    Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, not to mention that the one being oppressed is the supreme emperor.

    "Your Majesty, Cao Mengde is aggressive and controlling the government, we can no longer let him go!" Dong Cheng said impassionedly, like a patriotic and angry young man.

    Emperor Xian sighed and said, "Although Cao Mengde is domineering, he never harmed me."

    "Your Majesty, the reason why Cao Mengde restrained himself was because Dongyang Marquis was suppressing him. Cao Mengde promised that he would be loyal to the Han Dynasty." Dong Chengdao.

    "What can I do" Emperor Xian sighed again.

    "Your Majesty does not need to do anything, leave it to the humble ministers." Dong Chengxin vowed, "Now that your Majesty is in a weak position, you should unite with the princes who are loyal to the Han Dynasty."

    Emperor Xian did not speak, but looked at Dong Cheng and motioned for him to continue speaking.

    "Alas, there are only two or three people who are loyal to Your Majesty today. One of them, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, has been defeated and died. The second, Liu Bei, the former governor of Xuzhou, cannot distinguish the priorities and is bewitched by traitors.  It is regrettable to unite with Cao Cao to attack Yangzhou. Third, Xiliang Ma Teng." Dong Chengdao.

    It seems that this task will fall on Ma Teng.

    "After Ma Teng occupied Liangzhou, his troops and horses were strong, and he was able to fight Cao Cao. Your Majesty can give him a secret message, asking him to raise troops to attack Cao Cao. Then contact the loyal people in Chang'an City, and cooperate with each other inside and outside. We will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao." Dong  Cheng spitted and said.

    Emperor Xian¡¯s dead fish eyes finally regained some vitality and said: ¡°Leave everything to the abbot!¡±

    "Your Majesty's order, I have to work hard to complete it." Dong Cheng said excitedly, and then sighed, "Oh, it's a pity that Liu Xuande is a useless person, otherwise he and Ma Teng would attack Cao Mengde"

    Emperor Xian also felt regretful.

    There are not many princes loyal to the Han Dynasty now

    Except for the Marquis of Dongyang, none of the clan princes who were originally sent out are gone.

    Jiaozhou Mu Liu Yao, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu

    Now only Yangzhou Mu Liu Dingfang is left, and Yangzhou Mu is loyal to the people and respects the Han Dynasty

    Now the only person Xian Emperor can rely on is Ma Teng, whom he has never met before, which is very disappointing.

    Saying goodbye to Emperor Xian, Dong Cheng rolled up his sleeves and went home in high spirits.

    However, somewhere unknown to him, a young eunuch left in a hurry.

    This little eunuch was undoubtedly Cao Cao's internal agent arranged by Emperor Xian's side. Only an hour later, Cao Cao got the news.

    Dong Cheng¡¯s words were recorded verbatim.

    "Don't you want to live, old guy?" Cao Cao said angrily. It turns out that dealing with government affairs day and night is already annoying enough, and he also has to be wary of his own people rebelling.

    When will this kind of life end

    Cao Cao immediately understood Liu Ke's wisdom. It was based on this consideration that he did not accept Emperor Xian.

    The court minister is a troublemaker and will do anything for the sake of power.

    Cao Cao couldn't help but think that if Dongyang Hou accepted Emperor Xian, Yangzhou would have been in chaos.  However, the Marquis of Dongyang was so powerful that there was no need for Emperor Xian to increase his power.

    Cao Cao is different. If he hadn't supported Emperor Xian, how could he have sat on the throne of prime minister.

    Those worries are nothing in comparison.

    "Boda, what do you think?" Cao Cao said, without even raising his eyelids, trying to control his emotions.

    "Lord, this matter is simple, you can use the trick." Sima Lang said.

    "How to use the trick?" Cao Cao asked, and at the same time he was very surprised that he didn't pursue it to the end and wipe out all Dong Cheng's parties.

    "My lord can use the imperial edict to summon Ma Teng to the capital. You will know if he is a loyal minister or not." Sima Lang said.

    Cao Cao suddenly became interested. Xi Zhicai was in Liangzhou and had already contacted Han Sui. After the conditions were negotiated, he could start his army in Liangzhou.

    Now, cooperating with Sima Lang's plan seems to have unexpected benefits.

    Ma Teng is the backbone of Xiliang. Once he enters the capital, won't he be at Cao Cao's mercy?  Refusing to enter the capital was a sign of disobedience, and Cao Cao had reason to deal with him.

    This plan is not clever, but it gave Cao Cao a new way of thinking.

    "What about Dong Cheng's party members?" Cao Cao asked. He was also very troubled by this. If he was dealt with lightly, it would have no effect, and if he was dealt with harshly, it would cause a backlash.

    Dong Cheng had little power but a high official rank.?? is the imperial chariot general.

    "My lord, even if you deal with one Dong Cheng, a second one will pop up, so just pretend to be indifferent." Sima Lang said.

    After some thought, Cao Cao understood that keeping Dong Cheng could stabilize Emperor Xian and confuse Ma Teng.  Killing him will only make Emperor Xian's power more hidden and difficult to monitor.

    Because, even those who are loyal to Emperor Xian still have factions.  Some people want to replace Cao Cao, and naturally some people want to replace Dong Cheng.

    What Cao Cao has to do is to sort out these messy relationships and take the entire court into his own hands.

    Although this is difficult Even though we have killed batch after batch, people still keep popping up.

    It is still easy for Dongyang Hou!

    Cao Cao couldn't help but feel envious. Now Dongyanghou was already the number one prince in the world. If he didn't work hard, he would fall far behind.

    So, the imperial envoy went to Xiliang again, and this time the envoy was Zhong Yao.

    Zhong Yao was born in the Yingchuan noble clan and was one of the first ministers to flee to Cao Cao with Emperor Xian.  He was very capable and prestigious, and was highly used by Cao Cao.

    Before meeting Ma Teng, Zhong Yao had an exchange with Xi Zhicai.

    Xi Zhicai was convinced that the lord was worthy of being the lord, and he could come up with such a method.

    ??Wouldn¡¯t it be the best time for Ma Teng to leave Xiliang?

    Han Sui, who was already ambitious, would not let this opportunity pass him by.

    Han Sui was first famous in Xizhou. He was kidnapped by the Qiang and Hu rebels and elected as their leader. In the name of killing the eunuchs, he raised an army to rebel. He gathered hundreds of thousands of people and defeated famous generals such as Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian, making the world restless.

    Later, he accepted the imperial court's invitation and became one of the princes of Xiliang.

    Ma Teng and Han Sui are opposite-sex brothers. Due to some dirty things, their relationship gradually became cold.

    "Marquis Dongwu Ting, I leave everything to you." Xi Zhicai said with cupped hands.

    "It's a trivial matter." Zhong Yao vowed.

    Because he was a holy envoy, Zhong Yao had an unobstructed journey.

    After Ma Teng learned about it, he was shocked and confused. After all, he had just received a secret letter from Emperor Xian a while ago, and now there was an official messenger. What was going on?

    However, he still met with Zhong Yao.

    Zhong Yao read out the imperial edict in public. The general meaning was to make Ma Teng the former general and Marquis of Huaili, and let him enter the capital to express his gratitude.

    "Father, Cao Mengde has ulterior motives and cannot enter the capital easily." Ma Teng's eldest son Ma Chao whispered.

    Ma Teng hesitated for a moment. However, the reward from the imperial court was right in front of him, and the glory of his ancestor was at this moment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
