Seeing that Mu Shun failed to assassinate Cao Cao, Liu Xie and others were shocked.
Fortunately, they had considered this situation in advance and had backup plans for this.
"Thief Cao is rebellious, please come to rescue him quickly!"
Fu Wan stood up, raised his arms and shouted.
Kong Rong, Yang Biao, Zhao Yan and other officials loyal to the emperor also stood up and shouted loudly.
The next moment, about a hundred people were seen pouring in from outside the palace.
Among them were not only eunuchs, but also imperial guards.
They waved their swords and surrounded Cao Cao and others!
But in the face of such a dangerous situation, Cao Cao's face remained unchanged and he looked at Liu Xie in the hall calmly.
"What does your Majesty mean by this move?"
"Prime Minister, you are asking questions knowingly!"
Liu Xie felt extremely happy in his heart, and the gloom of the past suddenly disappeared.
He laughed and said,
"As long as the Prime Minister is willing to hand over his military power, retire and return to his hometown, I will never make it difficult for you!"
"In previous years, His Majesty was bullied by Li Jue, Guo Si and others. Fortunately, a minister took the initiative to rescue him, which prevented His Majesty from starving to death in the wilderness."
Cao Cao said without any hurry or slowness,
"If there were no ministers, I'm afraid Yuan Shao would have already defeated Xudu."
"I am loyal to your majesty and the great man. Is this how your majesty treats me?"
For some reason, looking at the extremely calm Cao Cao, Liu Xie felt inexplicably uneasy.
He frowned and said impatiently,
"Cao Mengde, don't say so many words! Today you must either give up your power or die here!"
Cao Cao didn't seem to hear it, and just sighed slightly.
"Do it!"
Before Liu Xie and others could react, countless more soldiers poured in.
They launched a frantic massacre against the men summoned by Liu Xie.
Facing Cao Cao's elite soldiers, how could those ordinary eunuchs be inferior?
But in the blink of an eye, their bodies were strewn across the ground, blood flowed into rivers, and the entire hall was filled with the pungent smell of blood!
This...what's going on?
Cao Cao actually had an ambush?
By the time Liu Xie reacted, the battle in the hall was over.
The more than one hundred people he had worked so hard to manage have all turned into corpses!
"Is there anything else you would like to say, Your Majesty?"
Cao Cao said with a half-smile.
Liu Xie shivered with fright, and a chill shot up to the sky!
As if he remembered something, he hurriedly shouted to Yang Ling behind Cao Cao,
"General Wu Guanzhonglang, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you quickly eradicate Cao's thieves!"
"At this juncture, don't you understand, Your Majesty? I am loyal to the Prime Minister."
Yang Ling looked at Liu Xie as if he were an idiot.
"What? How dare you betray me?!"
Liu Xie almost broke his nose with anger.
Together with Yang Ling, he played a trick of Infernal Affairs on him, pretending to agree to him, but actually sold him out to Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I have never been loyal to you, so why should I betray you?"
Yang Ling said innocently.
"you……"
Liu Xie was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was helpless.
"Somebody come!"
Cao Cao was too lazy to talk to Liu Xie anymore and shouted sharply.
"The general is here!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu came out together.
"Capture all those involved in the rebellion!"
With a wave of Cao Cao's hand, the wolf-like soldiers rushed forward, tied up Kong Rong, Yang Biao, Zhao Yan, Mu Shun and others, and took them away.
For a time, except for Liu Xie and Fu Shou, everyone in the hall was Cao Cao's manpower.
Without his support, Liu Xie was completely panicked and said tremblingly,
"Prime Minister, I...I have been deceived by others, you...you must be aware..."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will get to the bottom of this."
Cao Cao just smiled faintly, turned around and walked out.
Yang Ling, Cao Ang and others also followed behind him.
"To be able to catch all these rebellious officials and traitors today, Zi Yi has done a great job."
Cao Cao praised with a smile as he walked outside.
"The Prime Minister has given you too much praise. This is just the duty of his subordinates."
Yang Ling smiled modestly.
After agreeing on the plan with Liu Shang, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and told Cao Cao everything.
Cao Cao also followed Yang Ling's suggestion and took advantage of the situation with one move, and arrested Fu Wan, Yang Biao and others.
"Congratulations, father. After today, there will probably be no remnants of the chaos inside and outside the court."
Cao Ang laughed from the side.
"I hope so."
Cao Cao smiled coldly, his eyes full of uncontrollable killing intent.
After Yang Biao, Kong Rong and others were imprisoned, martial law was declared throughout Xudu City.
Cao Cao's troops also began to conduct a large-scale search and arrest in the city!
Lasting from day to night, I don't know how many powerful people were imprisoned!
Early the next morning, Cao Cao summoned all civil and military officials in the name of the emperor to hold a court meeting in the palace.
"The party members headed by Yang Biao, Kong Rong and others tried to murder Prime Minister Cao, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, the man with five sense organs will be astute and see through the conspiracy of the rebellious party, and ultimately protect the safety of the emperor and prime minister."
Cao Ang stood in the lobby and said in a deep voice,
"The actions of Yang Biao, Kong Rong and others are tantamount to rebellion, that is, the annihilation of the entire clan, as a warning to the world!"
Liu Xie didn't seem to hear anything. He just sat there blankly and watched Yang Biao, Kong Rong and others being taken out by the soldiers.
He knew very well that what awaited Yang Biao and Kong Rong was death!
But he couldn't do anything, after all, he couldn't protect himself now.
To his surprise, after Cao Cao executed Kong Rong and others, he didn't say anything more and just led the people away.
Soon only Yang Ling, Fu Shou and Liu Xie were left in the hall.
Seeing Yang Ling swaggering up to him, Liu Xie was startled.
"You...what do you want to do?!"
If Yang Ling hadn't betrayed this bastard, how could the power he had worked so hard to manage and those loyal ministers be destroyed at the hands of Cao Cao?
If possible, he would like to stab Yang Ling to death!
"The Prime Minister asked me to tell His Majesty something."
Yang Ling smiled and said,
"The Prime Minister does not want to embarrass Your Majesty, but I hope that Your Majesty will be more peaceful in the future. Otherwise, I will have to relieve the Prime Minister's worries!"
Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.
Of course he heard the threat in Yang Ling's words.
But listening to this, it seems that Cao Cao does not intend to kill him.
This relieved him.
"I...I know."
"It's good to know."
Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"Then what are you doing, Your Majesty? I'm going to have an intimate relationship with the Queen. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to watch?"
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then he could only swallow his anger, stood up obediently, and left the hall.
"The Queen should be the first to eliminate His Majesty's accomplices this time."
Yang Ling took Fu Shou into his arms with a smile, and moved his hands wantonly.
Fu Shou suppressed the shame in his heart and the heat in his body, and said nervously,
"General, I wonder...how is my father's condition?"
