Cao Cao noticed Xu Chu's expression and asked with a smile: "Everyone has to give me rewards today, and everyone is very happy. Why is Zhongkang the only one so depressed?"

Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Xu Chu.

Xu Chu couldn't help but clasp his fists and said, "The lord should be the lord who ascended the throne today! It actually made Liu Bei's mat and footwear seller! It's really annoying!"

The civil and military officials couldn't help but think what Xu Chu said was very reasonable, and the generals nodded and agreed.

Cao Cao laughed without saying a word. Xun Yu stepped out and said, "Zhongkang's words are inappropriate. After all, the King of Wei is still a minister of the Han Dynasty. How could he be the emperor? Although Liu Bei was a low-class family, he was a relative of the Han Dynasty. Now that he is in power, he is the right person to succeed to the throne!"

Xu Chu said angrily: "Sir, what's wrong! Are you the military advisor of the King of Wei or Liu Bei's military advisor?"

Xun Yu frowned and said, "Of course I am the military advisor of the King of Wei, but the King of Wei also served for the Han Dynasty!"

Seeing that Xu Chu was still about to speak, Cao Cao immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Okay! Don't say more about these useless things!"

When Xu Chu heard Cao Cao's words, he had to suppress his unhappiness and shut his mouth.

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo said correctly. I, Cao Cao, is a minister of the Han Dynasty, so I must be loyal to the Han Dynasty."

He looked at Xu Chu with a depressed look and said, "But I am loyal to the Han Dynasty, not Liu Bei. According to the rules, Liu Bei should not inherit the throne.

However, those who are qualified to inherit the throne are now in Luoyang, so they have to temporarily take over the position of emperor by Liu Bei. This is just a temporary measure.

If you defeat Liu Xian in the future, everything will be based on the rules. The candidate for this new emperor must be produced by Emperor Xian’s brothers.”

Xu Chu's face cleared a little, and nodded, "If this is possible, I can still accept it."

The generals also nodded.

However, Xun Yu frowned and said nothing.

After the meeting, Cao Cao left Guo Jia and Cao Zhi to take a walk by the lake in the backyard.

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao frowning slightly, as if he was worried, so he clasped his fists and asked, "The King of Wei seems to have something to worry about?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Supreme Emperor actually sent a secret edict to Liu Bei to mail him! This incident was a bit beyond my expectations!"

Guo Jia thought, "The Supreme Emperor was under house arrest in Luoyang. Liu Xian had already become emperor. Seeing that the country was in danger, he wanted to make a desperate attempt. This action of Liu Bei was the only thing he could do!"

Cao Cao nodded and frowned, "But this matter may have some unexpected impact. Liu Bei's previous claim to be emperor was said to have been supported by us, so he dare not have any inappropriate thoughts.

However, the situation is different now. He received the imperial edict of the Supreme Emperor to pass the throne, so he was the legitimate emperor! I am afraid he would have some thoughts that he dare not think about before!"

Cao Zhi showed anger and said anxiously: "Liu Bei can rely on his father today. Does he dare to be unfavorable to his father?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "He may think, but he will never dare to do it for the time being..."

He then frowned and said, "However, Liu Bei has become a legitimate emperor and will definitely have some ideas in his heart. And many of my civil and military officials will have some ideas. But I must be careful!"

Guo Jia quickly clasped his fists and said, "The King of Wei doesn't have to worry too much! My subordinates believe that most civil officials and all military generals are absolutely loyal to the King of Wei rather than the so-called emperor!"

Cao Cao stopped and sighed: "You also say that it is the vast majority! People's hearts are unpredictable..." Then he shook his head and smiled: "What Fengxiao said is extremely true. I am indeed a little worried about this matter."

Looking at Guo Jia, frowned and asked, "Has there any progress on Qingwu?"

Guo Jia clasped his fists with shame and said, "I am incompetent. I have not found any clues about the thief until now. There is no news about Miss Xiahou..."

Cao Cao became angry and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Guo Jia said: "This matter is very strange. Logically speaking, the purpose of the thief kidnapped Miss Xiahou is nothing more than seeking wealth. However, to this day, neither we nor Miss Xiahou's home have received any news of the thief's blackmail.

The thief and Miss Xiahou seemed to have all disappeared out of thin air!"

Cao Zhi said: "Can you? Could it be that the thieves feel that the risk of this matter is too high, so they have given up?"

Cao Cao frowned.

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao and said worriedly: "What the young master said is possible. But if this is the case, I am afraid Miss Xiahou..."

Cao Cao was very upset and said, "You must not give up on this matter, and continue to investigate. You must see people in your life and see corpses in your life."

Guo Jia agreed with his fists.

Cao Cao moved his thoughts away from Xiahou Qingwu's affairs and continued to walk forward, Guo Jia and Cao Zhi followed closely.

Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Have you heard of the rumors in Yanzhou City recently?"

The two of them were moved, and Cao Zhi asked with his fists: "Is my father talking about his second brother?"

Cao Cao nodded.

Cao Zhi immediately said: "I don't think this rumor is trustworthy! How could the second brother let Liu Xian go?"

Guo Jia clasped his fists and said, "I also think this rumor is absolutely untrue! I'm afraid it was deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives, and it has ulterior motives!"

Cao Cao stopped, looked at the calm water in front of him, and murmured to himself: "The water surface seems to be calm and beautiful, but no one can see what is hidden under its calm surface?

Pier seems to be unable to let Liu Xian go, but from ancient times to the present, how many people have committed serious crimes of killing their father for power?”

Cao Zhi didn't understand Cao Cao's words at all, and looked confused, while Guo Jia showed a shocked look and could not speak.

In Luoyang, the news that Liu Bei accepted Liu Xie's edict to ascend the throne and became emperor reached the cold palace, and Liu Xie was shocked. Although he expected that Liu Bei would ascend the throne with his edict, he did not expect that the other party would make such a big fuss and make a fuss to everyone in the world.

When Concubine Dong came to Liu Xie's side, she saw that Liu Xie was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, she asked in confusion: "Why is Your Majesty so panicked?"

Liu Xie said angrily: "That Liu Bei actually claimed so much that he succeeded to the throne as emperor under my edict! Wouldn't he kill me? Now that I have heard of this, how could Liu Xian have no idea?"

Concubine Dong showed a shock and said in disbelief: "How did Liu Bei act like this?!"
