Chapter 968 Making a Lie Come True

Xiao Huangmen on the side came up and handed the edict drafted by Chen Lin to the emperor Liu Xie.

"Those who work hard and have great achievements must be rewarded with great rewards. Therefore, King Wu granted the state of Qi the title of Taigong, and Mu of Qin and Shang Yang shared the land of Qin. Now we have General Ye, whose contributions are as high as the mountains. He is outstanding in both civil and military skills. He has inspired us. "Bangjia"

Xiao Huangmen read a long article. It must be said that Han Fu is indeed beautiful in lyrics, but it is also nagging. However, the officials did not dare to have any dissatisfaction and all stayed with them to listen.

After finally finishing reciting, Liu Xie held an ax in his hand and handed it to Liu Ye: "The general held the festival, sealed Jiuxi, and made him the Duke of Qin. He made the nine counties of Beidi, Tianshui, Anding, Wudu, and Jincheng the Duke of Qin. All the gains from the fiefdom belong to the Duke of Qin! Everything in the west is entrusted to the Duke of Qin."

"I thank your Majesty!"

Liu Ye prostrated himself on the ground, and then took the ax from Liu Ye's hand.

Modern people are growing taller with each generation. This is because young people are eating better and more nutritious food. The nutritional intake of modern people is much more comprehensive than that of ancient people. In addition, Liu Ye has been practicing martial arts all year round to strengthen his muscles and bones. Naturally, he is as tall as an iron tower, and his majesty seems to be taking shape.

Liu Xie, who was beside him, was immediately outclassed. Liu Xie grew up in a deep palace and was not good at bowing and horsemanship. Moreover, because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he lived a difficult life in Luoyang for a period of time and almost had no food to eat. Naturally, It's a thin body. Such a comparison between the two shows a huge gap. Many people even feel that the general is more like the emperor than His Majesty.

"The general is majestic and majestic. Although he is a minister, he looks more like an emperor."

"If the leader is weak and the minister is strong, it may not be a blessing to the country, alas!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, are you going to die?"

Not all the ministers in the DPRK are Liu Ye's cronies. Only the important official positions with real power, such as the Sangong and Jiuqing, are appointed by the cronies. The empty positions such as the minister and the minister are filled by some famous people at home. In this way, it can be done Improve the majesty of the court.

Liu Ye held an ax in his hand, suppressing Liu Xie's limelight, and then turned to Liu Xie and said: "The emperor is careful, I have been granted the title of Qin Gong, and there is no way to repay him. I am planning to gather food and grass, build up strong troops and horses, and fight to the death with Cao Cao, completely wiping out the world in repayment." His Majesty."

"Ah, state affairs are very important. State affairs are very important. The general can prepare quickly. I am waiting for the good news of the general's triumphal return."

Liu Xie was relieved when he heard this. Since Liu Ye was going to attack Cao Cao, he would not stay in the court in a short time, so he felt more relaxed.

"Yes, your Majesty, take care."

After that, Liu Ye said goodbye to Liu Xie and turned around to leave.

Dali Temple, in the prison.

"Mr. Wenhe."

"Well, no need to be polite."

Jia Xu waved his hand, sat down, and looked at the assassin opposite.

This assassin dared to assassinate Liu Ye, and a group of jailers were not polite. They used all kinds of torture on him, beating him so badly that he was covered in bruises and blood. A pungent smell of blood filled the prison. .

"Did anything happen during the interrogation?" Jia Xu asked the jailer Ling beside him.

The jailer Ling shook his head and said angrily: "Mr. Wenhe, this guy has a very tough mouth and refuses to say anything no matter what. I ordered people to use various methods. He always said that the general was a traitor. He was so indignant. So he took action to assassinate him."

"Well, I understand."

Jia Xu looked at the assassin and said, "Raise your head."

"snort!"

The assassin turned his head and refused to raise his head. The jailer next to him gave an order and forcibly turned his head away.

"Who is your surname?"

"A commoner is nothing to care about."

"Who sent you here?"

"No one else, God! Thief Liu has done many evil things, and I am destined to kill him."

The assassin was quite stubborn and could not reveal any information, but Jia Xu smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter."

"Get a pen and paper."

Jia Xu stretched out his hand, and the jailer had already handed him a pen and paper, while Jia Xu lowered his head and wrote for a while.

Putting the brush aside, Jia Xu took the paper and looked at the assassin with a smile: "I will read out what you confessed to me now."

"According to the confession, the assassin's name is Cao Ting, and he is a dead soldier raised by the traitor Prime Minister Cao Cao. The traitor Cao wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty, so he gave Cao Ting five hundred gold and ordered him to sneak into Luoyang, communicate with the emperor Liu Xie secretly, and coordinate internally and externally to arrange Assassinate the general and frame Zhongliang, am I right?" Jia Xu said with a smile.

The assassin's expression changed: "What are you talking about? It's obviously nonsense. You heard everything I just said! Why are you talking nonsense?"

Jia Xu still maintained a decent smile: "Nonsense? When did you say nonsense? You just confessed this 'in person'."

"Right?" Jia Xu smiled at the guards around him.

The jailers were stunned, but the jailer Ling was the first to react: "Yes, Mr. Wen He is right, we all heard it! This guy was appointed by Cao Cao!"

"Yes, yes, we all heard it clearly."

"This thief is really shameless and his heart is to be punished!"

The assassin almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. Jia Xu's words turned out to be so unreasonable, confusing right and wrong, how unreasonable!

"Jia Thief, you are helping Zhou to do evil and fabricating confessions, just like Liu Thief!" the assassin said angrily.

"Haha, come on, put his fingerprints on it." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Here!"

A jailer had already stepped forward, grabbed his hand and pressed it on the confession. The assassin naturally struggled desperately and resisted constantly. However, he had been tortured and seriously injured. How could he use the combined efforts of several jailers who were full of physical strength? ? The palm of his hand was immediately printed on the confession, and a bloody handprint appeared.

Jia Xu admired the confession with satisfaction, as if appreciating a piece of calligraphy by a famous contemporary artist, and kept nodding.

"Military Commander Guo has arrived!"

Guo Jia hurriedly walked in and said, "Wenhe, have you asked for the confession?"

Jia Xu smiled and handed over the confession: "I asked, you can see for yourself."

"Okay, let me take a look." Guo Jia couldn't wait to take the confession. After reading it at a glance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, Wen He is indeed a poisonous person, that's wonderful." Guo Jia laughed.

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing. He usually didn't talk much, but he always hit the mark. He was especially good at reading people's hearts.

This assassin dared to assassinate Liu Ye, so he was naturally prepared to die. Even if he was tortured, it would be difficult to find out what was true. But that doesn't matter. The assassin is already in his hands anyway. If he wants anything, just ask him to say whatever he wants.

This letter from Jia Xu really kills two birds with one stone. First of all, it shows that this dead soldier was sent by Cao Cao, which just provided an excuse for Liu Ye to raise an army to conquer Cao Cao. As the saying goes, a teacher has a reputation, and it is natural to have a reputation.
