Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

"His Royal Highness the Prince, minister, minister~~"

Chen Qun groaned, not knowing how to defend himself.

Cao Zhi has already confessed, and the evidence is irrefutable, so there is no use for him to defend himself.

Cao Yuan saw the silk book on the desk, his eyes moved slightly, and he picked it up.

As expected, it turned out to be the"Nine-grade Zhongzheng System".

Having lived in two lifetimes, he naturally clearly remembers that the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was created by Chen Qun.

In the past, Cao Pi inherited the throne of Wei and wanted to proclaim himself emperor, but due to lack of prestige, he could only implement the nine-level Zhongzheng system in exchange for the support of the family, and finally ascended to the throne.

This system was tailor-made for the aristocratic clans to monopolize the power to select officials, and ran counter to Cao Cao's national policy of meritocracy and suppressing the aristocratic clans.

In order to proclaim himself emperor, Cao Pi did not hesitate to compromise with the family and cede imperial power.

He himself ascended to the throne, but he usurped the throne for the Sima family and laid the fatal foundation for the fall of Cao Wei.

The beginning of this disaster is the"Nine-grade Zhongzheng System" in the hands of Cao Yuan.》

"As long as I, Cao Yuan, am here, how can I allow you, a bunch of parasites from the world, to usurp my kingdom, Cao Wei!"

Cao Yuan snorted disdainfully, threw the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system into the brazier with a wave of his hand. Turning around with a flick of his sleeves, a cold murderous intent was already igniting on his face.

"Immediately search for Cao Pi and Xun Yu, and capture all the rebels who participated in the mutiny!"

In Yecheng, a bloody storm started.

……

Xun Mansion.

Xun Yu, Yang Biao and Kong Rong were talking, laughing and drinking.

"Mr. Yang and Mr. Kong, are your private soldiers ready?"

_

_ The Wei army is elite."

Xun Yu nodded slightly and looked at Kong Rong.

"I also secretly summoned 400 old Beihai troops, who are all current warriors, ready to listen to Wen Ruo's orders at any time. Kong

Rong also said proudly

"So very good. Xun

Yu pinched his fingers and made some calculations, then said:"You, the Yang family, the Kong family, plus the Ding family, and the Zhang family, we are fully prepared, and we can gather five thousand righteous men. If we use them properly, we can accomplish great things.""

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Wen Ruo, His Highness the Crown Prince, is as resourceful as a god. He won't notice our conspiracy, right?"

Yang Biao became worried again.

"Cao Yuan did have a clever plan, but he would never have imagined that Queen Bian would go to such lengths to help her son ascend to the throne, even leading the Qin army to the capital, regardless of the life and death of the King of Wei and the survival of the Wei state."

"I predict that we are 70% sure that we can hide this conspiracy from Cao Yuan."

_

"In fact, when it comes to great talents and strategies, Cao Yuan is indeed a rare hero in the world. If he can dominate the world, his future achievements will definitely far exceed those of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty."

"What a pity, he is in the same vein as King Wei's employment strategy, which is based on meritocracy, regardless of high or low, and intentionally or unintentionally suppresses our family."

"For this reason alone, no matter how powerful he is, we cannot let him inherit the throne. Kong

Rong stroked his beard and commented on Cao Yuan, with a bit of regret in his words.

"What Kong Beihai said makes sense. Xun

Yu nodded repeatedly,"So, the best choice is to continue to support the Liu family as emperor. Only when the emperor and the family rule the world can the emperor and his ministers be harmonious and the world peaceful.""

Yang Biao and Kong Rong nodded in agreement.

The three of them had no scruples and began to think about the beautiful blueprint of coming to re-establish the Han Emperor and the family to take power.

Suddenly, there were killing sounds outside the hall.

The slaves of the Xun family fled in, many of them wearing red and colorful clothes.

"what happened?"

Xun Yu's expression changed.

Kong Rong and Yang Biao were also taken aback and stood up in unison.

The next moment, the expressions of the three of them changed with horror.

General Zhang Liao led a group of Wei troops and came in fiercely.

Dare to dare along the way. All the Xun family slaves who blocked their way were chopped down to the ground.

"Zhang Liao, are you crazy?"

"How dare you break into my Xun Mansion and kill my slaves? You can't rebel if you want!"

Xun Yu stepped forward and stood in front of the Wei army angrily.

"rebel? Zhang

Liao sneered and pointed his bloody knife:"Xun Yu, you are the one who really wants to rebel!""

_

"Xun Yu, you and Empress Bian Cao Pi planned a rebellion and led the Qin army to attack Yecheng. You deserve to die."

"On the orders of the Crown Prince, I have led an army to arrest you and bring you to justice, and to exterminate your Xun clan!"

"Xun Yu, why don't you just surrender?"

Zhang Liao's words were like a knife, revealing the truth. Xun Yu was shaken and took half a step back after being slapped on the head.

Behind him, Yang Biao and Kong Rong all changed their colors in shock and broke out in cold sweat.

Xun Yu tried his best to suppress his panic. , pretending to be shocked and said:"What conspiracy to mutiny? I don't know what you are talking about. Take me to see the king quickly. I want to clarify it to the king face to face!""

"Still want to quibble?"

Zhang Liao snorted disdainfully, with a contemptuous sneer on his face.

"Not to mention that His Royal Highness has been wary of you for a long time and has secretly sent people to keep a close watch on you. Your every move is already under His control."

"This morning, Master Jian went to the palace in person and revealed to King Wei the conspiracy between Queen Bian, Cao Pi and you."

"Xun Yu, the evidence is as solid as a mountain, don’t deny it anymore!"

Xun Yu's head buzzed, and a burst of energy and blood rushed to his head.

He was instantly dizzy. He never expected in his dreams that Cao Yuan would be wary of him.

He even didn't expect that Cao Zhi was here. At the critical moment, he actually turned against Cao Cao and reported it to Cao Cao.

The mutiny plan, the rebuilding of the Han Dynasty, and the dream of the emperor and his family to rule the world were all gone at this moment.

"Could it be that all of this is really God’s will?"

Xun Yu was dejected, his eyes were dull, and he looked up to the sky and let out a long sad sigh.

Zhang Liao waved his hand:"Capture the traitor Xun Yu, capture and imprison all the Xun family, and don't leave any one behind!""

The order was passed.

The Wei army rushed up and captured Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was completely disillusioned and did not make any resistance. He just allowed himself to be tied up by the Wei army.

Zhang Liao glanced at Yang Biao and Kong Rong, and shouted:"These two thieves must be the same. Participated in the rebellion and captured them all."

Yang Biao and Kong Rong were rudely tied down by the Wei army before they could argue. The entire Xun Mansion was already wailing.
