Wang Baoyu was so uncomfortable by the smell of blood in the air that she had a poor appetite and wanted to go back to rest. Cao Cao didn't agree, joking that he was able to capture Ma Teng today because of Baoyu's blessing.

Wang Baoyu's face was full of contempt, but he had no choice but to follow Cao Cao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The night is getting darker, the prime minister's mansion is brightly lit, and hundreds of civil and military officials have arrived, and the words of praise for Cao Cao are written on the bamboo slips, but I am afraid that the huge house will not fit.

Cao Cao was wearing a brocade robe, sitting on the top, Wang Baoyu was sitting next to him, also on the stage, and the people looked lazy, and they didn't take the people below in their eyes at all.

Sitting on an equal footing with the prime minister, and not thinking about his identity, many officials below showed indignant expressions, eager to pull Wang Baoyu down and beat him violently to relieve their hatred.

There were also some officials, with a look of panic in their expressions, who tried to sit in the back as much as possible, and didn't even dare to raise their heads, and dodged when they met Wang Baoyu's eyes. Wang Baoyu was disdainful in his heart, needless to say, these are the guys who jointly signed a letter with Huang Kui to kill themselves.

Cao Cao's eyes were rolling, and he always had a smiling expression on his face. At the beginning of the banquet, he first rewarded Cao Hong and other generals, rewarded him with gold and silver, and then raised his glass and said: "Princes, today we capture Ma Teng, pacify Xiliang is hopeful, and when the west is stable, Lone Dang will wave the army to the south again, sweep away Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and share the peace!" ”

"Prime Minister Hongfu Qitian, invincible!" The sound of whiskers resounded throughout the audience again.

Cao Cao drank three glasses in a row, and the atmosphere began to become hot, with the sound of clinking glasses and compliments endlessly. Wang Baoyu lowered his head and pulled the dishes without a mouthful, and he didn't speak, it is better to say less on this occasion, and when he looks at it, there is no one of his own.

"Baoyu, sweep away Xiliang, and loneliness depends on you." Cao Cao raised his glass to Wang Baoyu.

"Lao Cao, you are hurting me! I don't have what I can do, but I just go with the flow. Wang Baoyu said modestly and had a drink with Cao Cao.

"The first battle of Chibi, a million army! Xiliang is only 200,000 soldiers and horses. Cao Cao blinked and smiled.

"When I was fighting in Chibi, I was just fishing in a small boat and throwing stones into the river, and I didn't do anything serious." Wang Baoyu said.

"As the deputy governor of the Jiangdong Army, how can you be idle, you must coax me!" Cao Cao said.

Wang Baoyu scratched his head and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, my work at that time was very interesting, leading a group of girls around, singing and dancing for the soldiers, and enriching their spare time." ”

"Well, that's an interesting idea, and it can be adopted." Cao Cao said seriously.

"Lao Cao, I've drunk this wine and eaten the meal, can I go!" Wang Baoyu said.

"Don't be in a hurry, it's okay to sit down for a while!"

"I'm afraid I'll ruin everyone's interest here."

"Do you want to spoil me?"

"Of course I don't mean that," Wang Baoyu looked down with a bitter face and said, "You see, at least half of the people here want to kill me, and they all have stingers in their eyes, which makes people itchy and uncomfortable." ”

"Haha, I'll stop the itch for you!" Cao Cao laughed.

How to stop itching? Wang Baoyu was stunned for a while, only to see Cao Cao slam the table, raise his voice and say: "Don't make a noise, you have something to say." ”

The following immediately became silent, and as soon as he saw Cao Cao's expression, he knew that he had something important to announce. I only heard Cao Cao slowly ask: "Presumably, the princes have already learned that Guanglu Xun Kuai Yue and the squire Huang Kui have been exiled, can you know the reason?" ”

There was silence below, many people glanced at Wang Baoyu a few times, Cao Cao looked around, and asked again: "Why don't you speak, don't you agree with Lone's approach?" ”

"Prime Minister!" Finally, someone spoke, it was the strategist Xun You, who thought that he had a lot to do with Cao Cao, so he boldly said: "The minister really doesn't know, Kuai Yue and Huang Kui are all loyal people, how can they be blamed like this?" ”

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Huang Kui collaborated with the enemy Ma Teng, and there are now his own letters as evidence. And Kuai Yue acted as a tiger, colluded with Huang Kui in private, and was also a member of the same party. Cao Cao said, saying, took out the fake letter forged by Wang Baoyu.

"Lord, will this letter be fake?" Xun You asked again.

"It was sent by his wife and brother Miao Ze, how can it be fake? It's just that Miao Ze trapped Huang Kui in injustice in order to steal joy with Huang Kui's concubine, and the adulterer's adulterer and wife have been beheaded. Cao Cao said.

"Lord, this is even more suspicious, Miao Ze is resentful because Huang Kui beat the concubine, and this letter is likely to be forged by Miao Ze." Xun Yu Dao.

Cao Cao couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, why did he forget this stubble, now that Miao Ze has been killed, there is no chance to find out the truth anymore.

Cao Cao's face became very ugly, and the hand holding the letter was clenched. However, in front of so many people, of course he would not admit his mistake, and said firmly: "Then Miao Ze doesn't learn and has no skills, how can he have such a scheming?" I have personally verified that this letter is not a fake. ”

Xun You didn't speak again, and the ministers were also suspicious in their hearts, waiting for Cao Cao's next words to explain how to identify the authenticity.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't explain, but took out the joint letter that falsely accused Wang Baoyu and said: "Princess, I really didn't expect that there were as many as 100 people who had close personal relations with Huang Kui, which made people feel chills down their spines!" ”

When! When! Some officials were so frightened that their hands shook, the cup fell to the ground, and their faces showed a frightened look, and they regretted very much that they had mixed with Huang Kui's bad thing, Huang Kui fornicated with the enemy army, this crime is not small, and if you don't do it this time, you will be implicated.

Cao Cao looked down with a cold gaze, and there were a few older people who were weak, and they couldn't stand up at all when they sat on the ground with weak legs. Xun You also had a chilling face, regardless of whether Huang Kui was wronged or not, the joint complaint was indeed a taboo for Cao Cao.

The room was quiet only with the sound of big breathing, Cao Cao sneered, suddenly patted his head, and sighed: "I have a severe headache recently, and I often forget things, and I really can't remember so many names." Out of sight, out of mind! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao put the joint letter falsely accusing Wang Baoyu on the oil lamp and lit it, and when it burned most of it, he threw it below.

The officials watched unblinkingly as the joint letter turned to ashes, and not a single word could be seen on it, and they breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been granted amnesty. I also knew in my heart that Cao Cao didn't want to deal with them, so he trembled and picked up the wine glass again, and those who were paralyzed on the ground also stood up.

"Lone is different from that Liu Bei, he doesn't like to be righteous and make friends with dead friends. All the princes should take this as a warning, and from now on they should do their duty, and do not have different hearts. If you jointly persecute the saint and anger Long Yan, even Gu will not be able to save your life at that time, so why bother? Cao Cao said in a serious tone.

"The prime minister is wise!" Immediately, there was a thunderous response from below.
