The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 396 Death of Empress Fu

However, when Cao Cao saw that Zhang Wu had made the world's aristocratic families join him by printing the book, he was naturally unwilling and angry, but he couldn't explain it.Although Cao Cao has been vigorously promoting and reusing poor families and suppressing wealthy families, he also knows that to achieve great things, he still needs the support of powerful families.

Cao Cao once issued an order to seek talents, and also wanted to break the monopoly of the aristocratic family on the officialdom, but it didn't have much effect, because he didn't realize that the reason why the aristocratic family monopolized the officialdom was ultimately because the aristocratic family monopolized knowledge.Poor families or ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to receive a complete education, so it is difficult for poor families to produce noble children.

However, Cao Cao did have many talented people from poor families, and some of them held high positions, such as Guo Jia, Yu Jin, Le Jin, etc., but the most were people from aristocratic families like Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, and Zhong Yao.When Cao Cao was alive, he could still leave a way for the poor and suppress the erosion of officialdom by the rich and powerful families, but after Cao Cao died, Cao Pi no longer had that ability.

Cao Cao had nothing to do with Zhang Wu, so he often vented his anger on the emperor Liu Xie. The person Cao Cao hates most now is Liu Bei besides Zhang Wu, and then Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, the so-called clan princes of the Han Dynasty.If these people had surrendered to him back then, there would be no such thing as Zhang Wu now, since he would have ruled the world long ago.

On this day, Cao Cao entered the palace with a sword, and the emperor was sitting with Empress Fu. When Empress Fu saw Cao Cao coming, she stood up in fright.

The emperor Liu Xie was also terrified when he saw Cao Cao coming. He had been punished by Cao Cao all these years, and the emperor was not as good as a rich man.

Cao Cao said: "Nowadays, the whole world is subject to it, but Zhang Wu dominates one side and disrespects the imperial court. What should we do?"

What else can Liu Xie say, now that he doesn't even count on his own life, how dare he express his opinion, so he said: "It's all in the court of Wei Gong."

Cao Cao said angrily: "Your Majesty, why did you say that? If outsiders hear about it, they will only say that I am a bully!"

The emperor is helpless, what the hell do you want me to say?I said that I am willing to personally lead the army to conquer Zhang Wu, will you let me or not?I said that Zhang Wu was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but you are a treacherous minister who bullies the emperor. Will you kill me?

Liu Xie finally became impatient and didn't want to be played by Cao Cao anymore. He said: "It would be my luck if you are willing to help me. If not, I hope the Prime Minister will show mercy and let me go!"

After Cao Cao heard this, he glared at the emperor. He was really daring to say such a thing. After all these years, he still hasn't been trained well!

you want to go?Where do you want to go?

If it wasn't for me back then, you would have been killed by Li Jue long ago. If it wasn't for my conquests all these years, do you think the Great Han Dynasty would still exist?Yuan Shu has long dared to claim the title of emperor. If I had been defeated by Yuan Shao, do you know what would happen to me?

Although Cao Cao was angry, he didn't want to kill Liu Xie yet, because he was not ready yet, there were still factors of instability inside, and there was Zhang Wu, the great enemy outside.If he usurps the throne at this time, it may cause turmoil. If Zhang Wu seizes the opportunity to send troops to fight over, the consequences may be very serious.

So Cao Cao glared at the emperor and the queen several times with hatred.

After Cao Cao left, the people standing around the emperor said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Duke Wei wants to become king on his own. Soon Duke Wei will usurp the throne!"

Liu Xie has long believed that Cao Cao will usurp the throne. I heard that Cao Cao wanted to be king last time, but it was postponed because of Xun You's death. But recently, some people have started to promote Cao Cao's achievements. It seems that Cao Cao can't wait anymore!
The emperor and the queen had no choice but to hug each other and cry bitterly.

Empress Fu said: "Your Majesty, my concubine's father always has the intention of killing Cao Cao after Fu Fu. I am writing a book now, so that someone can send it to my concubine's father secretly, in order to plot Cao's thief."

Liu Xie was a little worried, because not only did Dong Cheng and his family die in the incident of wearing clothes last time, but even the pregnant concubine Dong Gui was executed by Cao Cao. At that time, Liu Xie was terrified.If you do it again, what if you don't succeed?

"In the past, Dong Cheng's plans were not kept secret, but he suffered a catastrophe. If it is leaked again this time, I and you will be divorced!"

Empress Fu said: "Under the oppression of Cao Cao, you and I are on pins and needles every day. It is better to die than live like this!"

So, under the persuasion of Queen Fu, the emperor Liu Xie agreed to this matter.Empress Fu wrote a letter and handed it to the eunuch Mu Shun, asking him to sneak out of the palace, find Fu Wan, and discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.

After Mu Shun found Fu Wan, he gave him the letter written by Queen Fu.

Fu Wan believed that Cao Cao was powerful, had many confidants, and controlled the army. Their strength was not enough to deal with Cao Cao, unless he contacted Liu Bei, the emperor's uncle in Jingzhou, and Zhang Wu, the chariot general, and asked them to attack Cao Cao outside. When the soldiers go out to fight, contact some loyal ministers to make troubles together.

By the way, Mu asked Fu Wan to return a letter to Empress Fu, hid it in her hair, and returned to the palace.

However, Cao Cao's eyeliner was placed everywhere inside and outside the palace, and even the imperial guards were in Cao Cao's hands. Mu Shunqian was discovered and reported to Cao Cao shortly after he left the palace.

When Mu Shun went back, Cao Cao blocked the door. Cao Cao ordered a body search, and finally found the letter hidden in his hair.

This Mu Shun and Fu Wan are also two idiots, why did you write a letter on such a dangerous and confidential matter?Why don't you go back and tell the emperor if you have something to do?If the emperor doesn't believe it or is hesitant, then finish the calculation as soon as possible. This kind of thing that loses the heads of the whole family must be done like a play.

Cao Cao searched out Fu Wan's reply letter to Empress Fu, and was furious. Up to now, there are still people who are not afraid of death, and even try to murder me?Also colluded with Liu Bei and Zhang Wu!

Later, while ordering Mu Shun to be severely tortured, Cao Cao sent troops to surround Fu Wan's house, captured all of Fu Wan's family, and searched for the letter written by Empress Fu.

I have to say that this Fu Wan is also top quality, what the hell are you still doing with that letter?This is not an imperial decree to make you a high official!

Now all the stolen goods were obtained, Cao Cao directly sent troops to break into the palace, took away Empress Fu's seal, and wanted to execute Empress Fu.

Empress Fu also showed that she was not afraid of death when she was plotting, but this time when the matter was exposed, she begged for mercy again, holding the emperor and crying, "Can't you save my life?"

The emperor said: "I don't even know if I can save my own life!"

Cao Cao scolded: "I treat you with sincerity, but you want to harm me instead. If I don't kill you, you will kill me!"

Afterwards, Cao Cao ordered Empress Fu to be beaten to death with sticks, and all the two princes born to Empress Fu were poisoned to death. That night, more than [-] families of Fu Wan, Mu Shun and others were beheaded.

People in the government and the opposition are all horrified.

Cao Cao killed Empress Fu and asked the emperor to make his daughter Cao Guiren the empress of the palace. Liu Xie did not dare to disobey, so he had to obey.
