It is said that Liu Rong took Cao Shou, Wei Qing, Huo Zhongru and others to Guo Jie's residence.

On the way, Pingyang Hou Cao Shou came to Liu Rong's side and said mysteriously:

"Your Highness, there has been a small turmoil in the DPRK recently, I don't know if Your Highness knows?"

Hearing this, Liu Rong was interested and said, "Speak." ”

Cao Shou sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Recently, Emperor Xiaowen's tomb suffered an accident, and the subjects of the whole country were extremely sad."

"Yesterday, Prime Minister Tao Qing personally led the hundreds of officials of cultural relics to apologize to His Majesty, thinking that it was the officials who neglected their duties and led to the tragedy, and asked His Majesty to surrender."

"However, Your Majesty did not blame them, but was kind enough to persuade them."

Listening to Cao Shou's words, Liu Rong frowned: This is also called a problem? It's also worth saying?

The emperor's mausoleum was destroyed, and it was too normal for the prime minister to lead hundreds of officials to confess.

you.

However, under normal circumstances, it is just a formality, and the emperor will not really condemn the crime.

You must know that the prime minister in the early Western Han Dynasty was still a high-ranking and powerful person, and most of them were served by the founding heroes and princes, and the emperor was still very face-saving.

Unlike the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sangong is simply a mascot and a back-to-back man, and the replacement is like a marquee.

This month, there was a lot of rain and flooding, and the official position of the lieutenant was directly dismissed;

The lack of rain next month caused a drought, and Situ was directly dismissed from office;

If there is a first eclipse at the beginning of the next month, Situ will be directly removed from his official position because of his failure to repair political affairs.

is also the Three Princes, why is the gap between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty so big?

。。。。。。

Hearing that Prime Minister Tao Qing led hundreds of officials to write a letter of apology, Liu Rong was very disapproving, and said lightly: "That's it?" ”

Cao Shou was a little embarrassed, smiled, and continued: "On the prime minister's recital, all the officials have signed and seconded the proposal, but only one person is missing, guess who it is?" ”

When Liu Rong heard this, he thought about it and said, "Could it be that the imperial historian is wrong?" ”

Cao Shou immediately began to pat himself on the back, "Your Highness is really wise and martial, and when you guess it, this person is the Imperial Doctor." ”

I only heard him continue: "There are rumors in the DPRK that after the prime minister finished writing the recital, the first person to find was the imperial doctor, and asked him to sign a joint name. ”

Unexpectedly, the Imperial Doctor said that it was the Prime Minister's responsibility to inspect the cemetery at four o'clock, and not to interfere with the Imperial Doctor. He was not at fault, so he sternly refused to sign it, which made the prime minister's face ugly. ”

"Xiao Hou heard that after the prime minister returned to the mansion, he lost his temper and seemed to have a lot of complaints about the imperial doctor."

This little story is finished here, and Cao Shou has a little smile on his face, obviously laughing at Chao Cuo.

How can anyone do this? It's not a loss to be born in a local old hat!

He was incredulous at what he had done wrong.

Liu Rong listened to Cao Shou's story, nodded silently, and did not speak.

Cao Shou's reaction was as he expected, after all, the court didn't hate the wrong people, except for Emperor Han Jing, there was no one.

Chao Cuo is really an alternative.

。。。。。。

It's true that Chao Cuo is talented, and it's not false that Chao Cuo is loyal, but he is really not a normal person.

The evaluation of him in the history books is four words: steep and deep.

What is steep and deep? Strict, upright, harsh, ruthless.

If you have such a person around you, you must be itching with hatred at this moment.

If not, do you feel uncomfortable now bringing his personality to the people around you, such as parents, teachers, classmates, colleagues, and leaders?

That's right, that's how it feels.

There is no one in the court who has not offended, and most of the ministers do not like him.

Even many people are ashamed to be in the same room as Chao Cuo, and always deliberately avoid him, such as Yuan An.

In their opinion, Chao Cuo is a villain.

Chao was unscrupulous, relying on the unlimited curry favor with Emperor Han Jing to seek wealth.

Chao Cuo is a courtier, and they are ashamed to be with him.

What kind of man is he?

Liu Rong began to paint a portrait of Chao Cuo in his heart.

Loyal, capable, unsociable, grotesque, ruthless, harsh, unkind, unscrupulous in order to achieve the end, often despicable—

Taken together, these words form a mistake.

Suddenly, a very apt word appeared in Liu Rong's mind:

Lonely minister, which means a lonely courtier.

That's right, maybe Chao Cuo is the lonely minister of the Han Dynasty.

No, to be precise, it should be the lonely minister of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
