The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265 Chapter 264
In the emperor's palace, Liu Xie, who was already lying on the dragon couch, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. For some reason, his heart felt empty, and his eyelids kept beating from time to time.

Concubine Dong beside her was already asleep, and Liu Xie could hear Concubine Dong's even breathing in the silent night.

It stands to reason that Liu Xie should be happy, but he still can't be happy. Instead, he has a faint worry, worrying that if something goes wrong with Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, not only his plan will be completely ruined, but even his own life will be ruined. will also be threatened.

Facts have proved that Liu Xie has the ability to predict danger. After about a stick of incense, there were bursts of noisy voices outside the bedroom.

Liu Xie immediately sat up from the dragon couch. Through the window, he could see the flames soaring into the sky outside, and his heavy and hasty steps were moving from far to near, and the terrified shouts of the palace maids outside continued: "Auspicious general!"

The general came here late at night, there must be something important, Liu Xie's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, he immediately put the dragon robe on his body in a panic, and when he was putting on his shoes, the door of the bedroom was suddenly opened, he glimpsed Zhang Yan with a ferocious face strode towards the dragon couch, followed by Xu Sheng and others.

"Great... Great General... came to see me late at night, I don't know what's important?" After all, Liu Xie was still a child, seeing Zhang Yan's eyes full of hostility, and looking at him even more, the whole person's heart Instantly filled with fear!
Zhang Yan looked coldly at the thin little emperor in front of him, didn't speak, but waved back, and the soldier threw the two bloody heads over, rolling down at Liu Xie's feet.

Liu Xie was startled, hurriedly raised his feet, and hid on the dragon couch, staring at the two heads on the ground with a face of fear. Although his hair was a little messy and his face was covered with blood, there was a strong In the light of the fire, he could still clearly see the appearance of these two heads.

It's Dong Chenghe Fu Wan!

Liu Xie was stunned. At this moment, his heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, with all kinds of tastes, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.In addition, fear, anxiety, and panic all turned into anger in an instant. He immediately raised his head, pointed to the heads of Dong Cheng and Fu Wan on the ground, and asked, "What crime did they commit? The general wants to kill them!" ?”

"Dong Cheng and Fu Wan colluded with Yuan Shao, conspired against the law, wanted to cooperate with the outside world, and murdered the minister and His Majesty. Fortunately, the minister found out in time, which killed their plan in the bud. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!" Zhang Yan said righteously asked.

"Is there any evidence?" Liu Xie asked.

"Ting Wei's Mansion is collecting evidence, and the evidence will be presented to His Majesty tomorrow morning!" Zhang Yan said.

Liu Xie was completely discouraged. He sneered and said nothing. Dong Cheng and Fu Wan were dead. How to convict, isn't it all up to Zhang Yan?

Suddenly, Liu Xie felt that he was really stupid, extremely stupid, and regretted that he asked Zhang Yan for evidence.

At this time, Concubine Dong was awakened. Seeing Dong Cheng's head on the ground, she burst into tears and immediately rolled out of bed, not caring that she only had thin clothes on her body, and not afraid that Dong Cheng's blood would stain her. Picking up Dong Cheng's head, he shouted loudly: "Father—"

Zhang Yan watched coldly, seeing Concubine Dong like this, he didn't react at all.At this time, he took out an imperial decree, threw it directly to Liu Xie, and asked: "Your Majesty, I found this imperial edict on Dong Cheng, my minister, may I ask Your Majesty, where did this imperial edict come from?"

Afraid of what to come, Liu Xie took the imperial decree and took a look. Isn't this the imperial decree written by himself, and it is also stamped with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which is a genuine imperial decree.

Liu Xie frowned tightly, feeling chills on his back and breaking out in cold sweat. He didn't dare to look up at Zhang Yan, because he knew that Zhang Yan must be looking at him with the most ferocious eyes at this moment, and he also wanted to know the answer.

Time passed bit by bit, Liu Xie contemplated for a moment, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but they all reminded himself that he must endure, don't act recklessly, survival is the most important thing.

"Your Majesty! I want to know where this imperial decree came from?" Seeing that Liu Xie didn't answer, Zhang Yan asked again.

Liu Xie put down the imperial decree tremblingly, his eyes widened, and with an expression of disbelief on his face, he immediately said: "General, please don't get me wrong, this imperial decree was not written by me, it is It was written by someone copying my handwriting, and this Jade Seal must have been stolen and sealed by someone, I don't know it at all..."

Zhang Yan sneered, guessing that Liu Huihui would push this matter away, he immediately slowed down his tone, and said slowly: "Since it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it must be Dong Cheng and Fu Wan. Why, I heard that Fu Wan has good calligraphy skills and can copy other people's handwriting, so it must have been copied by Fu Wan. As for the imperial seal, it has been kept beside His Majesty, and it is difficult for ordinary people to touch it. It is absolutely impossible for Dong Cheng and Fu Wan to steal it and cover it under His Majesty's nose. I think that this handed down jade seal must have been made by someone closest to His Majesty. Concubine Dong is Dong Cheng's daughter. Dong Cheng did such a rebellious thing, without the help of Concubine Dong, how could this edict be forged? Concubine Dong must have stolen the Jade Seal of Chuanguo while His Majesty was asleep, and sealed it secretly!"

Liu Xie suddenly understood Zhang Yan's intentions, and also hated his own weakness and incompetence. With a simple sentence, he actually harmed his beloved concubine Dong Shi.But the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing he can do. In order to protect himself, he can only hold this basin of dirty water on Concubine Dong's head.

"That's right... The general's analysis is good. Concubine Dong must have stolen the Chuanguo Yuxi while I was asleep. Concubine Dong and Dong Chengli cooperated with each other, and thus deceived me in the dark..."

When he said this, Liu Xie's heart was bleeding. He didn't dare to look at Concubine Dong. He didn't know what Concubine Dong's expression would be after hearing what he said, would she hate herself, anyway, he himself He hated himself to the core.

"Hahahaha..." Concubine Dong laughed wildly, holding Dong Cheng's head, and stood up from the ground. She didn't blame Liu Xie, she knew that Liu Xie had no choice but to point at Zhang Yan and said angrily: " Zhang Yan is a traitor! This is what this concubine did, and has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Now that the matter has been exposed, this concubine knows what will happen, you big traitor, everyone can punish you..."

Zhang Yan remained calm, standing there motionless, Concubine Dong was still cursing him loudly, he didn't speak, but waved his hands behind him.

"Drag out! Fa-rectification on the spot!" Xu Sheng immediately understood, and shouted at the subordinates behind him.

Two soldiers stepped forward and took Concubine Dong out, and soon, Concubine Dong's screams came from outside the bedroom.

A soldier came in again with Concubine Dong's head in his hands. He clasped his fists in front of Zhang Yan and said, "General, the prisoner has been executed. This is her head!"

Zhang Yan said "Yes", and the soldier immediately backed out. He saw Liu Xie's eyes were dull, his whole body was trembling, and his crotch was wet a lot, so he knew that Liu Xie had already wet his pants in fright.

Even though Liu Xie had experienced the disasters of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si successively, it was the first time that the God of Death approached so closely.In the past, no matter what, there were many people around him to protect him. No matter how fierce the pursuers of Li Jue and Guo Si were, there were always people from Qin Wang.But this time, for the first time, he felt so lonely and helpless, and all the cronies around him were killed by Zhang Yan, even his concubine was not spared. From then on, he really became a Alone.

"Your Majesty is still young and has no clear judgment on some matters. From the perspective of my ministers, it is most appropriate for your Majesty's imperial jade seal to be kept by my ministers, so as to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future." Zhang Yan said coldly .

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan didn't care about Liu Xie's disagreement, so he asked Xu Sheng to go straight and take back the Chuan Guo Yuxi that was placed on a table in the room.

Liu Xie watched helplessly as Chuan Guo Yuxi was taken away, but he was helpless.

"Your Majesty, what happened tonight, I believe that your majesty can be used as a warning, don't trust the people around you easily, and be careful of slander. I will not disturb your Majesty's rest, I will leave!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan led the people out of the bedroom, and took away the heads of Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, and Concubine Dong. As for the pool of blood on the ground, let the palace maid clean it up.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan ordered Xu Sheng to send someone to strictly monitor Liu Xie, and resolutely prevent such things from happening again. From then on, Liu Xie was basically put under house arrest by Zhang Yan, and he was no longer able to do small tricks under Zhang Yan's nose.

Zhang Yan killed Dong Cheng and Fu Wanman overnight, and gave Liu Xie a serious warning.Originally, Zhang Yan had already moved to kill Liu Xie and wanted to get rid of Liu Xie.

But later, on the way to the palace, they thought that the man's strength was not exhausted, and many people still had a glimmer of hope for the court of the man. If he killed Liu Xie and was charged with regicide, he might be condemned by the world He had just gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, and Yuan Shao in Hebei was about to challenge himself again. At this juncture, the killing of the king should not happen, otherwise, once the princes of the world united, he would be confronted with the enemy, and it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

After Zhang Yan finished all this work, it was midnight, when he returned to the mansion, he found that Mi Zhen hadn't slept, but had been waiting for him.

He was moved in his heart, and shared the bed with Mi Zhen that night, as the saying goes, a moment of Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and the joy of fish and water between the two is naturally reasonable...
