)董承
建安四年（公元199年）,献帝18岁,应该说他已进入一个成熟时期,一系列行动也算是雷厉风行,任命外戚董承为车骑将军，秘密写下衣带诏赐给董承，授意董承联络汉室大臣诸侯，联合铲除曹操.可他最终却未动而败,,如此机密之事竟然被曹操获悉,以至于”除曹”尚未开始,与谋者董承、吴子兰、种辑等人就在次年被灭三族了.曹操有耳目,可难道真能神通广大如斯?恐怕还是献帝谋事不密要占到失败的主要原因.
董承受血衣带诏，在曹操剿灭吕布，权势正大的时候临危受命，组织“七义灭曹组”，最终事情败露，慷慨就义。但他时任车骑大将军，理应出头。何况他是为献帝召唤，主动性欠佳。
密诏传衣带，天言出禁门。
当年曾救驾，此日更承恩。
忧国成心疾，除奸入梦魂。
忠贞千古在，成败复谁论。
A secret decree in a girdle sewn,
In red blood written, the Emperor's own,
To the staunch and faithful Dong Cheng addressed,
Who had saved him once when enemies pressed.
And who, sore grieved at his Sovereign's fate,
Expressed in dreams his ceaseless hate,
Carried misfortune and death in its train,
But glory to him who died in vain.
