Qilu Taishan, the ancestral home of the Cao family in Qilu, the patriarch of the Cao clan was licking in his thatched house, and at this time, a cry woke up the patriarch of the Cao family:

"Great Patriarch, Great Patriarch! Wake up! Wake up! After the patriarch of the Cao clan was woken up, he was very impatient. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What? Don't you see I'm licking? ”

"Great Patriarch, the eldest young master has a letter, and there is a book!"

"Oh! Show me the letter and the book. The patriarch of the Cao clan unfolded the letter:

'Father, Lord Junjian, everything is fine with the child in Chang'an, His Royal Highness Prince Li Tang Li Jiancheng Lixian, the child has lived up to his mission, and has been appointed as a guest of the Prince's Mansion by His Royal Highness the Prince. In addition, he brought back a copy of the "Record of the Magi" written and prefaced by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself to express His Royal Highness the Prince's sincerity to our Cao family. The patriarch of the Cao family opened the book of "The Magi" and looked at it one by one. Slowly, the more the patriarch of the Cao clan read this book, the more he fell in love with it. In this book, Li Jiancheng loves your own ancestor Cao Cao in the biography of the virtuous king, which makes the patriarch of the Cao family happy. Once the world talks about Cao Cao, they all call it after the eunuch. And not to call it the emperor, this has always been a hidden pain for the Cao family. When he turned to the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan under Cao Cao. Li Jiancheng included the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan in the biography of loyalty and righteousness.

"Quick, quick, get all the people. The patriarch is to recommend this book to them. When the Cao family and the Xiahou family came, the patriarch of the Cao family circulated the book of "The Magi Record" to everyone present. After reading it, everyone present felt that it was a good book, and everyone cheered.

"What a treasure this book is!"

"Yes! Great Patriarch, in my opinion, this book should be enshrined in the ancestral hall, so that the ancestors can also know and know, so that the ancestors can be happy and happy! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Great Patriarch, what Brother Xiahou Yang Xia said is right! ”

"Yes! Our Cao family and Xiahou family have been wronged for so many years, and it is time for us to raise our eyebrows. While everyone was celebrating loudly, there were also smart people who poured a bucket of cold water on everyone present.

"Great Patriarch, as soon as this book comes out, it is not only His Royal Highness the Prince's sincerity and wooing of our clan, but also a potential threat to our Cao family and Xiahou family!" Everyone looked at this person, this person's name was Cao Lizheng, he was the cousin of the patriarch of Cao, and he was also the most knowledgeable person in the Cao family, and his wife was also a member of the Xiahou family. Did the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family look at him:

"Proof! Tell me your reasoning!? ”

"Great Patriarch, this book is touting the ancestors of our Cao family and Xiahou family! There is also the boasting of the family affairs and literary status of the Boling Cui family and the Qingyang Lu family, and others know at a glance that this is to deal with Liu Heimin, so, according to the foolish opinion, we must now cut off the bright line between Liu Heimin and Fu Gongtuo immediately, leaving only the dark pile. Many people nodded after hearing Cao's words. They all looked at the patriarch of the Cao family together. The patriarch of the Cao family lowered his head and thought for a moment:

"Good! Immediately inform Ping Zhong and Mu Yan and ask them to withdraw from Liu Heimin and Fu Gongtuo as soon as possible. Make no mistake! ”

"Yes!"

In Liu Heimin's palace in Zhaozhou, Liu Heimin was meeting an important guest brought back by Liu Ya:

"Yadi! You said that this person had just come to your mansion, and that he had come from Chang'an and had important news for us! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! I don't know if the emperor wants to see him! Liu Heimin nodded, and Liu Ya immediately brought the person in, only to see that the person was wearing a black cloak:

"I don't know who the master is? He said that there was something important for the widow to see, but he did not know what was important for the widow. The man unfastened his black cloak:

"Under the command of the King of Qin, the eldest grandson Wuji will see His Majesty Liu Heimin!"

"What? You are Li Shimin's brother-in-law, the eldest grandson Wuji. Liu Heimin's face was shocked, and Liu Ya directly pulled out her saber and put it on the neck of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Eldest grandson Wuji, you really have a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no door to hell, you throw yourself in!" The eldest grandson Wuji's face was as usual, but he kept staring at Liu Heimin with his eyes, and those eyes kept looking at Liu Heimin. Liu Heimin felt a beast-like aura, as if he was a bloodthirsty monster in front of him, and Liu Heimin suddenly felt a little weak. Liu Heimin desperately suppressed the feeling in his heart, but the slight cold sweat on his forehead was still seen by the eldest grandson Wuji.

"What? Your Majesty Liu Heimin, why don't you want Lord Liu Ya to cut off the head below! However, after His Majesty asked Lord Liu Ya to cut off his head, I am afraid that in the future, Your Majesty Liu Heimin's head will fall to the ground. ”

"Sir, are you scaring me?"

"What! His Majesty Liu Heimin doesn't believe in the words of the next, if you don't believe in the words of the next, you can give it a try! Let's see if your head is still on your neck in the future!? Master Liu Ya, why don't you hurry up and cut off the head below. Cut! Cut! Liu Ya's hand holding the sword also trembled a little.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this ...... What can I do? Liu Heimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, sighed, waved his hand to Liu Ya and said:

"Liu Ya, let this gentleman go." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said to Liu Heimin:

"Your Majesty Liu Heimin, you still don't believe what you say."

"You said that you are the eldest grandson Wuji, what proof do you have? Maybe you're a liar or a spy in an enemy country. ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! I have heard for a long time that His Majesty Liu Heimin is cautious, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation! The eldest grandson Wuji uncovered his clothes, took out a letter from the mezzanine of his clothes, and took out a book from his package.

"This is a letter written by His Royal Highness King Qin to His Majesty, and there is also this book of "The Magi", please refer to His Majesty Liu Heimin!" After Liu Heimin opened the letter, he read it carefully, and the letter read:

'Your Majesty Liu Heimin, since Your Majesty started the army, the people of Li have suffered and suffered, and they have been overwhelmed, and this king has been particularly heartbroken every time he sees the war report, so he hopes that my dynasty and His Majesty can turn the war into a jade silk, and specially sent Sun Wuji, the elder brother of the lonely king, to come with the letter of this king, and also brought this book of the "Magi Record" compiled by Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, and hoped that His Majesty could deeply understand the three flavors. The Tang Dynasty Qin King, Taiwei, Lingda Situ, and the forward general Li Shimin personally wrote. Liu Heimin looked at the letter, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji. I flipped through the book of the Magi. Toss aside.

"Humph! Hum! Hum! It's a broken book. This is also called heavy gifts, since you said that your King Qin wants to turn war with the widow into a jade silk, what? Won't you send some gold, silver, wealth, grain, and grass all over again!? Well!? The eldest grandson Wuji smiled:

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Ha! Your Majesty Liu Heimin, there are really people who don't know gold and jade! ”

"What did you say?" Liu Ya shouted, and Liu Heimin stopped Liu Ya:

"Liu Ya, calm down! Don't be presumptuous! ”

"Yes!" Liu Ya agreed, and inserted her saber into the scabbard.

"Your Majesty Liu Heimin, please open this book carefully! The contents of it are very bad for Your Majesty! Please read the emperor chapter, this book praises Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, saying that Cao Cao is a heroic figure who maintains imperial power and resists barbarians externally and maintains the unification of the Chinese land internally, and belittles Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan's three fathers and sons, as well as Liu Bei, saying that they split the country, resist the central authority, and are traitors in troubled times. Also, the Xianchen chapter, for the Boling Cui clan located in Qilu at the time of the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the implementation of the Sinicization of the Hu people, so that the Xianbei barbarians and the Han people in our Central Plains were integrated together. There is also a collection of Lu Sidao's talent and articles in the Lu family in Qingyang. These families are the ones with a lot of influence and power in the land of Qilu! Especially the Qilu Cao family, I heard that it is in charge of the lifeblood of your army, if the Cao family fights back, then His Majesty will face Li Tang head-on, no, it should be said that the Tang army led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, Your Majesty Liu Heimin, do you think your ending will be good? After Liu Heimin heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he shouted to Liu Ya:

"Brother Ya, quickly lead the troops, surround Cao Pingzhong's mansion, and ...... Cao Pingzhong immediately" Liu Heimin paused - originally Liu Heimin wanted to say that Cao Pingzhong would be arrested immediately, but Liu Heimin suddenly thought that Cao Pingzhong was now in charge of the entire army's salary, materials, grain and grass, and ordnance. and the financial power of the entire Handong Imperial Court, which can not be offended easily. Liu Heimin changed his tone and said to Liu Ya:

"Brother Ya, you immediately bring someone to Cao Pingzhong, the secretary of the household department, and Lord Cao immediately invite him from the mansion, and say that the widow has an urgent matter to discuss with Lord Cao."

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Wechen Command! Liu Ya came back alone after a while.

"Hmmm! Liu Yadi, why did you come back alone, Lord Cao Pingzhong? ”

"Your Majesty...... Down, Your Majesty! That ......"

"What's that? Don't stutter! ”

"Your Majesty...... Down, Your Majesty! That ......" Liu Ya is still spitting. The eldest grandson Wuji laughed and said:

"Your Majesty, let's answer for Lord Liu Ya! It must be that Lord Liu Ya led the troops to Lord Cao Pingzhong's mansion and found that Lord Cao was not in the mansion, right? Liu Heimin looked at Liu Ya. Liu Ya nodded. And the words of the eldest grandson Wuji also made Liu Heimin's heart extremely cold:

"Lord Liu Ya, if you are not wrong in your guess, now in Cao Pingzhong's household yamen, many important documents and seals have been transferred. Or should I say no. Is it? When Liu Heimin heard this, he immediately ordered Liu Ya:

"Brother Liu Yadi, you immediately take someone to the household department, go to check the accounts and seals of the household department, as well as important documents, go quickly." After Liu Ya led the troops to the household department, she directly rummaged through the cabinets in the household department and found that it was really as the eldest grandson Wuji said, all the important documents and seals were gone. Liu Ya collapsed to the ground, and Liu Ya's guards immediately stepped forward to help Liu Ya:

"Lord Liu Ya, Lord Liu Ya, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ya kept repeating these two words - "It's over." ”
