The Golden Palace
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
The heavy palace gates slowly opened.
Civil and military officials filed in.
The atmosphere today is unusually eerie.
Fu Wan walked in the group, his back ramrod straight.
He still had that empty jade belt tucked into his arms.
His eyes were fervent, and he frequently exchanged glances with Ma Teng and the others beside him.
The meaning is quite clear:
"Stay calm."
"There's a big show today."
"General Zhao said that it should be said publicly."
"Let's wait for General Zhao's signal!"
Ma Teng also looked excited.
I thought:
Zhao Yu is truly a genius!
At that time, Lü Bu only dared to make a move at the North Gate.
He actually intends to cause trouble in the imperial court!
That takes a lot of courage!
……
above the hall.
Liu Xie knelt on the throne.
His face was a little pale, and he had dark circles under his eyes.
I didn't sleep well last night.
He was worried,
Are you worried that Fu Wan didn't understand his blood letter?
Worried whether Zhao Yu delivered the tape?
This could cost you your head.
"The Prime Minister has arrived!"
Cao Cao has arrived.
He was still wearing that same bright red brocade robe.
He still brought his sword into the palace.
His steps were arrogant.
Zhao Yu followed behind.
Zhao Yu is in good spirits today; he slept well last night.
He touched the blood-written letter on his chest.
"Everyone's here."
Cao Cao nodded.
"Let's get started, clock in, meeting."
……
The morning assembly began.
Routine procedure.
Lengthy and tedious.
First, the Minister of Ceremonies reported on the arrangements for the sacrificial ceremony.
Then the Ministry of Revenue reported on the spring plowing situation.
Zhao Yu kept yawning as he listened.
Finally, it was time for the free duet segment.
Fu Wan gave Ma Teng a wink.
It means: Shouldn't we take action now?
Ma Teng shook his head: Don't rush, let's see what General Zhao does.
Then, Zhao Yu walked out from beside Cao Ren.
He stood between the civil and military officials and the emperor.
Zhao Yu.
The entire room fell silent.
All eyes were on him.
Fu Wan was so excited that his palms were sweating:
"They're here!"
"They're about to launch an attack!"
"General Zhao is about to make his move!"
Cao Cao was also taken aback.
Look back.
"Zhao Yu?"
"What are you doing?"
"Step back."
"Go back to your workstation."
Zhao Yu did not back down.
He stood in the center of the hall.
Facing Liu Xie,
He pulled the blood-written letter from his pocket.
"Prime Minister, I have an important report to give."
Zhao Yu spoke,
"It's about the company... oh no, it's about the unity within the imperial court."
Cao Cao frowned even more deeply.
Are you serious? Cao Cao still thought Zhao Yu was joking.
"What nonsense is this?"
"Get down!"
Zhao Yu shook his head.
"We can't go down there, this is urgent."
"And this was given to me by His Majesty."
"It's said to be a labor of love."
"I feel this is of great importance, and I must read it aloud in front of everyone."
"His Majesty?"
Cao Cao suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Xie.
Liu Xie's pupils dilated.
He almost slipped off the throne.
Holy crap.
Isn't that my blood oath?
How did it end up in his hands?
Shouldn't it be at Fuwan's place?
Yes, your order only instructed Zhao Yu to deliver the jade belt, not the blood letter.
Before anyone could react...
Zhao Yu has already unfurled the letter written in blood.
He cleared his throat.
Activate the [Broadcast Voice Mode].
His pronunciation was clear and accurate.
Emotions... gone.
"Cough cough."
"Listen up, everyone."
"This is a letter of opinion."
Author: Liu Xie
Zhao Yu began to read aloud:
"Since assuming the throne, I have been constantly worried and anxious!"
The entire room fell silent.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, waiting for the words "Execute the traitor Cao".
Zhao Yu continued reading, his voice already choked with emotion:
"I live deep within the palace, adorned in fine clothes and fed with delicacies. Yet, whenever I gaze beyond the palace walls, I see the Prime Minister, to pacify the realm, fighting battles in the south and north, braving wind and rain! I recall the past, the Prime Minister defeated the Yellow Turbans, captured Lü Bu, and destroyed Yuan Shu, saving the people from suffering, while I... I have nothing to repay him with but the fruits of his labor!"
"Um?"
How could the young emperor write such words?
Fu Wan's eyes widened.
It can even fit an egg in its mouth.
Zhao Yu didn't give them any time to react.
Her emotions grew stronger, and she even shed a few tears.
"Recently, I heard that the Prime Minister has been working tirelessly for the country, his temples are graying, and he is suffering from a headache. My heart is breaking! I wish I could take his place! However, the national treasury is empty, and I have nothing to reward my meritorious officials. In my desperation, I wrote this edict with a vermilion brush—"
"I hereby call upon all officials to donate six months' salary, effective immediately."
"This jade belt, along with its cash value, shall be given to the Prime Minister for military use. Anyone who disobeys will be disregarding my blood and tears, and will be cold-blooded towards the greatest meritorious official of my Han Dynasty! So be it!"
Silence, a deathly silence.
After Zhao Yu finished reading,
He turned to look at the petrified Cao Cao, and bowed with an air of righteousness:
"Prime Minister! His Majesty went so far as to bite his finger and write a letter in blood to raise money for your medical expenses."
"I was afraid you might refuse, so I specially sewed it into your jade belt and asked me to deliver it."
"This profound bond of loyalty between ruler and subject is something I dare not keep to myself; therefore, I hereby proclaim it publicly to set the record straight!"
Speak up.
Zhao Yu turned to look at Fu Wan.
"Father-in-law, were you trembling so badly just now because you were excited?"
"His Majesty has taken the lead in donating, so as the Emperor's father-in-law, it's not unreasonable for you to donate a year's salary, is it?"
Kill Cao Cao?
He's gone mad.
If Boss Cao dies,
Wouldn't that lead to complete chaos in the north?
Liu Bei and Sun Quan were overjoyed.
Even if Zhao Yu has a system, can he really transform into a Gundam?
Previously at Huarong Road, after fighting Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, he was already exhausted when facing Guan Yu.
Cao Cao meant that his men would surely rebel and seek revenge.
What's the point?!
Day by day, the stench dissipates.
They even issued an imperial edict with a jade belt.
Fu Wan's brain short-circuited.
But instinctively, he knelt down with a thud.
Great Han:
"Your Majesty is wise! Prime Minister, you have worked hard! This old minister... this old minister is willing to donate a year's salary!"
With someone taking the lead,
The others need no further explanation.
"Since it's military expenditure, I will also donate a year's salary."
"Your subject is willing to donate!"
"I will also donate!"
"Prime Minister, you have rendered great service; I will offer five hundred taels of gold!"
