Great Wei Nengchen

"Little Xiong met brother-in-law, it's a blessing to put down the rebellion!"

"Well, how is Zijian?"

"It's under control, and the family members are temporarily under house arrest in the mansion, waiting for your brother-in-law to deal with it, and all his followers are also imprisoned!"

"Good job, really talented!"

Two days later, Xiao Yi's team arrived at Ganling City. After Cao Xiong heard the news, he personally led his entourage thirty miles out of the city to meet him. '

Among the brothers of the Cao family, Cao Xiong is the closest to his sister and brother-in-law. When he was young, he sat on Xiao Yi's shoulder to play, and even urinated a little. When he grew up, he often pestered Xiao Yi, learning to bow and ride Shooting, Wentao and Wulue, entering Wuchouhou's Mansion is like going home!

For this little brother-in-law, Xiao Yi also took care of him in many ways, won him a lot of benefits, and specially sent people to his fief to open up several large-scale salt drying farms, collecting countless money every year, so that he could do it with peace of mind. An' rich and noble! '

Unexpectedly, since I haven't seen him for a few years, the originally well-behaved and obedient little bear has turned into a mighty violent bear with hidden claws and fangs, and the city is extremely deep. Xiao Yi didn't know how to comment on this change of his little brother-in-law, so he could only say "Long" Got it! '

It's a good thing for ordinary people to grow their skills, but as the emperor's younger brother, his skills are advancing by thousands of miles, maybe it's a great thing, or it may be a catastrophe!

"I heard that when Zijian raised his army, he promised to make you the younger brother of the king, and he would rule the world together in the future. Have you ever been tempted?"

"Little Xiong has little talent and learning, and it is not enough to govern a county. How dare you have another hope!"

"It's the best, stay in the fief with peace of mind in the future, don't get involved in national affairs, it can protect your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, I don't want to have a second Qingzhou quelling the rebellion, understand?"

"Little bear understands, keep it in mind!"

With just a few words from Xiao Yi, Cao Xiong was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat. He took a few steps back and kept bowing in salute. At the same time, he thought secretly, where did he go wrong?

It turned out that when Cao Zhi tried his best to win over Cao Xiong and supported his rebellion, Cao Pi's envoy also came to Yangcheng County and promised many benefits to let the fifth younger brother help put down the rebellion. Compared with the two, Cao Xiong did not hesitate. Falling to the second brother, the reason is also very simple:

First of all, Cao Pi is the heir apparent of the great Wei Dynasty, and his succession to the throne is legitimate, with the support of a large number of civil and military ministers. His strength is ten times that of Cao Zhi. The risk of rebellion is too great, but the success is too small.

Secondly, if Cao Pi becomes emperor in the future, Cao Xiong will become a vassal king, and Cao Zhi will become emperor in the future, and Cao Xiong will still be a vassal king. They have the same title anyway, so why risk rebellion?

If the rebellion fails, the titles of the princes and kings will be lost, the head of the king may also fall, and the wives, concubines and children will be implicated. This kind of thing with high risks and low benefits, a fool would not do it, right?

In the end, even with the support of Cao Xiong, Cao Zhi succeeded in rebelling by chance, can he really fulfill the promise of "Tai Di Wang"?

Flesh and blood kinship, father and son, Cao Zhi has two biological sons, how can he pass on the big position to others, remove obstacles for his biological sons, and kill his younger brother is very possible, this is the real human nature!

Considering the above points, Cao Xiong naturally wants to take refuge with his second brother, and follow his secret order, falsely raising troops to respond to Cao Zhi's rebellion, infiltrating into the rebel group, and then cooperating inside and outside to put down the rebellion in one fell swoop!

Cao Zhi didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, so he believed in this younger brother, told many things to his confidantes, and even distributed [-] soldiers and horses to him. How could he be invincible?

Before Xiao Yi entered Ganling City, he pitched a large camp outside the city, and ordered all the captives to be brought here, and he wanted to interrogate him on the spot and decide whether to live or die!

………………

"Report to Master Sima: The Marquis of Linzi and his family members and party members have all been brought here!"

"Bring it up!"

"promise!"

A Dharma field was set up in the camp, Xiao Yi sat in the middle, his face was as gloomy as water, Cao Xiong carefully sat beside him, not daring to say a word, dozens of generals lined up on both sides, all dressed in full body clothes, holding hands sword!

There are also hundreds of executioners, wearing big red clothes, holding ghost-headed knives, standing murderously on the execution ground. The appearance of killing ring.

"Sinner Cao Zijian, I have seen Master Sima, all crimes are committed by me, and I have no complaints, and I hope that innocent women and children will be forgiven!"

"Husband!--Father!--Woo!"

In just a few days, Cao Zhi lost a lot of weight, his face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and the beard stubble appeared, as if he had aged more than ten years!

However, he still maintained his aristocratic demeanor, respectfully bowed to Xiao Yi, took the initiative to bear all the responsibilities, and asked to let his family members be spared, but turned a blind eye to Cao Xiong, obviously still remembering the revenge of 'betrayal'!

One wife and four concubines, two sons and three daughters followed behind, either crying or trembling, some couldn't stand upright, and sat down on the ground!

Cao Zhi cared about his family very much, and he was worried about staying in Linzi City, so he took him out with him and lived in Ganling City for the time being, but he didn't think it would just happen to be a pot for someone.

Another 400 officials, patriarchs, and tyrants who followed the rebellion were also taken into the camp. Some of them surrendered voluntarily, some were captured on the battlefield, and some were captured and sent by the people.

These people were not treated preferentially. They were all tightly tied up with ropes, and some of them were covered with scarves. Their clothes were torn and their flesh was bloody.

At the same time, people were secretly guessing how Lord Sima would deal with Marquis Linzi. Although rebellion was a heinous crime, Cao Zhi was the son of the former king after all, and even if he was to be severely punished, it would have to be ordered by the court!

As the saying goes, "the king does not disgrace". Since ancient times, no one has dared to lynch a prince. Beating and insulting are not allowed. This is related to the face of the royal family. Who dares to risk the disgrace of the world...

"Crack! Crack!--A foolish, useless, majestic shepherd of a state, was kidnapped by his subordinates, and raised his troops to rebel against the imperial court?

Today, I will take the place of the former king and teach you a lesson. You have a human head, a pig's brain, a wine bag and a rice bag, what else can you do besides reciting poems and composing Fu? "

An unexpected thing happened, Xiao Yi left his seat suddenly, kicked Cao Zhi to the ground, swung the Dragon and Tiger Golden Whip and whipped him violently, blood was seen on the whip, his skin was bruised, and he pointed his nose and cursed, Words like stupid pig and stupid cow came out.

Dare to whip and scold a prince in front of countless people, Xiao Yi is probably the only one in the world who has the guts and the qualifications, and also created a precedent in history!

"Lord Da Sima blamed Zijian for being a wimp, and Zijian for being a fool... But Zijian had no intention of rebellion at all, and it was all his subordinates who made their own decisions—woohoo!"

Cao Zhi was rolling all over the ground in pain, but he regained his spirits, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes. He could already hear that Xiao Yi called it punishment, but he was actually protecting him!

Just imagine, if you raise your troops to rebel, it will definitely be the crime of beheading. Even if the queen mother intercedes, it may not help. After all, the prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. This is one of the unchanging iron laws!

But, as Xiao Yi's words reminded, if he had no rebellion, but was held hostage by his subordinate officials and forced to raise the flag of rebellion, then that would be a different matter.

I can only say that I am incompetent, useless, and committed the crime of "lax governance".

Cao Zhi is also a smart person. He instantly understood the meaning of it. While bearing the whipping, he wept bitterly and begged for mercy. By the way, he shirked the responsibility completely. As long as he did not admit the treason and had a good brother-in-law to help cover it up, this matter can definitely be reversed over here.

Ants are greedy for life, let alone a young prince, as long as he can save himself and his family, let alone be a wimp, even a bastard can learn a lesson!

"The former king's Wentao and martial arts strategy, the hero is unrivaled in the world, no one in the world is convinced, why did you give birth to you, a useless person, it is really embarrassing to the former king - bah! bah!"

After whipping seventy or eighty times in a row, and spitting twice, Xiao Yi finally stopped, and returned to his seat, the cloud on his face dissipated slightly!

In all honesty, the rebellion was massive this time, dozens of counties and counties in Qinghai and Jizhou suffered from military disasters, and the whole of Hebei was turbulent. Dry the bacon strips to feed the birds!

But no, before Cao Cao died, he told Xiao Yi to take care of his sons so that no brother-in-law would happen. Even though Cao Zhi really rebelled, he still had to clean up his father-in-law’s instructions. , At any rate, we must save our lives!

However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. Cao Zhi must be given some severe punishment, so that he can have a longer memory, so as not to make mistakes in the future, and give an explanation to the world!

"Come on, drag this wretch down. Since he is as stupid as a pig, put him in the pigsty and reflect on it!"

"Remember, no one is allowed to release him without the order of Da Sima, and no one is allowed to visit him. Anyone who violates the law will be shot!"

"promise!"

Xiao Yi was a man of his word, he said he would beat Cao Zhi severely, and put him in a pigsty, and now he really did everything.

In the village near Daying, I picked a dirty and smelly century-old circle, threw Cao Zhi into it, and exchanged poems and songs with a few Fat Hem, and sent a team of soldiers to monitor it. , In fact, it is also protection in disguise!
