"Your Majesty"

Wang Rong knelt in front of Cao Chao and opened his mouth tremblingly.

Wang Rong is also a person who has seen the world.

However, in this situation, it is difficult for him to remain calm.

Cao Chao's hand is really scary.

Unpredictable, he never thought that after he returned home, he would actually meet the emperor staying in his own mansion.

Wang Rong's mind was blank at such a moment, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to say.

Cao Chao just stared at him coldly.

The cold wind blew and blew Cao Chao's clothes, but Cao Chao's face was as gloomy as water.

"In the past few days Wang Rong, have I ever despised you?"

"Your Majesty, no."

"That's a lack of money, making you hungry?"

"This"

"Tell me!!"

"It's not."

"Then why do you want to make such a shameless move, I treat you as a national soldier, hold banquets and entertain you all day long, and debate the classics with you, you are only thirty years old, I let you be a minister Huangmenlang, but you dare to take bribes, rob other people's real estate, and build a mansion for yourself"

"Those traitors in the Imperial Observatory were also recommended by you."

"Wang Rong, Wang Rong, are you still a famous person of the Great Wei? Is it still a model scholar?! ”

Cao Chao's tone became more and more indifferent.

Wang Rong was trembling at the moment, he finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, those people recommended by the ministers are not without talent, they are all appointed and dismissed after the consent of Gong Zheng, they already have the ability to serve, and it is definitely not because of bribery."

"The minister didn't plunder the family property, he spent money to buy it, and this is not a crime."

"As for the bribes, they gave them gifts, but the minister just didn't refuse, and he didn't ask them for money."

Wang Rong hurriedly explained.

Cao Chao suddenly sneered.

"I see, you are not guilty, the money is given by others, the courtyard house is bought by yourself, and this official is arranged by Zheng Shangshu"

Wang Rong hurriedly changed his words, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." ”

"No, didn't Fang just say that he was not guilty? Why is it sinful again? ”

Cao Chao slowly walked in front of Wang Rong, lowered his head, and stared at him.

"Wang Rong, are you guilty or not?"

Wang Rong slowly raised his head at this moment, but for some reason, under Cao Chao's gaze, he was speechless.

Looking at Wang Rong, who was speechless, Cao Chao laughed.

"Arrest them and send them to the Criminal Department."

"Thoroughly investigate his family wealth, and take down many of his clansmen together."

"Yui!!"

The soldiers said yes, and then they took action, and Wang Rong was directly thrown into the prisoner car by the soldiers, and quickly left here.

Cao Chao walked to Wang Rong's study and stood at the door, Cao Chao looked at the glittering golden piece in the room, there was no anger in his eyes, only unspeakable sadness.

He didn't know how much of the blood and tears of the people had been stained with the treasures of this house.

He also didn't understand why Wang Rong could be corrupted so quickly.

The pursuit of beauty and enjoyment, this is naturally reasonable, everyone in the world has such a right, including the new Xuzhou Thorn Shi Hu Wei, people like to wear good-looking clothes, this is not a problem at all.

The problem is that this cannot be obtained by oppressing the people and paying bribes and corruption.

In these days, Cao Chao has improved the treatment of the army, and various appointments have also cost a lot of money, and disaster relief is the most expensive, but Cao Chao has never felt the financial pressure, why is this?

It's because he kills people and raids his house from time to time.

Each of these people is too large to be richer than a fat pig, and one can be eaten for years after killing one.

Soon, Cao Chao left here, and Wang Rong's mansion was officially raided and sealed off.

When Wang Rong had an accident, Zhong Hui did not arrive at the other party's mansion in time.

Because, He Zeng who suddenly appeared disrupted part of Zhonghui's plan.

He Zeng and Zhong Hui's positions are not actually in conflict, they are both to help the emperor solve the opponent.

But in terms of ideas, the two people are very different.

When Zhong Hui learned that He Zeng was going to replace Zheng Chong as Sikong, Zhong Hui was stunned for a long time.

Zhong will not like this person very much.

And after He Zeng arrived at the Yushitai, the first thing he did was to drive out the people of Zhonghui, claiming that he would rectify himself.

This made Zhong Hui even more displeased, and the two had already begun to have some disputes.

After all, Wang Rong's news could not be hidden.

The day after he was taken away, there was an uproar throughout Luoyang, and it seemed that everyone knew about it, and the scholars were even more shocked by it.

The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest have a very high reputation among the people, and in the eyes of those young scholars, they are the most virtuous people in the world, how can they be arrested?

In history, after Sima Zhao arrested Ji Kang, it also triggered a collective protest by ten people, and this time was no exception.

The scholars were very angry about this, so they immediately gathered and rushed to Sima Zhao's mansion.

That's right, this matter was handled by General Wei.

When General Wei came to his senses because of the noise outside, he was even a little confused.

He didn't know what was going on outside.

He changed his clothes, and then called the little officer who was in charge of guarding him.

"Li Jun, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? ”

Sima Zhao was very serious.

The little official replied: "It was because the general arrested Wang Rong, the Huangmenlang of the Ministry of Officials, so ten people were dissatisfied and came to insult them." ”

Sima Zhao almost jumped up.

"Wang Rong? How have I been"

Sima Zhao also reacted at this moment, it must be that dirty thing that arrested people in his own name again.

Wang Rong He knows, this guy has always been friendly with the Sima family, his father has a good relationship with him, I heard that he is also very talented, what did the emperor do with him?

Forget about it, why use your own name?

Sima Zhao was half dead at the moment, but he was powerless to explain.

At the beginning, Cao Cao held the emperor hostage and issued orders to various places in the name of the emperor, at least here in Cao Wei, they all thought that the orders at that time were really issued by the emperor, and at the bottom, even more so, they all believed that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was governing various places and issuing edicts.

And now, Cao Chao is reproduced again, it is in the name of General Wei to order things to do, or the same reason, no matter what you think in your heart, as long as you are still in Cao Wei's territory, you have to admit it.

Sima Zhao was sad and indignant, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what else have I done in these days?" ”

The official shook his head, "That's what I don't know, but don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely not let them bully the minister like this." ”

The other party didn't explain clearly, so he left in a hurry.

Sima Zhao is more and more angry the more he thinks about it, now he has become a toy in Cao Chao's hands, he has to open his mouth for the emperor when he is in court, and he has to lend his name to the emperor when he is not in court, all kinds of books and tables, Sima Zhao doesn't even know what he is on today.

This is really a bit deceitful, even your great-grandfather has never bullied Emperor Han Xian like this, at least people still tell me!!

Sima Zhao scolded in his heart, but he didn't remember that Cao Chao's current set of things were all learned from them.

The anger of the scholars had long been expected by Cao Chao.

But he didn't care.

Sure enough, the newly appointed lieutenant Guo Jian took the armor soldiers to attack and directly and forcibly hedged these soldiers.

Guo Jian didn't care about the identities of these people at all, but only warned them to leave quickly, and sentenced Wang Rong to the crime.

Of course, these brave men would not have taken these warnings seriously.

Even when Sima Shi was still alive, they all dared to rise up and make trouble.

Anyway, no one dares to take the risk to do something with them, and the last one to do it with them is still the Ten Permanent Servants, just look at the reputation of others.

However, these scholars didn't expect that Guo Jian really didn't care about these.

Guo Jian was originally a thug cultivated by the Guo family, and his brain was not too bright, but his mobility was not bad.

Besides, these scholars are not very strong compared to Cao Chao, and for people who have no morals, where do they care about their reputation in Shilin?

So, after Guo Jian saw that these people were unwilling to leave, he immediately ordered the soldiers to arrest them.

For the first time, the scholars had seen such reckless men.

It can only be said that they were born too late and have never seen the end of the Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were unceremonious to the leaders of these scholars, and they were often arrested and tortured to death.

What the eunuch can do, Guo Jian can obviously do it, within a moment, the scholars began to scream, the swordsmanship they are proud of on weekdays completely lost its effect when facing the armor, and someone just pulled out the sword, and was pierced through the body by the armor with a spear.

This sudden turn of events made the old guys who were hiding in the shadows, ready to use these young scholars to persecute the emperor, turn around and run away in fright.

It turns out that these people are not as good as those scholars in the late Han Dynasty.

If you want to capture the scholars at the end of the Han Dynasty, you need to at least transfer the elite forbidden army, and to deal with these weak and undressed soldiers, even if they are just some more pawns, they can easily do it, they were beaten and scattered, many scholars did not understand at all, why they dared to do it to themselves.

For the first time, the people who are high up on weekdays have felt the power of the armor.

They never took these armorers seriously, and when they encountered patrolling armor soldiers blocking the road, they dared to hit these people with a carriage.

However, when the armor soldiers were no longer bound by their hands and feet, their wine bags and rice bags were wiped out in a matter of moments.

Sima Zhao listened to the movement outside.

Even if he didn't go out, he could think about what was going on outside.

When the screams stopped, the soldiers escorted people out of the door, and the sound of someone sprinkling water and washing the floor was heard, Sima Zhao couldn't help but shudder.

Then he trembled and walked into the inner room, and he no longer had the heart to ask the emperor for an explanation.
