The Imperial Palace of Luoyang City, the back garden of the West Palace.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was lazily lying on a Taishi chair, wearing orange and yellow civilian clothes, with a cotton blanket on his legs.

His face was a little pale, his hair was a little thinning, his lips were slightly pursed, his forehead and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were crowded together, and the bulging Adam's apple was also very obvious.

Not at all like the last young man in his twenties.

He looked at the bad old man in front of him who was kneeling on the ground with gray hair, and was a little speechless.

He was promoted to the rank of knight several times before, but this bad old man refused, and today, he took the initiative to come to the door, saying that the people in the dawn of the world are very miserable, and there are many corrupt officials and thieves, and then the heavens warned, the earth shook, and he wanted to return to the court to solve his worries.

The point is that this reason is above board, and I can't find anything wrong with it!

"Your Majesty's permission!" Qiao Gong's face was firm, and he pleaded again.

"Gong Qiao can share the worries of the court, and Gu is naturally full of joy, but Old Qiao, you are old and gray-haired, and you really can't bear to see you work so hard!"

Emperor Han Ling swore that this was definitely not a prevarication, but really a very sincere reason.

Because when Qiao Xuan was in a high position, he was honest and honest, not only did he never ask for more wages and did not eat kickbacks, but he also took out his salary to help the people in the city.

Liu Hong's grandfather Liu Shu when he was young, his grandmother Xia, his biological father Liu Chang died early, Liu Hong and his mother Dong depended on each other, Dong can only be diligent and thrifty, maintaining Liu Hong's glamorous appearance on the surface, Liu Hong is not particularly luxurious.

Later, Liu Hong inherited the throne, and life got better all of a sudden, but Liu Hong also developed a bad problem: greed for money!

Mainly because of Liu Hong's experience, Liu Hong learned a very important thing early: money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Qiao Xuan is an official, which is equivalent to Qiao Xuan taking his own money and supporting Liu Hong.

The key is that Qiao Xuan, a famous person in Shanghai, has a good reputation, he is an official, and the world will praise the emperor for his wisdom.

Such a player? Who doesn't like that?

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Minister... Minister! Only one question! ”

"Aiqing, please speak!"

"Lian Po is old, can you still eat!?"

Qiao Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Hong with deep eyes.

Liu Hong was silent, King Zhao was mediocre, there was no need to be honest, but would he Liu Hong be mediocre?

"Aiqing can enter the court as an official, Lone is naturally very happy! I don't know, what position does Aiqing want to live in? ”

Liu Hong asked tentatively.

"A traitor who can't be caught in a low position, a minister, and wants to be a lieutenant!"

Qiao Xuan got straight to the point!

Liu Hong was silent again, and the old eunuch behind him, who had been respectfully wearing official uniforms, also lowered his head even harder.

According to Qiao Gong's qualifications, it is not too much to ask for the position of a third duke, after all, he used to hold the position of Situ.

However, Liu Hong has his own plan!

Before the earth shook, it must have been because the three princes did not have a prudent karma, and the heavens and the earth sent disasters to warn.

Otherwise, can it be that you don't have a business?

So he plans to remove a third prince from his post to show that he is absolutely wise and absolutely on the side of God!

And if there is a vacant position, there will naturally be people competing, such as Duan Cheng, a doctor in Taizhong, who was born with battlefield merits, strong ability, and sufficient qualifications.

The key family expressed their stance through the old eunuch behind him, with 10 million yuan in his hand, and he was willing to donate to the court.

Such a loyal and honest person, can you not support and cooperate? Therefore, this time, he removed the post of lieutenant who was nominally in charge of military affairs, and planned to leave it to others.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! If Your Majesty thinks that the minister's ability is not enough, and the virtue is not enough, the minister will not embarrass Your Majesty, and the minister will hang himself when he goes back to protect His Majesty's wisdom! ”

Qiao Xuan's language was poignant, and Liu Hong couldn't help but be moved.

"Your Majesty, the minister met Your Majesty today, and several officials have learned that if the minister is still in white clothes, the minister, the minister is ashamed, Your Majesty!"

Liu Hong slowly smiled, as if he understood what Qiao Xuan meant.

After all, people are so old and so senior, and if they don't give face to others, where will they put their old faces? Besides, if Qiao Xuan feels ashamed when he goes home and commits suicide, then where is my wisdom?

Haven't I become a faint king?

"Qiao Gong's meaning, I have understood, I can order Shang Shutai to draft an official document, the position of Tai Lieutenant, it should be you Qiao Xuan!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qiao Xuan respectfully and heartily thanked him.

One person rejoices, and the other sorrows.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

The old eunuch in official uniform behind Liu Hong suddenly took a step forward and knelt down beside Qiao Xuan.

This behavior was originally very transgressive, but Liu Hong didn't seem to care at all, and there was nothing unnatural about the kneeling old eunuch.

Qiao Xuan glanced at the man deeply, he naturally knew:

This person is called Cao Jie, and he began to serve Liu Hong when Liu Hong was 12 years old, and he was also the great Changqiu of the dynasty.

Liu Hong was even more helpless, he didn't understand why Cao Jie was so stupid today!

People just want to be an official for a month or two to save their face, and it will be good to withdraw when the time comes! Didn't that money come yet?

Besides, if the money is sent, won't there be a Situ Yuan Kui!

Therefore, in the past, even if Liu Hong would not adopt Cao Jie's words, he would listen attentively, but this time he didn't, Liu Hong waved his hand to indicate that the matter had been decided.

"Old Qiao, what's going on?"

The one who asked was the coachman who drove Qiao Xuan in a carriage today, but this coachman was short, dark, and thin, and he was very familiar with Qiao Xuan.

"Something has been done!"

Qiao Xuan laughed and got into the carriage with his feet raised.

"Don't say Sangong, even the Jiuqing family can take a few tall and majestic men with loud voices to drive, and you, Old Qiao, are you willing to call me here, aren't you afraid of losing someone!"

The car didn't seem to be polite at all, and it was a casual joke.

"Meng De drove for me, I don't feel ashamed, I'm Qiao Xuan afraid of losing someone!"

If Lu Ying was here, he would definitely be shocked!

This inconspicuous man pulling a cart turned out to be Cao Cao! Suppress the Yellow Turban, crusade against Dong Zhuo, defeat Yuan Shao, and blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes of Wei Wu Emperor Cao Boss in another time and space!

It turned out that Boss Cao had offended the eunuch group before he killed him, but due to the relationship between his father Cao Song, Boss Cao was promoted and secretly surrendered, and was transferred to Dunqiu as the county commander.

Who would have thought that Boss Cao was a young man after all at this time! Not only is it not a little more restrained, but it is full of big things!

All, there is no doubt that he offended the local magnates again, plus his brother-in-law Song Qi was killed by the eunuchs and was implicated, and with the joint efforts of many parties, Boss Cao's company is gone! He was relegated to a white body!

Therefore, he came to Luoyang with nothing to do, of course, he wanted to meet Qiao Xuan, a master in the world.

Who returned to Qiao Xuan and saw Boss Cao, and made the most successful sycophant in his life: If the eunuch party and government are about to have turmoil today, aren't you the one who can stabilize the world?

Get! The two became friends in this way!

And Qiao Xuan's son had an accident a few days ago, Cao Cao felt deeply guilty, so he moved to Qiao Xuan's house, eating and drinking, that day Yang Qiu came to Qiao Xuan to talk about things, Qiao Xuan did not deliberately avoid Cao Cao, all, Cao Cao knew everything.

"Gong Qiao, where are we going at this time?"

"Meng De, let's go, Sili Captain Yang Qiu Mansion!"
