"Jia Wenhe, if you have something to say, please tell me!" Cao Cao waved his hand. Although he was looking forward to it, he still looked impatient on the surface. "If you don't make sense, I will chop off Xu Chu's head immediately!"
"Cao Sikong, Xu Chu is indeed guilty!"
Jia Xu held up his hand and continued... "But what Xu You did in Yecheng was outrageous and resentful. His arrogant shouting, his bullying and misbehavior, all the people, officials, and clans of Yecheng can testify..."
Speaking of this, Jia Xu emphasized his tone meaningfully. "What's more... he did humiliate Cao Sikong, bully meritorious people, and seize the sold land. I would like to suggest that Xu You should be buried well to express his gratitude.
Report to the emperor, posthumously confer Xu You the title of Marquis of Dangyang, punish Xu Chu severely, and make Xu Chu kowtow in front of Xu You's grave and confess his guilt!"
As soon as I said this...
All the civil servants and military generals looked at each other in confusion. If Xun Lingjun, who was in charge of Xudu, was Cao Cao's first counselor, then Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe were undoubtedly the second. His words carried a lot of weight, even for Cao Cao...
We have to face it.
Sure enough, Cao Cao walked around for a few steps, closed his eyes, and then shook his head with some sadness.
"Wen He, even if Xu You did some evil things, after all, he did great service for us in Guandu! We have just pacified the northern border, and we killed him? What will the people of the world think of me, Cao Cao? They will think
I, Cao Cao, am narrow-minded and think that I, Cao Cao, am trying to kill a donkey...Xu You just made some small mistakes, so I will kill him! Haha, when the time comes, who in the world will dare to come to me, Cao Cao, Xu Chu will definitely kill me
Cao Cao’s desire to seek talents!”
As soon as this statement came out...
The atmosphere in the entire government office suddenly became cold again.
But I saw that Jia Xu was still unhurried...
He waved his hand.
"Cao Sikong is worried too much. The world will never think so, because Xu You's bad reputation is known to the world, and Xu You's evil deeds can be punished by everyone in Ye City. Now, there are tens of thousands of people outside the east gate of Ye City.
The people were carrying dishes and celebrating wildly, which all proves that Xu You was a man who did evil in order to gain fame and reputation. His death was applauded by everyone in the world!"
After all, he is the number one in the Three Kingdoms, ah no... he is the second in the Three Kingdoms, but Jia Xu's words are still very easy to resonate with.
Of course, in Cao Cao's view, I should not turn a blind eye as I should cooperate with you in your performance!
Cao Cao then asked back.
"Wen He? Then how do you prove that people in the world can applaud? How do you prove that Xu You is just trying to gain fame and does bad things, and everyone will punish him?"
"Cao Sikong, this is simple."
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, and he slowly looked at the civil servants in the government office, especially the newly appointed civil servants from Yuan Ying.
"Actually, even if Cao Sikong is not needed, the talented people in Jizhou will naturally write a memorial to praise Cao Sikong and refute Xu You... This memorial could not have been written by Chen Lin. His writing is as good as the rafters.
It is said to be excellent. Once the article is published, it will be praised at home and abroad just like the cry against thieves in the past. Cao Sikong's name is not only not damaged, but also better warns the world that Cao Sikong's territorial rule of law is strict and upright, even if he has meritorious service.
Even as a minister, I have no privileges!"
As soon as Jia Xu blurted out his words...
"I am willing to write it." Chen Lin immediately took a step forward...
He's good at this.
What's more, he hasn't submitted a letter of nomination to join Cao Ying!
It couldn't be easier than writing an article angrily criticizing Xu You, combined with Xu You's character.
If you keep this memorial letter, everyone in the world will hate Xu You to the core and resent you to the utmost.
All of a sudden... the atmosphere in the entire government office seemed to relax a bit.
After Jia Xu's deception, Chen Lin expressed her stance, and the other civil servants and military generals all agreed and supported Jia Xu's proposal.
Huh...Cao Cao exhaled.
He closed his eyes for a few breaths, then opened his eyes and glared at Xu Chu coldly, as if he had no intention of bypassing him easily.
"Xu Chu, you killed my friend of many years. Your crime was unpardonable. However, because of your drunkenness and negligence, I will spare your life... But from now on, you will be demoted to a guard, and you will go to the blacksmith shop of Youjian Villa to take charge.
Guard the door of the blacksmith shop and ensure that the fine steel halberds supplied to our Cao army are cast safely. If anything goes wrong, I will ask you for it. Forget it, just take all the Tiger Soldiers to Youjian Villa!"
After talking about this, Cao Cao's anger seemed to diminish a little.
"And..." His tone has become very gentle. "I will punish you not to drink alcohol in Youjian Villa!"
When it came to going to Youjian Villa to see the gate, Xu Chu was very happy, but when he mentioned that he couldn't drink, this...
Xu Chu was about to say something.
Unexpectedly, he was directly suppressed by Cao Cao's words. It seemed that Cao Cao was afraid that he would speak.
"By the way, you have to kowtow in front of Xu You's grave and confess your guilt!"
As soon as the words fell...
Xu Chu was not angry anymore. It was enough that he was not allowed to drink. He also had to kowtow to that piece of shit Xu You. Whoever wanted to go could go, but Xu Chu didn't want to go!
But at this moment, Jia Xu pushed Xu Chu, "Quick, thank you!"
"Yes, yes, thank you!"
"Thank you...why are you standing there in a daze!"
A group of counselors and generals advised...
Xu Chu couldn't resist them, so he could only hand him over. "Thank you, sinner..."
Only then did Cao Cao's expression completely calm down. He took a sip of tea to calm down...
Then he raised his head meaningfully and glanced at Xu Chu. "Go away, there is a villa waiting for you! If there is a blacksmith shop that loses a steel gun or shortens a steel halberd, I will ask you."
While speaking, Cao Cao lowered his head and blinked his eyes several times.
A big stone in my heart finally landed safely.
…
Outside the government office gate.
Because of Xu Chu, this discussion ended early. Although it did not break up in an unhappy manner, Cao Cao finally became angry and the atmosphere was very solemn for a time...
Fortunately, Xu Chu escaped.
Xu Chu knocked on his forehead as he walked out of the government office. After thinking about it, he was a little confused.
Seeing Jia Xu walking slowly in front of him, Xu Chu walked up to him in three steps and then bowed. "Mr. Jia, thank you so much for your help..."
"You're welcome." Jia Xu waved his hand.
"Sir..." Xu Chu stretched out his hand and scratched his head to clear up the questions in his mind. "Sir, there was something in the government office just now that made me very confused!"
"What's wrong with you?" Jia Xu asked as he walked.
Xu Chu stretched out his hand and gestured, and said, "Look, just now Mr. Cao wanted to kill me. So many civil servants and generals begged me for mercy. They all knelt down, but Mr. Cao refused. Why did the Lord just beg for mercy?
Are you sure? Why is this?"
"Well..." Jia Xu paused and turned around to face Xu Chu. "All the counselors and generals only knew that Xu Chu killed Xu You, but they didn't know that Yi Xiaotian's fault was also involved. So even if it was to plead for mercy,
It’s not the place you’re asking for, it’s not the point. On the contrary, I’m familiar with Yi Xiaotian, and it’s for this reason that my words can reach Cao Sikong’s heart!”
Speaking of this, Xu Chu nodded in understanding...
Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Jia Xu's sleeve. "That's great. Since Mr. Jia can understand Mr. Cao's thoughts, then just ask for one more favor for me."
Huh? Begging for mercy again?
Jia Xu frowned, wondering what Xu Chu had done again?
Before he could think about it carefully, Xu Chu's voice came out one after another.
"It's about drinking."
There was a bit of embarrassment in his words.
"Mr. Jia, think about it, my lord asked me to kowtow to Xu You, even if he kowtows a hundred times, what does that matter? It's all empty, it doesn't matter."
"You can't drink alcohol. This is a big deal. Mr. Jia is familiar with Master Yi, so he must know where the villa is. There is good wine there. If I were guarding the door there, I wouldn't even be able to touch the drink.
Wouldn’t that make me hungry to death?”
Xu Chu's words were solemn and serious.
"Drink?"
Jia Xu looked back at Xu Chu, and then laughed "hahaha".
Xu Chu also laughed, thinking to himself that there must be something wrong with this.
I never thought, "Ah bah"...
Jia Xu almost sprayed Xu Chu's face with a mouthful of salt soda... "Wishful thinking! Xu Chu, Xu Chu, you are really pushing your limits. I won't help you with drinking!"
As he spoke, Jia Xu planned to leave...
"No, no, no, no." Xu Chu grabbed Jia Xu's arm and said, "Mr. Jia, I will save people to the end. If you can help me so much, I, Xu Chu, will thank you forever."
Hey…
Jia Xu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and knocked on Xu Chu's forehead.
"Xu Chu, Xu Chu, you are really stupid."
At this point, Jia Xu sighed. "You have been following Cao Sikong for so long, why can't you understand what Cao Sikong meant?"
"What does Cao Sikong mean?" Xu Chu asked next.
"Let me tell you, Cao Sikong sent you to guard the gate of Youjian Villa. This move is very meaningful!" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and his tone was full of meaning.
hiss…
Xu Chu scratched his head and went to Youjian Villa to guard the gate for his benefactor Mr. Yi? What's meaningful about this? Isn't it just punishment?
He doesn't understand, he can't understand...
To be honest, Xu You is annoyed by these intellectuals the most. They always fail to explain clearly what they have to say. It sounds like they are taking too much effort.
"Mr. Jia, you...you should tell me in detail!"
Xu Chu's eyes wanted to stare out...
He is curious, extremely curious!
As the saying goes, the stronger and more obese people are, the more curious they are if they give up treatment!
