Chapter 154: Bloody Clothes and Edicts
replied: "Is there anyone else who hasn't seen Xu Tian's hunting?" But in the Manchu Dynasty, either Cao Cao's clan is worshipping under his door, if it is not a relative of the emperor, who is willing to crusade against the traitor? Lao Chen doesn't have much power, and it is difficult to do this, but I know that Dong Cheng, the uncle of the Che Cavalry General, can be entrusted. ”
Emperor Xian said: "Uncle Dong Cheng has rushed to the national disaster many times, I know it, and I can send him over as soon as possible to discuss major matters together." ”
replied: "The people around Your Majesty are Cao Cao's henchmen, if this matter is leaked, then it will cause great trouble!" ”
Emperor Xian said: "Then what should I do? ”
replied: "I have an idea, that is, Your Majesty can take a piece of clothing and a jade belt, secretly reward Dong Cheng, and then sew a secret edict on the inside of the clothes, and let him open it when he gets home, so that he will not know it." ”
After understanding this meaning, Emperor Xian began to act, in order to express his determination, he bit the tip of his hand, wrote with his own blood, and then asked the queen to sew it into the jade belt purple brocade lining, he personally wore this matter clothes, tied the jade belt, and sent someone to find Dong Cheng.
After Dong Cheng saluted, he offered the emperor and said: "I also told the queen about the suffering of Bahe last night, and remembered the merits of Uncle Guo at that time, so I announced that you would come over and offer condolences." ”
Dong Cheng kowtowed to thank him, Emperor Xian took Dong Cheng out of the palace gate, came to the Taimiao, transferred to the Pavilion of Meritorious Heroes, after offering the emperor to burn incense and salute, he took Dong Cheng to look at the portrait, and the middle was Han Gaozu.
Emperor Xian said: "Do you know where Emperor Gaozu started his business? ”
Dong Cheng was shocked and said, "Your Majesty is teasing me, how can anyone not know about the matter of the Holy Ancestor?" Emperor Gaozu started from the Surabaya Pavilion Chief, carried a three-foot long sword, slashed the White Snake Uprising, crisscrossed the four seas, and it took only three years to destroy the Qin State, and five years to destroy the Western Chu and defeat Xiang Yu, which established the Han Dynasty and created a foundation for all generations. ”
Emperor Xian nodded and sighed: "The ancestor is such a heroic figure, but his descendants are so cowardly, it's just sad!" ”
So he pointed to the portraits of the two auxiliary people on the left and right, and said, "Aren't these two people the Liuhou Zhang Liang and the Marquis Xiao He?" ”
Dong Chengdao: "Yes, Emperor Gaozu was able to create such a foundation because of the help of the two of them." ”
Emperor Xian looked behind him and found that the two eunuchs who served him were some distance away from him, so he secretly said to Dong Cheng: "You are actually like Zhang Liang and Xiao He, who are by my side. ”
Dong Chengdao: "I don't have any credit, how can I be compared with Zhang Liang and Xiao He?" ”
Emperor Xian said: "I often think that before in the Western Capital, your rescue merits can not be forgotten for a moment, there is really nothing to reward you!" After speaking, he pointed to his clothes and said, "I want to reward you with this dress on my body and this jade belt I am wearing, so that it will be like you are always by my side." ”
Dong Cheng thanked him, took the clothes and prepared to leave, and Emperor Xian whispered: "Aiqing can carefully observe this dress after she goes back, and you must not disappoint my kindness!" ”
Dong Cheng understood the intention of offering the emperor, put on the clothes, said goodbye to the emperor, and walked out of the cabinet.
Emperor Xian's every move was under Cao Cao's monitoring, and someone had already reported the situation to Cao Cao, saying that Dong Cheng went to Emperor Xian to talk to him.
So Cao Cao personally entered the court to watch, Dong Chengzheng walked out of the cabinet, and before he walked through the palace gate, he happened to meet Cao Cao, and there was no place to hide in the urgency, so he could only stand on the side of the road and salute Cao Cao.
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "What is Uncle Guo doing here?" ”
He replied: "Just now, the Son of Heaven summoned me and rewarded me with a dress and a jade belt. ”
Cao Cao asked, "Why do you suddenly want to reward you?" ”
Dong Chengdao: "This is because Emperor Xian remembered my previous rescue in the Western Capital, so he rewarded these things." ”
After hearing this, Cao Cao was still skeptical in his heart, and said, "Take it off and show it to me." ”
Dong Cheng knew that this dress must be hiding some secrets, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would see through it, so he kept dragging it and had no intention of acting.
After Cao Cao saw it, his suspicions became even heavier, and he hurriedly asked the left and right to forcibly solve it, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see any problems, and said with a smile: "This jade belt that rewarded you is really a good treasure!" Take off your clothes again and show me. ”
Dong Cheng knew that he couldn't help himself at this time, so he could only take off his clothes and dedicate his hands to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao lifted the clothes with his hands, carefully examined them in the sun, put them on himself after reading them, tied the jade belt, and said to the left and right: "How do you see the length of my body?" ”
The response was naturally very appropriate, so Cao Cao said to Dong Cheng: "Uncle Guo transfer these to me, I feel that I like it too!" ”
Dong Chengdao: "This is a reward from the emperor, I don't dare to give it away, I hope to allow the prime minister to find a better dress." ”
Cao Cao didn't give up, and said: "Uncle Guo accepted this set of clothes, is there some conspiracy in it?" ”
Dong Cheng knew that this matter might not be so simple, so he changed his mind and said, "How dare I? If the prime minister likes it, then stay with it. ”
Cao Cao smiled: "You have been rewarded by the emperor, why should I take it, it's just a joke." After speaking, he took off his clothes and returned them to Dong Cheng.
Dong Cheng said goodbye to Cao Cao and went home, and only dared to take things out again in the middle of the night, and carefully inspected them in his own academy, and he really didn't see anything special about it.
He pondered, "The Son of Heaven rewarded me with a robe and a jade belt for me to observe carefully, it must have been intentional, but now I can't find any traces, why?" ”
So he asked his subordinates to bring another lamp, and carefully observed the jade belt, the appearance of white jade is exquisite, rolled into a small dragon to wear flowers, the back is lined with purple brocade, and the sewing is neat, and there is nothing special to see.
However, Dong Cheng still felt that there must be something peculiar, while thinking, while checking, after a long time, he was really sleepy, ready to go to sleep first, and then study it in the future, when he left, he accidentally tripped over the lamp, and the fire fell to the back, and it actually burned, Dong Cheng hurriedly returned to extinguish the fire, and found that the fire had burned a little place.
He looked inside through this place, and found that there seemed to be blood stains inside, and he was very happy, and finally figured out the secret hidden inside, and quickly took a knife and cut it, and found a secret edict, which was written by the Son of Heaven in blood.
The content is: "I heard that in the human world, the father and son are the first, the respect and the humility are the first, and the monarch and the minister are the most important, and now Cao Cao is powering, bullying the monarch's father, forming a party alliance, and corrupting the dynasty, I can't be the master of all the rewards, I think day and night, I'm afraid the world is about to fall into a crisis." You are an important minister of the country, my relative, I hope to read the difficulties of Han Gaozu's entrepreneurship, to gather loyal people, annihilate the rebellious party, and support the community, that is the luck of the ancestors! I cut my finger and wrote this blood letter, I hope you must be cautious and must not fail me! ”
