Not long after Cao Shuo left the palace, he asked to see Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's room.

Fu Wan stood in front of him, and Empress Fu and Concubine Dong sat on either side of Liu Xie.

"Is it really Cao Jun who went to find you?" Liu Xie asked Fu Wan.

"Exactly." Fu Wan said: "Although Cao Jun said that he meant, but without Cao Zirong's instructions, how dare he blatantly find me for Cao Zirong." ”

But Cao Zirong didn't say it. Liu Xie pinched his chin and said, "He just met me not long ago. I wanted to reward him, and not only did he not ask for it, but he also said that it would not be too late for some days......"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie's eyes lit up.

After clenching his fists, he bowed down without saying a word.

Liu Xie said as if talking to himself: "No wonder he doesn't want a reward, it turns out that he has already thought about what he wants......"

"Your Majesty!" Fu Wan and Queen Fu didn't speak, but Concubine Dong said on the side: "It's not a trivial matter to pay homage to the marquis. Cao Zirong's appetite is also too big, he not only wants to be the Marquis of Huainan, but also wants to be the assassin of Yangzhou and the official worship of General Zuo......"

"If you talk about military exploits, Cao Zirong is indeed enough to be rewarded like this." Liu Xie said: "What's more, this is Xu Du, what official he wants to be, he only needs to tell me directly." Now that Cao Jun is asked to find Fu Gong, he can be regarded as a royal face. ”

"But ......," Concubine Dong wanted to say more.

Liu Xie interrupted her: "Concubine, I don't need to say much, I already have a plan for this matter." Since Cao Zirong has taken a fancy to these official positions, I will give them to him. ”

Looking at Fu Wan, Liu Xie said: "Fu Gong can go to Cao Zirong to sell personal favors, and if you get involved with Cao Zirong's line, it will only be good for Fu Gong, and there will be no harm in it!" Fu Gong go down first, I'm a little tired! ”

After the resignation, he retreated.

Concubine Dong asked Liu Xie: "Cao Zirong asked for an official position, and His Majesty agreed to all of them, could it be that he could only watch the Han family being controlled by the Cao family so much?" ”

"What can I do?" Liu Xie said with grievances: "The courtiers don't listen to my orders, the soldiers and horses don't listen to my allocation, since I came to Xudu, I am just a vassal of the Cao family!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Dong said earnestly: "For the sake of the big man, it must not be like this!" ”

"Concubine Ai, don't say it again." Liu Xie waved his hand: "I want to rest!" ”

Concubine Dong still wanted to persuade again, but Queen Fu said: "Sister, Your Majesty is tired, it's useless to say it, don't say it!" ”

Empress Fu accompanied Liu Xie to the inner room, Concubine Dong clenched her fists, and bit out of the room with silver teeth.

When she arrived at the door, she instructed the palace maid with her: "You go and invite the general of the chariot and cavalry, and say that I will ask him to discuss important matters!" ”

instructed the palace maid to invite Dong Cheng, and when she returned to her residence, Concubine Dong rummaged through the cabinets to find something.

The palace maids who served her stood with their heads bowed and their hands down, not daring to ask more questions one by one.

"Did Your Majesty stay here for anything?" After looking for a while and finding nothing, Concubine Dong asked the palace maids.

"Return to the concubine." A palace maid said: "Your Majesty stayed here last time, but he left a piece of clothing belt. ”

"Belt?" Concubine Dong hurriedly said, "Come find it for me." ”

The palace maid who responded hurriedly went to find the clothes and belts, and handed them to Concubine Dong with both hands.

Taking the belt, Concubine Dong thought for a while, and said to the palace maid: "Fetch a pair of scissors, you all retreat, and if the general of the chariot cavalry arrives, please come in and talk." ”

All the palace ladies retreated one after another.

Concubine Dong was doing something in the room alone, and not long after, Dong Cheng came.

After entering the room, he saluted Concubine Dong and asked, "The concubine called the ministers to come, and I don't know what to order." ”

"Father, at this time, how can there be so many courtesies!" Concubine Dong said anxiously: "In a short time, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be abolished by the Cao family!" ”

"Don't dare to say these words!" Dong Cheng was taken aback and hurriedly said.

"Does my father know what Cao Zirong brought back from Huainan?" Concubine Dong asked.

"Heirloom Jade Seal!" Dong Cheng said: "This matter has spread in Xudu, and it is said that Cao Cao took Cao Zirong and presented the jade seal to His Majesty. ”

"Sacrifice is sacrifice, but the price Your Majesty has to pay is too great." Concubine Dong said: "Cao Zirong asked His Majesty for an official as soon as he opened his mouth. ”

"Cao Zi has won the jade seal of the country, and there is nothing wrong with asking His Majesty for an official." Dong Cheng said: "The concubine called me, is it just to say this?" ”

"Does my father know what kind of official Cao Zirong wants?" Seeing that Dong Cheng didn't care at all, Dong Guifei asked a little anxiously.

"What kind of officer does he want?" Dong Cheng asked: "Is it possible to be the prime minister?" ”

"Not really." Dong Guifei said: "Cao Zirong wants to be the Marquis of Huainan, the Assassin of Yangzhou and General Zuo!" ”

Dong Cheng was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed: "I'm just a general of the chariot cavalry, how can he dare to be a general of the left?" ”

"Who says it isn't!" Dong Guifei said: "If Cao Zirong just wants to be a Huainan Marquis, he actually wants to be the assassin of Yangzhou and General Zuo, and his ambition can be seen." ”

"That's what the concubine said." Dong Cheng asked: "Cao Cao returned the jade seal of the country, did he say that he wanted His Majesty to govern in person?" ”

"Even if Cao Cao said that His Majesty would be in charge of the government, my father thought His Majesty could do that?" Concubine Dong Guifei said without resentment: "Since I came to Xudu, Your Majesty has been a puppet under Cao Cao's control. ”

Looking left and right, Concubine Dong lowered her voice and then said to Dong Cheng: "The Han family has declined, and Your Majesty does not even have half a soldier and horse in his hands. ”

His eyes lit up suddenly, Dong Cheng's gaze immediately dimmed again, and he sighed and said, "Cao Cao is powerful, where can he be easily eliminated?" What's more, Cao Zirong has dedicated the jade seal of the country again, and now the Cao family has made great contributions, and it is not a name to get rid of Cao Cao. ”

Dong Guifei said: "Father, wait a minute, I have something for you." ”

She turned around and walked to the table, picked up Liu Xie's belt, handed it to Dong Cheng and said, "This belt belongs to Your Majesty, and I have stuffed a fake edict in it, and my father can use it to gather people." As long as my father said it, others didn't know whether it was true or not. ”

Taking the belt, Dong Cheng hesitated and asked, "Does Your Majesty know?" ”

"How could His Majesty know." Dong Guifei said: "Your Majesty is now afraid of Cao Cao to the bone marrow. Ask him to give an edict, and he may inform Cao Cao immediately. ”

"If Your Majesty knows, won't I become a false herald?" Dong Cheng asked.

"If your father becomes a king, how can Your Majesty blame you?" Concubine Dong said: "Father just does it, but it has to be more detailed. ”

"I don't have a handful of people to use." Dong Cheng said: "If the army must have a vanguard, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei next to Liu Xuande are two fierce generals, it is better to invite Liu Xuande to discuss." ”

"I'm just a woman, I don't know how to do politics." Concubine Dong said: "It's good for my father to decide!" ”
