Chapter Sixty-Nine: Murder and Authority

Although Lu Bu allowed Chun Yujia and the others to leave, two of them were unwilling to let go. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOne is Cai Yong, and the other is Ma Riyan.

Cai Yong is a contemporary Confucian, erudite, famous, and a representative of scholars. But fortunately, Cai Yong has been tired of officialdom since he cried Dong Zhuo last time, and he has devoted himself to studying scriptures and history at home, and he really doesn't listen to things outside the window.

Ma Riyan, is the grandson of the master of scripture Ma Rong, who was famous for his talent when he was young, and later became an official, and served as the third public, and he is also a famous person.

These two people, at least Lu Bu will not let them go, so among these people gathered today, only no one has sent anyone to inform these two people. Most of these departed people don't have a good impression of Lu Bu, and for Lu Bu, they can also save a lot of expenses, and even, when these people leave, they can only bring their families with them, and those servants and family members don't want to take them away.

When these people arrived at Cao Cao's place, Cao Cao couldn't ignore it, for the livelihood of these people, he had to spend a lot of money, otherwise he would have to make trouble.

Is the Son of Heaven without a minister still the Son of Heaven? Is that still the imperial court? Therefore, when Cao Cao got these people, he had to accept it, and he had to accept it if he didn't accept it. With these people, the Son of Heaven and Wang Yun and others are like having arms, and their minds are also active, and they will inevitably fight with Cao Cao.

This strategy is really killing two birds with one stone, what a Jia Xu, Lu Bu couldn't help but praise the old fox in his heart. His eyes swept over, and he looked at the ministers in the hall whose hearts were swaying, their expressions were excited, and they sneered in their hearts, and strode out of the hall.

In the camp on the eastern outskirts of Chang'an City, the family members of Wang Yun, Shi Sun Rui and the other four were taken out of the prison, and at this moment they all looked at Lu Bu who was standing on the point platform with an uneasy expression.

A month ago, they all knew that their head of the family fled to Cao Cao with the Son of Heaven, and then they were arrested and imprisoned, and they didn't know what would happen today, but they heard that Lu Bu was a tyrannical and murderous master. A month of dark prison life made these people spend in fear, not to mention that in the longer period of this slaughter, this sense of oppression, as if they were in hell, felt a kind of death horror.

Lu Bu was dressed in a long robe, with fish intestines hanging from his waist, his expression was cold, standing on the platform, and the family members of the school sergeant Sun Rui, Wang Yun and others all looked at Lu Bu on the stage uneasily.

Lu Budao: "Wang Yun, Shi Sun Rui, Huang Wan, Yang Biao, and Chong Ji no one coerced the Son of Heaven to Cao Cao, it is a crime of rebellion, you are all family members of the five, you should have all been killed, but you would not have been willing to kill more." ”

"Huh? Don't die! ”

"Thank goodness!"

"Lord Taiwei Xie!"

"Woo!"

Many of them wept with joy, causing a commotion, and were soon silenced by the loud shouts of the axemen on the sidelines.

"However, you are no longer allowed to stay in Chang'an, tomorrow Japan will send someone to send you to Cao Cao, which also shows the benevolence and righteousness of this general."

"Don't you want to thank you, Captain?"

There were already guards on the side, shouting loudly at everyone. When these people heard that not only would they not die, but they could also reunite with the head of the family, the family members of the five could not hide their excitement, and their gratitude to Lu Bu was beyond words.

LΓΌ Bu ordered these people to be kept in custody for the time being, and sent to Cao Cao tomorrow with those ministers.

Xuchang.

In the Sikong Mansion, Cheng Yu showed a look of anger on his face, and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, this Bian Rang really doesn't know what to do, and he often says to people, saying that the lord is not. ”

Since Bian Rang was appointed by Liu Xie as the assassin of Yanzhou, he thought that he had the protection of the Son of Heaven, and looked down on Cao Cao even more, and often insulted Cao Cao in public.

"Repay grievances with virtue, people in the world will think that virtue is noble, so why worry." Cao Cao smiled.

Cheng Yu wanted to persuade again, but at this time, Xun Yu came in from outside, and saw Cao Cao bowing to Cao Cao and said, "Duke Ming, Lu Bu sent someone to send the ministers of the court to Xuchang." ”

Cao Cao didn't reflect for a while, and said strangely: "Why did Lu Bu send the ministers of the imperial court to Xudu?" ”

Xun Yu corrected: "It's the minister of Chang'an, and at the same time, there are also the families of Wang Yun and others. ”

It turned out that Cao Cao and Cheng Yu understood that Wang Yun and the five of them fled to Xuchang, and the rest of the ministers did not follow a few people, and the two understood who Xun Yu was talking about.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "When did this Lu Bu become so benevolent?" ”

It stands to reason that Wang Yun and the five people fled to him Cao Cao with Lu Bu carrying Lu Bu and coercing the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu's tyrannical character, how can he be benevolent and virtuous, is this still the martial artist?

Cheng Yu on the side said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Lu Bu doesn't have a good heart, maybe these people really have his meticulous work." ”

"So what are these people going to do? After all, they are all ministers of the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven is like this, and there is no reason to refuse it no matter what. Cao Cao thought for a while and said to Xun Yu: "After these people are placed, send someone to secretly monitor and monitor them, and if you find someone with suspicious behavior, control them immediately." ”

Xun Yu nodded, turned around and left, he had to deal with these things personally.

Of course, these people did not include Yang Biao's family, Shi Sun Rui, Wang Yun and other wives and children all came to Xuchang, Xun Yu sent people to settle down, only to find that in addition to Wang Yun's family members, the rest of the ministers, when they came, they were all in addition to their wives and children, there were no maids and maids, no property, only simple luggage.

These people are all ministers of the imperial court, and when they arrive in Xuchang, they naturally can't stay on the streets, Xun Yu didn't agree, but these people began to make a fuss and went to find Liu Xie.

Liu Xie is the Son of Heaven after all, and asked Xun Yu to arrange these people well, but Xun Yu couldn't, so he had to send someone to buy some houses and settle these ministers.

After Cao Cao knew, he no longer praised Lu Bu as before, but couldn't help but scold, who called Lu Bu yin him.

Liu Xie has these loyal ministers, coupled with some connections of Wang Yun and others, and gradually has confidence in Xuchang, and Xuchang, which was originally calm, is also treacherous and undercurrent.

First of all, Bian Rang competed with Xiahoudun for military power in Yanzhou as a assassin, Xiahoudun expelled Bian Rang's lieutenant from the barracks, and Bian Rang hated Cao Cao even more, and originally just sat sarcastically and scolded Cao Cao when he set up a banquet with wine, and then began to hand excerpts to Liu Xie, slandering Cao Cao as a thief.

Cao Cao finally became angry, originally he didn't take Bian Rang such a villain in his eyes at all, but now, he also has the heart to kill this person.

Then, under the instruction of Wang Yun, Shi Sun Rui and others, Liu Xie wantonly rewarded several people as officials, Wang Yun as Situ, Yang Biao as Tai Lieutenant, Chong Ji as Tai Servant, and Huang Wan as Zhi Jinwu.

Not only that, Liu Xie also mingled with the guards in the palace every day, which finally aroused Cao Cao's vigilance.

Guo Jia's mansion, Cheng Yu handed Guo Jia a record of Wang Yun and others' actions in the past few days, Guo Jia casually kept it aside, and said, "Wang Yun and others are too anxious. ”

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes, this Guo Jia was standing over there. However, Guo Jia's strategy of taking what is taken in advance and taking retreat as advance is indeed clever, and Cheng Yu is extremely convinced.

Now I'm afraid that Cao Cao will have to strike first, and he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Zhongde, now you go and hand over this information to the lord, and the lord will naturally know what to do."

Cheng Yu nodded and went to find Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was watching the military report in the mansion, Cheng Yu walked in from outside, looking at the military report from Xiahoudun, frowning, and his face was gloomy.

At this time, the guards came to report, and Cheng Yu came to ask to see.

Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Cheng Yu in, served tea, and Cheng Yu handed a letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu suspiciously, then unfolded it, and when he finished reading it, he snapped it and slapped it hard in front of the case.

"Hmph." Cao Cao's face turned gloomy and said, "These people are really excessive. ”

"It's not just excessive, it's a suspicion of rebellion." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "My lord, the reason why Wang Yun and others fled Chang'an with the Son of Heaven is not only because Lu Bu is in power, but also because the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. Wang Yun was very powerful, and when he was in Chang'an, he was dissatisfied with Lu Bu taking away his power, so he came to Ming Gong. Now that he sees that the lord has respect for the Son of Heaven, he thinks that he wants to distinguish the rights of the public in order to prevent him from ending up like in Chang'an. Lord, at this time, it should be broken, otherwise, the foundation that our army has built up with great difficulty will lose its vitality. ”

"What does Chung Tak mean?"

Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao seemed to be a little hesitant, so he said: "Duke Ming, please come with me into the palace, and after Duke Ming sees and hears, he will make a decision." ”

The two took a few guards and rushed to the palace.

In the palace, on the wide school field in front of the palace, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, dressed in military uniforms, was practicing the art of martial arts with more than a dozen guards. Liu Xie's immature face was full of excitement.

"Ming Gong, please see?" Cheng Yu and Cao Cao stood in the distance, watching Liu Xie pacify and reward these guards.

Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao and stopped talking.

Cao Cao snorted and came to Liu Xie. Liu Xie saw that Cao Cao's face was ugly, and he didn't see him as a courtier like in the past.

Cao Cao didn't go to see Liu Xie, but there was a murderous aura on his face, and he drank the guards behind Liu Xie and shouted: "The Son of Heaven is the body of ten thousand gold, if there is any mistake, can you afford it?" Come! Dragged him down and cut him down. ”

Cao Cao pointed to the leader and shouted: "This person bewitches the Son of Heaven and wants to plot wrongdoing, and his heart can be punished." ”

"This?" When the guard commander saw it, he immediately begged for mercy and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have it, save me." ”

No matter how the commander of the guards screamed, the two tiger soldiers behind Cao Cao carried them outside the hall.

"Cao Qing's family, this?"

Liu Xie also wanted to explain, but Cao Cao interrupted Liu Xie and said: "Your Majesty, the minister came today to make it clear to Your Majesty that Yanzhou Assassin Shi Bian Rang privately recruited soldiers and horses, expanded his power, and plotted against him. ”

"Cao Qing's family, what evidence do you have?" Liu Xie wanted to say something, but Cao Cao didn't give Liu Xie a chance, so he ordered left and right: "From now on, you will take good care of the Son of Heaven to be safe." Wherever the Son of Heaven goes, you will follow, and if there is any problem, you will come to see him. ”

"No!"

The guards behind Cao Cao hugged their fists one after another.

"Why don't you invite the Son of Heaven back to the dormitory?"

"Yes!"

Cao Cao was just killing people to establish his authority.
