Chapter 109: Being smart is mistaken by being smart
Today's King Xie is a bit angry, and he has dismissed several people from his posts in just one early dynasty, and Long Yan is furious.
The court officials standing in His Highness did not dare to breathe, and everyone was in danger, for fear that the next fold would hit their heads.
"I chose you from all over the country to let you take bribes and harm the people!"
The fold of the "pop pop" fell down, and everyone consciously bowed down and shouted "The emperor is angry".
Cao Yu stood at the end of the line, and his head was buried with him, but he had another thing on his mind.
Yesterday, he met Zhang Ze with wine to kill his sorrows, although he didn't want to see Zhang Ze, but Cao Yu still listened to some of what Zhang Ze said, such as: Zuo Qiansi wants to pull Cao Yu as a substitute for the dead ghost.
The emperor has been planning for a long time to find out the person who is greedy for ink, and this time it encountered a flood. The emperor also borrowed his strength, and the people who reformed him for a long time were all people he had been paying attention to. But Zhang Ze also reminded Cao Yu that Zuo Qiansi's "goodness" to him was abnormal.
As one of the most popular officials, Zuo Qiansi's reputation as a corrupt official is also well-known. This time, the emperor's punishment of people who are greedy for ink is also a reminder to them, if they don't act as the next one, they will start with them. Zuo Qiansi didn't want to be a ghost under the knife, so he thought of Cao Yu, who has always been "highly valued".
Let Cao Yu go to control the water, if he can stop the flood, the credit is left; If not, it is Cao Yu who will die. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while is exactly what it says.
Cao Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this. He knew that officialdom was like this, but he didn't want to be ousted so early, and he was thinking about what to do throughout the early dynasty.
It wasn't until the horse next to him patted him on the shoulder that Cao Yu knew that he was going down.
"Cao Yuanwailang, what do you want?"
Ma Juren smiled with a thief's eyebrows, he had already written down the incident of planting Cao Yu last night as an excerpt and handed it over, and the rest had to wait to watch the show. Thinking that Cao Yu was going to be unlucky, Ma Juren was happier than giving birth to a son, and he couldn't wait to walk upside down.
Cao Yu didn't want to pay attention to him, but today's Ma Juren is a little abnormal. In the past, he talked to himself for a while before leaving, why was he ready to leave today just by saying hello. It's like a big yellow dog that can't be fed at home suddenly stops biting, and I don't know what the owner fed him***.
Looking at the back of Ma Juren leaving proudly, Cao Yu fell into thought again.
"Isn't the whole ministry counting you as the smartest......
Before Cao Yu's feet entered the entrance of the official department, a fold flew to his feet. He picked it up curiously, and it was clearly written that he was drinking with Zhang Ze last night to find a girl. He instantly wondered, could it be that someone was still following? When I looked up again, I saw Ma Juren kneeling at Cheng Kun's feet, kowtowing one after another.
"Become an adult, don't dare to be small, don't dare anymore, you will spare the little one this time......"
Ma Juren, who was showing off his martial arts with Cao Yu a moment ago, is not as good as a bedbug lying at the feet of Cheng Kun at this time, who dares to believe this magical scene?
Cheng Kun's old face was twisted into a twist, and the people in the officials saw that he was acting. To put it mildly, Cheng Kun is the dog raised by Zuo Qiansi, and the dog owner is unhappy, so the dog will bark twice to make him happy.
Early today, when Zuo Qiansi received an excerpt from the big celebrity next to the emperor, Gonggong Li. Father-in-law Li said that he picked it up, but everyone understands what is actually going on. Zuo Qiansi saw that the excerpt was Cao Yu's, and he was almost so angry that he smoked, who was so immoral and pushed him to the guillotine? Look at the payment again, and submit it to the Ministry of Officials. Zuo Qiansi wanted to see if it was the unlucky one who wanted to hurt him.
The fold was handed over to Cheng Kun, and within two minutes, Cheng Kun saw that the initiator was Ma Juren. The last time Ma Juren was scolded for causing him bad in the song, it was not long ago, isn't this a heart.
Cheng Kun didn't talk nonsense, and immediately sent someone to find a name to slander the imperial court officials and let people drive them out, and then there was a scene where Cao Yu entered the door and saw the excerpt flying out.
Cao Yu quietly put away the fold and silently returned to his seat to start a new day's work. Ma Juren was still pleading, and he had said all the good things and nonsense, but Cheng Kun was determined to drive him away.
Ma Juren had no choice, so he walked all the way to Cao Yu's table and begged him for help, "Cao Yuanwailang, you quickly tell Master Cheng, our colleagues have no merit and hard work......
Cao Yu lowered his head to do things, and wrote quickly with the brush in his hand, as if he couldn't care about the unification of the horse.
At this time, two guards came in, took off the official hats of the horses and lifted the people, and led the people down. For a while, everyone seemed to be able to hear Ma Yitong's shouting of grievances.
At this time, the main hall of the Ministry of Officials was quiet.
Cao Yu suddenly stopped his pen and saluted Cheng Kun, "Lord Cheng, I think that Ma Yitong's crime is not enough to dismiss you, my lord, you ......."
Cheng Kun waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say any more, picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, and said slowly: "Ma Yitong slandered you for visiting flowers and asking willows, and spread rumors behind your back." If this kind of person is retained, it will be a scourge to the officials, and you don't have to intercede for him. ”
Hearing this, Cao Yu closed his mouth, and then he listened to Cheng Kun again.
"You also pack up, three days later to go to the north and south of the lake to rescue the people, I don't know when I can come back from this trip, where you must concentrate on the people, you must not starve to death, you know?"
Cao Yu responded, "I am willing to do my best for the people in the north and south of the lake." ”
In the end, he still did not escape the fate of taking the blame.
Cao Yu put away all the complaints, since he can't get rid of it, let's take one step at a time. It's just that I have to wronged Ling Xiu'er again. Before the two had a conflict, he was going to say goodbye again. thought that after becoming officials, the two could stay together for a long time, but the result was still not as expected.
At this time, Ling Xiuer was busy in the shop. Although the Maojia dyeing workshop has a hundred years of craftsmanship, she supervises every process and controls the quality of every piece of silk. Whether Tian Silk can be famous or not depends on her move.
Su Shi came in from outside with a small fan, and she had been busy greeting guests at the front desk, and her front placket was soaked. The fine silk wrapped her graceful figure, and the men who dyed the cloth in the dye shop all looked straight at her.
Ling Xiu'er quickly pulled Su Shi to the well in the backyard, which was leaning against a sour jujube tree, just to take advantage of the shade.
Su Shi fanned the small fan and complained, "Sister, the people in the capital are really rich, and I didn't even bargain for a long time." At this price, I sell it in Tu County, and those old ladies are estimated to smash the shop. ”
Ling Xiu'er was amused by her exaggerated analogy, "Sister Su, this has to be good for us." You've worked hard for the past two days, and after a while, I'll take you to the best silver building in the capital. ”
"Cheng, then I'm going to slaughter you well." Su Shi smiled with a crooked eye, and suddenly said: "The second batch of heavenly silk is already on the way here, I am afraid that something will go wrong and I am going to pick it up halfway, and then the store will look at you." ”
Ling Xiu'er nodded, "Don't worry, there are still shopkeepers and husbands here, you can go with confidence." ”
Su Shi smiled again and asked, "Then if I go, you and Cao Juren don't quarrel anymore, do you hear?" ”
Hearing this, Ling Xiu'er's smile faded, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and she replied softly, "Try your best." "Maybe Cao Yu will bring back a few women named Li Ping and Zhao Ping that day and want to marry them as concubines.
Ling Xiu'er thought like this in her heart, and the guy in front of her came to speak, "Miss Ling, Master Cao is here." ”
