Chapter 293: Meng De vetoes loyalty
After Cao Cao knew about Wang Kai's performance, he also asked Xun Yu to send it back.
Xun Yu reluctantly agreed.
Soon, Wang Kai's recital was presented to Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
After Liu Xie watched Wang Kai's recital, Liu Xie was also overjoyed, because Wang Kai's request to move the capital to Chang'an could just let him get rid of Cao Cao's control, and Chang'an was originally the imperial capital.
Liu Xie, who was a little excited, also summoned Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Chongji, and Wu Zilan overnight.
As the four of them came to the palace, Liu Xie said to the four of them very excitedly: "Four Aiqing, just now I received Wang Aiqing's recital, he moved the capital to Chang'an, do you think this is an opportunity for me to return to Sili?" ”
The four of them were also quite surprised when they heard this.
Immediately after, Dong Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, if Wang Zhenxi is really on the table, then we can attack Cao Cao tomorrow morning." ”
At this time, Chongji interjected: "Uncle Guo, I'm afraid that Cao thief won't agree!" ”
"It doesn't matter, if Cao Thief is unwilling to agree, then Your Majesty just took the opportunity to issue a secret edict to Wang Zhenxi."
Hearing this, Liu Xie continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the life and death of the Han Dynasty is pinned on you. ”
After hearing this, the four of them immediately replied in unison: "The ministers obey the holy order!" ”
Immediately, Liu Xie let them leave the palace.
When Cao Cao's eyeliner placed in the palace saw Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Chongji, and Wu Zilan entering the palace late at night to visit the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao's eyeliner also immediately passed on the news.
When Cao Cao learned that Liu Xie had summoned Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Chong Ji and Wu Zilan late at night, he immediately sneered: "Your Majesty really still treats me like a tiger!" ”
Immediately after, Cao Cao immediately began to dispatch troops and horses.
Subsequently, Cao Cao sent four groups of 3,000 soldiers and horses to surround the mansions of Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Chong Ji and Wu Zilan.
When the four of them returned home and learned that their mansion was surrounded by Cao Jun, their hearts were extremely flustered, but Cao Jun only surrounded it and did not rush in, because Cao Cao's purpose was to prevent the move of the capital, as long as no one in the court spoke for the Son of Heaven, the matter of moving the capital would definitely be over.
Early the next morning.
Although the court of Xudu was preparing to hold an early dynasty as usual, there was a tense atmosphere in the air, because the ministers basically knew that Cao Cao had sent troops to surround the close ministers of the Son of Heaven led by his uncle Dong Cheng.
When the ministers and Liu Xie had already arrived at the main hall, Liu Xie suddenly found that Dong Cheng, Chongji, Wang Zifu, and Wu Zilan were not present, and Cao Cao had not yet come.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xie's heart suddenly screamed badly.
At this moment, Cao Cao was late.
With Cao Cao's ascension to the court, Liu Xie asked the eunuch to announce the beginning of the early dynasty.
At the end of the court meeting, Liu Xie saw that there was no chance to move the capital if he didn't talk about it, so he finally mustered up the courage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liangzhou Shepherd King Kai asked the court to move the capital back to Chang'an, I don't know what the Aiqing wants?" ”
Hearing this, Mao Jue immediately stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, Guanzhong is already exhausted after the war, but Xu Du is not, Xu Du is already a thriving faction under Cao Sikong's governance, and the minister does not dare to agree with Wang Zhenxi's recital. ”
When Liu Xie saw that Cao Cao's close minister Mao Jue directly denied the relocation of the capital, he immediately looked at the rest of the people and asked, "Do you Aiqing still have different opinions?" ”
Hearing this, none of the ministers in the main hall spoke, because the four close ministers of the Son of Heaven led by Dong Cheng, the uncle of the country, were all surrounded by Cao's army, and most of the courtiers were inclined to Cao Cao.
When Liu Xie saw that none of the ministers spoke for him, he suddenly lamented in his heart: "I didn't expect that no one in the Manchu Dynasty was willing to speak for me!" ’
At this time, Cao Cao finally spoke: "Your Majesty, if you have nothing to do, please retreat!" ”
Liu Xie looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and finally reluctantly announced his retreat.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of the soldiers and horses surrounding Dong Cheng, Chongji, Wang Zifu and Wu Zilan.
The four Dong Cheng, who regained their freedom, also immediately entered the palace to meet Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
After Liu Xie saw Dong Cheng and them coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle Guo, where did you go this morning?" I am isolated above the court today, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty is willing to speak for me, and I am afraid that Wang Zhenxi's request to move the capital will not succeed. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister was besieged in the mansion by Cao's army last night, so he didn't go to court today."
After hearing Dong Cheng's words, Wang Zifu, Chongji and Wu Zilan also said that they were also treated the same.
When Dong Cheng heard this, he immediately guessed the reason.
Immediately after, Dong Cheng said to Liu Xiejin: "Your Majesty, Cao Thief's move is deliberate!" Presumably he must have known about our visit to the palace last night. ”
"What? Doesn't this mean that there is a thief's eyeliner in the palace! ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not far from ten."
"If that's the case, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Dong Cheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to send a secret edict to Wang Zhenxi to send troops to attack Cao Thief. ”
"But the Cao thief has completely targeted you, who should I let pass on the edict?"
Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan and Chong Ji also had a headache after hearing it.
After a few people thought about it for a while, Chongji came up with a clever plan.
Immediately after, Chong Ji said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can give an edict to all the princes, so Cao Cao must be confused. ”
When Dong Cheng heard this, he vetoed: "It's impossible to do this, issuing a secret edict is a confidential matter, and if you give an edict to all the princes, it will be easy to expose us." ”
Seeing that Dong Cheng had rejected his proposal, he hurriedly asked, "Then Uncle Dong Guo has a good way?" ”
Dong Cheng thought for a while and then said to Liu Xiejin: "Your Majesty, the minister has tested Wei Duan before, and the minister thinks he can use it. ”
"Uncle Guo, how did you do it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister found an informant to contact Wei Duan."
"Since Uncle Guo has a way, let's do it according to your method!"
"Obey the order!"
Immediately, Liu Xie asked Dong Cheng and them to retreat.
When Dong Cheng and the four of them came to the palace gate and were about to leave the palace, Cao Cao suddenly walked out with Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Dong Cheng and the four of them were also startled when they suddenly saw Cao Cao.
Besides, after Cao Cao saw Dong Cheng and the four of them, he suddenly said loudly: "Why are the four adults in such a hurry to enter the palace to find Your Majesty?" ”
Hearing Cao Cao's questioning, the four of them were all nervous, because they were doing dangerous things after all.
When Cao Cao saw that the four of them were silent, he also continued: "The four adults will not come to His Majesty for a drink and talk!" ”
When Dong Cheng heard this, he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said, "Lord Sikong guessed accurately!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.
Dong Cheng and the four of them were even more nervous when they heard Cao Cao laughing.
Cao Cao immediately stepped forward to observe Dong Cheng and the four of them.
When Cao Cao confirmed that Dong Cheng and the four of them had no extra items on their bodies, he suddenly said: "It turns out that the four adults are really here to have a drink and talk with Your Majesty, okay, you can go back." ”
After hearing this, the four of them immediately said in unison thank Cao Sikong.
Then, the four of them left the palace at a brisk pace.
When Xu Chu saw this scene, he immediately said, "Lord, you just let them run away?" ”
"Run? None of them can escape! It's just that now there is no evidence and you can't kill people indiscriminately, otherwise how am I different from that Dong Zhuo? ”
After saying that, Cao Cao also ordered the troops to be withdrawn, but Cao Cao's people also completely targeted Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan and Chongji.
