Chapter 32: Court!
"Rui'er?"
"Middle Father!"
"Did you hear the password clearly?"
"I heard the middle father clearly!" Lu Rui arched his hand and bowed to Cao Cao.
"Okay, just do what the middle father did just now, do it again, and notify the people in the main hall of the Chinese army. Zihe, you stay, I have something to say to you. After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned around and entered the courtyard again.
"Yes, Father!"
"Yes, big brother!"
After Cao Chun followed Lao Cao into the courtyard, Lu Rui came to the main hall of the Chinese army, and the rest of the civil and military forces were already waiting here.
Lu Rui had just stepped into the main hall of the Chinese army, and everyone's eyes swept over.
Don't look at me like that, I'm just here to speak! I didn't think it before, but now I realize that it doesn't feel good to be watched.
"Master Hou, why are you here?" Guo Jia saw Lu Rui and was stunned for a moment, it wasn't Cao Chun who went to ask for a password, why did it come back to Lu Rui?
"Sikong-sama has an order, and tonight's password is: the shoe is broken. Reply: Do not sew shoes. Again: Shoes are worn. ”
"Boom!" As soon as Lu Rui finished speaking, Guo Jia spit out the wine he had just drunk.
"Master Hou, is this the original words of Lord Sikong?"
"Yes, Guo Junshi, this is the original words of the adults, please follow them!"
"Obey Sikong-sama's orders!" When everyone knew the password, they left the main hall of the Chinese army one after another.
When everyone was almost gone, Cao Hong shouted.
"Did the eldest brother drink too much? That's an interesting password! ”
"Big brother has always been wise, such a weird password is difficult for outsiders to crack." Xiahoudun blinked his left eye.
Lu Rui and Guo Jia glanced at the two of them speechlessly, isn't it just interesting? It's so meaningful!
After Xun Yu heard the password, his face changed slightly, he sighed, shook his head, and left the main hall of the Chinese army.
The rest of the scribes were not stupid people, and soon understood the deep meaning, and each of them had different expressions, all of them making their own little calculations.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" On the second day, Liu Xie summoned the ministers to the court to deal with Dong Cheng's bloody edict.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, the former general of the cavalry, Dong Cheng, made a fake edict to rebel, and issued a forged blood edict to those who were not subordinate in the court without authorization, intending to murder Lord Sikong and hold His Majesty hostage, please let Your Majesty know!" Cheng Yu was the first to stand up and kicked off the prelude to the court discussion.
"Dong Cheng is a loser to me, but Cheng Aiqing, as for whether other officials are involved in the case, it needs to be carefully investigated, and the innocent must not be implicated." Liu Xie tentatively asked the ministers, hoping to have a minister who supported him.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, Dong Cheng used his status as the ruler of the country in Xudu in the past, arrogant and domineering, often had illegal acts, forcibly expropriated private houses, occupied fields, and happened from time to time, and finally issued a blood edict without authorization, and the crime deserved death. However, the rest of the courtiers, except for the important people involved in the case, the old ministers believed that they were all forced to give in because of Dong Cheng's obscenity, and they could be dealt with as appropriate. Yang Biao immediately took Liu Xie's words, Dong Cheng is already the evidence and can be qualified, but others still need to be considered.
When Lu Rui heard it, hehe, this is interesting to the monarch and minister, Dong Cheng used to be a loyal and patriotic person, but now he has become an arrogant and domineering person, this kind of thing? The magnates have done not too little, Dong Cheng is still quite reasonable, at least he has made compensation.
Of course, Cao Cao's advisers knew Yang Biao's intentions, and Xun You immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang's words are wrong, and rebellion is different from ordinary crimes. But rebellion is the crime of subverting the imperial court and subverting the Han family, if it is not punished, there will be thousands of Dong Cheng, how to protect the country and society at that time? ”
As soon as Xun Yu said this, the people of Cao Cao's faction stood up one after another, and then severely criticized Yang Biao.
Yang Biao was attacked, Kong Rong naturally stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Yang and Lord Xun said is reasonable, according to the ancestral family law and the court system, it is reasonable to severely punish the rebel officials, but my Han rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and excessive killing really should not be, and the officials involved in the case can be dismissed and investigated, or demoted and retained." ”
"Your Majesty, the number of officials is insufficient now, please think twice!" Kong Rong directly prostrate at ninety degrees and pleaded with Liu Xie.
When Cao Cao heard this, Kong Rong was still a little level, and he actually talked about the lack of officials. Are the kings and ministers of the same heart? Okay, break your alliance first! Cao Cao gave Guo Jia a look, and Guo Jia immediately understood.
Guo Jia immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more matter that Your Majesty needs to decide!" ”
"Guo Aiqing, please speak!" Since the matter of Zhulian is stuck, let's deal with other things.
"Your Majesty, after Zongzheng's investigation, Dong Guiren played a great role in Dong Cheng's rebellion, and once assisted Dong Cheng in forging secret edicts and stealing gold seals, the crime is unforgivable, please sentence Your Majesty to death according to law!"
"This." When Liu Xie heard it, he was stunned, the news from the prison that Dong Guiren was pregnant, and according to the wizard's calculations, it was a baby boy, and Dong Guiren was executed? That's not to cut off your own heirs!
"Guo Aiqing is reasonable, but Dong Guiren is already pregnant with Liujia and has an heir of the heavenly family, can Dong Guiren give birth to the heir of the Liu family and then execute?" Liu Xie asked tentatively.
Cao Cao smiled, the poisonous plan has come out, Yang Biao, Kong Rong, how do you take it?
"Your Majesty, although Dong Guiren is guilty, but the child is not guilty, the heir of the heavenly family should stay, and the minister seconded it!" Kong Rong didn't think much about it, and immediately stood up to support Liu Xie.
As soon as Kong Rong said this, the court was surprisingly quiet, and no one from Cao Cao's faction objected, just stood there quietly, waiting.
Kong Rong looked around in surprise, Cao Cao's people were all dead? I don't object to myself, what did I propose before, Cao Cao's people must have come to chill himself for the first time, at least make a sound, this time? Not a single one came out!
There was a strange scene in the court, no one echoed it, and no one objected, which made Kong Rong and Liu Xie not know how to continue.
Liu Xie saw that no one objected to Kong Rong's suggestion, and his heart was hot, he was saved, Dong Guiren was saved! Liu Xie was about to agree with Kong Rong's suggestion when a discordant voice came.
"Your Majesty, the old minister, Dong Guiren can't stay, Dong Cheng conspired against him, Dong Guiren cooperated, and should be beheaded according to the law of the country, just as the so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, how can he ignore the national law because Dong Guiren is pregnant with a dragon seed!" A deep voice suddenly came, and everyone was stunned when they saw it, this person was actually Yang Biao!
What a great old fox! Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, Yang Biao knew the magic of this plan so quickly? It's not the old man of the Yang family.
"Yang Aiqing." Liu Xie was stunned, he didn't know why Yang Biao wanted to oppose him, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yang Biao has always protected him, and now, his own heir? He's going to kill him!
"The old lady understands the righteousness, Lu Rui admires, and the minister Lu Rui seconded Lord Yang's proposal, Dong Guiren is unforgivable, please think twice!" Since Yang Biao has seen through it, then use the second trick to pull you into the water, anyway, the person who asked to kill Dong Guiren was Yang Biao, not Cao Cao's person.
Seeing Lu Rui stand up, the people on Cao Cao's side immediately stood up and made an uproar. shouted in unison: "The old lady is well aware of the righteousness, Dong Guiren is unforgivable, please Your Majesty deal with Dong Guiren in accordance with the law of the country, and the ministers and others seconded Lord Yang's suggestion." ”
At this time, the court was one-sided, and many people loyal to Liu Xie were arrested because of the bloody edict, and there were not many people left, plus Yang Biao's appearance, everyone didn't know how to deal with it, this is what Yang Biao meant? Or does Liu Xie mean it? Those who wanted to stand up against it bowed their heads and remained silent.
"What do you think?" Liu Xie asked the ministers weakly, hoping that a few more people would come out to seconded Kong Rong.
The court was silent again, no one seconded it, Kong Rong was also very embarrassed, he thought that Yang Biao would support him, but now that Yang Biao is against it, he can't say anything more.
"Minister Cao Cao seconded the suggestion of the old lady, please ask Your Majesty to kill Dong Guiren and correct the dynasty!" Cao Cao finally stood up and gave Liu Xie one last piece of advice.
"This. According to what Zhongqing said, this matter was handed over to Sikong Cao Cao and Yang Biao, and as for the rest of the traitors, they were also dealt with by the two. ”
"Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"
Liu Xie is no longer able to deal with the government, his mind is blank now, he doesn't know why Yang Biao is against Kong Rong, his child is gone, as a father, a ninety-five honor, the child can't be protected, what's the point?
"Old lady, thank you, thank you for your help!" After the next court, Cao Cao walked in front of Yang Biao for the first time and said a few words.
Many courtiers were stunned, is this still Yang Biao? Yang Biao, who was whipped by Cao Cao because of Yuan Shu's affairs? Or is it the Yang Biao who is in Luoyang and Chang'an, scolding Dong Zhuo and Guo Li? Or Yang Biao, who has always protected Liu Xie? I can't understand it, I really can't understand it!
"Lord Sikong, it's serious. This is a state affair, and Biao is just doing his duty. Yang Biao arched his hand helplessly, Cao Cao's serial plan? It's so powerful, I also fell into a trap.
At night, in Sikong Mansion, Lu Rui and Guo Jia were drinking in the courtyard, and Lu Rui said angrily: "It's a pity that Yang Biao's old fox has made us lose an opportunity to purge the courtiers!" ”
Guo Jia took a sip of wine from the gourd and said, "Rui'er, although your suggestion is good, but Yang Biao is an old man immersed in officialdom, as long as you think about it a little, Rui'er's plan is very clear." ”
"I didn't think about fooling Yang Biao, I just didn't expect him to react so quickly!" Lu Rui took a bite of the chicken leg and said dissatisfied. It was the first time he proposed a plan to Cao Cao, and he was easily cracked by Yang Biao.
"Hahahaha, Rui'er doesn't have to be angry, Rui'er has this idea at a young age, it's very good!" Cao Cao heard the conversation between the two and walked up to the pavilion with a smile.
"Lord!"
"Middle Father!"
"Sit down!"
"Rui'er wants to keep Dong Guiren and use Dong Guiren's son in the womb to threaten Your Majesty. Waiting for an opportunity to find an excuse to eradicate people loyal to His Majesty, but Yang Biao is not a stupid person, in order to preserve the strength of the courtiers, it is worth sacrificing a woman, Rui'er should not underestimate the world's wise and resourceful people! ”
"Yes, Father!"
"After this battle, Yang Biao, you should also make a choice!" Cao Cao touched his beard and said to himself.
