Chapter 3 Don't eat hard and soft
Since Cao Rong became seriously ill, the area around the dormitory has been listed as a forbidden area, and no matter whether it is an internal official or a foreign official, no one is allowed to see him without an edict.
At this time, someone suddenly came, which naturally made Cao Liang and Zhang Tong like a great enemy.
"Who?" Zhang Tong asked in a deep voice, and at the same time pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife.
Under the long steps, two slightly old faces were revealed, both of them were dressed in court clothes, as if they were in a hurry, and they looked a little out of breath.
However, the two of them obviously didn't care about Yu Linlang's questioning, and said arrogantly: "Zhongshu supervisor Liu Fang, Zhongshu Ling Sun Zi to see Your Majesty, don't wait for you to retreat quickly!" ”
Zhang Tong's expression froze, these two masters are the emperor's personal secretaries and confidants, third-grade officials, and they are definitely not something that they can offend these eight-rank Yu Linlang, Zhang Tong subconsciously took a half step back and made a way.
Liu Fang Sun Zi glanced indifferently, the dignity of their status naturally made them not to put Yu Linlang who guarded the palace gate in their eyes, and it was true that as the close servants of the Son of Heaven, it was already commonplace for them to go to and from the inner hall of the palace, in their eyes, Yu Linlang was just a few dogs guarding the door, and they didn't dare to stop them if they dared to do so.
Fang Cai Zhang Tong asked loudly, which had already annoyed Liu Fang and Sun Zi, in normal times, they would definitely reprimand a few words, but today's situation is special, they are in a hurry to face the saint, and they don't have time to pay attention to these guards at all.
Although Liu Fang and Sun Zi are officials of Zhongshu Province and belong to the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, they are also foreign ministers no matter how they say it, so when Cao Rong drew up the list of auxiliary ministers, they did not know about it at the first time.
Although Liu Fang and Sun Zi can't grasp first-hand secrets, they still have a very sensitive sense of smell after many years of wandering in the court, not to mention that Cao Rong is seriously ill, at this very moment, any little wind and grass will alert them.
At noon today, Xiahou Xian, Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and other three people went out of the palace together, and when they passed by the middle study, they were completely arrogant and proud, and Cao Zhao also pointed to a wild pheasant perched on a tree in front of the main hall and said: "It's too long, see how many days they can live!" ”
Cao Zhao is the son of the great Sima Cao Xiu, who is extremely handsome and personable, and has won the favor of Cao Ei.
Cao Rong has the good of Longyang, and it is not a secret in the palace curtains, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the male style prevailed, up to the Son of Heaven, down to the scholars, many people have this habit.
Cao Zhao relied on him as the emperor's good friend, and he was reckless in the palace, often gambling with him on his clothes to win or lose, even if he lost, he had to play a scoundrel, took Cao Rui's clothes from the palace, and showed them in front of the ministers. This is the origin of the allusion "gambling clothes".
The emperor is a good man, which is harmless, not to mention that the emperors of the Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty had many habits for this, and Cao Rong just acted according to the "convention".
However, due to the fact that the favored men are too much, so that the heirs are not prosperous, that is a major matter related to the society.
Cao Cao was energetic, had many wives and concubines, a total of twenty-five sons, although Cao Pi was a little inferior, but also gave birth to ten, but in Cao Ei's generation, there were a total of three sons, but unfortunately all of them died, and there was a crisis in the succession to the throne, and he could only inherit two sons from the clan: Cao Xun and Cao Fang.
According to this, Liu Fang and Sun Zi, who were the superintendent of the Chinese book, inevitably wrote a letter to advise, but Cao Rong didn't care if they listened to it or not, but the two really offended Cao Zhao.
Today, the abnormal behavior of Cao Zhao and others made Liu Fang and Sun Zi can't help but be alert, and seeing the appearance of a few people coming out of the palace proudly, the two secretly speculated that something big must have happened in the palace.
At the critical moment, Liu Fang was meticulous, he secretly sent someone to inquire about the eunuchs in the palace, spent a lot of money, and finally let him know about Cao Rong's entrustment.
After hearing the news, Liu Fang and Sun Zi were suddenly like a basin of cold water, and their faces were like ashes.
Among the five auxiliary ministers, three of them are their mortal enemies, if Cao Rong dies, I am afraid that the life of the two of them will be really sad, judging from the actions of Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and others, I am afraid that their own lives will be difficult to preserve.
As soon as the anxious old brothers were combined, they couldn't sit still, and they had to go to see the emperor alive and die to persuade Cao Rong to change his mind.
Even though they knew it was difficult, they had to give it a go.
So the two of them hurried to Jiafu Gate, and happened to bump into Zhang Tong and Cao Liang on duty.
The official university crushed people to death, not to mention that it was far more than one level worse, Zhang Tong had to give way even if he was a cow.
But Cao Liang didn't let it, but took half a step forward, completely sealing the route of Liu Fang Sun Zi into the palace.
Others may not know about Cao Liang, but he remembers these two goods clearly, it is precisely because these two guys are blowing wind in Cao Ei's ears that Cao Ei finally changed his mind, abolished the auxiliary political five, and replaced it with Cao Shuang and Sima Yi to assist the government.
It was precisely because of the persuasion of Liu Fang and Sun Zi that Sima Yi was able to ascend to the throne and finally seize Cao Wei's country, otherwise, no matter how great Sima Yi's ability is, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down.
Therefore, Liu Fang and Sun Zi are the real culprits, the real culprits of Cao Wei's country.
The purpose of their current entry into the palace Cao Liang was clear, so Cao Liang did not hesitate to block in front of him, blocking their way.
As long as they are not allowed to enter the palace, it will block Sima Yi's way to the throne.
After today's delay, everything is decided.
"You-"
Liu Fang and Sun Zi were furious, their palace Da Nei, which had always been unimpeded, would be blocked by a small Yu Linlang, and their noses were almost crooked.
"Presumptuous! You, a little Yu Linlang, dare to stand in the way of your own official, and delay the major event of the military aircraft, can you afford to be offended? Get out, before the official is angry, hurry up, otherwise the official will play the Ming Shengshang later, and I want your head! Sun Zi said angrily.
A big hat was buttoned down, Zhang Tong's face changed suddenly, and he secretly pulled Cao Liang's sleeve, signaling to him that we can't afford to provoke these two people.
But Cao Liang was unmoved, and said with a smile: "The two superiors, calm your anger, it's not that you want to block the way of the two of you, but where your responsibilities lie, and please do a lot of Haihan." Since the two officials want to enter the palace to face the saints, I wonder if there is a holy oracle from His Majesty? ”
Sun Zi was stunned, the oracle? The ghost only has that thing, but he still said stiffly: "This official has an urgent matter when he enters the palace, and it is a matter of safety for the community, and he needs to meet the saint in person." ”
"The palace has its own rules in the palace," Cao Liang said lightly, "According to the palace law, no one is allowed to enter the palace without His Majesty's holy decree. The two officials should go back, it's not too late to wait for His Majesty to go to court! ”
Comeback to the court? I'm afraid the daylilies are cold.
What's more, now that the emperor is so sick, is there still a chance to go to court?
Sun Zi's face was longer than the donkey's face, he never dreamed that he was a hot and powerful figure in the court, but he was blocked by Yu Linlang, who didn't even look down on him at all, but this kind of time was a matter of fate.
"Bastard thing! Do you know what you're doing? If you delay the military aircraft event, even if you grow ten heads, it will not be enough to compensate! Sun Zi roared.
Cao Liang said calmly: "I'm really sorry, the duty is, the responsibility is unshirkable, no one is allowed to enter the palace without the holy edict, this is an iron law, even if Your Majesty blames it, he will not dare to derelict his duties for personal gain." ”
Sun Zi was furious and stretched out his hand to push Cao Liang: "This official is going to enter the palace today, see how you can stop me?" ”
He also looked at Cao Liang's thin figure, relying on the old and selling the old, and wanted to forcibly push Cao Liang away.
However, even if Cao Liang's body is not hard, it is impossible to be inferior to Sun Zi, who is more than half a hundred years old and weak, Cao Liang saw him stretch out his hand, so he quickly flashed sideways, Sun Zi pushed the air with one palm, hit a stumble, and almost didn't fall to the ground.
Cao Liang took advantage of the time when his body was planted forward, brushed the ground and pulled out the saber in half, and the sharp blade directly crossed Sun Zi's neck, so scared that he almost lost his pants.
Liu Fang hurriedly pulled Sun Zi, the two took a few steps back, looking at the flickering saber, Sun Zi couldn't help but shiver from the bottom of his heart.
It was the first time in his life that his neck was pressed under the knife, and the feeling of being only one step away from the ghost gate made him shudder, and the arrogant arrogance he had before was suddenly gone.
"You...... You ......" Sun Zi pointed at Cao Liang with his hand, angry, "You dare to hurt this official with a knife, this official will sue you for the following crimes!" ”
Cao Liang smiled and said: "Shangguan's words are serious, how dare you hurt Shangguan with a humble position, it's just that the sword has no eyes, if Shangguan forcibly breaks into the palace ban, if he is not careful and hurts Shangguan, it will not be good for anyone, right?" ”
Liu Fang pulled Sun Zi back, whispered a few words secretly, and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "This little brother, I am waiting for Meng Lang, and I will ask Haihan if I am offended." Today, there is really a major matter related to the society to face Your Majesty, and there must be no delay, and I ask the little brother to be accommodating. ”
As he spoke, his right hand stretched out to Cao Liang, and in the sleeve, a jade pendant-like thing was faintly visible.
Cao Liang secretly sneered, this Liu Fang and Sun Zi are really thieves, if they can't do it, they will come to the soft one, and they want to take a piece of jade pendant to bribe themselves, but unfortunately, they made a mistake in their wishful thinking.
Cao Liang glanced at it, didn't reach out to pick it up, just said, "Ouch, good thing." ”
Liu Fang took a look at the door, and hurriedly said: "The little brother is a connoisseur of goods at a glance, this is a serious Hetian jade, and it is hard to find a thousand gold." The little brother can be accommodating one or two today, and there will be a good reward in the future. ”
Cao Liang smacked his lips, deliberately pretending to be a pity, and said, "The thing is good, but the head below is more important." Two officials, I'm really sorry, or you two should go back and wait, maybe Your Majesty will summon you two in a while. ”
Seeing that Cao Liang didn't eat soft and hard, and didn't eat oil and salt, Liu Fang and Sun Zi had nothing to do, so he could only retreat in a huff.
