1.102 Separation between ruler and minister
"Your Majesty, why not send envoys... Ji State." Life and death are at stake. Dong Chong, the general of the chariot and cavalry, also gave up his face.
Dong Hou also had this idea, but he didn't know how to say it: "What should I do."
"I ordered King Ji to pass on the letter to the Emperor." Dong Chongjiu was in a high position and was indeed very quick to do so.
"Yes." It's time to come, and it's useless to say more. It's important to save your life first. After all, the emperor has not yet surrendered. Even if Cao Mengde gained power for a while, he would definitely die in the past. At that time, it would not be too late to make trouble.
It was not appropriate to be late. The emperor then wrote an edict in person, ordering King Ji to reconcile; he also wrote a letter from his family and asked the Emperor for help.
The Huangmen ordered Zuo Feng to be ordered to be in a hurry. The car drove out of the palace. Passed through Shibalipu, crossed the river and went down. Passed Nanpi and entered Zhang, passed through Jiguo Canal for thousands of miles, and rushed into Linxiang Beigang. The road was smooth.
Zhendu, Sikong Mansion.
Sikong Si, Cheng Yu, general Wangfu, was appointed as the commander of the chariot commander Wu Shuo, the commander of the Shizhong, and the imperial physician Zhang Feng, all the family members were brought to justice. He entered the palace to report.
At this time, the Chief Censor Xun Yu was also there. Cao Mengde had already brought General An Ji Dong Cheng with a group of conspirators to establish the "Letter to Kill Cao Alliance" and show it to him first.
The Book of Alliance is also called the Book of Records. "The Book of Records of Zhou·Si Meng" says: "Si Meng is in charge of the method of Alliance." The note says: "Zi is the Book of Records. The Book of Alliance writes the words in the strategy, kills the animals and gets blood, and adds the books on top and buried them, which is called Book of Records."
In ancient times, the alliance letters were divided into "Zongmeng", "committing the qualifiers", "conferring the qualifiers", "cursing", "divination", etc. The Zongmeng, qualifiers, and the writings were written as blood to kill animals; cursing, divination was written in ink.
Nowadays, it is like "the middle-class peddlers' appointment with each other". It is common to sign a coupon. The princes' alliance letter gradually turns into coupons.
However, it is undeniable that the covenant is more effective than the coupon.
In other words, General An Ji Dong Cheng was arrested with a group of fellow party members, and he was unable to escape the death penalty.
Even Xun Yu was speechless. He had no idea what to do. He was just a small bag of wine and dared to plot against rebellion. It was no wonder that Cao Mengde was so angry that he laughed.
For example, Wang Fu, Wu Shuo, and Zhong Ji, the three of them are not willing to die. However, one end of the day, Dong Cheng and Zhang Feng, how to convict them, you need to be cautious.
Cao Mengde was born into a family of eunuchs. He was in a state of ups and downs in his officialdom and was immersed in the officialdom. How could he not know which one is more important?
However, for the survival of the family, we must also observe: "Does the emperor know?"
Cao Mengde's question was of great importance. It seemed that he asked Xun Yu, Dong Cheng assassination, and the emperor had ever been a prophet. In fact, he asked Xun Yu, the emperor was the mastermind. All signs showed that this was a relative of the Dong family. After the collapse of the royal party, he wanted to secretly seize power. He was the first to assassinate the leader of the Cao party, Sikong Cao Mengde.
"It's unknown." Cao Cao was always suspicious. Since he had this question, he would have doubts. Xun Yu, no matter how he answered, it was difficult to eliminate the suspicion in Cao Mengde's heart. Therefore, he didn't know.
Cao Cao refused to comment and asked, "Wen, what should I do if Wen thinks?
"The three tribes of Yi will pardon the Dong family." Xun Yu replied.
"The three tribes of Yi, pardon the Dong family." Cao Mengde understood it carefully: "I have known all the meaning of Wen Ruo."
Xun Yu's intention was to kill Dong Cheng and his fellow clans, and to the three tribes of the country. He pardoned the young general Dong Cheng's family and did not punish Emperor Dong Hou.
If you are humble and do not seek respect, you will leave the minister's way. But just imagine, if you kill Dong Cheng's whole family, how can Dong Chong let it go? If you don't blame the emperor, what should the emperor do?
"Zhongde, what do you think?" Cao Mengde asked Cheng Yu again.
"I think I'm humble and I think the chief evil will be punished and the family will be moved."
"Where will the family move to?" Cao Mengde asked again.
"..." Cheng Yu suddenly lost his words. Nowadays, all the barren lands outside are under the jurisdiction of King Ji. Previously, the five guardians all established Zhijun. It can be seen that the wilderness is changing and people's livelihood is improving. Even if the family members move to compare scenery, their lives are also enjoyable.
Small punishment is not enough to be a warning. Moreover, Cao Mengde can also be eliminated and unable to relieve his hatred.
Since Cao Mengde wanted to take revenge and severely punish the murderer to serve as a warning. He also needed to take care of the emperor and not kill too much. In a dilemma.
Cao Mengde was among the six heroes. Apart from a river, King Ji looked at him. If he was not careful, his family would be destroyed. No matter how he acted, he would never deceive the emperor. This is the bottom line of his ministers. He should not be arrogant.
Cao Mengde was worried that he would eliminate the roots and eliminate the three tribes of the Dong family; so how could he not be jealous of the emperor?
How to choose between family hatred and national hatred? Cao Mengde was helpless.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh. "Punishing the chief evil and moving his family members" is far less than Xun Yu, "The three tribes of the country are pardoned by the Dong family", and it is closer to the way of choosing.
However, both of them thought that the emperor should not deceive him.
The emperor should take it seriously, can't he deceive him?
Cao Mengde, evil thoughts arise. They cannot be eliminated and become more and more intense.
Zhendu, the Dragon Boat Festival Rebellion, within three days, everyone in the world knew about this. This matter was originally full of doubts. Since he was a dead man, he must live in simplicity. He would not show him easily, but he would not be identified by others. Speaking of which, the ancient assassins swallowed charcoal and painted bodies, had their skin and eyes cut off without showing any flaws. How could they have corpses in the bustling market? In less than a day, some people recognized him as Dong Cheng's slaves.
I thought there must be a fraud in this. Unexpectedly, General Dong Cheng of An Ji was captured by both men and women. After being questioned, a group of fellow party members revealed their plans and conspiracies. They were sure of each other and proved each other. When will they make an appointment and who said everything was complete without any flaws.
So what if you set up an ambush halfway and kill three members of the Cao clan, almost killing Cao Mengde's life.
Things in the world cannot be said all about it.
Linxiang Wangcheng, Linghui Hall.
"This is Mrs. Shi's plan." Zhongcheng Jia Xu hit the nail on the head.
"Wenhe, how can I know it?" King Ji must have this question.
"Mrs. Shi, then went out of Shimen. When he went to Zhendu, he would be an assassin. Among the assassins, there would be Dong Cheng's slaves. The corpse was buried in the city, so he would be a controversy of Dong Cheng."
King Ji then realized: "Is it possible that Dong Cheng's plan was the prophet of Mrs. Shi." So he used the plan to blame Dong Cheng and distracted the king and his ministers.
"Lord, see clearly." Jia Xu said.
"What does Mrs. Shi ask for?" King Ji also realized something.
"Get apart from the monarch and ministers." Jia Xu said: "Stampering Cao Sikong is unsubmitted. He followed Dong Zhuo, and then abolished the tyrant minister."
As expected.
In other words, even though he knew he had gone but never returned, Mrs. Shi still ordered his disciples to set up an ambush halfway. He used his life and made a bitter plan to blame Dong Cheng, so that Cao Mengde could see through it. Everyone secretly planned to alienate the king and his ministers. Cao Mengde wanted to avenge his son and kill his brother and would kill his whole family. The whole family of Dong would be killed. However, today, the son was raised by Emperor Dong and raised by Emperor Dong. If he was young, he would be "Dong Hou". If the whole family of Dong was killed, would the emperor be frightened and angry? In order to protect himself, he would be killed.
Therefore, the power of the king and his subjects is like water and fire, and they will never stop until death.
At this time, Ruoshi Hou sent an envoy Zhen Du to secretly say that Cao Mengde had deposed Hou Dong and respected Hou Shi.
The disasters in the family will be solved easily.
In a nutshell, Mrs. Shi made this plan to force Cao Mengde to abolish the emperor.
In this way, Hanzhong and Guandong are all ruled by Shi Hou. When Shi Hou repaid his love, he must use Cao Mengde. The tree has become a boat, and even if it is King Ji, he will have no way to turn things around.
Thinking of this, King Ji suddenly laughed: "I'm so calculating."
As everyone knows, King Ji does not like power and plot.
