(The cold in the south is maddening, after updating this chapter, I have to go out and warm up!!) ）

The news of Song's domestic attachment soon spread in Wu'an, and for a time the people of Wei were in an uproar.

This Song Kingdom is too unplanted!

But at the same time, the Wei people are also proud in their hearts, this is the majesty of the Great Wei State, which has been able to surrender without a fight.

So the Wei people began to think that since the new monarch ascended the throne, the prestige of the Great Wei State has become stronger day by day!

Kill the princes, defeat the strong Qin, the small country worships, and there are even those who are attached one after another!

What kind of hegemony does the monarch want to achieve now? More than Zhaohou, Qi and Chenghou...... These two goals have been achieved in the hearts of Wei people.

In other words, in the hearts of Wei people, Wei Wuji has become the greatest monarch since the founding of Wei, and there is no one.

Of course, these are just the thoughts of the people of Wei, but what the senior officials of Wu'an are concerned about at this time is the newly released position of the county guard.

The position of county lieutenant is arbitrary by the monarch, and these people are very conscious, knowing that they can't intervene, and the only one who can do it is the position of county guard.

Although Wei Wuji succeeded to the throne and vigorously attacked the power of the Shi clan, he still couldn't change the situation of the Shi clan being in the middle of the dynasty, and he still had to rely on these people to govern the country.

Under the situation that the monarch relies on the Hanmen to control the army, it is inevitable that the people in the clan will huddle together to keep warm, and form an interest group with several bigwigs.

Now there are three bigwigs in the DPRK to be precise, the first is Prime Minister Guo Liangdong, followed by the imperial historian Zhang Yu, and then the court lieutenant Zhao Yu.

Everyone wants to win the position of the county guard for their camp and strengthen the prestige of their camp, so as to compete for the right to speak in the government.

So while the people were happy with the prestige of the Wei state, the courtiers were busy calling friends, especially those who were interested in releasing the position of county guard.

You must know that only by delegating the post of county guard can there be hope of being promoted to Jiuqing, and only by being promoted to Jiuqing can you have a chance to get a glimpse of the position of the three princes.

Who doesn't want to be ranked among the three princes and discuss the government with the monarch? At this time, within the Wei State, the ministers wanted to take any step, including Cao Jun.

Many people may not know who Cao Jun is, but if he is the elder brother of Cao Xin, the Empress of Wei, then everyone will know who he is.

Cao Jun is currently the envoy of the Tingwei Mansion, and in terms of official position and age, he is actually not enough to be released as a county guard.

But Cao Jun didn't give up, because whether it was in the Tingwei Yamen or in front of the clan, he Cao Jun and his Cao Jun were isolated.

Because at the beginning, under the coercion of Wei Wuji, the Cao family directly betrayed the family and agreed to marry Wei Wuji.

Although Wei Wuji has now succeeded to the throne and Cao Xin has also become the queen of Wei, the clan only compliments the Cao family on the surface, but deep down they still regard them as traitors.

In order to make people look up, the Cao family has worked hard over the years, since the old lady Cao Yun retired, Cao Xin's father Cao Rui became the county guard two years ago.

But this was not impressive, so Cao Jun couldn't bear it, and this time he decided to fight.

If it can be guarded by two counties, and then there is the harem of the Wei Hou as the respect, then the Cao family will not have the strength to become the first clan like the Xie family at the beginning?

Once this idea arises, it is difficult to suppress, so Cao Jun prepared all kinds of gifts and went out in a carriage to visit the courtiers who were usually good friends.

The position of the county guard needs to be self-recommended, and then it depends on the support of the courtiers, so it is necessary for Cao Jun to contact the courtiers, and other courtiers who are interested in this do the same.

……

At a mansion in the north of Wu'an City, Cao Jun bowed to the man inside the door: "Gong Chen, this matter is settled?" ”

"It's okay!" The man inside the door replied unconcernedly.

After hearing the affirmative reply, Cao Jun took his leave and left, and the alleyway was quiet again.

Sitting in the carriage, Cao Jun's heart was difficult to calm down, and he visited more than a dozen houses along the way, but only three of them agreed to his request, and it was for Cao Xin's sake.

Cao Jun was full of hope before going out, but now it can be said that he is very disappointed, and this little support rate is impossible to push him to the position of county guard.

So at this time, he can only persuade himself to relax, even if he can't let go of the county guard, it can be regarded as a gain if he can leak his face in the court.

To be honest, he was still a little dissatisfied with his brother-in-law Cao Jun, Wei Wuji did not have much preference for the Cao family after he succeeded to the throne, which can be said to have disappointed them.

In the past two years, the estrangement between Wei Wuji and his wife has made Cao Jun feel anxious.

After returning to the mansion, Cao Jun went to see his grandfather Cao Yun, and he was still ready to tell the old man about it.

After the grandfather and grandson briefly greeted each other, Cao Jun introduced his own topic, and only listened to him: "Grandpa, you all know about the king's establishment of Song Land as Song County!" ”

Although Cao Yun retreated, he was still very enthusiastic about current affairs, so he nodded, and then said: "The monarch is prestigious, and the princes come to vote, it is my great Wei's luck!" ”

At the beginning, it was Cao Yun's peace that Cao Rui agreed to marry his daughter to Wei Wuji, which also became Cao Yun's proudest thing.

Now that Wei Wuji has succeeded to the throne, and Cao Xin has naturally been honored as the queen of Wei, his Cao family's investment has also returned greatly.

But no matter how big the reward is, it can't compare to the greatness of people's desires, and Cao Yun sees the thoughts of his son and grandson better than anyone else.

"My grandson wants to fight for the position of the county guard, and I hope that my grandfather will give me advice!" Cao Jun knelt on the ground and said.

When Cao Jun said his plan, Cao Yun knew what his grandson was planning, which made him deeply worried.

It is no longer the era when the family monopolizes the government, but the Cao family wants to reproduce the glory of the Xie family at the beginning, which is completely unrealistic.

Looking at the prestige of the monarch now, as well as the tragic situation of the Xie family's extermination at the beginning, and then looking at the ability of his children and grandchildren, Cao Yun feels that the family inheritance is even more dangerous.

So he immediately said: "You want to compete for the position of county guard? You are not old enough, how can you take on the responsibility of the county guard! ”

was poured cold water by his grandfather, Cao Jun suddenly felt resentful in his heart, so he argued: "The court and the central government recommend the county guard, only look at the talent regardless of the qualifications, grandpa will inevitably underestimate his grandson!" ”

So Cao Yun asked coldly, "What talent do you have?" ”

Cao Yun knows better than anyone else about his grandson's ability, if it weren't for his granddaughter's noble Empress Wei, how could Cao Jun be able to achieve the position of Captain of the Imperial Court.

"I ......" Cao Jun wanted to distinguish between the two sentences, but after searching his intestines and stomach, he found that he couldn't say anything.

But this made him feel even more angry, is he really incompetent?

So at this time, Cao Jun was not ready to tell his grandfather about contacting the courtiers, because he already knew that Cao Yun would not support him.

Seeing that his grandson didn't speak, Cao Yun felt uncomfortable at this time, and he didn't want to hit Cao Jun, but for the sake of the family inheritance, he had to curb some unrealistic ideas.

is still the same sentence, now that Cao Xin is the wife of the monarch, the Cao family is already invincible without doing anything, so why bother to cause trouble and fall into the vortex.

The Cao family only needs to follow the steps, step by step and go down steadily, and when the eldest son becomes an adult, they will do their best to assist him in ascending to the throne, and then they can continue the family's century-old glory.

So Cao Yun said: "Jun'er, this matter should not be mentioned again, the position of the county guard is fought for by others, you work hard in the position of the court captain Changshi, if you can be appreciated by Lord Zhao Yu, then the time has come for you to release the county guard!" ”

Cao Jun couldn't help but feel funny about his grandfather's words, even if he did good results, it was impossible for him to get the praise of Tingwei as a member of the Cao family.

But Cao Jun didn't intend to continue arguing, because it was meaningless, and he thought to himself that it was impossible to convince the old man.

"Grandpa is resting, and my grandson still has important things, so I will leave first!" Cao Jun stood up and said.

As a result, Cao Yun felt even more disappointed, if his grandson only had this little energy, it would really not be a big thing.

But Cao Yun is already old, he can seek wealth for the family for decades, but it is difficult to ensure the family's century-old inheritance, Cao Jun has no way to do so.

"Go ahead...... Go ahead! Cao Yun said helplessly. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he can only think so.
