In Chengguang Palace.
The officials 'voices were noisy.
Among the crowd, only Fu Wan did not say a word, as if he was asleep.
Lu Bu had his pride.
Xiao Bei had Xiao Bei's persistence.
He also had his own strong bones.
Back then, when Fu De was exiled, he repeatedly advised Xiao Bei not to be his enemy, but this time, he still did it.
This was because once Cao Cao ascended to the position of Duke, the reputation of the Han royal family would once again decline. In the future, it was already a certainty that he would be promoted to the rank of King!
"Haha!"
Xiao Bei looked at the rebuttal of the officials.
For some reason, he felt a little sad. He did not know when it started, but he had become more like a villain.
"What are you laughing at?"
Fu Wan suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
Xiao Bei shook his head and took the wooden plate with the enlarged seal and letter from Zhou Cang's hand. He said self-deprecatingly,"I found some letters in the hands of the traitors who assassinated the Minister of Justice and the four governors. I wonder if the Fuguo General would like to take a look.”
"Thud!"
Liu Xie's heart sank.
Fu Wan opened his mouth and turned to look at the throne.
At that moment, he knew that Fu Shou and Liu Xie also had the intention to get rid of Xiao Bei. Unfortunately, the letter was intercepted!
"General of the auxiliary kingdom?"
Xiao Bei asked again,"Do you want to check?"”
"Alright!"
Fu Wan pinched his sleeves, his eyes murky as he said hoarsely,""I'm old and my body isn't very strong. Could you please hand it over?”
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
"Pa da!"
Xiao Bei held the wooden tray and walked forward.
The public and officials were all looking forward to it, Liu Xie was looking forward to it, and everyone in the Rong residence was worried.
"Pa da!"
Xiao Bei stood in front and said in a deep voice,"General, do you know where you obtained the letter to assassinate me? Who wants to assassinate me, the head of the Rong Manor, the Imperial Chancellor?!"”
"I don't know!"
Fu Wan lowered his head and said gloomily.
Xiao Bei reached out and took out a letter. He said self-deprecatingly,"This letter is from the North Palace's Fushou Hall and is to be sent to the Fuguo General's Estate!”
"Boom!"
Everyone's expression changed.
This time, even Xun Yu and the six assistant ministers could not remain calm.
If Wang Yue had secretly assassinated him last time, then this time, he had openly attacked Xiao Bei.
"Stabbing!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Fu Wan's kneeling body suddenly bounced up.
With a determined expression, he held the seven-star treasured saber and stabbed towards Xiao Bei's chest.
"Kengchi!"
The blade cut open the wooden plate.
However, he was stopped by the Prime Minister's seal and couldn't advance even half an inch!
"Bang!"
Xiao Bei kicked Fu Wan's chest.
The frail body of the old and weak man was instantly sent flying several feet and smashed into the crowd of officials!
All of this happened too quickly. From the ambush to flying out, it was almost in the blink of an eye.
"Zhongkang!"
Xiao Bei's gaze was cold.
Xu Chu's eyes were filled with anger. He dragged Fu Wan out of the crowd and roared,"Old thief, do you know what you're doing? Today, you killed Marshal Xiao. Will you be the one to pacify the world, or will you be the one to destroy the three Donghu clans?”
"A crafty sycophant!"
"They are all sycophants!"
Blood seeped out from the corner of Fu Wan's mouth as he roared crazily.
Xiao Bei picked up the Seven Stars Saber from the ground and said indifferently,"The Seven Stars Treasure Saber. I remember that the Prime Minister used this saber to assassinate Dong Zhongying. I didn't expect that I would be assassinated by this saber today. It's a pity that the Fuguo General didn't have the ability to escape like the Prime Minister!”
"Xiao Bei!"
Fu Wan's hair was disheveled, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Xiao Bei shook his head, his eyes filled with pity as he said,"If all of you had such ability when facing Dong Zhuo back then, the Darkhan Dynasty wouldn't have declined to this extent!”
"Haha!"
Fu Wan smiled sadly." How could Dong Zhongying have Cao Mengde's ability? Li Ru was not as good as you back then. If I didn't kill you, the world would not have been peaceful, and the Han Dynasty would not have flourished. I was the one who killed the Minister of Justice, the one who killed the four governors, and the one who wanted to tear you into pieces!"”
"Pathetic!"
"What a pity!"
Xiao Bei said self-deprecatingly," You haven't settled the chaotic times, and you haven't killed the vassals. If someone touches your interests, you will be like a mad dog barking in the court. In terms of how ruthless I am, how can I be more ruthless than you? If the four governors die, I will die in the court. In less than three years, Yuan Shao's army will lead his troops south to the Central Plains. The vassals will continue to divide the country for a hundred years. Besides, do you really think he can submit to you?”
"Yes!"
"You're right!"
Fu Wan fell silent and looked at Xiao Bei with extreme disappointment. He said hoarsely,"If only you were Han Chen, why aren't you Han Chen?”
"Bonin!"
Xiao Bei held his sword and looked at Liu Xie. His eyes were like torches as he said,"Capture all the people who signed the letter. The emperor is young, and the prime minister is on a mission to quell the rebellion. I will take the seal to quell the chaos in the court!”
"Here!"
Man Chong shouted.
He picked up the letter from the ground, turned around, and left the hall, ordering hundreds of guards.
At this moment.
No one spoke in Cheng Guang Palace.
Liu Xie was already trembling in fear, and Xun Yu was also lost.
Fu Wan had sent people to assassinate the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and the four governors. This was to ruin the battle of Jiyan. What was even more terrifying was the assassination of Xiao Bei. This made his heart turn cold. Be it for Fu Wan or Xiao Bei, he was extremely terrified.
In just a moment!
Many of the officials were pointed out.
Zhao Yan, Sun Hui, Xi Lu, etc.
The number of people was terrifying. The already small number of officials had been reduced by more than half.
And these people were not enough. The dozen or so Tiger Guards escorting people in from outside the hall made Fu Wan grit his teeth.
"Fu Ya!"
Liu Xie's body trembled.
Fu Ya's face was ashen as she knelt before Fu Wan and said sorrowfully,"Father, before I could leave Xuchang with Brother Jun and the others, I was arrested by the Brocade Guard!”
"Xiao Bei!"
"Man Bonin!"
Fu Wan fell to the ground, his eyes devoid of light.
"Bang!"
Three bells rang out in the palace.
Liu Xie, the ministers of the court, Xun Yu and others were very flustered.
The bell of the palace could not be rung lightly. Three rings would be a great disaster!
"Pa da!"
Man Chong brought Fu Shou and a maidservant into Cheng Guang Palace.
"Xiao Bei!"
"Marquis Beishou!"
Fu Wan suddenly stood up and roared ferociously.
The officials who were not detained around them also stood up in a hurry.
"Xinzhi!"
Xun Yu's voice was trembling.
His body was trembling, and his eyes were not arguing, but pleading!
"I understand!"
Xiao Bei raised the seven-star saber in his hand and said sadly,"The mother of a country actually wrote a secret letter asking her father to think of a way to assassinate me, but from the beginning, I didn't attack you. As long as you don't attack, you can live in peace!”
"I…!"
Fu Shou's face was covered in tears.
Xiao Bei said self-deprecatingly,"Speaking of which, I didn't trigger the law. I didn't kill the officials of the court without authorization. Instead, I made a lot of contributions. My mistake was becoming the head of the Rong Mansion, quelling the rebellion of Yingchuan, recovering Xuzhou, and establishing the Imperial College, right?"”
"Yes, sir!"
Fu Shou's eyes were filled with pleading.
Xiao Bei killed people with evidence.
For example, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, even if there was no evidence, they had to find it.
However, this time, they only spread the news that Xiao Bei wanted to make Cao Cao a Duke. However, that was all. The document had not been submitted to the Ministry of Rites and had not been placed in Cheng Guang Hall for discussion with the officials.
"Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice!"
Xiao Bei turned around and said,"How should we determine the Empress's crime?"”
Cheng Yu bowed and said," The Emperor's relatives killed meritorious officials without authorization and stripped them of all titles. They were also punished as barbarians. However, the Empress is now pregnant with a dragon fetus and will be imprisoned in the pepper room for the rest of her life!"”
Xiao Bei asked again,"What crime do the others deserve?"”
Cheng Yu's brows twitched wildly." The officials colluded with the Governor of the Outer City to murder the officials of the court. They will be punished for the crime of exterminating the three clans!" he said solemnly.”
"Your Majesty!"
Xiao Bei raised his head and asked,"Will you be punished according to the laws of the Ministry of Justice?"”
"Correct!"
Liu Xie's voice was low.
His fingernails had already sunk into his palm, and blood stained his sleeves.
"Commander!"
Xiao Bei said decisively,"Immediately detain Fu Shou in the pepper room and hire a maid to serve him. He will be killed on the spot when he leaves the pepper room without permission. Then, send the Brocade Guards to cooperate with the officials of the Ministry of Justice to capture all those who are on the run and flatten the three clans as punishment!"”
"Here!"
Man Chong bowed and replied.
"Hah!"
"Haha!"
Fu Wan smiled sorrowfully and looked up at Liu Xie, who was in the position of honor. He said hoarsely,"The emperor is just a child. How can the Han Dynasty prosper? The emperor has personally condemned this old minister's crimes, so how can this old minister not obey? In this life, I only hate that Xiao Bei is not a Han minister!”
"Take him away!"
Xiao Bei waved his sleeve and said.
"Xiao Bei, Xiao Xinzhi!"
"If you had been born ten years earlier, the Great Han would not have ended up like this!”
"If only you were Han Chen, why aren't you Han Chen?”
Fu Wan's eyes were filled with madness. Under the custody of the guards, his shouts became louder and louder.
"Crazy!"
Xiao Bei shook his head and sighed.
Xun Yu's gaze was complicated." Today's farce must have tired Your Majesty. It's time to retire!"”
"No rush!"
Xiao Bei raised his head to look at Liu Xie and said in a deep voice,"Now that Xu Prefecture has been pacified and the Central Plains is at peace, the Prime Minister has put down the rebellion and set up the reform of the six ministries. The Imperial College's Chancellor, Xiao Xinzhi, is willing to request the title of Duke of Wei for the Prime Minister. His intention is to point his sword at Wei Prefecture and suppress the heroes of the four northern provinces!”
"I agree!"
Man Chong stepped forward and said respectfully.
"I agree!"
Chen Qun stepped forward and bowed.
Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao, Du Xi, Zao Zhi, Guo Jia, Xun You, and the others also stepped forward!
"We agree!"
"Please confer the title of Duke of Wei on behalf of the Prime Minister!"
The rest of the officials stood out to support the proposal, and only Xun Yu was isolated.
Xiao Bei went to court three times, and twice, he forced Liu Xiesu to empty half of the court. He killed the Han royal family's relatives, the empress, and the nobles into the cold palace.
This kind of method was no longer an existence that they, the officials, could contend against. Instead of becoming enemies with him, it was better to follow his words and save their lives.
"Correct!"
"The Ministry of Rites will draft an edict and issue it to the four quarters!"”
"Here!"
Du Xi bowed and said.
"Marquis Beishou, he might have retired!" Xun Yu said hoarsely.”
"Naturally!"
Xiao Bei nodded slightly.
Liu Xie raised his head and said with a complicated expression,"Everyone, please leave. I'm a little tired!"”
"I will take my leave!"
Xun Yu, Chen Qun, and the others bowed.
After that, the officials began to retreat towards the White Horse Gate.
"Xiao Bei!"
"Xiao Xinzhi!"
Liu Xie looked at Xiao Bei's back and shouted in a low voice,"If only you were Han Chen, why aren't you Han Chen?”
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei's footsteps paused slightly.
He didn't turn back, but directly boarded the carriage and left the palace.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be a minister of the Han Dynasty, but the system of the Han Dynasty had already decayed.
All kinds of shortcomings were as dangerous as eggs. If he were to forcefully unify the world, break all systems, and build a new system, he would only end up like Wang Mang, collapsing the new dynasty within a few decades and ushering in another chaotic era.
That was why he wanted to help Cao Cao build a new system.
Cao Cao was Cao Cao.
Liu Xie was Liu Xie.
The Han royal family was the Han royal family.
The three of them were different existences. If he helped Liu Xie, he might not be able to fulfill his ambition even until he died!
Chaotic times, peaceful times, peaceful times, the great sages of the Confucian school had already made it very clear that decay should be shattered and remolded, not repaired!
The mutiny in Xuchang.
This caused the hearts of all the officials and nobles to turn cold.
This time, they truly understood why Cao Cao said that Xiao Bei would definitely have a plan.
At the same time, it also made Xun Yu understand that in the tide of the times, he could not overturn anything with his own strength.
Two days later.
Cao Ren, Pei Mao and Shi Huan set out to the three houses.
Du Xi, as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was writing the edict to confer the title of duke.
Half a month later.
Cao Cao followed Chen Liu to return with the first battalion.
The Governor of Chenliu, Xu Xi, the Prime Minister of Liang, Mao Hui, and more than a thousand rebels were killed.
In the Prime Minister's residence.
Jia Xu told Cao Ang what he had heard.
"Gulp!"
Cao Pi gulped, his eyes filled with fear.""Mr. Wen He, are you saying that the Marquis of Beishou wiped out the three Fu clans, banished Empress Fu and the dragon fetus into the pepper room, and also cleared out half of the royal court?”
"Not bad!"
Jia Xu sighed.
Everyone in the world said that Li Ru was a poison warrior.
However, in his opinion, Xiao Bei was the real poison warrior.
"Teacher!"
Cao Ang's gaze was extremely complicated.
He couldn't imagine when he would have such ability.
"Brother!"
Cao Pi gritted his teeth." Can you bring me to meet the Marquis of Beishou? Ziheng wants to learn military strategy from him!"”
"Hmm?"
Cao Ang was slightly startled.
"Second Young Master, you once had a grudge with the Marquis of Beishou!”
"I know!"
Cao Pi took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.""I know that I will never be able to compete with you in this life, but in the future, you must have someone who is skilled in both martial arts and martial arts by your side. Although Ziheng is not as good as the Marquis of Beishou, I will try my best to learn more!”
"Brother Pi, I'll have to ask my father and teacher about this!" Cao Ang smiled bitterly.”
"Yes!"
Cao Pi nodded.
In the study room.
Cao Cao's expression also changed.
After listening to Man Chong explain all the details clearly, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Prime Minister!"
"This is the cause and effect!" Man Chong said respectfully.”
Cao Cao's gaze was complicated." I didn't expect Xinzhi to succeed. I also didn't expect that old man Fu Wan to use the Seven Stars Saber to assassinate Xinzhi. If anything happens, who will help me pacify the world and attack the three Donghu tribes?"”
"Prime Minister!"
"Although the Marquis of Beishou is not good at martial arts, ordinary people really can't hurt him!" Man Chong said helplessly.”
"You may leave!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and sighed.
