Bai Xiaowen was only ten days old, so he calmed down Xiliang and captured Ma Chao alive!
When the news came back to yedU, all the officials of Da Sima mansion were happy. The officials in the court were in awe.
Dong zhaothen proposed to seal the reward. In the above table, please seal Bai Xiaowen as the "Duke of Yan" and grant many privileges.
This is no coincidence.
In the romance, Dong Zhao first proposed to seal Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei and add "Jiuxi" to show merit and morality and show his different identity from other ministers. Now it''s enough to mention the Duke without adding nine tin.
Except for a few people who bowed their heads and said nothing, most of the ministers agreed.
It should be noted that these court officials were kidnapped by Bai Xiaowen from Xudu. Relatively speaking, they are soft hearted.
Those who were hard and unwilling to move the capital were killed by the emperor as Cao Cao''s followers.
At the beginning, Bai Xiaowen did not order himself, but asked the emperor Liu Xie to order the killing of ministers. Now he has achieved results, further reducing the courtiers'' loyalty to the emperor - although the original loyalty is not high.
Only one official opposed the matter and took action.
No one else, it was guangluqing and Shangshu Ling Xun Yu.
However, Xun Yu did not put forward his opinions in the court, but wrote to Bai Xiaowen to advise him not to do so.
On his way to the class, Bai Xiaowen received a letter from Xun Yu. After reading, he passed it on to several teammates of the Baihuang team to watch and meditate.
"In his romance, Xun Yu once dissuaded Cao Cao from becoming the Duke of Wei. It''s reasonable for him to dissuade you from becoming the Duke of Yan." Qiao Rui said.
Li Shuyi said, "when I read the romance, I thought Xun Yu was very strange. You said he was loyal to the emperor, but when the emperor recognized Liu Bei as his uncle, he made a small report to Cao Cao and advised Cao Cao to be on guard; but if you say he was loyal to Cao Cao, he stopped Cao from self styled. It''s a very contradictory person."
Bai Xiaowen said, "it''s not surprising that Xun Yu is not loyal to the emperor or Cao Cao. He is just an idealist. His ideal is that Cao Cao be Yi Yin and Duke of Zhou! As an official of Cao Cao, he can also go down in history. When reality conflicts with ideal, he won''t compromise, so it leads to tragedy in romance."
"In the romance, Cao Cao gave Xun Yu an empty food box, so Xun Yu poisoned himself. What are you going to do?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "Cao Cao is suspicious and thinks that if Xun Yu doesn''t help himself, he will help the Han Dynasty. Xun Yu, I don''t want to kill him, but I can''t give in to his will. I''ve checked that claiming emperor has made a great contribution to unification, and I can''t give up. To claim emperor, conferring Duke and king is a necessary foreplay."
Bai Xiaowen''s approach to Xun Yu''s letter was cold treatment, which made a "drag" formula and ignored it; In addition, he sent messengers to yedU to reward Dong Zhao and Bai Bi.
Dong Zhao understood Bai Xiaowen''s true meaning and naturally contacted the officials to urge the emperor.
When Bai Xiaowen returned to yedU, the emperor led all officials out of Yecheng to meet him.
The imperial edict granted Bai Xiaowen the title of Duke of the state of Yan. When he entered the court, he did not follow the trend, praised and worshipped his name, and took his sword and shoes to the temple.
The title is "Yan" because Bai Xiaowen started from the place of Youyan; The latter three privileges also have their own versions.
In ancient times, ministers made a pilgrimage to the emperor. In order to show their respect, they had to bow their heads and take small steps to enter the dynasty. This was the "trend"; "Entering the DPRK does not tend", that is, you don''t need to take a quick step and you can swagger up the hall.
When meeting the emperor, there is also a set of procedures. The master of ceremonies will shout out "big Sima, lead Jizhou animal husbandry Yuan Xi, see your majesty" and bring your name; In ancient times, it was only when one of them was a superior elder.
Now the imperial edict orders "praise and worship without name", that is, no longer take your name, but only call it by official position. Although it looks like a small change, it reflects the meaning of equality between the emperor and ministers.
The last "sword shoes go to the temple" is that you can wear shoes and sword and go to the temple to see the son of heaven. This is also a privilege and honor.
However, Bai Xiaowen naturally has to pay a certain price for enjoying his great power.
For example, the emperor''s officials thoroughly saw through Bai Xiaowen''s true face.
Another example... Xun Yu took the initiative to resign from the desk.
Bai Xiaowen can only meet Xun Yu face to face.
Seeing Xun Yu this time, Bai Xiaowen was startled again. Compared with the last time he saw it, Xun Yu lost a lot of weight, and he felt like he was in shape.
"Ling Jun, why is Qing reduced so far?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Xun Yu replied, "I can''t eat well, I can''t sleep well, so I lose weight."
Bai Xiaowen didn''t continue to ask, but sighed: "it''s too hard for you to hold several posts. Since you''ve asked to leave the book business, Gu will be allowed; as for guangluqing''s position in the Imperial Hall, it''s a casual job, and you don''t have to enter the Imperial Hall again. Gu was promoted to be the governor of Jizhou, and you can concentrate on managing the civil affairs of Jizhou."
Here Bai Xiaowen calls himself "lonely" and does not go beyond it.
Xun Yu really should stay away from the center of the court and concentrate on local affairs. This is also a kind of protection for him.
Seeing that Bai Xiaowen didn''t follow his routine, Xun Yu directly said, "before the imperial edict was made to Lord Yan, his subordinates wrote to Lord, but there was no reply."
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "at that time, he was busy with his class teacher. He had arrived in Yanzhou, so he didn''t reply."
Xun Yu bowed down and said, "after the LORD was a minister of the Han Dynasty, the four generations and three princes were most gracious to the court. We should uphold the will of loyalty and observe the festival of humility. A gentleman loves others and virtue, and should not be so arrogant. I beg the Lord to withdraw his title, the Han Dynasty and the world will be very lucky."
Bai Xiaowen coughed and said, "OK, Xun Yu, I see. Just step back."
After Xun Yu left, Bai Xiaowen went to the table and asked to resign as the Duke of Yan.
The emperor''s heart gave birth to a glimmer of hope and asked at the court meeting, "what do you think of the Duke of Yan who said he was young and morally weak and did not dare to accept the title?"
The newly appointed guangluqing and the minister ordered Dong Zhao to go out of class and say, "this is the humility and courtesy of the Duke of Yan. Your majesty should issue another imperial edict not to allow the Duke of Yan to resign, so as not to disappoint his subjects."
After his death, the ministers worshipped again, and Shan shouted, "Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict so that the subjects will not be disappointed!" it turned out that Dong Zhao had already secretly linked most of the courtiers, so there was this scene of mountain calling sea response.
The emperor''s face changed color and he could only issue an imperial edict again. This time, Bai Xiaowen didn''t quit and accepted it directly.
Xun Yu had no choice but to stay in bed.
Dong Zhao went to visit Xun Yu and said, "I heard that you have repeatedly advised your Lord not to be respected. If you had been a jealous and mean Lord, I''m afraid you would have been unable to tolerate you. Your Lord has appointed you as the governor of Jizhou. You are extremely gracious. Why should you go against the trend and offend the world?"
Xun Yu coughed and couldn''t speak. He pointed to the door and stared at Dong Zhao.
Dong Zhao sighed, "only by being recommended by you can I meet the Lord Ming and show my ambition. This advice is for the sake of your family and life. Since you don''t like it, I will not come to the door in the future to avoid polluting your eyes."
