On the tenth day of February in the first year of Xiping, the court was already noisy because of the reform of the official system.

However, the existence of the cabinet at this time made the hundreds of officials entangled in this, but they never slackened their government affairs.

At this time, Liu Hong was smiling and playing against the president of the Dahan Royal Bank, this was already the third game, but Cao Teng had already lost two games.

However, Cao Teng never had a trace of dissatisfaction, and he still had a smile on his face, why?

Because Liu Hong summoned Cao Teng today, he was wearing daily clothes, and in the hierarchical feudal dynasty, there were strict regulations on what style of clothing to wear and what color of vehicle to take.

When the emperor summoned most of his courtiers, he was wearing gorgeous gowns to show his attention, and Liu Hong was wearing regular clothes at this time, what did it mean? It shows that Cao Teng is regarded as his own person and his confidant.

It is a small detail, which embodies many meanings, which is why the superior is easy not to joke, because a joke may make the subordinate have a different mind, is that the above are cautious, and you have no jokes about this.

After a short time, Cao Teng put down the chess pieces in his hand and admitted defeat, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and the minister is not as good as it is in case." ”

Liu Hong smiled slightly, Liu Hong is not proficient in Go, how can he win Cao Teng, who has been playing chess for decades? It's just because he is the emperor, he doesn't dare to win, and Liu Hong still has this self-knowledge.

Immediately, Liu Hong picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip and said, "Ji Xing, how many years have you been in the palace?" ”

Cao Teng recalled when he heard this, "Your Majesty, it has been almost fifty years since the minister entered the palace. ”

"Fifty years, how many people in the world have experienced two fifty years!" Liu Hong sighed when he heard this.

When Cao Teng heard this, he was silent, when Emperor Liu Hu was Emperor, when Empress Dowager Deng chose a young man to enter the palace as a eunuch to accompany the crown prince to study, Cao Teng entered the palace as a small yellow gate and served the prince to study. After Emperor Shun ascended the throne, Cao Teng was promoted from Xiaohuangmen to Zhongchang.

In a blink of an eye, nearly fifty years have passed, which makes Cao Teng think about the situation when he first entered the palace, and he suddenly sighed a little.

Liu Hong then continued: "Fortunately, Ji Xing has a promising son and a promising grandson!" ”

Cao Teng showed a smile on his face when he heard this, this son who inherited from Xiahou's family did not disappoint him.

"Ji Xing's son, where do you live now?"

When Cao Teng heard this, he didn't think that Liu Hong really didn't know, so he said respectfully, "The son of unfilial piety, now living in the post of assassin in Yuzhou, his talent is insufficient, if it is not for His Majesty's trust, it may be difficult to be competent." ”

Liu Hong pretended to be displeased when he heard this, and said, "Ji Xing said this, but Yan Zhen is the nepotistic faint king?" ”

Cao Teng hurriedly got up and saluted, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"Ji Xing, you don't have to be like this, sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Hongwei groaned, and then continued: "How many years has Ju Gao been the assassin of Yuzhou?" ”

"It's been three years since I returned to Your Majesty."

"Three years." Liu Hong muttered, and then said, "Yuzhou's conscription and the implementation of the new policy, if it weren't for Ju Gao, I am afraid that it would not have been implemented so smoothly!" ”

"Your Majesty has praised it." Cao Teng said modestly.

Liu Hong waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be so restrictive, "Ji Xing, there is such a good child, you should be a big white!" ”

Cao Teng didn't reply when he heard this, but just bowed slightly.

At this time, Liu Hong suddenly got up, Cao Teng also got up and stood aside respectfully when he saw this, Liu Hong paced in place, and then shouted, "Li Hao, the purpose." ”

"No"

"Yuzhou Thorn Shi Cao Song Cao Jugao, during his tenure to persuade farmers to support the people, everything must be bowed to his family, and he moved to his post. Cui Lie, the doctor of Guanglu, was the assassin of Yuzhou. ”

Cao Teng was puzzled for a while when he heard this, but this was not the time to think, so he had to thank him and not mention it.

"Cui Lie has been a doctor of Guanglu for six years, and he has been moved to Yuzhou Assassin History, and he only needs to stay up for five years to be promoted. But why did you bring your father into Beijing? You must know that a person who does not have five years of experience in the history of assassination cannot be promoted to Jiuqing. Will there be another transfer in the future? ”

Cao Teng, who returned home, told Cao Cao, who returned to Beijing to visit relatives at this time.

Cao Cao also frowned when he heard this, and then said, "Grandfather, my grandson thinks that Your Majesty has made this move for two reasons, one is because my father made a mistake in the position of assassin in Yuzhou, and Your Majesty hindered my grandfather and couldn't bear to punish him severely, so I punished him with this." ”

"The second is that His Majesty intends to let his grandfather Taoguang maintain obscurity, at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Royal Bank of Dahan is making money every day, it is a person who must be red in the court, this is an important moment to reform the official system, if my grandfather is hit, Your Majesty will also take some thought."

Listening to Cao Cao's analysis, Cao Teng couldn't help but feel that Cao Cao had really grown up, Cao Cao went to Huangxian to serve, Cao Teng never greeted anyone, Cao Teng, who worked alone in the palace since he was a child, knew that when he was young, he would be able to achieve great things in the future.

Immediately, Cao Teng smiled and said, "Ah Pu has grown up!" However, after the analysis just now, my grandfather understands His Majesty's thoughts! ”

"Grandfather knows?"

"Your Majesty, I want my grandfather to resign!"

"What?" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, stood up with a bang, and said in disbelief, "Grandfather, why did Your Majesty let your grandfather resign?" ”

Cao Teng shook his head and said, "Don't you know that your father is a person?" Er's father is talented and courageous, but he is greedy for money, presumably, His Majesty learned of this and transferred Ju Gao to the Beijing Division. ”

"Moreover, my grandfather is the president of the Dahan Royal Bank, and he also walked out of the Dahan Royal Bank, and the outside world has already said that the Dahan Royal Bank is my Cao's private business, although it is a rumor, but Your Majesty will also be on guard."

"Finally, it is Your Majesty's grace, my grandfather is already approaching the age of antiquity, how many days can he be an official? It is better to retreat at this time, in exchange for the temporary peace of the Cao family. ”

There is a sentence that Cao Teng did not say, that is, when Liu Hong was in a coup d'état, he promised his Cao family a hundred years of wealth.

Cao Teng didn't want his children and grandchildren to be self-motivated and greedy for pleasure because of this promise.

On February 11 of the first year of Xiping, Cao Teng, president of the Imperial Bank of Dahan, submitted his resignation on the grounds that he was ill.

Liu Hong rejected Cao Teng's resignation on the grounds that Cao Teng had worked hard and had a high degree of merit and my arms.

On February 12, Cao Teng went to the table again, but he still resigned due to illness.

In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Hong sincerely allowed Cao Teng to temporarily recuperate, and returned to the court to participate in politics after he recovered from his illness.

On 13 February, Cao Teng resigned again on the grounds that he was sick and could not enter the court, and that he was also a minister who had recovered from the chaff.

Liu Hong was 'helpless', so he had no choice but to show sadness and allow Cao Teng to resign, and increase his food by 1,000 households to show his high merit.

Subsequently, as the president of the Dahan Royal Bank, Liu Hong ordered Sinong Qiao Xuan to set up a household department, and an official should be in charge of the Dahan Royal Bank.

At this point, the post of president of the Dahan Royal Bank was concurrently held by the head of the household.

And after Cao Song returned to Beijing and learned about Cao Teng's incident, he changed his greed for money, so that everyone who had come into contact with him praised him.
