Chapter 430: Bloody Edict
Without Liu Bei's help, Dong Cheng was like a lump of mud, and he didn't do anything at all. Therefore, after he made up his mind to kill Cao Cao, he began to plot.
Dong Cheng knew that he was weak alone, and with his own strength, he would never be able to achieve the feat of killing Cao Cao. Therefore, Dong Cheng secretly contacted several ministers loyal to the Han family and finally the emperor, they were Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo, Chongji, and Wu Zilan.
But it's not enough to be a person, even if Cao Cao is a traitor, even if Cao Cao is a powerful minister, but he still has to be famous. Otherwise, then they and others would be chaotic ministers and thieves, and they would not have the will of the people, even if they really killed Cao Cao, they would not be able to stand Xuchang City.
Speaking of this, Dong Cheng immediately entered the palace to face the saint, and all he had to do was to say that the emperor would give him an edict. When you have an edict, you will be famous. Even if things broke out in the future, he Dong Cheng also had a plan to get out.
After entering the palace, Dong Cheng came to the emperor's bedroom. But what made Dong Cheng feel helpless was that the emperor's bedroom was now very tightly defended. Compared with the past, there are more than twice as many palace guards at this time.
Seeing this, Dong Cheng naturally frowned. He didn't expect that the war between Zhao Fei and Cao Cao had already burned into the palace. Cao Cao mobilized heavy troops to protect Emperor Xian, wasn't he afraid that Zhao Fei would suddenly attack and rob the emperor.
If it is usually over, but today is the most urgent time for Dong Cheng, and he is facing such a tight defense, even if he gets the edict, how can he bring the edict out. Looking at the soldiers of the Cao army who are like wolves and tigers, I am afraid that I don't have any majesty as the ruler of the country.
But since people are already here, it's a pity not to try. Come to think of it. Dong Cheng gritted his teeth, and then walked towards the emperor's dormitory. But before he could take a few steps forward, Dong Cheng was stopped by the soldiers.
"What are you doing, do you know who I am, I am the current ruler, and my daughter is the queen of today, how dare you be so unreasonable to me, aren't you afraid that I will punish you." Looking at a few Cao soldiers who stopped him, Dong Cheng yelled at him.
However, Dong Cheng's roars had no use for these soldiers who were accustomed to killing and killing people, and several soldiers restrained Dong Cheng, and then heard a soldier shouting: "What roar, I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are." All I know is that the Prime Minister has given the order. Now that Xuchang is an eventful season, we must take strict precautions, and anyone who wants to see His Majesty must have a physical examination. If there is resistance, you can kill them on the spot! ”
Hearing the four big words of killing on the spot, Dong Cheng instantly calmed down. He knew that there was no reason to talk about these big-headed soldiers. If they really resist, then these soldiers will definitely look at themselves and leave no room for themselves.
Seeing that Dong Cheng was honest, the soldiers showed a disdainful expression. I have seen a lot of such things, and when I see that I am really murderous, these important ministers of the court who have never seen blood are frightened like frightened little animals.
searched Dong Cheng's body very carefully, and Dong Cheng was put into the emperor's bedroom. When he entered the dormitory, Dong Cheng looked at a few soldiers with resentful eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "I will let you wait for two days to be proud, and when I kill the traitor Cao Cao, you will suffer in the future." ”
After speaking, Dong Cheng walked into the palace of Emperor Xian. Several soldiers looked at Dong Cheng's back, showing a very disdainful expression. Although several soldiers felt Dong Cheng's resentful expression, they were very unconcerned about this.
A rabbit is a rabbit, and a tiger will always be a tiger. Dong Cheng has been a rabbit for a long time, and even if he is really fierce, it is difficult to become a tiger. So even if Dong Cheng showed a resentful expression, the soldiers all smiled.
After Dong Cheng entered the dormitory, he saw Emperor Xian sitting on the bed with a silent face. Through the expression of Emperor Xian, Dong Cheng could feel that Emperor Xian's heart exuded a strong sense of helplessness.
"Your Majesty." Dong Cheng screamed softly, and Emperor Xian came back to his senses.
"Guozhang, you're here." Seeing Dong Cheng in front of him, Emperor Xian said softly.
"Cao Cao is actually like this, and he actually treats Your Majesty like this." Dong Cheng said very anxiously. This is the best time to show faithfulness, and this is a rare opportunity.
Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Emperor Xian's expression was very lonely. But he's been a caged bird for so long, and he's somewhat tolerant of these.
"Guozhang, what the hell is going on outside?" Emperor Xian has lived in the palace for a long time, so he naturally doesn't know what is happening outside. Especially after Cao Cao strictly guarded himself, he didn't know why this happened.
"This is also a good thing for Your Majesty." Dong Cheng hurriedly said: "Now that Cao Cao and Zhao Fei are like great enemies, the two of them are suspicious of each other, and they have mobilized troops to garrison their mansions to prevent each other's sudden attacks. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Xian showed a long-lost smile. This is undoubtedly very happy news for myself. Zhao Fei and Cao Cao had a confrontation, if the two of them really started to fight, the consequences would be absolutely conceivable.
Both of them have to watch out for each other, so they can do a lot of things. Although he is in the inner courtyard of the palace, there are still many ministers who care about him outside the palace. Zhao Fei and Cao Cao confronted each other, and these people could come out and move.
Moreover, no matter who wins or loses Zhao Fei or Cao Cao, it will consume the strength of the two people. At that time, I will have a chance to rise. Moreover, his imperial uncle Liu Bei still has thousands of people, let him bring people to Beijing secretly, and he will definitely be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman when the time comes.
"The opportunity is rare, what is the country going to do?" Emperor Xian showed ardent hope, and he very much wanted to take this opportunity to become a real emperor in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, I want to take this opportunity to kill Cao Cao, and then push all Cao Cao's deaths on Zhao Fei's body, and then we will push Zhao Fei out, saying that Zhao Fei is seeking power and usurping the throne and killing Cao Cao." Dong Cheng said very sinisterly. This plan is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only killing Cao Cao, but also making Zhao Fei lose his credit.
Hearing Dong Cheng's intention to get rid of Zhao Feidu, Emperor Xian showed a very unbearable expression. In his opinion, Zhao Fei is a very good talent, and now is the time to employ people.
Although Emperor Xian has lived in the palace for a long time, he also knows the outside world very well. The princes outside were divided and in chaos. Even if a Cao Cao was removed, the territory of the Han was only a little in his own hands. Moreover, he has to face the attack of others at any time.
If Zhao Fei is kept, then he will have the strength to defend against people from other places and have the strength to attack other places.
"Your Majesty thinks twice, that Zhao Fei can't stay." Seeing Emperor Xian show a hint of hesitation, Dong Cheng instantly knew something. Obviously, Emperor Xian didn't want to deal with Zhao Fei, and Zhao Fei was definitely a threat to himself if he stayed.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that Zhao Fei is also an ambitious person. He mobilized heavy troops to confront Cao Cao, which shows how sinister he is. Dong Cheng said bitterly. In any case, Zhao Fei must not stay, otherwise he will definitely threaten his position.
At this time, Emperor Xian was somewhat hesitant. Dong Cheng is his father-in-law, and he will definitely not harm himself. And among the many cronies, Dong Cheng is the most worthy of his trust. And seeing Dong Cheng's affirmation, Emperor Xian naturally didn't know what to do.
"But Guozhang, you also know that now that there are many wars, if there are no talents like Zhao Fei to suppress the Quartet, I am afraid that I will still be a caged bird." Emperor Xian shook his head and said. Obviously, he thinks more than Dong Cheng thinks.
Hearing Emperor Xian say this, Dong Cheng was very angry. It is said that Zhao Fei is resourceful, but now he is not in a hurry by himself. Therefore, Dong Cheng settled down, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are so many talents in the Han Dynasty, even if you lose a Zhao Fei, there are still thousands of talents, as long as Your Majesty can regain power, why worry that talents from all over the world will not come to take refuge." ”
Dong Cheng's words moved Emperor Xian very much, I saw him think for a while, and then said: "Since this is the case, then at this time, I will do everything according to your wishes." ”
Seeing that Emperor Xian finally agreed, Dong Cheng finally showed a relieved expression. At this time, he had a lot of imagination, because he knew that after this time, his status would definitely rise.
"But Your Majesty, I still have one more thing to ask for." After being overjoyed for a while, Dong Cheng suddenly spoke.
Turning his head to look at his father-in-law, Emperor Xian said in a deep voice: "What is the matter with the national abbot, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"As the so-called teacher is famous, I hope that Your Majesty will issue a secret decree, so that I can act according to the edict and not lose the righteousness everywhere." Dong Cheng said what he meant.
"It's a simple matter, but how can we bring the edict out of this palace surrounded by layers?" Emperor Xian said helplessly. You must know that now the palace has been surrounded by people, no matter in or out of the palace, it will be carefully checked by the garrison, under this premise, even if Emperor Xian writes an edict, how can Dong Cheng take it out.
You must know that this matter must be carried out in secret, otherwise as long as there is a slight mistake, it will definitely cost Dong Cheng's life. After all, the soldiers guarding the palace were all Cao Cao's men, and what he had to do was to kill Cao Cao.
After thinking for a long time, Dong Cheng suddenly had an idea. Then, Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty will write the edict on the cloth, and then hide it in the jade belt, and then bring this jade belt to Liu Bei last time, and you can take the edict out of the palace without knowing it." ”
After Dong Cheng finished speaking, Emperor Xian's eyes lit up. Dong Cheng's method is good, Liu Bei is his imperial uncle, and it is very natural to send a piece of jade to the imperial uncle.
"This plan is very good, so I will take what the abbot said." Emperor Xian nodded, and then prepared to draft and write the edict. But at this moment, Dong Cheng stopped Emperor Xian again, and then heard Dong Cheng say: "Your Majesty uses blood as ink, and you must be able to be more anxious and exciting." ”
