Chapter 238 Relying on the Son of Heaven

Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and the heroes of the north were defeated one after another. With Jizhou and Youzhou all falling under the control of the Taiping Army, Xiao Lan finally directed his troops to Bingzhou!
On the Chang'an side, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Han Sui, Gao Lan, Zhang He, and Wenpin led 20 troops, which was awe-inspiring. On the Youzhou side, Chen Dao, Xu Chu, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Tai led 20 troops, echoing from east to west. , and Xiao Lan led Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other 30 troops, advancing directly in the middle, and overwhelmingly suppressing the situation!
When Cao Cao received the news, although he didn't change his color on the surface, deep down in his heart, there were boundless turbulent waves.Although he not only reorganized the 30 army during this period, but also got top generals such as Ma Chao and Pound to join him, but facing the pressure of the 70 Taiping Army from three sides, he already felt extremely overwhelmed.

It stands to reason that this should have been the time when the Han Dynasty united to resist the Taiping Army, but some people were just dishonest. At this time, they did not forget to fight for power and profit, which made Cao Cao very angry. Therefore, before meeting the Taiping Army, He decided to clean up the court officials.

"Your Majesty is here, all officials welcome you!" Early the next morning, when all the officials were meeting, with a call from the head of the hall, Emperor Xian Liu Xie slowly walked out of the back hall, glanced at the position of the head of the military officials, and suddenly looked at him. Cao Cao who was standing there raised his head and looked at him with complicated eyes.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors, yet another rebellious ministers and traitors!" With a cold snort in his heart, Liu Xie Nai sat on Longyu, raised his hand and called out, "Everyone loves you!

The court officials got up, looked at Cao Cao who had not moved in surprise, and looked at each other, all of them had a premonition that something big might happen today.

"If you have something to do, go out and play early, and if you have nothing to do, roll the curtain and retreat!" The official at the head of the hall called out, resounding through the hall, and at this moment, there was only a response from the hall, followed by:

"The minister has his own play!" Cheng Yu stood up and shouted loudly among all the officials.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help being stunned. Although he is the emperor, he doesn't have much power in his hands. Often Cao Cao just tells him what is going on, and he has never played in front of the audience like today. , at the moment, he frowned, raised his hand and asked, "What's the matter with Aiqing? Just go ahead and play."

"I want to impeach one person!" Cheng Yu took out a memorial from his bosom, sneered and glanced at the fearful court officials around him, before shouting loudly: "I want to impeach Wei Wei for the crime of finishing his studies!"

Hearing this, all the officials couldn't help being in an uproar, and after Fu Wan was covered in cold sweat, he fell to the ground in shock, his face full of fear.

"Impeach Fu Aiqing?" Liu Xie's heart trembled suddenly. He glanced at Cao Cao, but saw that Cao Cao was closing his eyes slightly, unmoved by the outside world. But how could Liu Xie not understand, if it wasn't for Cao Cao made the envoy and agreed, how dare Cheng Yu act like this?Even the ministers in the court knew this at a glance.

During this period of time, they continued to act in private in an attempt to consolidate the imperial power, subdue Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and seize the real power of Bingzhou. After all, Cao Cao was ready to fight back.

"Exactly!" Cheng Yu shouted in a deep voice, "This man has been appointed as a guard and has made no achievements. He is a vegetarian. Isn't this a crime of dereliction of duty? The old minister wants to impeach him!"

Liu Xie frowned, glanced at Fu Wan who was in a daze, hesitated for a while, and then asked with a bit of teasing, "Fu Aiqing, is there such a thing?"

When Fu Wan heard the question from Emperor Xian, he suddenly woke up like a dream, and hurriedly got up to go out, kowtowed repeatedly, and couldn't help shouting: "I am wronged! I am wronged!"

"Huh?" At this moment, Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Master Fuwan, are you sure you are really unjust?"

Hearing Cao Cao's words at first, he couldn't help trembling after he fell down, his words froze, and when Cao Cao's eyes glanced at him again, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Unable to hide, he was silent for a few breaths, and said sadly: "I am guilty."

In the main hall, the officials were relatively silent for a while, but facing Cao Cao who controlled the entire Bingzhou with an army of 30, how dare they have any objection!
"Fu Aiqing!" Liu Xie naturally knew that Fu Wan was wronged by Cheng Yu. This was obviously Cao Cao's attempt to completely take away his last bit of power. If he lost this time, he would really lose everything. He immediately shouted in a hurry: "Fu Aiqing, is this really the case?"

It's a pity that even though Liu Xie hinted in every possible way, he didn't dare to agree after Fu Wan. He just kowtowed and kept saying, "I'm guilty, please punish me severely! I'm guilty!"

Seeing that Fu Wan, as an important minister of the court, is so cowardly, he has no courage at all!Liu Xie couldn't help being angry for a while, but he couldn't argue with it, and he couldn't help but shouted, "If that's the case! Someone, take him down!"

"No!" Immediately, two guards walked in from outside the hall, one on the left and the other on the right took him away, and from the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word other than pleading guilty.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Dong Cheng, the patriarch of the state, wanted to keep Liu Xie's last sliver of power, and immediately stepped forward to defend Fu Wan, "The old minister knows that Lord Fu is a man, but he is cautious and respectful. Absolutely not like this, I hope His Majesty will find out clearly, and confess your lord's innocence."

"Guo Zhang!" Before Dong Cheng could finish his words, Cheng Yu immediately interrupted him with a loud shout, and then said with a cold smile, "You must be careful when you speak like this! , are you accusing me, Cheng Zhongde, of framing my colleagues?!"

Looking at Cheng Yu with anger on his face, Dong Cheng couldn't hold back his anger for a moment, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "You not only framed your colleagues, but you also have no emperor."

"Guo Zhang!" Another loud shout interrupted Dong Cheng's words again, but seeing Cao Cao sweeping all the officials around, he shouted to Dong Cheng again, "If the Guo Zhang has no proof, then say so , then Cao Mou will impeach you for grandstanding and defiance of the emperor!"

Hearing this, all the officials in the palace fell silent. If it was Cheng Yu, they would dare to refute a few words, but when facing Cao Cao, they dare not show the slightest objection.

"You" Dong Cheng wanted to retort, but seeing Cao Cao's murderous eyes, he was so frightened that he was speechless for a moment.

Cao Cao said coldly: "Is there nothing else to say? It seems that the head of the country is well aware of Fu Wan's matter, so deliberately covering up, it shows that there is something wrong with him, and I hope His Majesty will punish him!"

"This" Hearing this, Liu Xie's face suddenly became even uglier, but when he saw Cao Cao glaring at him, he immediately felt like he had seen the Dong Zhuo of the past. For a moment, he didn't dare to have other ideas, so he had to follow Cao Cao's instructions. Meaning: "Dong Cheng vainly tried to cover up the guilty minister Fu Wan, he should be punished, but he thought he was the head of the state, so he was punished to go back to the mansion and contemplate behind closed doors for three months."

Hearing this, Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel ashamed, but since Emperor Xian had already spoken, he had no choice but to respond: "The guilty minister accepts the order!"

"Hurry up and send Master Zhang back to the mansion!" Cao Cao sneered, and immediately summoned two guards, and said indifferently: "Remember, Your Majesty has an order. Dong Cheng's vain attempt to cover up the guilty minister should be punished. He went back to the mansion and thought about it behind closed doors for three months, and within three months, he was not allowed to step out of the house!"

"Promise!" The Imperial City Imperial Guards were originally under Cao Cao's command. Now that Cao Cao issued the order, they naturally dared not neglect. They quickly responded loudly, one left and one right, set up Dong Cheng, and walked towards the outside of the hall. .

Seeing that Dong Cheng just said a word for Fu Wan and ended up like this, all the officials in the hall fell silent for a moment, not daring to make any more noise.

Emperor Xian Liu Xie looked around and saw that none of the officials in the palace dared to fight against Cao Cao. He couldn't help being filled with resentment at the moment, but he also knew that there was nothing to be done at this time, so he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. Asked: "Is there anything else you love to play?"

All officials in the court looked at each other, but no one made a sound!

Looking at these mediocre court officials, Liu Xie was extremely disappointed. He got up and waved his sleeves, said "Back to the court", and then turned around and left. None of the officials in the palace dared to move until Cao Cao yelled loudly. After laughing and leaving, they breathed a sigh of relief just now, the hall was full of hisses and exhalations
