Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dust Has Settled, and the Mixed Blessings and Sorrows
Luoyang City, the palace is important, and Shangshutai.
This is the bridge connecting the hundred officials and the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, it is also the office of Da Changqiu and Shangshu Ling Cao Jie.
"Everything is well done!" Cao Jie looked quite happy, there were some eunuchs and courtiers in front of him, and if you look closely, those few masters in charge of the treasury of the Han Dynasty are also among them.
"It's all up to Shang Guan's order to strategize..."
The thin eyes of several storekeepers almost narrowed into a slit... A look of flattery. "If it weren't for the instructions of the official order... I'll wait, where would I think of putting pressure on Zhang Wen's reckless man... Who knows? He can't bear the pressure so much? Are you crushed by this money and this ledger? Shang Shuling strategizes? Knock down Zhang Wen, I'm waiting to admire and admire! ”
"What's going on?"
Several eunuchs seem to think that these lords are thin sycophants... robbed them of their jobs, and couldn't help but hurriedly speak.
"Cao Dachangqiu is wise and martial, let me wait for the release of the news to Cai Yong and Huangpu Song... These two old guys have a weird temper, but if you hear that the reason why the imperial court can't pay funds and military salaries is that Zhang Wen made a mess of the treasury... Then don't you rush to your majesty to complain? Cao Dachangqiu's trick really makes us admire and admire. ”
Truly... Stating the fact that the treasury is in a mess, bringing down Zhang Wen, and reinstating Cao Songguan are all Cao Jie's calculations!
Eunuchs are often the best at intrigue, and Cao Jie, the head of the eunuchs, is naturally no exception. If you really seize an opportunity, he can kill his opponent!
"Hmmm! Well said, several of you have merit, and you should all be rewarded. Cao Jie laughed.
"Huh? Compared to Cao Da Changqiu's credit? We're going to lose our strength... It's nothing, it's nothing. ”
"Hahaha..."Cao Jie was slapped by a sycophant, and suddenly had a fluttering feeling.
But... To be honest, in terms of meritorious deeds, he really can't be the first to take the lead. Thinking of this, Cao Jie raised his hand. "What's going on? The biggest contributor is not Ben Hou..."
Not... Isn't it Cao Da Changqiu? And who else is there? Who would have thought... Will Zhang Wen make a mess of the treasury management? Who would have thought of using this to bring down Zhang Wen?
"Cao Da Changqiu? You... You can't be too modest, can you? A group of eunuchs and lords said again and again. Except for you? Who else has such a unique vision? ”
"Hahaha..."Cao Jie laughed out loud. Come on, I can think of that... Or thanks to a six-year-old guy, and as for his name... Ben Hou won't tell you, anyway... Sooner or later, he will shock all of you! ”
Speaking of which...
Cao Jie stood up. "Alright, let's all step down... I'll send someone to deliver your reward, and now, Ben Hou can't wait to meet this little fellow! ”
Let's talk about it... Cao Jie slowly left... Leaving a group of eunuchs and lords in shock?
Belch... One? A six-year-old little one? Came up with so... Such a scheming scheme? Kids now? Is it all that bad?
For a while, they looked at each other, which was a bit incredible.
……
……
The dust settled.
After a year, Cao Song, who was dismissed from office, was once again appointed as the chief Sinong in charge of the financial power of the Han Dynasty...
A lot of things, if you don't lose them, you will never notice his preciousness...
When Cao Jie personally handed Dasi Nong's "seal" and "edict" to Cao Song... Cao Song was almost teary-eyed, the calloused hand... They were all trembling uncontrollably.
"Minister, take the order..."
Even if it's only three words, my throat is dry and almost choked...
Hell knows, this year... How did you get through it?
Cold-eyed, ridiculed... Everything that the Cao family suffered turned into dust from the past at this moment, floating away with the wind.
Call...
Cao Shuo, who was witnessing all this, was leaning against a plane tree with his back and took a long breath... finally helped the Cao family stand up again, and the grandfather was reinstated. In the future, I guess happy days are coming, right?
Blinking his eyes, a sense of pride rose in Cao Shuo's heart...
Wait, why does it always feel wrong?
Cao Shuo knocked his head with his hand... Thinking about it carefully, it's as if he... What was overlooked.
It's a strange feeling, it's like listening to a lecture hall in college... I feel like I've understood something, but I can't say it!
"Brother Cao Shuo..."At this moment, Cao Ang ran over, "Grandpa Guan has been reinstated and has returned to the Great Si Nong." The tone was hurried, and the expression was very happy...
But soon, Cao Ang's smile was retracted, as if he had gone through a very strange brain circuit, and he actually pouted. "But, Grandpa became a big Si Nong? Is our Cao family glorious? And what about the previous Dasi Nong? Will he... Will it be like our Cao family before... All of a sudden, it went down? ”
Belch... Cao Shuo hiccuped.
… It is worthy of being kind and benevolent and filial piety... Brother Cao Ang... Your brain circuit is really full of Qingqi!
At this point, I can even think of the situation of the former Da Si Nong... It's good, it's good, it's good... Cao Shuo wanted to send him a good person card.
Hey...
Suddenly, Cao Shuo thought of a point...
After Cao Ang's reminder of such a brain circuit, Cao Shuo thought of the former chief farmer Zhang Wen, and by the way, he thought of Zhang Rang... Cao Shuo, who is familiar with every character in this history, knows very well, what kind of character is Zhang Rang?
He's not stupid! Right now... The sudden change made him not think about it for a while!
After a few days, he will be able to connect all the beginnings and ends of this matter, and he will definitely be able to find out that this is all a conspiracy, a calculated conspiracy!
Eat such a dumb loss Zhang Rang? Can you give up? He will definitely look for Cao Jie? Ah no... It's not Cao Jie, it's the trouble of finding grandpa Cao Song...
Call...
Thinking of this, Cao Shuo exhaled a long breath, even if Grandpa Cao Songguan was reinstated, he still couldn't slack off.
I have to think about it carefully, what trouble will Zhang Rang find Grandpa? Or... Grandpa Cao Song serves as the big Si Nong? What are the flaws and loopholes?
"Flaws, loopholes - accounts!"
Accounts... Cao Shuo pronounced these two words, and his voice was not loud, but suddenly... Cao Ang was startled.
"Brother Cao Shuo? You are..."
"Brother Cao Ang, I'm fine..."It seemed that because of Cao Ang's words, coming out of the thoughts in his heart, Cao Shuo replied casually, and then closed his eyes.
No, Grandpa Cao Song's flaw is the accounts...
Before, Zhang Wen made a mess of the treasury because of insufficient experience and experience, but after Grandpa Cao Song took over Dasi Nong? If the accounts still don't match, there is no reason.
Zhang Rang can make a big fuss, and even lead to the collusion between Cao Jie and Cao Song to collect money... The accounts that don't match are physical evidence, and if you can find human evidence... That... For the Cao family, for the Cao Festival, it will be a catastrophe!
Thinking of this, the beads of sweat the size of beans on Cao Shuo's ears slipped down...
originally thought that Grandpa Cao Songguan would be reinstated, this was the rhythm of a good life, who knows... The road ahead is even more dangerous!
No way... I have to remind Grandpa.
Just thought of this.
"Little one? Why are you here? ”
A sharp and loud voice sounded, and it wasn't the eunuch Cao Jie who appeared in front of Cao Shuo..."The firecrackers on Luoyang East Street are ready, don't you go and see?" Instead, you're here with a sad face? What's going on? Did anyone bully you? ”
When it came to bullying, Cao Jie deliberately accentuated his tone.
Now, in his mind, this little guy Cao Shuo is a baby... It's a baby with a smart brain, who dares to bully him... Cao Jie has to pull out that guy!
"Shuo'er? Why are you so worried? "Next to Cao Jie, Cao Song also came... Originally, he was supposed to take office immediately, but he couldn't stand the firecracker momentum that Cao Jie prepared for him, and the flowing water banquet... There's no rush at this moment...
It's Cao Shuo? He was originally innocent? Today? Knit one's brows... It seems that there is something on the mind.
"Grandpa... Grandpa Cao Jie. Cao Shuo raised his head, saluted, and immediately looked at Cao Ang. Just now, Brother Cao Ang mentioned a person... It makes me feel bad. ”
Not? Who?
At this time, Cao Song and Cao Jie's eyes turned to Cao Ang...
"I... I..."Suddenly paying attention, Cao Ang's tone stumbled for a while. "Grandson... The grandson only mentioned the former Dasi Nong... Sun Er thinks that it is a good thing for Grandpa to be reinstated, but the former Dasi Nong... Will he be like our Cao family before, and decline all of a sudden? ”
Belch... So kind, so simple, such an innocent child.
… Cao Jie's eyes widened, I'm obedient, what kind of world is this? People eat people, people yin people, people hurt people... This year? Such a kind child? It's rare.
Cao Song was not surprised, smiled slightly, pulled Cao Ang, and hurriedly explained. "Cao Hou? My eldest grandson, although his talent is a little dull, is extraordinarily kind... This is like his own mother. ”
Cao Jie waved his hand..."No..."
He turned his head back to Cao Shuo... Cao Shuo, this little guy is so smart? How could you be melancholy because of this unprovoked "benevolence, filial piety, kindness"? There must be some other reason?
"Little one? Did you think of something again? ”
Right now... Cao Jie attaches great importance to the thoughts in Cao Shuo's little head.
Don't look at this little guy's age, but Cao Jie has been in contact with him twice... He has already made three contributions.
once cleared up the involvement of the Cao family and the Empress Song case; once helped the imperial court set a strategy against Xianbei; For the last time, let Cao Songguan be reinstated...
A delicate product... Where is this little guy just gifted and intelligent? is clearly an insight into people's hearts, and this time he borrowed the mouth of his brother Cao Ang... The "former Great Si Nong" must be referred to...
Really.
Cao Shuo spoke, this opening... The words are amazing!
