Chapter 10: Seizing power, the sewer capsizes
"Da Changqiu is really becoming more and more outrageous!" Emperor Liu Hong put down his abacus... his expression changed a little.
Speaking of which, the reason why... was able to ascend to the throne and regain power from the foreign relatives was thanks to this Chang Qiu Caojie. For this reason, Emperor Liu Hong gave him great power. As long as he did not go beyond his behavior, he would turn a blind eye...
Now, how dare he cover up the emperor's rebellion in the case of Queen Song?
This is becoming more and more disregardless of taking the emperor seriously.
"Yes..." Zhang Rang arched his body, his eyes narrowed into a slit. "To be honest, Cao Song's adoptive father Cao Teng is the godfather of Cao Jie of Dachang Qiu? After all, their surname is Cao, and even if it is to cover up... is understandable."
Zhang Rang's words... seem to be entrusted with love, but in fact it was Chen Ming and Cao Jie's crime. He also brought Cao Jie into the water through the "Empress Song case". "When it comes to it, Lord Cao Jie and former Grand Secretary Cao Song... one is in charge of the personnel transfer of the court, and the other is in charge of the money of the Han Dynasty... Will there be..."
Another reminder... Zhang Rang deliberately said only half of the words!
Wow…Personnel transfer, great man’s money!
When the money was mentioned, Emperor Liu Hong frowned.
In his opinion, the only one who can embezzle the treasury of the Han Dynasty privately. If others dare to do such a thing, that is, they will touch his tiger beard. In terms of "money", this emperor has always been very smart.
"Transferring the Great Chang Qiu Cao Festival!" A few cold words... You Zizhi said, Zhang Rang winked, and several small yellow sects left with their heads down...
But they had just gone out... they were just seeing Cao Jie coming quickly.
...After a little stunned, "The emperor is looking for Cao Dachangqiu!" said the little yellow gate.
Immediately, he turned around and shouted in unison: "Go to Cao Festival, Dachang..." It seemed that he heard the conversation between the emperor and Zhang Rang. After this shout, Xiaohuangmen deliberately raised his tone and became a little sharp, but it had a slight smell of watching the fun without much trouble.
Cao Jie didn't have time to argue with them, so he quickly walked to the emperor. "See Your Majesty..."
"Da Changqiu is free from gifts." Liu Hong replied, his tone was cold, and he didn't even turn his eyes to him...
Cao Jie was slightly stunned, and the outskirted glanced at Zhang Rang who was secretly sneering. He understood a little in his heart. He was about to take the initiative to explain something, but Emperor Liu Hong spoke.
"I never thought that Cao Dachangqiu and former Grand Chief Farmer Cao Song... were brothers?" Liu Hong's words were sarcastic.
"Report to Your Majesty, Cao Song's adoptive father Cao Teng... is the mentor of Lao Nu, who is like father and son..." Cao Jie explained.
Zhang Rang's lips curled up, and he couldn't stop smiling. He thought, Cao Jie took the initiative to admit that it would be easy. Now, let him be sophist, but he can cover up the Cao family's crime? There is no way to clear it!
It seems that the day when this Dachang Qiu Cao's powerful ranks in the court and the country is about to end! ... His Zhang Rang's era is coming.
"Is this the reason why you cover up the Cao family?" With a "bang", Emperor Liu Hong smashed heavily on the table, and teacups on the table splashed. "In the case of Queen Song, I want to implicate the nine tribes, nine tribes... Cao Dachangqiu? Don't you understand?"
The thinking logic of Emperor Liu Hong is actually very simple...
The reason why the merchants are so disgusted with Empress Song is that they do not punish these clans and ministers related to the Empress Song case? How could he be a rent collector with peace of mind? Last year, half of the rent left? Who will pay? In terms of the "main business" of doing business, Emperor Liu Hong can be said to be not careless at all.
"Your Majesty, I'm a slaughtering the Cao family!" Cao Jie blurted out...
"Hmph." Zhang Rang sneered, "Cao Dachangqiu... the aristocratic family related to the Queen Song case, exiled, and confiscated the house? Why is the Cao family still living in No. 9 Jinwu Lane? Could it be that Cao Song's niece was not married to Empress Song's brother-in-law?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Rang paused. "Or? Is Cao Dachangqiu going to deny the fact that he covered up the Cao family?"
His eyes were cold and his tone was cold. Zhang Rang pretended to be a grandson for a long time, and he would never leave any room for his move... Since he had broken up with Cao Jie, then... Cao Jie, the Cao family must fall down together!
Swallow... Cao Jie took a breath...
Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that Zhang Rang, who was carrying it in one hand, was so cunning... The offensive of scrambling for power was higher and higher than that... Cao Jie couldn't help but feel a little bit of gratitude. If he hadn't been to the Cao family a few days ago, if it weren't for the reminder of that little guy Cao Shu... This accident today would have been a capsized in the gutter!
Huh...Thanks to that little guy Cao Shu, thanks to the sentence in "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Guliang" - Don't regard your concubine as your wife...
When I thought of this, Cao Jie's eyes raised up... There was no fear, no cowardice, and even extremely calm...
Even Zhang Rang was stunned...
He? Is Cao Jie crazy? The disaster is coming? Still... still so calm? He pretends... he must be pretending! You will continue to pretend to be your big-tailed wolf. Let's see how long you can still be stubborn?
"Your Majesty...he..." Zhang Rang did not forget to put down the wrong person...
Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice started, Cao Jie's voice interrupted him directly. "I'm just about to report this to Your Majesty? What is the intention of Zhang Changshi's interrogation? Are you not going to let Old Majesty speak? Or are you going to speak for Your Majesty?"
Uh... I pulled down a high hat and scolded him sternly. This sentence... I was arrogant without anger, which made Zhang Rang take a step back... For a moment, a "coward" sound rose in his heart.
After all, he has been the leader of an eunuch for so many years? Cao Jie is not a good person! The trick of being fooled is easy to take.
"Pret? Keep pretending! We want to hear how you make a sophistry?"
Zhang Rang swallowed a word into his stomach, looking at Cao Jie with great resentment.
"Cao Dachangqiu seems to have something to say?" Emperor Liu Hong raised his abacus again, and while opening his mouth, he went to calculate the accounts... It seemed a little careless.
As the saying goes, Zhang Rang's words have formed a "established fact" in his heart that Cao Jie's cover of the Cao family. Let Cao Jie explain it? It seems that he cannot tell the charge of covering up the Cao family!
"Your Majesty, how dare I protect the Cao family... I act according to the law."
Cao Jie knelt on the ground, "The ancients said that you should not regard your concubine as your wife. The nine tribes implicated in the Han Dynasty did not include the concubine's family.
It is true that Cao Song's niece Cao Ying married Empress Song's brother-in-law, but after the old slave visited and investigated, he found out that Cao Ying was married as a concubine... the so-called concubine is a slave... the servant, even if the nine tribes are implicated, how can the pearl curtain be placed on the family of a slave again?"
Um... Concubine? The word "concubine" was heard by Emperor Liu Hong and Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang...
He is actually a concubine?
Liu Hong was slightly surprised, but Zhang Rang's chin was almost shocked...
What? Why is it a concubine?
For a moment, Zhang Rang was a little confused... After reading the book, he naturally knew that the so-called "nine clans" were the four father clans, the three mother clans, and the two wife clans... This concubine... was not there at all... or in other words, she was not qualified to be among the nine clans... This was a bit like a "sky pit".
Zhang Rang's teeth rubbed together, and beads of sweat as big as beans slipped down like rain.
...This is a bit embarrassing, because of a false charge, he tore his face with his immediate boss Cao Jie... and even sued a wrongful case in front of Emperor Liu Hong...
Damn, who sent the information? It's a trick!
