These are certainly not able to completely eliminate the suspicion in Cao Cao's heart, but remember, Dong Cheng knelt on the ground and did this in public, under the eyes of everyone.
Did Cao Cao have the nerve to kill Dong Cheng? Did he have the nerve to deprive Dong Cheng of his military power? How would this chill the people in the world who wanted to defect to him? Therefore, if Liu Feng continued to use this method, Dong Cheng's life would basically be saved.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace, Your Highness." Dong Cheng bowed to Liu Feng with sincerity and bowed his head.
"I can't talk about the grace of saving my life. As the ministers just said, Dong Qing is the last barrier of the Han Dynasty. If Dong Qing is lost, the Han Dynasty will be dead. Even if Dong Qing is killed, he will not be saved. Protecting Dong Qing means protecting the orphan.
"Liu Feng shook his head when he heard this and declined Dong Cheng's thanks.[
"No matter what, your highness did save the old minister's life." Dong Cheng insisted.
"Okay, don't be like this. Time is running out. Let's talk about the next plan." The two of them spoke like this, and Liu Xie finally couldn't help it anymore and said.
Any further plans?
The ministers' eyes lit up and they looked at Liu Feng expectantly. The Crown Prince's performance today had completely overturned their impression of Liu Xie.
This is a crown prince who is full of energy and wisdom, and he is not a prodigal son.
Just now, Dong Cheng's life was saved under their noses. Naturally, they were full of expectations for the next plan Liu Xie said.
"If Dong Qing follows Gu's instructions, goes to plead guilty and surrenders his military power, he will definitely survive, and his military power will be temporarily preserved. But this will not completely make Cao Cao's suspicion go away. Therefore, a second step plan is needed. However,
Then I will feel wronged to Mr. Dong."
When Liu Feng heard this, he also knew that time was running out, so he immediately spoke.
"Daughter?" Dong Cheng's eyes flashed and he asked in surprise.
Dong Cheng cared very much about Dong Guiren's daughter. Otherwise, he would not have bet his life and fortune on Liu Xie. After all, loyalty is one thing, but being willing to sacrifice one's life is another.
Let your daughter suffer.
Dong Cheng was not only surprised, but also hesitant.
"Yes, this is necessary. After Dong Qing goes to plead guilty to Cao Cao, the father will get the news and will put Dong Guiren under house arrest. Then when Dong Guiren gives birth to Lin'er, the father will kill him to vent his anger."
Liu Feng smiled slightly and said.
This not only made Dong Cheng take a breath of air-conditioning, but even the officials also took a breath of air-conditioning and were very shocked. This crown prince actually wanted to sacrifice his younger brother?
Although he is ruthless and decisive, he is not necessarily too ruthless.
However, Liu Feng then said: "Of course, Gu's brother will not be sacrificed. Gu will find a dead baby to replace him in advance. Therefore, the noble will be wronged, but his life will not be in danger, and Lin'er will not be lost."
Liu Feng is not an idiot. Dong Cheng is very important at present, and he cannot really sacrifice Dong Guiren. Even if Dong Cheng is willing, there will definitely be trouble in the future.
If there are many internal conflicts, how can we unite as a team to deal with Cao Cao?[
Dong Cheng pleaded guilty to Jing and expressed his willingness to surrender his military power and put his son next to Cao Cao as a hostage. Then Liu Xie counterattacked, placing Dong Guiren under house arrest and killing Dong Gui's biological son.
This not only shows that Dong Cheng is sincere, but also creates a mortal enemy with Liu Xie. Cao Cao will further trust Dong Cheng. Although his suspicion will not disappear, he can still be quite trustworthy.
This was Liu Feng's entire plan, not only to save Dong Cheng's life, but also to preserve Dong Cheng's military power, and to give Dong Cheng the opportunity to make clouds and rain.
