At night, Cao Cao really entered the palace and handed over the jade seal to Liu Xie, but asked Xu Chu to transfer a team of tiger guards to act as the guards of Jinwu, and no one was allowed to enter and leave the palace without permission.

Liu Xiemu, the son of the Han Dynasty, looked at the jade seal of the country on the table, and the sorrow and sadness that should not have appeared appeared on his face at a young age, there was no palace maid on the left and right, only the eunuch who went to Guangling that day to announce the decree for Lu Bu.

"Princess, why did you say that Cao Cao sent back the heirloom jade seal?"

Liu Xie opened his mouth and asked, when there was no jade seal in the past, Cao Cao gave him three points, and officials of all sizes could enter the palace to face the saint, but now that there is a jade seal of the country, Cao Cao has become more unscrupulous, and all civil and military officials need Cao Cao's order to enter the palace.

The prince replied: "The old slave has been in the deep palace for a long time, and he has never paid attention to the fights and killings between the princes, and only wants to serve His Majesty, but this jade seal of the country is His Majesty's thing, and he should return it." ”

Liu Xie sighed for a long time, remembering that it had been a few months since the edict of the cloth belt, except for Liu Bei who went out to occupy Xuzhou and Ma Teng who returned to Xiliang, the others did not move at all, and they didn't know when they would be released from Cao Cao's house arrest.

The next day, Cao Cao said in front of the civil and military officials: "Now that the jade seal is in place, the orthodoxy of the Han family can be continued, you should support the Han family with one heart, and if there are two hearts, the five horses will be separated and die." ”

As for how the jade seal of the country came about, as long as Lu Bu doesn't say it, Cao Cao won't say it.

Cao Cao presented Lu Bu's book and table again, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, Lu Bu bowed outside the competition, opened up the territory and expanded the territory for my Han Dynasty and promoted the prestige of my Han Dynasty, and he deserved to be rewarded. ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

The hundred officials echoed in unison, which made Cao Cao feel good.

Liu Xie still said in a sneering manner: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, and the matter will be handled by the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao said again: "Wancheng Zhang Xiu has accepted the table, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to make him the general of Yangwu." ”

"Quasi-play!"

Liu Xie promised that this early dynasty had already become Cao Cao's one-man show, and he only hoped to end it sooner.

The little eunuch saw that Cao Cao did not ask for a word, so he shouted loudly: "There is something to start and nothing to retreat." ”

This is the convention, and the form still has to go.

Shangshu Cheng Yu came out of the list and said: "The minister has a book, there is an urgent report of eight hundred miles from Xuzhou, Liu Bei did not obey the order, formed a party for personal gain, killed the court members without authorization, and was heinous, please give an order to eliminate the traitors." ”

Liu Xiexiao's eyes were full of gloom, and he didn't dare to express his feelings, so he paused: "Uncle Liu Huang is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he will not do anything against his ancestors, please still check carefully!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes sharpened, and he said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister heard that Liu Bei is entrenched in Xuzhou and effectively imitates Yuan Highway's posture, and sooner or later he will establish himself as the king, and he also asks His Majesty to make a holy judgment." ”

"This ......"

Liu Xie couldn't answer for a while.

I only heard Cao Cao snort coldly, and a court-central councillor came out to ask for a performance: "Your Majesty, the people of Xuzhou are in dire straits, please Your Majesty put the common people in the world first." ”

Immediately after a large group of civil and military officials seconded the proposal in unison, Liu Xie bit his teeth tightly, almost bit his lip, and said helplessly: "This matter is also troubled by the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

At the end of the court meeting, Liu Xie returned to the dormitory lonely, looking in a trance, and hated Cao Cao even more.

……

Chen Gong got Liu Xie's decree that Lu Bu was the pastor of Dongyi Prefecture, so he got up to say goodbye and prepared to go back.

Cao Cao said politely: "Why is Gongtai so anxious, the barbaric and desolate land of Dongyi Prefecture has made you a weak scholar." ”

Chen Gong replied: "I'm used to the hard days, but my vision is also low, I can eat in peace, sleep well and be content, I hope the prime minister will let me go back as soon as possible, so as not to delay the prime minister's time to sweep away the rebellion." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said to himself: "I didn't expect that the invincible Lu Bu could only live outside the plug and steal peace, the world is so big, it's really strange." ”

Chen Gong didn't care, he was not surprised, and said indifferently: "The prime minister should be wary of Liu Bei as soon as possible, Wen Hou just wants to be a peaceful and happy marquis outside the city, and he doesn't care about the prime minister, so he will leave." ”

Chen Gong walked out on his own, regardless of whether Cao Cao agreed or not.

Cao Cao saw that he had made up his mind, so he either let him go, or detain him, and thought about Chen Gong and returned, walked to Cao Cao and said softly: "In the next moment, I was in a hurry and almost missed a big event, when I came, Wen Hou asked me to give a message to the prime minister, Liu Bei has His Majesty's blood edict on him, I hope the prime minister will deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to deceive him everywhere." ”

Cao Cao was shocked, looked at Chen Gong without turning his eyes, and said secretly: How many spies did the thief Lu Bu have planted in Xu Du, and why did he know so much about Xu Du's affairs.

Chen Gong saw that Cao Cao was puzzled again, and excused himself: "This is what Wen Hou accidentally learned when he was in Guangling, and asked the prime minister to be aware and say goodbye." ”

Chen Gong got up and left quietly, he was really afraid that Cao Cao would suddenly get up and forcibly detain him in Xudu.

When Cao Cao came back to his senses, Chen Gong had already left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Gong had the grace to live with him, and he was not a merciless person, Chen Gong really wanted to go, so he did what he wanted.

Chen Gong went back to the inn that day, met with Li Kui, hurried out of Xu Du, and rushed back, as Lu Bu said, Xu Du was afraid that there would be another bloody storm.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Gong left, Cao Cao ordered someone to send the sacrificial wine Guo Jia and Shangshu Cheng Yu to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Under Cheng Yu's torture to extract a confession, the matter gradually surfaced, Liu Xie hid the secret edict of the blood book in the belt of his clothes, and gave it to the general of the Che Cai and the uncle Dong Chengmou to assassinate Cao Cao, Dong Cheng and the Ministry of Works, Prince Lang, Changshui Lieutenant Chongji, Wu Shuo, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan, Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Taiyi Ji Ping and "Zuo General Liu Bei" and others conspired to get rid of it.

After Cao Cao heard this, he was furious, and he entered the palace with a sword that night, and stabbed Dong Cheng's daughter Concubine Dong to death with a sword in front of Liu Xie, which frightened Liu Xie and fainted. All the people involved in it were all beheaded, and only Ma Teng and Liu Bei were spared by absconding.

On the second day, an edict was issued, saying that Dong Cheng and others formed a party for personal gain, trying to subvert the Han family, but Cao Cao discovered it early, so as to save the country from danger.

All of a sudden, everyone in Xu Ducheng was in danger, and even the people who stole chickens and dogs were so frightened that they couldn't come out.

A few days later, Lu Bu's BMW horses and rare treasures sent to Xudu finally arrived in Xudu, beating gongs and drums all the way, and the world passed on this matter, so that Lu Bubo had a loyal reputation.

When Chen Gong returned to Daifang County with the holy decree, it was already mid-September, and he finally had a big deal on his mind, and from then on, Lu Bu was the rightful pastor of Dongyi Prefecture.
