After receiving the Assassin's confession, Gongsun Kang had people post a list in the five counties of Liaodong and Xuzhou, Qingzhou, detailing the assassination.

Because the assassination of the champion Hou spread quickly and widely, the official must come forward to give an official explanation, so as not to spread rumors all over the sky.

At the end of the list, Gongsun Kang did not abuse Cao Cao, but said very sincerely:

Cao Cao's move broke through the lower limit and gave the princes a bad start. In the future, except for the frontal battlefield, everyone will have to worry about intrigues and ghosts. From now on, all the princes have to worry about their personal safety, and by extension, the civil and military generals under the command of the princes, and officials at all levels have to worry about their own lives. Even the people under his rule will worry about whether someone will poison or set fire to create terror.

Terrorism is rampant, and the lives of ordinary people are even more difficult and unstable.

Gongsun Kang did not send a letter to Cao Cao, but only explained the situation in his own territory. However, all the princes of all walks of life had detailed work in Liaodong and Qingxu, so Cao Cao sent people to assassinate Gongsun Kang and blame Yuan Shao, which soon spread all over the world.

Yuan Shao was furious, and since then he has buried a thorn in his heart. Cao Cao's power is getting stronger and stronger, and he can't command this little brother anymore; Now that he found that Cao Cao dared to plot against himself, he felt that he had raised a white-eyed wolf.

Cao Cao's face was thick and dark, and he tried his best to clarify that this matter had nothing to do with him. also pretended to write to comfort Gongsun Kang.

But it didn't take long for several beauties he gave to Gongsun Kang to be arrested and interrogated, from which two beautiful female assassins were interrogated, confessing that they were sent by Cao Cao to assassinate Gongsun Kang, and several powerful poisons were also found.

Gongsun Kang once again posted the list all over the territory, revealing Cao Cao's face and lining.

Gongsun Kang tossed like this, a bit of a fuss, but in fact, he was looking for a big righteousness and an excuse.

In the future, no matter what means he uses to deal with Cao Cao, the people of the world will have nothing to say. After all, it was Cao Cao who first broke through the lower limit and opened a precedent for doing everything regardless of means.

Cao Cao was annoyed and angry, and issued an edict in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, saying that Gongsun Kang had nothing to do and slandered the minister! For the sake of punishment, cure the sick and save people. It is hereby decreed to take away all official positions of Gongsun Kang and cancel the marquis of the Champion Marquis!

Gongsun Kang didn't like him at all, and he didn't even bother to refute it. For the eunuchs who deliver the decree, the sticks are beaten!

Everyone in the world was in an uproar, you must know that the champion Hou had just wiped out the Goguryeo Kingdom. This hundred-year-old Han enemy country, thousands of miles of fertile land, into the territory of the Han family.

This is a great joy and a great thing that shakes the world! Not only will he not be rewarded, but he will also take away all official positions of Gongsun Kang and cancel the marquis of the champion!

The credibility of the imperial court was greatly reduced all of a sudden. Many people privately pointed out that Cao Cao had set Emperor Han Xian in the air. Coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, named Han Xiang, but they are actually Han thieves!

Cao Cao also issued an edict to call on the princes of the world to collectively crusade against Gongsun Kang. The princes of the world all watched collectively and looked at each other coldly. Today, you Cao Cao can send someone to assassinate Gongsun Kang, and tomorrow you can send someone to assassinate me. If you can't kill someone, you still call on everyone to help you go to war, are the princes of the world really fools? Got water in your head? No good, who birds you?

Therefore, it is very nonsense to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! There are only a handful of princes in the world, just a few. Who really takes the imperial court and Emperor Han Xian seriously? Which of the princes' generals and strategists went to him because Cao Cao controlled Emperor Han Xian?

Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan all once mastered Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, are there any scholars and generals in the world who defect to them because of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?

Gongsun Kang-for-tat and released Chen Lin's payment for thieves in advance. The article only intercepts the first half of the article, and the part that has nothing to do with Yuan Shao. Post it in the realms of the princes.

Because of Chen Lin's literary achievements in his life, this article is the highest. Gongsun Kang cherishes talents and doesn't want Chen Lin to be buried by history. So Gongsun Kang used the name of Chen Lin to release it. So Chen Lin became famous.

At this time, Chen Lin was still under Yuan Shao, and he tried his best to explain to Yuan Shao that this article had nothing to do with him, and he had no contact with the champion Hou.

Yuan Shao read the article and shouted happily! comforted Chen Lin and said: "Whether it has nothing to do with you or not, this article is well written!" Cao Aman just owes scolding! ”

The article translates in the vernacular:

I have heard that the holy monarch is faced with a crisis and formulates a strategy to quell the chaos, and the faithful courtier is faced with a disaster and seeks a solution to establish his position, so there are extraordinary people first, and then there are extraordinary things; If you have extraordinary things, you can make extraordinary feats. This extraordinary is unimaginable to ordinary people. In the past, the monarch of the powerful Qin State was very weak, Zhao Gao was in power, autocratic control of the political situation, and his own prestige, which eventually led to the disaster of extermination, and he has been infamous so far, and in the later period of Lu, Lu Lu, Lu Chan ****, handled political affairs without authorization, as well as palace affairs, and the subordinates bullied the superiors, and the people of the whole country felt cold, so the Marquis Zhou Bo and the Marquis of Zhu Xu, Liu Zhang, raised troops in anger, punished the rebellion, and respected the emperor of the Liu family, so the country can prosper, and they also illuminate the annals of history, which is a model of meritorious service for ministers.

Sikong Cao Cao, his grandfather Cao Teng, was a former servant, and Zuo Yi, Xu Huang, at the same time made waves, arrogant and indulgent, damaged the weather, abused the people, his father Cao Song, is Cao Teng's adopted son, with the help of Cao Teng's status, riding in the golden chariot, colluding with power, usurping the throne, subverting the imperial power. Cao Cao is a descendant of eunuchs and eunuchs, who has no moral character, is cunning and chivalrous, and likes to cause turmoil and disasters.

Dong Zhuo dictatorship, bullying hundreds of officials, abusing the people, so all the princes discussed the crusade against Dong Zhuo, originally thought that Cao Cao was a heroic talent, can be appointed, who knew that he was ignorant and short-sighted, easily launched an attack, fought a big defeat, lost a lot of troops, Yuan Shao then gave him troops, rested the team, and asked him to serve as the Taishou of Dongjun; He also let him serve as the assassin of Yanzhou, let him wear the robe of the tiger general, hand him over to the army, and give him the right to reward and punish, hoping that he can atone for his sins like the general of the Qin State (Meng Mingshi).

But Cao Cao took the opportunity to fly and dominate, intensified, exploited the people, and brutalized the virtuous and virtuous people. From then on, the officials were resentful and hateful, and the people's grievances were even more severe, and one person raised his arms and shouted, and the whole state responded en masse, so he was defeated by Xu Fang, and the land was seized by Liu Bei, and he fled to his hometown in the east, with no place to stand.

Later, the emperor moved Kyoto from Chang'an to Luoyang, and the thieves were in chaos, and at that time Jizhou was invaded by ethnic minorities in the north and divided the land, so he sent Xu Xun as a messenger and ordered Cao Cao to renovate the Luoyang Temple and protect the young emperor. He took the opportunity to indulge in arbitrariness, lived in the palace, defiled the palace, corrupted the law and discipline, and held three important responsibilities alone, **** court government, knighthood, and rewards were all from his own ideas, and the conviction and killing came from his own mouth, and the people he liked let his five clans be favored, and the people he hated destroyed the three clans of others, and those who talked about it in public were all killed publicly, and those who complained privately were secretly killed, and people only dared to greet them with their eyes on the road, and the officials did not dare to speak, Shangshu only presided over the court meeting in name, The ministers only serve as official positions in name!

The former Taiwei Yang Biao, successively served as Sima, Situ, and Sikong, and his position was extremely high, and Cao Cao falsely accused him of his crimes because of small resentment, beat him with a stick, whipped him, and used any punishment, and arbitrarily abused, regardless of the constraints of the law. He also discussed Lang Zhao Yan, loyal and outspoken, his suggestions were worth adopting, so the court rewarded him and gave him an official promotion, Cao Cao planned to usurp power, put an end to his words, arrested and killed him without authorization, and did not let the emperor know in advance.

King Xiao of Liang is the younger brother of the first emperor, his mausoleum is very noble, pine and cypress, especially solemn, and Cao Cao led the generals and soldiers to personally excavate his mausoleum, break the coffin, expose the corpse, steal the gold treasure, so that the court tears, the people are sad! Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, burned houses, excavated graves, and implicated the tomb of King Xiao of Liang. also set up the so-called General Qiu Zhonglang, touching the golden lieutenant, and also tried his best to cover up what he had done. He was a high-ranking official, but he did things like that, bringing disaster to the country and the people, poisoning people and ghosts, and paying harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, beware of others harming him, covering the fields with nets, and filling the roads with traps, so that people could touch his nets with a little hand, and step on his traps with a single move; Therefore, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all people who can't live, and the people in Kyoto are boiling, looking at ancient and modern books, the greedy and cruel ministers recorded in them, Cao Cao is the most powerful!
