Chapter 173 In summary, you Dong Cheng are a rebel!
Lu Yan said that he had evidence to prove that the imperial edict was false. Dong Cheng and the emperor felt that it was simply unbelievable...
Lu Yan walked up to Dong Cheng and said, "General Dong, you got the blood edict from the jade belt given to you by His Majesty, right?"
"You...! How did you know?!" Dong Cheng's eyes slowly widened, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "Could it be... that he has been spying on me?!"
Lu Yan just replied in an indifferent tone, "If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself."
When Lu Yan said this, Liu Xie's face felt slightly hot. He always felt that Lu Yan's words seemed to have other meanings.
Seeing that Dong Cheng had been beaten to the punch by him, Lu Yan continued to throw out the bombshell: "But, Abbot, have you ever thought that this blood edict did not come from your majesty, but from another person?"
Under the guidance of Lu Yan, Dong Cheng's thinking naturally thought of his daughter who was "careful and thoughtful"...
But in order to protect his daughter, Dong Cheng must try his best to put aside the relationship.
He tore off the bloody edict, spread it out in his hands, and showed it to everyone: "Impossible! This is clearly His Majesty's handwriting! Look at it, all of you, look carefully. This is clearly His Majesty's handwriting!"
The ministers all saw the contents of the blood edict, and their eyes suddenly glanced at Liu Xie... making Liu Xie very embarrassed now.
Fortunately, the focus of the current problem is not on Liu Xie. Although he is quite embarrassed, he can at least hold his nerve. At this time, he did not dare to speak, only to see how Lu Yan wanted to deal with it next.
Lu Yan took the blood edict from Dong Cheng and said: "People's handwriting can be imitated. If people close to you want to imitate it, it will be even easier."
"People close to me???" The ministers immediately thought of Dong Cheng's daughter, Concubine Dong Guifei, and started talking one after another.
Dong Cheng was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately jumped up, pointed at Lu Yan and shouted angrily: "Impossible! Who dares to forge His Majesty's handwriting!!!"
"Who?" Lu Yan chuckled and said, "Abbott, you should know better than me about who faked His Majesty's handwriting, right?!"
Xun Yu and Xun You looked at each other and asked in disbelief: "Is it really Concubine Dong Guifei?"
"No way...would Concubine Dong Gui be so scheming?"
"Look again!"
"..."
"Lu Yan, don't even think about slandering someone and setting up a frame of reference!" Dong Cheng was furious. He wished he could cut Lu Yan into pieces right now...but he couldn't beat him.
Lu Yan looked at Dong Cheng's blood-red eyes and suddenly felt that he was just a victim of Liu Xie's ambition. Although Dong Cheng himself was not small in ambition, he was just a poor worm who was sacrificed.
Lu Yan suddenly felt a little bored, and thought to himself: "Well, what's the point of worrying about such a trivial matter... It's better to solve the problem early and go back to drink two glasses of wine and take a nap."
So, Lu Yan went straight to the point and asked: "Dong Cheng, Yuan Shao instructed you to assassinate the Prime Minister and His Majesty and create chaos. Do you admit it or not?"
"Hmph!" Dong Cheng snorted disdainfully, Shabi will admit it only after the evidence has been burned!
"As far as Lu knows, in the jade belt given to you by His Majesty, in addition to the blood edict, there is also a secret letter about someone's affair with Yuan Shao, is that correct?"
Dong Cheng was so frightened by Lu Yan's words that he said calmly on the surface: "Lu Qiaoqi, although you have a high and powerful position, you have to speak with evidence, right? I have already produced the blood edict, how do you prove it?"
Is it fake? How to prove that the jade belt still has a secret message?"
"Want evidence?" Lu Yan smiled, then pulled out a two-thirds burned piece of silk from his sleeve, handed it to Dong Cheng and said: "Concubine Dong wrote to you to state that she conspired with Yuan Shao.
Secret message, do you want to take a closer look?"
Dong Cheng suddenly heard Lu Yan announce the name of Concubine Dong Guifei. When he saw the small piece of silk, his heart tightened and he quickly denied it: "Impossible!"
"Impossible?" Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What's impossible? Why don't you take a look first and then talk about it?"
Dong Cheng snatched the charred silk silk and examined it carefully. He was suddenly shocked to find that it was indeed the handwriting of his daughter Dong Guifei, and a small part of the content on it was exactly the same as what he had seen before!
"Impossible! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Dong Cheng shook his head in denial in a panic, and said with great shock: "I have obviously burned this letter to ashes, how could a small part of it appear in Lu Yan's hands?
?”
Gu Qi
People's cognition can sometimes cause self-doubt. For example, just now you have closed the door and locked it, but after a while you will doubt whether you have really locked the door.
Lu Yan continued to ask: "What's impossible? Is it possible that I will frame you again?"
Dong Cheng suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Yan, saying fiercely: "Yes! You are framing me! You are framing me!"
"Then how do you explain the content of this letter? This is clearly the handwriting of your daughter Dong Guifei!"
"Impossible!" Dong Cheng was confused by Lu Yan's pressing step by step, and he could only instinctively shout "impossible".
Lu Yan took a step forward and faced Dong Cheng with huge pressure, "Tell me! How do you explain this secret letter!!"
"Impossible!!!" Dong Cheng began his final struggle under pressure, "I watched the secret letter completely burn to ashes..."
"Oh!" As soon as the words came out, an uproar broke out among the ministers again!
Suddenly, rebuke and condemnation of Dong Cheng came from all directions in the west.
"Well, Dong Cheng! Your Majesty and the Prime Minister treat you well. Why did you have an affair with Yuan Shao and harm your Majesty and the Prime Minister?!"
"So you really conspired with Yuan Shao? I feel really embarrassed for you!"
"It is not a pity to die for a guy who eats the inside and outside!!"
Facing the condemnation of the ministers, Dong Cheng's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and his mouth trembled as he repeated, "It's over...it's all over!"
After being found guilty of having an affair with Yuan Shao and murdering the emperor and the prime minister, not only Dong Cheng himself was finished, but his daughter Dong Guifei was also finished. It can even be said that Dong Cheng's entire family was finished...
However, Dong Cheng calmed down under the huge blow.
The piece of silk he took out from Lu Yan's sleeve in front of him brought him deep doubts, "I obviously watched it burn out with my own eyes before, why did it happen..."
Thinking of this, Dong Cheng suddenly froze. After two breaths, his breathing suddenly became heavier. At this moment, Dong Cheng finally came to his senses, "My mother, I have fallen into a trap!!!"
Dong Cheng raised his right hand and pointed at Lu Yan tremblingly, "Lu Yan! You f*cking tricked me!!!"
Lu Yan put his hands behind his back and replied expressionlessly: "I said, if you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself!
Concubine Dong Guifei secretly colluded with Yuan Shao and tried to use you to assassinate His Majesty or the Prime Minister to create chaos.
Whether his Majesty or the Prime Minister dies, Cao Ying will definitely fall into chaos. Of course, if they die together, the result will definitely be better.
As long as Cao's camp is in chaos, he, Yuan Shao, can send his troops south to fish in troubled waters, and your Dong family can also seize chestnuts from the fire and dominate the court from now on!"
Lu Yan was totally right!
"This Lu Yan...could he be a ghost?" Dong Cheng stared at Lu Yan, as if he saw a ferocious-looking devil.
Lu Yan had made it very clear about the content of the secret letter in front of everyone before.
Dong Cheng, under Lu Yan's pressing step by step and under extreme pressure, had already admitted the existence of the secret letter in disguise.
The crime of having an affair with Yuan Shao was proven, so it didn't matter whether the emperor's blood edict was true or false.
Anyway, all of this can be said to be a secret deal and conspiracy between the Dong family and Yuan Shao in order to subvert the court!
Not only the prince suit, Wu Shuo and others were confused, even Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had black question marks on his head.
"Who can tell me what is going on now?" He obviously wanted to kill Cao Cao and regain control of the court, but why did Dong Cheng turn out to be having an affair with Yuan Shao, intending to assassinate him, Liu Xie, and Cao Cao?
Liu Xie's mind couldn't help but think of the usually gentle, considerate and considerate woman, "Concubine Dong Gui...?"
