Chapter 012: Guo Shi
"Shu-kun, right?"
"Come, please be seated."
The county magistrate stood in front of Wang Su after finishing it, without the slightest bit of his usual majesty, a smile appeared on his face, and his expression was extremely uneasy.
Wang Su saw his uneasiness, and asked casually:
"Who are you who is Longxi Taishoushu?"
Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "It's the brother of the family!" ”
Wang Su said with a smile: "I am close friends with Shu Gong, and when he was still studying in Xuchang, it was my father who recommended him to the temple. ”
"Since you are a member of Shu Gong's clan, sit by my side."
After finishing the great joy, he hurriedly saluted Wang Su, "There is such a relationship, these days, I have not been able to come to visit in time, please forgive me!" ”
Wang Su let him sit beside him, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
After greeting for a long time, Wang Su said with a smile: "I called you here today, mainly for the affairs of the noble townsman. ”
"The Queen Mother wants to support him as the emperor, but I think the noble townsman seems to have a lot of concerns."
"What does Shu Jun think of this duke?"
After bunching up, he pursed his lips and lowered his head, not daring to answer.
He didn't dare to slander this Duke Cao anymore, even if it was an emperor who was not in power at a young age, it would be easy to kill a county order.
He only needs to say a few words to the general, and the general will be happy to help him solve this little thing.
He has been pretending to be sick for the past few days, not daring to go out, and writing to his brother overnight, wanting to retire from his illness and hiding directly.
Wang Su pointed to the people around him and said: "Zheng Jun and Hua Jun are all loyal and good in the temple, and the warrior in front of the door is a cavalry governor under the command of the general, and they are all people who can be trusted. ”
"Besides, I'm asking you either as a Taichang or as your brother and friend, so don't be afraid."
Wang Su was very kind.
After the bundle, he didn't dare to be silent, the young emperor was terrible, wasn't Wang Su terrible?
He can't afford to mess with any of them.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Actually, the noble townsman is smart, but he is a little boyish..."
Huabiao couldn't help but say, "When we first came, you didn't say that. ”
"Just tell the truth, don't be afraid!"
Shu Wan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The noble township prince was originally quite notorious in the county. ”
"He went out frequently, indulged in pleasures, often went to restaurants, and somehow colluded with local merchants to get their money."
"The townsman was very greedy for money, and the merchants were deceived by him, and they did not dare to refuse, so they had to give money, and he used it to continue to enjoy themselves."
"In addition to colluding with businessmen and persecuting beloved, he also sheltered a lot of thieves."
"He used the money to help the thieves everywhere, kept them in the mansion, helped them escape from the pursuit of the county government, and then used them as his eagle dogs."
"He bullies the good people, but he likes to make friends with those unbearable hooligans, entangle a group of hooligans, fight fiercely, and do all kinds of evil!"
"The people in the county were afraid of him and did not dare to denounce him."
Wang Suhu asked suspiciously: "Then the anti-auxiliary orders and the prison officials around him don't care about him?" ”
"Guo Zhi is an old-fashioned and cowardly person, and he has repeatedly advised the township, but the townshipman disagrees."
"As for the confessor, he either drinks or takes disservice, and every day he runs around in disheveled clothes, how can he take care of it?"
Shu Wan's face was full of grievances, "Prince, don't you know, he even broke into the county government, didn't take the temple officials in his eyes at all, acted recklessly, and was arrogant, I really don't understand, why did the Queen Mother want him to inherit the unification?" ”
Wang Su fell silent and did not speak.
The knight standing at the door also sneered at this moment and said, "I'm also strange." ”
"In the past few days, those businessmen in Yuancheng seem to be enchanted, and they are trying to win people's hearts everywhere, saying that they have received the teachings of the townspeople."
"I think this townsman is crazy for fame, and he actually uses this vulgar method to invite fame."
"Only those lowly businessmen will be used by him, and only those despicable guilds will be bought by him, and the real virtuous people will disdain him."
"It's ridiculous that the townsfolk are self-deprecating, and they want to win over those rangers, businessmen, and hooligans!"
The knight said, his face full of mockery.
Obviously, the people's hearts in the eyes of these people are not the same as the people's hearts in Cao Chao's eyes.
They were dismissive of Cao Chao's behavior.
thinks that it is a despicable means of self-inferiority, corporal Lixian, and the premise is that he must be a sergeant.
And Cao Chao's behavior is simply unscrupulous in order to invite fame, and he is hungry and hungry.
Zheng Yuan and Huabiao were silent at the moment and didn't say anything.
Wang Su nodded, and then patted the shoulder, "Your reputation in the county is very good, you are a great talent who can be reused, you have to work hard, and you can't waste government affairs." ”
After finishing the bundle, he hurriedly received his life.
Only then did Wang Su let him retreat.
After finishing and leaving, Wang Su let out a long sigh.
"Send someone to Luoyang and tell you all the truth."
"Yui!!"
.........
Luoyang, Imperial Palace.
The Zhaoyang Hall is located in the north of the Taiji Palace, next to the Emperor's Dry Palace.
In front of the hall is the bronze dragon that is as high as four zhang, the copper phoenix, the dragon and the phoenix sculptures look at each other, highlighting the extraordinary here.
The hall has four gates, corridors and tigers, and these surround the Zhaoyang Palace, making it a huge palace.
Zhaoyang Hall is the residence of the queen, but at this moment, it is the residence of the queen mother.
In the temple, there were four people seated.
The Queen Mother sits on the top seat, the Queen Mother is no longer young, but there is no trace of time on her face, her beauty is still the same, she looks very kind, gentle, and people can't help but have a desire to protect when they look at it, which is probably why Cao Rong took a fancy to her at the beginning.
She doesn't have the aura of being the queen mother at the moment, and she looks very approachable.
And the few people sitting in front of her were her uncle Guo Li, cousin Guo Zhi, cousin Guo De, and cousin Guo Jian.
At present, the power in the palace is basically divided among the hands of these four people.
This is also where Guo's confidence lies.
Empress Dowager Guo picked up the letter and handed it to Guo Li in front of her.
"This is a letter from Zishou who sent a horse quickly, you can all take a look."
Guo Li hurriedly read it, his face changed greatly, and he immediately handed it over to the people around him to see.
"Fooling around !!"
Guo Jian immediately couldn't help it, and suddenly threw the letter on the ground.
"It's nonsense! Is this Guo blame reading stupid?! Supporting Cao Zhi, then what else is the matter with our Guo family? What else is going on with him?! ”
Empress Dowager Guo was very calm and looked at Guo De beside her.
"Yansun, what do you think?"
Guo De said calmly: "I now know why the emperor refused to succeed to the throne. ”
"What? He refused? ”
Guo Jian's face was dazed.
Guo De ignored his younger brother and continued: "Either the emperor is afraid of offending my father-in-law, or he is really worried that he will cause us to discord with the Sima family because of himself. ”
"Judging from the description in Guo Zishou's past letters, it should be the latter."
Guo Jian couldn't help but ask, "Maybe they deliberately made us think so?" ”
"Impossible, Guo blames this person, he won't lie, he is a pure gentleman, and he won't make any conspiracy."
"It seems that he has done a better job than we thought of this anti-auxiliary order, and he is stunned to teach the emperor to be like himself."
Guo De looked at the Queen Mother.
"The emperor can't be changed, it seems that he is more suitable to be this emperor than a year ago, an emperor with ordinary responsibilities, how good."
"This is a true virtuous king... It is exactly what the people of the world need. ”
The two looked at each other, their eyes glinting.
"Brother, what are we going to do? Now Cao Chao refuses to ascend the throne, if the Sima family directly pushes the boat down the river..."
Guo Jian asked again.
Guo De still didn't answer his younger brother, he just looked at the Queen Mother, and said seriously: "You still don't let go, just bite to death, you must personally hand over the emperor's jade seal to the other party..."
"Father, please go to your friends now, when Emperor Wen asked for three resignations, isn't it a good thing that today's son has the style of a grandfather?"
"Uncle, please strengthen the vigilance of the palace and don't let outsiders break in by mistake."
"I have to leave and talk to General Zhengxi."
Guo Jian hurriedly asked, "Brother? What about me? What am I going to do? ”
Guo De looked at his younger brother in a complicated manner.
"You... Go back to the study and read more. ”
