Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 201 Plot to kill Cao Cao
Zhong Ji has been an official for decades, and everyone knows that he is arrogant and perverse. His mouth has offended many people in the court. For example, when veterans like Zhang Xi meet Zhong Ji in court, they often have confusion in their minds: This How on earth can a person live peacefully to this age without being beaten to death on the street with a sap?
This question also appeared in Zhongping's mind, but perhaps because Zhongji's previous attitude of "Xun You is responsible for everything" was too natural, Zhongping subconsciously attributed the reason why Zhongji remained standing in the court to Xun You. .

Xun You's uncle's reliability caused Zhong Ping to overlook a key issue:

Before Xun You entered the court, Zhong Ji had been an official for nearly thirty years.

At that time, how did the seed collection protect itself?

"An Dao, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, I said that I would unite with Lu Bu and take advantage of Cao Cao's reach to seize Yanzhou as a foothold for the emperor. You just said that the time has not come yet and told me not to move lightly. Now Cao Cao's troops are strong and his horses are strong. The emperor's majesty shocked the nobles of Yanzhou, and yet you gathered us together at a time when we were internally stable. What's the point?"

Yang Ding was the first to speak. He just came out of Dong Cheng's house. He had just shared the same hatred with Dong Cheng and talked about his plans for Zhong Ji's father and son. Now he was sitting in front of him. Rao had been friends with Zhong Ji for more than ten years. Yang Ding had been friends with Zhong Ji for more than ten years. Still a little uncomfortable.

"Alliance with Lu Bu? What's the point of seeking skin from a tiger? If Lu Bu is placed under others, his ambition will be difficult to control and he will inevitably betray his master; if he is placed in a high position, he will inevitably get carried away and become arbitrary. Your Majesty, if How can it be stable for a long time in his hands?"

Zhu Zhan really couldn't understand why Yang Ding admired Lu Bu so much.

"Only Yuan Benchu ​​from Jizhou is available."

"Have you forgotten all those things about Yuan Wei?"

"Andao, you!"

Zhong Ji thought in his heart that His Majesty had acted too hastily. At this time, he gave three sets of brocade clothes to his ministers. The meaning was so obvious that it was impossible not to attract the attention of Cao Cao and others.

Zheng Tai intends to solve the problem fundamentally.

"Then we can't let the emperor's uncle go to Jiaozhou. In such a remote place, can An be able to make a difference?"

Yang Ding added that he guessed that if Liu Xie had a secret edict, it must be on Zhong Ping, but he knew that Zhong Ji protected his son like an eyeball. If he asked straight to the point, Zhong Ji would definitely bring up the topic.

"Your Majesty's intention is already tacitly understood by us, so why bother asking more."

Zhu Zhan raised his head in disbelief. Zhongji originally asked him to recommend Liu Bei to Jiaozhou to quell the rebellion. He thought that there was a rift between Zhongji and Liu Bei, or that this person had evil intentions and would be detrimental to His Majesty... Then he agreed. After all, this is For decades, these people sitting here have more or less helped each other eliminate dissidents.

"There is nothing strange about Dong Cheng."

Zhong Ji glanced at Yang Ding: "Let's not talk about whether your majesty has hidden secret edicts in his clothes. Even if he does, it is definitely not on my son...I am afraid that he has been taken to Jiaozhou by Uncle Liu Huang."

Zhu Zhan stood up immediately.

Unexpectedly, this time he actually helped the evildoer.

Zhu Zhan followed Zheng Tai's strength and sat down again, his old face full of sadness.

"Even if you want me to recommend the emperor to go to Xuzhou or Jingzhou, even if you don't go back to Pingyuan, it will be much better than Jiaozhou!"

"If you mentioned these points at the court meeting, the entire Xudu would know that His Majesty's secret edict is in Uncle Liu's hands."

"Which prince in the world has no ambition? Instead of begging these people, it is better to listen to me and kill the thief Cao directly and take his subordinates as your own."

As soon as Zheng Tai entered the door, he heard Zhu Zhan's words of praise for Yuan Shao. He went to sit down under Zhong Ji's right hand and made sarcastic remarks.

"An Dao, His Majesty previously gave you three sets of brocade robes and jade belts. Is there any ingenuity in them?"

Zheng Tai, with quick hands and quick eyes, grabbed his sleeve and said, "You and I don't know what Andao is like? He must have his reasons for doing this."

"Sit down!"

"Uncle Liu Huang has truly stepped out of the sight of the world's princes when he went to Jiaozhou. It can also be regarded as a way out for His Majesty. No matter whether we can succeed or not, Your Majesty will always have someone you can trust."

Zhongji believes that he has some good knowledge of people. In his opinion, Cao Cao's move of giving Liu Bei 8,000 troops and letting him enter Jiaozhou was like a fish entering the sea and a bird flying into the sky. This should be the opportunity for this person to rise.

Zheng Tai listened to the meaning of Zhongji's words, which suited his heart, and straightened his expression: "Do you think An Dao can succeed in my plan?" "It's easy to kill Cao Cao."

Yang Ding said: "I will hide a short sword in my sleeve, pretend to be in the army, and go to see him. Within five steps, he will be covered with blood on the spot."

Wu Shuo, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but say: "It's so easy for you to say, how can you think of something to do with Cao Cao's clan generals? If we can't catch them all in one go, those people all have soldiers and horses, how can we be able to compete?" Got it?"

"This……"

Yang Ding paused for a moment. He really didn't expect this. Cao Cao was suspicious by nature and only loved people in his clan. The power in the army was firmly in the hands of a few brothers. It was really difficult to plot.

"Among the Xudus, the only ones we can worry about are Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren."

Zhong Ji's calm voice was filled with desperate murderous intent: "Renovation, you are not the only one who can specialize in Nie Zheng's affairs."

Zhu Zhan subconsciously touched his neck. He now felt that Zhongji's operation of tricking Liu Bei into Jiaozhou was not worth mentioning.

"It is much harder to kill these three people than to assassinate Cao Cao."

Yang Ding and Zheng Tai looked at each other and seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter.

"Of course we can't kill them one by one. If we can gather these three people together..."

Wu Shuo had an idea: "If your Majesty calls you, these people should not refuse. Maybe they can be used after the attack? He is in charge of the Jinwu Guard and has many people in the palace. He only needs to drag these three people in the palace to wait for Cao's thieves. As soon as they die, these three people will be removed immediately.”

"Your Majesty summoned these three people for nothing, it was too deliberate."

Zhong Ji already had a plan in mind, but he was not sure how feasible it was, so he waited for Wu Shuo to finish speaking before speaking: "Lü Bu intends to marry his only daughter, marry Yuan Shu, and guard Xuzhou together. If this happens, Cao Cao will be safe." Can he sit still? He will definitely attack Xuzhou to defend... I guess the person leading the army must be Cao Zilian. "

"Xia Houyuan has recovered from his injury and will be returning to Xudu in the next few days. Xia Houyuan has always missed this brother, so he will naturally have the opportunity to pay for him, even if he fails..."

Zhongji glanced at Yang Ding: "I still have to go to the trouble of raising the issue of the Northern Army's reorganization in front of Dong Cheng. Isn't it that Uncle Guo is worried about not being taken seriously by His Majesty? As long as Uncle Guo is concerned about this matter, he will always Go find Xia Houyuan and help him."

"There is only one Cao Ren left. No matter what reason Your Majesty uses to summon him, it won't make Cao Cao and others wary. At most, it will only cause them to be a little suspicious. How can it hinder our actions?"

Zhongji's strategy was based on the success of Yang Ding's assassination. Zhongji still had great trust in Yang Ding's ability. He always acted carefully, and no one in the court knew about his connections.

Yang Ding has always been known as Dong Chengyi's party. Because he was Dong Zhuo's old subordinate, he was cautious and cautious. No one would have thought that he would carry out an assassination.

With calculated calculations but no intention, Yang Ding has a great chance of winning.

They have been friends for more than ten years, and they know each other's character clearly. They are not worried about anyone leaking the information. They discussed the strategy proposed by Zhongji for a long time, finalized the details, and corrected many omissions. Wherever they go, they go separately.

When Zhong Ji originally proposed that "it would be inappropriate to bring Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong together," Zhu Zhanyou wanted to say that Zhong Ping had friendship with these three people, and if Zhong Ping came forward to invite them, these three people would definitely do it. When you go to the appointment, you only need a dose of poison during the dinner... Who can't get rid of it?
But after thinking about the possible consequences of his words, Zhu Zhan kicked this idea out of his mind with all his heart.

On the way back home, Zhu Zhan was still thinking about this matter.

With Zhong Andao's temperament, before planning such a big thing, he should have arranged an escape route for his precious son, right? Now there is no sign at all.

Is it possible that he still wants Mr. Xun to take over this hot potato? If things fail, the Xun family will not be able to protect Zhong Boheng... Could it be that Zhong Andao has changed his mind? impossible.

Zhu Zhan just felt confused. Although their family members were all in Xudu, at least they still had brothers from other branches of the clan. The Zhong clan only had Zhongji and Zhongfu.

If the assassination of Cao fails, the Zhong family in Henan will be completely destroyed.

Zhu Zhan suppressed all his thoughts, stepped into the door of his house, hugged his youngest son who threw himself into his arms, and forced a smile.
