Chapter 59: Prime Minister Cao Cheng

"Ling Lang is young and vigorous, and he likes to go to the hook bar to listen to music, but it's nothing."

Yu Jing stood up to play a round and said to Gongsun Qing with a smile,

"Childe don't need to be discouraged, Youwang is a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't take long to jump."

"What does Changshi mean by that?"

Gongsun Qing said with some doubts.

"Guocheng has sent a messenger to Luodu overnight to visit Prime Minister Cao Cheng."

"What does this matter have to do with King You?"

Gongsun Qing's expression became more and more dazed.

"Gongzi doesn't know, the reason why King Youwang was abolished as the crown prince is also related to Prime Minister Cao Cheng in the final analysis."

Yu Jing patiently explained.

"I seem to have heard someone mention it, saying that it was King Youwang who offended Prime Minister Cao."

Gongsun Qing frowned slightly.

"What happened to that matter, outsiders have no way of knowing. But what is certain is that there must be a lot of grievances between Prime Minister Cao Cheng and King You. ”

"Otherwise, Prime Minister Cao Cheng would not have united with hundreds of civil and military officials to ask His Majesty to abolish the crown prince of King You."

"In that case, if he knew that Youwang was concentrating on development and business here, how could he sit idly by?"

Yu Jing smiled and groaned.

"I see!"

Gongsun Qing suddenly realized.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng leaned towards the government and the opposition, and responded to the court in the court.

Sometimes, even today, I have to follow his advice.

If he knew that Ji Lie was thriving in Youzhou, he would definitely suppress Ji Lie!

No wonder Yu Jing would say that Ji Lie is a grasshopper in autumn, and it won't last long!

"In the next few days, let's just wait patiently for Prime Minister Cao's reply."

"Qing'er, don't you want to go out and mess around again, and give Youwang an excuse to do it."

Gongsun He commanded in a deep voice.

"The child is commanded!"

Gongsun Qing nodded, and the unhappiness in his heart vanished.

When Ji Lie is suppressed, Youzhou is still their grandson's family who has the final say!

……

The world respects the right.

The Great Xia Imperial Palace is located in the north of the city of Luodu, so the east of the city is equivalent to the right.

Most of the residences of civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor are located in the east of the city.

In the large-scale and magnificent city of Luodu, the messenger sent by Gongsun River crossed the street and hurried to a mansion and stopped.

I saw the gate carved from sandalwood, spacious and heavy.

There is a huge red door plaque hanging above, with three big characters of "Prime Minister's Mansion" written on it.

On each side stands a majestic stone lion with a majestic demeanor.

There were also several halberd-wielding guards, guarding both sides of the gate, vigilantly watching passers-by.

When the messenger of Gongsun River stepped forward and made his intentions clear, it didn't take long for him to be called into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the spacious and bright lobby, a middle-aged man sat in the hall.

He has a deep temperament, frosty white sideburns, and a gleam in his eyes from time to time.

Although he was wearing a civilian robe, he sat there with a heavy majesty.

He is the prime minister of Great Xia, who controls the court and has a high prestige, Cao Da.

Cao Da put down the letter in his hand and looked at the messenger of Gongsun River with an expressionless face,

"What Gongsun He said in the letter, but is it true?"

"Back to Prime Minister Cao, every sentence is true! Now that the king is in the secluded land, it can be described as rampant and domineering. If you don't stop it, it will become a climate in the future, and it will be troublesome. ”

The messenger looked like he was about to say something.

"Do you have any proof?"

Cao Da asked coldly.

"This ...... Not really. ”

The Messenger said honestly.

Whether it was Moutai wine or recruiting troops, Ji Lie did it extremely cleanly, and he didn't let Gongsun He catch the handle at all.

"Okay, you go back and tell Gongsun He, and say that the prime minister knows about it."

Cao Da waved his hand.

When the messenger left, he groaned as he touched his chin.

Cao Da never thought that after Ji Lie, the crazy waste prince, went to the secluded land, he would be like a different person, and he would be very popular.

Even Sun He, the prince of the secluded land, couldn't help him.

Could it be that this guy was pretending to be crazy and stupid before?

If that's the case, this son's city is too deep!

Cao Da had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice,

"Someone, prepare a sedan chair!"

After a while, Cao Da took a sedan chair and came to the outside of the Great Xia Palace.

As the prime minister in charge of power, he had the right to enter and leave the palace freely.

The guards guarding the palace just checked their identities and quickly let them go!

Weiyang Palace.

Originally, it was the main hall where the Son of Heaven received the ministers and dealt with political affairs, but at this moment, there was a sound of bamboo.

An incomparably noble man in a dragon robe was sitting upright in the hall.

His appearance is very similar to Ji Lie, except that his face is pale, his eyes are blank, and he looks excessively drunk.

This person is Ji Lie's cheap father, Ji Hong, the current emperor of Great Xia.

Ji Hong drank a glass of wine while watching the singers in front of him dance.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in Ji Hong's ear.

Ji Hong frowned, and said reluctantly,

"Stop!"

As soon as he commanded, the musicians and singers stopped playing.

Immediately after Cao Da, he walked in from outside the palace and bowed to Ji Hong.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty!"

"The prime minister doesn't have to be polite!"

A smile squeezed out of Ji Hong's face,

"The prime minister is busy with government affairs, how can he have time to come today?"

Cao Da glanced at those musicians and singers, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes, but on the surface, he became more and more respectful.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has received news in the past few days, saying that Li Zhuo, the housekeeper of Youwang Mansion, died suddenly and violently."

"What do I think is important?"

Ji Hong waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a smile,

"Such a trivial matter, when it comes to the court meeting, let's discuss it again."

But Cao Da didn't mean to stop, but was right.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, now that Youwang's Mansion has no long history, Youwang is tyrannical in Youzhou City by virtue of his identity."

"The local officials and people are full of complaints."

"I also hope that Your Majesty will appoint the palace as soon as possible and go to teach King You."

Seeing that he was so unrelenting, Ji Hong frowned slightly, and immediately relaxed.

"What the prime minister said is very reasonable, I don't know who the prime minister can choose?"

"Zhang Ding in the household department is honest and honest, and his talents are outstanding, so he can be sent to Youwangfu to be a housekeeper."

Zhang Ding is Cao Da's cronies, and Cao Da recommended him as a sacrifice person, just to completely suppress Ji Lie!

However, after listening to his words, Ji Hong smiled and waved his hand,

"Zhang Ding is also a talented person, wouldn't he have wronged him by letting him go to Youwangfu to be a small housekeeper?"

"I have a suitable candidate, the prime minister might as well listen to it."

A strange look flashed in Cao Da's eyes,

"The minister would like to hear about it."

"How is Yang Qing of the Imperial History Mansion?"

Hearing this name, Cao Da was slightly stunned.
