Chapter 471: Menacing

Xu You could naturally feel the various targets around him, but he didn't move like a pine, his eyes didn't squint, and his face was righteous.

Xun Yu glanced at Zhong Yu and the others, looking thoughtful.

In fact, it was already rumored outside that the Cao family was 'encroaching on people's land, buying and selling officials', but I didn't expect that Xu You already had tangible evidence.

"Is there any evidence to prove that Cao Gong was indeed involved in the case?" In the silence, Zhong Xuan looked at Xu Youdao.

Xu You was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said, "No, however, Cao Song is the sect master of the Cao family, and there is no escaping the crime." ”

Zhong Xuan's face was solemn and said, "What I ask is, is there any tangible evidence?" ”

Xu Yu looked at Zhong Yu, glanced at Xun Yu again, understood what he meant, pretended to hesitate for a while, and said, "Xing Cao hasn't found out yet." ”

Xun Yu's heart was secretly relieved, and he nodded: "Okay." For those involved in the case, the criminal Cao can be arrested, and those who are involved in Cao Gong, Cao Cao, or other criminal Cao Cao who have no right to arrest must be reported to Shang Shutai, and they must not make decisions without authorization. ”

Listening to Xun Yu giving him a rope noose, Xu Yu quietly touched his triangular beard and said, "If it is found that Cao Song or Cao Cao are involved in the case, and the two have bad intentions, can the punishment of Cao be cheap?" ”

"No!"

Xun Yu categorically vetoed, his eyes became stern, and said: "Xu Yu, the prime minister has words first, if you don't follow the rules and ignore Shang Shutai, the prime minister has the right to dismiss you from your official position!" ”

Xun Yu's voice fell, and the hall was silent.

According to the rules of the imperial court after the restructuring, the prime minister and Shang Shutai have no right to appoint, dismiss, transfer, or even punish the six Cao Shangshu and the squire.

However, before leaving Beijing, Liu Wei gave Xun Yu privileges, and Shang Shutai could dismiss all officials of the Six Cao Nine Temples under the unanimous opinion of Shang Shutai.

Now, Liu Wei 'has not returned to Beijing', and Xun Yu still has this privilege.

The courtiers looked at each other with different expressions, secretly vigilant.

Xun Yu has always been a gentleman as gentle as jade, rarely quarrels with others, gets angry, acts in a gentle manner, and is not in a hurry.

This is the first time that such a public deterrent of a Cao Shangshu has been carried out!

Xu Yu's face was very ugly, and he was angry and hateful in his heart, he had an indifferent face, and he didn't answer Xun Yu's words at all.

Luan Jia is already in Hedong, and he will arrive in Beijing in a day or two at most, and as soon as His Majesty returns to Beijing, what if you Xun Yu is the prime minister!

Behind me, there are nobles behind me!

Xun Yu didn't do any more persecution, but Xun Yu didn't want to let him go, and said coldly: "Xu Shangshutai, Shangshutai will punish Cao's squire in the near future, and Lang Zhong will make adjustments, and he will report to Ling in advance at that time." ”

Xu You's face changed sharply, he looked at Xun You, and said in a deep voice: "Xun servant shooting, according to the regulations of the imperial court, each Cao Shilang and Langzhong are recommended by Shangshu. ”

"Yes, Shang Shutai is just making adjustments, this is Shang Shutai's power, and Cao Cao must not disobey orders." Xun You said lightly.

Xu You still wanted to say that what could be seen was the cold and forced gaze of Xun You, Zhong Xuan, and Xun Yu.

He looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was helping him, he was very angry in his heart, and sat back with a blue face.

Although he has someone behind him, but in Shangshutai, he is still just a small criminal Cao Shangshu, who has neither power nor power, and he can't compete with the three of Shangshutai at all!

Everyone took in everything, looked at each other quietly, and felt pressure in their hearts.

Shang Shutai's constant tightening of power was not good news for the chief officials of their various Cao and temples.

However, Tian Feng was very calm, and in the silence, he said: "Prime Minister, now speaking, it is Cao Cao's case, which will be judged by the Three Law Divisions. Cao's other cases are under the exclusive responsibility of the criminal Cao, is the understanding of the lower officials correct? ”

Xun Yu groaned a little and said, "Not bad." The trial must be concluded as soon as possible, and it must be justified and evidence-based, without delay and repetition, and the final word must be finalized! ”

Xun Yu's meaning is very simple, the influence of 'Cao Cao's slaughter of the three cities' is too great, and the three law divisions must be completely ended and cannot be entangled.

The imperial court did not have the energy to be pulled by these things, and the implementation of the 'new policy' was their most important task.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Tian Feng said. He doesn't care about Cao Cao and Cao's affairs, he has his plan.

Xu You and Xi Zhicai also raised their hands and said, "The next official will receive the order." ”

Xun Yu looked around and saw that no one spoke, so he finally suppressed these voices.

He leaned over and whispered a few words to Zhong Xuan, and then said, "The discussion has been decided, so we will plan to act." The prime minister repeats it again, everything must be done according to the plan of Shang Shutai, and anyone who acts recklessly and spoils the overall situation will never be spared! ”

Xun Yu took the official position of prime minister, what else can anyone here?

"The lower officials obey the order!" The crowd raised their hands in unison and responded loudly.

Xun Yu got up and walked out of the side door.

Those present left the small conference hall one after another and left the palace one after another.

Chen Gong quietly pulled Huangfu Jianshou, walked side by side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huangfu, please tell me a word, is it really okay?" ”

Huangfu Jian glanced at Wang Lang and the others, who were not far away, and his steps were deliberately slow, and he whispered quietly: "Don't worry. In addition......"

"Huangfu Shangshu,"

Before Huangfu Jianshou finished speaking, Zhou Yi suddenly walked over quickly, ignoring Chen Gong, and directly whispered: "Huangfu Shangshu, the old queen mother has entered the palace." ”

Huangfu Jianshou looked puzzled and said, "What doubts does Zhou Fuyin have?" ”

Zhou Yi saw that Chen Gong was standing still, and he didn't care about anything else, so he directly pulled Huangfu Jianshou to the side, and said in a low voice: "Cao Song went to Chen Liu's palace yesterday. ”

Huangfu Jianshou's face changed slightly, and his heart changed rapidly.

Cao Song's identity is very complicated, he is not only the adopted son of Cao Teng, the third generation of Changqiu, but also the Taiwei in the first emperor dynasty, and has a strange relationship with many families such as the Xiahou family.

Especially after Cao Cao's sudden rise, the Cao family is also rising in the Han family, as if he is about to become one of the largest families in the world!

Now, Cao Song actually went to Chenliu Palace, and the old queen mother entered the palace today?

Is there a connection? Does the Cao family have any unknown relationship with Chen Liuwang?

"What to do? Does Luoyang City have to make any preparations? Zhou Yi asked worriedly.

As the Yin of Luoyang Mansion, Zhou Yi is in charge of six lieutenants, and he is more or less a little strong.

Huangfu Jianshou quickly calmed down, carefully analyzed it in his heart, looked up in the direction of Shang Shutai, and said, "What you can know, Shang Shutai probably knows one step ahead." Let's not move for a moment and take a look. By the way, that Sun Ce has arrived in Beijing? ”

Zhou Yi secretly sighed to himself, and said without concealment: "Yes, I came to find Xia Guan last night, but there was nothing else, just a simple visit." ”

Huangfu Jianshou looked at him with a different look and said, "He told you?" ”

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Tell me what?" ”

Huangfu Jianshou looked at his expression and said along with the words: "Then you didn't guess?" ”

Zhou Yi was stunned, his eyes widened, he looked at the palace and said, "You mean ......?"

"Silence."

Huangfu Jianshou interrupted him lightly and said, "Okay." You go and call Sun Ce to Bing Cao, I have something to explain to him. ”

Zhou Yi immediately felt that the water in Luoyang City was terrifyingly deep, and it was only now that he realized that His Majesty in the palace had actually returned to Beijing a long time ago!

Zhou Yi's mouth was dry, his heart was worried, and he said, "Okay, okay, I'll do it." ”

When Zhou Yi came, Chen Gong came over and said, "Zhou Fuyin seems to be very flustered?" ”

Huangfu Jianshou shook his head helplessly, and suddenly said: "Wu Jing is jumping up and down, aren't you worried?" ”

Chen Gong's expression was calm, and he said: "Gongcao can hold on for the time being, Shang Shutai's strategy of holding off is right." ”

With the sudden arrival of the flood season, the corruption involving the river broke out one after another, and the government and the opposition were worried.

And Shang Shutai's strategy is not to check it for the time being.

If you really want to investigate thoroughly, the Gongcao, Hucao, and even the Yushitai in Luoyang City will be implicated, and there will be countless local officials.

Huangfu Jianshou nodded, looked at the direction of Shangshutai again, and said, "Shangshutai princes, it's really not easy. ”

The huge pressure is all in Shangshutai, relatively speaking, they are much less bearing.

Chen Gong swept away, and saw that Wang Lang had not gone far, and said, "Wang Shangshu seems to want to say something to you?" ”

Huangfu Jianshou's body did not move, pretending not to see it, and said, "What do you think of today's events?" ”

Chen Gong looked pensive and said, "The princes of Shangshutai are a little anxious. ”

Huangfu Jianshou also felt this way, and said, "What do you think, what will be the direction?" ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he was silent for a while, but he still didn't speak.

In the case of 'Cao Cao's slaughter of three cities', the imperial court actually had a consensus, that is, 'cold treatment', asking for accountability, and exposing it.

But now that the big case of 'Cao's encroachment on people's land, buying and selling officials' has broken out, at the beginning of Jian'an, when the imperial court was vigorously implementing the 'five-year policy outline for Jian'an', it was extremely difficult for the imperial court to lift it high and put it down gently.

Once the Cao family is severely punished, then Cao Cao will not be able to escape!

Cao Cao is the Great Sima Mansion has a Sima, in fact, the Great Sima, and the key person to implement the 'military reform', if he is convicted or dismissed, it will be a huge blow to the imperial court!

In particular, Chen Gong thought about it, and the government and the opposition couldn't find a person who could replace Cao Cao!

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others are all young juniors, and they can't support the Great Sima Mansion, as for Liu Bei, Huangfu Jianshou and others, they are even more hopeless.

Huangfu Jianshou saw that he was silent, and he didn't bother, looking at the direction of Shangshutai by himself.

Wang Lang, who was not far away, waited for a long time, and when he saw that Huangfu Jianshou just refused to come, he knew that he intended to avoid him, so he shook his hand and strode away.

Huangfu Jianshou Yuguang saw Wang Lang leaving, pulled Chen Gong to turn around, and said, "Talk while walking." ”

Chen Gong was still pondering, and said: "If Cao Cao is dismissed, many things need to be started all over again, and the potential harm is too great. Cao Cao's former generals were scattered everywhere to lead the troops. ”

Huangfu Jianshou was just about to speak, when he suddenly looked at a small official of Shangshutai hurriedly running out, and couldn't help shouting: "What is so panicked? ”

The little official recognized Huangfu Jianshou and Chen Gong, and hurriedly stopped, raised his hand and said: "Back to the two Shangshu, it is the prime minister who wants to summon Cao Song, and the villain is going to give an order." ”

Huangfu Jianshou was not surprised, and waved his hand.

The little official saluted again and left in a hurry.

Chen Gong looked at his back and said, "Looking at it now, Shang Shutai also wants to make a big thing into a small thing for the Cao family. ”

Huangfu Jianshou paced and said: "I'm afraid that I can't be Shangshutai, that Xu Yu is menacing, and I know from what he said just now that he won't give up easily." ”

Chen Gong pondered for a moment and said quietly: "What do you think, what attitude does Your Majesty have?" ”

Seeing that he mentioned Liu Wei, Huangfu Jianshou took a deep breath and said, "This is also what I'm worried about. His Majesty has protected Cao Cao too many times, and with the incident of the Cao family, His Majesty's attitude may change. But as far as the current situation is concerned, Shang Shutai's approach is the most secure, but ...... His Majesty would never accept such a steadiness. ”

Chen Gong nodded lightly and said, "I also heard a piece of news, saying that it was Zhong Servant who took Cao Song's seventeenth daughter and Cao Cao's seventeenth sister as a concubine. ”

Huangfu Jianshou was stunned and stunned, looked at Chen Gong with some surprise, and said, "Where did you hear it, is it accurate?" ”

Everyone knows who Zhong Miao is, and the relationship between the 'Yingchuan Party' and Cao Cao has been very tense for many years.

Why did this Zhong Xuan take the Cao family as a concubine in this special period?

Chen Gong looked at him and said, "The news should be true, but I don't know the specific situation." ”

Huangfu Jianshou turned to look at Shang Shutai again, his eyes were strange and inexplicable, and said: "If this is spread out, I'm afraid the 'Yingchuan Party' will fry the pot." ”

Chen Gong also felt a deep headache about the complexity of the court situation, and said: "Let's take a look again, I hope there won't be a big mess." ”

Huangfu nodded stiffly, at this time, he wanted to ask his younger brother very much, but his younger brother's identity was too sensitive, and the guilt still suppressed this impulse.

Changle Palace.

The two empress dowagers were side by side, on both sides were Liu Wei's harem, and in front, there were several children playing.

Today's Empress Dowager He is pampered and graceful, especially looking at her grandchildren, who is kind and amiable.

The old empress dowager Dong is expressionless, not angry and arrogant, with a high forehead, big eyes, and thin face, giving people a feeling that everyone is cross-browed.

Empress Dowager He squinted at Empress Dowager Dong and said with a smile on her face: "Queen Mother, this is your great-grandson, you haven't given him anything yet, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Dong didn't look at her at all, just looked at a few children.

Liu Yu, Liu Jing, Cao Pi, He Yan...... These children, Empress Dowager Dong is very unfamiliar.

In addition to not being in the palace for many years, the most important thing is that she feels sorry for Liu Xie, who has been brought up since she was a child, and has no feelings for Liu Wei, who was born to Empress Dowager He.

Two grandchildren, in her heart, one is, the other is nothing.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong didn't say anything, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were proud, and she said: "Queen Mother, I, since I became a grandmother, I found that it is not easy to be a grandmother, so many grandchildren, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and I feel distressed when I touch them, so ah, I take them with me from time to time, and I can't eat or sleep when I don't see it at any moment......"

Empress Dowager Dong naturally knew that this poisonous daughter-in-law was secretly crazy about her, so she snorted coldly in her heart and said lightly: "I want to see Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty has not returned to Beijing yet." Empress Dowager He said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help it, turned to her and snorted coldly: "You keep this set to coax those fools." I must see him today. ”

Empress Dowager He Shi Shiran got up, pulled a few children and said, "Good grandson, go, grandmother will take you to see the flowers, and make you some delicious ...... at night."

Several six or seven-year-old children cheered, surrounded the Empress Dowager He, and jumped out step by step.

Empress Dowager Dong was not in a hurry or annoyed, she sat there, slowly closed her eyes, and said something in her mouth, as if she was worshipping God.
