Lu Dynasty

Chapter 328
After Dong Cheng put on the jade belt and brocade robe that Liu Xie handed him, he thanked Liu Xie. Liu Xie pointed the jade belt and whispered in Dong Cheng's ear: "Uncle Guo! Go back and carefully observe and play with this jade belt. Don't disappoint my expectations!" Dong Cheng understood, and after bidding farewell to Liu Xie, he walked outside the palace.

Cao had already received a report from a servant in the palace, saying that his uncle Dong Cheng had been called into the palace by Liu Xie.Cao hurried to the palace. He happened to see Dong Cheng wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt at the gate of the palace walking out of the palace.Dong Cheng also saw Cao, and wanted to escape, but it was too late.Cao laughed and said, "Why does Uncle Guo run away when he sees Cao? Could it be that he looks down on Cao?"

Dong Cheng quickly smiled and said: "Where is the prime minister, you are busy with business, how dare I block your way. The reason why I want to do this is to show my respect for you!"

"I don't know why your Majesty called the uncle into the palace?" Cao Cai was too lazy to listen to Dong Cheng's flattery.Not to mention that Dong Cheng's flattering skills are not high enough, even if Cao wants someone to listen to his flattery, there are crowds of people outside waiting to be photographed, and every one of those people is better than Dong Cheng's.

Dong Cheng said: "It's nothing serious! Your Majesty remembered that I rescued you in the Western Capital back then. Because the situation at that time did not allow it, he didn't give me a reward. Your Majesty called me here today to reward me for my past achievements. Please see How about this brocade robe and this jade belt?" After Dong Cheng finished speaking, he turned coquettishly in front of Cao to show Liu Xie's favor for him.

"Take off the brocade robe and jade belt and show it to me!" Dong Cheng didn't dare to disobey Cao's words, so he handed over the brocade robe and jade belt on his body to him.Cao put the brocade robe and jade belt on his body and asked Dong Cheng, "Is the brocade robe and jade belt suitable for me?" Wearing it on Cao is also a different kind of mighty.

Dong Cheng looked at Cao and said stupidly: "It really fits well! If the Prime Minister likes it, I will order someone to make another set and give it to the Prime Minister, how about it?"

Cao said: "Why bother, uncle Guo just gave me this one!"

"Your Majesty, how dare I give it away to someone?" Dong Cheng said with a smile, "If the prime minister really likes it, I will order someone to rush to work when I go back, and it will be delivered to the prime minister's residence within a few days!"

"Uncle Guo is so nervous, could it be that there is something tricky in it?" Cao looked at Dong Cheng seriously, and Dong Cheng was shocked.Although Dong Cheng didn't show panic on his face, Cao had already determined that there was something wrong with the brocade robe and jade belt.However, Cao just wanted to draw out those who hindered him, so naturally he would not confiscate these things. He stared at Dong Cheng just to let Dong Cheng give him a step down.

Dong Cheng was very cooperative with Cao, and he said in a coquettish manner: "If the prime minister likes to take it, how can he say that there is something tricky in it!" Dong Cheng shook his sleeves violently, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that Dong Cheng cooperated so well, Cao laughed secretly in his heart. He threw back the brocade robe and jade belt in his hand to Dong Cheng and said: "It's a gift from the emperor, how can I take what others like, and give it back to you!" He left without saying anything.

Dong Cheng returned home and carefully studied the brocade robe and jade belt that Liu Xie gave him, but he didn't see any difference.This means that the women in the Han Dynasty were really ingenious, and Queen Fu's female celebrity did not do so well.A piece of cloth was sewn into the jade belt, as if it had never been tampered with.

It's also thanks to Empress Fu's female celebrity who did a good job, otherwise Cao wouldn't know what to do.He can't see the problem with the jade belt and return it to Dong Cheng. In this way, Dong Cheng won't be so stupid as to summon people to rebel against Cao.Dong Cheng took the jade belt and looked at it repeatedly until he found that the light was too dark and wanted to light a lamp. Inadvertently, a little spark splashed on the jade belt and burned a hole in the jade belt.Dong Cheng found a piece of blood-stained cloth in the jade belt, took it out and saw that it was an edict written by Liu Xie to him against thieves.

Dong Cheng took out the imperial edict and read it carefully. Liu Xie's writing style is really good, which made Dong Cheng burst into tears.Although Dong Cheng was very moved, he couldn't help Liu Xie.If his troops could help Liu Xie, Liu Xie would not have been brought to Xuchang forcibly by Cao.

When Dong Cheng was depressed, his servants came to report, and Wang Zifu came to visit.Dong Cheng didn't even hear who was coming, so he ordered the guests to be chased away.If others heard Dong Cheng chasing guests, he would leave as well.But Wang Zifu is Dong Cheng's close friend, and he doesn't need to be notified when he enters the hall.Even if it was a notification, the servant had just made the notification, and everyone else had arrived, and it was the same today.Wang Zifu heard Dong Cheng say that he wanted to chase away his guests, and he also saw Dong Cheng holding a piece of cloth with blood on it, looking at it absent-mindedly, so Wang Zifu snatched the cloth, and after reading what was written on it, Wang Zifu Said: "Bold Dong Cheng, dared to murder Prime Minister Cao, I should go out!"

Dong Cheng waved his hand and said, "Okay! I'm bored! You're still joking. If you have time, why don't you help me figure out what to do!" Wang Zifu has always been loyal to the Han family. Dong Cheng didn't believe it, probably even Wang Zifu himself didn't believe it.

Wang Zifu said: "As far as the two of us can accomplish something, it's better to find more people to discuss. If you are willing to serve His Majesty, you can sign your name. When we are strong enough, it is time to deal with Cao."

"It makes sense!" Dong Cheng said, "Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji and Yilang Wu Shuo are my confidantes, why don't you discuss it with them!" I wonder if God wanted Dong Cheng and the others to die earlier, but It was Dong Chenggang who said he wanted to discuss with Wu Shuo and Zhong Ji, and they arrived.Dong Cheng told Wu Shuo and Zhong Ji the whole story. These two people were already unhappy with Cao's domineering and Cao's bullying of Liu Xie in Xutian. Now they had more reason to oppose Cao, so Zhong Ji And Wu Shuo also signed their names.Dong Cheng and these three people were discussing how to expand their power, and another servant came to report, and Ma Teng from Xiliang came to visit.

As for why Ma Teng was in Xuchang, in fact, he also happened to be there.When Ma Teng and Han Sui came to attack Chang'an, Han Sui was killed by Yan Xing, but I let Ma Teng go.Later, Liu Xie recruited princes everywhere, and Ma Teng also received the edict, but he was unable to help Liu Xie.Later, Cao took Liu Xie to Xuchang, and Ma Teng brought Ma Tie and Ma Xiu to Xuchang to meet Liu Xie in order to show that he was still loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Dong Cheng was in a hurry to contact a reliable person to deal with Cao. Foreign princes like Ma Teng were not of an orthodox background, so they were not in his consideration at all, so Dong Cheng asked his servants to reply to Ma Teng that he was ill. .Hearing the servant's reply, Ma Teng said angrily: "Just now I saw him coming out of the palace wearing a brocade robe, and now he is sick? If I have nothing to do, I can come to him so late!" The servant had no choice but to report again And said what Ma Teng said to Dong Cheng again.Dong Cheng had no choice but to go out of the hall to meet Ma Teng.
