Chapter 301: Cao Yong Falls
Cao Yu has fallen! Li Zhang had already guessed that one of Wang Zeng and Cao Yong would be unlucky, but he didn't expect Cao Yong to fall so quickly, only two months after the fight, Cao Yong was suddenly removed from his position as a privy envoy, and was waiting at home for the next disposition.
Speaking of the reason for the fall of Cao Utilization, not only did Li Zhang not expect it, but almost everyone did not expect it, because Cao Utilization did not fall because he made a mistake, but because his nephew made a mistake, of course, with Cao Utilization's identity, generally speaking, even if his nephew made a mistake, it would not implicate him, but this matter was too serious.
Cao Yong has a nephew named Cao Ne, who serves as a soldier and horse supervisor in Zhaozhou, because the Cao behind him uses this big backer, so Cao Ne no one dares to mess with him in Zhaozhou, and it can be said that he is the emperor of Zhaozhou, and he usually does a lot of evil things.
Originally, Cao Ne was a good emperor of the soil, and nothing happened to him, but the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant, after Cao Ne got drunk on this day, he actually took a whim and asked people to take a yellow robe and put it on himself, and let the surrounding people shout "Long live", in addition to not really rebelling, it can be said that he did everything that Zhao Kuangyin did in Chenqiao back then.
As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die, Cao Ne thinks that he is far away from the emperor in Zhaozhou, so no one will know if he does something out of the ordinary, but there is a person named Zhao Dezhen who has been bullied by him, and this person knows that Cao Ne is wearing a yellow robe, and he actually went to the capital to sue the emperor, and also beat the Dengwen drum, this drum was also knocked by Li Zhang, and also sued Kaifeng Mansion.
Although the Dengwen Drum can sue the Emperor, the Dengwen Drum Courtyard is controlled by a group of eunuchs, who have the power to screen and report the matter, if these eunuchs do not report the matter for other reasons, then even if the person who sues the Emperor knocks the Dengwen Drum, it will be difficult to get justice.
But for Zhao Dezhen to tell Cao Ne about this matter, the eunuchs were very active in reporting to Liu E, to blame Cao Yu is usually too good at being a person, when he was a guard in the palace, he was also very stammering to the eunuchs, a "nobleman", but later after he made a career, he was very contemptuous of eunuchs, although eunuchs are indeed not welcomed, but the general officials also maintain superficial respect for them, after all, eunuchs are people around the emperor, and officials are not too offended.
But Cao Yu is different, he not only despises the eunuch after his hairline, but also shows it on his face, he doesn't have a good face when he sees the eunuch, and even once Luo Chongxun next to Liu E made a mistake, Liu E asked Cao Yu to reprimand her on her behalf, but Cao used it well, and even pulled Luo Chongxun to the crowded street, let him take off his official uniform and hat and kneel on the ground, and then reprimanded for more than an hour, you must know that Luo Chongxun is the head of the eunuchs in the palace, how can he usually suffer this kind of anger?
It is precisely because of the above incident that Cao Yong and Luo Chongxun also formed a big feud, so after Luo Chongxun learned about Cao Yong's nephew, he took the initiative to ask Liu E to go to Zhaozhou to investigate, and as a result, Cao Ne was directly beaten to death after being identified, as for Cao Yong, he had to wait for the next step of the imperial court, but Cao Yong had offended too many people before, and this time the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and it is estimated that the end will be very miserable.
Cao Yuan's encounter was a wake-up call to Li Zhang, when the alliance of the Yuanyuan was found, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to go to the Liao State to discuss, but Cao used the courage to take the initiative to go, although the alliance of the Yuanyuan was a little humiliated to the Great Song Dynasty, but in exchange for more than 30 years of peace, it is a pity that Cao used his merit and pride, and finally ended up in such a fate, which made Li Zhang also secretly vigilant, and he must not become the second Cao to use in the future.
With the fall of Cao Utilization, Wang Zeng should have been proud, but contrary to the facts, Wang Zeng was not only proud, but became more careful, especially after Li Zhang's reminder, he also knew that he was only half a step away from Cao Utilization's footsteps, fortunately, he immediately stopped all actions, but Cao Utilization was constantly moving, so the fall of Cao Utilization was ostensibly implicated by Cao Ne, but in fact, he was looking for death.
It is precisely because he knows Liu E's bottom line, so Wang Zeng will be more careful, he has worked hard for many years to finally get to the position of prime minister, naturally he doesn't want to lose it easily, not to mention that he has a more important task on him, that is, with him and Lu Zongdao watching in the court, Liu E at least dare not move.
However, just before the disposal of Cao Yu, another incident happened in the court, that is, in order to tie up Liu E, an official suddenly wrote a request to build seven temples for the Liu family, the so-called seven temples, only the emperor in the world is qualified to build, that is, Sanzhao Sanmu plus Taizu, but Liu E is only the queen mother and not the emperor, and she is not qualified to build seven temples at all.
Originally, Liu E could have thrown away this kind of flattery directly, but her attitude was a little ambiguous, and she actually took out the fold in public in the court, and asked the ministers' opinions, which made many ministers a little overwhelmed, and finally Lu Zongdao scolded loudly: "If the Liu family builds seven temples, what should the future emperor do?" ”
With Lu Zongdao taking the lead, there were many ministers below who objected, but this made Liu E very angry, and left the hall at the moment, and when this matter came out, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, Liu E's ambition was finally a little uncontrollable, she probably didn't think about it at all, what Zhao Zhen would think about when he knew about it?
At that moment, Li Zhang immediately entered the palace, and sure enough, when he saw Zhao Zhen, the other party was drinking, which made Li Zhang helplessly stepped forward and said, "Do you remember what I said before?" ”
"Remember, cousin, don't worry, I just can't think about it for a while, I just want to get myself drunk." Zhao Zhen raised his wine glass at this time and said, looking at the red appearance of his cheeks, it is estimated that he had drunk a lot of wine before Li Zhang came.
"I'll accompany you!" Li Zhang knew that Zhao Zhen was unhappy, so he sat opposite him and poured himself a glass of wine, and then touched the wine glass with Zhao Zhen, and the two of them also drank it all.
Li Zhang had said everything he needed to say before, and Zhao Zhen also knew that he could only wait patiently now, and he had to accept whatever Liu E did, so the next two didn't say anything, just drank one glass after another, and finally Zhao Zhen was the first to fall, and Li Zhang's amount of alcohol was not good, so he soon fell the second one.
Because of the opposition of Lu Zongdao and others, the matter of repairing the Seven Temples finally came to an end, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, this day Li Zhang went to the firearms prison as usual, but when he walked to the gate of the imperial city, he suddenly saw a group of people in strange clothes walking towards the city gate, and Li Zhang couldn't help but shout in surprise when he saw this group of people: "How can there be Japanese people coming to the imperial city?" ”
