Many of these people were a little uneasy at first, but now that it was said, they couldn't care less. Each one was filled with righteous indignation and relisted everything they had heard about Cao Zhi in the past half of his life, spread it, and recorded it in the annals of history.
Anyone who can catch the pigtails will be charged with Cao Zhi.
Later, he directly and boldly suggested that Cao Zhi should be immediately dismissed from office and investigated, executed in Ling Chi, the whole family beheaded, the nine tribes should be annihilated, etc... For a while, the words in the imperial study were fierce, everyone's face was red, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
It has risen to the level of "not killing Cao Zhi is not enough to clear the emperor's side, not killing Cao Zhi is not enough to make the people angry."
As everyone talked, Emperor Liu Xie's face became more and more serious, and his eyes became more and more cold. He lowered his head, making no sound, and just listened quietly.
This time the ministers jointly impeached something strange... I really didn't expect it... Ah, no wonder Concubine Dong... Sigh...
Liu Xie thought for a moment, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed, "Well! Maybe, they are all for my own good..."
The noisy playing sounds in Liu Xie's ears gradually faded away, followed by his thoughts, and the overwhelming sound of war drums seemed to have broken through the silence in Liu Xie's ears, demonstrating his youthful ambition.
Liu Xie is already an adult. He has suffered more than ordinary teenagers to grow up to where he is today. His state of mind may be very different from ordinary teenagers. But at the same time, he is also a normal person with longing for the future.
A young man. At the same time, he is still an emperor. Although he does not expect to achieve great achievements like his ancestors, he still yearns to get rid of all the constraints, set foot in Kyushu, be proud, and gallop freely in his own world, and he
Behind him were thousands of troops.
However, Liu Xie's special experience did not turn out to be a blessing in disguise, making him a more resolute character than ordinary people. Instead, it made him an indecisive and less majestic king. In general, Liu Xie's ears were particularly soft.
He is always trying to cater to others and has no more imperial thoughts that he should have.
Dong Chengqing's words of calling "Your Majesty" entered Liu Xie's ears again, bringing Liu Xie back to reality. Liu Xie, who came back to his senses, immediately felt that the world was still filled with the atmosphere of the coming rain and the storm.
Extremely depressing.
Liu Xie's eyes showed extremely complicated emotions, which disappeared in a flash. Just when he was about to clear his throat and say something, Dong Cheng, who was best at understanding Liu Xie's thoughts, knew that Liu Xie had already wanted to avoid these accusations against Cao Zhi.
Before Liu Xie could speak, Dong Cheng hurriedly said loudly: "Those who are traitors humiliate their ancestors first and then themselves. Even though they have been punished for hundreds of generations, criticism is not enough. The sun and the moon are shining brightly, and the people's hearts are like mirrors. You should be careful and self-reflective!"
Dong Cheng's words shocked Liu Xie, who was about to blurt it out. Dong Cheng's words were not only admonishing Liu Xie, but also educating him in the tone of an elder. Although these words did not serve as a warning, they also made Liu Xie
He stopped speaking in defense of Cao Zhi, and his thoughts were suddenly brought back to the tragic death of his mother when he was young and the various sufferings he experienced in his short life.
At this time, a weak, slightly old voice sounded in Liu Xie's ears again: "Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by some people's hypocrisy. He cared about you so much before and just wanted to get a high-ranking official from you."
, title, now that he controls the government and monopolizes power, how can he care as much as before? "
After Dong Cheng finished speaking, he paid close attention to Liu Xie's facial expression. When he caught a trace of hesitation on Liu Xie's face, he smiled with satisfaction. Indeed, Cao Zhi was busy with complicated government affairs and busy military affairs and wars in various places.
, the concern for Liu Xie is much less than before. Even when he was on an expedition, he could not see Liu Xie for several months. Emotionally, the two of them have become somewhat alienated recently.
Dong Cheng immediately grasped this point and first cut through Liu Xie's defense line to protect Cao Zhi, "Your Majesty, please tell me the truth. Now Cao Sima comes to you just to ask for the imperial edict or to reward someone, so why should you care so much?
Other than the Emperor’s?”
Dong Cheng paused again after speaking, and noticed the flash of approval on Liu Xie's face. With a smile on his lips, he continued: "Your Majesty, don't forget Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng, Li Le, etc.
People are polite to the emperor before they get what they want, but what happens after that?... The emperor is still young and doesn’t know many people. There are differences between people, and some people’s bad sides are revealed.
Soon, some people can hide for a long time, but by the time the emperor notices it, it may be too late..."
Then Dong Cheng opened his heart and recalled to Liu Xie Dong Zhuo's good governance, forcing Chang'an, Li Jue, and Guo Si chasing Liu Xie into Dayang, etc. Liu Xie immediately let go of all the hardships he had suffered since he ascended the throne.
Liu Xie felt it vividly in his mind. Dong Cheng couldn't help but burst into tears when he mentioned the emotional point. Following Dong Cheng's words, Liu Xie's thoughts became more and more sad. Finally, he choked up with Dong Cheng, and other courtiers also
He kept wiping his tears with his sleeves.
At this time, Dong Cheng made a timely suggestion, "Your Majesty, I believe that excessive concentration of power is always a disaster. No matter whether Cao Sima has the intention to usurp the throne or not, the Emperor should have made plans for himself and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty."
Make plans...Does the Emperor still have to wait until the days of panic like before before he thinks of ways to think of ways...Isn't it too late..."
Dong Cheng's sincere words, coupled with a little threat, immediately made Liu Xie's expression change.
Liu Xie was indeed most afraid of the kind of panic that Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng and others would bring to him. At that time, Liu Xie was desperate several times and even lost his country. It didn't matter.
The depressing thought of just saving his life. After what he experienced, Liu Xie became afraid. He never wanted to feel that way again or live that kind of life again.
Now that Dong Cheng had touched his sore spot very well, he couldn't help but want to compromise on the idea that he was originally very resistant to. Liu Xie thought to himself: "What my father-in-law said makes sense. One person's power is too strong. Indeed,
It will encourage his ambition to expand. Although Dr. Cao said that he treated me very differently from Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others, now that Dr. Cao is in a high position, he has indeed changed a lot. As long as I do not harm Dr. Cao
As a premise, it’s just that at the critical moment, someone can stop Dr. Cao from doing irrational things!”
Liu Xie was not yet at an age where he could hide his thoughts well. Looking at the expression on Liu Xie's face, Dong Cheng had already guessed Liu Xie's intention to compromise. He was well prepared for what he said today. Through his own and
The daughter figured out Liu Xie's thoughts, figured out his character, prescribed the right medicine, analyzed step by step, and lured Liu Xie into his trap.
When Liu Xie just opened his mouth and said "This!", Dong Cheng knelt down and looked up at Liu Xie with a righteous face and said: "If your Majesty believes in me, I will serve as the emperor's front soldiers, and I will do it for you."
It is not a pity for the Emperor to bear this eternal infamy, and I will wait for death. However, if some ambitious people are allowed to continue to commit chaos, commit crimes, cholera, and shake the country, with the Emperor's precautions, we can
Turn the tide at the critical moment and protect the emperor and the country for thousands of years!"
After listening to Dong Cheng's words, Liu Xie's blood surged up on his face. He was even more sure that Dong Cheng and others were not targeting Cao Zhi. They just wanted to protect my country and the country.
This is Dong Cheng's brilliance again. He has never seriously mentioned that he must punish Cao Zhi for any crime, or how he must be punished now. Dong Cheng has not done anything even now.
Mention the name of Cao Zhi. He is different from Zhao Yan and others who are full of righteous indignation. He has been guiding Liu Xie in the direction of preventing the future, which is the direction that Liu Xie can accept and agree with.
But when Liu Xie was led by Dong Cheng to compromise, he immediately dodged Dong Chengshuoshuo's eyes with a guilty conscience, and sighed: "This matter... this... still needs... whether it needs to be discussed in the long term... um... Cao
The doctor has done a lot for me now, and he has not done anything evil to me...ahem..."
Liu Xie realized that he had a very close relationship with Dr. Cao, and he had to guard against people who treated him like family members. Liu Xie had some concerns in his heart.
Dong Cheng looked at Liu Xie, who had no confidence in his defense and had evasive eyes. He had already determined that Liu Xie was still struggling in the end. Of course, he was not satisfied with the breakthrough he had made.
So Dong Cheng continued to work hard and suddenly cried loudly, crying and crying: "Ah! It would be good if the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were as harmonious as they are today. How could the emperor be bullied by some traitors? But he is afraid of loyal people like us.
Every righteous man was slowly expelled from the court like Yang Gong, and was forced to leave the emperor's side. If anything happens to the emperor, it will cause the sky to respond, and the earth will not respond. It's a shame that we people are so empty-handed.
They are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but they can only watch the emperor and the Han Dynasty decline from then on. How can I make the ministers willing..."
"Your Majesty, please think twice..."
At this time, several other people in the Imperial Study Room followed Dong Cheng and began to scream in agony, crying so miserably.
Liu Xie burst into tears when he heard this, and became even more certain that these people were for his own good and were the true ministers of humerus around him.
Dong Cheng cried for a while and then said: "I don't want to harm Cao Sima, but I just hope that when he does something wrong and the emperor is bullied, he can have the power to correct his mistakes and protect the emperor. Your Majesty, don't look at me.
We are now single and weak, but I have already contacted the emperor's uncle Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Ma Teng in Guanzhong, Sun Ce in Jiangdong and other powerful groups to guard loyal ministers and generals in various places. Once someone wants to harm the emperor, we can come to the capital to Qinwang.
We have enough strength, but what we lack now is integrity!"
"Correct your body?" Liu Xie was puzzled for a while and finally said, "What does the abbot mean by rectifying your body? I know you are all loyal ministers, but what do you want me to do?"
