Chapter 330: Cao Huachun, the man behind the pot
The hotel's restaurant lobby is designed to be spacious and bright in accordance with the lobby of a modern hotel.
As soon as Wang Yue entered the restaurant, he beckoned Cao Huachun and others to sit in the box, and asked the staff to bring melons, fruits and tea, but it was not yet time to eat.
Cao Huachun, who came to the starting point city for the first time, was dazzled by the various facilities and things in the city from the moment he entered the city gate. It's no wonder that his godson Cao Ruyi often describes to himself how special and magical the starting point city is, and it is better to hear it than to see it in person, but now he completely believes it.
Although his two eyes were not enough to see, Cao Huachun did not forget the mission of coming to the starting point city this time, after all, it was related to his net worth and future.
Cao Ruyi and Wang Yue were quite familiar with each other, and seeing that his godfather couldn't stop glancing at him, he hurriedly stopped Wang Yue, who was busy there, and said: "Lord Wang, my godfather is here to issue an edict this time, can we sit down and talk again after receiving the decree?" ”
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Then take the order first, Mr. Cao, please!" ”
Cao Huachun had already heard Wang Chengen say, when he came to issue the decree, no one in the Tiance army knelt, in this case, it was even more impossible for Wang Yue to kneel, looking at the lord in front of him, he really didn't mean to kneel.
Now that the host and guest have changed positions, I don't dare to think about the incense case or anything, as long as Wang Yue does not overthrow the court and does not seek the throne, Cao Huachun will burn high incense.
Cao Huachun took the holy decree of yellow brocade from the little eunuch's hand, untied the red silk rope, and unfolded it:
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: Tiance Jun Wang Yue has outstanding military achievements, repeatedly defeated the Eastern Captives, and even more prestige of the imperial court outside the territory, and has made great contributions to the country."
The so-called system is the holy decree issued by the emperor himself to the hundred officials. If it is called, it is a holy decree that must be announced to the subjects of the world in major political affairs.
"However, Xue Guoguan, the second assistant of the cabinet, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and others were jealous of the virtuous and jealous, deceived the saints, ignored the laws of the imperial court, and conspired to frame Zhongliang, so that Wang Aiqing was seriously injured, and even made the Tiance army and the imperial army turn against each other."
"These two people framed Zhongliang, the crime is extremely heinous, for the law of the country, for Wang Aiqing to rehabilitate, and now Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang are dismissed from all official positions, and they are imprisoned for punishment."
"In addition, the Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Division will arrest Jinyi Wei Qianhu Gao Wencai and other people involved in the case and put them in prison."
After reciting the holy decree, Cao Huachun smiled and arched his hand to Wang Yue and said, "Lord Wang, you have been wronged, congratulations!" The miscellaneous family is here to congratulate Lord Wang. ”
Wang Yue laughed dryly twice and said, "Rejoice, rejoice!" ”
In his heart, he was secretly thinking about the intention of Chongzhen's will, and it was obvious that this was a plan to survive by breaking his tail.
No matter what Chongzhen said, Wang Yue's actions have seriously violated the imperial power, and such a contradiction is irreconcilable. Unless Wang Yue has been strong, if there is a chance, Chongzhen will definitely settle accounts after the autumn.
But that's okay, Wang Yue never thought of killing Chongzhen, killing Chongzhen did not promote the development of the starting point city, but made the world fall apart and fall into a more chaotic situation.
"Mr. Cao, that's not right! That Wen Tiren is also the culprit, why is he not mentioned in the holy decree? "The conflict between the starting point city and the imperial court was caused by Wen Tiren's nephew Fu Yifeng blackmailing road construction workers, and the imperial court planned to deal with Wang Yue, how could it lack Wen Tiren's participation.
"Lord Wang, you don't know anything." Cao Huachun considered the words, this was explained by Chongzhen, Wen Tiren must be excluded, he said: "Wen Ge Lao is indeed not involved in this matter, this is all done by Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang. ”
Xue Guoguan was because of Wang Yue's attack on the Donglin Party, Yang Sichang was resentful because Wang Yue cut off his hand stretched out to the Tiance Army, whether Wen Tiren really did not participate in the matter, Wang Yue is still uncertain, but if you want to investigate, you will definitely be able to find out.
However, a Wen Tiren can't threaten Wang Yue. The court can't do anything about itself, so what can Wen Tiren do.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue nodded and said, "I will believe what Chief Manager Cao said for the time being." ”
Cao Huachun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Wang Yue giving himself face like this, and praised repeatedly: "Lord Wang has a broad mind, no wonder he can achieve great things at a young age, and create such a situation, it's amazing, it's amazing." ”
Cao Ruyi also echoed on the side: "Godfather, I have told you many times a long time ago, Sihua has a heart of the world, no better than others." ”
These two people were both on errands in the palace, serving people all their lives, and the words of praise were like a surging river for a while.
Wang Yue will not be confused by their sweet words, the reason why he gave Cao Huachun the corresponding courtesy is because of many reasons.
The starting point city can be allowed to build a legal city, Wang Yue can gain a foothold here, and Cao Huachun has played a key role. Wang Yue is a grateful person, no matter what Cao Huachun's purpose is, Wang Yue will never forget his favor.
Cao Huachun has no major bad deeds in history, and the so-called Cao Huachun opened the city gate to welcome thieves into the city when Li Zicheng's troops besieged Beijing, but in fact, Cao Huachun was slandered by Donglin Yuzi.
In fact, when Jiashen was in trouble, Cao Huachun had been in Tianjin for six years! Not in Beijing at all.
It was a lawsuit during the Shunzhi period. The Qing army had just entered Beijing, and out of respect for the emperor of the previous dynasty, perhaps in order to buy people's hearts, they held a three-day funeral for Emperor Chongzhen, and posthumously presented the temple name Huaizong.
After about half a year, Emperor Shunzhi arrived in Beijing, Cao Huachun unexpectedly rushed from Tianjin to Beijing, Shangshu asked to properly handle the construction of Emperor Chongzhen's tomb, and Emperor Shunzhi agreed to Cao Huachun's request, and directly delegated power to him to be in charge of handling it.
But at this time, a demonic wind blew.
A group of Donglin Party members who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually jumped out to report, saying that Li Zicheng broke through Beijing at that time because Cao Huachun took the initiative to open the city gate.
"Open the door to welcome the thief, the thief enters the city, stands up to serve the people, enters the capital in the Qing Dynasty today, and returns to the servants, this traitorous minister, although ten thousand beheadings are not enough to convince the hearts of the people."
Cao Huachun Shangshu defended himself, although there is no video recording, but the alibi evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear.
Emperor Shunzhi is also a person who understands, and made instructions on this matter: "Cao Huachun is unprovoked, his heart is clear, there is no need to dissect Chen, the ministry knows." "Didn't bother with the mad dogs.
The truth of history is that the city gate was opened by the Hui people in the capital.
If the mad dogs stop there, then they aren't mad dogs either.
These people continue to slander Cao Huachun on various occasions and by various means, and use the resources at their disposal to smear Cao Huachun in various documents and history. "The End of the Ming History Chronicle", "Guoyi", "Ming Ji Beiluo", and "Ming Tongjian" are all written about the city gate opened by Cao Huachun.
Later, when Cao Huachun read the wild history notes from the south, he saw that the accusation that he opened the city gate was still very marketable, and he was very afraid that "if it is widely circulated and the author does not check it, it will become infinitely filthy."
But Cao Huachun is not a big V, he doesn't control the water army, and he doesn't have the power to delete posts, so he had no choice but to sort out and archive some important documents when he was in power, and he also wrote a will in advance and made four poems.
One of them: Serving the country is foolish and reckless, who is the unwarranted accusation?
The family was slandered for six years, and believed that the past history was not true.
Cao Huachun's indignation and helplessness were overflowing, and he finally realized the shamelessness of the literati.
More than ten years later, in 1662, Cao Huachun died in depression with a black cauldron on his back.
