Chapter 80: Excess Makes Up for It
"The quality of gold is controlled by the Son of Heaven, and the law of gold is the only way to punish princes, what do you think?"
This is what Chao Buzhi said to Chao Cuo, after all, they are still very marketable on Emperor Jing's side at this time.
Fortunately, at this time, it was not the middle and late Ming Dynasty that was proud of scolding the emperor, otherwise with these, Chao Cuo and Chao Buzhi could be beaten into the realm of ministers.
After Chao Cuo proposed this in the court, Emperor Jing was a little moved, because there are too many princes and kings and meritorious princes now, and you can just get rid of a batch of them with this method, so why not do it!
But Tao Qing and the others were definitely not happy, because they themselves were within the system of this meritorious liege.
But this golden rule is not a mistake or a blind pondering, but was formulated by Emperor Wen.
When Emperor Wen entered the Weiyang Palace as a vassal king, what did he rely on? One is age, the second is fame, and the third is caution.
Therefore, for those who have succeeded in Emperor Wen, they are very respectful, for example, Zhou Bo is very domineering.
However, after Emperor Wen was in power, of course, he had to think of punishing some disobedient people, and the golden rule came into being.
Therefore, Tao Qing and the others still have no way to express their opposition, it is as disgusting as swallowing a fly raw.
Just when they were anxious, suddenly the chamberlain came in to report that Zhi Du had arrived, and he was waiting outside the palace gate.
Tao Qing was immediately overjoyed, and then said: "Your Majesty, is it a rumor that Zhidu has entered the palace?" After all, he is now a lieutenant, and he is also very proficient in the law, so you can listen to his opinion. ”
Although Chao Cuo was a little unwilling, he couldn't, so he had to watch Emperor Jing agree with Tao Qing's words, and then send someone out to spread the edict.
After a while, Zhi Du walked in, he first glanced at Chao Cuo and Tao Qing with a sharp gaze, and then bowed: "Chen Zhi has seen Your Majesty. ”
Emperor Jing smiled mildly when he heard this: "Why should Aiqing be polite? Hurry up and flatten down. ”
"Thanks to Aiqing in Jinan County, there is a prosperous scene where today's roads are not forgotten and the door is not closed at night, and Aiqing can be said to be a hard worker!"
After receiving Emperor Jing's praise, Zhi Du just raised the corners of his mouth, and then said with a straight face: "The minister should not be so affectionate to His Majesty, the minister just did his duty!" It's just that I regret not being able to listen to His Majesty's teachings every day. ”
He may not be able to do the work of a cool official, but a cool official will definitely have some verbal skills, and "cool" is also said to others.
Didn't you see Emperor Jing hearing Zhidu's words, the smile on his face was already as bright as a chrysanthemum?
Tao Qing looked at Zhi Du's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, he didn't expect that after this Zhi Du was released for a while, he would become a sycophant, which was not easy to deal with.
Then Tao Qing was just about to ask Zhi Du's opinion on the golden rule, and suddenly another attendant came in and whispered a few words in Chuntuo's ear, Chuntuo's face instantly became extremely joyful, and then hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother, her old man's eyes are healed, she was cured by Chao Langzhong, and now she can see things, and many nobles in the palace have gone to the Queen Mother's palace to congratulate her." ”
After hearing this, Emperor Jing was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "This Chao Buzhi is worthy of Aiqing's uncle, and he really has the ability to do both hands, and I have a lot of rewards." ”
Emperor Jing's words were said to Chao Cuo, Chao Buzhi's level was too low and he was not on the scene, so Chao Cuo was a little embarrassed and thanked him: "Thank you for your majesty's praise for your uncle." ”
Then Emperor Jing recalled in front of the ministers, and recalled the dark history of those unforgettable, painful and dependent on the Empress Dowager Dou, and the ministers naturally sang praises, after all, they still had to eat under Emperor Jing.
Zhidu found that when Emperor Jing was sad, some people below cried in a low voice, as if they were empathetic.
Even if it was a mistake, he changed his appearance just now, and his face sank like water, not to mention inadvertently wiping the Tao Qing at the corner of his eyes with his fingers.
Dute is an actor, Dute's thousand-year-old fox. Zhi Du instantly lost the complacent smugness just now, it turned out that the routine in Chang'an City was so deep, he was a little hit for a while.
At the end, Emperor Jing smashed it, smashed it, and said something more.
Chao Cuo hurriedly interrupted Emperor Jing's train of thought, diverted the topic and said: "Oh, by the way, in fact, I should thank the prime minister a lot, if there is no strong recommendation from the prime minister, I'm afraid my uncle will not have the opportunity to treat the queen mother." In this way, the prime minister is worthy of being the head of a hundred officials, and he is indeed a wise person and very discerning. ”
Although the words contain modesty and praise, the people who can stand here are not fools, who can't hear the resentment and ridicule of Tao Qing in Chao Wrong's words, so everyone turned their eyes to Tao Qing, even Emperor Jing was not surprised.
If Chao mistakenly reads "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I am afraid that there will be a sentence "Zhou Lang's clever plan to settle the world, and he lost his wife and soldiers".
Tao Qing is not an ordinary person after all, after all, even Sima Yi can wear women's clothes and turn around, Tao Qing, a 10,000-year-old turtle spirit, is also very good at forbearance.
"As long as it is beneficial to the court, even if it is a dog or a horse, the old man will not let it go, and he will use his talents." Tao Qing said disapprovingly: "Since there is a legacy in the wilderness, and the old man is the prime minister, how can he not recommend it to the country?" So Dr. Chao doesn't need to thank the old man, this is what the old man should do. ”
Hearing Tao Qing compare Chao Buzhi to "dogs, horses", although he was out of bearing, what people said was also the truth, so everyone's faces were full of smiles.
Chao Cuo's face suddenly turned red, and he scolded wildly in his heart, you are a dog, an old dog, and your whole family is a dog.
Then I saw Tao Qing stand up, clasp his fists and say to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if you have faulty, you will be punished, this is the reason why Gaozu was able to defeat Xiang Yu." ”
"Today's Wuguan Lang Zhong Chao supplemented the Queen Mother's diagnosis and treatment, the medical skills are unparalleled, cured the Queen Mother's eyes, and rounded His Majesty's filial piety, which can be called a meritorious work, so the minister implores His Majesty to promote Chao Langzhong to calm the heart of the world's meritorious ministers."
Emperor Jing was a little moved when he heard this, Chao Buzhi cured the Empress Dowager Dou, Emperor Jing really wanted to reward him well, and he just rewarded Chao Buzhi through Tao Qing's mouth seal, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wishes.
As for what impact it will have on Chao Buzhi, which superior person is not freewheeling? Who would put themselves in the shoes of their subordinates? Emperor Jing is obviously no exception.
However, Chao Cuo's face changed drastically, and the red was even more black, extremely ugly, this Tao Qing was really bad, he wanted to kill and isolate Chao to make up for it.
Over-promotion to make up for it? Did he save the car? Or has it expanded its territory? Or is it a big deal?
