "General".
But Emperor Xian wanted to give the letter of talisman to Lu Bu. This was what the Han Dynasty often called a "false festival". This was equivalent to Emperor Xian giving Lu Bu a Shangfang sword, which could act directly on behalf of Emperor Xian at any time, and could kill four people.
If you look at officials, you can kill those who violate military orders. You can kill anyone who has no official position. There is no need to kill them first and then report them.
This makes Lu Bu's power and status completely different.
Even though this was the case, Lu Bu still couldn't do anything to Boss Cao, a "great general". However, when Boss Cao met Lu Bu in the future, he had to go to the emperor first. Therefore, in terms of etiquette, Boss Cao was inferior to Lu Bu.
"This Emperor Xian is really capable of causing trouble..."
Wu Liang thought secretly.
To be continued...
