    After Mi Heng returned to Yangzhou, he told Kong Rong about the matter.

    Kong Rong found it interesting and joked: "Why don't you ask Dongyang Marquis for a share of the drink money?"

    Since the list was announced, everyone has known that the hostility between Cao Cao and Liu Ke is inevitable.

    Now that Mi Heng has frustrated Cao Cao, maybe Liu Ke will pay part of his "salary."

    Mi Heng found it interesting and immediately visited Liu Ke.

    In fact, Liu Ke has been informed of what Mi Heng did.

    When Liu Ke was happy, he rewarded him with ten thousand gold.

    "A thousand gold coins sounds better." Mi Heng finally took away a thousand gold coins.

    Mi Heng has never cared about money. As long as he has something to eat and something to drink, he is very satisfied.

    Having too much money and not knowing where to put it will only cause trouble.

    Of course, this incident also reached Cao Cao¡¯s ears, and Cao Cao was stunned.

    Mi Heng is so crazy, why did he suddenly become begging for mercy when he arrived at the Marquis of Dongyang?

    Cao Cao was puzzled.

    In the end, I came to the conclusion that I was being calculated.

    Being plotted against for no reason, how could Cao Cao let it go with his pride?

    Cao Cao was thinking about how to retaliate, but his opponent was Liu Ke, so some harsh methods were useless.

    Xi Zhicai suggested: "My lord, you might as well canonize the Marquis of Dongyang as king and see if he dares to accept it."

    "What a brilliant idea!" Cao Cao said.

    If Liu accepts it, it means that he is ambitious and intends to go further.

    This is the so-called flattery.

    So, Cao Cao directly found Yang Biao and asked him to go to Yangzhou to announce the decree.

    Yang Biao is in the third rank and has high moral and prestige, so it is most appropriate for him to go.

    Firstly, it shows respect, and secondly, it prevents Liu Ke from having murderous intentions.

    When Yang Biao received this task, he was shocked. The first thing he thought of was to shirk.

    I¡¯m just an idle fish!

    Nowadays, Yang Biao does not care about almost anything in the court.

    This is the foundation of his longevity.

    Neither Dong Zhuo nor Cao Cao had murderous intentions towards Yang Biao, because he was a better person and knew what to say and what not to say.

    It¡¯s not that Dong Cheng didn¡¯t contact Yang Biao before his death, but he was fooled by Yang Biao like he was doing Tai Chi.

    Now, you are actually going to Yangzhou to announce the decree?

    It¡¯s better to leave such a thankless job to others!

    "Prime Minister, I am feeling unwell, please find someone else who is wise."

    Yang Biao is very weak now, so he seems to be pretending to be sick.

    However, this time Cao Cao had no intention of letting him go.

    "Are Yang Dezu and Ni Heng close friends?"

    In one sentence, Yang Biao's retreat was blocked.

    Yang Biao handed over his hand, and the two knew it well.

    So, Yang Biao led a huge mission and traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou.

    Liu Ke did not go outside the city to greet them, but held a high-standard banquet for them.

    Yang Biao was not in a hurry to announce the decree, because he wanted to test Liu Ke's attitude.

    "What is the purpose of your visit this time, Lord Taiwei?" Liu Ke asked, getting straight to the point without any hesitation.

    Yang Biao was immediately confused by the question. Shouldn¡¯t the script start with a few pleasantries?

    "This is not urgent, it is a happy event." Yang Biao said, then changed the topic and talked about some things about the Liu clan.

    Although Liu Ke is Zongzheng, he hardly cares about specific matters.  It is reasonable for Yang Biao to talk about these things when reporting on his work.

    Of course, Yang Biao is also a good person and will not say nonsense.

    He mentioned some of the daily life of Emperor Xian.

    Liu Ke is quite interested in this point.

    Among them, Queen Fu gave birth to a son for Emperor Xian.

    Queen Fu was of noble birth. She was the eighth grandson of Fu Zhan, the Great Situ of the Western Han Dynasty. Her father was the scholar Fu Wan, and her aunt was Liu Hua, the princess of Yang'an.

    "Tell Cao Cao that I will keep this child and stop him from using his mind." Liu Kedao.

    This sentence almost made Yang Biao lose his power.

    When dealing with Dongyang Hou, you must be calm and relaxed!

    But Yang Biao¡¯s words are not without effect. At least Liu Ke¡¯s senses are better for him.

    "Dongyang Hou, I really don't hide anything from you."??I came here this time to make you the king!  "Yang Biao went straight to the point, took out the imperial edict and read it aloud in person.

    In order to show respect, Liu Ke stood up and raised his hands.

    The general meaning of the imperial edict is that Liu Ke's hard work and merit are enough to be crowned king.

    "I refuse." Liu Kedao.

    It¡¯s not a refusal that wants to refuse, but it¡¯s very straightforward.

    Yang Biao was not surprised at all, after all, no one would accept it.

    With Liu Ke¡¯s current strength, is there any difference between being the Marquis of Dongyang or the King of Dongyang?

    There is no difference at all, and you will still be the best.

    "Moreover, Liu Ke's Dongyang Marquis was at least canonized by the late emperor. Who is this Dongyang King?

    "If Cao Cao were to be the one to confer the title, Liu Ke thought it would be better to just claim it.

    "Marquis Dongyang, won't you think about it again?" Yang Biao asked again, of course to make excuses for the failure of the mission.

    It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t work hard enough, it¡¯s that Marquis Dongyang really doesn¡¯t want to accept it.

    Liu Ke refused again.

    "Lieutenant Yang, go back to where you came from." Liu Kedao said that this was an order to expel guests.

    Yang Biao bowed his hands and said goodbye.  He didn't want to come out either. He was an old man. Unfortunately, as a human being, he always had some worries.

    ¡°For example, my son Yang Xiu is as arrogant as Ni Heng and will cause big trouble sooner or later.

    You must teach him a lesson when you go back!

    After watching Yang Biao leave, Liu Ke looked complicated. In his opinion, being crowned king was just a farce.

    Why did Cao Cao do this?

    It¡¯s just to disgust people.

    Even if Liu Ke refuses, it will probably be known to everyone.

    Although the effect is somewhat worse, it still works after all.

    "My lord, a big tree attracts the wind. You are right to refuse." Guo Jiadao, "With your bad taste, I almost thought you would accept it."

    "If Cao Cao rewards you with 500,000 gold, I will accept it." Liu Xiaoxiao said.

    "My lord, you are the one with great wisdom and ability." Guo Jiadao.

    After Yang Biao returned to Chang'an, Cao Cao did not blame him.  Just as Liu Ke guessed, the news that Liu Ke became king was spread everywhere.

    Although it was eventually denied by Yangzhou, the fearsome words still caused some damage to Liu Ke's prestige.

    In the eyes of some people, of course they support Liu Ke becoming king.

    Because they have received benefits from Liu Ke indirectly or directly, such as the explosive production of grain and life support during war.

    However, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, this is disrespectful!

    Regardless of whether you are proclaimed king or crowned king, you must act with caution.

    ??In the eyes of scholars, the world belongs not only to the princes, but also to them.  After all, the rule of the princes cannot be separated from them.

    Cao Cao's plan was easily resolved by Liu Ke, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

    ¡°For example, the humiliation he suffered and Liu Ke¡¯s little reputation loss, what does it count?

    The more I think about it, the more unbalanced I become.

    Cao Cao decided not to let it go, so he launched his revenge again.

    This time, we will treat the person with the same method as he used to treat him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
