That night.
The whole city of Xudu was not at peace.
It was not until dawn that all the participants of the Yidai Edict, led by Wang Zifu, Zhongji and others, were arrested and brought to justice.
"Reporting to my lord, except for Liu Bei, all the people on the list are here."
Dian Wei said respectfully.
"Oh? Where are Liu Bei's people?"
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.
"My subordinates sent people to search the military camp, but he had already escaped."
"Forget it! Liu Bei, a mere Liu Bei, can't make any big waves, so immediately send someone to issue the sea arrest documents!"
"Here!"
Looking at the people who were tied up outside the palace, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneered,
"Dong Cheng, do you think I won't be able to find your accomplices because you have a tough mouth?"
"Thief Cao, you must die a happy death!"
Dong Cheng's eyes were full of despair and he roared.
"Kill them all!"
Cao Cao waved his hand grimly.
In full view of the public, the executioners stepped forward, raising and lowering their knives.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
I saw the light of the sword flashing, countless heads rolling to the ground, and the blood of Xudu Palace was soaring to the sky in an instant!
The timid Liu Xie had already collapsed to the ground with fear.
Seeing Cao Cao walking towards him, he hurriedly raised his hands and bowed.
"General, I...I really don't know anything..."
However, Cao Cao helped Liu Xie up with a smile, arranged his clothes, and warned him earnestly,
"Of course I believe in your Majesty, but please remember today."
Liu Xie nodded tremblingly.
Yang Ling on the side shook his head secretly.
In Boss Cao's heart, he always wanted to help the Han Dynasty and be a loyal minister to the Han Dynasty.
It's just that a weak and incompetent emperor like Liu Xie is not worthy of the loyalty of the proud Boss Cao!
…
Although Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others died, the Yidaizhao incident did not end there.
Xudu County Government, School Affairs Office and other forces, on Cao Cao's orders, conducted a large-scale search and arrest in the city.
Anyone related to Dong Cheng and others was imprisoned.
When it was found out that he was involved in the clothing and belt edict, there were also heads on the ground!
This continued for several days and then gradually stopped.
On this day, Cao Cao sent Dian Wei to visit and invite Yang Ling to the general's mansion.
Yang Ling didn't dare to neglect and immediately got up and rushed over.
The study room of the General's Mansion.
"Sir is here, please sit down."
Cao Cao greeted with a smile.
"I wonder what my master has ordered when he calls his subordinates down?"
Yang Ling said doubtfully.
"If it hadn't been for sir's timely reminder a few days ago, I might have been in danger of my life."
Cao Cao sighed.
After several days of investigation, it turned out that Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others had secretly cultivated hundreds of dead soldiers.
When the time comes, they are ready to strike a thunderous blow at Cao Cao!
After Cao Cao learned about the situation, he was extremely frightened!
Fortunately, Yang Ling discovered the clothing edict in advance and found out the list.
Otherwise, if Dong Cheng and the others were allowed to continue lurking, he might die one day!
"My lord, you're welcome. This is just your duty."
Yang Ling smiled and said with some regret,
"It's a pity that Liu Xuande ran away!"
This big-eared thief is really bad at anything and is the first to escape.
He was worthy of Liu Paopao's name, and when he sensed something was wrong, he ran away in advance!
"Yeah, this bastard, I don't treat him lightly, but he actually participated in the rebellion!"
Cao Cao clenched his fists, his pupils full of anger,
"If I had known this, I should have listened to my husband's advice and killed him directly!"
Yang Ling disagreed.
Back then, you, Cheng Yu and others persuaded you to kill Liu Bei, but you just didn't listen!
Now your intestines are full of regret, right?
Yang Ling thought so in his heart and comforted him,
"But fortunately, the lord did not give him soldiers and horses. Otherwise, if he led the army to Xuzhou and colluded with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, he would be in trouble."
Hearing what he said, Cao Cao felt better.
"Sir, you have made such a great contribution, how should I reward you?"
"My lord, you are welcome. I have nothing to ask for."
Yang Ling shook his head.
But Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile,
"Sir, you can't say that. Only merit and punishment should be fair and just. Only then can everyone be convinced."
Seeing Cao Cao's kindness, Yang Ling had no choice but to hand it over and say,
"My subordinates just listen to my lord's arrangements."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, took a look at the sky outside, and said with a smile,
"Sir, please come with me to the palace."
At this time, the sky has darkened. Boss Cao, why do you want me to attack with you?
Yang Ling was confused, but didn't say anything, just stood up.
Cao Cao took Yang Ling, Xu Chu and others out of the mansion and went straight to the palace.
The ancients did not have any recreational activities. Most of them were done at sunrise and rested at sunset.
Even the emperor Liu Xie was no exception.
He was originally planning to take a rest, but when he heard the news that Cao Cao had entered the palace, he was so frightened that he rolled over and hurried out to greet him.
"General...why...why are you here again?"
Liu Xie's eyes were panicked and his tone was trembling.
A few days ago, Cao Cao entered the palace at night and not only killed Dong Guifei, who was pregnant with the emperor's blood, but also beheaded Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and other courtiers.
Coming here in such a hurry tonight, is there going to be another killing spree?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's just that I haven't seen Your Majesty for a few days, so I came here to say hello to Your Majesty."
Cao Cao said with a smile.
Liu Xie calmed down for a moment, then forced a smile and said,
"I see, the general is interested."
Cao Cao looked around,
"I wonder where the Queen is?"
"The Queen has taken a rest. Does the General have anything to do with her?"
"No, this gentleman has something to do with the queen."
Cao Cao pointed at Yang Ling.
Not to mention Liu Xie, even Yang Ling looked confused.
Boss Cao, what's going on?
Didn't you bring me into the palace? How come I have trouble with the queen?
"The Queen's mother-in-law is the most noble and graceful in the world. She is better than ordinary women. Sir, haven't you always liked women, why are you still standing there?"
Cao Cao laughed softly.
Do you know that I am suing you for slander? I am suing you for slander!
Boss Cao, you are slandering me. You are obviously the one who likes married women!
Yang Ling stood there with an embarrassed look on his face, unable to laugh or cry immediately.
When Cao Cao saw this, he thought Yang Ling was thin-skinned and winked at Xu Chu who was standing aside.
"General Zhongkang, send your husband to the palace to accompany the queen."
"Here!"
Xu Chu strode forward and winked at Yang Ling.
"Don't worry, brother, I won't tell my sisters-in-law."
have to.
Yang Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the dormitory nearby.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xie's face became extremely pale!
He was not a fool, so he naturally knew what Yang Ling was going to do.
"General...please...please..."
"Your Majesty, come on, let's sit down and drink tea."
As if nothing happened, Cao Cao asked Liu Xie to sit down.
When Yang Ling entered the palace, Xu Chu closed the door tightly.
The candlelight flickered in the palace, and except for Queen Fushou, there was no one else.
Although she didn't get up and go out to greet him just now, she took in the words of Cao Cao, Yang Ling and others.
