The emperor naturally heard the discussion of everyone on the side, it seems that there is a reason for this person to dare to speak disrespectfully to the current eldest princess's personal guards, and he insults the poor people in his opinion by holding his own noble status, which can be seen from the tutor of the Cao Guo Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And this person seems to be involved in the crime of buying and selling official positions, it seems that the Cao Guo Mansion should really be rectified.

This guard's name is Cao Jun, and he is indeed the third son of the Duke of Cao Guo's mansion, and his father Cao Yuan is the latest Duke of Cao Guo.

To say that this Cao Yuan is actually not the biological son of the previous Cao Guogong, but inherited from the Cao family. This first Duke of Cao Guo was personally enthroned by the ancestor emperor, and he was hereditary, and if there was no heir, he would be taken back. At that time, Cao Jichu, who was named Cao Guogong, sacrificed his life to save the ancestor emperor when he drove the expedition, and the ancestor emperor was moved and remembered that he had made meritorious contributions many times, and after returning to Beijing, he named Cao Jichu as Cao Guogong, and for Cao Guogong, who was over 30 years old but had not yet married, he married the then jade princess to him.

More than ten years later, Cao Guogong was killed in a war with Western Qin, leaving only his son Cao Jinzhou, who was less than ten years old. This Cao Jinzhou fully inherited his father's bloodline, and was named the general of the expedition to the west at the age of 20, but he was jealous of his talents, and died young before the age of 30, and Cao Jinzhou never got married, so he did not leave an heir. Before dying, she asked the emperor who had succeeded to the throne to select a child from the side branch of the Cao family to pass under the knee of Cao Jinzhou, so that Cao Jichu would have a queen, otherwise she would have no face to see her husband on the Huangquan Road.

The first emperor thought about it, Cao's father and son all died on the battlefield for Dajing, so this request of the county lord of Yufei was reasonable, so he was granted.

Maybe it's because Cao Jichu's father and son both died on the battlefield, the county lord of Yu Fei went through strict selection this time, and selected a child who looked quiet and sensible to pass over, and after holding the ceremony of succession, he saw Cao Yuan's name recorded in the name of Cao Jinzhou by the patriarch of the Cao clan, and the county lord of Yu Fei also had a heart, and went that night.

This quiet and sensible child who has been strictly selected by the county lord of the jade concubine is naturally the current Cao Yuan, the prince of Cao Guo, and this Cao Yuan's current character and reputation If the county lord of the jade concubine knows underground, I am afraid that he will crawl out of the tomb in anger to accuse this man who has ruined the reputation of the Duke of Cao, and he will also blame himself for how the vision of picking people back then was so bad to pick such a scum.

Because this Cao Yuan is not only mediocre in qualifications, but also a well-known favorite concubine in Beijing to kill his wife, the original wife was oppressed by the aunt in the house, as early as two years after getting married, he moved to the Buddhist hall in the mountains, and there were more than a dozen concubines in the house. And so many aunts and concubines only gave birth to three sons, among which the eldest was a fool, and the second child had a serious illness when he was a child, resulting in no different from the eunuchs in the palace.

The daughters have given birth to a lot, but they are all showy people who only know how to dress up all day long, without the appearance of a beautiful daughter in the Guogong Mansion, and everyone privately says that it is Cao Yuan's retribution.

When Cao Jun was escorted up, Su Qingluan had already returned to his seat and sat down, and Zhao Hongsanren also returned to the regular team to stand up, but Su Jin didn't dare to sit, and the emperor didn't let him sit.

The emperor looked coldly at Cao Jun kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "You are the third son of the Duke of Cao Guo, Cao Jun?"

As soon as Cao Jun heard the emperor ask him, although he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked him to escort him over, he was still busy and hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the little one is exactly." ”

The emperor saw that he still didn't know why he was here, so he snorted, and Cao Jun immediately collapsed on the ground in fright, he grew so big or it was the first time to meet the current emperor, at this time, seeing that the emperor was dissatisfied with him without concealment, he didn't know what he did wrong for a while, just busy kowtowing.

The emperor didn't go around in circles with him, and said directly, "Just now you competed with the eldest princess's personal guards, why did you insult him? Not to mention that you were defeated in the end, your behavior like a hooligan in the market alone is not worthy of being a palace guard." ”

Today's incident is small and small, big and big, if it is small, it is just a small contradiction between the two sides of the competition, saying that Cao Jun pointed to Sang and scolded Huai for looking down on the eldest princess Su Qingluan. Therefore, the final result of this matter depends on the emperor's mood, and it also proves how much the emperor values Su Qingluan's position in the emperor's heart, so the final version of Cao Jun is related to the attitude of this group of ministers towards Su Qingluan in the future.

As soon as Cao Jun heard the emperor's words, his heart was a lot calmer, he thought that this matter was just a small contradiction between the people below them, at most, he would apologize in public to the woman who had just competed with him, after all, his father was Cao Guogong, and the emperor would not pursue too much for this trivial matter in his father's face, after all, the Cao Guogong Mansion was counting on him. The eldest brother and the second brother are a wasted person who can't give birth, and the other is a fool, so my father will definitely do his best to protect him.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun did not have the panic on his face just now, and said with a fixed sentence, "The little one is guilty, and the little one apologizes to the girl just now in public, and asks His Majesty to spare the little one, and the little one promises that there will be no next time." ”

When the emperor heard Cao Jun's words, he couldn't help but feel that the Duke of Cao Guo really had no successor, this Cao Jun was really stupid, if it was so simple to solve it, why did he have to take him over so much.

At this moment, a eunuch informed that Cao Guogong had arrived. The emperor ordered someone to bring Cao Guogong over.

As soon as Cao Yuan, the Duke of Cao Guo, came to the emperor, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake, and he did not feel embarrassed at all because of his identity. For so many years, Cao Guogong has been inactive and has a bad reputation, but he still sits firmly in Cao Guogong's position, because he doesn't care about face in front of the emperor at all, a big man kneels and cries like a woman, so that the emperor is not too harsh with him. But the tricks that used to be smooth sail seem to have no effect today.

Seeing that the emperor was unmoved, Cao Guogong couldn't help but scold Cao Jun in his heart. He had already inquired about the ins and outs of the matter on the way just now, Cao Jun couldn't understand it, but he knew it in his heart. It seems that the emperor is preparing to use the Cao Guo Mansion today to warn those ministers who are still in a wait-and-see state, Su Qingluan's position in his mind is quite important, don't try to provoke his patience. So today's battle is not easy to fight, it seems that the only way to be ruthless is Cao Jun to suffer a little flesh and skin today.

As for what Cao Guogong thought in his heart, he couldn't guess that the emperor was determined to severely punish Cao Guogong's mansion today, but the ministers who came to watch the battle together today knew it in their hearts.

Cao Jun didn't understand and had never seen his father crying so disregarding his image, he only felt that his father's appearance was too embarrassing, but now in front of the emperor, he didn't dare to stop his father.

When the emperor saw that Baoyuan used this old trick again, he didn't let him get up as before, and the ministers on the side didn't come to comfort or plead for mercy, which couldn't help but make Cao Guogong a little surprised, but he didn't dare to stop like this, and for a while, only Cao Yuan's cry echoed outside the Xuan Palace.

After a cup of tea, Cao Yuan's crying continued, but the ministers didn't say anything, because they had seen it countless times in the court. But the princesses and concubines of the harem have never seen a man cry in front of so many people like a woman. couldn't help but whisper.

The emperor looked at Cao Yuan acting there alone, and said with a sneer, "Cao Yuan, have you cried enough?"

Cao Yuan didn't expect that the tricks that had been tried and tested in the past were useless today, so he couldn't help but stop crying, choked up and said, "Your Majesty, everything is the minister's fault, and it was the minister's failure to discipline this rebel that made him make today's big mistake and offended Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please Your Highness severely punish this rebel, and the minister is willing to be punished." ”

A good move to retreat as advance, although this Cao Yuan has not done anything in the court, but he is very good at reading people's faces, this speech made Su Qingluan want to applaud him, but today he miscalculated. If today's Cao Jun is just because of the insult to Li Xianxian just now, at worst, it will only be a slap in Su Qingluan's face, and he will be expelled from the army and never hired. But now it is suspected of buying and selling official positions, and it is also the official position of the palace guard, and if it is big, it is to collude with others to deliberately rebel, and if it is not good, it is the crime of robbing the house and killing the head.

Su Qingluan took a sip of the tea that the palace maid had just sent at hand, it seems that it is not only Cao Guogong who is unlucky today, this Su Jin is afraid that he will not be able to continue to sit in the position of the commander of the palace guards. Presumably, my father had this intention in his heart, and today he just used Cao Jun's incident to pull them all up, and I am afraid that the person who mentioned Cao Jun's identity just now was also arranged in advance. Even if Cao Jun is not arrested today because of his affair with Li Xianxian, he will make a mistake because of other things.

"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly, making Cao Yuan tremble in fright, Cao Yuan really didn't understand why the emperor was so angry, and suddenly he remembered one thing, that is, Cao Jun was now on an errand in the palace.

In fact, Cao Jun's work was very secretive, three years ago, Cao Jun did go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to sign up for the army, but because the training in the barracks was too hard, he sneaked back in less than half a month. After he came back, he often caused trouble, so he was rushed to Jiangnan to follow his biological sister to study business until a few months ago, and he didn't return to the capital until a few months ago.

Thinking of this, Cao Guogong secretly looked at Su Jin by wiping his tears, but found that Su Jin's face was pale at this time, obviously caused by nervousness and fear in his heart, and his heart fell to the bottom for a while.
