"Why didn't Cao Gong speak?" Yu Guiren, who had white hair, asked seriously. "Isn't there something difficult?"

Cao Jie bowed his head for a long time and said: "I don't hide it from the nobles, Wang Fu, Yuan Yu, Feng Yu, Zhang Feng, these people, now they are dead, they are gone, only I am alone in the North Palace, and I am already alone!" ”

Yu Guiren said disapprerovingly: "If it is really difficult to speak alone, then it is a matter of reconciliation with these newcomers, they are only seeking the position of Zhongchang and Zhonghuangmen, and as you said, Wang Fu They will either go or die, and there are so many vacant positions, what else?" ”

"How can I not know how to reconcile now?" Cao Jie said with a smile. "It's just that the nobles don't know that your new servants already regard me as a fish on the chopping board, and don't bother to reconcile with me at all. Besides, more than ten of them are scattered all over the palace, and I just want to show that I have to think of getting the big guys together before I can be open and honest...... Communicating privately one by one, just for their previous offensive and defensive alliances, I am afraid that it will be difficult to accept me, even if it is accepted for a while, it will change in the blink of an eye. ”

"Well, I don't know what to say." Yu Guiren couldn't help but reply helplessly. "I'm old, and these regular servants in the palace don't take me seriously, they just want to gather everyone for you, I'm afraid I'm also powerless."

Cao Jie also continued to nod and said: "This is the reason why I must meet the nobles old slave, I don't have some ideas, but the current situation is too dangerous, I have to say goodbye to the nobles no matter how before fighting to the death...... After all, both you and I are so old. ”

As he spoke, Cao Jie took off the crown of the two thousand stone permanent servants on his head, revealing his gray hair in a bun, and threw himself on the ground in the bedroom of this noble man, and paid a big salute.

Seeing this, Yu Guiren suddenly wanted to speak and stopped, but finally smiled slightly, sat still, and calmly accepted the other party's salute.

It was already very late, and after Cao Jie finished saluting, he respectfully stepped back, and then left the bedroom of Yu Guiren directly and went to rest in his own house.

"So, did Duke Cao go to the palace?"

In front of Cao's Mansion, Gongsun Xun, who had gone and returned, held his knife and looked directly at the bearded scribe who stopped in front of him, as for Cao Erye, who was supposed to be presiding over here, he didn't know where to go at this time.

"Return to Gongsun Langzhong!" Luo Mu saluted respectfully. "That's right, my family is a regular attendant of the North Palace, where can I stay in the house all the time?"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help sneering: "You are also from a scholar, this adult is sincere......

Luo Mu bowed his head and remained silent.

"Anyway, I have nothing to say about the poor card skills, but where is the general trend of the hearts of the people in the world, I also hope that you Luo Zixian will do it yourself!" After saying that, Gongsun Xun let go of his hand and was about to turn around and leave.

"Won't Lang Zhong go in and search for one or two?" Luo Mu suddenly looked up and asked. "You are a central capital official, and you also have the power and responsibility to enforce the law."

"Came in a hurry." Gongsun Xun replied awe-inspiringly. "And in the future, I will have time to forge anti-books, seals, tiger talismans and other things, and if I can't destroy the Cao family, what's the use of copying some treasures at this time?"

Luo Mu stood alone in front of the Cao Mansion, but he didn't know how to respond.

After a night of depression and not talking, on the afternoon of the second day, Cao Jie's counterattack appeared.

"Yuan Chang waits and stays." Somewhere in the temple of the lieutenant of Sili School, Gongsun Xun, who had disposed of Yuan Yu instead of Yang Qiu, suddenly stopped the conversation in front of Yuan Kui. "I'll go out and pick up an official document."

Yuan Yu, Yuan Kui, and Yuan Shu, who didn't know why he appeared here, all raised their eyes to look at Shi Wanglang and Wang Jingxing, the head of Shangshu who appeared outside the lobby, and then they didn't say anything.

"What?" When Gongsun Xun came outside the hall, a bad feeling almost immediately rose in his heart.

Wang Lang's face was serious, and he paused for a moment before he said seriously: "Brother Wenqi, there is one thing, Qiao Gong specially asked me to inform you, I don't know if it's good or bad......"

"Say it." Hearing this, Gongsun Xun became more and more vigilant in his heart.

"Today, there is a Lang official who wrote to the imperial court, bluntly saying that the eunuchs misled the country and impeached Cao Jie, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, ......"

After only listening to half a sentence, Gongsun Xun felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and it was okay to impeach Cao Jie, even Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were impeached together, is this crazy? Don't you know how to divide and disintegrate and distinguish the main contradictions?! But for now, the first evil of the eunuch camp is still Cao Jie and Wang Fu, are they good?

To tell the truth, this kind of person who carries the banner to destroy the overall situation, if Gongsun Xun usually thinks that it is just some people who are stupid, after all, there are as many fools among the scholars, and just think that the alposive 2,000 stones of the "Book of Filial Piety" can have a dozen......

However, as soon as Cao Jie entered the palace, some people were so eager to do things, it must not be stupid, but bad! There must be collusion and premeditation in this, that is, to connect Cao Jie, who was originally alone, with the rest of the nobles in the new palace.

It is even conceivable that as soon as this bad guy takes the lead, there will be a large group of stupid people who will immediately follow with enthusiasm...... And what's even more sad is that whether it is Gongsun Xun, Qiao Xuan and Yang Ci, who know this, can't stop it at all, maybe they may be coerced!

Or else? Do you want to stand up and say that Cao Jie is a bad person, but Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are good people?!

"That's it, Brother Wenqi is doing it himself." Wang Lang couldn't help but sigh.

In other words, staying in a place like Shangshutai for a year and a half, even a white lotus flower has become a black lotus, let alone such a smart young man?

"I see." Gongsun Xun sighed and could only say so. "Go back and tell Qiao Gong, and say I'll be careful."

In this way, Wang Lang said goodbye and went back, and Gongsun Xun re-entered the hall to face Yuan Yu, the regular attendant.

"Yuan Changshi." As soon as he came back, Gongsun Xun didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, only to see him come to the upper seat with his back hand and sit down, and his face changed directly. "Now the situation, there is only one word to you, don't go home, go out of the city now in vain, and return to your hometown to retire!"

Yuan Yu was immediately stunned, but just glanced at Yuan Kui, and immediately mustered up the courage to ask rhetorically: "Dare to ask Gongsun Langzhong, but what happened?" ”

"Yes!" Gongsun Xun said calmly. "Cao Jie fled into the North Palace alone yesterday, and we actually have no way to take him. And then today, there are people who impeach Cao Jie, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and many other regular servants for colluding, as if they want to muddy the waters and make us fall into a place where we can't advance or retreat......"

"In that case." Yuan Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly. "Old and Rotten Me ......"

"In that case." Gongsun Xun suddenly lowered his face. "I can't be more lenient with you, the fish that slipped through the net! I gave you two points of face in the face of Yuan Gong, the same sect next to you, and allowed you to return to your hometown. But if you don't know how to be bored, I will have to beat you to death in this hall today, and then hang you in front of the city gate to be with Wang Fu!" Do you know that Wang Fu, who was arrogant in the past, has given birth to maggots? ”

Yuan Yu was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say; Yuan Kui was also dumbfounded and speechless; It was Yuan Shu, and at this time, he couldn't help but look at Gongsun Xun again, and then secretly sighed that what his father said was true...... Of course, back to the present, if others are so, the three surnamed Yuan in this class are estimated to be a joke, but the person in front of him is afraid that he can really do what he says, because Wang Fu, Duan Xi, and Chen Jiu are indeed lessons from the past!

In other words, everyone said so, if you don't believe it, I'm afraid you're going to have maggots!

After waiting for a while, seeing that the hall was speechless for a while, Gongsun Xun became even more impatient, so he became more and more colorful: "Yuan Changshi, the current situation is just okay or not, don't you think you can really delay here." You must know that the more difficult the situation, the more I have to act thunderously, so as to correct the public and calm people's hearts! Zhu Eun, Zhu Eun, don't you think that your surname is Yuan, so you are not a eunuch?! I can spare your life, what else do you want?! ”

Yuan Yu turned his head to look at Yuan Kui, who was speechless beside him, and then begged for mercy: "The old slave doesn't have any luck, I just hope that Gongsun Zhonglang will see that I am a member of the Yuan clan in Runan, and allow me to return to the house and bring some goods and goods back to my hometown, so that I can buy some farmlands and pensions......"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sneer and looked at Yuan Shu: "Brother Highway, don't your Yuan clan have the money to support the orphans and widows in the clan?" ”

Yuan Shu just lowered his head and smiled when he heard this: "Look at what Wen Qi said, if you don't admit it, it's okay, since you have been carried into the door, there will be no shortage of food and clothing for this elder, don't you say?" ”

Yuan Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and then he felt that the world was spinning and he fell to the ground!

In other words, Yuan Changshou is also a eunuch boss who has been messing around since the Liang Ji era, where can he not hear the meaning of Yuan Shu's words? Not to mention how much the attitude is different from Yuan Feng in the past, just listening to this meaning, it seems that he has lost power, so he regards him as a redundant waste!

And if so, if you really go back to your hometown in Runan and have no money in your hands, wouldn't you really be lonely? But after thinking about it, in front of this white horse Zhonglang who really dared to kill people immediately, if the Yuan family didn't support himself, then how could he leave any wealth?

Therefore, after thinking about it, the situation in front of me is actually half a dead end!

If you hate that Cao Jie, you can't escape into the North Palace one day later? Then you might be able to get out of it!

In short, the more Yuan Yu sat on the ground, the more sad he became, the more sad he became, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and thinking about the goods he had accumulated for most of his life, in the end, he actually sat in the hall and cried loudly...... It also made the officials and soldiers in the hall watch the excitement.

"Uncle." Seeing this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but tug on his uncle's sleeve, pulled the latter outside the hall and whispered. "Such a character is also worthy of the surname Yuan?!"

"After all, it is thanks to the Yuan family." Yuan Kui replied helplessly. "Your father also explained when he was still in good health, so you must protect him!"

"Didn't you already save his life?" Yuan Shu became even more impatient when he heard this. "What else do you want? Uncle, in the current situation, it is difficult to continue the matter of eunuchs, and it is also a situation where the power of eunuchs has fallen. But my father had that kind of thing before, and he couldn't interfere, so he actually sat back and watched the Yang family win the attention of many people by overthrowing Wang Fu...... Under such circumstances, if we forcibly protect a eunuch, how will the people of the world view our Yuan family? Besides, didn't my father also let us pick up the Gongsun clan and this Gongsun Xun when he was handy before? ”

Yuan Kui was a person who had no idea, and when he heard his nephew's words, he hesitated a little. On the other side, Gongsun Xun in the hall was also completely impatient, and he had already shouted that the left and right officials were going to take down Yuan Yu and torture him...... So, whether it was Yuan Kui or Yuan Yu, they immediately panicked and didn't dare to delay any longer.

In the end, the two sides agreed that Yuan pardoned the family's property and went out of Luo in vain, and the Yuan family promised to escort the other party all the way to Runan and never come back.

And since Yuan Amnesty has been issued, so far, the eunuch group that used to rely on the September coup d'état and the second party to establish the dominant position of the government and government, almost only a lone leader, Cao Jie, is still alive in the palace.

Of course, the situation became more and more delicate as Cao Jie continued to hide in the North Palace.

You must know that compared with the helpless Yang Qiu, Gongsun Xun and others, the mood in Shilin is getting more and more excited, and then more and more people began to write to ask for eunuchs, and the goal was extended from Cao Jie all the way to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. Later, with the formation of the trend, some people even openly put forward the slogan of rehabilitating the general Dou Wu and the Taiwei Chen Fan...... Later, as expected, the demand for the removal of the party was also a matter of course.

In this regard, whether it is Gongsun Xun, Yang Qiu, Yang Ci, and Qiao Xuan, they all know that doing so can only anger the Son of Heaven and make the Son of Heaven vigilant about this matter, and may even turn directly, but they can't stop and refute it at all. In fact, it was Gongsun Xun who had the courage to sign a joint letter with his colleagues in Shangshutai, which probably meant that he asked for the destruction of Zhao Zhong or something...... It's also an egg ache!

Of course, in private, Gongsun Xun and Yang Qiu didn't have nothing to say, they agreed early that as long as Cao Jie dared to leave the forbidden palace and the guards, then they didn't care about 3721, and directly pointed to the loopholes on Cao Poshi's body to 'accidentally injure'...... In short, Cao Jie, the leader of the eunuch party, must not be let go, otherwise, not to mention that this matter will be abandoned halfway, it will be a violent counterattack and may not come soon.

But having said that, the time has been coming to April, and seeing that Luozhong is getting hotter and hotter, Cao Jie is still motionless, like a turtle, even more bearable than a turtle.

You must know that the corpse of his former partner Wang Fu is now not only stinky maggots, but also sometimes dripping some yellowish unknown liquid...... For this reason, Gongsun Xun had to order it to be moved to the edge of the city gate to prevent splashing passers-by! However, Cao Jie just didn't move, and it seemed that he was really ready to survive in the palace until he died of old age!

However, as the foreign dynasty became more and more noisy, on this day, a certain critical point that Cao Hanfeng had been waiting for finally came.

The person who caused the trouble was an old man official, a native of Liang Guo, who was called a judge of loyalty. In other words, this judge publicly wrote a letter requesting the rehabilitation of Chen Fan and Dou Wu, but he actually abolished the Yellow Gate system completely by the Son of Heaven, and his words were extreme, and he had some selfish actions to fight for fame, just like Cai Yong before...... At this moment, the Son of Heaven finally got impatient, and directly dismissed this person who claimed to be 'a man for fifteen years' and returned to his hometown.

Undoubtedly, this is a signal, a signal of a change in the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

And when he heard this, Cao Jie, who knew that the time had come, finally acted quickly.

"Cao Gong." On the evening of this day, a middle-aged palace maid suddenly appeared in Cao Jie's room with a frightened face, and the latter had been sitting in the dormitory in the north palace almost all day in order not to arouse the hostility and vigilance of other permanent attendants.

"Is it done?" Cao Jie, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, asked calmly without looking back while arranging the bun with more and more gray hair.

"It's done, but it's not done!" The palace maid immediately bowed her head and pleaded guilty. "Please also ask Gong Cao for your forgiveness."

"That's interesting." Cao Jie, who had already begun to wear the crown of his two thousand stone servants, inevitably turned back curiously. "What do you mean by 'it's done and it's not done'?"

"Back to Cao Gong's words." The middle-aged palace maid nervously looked back at the door behind her, and then replied in a low voice. "The old nobleman drank the bottle of wine, but he also realized something......"

Rao is Cao Jie's old scheming, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered at this time: "Yu Guiren found out? ”

"Yes!" The middle-aged palace maid kowtowed again and replied. "But the noble lady didn't get angry or have a seizure, but sent the others away, continued to drink all the wine in front of me, and asked me to bring some words to Cao Gong."

Cao Jie sat down for a while, and then he trembled and said, "What does the old noble man want you to bring?" ”

The old nobleman said...... She has always been blessed, although she had a son who became the son of heaven that day, but he died at the age of two, and there was no blessing, but for this he also attracted the jealousy of the Liang family. And a few years ago, it was Cao Gong who asked Xiao Huangmen to play, crowned her and several other unnamed concubines as nobles and ladies, and allowed her to be buried with Emperor Xianshun after her death; Even, even in her family, it is all thanks to the help of Cao Gong that a few children can come out...... is so kind, it is natural to want to repay her life, not to mention that at her age, there is nothing to say about life and death! ”

When Cao Jie heard this, he only felt that his mouth was dry, his heart was like numbness, and he stopped for a long time before he eased up: "You go down, don't tell others about this matter, after the Yu nobles are buried, I will give you a thousand gold, and send you out of the palace and return to your hometown...... Never break your word. ”

The palace maid thanked her for her kindness, but she was nervous, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

As soon as Cao Jie and the others left, they couldn't help but stand up and circle around the room...... He wanted to go to Yu Guiren's dormitory several times and take the last opportunity to plead guilty, but he still didn't have the courage to go out several times.

In desperation, in the midst of the turmoil in his heart, gratitude, shame, fear and other emotions, this eunuch who had been in charge of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years had no choice but to remove himself from the crown of his 2,000-stone permanent servant again, revealing his gray hair bun, and then stood in his residence, bowed in the direction of the dormitory, and then burst into tears.

The next day, Emperor Shun of Han, the biological mother of Emperor Chong of Han, and the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, died in the palace...... Because of her advanced age, no one thinks about it, and because she is a noble person of Emperor Shun, she is buried in Emperor Shun's Zhangling, so the Son of Heaven decreed that hundreds of officials should strike for three days, and Da Nei will wear plain clothes for two days.
