When Dong Cheng was killed, Emperor Xian of Han was discussing with Dong Guifei in the back garden about the conspiracy of Dong Cheng and others, when he suddenly saw Cao Cao with his sergeant already breaking in with his armor, and his face was full of anger and murderous intent.Emperor Han Xian was shocked in his heart, knowing that the matter had been revealed, he still pretended to be calm and said: "Why did Prime Minister Cao suddenly enter the palace with so many people, could it be that something can't be done" Cao Cao glared at Emperor Han Xian and said: "Hmph, Your Majesty can know that Dong Cheng secretly colluded with the ministers of the court and the central government to rebel" Emperor Han Xian smiled slightly and replied: "Uncle Dong Guo's rebellion, Prime Minister, you are laughing again, now that my Han is so stable under the governance of the prime minister, how can Uncle Guo have the heart of rebellion, it must be the prime minister, you are too worried." ”"Then Your Majesty, have you forgotten the matter of breaking your fingers and writing the secret edict in blood," Cao Cao continued to ask.Emperor Han Xian continued to pretend to be stupid and said: "I really don't know what Prime Minister Cao Cheng will say." ”Emperor Han Xian pretended to be stupid like this, but it angered Cao Cao even more, Cao Cao didn't allow him to say more, strode forward and grabbed Emperor Han Xian's hands and looked at them carefully, but he didn't want Emperor Han Xian's ten fingers to be intact, and there was no sign of damage at all, Cao Cao suddenly became a little puzzled.Seeing this, Emperor Han Xian hurriedly smiled and said to Cao Cao: "These prime ministers can rest assured, how can I rebel with the ministers, not to mention that the prime minister treats me so kindly, what kind of broken finger repair edict you said was drafted by others in the name of me, and it really has nothing to do with me." ”"Your Majesty is so good, but that Dong Cheng is indeed the mastermind of the rebellion this time, and the crime of rebellion affects the nine clans, Dong Guifei, as the sister of the Dong thief, should be eliminated to avoid leaving a disaster."
After that, Cao Cao ordered his left and right hands to step forward and capture Dong Guifei.Emperor Han Xian hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her: "Concubine Dong Guifei has been pregnant for more than five months, and I hope that the prime minister will bypass Concubine Dong's life for the sake of the child." ”"No, if it weren't for God's favor on me, I would have been killed, how could I keep this thief's relatives as my descendants, and I must get rid of them."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he was ready to order his left and right hands to take him down.Concubine Dong Guifei was not pregnant, and knelt on the ground and said: "I also hope that the prime minister will be merciful for the sake of His Majesty's flesh and blood, and he can temporarily put me in the cold palace, and it is not too late to kill me when the child is born." ”"Do you still want to leave this evil seed to avenge you, don't look at you for the sake of the imperial concubine, I will give you a whole corpse."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he took out the white silk and threw it in front of Concubine Dong, causing her to commit suicide.Suddenly, Emperor Han Xian said unhurriedly: "Prime Minister, if you really plan to give Concubine Dong and this unborn baby to death, you must have the consent of one person. ”Cao Cao snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, joke, who does Meng De need to do things?"
”After Emperor Han Xian finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao calmly, only to see a look of surprise flash on Cao Cao's face, but in a flash, Emperor Han Xian couldn't help but marvel at the cunning of this old fox.Cao Cao pretended to be calm and said: "What does this matter have to do with him King Zhao, not to mention that what he did was according to the laws of my Han Dynasty, and this rebellious minister should not be kept." ”"Presumably the prime minister has also heard that King Zhao's wife is also pregnant like Concubine Dong.""
I've heard King Zhao mention this, but what does King Zhao's wife have to do with Concubine Dong, and what does King Zhao's child have to do with Concubine Dong's rebel.""
A few days ago, when the prime minister invited King Zhao and Uncle Huang into the palace, we talked about it, King Zhao was very happy, recognized Dong Guifei as his sister-in-law, and the child in his belly thought that he was a son or a daughter.King Zhao also said that if our child is a boy and a woman, it will be determined as a baby, and if it is the same boy and girl, it will be worshiped as a brother or sister with a different surname, so if the prime minister wants to kill the unborn child in the womb, he must also think about how to explain to King Zhao. ”After Emperor Han Xian finished speaking, he pretended to be helpless and entrusted all the matter to Cao Cao.After listening to Emperor Xian of Han's words, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this seemingly simple matter would have such a complicated process.If he insisted on killing this Dong Guifei, he would obviously damage his relationship with Zhao Yu, which would be extremely unfavorable to his future war with Yuan Shao.Thinking of this, Cao Cao pretended to be calm, with a faint smile on his face, pointed to Dong Guifei's bulging abdomen and said: "Since this son is the righteous son of King Zhao, the prime minister will look at King Zhao's face and spare the life of this cheap woman. ”After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand at the people around him and left, looking at the back of Cao Cao and the others in the distance, Emperor Han Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground with a pop, so shocked that Dong Guifei on the side ignored her pregnancy, and hurriedly bent down to support Emperor Han Xian: "Your Majesty, are you okay, thanks to Your Majesty's sacrifice just now, otherwise I and the child in my belly would definitely be separated from His Majesty's Yin and Yang." ”"Haha, what the eldest brother said is true, I really saved you and the child."
Emperor Xian of Han couldn't help but recall the strategy that Zhao Yu gave him when he was separated from Zhao Yu that day.In fact, this was originally expected by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and King Zhao, and the two who were familiar with the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms had already planned a preservation, that is, to link Dong Guifei with the child in her belly with Zhao Yu.And the so-called broken finger repair edict is just written with the help of other people's fingers, after all, the current Cao Cao, although he has enough ambition to dominate the world, but the forces of the various princes outside are stronger than one another.He coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes say that it was useless, and there were few princes outside who were willing to listen to him, and if he wanted to annex these forces, he could only look for an alliance.And among these people, the only one who can cooperate with him is that Youzhou Mu Zhao Yu, the current King of Zhao, Cao Cao has always valued Zhao Yu's ability and power, and fantasizes about how to take the other party into his own every day.Now that the two are involved in the matter of Concubine Dong Guifei, of course Cao Cao did not dare to offend her, and deliberately threw off his words.It can be regarded as letting others know that he has given Zhao Yu, the king of Zhao, a big face, a face that even today's saints can't have.Let's say that Cao Cao's anger when he returned to the mansion weakened slightly, but he felt a lot of unhappiness when he thought that the person who signed the sign and the two people who were alive, Ma Teng and Liu Bei.However, what comforted Cao Cao was that he didn't expect Zhao Yu, the king of Zhao, to have such a close relationship with Emperor Xian of Han, so he didn't participate in it.And this time the matter of breaking the finger and repairing the edict seems to really have nothing to do with the Son of Heaven, the ten fingers of the Son of Heaven are intact, this matter of breaking the finger and repairing the edict seems to be deliberately coaxed by those rebellious ministers in the name of the Son of Heaven, and they did not come to Cheng Yu and said: "Dong Cheng and other rebels have been killed, but Ma Teng and Liu Bei have escaped, I have a lot of unhappiness in my heart, and these two people must be removed." ”"Prime Minister, Ma Tengtun Army Xiliang is already like a frightened bird, you must not act rashly, you should comfort it with a letter, resolve its doubts, induce it to enter Beijing again, and find an opportunity to eradicate it is the best policy.And that Liu Bei is now occupying Xuzhou, dividing his troops to expand the horns, and he can't be easily touched, and now that Yuan Shao has stationed troops and Guandu, he may attack my Xuchang at any time.If we go east, then Liu Bei must ask Yuan Shao for help, and Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to attack, it will be a big second. ”Cao Cao shook his head and said: "What you said has some truth, but there are still some improprieties, Liu Bei can't be underestimated."
He and Zhao Yu are two different heroes, if we don't get rid of them today, when we are full and mature in the future, we will be a big enemy.Although Yuan Shao is strong and strong, he is hesitant to do things, in my opinion, it is nothing, not to mention that if Yuan Shao moves troops, we can instigate Zhao Yu in Youzhou to attack Yuan Shao, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not have time to deal with it at that time. ”While the two were discussing, Xun You and Man Chong suddenly came in, and Cao Cao hurriedly asked: "The two of you came just in time, I am preparing to go east to conquer Liu Bei, but considering that Yuan Shao, the evil wolf, is more worried, I don't know what to do." ”Xun You said without hesitation: "Yuan Shao is suspicious by nature, although there are many capable soldiers under his command, but they are jealous of each other, and they can't work together to serve the Lord, but in fact it is a plate of scattered sand, and there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that Liu Bei reoccupied Xuzhou and included the soldiers of the new army, and the hearts of the people did not obey. ”The full favor on the side also echoed: "Although Yuan Shao is a vicious wolf, but it is difficult to escape the hands of the prime minister's hunter, if the prime minister is unwilling to fight with the evil wolf, you can send someone to send a letter to Youzhou, persuading Zhao Yu, the tiger, to bite the evil wolf and contain its movements, so that the prime minister can also rest assured to deal with Liu Bei." ”After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly said with joy: "Haha, what the two of you said is exactly what I want, so I ordered to organize 100,000 soldiers and horses, divide the troops into five routes, and take Xuzhou directly." ”Cao Cao personally supervised the army's eastward crusade, Liu Bei's spies were shocked, and hurriedly rode their horses to report back and inform Sun Gan of the matter, Sun Qian first conveyed the matter to Guan Yu in Xiapi, and then personally went to Xiaopei to report to Liu Bei.The two discussed left and right, and finally felt that Cao Cao's army was bound to conquer, and Party B was powerless to resist and could only ask Yuan Shao for help to solve this crisis.After the discussion, Liu Bei personally wrote a letter, ordering Sun Qian to send it to Hebei, hoping to move Yuan Shao to send troops to resist Cao Cao's army.Sun Qian rushed to Jizhou overnight to meet Xin Bi and Fu Zhu, and entrusted the matter to the two to seek introductions, and the two immediately took Sun Qian to meet Yuan Shao and present the letter.But seeing Yuan Shao's haggard face and disheveled clothes, he couldn't help but ask, "Why does the lord look so bad today, is something happening?"
”Yuan Shao shook his head painfully and said, "Hey, I'm so uncomfortable that I'm going to die." ”Frustrated Professor was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Why did the lord say this" It's okay for Frustrated Professor not to ask, but when he asked, Yuan Shao became even more sad, "I have five sons under my knees, and only the youngest son likes the most, I never thought that the younger son suddenly fell ill and his life was on the verge of death, so I wonder if I am in the mood to talk about other things." ”Xin Bi hurriedly comforted: "Don't be sad, now that Cao Cao personally marches east against Liu Bei, Xuchang will definitely be empty, if the lord sends troops to raid, he will definitely be able to protect the world and save the people, this opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the lord must not miss it." ”:
