Cao Rong put down the song, put his hands in the wide sleeves, and gently held them together.

It's Cao Miao again.

After returning from the hunting tour, he was not in a good mood. The long journey made him feel tired, and the undercurrent of the court made him unable to rest for a moment.

However, after leaving Luoyang for a few months, there were rumors that he died in Chang'an and wanted to support Cao Zhi, the king of Yongqiu, as the emperor. When he heard the news, he scoffed. The opponent is too clumsy to even bother with it. But what he didn't expect was that such a clumsy rumor actually spread and the world knew about it.

This is naturally pushed by someone behind the scenes, hoping that he will kill Cao Zhi. But their target is not Cao Zhi, but him. They hoped to force him to continue the national policy of the first emperor, give preferential treatment to the scholars, and further implement the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and penetrate into every corner of the empire.

This is naturally a counterattack to him for turning Chen Qun into a commonplace and slowing down the implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

The matter would have been clear and not difficult to deal with. The investigation cannot be traced, it can only be dealt with coldly, and he also replied to the Empress Dowager in this way. But he never thought that Cao Zhi was fine, but Cao Zhi's son Cao Miao was restless, and he actually made such a thing as Emperor Wu's dream.

What does he want to do? Reclaim the throne that rightfully belongs to him? That's not realistic. In addition to the Empress Dowager and Princess Qinghe, there are only a handful of people who still support Cao Zhi at the moment, even if he really dies, the throne will not return to Cao Zhi.

If he really thinks so, he's either crazy or stupid.

Originally, he wanted to ignore it and wait for the matter to subside naturally. I never thought about it, but now there is another inner pill technique, which makes him can't help but re-examine this matter.

"Sun Qing, Liu Qing, what do you think of this Inner Dan Technique?" Cao Rong raised his eyelids and calmly looked at Sun Zi and Liu Fang.

Sun Zi bowed his hand. "Your Majesty, Sun Yong is obsessed with immortal Taoism, neglecting political affairs, and has been entrusted by His Majesty, so he should be held accountable and set an example."

Cao Rong looked at Liu Fang. Liu Fang was thoughtful. "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that the Bao Xun case originated from Sun Yong's involuntary entry into the forbidden camp. The first emperor was magnanimous, but he was punished and retained, and His Majesty paid a heavy responsibility after succeeding to the throne. Now it seems that he did not attract the lesson, and actually regarded a patient's crazy words as a shortcut to becoming an immortal, which was not in the body of a minister. ”

Cao Rong hummed softly and did not say anything more about this topic. Sun Zi and Liu Fang's opinions are very unanimous, and their attitudes are resolute, there is nothing to discuss about this matter, at least there is no point in discussing it with them.

"The murder of Wang Tai, the eunuch of Yongqiu State, has it ever been investigated?"

Sun Zi bowed his hand and bowed again. "There are some suspicious points in this case, and personnel are being sent to investigate thoroughly."

"What kind of suspicion?"

Yin Mo, the school officer, said in a letter that Han Dong, the school clerk involved in the case, ...... He did not admit his guilt, but he refused to say who framed him, and he wanted to face His Majesty. He ......"

Cao Rong frowned slightly and looked at Sun Zi unhappily. The emperor replied, what is the purpose of spitting and spitting?

Sun Zi was apprehensive in his heart and bowed to the ground. "Yin Mo said that Han Dong found clues about the jade seal of the school."

Cao Ei's face changed slightly. He has been studying military politics with his eldest father, Emperor Wu, since he was a child, and naturally knows the school affairs jade seal, which is commonly known as the jade seal. After this jade seal disappeared, Emperor Wen investigated for a long time, and even faced King Yongqiu face to face for this reason, but in the end there was no result. Now that he suddenly appeared in the world again, could it be that Emperor Wu was dissatisfied with the situation and wanted to speak?

But why didn't he give me a dream, but a dream for Cao Miao, who had been suffering from madness for ten years?

Cao Ei's face quickly regained his calmness, but there were waves in his heart. He didn't say anything to Sun Zi and Liu Fang, and ordered someone to pass on Yin Mo to meet him, and brought Han Dong, the school involved.

Sun Zi and Liu Fang withdrew from the main hall and walked towards the Zhongshutai.

"Yanlong, do you think this Cao Miao is really crazy or fake crazy?" Liu Fang couldn't help but say.

"The dignified prince, if he wasn't really crazy, would he tear people up like a mad dog, and bite off half of someone's finger?" Sun Zi glanced at Liu Fang. "Actually, I hope he is pretending to be crazy, in this way, pretending to be Emperor Tuowu will be enough to touch His Majesty's scales."

Liu Fang couldn't help but smile and echoed: "Yes, I see that Your Majesty's face just now is not very good. For our majesty, this is a rare gaffe, and it can be seen that it has hit a sore spot. ”

Sun Zi didn't smile, frowned, was silent for a moment, and said: "Zi Qi, our majesty is very different from the first emperor, but it is quite a legacy of Emperor Wu, you and I have to be cautious." Recently, those shafts have become more and more noisy, and I heard that Situ has spoken out, and he wants to go to the sparse and ban flashiness. ”

Liu Fang smiled bitterly: "Yanlong is right, it should be beaten. But you don't have to worry too much, there are four congs and eight masters in front, and Sanyu is just a tail, and it will not be sharp. It's my family's ignorant erector who runs for Gao Xun like a servant, which is really annoying. Even if His Majesty doesn't say it, I want to beat him up. ”

Sun Zi glanced at Liu Fang sympathetically and laughed loudly.

——

In the main hall, Cao Rong sat behind the imperial case, reading the book, his expression was focused, and even a little dignified.

Yin Mo and Han Dong knelt in front of Cao Rong, and they didn't even dare to come out.

This is the last chance, not only for Han Dong, but also for Yin Mo. Sun Yong's recital has been presented to the Son of Heaven, and if Han Dong cannot convince the Son of Heaven that he is wronged, he will inevitably face the death penalty of murder. The officials' hatred for school affairs has been around for a long time, Han Dong killed people and robbed money, and his crime was unforgivable, and even Yin Mo, who was covering him, could not escape death.

News has already spread from Tingwei Temple that as long as Han Dong enters Tingwei Temple, he will definitely die. They must also fight for their lives.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Rong closed the book, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Han Dong, and then his gaze fell on Yin Mo's face. "In addition to Wang Tai's own confession, is there any other evidence?"

Yin Mo bowed and saluted. "The minister sent someone to check, and what Wang Tai did was consistent with what Han Dong said."

Cao Rong did not ask again, on the point that Wang Tai falsely accused Cao Zhi's father and son, Han Dong and Sun Yong's statements were consistent. This is also understandable, there are precedents of Wang Ji and Cangji, and there are many people who want to grab the qualifications from Cao Zhi.

"Have you ever seen the school affairs jade seal?"

Yin Mo secretly glanced at Han Dong and swallowed his saliva. "Your Majesty, the minister and Han Dong were both late in entering the company, and they didn't know about the school affairs before, but after Han Dong came back this time, the minister asked the old man in the temple about it, and he knew that it was indeed there, but it had been lost for a long time."

Cao Rong turned to Han Dong. "How is the illness of the eldest prince of Yongqiu, has it improved?"

Han Dong gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to vouch for his life, not only is he not good, but he is even more crazy." ”

"When you were in Yongqiu, did you ever hear of the Inner Dan Technique?"

Han Dong was confused. "I've never heard of it."

Cao Rong lowered his eyelids, flicked his fingers, and squeezed a word out of his thin lips. "Check."
