But is this possible?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at the four generals, they all wore armor and carried swords when they entered the palace, obviously not taking him, the emperor, seriously.
This is something that even a fool can see, so how could he not see it?
It’s better to ask for peace and migrate south!
However, Ying Yuan didn't consider these things at all. He just wanted his country to be destroyed as soon as possible.
If we don't fight and move south, the enemy may not necessarily move south. How can we destroy the country then?
Just when Ying Yuan was thinking about who to let take charge and speed up the country's demise.
Cao stood up and bowed deeply to him, saying:
"I, Cao Cao, the Cavalry Commander, am willing to follow the army and resist the enemy!"
He did not recommend himself to take charge.
Because he was just a fifth-rank official.
It is impossible to soar into the sky and suddenly take charge of an army.
However, he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
If you can be appreciated by a wise ruler, you may be able to do something for the country.
Qin Hui glared at him and said sternly, "How can a mere cavalry captain like you have the right to speak here? Back off!"
Hearing this, although Cao Cao was unwilling, he had to endure it temporarily and planned to leave the hall.
At that time, Cao Cao was very young and wanted to be a capable minister in a peaceful era, rather than a treacherous hero in troubled times.
When Ying Yuan heard his name, his eyes lit up immediately.
Cao Cao!
A generation of heroes!
If he were to take control of the military power, he would definitely use me as a coercion to control the other ministers, right?
Moreover, he is now just a small cavalry captain and cannot be considered a high-ranking official.
If I let him lead the troops, the ministers would definitely be surprised and think I am incompetent.
By then, perhaps they will all rise up in rebellion.
That’s great.
Ying Yuan seemed to have seen his own ending of becoming an immortal Daluo Jinxian.
Thinking of this, he made a decision without hesitation: "Wait! Your name is Cao Cao, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed and said, "I am the Cavalry Commander Cao Cao, courtesy name Mengde, honored to meet Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty a long life."
After he finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground.
Ying Yuan nodded and said bluntly: "Since you have a heart to serve your country, I will give you this opportunity. From this moment on, the 150,000 troops in Xianyang City are yours!
"Sir, I'm going to recruit Cavalry Commander Cao Cao, a loyal and brave man who serves the country. Now that the enemy is invading, we need a capable minister to assist us. I am promoting Cao Cao to the position of Minister of War, commanding the troops of the capital to resist the enemy!"
As soon as the words fell.
Cao Cao, who was still kneeling on the ground, was stunned.
Qin Hui was confused.
Cai Jing was confused.
The ministers of various departments were confused.
The four generals were also confused.
Everyone was stunned.
A small fifth-rank official suddenly became a third-rank official?
Will I be able to directly participate in national affairs in the future?
Isn't this child's play?
Is there any precedent for this in our country?!
What a tyrant! What a tyrant!
He's the Minister of War. Do you think you can just give him gold, silver and other things as rewards?
Soon after, many people stood up to oppose it:
"Your Majesty, I, Heshen, hope you will make a careful decision!"
"Your Majesty, I, Li Linfu, hope you will make a careful decision!"
"minister..."
“…”
After hearing their objections, Ying Yuan's heart was immediately filled with joy.
The more you oppose it, the more foolish it becomes!
Then, he waved his hand, showing his imposing manner, and said in a deep voice:
"As the saying goes, don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ. I believe Cao Qing will achieve success immediately!
From today onwards, anyone who dares to advocate for peace, migration south, or refuses to allow Cao Cao to take command of the army and become the Minister of War will be executed immediately!
The ministers were suddenly speechless.
Your Majesty, when did you become so overbearing and tough?
He always speaks to his ministers in a timid manner!
Why is it so abnormal today?
Could it be...
Were you just pretending before?!
This...is incredible!
Qin Hui glanced at the four generals and found that none of them stood up to speak.
I just kept silent.
A tyrant is a tyrant!
They actually let a small cavalry captain serve as the Minister of War. Can he lead the troops?
Does he know how the Ministry of War works?
Command an army of 150,000 to resist the enemy?
By then, I’m afraid I won’t even know how I died!
As long as you lose the battle, I will unite with other ministers, force you to abdicate and take advantage of the opportunity to gain greater power!
I guess General Si Zheng has the same idea in his mind, right?
Or perhaps, their ambitions are greater than mine, so they simply take the opportunity to help an obedient person take the top position?
...
"Cao Cao, why don't you accept the order and express your gratitude?" Zhao Gao, who was standing next to Ying Yuan, suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao burst into tears of gratitude and said:
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao, accepts your command and expresses your gratitude! I hereby pledge my loyalty to you and will defeat the enemy and protect our capital! If I make any mistake, I offer my head to Your Majesty!"
Ying Yuan looked at his loyalty and sneered in his heart.
If I didn't know that you were a peerless hero, I would have almost believed that you were a loyal minister!
I'm afraid that once you take control of the military power, the first thing you will do is to lead the army into my palace, right?
I...
I'm really looking forward to it.
