Cheng Yu, who was on the side, saw Cao Cao's complicated expression, so he advised: "Lord, when you decide, you will decide." If www.biquge.info not, how can the lord achieve what he wants? ”

"Ugh." Cao Cao sighed: "Cao's wish in life is to be a loyal Han general of the expedition to the west, and a hundred years later, the epitaph can be engraved with the epitaph of the general Cao Hou of the Han Dynasty, which is enough for this life." It's just that things backfired, so how could someone feel nostalgic in his heart? ”

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Xie, who was leaving, turned around, and looked at Cheng Yu with deep eyes.

"In fact, the lord has long expected this result in his heart, but he has always hoped that His Majesty can become a Ming master, a Ming master worthy of the trust of Ming Gong, a Ming master who does not need to be suspicious, and does not doubt people. It's just that Ming Gong should not forget, since ancient times, how many people can die well? If the lord sweeps the world in the future and holds the military and political power, how can His Majesty rest assured? What's more, the Son of Heaven is young, after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, his desire for power is better than that of the first emperor, how can Wang Yun and others be willing to fall into the hands of Ming Gong when they are by the side of the Son of Heaven? ”

Cheng Yu bowed his head and said: "In order to cut off the heart of the lord, all this is done by one person, please punish the lord." ”

Cao Cao finally sighed, stretched out his hand to help Cheng Yu and said, "In addition to you, there is also Fengxiao, do you think Gu doesn't know?" ”

Cheng Yu chuckled: "I can't hide anything from Ming Gong." ”

"Lone is just worried about Wen Ruo. If Wen Ruo is separated from Cao because of this matter, wouldn't Cao lose a close friend? ”

"Ming Gong rest assured, Wen Ruo's heart is like a mirror, and he has filial piety and persuasion, and he will not have a grudge against the lord."

"I hope so." Cao Cao asked again, "What should I do next?" ”

Cheng Yu made a slashing gesture and said: "Kill Bian Rang first, and use the prestige of Zhengming Gong." ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Three days later, the Hall of the Garter.

The imperial palace of Xuchang imitates the imperial palace of Luoyang and Chang'an, although it is slightly inferior in scale and momentum, but the palace pavilion and palace gate are the same.

Today, Cao Cao, in the name of Sikong, summoned all the ministers of Xuchang to the court to discuss matters; Today is also a different court meeting from the past, because before the court, everyone felt an indescribable depression, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little dull. Chun Yujia and others from Chang'an also went to the court for the first time and met the Son of Heaven in the palace. When they were in Chang'an, Lu Bu convened the ministers to discuss the same solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

Liu Xie sat on the throne, and his expression was not as high-spirited as when he first came to Chang'an. At this moment, he looked a little uneasy, and looked at Wang Yun, Shi Sun Rui and others from time to time.

In the past few days, Wang Yun has also noticed the murderous aura that has drifted away in Xuchang, and he thinks that something must have happened, because they haven't seen Liu Xie in the past few days, which makes several people have a bad premonition in their hearts.

Just when the ministers were worried in their hearts, the voice of the little yellow door sounded outside the hall: "Sikong Cao Cao has arrived." ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Cao Cao surrounded by a group of civil and military ministers, striding into the palace, when Cao Cao stepped into the hall, all the ministers looked at Cao Cao in astonishment.

With a long sword hanging from his waist and his shoes not taken off, he walked into the hall in full view of everyone.

Cao Cao's murderous face glanced at everyone, and when he saw Liu Xie, he didn't kneel.

A minister jumped out and pointed at Cao Cao and said: "Cao Sikong, you are a courtier, why did you enter the palace, your sword was incomprehensible, your shoes were not taken off, and you didn't salute when you saw the Son of Heaven, it wasn't the courtier's doing?" ”

Cao Cao glared at the man fiercely and shouted, "Who are you?" There's no place for you to speak. The man was glared at by Cao Cao, and his heart was cold, and finally he cowered and hid back in the column.

"Your Majesty, I summoned you here today to tell Yanzhou to assassinate Shibian to gather a crowd to rebel, and I have been escorted back to Xuchang."

Cao Cao waved his hand, and two tiger warriors outside the hall dragged one into the hall, and everyone looked at it, it was that there was Jean.

At this moment, Bian Rang's cloak was scattered, his clothes were torn, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, his eyes were scattered, and he was already dying, obviously tortured.

"Your Majesty recruited this person to be the assassin of Yanzhou, but this person did not want to serve the imperial court, did not be loyal to His Majesty, but for his own selfishness, gathered a crowd to rebel, fortunately Cao found it early, and had ordered Yanzhou Governor Xiahoudun to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, so that he could escort this person to Xudu."

Cao Cao pointed to Bian Rang and said coldly.

Bian Rang, who was originally angry, raised his head and saw Liu Xie on the throne, and suddenly struggled to get up, his hands were in the direction of Liu Xie, babbling in his mouth, but he couldn't say half a word.

"This?"

Liu Xie wanted to say something, but Cao Cao choked back: "Your Majesty, does you want to listen to this person's slander?" ”

Wang Yun came out and said: "Lord Sikong, this is just a Confucian, how can he make a rebellion, and is there another hidden reason in it?" ”

"Hmph, Lord Wang, when you say this, do you mean that I, Cao Cao, slandered this person?" Cao Cao's eyes were cold, "Do you know that slandering important officials of the court is also a capital crime." ”

"This?"

Sun Rui, the taxi behind Wang Yun, gently pulled Wang Yun, Wang Yun was helpless, retreated to the queue, and stopped talking, lamenting in his heart, I was afraid that Bian Rang would not survive today.

Although Bian Rang couldn't speak, he could still understand that seeing Cao Cao slandering himself like this, Liu Xie couldn't justify himself, so he was in a hurry, and his mouth babbled like a baby.

"Come, drag this person down, behead him in the downtown tomorrow, and hang his head at the city gate."

Cao Cao ignored Bian Rang and scolded.

That side made his heart anxious, and suddenly pounced on Cao Cao, since he couldn't live, he also had to pull this traitor on his back. Bian Rang knew that he couldn't live today, and his hatred for Cao Cao made him desperate to pounce on Cao Cao.

"Flutter!"

Bian let his body stagnate suddenly, and he couldn't move forward in the slightest, and the sharp pain hit his chest like a tide, and he couldn't help but lower his head, and he saw a long sword with cold light, which sank into his chest.

Bian Rang raised his head incredibly, his hands clutched the long sword, his body became weak, and slowly, his consciousness began to die, and at the last moment, he only saw Cao Cao's hideous and indifferent face.

The sudden change startled the ministers in the palace and shouted, but Cao Cao was stunned, drew his long sword, and shouted: "Drag it down and hang his body at the city gate." ”

"No!"

The two tiger warriors dragged Bian Rang's corpse and walked out of the hall.

Cao Cao's methods shocked everyone in the hall and did not dare to speak. Liu Xie's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to speak in a trembling state.

Killing people in the hall, he Cao Cao is one, the former Dong Zhuo is one, and Lu Bu is also one.

He only hopes to end the early dynasty as soon as possible. Now Liu Xie understands that this Cao Cao, like Na Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, is a chaotic minister and thief, and originally hoped to be able to regain control of the court, like his father, as the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, commanding the world, but the reality is always contrary to the ideal. At this time, he began to resent Wang Yun in his heart.

Killing the border was just a means for Cao Cao to establish his authority, and then Cao Cao dismissed Huang Wan's ruling Jinwu in the name of Sikong and appointed him by Cao Chun, Wang Yun was demoted to the great Si Nong, and Yang Biaoshi, Sun Rui and others were all ministers and servants who had no real power.

No one dared to resist anymore, because they had become numb. When he was in Luoyang, it was like this, it was also like this in Chang'an, and now it is the same in Xudu.

In this way, Cao Cao easily took back power and set aside Liu Xie, Wang Yun and others, and since then, the imperial court decrees have all come from Sikong Mansion, and Wang Yun and others dare not speak out.

When Cao Cao gained power, he sent someone to pick up his father who was hiding in Langya to avoid trouble and a group of children to Xuchang. Let's say that Xuzhou assassin Shi Taoqian, because of Cao Cao's reputation, and the Son of Heaven in Xudu, intended to curry favor with Cao Cao, and sent his subordinate commander Zhang Min to protect Cao Cao's father and go to Xuchang.

This Zhang Min was originally born as a Yellow Turban thief, and after Zhang Jiao gathered a crowd to rebel and was killed, Zhang Min and others had no choice but to fall into the grass.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, gentle and humble, but did not want to, Zhang Min saw that Cao Cao's father's family was rich, and had evil intentions, and in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the torrential rain, even if his subordinates killed Cao Song's family, and then looted the money and left.

The news reached the ears of Taishan Taishou Ying Shao, who was frightened and hurriedly sent people to search for Cao Song's body, and then sent people to arrest Zhang Min, and at the same time spread the news to Xuchang.

It was already late at night, and in Cao Cao's room, Cao Cao, who was resting, suddenly woke up, turned over from the bed and sat up, feeling a kind of uneasiness in his heart, but this uneasiness didn't know where it came from, like a heart that had been stripped of a large piece of meat, pain and loss.

At this moment, Cao Hong wept bitterly, stumbled and broke in despite the obstruction of the guards, and said, "Brother, uncle, he ......"

Cao Cao was shocked, hurriedly helped Cao Hong up, and said, "Father, what's wrong with him?" ”

"Uncle he, he was killed......"

Cao Cao only felt that the world was spinning, and a mouthful of stuffy breath in his chest rushed to his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and he was so frightened that he was frightened left and right, and he screamed one after another.

"Big brother, big brother!" Cao Hong couldn't stop crying, and hurriedly called.

Soon the doctor came and checked Cao Cao's pulse, but after a while, he woke up and turned around.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Cao Hong said eagerly.

"Father......" Cao Cao roared in pain, then gritted his teeth and said with a hideous expression: "Tao Qian, swear to kill you." ”

That night, in Cao Cao's house, Cao Cao's hateful shouting and scolding was heard.

In Chang'an, in the study of the Taiwei Mansion, Lu Bu was flipping through the information sent by Li Ru. This information was all operated by Li Ru, and Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping sent people to infiltrate various places as businessmen, passing on information while doing business.

Although it is not yet possible to penetrate the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other places in the Mobei or the Western Regions in the extreme west, some information about the princes in the Central Plains must be collected.

Now the princes of the Central Plains, Hebei, Jiangdong and other places are attacking each other, and they are very happy, only Lu Bu and Cao Cao temporarily rest their troops and recuperate.

"Huh!"

Lu Bu's eyes fell on a piece of information in his hand, which had just been sent today. According to the intelligence, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was killed by Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Min and robbed Jinbao of his money.

Looking at this information, Lu Bu remembered that Cao Cao avenge his father in his dream, raised troops to attack Xuzhou, and slaughtered the people in the city every time he went down to the city.

And he would lead his troops to attack Puyang, almost capture Yanzhou, and was finally defeated by Cao Cao and fled to Xuzhou.

"It seems that soon Cao Cao will raise troops to attack Xuzhou."

Lu Bu's eyes were slightly condensed, and he handed the information in his hand to Jia Xu, who was reading the information on the side.
