Chapter 248: The Divine Decree That Embarrassed Cao Ju
"Raid the mansion of Zhang Rang and others?" When Cao Ju returned to the mansion, he immediately called Yan Zhong and He Hao over, and told them about the errand that Dong Zhuo had arranged for him. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Cao Ju nodded and said: "Yes, this must be Li Ru's plan, raiding the mansion of Zhang Rang and others is fat, if Lone profits from it, Dong Zhuo will use this as a threat to force Lone into his camp." If he doesn't take anything alone, next, Li Ru will inevitably have a second plan. ”
Yan Zhong nodded and said: "That's right, Dong Zhuo knows that the lord has won the hearts of the people, and he is all-round in civil and military affairs, and he already has the heart to win over, if the lord does not obey, I am afraid that he will suffer from trouble." ”
Cao Ju didn't expect this result, originally he thought that after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he would leave Luoyang like Yuan Shao's brothers and Cao Cao, return to Qiaocheng to recruit troops and participate in the battle against Dong. But judging from the current situation, if he leaves Luoyang, the first to bear the brunt is that the Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian will definitely die, and the emperor Song will also be implicated, and the result will be disloyalty and injustice.
Since he can't escape, he can only be used by Dong Zhuo, and what Cao Ju hopes now is that when the princes ask Dong, Dong Zhuo won't send him out to fight against the princes' coalition army.
Cao Ju sighed and said: "The situation is already like this, you can only take one step at a time, or tomorrow morning, you and the two of you will go with Gu and first raid Zhang Rang's mansion." ”
According to the law of the Han Dynasty, all the confiscated property was confiscated into the treasury, and Dong Zhuo was the commonplace, so he should naturally be responsible for the raid, and the person who confiscated should also be appointed by him and reported to the emperor for approval.
At present, Dong Zhuo is in power, whoever he asks to check can do it, and the list numbers after the inspection only need to be reported to him, so if Cao Ju wants to fill his pockets, he just needs to feed Dong Zhuo.
From the next day, Cao Ju personally led his soldiers to raid the past from Zhang Rang's mansion to house by house.
Although he had been mentally prepared, the results of the raid still made Cao Ju couldn't help but be shocked, these dozen or so physically incomplete guys were really greedy, and the gold, silver, jewelry, antique and famous utensils, and silk silk confiscated from each mansion were simply countless.
There are a lot of beauties, although these eunuchs are not physically complete and can't do the things of men and women, but they all have adopted sons, and some have more than one adopted son, so naturally they also bully men and women to collect a lot of beauties.
Most of these beauties are the daughters of ordinary people in Luoyang City and the Sili area who were robbed by the adopted sons of the ten permanent servants, Cao Ju sent the beauties who had a home to return home, and paid a lot of compensation, and some of them were killed and had no home to return to, Cao Ju temporarily stayed.
This incident once again made Cao Ju's reputation great, Dong Zhuo learned the news, and said with a slight smile: "Cao Canghe is really an extraordinary person, at least if he is alone, he will not be willing to give up so many beauties." ”
Li Ru listened, smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Now that he is in power, Dong Zhuo also revealed his true nature, staying in the palace every night, first the concubines of Emperor Han Ling, none of them can escape his claws, and then there are beautiful palace maids, as long as they are favored by him, none of them can escape, one night, Dong Zhuo even made seven palace maids in one night.
Wang Meiren has arrived safely at the Horse Mansion, and when she heard about it, she was really scared, if she left a few days late, I was afraid that she would not be able to escape Dong Zhuo's clutches.
Liu Mu, although he knew that Dong Zhuo would not move her, he was also afraid, so he found an excuse and moved to the Horse Mansion.
In less than half a month, the mansion of the ten permanent servants was all raided by Cao Ju, all the gold, silver, jewelry and other things were handed over to the state treasury, all the men in the mansion were beheaded for public display, and the women were used as slaves.
However, Cao Ju wrote to Dong Zhuo, especially asking for pardon for the daughters of those poor families who were arrested, some of them were sent home, and some of them were homeless, Cao Ju suggested that they be rewarded to meritorious soldiers, and Dong Zhuo agreed.
After this incident, Dong Zhuo's evaluation of Cao Ju improved again, although he did not promote Cao Ju's official position, but rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk silk.
As Cao Ju feared, after the raid of the Ten Standing Servants' Mansion, only two days later, the holy decree was sent to the Horse Mansion again, this time the meaning of the holy decree shocked Cao Ju, Dong Zhuo actually wanted to take revenge on He Jin and Empress Dowager Dong, and prepared to make a complete reckoning with the He family.
Cao Ju finally understood why Cao Cao in history had such a big advantage, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, just make a holy decree, as long as it is not particularly excessive, you have no way to disobey it.
He Jin is a general, but all military generals are under his command, coupled with the relationship between He Yan and Cao Ju, Cao Ju has no reason not to obey. There is also Empress Dowager Dong, who raised Liu Xie since she was a child, and is the same clan as Dong Zhuo, avenging her old family is naturally a matter of being a courtier, not to mention that the holy decree has been made.
This holy decree, in Cao Ju's hands, is absolutely hot, why Jin and Empress Dowager Dong take revenge, isn't this deliberately embarrassing him?
Between the He family and the Dong family, it is a mortal enemy, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between the Empress Dowager He and the Empress Dowager Dong, He Jin and Dong Zhong are the enemies of life and death, and at the same time avenge the two of them, how to avenge this revenge?
Why do you want to take revenge, you have to find trouble with the Dong family, and to avenge the Empress Dowager Dong, you have to find trouble with the He family, and at the same time, you can simply destroy both the He family and the Dong family, but it is not to avenge them.
Cao Ju lost his mind for a while, so he called Yan Zhong and He Hao again to discuss the matter and ask them for advice on how to resolve it.
This plan is from the hands of Li Ru, that Li Ru is insidious, and he does not take the avenue, so if he wants to resolve Li Ru's plan, he must naturally go sideways, and in the end, Yan Zhong came up with a solution.
Hearing Yan Zhong's solution, Cao Juzhi frowned, but other than that, he really couldn't think of any other way, so he had to follow Yan Zhong's plan.
He Miao had a close relationship with the Ten Standing Servants and often leaked information to them, which was one of the main culprits in the death of He Jin, although he had been killed by He Jin's subordinates Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, but it was still not enough to relieve his hatred. So, Cao Ju ordered people to dig up He Miao's tomb, break open the coffin, pull out He Miao's body, and dismember any of them who entered the old department, and threw them on the side of the road for wild dogs to devour.
To avenge the Empress Dowager Dong, it is natural to move the people of the He family, He Jin and He Miao are dead, and the Empress Dowager He's noble status naturally can't be moved, so only He Miao's old lady Wuyangjun will be moved. (To be continued.) )
