Dong Cheng was a bit ambitious and wanted to be the next Cao Cao.
However, Cao Cao did not take it seriously, and his original plan was in such chaos that Chen Zhou, who thought he had won over, did not dare to reuse it.
The emperor really lost his sister and got nothing. His initial thoughts seemed quite naive.
Even if a second person is introduced and Cao Cao is eliminated, it seems that it will not be his turn to take power.
The plan is beautiful, but the reality is quite cruel.
Farewell to Liu Xie, Dong Cheng touched the belt around his waist and strode out of the palace. However, as soon as he reached the palace gate, he saw a figure that he least wanted to see walking towards him.
"Cao Sikong."
Dong Cheng was frightened and had to bow.
After finishing speaking, he touched his jade belt again, feeling guilty and uneasy.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Don't be too polite, Mr. Dong. You just came out of the palace? What are you going to do when you enter the palace?"
Dong Cheng also wanted to smile, but his smile was very stiff, basically a forced smile, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that my daughter misses me and asked me to come to the palace to see her."
Even how to enter the palace, you have to be questioned.
Dong Cheng felt more and more how abominable this thief Cao was, and he wished he could get rid of him as soon as possible.
Cao Cao said: "Concubine Dong misses her husband, so it's right to let him enter the palace, but... I remember the belt of the husband, but that's not the case. How come I got an extra jade belt when I went in?"
He curiously followed Dong Cheng's hand and looked at the jade belt.
Dong Cheng felt guilty and kept his hand on the jade belt. He didn't expect that his little actions would cause problems. At this time, he could only force himself to be calm. The bitter smile on his face became even worse. He forced a smile and said: "My daughter , helped me embroider a jade belt, the embroidery work is exquisite, I can't put it down. What do you think of Cao Sikong? It looks good, right? I can't help but show off my daughter's things to Cao Sikong, haha..."
The smile on his face was bright.
But my back was covered in cold sweat.
Now that his voice does not shake when he speaks, it is already a sign that he is very calm and has good self-control.
"Tsk...it does look good."
Cao Cao said with envy on his face: "My daughters have never been so kind to me. Dong Guozhang is so envious!"
Dong Cheng touched his jade belt again and said with a smile on his face: "They are just small gifts, not worth mentioning. By the way, Cao Sikong comes to the palace. Do you have anything to do with His Majesty? Then I won't bother you."
"I almost forgot about the real thing."
Cao Cao said: "Master, please go slowly, I will go to the palace first."
They looked at each other again and then separated.
Cao Cao walked towards the palace gate. When he passed Dong Cheng on his back, his smile faded and his face darkened: "Du Zhi was right again, there must be something wrong with that jade belt."
Dong Cheng got on his carriage. The moment he sat down, his whole body went limp and he leaned his back against the carriage.
When he no longer had to pretend, his hands trembled slightly.
If Cao Cao had discovered something just now, if Cao Cao insisted on taking a look at his jade belt, he would be dead and would even bring trouble to the emperor.
"Thief Cao!"
Dong Cheng cursed and said, "Let's see how I deal with you!"
He also decided that no matter who came to greet the emperor next, no matter how he compared with Cao Cao, he must let the next person kill the abominable thief Cao.
Even if it's Yuan Shao, it doesn't matter.
The idea of monopolizing power as a relative next to the emperor was completely unsuccessful.
But whether there will be a chance in the future can only be determined after killing the thief Cao. Maybe Yuan Shao does not want to hold the emperor hostage, or maybe Liu Biao is willing to send troops to rescue him, so he can create opportunities for himself.
Dreams are a must.
After Dong Cheng returned home, he did not take off the jade belt immediately. Instead, he secretly invited Wu Zilan and the prince to come over.
However, when he invited Fu Wan, Fu Wan didn't say anything, nor did he say whether he would come. Now that time was running out, Dong Cheng didn't care what happened to Fu Wan.
Those who were willing to rebel against Cao once again gathered in Dong Cheng's study.
Outside the study, it was empty except for a few Dong Cheng's cronies who were watching and not letting anyone else get close.
"That damn thief Cao!"
"He framed Uncle Liu and killed Imperial Doctor Ji."
"What he needs is to take power and take away all the power of the court so that we can't do anything in the court."
"The emperor's uncle is now in prison. I don't know how he is doing."
"Thief Cao will definitely not let us go next."
Dong Cheng said through gritted teeth.
When others heard this, they hated Cao Cao.
The flame of hatred is burning brightly at this time.
Dong Cheng took off his belt and put it on the table, saying, "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace today and brought me this jade. Your Majesty must have something hidden inside."
Zhong Ji said: "Guozhang, open it and take a look."
"good!"
Dong Cheng took out a small knife and picked out the thread on the jade belt. After groping for a while, a piece of white cloth appeared in front of them.
The cloth is covered with dark red words, as if they were written in blood. There is also a mark on the bottom, the emperor's exclusive seal and ribbon. This is a blood edict, ordering the princes of the world to attack Xudu and destroy the thief Cao Qin and King Qin.
"His Majesty!"
The moment they saw the blood edict, everyone shouted.
It is heartbreaking that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was forced into such a situation.
"His Majesty also told me that Uncle Liu Huang is a hero. As long as he is still here, there is still hope for the great man."
Dong Cheng said solemnly: "I want to save the emperor's uncle and let him spread the imperial edict. What do you think?"
The prince said: "The risk of saving Uncle Liu is too great! We can spread the edict privately, which will reduce the risk a lot."
"no!"
Wu Zilan shook his head and said: "There are definitely Cao thieves around us. If we want to send out the edict, we will have to leave Yingchuan. Even if we can arrange a few cronies to secretly take the edict away by luck, our cronies will not be able to do it." I will definitely be able to come into contact with Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng and others, and it is not even certain whether I will survive to Yecheng and Xiangyang."
It's a chaotic situation outside, and anything can happen.
Zhong Ji agreed: "What General Wu said is reasonable. Uncle Liu has this ability. On the day of the hunt, Uncle Huang also had a group of elite cavalry. As long as we can save the people, we will have a chance."
"But how to save people?"
The prince server raised another problem that gave them a headache.
Cao Cao will definitely keep an eye on Liu Bei. Their families may be able to scrape together a thousand or several hundred troops, but it is simply not enough and they will be vulnerable to Cao Cao's army.
"Owner."
Just when everyone was clueless, a close associate of Dong Cheng outside said: "Uncle Liu Huang's third brother Zhang Yide came to ask for an audience."
"What?"
Dong Cheng and others were surprised and delighted to receive this news.
They knew that Zhang Fei was fighting Cao Jun outside the city, and they fought their way out with difficulty.
But I never thought that Zhang Fei would sneak into the city again so quickly.
"Please!"
Dong Cheng said excitedly.
After a while, Zhang Fei appeared in the study.
"General Zhang came back, is it to save the emperor's uncle?"
Zhongji asked immediately.
Zhang Fei nodded solemnly and said in a cold tone: "Yes, I have a plan to save the emperor's uncle. I need your cooperation. As long as it can be accomplished, we can attract the princes from all over the world to attack the Cao thieves just like the Dong thieves."
