Ying Yuan and all the officials, including Daji, were waiting outside the city of Xianyang.
The former seemed to be in a good mood at this time.
Because Cao Cao's return to the court meant that he could confer titles on his ministers.
I think those people will begin to covet the throne after they have higher power.
Especially Cao Cao, after he became the King of Wei, perhaps his treacherous character would have emerged.
There is a red carpet stretched from the city gate to three miles away.
The royal guards stood in an orderly manner on both sides of the red carpet.
Behind Ying Yuan were all the officials and Daji.
When Cao Cao and others saw the emperor and his entourage, they immediately dismounted from their horses.
Walked over on foot.
I have been away from Xianyang for a long time, and it would be a lie to say that I don’t miss this place.
Many people feel a little homesick.
This battle lasted too long.
Everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Ying Yuan strode forward.
Cao Cao and the others immediately knelt on one knee, "We greet your majesty. May your majesty live forever!"
The soldiers behind him all knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live His Majesty".
The momentum is extremely grand.
Ying Yuan personally helped Cao Cao to his feet, then looked at the soldiers behind him and nodded contentedly, "You... have worked hard! Everyone, stand up."
Everyone originally thought that the emperor would say some passionate words to encourage this victorious army.
However, I didn't expect that it would only be a few words.
However, think about it carefully.
It seems that thousands of words cannot compare to these three words: "thank you for your hard work".
Ying Yuan took advantage of the situation and shouted, "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers."
All the soldiers responded in unison: "It's not hard, we fight for the Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Yuan firmly grasped Cao Cao's wrist, patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for this great victory. I will definitely reward you and the soldiers of the three armies handsomely."
At this moment, a drunk man in blue suddenly fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
All kinds of ugly things happen.
Being disrespectful in front of the emperor is a serious crime!
When Cao Cao saw the man falling to the ground, his heart tightened.
That person was Guo Jia.
Qin Hui, who was standing behind Daji, saw this and shouted angrily, "Who is this person? How dare he behave so disgracefully? He deserves to be punished!"
Cao Cao quickly said, "Your Majesty, this man is Guo Jia. He and Xi Zhicai have frequently offered me advice and have rendered me great service. I hope Your Majesty will forgive them."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan smiled and said, "No problem. Come, carry our Great Qin's meritorious official onto the stretcher."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of punishing him, Cao Cao felt a little relieved.
In fact, it’s not that Ying Yuan doesn’t want to punish.
But I thought of one thing.
In previous history, among the counselors who persuaded Cao Cao to use the emperor to control the princes, there was Guo Jia.
A character like this cannot die.
He must be kept alive.
He was the only one who lived well after Cao Cao became the King of Wei.
Only then could he advise Cao Cao and make him take the emperor hostage to control the princes.
"Today, I, along with all the heroes, will not return home until we are drunk!"
Ying Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
I really couldn't help it.
Although he won the battle, he was very unhappy.
But on second thought, these generals under Cao Cao, including the Four Kings, might commit rebellious acts in the future.
Now that they have won the battle and gained credit, they can take advantage of the situation and be given more power.
In this case, who can remain immune from the erosion of power?
Once they have power, who can guarantee that they will not commit acts of rebellion?
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
It was precisely for this reason that Ying Yuan temporarily forgot the distress that their victory had brought him.
