Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119 Clothes Order (3)

After Zhou Cang heard the news, he hurried to Xu Maogong's place. He saw Xu Maogong was drinking tea while flipping through books. There was something on the table. Xu Maogong didn't lift his head and said, "You're here!"

"My lord! You came to me in such a hurry, have you already figured out the situation?" Zhou Cang went straight to the point without saying any nonsense as soon as he entered the door.

Xu Maogong put down the books in his hands, picked up the silk cloth on the table, handed it to Zhou Cang and said, "You can see for yourself, you will know."

Zhou Cang took the silk cloth and looked through it. It turned out that Liu Xie wanted to eradicate Li Song's secret edict. Zhou Cang was shocked and carefully checked the content of the secret edict.

I heard that in the great human relationship, father and son come first; in the difference between honor and inferiority, the ruler and his subjects are the most important.Recently, thief Li has been gaining power and oppressing military fathers;I worry about it every night, I'm afraid the world is in danger!Aiqing, you are the minister of the country, my relatives, remember the difficulties of the ancestors in starting a business, call together the martyrs who are loyal and righteous, eliminate the traitors, and restore the country, the ancestors are very lucky!Broke your fingers and spilled blood, and ordered Fu Qing to be careful, and you must not disappoint my expectations.In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, the imperial edict was issued in December.

"Hmph!" Zhou Cang threw the silk and preached angrily after seeing it, "This emperor really doesn't know what to do. If the lord hadn't welcomed him to Xuchang, he would have been able to be an emperor. I'm afraid he either died of war or starved to death on the street."

When Li Song went to Anyi to meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Cang followed Li Song, but he saw how downcast Liu Xie was. Liu Xie's panicked expression and his cowardice were always remembered in Zhou Cang's mind In the story, Zhou Cang has always looked down on this cowardly emperor.

Looking at the aggrieved Zhou Cang, Xu Maogong smiled slightly, said nothing, picked up the book, and continued to read his book. Zhou Cang didn't know Liu Xie's political value, but a person like Xu Maogong knew it very well. If Li Song doesn't control Liu Xie, there will be other people who will control him, but it's just a question of who will take the first step.

"My lord! I will order people to take them all down!" Zhou Cang cupped his fists and saluted, ready to leave.

"General Zhou Zhong, wait!" Xu Maogong stopped Zhou Cang, put down his books, stood up and took a step forward, looking at Zhou Cang who was less than a finger away from him.

"Master Xu, what's the matter for you to stop me? If not, I'll go back and get someone!" Zhou Cang said.

"If you do this, you will only scare the snake! The capital's troops are insufficient. If you act rashly like this, it will only make them jump over the wall. At that time, Xuchang will fall into their hands, and they will tell the princes of the world to deal with us together. Unfavorable." Xu Mao was fair.

"Then what should we do according to your lord's opinion?" Zhou Cang said, Zhou Cang thought about it, and knew how powerful it was.

"When the lord left Xuchang, he ordered me to be the prime minister of Xuchang. I had secretly ordered someone to report the matter of Xuchang to the lord."

"You continue to monitor the emperor's every move. If there is anything abnormal, immediately control the emperor. No matter what, you can't let the emperor fall into their hands."

"Also, we must always monitor the actions of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, especially if there is any connection between them! As for how to deal with them, all decisions will be made after the lord returns." Xu Maogong said.

"You mean, it's possible for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to..." Zhou Cang didn't go on when he said this, the meaning was self-evident.

"It's not possible, but they will definitely. These two are extraordinary people! They are both unworldly heroes, how can they be subservient to the Lord." Xu Maogong nodded and said.

"Then what if they do something?" Zhou Cang asked.

"No! Their goal is the lord. As long as the lord doesn't know Xu Chang, they won't do it in advance." Xu Mao said fairly.

"Yes! I know how to do it! Farewell!" Zhou Cang saluted with his fists in his arms, hurriedly left, and rushed back to the palace to monitor Liu Xie's every move. At the same time, he ordered people to keep an eye on Cao Cao and Liu Bei. He also knew how urgent the situation was.

At Dong Cheng's mansion, Dong Cheng invited Captain Yueqi, General Pian Wang Zifu, Captain Changshui Zhongji, and Yilang Wu Shuo to a banquet.

Wang Zifu put down the wine bottle in his hand, cupped his hands to Dong Cheng and said, "Brother Dong, what is the purpose of inviting us this time?"

Dong Cheng put it in the wine bottle, laughed and said: "Today, I was summoned by the emperor! The emperor thanked me for my service in saving the car in the western capital, and gave me a brocade robe and jade belt. That's why I invited you to a banquet, and enjoy the mighty grace of the emperor with me!" said Forget it, I arched my hands in the direction of the palace.

"Oh! I really want to congratulate Brother Dong. Being able to receive His Majesty's favor is so enviable! I respect Brother Dong, and I do it first!" Wu Shuo raised the wine bottle to Dong Cheng, and then drank it down. The others also raised their bottles and drank them all in one gulp.

"Brother Dong, why don't you take out the gift from the Son of Heaven, and let me have a look." Everyone put down the wine bottles, and immediately a servant filled them up, and said to Dong Cheng.

"I have enshrined the thing bestowed by the Son of Heaven in the secret room. If you want to have a look, please move to the secret room!" After Dong Cheng said, he got up and made a gesture of invitation to the three people, then left the seat, the prince dressed and waited. He got up and left the seat, and followed Dong Cheng to the secret room.

"Brother Dong, where is the gift from the emperor?" Wu Shuo looked around the secret room, but he didn't find the brocade robe and jade belt in Dong Cheng's mouth.

Dong Cheng took out a box from a hidden compartment, came to the three of them and said: "The thing bestowed by the Son of Heaven is in this box."

After finishing speaking, Dong Cheng opened the box, and the three of them looked inside, only to see a piece of yellow silk lying quietly in the box, with faint bloodstains on it, and the word "zhen" slightly exposed, the three were puzzled, and the prince took He reached out and took it out, opened it and watched it with Wu Shuo and Zhong Ji.

"Brother Dong, is this the emperor's secret edict?" After reading it, Wu Shuo asked.

"That's right! It's the emperor's secret edict, ordering us to eradicate traitors." Dong Cheng put down the box and nodded to them.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Wu Shuo said.

"For the sake of the country, I will die with no regrets," Zhong Ji also expressed his position.

"Let's set up a pledge of righteousness in this secret room, and each of us will give up the three clans in order to repay the emperor and prove our loyalty!" Wang Zifu suggested.

"As it should be!"

"Exactly what I want!"

"Okay!" Wu Shuo, Zhong Ji, and Dong Cheng said. Dong Cheng hurriedly brought a piece of white silk and took the lead to write his name on it. Wang Zifu and others also wrote their names on the white silk. Put away the white silk.

"General Wu Zilan, I have a deep friendship and can plan together with him!" the prince persuaded.

Dong Cheng nodded in agreement with Wu Zilan's joining, and said, "Brother Dong, why didn't you invite Cao Cao and Liu Bei to discuss the plan to eliminate the thieves?"

"These two people still control these soldiers and horses. If we can get their help, we will be [-]% sure of this operation!"

"I will naturally contact these two people, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rely on them alone. In order to be safe, I decided to contact the princes from all walks of life and join us to eradicate Thief Li. The princes from all walks of life will contact me, Wu Zilan Over there, I will hand it over to the prince." Dong Cheng said.

"Okay! I'll go and find Wu Zilan right away, and we'll discuss a great plan to eliminate the thief!" The prince agreed, and left the secret room with his arms folded. After finding Wu Zilan, he brought him to the secret room and asked him to write his name on the white silk as well.

"Oh! What are they discussing in the secret room?" Xu Maogong looked at the humanity who came to report the situation in Dong Cheng's mansion.

"My lord! I don't know the lowly position. Without Dong Cheng's consent, no one can get close!" the man said.

It seems that I have to go there in person to find out the situation. Xu Maogong waved him away, called the servant, prepared gifts, and went to Dong Cheng's mansion to find out the situation.

After everyone finished discussing, they left the secret room and saw Dong Cheng's family servants coming towards them. Dong Cheng went up to greet them and said, "What's the matter?"

"My lord! The censor, Xu Maogong, please see me!" the servant saluted.
