Chapter 46 Cao Liu used the blood edict to present Nanye Guan Yu's three things 4
Dong Cheng waited for the good news of Jiping day and night in the house, but before the good news arrived, Cao Cao's invitation arrived first, saying that he was going to entertain the ministers. When Dong Cheng saw Cao Cao's anger, he didn't hit him and simply pushed him away. Wang Zifu and others were afraid that Cao Cao would be suspicious, so they had to go.
Cao Cao held a banquet in the back hall to entertain everyone. After several drinks, Cao Cao said, "There is nothing to enjoy during the banquet. I have someone to sober up for everyone." After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to bring Jiping here.
When the ministers saw Jiping's guidance, someone recognized him and talked about it one after another, and they didn't know what Jiping had done. Only the prince's clothes and others were frightened for fear of poisoning the thief. At this time, they expected that Ji Ping had not yet confessed.
When Cao saw the discussion, Cao Cao said, "The officials don't know that this man is connected to the evil party and wants to rebel against the court and murder me. Now that the matter has been exposed and captured by me, please listen to his words and know that I didn't kill it by mistake.
At this time, Ji Ping was already scarred and unconscious, and Cao Cao ordered someone to wake up with alcohol. As soon as Ji Ping woke up and saw Cao Cao, he cursed: "Cao thief! When will you wait if you don't kill me?
Cao said, "I know you have six accomplices. Now the officials are here. As long as you make an identification, I will spare you immortality."
Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Zhongji and Wu Shuo looked at each other in con'ssinuous faces. They were afraid that Jiping would point out themselves. Ji Ping is a hard bone, but he just scolded Cao Cao and did not want to ask for mercy.
When Cao saw that he didn't move, he ordered someone to beat him again. When he fainted, he woke up and asked again. For such a long time, Ji Ping clenched his teeth and didn't reveal a word. Cao Cao had no choice but to take him down again, and the banquet broke up unhappily.
All the officials left, but Cao Cao left the four princes alone to continue to drink with him. The four people were so scared that they didn't dare to leave, so they had to stay with them.
Cao Cao said, "I have something to ask you about leaving you here today. What are you talking about with Dong Cheng?"
The prince said, "We just have a good relationship with my uncle and haven't discussed anything."
Cao Cao said, "In this case, what is written on the white silk?"
The four people were surprised to hear Cao mention the white silk. At the same time, they were a little relieved that they obviously did not know the details of the white silk because Cao Cao did not carry clothes and edicts. Wang Zifu said, "We often practice painting with our uncle, and it's not surprising that we use white silk. I don't know why the prime minister asked."
Cao Cao was hidden when he saw the four people. Then Qin Qingtong was called out against him. Qin Qingtong said, "You avoided everyone, and six people wrote white silk in one place. How can you deny it?"
When the four princes saw Qin Qingtong, Fang knew that Jiping did not leak the secret, but the villain made a fault. The prince obeyed and said, "This thief was punished for adultery with his uncle's concubine, which framed his master. It can be seen that his heart is unrighteous and the Prime Minister can't listen to him."
Cao Cao snorted, "If I didn't believe it, I would have been poisoned by Jiping. Who is not the mastermind of Dong Cheng?
The four princes knew that they would die. They all said that they didn't know about Jiping's poisoning and hoped that Cao Cao would not associate the two things together. But is Cao Cao easy to fool? Seeing that they did not confess, they first imprisoned the four people and ordered the jailer to interrogate them separately.
Early the next morning, Cao Cao led people directly to Dong Cheng's house and only talked about visiting. After Dong Cheng welcomed Cao Cao into the house, Cao Cao asked, "Why didn't Uncle come to the banquet yesterday?"
Dong Cheng said, "I have a disease, so I dare not take it out lightly."
Cao Cao asked with a sneer, "Is your uncle worried about the country?"
Dong Cheng was stunned and didn't know where to answer. Cao Cao asked again, "Do you know about Jiping?"
Dong Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Cao Cao said, "He treated his uncle's illness. How can his uncle not know?" After saying that, he ordered Jiping to be put under the steps.
Jiping saw Cao Cao and scolded: "The traitor!" Cao Cao asked Jiping, "I have taken down the prince's suit and other four people, and now the mastermind has not been captured. Who sent you to poison me? You can move quickly to save you from dying!"
Dong Cheng's soul flew away when he heard the words, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Jiping would be loyal to the country and not give himself.
Jiping shouted, "People all over the world sent me to kill the rebels!" I just hate that the thief won't die."
Cao Cao saw that Jiping was so hard-mouthed and ordered people to be executed, but Jiping's bruises were useless. The jailer was afraid that it would be difficult to kill people, so he said to Cao Cao, " Prime Minister, if this person is tortured again, I'm afraid he can't stand it."
Dong Cheng's heart was cut like a knife when he heard the words, but Cao Cao didn't care about those and ordered people to take the knife. He personally asked Jiping, "You used to have ten fingers, but why do you only have nine fingers left now?"
Jiping stood up and said, "I swear to kill the national thief!"
Cao Cao walked to the auspicious plane with a knife and ordered him to hold his hands on the ground. Cao Cao was in front of Dong Cheng and cut off Ji Ping's fingers one by one. As he cut, he said, "Let's cut it together this time. Let's see if you dare to swear!"
Even if Jiping was not afraid of death, Cao Cao deliberately tortured and cut slowly. The pain made Jiping scream repeatedly and fainted several times. Dong Cheng was shocked and persuaded Cao Cao, "The Prime Minister is angry. This man is about to die!"
Cao Cao had already chopped off Jiping's last finger at this time, and his anger calmed down a little. He ordered him to wake up Ji Ping and sneered, "At this time, how can you swear to hurt me?"
Jiping said, "Although my hands are useless, I still have a mouth to swallow the thief and a tongue to scold the thief."
When Cao Cao heard the words, he wanted to reach out to cut Jiping's tongue. Jiping knew that he would die, so he pretended to say, "The Prime Minister, slow down! I often hear people bite their tongues and kill themselves. I'm afraid that the Prime Minister will die if he cuts off my tongue. I still hope that the Prime Minister will let me loose my way of life.
Cao Cao finally smiled secretly when he saw Ji Ping's death. He was not afraid that Jiping, whose hands were exhausted, ran away, so he ordered people to release his shackles. Dong Cheng was worried on the side.
Ji Ping got up to the north and said, "I can't eliminate thieves for the country, it's the number of days!" I regret not listening to the mage's words. After saying that, he hit his head on the stairs and died.
When Cao saw Ji Ping dying, he was very resentful and ordered him to be dismembered. Then he called Qin Qingtong to his front and asked Dong Cheng, "Does Uncle know this person?"
Only then did Dong Cheng know that the failure of the big event caused Cao Cao's suspicion. It was all caused by this person. He said angrily, "This man is a fugitive slave in the house. He committed adultery with my concubine, and the Prime Minister caught him and killed him! Come on, kill this man quickly.
Cao Cao shouted, "He came to sue you for rebellion. Now he comes to testify. Who dares to kill him?"
Dong Cheng said urgently, "Why did the Prime Minister listen to the words of the fugitive slave?"
Cao Cao sneered and said, "When I have been captured, I have confessed. Can you still deny it?" After saying that, he ordered Dong Cheng to take down and search Dong Cheng's mansion.
The clothing edict and joint name were found in Dong Cheng's room and were found in a moment. Cao Cao already knew the names of Dong Cheng and others, but he didn't know that there was also Liu Bei. When he saw that Liu Bei also signed his name, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying, "How dare you do this?" So he ordered his men to imprison all the members of Dong Cheng's family.
Cao Cao returned to the house and immediately summoned his confidant generals to show his clothes to the crowd. Then he said, "Liu Xie is not kind. Don't blame me for my injustice. I want to abolish his throne and establish a new king. What do you think?"
Xun Yu said, "The Lord can shock the world, all because of the name of the Han family. Nowadays, only Ma Teng and Liu Bei know that this dress is bloody, so it is not a big deal to attack each other. If the lord is abolished, the whole world knows that the lord disrespects the Han Dynasty and rises up on all sides to fight, then the lord is in danger.
Cao Cao was not afraid of other princes, but only worried that Nan Ye would fall out with him. At this time, he was confronting Yuan Shao in the north. If Nan Ye fell to Yuan Shao's side, Cao Cao really didn't know what to do, so he suppressed the idea of abolishing the emperor.
However, this does not mean that Cao Cao will give up. He immediately ordered Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and other five people to be executed together with their families, plus more than 700 servants and guests to be executed. The people in the city burst into tears when they saw this tragedy.
Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and others and was still angry. He wanted to teach Liu Xie a lesson, so he brought his sword into the palace to kill the noble concubine Dong Lin. Dong Lin, the daughter of Dong Cheng, was deeply favored by Liu Xie. At this time, she was pregnant in May, and Liu Xie often came to visit when she had nothing to do.
This day, Liu Xie was talking with Dong Lin, and suddenly saw Cao Cao bringing his sword into the palace with an angry face. Liu Xie had never seen Cao Cao so rude and asked in shock, "Why did the Prime Minister enter the harem?"
Cao Cao said, "Does your majesty know whether Dong Cheng is plotting against it?"
Liu Xie was flustered when he heard that Cao Cao came for Dong Cheng and pretended to be stupid: "Dong Zhuo's rebellion has been killed. Why did the Prime Minister mention it again?"
Cao Cao said loudly, "It's not Dong Zhuo, it's Dong Cheng! Dong Cheng! You stupid king!"
Liu Xie and Dong Lin trembled when they saw Cao Cao's anger. Liu Xie shook his head and said, "I really don't know."
Cao Cao sneered: "Write the edict with blood, will you forget it?" If you hadn't been useful, I would have killed you to vent your anger. Nowadays, it's cheap to kill only Dong Cheng's family.
Liu Xie learned that Cao Cao had seen the blood edict and was irrefutable. Cao Cao ordered the warrior to capture Dong Lin and kill him. Seeing this, Liu Xie pleaded, "Concubine Dong is pregnant in May, and I hope the Prime Minister can see mercy."
Cao Cao said, "If it hadn't been for God's blessing that I had been killed, how could I leave this woman for my future trouble?"
At this time, Empress Fu Shou came to hear the sound and knelt down and begged Cao Cao, "After Princess Dong is pregnant with your majesty, begging the Prime Minister to demote him to the cold palace and kill him after giving birth."
Cao Cao kicked Fu Shou away and said angrily, "Do you want to avenge your mother?"
Dong Lin knew that she couldn't escape death and knelt down and said, "The Prime Minister, please give me a whole body and die, and don't let Zhanglu."
Cao Cao was taken for nothing and said, "I'll give you to die by suicide."
Liu Xie cried bitterly when he saw this: "Don't complain about me under the nine springs!" After saying that, tears fell like rain, and Fu Shou and Dong Lin also hugged their heads and cried.
Cao Cao said impatiently, "How will it take for such a son and daughter? Zhong Kang, drag him out and hang him to death.
Xu Chu got Cao's order, took Bai Lian with one hand, grabbed Dong Lin's hair with the other hand, and abruptly got out of the palace door and strangled outside the palace gate. Cao Cao also ordered the foreign clan not to enter the palace, and those who entered the palace at will were killed. Cao Hong personally commanded 3,000 imperial troops to guard the court and strictly guard the court.
After Cao Cao left the palace, he said to the counselors: "Now that Dong Cheng and others have been killed, there are still Ma Teng and Liu Bei who want to rebel, and they can't be eliminated."
Cheng Yu said, "Ma Tengtun's Xiliang is not easy to take. When sending messengers to comfort him, don't make him suspicious. It is possible to lure him into the capital in the future. Liu Bei is now distributing soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and he can't underestimate the enemy. If the lord's expedition to Liu Bei is delayed for a long time, Yuan Shao will take advantage of Xu Chang's attack. How can the lord be so?
