"Where's your bracelet?" Yan Ying also found that Cao Ming's bracelet was gone, it was a very valuable jade bracelet, which was enough to buy several cities.

"It's in the barbecue shop!"

Cao Ming couldn't wait to slap herself twice, it seems that the careless problem has to be changed, otherwise she will lose her life next time.

Cao Ming recalled the scene at that time, and remembered that there was another person accompanying him, as if he was a merchant selling jade, and it was possible that the bracelet was on his hand.

Yan Ying took the initiative and said: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to find it immediately, as long as the bracelet is in the city, I will definitely be able to find it." ”

Cao Ming doesn't have time to care about this matter now: "Then I'll leave it to you, I'll have a reward for getting it back." ”

In the living room of the Assassin's Mansion, Shangguan Qing was maintaining order, and most officials were opposed to the exhumation, but some chose to support it.

Yang Heng patted the wooden case and said: "You are all the governors of the counties, if there is anything to be decided when the mother comes, don't quarrel here!" ”

Yingchuan County Shou Guangyun arched his hand and said: "We are Hanchen, why should we listen to a woman's words? ”

After listening to Guangyun's words, everyone nodded and thought that what he said was reasonable, and the queen didn't care about the local officials, so why should she point fingers here.

"!" Shangguan Qing found Cao Ming standing at the door, his face was not usually gloomy, and it seemed that he had heard their conversation.

Yang Heng got up and gave up the main position to Cao Ming, and then went down to arrange for people to ambush, once these people had strange behaviors, they could be taken down in time.

"If you don't listen to me, do you want to listen to you?" Cao Ming heard the quarrels before she came in, most of them talking about the queen, after all, it is very rare for women to be involved in politics.

Guangyun's face was not afraid, but reasoned: "I think we should listen to the words of the saint, not to your words." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said: "What the majority of people say makes sense, but the saint is just a child, and now there is no queen mother to assist the government, can't I come forward to manage it?" ”

Shangguan Qingbang said: "I think what Niangniang said is reasonable, would you rather listen to Li Dao and others than listen to Niangniang?" ”

All the officials also felt that it made sense, after all, now in addition to the saint, Cao Ming is the person with the highest status, and now everyone who has the way to understand that Yuzhou and Yanzhou are the Cao family's words, who dares to offend the Cao family.

Guangyun saw that what Cao Ming said was reasonable, so he had to refute it in other ways, just digging up the king's tomb, which is a big disrespectful behavior, can be used to talk about it.

Guangyun thought for a while and said: "The excavation of the mausoleum is a matter of common anger between people and gods, and Niangniang, as a royal person, should respect her ancestors even more, how can she do such a disobedient thing." ”

Cao Ming came up with an idea: "Now that the emperor is trapped in Chang'an, how can he be rescued easily without a lot of money to get through his connections, of course, if Guang Taishou can afford it, I don't have to dig up the royal tomb." ”

"I can get the nobles to donate!" Guangyun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thinking that Yingchuan was rich in materials, and it would definitely not be very difficult for the scholars to donate some money.

Cao Ming deliberately pretended to agree: "The idea is good, but I don't know if these scholars are willing to come up with 100,000 catties of gold." ”

"100,000 catties of gold!" The officials present all exclaimed, this is the cost of 100,000 soldiers for a year.

Shangguan Qing continued to maintain order and did not let these officials talk about it privately, otherwise what Cao Ming said would not be heard clearly by people who were far away.

"It's impossible!" Guangyun thought that Cao Ming was joking and asked the scholars to come up with 100,000 gold, which was impossible.

"Since it's impossible, then I have to borrow money from the Liu family." Cao Ming thought to himself that a royal tomb could dig up at least tens of thousands of catties of gold, plus the treasures inside were enough for 100,000 gold.

"Do you want to expand your army?" Guangyun guessed Cao Ming's intention, and found so much gold to use, not to open up contacts at all, but to expand the army.

Cao Ming wanted to hide the plan, but this matter was too much of a movement, and it was impossible to hide it from others.

Cao Ming gave the reason and said: "I'm not joking, since the new agricultural tools were widely used, the grain output in Yuzhou and Yanzhou has increased year by year, and the grain in some places has piled up into mountains, and it is completely possible to expand the army again." ”

The officials very much recognized Cao Ming's remarks: In recent years, agriculture has indeed developed rapidly, and grain output has increased a lot compared with before.

"Do you have any plans for this soldier?" Guangyun said the voices of other officials, now Yuzhou is in a state of development, if you want 200,000 miscellaneous soldiers, you can make up 20,000 people, but you need to be able to fight tough battles, judging from the current state in the state, at most 10,000 people.

Cao Ming played with the brush on the case: "The Xiliang army in Chang'an is short of pay and food, which is the best choice for the source of soldiers, I will use the trick to get rid of their leader, and then collect it for my own use." ”

Cao Ming's words were supported by everyone, if the Xiliang Army could really be absorbed, then the strength of Yuzhou could be increased, and if it was combined with Yanzhou, the strength could definitely be compared with the Yuan brothers, and it would be in the form of a three-legged tripod on the map.

Guangyun retorted: "Mother, these thieves lack discipline, if you accept them, something will happen sooner or later!" ”

Cao Ming was a little angry and said: "The officials in the hall have no objections, but you are deliberately opposing here, is it because it is not pleasing to the eyes of the palace?" ”

"Don't dare!" Guangyun sighed helplessly, his heart was very reluctant to obey women, especially a junior who could be a granddaughter.

Cao Ming didn't intend to spare him: "I see that the majority of people are outdated, and it is difficult to manage the people well, so let's go back to my hometown!" ”

Guangyun said with a look of surprise: "My official position is the appointment and dismissal of the saint, how can I rely on your words!" ”

Guangyun thought to himself that he had been an official for forty years, and he had finally become a county guard, how could he resign easily.

The corners of Cao Ming's mouth lifted and said: "I said it all, the saint is young, plus the traitorous ministers are in charge, of course the selected officials are not the best, it is inconvenient to walk at your age, I think it is time to go home to accompany my grandson." ”

Cao Ming thought that Yingchuan County was a treasure land, of course he had to make a shrewd man, and a pedantic old man like this should return to his hometown as soon as possible.

Shangguan Qing walked in front of Guangyun: "People, hand over your seal letter and go home to accompany your grandson!" ”

Guangyun strongly protested: "No, no! I am a county guard, and you have no right to take my office. ”

All the officials looked at Guangyun silently, people living to this point are looking for blame, and the mother is not stepping on the steps.

Cao Ming slapped the wooden case hard and said: "The majority of people, this palace has always been impatient, if your political performance is better, I will not remove your official position, in fact, your political performance is only average, there is no outstanding at all." ”

Cao Ming glanced at the officials with a weak heart, because these words were all made up, so she was afraid of being exposed.

Cao Ming looked at Shangguan Qing with a puzzled gaze, wondering if what he said was true, this old man colluded with the anti-thieves in the court.

Guangyun's body trembled and said: "Xiaguan did send gold to Master Li, but this is all forced by others, don't do Xiaguan's business!" ”
