The three assassinations were all instigated by Li Ru.

The first time was the day of Dong Zhuo's death, there were many desperadoes who dared to kill the king for a full meal.

After that, Li Ru hadn't found a chance for many years. Cao Cao took Liu Xie very seriously. He was afraid that even if he turned into a mosquito, he would not be able to bite Liu Xie. Although Cao Cao sent Liu Xie away, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao both knew Li Ru. , Li Ru did not dare to take risks.

The second time, when Cao Cao surrounded Xiangyang, Li Ru knew that Liu Xie had really escaped from Cao Cao's palm. Li Ru heard that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu had gone to Cao Jun. The two had a little friendship in the past, so Li Ru quietly chased him away. Seeing how miserable he was, Zhang Xiu reluctantly took him in.

Li Ru assured Jia Xu that he would never cause any trouble, just to have enough to eat and a place to live in. Jia Xu was a good man and believed him.

The situation reversed, Liu Xie used Cao Pi to eat Cao Jun, Li Ru was so angry that his teeth bleed, so he lied to Zhang Xiu that as long as he assassinated Liu Xie at the Lantern Festival dinner, he could make a great contribution in front of Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu believed it was true .

Although Jia Xu sensed that something was wrong, she even ran outside the Jiangling prefecture, trying to bring Zhang Xiu back, but by then it was too late.

Jia Xu was afraid of things and didn't dare to wait until the incident happened, so he ran away in a hurry that night. Li Ru didn't know Jia Xu's whereabouts, and then deliberately led Liu Ye's people to Yanzhou, trying to drive Liu Xie and Cao Cao apart, but failed.

Seeing that Liu Xie is firmly on the throne and the state affairs are flourishing, compared with his own bleakness, the hatred has penetrated into the bones of Li Ru, so he did not hesitate to take risks and hide in Xudu, waiting for the opportunity.

Hearing that Li Ru saved up all the meager income he earned on behalf of others to buy killers, Liu Xie was speechless for a while.

It turned out that he would be hated to such an extent.

After the confession was questioned, it was handed over to Liu Ye. Except that Li Ru was still in the prison, the assassination incident was settled.

This day, Cao Pi didn't wait outside the palace. When Liu Xie asked, he said he was going to the prison. Liu Xie got on the chariot and told him to go to the prison.

Outside the door, a group of jailers were standing outside, and when they saw Liu Xie, they knelt on the ground.

Cao Pi only brought Cao Chun inside, and Liu Xie was curious, so he asked Lu Xun to wait outside, and went in by himself.

There was a strong stench in the torture cell, and Li Ru was hanged from the beam half dead.

After Cao Chun finished writing the last stroke, he walked out of the prison cell with the bamboo slips and came to Cao Pi: "Young Master, they are all here."

Cao Pi took it and looked at it, and suddenly heard the crisp knocking sound of jade beads, his expression changed, and he threw the bamboo slip into the brazier.

Liu Xie turned the corner, tilted his head and looked towards the cells, and just saw: "Zihuan? What is that?"

Cao Pi smirked honestly: "Dirty things that are stained with dirt, I will ask Cao Chun to write them again."

After clapping his hands, Cao Pi walked up the stairs and said, "Why are you here? It stinks so much, get out!"

Liu Xiechi questioned, "Is Li Ru still alive?"

Cao Pi nodded, lifted up the long sleeves of the mianfu, and walked out holding Liu Xie's hand:

"This place is filthy and full of bad luck. Uncle and come here for nothing."

Liu Xie said with a smile: "I am full of auspiciousness, which can drive away bad luck. You said that it seems that I will get sick as soon as I go in."

Cao Pi said: "What do you do in such a place to drive away the darkness? If the officials outside know that you are always running to the prison, do you want to be read? My ears are callused."

Liu Xiehou pouted in fear, walked into the hall, and suddenly asked: "Is the matter recorded on the slip you burned related to the young emperor?"

Cao Pi's hands tightened and he couldn't pretend anymore.

Some things are buried forever, and it is better if they are never known.

For example, Shaodi.

Although his death left an indelible scar on Liu Xie, it was a thing of the past after all.

To put it more bluntly, being killed by poison is not a terrible tragedy among those who will not die in the royal family. For example, Lu Zhi once starved to death the little emperor who refused to obey her control. The Han Dynasty ruled the world for 400 years. But I don't know how many clans surnamed Liu died...

Cao Pi was born in a family of officials, so he naturally knew it, but he didn't expect that what Li Ru asked would be like this——

I haven't figured out a countermeasure yet, I just want to hide it from Liu Xie first, and then kill Li Ru with a heavy hand. Unexpectedly, Liu Xie suddenly ran to the prison and was seen by him to burn the confession.

Cao Pi had no choice but to hug Liu Xie and said, "Bohe, listen to me...be sure to calm down..."

After attracting Liu Xie's attention, he turned slightly sideways and winked at Cao Chun who followed behind - kill Li Ru!

Cao Chun was tall and big, Liu Xie heard the footsteps, and said calmly: "Cao Chun, go out and stand."

Cao Chun was caught in a dilemma, and Cao Pi saw that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he had no choice but to nod, allowing Cao Chun to stand outside.

Liu Xie pushed Cao Pi away and said, "Zi Huan, if your eldest brother has something to do, don't you want to know? Don't worry, I know what kind of person Dong Zhuo is, no one knows better than me."

If you want to talk about acting skills, Liu Xie, who is much older than Cao Pi, is naturally much better. He said something vaguely. Cao Pi has just heard Li Ru's confession, and his heart is full, and he can't get rid of it. , I didn't have time to think calmly when I thought of an idea, and I was deceived by Liu Xie.

"Then... I can say..."

Liu Xie nodded.

Cao Pi said: "Li Ru said that Dong Zhuo ordered someone to make a glass of wine just for the young emperor. After drinking it, he would vomit blood and faint. He looked like he was dead, but in fact he was still alive..."

So Li Ru was sent to drink to prevent being discovered by others.

Liu Xie blinked and listened without moving. The crown shook very lightly and barely made a sound. Liu Bian in his heart was a back view, running recklessly and briskly, laughing high and low in Changle Palace and falling into the sun. in the corridor.

"... Li Ru replaced the young emperor with another corpse, sealed the coffin and buried him, and sent the young emperor to Heyin County outside Luoyang City, where he was detained in a private house. After that, Dong Zhuo often went to Heyin... When he moved west to Chang'an, Bo And fleeing, Dong Zhuo once wanted to let the young emperor inherit the throne again. Lu Bu took you back in time, so Dong Zhuo gave up. Later, he built Meiwu and hid the young emperor there. Killed, and set fire to the body."

In order to appear majestic in front of Liu Xie, Liu Bian would often do some very erroneous things, such as walking barefoot on the railing of a cloud platform more than ten feet high, and when the two brothers separated, they would immediately sway their legs in fear, It's hard to talk...

Not poisoned--

On that festival of offering sacrifices, Liu Bian was still alive in Meiwu not far from the Weishui River.

Liu Xie didn't know it at the time, but it took more than ten years to find out.

What is your brother like?No matter what Liu Xie thinks, Liu Bian is only 15 years old in his heart.

After not seeing Liu Xie for a long time, Cao Pi worried: "Bohe?"

Liu Xie looked normal, and asked, "Li Ru left Chang'an before Dong Zhuo died, how did he know what happened next?"

Cao Pi said: "While Li Ru was looking for someone to assassinate, he took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into Meiwu, intending to welcome the young emperor back and force you to step aside."

Liu Xie believed what Cao Pi said without hesitation.

If Liu Bian was taken back at that time, Liu Xie would have to give up the throne to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian is the eldest son of Emperor Ling, born of the empress of Zhenggong. Regardless of Empress He's background, Liu Bian is indeed the first heir to the throne.

Moreover, Liu Xie was replaced by Dong Zhuo arbitrarily forcing the palace to change the emperor, which is another level of humiliation in name.

It is reasonable for Li Ru to want to revenge Liu Xie in this way.

For three full years, Liu Bian was imprisoned by Dong Zhuo...For three years, Liu Xie felt that he couldn't breathe.

Cao Pi asked again: "Bohe?"

Liu Xie shook his head, and reached out to pull out the sword hanging from Cao Pi's waist. He had never used a sword before, and his movements were not very coordinated. He pulled it out twice, and took a step back before pulling it out.

Cao Pi didn't stop him, and let him walk in with the sword step by step, and followed silently.

Torture instruments are used to frighten people. It really hates a person to the point of desperation. Keeping him alive is like digging a hole in his heart. Every time he thinks that the person is still alive, he feels like digging again. It is bloody and painful. .

Dong Zhuo was already dead, no matter how much Liu Xie hated him, there was nothing he could do about it. This time, he couldn't hold Li Ru any longer. He walked into the cell, clumsily clenched the hilt of his sword with both hands, and pointed at Li Ru one by one. The sword pierced through.

Li Ru fell into a semi-comatose state, and died with only a weak scream.

Liu Xie pushed hard on the hilt of the sword until it couldn't be pushed before pulling it out.

Blood spurted out and splashed onto his sleeves and knees, Liu Xie couldn't care less, he clenched his teeth and pierced it again.

In this way, with one sword and one sword, Li Ru's body was almost cut into two parts. Cao Pi couldn't stand it, and dragged Liu Xie away, and Liu Xie gave up.

With a clang, the blood-stained sword fell to the ground, splashing out new blood spots.

Liu Xie's hands were already dripping with blood. After he put down the hilt of his sword, he shivered violently, his jaw loosened, and he burst into tears.

Cao Pi hurriedly hugged Liu Xie tightly, but Liu Xie wore a crown on his head, separating the two of them with a helpless distance.

Cao Pi paused for a breath, pulled the red tassel under Liu Xie's chin, pulled out the hairpin, and took off the crown, allowing Liu Xie to bury his entire face in his arms.

Which emperor does not need to face such cruel things?How lucky Liu Xie was to be able to receive his embrace. He was hurt and hurt, and only Cao Pi dared to embrace him across the gap—under equal circumstances.

In the summer of this year, Liu Xie granted Cao Pi the title of Marquis of Yicheng, worshiped General Zhenbei, and commanded [-] troops to guard Shanggu.

The country has not yet been settled, and it is absolutely impossible to bluntly send troops to attack other countries, but if it is just to sit in one side, the ministers have no reason to object, and what to do when they go to the local area is Cao Pi's own business.

In fact, everyone knows that even if Cao Cao and Cao Pi have not yet reconciled, they are father and son after all. Liu Xie's original intention, how can anyone dare to question it?

On the day Cao Pi left Xudu, Liu Xie didn't go out of the palace to see him off, but buried himself in the government affairs, busy in the dark.

Cao Pi knelt outside the gate of Cao Mansion for two hours, and went out of the city with [-] soldiers waiting outside the city to go north.

In July, Zhuge Liang recommended Pang Tong. After Liu Xie met Pang Tong, he transferred Pang Tong to Jizhou to serve in two days.

Pang Tong was not on the road alone. Liu Bei had a heart and sent Guan Yu to Liu Xie to "order". Liu Xie agreed and ordered Wei Yan, Dian Wei, and Sima Yi to go to Cao Pi together.

In addition to Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang, etc. brought by Cao Pi, it is enough.

Of course, Cao Jun’s Tiger and Leopard Camp will not be missed. Except for the Tiger and Leopard Camp, Liu Xie opened the back door to take care of his lover, and Ren Cao Pi picked out the [-] troops from the existing army of one million in the court. He desperately wanted to go out and fight.

With this elite team, before the Shangyuan Festival next year, Cao Pi has already taken over Xianbei in the east, and his troops have passed through Zuo Leshui, approaching the big river called Songhua River in later generations.

Liu Xie was annoyed by Lu Bu for more than half a year, and finally nodded to let Lu Bu pass.

In another year, the south of Yanran Mountain will be returned to the Han land, and the No. 14 state "Mengzhou" will be newly built.

Cao Pi became the Marquis of Wuwei, increased the number of households in the city by [-], and changed the town to Liangzhou. Liu Xie granted Cao Pi permission not to go to Beijing to worship, but to go directly to his post.
