Due to Liu Qi's order, all his subordinates also became a little busy.
Preparing for Liu Qi to become king, such as building an altar, etc.
Because he had no intention of hiding it, a notice was posted, and other princes' spies in Chengdu also learned that Liu Qi was preparing to become king at the same time as Cao Cao.
They passed the news back one after another.
Chang'an City.
The news has not yet been sent back to Chang'an.
The blood-clothed guard holding the memorial written by Liu Qi himself had already sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After delivering the memorial, the blood-robed guard left Chang'an without hesitation and prepared to report back to Yizhou.
He was only responsible for delivering the memorial.
As for why it was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion instead of the Imperial Palace, will there be any response in the end and what will be the outcome?
He doesn't need to pay attention to any of this, it's just a formality.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
After taking Chang'an and killing Guo Fan and others, the extremely powerful Cao Cao, with the help of his subordinates, took the position of prime minister and became a powerful person.
It can be said that if you want to sit on the dragon throne, it is just a matter of words.
The memorial sent by the blood-clothed guards was quickly handed over to Cao Cao by the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Cao generally wouldn't ask people to send memorials to the Prime Minister's Palace, and now, except for some old ministers, the rest of the people in the court were from his side.
Even if the memorials were sent to the palace, he would still know about them.
What is written on it.
Originally, when he heard a memorial was coming, Cao Cao didn't want to read it, so he asked his guards to take it to the palace.
But a word from the guard made him change his mind.
"Lord, this is the memorial sent by the blood-clothed guards sent by Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Qi."
The guard held the memorial sent by the blood-clothed guards to the Prime Minister's Mansion in both hands and lowered his head.
Hear the words.
Cao Cao asked the guards to take the memorial and quickly opened it to read it.
I saw that Cao Cao, who was looking at the memorial, had a gloomy face, and the light in his eyes kept flashing.
Until finished.
Cao Cao was speechless and kept staring at the memorial. a long time "Go and call Zhicai and Wenruo," Cao Cao ordered after coming back from the silence.
"promise" The guard did not hesitate.
After bowing, he turned around and walked out.
Wait for the guard to walk out.
Cao Cao's frown did not relax.
What he held in his hand was the memorial that Liu Qi wanted to claim as king.
He also somewhat understood why Liu Qi handed over this memorial.
It was all caused by his desire to be crowned king.
As for other princes who had not made any move, such as Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, etc., he also knew very well that these people were What's the idea?
That's it.
He couldn't look back, after all, he was not alone now, there were many people under his command.
He had no intention of being crowned king in the first place.
Everything was caused by Xu You, and it was also related to the future of all his subordinates, so this was the source of the title.
As for Xu You.
He also felt a little headache, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to bring Xu You back to Chang'an.
Now Liu Qi has come to the table and is preparing to become king.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, after he is crowned king, Liu Bei and others who are ruling various parts of the Central Plains will definitely take the opportunity to establish themselves as kings.
Suffice it to say, it's a mess.
The Central Plains, which was already surging with undercurrents, will have another dispute.

Perhaps this is also the time for them to decide the winner.
"Lord" While Cao Cao was thinking about this, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also rushed over after being informed by the guards.
"Zhicai, Wenruo, you are here," Cao Cao said after coming back from his thoughts.
There seemed to be a trace of relief in his tone, as if all worries had ceased to exist with the arrival of Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu.
"I wonder why my lord called me here," Xi Zhicai asked with some confusion.
Xun Yu also looked at Cao Cao with confusion.
They were all arranging for Cao Cao to be crowned king, and there should be nothing major happening now.
As for the other princes who heard the news and made no movement at all, they all knew why the princes did not make any movement.
It could be said that they would not make any move before Cao Cao officially made him king.
Moreover, he will quietly wait for Cao Cao to be crowned king, so that the princes can make plans.
Therefore, they will not worry about the affairs of the princes.
However, Cao Cao called the two of them here at this time, and when they came in, seeing Cao Cao's expression, they could also think that something happened that they didn't know about, and it was not an ordinary thing.
"Take a look."
Cao Cao didn't say much, and directly handed the memorial sent by Liu Qi's blood-clad guards to Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu.
Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also took the memorial handed over by Cao Cao with expressions of confusion and began to watch it.
This look.
Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, who had originally looked confused, had other expressions on their faces.
It turned into a look of astonishment, and there was also a look of surprise in his eyes.
"This, this" Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu didn't know where to start.
When they asked Cao Cao to make him king, they knew something would happen and what the princes would have planned, but they never thought it would happen.
In a situation like Liu Qi's, he was not prepared to take advantage of anything, so he just made his stance clear and made his attitude public.
This also made it difficult for them to react for a while.
"You read that right, this is exactly the memorial sent by Liu Qi, and it was sent directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not the imperial palace.
When I proclaim the king, I will proclaim myself the King of Han in Yizhou," Cao Cao said seriously.
Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also calmed down their emotions and looked at each other.
They knew that after Cao Cao was crowned king, the other princes would also use this to establish themselves as kings, so they chose the attitude of beheading first and reporting later.
However, Liu Qi did not do this.
Instead, he made it public directly and chose to become king in Yizhou at the same time as Cao Cao.
This was beyond their expectations.
They never expected Liu Qi to make such a choice.
You must know that although the Han Dynasty regime existed in name only, without an imperial edict, Liu Qi still insisted on proclaiming himself king in Yizhou, which was a treasonous and unethical existence.
Liu Qi would certainly not have imagined such consequences.
However, Liu Qi did it anyway.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that when Liu Qi sent someone to deliver the memorial, he never considered whether they would agree or not.
He just expressed an attitude.
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, whether there was an imperial edict or not, Liu Qi would become king in Yizhou that day. .
"What do you think, lord?"
Xi Zhicai asked.
Xun Yu also looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, however, showed no hesitation, grinned and said: "Since I have sent the memorial, I will mention it to His Majesty tomorrow morning, so what?"
