Chapter 59 God's Assist from Queen He
Zhang Rang was speechless. He looked left and right. On the surface, he was calm, but in his heart, he felt turbulent. He even felt unbelievable and felt that you were teasing me.
Cao Cao dismissed the emperor's official title? Can this be explained by force? It is clearly a matter of being distorted and changing the concept? It turns out that Cao Cao's move is reasonable? Is it a great achievement?
But, the emperor Liu Hong, he looked very useful, and Zhang Rang couldn't help but mutter, was the emperor's mind dumbfounded by this little guy?
Thinking of this, Zhang Rang had to argue a few words, that his opponent was just a six-year-old child. If he could make a bend, Zhang Rang could straighten it out.
"His Majesty…"
Zhang Rang spoke, but he didn't expect that the word "Your Majesty" had just blurted out, but he heard a guard outside the gate of Qianqiu Wansui Hall utter a loud voice. "The Empress is here."
Well? Why did the queen come in the air? Zhang Rang was stunned and immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.
...
"I have seen Your Majesty."
While the message was passed, Empress He had slowly walked into the hall. Yu Guang looked around at the situation in the hall. In addition to Cao Jie, there was also a six-year-old child who was kneeling on the ground, probably Cao Shuo, the young grandson of the Cao family!
She secretly glanced at Cao Shu. She was very cute and pretty. Her childish face reminded her of her son Liu Bian. Bian'er is probably so big now, right?
Of course, Empress He observed Cao Shu, and Cao Shu was also observing her with her after light!
Dignified and generous, charming and enchanting. No wonder Emperor Liu Hong favored her so much? This waist like a thin willow can't stand it even if a man can't stand it?
Cao Shu closed his eyes and did not look at him inappropriately!
I kept muttering in my heart.
No wonder, I heard rumors that there are many noble ladies who imitate Queen He in Hu clothes, but not many have significant effects. It seems that the core problem is not just Hu clothes, but waist, water snake waist!
...
"What's the matter with the emperor?" Emperor Liu Hong asked with his head raised, his tone as if he was in a good mood because of Cao Shu's previous words.
"I am here to apologize. Your Majesty's favorite wine, "Beauty Drunk", is not brewed. I am afraid that it will delay Your Majesty's drink." Empress He slowly walked to the emperor Liu Hong and bowed to his salute. "I found that the 'Beauty Drunk' in the wine cellar today, and I was thinking about brewing a few more jars, so I should not delay Your Majesty's drink, but I didn't expect that I could not find the grain."
Well? When it comes to "beauty drunk", Emperor Liu Hong actually had some aftertaste on his tongue. This is indeed his favorite wine to drink. He has to drink it every day, and only Queen He can make it.
"Where is the grain?" Emperor Liu Hong asked back. "The huge treasury? Can't you still take out some grains and cereals?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know that the reason why this fine wine is unique is because of this grain. All the grains I need to make wine are selected from Dunqiu Prefecture, 300 miles away from Kyoto. The soil is fertile and the environment is suitable, and even the grains grown add a little more aroma!"
Empress He told the Emperor Liu Hong about the "beauty drunk" of the fine wine. After saying this, she paused for a moment before continuing: "I remember that at the beginning of last year, there were a total of tens of thousands of hu of wheat, black beans, broad beans, and buckwheat offered to Duanqiu County. I used these grains to make a whole wine cellar, but this year, I went to the warehouse and found that there were no grains."
Speaking of this, Empress He showed a suspicious expression. "I thought there was something strange, so I went to check the warehouse. Only then did I realize that the taxes in Dunqiu County this year were only 10% of last year, and the wheat, black beans, broad beans, and buckwheat were not seen at all. In just one year, Dunqiu County has suddenly changed from the original tens of thousands of hu of grain to a small amount. I am puzzled. Why is this Dunqiu County like this? It seems... Last year, there was no famine in Kyoto within a thousand miles? I think there was something strange about this. If I don't report it to Your Majesty, I will feel uneasy."
call out…
Emperor Liu Hong was slightly stunned. As usual, he had no time to go to the warehouse to check how much the difference between taxes and vocations last year and this year. But, this matter was brought up by Empress He, and the more he talked about it, it became more and more mysterious. Emperor Liu Hong could not notice it. This matter was very strange?
Could it be that someone embezzled the grains from the warehouse privately? Or, Dunqiu County has no worship this year?
As soon as this thought arose, Emperor Liu Hong's face suddenly became gloomy. The grain depot and the national treasury were the same as that of the whole world. Only the emperor could embezzle it privately. How could he allow others to be so arrogant?
"Shi Shi Zhang? What's going on?" Emperor Liu Hong asked coldly.
This... Zhang Rang was about to cry. With a click, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground straight. His mouth stammered, but found that his throat was blocked tightly and he could not make any sound, but his face was red.
As for the reason...
It’s so great that the reason why Dunqiu County was able to offer thousands of hu of grain last year was because the magistrate of Dunqiu County was the indifferent young Cao Cao!
He collected all the land seized by the Dunqiu hero and distributed it to farmers. Wouldn't the offerings and taxes be high?
But this year, Cao Cao was dismissed. The Dunqiu Ling of this term was Zhang Rang's godson Zhang Feng. He joined forces with the Dunqiu powerful. It was good to be able to pay 10% of the offerings. Where... there is anything else?
But what about this? I can't tell you?
I'm good! How come Empress He will get involved, every word and sentence is about to help that naughty Cao Cao?
"You...Your Majesty..." Zhang Rang's tone stumbled, and he felt his head a little confused.
"Your Majesty, let me talk about it." Cao Jie, who had been silent for half a quarter of an hour, finally spoke...
In fact, today... his mood was like a roller coaster. His situation was undoubtedly dead, but was revived by Cao Shu's words. This was nothing. Cao Shu could argue, and Zhang Rang would prepare for a long time, so he would naturally have a set of rhetoric.
But, Queen He sent a "god assist"!
Present facts, present data, and reason.
In the past two years, the comparison between the offerings in Dunqiu County and the comparison between the old Dunqiu Cao Cao and the new Dunqiu Zhang Feng, the gap between the two is meaningful.
"Tell me." Emperor Liu Hong stretched out his hand to signal Cao Jie to continue.
"Your Majesty, last year, Dunqiu County was able to offer thousands of hu of grains because the magistrate of Dunqiu County was Cao Cao! I remember that Your Majesty always asked Lao Nu at that time, that Cao and others did a good job!" Cao Jie said everything about this, and even tried to arouse the memories of the emperor.
"Well? That Cao or something!" After being reminded, Emperor Liu Hong seemed to remember something. "I have some impression of that Cao or something, that Cao or something is Cao Cao!"
"Your Majesty." Cao Jie continued: "This student official, Cao Cao, even though he was nicknamed Qingniao in the court, he really had a good idea! Not to mention helping His Majesty free his official position in the Western Palace, he had a set of things to govern Dunqiu, pay taxes to the court, and offer grains! He could even make up ten thousand hu of grains, and the taxes were ten times higher than this year."
Speaking of this, "Oh..." Cao Jie changed the subject. "Think about it, Cao Cao was dismissed from this Qiu Ling. It seems that Zhang Feng, the godson of Zhang Changshi, was it? Oh, compared to that young Cao Cao, Zhang Feng's taxes are far less than the money and food!"
This casual sentence came out, and Zhang Rang was almost peeing...
This? What's the situation!
Dunqiu's powerful man sued Cao Cao for ten crimes, suppressing Cao Cao, implicating Cao Song and Cao Jie, this foolproof plan...
But why... I was turned around by the words of Cao Shu, the child, and... Queen He's so-called words?
Now, let alone falsely accusing Cao Cao, his side is still implicated by his godson Zhang Feng.
My mother is all her son, and the young Cao Cao's son helped his father to death and then gave birth to his father. How could our son be... able to play a good game of chess and lose all the games!
Go to the genius! What's the matter!
