Chapter Seventy-Three: Snatching Love with a Knife
Dong Zhao was moved by Cao Cao's sincerity, and got up to give him a big gift. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Meng De is righteous, Zhao was deeply moved, but for Brother Meng De's kindness, Zhao can only say that he understands it. When the two Zhao brothers were desperate, Zhang Lang took the risk to accept us. In order to get rid of our sins, he tried his best to run back and forth, and if he didn't report it, he would stand between heaven and earth. ”
Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhao knew that he valued kindness and righteousness, and his appreciation for him took a step further, and he was even more reluctant to send him to death.
"Gongren and virtuous brother, it is certainly admirable to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, but in one life, if one's ambition has not been realized, it is even more regrettable to die and cry out? Zhang Lang is kind to you, and you will repay you in the future, and it is meaningless to lose a life at this time. ”
Dong Zhao glanced at Cao Cao deeply, and was a little suspicious in his heart. This Cao Cao, it won't be invited by Zhang Ji, and he wants to trick his two brothers out of Zhang's house, right?
Thinking about the past when Cao Cao killed Uncle Jian Shuo with a five-colored rod, Dong Zhao shook his head and secretly said that Cao Cao should not be that kind of person.
Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhao didn't let go, and couldn't bear to see him in a catastrophe, so he asked again: "I really help each other, and I also have this ability, Gongren and virtuous brother might as well think about it again?" ”
Dong Zhao shook his head: "I hate that I didn't know my brother earlier, but now I can only sigh." ”
Cao Cao was rejected repeatedly, and his heart gradually cooled. If you want to sacrifice your life for righteousness, then it will be up to you.
He stood up and took his leave. Before leaving, he said the same thing to Dong Wan. Dong Wan was quite moved when he heard his words, but after hearing that his brother Dong Zhao rejected Cao Cao, he also shook his head and rejected Cao Cao's kindness.
Dong Wanli sent him out, and secretly said a pity in his heart. In terms of family background, Cao Cao is much stronger than Zhang Wang. If Cao Cao had reached out earlier, his two brothers would definitely have forgotten about Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao returned home, he was still depressed.
Cao Song asked, "How?" So the Dong brothers can be in the Zhang Mansion? ”
Cao Cao recalled Dong Zhao's kindness of refusing him three times and twice, glanced at the Sikong Mansion Peng who was following his father, and said, "Yes, the Dong brothers are all in the Zhang Mansion. Changshi Dong Wan temporarily helped Zhang Wang's housekeeper, and Dong Zhao, Dong Wang's brother, was valued by Zhang Wang and regarded as a guest. ”
Sikong Mansion Peng's subordinates were overjoyed when they heard this, hugged their fists and thanked Cao Cao, and turned away.
Cao Cao turned his head to look in the direction of Zhang's house, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
When the soldiers of Sikong Mansion broke in, everyone in Zhang's house was stunned.
No one expected that Zhang Ji would dare to send someone to the door after being counted by Zhang Wang.
The housekeeper Dong Wan knew that the soldiers of Sikong Mansion were coming for his two brothers, so he hid behind people and did not dare to show his face.
Seeing this, Zhang Mane led his Yellow Turban soldiers to step forward to stop him: "Who are you waiting for, dare to trespass into the mansion of the examination of the Gongling Shi?" ”
Sikong Mansion Peng's subordinates looked up to the sky and laughed: "Little test worker Ling Shi Mansion, how can I not break in?" Your master harbored important criminals of the court, and this official was ordered to come and arrest them. Don't talk nonsense, quickly hand over Dong Zhao's brothers! ”
Zhang Mane secretly screamed that it was not good, it was not good to stop it, it was not to stop it, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Hong heard the sound, came out to watch the situation, listened to the words of Peng's subordinates, and questioned him: "It is the business of Luoyang Mansion to chase down the important criminals of the imperial court. If Luoyang Mansion has no authority, then it should be the thief Cao of Taiwei Mansion who came to take people, what right do you have in Sikong Mansion to dare to trespass into private houses and act arbitrarily? ”
Sikong Mansion Peng sneered, and took out the sea fishing document from his sleeve: "This case is not trivial, Luoyang Mansion requests our Sikong Mansion to assist in handling the case, the sea fishing document is here, what else do you have to say?" ”
The sea fishing document is a wanted warrant issued by the government. In addition to writing the fugitives' names, ages, and places of origin, the "sea arrest documents" are often accompanied by portraits of the fugitives, that is, "shadow graphics" so that the officials and the people can identify and arrest them.
Zhang Hong took the sea fishing document and looked at it a few times, knowing that this matter could not be forced, and turned around to give the pale Dong brothers a quick escape look.
Dong Wan turned around to leave, but was stopped by Dong Zhao, the matter has come to this point, and if he runs for his life again, it will be tantamount to causing trouble for Zhang Wang.
Sikong Mansion Peng was triumphant and shouted: "Sikong Mansion arrests the important criminals of the imperial court, who dares to stop it, it will not matter if he kills." ”
Zhang Hong was afraid that everyone in Zhang's house would act willingly, so he said loudly: "Don't act rashly, wait for your master to come back, and then make plans." ”
The Dong brothers were tied up and taken out of the door, Dong Zhao's face was still calm, but Dong Yu burst into tears, regretting that he did not accept Cao Cao's kindness.
Cao Cao pondered at home for a long time, and decided to try again to see if he could accept the hearts of the Dong brothers, so he came to the door of Sikong Mansion in advance to wait.
When the Dong brothers were escorted over, he stepped forward to stop the soldiers and asked to say a few words to the Dong brothers.
On the one hand, Sikong Fu Peng's subordinates accepted his affection, and on the other hand, they didn't dare to offend the son of Dahonglu, so they gave him a chance to talk alone with the Dong brothers.
Cao Cao stepped forward and said to the Dong brothers: "Don't panic, you two, I will invite my father into the palace to intercede for the two of you." Your Majesty has always been fond of my father, and the Ten Permanent Servants have also befriended my family, so you two will be safe and sound. ”
Dong Wan cried loudly: "I didn't know how to lift before, and I disappointed Brother Meng De's kindness. If you can not die today, you will have a grass ring that has been reported. ”
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and went to see Dong Zhao.
Dong Zhao lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that his brother refused to express his position, Dong Wan said anxiously: "Brother, you are confused, that Zhang forgot to help my brother get rid of his crimes, but he just said it, and he was not able to do it at all." Now that the two of us have been tied up here, where is he? I must have heard the news that Sikong Mansion was coming to arrest us, so we hid in advance. Such a person, do you still miss him? ”
Dong Zhao said this, just talking nonsense with his eyes open, Zhang forgot to accompany Douzi to find his parents, Dong Zhao didn't know, how could he, the housekeeper, not know. He deliberately said this in order to make Dong Zhao die, so that they could express their allegiance to Cao Cao together.
Dong Zhao sighed, finally couldn't see his brother die in vain, and said to Cao Cao with tears in his eyes: "Thank you Brother Meng De for saving your life." ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed to receive the allegiance of the two, and admonished the Sikong Mansion Peng family in a stern tone, and then hurried home to ask his father Cao Song for help.
Cao Song saw that his son had a heart of love for talent and wanted to save the Dong brothers, so in desperation, he put on a robe and went to the West Garden to meet the emperor and intercede for the Dong brothers.
In the West Garden, Wang Yue had already dedicated Baduan Jin and Changsheng Wine to Emperor Liu Hong.
Liu Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that what he said was serious, and even dared to use Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee.
After Wang Yue practiced both the seated Baduan Jin and the vertical Baduan Jin, Emperor Liu Hong was completely conquered.
He and the ten permanent servants followed Wang Yue to practice Baduanjin, and they all felt relieved, alive, refreshed, and couldn't help but trust the effect of Baduanjin on longevity.
Overjoyed, Emperor Liu Hong named Wang Yue as a loose cavalry attendant on the spot, and allowed him to often enter the palace to accompany him.
The nature of the loose cavalry attendant is the same as that of the middle attendant, and the rules are wrong, and the emperor's adviser is prepared, and the horse is scattered. Emperor Wen of Wei changed to a free cavalry attendant. The loose cavalry attendants are divided into substantive and loose officials, and Wang Yue's loose cavalry attendants are obviously just a loose official without real duties.
Despite this, Wang Yue is still very happy, as long as he can always accompany the emperor and serve him, are you afraid that there will be no chance to soar in the future?
Seeing that Emperor Liu Hong was happy, Wang Yue hurriedly interceded for the Dong brothers, hoping that the emperor would open up and spare the Dong brothers for their disrespectful crimes.
Liu Hong received three million atonement money from Sikong Zhang Ji, and he didn't take this matter to heart for a long time, so he casually agreed to Wang Yue's invitation and sent his chamberlain to Sikong Mansion to upload the decree.
Several people were talking about the miraculous effects that the immortal wine might have, and Dahong Lu Cao Song came to the West Garden to intercede for the Dong brothers.
Emperor Liu Hong muttered that the Dong brothers were very popular, and at the same time agreed to Cao Song with a haha, and earned a favor for nothing.
The Dong Wan brothers were escorted into Sikong Mansion, surrounded by murderous soldiers.
Zhang Ji secretly blamed Cao Cao for being troublesome, but he was unwilling to offend Dahong Lu Cao Song for the Dong brothers.
After Cao Cao begged his father Cao Song to enter the palace, he hurriedly came to Sikong Mansion and stopped between Zhang Ji and the Dong brothers, for fear that Zhang Ji would be impatient, so he ordered to cut people.
After the chamberlain came over to deliver the decree and forgave Dong Wan for the crime of disrespect, Dong Wan suddenly fell to the ground and cried.
Cao Cao got what he wanted, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Ji, he took the Dong brothers out of Sikong Mansion.
Dong Wan was crying while chattering about repaying Cao Cao's great kindness. Dong Zhao followed aside, never saying a word.
Wang Yue came out of the palace, worried about the fate of the Dong brothers, and also came to Sikong Mansion, just in time to see Cao Cao taking Dong Wan and Dong Zhao back to Cao's house.
Wang Yue didn't know why, so he stepped forward to ask about the situation, and couldn't help but be angry.
He suppressed his anger and said to Cao Cao: "Can you let Yue and the Dong brothers say a few words alone?" ”
Cao Cao was confused, gave him a face, and avoided the side.
Dong Wan knew that Wang Yue was Zhang Wang's sworn brother, and he still had resentment against Zhang Wang, so he said coldly: "I don't know what Brother Wang has to say?" ”
Wang Yue sneered: "How can I be qualified to advise you? Summoning the two of you, just to take one more look at the wolf-hearted and ungrateful faces. ”
