Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 814 The Emperor is dead!

Among the four kingdoms of the Central Plains, if the imperial palace is said to be majestic, it must be that of Wei. Let’s not mention Luoyang, the eastern capital. After all, Luoyang is located among the four kingdoms and cannot be the capital.

Chang'an is the largest city after Luoyang.

Under the dark night, the lights in the Weiyang Palace were brightly lit. Cao Mao looked at the huge Kantu map in the palace and was lost in thought. The land of Wei State has been doing this since he ascended the throne, and it has not increased at all until now.

Emperor Wu was an entrepreneurial monarch, and Emperor Wen was a conservative monarch. They both had pioneering achievements. Even the traitor Sima Yi conquered Yizhou for Wei. However, in the years since he ascended the throne, he has not only failed to develop, but Hedong is also about to be conquered. Lost it.

He muttered to himself slightly: "The east of the river is rotten, and the blood of Wei will be shed here. It won't work if we don't change the system, and we won't change the law. Cao Lin, Cao Lin, if you are sensible, just hand over power obediently, I will let you You are glorious and rich.”

There are signs that something is wrong between the emperor and the general. Anyone with a sensitive sense of smell can smell it out, especially those nobles who are extremely sensitive to politics. The political situation in Wei has returned to the political struggle they like to see.

As soon as the emperor wanted to activate the gentry, some gentry began to move closer to the emperor. Although these gentry had lost power for a long time, they were famous at home, and reputation was the capital of being an official, especially since the gentry only lost power in the central government. Power is still intertwined in the local area. Once these people become prominent, they are not rootless.

On the third day after Cao Lin met with Cao Mao, a decree dropped from the ban on Shangshu Province, igniting the entire Wei Kingdom. The content of the decree was roughly as follows -

"I once read history books and knew that King Su reused the clan surnamed Ji, so he was able to stabilize the Zhou Dynasty. Although I am smaller and despicable than King Su, I am still willing to follow King Su's principles, so I reused the clan members, and the Wei Kingdom To prosper.

I heard that King Su not only reused the clan members surnamed Ji, but also sought wise men from all over the world. When he heard that wise men were coming, he didn’t even have time to swallow his food, so he hurried to meet the wise men. Every time I read it, I just thought Jue, with a saint like King Su, is it an accident that Bangzhou has lived for thousands of years?

I want to imitate King Su and not only reuse my clan members, but also appoint wise men in the world to make the Wei Dynasty more prosperous.

I am thinking about what the Wei Dynasty relied on to seize the vast land now?

It is because of Emperor Wu's wisdom and martial arts, the ancestors of the Xiahou family and Cao family, and the assistance of Xun Lingjun and other famous people in the country. Now I only have the assistance of my relatives and relatives, so I cannot let the Wei Kingdom be unified.

The scholars of Wei State left Wei State and went to Guandong to find their Ming Dynasty master. The scholars of Wei State abandoned their ancestral land and went to the distant Guandong Province to seek a future. This is my fault.

I cannot appoint wise men, which leads to such a result. This is what I do not want to see, and this is what the Wei Dynasty cannot bear.

Now I want to change all this, so I issue this edict.

He ordered the governor to select local virtuous and upright people from various counties. Those who have talents but are lost in the wilderness, those who have lofty reputations but cannot be treated politely by the court, those who care about the country and the people but cannot serve the country. Those who share worries, these people, I am willing to give them a distinguished position. "

This order immediately aroused an uproar. In the distant Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued the most stringent party ban and did not allow scholars to serve as officials. However, this time, the emperor issued a decree to free the scholars. The decree allows the scholars to return to the court.

Since the Sima Yi disaster, this is the first time that the royal family has released such a clear signal in such a formal and large-scale manner.

Emperor Cao Mao directly issued an explicit edict, and his determination was evident. This was the real Jun Wuxi. If Cao Mao retracted this edict, the nobles would completely give up on him.

An emperor who changes his orders every day is not worthy of the loyalty of these nobles. They will wait for the next emperor to appear.

After Cao Mao's edict was issued, imperial envoys quickly went to various counties and counties, and the reactions of the scholars varied.

Many scholars began to come to Chang'an, especially those who urgently needed high-ranking officials to decorate their appearance, but there were also many people who were unwilling to come and wanted to live in seclusion.

Over the years since the founding of the Wei State, the constant political strife has made many people miserable and unwilling to step into this muddy water.

Scholars came in groups from various fields, calling their friends to see the emperor. This time Cao Mao's order to seek talents caused many great Confucian scholars to show up in Guanzhong, which was quite lively for a while.

Cao Mao excitedly listened to the report of his close ministers, clenched his fist and said: "As long as these scholars come to the court, I will have another force at my disposal. I can exclude the power of my relatives and relatives in many aspects and carry out the tasks myself." .

Why didn't I make up my mind until now? Damn Sima Yi, if he hadn't brought trouble to the Wei Dynasty, how could the Queen Mother have hindered me for so many years. "

It can only be said that blessings and misfortunes cannot be explained. Without Sima Yi, Cao Mao would not have become the emperor. However, with Sima Yi, the political trauma caused by Wei Guo has only now eased slightly.

This relaxation is not because Wei's political wounds have really been healed, but because Murong Ke has caused greater harm to Wei, forcing the emperor and the queen mother to forget the vague pain of the past.

The fastest people to enter Chang'an were naturally the old gentry from Guanzhong. These people returned to their hometowns. Now as soon as they received the imperial edict, they immediately went straight to Chang'an. Cao Mao immediately met these people.

The atmosphere in the General's Mansion in Chang'an City has been extremely solemn since the edict was issued. Even the servants have become extremely quiet when speaking, for fear of provoking some big shot. One can imagine the extremely depressive atmosphere in the mansion now. .

In the main hall, Cao Lin and his party members were sitting with a sullen face. They were the ones who had the greatest impact of this edict. These scholars must become officials when they enter the court, and they are also high officials. The official position must be obtained from them. Out of hand.

Even if it is not taken out of their hands, the imperial court only has so much power. Any adjustment of official positions is unacceptable to them. Since ancient times, many official positions have been gradually abandoned due to adjustments.

The Sangong and Jiuqing were so brilliant in the early Han Dynasty, but in the later Han Dynasty, they gradually declined with the emergence of the Shangshutai, and the loss of power was something Cao Lin could not tolerate.

"Tell me, what should we do now?"

Cao Lin's voice was quite dull. He looked at everyone, hoping to get a good response instead of a bunch of complaints against the emperor. He had heard too many of those words and no longer wanted to hear them.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other. In the confrontation between the ministers and the emperor, almost no ministers could win. This left them how to come up with ideas.

Cao Chengsi walked in from the outside, and everyone saluted Cao Chengsi. Cao Chengsi saluted Cao Lin and said: "Father, please don't embarrass everyone anymore. The emperor is the father of the king, and the ministers are born to be in the upper position. How can I have any ideas?" , as long as you still hold on to this idea, you can only be at the mercy of others.

The son knew that his father was a loyal minister, but the son hoped that his father would not be a foolishly loyal person. During the Han Dynasty, the princes of Jingnan raised troops to resist the Han Emperor. For the Han Emperor, it could be said that he was very disloyal, but he had Who can say that the princes of Jingnan are not loyal ministers?

My son already knows who is bewitching Your Majesty. We impeach these people and call on the righteous to kill these people. As long as we can kill all these traitors around His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty will naturally know that you are the only one who is the Great Wei. loyal ministers. "

Cao Lin couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this, and everyone else in the hall looked surprised.

Cao Lin knew that Cao Chengsi would say this, but he still hesitated and felt it was inappropriate, or in other words, he did not dare.

Once this matter fails, it will end in death and annihilation. The struggle between him and the emperor cannot reach the current level.

Jingnan princes.

Cao Lin naturally knew that he was far from being able to compare with the Jingnan princes.

Everyone under Cao Lin was shocked by Cao Chengsi's words. They all thought that this was what Cao Lin meant, but they did not expect that Cao Lin would have such a strong idea.

Some people immediately wanted to persuade Cao Lin, but some people seemed to open the door to a new world. It turns out that this can still be the case. Now our power is still very strong. Why can't we use strong power to achieve our goals?

"Chengsi, your idea is too radical. As a father, I think you should be more conservative."

Cao Chengsi smiled slightly and said: "Father, if you don't stop, you will be disturbed. My son knows that you will hesitate. My son also knows that you agree with your son in your heart, so your son has sent people out."

???

Cao Lin was dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't even speak. He was dumbfounded and said: "Chengsi, what did you say you sent people out for? What did you do?"

Cao Chengsi still had the same smiling expression, but to Cao Lin, he looked like an evil ghost urging death. Cao Chengsi said: "As you may think, those nobles have long been in contact with Liang Guo and Yan The state colluded and deliberately passed on the news, which caused the defeat of the Hedong army. When they were arrested, they resisted fiercely and tried to escape the sanctions of the laws of the Wei Dynasty. So you could only execute them on the spot, pierce their hearts with thousands of arrows, and then search them from the house. There is evidence of their collaboration with the enemy."

Quiet.

silence.

Deathly silence.

It is often said that a beautiful singing voice can linger for three days, but now it seems that the shocking words can also do the same. After Cao Chengsi said this, no one spoke in the entire hall, and only the sound of huffing and puffing could be heard. Everyone was stunned by Cao Chengsi.

Cao Lin's hands were trembling. He pointed at Cao Chengsi tremblingly, and after a long time he shouted in a low voice: "Don't you care about the life of the family at all? Don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and son. I can't protect this matter. you."

What Cao Lin said was to give up Cao Chengsi and throw him out to calm the anger of the nobles and the emperor.

Upon hearing this, Cao Chengsi saluted respectfully, without any fear, and said with the same calm expression: "Father, you are wrong. When things have come to this point, how can you still think of taking a step back? Do you think that if you throw me out, the nobles and the Emperor will let you go?

You occupy such a high position. Even if there is no such thing, how many people would want to kill you quickly?

Now that I have such a clue, killing you would be a great achievement. "

Cao Chengsi's words were so respectful, but they were full of slight sarcasm. Emperor Cao Mao's evaluation of Cao Lin was Cao Shuang, and Cao Chengsi's evaluation of his father was also Cao Shuang.

If Cao Lin hadn't been too indecisive, he wouldn't have made such a move. Now he wanted to force Cao Chengsi to do these things, and he wanted to force Cao Chengsi to go all the way.

Almost every word he said hit Cao Lin's heart hard. The most terrifying emotion in the world is suspicion. Once suspicion arises, there must be someone bleeding to stop it.

Cao Chengsi then induced Cao Lin to tell him that the bleeding person was none other than Cao Lin himself. This formed a perfect closed loop in Cao Lin's heart.

It has to be said that Cao Chengsi is really a genius at playing with people's hearts, but it is a pity that he is not very good at military affairs. Facing a military god like Murong Ke, a master of politics, just playing with people's hearts is not enough.

The reason why Cao Chengsi keeps forcing Cao Lin to do these things is very simple. He is an ambitious man. Ever since Cao Rui indulged in sensuality, the throne of the Cao family has not been passed down by a normal father and son. This makes Cao Chengsi Si saw an opportunity. As long as the opportunity was right, he might not be able to become king in the south.

The most important thing is that Cao Chengsi believes that he is the most outstanding one among the descendants of the current Emperor Wu. He believes that Cao Mao is not qualified to be the emperor of Wei. If he were Cao Mao, he would have killed the generals and others. The bottom is upside down.

Of course, Cao Lin didn't know these thoughts of Cao Chengsi. As a classic indecisive person, a person who has no independent opinions and is good at being guided, he was successfully forced to go to Liangshan by Cao Chengsi.

I had no choice but to become a pawn in Cao Chengsi's plan. I chose to go all the way with Cao Chengsi and started to mobilize the army to kill those scholars. This matter could not be solved. I could only directly mobilize the army and launch a coup. , first control the emperor.

Cao Chengsi did not show a proud smile, he still smiled confidently, but there was a sharp cold light in his eyes.

This is just the first step of his plan, and it is far from over.

No one would have thought that the general's counterattack would be so quick and so deadly. This was not something a normal person could do.

They got it right.

Cao Chengsi is a madman.

……

When the sun was about to set, a tragic scene ushered in Chang'an City. The scholars who came out of the palace returned to their residences, and then they were hunted and killed by the General's Mansion.

When those ferocious soldiers rushed in, the scholars could only ask in horror: "Who are you?"

Naturally, no one would answer. He rushed over and killed these people. There was no need to pretend at the scene. After all, no one would come to find out the real reason. From this moment on, this was no longer a political battle, but a life and death struggle. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

The chaos in the city quickly attracted the attention of the palace, and the palace immediately sealed all the doors and put on full vigilance. However, the general's palace was calculated deliberately and unintentionally, and the imperial guards loyal to the emperor had no chance to mobilize. Cao Lin Although the war in Hedong failed, he was qualified to mobilize large armies, and thousands of people were transferred into the city by him.

The power in Chang'an City has suddenly become unbalanced.

All these things happened in a blink of an eye. The emperor's power was certainly greater than that of Cao Lin, but the coup was never a competition between the absolute strength of both sides, but a surprise and an unprepared attack.

Cao Lin didn't know how many things Cao Chengsi had done, but he knew that there must be a lot. His son had been preparing for this day for a long time. His identity as a general gave Cao Chengsi a great cover.

The city of Chang'an has begun to fall into preliminary chaos, but everything is still under control. Almost all streets have been placed under martial law. These things have nothing to do with ordinary people.

The other dignitaries don't know what happened now. Suddenly there was chaos outside. This sudden situation was beyond everyone's expectation.

In the palace, Cao Mao was completely confused. He had no idea what was going on. He only knew that there was chaos outside, and then the palace immediately went on alert. Until now, he still doesn't know what happened outside the palace.

Cao Lin, Cao Chengsi and others are all sitting in the army, fully armed. Cao Lin still has a sad face. He is truly a top loser. He still can't make up his mind, relying on Cao Chengsi to push him step by step. .

Cao Chengsi wore a ghostly visor covering his entire face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, what we have to do now is to negotiate with the emperor.

Give the heads of these nobles to the emperor, and let the emperor issue an edict to tell the people of the world that these people are all traitors who have brought trouble to the imperial court. We are indeed on the side of the Qing emperor, otherwise the actions of our profession will not be revealed in the history of Qing Dynasty.

How can our righteous actions be demonstrated? "

These words made everyone in the military camp feel a little uncomfortable. Some people could indeed say it outside, but being so hypocritical in front of their own people really made people feel uncomfortable.

But everyone still agreed with Cao Chengsi's words. That's all that can be done now. We can't go directly into the palace and kill the emperor. Who dares to be charged with regicide? Come and carry it?

Unless Cao Mao can be beaten into a single husband, even if Cao Mao is not that kind of wise and powerful monarch, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a single husband. It is absolutely impossible for historians to violate the principles to record. Moreover, even if the historians of Wei have lost their integrity, but in addition Historians from several countries will also record this incident truthfully.

Therefore, regicide is absolutely not possible, and the side of the Qing monarch is the side of the Qing monarch, and killing the Dufu is killing the Dufu. These are two completely different political banners.

Cao Lin is a waste, but after all, he has been a general for so many years and after being taught step by step, he still knows what to do, so he immediately ordered: "Send these heads to the palace immediately and let people inform the emperor. We have killed the traitor, and now as long as His Majesty is willing to issue a decree to pardon our sins, everything will be over."

Cao Lin's envoy quickly arrived outside the palace wall, arranged all the heads of the nobles, sent them in, and then repeated Cao Lin's words.

The news spread to the palace, and Cao Mao finally knew what was happening now. His entire popularity was on the verge of crumbling, and he finally stabilized himself, but he still couldn't believe that Cao Lin would rebel.

Why did Cao Lin rebel before he did anything?

Since ancient times, there have been countless incidents where emperors have weakened the power of powerful ministers. Basically, the powerful ministers gave in on their own initiative. Cao Lin should have been mentally prepared. How could he dare to rebel? Did he really think that he could control Wei?

Does he think that by controlling himself today, he can make the world obey him? Are the nobles who are entrenched in the local area so easy to get along with?

Absolutely funny!

Looking at the dead heads, Cao Mao felt dizzy again. He had just met these people, some of whom he thought were more talented people, people who could be entrusted with important responsibilities, but now they were all It turned into a corpse and appeared in front of him.

"Go tell Cao Lin that I will never surrender to him. This world belongs to me, and I am the emperor of the Wei Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender to a minister, especially a rebellious minister."

Cao Mao's character has been very strong since he was a child, and he is still the same now. Faced with Cao Lin's coercion, he chose to be tough instead of being conciliatory.

When Cao Mao's words reached the military camp, they immediately caused an uproar. The emperor's reaction was beyond Cao Lin's expectation. He asked in disbelief: "Are these the emperor's original words?

I have such a large army here, even enough to attack the imperial city. Wouldn't your Majesty consider it?

I have tried my best to restrain the soldiers. If His Majesty the Emperor does not agree with my opinion, I really don’t know what will happen. "

Cao Lin was still talking nonsense here, but Cao Chengsi, who was wearing a mask, said directly: "Father, now, what else is worth thinking about?

Since Your Majesty is unwilling to issue an edict, there must be traitors by his side. These traitorous scholars have been killed by us. Now His Majesty must be surrounded by those eunuchs. These eunuchs destroyed the Qin Dynasty, and the Later Han Dynasty also perished because of the eunuchs. Now they have come to harm me, the Wei Dynasty, which is unbearable. Now I rush into the palace to protect His Majesty and eliminate the last traitors! "

Cao Chengsi's words were high-sounding, but what he said was frightening. Attacking the palace was something that no one dared to think about, but it sounded so normal when it came out of Cao Chengsi's mouth. As it should be, he could even be said to be upright and upright, as if he really wanted to eliminate the traitors around the emperor.

It has to be said that Cao Chengsi has reached the highest level of deceiving others, that is, he also deceived himself.

Cao Lin still wanted to hesitate, but Cao Chengsi urged him again. Cao Lin gritted his teeth and decided to do it, because he always felt that if he didn't make up his mind, his son would have to do it on his own.

"My fellow soldiers, because there are traitors around the emperor, the country is in crisis, so we gathered here to fight for the Wei Dynasty. Now we have killed the traitors, but the emperor has not issued a pardon for us. This must be because there are traitors around him.

Eunuchs have been immoral people since ancient times, have caused trouble to the government since ancient times, and have caused the destruction of the country since ancient times. Now they surround the emperor, causing the emperor's ears to be blinded and the emperor's eyes to be unable to distinguish between loyalty and traitor. , which led to the emperor not being able to pardon us and causing the emperor to do stupid wrong things.

Now we are attacking the palace, not because we are disrespectful to the emperor, but because we want to save the emperor from fire and water, and we want to pull the emperor out of the whirlpool of eunuchs and traitors.

Loyal ministers always have to experience more, and loyal and righteous men always have to bear more responsibilities. Just like us now, just like the Jingnan princes in the past, all soldiers, please move forward with all your strength. Let us gather together for the great Wei Dynasty. Let’s strive together for a bright future.

Entering the palace, this is the final battle, and a bright future will beckon to us. "

Cao Lin is indeed incompetent, but he still has a few skills in boosting morale. He has been able to get to where he is now step by step. His majestic appearance and eloquence that can fool people have definitely made great contributions.

Once these soldiers heard his declaration, their last worry disappeared and they completely believed that they were saving the emperor. From Cao Lin's point of view, this was not a mistake.

So far, he has never thought about regicide. He just wants to control the emperor. As for the future, he will talk about it later, but now he just wants to be a completely powerful minister, especially since he is a clan relative and has a different surname with the powerful minister. No, the clan won't object too much.

The inspired soldiers surged towards the imperial palace. The palace walls of the imperial city were not built for war and were impossible to withstand. They soon began to collapse. Cao Chengsi left the camp and went to work. Other preparations, now that things have happened, both sides have no way out.

In the palace, Cao Mao learned that Cao Lin had begun to attack the city, and his face instantly turned gray. Cao Lin was so decisive that it was unlike him. Cao Mao even thought that Cao Lin had been deceiving him in the past, and that he had long had evil intentions. .

Cao Mao's servants were in panic all day long. The banner of Cao Lin's army was "Qing Jun Side". He called them by name and said that the eunuchs around the emperor were all traitors. What did this mean? After Cao Lin's army rushed in, they People are bound to die.

"Your Majesty, this evil thief Cao Lin actually dares to attack the palace. He wants to rebel and become the emperor."

Now the only one who can save their lives is Cao Mao, but as everyone knows, Cao Mao himself is on the verge of collapse, let alone them.

Cao Mao listened to the shouts of killing coming from the distant palace wall. He carefully recalled every step he took, but he still couldn't find anything wrong. He didn't do anything. The only mistake was not killing Cao Lin directly.

But he never thought about killing Cao Lin, he just wanted to regain power.

"Is it because I have too much bottom line? But it has been like this for thousands of years. Why would Cao Lin rebel directly? Did he think I would kill him?"

This is a question that Cao Mao has always puzzled over. Why did Cao Lin rebel?

Not only could he not figure it out, but Cao Lin, who was currently rebelling, couldn't figure out why he would embark on the path of rebellion.

Is it because my son forced me to do it?

But if he was really a loyal minister, he would not have reached this point. After all, it was countless greed that caused all of this to happen.

The defense of the imperial city was crumbling. With the sound of rumbling, the gate of the palace opened instantly, and like a torrent of soldiers rushed into the palace, these people may be able to enter the palace only this time in their lives. The high palace walls and wide The corridor is solemn and solemn, but in this solemnity and solemnity are countless corpses lying on the ground and countless arrows stuck in the ground.

Cao Lin rode a horse and wore armor and walked into the palace. Looking at the familiar buildings, he was filled with emotion. He had been here countless times, but he never thought that one day he would lead an army to break through here. I never thought I would swing my sword at the owner of this palace.

Even if I think about it in my dream, I will wake up suddenly.

But it all happened today. He felt a person appear next to him. He was his son in a ghost mask. He said with emotion: "Chengsi, is this what you want?

Now that your wish has come true, it's time for us to meet the Emperor. "

Cao Chengsi didn't speak, just nodded, and the army continued to advance, killing those soldiers who were unwilling to surrender.

The palace tonight is bloody.

"The emperor is here, the emperor is here!"

Cao Lin was following the army forward when he suddenly heard the palace guards shouting loudly. In the brightly lit palace, Cao Mao stood on the emperor's chariot with a sword in his hand.

His figure is extremely tall and straight, with a heroic spirit, his eyes are wide open with anger, and his blood energy rushes out.

He appeared in front of the army with a rumbling sound. As soon as he appeared, he pointed at Cao Lin and said loudly: "Cao Lin, are you going to bloodbath the palace?

Who gave you the courage to rebel now and plunge the Wei Dynasty into civil strife? Are you worthy of your ancestors? "

Anyone could hear Cao Mao's angry voice clearly. The battlefield fell into silence for a while. The soldiers on both sides stared at the emperor. This was the monarch of Wei.

Cao Lin stepped down from his horse and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I know that you are being coerced by traitors, so what you say does not come from your heart. There must be a secret arrow aimed at you now. I all know it, and I will do it right now." Come to your rescue.

Look at these soldiers under my command. They are all loyal ministers of Your Majesty. They are all loyal and upright men of our great Wei Dynasty.

This time will definitely clear away some of the dark clouds that are entrenched in our great universe. "

It turns out that after hearing Cao Lin's words, the soldiers immediately understood that His Majesty had to say those words.

"Shameless!"

Cao Mao was going crazy with Cao Lin. He didn't expect that at this time, he could tell lies with his eyes open. The key was that the soldiers still believed him, which was what made him the most angry.

How does he know that people in this world are unwilling to admit their mistakes.

The same is true for the soldiers.

If the general is really wrong now, what will become of those who attacked the imperial city?

A person who helps the evildoer.

Of course they can't allow themselves to be the ones who help the tyrants to commit evil, then they can only be the generals. That's right. Cao Mao would have been able to react normally, but after the ups and downs, Cao Mao was stimulated several times in a short period of time, and his whole mind was already He was so groggy that it was impossible to think rationally, and now he was completely relying on anger.

The king must not be angry and raise an army!

Now Cao Mao was angry and launched an army. In his anger, he made a series of wrong responses, which ultimately led to the current result of riding a tiger with difficulty.

Naturally, Cao Lin did not dare to kill the emperor. He asked a dozen of his own soldiers to "protect" the emperor, not to let the emperor appear in front of everyone, not to fight with swords, and then killed him all the way to the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

After entering the palace, Cao Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He first killed all the eunuchs around the emperor, and then placed more than a dozen heads next to Cao Mao. The dozen or so soldiers beside Cao Mao were still there. "Protect" him.

Cao Lin's soldiers took over the defense of the palace, and the place was completely under his control, including the emperor's seal and tiger charms. With these, he could completely control the entire Chang'an City army.

After Cao Lin received these in his arms, he stepped forward and knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I came late and let these traitors threaten you for so long. This is my fault."

After being completely controlled by others, Cao Mao finally calmed down and felt a cold sweat. The situation suddenly became like this. He asked in a hoarse voice: "General, why do you want to clear the emperor? I have never treated you badly. I have never treated you badly." You are kind."

Cao Lin was also a little sad and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, why do you want to reuse the nobles? I don't understand this either."

In this situation, the monarch and his ministers could talk calmly. Cao Mao stared at Cao Lin and said: "You know the reason very well, because you can't defeat Murong Ke. If you don't use the gentry, my country Zuo of Wei will perish. It's in Cao Mao's hands."

Hearing Murong Ke's name, Cao Lin felt a dull pain in his chest, as if the injury from the arrow hadn't healed yet. He didn't know what to say to the emperor.

Because he really couldn't beat Murong Ke, he even felt scared when he heard Murong Ke's name.

When Cao Lin didn't speak, Cao Mao knew that Cao Lin was still the Cao Lin he knew. So what exactly happened today?

He deliberately asked in a deep voice: "General, do you want to kill me?"

Cao Lin's face changed greatly and he said anxiously: "Why would your Majesty think so? I am on the side of the Qing Emperor, not a regicide to seize the throne. I have never thought of killing you. You are the emperor, how can I do something to you?" "

Cao Mao felt relieved after hearing this. It turned out to be the Cao Lin he was familiar with. "General, I have never wanted to kill you. I just want you to take your title and senior officials to retire. I will not treat you badly." But I didn't expect you to do these things. Who asked you to do this? I believe you are not such a person. If you tell me, we can still get along well with each other in the future.

These eunuchs are just domestic slaves, not worth mentioning. As for the nobles, they are dead. There are many of them anyway. I don’t care. You are my clan and one of my own. "

Cao Mao was very interested in the people behind Cao Lin, but he didn't have to know. The main purpose of his words was to reassure Cao Lin and let Cao Lin know that he would not pursue him for the mutiny.

Even though Cao Lin has the advantage now, and even Cao Mao's life and death is in his hands, in this world, swords have always been controlled by the mind, and Cao Mao still believes that he can make a comeback.

Just stay calm.

Cao Lin is really not worth mentioning.

Listening to Cao Mao's gentle words, Cao Lin regretted what he had done more and more, because he had no idea what to do next. When his son Cao Chengsi planned it, he only planned it here. He didn't know what to do.

After hearing what the emperor said, Cao Lin was thinking about whether to confess his son. At this point, he actually gave up.

He is truly worthy of being called the second generation general of Cao Shuang!

Cao Mao's senses were quite keen, and he sensed Cao Lin's hesitation and hesitation. A slight smile appeared on his face, "General, I..."

"Pfft!"

The unarmored body was so fragile under the sharp sword. The bloody blade passed through his chest and pierced Cao Mao's heart accurately. His vitality stopped in an instant, and he lowered his head in disbelief. , and then fell heavily to the ground, with large mouthfuls of blood gushing out from his mouth, his eyes still wide open, staring at Cao Lin!

Cao Lin's face was splashed with Cao Mao's blood. He froze on the spot and opened his mouth. The salty blood flowed out of his mouth, but he did not react.

There seemed to be endless voices roaring in my mind, like thunder.

The emperor is dead?

The emperor died in front of him?

Why would the soldiers kill the emperor if he didn't give the order?

Who did it?

Cao Lin looked up in confusion and saw the soldier who killed the emperor being pinned to the ground by others.

There were not many people in the palace who were his confidants, and there were no outsiders. This made him sigh in relief, and then he breathed out again.

cronies?

What crony would do that?

That's regicide. Is this something a normal subordinate can do to let his master bear the infamy of regicide?

Cao Chengsi!

Cao Lin thought of his good son almost instantly, bribed his cronies, and even killed the emperor, these were all things he could do.

where is he?

Cao Lin suddenly realized that Cao Chengsi was not in the palace.

what is that?

After Chengzhu, Cao Lin saw a mask, a ghost mask!

That ghost mask worn by Cao Chengsi!

Cao Lin looked at the soldier who was being pinned down on the ground. His clothes were a little different from the others. This man was the Cao Chengsi he thought before.

Cao Lin didn't know what to say. He looked around and wondered where his good son had gone.

The regicide incident that occurred in Wei Guozhong had an extremely bad impact. Just a normal personnel appointment triggered a vicious coup, a large number of killings, and developed to the level of regicide.

This almost unscrupulous regicide completely destroyed the political bottom line of Zhu Xia, and because it was difficult to effectively sanction the regicides, the damage to political morality was immeasurable. Ancient historians were very skeptical about the regicide in Wei. The evaluation even surpassed Dong Zhuo's killing of Emperor Min of the Han Dynasty, and its destructive power is evident.

This is the first vicious political incident since Luo's disappearance. This is just the beginning, not the end. ——"The Fission of Zhuxia: After the Disappearance of the Luo Family"
