Chapter 133: Advice Against Ears
Yishiju was in a turmoil, and after Yuan Nan and Yuan Yuan knew Jiang Xiaobai's identity, they knew that they had kicked the iron plate this time.
"Welcome back next time......"
After seeing Yuan Nan and Yuan Yuan lead the guards to leave, Jiang Xiaobai carefully put away the IOU with their handprints and handwriting.
Ten million dollars!
This money was worth 20,000 stone of grain, enough to feed an army of 15,000 men for half a year.
Hedong Wei family, 20 million money!
He Miao, 20 million dollars!
Runan Yuan, 10 million dollars!
It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, and now Jiang Xiaobai is also a rich man with a net worth of 50 million.
"No, no, no, you have to quickly arrange someone to ask for the debt, this Wei family and the Yuan family are both characters with heads and faces, why don't they have any consciousness at all, don't I mention it, they all think this thing doesn't exist!"
As for He Miao's IOU, due to the unfortunate death of the person concerned, Jiang Xiaobai decided to ask He Miao's brothers and sisters for it when he went to the palace to participate in the celebration banquet two days later.
"There is still half a gap from the small goal that Mr. Wang said, and there is still a long way to go, and I still need to work hard."
Just when Jiang Xiaobai was infinitely imagining a better future, Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang was preparing to leave with his subordinates, after all, Lin'an Street was the most lively street in Luoyang, and everyone had gathered in front of Yishiju for a long time, which had already caused a lot of impact.
"Handsome little brother, I'm leaving, you can do it yourself."
After saying hello casually, Sima Fang turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, Jiang Xiaobai grabbed him and invited him to eat.
"Lord Jiangong, there is such a movement in Yishiju today, which has caused you a lot of trouble, in order to apologize, I have prepared some thin wine for the younger generation, and I hope that Lord Jiangong will not blame."
While speaking, Jiang Xiaobai poured a glass of wine for Sima Fang and himself, and then he raised his glass to look at Sima Fang.
Nothing to do!
Sima Fang suddenly became vigilant, he picked up the wine glass but didn't drink it, but waited for Jiang Xiaobai's next words.
Being stared at intently by Sima Fang, Jiang Xiaobai felt weak in his heart, he smiled, and his face was shy: "I really can't hide anything from Lord Jiangong, the younger generation does have something to ask." ”
"That's right, I want to know about Cai's house."
"Cai Fu?"
Sima Fang frowned slightly, his sharp eyes like an eagle stared at Jiang Xiaobai: "What are you asking about Cai Mansion?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai sighed in his heart, thinking that Cai Fu was in big trouble, otherwise Sima Fangxuan would not be so cautious.
"Cai Yan, Cai Yong's daughter, is the fiancée of the younger generation."
Saying that, Jiang Xiaobai told Sima Fang about his relationship with Cai Fu, and he also took out the identity token of Taixue disciple that Cai Yong had handled for him at the beginning and handed it to Sima Fang.
"You're really Bo Jiao's son-in-law!"
The identity token cannot be faked, and after carefully examining Jiang Xiaobai's identity token, Sima Fang returned it to Jiang Xiaobai.
"Shuaizhi, don't blame the old man for being too sensitive before, I have been friends with Uncle Jie for many years, every once in a while, someone will always find various reasons to ask me about Uncle Brother's next road, and I have no choice but to do it."
Sima Fang drank the wine in his hand, and then he slammed the cup on the table with a crackling sound.
"It's all those damn eunuchs!"
Jiang Xiaobai's heart tightened: "Lord Jiangong, what happened to Cai Mansion?" ”
"It's a long story......"
Sima Fang sighed deeply.
Cai Yong, who is dedicated to studying literature, has never been interested in the intrigue between the DPRK and China, and he is quite low-key in his life.
However, a literary person like Cai Yong, in this era of emphasizing literature over martial arts, was deeply valued by Emperor Liu Hong, so Liu Hong once found Cai Yong and asked about the changes that have occurred in the world in recent years, such as wars, disasters and other related issues, and wanted to ask Cai Yong's opinion.
In this regard, Cai Yong is of course blunt.
The conversation was like this.
Emperor Liu Hong: "In recent years, there have been frequent disasters in the world, the Hu people have disturbed the border, and the plague in the Central Plains is rampant, all of this has started for some reason, the court has tried its best to think about it, I think of some pertinent words, you are knowledgeable, and you are a great Confucian in the world, so I specially invite you to come to clarify the gains and losses, point out the shortcomings of the court policy, don't be submissive, don't prevaricate me with the words of the scene, and don't look forward and backward for fear of offending people, you can speak freely, I will never spread today's affairs, and it will be kept absolutely confidential. ”
Emperor Liu Hong's sincerity and humble desire for advice made Cai Yong quite moved, since the emperor wants to govern the country well, then he naturally knows everything and says everything.
Therefore, Cai Yong went straight to the point, and said that the harem women and eunuchs interfered in politics and were one of the root causes of all these disasters, and then he took the opportunity to impeach the then Taiwei Zhang Hao, Guanglu Xun Weizhang, Captain Zhao Xuan, Captain Gai Sheng and others, saying that these people were corrupt and perverted the law.
After the impeachment of these people, Cai Yong recommended talents to Emperor Liu Hong, such as Guo Xi, the court captain, Qiao Xuan, the Guanglu doctor, and Liu Chong, the former Taiwei, and others, and he told the emperor Liu Hong that these people were all very thoughtful and talented people, and they could consult with them on the government.
Cai Yong said the truth, as Emperor Liu Hong initially expected, Cai Yong said all the advice, but the loyalty was contrary to the ear.
Emperor Liu Hong really wanted to manage the country well, so he summoned Cai Yong into the palace to ask Cai Yong's opinion, but ideas are ideas after all, when Cai Yong really pointed out the shortcomings of the imperial court, and impeached many corrupt courtiers, Emperor Liu Hong began to be embarrassed again.
It's like a person who makes up his mind to lose weight, but when the person knows that losing weight requires long-term exercise, and he can't eat hay stuff and can't be willful anymore, the person's idea of losing weight begins to waver.
It turns out that losing weight is so hard......
It turns out that it is so difficult to be a good emperor......
Like many people, Emperor Liu Hong finally gave up treatment, he felt that it was as hard as it was, but it was not that there was wine in the current dynasty and drunk in the present day, and the people impeached by Cai Yong were the most trusted people in Emperor Liu Hong's daily life.
Sincere advice...... Bad ears!
However, although Emperor Liu Hong did not intend to adopt Cai Yong's suggestion, this did not prevent him from admiring Cai Yong's outstanding talent, so he sent someone to respectfully send Cai Yong out of the palace.
Emperor Liu Hong and Cai Yong didn't know that although their conversation was top secret, Cao Jie still heard and saw it.
This Cao Jie is not Cao Cao's daughter.
This Cao Jie is a man, phew, he is not a man, because he is a eunuch.
Cao Jie served in Da Changqiu, and was responsible for harem affairs on weekdays, such as announcing the queen's will or something, he was the queen's personal little padded jacket, and he was the head of the eunuchs in the harem.
After hearing the conversation between Liu Hong and Cai Yong, Cao Jie immediately leaked the content of the conversation to Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, as well as those who were impeached by Cai Yong.
In this way, Cai Yong has become the target of public criticism.
All those who were impeached by Cai Yong, whether it was the ministers of the court and the central government, or Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and other cronies around Emperor Liu Hong, hated Cai Yong very much and tried to seek revenge.
