Chapter 254: Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One (22) (2)
Just when Cao Cao sighed, the clerk who just came in to report came in again. However, this time he was not as calm as before.
There was some excitement on the young official's face.
"Ming Gong. News came from the palace that the emperor Liu Xie accidentally burned the second prince to death. After the news spread, the cavalry general Dong Cheng shouted to Mr. Liu, I am at odds with you."
A small official reports.[
"What?" This time, Cao Cao was really shocked and stood up suddenly.
This time, I was really shocked. Cao Cao did still doubt Dong Cheng's motives, but he never thought that Dong Cheng didn't love his daughter.
Cao Cao knew that half of the reason why Dong Cheng relied on Liu Xie was because of this daughter. Therefore, Cao Cao would not believe that Dong Cheng sacrificed Dong Guiren for some trick.
Some time ago, Cao Cao knew that the emperor Liu Xie demoted Dong Gui to Dong Meiren, and then even issued an edict to move to Zaohan Palace. At that time, Cao Cao began to really believe in Dong Cheng.
Based on this foundation, Cao Cao would gradually trust Dong Cheng in the later period.
Now, the emperor actually took action to eradicate the second prince born to Dong Meiren. This is absolutely intolerable to Dong Cheng. If coupled with the fact that Dong Guiren died suddenly because of sadness, etc.
Dong Cheng broke with the emperor Liu Xie, and there was no doubt anymore.
Therefore, Cao Cao was really shocked. Because from this moment on, Cao Cao had to admit that Dong Cheng and Liu Xie had really fallen out.
However, Cao Cao was still Cao Cao after all, and he became suspicious again.
Tiger poison does not eat its children, let alone humans. Moreover, Liu Xie did not have many children, only Liu Feng was a solitary child. No matter how much he hated Dong Cheng in his heart, venting his anger on Dong Guiren was already the limit.
Previously, it had not yet been determined whether Dong Guiren was pregnant with a boy or a girl. Liu Xie still had some very hot ideas, such as reducing Dong Guiren's food and clothing expenses.
Even if he stopped taking anti-fetal medicine, Cao Cao knew this.
But when it was clear that he had given birth to a son, Liu Xie still took action to eradicate him. Even Cao Cao probably couldn't do it. Cao Cao didn't think Liu Xie could do it if he wanted to save others by himself.
"Come here, bring General Wei Chen Ken to me." Suspicious in his heart, Cao Cao immediately acted and ordered.
"Promise." The clerk agreed and immediately turned around and went out to deliver the order.
General Wei is the general responsible for the defense of the palace, so it is very suitable for him to come forward to investigate this matter. If it is true, even Cao Cao will have to start formally accepting Dong and give a certain degree of real trust.
Because General Wei is responsible for the palace guard, there is a resting place in the front palace of the palace.
In daily life, General Chen Ken of the Guard would handle all his duties here, whether he was mobilizing soldiers for defense changes or other official matters.
It's the same today.[
However, today is a little different.
When a fire broke out in the palace, the newly born second prince died. Chen Ken, as Cao Cao's biggest spy in the palace, naturally knew about it.
At this moment, Chen Ken was in his office in the palace and ordered his lieutenants to go put out the fire. Immediately, Chen Ken put on his armor and planned to go to the emperor in person to plead guilty.
There was a fire in the palace, and although Liu Xie was responsible for it, Chen Ken would also be responsible if the investigation was pursued.
Just when Chen Ken put on his armor and planned to visit Liu Xie.
Cao Cao's order has arrived.
"General, Ming Gong asked you to come over." A minor official came in to report.
After Chen Ken weighed the relationship between Emperor Liu Xie and Cao Cao, he said without hesitation: "Please go back and report to Duke Ming. The general will be here immediately."
"promise."
The clerk agreed and immediately turned around and walked out.
