Dong Cheng heard the words "Oops, ouch!" and climbed up to Liu Xie who was sitting behind the desk. He held Liu Xie's knees and said with concentration: "My body is not upright and my reputation is not good. Your Majesty wants me to wait at the critical moment."
If you can do something for the emperor, you must have something convincing!"
"Yes! What the abbot said makes sense, but how can I really make you live upright and have a good reputation?" Liu Xie completely stepped into Dong Cheng's conspiracy with both feet.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Dong Cheng said as he tore open his belt, took out a document, handed it to Liu Xie and said: "This is the secret edict drafted by the minister and the declaration of righteousness jointly signed by us, please Your Majesty
Check it out!"
Liu Xie said "Oh!", took the document from Dong Cheng's hand, read it carefully, and said: "The abbot has thought carefully about it, but..."
"Your Majesty, a woman's kindness will cause harm for thousands of years. I may be a little harsh in my words, but you should be prepared..."
Dong Cheng interrupted Liu Xie's words, looked at him eagerly, and repeatedly emphasized that this was just a "prepared thing!" and was not something that was necessarily used to harm someone.
Liu Xie took the edict and the petition, pondered for a long time, finally sighed and nodded in agreement.
Just as he stood up and was about to pick up the jade seal on the desk and stamp it, Dong Cheng stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, this is just a draft by a minister. Please write another blood edict to explain our identity and rectify our status!"
"Ah, why the blood edict?" Liu Xie turned to look at Dong Cheng and asked.
"Your Majesty does not know that this seal is of no small importance. It is inevitable that someone will criticize you in the future if you use the pen and ink that I drafted. To show that this is an edict that the Emperor is determined and extremely cautious about, I suggest that you use the Emperor's dragon blood to write it so that you can use it in the future."
Only then can we convince the public and reflect the majesty of this edict!"
"Oh... well, let's just follow the father-in-law's direction!"
Liu Xie turned his head, stretched out his hand, half-closed his eyes, and let Dong Cheng skillfully prick his right index finger, and began to copy the sample of the imperial edict drafted by Dong Cheng.
When the imperial doctor Ji Ping applied a bandage to stop the bleeding, Dong Cheng, who was waiting for the blood to dry, leaned over the desk with excitement and carefully reviewed every word on Liu Xie's blood edict.
When he was satisfied and ready to put it away, Liu Xie suddenly thought of something and asked worriedly: "The emperor and everyone should remember that this thing cannot be easily shown to others. It can only be used when needed from time to time! What if...
"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will swear to death to keep this secret. In fact, I don't want to use this thing. I now hide the blood-written secret edict in my belt, and will not take it out until necessary to kill the rebellious officials and traitors...
."
"Ah! This...this...the king has thought carefully, I feel relieved..."
"I will never give up for your Majesty..." Amidst the chorus of shouts under Liu Xie's writing, the prelude to the bloody Xudu was kicked off by Dong Cheng and others.
Then Liu Xie gave the chariot and cavalry generals and the head of state Dong Cheng the power to restrain Cao Zhi when necessary. Even under Dong Cheng's hard work, Dong Cheng still had the power of life and death against rebellious officials and traitors.
Seeing Dong Cheng and others leaving, Emperor Xian Liu Xie stood with his hands behind his back, pondered for a while, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed: "I hope, I hope all loyal ministers, I hope that Doctor Cao, you won't make it too difficult for me...
####### Dong Cheng, who was sitting in the sedan chair with the "Edict on Clothes and Belts" on his belt, was so happy that he felt dizzy along the way as if he had drunk four ounces of soju, and he was still in the mist and didn't even know it.
What thoughts were running through my mind? How could Dong Cheng not be happy when he saw that the most difficult enemy to defeat had a magic weapon that could kill him!
Dong Cheng then summoned Wang Zifu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhongji, the captain of Changshui School, Wu Shuo, the Yilang, Wu Zilan, the general of Zhaoxin, Ji Ping, the imperial doctor, Zhao Yan, the Yilang and Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, at his residence that night.
The hostages, representatives of his youngest son Ma Tie, and Sun Ce sent liaisons and others to jointly plot a plan to remove Cao Cao.
After this meeting, Dong Cheng decided to start as soon as possible and eradicate Cao Zhi and his gang members with lightning speed before the news was leaked.
When Dong Cheng and several half-awake anti-Cao allies first talked about how to kill Cao's party, they were still very enthusiastic. They even puffed up their chests, nodded their heads, and smiled with smiles on their faces.
Baguan said: "Yes, yes, it should be killed, it should be killed!"
After a while, when Dong Cheng gently mentioned the specific date, steps and respective responsibilities of the attack on Cao, Zhao Yan and others tried their best to put on a gentle and approachable smile, and began to spare no effort to "express their own opinions"
.
Although Dong Cheng had great ambitions and united a group of important officials inside and outside the court, these people either had their own ideas, or they were too upright to pull ten oxen. These people were all pretentious people with a bit of a donkey temper.
If you just go along with it, no matter what, if you insist on being tough and being arrogant, these people will definitely not tolerate you. If you are arrogant, I will be more arrogant than you! Maybe this is the character of a capable person.
When Dong Cheng discussed the specific steps and details, it was difficult for everyone to reach a common pace. After discussing for a long time, he didn't even come up with a specific action date and specific action steps.
Individually, this group of people seemed to be arrogant talents. If they were reluctantly brought together, a lot of problems were exposed. Not to mention that each of them was headstrong, Dong Cheng could not completely convince them. He often offended them again after taking care of them.
this.
These talented people with character are all out-and-out idiots. They all think very highly of themselves and think "I am the best in the world". Why should I listen to you? They usually don't take others seriously.
Although they only have a little bit of ink and cultivation, they are absolutely arrogant. Everyone thinks that what they say is reasonable, but Dong Cheng cannot deter them. Dong Cheng's first meeting to defeat Cao,
In this way, it unfolded among people who seemed to be scattered.
Finally, Dong Cheng considered asking Liu Bei and other important figures who were not in the capital to sign the document for the joint attack on Cao, so he gave up coordinating the opinions of all parties. He believed that he still had plenty of time to plan for Cao.
.
Four days later, when Liu Bei, the shepherd of Yuzhou, received the "Declaration of Justice" from Dong Cheng, he was stunned for a moment. Then, after his thoughts lingered on the dim wick for a long time, he also signed the "Declaration of Justice".
This was probably the stupidest thing Liu Bei did in his life, and it was also the most hasty and wrong decision he made under an uncertain situation.
Although Liu Bei had acquired a large territory in Xuzhou with the help of Cao Zhi at this time, his power had extended to Guangling, and he was vaguely returning to the situation before Xiapi was occupied by Lu Bu. The only issue he was thinking about at this time was
How to get rid of Cao Zhi's restraint and supervision. He saw that Dong Cheng had already attracted Ma Teng, Sun Ce and other forces. Together, these two forces could compete with Cao Zhi. Together with him, there should be a chance to achieve success.
In addition, Liu Bei misjudged Dong Cheng's ability and thought that he could win over other princes in the world to join the crusade against Cao Zhi. Dong Cheng's chance of success in overthrowing Cao Zhi was still very high, so he was in a hurry
He joined the Cao Cao attack group initiated by Dong Cheng, but he didn't know that this group of pretentious people in the capital existed like a pile of loose sand.
But just a few days after Liu Bei sent out the signed petition, terrible news came back from Xu Du.
#######The decorations on the Golden Palace have not changed for thousands of years, and the officials who went to court have not changed. The sun outside Zhaoyang Palace is bright, the golden season is bright, the air is indescribably fresh, everything looks like that
Beautiful, but Xun Yu really felt a murderous intent, a murderous intent condensed from the hatred of countless people. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly appeared in front of Xun Yu and brought back a detailed action plan.
Just two days later, the lights of the Cao Mansion were brightly lit. Li Dian, Xu Chu, Xu Huang and other dozen Cao generals, all dressed in military uniforms, looked at Xun Yu and Jia Xu sitting in the lobby. Outside, more than forty people
The lower-level general of Cao's army had a livid face and full of murderous intent.
More and more people are gathering in Cao's mansion, but their voices are getting softer and softer, and everyone is silent. Everyone who sees this scene understands that this night is destined to be a night of killing!
Under the lobby, many generals of Cao's army stood solemnly. On both sides, dozens of large flags roared and whimpered in the night wind, as if thousands of people were crying together. The four large fire pits could hold hundreds of people.
The courtyard is brightly lit.
After looking at the time, Jia Xu suddenly strode out of the lobby and announced loudly to the generals: "Your Majesty, tonight you will ensure that everything is normal inside and outside the palace, as well as in the entire capital. No one is allowed to act without authorization without the Lord's order."
!”
"As you command!"
After Jia Xu gave a series of specific orders, more than a dozen Cao Jun generals stepped forward to receive the tiger talisman tokens for troop mobilization, turned around and left. "Dede, get!" The sound of horse hooves could be heard both inside and outside the Cao Mansion, but there was no sound.
Anyone who asks why is this!
These are all direct descendants of Cao Zhi, and they are also the backbone of the Cao family's military group. They have always only carried out the orders given to their lord Cao Zhi, for no reason! Even if it means death!
But after the generals left the Cao Mansion and before the army was dispatched, Jia Xu said to the room without knowing anything, "Everything will trouble General Le. My lord hopes that there won't be too much fanfare before he returns to Beijing!"
"
"clear!"
Following a brief word, a not-so-tall figure walked out of the house. This man was dressed in black. It was very different from the military uniforms of Li Dian and others just now, but he was also an important general under Cao Zhi's account.
——Le Jin.
Many people are now calling Le Jin "the spy chief" in private, and looking at his attire, he does look like he is preparing for a night trip. Cao Zhi secretly transferred Le Jin back to Xudu in order to show him and his subordinates' abilities.
His specialty is that before he returns to Xudu, he secretly solves a few people who want to stab him in the back, so as to serve as a warning to the monkeys and make some people who don't know the rules of heaven and earth restrain themselves.
