Fan Pu left. At this time, Xi Lu, the imperial censor, also rushed to Cao Pi's study. Xi Lu had always been Cao Cao's confidant.

Xi Lu also served as the royal censor, guessing Cao Cao's intentions and demoting court officials. The most famous one was when Xi Lu impeached Kong Rong for slandering the court, with evil intentions, and Kong Rong was killed.

At this time, although Xi Lu and Hua Xin both held the position of imperial censor, they were still different. Xi Lu was the imperial censor of the imperial court and had the power to supervise the court, while Hua Xin was the imperial censor of Wei.

Although the real power is in the hands of Hua Xin, Xi Lu's duty is to monitor the courtiers for Cao Cao. To deal with Fu Wan, Xi Lu must come forward.

Cao Pi and the two men were discussing countermeasures in the official room. After the ambush tonight, they would raise their troops and start an uprising. Cao Pi also decided not to wait any longer. At this time, Xi Lu asked cautiously: "Does the eldest son have Wei Gong's wishes?"

Cao Pi understood what Xi Lu meant. This matter was of great importance. He asked him not to act without permission and to get his father's permission. Cao Pi nodded and said, "My father told me about this matter before leaving for the expedition and asked me to act according to the situation.

In times of crisis, you can use the power of thunder to take precautions before they happen."

"Does it have the right to mobilize troops?" Xi Liu continued to ask.

Cao Pi took out two gold medals and said with a smile: "One is the order for the forbidden army in the palace, and the other is the order for the transfer of the guards in Beicheng. My father has already thought about it for me."

Xi Liu nodded and smiled: "In that case, I have nothing to worry about."

Cao Pi asked Hua Xin again, "What do you think of Ziyu?"

Hua Xin said slowly: "What I mean is that the evidence must be conclusive and the case should be confirmed. Since Fu Wan has raised three thousand private troops, then we should convict Fu Wan of conspiracy and rebellion. The eldest son and the minor ministers can only

In a word, the struggle for power has always been a matter of life and death, and the Prime Minister would never want to see the eldest son acting like a woman at this time."

Cao Pi was shocked, he nodded, and said resolutely: "You are right, I will never let my father down again, so we will divide our troops into three groups. I will personally lead the army to annihilate the private army outside the city, and Ziyu will lead the army."

The army surrounded Fu's mansion and captured Fu's queen. Hongyu then entered the palace to capture Fu's queen."

........

As night gradually fell, in a farm covering an area of ​​several hundred acres outside Yedu City, three thousand soldiers were already assembled. These three thousand soldiers were private soldiers raised by Fu Wan and had been hiding in Lu County until

Recently, they have arrived in Yedu in batches one after another, and are now led by Fu Wan's eldest son Fu Dian.

Fudian was about forty years old and was appointed as the captain of the Tun Cavalry School. He firmly supported his father's concept of loyalty to the emperor and also supported this operation. They had been planning this operation for a year and gained Lujun, Taishan, and Peiguo in the local areas.

Waiting for the support of the four counties, there were 10,000 troops in Lu County at the same time.

Tonight they will rush into the palace to rescue Emperor Liu Xie and Queen Fu, and send them to Lu County overnight, where they will rebuild the Han Dynasty, and then call on the governors of the world to rush to Mount Tai to kill King Qin Cao.

Although Fu Dian also knew that this move was very difficult, now was their only chance. Cao Cao was fighting in Jingzhou, and Liu Jing was restraining the main force of 200,000 in Guanzhong and Longxi. There were only 30,000 troops in the capital. If they move quickly, then in

Cao's army was able to break out of the encirclement before it was mobilized. If they did not seize this opportunity, they would regret it too late.

The army has been assembled, and Fu Dian is waiting for news from the capital. They will enter Yedu from the East City. Liu Ying, the gatekeeper in charge of the East City Gate, is also one of their people. The time is gradually approaching Haishi, and the appointed time has arrived. At this time, Fan Pu rides a horse

He rushed over, clasped his fists towards Fudian and said, "Sir, the city has been prepared. Fugong ordered you to send out troops!"

Fu Dian nodded, and the moment finally came. He drew his sword and turned around and ordered: "Give me my order, set off and march towards Yedu!"

In the dark, groups of soldiers set off in formation. They were brightly armored, holding spears and knives in their hands. They were full of murderous intent. Under the leadership of Fudian, they left the farm and marched along the official road toward the east gate of Yedu.

go.

.......

The gatekeeper guarding the east city was named Liu Ying. He was about thirty years old and was the son of Liu Jin, King of Laiyang. Liu Jin had a close relationship with Fu Wan. The reason why Fu Wan received the support of the governors of the four counties in Shandong was also related to Liu Jin. Han Dynasty

Most of the clan members live at home or are scattered in various counties. There are very few people who command the army in the capital, and Liu Ying is one of them.

Liu Ying and Fu Dian have made arrangements. He will be on duty in the east city tonight, and Fu Dian will raise his troops tonight. Liu Ying has 500 people under his command. After letting Fu Dian enter the city, he will have to rush there.

Fu Mansion, escort Fu Wan and his family out of the city.

It was almost Haishi, and in half an hour, Fu Dian would arrive with his army. Liu Ying was quite nervous. He stood at the top of the city and looked to the northeast. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind him.

He was startled, and when he looked back, he saw a large number of troops suddenly appeared at the top of the city. He was immediately surprised, what was going on?

A large group of soldiers escorted two generals in armor and helmets. One of them was Xia Houheng, the eldest son of Xia Houyuan, the general of the North City Guards. The other made Liu Ying's heart fall into the abyss. The general beside Xia Houheng was exactly

Cao Pi.

Cao Pi, wearing armor and holding a sword in hand, walked up and said coldly: "What are General Liu waiting for?"

Liu Ying stepped forward and saluted, "I'm not waiting for anything. I'm patrolling the city gate."

"Humph! You are waiting for Fu Dian!"

Liu Ying's face changed drastically. He knew that the matter had been leaked and turned around to run away. Dozens of soldiers held up their halberds to hold him back. Liu Ying's whole body became weak and he slowly sat on the ground. Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "Tie him up."

Got it!"

Several soldiers came forward and tied Liu Ying up. Cao Pi said to Xia Houheng: "Let's divide our forces below. You ambush below the city while I wait on the city. Let's catch this big fish together!"

"Follow the order!"

Xia Houheng led 10,000 Beicheng guards and rushed out of the city. Cao Pi walked to the battlements, looked at the dark night, and said to himself coldly: "You rats who overestimate your capabilities, suffer death!"

...........

Fu Mansion is located in the middle of Yedu. It is a large house covering an area of ​​50 acres. Fu Wan was the late emperor's consort and the current emperor of the country. He had a high status in the court. In fact, as early as the Dong Cheng incident in the fourth year of Jian'an, he was also

Among the participants, he was cautious and only contacted Dong Cheng secretly. After Dong Cheng was executed, he escaped.

And this time was his last attempt when he was nearly sixty years old. No matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would go down in history and leave his name for generations. He was unwilling to die in obscurity. He was obsessed with gaining a posthumous reputation, even at the expense of others.

He used his family as a bet, knowing that the chance of success was extremely small, but he did it without hesitation.

At this time, the gray-haired Fu Wan was sitting in the study, silently staring at the dozen volumes of historical records on the table. He hoped that his name Fu Wan would be immortalized in the biographies of loyal ministers in later generations of Han history.

Calculating that it was time to raise the troops, Fu Wan took a deep breath and waited for that moment to arrive. But at this moment, there was the sound of rapid running outside the door, and the housekeeper reported in horror: "Master, Hua Hua

Xin led a thousand troops into the mansion, and his wife and several young men were arrested by the soldiers."

After bending down, his body shook violently, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. After a while, he slowly closed his eyes. The moment he was most worried about finally came. Cao Cao had been prepared for it, and they failed.

"Ah!" A scream came from outside the door. The housekeeper was killed outside. There was a loud bang! The door was kicked open. Dozens of soldiers rushed in and surrounded him. Dozens of spears were thrown at him.

Withstood him.

At this time, Hua Xin walked into the study with his hands behind his back, smiled sinisterly at Fu Wan and said, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu!"

Fu Wan sighed and asked calmly: "When did you know about it?"

"I won't hide it from you even now. As early as a year ago, when Liu Xie summoned you in the palace, the Prime Minister knew about it and has been waiting for today."

Fu Wan shook his head and sighed, "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. This is God's will!"

After saying that, he smiled miserably, took out a vial from his sleeve, drank the poison in the vial, fell on his back to the ground, and quietly waited for death to come.

Hua Xin walked up to him and kicked over a dozen volumes of historical records on the table. The bamboo slips were scattered all over the floor. Hua Xin smiled disdainfully and whispered in his ear: "It is true that the name of the emperor will be passed down through the ages, but not

This is a biography of loyal ministers, but a biography of traitors, I guarantee it!"

The toxicity began to attack quickly. Fu Wan's whole body twitched, and blood gurgled from the corner of his mouth. He breathed weakly and said: "With Liu Jing here...I won't be a traitor...you are!" After saying this, he closed his eyes.

and passed away,

"madman!"

Hua Xin kicked him hard and ordered: "Take everyone away!"

...........

In the palace, Emperor Liu Xiezheng of the Han Dynasty and Empress Fu were sitting and drinking. They had finished cleaning up briefly and were preparing to leave the palace with Fu Wan's army. Liu Xie seemed quite excited and drank glass after glass of wine.

He has been a puppet for so many years, and he has been looking forward to this day, when he can break away from Cao Cao's control and become a real emperor. Although there will be risks, he is willing to take such risks in order to gain freedom.

Seeing that Queen Fu looked a little worried, he smiled and said: "Queen, don't worry so much. During the rebellion between Dong Zhuo and Li Ji, we suffered ten times as much as we do now. We were displaced and precarious. Although it is a bit risky now, it is still

The best opportunity, if we don't seize this opportunity, we will regret it."

Empress Fu whispered: "I just feel that my father is not reliable in his work. Even if we escape to Lu County, can we withstand Cao Cao's massive attack?"

"You don't understand this. Now Liu Jing is marching northwest of Longxi and has contained Cao Cao's 200,000-strong army. Cao Cao himself led a 100,000-strong army to fight in Jingzhou. Moreover, I heard the news that the Jiangdong Army captured Hefei, and the Central Plains was shaken.

, it can be said that Cao Cao is worried about one thing and the other. If we don’t seize this opportunity, we will never leave in this life. Does the queen really want to be a puppet with me for the rest of her life? "

Queen Fu lowered her head and whispered: "I don't want to!"

"That's right. No one is willing. Even if I take huge risks this time, I will give it a try."

As soon as the two of them said this, an angry reprimand from a guard suddenly came from outside the palace, "Doctor Xi, what are you trying to do? This is His Majesty's palace. Are you trying to rebel by barging in with a knife?"

Liu Xie and Queen Fu looked at each other, their expressions changed with shock. Doctor Xi was Xi Lu, and he was Cao Cao's confidant. What was he doing here? They heard Xi Lu shouting outside the palace: "Fu Wan is trying to rebel. It's already happened."

He was executed, and his daughter Fu Shou was also suspected of treason and came to arrest her on the orders of the Prime Minister. Who among you dares to stop her and will be held accountable with her accomplices!"

Liu Xie just felt a "Boom!" sound in his head. After Fu was executed, it was over. The plot must have been leaked. What should we do? When Empress Fu heard that her father had been killed, she burst into tears and knelt in front of Liu Xie.
