Dong Cheng said goodbye to Cao Cao and returned home. He sat alone in the Academy at night.
He looked at the robe again and again, but there was nothing.
Dong Cheng thought to himself,"The Emperor gave me the robe belt and asked me to look at it carefully. This is not an unintentional act."
Why was there nothing? Impossible!”
Then he took out the jade belt and looked at it. He saw that the jade belt was white and exquisite, and it had been crushed into a small dragon wearing flowers.
The back was lined with purple brocade, sewn neatly, and there was nothing much.
Dong Cheng was puzzled. He placed the items on the table and searched carefully.
After an unknown amount of time. Just as she was about to lie down on the table and sleep.
Suddenly, the light fell on the jade belt, burning the inner lining behind him.
Dong Cheng wiped it in bewilderment, but it had already been burnt.
He saw that there was a thin silk inside, and there was a faint trace of blood.
Dong Cheng hurriedly 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 the great human relations, father and son first;
There is a difference between the superior and the inferior, and the monarch and his subjects are the most important.
Recently, Cao Cao has been abusing his power and oppressing your father.
Forming cliques and corrupting the court's discipline;
It is not up to me to reward and punish.
I worry day and night, afraid that the world will be in danger.
You are the minister of the country and my greatest relative.
We should remember the difficulties of Gao Di's pioneering work and gather loyal and righteous martyrs.
Destroy the treacherous party, restore the stability of the country, ancestors very lucky!
He broke his finger and spilled blood. He wrote an edict and handed it to you. You should be careful four times.
Don't let me down! In the spring of the fourth year of Jian 'an, an edict was issued in March.
After Dong Cheng finished reading, his face was already covered in tears and he could not sleep for the entire night.
In the morning, he went to the Academy again.
I read the secret edict again and again. There was nothing he could do.
Thus, he placed the secret edict on the table and thought hard about how to destroy Cao Cao.
Suddenly a servant came to report that the assistant minister Wang Zifu asked to see him.
The gatekeeper knew that Wang Zifu and Dong Cheng had a close relationship and did not dare to stop him.
He actually allowed him to enter the Academy. Wang Zifu saw Dong Cheng sleeping on the table with a plain handkerchief under his sleeve.
He slightly revealed the word "Zhen". Wang Zi Fu was very puzzled.
He quietly picked it up and hid it in his sleeve.
He pretended to shout at Dong Cheng,"Uncle is so free!" To think that you can still sleep!"
Dong Cheng woke up from his sleep when he heard Wang Zi Fu's voice. When he did not see the edict, he was scared out of his wits and panicked.
"You want to kill Cao Gong? I'm going to tell him."”
Dong Cheng sobbed and said to him,"If you do this, the Han Dynasty will cease to exist!"”
"I'm just joking with you." My ancestors have been eating Han food for generations. Don't you have any loyalty?
I'm willing to help you kill the traitor.”
Dong Cheng was overjoyed and said,"It is a great fortune for the country that you have such a heart.”
Wang Zifu said firmly,"We should make a pledge together in the secret chamber and give up the three clans to repay the Han King."”
Dong Cheng was overjoyed. He took out a piece of white silk and signed his name on it.
Wang Zifu also signed his life. The two finished writing.
"General Wu Zilan is quite close to me," Wang Zifu said."We can conspire together with Cao Cao."”
Dong Cheng also said,"Among all the ministers in the court, only Changshui Lieutenant Zhong Ji and Counselor Wu Shuo are my confidants. They will definitely be able to plan with me."”
Just as they were discussing, a servant came to report that Zhong Ji and Wu Shuo had come to visit him.
When Dong Cheng heard that they were here, he shouted,"The heavens are helping me!"
Therefore, he let Wang Zifu temporarily hide behind the screen.
Dong Chengjie and the other man sat down in the Academy and drank their tea.
Zhong Ji was the first to speak,"Does Ming Gong also hate Cao Cao for Xu Tian's hunting?"”
"Although I hate him, I can't do anything about it.”
When Wu Shuo heard this, he said with grief and indignation,"I swore to kill this thief. Unfortunately, no one helped me!"”
Zhong Ji also said,"To eliminate evil for the country, even if I die, I will not complain!"”
At this moment, Prince Fu walked out from behind the screen and said,""You two want to kill Prime Minister Cao! I should go and report it, and State Uncle Dong will be the witness.”
Zhong Ji said angrily,"A loyal minister is not afraid of death! We will die as Han ghosts, better than you to submit to the country's bandits!”
Dong Cheng smiled and said,"We wanted to see you two for this matter." Assistant Minister Wang's words are just a joke."
He took out the secret edict from his sleeve and showed it to the two men. The two men read the edict and wept.
Dong Cheng then asked the two of them to write down their names.
"Wait a moment, you two. I'll go get Wu Zilan."”
Not long after Wang Zifu left, he arrived with Wu Zilan.
When everyone met, they all signed their names.
Suddenly, a disciple came to report that Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, had come to visit.
Dong Cheng told his disciples,"He only said that I was sick and could not receive him."”
The gatekeeper reported. "I came to the Donghua Gate last night and saw him come out of the palace in a brocade robe and jade belt," Ma Teng said angrily.
Why is he sick? I didn't come because I had nothing to do. Why didn't you see me?”
The gatekeeper reported Ma Teng's words to Dong Cheng.
Dong Cheng stood up and said,"Everyone, wait a moment. I'll go out and meet him first."”
