It also happened to knock King Zhao, this immature child who didn't know the height of the sky.

Let him have a long memory, without the support of their old ministers, he can't do anything.

There was a moment of silence between the two, each with a ghost.

Yuan Luo buried his vicious side deeply, who would dare to say that Yang Du looked down on him now, not on purpose?

A King Zhao who dares to assassinate the crown prince, how shallow can he be?

The officials and officials who came to the meeting are arriving at the Daming Palace one after another, and the huge front square is full of officials of various levels.

At this time, an official car entered the square.

There was a man in the car who seemed to be a feudal official, which gave people a bit of a feeling like a finale, and it was long overdue.

But his appearance made the originally calm atmosphere in the Xuanzheng Hall suddenly tense.

The history of Guazhou thorn in the Western Regions, Cao Kesheng.

Cao Ke, who was dressed in a second-grade court dress, was in a hurry, and there were many traces of fatigue on his body.

He had apparently arrived in a hurry.

Cao Kesheng, who strode up the stairs with an expressionless face, immediately attracted everyone's burning eyes.

He walked straight forward without squinting, and walked to the Danqi closest to the imperial platform before he put down.

This is the meeting area of the ministers of the second rank and above.

Cao Kesheng glanced at it, and immediately walked in front of Yuan Luo and Yang Du, and said to the end:

"Xiaguan Cao Kesheng, I have seen King Zhao and Yang Xiang."

Yuan Luo was not familiar with Cao Kesheng at all, he was very surprised that this famous assassin Shi recognized him at a glance?

King Zhao looked at him levelly and didn't say anything, just nodded and raised his right hand, which was half a salute.

Yang Du is not as big as Yuan Luo, after all, he is a royal bloodline, I saw him bow his hand slightly, which can be regarded as a salute in return, and then with a smile, he asked:

"Lord Cao is thousands of miles away, and he also rushed over, and it was hard work."

The age difference between the two is fifteen or sixteen years, and they used to be officials in the same dynasty six years ago, but Cao Kesheng at that time had just come from the local area, and he was very modest to regard himself as a junior.

The two are both characters in Cao Qichang's camp, and they are even more intertwined.

After many years, the two appeared again in front of the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, but their identities and statuses were very different.

At this time, Cao Kesheng was a second-grade assassin, a proper feudal official, with old and spicy methods and capable actions.

The key is the royal celebrity of the prince of the prison country.

Yang Du, on the other hand, is standing still, although he is still the head of the civil bureaucratic system, his influence has been greatly weakened compared to before.

In the face of Yang Du's lukewarm greetings, Cao Kesheng was silent, and he replied without humility or arrogance:

"There is such a big incident in the Hexi Corridor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very angry, deliberately

The order summoned the subordinate officials to return to Beijing immediately to report on their work, how dare the subordinate officials slack off, and they finally caught up with each other day and night. ”

Yang Du didn't smile when he heard this, and grinned:

"In the Hexi Corridor of the Western Regions, the situation has been chaotic for many years, and the local officials and gate lords have participated in a lot of Lord Cao, and most of them are impeachments, and now there is such a big mess, how can Lord Cao explain it?"

This Yang Du's words suddenly changed, and his words became sharp.

Cao Kesheng was very calm when he heard this, "The lower officials are based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, proceeding from the fundamental interests of the empire, and only seeking a clear conscience and a clear conscience for all the people." ”

These words seemed to be deliberately said to Yang Du.

Because the imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory are the main force in this impeachment.

Yang Du glared at Cao Kesheng viciously after hearing this, and sneered:

"Good... Lord Cao, you have a clear conscience, that is, those people in the DPRK and China who impeach you and accuse you of being violent are guilty in their hearts? ”

"This, it's inconvenient for the lower officials to say more, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people." Cao Kesheng's answer was sonorous and powerful.

There was silence in the Xuanzheng Hall for a while, and no one dared to intervene.

Yang Du was provoked to be extremely angry.

He is twenty-two years old, two years older than Cao Qichang, a proper founding father, and can be said to be highly respected.

Cao Kesheng is a descendant of the younger generation he watched grow up, and because of Cao Qichang, he has also been cultivated for many years.

Later, the reform plan of the Ministry of Officials was different from the political views of Emperor Jiye, and Cao Kesheng became a scapegoat and was demoted to the county for five years.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around, he turned into a pioneer in the new regime of the crown prince.

At present, Cao Kesheng has been pushed out by the prince, and there are some signs of settling the ledger after the autumn.

The crown prince wants to carry out drastic changes in officials and slowly sweep out these old ministers.

And Cao Kesheng, who is now wearing a second-grade assassin official uniform, standing in front of him with his head held high, shouting that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, in the eyes of Yang Du, he is a despicable villain who betrays the interests of the family.

It is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of these former ministers.

If we don't take the opportunity to clear it, there will be no peace in the future.

"Cao Kesheng!"

Yang Du suddenly snorted coldly by name.

His eyes were cold, staring at Cao Kesheng, who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, and scolded angrily word by word:

"Yes, you're so good!"

"Don't forget, your skills were taught to you by Cao Xiang and the old man at the beginning, but now you stand straight in front of the old man and say a fair and comfortable word? Why, do you think it's right, it's justice? ”

Cao Kesheng was mentally prepared when he came, and in the face of Yang Du's public sarcasm and humiliation and reprimand, he did not mess up.

I saw that his gaze condensed into a line, and fell on Yang Du's already old face, and said awe-inspiringly:

"What is justice, everyone naturally has a scale in their hearts."

"Yang Xiang is right, the ability of Xia Guan's body was indeed taught by Cao Xiang and Yang Xiang, Xia Guan will never forget it for life, and I am grateful, but there is only one thing that is not taught by you, that is, the ability to judge the situation and distinguish between right and wrong."

When Yang Du heard this, his angry face twitched, and the cloudy black beads in his old eyes almost bulged, and he said indignantly:

"Good, good, it's really the old hunter pecked the eagle in the eye."

“？？？”

At this moment, a sharp singing sound interrupted the-for-tat confrontation between Yang Du and Cao Kesheng.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, all the ministers are standing in good positions!"

"Yang Xiang, please."

Cao Kesheng lowered his head, turned sideways to let Yang Du move forward, and he walked to the back edge of Danqi by himself, ranking last among the second-rank civil officials.

After all, there is a master-apprentice relationship between him and Yang Du.

Yang Du glared at Cao Kesheng's silhouette fiercely, snorted coldly, and threw his sleeves forward.

King Zhao, who had been watching from the sidelines, glanced meaningfully at Cao Kesheng, who had a solemn face, and followed Yang Du forward.

He has no official position, and of course he has no official title, but he is the king of the county, and he enjoys the treatment of being honored from the first rank, so he can naturally be ranked after Yang Du.

If the prince arrives at the palace, he will enjoy the treatment of the rank and honor, and should stand in the middle of the first row.

Then there are the other ministers, who are on both sides of the civil and military ranks, in order of title.
