Chapter 204: Angry Old Cao
"What Cao Guozhang said is that the emperor's grace is vast, and we as courtiers naturally have to do our best to be loyal to the country, and we must not do anything that is ashamed of the emperor. The prince is now responsible for liaising with the Tatars, but he must not live up to the emperor's trust.
"People, energy is limited in the end, especially people like Cao Guozhang who have been on the Spring and Autumn Period, their brains will inevitably be confused, you are busy with Tatars, and you can be distracted to come to our house as a guest, which is really admirable, but I still want to kindly remind you, you don't miscalculate the accounts and can't tell the priorities, and live up to the emperor's trust in you."
Qin Huaiyuan's voice was still as unhurried as usual, calm and elegant, and there was a faint smile when he listened carefully.
But in words, every sentence was sharply poked at Cao Guozhang's heart, and he held the thigh of the Tatar princess to curry favor with Emperor Dayan, and took advantage of the recovery to step on the Qin family.
Cao Guozhang's face was red and his ears were red, his feet stopped, he turned around and glared at Qin Huaiyuan angrily, and said with a trembling beard: "Okay, very good!" Anpinghou is really good, Xu is Anpinghou's former father-in-law is dead, and he has forgotten what attitude to use when talking to his father-in-law, right? ”
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Cao's uncle said that he laughed, I thought you didn't remember that I was still your son-in-law. ”
"You!" Cao Guozhang's fingertips trembled and pointed at Qin Huaiyuan fiercely, and he flicked his sleeves for a while and said, "You wait for me!" ”
"Guozhang is not in a hurry, I am here, waiting for you." Qin Huaiyuan smiled, his eyes cold.
Cao Guozhang only felt that all the scenery after his recovery, in Qin Huaiyuan's penetrating eyes, was like a beauty who had been stripped naked, all the beauty was gone, only humiliation was left.
At this time, several people had already walked to the Yimen, and Cao Guozhang also saw Qin Yining standing in front of the Hanging Flower Gate.
He was too lazy to pay attention to the daughter of the Qin family, but Qin Yining's handsome appearance was really too similar to Qin Huaiyuan when he was young, not to mention that there was a deep grudge between Qin Yining and the queen.
Last time, the queen wanted to use the flesh of a beauty to stay on her face, but she didn't use Qin Yining, but she killed the two concubines in the palace.
Cao Guozhang did not approve of the queen's approach. But his daughter is spoiled by herself, even if the queen does something wrong, Cao Guozhang is unwilling to admit that it is the queen's fault, and he attributes all the faults to Qin Yining.
If it weren't for Qin Yining's ruthlessness in making the queen angry, how could the queen be like this?
Cao Guozhang looked at Qin Yining with his hand and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Qin Si, and she almost became my granddaughter-in-law at the beginning." ”
Qin Yining had already listened to Qin Huaiyuan's-for-tat words with Cao Guozhang, and naturally knew his position at this time, so he just saluted according to etiquette, and said with a smile:
"The little woman didn't dare to climb high. The Cao family's family style is free and easy, and Cao Gongzi's actions have inherited the essence of the professors in your house, and the little girl is shallow in learning, has neither courage nor vision, and thinks that she is not worthy of Cao Gongzi's uninhibited character. ”
Cao Guozhang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He naturally knew that the empress wanted to give Qin Yining to his grandson Cao Chengjun in front of the emperor.
I don't know what Cao Chengjun thinks, but he actually made a tune to Qin Yining when he was in the palace
The drama is said to be more than just the tone of speech
play, but also moved his hands and feet, this matter was that the emperor was angry, and later called him into the palace to reprimand him, saying that he was not strict in governing the family, and his grandson was not good at teaching.
Qin Yining mentioned it now, it was simply a slap in the face!
"Good, good, good! is really a tiger father and no dog girl, with the same sharp teeth and sharp mouth. Cao Guozhang sneered.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Thank you Cao Guozhang for your praise, the little woman doesn't dare to be it, compared to the Guozhang and the queen's mother, the little woman is willing to bow down." ”
Cao Guozhang's hands trembled, and he felt that arguing with a little girl here was too ugly, and he also consciously said that he couldn't say that this pair of "fox" father and daughter was too much, so he simply brushed his sleeves and left.
It's useless to say anything, he just wants to kill them now!
"I won't be far away, and the country will go slowly." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and saluted.
Qin Yining also led his subordinates to salute.
Cao Guozhang walked very fast under the crown in anger, looking at the back as if he was running away.
Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan watched until everyone was far away, and the subordinates also closed the door, and Cao Guozhang could no longer be seen, and Qin Yining burst out laughing.
The second master wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously, "How is this good?" Sister Yi'er, can you still laugh? Didn't he exonerate everyone by talking like that just now? ”
Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan glanced at each other.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "Second uncle doesn't need to panic, even if we treat the Cao family politely, they should bully our family, I just heard the meaning of his words, is he trying to push some things on the head of my father and you?" ”
The second master nodded and said, "The household has been short of money for many years. In fact, there has long been that kind of unhealthy atmosphere in our court, many officials have borrowed money from the household department, and took the IOU to press the account in the household department, and now only the IOU is left without silver, the court needs money to fight, and the emperor wants to find capable people and skilled craftsmen also need money, so calculated, the silver is not enough, Cao Guozhang wants to use this matter to stab our hearts. ”
"He will think about it, and use this matter to say that my father is not doing well, and when the court is using silver, the emperor must be more concerned about this matter, if my father is pushed out, I am afraid the situation will not be good."
Qin Yining's worried brows tightened. The worried appearance is like the person who dared to confront Cao Guozhang in person.
Qin Huaiyuan shook his head, "This is called a closed-door disaster from the sky." I have already saved the heart of retreat, Yanju fishing, just waiting to accompany the emperor to live and die together, but people still took the initiative to come to the door. Second brother, you don't have to worry, even if I kneel down and beg him now, they won't be soft on us, I did say a lot of things under impulse today, but it was a lot more refreshing to say it, but it was difficult for you to be tired, and I was also implicated. ”
The second old man waved his hand and said: "Where did the eldest brother say, even if there is no such thing, we are still a family, your business is my business, for those who want to harm us, if they have the intention to harm others, how can they find an excuse, it is not bad this time." ”
Qin Huaiyuan smiled bitterly, completely lacking the spirit in front of Cao Guozhang.
At this time, he slumped his shoulders tiredly, and he was like the person who stood tall all the time in the past.
The father, daughter, uncle and nephew took their subordinates into the Weeping Flower Gate, and walked straight to the door of Cixiao Garden, Qin Huaiyuan sighed: "The emperor is attached to him, he naturally wants to take advantage of the present to harm our family, I think the general trend has gone now, the emperor's temperament, as long as Cao Guozhang gives him a little hope, and says that Tatar may come to help, even if the emperor immediately decrees my life, the emperor will not hesitate." I'm really ...... too."
When the second master heard this, he was so sad that he almost burst into tears.
Qin Huaiyuan has worked hard for the country for many years, worked hard, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the government and politics, but he didn't expect that until now, he would end up in such a situation, not only was he robbed of his official position and forced to think about it, but he was also bullied by dogs in Pingyang!
Qin Yining looked at Qin Huaiyuan and the second master worriedly.
She knows that it is really sad that people who have been loyal to the court all their lives have been suppressed to such a point by the emperor with the connivance of Cao Guozhang, and this kind of thing cannot be solved by others in a few words.
Qin Yining had to smile and said: "Father, second uncle, don't worry, I don't think this matter will necessarily get out of control, in the end, Cao Guozhang has no evidence now, and he can't go to the emperor to participate in his father, as long as we can't participate, we still have time, and we can always figure out a way." ”
Qin Yining smiled, her warm smile gave people the feeling of a sunflower bathed in the sun, making people feel full of vitality and hope.
Qin Huaiyuan shook his head with a smile, said no more, and entered the second gate.
This kind of thing can only be cold and warm self-aware, Qin Yining knew that no amount of persuasion was useless, so he followed to see the old lady.
At this time, the ladies and dependents all gathered in the old lady's house.
When Mama Qin saw Qin Huaiyuan coming back, she hurriedly replied to the house, and personally lifted the bead curtain at the door for Qin Huaiyuan, the second master and Qin Yining, and Jixiang lifted the olewood curtain made of yarn inside.
After entering the house, the subordinates immediately lowered the curtain neatly to isolate the mosquitoes that might fly into the house.
When the old lady saw Qin Huaiyuan, she hurriedly sat up.
"Meng Ge'er, what is Cao Guozhang here for? Is something happening again? I think if you don't stop him today, he'll bring someone in and raid the house. ”
"No, isn't that fine?" Qin Huaiyuan sat down next to the old lady, "You don't have to worry, it's not a big deal, it's just that now the war has to use silver, and the household can't get the silver, so I turned up some old things when I was the prime minister in the past, maybe I want to count the silver that is gone on my head." However, they don't have any definite evidence, so it's okay for the time being. ”
Okay for now?
When the old lady heard these words, her face turned blue with anger, and she was about to lose her breath.
Mama Qin, who was standing next to the old lady, hurriedly helped the person to lie down, persuaded softly, and fed saliva again, and the old lady's face looked a little better.
"Isn't this the end of the day, our Qin family? Meng Geer is an honest official, where would he do such a thing as being greedy for ink! This is called the sin of desire, and there is no excuse for it! ”
The old lady's words, the room full of children and dependents couldn't help but cry anxiously.
Now that their family is a tree is falling and scattered, after Qin Huaiyuan was forced to give office, the people who used to be close to him are now not moving, everyone knows what they know, and they don't bother each other, now that such a big thing has happened, who can be counted on to help Qin Huaiyuan say a word, it is simply more difficult.
However, now that Cao Guozhang is in power again, and he is the dominant family in the court, will he not take the opportunity to seek revenge?
Whoever is an official in the court has the right to speak.
And the second master is now just an official who is not tight in the Ministry of Rites, and Qin Huaiyuan has no official position.
Their Qin family now doesn't even have anyone to speak for them in the imperial court!
Everyone's faces were miserable.
Just when everyone was silent, and the old lady and the Sun family wept silently, Qitai's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!"
Qin Huaiyuan stood up and looked out of the screen window.
I saw Qitai standing under the porch, and the anxiety on his face was very clear under the light.
"What's the matter?"
"Master Hou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit, and collided with Cao Guozhang in front of the door, the two of them collided verbally, and they both scolded at this time, go and take a look!"
