When the matter came to this point, it was said that everyone should retreat, but Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, Sanssouci Palace is a peaceful place for Tianzi Yan, so you must not be careless." Since His Majesty needs to recuperate for three months, his safety and health need to be taken care of. ”

Xun Yu next to him glanced at him, and suddenly an alarm appeared in his heart. The Son of Heaven has already determined the nature of this matter, but this ruler is full of branches, and he doesn't know what his intentions are.

Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Liu Xie's face was dejected, and he didn't seem to have much interest, and said lightly: "Why did Dong Qing's family say this? ”

Dong Chenghui: "Your Majesty is recuperating for three months, it is not trivial, you should choose two or three important ministers of the court, supervise the palace ban, rectify the guards, and Fang Du hidden dangers." ”

Xun Yu thought to himself, Dong Cheng was going to take advantage of His Majesty's illness to attack the entire imperial city's guard system. But the Praetorian Guards have always been in the hands of His Majesty's former ministers, and if he does this, isn't he hurting himself? Thinking of this, Xun Yu couldn't help but take a look at Dong Cheng, this relative of the dynasty looked loyal and upright, and he couldn't see any discoloration.

"I don't know if General Dong has a proposal?" Xun Yu was not in a hurry to show his attitude, but to retreat as advance, wanting to see what Dong Cheng was thinking.

Dong Cheng thought for a moment and replied: "Taichang Yang Biao, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Dong Fen, and Guanglu Xun Hengfan are all the best choices. ”

Hearing these three names, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai moved the corners of their mouths in unison.

Too often in charge of the temple ceremony, in the imperial history, the lord of the emperor checked and corrected the negligence of hundreds of officials, Guangluxun was in charge of the palace city guard, and the choice of these three officials to rectify the imperial city is beyond reproach. But in the eyes of those who are familiar with the inside story, there is a lot of meaning to be explored: Dong Fen and Heng Fan are both old men of the royal family, needless to say; But that is too often Yang Biao, but it is very interesting.

Taichang Yang Biao has a prominent background, from the family of the fourth world and the four dukes, and is on par with the Yuan family who cut the land and dominates Jizhou. However, the Yang family has quickly reined in its edge, except for his son Yang Xiu, who is famous under Ma Chao, Yang Biao did not accept Ma Chao's offer, but came to Xuchang, and his arrival, whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Xie, was full of brilliance.

Moreover, Yang Biao is old and refined, and after living in a simple place, he has a good relationship with the Cao family and the Han family. With him, he can dilute the color of the royal family, make the Cao family blameless, and at the same time fully ensure the influence of the Han family.

I have to say that Yang Biao's move is quite wonderful. Xun Yu couldn't help but think that this national abbot must have prepared a draft before leaving. His Majesty was sick last night, and he threw out such a list this morning, and the quick reaction was really intriguing.

But how to say it. Maybe Xun Yu didn't know the phrase 'Sun Monkey can't jump out of Wuzhi Mountain', but at this time, he definitely had this feeling: Dong Cheng's small actions seem to be exquisite and perfect, but under the absolute control of the Cao family, what tricks can Dong Cheng play?

Therefore, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai both had noncommittal expressions. However, then Dong Cheng added another sentence: "The ancients had a saying: Miyagi Guo Ye, if the outside is not quiet, the inside is restless." In my opinion, I simply asked General Cao to participate and sort out the inside and outside of Xu Du, so it was a foolproof strategy. ”

The general Cao in Dong Cheng's mouth is naturally Cao Ren who guards Xuchang. It's just that Cao Ren, who was on the expedition at this time, how could he take on the responsibility of rectifying the forbidden city?

"General Cao's general Niu Jin and eldest son Cao Tai are both usable talents, and now they are guarding the Xuchang Forbidden Army and participating in it, which just complements other adults."

Xun Yu sighed when he heard this, went around in a circle, and now he finally saw the dagger, his intentions are still here.

Compared with the previous three ministers, Niu Jin and Cao Tai are too far apart in rank, and several people agree that the Cao family's status must be lower. In this way, in addition to the palace guards, even the Xu capital garrison must be included in the rectification, and the royal family can put their hands into the Xu Du order and use it to make some articles.

In the face of Dong Cheng's "kind" invitation, Xi Zhicai's face did not change, and he said calmly: "This matter is all based on Your Majesty's holy will." "Kick the ball calmly to Liu Xie. Liu Xie seemed to have no intention of political affairs, and asked a little embarrassed: "Xun Lingjun, what do you think about this?" ”

Xun Yu said: "What General Dong said is not inappropriate. It's just that the matter is big, and we must be cautious, so it's better to wait for Cao Sikong to come back and then make a decision. He thought to himself, this is obvious enough, you should stop in moderation.

Since the Han Emperor was stationed in Xuchang, all the authoritative decrees were issued out of the Cao Gong shogunate, and the imperial court was almost set aside. The old ministers of the royal family were helpless, so they liked to regard the court as the only bargaining chip in their hands, and were keen to fight for baht. Xu is the center of the Cao family, from top to bottom, do they really think that a few false titles in the imperial court can compete with Cao Gong? Xun Yu has been trying to stop these "smart" loyal ministers from doing stupid things, but they always don't understand.

However, at this time, Dong Cheng said again: "Cao Sikong is far away in Chenliu, and he is entangled in military affairs. The affairs of the imperial court, aren't all the things of Lord Xun appointed, how can there be worries? ”

There was a bit of ridicule in these words, Xun Yu listened, and a wry smile of pity appeared between his eyebrows. Although Dong Cheng's proposal is absurd, it has a high-sounding excuse, which is not easy to reject for a while.

Just as Xun Yu was thinking about how to turn around, he heard Liu Xie say again: "Since this is the case, then let's do it according to General Dong's wishes." General Dong was worried about my safety, and I was not very happy. Come on, give General Dong a jade belt and ten pearls to show his heart. ”

Dong Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him. Xun Yu was named by the emperor, so he had to kneel down and obey the order. Only when Xi Zhi saw that the yellow gate gave Dong Chengyu belt, he glanced at Dong Chenghe jade belt meaningfully. That kind of eye, Xi Zhicai is very familiar, and he feels that he seems to have grasped why Liu Xie, who has always been wise and moderate, is so confused today.

After the goal was achieved, Dong Cheng was a little proud, and he turned his neck a few times, as if he had just won a battle. And Cao Jie flicked Liu Xie's back lightly, and Liu Xie suddenly coughed a few times as if he remembered something: "General Dong, don't let me live up to my instructions to you." ”

This ordinary sentence had a wonderful reaction in Dong Cheng. He replied in a loud voice, "Ministers should repay Your Majesty's grace." The whole person supported the ground with both hands, like a crouching tiger, and his whole body was filled with a warm atmosphere.

At this time, anyone could hear that this General Dong's words were a little too heavy, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at Dong Cheng from behind with interest, and the same thought flashed in their hearts.

After a few more pleasantries, the meeting ended. After these courtiers left the palace, Cao Jie put down the bead curtain and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, how did you hide from Doctor Hua?" ”

At this time, Liu Xie smiled slightly and took out something from under his armpit. Cao Jie took a closer look, it turned out to be a potato commonly eaten in Yongzhou, and he couldn't help but be puzzled, but Liu Xie explained: "Put this thing under the armpit, squeeze the armpit, and the pulse is naturally intermittent, undulating and ........unstable."

"And the blood?"

"That thing is called ketchup."

"I see."

"No, Hua Tuo did it on purpose. I heard that this trick has been used by the old fox Jia Xu a long time ago in Chang'an. ”

"What?!" Cao Jie's face was pale when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Then Your Majesty thinks that Ma Chao has already participated in our plan?" ”

"There is a good chance ........" Liu Xie sighed, facing Ma Chao and Cao Cao, who were growing stronger and stronger, he felt a little exhausted for the first time. However, after thinking of his big strategy, he still smiled: "Ma Chao, Cao Cao, you will never think that my ultimate goal will be like that." ”

And it was at this time that Dong Cheng, who left Sanssouci Palace, saw that Dong Lin was already waiting for him at the door. The two of them said goodbye to Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai and boarded the carriage. Before Dong Chenglin got into the car, he instructed his henchmen who followed the carriage: "Go and invite the lieutenant and General Wang, I have a birthday today, and invite them to come over for a while." ”

The henchman took the order and left. Dong Linqi, who was in the same car, said: "Father, isn't your birthday August?" At this time, it was the end of September......" Dong Cheng glanced at his daughter, smiled slightly, but was noncommittal. In his hand, he tightly pinched the jade belt that Liu Xie gave him just now, and his eyes gradually became resolute.
