The question was also raised, and what should be drank was drank.
Drunk... Cao Cao's whole body was swaying a little.
However, he is a determined person, and as long as it is about matters other than women, especially big matters, he will never be confused even if he is drunk.
"Brother Yi, I've finished drinking all the wine. Shouldn't your Chrysostomus be opened too?"
"It's so refreshing to hide it from brother!" Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, and while helping Cao Cao fill up his wine, he replied: "Brother hiding it, I'm afraid you don't know, the little lady Yang Biao married, her surname is Yuan..."
boom…
Rumble!
Yi Xiaotian's words were like a thunderbolt, which instantly shattered Cao Cao's drunkenness. At this moment, Cao Cao's tiger body was shaken, and his spirit was also shaken.
Yuan…Yuan…
Cao Cao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yi? Is this little lady of the Yuan family Yuan Shao's Yuan? Or Yuan Shu's Yuan?"
When he asked these words, Cao Cao's eyes were extremely urgent, and his whole body was about to fall on Yi Xiaotian's body.
Looking at his eager eyes, Yi Xiaotian raised his hand and asked in a low voice, "Which Yuan do you want to hide from me? That's the Yuan!"
"It's Yuan Shu's pseudo-emperor..." Following Yi Xiaotian's words, Cao Cao said without thinking.
Wow…
Suddenly, Cao Cao's whole person became enlightened.
I'm sorry, this is Yang Biao's weakness. He really can't find anything even if he wears iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all...
Yang Biao, Yang Biao, you have been cautious all your life, but you are going to get into trouble when it comes to renewing your string!
Of course, how could Yang Biao have imagined that he would dare to marry Yuan Shu's daughter, and then Yuan Shu would proclaim himself emperor!
For this reason, Yang Biao's entire marriage became extremely low-key, for fear of getting into trouble.
Huh...Cao Cao exhaled a long breath.
So refreshing...
The late wife of Taiwei Yang Biao was surnamed Yuan, but unfortunately, the wife who continued his marriage was also surnamed Yuan, and she was the daughter of Yuan Shu. This old cow was eating young grass, and she was going to eat herself in the cemetery.
"Brother Yi, this matter is very important. You didn't trick me, did you?"
Cao Cao couldn't help but confirm again that this matter was too big.
If it is true, then Yang Biao is related to Yuan Shu, the traitor recognized by the Han Dynasty. You must know that the reputation of the false emperor Yuan Shu will be infamy for thousands of years.
With such a relative, Yang Biao might not be able to get clean no matter how hard he washes himself.
Making a fuss around this, let alone arresting Yang Biao and removing him from the high position of Taiwei, the leader of the three princes, even having him killed would be justified.
"Do I need to lie to my brother?" Yi Xiaotian spread his hands. "Well, although Yang Biao kept a low profile about this matter, there are still some people in the court who know about it. If he doesn't believe it, relying on his relationship with him
, investigate to determine the authenticity? Isn’t that easy?”
Hearing Yi Xiaotian's confident words, the big stone in Cao Cao's heart finally fell...
Unexpectedly, the problem that had troubled him for a long time could be solved so easily.
Taking advantage of Yang Biao's relationship with the traitor Yuan Shu, he was thrown into prison and then deposed from his title of Three Dukes. As a result, the entire pro-Han courtiers were leaderless.
At that time, Cao Cao can make drastic adjustments to the court personnel and place his cronies in important positions. In this way, he will intimidate the ministers and threaten the emperor's direction!
As long as the method is not so ruthless and not so dark, it won't arouse a lot of resistance...
After all, Yang Biao, the backbone of the pro-Han faction, has fallen. Who else can and dares to carry the banner of opposition to Cao Cao?
"Brother Yi, you have solved Cao Cao's urgent need this time!" Cao Cao's tone was high, and he felt extremely sad.
His appearance is a bit floating!
"Brother Hide it!" Yi Xiaotian continued to remind. "I think you have misunderstood. The matter of Cao Cao threatening the emperor's official status is not about whether he catches Yang Biao, but whether he lets Yang Biao go!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian put his hands up and held his chin. "Brother Hide, you taste it, you taste it carefully."
Phew...this...
Cao Cao suddenly fell into deep thought, and the turbulence in his heart also subsided a little in time.
After calming down, he became the wise hero again...
As Brother Yi said, catching him is not the key point. The key point is that after catching him, countless Han ministers will surely come to intercede, countless celebrities from all over the world will pay attention, and countless aristocratic families will pay attention to this.
How to punish Yang Biao? That is the key to the problem.
In this regard, Brother Yi mentioned the word "release"?
But…
It took a lot of effort to put him in jail? Is it so easy to let him go?
Could it be that releasing Yang Biao weakened the threat to the imperial court?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but continue to ask. "Brother Yi, do you mean to let Yang Biao go? But what if he goes out and confronts Cao Cao? Then..."
"Brother Hi, please listen to what I have to say." Yi Xiaotian nodded, then raised his hand and continued to explain.
"Lieutenant Yang Biao still has some integrity. If he is imprisoned on the charge of having an affair with the traitor Yuan Shu, then he will never admit to this unfounded charge, whether it is through words and deeds to force a confession or through severe punishment...
Despite his old age and weak body, he can still withstand severe punishments again and again!"
this…
Yi Xiaotian's analysis seemed reasonable to Cao Cao, but wasn't his purpose just to force Yang Biao to submit and rectify the situation?
If we don’t fight? We don’t interrogate? We don’t ask questions? Then… what effect can it have?
"Brother Yi?" Thinking of this, Cao Cao asked anxiously. "Brother Yi means no fighting? No trial?"
"No...he still has to be beaten, and it has to be hard, painful, and painful." Yi Xiaotian waved his hand directly. "But, the purpose of the beating must be clear."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian paused for a moment, and then sighed. "Some people can withstand all severe punishments in prison, not because they have strong bones, but because they feel there is no hope. When you let them go through
After despair, give him a glimmer of hope, and then... he will know the fragility and preciousness of life."
"Brother Hi, I am sure that as long as you release Yang Biao after being severely punished, he will immediately resign from the rank of Taiwei, retire and return to his hometown, and will withdraw from the general disputes in the imperial court..."
"In this case, Yang Biao was punished and his official position was removed, which was enough to deter the Han officials; finally, Yang Biao was released, which was an explanation to the famous people and powerful clans in the world, letting them know that Cao Cao was going to clean up
At the same time, Chao Gang is not a big devil who kills people without blinking an eye!"
"As the saying goes, with a lollipop in one hand and a mace in the other, with both kindness and power, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome!"
Yi Xiaotian talked a lot eloquently...
But Cao Cao remembered every word he said with all his heart.
With good intelligence, careful planning, and shady behavior, in Cao Cao's eyes, Brother Yi is really an outstanding conspirator...
Phew...Cao Cao took a long breath.
While surprised by Yi Xiaotian's quick decision...
For a moment, he even felt a little scared.
Fortunately, he was the first to get to know Brother Yi. Otherwise, if Sun Jian, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu had taken the lead...then what Cao Cao would have left him now would have been a disgrace!
