Lu Xun is a sanctimonious beast, born into a noble family, and good at disguise.
He raped his younger siblings, raped his younger brothers and killed his friends.
Cao Mao felt a little nauseous just looking at his face.
This guy was greedy, lustful and cruel, but he pretended to be a celebrity and tricked Ji Kang and others into becoming friends with him.
He fell in love with his brother Lu An's wife, got her drunk with wine, and then raped her.
After the incident was exposed, he falsely accused his younger brother of "beating his mother." This extremely serious crime led to Lu An being directly arrested and sentenced to death. Ji Kang and others were also killed in order to rescue him.
As for this beast, nothing happened to him. Sima Zhao probably cherished his kind, so even if he found something wrong, he didn't do anything to him.
At this moment, this horrifying tragedy has not happened yet, but Cao Mao already wants to cut the thief in front of him into thousands of pieces.
Cao Mao looked at Lu Xun in front of him with particularly deep eyes.
For some reason, Lu Xun felt a little uneasy when he met the emperor's eyes.
Their family is of the same clan as Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others who were under Yuan Shao's command.
Lu Xun was very famous and made friends with Ji Kang and others. This time he made great achievements and became a leader among young scholars.
The emperor would never attack him.
Lu Xun thought about it, and couldn't help but think of the beauties sent by his new friends. As long as this matter can be done,
He quickly put on a straight face and looked like a gentleman.
"Your Majesty! Previously you told the world that scholars should speak out and give advice. Is there any change now?"
Cao Mao frowned, and Zhang Hua on the side scolded: "Are you trying to say that His Majesty is a king who broke his promise and got fat?!"
Lu Xun quickly said: "That's not the case."
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach an important minister today!"
Without waiting for Cao Mao to answer, he took out the letter from his sleeve and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is the letter written by the rebel Gao Rou to the current court captain Chen Qian."
"In the letter, Gao Rou asked Chen Qian to use his status as censor Zhongcheng to help him remove his ministers!"
"I want to impeach Chen Qian, the imperial censor, for collaborating with Gao Rou to rebel! Your Majesty, please take a closer look!!"
When Lu Xun finished speaking, the officials were in an uproar, and the entire east hall fell silent.
The celebrities looked at each other in confusion, and the eyes of several ministers lit up. Chen Qian and Zheng Miao had aroused public outrage since they began to cooperate.
Zheng Miao was actually okay. After all, he was only responsible for recommending people, and Chen Qian, who was responsible for arresting people, was the one who made the officials the most angry.
Any officials who interfered with Cao Mao were treated by Chen Qian as participating in Gao Rou's rebellion. Those who committed crimes were directly imprisoned and went to Longchang to learn Taoism, while those with a good reputation were directly dismissed.
In the past, removals were all decided by the ministers together. Now that Chen Qian has replaced the ministers alone, the ministers naturally have deep resentment towards him.
After Lu Xun opened his mouth, the officials immediately became excited.
This man was originally a confidant of the emperor, and his prestige among the young scholars was very high. If he comes forward to talk about this matter, he will definitely change his mind!
As long as His Majesty sees Chen Qian's true nature, he will never let him go.
Cao Mao was silent.
The ministers have adjusted their policies. They don't dare to attack themselves anymore, so they want to get rid of the capable ministers and generals in their hands. Anyway, in their view, such behavior is just a dispute among the ministers, and the emperor must do something. A fair referee cannot leave the field personally.
This gang of traitors can't get anything done, but they are very skilled at doing things like stabbing someone behind the scenes.
Cao Mao slowly looked at Zhong Hui, thinking that you said that the ministers were just trying to find an excuse for him to go to the banquet. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true!
The ministers are indeed going to take action against themselves.
I misunderstood you.
Zhong Hui looked at Lu Xun in front of him calmly, but cursed in his heart.
I just found a reason to come to the banquet, but you are really going to cause trouble?
Do you think we haven't killed enough? ?
Zhong Hui knew that he could not kill directly now. He had to consider Lu Xun's contribution, his reputation, and the status of the emperor. The emperor could favor the ministers, but fairness on the surface must be achieved. Otherwise, how can we convince the public?
Especially under the premise that Gao Rou has just been dealt with in a high-profile manner, how can he directly pardon his accomplices?
Cao Mao looked at the letter in his hand. It was indeed written by Gao Rou. He suddenly asked, "How did this letter fall into your hands?"
Lu Xun was stunned. All the evidence was brought up. If you didn't ask about Chen Qian's crime, why did you ask me about the source of the evidence?
He hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Qian originally wanted to destroy this letter of incrimination, but an official from the Tingwei Mansion took the opportunity to steal it. He knew that Chen Qian was powerful and that I was an upright man, so he delivered the letter to me. inside."
Cao Mao snorted and then looked at Sikong Zheng Chong.
Yes, Zheng Chong is also here. Cao Mao killed Gao Rou, which frightened the clay minister. He didn't dare not come to the emperor's banquet.
"Mr. Zheng, from your perspective, how should this matter be handled?"
The pressure suddenly came to Zheng Chong.
Zheng Chong's face was full of bitterness, why do I always have to take the blame? This corrupt official, I don't know when he can retire and return to his hometown.
He looked at the ministers and then at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter must be investigated. Gao Rou's rebellion is a serious matter. Gao Rou deserves death, and the position of court captain is extremely important. If this matter is not investigated, then there will be no It’s good for the temple.”
"Therefore, the truth must be found out. If Chen Jun was really involved in this matter, he should be punished. If he was not involved, then his reputation should be clarified."
Zheng Chong talked for a long time, but if you think about it carefully, he didn't seem to say anything.
But Cao Mao didn't care what he said. He nodded, "Okay, as Duke Zheng said, Chen Qian will be dismissed from his official position first and the censor will find out."
Zheng Chong's face darkened, I didn't say that! !
Lu Xun was a little anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! The evidence that Chen Qian colluded with Gao Rou is conclusive. Even if he did not act according to Gao Rou's instructions, he did not report the letter after receiving the letter. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, it is equivalent to treason. , what else needs to be found out?”
Cao Mao glanced at him and said, "This is what Sikong said, we must check it out. I always encourage everyone to speak out, and I also like to listen to advice. Mr. Sikong has already spoken, how can I not listen?"
Lu Xun immediately looked at Zheng Chong. If the status of the two parties was not so different, Lu Xun would really want to scold the old man.
You are an old guy who has failed to accomplish much and is prone to failure. If you cause me to lose those ten beauties, I will not forgive you!
Wang Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at the farce in front of him.
He knew Lu Xun's character very well. He was cunning and hypocritical. He must have been instructed by someone to do such a thing.
It seems that there are many ministers who want to restrict His Majesty. Now it is Chen Qian, and I am afraid that Zheng Qian will be next.
They wanted to cut off the emperor's left and right hands so that the emperor would have to reuse them.
Seeing that the emperor was deflated, Wang Xiang felt quite comfortable.
Don't think that you can gain power by killing a Gao Rou. As long as you can't conjure up scholars out of thin air, then you have to bow your head. Even the original Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming had to bow their heads. How strong can you be? ?
It was not just Wang Xiang who was gloating about his misfortune, but also the officials.
Seeing the suddenly powerful emperor encountering such a thing, they couldn't be happier.
The corners of Cao Mao's eyes twitched and he looked at Zhong Hui silently.
Zhong Hui will understand.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty! Mr. Lu is right!"
"oh?"
"Your Majesty is too kind and indulges Gao Rou's rebellion, so things like Chen Qian happen!"
Lu Xun heard Zhong Hui speaking in agreement with him. At this moment, his life seemed to have reached a climax!
Zhong Shiji actually spoke for himself? ! This is a true scholar leader!
This time I followed my younger brother to do things, and my reputation increased. Did I get the approval of such a person?
Thinking that he would be able to play with Zhong Hui and comment on people in the world in the future, Lu Xun almost felt like flying. With this reputation, wouldn't I be able to reach a height that even my father has never reached?
He quickly said: "Mr. Zhong is right! Your Majesty is really kind, but how can you be kind to these traitors?"
Cao Mao nodded, deeply convinced.
He looked at Zhong Hui again and asked, "What does Na Shiji think we should do?"
"Kill the tribe!!"
The smile on Zhong Hui's face suddenly disappeared, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Your Majesty, please put me in charge of Gao Rou's affairs. All those who are involved with Gao Rou, who have exchanged letters, and who have participated in the Shangshutai meeting, these involve No ministers who are rebellious can be retained!"
"I will arrest them all and kill their three clans!"
"Let no chickens or dogs remain in their house!"
"As long as all those participants are killed, things like Chen Qian will not happen!"
"This execution can start with Chen Qian!"
Zhong Hui gritted his teeth and said these words in an extremely twisted tone.
At this moment, Guo Zhang, who was sitting among the ministers with a smile on his face, suddenly fell to the ground. The ministers turned to look at him, and saw that Guo Zhang's face was pale and he sat back down in his seat tremblingly.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall, it became extremely quiet once again.
The smile on Lu Xun's face also disappeared.
If you insist on this statement, how many ministers will be left? ?
Does the emperor really dare to do this?
Is this guy threatening? ?
It must be really threatening us, right? ?
Cao Mao clapped his hands violently, "Okay! As expected of Zhong Shiji, he thinks very thoughtfully!"
"Come here! Send people to capture Chen Qian's clan members in Luoyang now and behead them all!"
"Shi Ji, you take charge of this matter. Now go to the Chinese army to mobilize troops and surround Luoyang. Starting from Chen Qian, all the ministers involved in the rebellion will not be spared! Kill all the clansmen!"
Cao Mao had already turned to Hua Biao and asked him to come and draw up the edict.
"Your Majesty!!! No way!!"
Guo Zhang didn't know when he threw himself in front of the emperor, his eyes full of horror.
Cao Mao said very seriously: "I am willing to listen to advice. Since someone is admonishing me, how can I not obey it?! Don't give me any more advice!"
At this moment, many ministers knelt down and worshiped in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty!! You must not do this!!"
