He even ordered people to carry me onto a stretcher and treat me with special care.
How could Your Majesty be so enraged by such rumors? Your Majesty...has other plans."
...
All the ministers were very frightened.
Although Ying Yuan could feel their sincerity in loyalty.
But how to say it.
From my perspective, the more loyal they are, the more uncomfortable I feel.
I hope they are all acting.
In fact, he had been planning a rebellion in secret for a long time.
After drinking so much, Ying Yuan had lost interest.
He then waved his sleeves and was about to leave in front of everyone.
Seeing this.
The ministers exchanged glances, then bowed in unison, saying, "We respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan sighed, shook his head, and said, "You... don't understand me."
As soon as the words fell.
The ministers began to think about it carefully.
When he came to his senses, Ying Yuan had already left.
As soon as the emperor left.
Naturally, the ministers lost interest in drinking anymore.
They were silent for a while, and then Cao Cao took out his military token from his waist, placed it on the table in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, I believe you all have heard clearly what he meant. Now that the war has just ended, Your Majesty wants to rest and recuperate for a while. Naturally, he cannot let his ministers take charge of the army."
The meaning of him taking out the tiger talisman was very clear.
Instead of going against the emperor, it is better to be a leisurely prince.
The key is that he also serves as the Minister of War.
Even if you lose your military power, you can still do things for the country.
He did this mainly to gain Ying Yuan's trust.
The four kings were in trouble.
The troops they recruited were all their own private soldiers.
If we leave the army in Xianyang, we will not be able to guard our territory without soldiers, which is not good either.
Moreover, even if they stayed, who would provide them with military pay, food, etc.?
Should the court give it or should I give it myself?
Paused.
Dong Zhuo explained all the difficulties in detail.
To be honest, a hereditary throne allows one's descendants to enjoy wealth and glory.
That's enough.
He didn't think about unnecessary things anymore.
I just envy the prosperity of Xianyang.
Cao Cao said, "Actually, this matter is easy to resolve. In the past, each king's army was under his own control.
After the kings return, the troops can be dispersed to various states and counties, and jointly controlled by each state and county.
During wartime, the kings submitted memorials requesting the return of the tiger talisman in order to mobilize the army.
Your Majesty is a wise ruler, he will agree with this approach."
Hearing this, the four kings looked troubled.
Is the army that I have worked so hard to train now going to be used as a wedding dress for others?
I feel so unwilling.
But now that things have come to this, what other choice is there?
If I don't leave the tiger talisman here, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this hall.
Thinking of this, the forbearing King of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, took the lead and said:
"Now that things have come to this, I will leave this tiger talisman as a gift to Your Majesty."
He has his own plans.
I thought, since His Majesty has seized military power in this way, it also means.
Your Majesty has no intention of taking action against himself or other kings of different surnames.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have been named King of Wei.
Moreover, if Your Majesty really wants to take action against kings of different surnames, then Your Majesty will definitely be eager to reduce the power of the vassal states.
Instead of getting angry at the banquet.
"I will also hand over the tiger talisman."
"This king agrees with this move."
“…”
The four kings, including the generals, no longer hesitated.
They all took out their tiger talismans.
From then on, the entire Qin military force was firmly in the hands of Ying Yuan.
Of course, with the influence of the Four Kings in the local area, if they want to rebel, they can still form a team in a very short time.
