Chapter 40 Section five

In the afternoon of that day, inside the snow-covered palace, there was a tense atmosphere. Surrounded by several eunuch guardians, Huang Fu rushed across the snow, panting to the front of the hall.He waved back and forth, and entered the hall alone.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was pacing back and forth in anxiety and panic.Empress Fu sat there motionless and looked at him.Seeing Huang Fu coming in, Emperor Han Xian stopped anxiously, and asked, "What's new?" Huang Fu said, "This time it was a verbal report from Zhao Yan. The imperial physician Ji Ping had indeed gone to Cao's mansion, and it was revealed that the poisoning failed." It is indeed a confession, saying that uncle Guo ordered it." Han Xiandi was stunned for a while, and said anxiously: "How could such a thing happen?" Huang Fu looked at Han Xiandi's face, and said cautiously: "The matter originated from the country. A slave named Qin Qingtong in my uncle’s family was discovered by my uncle because he had an affair with his concubine. After being found out, he beat him up and locked him up. Qin Qingtong escaped over the wall overnight and went to Cao Cao’s mansion to report the secret.” Han Xiandi asked: “What else? Huang Fu continued: "I don't know how much information Cao Cao has. I heard that the uncle of the country and some people who have close contacts with the uncle of the country, such as Wang Zifu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, have been monitored by Cao Cao." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty He waved his sleeve anxiously: "Why did you hear that?" Huang Fu said: "I'm really not sure. Also, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month tomorrow, Cao Cao is going to host a banquet for the emperor on behalf of the emperor at the prime minister's mansion. It’s a decree. Some people say that this is a Hongmen banquet. At that time, those who conspired to instruct Imperial Physician Ji may be wiped out.”

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty flicked his sleeves when he heard this, put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the hall, and stopped for a while: "It's all because of a servant. What happened to Taiwei Yang Biao was caused by a servant named Yang Xiao in the mansion. , As a result, Yang Biao got rid of him at once. This country’s uncle’s family is also a domestic servant. Why can’t even manage a servant? The servant should serve the master, but why did the servant become the master’s house instead.” Huang Fu echoed. : "If it doesn't work, the master will die." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "You must understand that a servant can't be beaten casually. Once he is beaten, he can't be allowed to run away." Huang Fu echoed: "The emperor has never beaten a slave like this. Even if you beat me, the servant is willing." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Huang Fu a white look: "Then you are clever. If you are not clever, can you avoid beating? I never beat you, didn't I beat others? Your brother Huang Didn't he get three hundred rods?" Huang Fu said: "Then he should be beaten. He wants to run, but he can't get out of the palace." Han Xiandi rolled his eyes: "He can't get out of the palace?" He seemed to think of something: "Where is Huang Er now? Why hasn't he seen him in the past few months?" Huang Fu said: "Last time he eavesdropped on the emperor, the emperor told him to beat him so that he would not die or live, and even said he would be deaf. As a result, the beating was a bit heavy, and it was still closed. Since it is closed, it can be regarded as recuperating." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked: "Have you not recovered in a few months?" Huang Fu pondered the words and replied: "Report to the emperor, Huang Er He was always dissatisfied after being beaten, and always made troubles, so he was locked up all the time, not daring to let him show himself in front of the emperor."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and waved his sleeves: "Lead him to see me." Huang Fu was stunned, and looked at Han Xiandi: "Don't you dare?" Han Xiandi waved his hand impatiently: "If you don't dare, go if you are told." Huang Fu went out puzzled. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sat down firmly, and said to Empress Fu: "What I am most worried about now is not that my uncle will be exposed, but at worst, my uncle will become a sacrifice for worshiping the ancestors. What I am most worried about is my handwritten secret edict. Don't fall into Cao's hands, that will make it difficult for me to retreat. But now, the secret edict can't be taken back, so I can only think of other strategies to prevent problems before they happen. Yang Taiwei's place, Guojiu Dong Cheng's place, all It was the master who beat the servant and ran away, and the house slave became an informer. Inspired by this, I just want to use a countermeasure. The queen also please step back first, and when Huang Er comes, I will talk to him alone." Queen Fu glanced thoughtfully. He glanced at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty must be meticulous in doing this, and there should be no loopholes." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said, "Don't worry, it will be done seamlessly."

Surrounded by several eunuchs, Huang Fu led Huang Er hurriedly through the corridor and across the yard to step on the snow. Huang Er raised his sleeves and wiped his tears as he walked.Huang Fu turned around and scolded: "It's too late to cry after seeing the emperor!" Only then did Huang Er stop.At the gate of the hall, Huang Fu took Huang Er into the hall.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was sitting there alone. When Huang Er saw him, he fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Slave Huang Er wishes the emperor a long life!"Emperor Xian of Han stood up and waved Huang Fu back.

Huang Fu looked at it worriedly, a little afraid of accidents, but he backed away helplessly. Emperor Xian of Han walked up to Huang Er and said, "I know you are wronged." Huang Er didn't hear clearly, looked up at Emperor Xian of Han, pointed to his ears, and said, "I have been deaf from the beating, so I can't hear clearly. "Speaking and crying again.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty yelled: "Why are you crying? I want to talk to you." Huang Er held back his tears.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said in a slightly louder voice: "Can you hear me talking like this?" Huang Er nodded.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at the door and window, leaned over and said to Huang Er with an inaudible voice outside the door: "I know you are wronged, do you hear me?" Huang Er nodded. "I know you are loyal, do you hear me?" Huang Er nodded again. "I know that it was Huang Fu lying outside the door and eavesdropping on my conversation with Uncle Guo, and you were watching him. Did you hear that?" Huang Er nodded again. "The reason why I beat you last time was to sharpen your temper and test your loyalty, in order to reuse you one day. Can you understand me?"

Huang Er knelt there and raised his head, wiped away his tears, and said, "Your servant understands." Emperor Xian of the Han then said: "I want to send you to do one of the most confidential things, of course it is also a risky thing, do you dare to do it?" "I will only tell you about this matter, and you must not tell anyone else." Huang Er said, "I understand." Han Xiandi said, "I will make an order later and send you Go to uncle Dong Cheng's mansion to declare the decree." Huang Er said: "Your servant understands, let me go to uncle Dong Cheng's mansion to proclaim the decree." Han Xiandi continued: "You left the palace halfway to Dong's mansion, but you have to escape to Cao Cao Prime Minister, become an informer." Huang Er was stunned, not knowing what he meant.Emperor Xian of Han went on to say: "Information is false, countermeasures are true." Huang Er blinked, and suddenly understood: "False informant, false report, break into Cao's mansion." Han Xiandi said: "That's right. You go to Cao's mansion Cao Cao will definitely interrogate you personally if you inform me. Now I will teach you how to answer. Do you understand?" Huang Er said, "I understand."

Emperor Xian of the Han then stretched out a finger and said: "First, you have to explain clearly to Cao Cao why you were beaten a few months ago. To be honest, I said that I was talking with my uncle in the palace, and Huang Fu was eavesdropping outside the door. You Watching from behind, you can hear everything that is said clearly, let alone Huang Fu. But when I opened the door and discovered Huang Fu's wiretapping, Huang Fu refused to admit it, and when you came out to testify, he beat you up. Why? You can tell the truth when you are beaten, and you can learn from my angry words. There is only one thing to change. Didn’t you hear me say that after the matter is completed, you will be appointed to this or that official?" Huang Er said: "I am not slippery. , short-sighted, but has a good memory. I remember the emperor said that day that the uncle of the country should be made a captain, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry should also be named Prince Fu, Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji, Yilang Wu Shuo, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan, etc. I remember all the official titles of some people. I also remember the title of Zhao Yanzhong Cheng Yushi. I also remember the words of Ma Teng and Liu Huangshu." Han Xiandi said: "Okay .These words are all truthful, but I have to change it a bit. Don’t say that I said it, but that it was said by Guojiu. Originally, these words were said by Guojiu first, and I just repeated them. You said you heard what Uncle Guo said, do you understand?"

Huang Er rolled his eyes: "Understood. It is to choose the emperor, let Cao thief hate the uncle, and stop talking to the emperor forever." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he thought it was unpleasant, and then said: "Yes, that's what it means." He stretched out his second finger, "Second, just tell me, you have been talking about it for the past few months. Dissatisfied, making troubles all the time, being locked up all the time, this is all truthful, but in the end you have to change it, you think it’s nothing to be locked up all the time, and you have to find a way to get out to get revenge, so you start to pretend to be honest, like this, Huang Fu I will let you out for activities. Understand?"

Huang Er opened his eyes wide, put his hands on his ears to help his hearing, nodded and said, "I understand." Emperor Xian of the Han then stretched out his third finger: "Third, I am going to send someone to the uncle's mansion today to announce the decree and let the uncle enter the palace. Why didn't you send Huang Fu instead? It's because Huang Fu has a big goal. You The goal is small. Understand?" Huang Er still listened hard with his hands on his ears, and said: "Understood." Han Xiandi stretched out his fourth finger: "Then, you said, you ran to the Cao Mansion while you were out of the palace to announce the decree. Here you come. Understand?" Huang Er said: "Understood. Going on, what if Cao Cao asks me something else?" Han Xiandi said: "You only need to learn the details of what you heard that day. Other things , You said that you can't get close to me usually, so I don't know."

Huang Er asked, "What's next?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment, and said: "It depends on your ability, you have to find a way to gain Cao Cao's trust and stay in the prime minister's residence." Huang Er thought for a while and said: "I just said that I am a useless person. I can't do anything else. I stay in the mansion to serve the prime minister and a family member. It is more convenient than ordinary men and stronger than ordinary women." Han Xiandi said: "Yes. If you go further down, you can take action and do things for me." Huang Er said, "I'll just take advantage of the opportunity to kill Cao Cao. As long as I can get close to him, I can use any method. I also know some martial arts, but it really won't work. , just take a kitchen knife."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "If you can destroy the Cao thief, you will have made the greatest contribution in the world. I will not be manipulated by this country thief, and I will be able to dominate the world. At that time, I will definitely reward you, make you ten thousand households, and honor your ancestors. At this time, Huang Er solemnly kowtowed his head three times, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want those rewards for slaves. As long as the emperor trusts you first, and let me go back to the palace to replace Huang Fu as the chief eunuch, I am satisfied." Alright." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "As long as this great success is completed, you will be allowed to return to the palace as a great eunuch, and everything in the palace will be the prime minister. Huang Fu is also under your control." Huang Er said: "Then this slave I must have died for the emperor." Han Xiandi said: "A few months ago, I took the opportunity to beat you up, just to set up this bitter trick today. If there is no bitter trick, you go to the Cao Mansion to rebel, and no one will believe you. It's only done when the bitter trick can't be used, and it's easy to make people suspicious. Only if you do it long ago, it will be true now. I have always believed in you the most, so I sent you to monitor Huang Fu." Huang Er knelt on the ground It said there: "As long as the emperor believes in the loyalty of the slave, it is not a pity for the slave to die." Han Xiandi said: "You step back first. I will send you out of the palace to announce the decree in a while." Huang Er withdrew.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said loudly: "Come here." Huang Fu came in in response. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said: "The decree is issued immediately, and Dong Cheng, the uncle of the general who announces the car and rides, will enter the palace immediately to see me." Huang Fu said: "Is it enough to pass the imperial decree orally? When the wind is getting tight, it will not be too disturbing to use the decree in plain text. Emperor Xian of the Han waved his sleeves: "Because the wind is so tight, who would really believe it?" Huang Fu said, "The imperial decree can be executed immediately. Who will be sent to proclaim it?" Emperor Xian of the Han said, "Your goal is too big. Big, let Huang Er go, don’t take the palace sedan chair, just take the sedan chair and go with two people.” Huang Fu was full of doubts, blinking and said: “The emperor forgives this slave for daring to speak, one, isn’t the uncle of the country already under surveillance? Is it convenient to enter the palace? One, Huang Erlian has been locked up for several months. I don’t know if he harbors resentment? It seems inappropriate to use this person to leave the palace.” Han Xiandi took a few steps, stopped and reprimanded: “Yang Biao, Guojiu and others How can I do such a foolish thing? I have already made Huang Er grateful with a few words, so how can I have two hearts?" Huang Fu could only say: "The servant will go to the written imperial decree immediately, Let Huang Er go out of the palace to announce." Huang Fu withdrew.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty thought he had a plan, and said loudly: "Where is the queen? Quickly invite the queen to come and talk to me." Huang Ercheng left the palace in a sedan chair and went to Dong Cheng's mansion to announce the decree.In order not to be ostentatious, the eunuchs who carried and followed the sedan chair did not wear palace clothes, but ordinary people.Huang Eryi got on the sedan chair and designated a route passing through the Prime Minister's Mansion.As soon as the sedan chair reached the gate of Xiangfu, Huang Er stomped his feet and shouted to stop.He got off the sedan chair and said to the eunuchs accompanying the sedan chair, "I still have an order from the emperor to Prime Minister Cao." Then, he walked straight to the gate.The guards and soldiers of the strict guards wanted to ask questions to stop them, but Huang Er entrusted the imperial decree of Huang Ling's scroll and said loudly: "I am here to proclaim the decree." Looking at Huang Er's palace uniform, with a gold medal for entering and leaving the palace gate hanging on his waist, The soldiers immediately let him go. Some led Huang Er up the steps to the hospital, while others ran ahead to report. Cao Cao and the civil and military dignitaries are discussing matters in the lobby.The gatekeeper hurried in and said, "Report to the prime minister, the second eunuch Huang in the palace came to announce the decree." Cao Cao and everyone were stunned.Cao Cao wondered, "What purpose are you here at this time?" After thinking for a while, he got up and walked out of the hall.Everyone followed suit.As soon as he left the lobby, Huang handed the imperial edict in his second hand, with a gold medal on his waist, and entered the courtyard in front of the lobby.As usual, Cao Cao should switch places with Huang Er at this time. Huang Er should stand in front of the hall, face the courtyard and announce the decree on behalf of the emperor, and Cao Cao should turn around in the courtyard and kneel in front of Huang Er to receive the decree.Cao Cao was hesitating, but Huang Er took two steps forward and knelt down in front of him, then held up the scroll of Huang Ling with both hands, and said: "I want to report to the Prime Minister, Huang Er is not here to declare an edict, but to present it." Cao Cao All the people who followed him were stunned.Huang Er said: "The prime minister can tell at a glance." Cao Pi went up and took the Huang Ling scroll in Huang's second hand, and handed it to Cao Cao.Cao Cao opened it and saw that it was indeed an imperial decree: "I am going to announce that my uncle Dong Cheng, who is riding a general, will come to see me in the palace. I respect you." Cao Cao read it, and asked: "I asked you to go to the uncle's mansion to announce the decree, but you ran here to present the decree. , What do you mean, the court has been changed?" Huang Er knelt there, raised his head and stretched his ears with his hands, and said, "The prime minister spoke louder to the servant, and the servant's ear was broken. You said that I changed the court, which is exactly what you meant. Don't do it for the emperor. He asked me to go to the uncle's mansion to announce the decree, so I took the opportunity to join the prime minister's mansion." Cao Cao rolled his eyes and quickly judged.Both left and right looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them expected this to happen. Cao Cao stared at Huang Er and said, "What's going on?" Huang Er knelt there and said, "Prime Minister, let me start from a few months ago. That time when Dong Guojiu entered the palace and had a secret talk with the emperor, he said that Concubine Dong was sick and came to visit, but in fact he didn't treat Concubine Dong at all. When he was talking to the emperor, Huang Fu was lying outside the door to eavesdrop, and I was watching him from behind him. The emperor and uncle Guo were talking very loudly, and we could hear them clearly from outside. Suddenly the emperor slammed the door, I found out that Huang Fu was eavesdropping. But Huang Fu refused to admit it, and didn’t hear anything. I had to stand up and expose it, saying that I heard it from behind. The emperor asked me what I heard. I told the emperor, no, mainly Uncle Guo repeated a few words. The emperor asked me immediately, saying that I was talking nonsense, and Huang Fu took the opportunity to bite me, saying that I was talking nonsense. As a result, the emperor ordered to beat me with three hundred sticks and said he would deaf me. I have been dissatisfied, and if I refuse to accept it, I will make trouble. If I make trouble, I will be imprisoned for another few months." Hearing this, Cao Cao asked, "Did you hear what the emperor and uncle Guo said that day?" Huang Er said: "The emperor said that day, no, it was mainly uncle Guo who said that after the prime minister was eliminated, the emperor could let Uncle Liu Huang One-third of the soldiers, Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, one-third of the soldiers, each occupying east and west, and one-third of the soldiers himself, it is best to let him be a captain and command the guards of the capital, so that Liu Bei and Ma Teng can cooperate with each other. Constraints, the uncle of the country can restrain the two of them. In addition, the post of prime minister can be held by the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zifu. It is also mentioned that those who have made alliances with blood should be appointed officials, and Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji and General Zhaoxin can be appointed Wu Zilan also has some actual military power, saying that the two can control the Kyoto garrison and the palace garrison respectively under the leadership of Guojiu. Guojiu said that the loyal and righteous men he gathered will be rewarded by the emperor in the future. Promote and reuse. He also said that it is not easy for Yilang Zhao Yan to be the prime minister of the court, so you can let him be the deputy prime minister, or let him be the prime minister." When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes widened: "Is this what Uncle Guo said?" Huang Er said: "It's really what Uncle Guo Dong Cheng said. Huang Fu and I heard it clearly outside." Cao Cao asked: "How can you remember so clearly?" Huang Er knelt there, still listening with his hands to his ears, and said: "The slave's brain is lacking, and he is not flexible, but he has a stubborn mind and a rote memory. What the emperor said , I will definitely remember exactly what I ordered.” Cao Cao was still judging suspiciously, and said, “Gu also heard about your beating a few months ago, and what he said was true. What happened afterwards?” Huang Er said : "I was imprisoned for several months, and the more I was imprisoned, the more irritable I became. Finally, I thought, it's useless to be angry. I don't have a bright future, so I just be honest. Huang Fu let me out and walk around. Today the emperor wants Uncle Xuan Guo to enter the palace He said that Huang Fu's goal of leaving the palace was too big, and he remembered me, and said that my goal of coming out to announce the decree was smaller than Huang Fu, and told me to take a sedan chair to avoid being ostentatious. Looking at the appearance in the palace, it seemed very nervous. I took this opportunity to leave the palace , ran to the prime minister." Cao Cao stared at Huang Er gloomyly, and said, "Huang Er, you should know where this is, but do you know the consequences of telling lies?" Dozens of civil and military officials around were all staring at him. Staring at Huang Er. Li Dian yelled viciously: "If you say a lie, I will chop you into powder." Huang Er knelt there and said, "How many brains does Huang Er have, how dare he lie in front of the prime minister?" Cao Cao said coldly, "Aren't you here to make some countermeasures?" Huang Er stretched his ears with his hands and said, "Prime Minister, I don't know what countermeasures are. I have said that I have a rote memory, but my brain is not flexible. You can't talk too much." Cao Cao stared at Huang again. The second said: "I'll ask you again, what you just said are all the original words of the country's uncle?" Huang Er said: "If there is a lie, there will be five thunders from the sky." What did Uncle Guo say about Zhao Yan?" Huang Er thought about it for a moment and said, "He said that it is not easy for Yilang Zhao Yan to be the chancellor of the court, so he can be the deputy prime minister, or he can be the prime minister." Cao Cao turned The head asked Bai Shao who was standing aside: "Is it consistent with what he said just now?" What you said just now is exactly the same." Cao Cao nodded slightly, and looked at Huang Er: "So, Huang Er is not going back?" Huang Er said: "If you go back now, how can you survive?" Cao Cao said: " Are you going to follow alone?" Huang Er said: "The emperor's rewards and punishments are unknown, sooner or later either the prime minister will abolish him, or someone else will abolish him. I didn't think too much about it when I ran out, just to avenge Huang Fu for harming me. The rest , I, Huang Er, can neither be an official nor a general. At most, I can do some chores in the prime minister's mansion and take care of a family. It is more convenient than a man and more powerful than a woman." Cao Cao waved his hand, and he had already appeared in the courtyard. Zhu Si said: "Lead it first, and wait for the matter to be clarified." Huang Er followed Zhu Si and left.Cao Cao immediately returned to the lobby with the civil and military dignitaries. Cao Cao sat down in the middle, patted the imperial decree on the table, and said: "Huang Er was supposed to go to Dong Cheng's mansion to proclaim the decree, but he defected here to present the decree. It is true that he was beaten and wronged. To avenge Huang Fu, it is not impossible for him to defect here. What I suspect is that he eavesdropped on Dong Cheng's speech, whether it is true or not. Dong Cheng I have always been careful, the words of asking for credit and rewards, making an official and making a wish are not like what Dong Cheng said. If it is said by that majesty, it is somewhat similar. As for Huang Er's rebellion and escape from the palace, I also have doubts." Xun You said: "Several months It is true that the former Huang Er was beaten, but today, it is possible to renovate it and use it as a bitter trick." Cao Cao nodded and said: "Military advisor Xun You's words are reasonable. Gu went on to say that Huang Er's defection to Gu here, if it is fake, must have been designed by the emperor. What is he trying to get Huang Er to lurk in my prime minister's mansion? Once he is closed, it is useless. Or is it just to read that passage for me to explain that Dong Cheng is asking for credit? There are many people, and what purpose do you want to achieve to sell Dong Cheng?" Xun You then interjected: "It's possible. The prime minister's mansion has let the wind out this morning, saying that Qin Qingtong, the servant of the uncle of the country, has made an important report, and that the imperial physician Jiping attempted to poison him, and he was tried and confessed truthfully. Everyone involved in this conspiracy may have panicked. Your Majesty Perhaps the most panicked thing is that I have sold Dong Cheng in this way, and I want to choose myself.” Cao Cao frowned thoughtfully: “I just want to let Gu believe that if Dong Cheng has a conspiracy, it is not his majesty who wants to do it, but Dong Cheng. Where do you launch it?" Xun You said, "It's possible." Cao Cao said, "It's too outrageous for an emperor to be so panic-stricken before he really gets into trouble. He hasn't really done anything here, so he doesn't call himself, what kind of trick is this?" Xun You said: "Some despicable and indecent practices are indeed beyond the imagination of the prime minister." Cao Cao said: "It's a pity that the military advisor Guo Jia has been confronting Yuan Shao in the Guandu Supervisory Army for several months, and only the military advisor Xun You spoke. Otherwise, you two The words of the military division are opposite, and they can collide with many novel insights." Cao Cao paused and said: "What about the imperial edict?" He pointed to the yellow silk scroll in front of him, "Could it be that I also withheld it? The person who delivered the edict Even the imperial decree has been withheld, which can be described as treasonous." Yang Gang then said: "I think His Majesty is a fake move. Huang Er is also a fake defection. The prime minister will not accept all of them. Could it be that Huang Er is sent back to the palace?" Cao Cao Said: "Yang (Yang) Gang, you can see the tricks of femininity. Gu could have sent Huang Er back to the palace, but it's ugly for his Majesty. I'm afraid that if you do this, the person who really defected and reported will not Dare to go to Xiangfu." It was late, and the lights in the lobby were turned on.Another military official rushed to report: "Qi Xiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zifu, Yilang Wu Shuo, Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan, have come to the uncle Dong Cheng's house successively to gather." Cao Cao said: " Hey," he pointed at Xun You, "it's still Xun You's strategy to let the news out this morning. The news of Ji Ping's poisoning and confession scared everyone." Li Dian said: "Just surround the uncle's mansion , Based on Qin Qingtong’s report, the Dong’s mansion was copied, wouldn’t the truth come to light?” Cao Cao shook his head: “If you can’t copy it, why?” Li Dian said, “Retrial the five of them.” Cao Cao said, “If this Why don’t the five of them tell the truth? It’s hard to arrest people and search them just based on the revelation of a servant, Qin Qingtong.” Xu Chu said, “Isn’t there still that full-body portrait that stabbed the prime minister into seven or eight holes? Not enough evidence?" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Not enough evidence." Cao Cao frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly leaned back and laughed: "It's all because of your Majesty that I have succeeded in my plan of knocking mountains and shaking tigers." Everyone was shocked.Cao Cao said: "Sun Tzu said, 'Victory lies in the enemy', what do you understand?" Cao Pi said: "My victory often lies in the enemy's mistakes." Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cao Pi, and said to everyone: "That's exactly what I mean. I figured it out, this Huang Er must be His Majesty's anti-insidious plan. I just use the plan, and use the fake one seriously." Cao Cao glanced at Bai Shao, who was sitting there scribbling, and said to everyone: "Continue to monitor, let them continue to panic At a loss. Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, the prime minister's mansion will host a banquet for hundreds of officials, and the grand banquet will be decided by then." At the same time, the five members of the blood alliance are meeting secretly in Dong Cheng's academy study. Wu Zilan said eagerly: "At this point, I don't even care about avoiding suspicion. Knowing that our houses are surrounded by Cao Cao's people, I still invite Brother Zifu, Brother Zhongji, and Brother Wu Shuo to the uncle Guo. Here." Dong Cheng frowned and paced back and forth a few times, stopped and said: "The situation is indeed extremely urgent. Last night, the servant Qin Qingtong was beaten up by me because of having an affair with my concubine Yuanying. In the end, he jumped over the wall and fled to the Cao Mansion. Whistleblower. I have been waiting for nearly a year of secret dealings, and this servant has seen all of our secret conversations. Although he was not present, he did not know what he overheard. What is more important is that Doctor Ji went to see Cao Cao this morning. It was agreed here last night that the purpose of going to save the country and cure the sickness of thousands of people has been revealed now. It is rumored that the doctor Ji Ping has confessed." Wang Zifu was eager to speak, Dong Cheng said: "Brother Zifu, what do you want to say?" Don’t dare to take chances, everything has to be prepared for the worst. Tomorrow’s Lantern Festival, Cao Cao will host a banquet for the ministers of civil and military affairs at the Prime Minister’s Mansion on behalf of His Majesty, and we will all be invited. This is likely to be a grand banquet.” Zhong Ji said: “He deserves to show Hongmen Banquet? Send people to surround our family on the spot, and once they are arrested, it will be over?" Wu Shuo shook his head and said, "If this is the case, Cao Cao would have done it long ago. To hold a Hongmen Banquet, there is a way to hold a Hongmen Banquet." Dong Cheng He walked a few more steps, and sighed worriedly: "I can't get in touch with His Majesty for a while, and I don't know the truth about Cao Cao. I am really hesitant." Wu Zilan stood up suddenly and said, "It's better to break the boat and fight Cao thief." Dong Cheng stopped, and the other three also looked at Wu Zilan.Wu Zilan pulled out half of his saber eagerly: "I will assassinate Cao Cao at the Hongmen Banquet." Wang Zifu said: "Brother Wu's idea is so simple. Li Dian and Xu Chu are like wolves and tigers in his place. The guards on the spot must be extremely Strict, how can you get close to Cao Cao? Besides, I can’t bring a sword into Cao’s mansion at all, and I have to take off my sword according to the rules when I get to the gate.” Wu Zilan snorted and sneered, inserted the sword into the sheath, and then took off the sword Putting the sword on the platform table: "I've taken the bright sword, can they guard against the dark sword?" As he spoke, he waved his hands, took out a dagger from his arms, threw it on the wooden pillar, and raised his foot again. , pulled out a dagger from his boots, swung it again, and it also hit the wooden post.Everyone was shocked.Wu Zilan said: "Brother Zhongji, you can do the same.
