Even Cao Cao's expression changed slightly. This big hat was pressed down. If Chen Li was really detained, dismissal would be the lightest result.
Liu Xie knew it in his heart, but on his face he glanced at Chen Li suspiciously and asked, "Did the servant do something shameful?"
"Yes, the servant actually broke the contract with these three businessmen. They traveled thousands of miles from Youzhou and Liangzhou and spent countless efforts, but in the end they got nothing. They must be dissatisfied. If
If we return to our respective states and counties and spread the news about the dishonesty of the imperial servants, won’t our Han dynasty be disgraced?” [
Liu Feng stared at Chen Li coldly and said.
"The common people don't dare to do this." Chen Xiong and others were sweating coldly and immediately bowed down.
"The mountain is always high and the emperor is far away. Only God knows whether you dare or not. Moreover, I don't intend to go into it. Even if I want to go into it, I still have to investigate the culpability of the servant. Isn't that right, Chen Aiqing?" Liu
Xie's eyes also became very cold, and he looked at Chen Li and said.
"This." At this moment, Chen Li felt very bad and couldn't answer. He really didn't know what Cao Cao's plan was, and he didn't know what happened in the middle.
"The servant is guilty, but he already knows that he was wrong. Please give the emperor a gentle punishment." Cao Cao gave Chen Li a wink, then raised his fist at Liu Xie and said.
"This." This is what is called being shot while lying down. Chen Li didn't know what happened or why. He was confused and guilty, and it was Cao Cao who said it.
He couldn't resist.
One can imagine the dissatisfaction Chen Li felt in his heart, but he could not let this dissatisfaction appear on his face, because the person who spoke was Cao Cao, a man with the power of life and death.
If he shows the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, the result will definitely be disaster.
Therefore, Chen Li could only grit his teeth, lower his head, and pray: "I know that I have sinned, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."
Chen Li was a member of Cao Cao's line, and now he made a big mistake. Logically speaking, the emperor Liu Xie should have taken the opportunity to add insult to injury and punish him heavily.
Being dismissed from your position is a minor matter, and being imprisoned is not a serious crime.
But unexpectedly, after Chen Li confessed, Liu Xie smiled slightly, as if the sky was clear after the rain, and said in a friendly manner: "It is said that knowing a mistake can correct it, there is no greater good. Since Aiqing took the initiative to plead guilty, I will naturally not punish him.
Yes. Let’s fine him one year’s salary as punishment.”
Having said this, Liu Xie paused and then warned: "You must remember this lesson and never do this again in the future."
Liu Feng was slightly stunned at first, but then he was amazed.
This is the emperor. Liu Xie can be said to be a generation of British masters, but his luck was bad. When he came to the throne, the Liu family was already very ill.
Even Liu Xie was of no help and could not turn the tide.
But even so, Liu Xie is a rare political giant with very superb skills. After all, when Liu Xie was a child, his biological mother was raped by the young emperor Liu Bian's mother, the then empress Dowager He.
kill.
At a young age, I lost my mother's blessing and grew up under He Hou's eyes full of murderous intent. Being able to grow up is already very rare.[
Liu Xie experienced a lot of dangers and disputes in the court since he was a child.
Coupled with Dong Zhuo's rebellion and Li Guo's rebellion, Liu Xie's growth was astonishing.
