Cao Cao raised his sword to kill Zhang Liao, but Liu Bei grabbed his arm and knelt down in front of him. Xuande said,"These people are sincere.

Keep it." "I know Wen Yuan is a loyal man," said Guan Yu."I will protect him with my life.”Cao Cao threw his sword away and laughed,"I know literature too.

It's just a joke to alienate loyalty." So he personally untied the ropes, untied his clothes, and invited him to sit on the throne. Zhang Liao was moved and surrendered. Cao Cao appointed Liao as Zhonglang

He was given the title of Lord of the Pass and sent to appease Zang Ba. When Wang Ba heard that Lu Bu was dead and Zhang Liao had surrendered, he also led his troops to surrender. Cao Cao rewarded him generously.

Zang Ba also summoned Sun Guan, Wu Dun and Yin Li to surrender. Only Changxi refused to submit. Cao Cao granted Zang Ba the title of Minister of Langya. Sun Guan and others also added

He was ordered to guard the coastal areas of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. He took Lu Bu's wife and daughter back to Xudu. The army was rewarded and the camp was taken back. Passing by Xuzhou, the people burned

The incense blocked the road and asked Liu Shijun to stay as a shepherd. Cao Cao said,"You have done great service. I will wait until you are conferred a title. It will not be too late to come back.”The people kowtowed and thanked him.

Cao Cao summoned Che Zhou, the general of chariots and horses, to temporarily lead Xuzhou. Cao Cao's army returned to Xuchang and rewarded the soldiers who had gone out to fight. He left Liu Bei to rest in a house near the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The next day, Emperor Xian held a court meeting. Cao Cao reported Liu Bei's military achievements and invited Liu Bei to see Emperor Xian. Liu Bei put on his court clothes and bowed to the emperor. The emperor summoned him to the palace and asked,

"Who is your ancestor?" Liu Bei reported,"I am Liu Hong, the great-great-grandson of the Emperor Xiaojing, descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and grandson of Liu Xiong.

He's my son." The emperor asked him to take the clan pedigree to check, let Zong Zhengqing read out: "Emperor Xiaojing had fourteen sons. The seventh son is Zhongshan Jing

Wang Liu won. He Basheng gave birth to Liu Zhen, Marquis of Lucheng Pavilion. Liu Zhen gave birth to Liu Ang, Marquis of Pei. Liu Ang gave birth to Liu Lu, Marquis of Zhang. Lu Lu gave birth to Liu Lian, Marquis of Yishui. Loving to be born as Marquis Qinyang

Liu Ying. Yuan Ying gave birth to Liu Jian, Marquis of Anguo. Liu Jian gave birth to Liu Ai, Marquis of Guangling. Liu Ai gave birth to Liu Xian, Marquis of Glue. Yuwen Xian gave birth to his grandfather, Liu Shu, Marquis of Yi. Shu Sheng, Marquis of Qiyang

Liu Yi. Liu Yi gave birth to Liu Bi, Marquis of Yuanze. Liu Bi gave birth to Liu Da, Marquis of Yingchuan. Liu Da gave birth to Liu Buyi, Marquis of Fengling. Liu Buyi gave birth to Liu Hui, Marquis of Jichuan. Huisheng East

County Magistrate Liu Xiong. Liu Xiong gave birth to Liu Hong. Liu Hong did not become an official. Liu Bei is the son of Liu Hong." The emperor ruled the world, so Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle. Emperor

The emperor was very happy and asked him to enter the side hall to greet his uncle and nephew. The Emperor secretly thought,"Cao Cao wields power, and the state affairs are not under my control. Today, I have this hero's uncle.

It'll help!" So Liu Bei was appointed General of the Left and Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion. After the banquet was over, Liu Bei thanked him and left the court. From then on, everyone called him Liu Huang.

Uncle.

When Cao Cao returned to his mansion, Xun Yu and a group of advisors came to see him and said,"The Emperor acknowledging Liu Bei as his uncle is not beneficial to you.”Cao Cao said,"He

Since I have appointed him as the emperor's uncle, I will order him with the emperor's edict, and he will not dare to disobey. Besides, I left him in Xudu. Although his reputation is close to yours, it is really in my hands.

What am I afraid of? What I am worried about is that Marshal Yang Biao is a relative of Yuan Shu. If he and Yuan Shu are inside, the harm will be great. Immediately remove

Yes." So he secretly sent people to falsely accuse Li Biao of colluding with Yuan Shu, so Li Biao was arrested and imprisoned, and ordered Man Chong to investigate and punish him. At that time, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, was in Xudu.

Cao Cao remonstrated with him, saying,"The four generations of Yang Gong are virtuous and pure. How can we punish him for the sake of Yuan?”"This is the will of the court," said Cao Cao. "Let it be done," said Rong.

The king killed the Duke of Zhao. Can the Duke of Zhou say that he did not know?”Cao Cao had no choice but to remove Li Biao from office and let him return to his hometown. Zhao Yan, the counselor, was angry at Cao Cao's tyranny.

On the sparse impeachment Cao Cao did not obey the emperor's will, arbitrarily arrested the minister's crime. Cao Cao was furious and immediately arrested Zhao Yan and killed him. So all the officials were afraid. Advisor Cheng Yu said,

Cao Cao said,"Now that you are so famous, why not take advantage of this opportunity to achieve hegemony?”Cao Cao said,"There are still many people in the court. We cannot act rashly.

I should ask the emperor to hunt and observe the movement.”So he chose good horses, famous eagles, handsome dogs, bows and arrows, and gathered his troops outside the city.

I ask the emperor to hunt. "I am afraid hunting is not the right way," said the Emperor. Cao Cao said,"The emperors of ancient times hunted in spring, hunted in summer, hunted in autumn, and hunted in winter. Out at Four Seasons

Suburban sacrifice, to show the world martial arts. Now that the four seas are in turmoil, it is time to use hunting to teach martial arts.”The emperor did not dare to disobey and immediately mounted the Xiaoyao horse.

With a bow and a golden arrow, he drove out of the city. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Yu each drew their bows and inserted their arrows. They wore armor covering their hearts and held weapons in their hands.

Ten cavalry followed the emperor out of Xuchang. Cao Cao rode on a yellow flying lightning horse with claws and led 100,000 troops to hunt with the emperor in Xutian. The soldiers lined up in the enclosure.

More than 200 miles. Cao Cao and the emperor rode side by side, competing for only one horse's head. Behind him were Cao Cao's trusted aides and generals. All officials, wait from afar

Murong De received the order and mounted his horse. Suddenly, a rabbit rushed out of the grass. Liu Bei shot an arrow at the rabbit. The emperor cheered. Turning over the slope, I suddenly saw a thorn

Chase out a big deer. The emperor shot three arrows in a row and missed. He turned to Cao Cao and said,"Sir, shoot him." Cao Cao went to crusade against the emperor's precious carved bow and golden arrows.

Li Man shot an arrow, hit the deer's back, and fell into the grass. When the officials and generals saw the golden arrow, they thought that the emperor had hit it and shouted to the emperor,"Ten thousand!"

" Cao Cao galloped straight out and blocked the emperor's way to meet him. Everyone was shocked. Behind Xuande, Chief Yun was furious and picked up the silkworm lying on the ground.

He opened his phoenix eyes, raised his saber, and rode his horse to kill Cao Cao. Seeing this, Xuande hurriedly waved his hand and looked away. When Guan Yu saw his brother like this, he said,

He returned to his horse to congratulate the emperor, but did not return the precious carved bow, but hung it on his belt. After the hunting ground was closed, a banquet was held in Xutian. After the banquet, the emperor returned to Xudu. Zhong

Everyone went home to rest. "Cao Cao is a traitor who deceives the king and deceives the king. I want to kill him to rid the country of evil. Brother, do not blame me.”Liu Bei

"I'm afraid I'll shoot at the rat. Cao Cao and Emperor Wu were only a horse's head apart, and his confidants were surrounded and served. If my brother is angry for a moment, he will be easily killed.

If you don't succeed, you'll hurt the emperor and blame us.”"If we don't kill him today, he'll be a disaster," said Guan Yu.”Xuan

"It should be kept a secret for the time being," said Sun De.”When Emperor Xian returned to the palace, he wept and said to Empress Fu,"Ever since I ascended the throne, I have been a traitor.

Liu Qi said: First suffered the disaster of Dong Zhuo, and then suffered the rebellion of Li Wei and Guo Si. Ordinary people do not suffer, I and you bear the pain. Later, Cao Cao was appointed as the leader of the country.

I didn't expect to monopolize power and bully others. Every time I see him, his back is like a thorn. Today, in the enclosure, I personally greeted him and shouted congratulations. It was rude.

Extreme! Sooner or later there will be a plot, we husband and wife do not know where to die!”The Empress said,"All the officials of the court have been given the salary of the Han, but none of them have been able to do so.

Is it difficult to save the country?" Before he had finished speaking, a man suddenly came in from outside and said,"Emperor, don't worry. I recommend a person who can eliminate the country's harm." Dishi

He is the father of the Queen. "Does the Emperor know how tyrannical Cao Cao is?" asked the Emperor, covering his tears.”"Xu Tian shot the deer," said Xian.

Who doesn't know what's going on? However, in the whole court, if it was not Cao Cao's clan, it was Cao Cao's disciples. If not for the country's relatives, who will be loyal to crusade against thieves? I have no authority,

It's hard to do this. He is the general of chariots and horses, the uncle of the country, Dong Cheng, who can be entrusted.”"I have always known that Uncle Dong has often been involved in national disasters. It is appropriate to enter the palace,

"I have a plan," said Wan."Your Majesty, you can take a piece of clothing and a jade belt and give it to Dong Cheng secretly. But he sewed a secret edict inside the belt and gave it to him

So, let him go home to see the imperial edict, he can plan day and night, ghosts and gods will not notice.”The emperor thought he was right, and Fu Wan resigned and left.

The emperor then made a secret edict himself, bit his fingertip, wrote it with blood, secretly ordered Empress Fu to sew it into the jade belt and purple brocade lining, and then put on the brocade robe himself.

He put on this belt and ordered the internal history to announce Dong Cheng's arrival. When the ceremony was over, the Emperor said,"I have come to tell the Empress about the sufferings of the Ba River. I am grateful for your great service.

Yes. In the middle is a portrait of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty. The Emperor said,"Where did my Emperor Gaozu rise? How to start a business?" "Your Majesty is joking," said Cheng in alarm.

It's just me. Why don't you know what happened to the Holy Ancestor? Emperor Gao rose from the Tingchang of Surabaya. He carried a three-foot sword and cut down the snake in the uprising. He dominated the four seas for three years.

After the fall of Qin, five years later, Chu was destroyed, so he occupied the world and established a foundation for thousands of generations.”The Emperor said,"Our ancestors are so heroic, and our descendants are so weak.

How lamentable!" Then he pointed to the statues of his two assistants and said,"Are they not Zhang Liang, Marquis of Liu, and Xiao He, Marquis of Wei?”"That's right," said Cheng. high

His grandfather founded the foundation and started a business, relying on the strength of these two people.”The emperor looked back and saw that the people around him were far away, so he secretly said to Li Cheng: "You should also be like this. The two of you stand in front of me

Side." "I have done nothing," said Cheng."How can I resist?”The Emperor said,"I think of your service in saving the Emperor in the Western Capital. I have never forgotten it. There is nothing I can do.

Bestow." He pointed to the belt of his robe and said,"You should wear my robe and tie my belt as if you were always by my side.”Yuan Cheng kowtowed and thanked him. Dijie

He gave him the robe and belt, and said in secret,"You may go back and observe it carefully. Don't let me down.”Zhang Cheng understood, put on a robe belt, bid farewell to the emperor down the pavilion.

Cao Cao was informed that the Emperor was speaking to Dong Chengdeng in the Hall of Meritorious Servants.”Cao Cao immediately went to court to see. Dong Cheng has just left the palace

At the door, he met Cao Cao, who had no place to hide, so he stood by the roadside and saluted. "Where are you, uncle?" asked Cao Cao. He replied,"I have been blessed by Heaven

The son summoned him and gave him a brocade robe and a jade belt." "Why did you give him the gift?" asked Cao Cao. "I remember my service to the Western Capital in saving you," said Cheng.

I have this gift." "Let me see," said Cao Cao. Zhang Chengxin knew that there must be a secret edict in his belt. He was afraid that Cao Cao would see through it and delayed it. Cao Cao scolded Zuo

"Hurry up and untie it!" After looking at it for a long time, he smiled and said,"It really is a good jade belt! Take off your brocade robe and let me borrow it." Fear in the heart

He was afraid and dared not disobey, so he took off his robe and presented it to the emperor. Cao Cao personally lifted it with his hand and looked at it carefully in the shadow of the sun. After reading it, she put it on herself.

After tying the jade belt, he looked back at his attendants and asked,"How long is it?”The people around praised him. Cao Cao said to Cheng,"Your Imperial Uncle will give me this robe and belt.

How about me?" He said,"I dare not give you what you have given me. I'll make another offering." Cao Cao said,"Uncle, please accept this belt.

Could it be that there's a conspiracy behind this?" "How dare I?" said Cheng, surprised. If the Prime Minister wants, you can stay." Cao Cao said,"You have received your reward. What can I do?

Snatch? It's just a joke." So he took off his robe and belt and returned to Cheng.

The dragon was wearing a flower, with a purple brocade lining on the back. It was sewn neatly and neatly. There was nothing in it. Zhang Chengxin was suspicious. He put it on the table and looked for it again and again. After a long time, tired

It's too much. Just as he was about to lie down on a few tables to sleep, suddenly the lamp fell on the belt and burned the back. He was surprised to wipe it, but it had been burned in one place, revealing a little plain silk.

He saw blood. He quickly took out his knife and opened it. It was the emperor's secret edict written in blood. The imperial edict said,"I have heard that in the great human relations, father and son are the first; Zun

The difference between the humble and the humble is that the monarch and his subjects are more important. Recently, he has been bullying his father. Forming cliques and corrupting the court's discipline, I don't have the right to reward or punish.

Lord. I worry day and night, afraid that the world will be in danger. You are the minister of the country and my closest relative. You should remember the difficulties of Gao Di's pioneering work and gather loyalty.

It is a great honor for our ancestors to be a martyr who can save both sides and destroy the treacherous party and restore the stability of the country! Break your finger and sprinkle your blood. Write an edict to you. Be careful twice. Don't let me down.

Intent! In the spring of the fourth year of Jian 'an, an edict was issued."

After Dong Cheng finished reading, he shed tears and could not sleep all night. He got up in the morning and went to the Academy again. He read the edict again and again, but he could not do anything.

So he put the edict on the table and pondered the plan to destroy Cao Cao. I can't decide. I lie down on a table.

Suddenly the assistant minister Wang Zifu arrived. The gatekeeper knew that Xiao Zifu and Dong Cheng had a good relationship, so he did not dare to stop him and finally entered the academy. See Cheng lying unconscious, under the sleeve

It was pressed down with a plain silk, revealing the word "Zhen". Zi Fu was suspicious, silently took it out, looked at it, hid it in his sleeve, and called out to Cheng: "Uncle is so free! deficient you

How can I sleep!" Yuan Cheng woke up in shock, did not see the edict, was scared out of his wits, hands and feet panic. "You want to kill Cao Cao," said Tsze-fu. I'll go out

Head." "If you do this, my brother, the Han Dynasty will perish.”Tsze-fu said,"I was just joking. My ancestors have been enjoying the salary of the Han Dynasty for generations. Are they not loyal?

Heart? I'm willing to help you kill the rebels.”"It is a great blessing for the country that you have such a heart, brother," said Cheng.”Tsze-fu said,"In the secret chamber

They set up a righteous form together and gave up their three tribes to repay the king of Han.”Zhang Cheng was very happy, took out a white silk, first wrote the name and painted words. Zi Fu is also the title of the painting

Words. When the letter was finished, Tsze-fu said,"General Wu Tsze-lan is very kind to me.”"Of all the ministers of the court, only Changshui

Colonel Zhong Ji and Wu Shuo, the counselor, are my confidants. They will certainly work with me.”Just as they were discussing, the servant came in to report that Zhong Ji and Wu Shuo had come to investigate. Cheng

"Heaven is on my side," said the man. He taught his son to wear mourning clothes and hide behind the screen for a while. The two men entered the academy and sat down. After drinking tea, Xiao Ji said: "Xu Tian Hunting

Do you still bear a grudge?" "I hate him, but I can't do anything about it.”"I swear to kill him," said Shuo."I hate those who do not help me.

Ear!" "I will kill the evil for the country, and I will die without complaint.”Prince Obeying stepped out from behind the screen and said,"You two want to kill Prime Minister Cao. I'm going to

First, State Uncle Dong is the witness." "A loyal minister is not afraid of death," said Zhong Ji angrily. We will die as Han ghosts, better than you to submit to the country's bandits!”Cheng

"That's why we want to see you two," he said with a smile. Assistant Minister Wang is just joking." He took out the edict from his sleeve and showed it to the two men. second

When people read the edict, they could not stop crying. Li Cheng then asked for a book title. Tsze-fu said,"Wait here for a moment, you two. I will go and ask Wu Tsze-lan to come.”Are you going to take your clothes?

After a long time, he came with Zi Lan and met everyone. He also finished writing. He was invited to drink in the back hall. Suddenly there was a report that Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, had come to see him. Cheng

Why should I blame you for being ill when I go out with you? I didn't come here for nothing. Why refuse me?”The gatekeeper went in to report that Liu Teng was angry. "Gentlemen," said Cheng Qi.

Please wait for a moment." Then he went out of the hall to receive him. When the ceremony was over and they were seated, Teng said,"I have come to see you, and I am about to return. I have come to bid you farewell. How can you refuse me?"

Also?" "My humble body is ill, and I have not received you," said Cheng."It is a great sin.”"Your face is full of the color of spring," said Teng."You don't look ill.”I have no words to say

He answered. Liu Teng waved his sleeves and stood up. He sighed and went down the steps."They are not people who can save the country!" Zhang Cheng was moved by his words and asked him to stay."What do you mean?

Are you not a person who can save the country?" "I was still angry about Xu Tian's hunting. You are the country's greatest relative, but you are still afraid of wine and women.

But do not think of crusade against thieves, how can you be the royal family to help the people in distress!”He pretended to be surprised and said,"Prime Minister Cao is a minister of the state.

Why do you say such a thing?" "Do you think Cao Cao is a good man?" said Liu Teng angrily.”"Your eyes and ears are very close," said Cheng."Please, sir.

Whisper." "Those who covet life and fear death are not worthy of discussing great matters.”After saying that, he stood up again. He knew that Liu Teng was loyal and said:

"Please calm down. I'd like you to take a look at something." So he invited Li Teng into the Academy and took out the edict to show him. After reading it, Teng's hair stood on end, and he bit his teeth and chewed his lips.

With a mouth full of blood, he said to Cheng,"If you do anything, I will lead the Xiliang army to respond.”Please let me meet you and take out my righteousness.

The book was written and taught to write. So he took wine and swore an oath of blood, saying,"We will not let down our promise to the death!”Pointing to the five seated, he said,"If you get ten

People, things are going well." "A loyal man is hard to come by. If you don't give people, you'll hurt each other.”Teng teaches to take the mandarin duck

Check the Preface Book of the Egret. When he arrived at the Liu clan, he clapped his hands and said: "Why don't we discuss this with him?" Everyone asked who it was. MA Teng

He calmly said that person. [Original title: Originally because the imperial uncle received the imperial edict, and saw Zong Huang assist the Han Dynasty.] After all, what Ma Teng said was true.
