Chapter 31

Prime Minister Shen Tujia planned to rectify his mistakes, and he quickly found an opportunity.

Coincidentally, the Inner History Mansion is located in the open space outside the Taishang Emperor Temple, and the door is open to the east, making it inconvenient to enter and exit. Chao Cuo opened another door from the south and cut through the wall of the open space outside the Taishang Emperor Temple.

"This kid has committed a great crime of disrespect!" Shen Tujia was very excited when he found out, considering that it was getting late and the emperor was going to get off work, he thought about his rhetoric overnight, and planned to enter the palace the next day and report to Liu Qi to kill Chao Cuo.

Many things cannot be delayed, and a delay can lead to change. Shen Tujia missed the opportunity, simply because he waited the extra night.

Chao Cuo heard the sound of the wind, and was shocked into a cold sweat, he entered the palace overnight to explain the situation to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi expressed his understanding and comforted: "It's not a big deal, don't panic, I know it in my heart." ”

Early the next morning, Shen Tujia came to the palace, met Liu Qi, and said righteously: "Nei Shi Chao was wrong, and he chiseled the wall of the Taishang Emperor's temple without authorization. The minister asked His Majesty to send Chao Cuo to the Imperial Governor's Mansion for processing. ”

Shen Tujia was full of confidence, thinking that Liu Qiding would be surprised, and then forced by the decree to have to issue an edict to arrest Chao Cuo.

I only heard Liu Qi say slowly: "What Chao staggered was not the temple wall, but the wall in the open space in the temple, and there was no crime." ”

Shen Tujia raised his head in surprise and met Liu Qi's gaze. Shen Tujia suddenly understood, "It's late! It's late! That kid is on guard, His Majesty is willing to support him, and it's useless to say anything more! ”

Shen Tujia had no choice but to apologize and said, "When I heard about this, I came to report it to Your Majesty, but I didn't have time to verify it clearly." ”

Liu Qi snorted, "It's okay, Prime Minister, you are also kind." ”

Shen Tujia returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the hatred in his heart, "Why am I so stupid!" You should kill Chao Cuo first, and then report to Your Majesty. Now things haven't been done, but people are laughing at it. ”

Although Shen Tujia was old, his fiery temper was undiminished, and he vomited blood because of this, became ill and was bedridden, and died soon after.

The prime minister was angry to death. In the imperial court, Chao Cuo became more imposing, like two sides of a coin, and he attracted the collective hatred of the bureaucracy.

There was a vacancy in the position of prime minister, and Liu Qi promoted Tao Qing, the imperial historian, to be the prime minister, and made Chao Cuo the imperial historian. Tao Qing is steady, Chao Cuo is radical, Liu Qi considers that the styles of these two people are just complementary to each other, and above the court, it is necessary to maintain balance and seek progress in stability.

Tao Qing is not very famous, the origin is not simple, belongs to the second generation of root Miao Hong, his father is the founding hero, Kaifeng Hou Taoshe. Seeing a lot of changes, Tao Qing is relatively stable and doesn't like to be in the limelight.

It's a different story. A new broom sweeps clean. After Chao Cuo was promoted to the imperial historian, he first lit a fire and burned it to the princes and kings. He petitioned Liu Qi to investigate the sins of the princes and kings and reduce their fiefdoms.

When the news broke, the princes were in an uproar. The name of Chao Cuo spread all over the government and the opposition, and became the focus of heated public opinion.

On the cusp of the storm, Chao Cuo is not afraid. My suggestion is right, it is good for the country, and since it is good for the country, why can't it be said?

If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil!

Those who dare to die are called warriors. After all, there are many ordinary people in the world. The years are quiet and the present world is stable, which is their greatest hope.

When Chao Cuo's father learned of this, he rushed from his hometown in Yingchuan, saw his son, and scolded: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, you are in power to deal with government affairs, infringe on and deprive the princes of their interests, and alienate the feelings of the flesh and blood of others, attracting so much blame and resentment, what are you trying to do!" ”

Chao Cuo calmly replied to his father: "This is what I should do." If you don't do this, the Son of Heaven will not be honored, and the royal family will not be at peace. ”

Father Chao shook his head and said sadly: "The Liu family is peaceful, but the Chao family is in danger!" ”

Chao Cuo insisted: "For national affairs, my son can't listen to you." ”

Chao's father's gray beard trembled, and he trembled and pointed at his son and said, "I can't persuade you, I'll leave now!" I don't want to watch you fall in. ”

When Chao's father returned to his hometown, he committed suicide by drinking poison. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! The old father judged that his son was about to face a catastrophe, and his heart was broken, and he wanted to wake up his son with death, but his son refused to turn back without hesitation!
