Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118 Clothes Order (2)

"Minister, General Dong Cheng of Chariot and Cavalry, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng, who was announced to meet the emperor, was led all the way to Liu Xie's bedroom by the eunuchs, and Dong Cheng paid homage to Liu Xie!
"Pingshen!" Liu Xie said, Dong Cheng got up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I don't know what your Majesty Xuanchen's audience is for?" Dong Cheng asked.

"Ye Lai, the empress and I thought of the sufferings of Bahe in the past, and thought of Ai Qing's contribution, so we specially sent you here to offer condolences!" Liu Xieqi said while walking towards Dong Cheng, holding Dong Cheng's hand.

"If it weren't for Aiqing's escort in the past, I and the empress would have been in trouble. Aiqing really deserves her credit! Aiqing is really the pillar of the country!"

"Share your majesty's worries! It's my duty!" Dong Cheng said.

"Aiqing, let me go!" Liu Xie took Dong Cheng's hand, regardless of whether he agreed or not, and walked out of the palace. Dong Cheng had to let the emperor lead him, and as he walked, he came to the palace. The Taimiao dedicated to the ancestors of generations.

"Ai Qing! You actually arrived at the Taimiao, so I followed you in to meet the sages!" Liu Xie let go of his hand, said to Dong Cheng, and turned to enter. Dong Cheng hurriedly followed in. Liu Xie first took Dong Cheng to offer incense sticks to these former emperors. , Kneel down and salute.

Standing up after the ceremony, Liu Xie pointed to the portrait of Han Gaozu Liu Bang in the middle, and said to Dong Cheng: "Do you know, Ai Qing, what is the origin of Emperor Gaozu? How did you conquer the Han Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty is teasing the minister. The deeds of Gaozu are well known in the world, so how could the minister not know about it." Dong Chengdao, and respectfully saluted Liu Bang's portrait.

"Emperor Gaozu was originally just the head of a pavilion in Surabaya, and there was no way to tyrannize the Qin Dynasty. Gaozu held a three-foot sword and killed the white snake uprising in Mangdang Mountain. Conquer the great Han world and establish a foundation for the ages to come."

"Oh!" Liu Xie sighed after hearing this.

Dong Cheng hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty! Why are you sighing?"

Liu Xie said: "The ancestors are so heroic, but the descendants are so weak and incompetent, how can we not sigh."

Liu Xie then pointed to the portraits of the left and right second assistants and said, "Are these two Marquis Liu Zhang Liang and Marquis Bing Xiao He?"

"That's right! The reason why Gaozu was able to establish the Great Han Dynasty was all thanks to the assistance of these two people, otherwise he would not have won the world." Dong Cheng looked at the portraits of the two men and said.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie saw that the eunuchs and others on the left and right were some distance away from them, so Liu Xie hurriedly approached Dong Cheng, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Aiqing should be like them, by my side and assisting me."

Seeing Liu Xie approaching suddenly, Dong Cheng was stunned. After hearing Liu Xie's words, he was startled, and his mind turned a lot, trying to figure out what Liu Xie meant.

Dong Cheng said cautiously, as the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, even though the emperor in front of him is a puppet with no rights, he is still an emperor anyway, it is always right to be careful. "Your Majesty! I don't have merit in size, how can I compare with Zhang Liang and Xiao He!"

Liu Xie looked at Dong Cheng's expression and enjoyed it very much, Liu Xie said: "I think of Aiqing's contribution to saving her from Xidu every day, and I have never forgotten it, but I have nothing to reward Aiqing."

Pointing to the brocade robe and jade belt on his body, he said: "I will give this reward to Ai Qing." After saying that, he took off his belt and handed it to Dong Cheng, who hurriedly thanked him!

Liu Xie leaned forward a little, and said in Dong Cheng's ear: "After Ai Qing returns, check carefully, and don't let me down." deep meaning.

Dong Cheng hurriedly put on his brocade clothes and jade belt, thanked him and said goodbye!When he was about to leave, Liu Xie held his hand. Dong Cheng looked at Liu Xie suspiciously, and Liu Xie said softly: "If Aiqing can't make a decision! You can fight with General Wei, Cao Cao, General Anguo, and Emperor Liu Bei." , the two discussed together."

"No!" Dong Cheng bowed and retreated, and hurried back home.

When Liu Xie took Dong Cheng to the Ancestral Temple, someone hurriedly reported the situation to Zhou Cang, the man of five senses, and Zhou Cang hurried out of the palace to discuss with Xu Maogong.

"Hmm! Do you know what they are talking about?" Xu Maogong laughed.

"Back to my lord! I don't know about this. The man said he was far away, and he didn't dare to get close. He was afraid that he would startle the snake! Master Xu, do you think there is something tricky here?" Zhou Cang said respectfully.

"Lord Zhou Cang, there must be something tricky in this. It's clear when you think about it. It seems that they are planning to deal with the lord and us." Xu Maogong said, and Xu Maogong understood that Liu Xie, a puppet, was finally unwilling to just be a puppet. A puppet, I'm afraid it will take some action.

"What?" Zhou Cang was taken aback!Jumped up, "My lord, I'm going to take them all down now." After that, he got up and went out.

"Slow!" Xu Maogong hurriedly stopped, "It's not easy to startle the snake! It won't be too late for us to figure out the situation and make plans!"

Zhou Cang stopped and looked back at Xu Maogong and said, "But we don't know what they were talking about? How do we know their conspiracy if we don't strike?"

"Don't worry! I've planted some secrets by Dong Cheng's side. We'll know soon what his plans are." Xu Mao was fair, he knew clearly that Liu Xie must have tampered with the belt that was rewarded to Dong Cheng. .

Dong Cheng returned to the mansion, came to the study room, hurriedly took off his belt, checked carefully, but found nothing, could it be that His Majesty really just gave me a brocade robe and a jade belt?Won't!From His Majesty's expression, one can tell that there must be a secret in it.

Dong Cheng immediately overturned his previous thoughts, and carefully checked the brocade robe and jade belt again to see if there was something hidden, but he still found nothing. Dong Cheng put it on the table and racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out. After thinking for a long time, It's just too sleepy.

He was planning to lie down on the table and take a nap first, but he accidentally touched the oil lamp on the table, and the lamp flower fell on the jade belt, burning the backing of the jade belt. Dong Cheng was shocked, and hurriedly extinguished it. I took the jade belt to have a look, only to find that a small hole had been burnt through the jade belt, and a piece of yellow silk could be seen inside, and blood stains could be seen vaguely.

Dong Cheng hurriedly fetched a knife, cut open the backing of the jade belt, took out the yellow silk inside, opened it to check, it turned out to be the secret edict written by Liu Xie in blood to eradicate Li Song.

Dong Cheng read the secret edict carefully, and shouted outside the study: "Come here!"

The servant outside pushed the door open and entered, saluting to Dong Cheng: "Master! What are your orders?"

"Today, I'm going to invite some adults to a banquet at my residence. Hurry up and invite Captain Yueqi, General Pian Wangzifu, Captain Changshui Zhongji, and Yilang Wu Shuo to the banquet," Dong Cheng said.

Although Liu Xie told him that if he didn't know how to do it, he could go to Liu Bei and Cao Cao to discuss important matters. Anyway, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are not Dong Cheng's confidantes after all. Some things should wait for him to discuss with a few confidants Then, make plans.

"No!" The servant took the order and left, and soon the servant brought Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo, and Zhongji to the banquet, and Dong Cheng led them to the study.

The content of the secret edict fell into Xu Maogong's hands verbatim, but it was a copy, not the original sewn into the jade belt by Liu Xie.
