Chapter 125: The Edict of Clothing

Dong Cheng was very suspicious, when Emperor Xian handed him the jade belt, his expression clearly implied that there was something strange in his jade belt, but Cao Cao didn't find anything at this moment. But Dong Cheng's heart couldn't help but be stable, and he didn't dare to disobey, took off the brocade clothes, handed them to Cao Cao, Cao Cao shook the brocade clothes, and he didn't notice it, but he was still not at ease, and it was expected that there must be a secret hidden in the brocade clothes. So he lifted the brocade clothes and put them in the sun to look at them carefully, but he said:

"The holy brocade clothes are really good."

After a closer look, but still did not see the flaws, Cao Cao began to put his mind at ease, put a brocade robe, draped it on his body, tied the jade belt around his waist, looked around and said:

"How's it going?"

Everyone said in unison:

"Just right."

There are also humanitarians:

"The prime minister wearing this brocade and jade belt is indeed heroic."

Cao Cao said with joy on his face when he heard this:

"It fits so well, why doesn't Uncle Guo give it to Cao?"

When Dong Cheng heard this, he secretly scolded Cao Cao for being treacherous, but said on his face:

"The things given by the saint, I don't dare to give them away privately, if the prime minister likes it, Rong will sew it according to this material, and then give it to the prime minister."

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly approached Dong Cheng and said in a low voice:

"Uncle Guo didn't dare to transfer it, could it be that there was some ulterior secret in the meantime?"

Dong Cheng was shocked when he heard this:

"The prime minister is dedicated to the country, and the saint is grateful, is there any ulterior secret? Since the prime minister likes it, he stays. ”

Cao Cao laughed and said:

"I'm just joking, how dare Cao take the things that the Holy God has given him?"

After that, he took off the brocade clothes and jade belt and handed it to Dong Cheng.

On the same day, Dong Cheng returned to the house, picked up the brocade robe and looked at it carefully, although the brocade robe was big, but at a glance he knew that he could not hide something, Dong Cheng was very suspicious, and took the jade belt to see, this jade belt is white jade exquisite, crushed into a small dragon to wear flowers, the back is lined with purple brocade, the sewing is neat, there is nothing under the careful look, Dong Cheng pinched it carefully, but still did not see a thing, he did not understand, he wanted to open the jade belt, but he thought that this was a gift from the saint, he did not dare to open it, hesitated.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the emperor had a request, and at this time, he was not afraid of even death, and he didn't dare to do anything, so he picked up the jade belt and opened the thread, but saw that there were blood stains hidden in it, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He didn't know that this was really the cleverness of Queen Fu, on the same day, Emperor Xian cut his fingers on the bloody cloth, and Queen Fu sewed this cloth only as a jade belt in the belt, unless it was opened and looked at, who could see it?

When Dong Cheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, thinking that he was the king of a country, and he actually sent a bloody edict to punish him. As a minister, if you can't solve the country's worries, how can you not be sad and cry bitterly. Until late at night, I fell asleep on the table unconsciously.

The next day, Dong Cheng felt that the matter was very important, so he contacted several old ministers of the Han family who had a good personal relationship with him to discuss the plan, and everyone was deeply dissatisfied with Xu Tian's hunting, and they all thought that Cao Cao's dictatorship was very powerful, but the court and the central government were Cao Cao's cronies, and there were very few people with this ambition, and Dong Cheng was afraid of leaking the heavenly opportunity, so the number was not large.

Only the prince of Shilang, the general Wu Zilan, the school captain Chongji, and the speaker Wu Shuo, immediately everyone had the heart of rebellion, and the four of them left their names in the book to punish Cao thief. However, these four people have no military power, and they are indeed useless scholars who have the intention to kill thieves and have no power to return to heaven.

However, it was said that the four of them were discussing, and a doorman reported: "Uncle Guo, Xiliang is too shou Ma Teng to ask to see." ”

Dong Cheng and the others heard Ma Teng's request to see, looked at each other, that Ma Teng and Cao Cao are old acquaintances, Dong Cheng thought to himself, Ma Teng came, there must be a temptation, so he said to the doorman: "I only said that I have reported an accident recently, and I can't see guests." ”

But said that Ma Teng was originally a heavenly horse, this Tianma is fierce and straight, and has lived in Xiliang for a hundred years, Xiliang people are still martial, like fire, and the doorman is angry: "I clearly saw Uncle Guo came out of Donghua Gate yesterday, wearing a brocade robe, with a jade belt, and today he claimed to be sick, I have something to come, why refuse me?" ”

The doorman had no choice but to repay Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng had to say: "Princes, go into the inner room to rest for a while, and Rong will go to see Ma Teng first." ”

Dong Cheng couldn't help but have a big head when he thought of Ma Teng, and he didn't know what Ma Teng was doing so late at night?

Dong Cheng went out to greet Ma Teng with his heart, and the two of them finished their ceremony, and Ma Teng said:

"Ma Teng will return to Xiliang, and he is here to resign, why did Uncle Guo refuse to see him!"

Dong Cheng coughed softly and said:

"Dong Cheng has been really unwell recently, forgive your sins!"

Ma Teng glanced at Dong Cheng and snorted coldly:

"Uncle Guo is full of spring breeze, how can he be sick?"

Dong Cheng's face turned red when he heard this, how could he have thought that Ma Teng would be so ruthless, and immediately bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Ma Teng shook his head and said:

"There is no one to save the country in the court, so Ma Teng is leaving!"

With that, he got up and walked down the steps.

Ma Teng is the Taishou of Xiliang, his Xiliang soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and known as the name of loyalty, Dong Cheng heard what he said desolately, and felt that Ma Teng was full of enthusiasm, and hurriedly pulled Ma Teng and said: "Too Shou to calm his anger." ”

After that, he pulled Ma Teng into the hall and said:

"I just heard Taishou say that there is no one to save the country in the court, doesn't Taishou know? Prime Minister Cao Cheng welcomed the saint to the west and entered the Xu capital, pacified the world, conquered the south and the north, and relied on the court, how can it be said that there is no one to save the country in the court? ”

Ma Teng was furious when he heard this:

"You still say that the thief is a good person? Xu Tian's hunting is still vivid in Ma Teng's mind, I am still angry as a courtier, and the prince is a relative of the emperor, and the saint is humiliated, but I still don't know? ”

Xiliang was wide, and the people of Xiliang spoke like a bell, and a few words frightened Dong Cheng's heart, but Ma Teng's words didn't know how far they had spread. But what kind of person is Ma Teng, who is easy to with? When he spoke, he raised his voice early, although it seemed like thunder, in fact, only Dong Cheng heard it clearly.

Dong Cheng saw that Ma Teng was burning with anger when he said it, and his hair stood up, so he hurriedly grabbed Ma Teng and said:

"It's too guarded and don't be like this, there are many people with mixed eyes, and be quiet."

Ma Teng snorted coldly when he heard this: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are not enough to make a career with them!"

After that, he stroked his sleeves and left, Dong Cheng knew at this time that Ma Teng was indeed a loyal and righteous person.

It turned out that Ma Teng was coming to face the saint in the middle of the court, and when Xu Tian was hunting, he also participated in the hunting. This Ma Teng has always been noble, how can he bear it when he sees the saint being humiliated? Recently, I heard that Dong was summoned by Emperor Xian and received a brocade dress and jade belt, so he must have an inside story, so he came to ask for a meeting and wanted to discuss with him the plan to punish Cao. To correct the world.

Seeing this, Dong Cheng no longer doubted it, grabbed Ma Teng and said in a low voice:

"Don't be in a hurry, and follow a certain into the back hall, please take a look at something."

When Ma Teng heard this, he was suspicious, and immediately followed Dong Cheng into the back hall, but when he saw the four people on the seat smiling and looking at him, seeing Ma Teng entering, he knew that Ma Teng was a loyal and righteous person, and immediately got up to greet him. Seeing this, Ma Teng looked at Dong Cheng suspiciously, only to see Dong Cheng ignore Ma Teng, walk straight to the table and take out a piece of white cloth and hand it to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng raised his eyes to look at Dong Cheng, and Dong Cheng gestured to the white cloth in his hand. Ma Teng took the blood book on the white cloth suspiciously, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. After reading the edict, I couldn't help but be angry, biting my lips and teeth, and there were blood stains on my lips, and I said with tears:

"If the public has a move, Ma Teng will raise the Xiliang soldiers as an external response!"

Dong Cheng said hello, and immediately took out the righteous letter and asked Ma Teng to sign it. Ma Tengzhi bit his finger and signed his name, and Dong Cheng saw this and took wine and made a blood alliance with the five people:

"We swear to live up to our promise!"

Ma Teng pointed to the five people on the seat:

"If you get ten people, great things can be done!"

Dong Chengdao:

"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all Cao Cao's eagle dogs, and loyal and righteous people are rare, if they are not entrusted, they will be harmed."

Ma Teng thought to himself for a moment and said:

"The public is very true, the person entrusted must be loyal to the Liu family, and we can find people with lofty ideals from the Liu clan to discuss the plan."

Dong Chengyi patted his head and said:

"Fortunately, I was reminded too much."

After that, he took out the official book and examined the people of the Liu clan in the dynasty, which was the title of the roster of the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty. After browsing for a moment, Ma Teng suddenly said:

"Why don't I talk to this person about it!"

The crowd hurriedly asked who it was.

Ma Teng smiled:

"After Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei!"

Dong Cheng shook his head again and again when he heard this:

"Although this person is a member of the Han family, he is attached to Cao Cao at this time, and he will never do this."

Ma Teng shook his head and smiled:

"Uncle Guo's words are wrong, when Xu Tian was hunting that day, I saw Liu Bei's righteous brother Guan Yu seeing Emperor Xian humiliated, and he raised his knife and slapped his horse to kill Cao Thief, but Liu Bei stopped at it. It can be seen that Liu Beifei is unwilling to punish Cao, but he is forced by Cao Cao's many henchmen, and now is the time to employ people, Uncle Guo can give it a try, in my opinion, this person must agree! ”

When everyone heard this, they all said that they could give it a try, and Dong Cheng nodded.
