"Hehehe" A hearty laugh came: "Although the old man is not out of Beijing, he has already heard of the great reputation of the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, and today I finally see it, what a happy life!" ”

Nan Ying looked at the kind old man who walked into the hall quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, this Cao Song was quite different from what he imagined. Cao Cao was born with an unremarkable appearance and a short stature, while his father was a great figure and a childish face.

Could it be a misorigin? Nan Ying guessed maliciously in his heart, but with a warm smile on his face, he got up and said, "The last general, Nan Ying, welcome Da Honglu!" ”

"General Nan is polite!" Cao Song returned the salute, but looked at Nan Ying, and said with surprise on his face: "The general is famous all over the world, and he is so young?" What a shame on us old people! ”

Although Nan Ying knew that he was talking about the scene, he still couldn't help but be moved by the sincerity on his face, and his heart was relieved, and he smiled: "Where is it, in the future, I still need the seniors to dial more!" Dahonglu, please take a seat! ”

The two sat down as guests of honor and exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Nan Ying saw Cao Song's hesitant expression, and knew that he was thinking about what he was talking about, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and said: "Da Honglu, Ling Lang Cao once had a relationship with the last general, and he had a very good relationship. I haven't seen you for a long time now, I don't know what's going on? ”

Cao Song was stunned to meet Nanying's eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, and he was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "The general asked knowingly, but the old man still wants to thank the general for his compassion." ”

He said calmly: "Since the child was involved in the incident, the old man has known that something is wrong, but there is no way to remedy it. Yesterday, the child was taken away from the Huangmen North Temple Prison, and the old man knew that the matter had reached a critical moment! Only then did he visit the prominent and powerful people in Beijing and beg them to reach out and save them! ”

Cao Song's eyes suddenly burst into muddy tears, and he said in a dumb voice: "Life is warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, the old man has been running around all day, and no one dares to come forward to plead with the Son of Heaven for the old man!" ”

"Actually, you can't blame them all!" Nanying listened with compassion in his heart, an old man did not hesitate to bow his head and beg for his son, but he ran into walls everywhere, which is indeed worthy of sympathy. He sighed and said: "Even if Ling Lang did not participate in the rebellion, but those who did not report it were guilty of the same crime, this is ironclad evidence, no wonder no one dares to speak for Da Honglu!" ”

"Nope! There is also one person who can speak for children! Cao Song's eyes shot a burning begging color: "That's General Nan, you!" ”

"The last general?" Nan Ying smiled secretly in his heart, but shook his head solemnly and said, "Da Honglu may not know yet, right?" The last general has just accepted the emperor's order and has full authority to investigate the case, of course, he can only act more impartially, how can he bend the law for personal gain? ”

"General, how dare the old man ask you for favoritism?" Cao Song begged in a mournful voice: "It's just that there are two people who point out to the old man, saying that as long as he asks the general for this matter, the general will have a good plan!" ”

"Oh?" A sharp light flashed in Nanying's eyes, is this someone stumbling on himself? He said lightly: "I don't know which two masters they are?" How did the last general know that this was not the enemy provoking the relationship between Da Honglu and the last general? ”

"The general is too worried!" Cao Song looked at Nanying's gradually sinking face, and couldn't help jumping in his heart, so he had to say truthfully: "It's Zhang Rang, the middle attendant, and Yuan Shao, the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang!" ”

Nan Ying was surprised in his heart, Zhang Rang would say this, of course, he shouldn't be instigating, but he was afraid that it was really inconvenient to open his mouth to the Son of Heaven, so he pushed this tricky matter to himself. And what about Yuan Shao? He has no friendship with him, and he has never even met, so why would he suggest this? Is it because Mullen is pointing out from it? In this way, it seems that Zhang Rang and Ma Lun must help with this favor.

At the same time, Chun Yuqiong's words seemed to echo in his ears again: If you investigate this case carefully, you must think carefully about everything....... the words "careful" and "thoughtful" are indeed intriguing, are you advising yourself not to overkill?

His mind flashed, but his mouth muttered, "It turned out to be these two." It seems that in terms of reasonableness, public and private, the last general really has to do his best! Da Honglu is ready to let the last general help, please speak up! ”

Cao Song's face flashed with irrepressible ecstasy: "Thank you general, the old man doesn't dare to embarrass the general, I just want to ask the general to show the Son of Heaven the old man's intention to atone for his sins." I beg the Son of Heaven to be sympathetic to the old minister, who only has two sons, and Cao is the eldest son who inherits the family business, can he be extrajudicial and gracious? As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"There is no problem in passing the word to the Son of Heaven!" Nan Ying was slightly curious: "But I don't know how Da Honglu plans to atone for his sins?" Will it be able to impress the Son of Heaven? ”

"The old man donates money!" Cao Song wiped away the tears and said: "The old man knows very well that now the court can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, but money and food are stretched thin and unsustainable!" The old man is incapable of contributing to the court, but he has a small family property, and he is willing to give everything he has to solve the urgent needs of the court! ”

He glanced at Nanying's face and said in a low voice: "Also atone for the child!" ”

"Contributions, Da Honglu does have the sincerity to share the worries of the Son of Heaven! Please use tea! Nanying raised his hand and picked up the teacup in his hand to signal, and blew the floating leaves carelessly: "But I don't know how much Da Honglu can donate?" ”

"How about 10,000,000 dollars?" Cao Song's voice reached Nan Ying's ears, and his hands trembled in shock, and he almost knocked over the tea cup in his hand, and said in a lost voice: "How much?" ”

"It seems that the general still has no heirs, right? So I can't fully understand the old man's heart! Cao Song looked at the look of consternation on Nan Ying's face, and said softly: "If you can spend money to save my son's life and the peace of the Cao family, what if you go bankrupt?" ”

"Human life and tranquility are the most important treasures!" He said heavily: "As for the money? If you don't bring it in life, you don't take it away in death, you can earn it again when you spend it! What is the use of it? ”

"Well said!" Nanying was stunned for a long time before exclaiming. Some of Cao Song's thoughts are very similar to his own, as a person of this era, being able to say such things is already transcendent.

Nanying glanced at Cao Song deeply, there were no impurities in the old man's eyes, only strong feelings and calm calmness, he suddenly stood in awe, this one in front of him was really a true and affectionate elder, it seems that he has helped with this favor. Or is Cao Cao the protagonist of this era, no matter how he is in danger, he will be aura, and there is no danger?

Nanying laughed to himself. Whether you are friend or foe in the future, or whether you live or die, let's wait and see! If you're done now, isn't the fun of dominating the world boring? Only the stronger the opponent, then it can be regarded as a challenge for yourself!

He smiled lightly, Huo Ran got up, and said categorically: "Since this is the case, if you don't say anything more, you will immediately enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven!" Dahonglu, I'm not far away! ”

"What?" Cao Song obviously didn't expect Nanying to be so resolute, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but tremble violently, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down his cheeks again.

He straightened up tremblingly, and arched his hand: "Nanying Yang, thank you for your great kindness!" No matter whether you succeed or fail, you are the benefactor of my Cao family! ”

"Ten thousand dollars? Equivalent to market value, it is ten thousand gold! Emperor Ling's eyebrows raised: "I have long heard that Cao Song is an old man who makes money, but I didn't expect to be so rich!" You can take out 10,000 gold casually! I really underestimated him! ”

"What does Nanqing mean?" Emperor Ling pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Since you immediately entered the palace to see me for this matter, I'm afraid that you have the heart of fulfillment, right?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Nanying had already made a good case on the way here, and said unhurriedly: "It's not that the younger brother intends to exonerate him, it's just that Cao Cao has no evidence of rebellion, and he will be severely punished just for a crime of knowing and not reporting, I'm afraid it's too far-fetched!" ”

"After I heard that Cao Cao is a member of China and North Korea, he himself can be regarded as a cadre, so it is better to be lightly dismissed!" Nan Ying stared at Emperor Ling's face and said slowly: "Cao Songken took out so much money to donate to the court, if he didn't return the favor, it seems that he can't say anything, right?" ”

"I am very short of money, but what if Cao Cao is indeed a traitor of the Heavenly Stems Branch?" The Spirit Emperor frowned and said, "Then wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain?" The gains outweigh the losses! ”

"He's a sexagenary? Didn't Your Majesty say it all: there is no evidence! Nanying smiled and said, "What's more, who are those thieves of the Heavenly Stem Branch?" Anti-His Majesty is also anti-China and North Korea, after Cao Cao is the Chinese Dynasty, isn't he digging his own grave? ”

"Yes! Makes sense! Emperor Ling's finger lightly tapped on the dragon table: "If he is really a branch of heaven and earth, he will not reply to reject Wang Fen's rebellion!" ”

"Your Majesty is right!" Nanying hit the railway while it was hot: "Now that the Yellow Turban is fixed, the Liangzhou rebellion has risen again, not only do people need money to eat and chew, but they still have to spend money to be rebuilt in various places, and this 10,000 gold is a huge amount of money!" How many soldiers loyal to His Majesty can be fed, and how many people can be saved? ”

He paused for a moment before he said: "Which is more important here, with Your Majesty's wisdom and sage, of course, you can see it more thoroughly than your younger brother!" ”

"Okay!" Emperor Ling finally spoke: "According to Nanqing's discussion, this matter is up to you!" ”

"What a Cao Cao, a cheap life is worth ten thousand gold!" Emperor Ling suddenly smiled slightly, and said to himself: "It's really a golden body!" ”

"Phew! He's bullshit? Nan Ying said with a shy face: "The body of ten thousand gold can only be used on the Son of Heaven, and he is also worthy?" It's just that with the grace of heaven under the control of His Majesty's leniency and the mind of all rivers, he has the opportunity to spend 10,000 gold to redeem a dog's life! ”

"It's kind of interesting!" Emperor Ling narrowed his eyes, drunk as if drinking fine wine, and said happily: "If these words came from someone else's mouth, I would definitely think that he was a flatterer, but from the mouth of the virtuous brother, I heard it comfortably!" ”

"However, this matter still needs to be carefully considered!" He suddenly frowned again and said, "I can't accept money from my courtiers for no reason, right?" can't openly say that it is to redeem Cao Cao's life, there must be a reason! ”

He stood up, paced back and forth on the dragon steps a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Didn't Cao Song say before that he wanted to buy the position of Tai Lieutenant?" Good! I will grant him what he wants, and buy the captain with 10,000 gold! ”

"That's it!" Emperor Ling was sure in his heart, and immediately his thoughts welled: "Lock Cao Cao up for a few more days, and after his father pays the money to take office, he can be released!" But there must be no impunity...... Well, retain his position as a cavalry captain, cut off the year's salary, and then be grounded for half a year and think about it behind closed doors! ”

Nanying was dumbfounded when he heard this, but Emperor Ling suddenly became excited, he kept pacing back and forth, and said quickly: "This is a way to make money!" There are so many people involved in the case this time, if most of them can come up with money, why should I worry about the lack of military funds and the lack of national treasury? And most of these people kill too much, indulge too lightly! punished them for bankrupting their families, so that they could meet my wishes! ”

He stopped abruptly and said to Nan Ying: "Nanqing, you have made another contribution, that is, you have awakened me, how to deal with those who have ill intentions!" These people have no king, no father, no benevolence, no heart, no lungs, and no courage! What's going on in your head? It's yourself, it's your family, it's money and land! ”

"Hey, hey! I think about everything, but I don't want to be loyal to the country! Emperor Ling's cold laughter spread throughout the hall, making Nanying feel cold all over his body: "Then I will hit them in the sore spots, dig into their hearts, and suck their flesh and blood dry!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Nan Ying said in a trembling voice, a trembling in his heart, and a terrible thought spontaneously arose: Could it be that he is the real driving force behind Emperor Ling's betrayal of the official mantle?

Sure enough, I only heard Emperor Ling say in a deep voice: "Nanqing, you continue to handle this case!" Whoever finds out the truth is killed! All the possessions in the house, copy! can't find out much of a problem, so they go to the West Garden to buy officials, of course, at this price, you have to put their blood enough! ”

He smiled coldly: "Not only that, I want to fully liberalize the system of selling officials, all incumbent officials must pay a sum of money to continue to perform their duties, and those who are promoted or transferred have another price!" ”

The legendary history finally became a reality, and Nanying was like a lightning strike, and shouted in horror: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" ”

"Why not?" Emperor Ling looked at Nanying in surprise: "Isn't this what you and Jia Wenhe proposed to me in the first place?" I'm just going to draw it up with a charter for all officials! ”

"This, it's different!" Nan Ying's heart turned sharply, and he reluctantly argued: "We proposed this day only for some people who may be traitors, and we want to use their eagerness to enter the urn, how can Your Majesty target all officials in the world now......"

"Needless to say!" For the first time, Emperor Ling showed impatience: "If Nanqing has a better way to solve the current huge shortage of money and food for military supplies and disaster relief, I will immediately dispel the idea of selling officials, do you have it?" ”

Nanying stopped suddenly, unable to say a word. After a long time, he said weakly: "But does Your Majesty still remember?" At that time, when you and I talked about the way to govern the country, we all believed that governing the country was to govern the officials first, and then to forgive the people. If the officials can only spend money to buy officials, then they will definitely force back the losses from the people thousands of times, and in the long run, the country will not be a country! ”

"How long is it going? Now that the country is in danger, I must weigh the pros and cons! A look of hesitation flashed on Emperor Ling's face, and he finally waved his hand and said, "Let's get through this most urgent day first!" If the world is stable in the future, I should stop selling officials! ”

Seeing that Nan Ying still wanted to speak, he brushed his sleeves and said, "Brother Xian, I have never brushed your face, but not this time!" ”

"Unless, you want to sit back and watch me lose the country!" The Spirit Emperor's always soft tone suddenly revealed a faint hint of tranquility, and he said word by word: "Are you willing?" ”

These four words were like four boulders, pressing Nan Ying's heart, blocking his eyes black, and he couldn't say half a word anymore.
