Cao Cao slammed his head on the ground, his eyes were gloomy, his face was calm, his tone was humble, and he said: "It's a foolish minister, please punish your majesty severely." ”

Flies don't bite eggs, you, it's really hard for me to say.

Liu Wei looked at him and thought to himself, what should this Cao Cao do.

The current Cao Cao, although he is in his thirties, is still far from his ability and needs enough training.

Like the brilliant talents of the Three Kingdoms in history, the vast majority of talents have not yet been baptized, and their abilities still need to be tested.

Cao Cao, who was kneeling on the ground, saw that Liu Wei was silent, his expression was a little panicked, his eyes became more ruthless, and he didn't say a word.

Liu Wei thought for a long time before coming back to his senses, glanced at Cao Cao's white and tender back, took off his cloak, covered him, and said, "Say, what should I do with you?" ”

"May Your Majesty punish you." Cao Cao said without hesitation.

Liu Wei looked up at the moonlight, thinking in his heart how to hone Cao Cao, to say that there are indeed many places to hone people, but Cao Cao has mastered half of the forbidden army, there is no replacement candidate, and he can't completely let go.

Cao Cao couldn't hear the sound anymore, raised his head slightly, looked at Liu Wei's feet, frowned, and felt uneasy.

He is also a person who has the heart to do great things, in his thirties, if he is exiled back to his hometown, this life will be over.

Liu Wei thought for a while, then suddenly bent down, approached Cao Cao's head, and said in a low voice: "I will send Yuan Kui out of the city tomorrow to persuade Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing, and you will escort him." Two things, Yuan Kui wants to go safely and return safely. Second, keep an eye on them! I want Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing, and there will be no chaos! ”

Cao Cao slammed his head on the ground and said in the same low voice: "The minister's decree." ”

Liu Wei straightened up and said with a smile: "I have exempted your general and fined him for one year." ”

Such a punishment was already very light, Cao Cao kowtowed heavily, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" ”

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "Go back and freshen up, tomorrow morning, you will pick up Yuan Kui, if he calls for sick leave or something......"

Liu Wei's voice was calm and he didn't finish speaking.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed coldly, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister understands." ”

Liu Wei glanced at him, didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

After Liu Wei walked more than a dozen steps, Cao Cao put down his hand and watched Liu Wei's back.

He didn't expect Liu Wei to let him go so easily, originally thought that Liu Wei would severely punish him to appease the Yuan family.

The Sacred Heart is thick!

Cao Cao was both excited and hesitant in his heart.

Waiting for Liu Wei's back to disappear, he turned his head to look outside the palace, in the direction of the Yuan family, his long and narrow eyes were full of murderous intent, and he whispered coldly: "Today's shame will be repaid tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he hugged his arms and walked forward, he wanted to find someone to borrow a piece of clothing.

At this moment, Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Wang Yun, and Xun You came to Shangshutai.

The four of them rummaged through the cabinets, found too many edicts and official documents, and took out pens to record their official positions, powers and responsibilities one by one, and prepared to sort them out overnight.

Obviously, such a large project, four people could not be completed, carefully discussed, and mobilized reliable manpower from everywhere to fight at night.

I don't know when it started, there were forbidden troops standing guard outside Shangshutai, and the imperial chef also intimately sent many tea cups to eat.

At this time, Yuan Ji had already returned to Yuan's house, and in Yuan Kui's room, a lamp was lit, and the uncle and nephew had a secret conversation.

After listening to what Yuan Ji had seen and heard along the way, the corners of his face were as cold as knives, and he was silent for a while, and said: "Cao Mengde's move, you are right, and it is not surprising that the emperor will defend Cao Mengde." ”

Yuan Ji's expression was solemn, and he said, "Uncle, Your Majesty, is this really not going to let go of the beginning?" I really can't understand why he can't even tolerate Jian Shuo and He Jin, so why can't he tolerate the original? ”

Yuan Kui couldn't figure it out, it stands to reason that Yuan Shao should have been released a long time ago, before it could be understood that Liu Wei and He Jin were fighting for power, and using Yuan Shao to get stuck with He Jin, but He Jin was under house arrest in the palace, and the enthronement ceremony had passed, why did he refuse to let Yuan Shao go?

Don't you take into account the hearts of the government and the opposition, the ministers and the world?

The corners of Yuan Kui's face, under the reflection of the light, looked a little dark, and said, "Perhaps, he knows more than we expected." ”

Yuan Ji was shocked and said, "Then, what does Your Majesty want to do?" ”

Yuan Kui glanced at him and said, "His foundation is not stable enough, and he is just some remnants of the eunuch party and He Jin in his hands, and he may not be trustworthy in his heart, and he will not mess around for the time being." ”

Yuan Ji was a little relieved, and immediately said: "Uncle is right, Your Majesty can't tell which side these people are standing on, and whose people they are." ”

Yuan Kui's right hand rubbed his crutches gently, his scarce eyebrows were as sharp as a sword, his eyes were blazing, he looked at Yuan Ji, and said softly: "Qingzhou, I will arrange for you to make meritorious contributions and stabilize your position as a servant." Ding Gong and Liu Hong are all incompetent people, and the position of the third prince will not last long. ”

Yuan Ji understood his words, his heart was excited, his expression did not move, and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I still have some friendship with Zhu Yuanjun, this matter is not difficult." ”

Yuan Kui nodded, after this arrangement, the prosperity of his Yuan family would continue, and the fourth and third dukes would become the fifth and sixth generations.

……

The southeast corner of the imperial city, the north temple prison of the Yellow Gate.

The original ordinary house was built with high walls and thick walls, and the two bronze doors were half larger than the ordinary portals, and the bronzing plaque of the 'Yellow Gate North Temple Prison' was shining brightly, and it could be seen clearly even at night.

On the whole, it looks like the work of an upstart person.

Inside the gate, two rows of brick houses have not yet been painted, and the bluestone road in the middle has been extended inward, quiet and cold and dark.

At the end of the road, there is a huge stone stele, engraved with the word "edict prison" in pitch black, next to the stele is an iron cable gate, open, surrounded by black armor forbidden army.

Inside the iron cable gate, there were rows of cells, basically empty, and in the deepest part, a terrible scream echoed.

Zuo Li sat on the stool, his snow-white face was full of cold smiles, he was holding the jade pendant given to him by Liu Wei in his hand, and his eyes were staring at the three people not far away.

On the far right, his clothes were almost broken into strips, covered in blood, and his hair was scattered, from head to toe, and nothing was intact.

Zuo Li looked at him and said loudly: "Yuan Benchu, do you remember something?" ”

Yuan Shao hung his head, blood hung on the corners of his mouth, and said hatefully: "I only regret that I didn't kill you all at the beginning!" ”

Zuo Li laughed, his voice was a little sharp, and said, "You're right, that day, I almost died." ”

At this time, a middle yellow gate came with a team of guards, and large boxes were placed outside the door.

Zhonghuangmen quietly walked in, handed over an account book, and said in a low voice: "Nobleman, I haven't copied it." ”

Zuo Li took it, opened it, and sneered: "It's only 20,000 yuan, it's really a poor ghost." ”

One of the two people next to Yuan Shao raised his head and said with difficulty: "You got the money, you should let me go, right?" ”

Zuo Li closed the account book, and just as he was about to speak, Zhonghuangmen said in a low voice: "Nobleman, the person who stared at the Yuan Mansion said that Yuan Shu was out of the city and didn't know where to go." ”

Zuo Li's eyes were cold, but in an instant, he turned his head sideways and said, "Send twenty people to keep an eye on it, if he is out of the division, find a place where no one is around, catch it, and don't let anyone find out." ”
