After Cao Cao heard Liu Xie's words, his heart was not shaken in the slightest. He already had his own plans for such a thing, so in his opinion, it was impossible to accept the title of King of Wei.
"Your Majesty, don't mention this matter again. Wei Wang is a title that can only be held by the royal family of the Han Dynasty. I, Cao Cao, are just a humble minister, so this matter must not be done!"
Cao Cao then firmly rejected Liu Xie's proposal!
This kind of thing seems to be very familiar. It was also the third time, and it was also when Cao Cao was made the Duke of Wei.
Such a situation is completely a show, no matter how much he yearns for such a situation in his heart, Cao Cao cannot agree.
Because this matter was too fast for Cao Cao.
Although there is no one in this world who can compete with the Cao family, Cao Cao still yearns for the title of King Wei in his heart.
If Cao Cao really accepted the title of King Wei now, it would be a fatal blow to both Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou!
Such a blow is not only spiritual, but also above the public opinion.
Regardless of whether it is Sun Ce from Jiangdong, or Liu Biao and Liu Zhang from Jingzhou, anyway, with their current strength, it is impossible for them to pose any threat to Cao Cao in such a situation, and they can even hold on to their own territory. It is already very difficult.
These situations are external situations, and in the internal situation, Cao Cao feels that there is nothing to care about.
Now their Cao family is in Xudu and has a radius of hundreds of miles. There are no internal enemies in this Han Dynasty, and it can be said that they are the existence that everyone expects.
And it is precisely because of this existence that he, Cao Cao, is not worried at all.
The environment where Cao Cao is now is even better than when Cao Cao became the king of Wei in history. The reason for this situation is inseparable from the relationship with Cao Ang.
Under such a relationship, it is not impossible for Wei Gong and Cao Cao to transition to Wei Wang. Although it seems a little anxious, overall there is nothing serious.
The current situation is like this, even if Cao Cao really agrees, there is nothing wrong with it, but in Cao Cao's heart, he still seeks stability for such a thing, and takes this steady route.
Although in the current situation, Cao Cao can accept it or not, but Cao Cao chooses the most stable one.
Whether it is inside or outside, this situation is very stable now, but it is inevitable that the ship will capsize in the gutter. For such a situation, Cao Cao naturally does not want it to happen, so it is better to be more cautious now.
After Liu Xie heard what Cao Cao said, he didn't dare to say anything more. After all, Liu Xie knew why Cao Cao didn't accept his reward.
However, Liu Xie did not give up on this matter.
In the next few days, he, Liu Xie, was so busy that he would bring all the civil and military officials of the court towards Cao Ang's General's Mansion almost every day.
It's fine for Liu Xie to say it alone, but he even brought all the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty with him. Cao Ang was a little surprised by such a battle.
The reason why Liu Xie went with all the civil and military officials was to get Cao Ang to come forward and persuade his father well.Regarding this matter, Liu Xie thought that it would be better for Cao Ang to say it than himself.
Then Cao Cao has already rejected this proposal three times in front of everyone. For such a thing, even if Cao Cao wanted to do it in his heart, or regretted it, then he would have no face to do it again!
Therefore, Liu Xie also wanted Cao Ang to show up very intimately, and persuaded his father well, which could be regarded as giving Cao Cao a step down.
What's more, Liu Xie is also very clear in his heart that if he asks Cao Ang, this matter will be much easier, and it will make this matter more effective.
Therefore, this Liu Xie was also very unwilling to give up and brought all the civil and military officials in the court to Cao Ang's general's mansion, and then tried to persuade him.
Everyone in Xudu knew very well that Cao Cao was obedient to Cao Ang. Regardless of Cao Cao being the Duke of Wei, he was very obedient to the general Cao Ang, after all, he was his proud son.
If he, Cao Ang, agreed, no matter what doubts Cao Cao had, he would agree without hesitation.
Liu Xie confirmed this point, so in the next few days, he, Liu Xie, brought all the civil and military officials in the court for three days and two nights in the general's mansion.
During the past few days, Liu Xie and the civil and military personnel of the whole dynasty did not leave one by one.
Such a thing sounds shocking. The dignified Son of Heaven actually stayed in the General's Mansion for three days and two nights, all for the purpose of getting Wei Gong to accept the title of King Wei?
what is this?
The dignified emperor actually begged someone to accept the title of king of Wei?
Such a thing is simply shocking, and it is even more incredible in people's hearts!
So, after such a thing came out, the people in Xudu all became excited one by one, causing quite a commotion in an instant.
Such a commotion made it difficult for everyone to calm down in the next few days!
Afterwards, among the people, all kinds of news spread like wildfire. After the news spread, there were many versions.
The first thing to start is: "Liu Xie values Wei Gong, and he was rejected as king if he wanted to be crowned king!"
After this matter really spread, it became: "Liu Xie begged Duke Wei to accept the title of King Wei!"
...
Chapter 365 The Prosperity of Industry and Commerce
This kind of situation is not only in Xudu, but also in Huainan, Guanzhong, Jizhou, Youzhou and other places.
It can be said that the two sides of the Yellow River were very lively during this period of time. The matter of Liu Xie begging Wei Gong to accept the title of King Wei became a topic of discussion among people after dinner.
Later, it was even possible to read the news about Liu Xie begging Cao Cao to accept the title of King Wei in this newspaper.
Under the dissemination of this newspaper, this situation has spread even more widely.
In an instant, among the people, the aspirations of all the people who supported Cao Cao gathered into a very powerful momentum.
Of course, if someone supports it, there will be someone who opposes it. However, under such a strong momentum, those who oppose it are simply fighting against this general trend.
Under such momentum, their voices of opposition were all suppressed by the powerful momentum, which seemed very insignificant.
Under such circumstances, Cao Ang had no choice but to come forward.
This Liu Xie has not gone back for three days and two nights. If this continues, Cao Ang does not know how long this Liu Xie will stay here.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Cao Ang had no choice but to face Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, let me ask first, has it been confirmed that your father will be king of Wei?"
Liu Xie was very excited when he heard this. For three days and two nights, Cao Ang hadn't talked about it with him, but now Cao Ang finally talked about it with him.
"Of course I'm serious. Duke Wei has made great military exploits this time. Shouldn't he deserve the title of King Wei?"
"If Duke Wei insists on refusing to accept it, then I will not stop this matter. Besides, this matter itself is the public opinion of the world. Since the people of the world have already said so, then Wei What reason do you have for refusing?"
Looking at Liu Xie's firm look, it is clear that Liu Xie is already very serious about this in his heart.
After Cao Ang saw the serious Liu Xie, he said helplessly, "Since Your Majesty insists on doing this, then I should persuade my father, so that Your Majesty can feel at ease, and the people in this world can feel at ease!"
It was very difficult for Cao Ang to say, and Cao Ang naturally enjoyed such things, and the reason why he did this was to accept it logically.
This one after another refusal, finally had to agree, it seems that he is not in a hurry to be the king of Wei, whether it is in the hearts of the people or in the public opinion, he has a good position.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao and Cao Ang made such a move.
