Volume 1: Luoyang Fengyun in the Troubled Times Chapter 38 The Eunuch's Revenge
Luoyang, inside the Imperial Palace.
A small chamberlain was saying something to an old man with a gloomy face, and the old man's face was as gloomy as water as if he had heard something unpleasant.
At this time, I only listened to the old man's suspicious questioning of the little eunuch.
"Is that true?"
"Ten slaves and maidservants... No! A hundred dares, and the slaves and maids did not dare to deceive Cao Gong, and His Majesty was about to be angry at that time. ”
The old man's face was uncertain, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but boil.
"Zuo Feng, you have done a good job this time, if there is anything in the future, it will be the same as this time, report it to our family immediately, our family is indispensable for your benefits."
Zuo Feng was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Thank you Cao Gong! In the future, if there is something going on with Your Majesty, the slave and maid will definitely report it immediately! ”
"Hmm"
The old man replied noncommittally, he had heard too much like this.
"Go down."
The old man waved his hand casually.
"Whew... The slave and maid retired. ”
Zuo Feng responded, and then retreated cautiously.
"Bang! Crash......! ”
There was a crisp sound, and the fragments of the teacup were scattered all over the ground.
But it was the old man who couldn't hold back his anger anymore after Zuo Feng left.
"It seems that our family is still too merciful, Ling Er and others feel that our family is easy to bully!
Hum... You wait, wait, wait! If you don't take revenge, our Cao Jie will not be a man! ”
This old man is Cao Jie, originally, he is very happy today, and his relatives have sent him a lot of goods, which makes him very satisfied.
I was still thinking in my heart: I am still loyal to my family, unlike outsiders, a group of white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it!
Just when he was beautiful, he arranged for Zuo Feng, who was serving the emperor, to come to report it, saying that Xun Yu and others had collected evidence of his crimes and wanted to put him to death, how could Cao Jie not be angry?
At this time, I only listened to his muttering to himself.
"You look down on our family too much, how can just the evidence of the crime put our family to death?
Our family is more favored by Bill and others, and in His Majesty's place, our family's words are proof! ”
After speaking, he hurried to Emperor Han Ling, and halfway through, Cao Jie stopped, looked at his shoes, and then looked at the neat clothes on his body, and with a roll of his eyes, he came to an idea.
Harem, where Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty lived
"Good! It's really a fairy wine! ”
Emperor Han Ling was holding a palace maid up and down his hands, and the other hand was holding a wine cup and taking a sip from time to time, very comfortable and leisurely.
At this time, Zhang Rang was waiting for Emperor Ling of Han, and when he heard this, he immediately begged.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, the slave maid is here, just smelling the aroma of the wine, it is already a little drunk, you can see the beauty of this wine.
Such a fine wine can only be drunk by a true dragon emperor like His Majesty, and other people drink this wine, just like a cow chewing a peony, spoiling the scenery. ”
"Hahaha..."
Emperor Han Ling laughed.
"You slave can listen to you, but..."
Emperor Han Ling paused when he said this, and his eyes seemed to be glowing with golden light.
"I am the Son of Heaven, and all the subjects of the world are like my descendants, how can I enjoy the wine alone? A hundred gold and a jar? Hey... Hahahaha"
Thinking that he could have countless money in his account, Emperor Han Ling smiled from ear to ear.
Zhang Rang was on the side, knowing that Emperor Han Ling loved money, so he said happily.
"Your Majesty is really a benevolent king, then Li Zhi is just a white body, so he sold the wine for a hundred gold, and His Majesty's Ninety-Five Honor also sold for a hundred gold, which shows that Your Majesty really thinks about the people of the world."
When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he was first happy, and then his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, and he was thoughtful.
"What you said is reasonable, I am the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can I be like that Li Zhi, this wine is indeed sold cheaply.
What if... A thousand gold? In ancient times, there was a saying that there was a thousand gold, and now I sell this immortal wine, and a thousand gold and a jar are not expensive, right? ”
When Zhang Rang heard that Emperor Han Ling wanted to sell a thousand gold altars, his legs were weak, and he was almost frightened by Emperor Han Ling's words.
He smiled bitterly in his heart.
"It's not easy for this wine to be sold for a hundred gold and a jar, a thousand gold? Your Majesty... You really dare to think about it.
Our family too, knowing that His Majesty loves money, why did our family mention this, if no one buys it at that time, isn't it our family that eats melons? ”
Zhang Rang slapped himself countless times in the bottom of his heart, and cautiously watched Emperor Han Ling speak
"Your Majesty is right, but...
Your Majesty, there are not many people in the world who can take out a thousand gold at once, and many people are afraid that if they want to drink this wine again, they will have more than enough heart and not enough strength.
The slave and maid begged Your Majesty to be merciful, and the price of each altar was two hundred gold, so that these drunkards could feel the grace of the king, and at that time, the whole world would be grateful to Your Majesty for his kindness. ”
When Emperor Han Ling heard this, his face sank at first, then he fell into deep thought, and finally nodded reluctantly and said
"What you say is good, that's it, I will be merciful, and I will pay two hundred!"
"Whew..."
Zhang Rang exhaled secretly in his heart, quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was relieved in his heart.
"I'm scared to death of our family, but I persuaded Your Majesty to come back, you can't talk nonsense in the future, it's really life-threatening."
Just when Zhang Rang was crying out in his heart, he heard a cry outside.
"Your Majesty......"
But seeing Cao Jie wearing a foot coat, his pale hair was scattered, his clothes were messy, his belt was crooked, and his face was full of tears, which made people feel sympathy at a glance.
Emperor Ling of Han was so frightened by Cao Jie's cry that he trembled one by one, and sprinkled a lot of wine in the wine cup in his hand.
At that time, his face sank, and he pushed away the palace maid in his arms
"Who is making a noise here! Aren't you afraid I'll ask for your head?! ”
But it was Cao Jie who was embarrassed at this time, which was very different from the neatly dressed him on weekdays, so that Emperor Han Ling didn't recognize him for a while.
Cao Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then cried even more.
"Your Majesty, ......! It's an old slave......! ”
As he spoke, he tidied up his messy hair, so that Emperor Han Ling could see his appearance clearly.
Emperor Han Ling was also stunned, and then asked Cao Jie with curiosity.
"Let's get up, I don't know what happened to me today? Why is it so messy? ”
Emperor Ling of Han still respects Cao Jie, after all, when he first became emperor, it was Cao Jie and others who helped him sit on the throne.
Therefore, he is usually very generous to Cao Jie and others, but now seeing Cao Jie's appearance, Emperor Han Ling is also very surprised in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is here to ask for sin today, and I heard that when Xun Yu borrowed the wine to be ordered by the palace guard today, he participated in a copy of the old slave.
No matter what happened to Xun Lingjun and the old slave, it all bothered His Majesty, this is the great crime of the old slave, and I implore Your Majesty to surrender! ”
When Emperor Han Ling heard him say that he was not here to defend his own affairs, but to bother himself and ask for guilt, he was greatly relieved in his heart, and sighed in his heart.
"If all the ministers of the world are so loyal, I will really be relieved, how can such loyal ministers do things that harm the country and the people?
Hum...! It must have been Xun Yu and others who saw that I favored Cao Qing, and he was jealous, so he casually arranged some non-existent things to falsely accuse Cao Qing.
If it weren't for my wisdom and martial arts, wouldn't I be wrong to blame Zhongliang? Xun Yu and others are really villains! ”
Thinking of this, he felt more and more that Cao Jie was a loyal minister, so he comforted him gently
"Cao Qing hurry up, this matter has nothing to do with Cao Qing, it is all the heart attack of Xun Yu and other villains, and they can't see loyalty, so they falsely accuse Cao Qing."
Cao Jie saw that Emperor Han Ling really believed him, so he stood up, but he was still afraid that someone would trouble him with this matter in the future, so he left a way back in advance.
"Your Majesty, this matter may be the relatives of the old slave, who used the reputation of the old slave to do evil, and was taken by someone, please forgive the old slave for not investigating"
After saying that, Cao Festival is another big salute.
When Emperor Ling of Han saw this, he sighed even more in his heart for his loyalty.
"Cao Qing doesn't have to be like this, Cao Qing was born in a big family, and there are many relatives in the family, even if there are one or two unscrupulous children, it is also a common thing, how can Cao Qing be blamed."
When Cao Jie heard this, he knew that this matter was done, and his heart settled down.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your magnanimity, after you go back, the old slave will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, if this is the case, at that time, the old slave will definitely kill his relatives in righteousness!"
"Hmm"
Emperor Han Ling was even more relieved when he heard this, and asked people to pour a glass of wine for Cao Jie.
"Come on, come on...... Cao Qing, today, I got a fairy brew, and Cao Qing and I drank a cup together. ”
At this time, Zhang Rang, who was waiting for Emperor Han Ling on the side, looked at Cao Xiu's light full of haze, and then, probably afraid of being seen by the two of them, he lowered his head and said nothing.
