Chapter VIII
Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, sat on the main seat of the main hall in a dragon robe, and the four yellow doors stood in the four corners. Looking at His Royal Highness, Liu Xie's heart was unwavering. These people are Cao Cao's team, and he has no say in the appointment of officials. He is the supreme head of state, and he is only a head of state.
A yellow door shouted loudly, "There is a book to play, nothing to retreat!" ”
Cao Cao sat upright, squinting his eyes slightly, and gently brushing his white beard under his chin, his demeanor was majestic and full of momentum.
"The minister has a play!" An official got up and went out to play, "The minister wants to play Cao Zhen's son Cao Shuang and the house slave as a street horse, and the impact is very bad." Now the people are full of grievances, please Your Majesty give the people a justice and a peace! I hope Your Majesty will see it. ”
At this time, Cao Cao, who was squinting slightly, had already opened his eyes, and looking at the officials in front of him, he still had some impressions in his heart. This person's name is Chen Su, and he was transferred to the imperial history Zhongcheng the year before last. Chen Sugang is upright, and it is understandable for him to start the shot. But what happened next made Cao Cao a little unexpected. Followed by many officials jumping out to second, what is too often, too often the main book, sacrificial wine, and doctors jumped out one after another, accusing Cao Shuang of not being a horse on the street, and asking His Majesty to deal with it strictly, eager to turn Cao Shuang into a powder.
"Ahh Cao Shuang, who was recuperating at home, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his itchy nose, Cao Shuang laughed at himself, "It seems that there is a little girl who supports me." ”
Feng Huimeng, who was twisting the sweat towel, turned his head and glared, "What did you say?" Do you want to die? ”
Cao Shuang looked at Feng Hui in front of him in surprise, he was really a man.
Feng Hui, who reacted, lowered his head very shyly, "It's rude, I hope that Gongzi Cao won't blame." ”
Cao Shuang just shook his head awkwardly, "No, how dare you, how dare you." ”
At this time, there was a fierce debate in the court, and it was not lively. One side believes that Cao Shuang should be severely punished, give an explanation to the people, and return Xuchang to peace; On the other hand, Cao Shuang is just a child, this is all a trivial matter, and there is no need to bring it to the court. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is naturally the case in the court. If you say yes, then your opponent will definitely not let go of this opportunity to step on you, and they will naturally say bad.
There is a group of people who are very special, they are all silent, they look at the nose, the nose and the mouth, and the mouth and heart. They are either Cao Cao's loyal confidants, or they have connections with Cao Shuang in one way or another. Cao Cao's face was pale, he didn't expect today's situation. Originally, after Chen Su opened fire, Cao Cao planned to turn this matter into a small matter, but he didn't expect it to become the current situation.
Seeing Cao Cao deflated, Liu Xie almost laughed out loud, but was stopped by the yellow door in front of him. It's really a memorable meal, you have forgotten how Cao Cao purged the Houguan in the first place. Thinking of this, Huang Men was still a little afraid in his heart, his master had a little bit to do with Xu Shu and those people, and after being taken away by bad people, he never came back. laughed at the prime minister in the court, Cao Cao would not take the Son of Heaven Liu Xie, but he would move them, the Yellow Gate who served the Son of Heaven, who let you not take care of and remind the Son of Heaven?
Liu Xieduan sat on the main seat, cleared his throat, and the argument in the hall immediately stopped. All the ministers looked at Liu Xie in unison, and even Cao Cao turned sideways and looked at Liu Xie. Liu Xie enjoyed the performance of the ministers very much, this is what the Son of Heaven should enjoy, and he automatically ignored Cao Cao's very unfriendly eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, stop arguing." Liu Xie pressed his hands and a faint smile on his face, "Why don't you ask the people in the court who know the law very well about this matter?" ”
"Your Majesty, if you want to be proficient in the law, no one is on the right side of Chen Changwen." The person who spoke was Chen Su, who took the lead in firing the cannon.
Liu Xie smiled slightly, "Chen Aiqing is here?" "Kick this question to Cao Cao, see what you do, see Cao Cao deflated, Liu Xie can't mention how happy he is.
Jia Xu, who was sitting in the crowd, tried his best to open his eyes, looked at Chen Su in front of him, and secretly scolded in his heart, this Chen Su is good at everything, but this character can't be changed. let the family sell it, and count the money for others here. After teaching him for many years, why don't you understand the truth that it is easy to be broken? Subsequently, Jia Xu was relieved, if he could change this character, he Chen Su would not be Chen Su.
Chen Qun in the crowd looked at Cao Cao very calmly, only to see Cao Cao nodding and Chen Qun dressed up. Chen Qun did this, and he did not shy away from looking at Cao Cao's face. For so many years, Chen Qun has been like this, if Cao Cao doesn't let him do it, he will definitely not stand up, as for the face of your son of heaven, it's nothing. I saw a few doctors, who scoffed at Chen Qun's approach and were very annoyed. Liu Xie, who was a little annoyed, kept those doctors in his heart, and was very relieved that my world could still be saved.
"Minister Chen Wenchang see Your Majesty!" Chen Qun bowed and bowed, very respectful.
"What is the crime of riding in the streets?" Liu Xie asked solemnly, and his voice resounded throughout the hall.
"Whoever walks in the carriage in the city without reason will be flogged fifty!" Chen Qun replied crisply, without any drag, which shows Chen Qun's familiarity with the law. After answering, Chen Qun returned to his seat.
"I also hope that Your Majesty will see that Cao Shuang is riding on the street and bullying people has aroused the anger of the people, and I hope that Your Majesty will severely punish Cao Shuang to calm the anger!" One of the doctors just now knelt on the ground and shouted.
"I wonder what Cao Aiqing thinks this matter should be?" Liu Xie asked, and moved forward to show his favor.
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and his murderous aura was revealed. This court is Cao Cao's master, the Son of Heaven is just a signboard, and all the rulings are in Cao Cao. The doctor is so aggressive, not at the Son of Heaven, but at himself, this is forcing himself to make decisions. Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, has never been so active in the court, and I am afraid that it is not so simple behind this. How to resolve this matter, Cao Cao felt that there was no way to leave a few heads. Just when Cao Cao wanted to use the wrath of thunder to make the doctor accept the boundless anger from the superior, someone opened his mouth to disperse Cao Cao's full anger value, "The old man has a different opinion! "The voice was very hoarse, like a fingernail scratching on a blackboard, which was very uncomfortable to hear. But Cao Cao felt that this voice at this time was like a heavenly sound.
The person who spoke was Jia Xu, the wise Jia Wenhe. I saw Jia Xu on crutches, slowly walked to the middle, and saluted the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao. Looking at Jia Xu in front of him, Liu Xie was not very angry, how could this old man still be alive. A few years ago, Jia Xu had a serious illness, but then he slowly improved, and his body bones became stronger than before. Back then, Cao Shuang sabotaged Xu Shu's plan and shattered Liu Xie's dream of escaping from the clutches, and Jia Xu, who was close to Cao Shuang, was hated by Liu Xie. Even decades ago, Jia Xu saved Liu Xie in the hands of Guo Yan and Li Wei.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, if you are guilty, you should be punished, and what should you do if you have merit?" Jia Xu asked slowly, his voice hoarse and low.
Liu Xie replied without hesitation, "Merit should be rewarded, and the rewards and punishments are clear!" ”
Jia Xu nodded approvingly, "Cao Shuang's rescue efforts back then seem to have been forgotten by us." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. Six years ago, it was Cao Shuang who galloped thousands of miles, overcame all difficulties, destroyed Xu Shu's plan, and welcomed back the Son of Heaven. This credit is so great that no one even mentions it since. This incident was the beginning of the break between Liu Xie and Cao Cao, and it was the knot between the two of them in the past few years. Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at Liu Xie, there were too many things in his eyes.
Liu Xie was like a deflated ball, leaning on the backrest, his face full of frustration, and he lost the vigor he had just now.
"I just asked Wen Chang, is the function of saving the driver worth four hundred and fifty lashes?" Jia Xu continued to ask.
This time, Cao Cao didn't need to signal, Chen Qun came out and said loudly, "Yes, the merits and demerits are offset, Cao Shuang is not guilty!" ”
The doctor was about to say something, but was stopped by a look.
Cao Cao straightened his body and said openly, "The merits and demerits are offset, Cao Shuang is not guilty!" But it should also be strictly disciplined, and it will be handed over to Jia Xu at this time. ”
"Whoa!" Jia Xu received the order neatly, and he couldn't see that he was old at all.
"Retreat!" Cao Cao was very domineering, and with a wave of his hand, he got up and left, ignoring Liu Xie, who was full of resentment behind him.
