Just when Cao Cao was having a headache, Dong Cheng and the others plotted again.
In order to get rid of Cao Cao, Dong Cheng worked hard to gather everyone secretly again and again to discuss how to do it perfectly.
He believed that what Chen Zhou said that day was right, and the only way to break the situation was to kill Cao Cao.
Once Cao Cao dies, they still have a chance.
But on how to kill Cao Cao, they actually discussed it on the day of the hunt, and everyone focused on the imperial physician Ji Ping.
They all agreed that Ji Ping had a chance to add some ingredients to Cao Cao's medicine.
"Cao Cao had the upper hand, but the problem was still serious and lasted for several years."
"I have had several attacks before, and he always asked me to treat him. It has a certain effect, and he trusts me."
"If I take action, it will be easy to succeed."
Ji Ping said confidently.
Like other ministers, he wanted to break away from Cao Cao's control, prevent Cao Cao from monopolizing power, nominally maintain and support the Han Dynasty, and continue to support the emperor.
Killing Cao Cao has become their temporary common goal.
"Doctor Ji, I leave this matter to you."
Wang Zifu solemnly said: "If it can succeed, Dr. Ji will be the first to take the lead."
Ji Ping bowed and said: "I am just doing what I should do. The Han Dynasty is about to collapse and needs our support."
"well said!"
Zhongji clapped his hands and said.
Several other ministers who were conspiring together applauded Ji Ping.
As long as he can succeed, Cao Cao will undoubtedly die, and Xudu will no longer be Cao Cao's Xudu.
"Why hasn't Master Fu come yet?"
Wu Shuo asked doubtfully.
Dong Guozhang shook his head and said: "I don't know what Fu Guozhang is going to do recently. I can't find him even if I try to look for him, and I don't know if he is scared. But it doesn't matter. Our plan is almost successful."
They determined that as long as Ji Ping took action, he would definitely succeed.
"Dong Guozhang."
At this time, Liu Bei reminded: "Don't believe Chen Duzhi easily. He is Cao Cao's son-in-law after all."
Dong Cheng smiled confidently: "I also know that I cannot trust this person easily. We have not told him about the major events we are planning. I will decide how to use him after Cao Cao dies."
He said this with full confidence.
It seems that everything is under control.
After hearing this, Liu Bei thought of Chen Gong's instructions and ignored Dong Chengxiang for the time being whether he believed Chen Zhou or not.
There are two things he wants to do most at the moment, one is to kill Cao Cao, and the other is to leave Xudu as soon as possible if the killing fails. With Chen Gong planning behind him, he thinks there is a high possibility of success.
"King Zhang."
At this time, a close confidant of Dong Cheng ran in and said, "Cao Si is in a bad mood and is looking for Imperial Physician Ji everywhere. A confidant of the Imperial Physician's family comes to us and asks what to do?"
"real?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised.
Ji Ping thought that his chance to show off was coming, so he stood up and bowed: "Everyone, I'm going to take a trip first. If the plan goes well, you will get the news of the sudden death of the thief Cao tonight."
"good!"
Dong Cheng solemnly said: "Mr. Ji, please be careful in everything."
Ji Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "I have a medicine that won't kill you immediately after taking it. But after an hour, if you don't get the antidote, you will definitely die. One hour is enough for me to do a lot of things."
Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
They sent Ji Ping out.
Ji Ping decided to go back to his home, then hurried out to Sikong Mansion.
——
Cao Cao suffered from a headache and almost collapsed from the pain. The Cao family was in chaos. The original plan of how to defeat Yuan Shao had to be put down.
As usual, they brought Ji Ping over.
Chen Zhou stayed at Cao's house and saw that Cao Cao had a headache and knew that Ji Ping would not live long.
"Sir, what will we do when Jiping comes?"
Cao Ang still remembered what Chen Zhou said.
The first few times Ji Ping treated Cao Cao, the effect was very good and he recovered quickly. Now that the headache came again, Mrs. Ding immediately thought of Dr. Ji and ordered someone to find him.
I believe Ji Ping will come soon, but it remains to be seen whether it will develop as Chen Zhou said.
"Have you told my lord everything?"
Chen Zhou asked.
Cao Ang nodded and said, "I told my father."
Chen Zhou said: "That's enough. The lord will deal with Ji Ping. We can just watch the show. If we want to cure the lord's headache, we still have to go to Hua Tuo."
Cao Cao's headache is still in its early stages, and it is not yet to the extent that Hua Tuo later said he needed a craniotomy.
"I've sent someone to find him."
Cao Ang said again.
After a while, Ji Ping finally came.
"Where's Cao Sikong?"
Ji Ping just came in and asked anxiously.
There was an expression of concern for Cao Cao.
Mrs. Ding said: "In the bedroom, Doctor Ji, come here quickly!"
As his son, of course Cao Ang had to follow him.
Chen Zhou is the son-in-law and is qualified to go to Cao Cao's bedroom together.
As for the other counselors and generals, knowing that Cao Cao had another headache, they waited impatiently in the hall.
At this time, Cao Cao's headache had eased a lot. He was half lying on the couch, breathing a little heavily. Even though it was the turn of autumn and winter, he was still covered in cold sweat. You can imagine how scary it is when a headache attacks.
"Cao Sikong!"
When Ji Ping came in, he bowed and saluted first.
Cao Cao was startled.
Seeing that it was Ji Ping who came, he understood that it was his wife who had invited him back. Then he looked at Chen Zhou and Cao Ang who had followed in. Cao Ang had already told him about Chen Zhou's prediction.
After pondering for a while, Cao Cao chose to believe Chen Zhou and said, "Mr. Ji, I'm troubling you again."
Ji Ping sat down, took Cao Cao's pulse, and said: "Cao Sikong is the pillar of the country. The great man cannot live without Sikong. I will try my best to cure this problem for Sikong."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and let Ji Ping feel his pulse without saying anything.
After a while, Ji Ping put away his hand to feel the pulse and said again: "Cao Sikong's headache is a bit troublesome. It can only be relieved at the moment. He uses the same medicine as last time. I will boil the medicine right now."
"good!"
Cao Cao agreed, but wanted to see what Ji Ping could do.
Chen Zhou was also watching the show and gave Cao Cao another steady look.
Ji Ping was also unambiguous. He boiled medicine for Cao Cao on the spot and put the medicinal materials into the medicine jar. The poison had been hidden in it for a long time. After a while, he personally delivered it to Cao Cao.
"Cao Sikong, the medicine is ready," Ji Ping said.
Cao Cao got up and said, "Mr. Ji is familiar with Confucianism. He should know that if the king drinks medicine when he is sick, his ministers will taste it first; if the father drinks medicine when he is sick, his son will taste it first. The doctor is my confidant, why not taste it first and then proceed?" "
Ji Ping: "..."
Cao Cao didn't let him test the medicine before, so why was he so uncharacteristic today?
This is very wrong.
Ji Ping said: "Medicine is used to cure diseases, why should people taste it?"
Cao Cao sneered and said, "Mr. Ji didn't dare to try the medicine. Is it because of a guilty conscience or because he thinks there is something wrong with the medicine?"
As he spoke, he got up from the couch and walked towards Ji Ping. His eyes were cold and his tone was so cold that it made people tremble.
Ji Ping knew something was going to be bad.
As for what went wrong, he didn't know yet. He had just discussed with Dong Cheng about poisoning, and it was revealed so quickly. It was very wrong, but it happened even if it didn't happen. He suddenly gritted his teeth, picked up the medicine jar and threw it at Cao Cao.
Prepare to fight back desperately, risking your life to kill Cao Cao.
