"Smack!"

Liu Xie slapped it on the armrest, and the crisp sound resounded through the hall.

As if he had made a decision, Liu Xie looked straight ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Then according to Qing's opinion, tomorrow I will also take a look at the hearts of the people in this court." ”

"However, I don't want to punish these people lightly, and I also ask the prime minister to order the Dali Temple and the school government to make full preparations in advance tonight," Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao with a majestic and majestic gaze, "I, I will punish him severely as appropriate, if these people really want to cooperate with the unscrupulous people in Jizhou and kill my Han Zhongliang, I will not spare it!" ”

"Especially Zhang Aiqing, he has been wronged many times, and I feel guilty in my heart."

Cao Cao is bowing his hands down, and after listening to Liu Xie's words at this moment, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't understand his emotions for a while, how could he be so excited?

Compared with supporting Zhongliang, His Majesty seems to be more energetic when mentioning Zhang Han.

Then you might as well just say that others can't harm Zhang Han.

"Your Majesty," Cao Cao said calmly.

……

On the second day, when he went to the court, someone mentioned the disaster relief in Hanoi.

When it was first mentioned, two imperial historians jumped out and wanted to scold Zhang Han for "not strict family style", greedy for ink, selfish, and selfish, so he had such a family property.

Then from this topic, it was led all the way to Cao Cao to criticize the internal precepts.

Pull down a little bit of Cao Cao's reputation, because the current Cao Cao is too "perfect" in the political arena, benevolent, good at war, unparalleled in strategy, meritocracy, and the supreme virtue......

These qualities that should not have appeared in this hero have become more and more, which made those who evaluated Cao Cao in the early days all look away.

Therefore, except for the eunuch background of his grandparents, there is nothing to criticize Cao Cao now.

Hey, he's also the brightest moon in the Changle Palace! How scary it is.

is because of these imperial histories, with the instruction of the minister behind them, they all want to win back some fame and ask for merit from the scholar class.

As soon as these people spoke, Liu Xie listened carefully, and the rest of the people above the hall were even more silent.

When the imperial historians saw this scene, they became more and more energetic.

"Zhang Bochang, it's really a disaster for the country! In June of the first year of Jian'an, it was found that Zhang Bochang transferred 50,000 gold out of the city and set it up privately in the villa outside the city. ”

"In the spring of the second year of Jian'an, Shaoqing of Dali Temple left Xu Du to go to Yangzhou to fight, leaving six merchant horse teams in the territory, going back and forth to Runan, Yingyin, Huainan and Guangling, making a windfall."

"This is the winter disaster of the homeless, so I want to become famous with my family resources!"

"This plan is far-reaching, but it is also unpredictable!"

The history of Caoyun's service sent by Si Caoyun made a lot of nonsense, turning over a lot of old accounts, and they were all recorded.

There are a total of 45 servants in the Imperial History Mansion, among which Cao Yun, Xiuyi, and Zhishu are very close to Zhang Han, and Cao Yun can supervise Zhang Han's merchant trade places.

Xiuyi is in charge of criminal supervision, and the administration of books is directly connected to the Son of Heaven, which is closely related to His Majesty, and many of Zhang Han's deeds can be directly reached to the Son of Heaven.

Moreover, the supervision side gave a fair report, so among the three major imperial histories, only Cao Yun and Zhang Han had a bad relationship.

After all, Zhang Han didn't give him the money he earned, and he always acted upright, saying that he didn't care about it.

Only inspected the officials who privately opened business roads and sought personal gains, so he stared at Zhang Han a lot, and when he said it at this time, it caused a heated discussion in the palace.

Many people also jumped out, and they were quiet for an unknown amount of time, and after Yu Shi said generously, Liu Xie was furious and stood up directly: "Nonsense!" ”

"Nonsense! Zhang Shaoqing came to Dali Temple since he was appointed, how many cases have been handled, and how many public security have been sorted out! ”

"Within Xu Du, Yifu Yin, Siqing, Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangshutai, and Yushitai all showed their loyalty and integrity, could it be that the entire Xu Capital is deceiving me!?"

"Your Majesty, that is the Manchu Dynasty ministers are all afraid of the power of the prime minister, and they are just flattering! Chen Jichang, the minister, is not afraid of its prestige, and speaks up righteously! ”

"Ha," Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, moved his position comfortably for a while, and looked at this interesting story in the court with great interest, looking very calm and unflustered.

The expression of the imperial history, at a glance, is righteous and awe-inspiring, and in this palace, it is straightforward in front of the civil and military, and there is a great trend of leaving a name in history!

What a heroic and upright!

It's a pity that Liu Xie took a few slips from the case in front of him, threw them in front of him, and said: "Zhang Shaoqing's family assets and businessmen in the family make profits, I already know that he can earn money, not by using power for personal gain, but by contributing to my Han court world!" ”

"Take a good look at it and read it aloud! This is a request from various states and counties! It is even written that there are elders in the territory offering wine! There is a petition from all the people! ”

"Aren't you ashamed?"

"Shaoqing is worried about governing the people, and he scatters all his income only to save the victims, but he is a person who brings disaster to the country in his mouth? ! Don't you know about his exploits? ”

"I, I ......"

Chen Jichang knelt on the ground, holding the sheet he had picked up on the ground, and his whole face was not good after reading it.

Suffered, suffered......

He still has this merit here, which is the merit of prospering the rich county......

"Your Majesty, it's the ministers who don't notice it......"

"Don't notice?" Liu Xie was condescending, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Send this person to Dali Temple for interrogation, and the school office will raid his mansion to see if he has fornicated with foreign enemies!" ”

"Those who have just said in court to punish the young secretary will be investigated and dealt with according to this way!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spares your life!!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are all righteous and loyal, and they are by no means malicious slander!"

At this moment, more than a dozen officials knelt down in an instant, and Liu Xie was dumbfounded, and he still couldn't believe it after being stunned.

There are, so many......

It was noisy, and everyone was indignant, so they didn't hear it clearly, and before that, they were analyzing Zhang Han's family assets with the performance sent by Jizhou.

At that time, there were even more people, and it can be said that one sentence scared all the ghosts in their hearts to kneel on the ground.

Cao Cao pointed to the person in the middle, "I remember, this Guangluxun's squire also said it, right?" ”

"Also, that Captain Xu."

"Those who are above the martial arts, and whose official status is not in my prime minister's mansion, I am afraid they all have the intention of offending Bochang."

Although Cao Cao said it with a smile, a sense of majesty and coldness spread above the main hall, and these officials all trembled and begged Cao Cao for mercy.

Liu Bei, who was in the crowd, glanced left and right a few times, and his mood was quite complicated.

He was originally responsible for disaster relief in Yuzhou, but his reputation and efficacy were far inferior to Zhang Han, and even the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing followed him to Hanoi.

Zhang Han's popularity should not be underestimated.

However, when I heard that Zhang Han had been greedy for ink for several years, accumulated countless family assets, and used all of them for disaster relief, I balanced my heart a little, after all, I would never do anything greedy for ink.

But now, he is deeply frustrated, he is not greedy for ink, and it is entirely his ability and merit to be able to save so much family assets.

The increase in the production of minced meat by ten times is also a great achievement that has benefited a hundred years in the prosperous era, because the people can follow suit and spread it to the villages, and it will only be more widespread in the future.

At this moment, I feel that such a person is still being criticized and slandered in the main hall.

The court may not be as beautiful as I imagined.

Liu Bei, who was young and in his prime, thought that opening peace for all generations was to offer advice and advice in the court and benefit the world.

After many years of searching for teachers and friends, and having no way to ask, he also saw the most dangerous time of the Han family, and even experienced the time of Dong Thief's troubles.

Liu Bei thought that the troubled times were coming, and it would be difficult for the Han to be corrected, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to help him again and save the precarious Han back.

And now, the only remaining hope is about to be dashed, and the court is still fighting for the party and government.

"This is not the court I want."

Liu Bei sighed gloomily, at this moment, many people were arrested and escorted to Dali Temple, but the court discussion in the main hall has not dispersed, and Liu Xie ordered no one to leave the Changle Palace.

Brother Mengde, haven't you been disappointed in them?

Liu Bei quietly looked at Cao Cao, with a little loss and incomprehension in his eyes, and some inexplicable irritability.

And Cao Cao was still sitting on a high position at the moment, and when the last person was pulled out of the hall by Yu Linwei, he turned his head and said to Liu Xielang: "Your Majesty, if Dali Temple finds out a lot of evidence of fornication with Jizhou and rebellion with Yuan Shao." ”

"I hope that Your Majesty will deal with it lightly."

"Why!?" Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao strangely, in fact, not only him, but most of the Han officials, including Liu Bei, looked at Cao Cao with a surprised gaze.

Cao Cao smacked his lips and said with a smile: "The prestige of the Yuan family is known all over the world, and among the famous families, only he, the Yuan family, has made friends with powerful and famous people, cultivated party henchmen, and his protégés and former officials are all over the counties of the world." ”

"As for the Yang family with the same name, he is not good at making friends, and his own clan is high, so he does not have the posture of a prince and a lord, and he can assist the country as a minister."

"In this way, in the face of the Yuan family, even Weichen will not dare to win, but he will not be in the same league with him."

"The grandfather of Weichen's family is the first emperor Da Changqiu, who has served for many years through three generations, and even four generations of emperors, who are kind and righteous, and dare not forget," Cao Cao's chest straightened, but he sighed lightly: "Why do you know that it is difficult to fight, but you still have to fight?" ”

"Just because, the Han and the thief are not separated, and the royal industry is not partial."

These words, to put it mildly, were heavily buckled in everyone's hearts, and many people seemed to have been hit in the face.

Liu Bei was even more stunned on the spot, and his nose was sour, a good sentence...... The thieves do not stand together, and the royal industry is not partial!

He stared blankly at Cao Cao's shadow, at his location, and at the soft, sincere, fearless and fearless style of a great man when he spoke to Emperor Han.

In fact, his eyes are full of ambition...... Zhuang Cao Gong......

In the Changle Palace, it gradually quieted down, Liu Xie didn't want to disturb, only looked at Cao Cao's smiling side face, and felt extremely kind and peaceful.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Therefore, the minister is still unable to protect himself, not to mention the minister of the Manchu Dynasty, it is normal for people to exchange letters." ”

"Helping Yuan to damage Cao is also just to benefit, but Bo Chang has always repaid grievances with virtue, so that he can have such a well-connected and heart-to-heart friendship, even if he is here, he doesn't want to see the corpses of the court all over the field, and more importantly——"

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Liu Xie when he said this, grinning and revealing a bright and friendly smile, "He doesn't want His Majesty to become a monarch with blood-stained hands, and he should focus on virtue and generosity." ”

Liu Xie's body was shocked and nodded silently.

There was a long silence in the hall, but many people turned their eyes to Cao Cao from time to time, and their eyes were different.

Some people are grateful, some are worshipping.

Xun Yu was in the forefront, but the accident was mixed with suspicion, and he couldn't tell Cao Cao's mind now......

This is the true way of governing the world, and it is truly the words and conduct of the unparalleled name.

Exhorting the emperor to be merciful, showing deep loyalty to understatement, putting oneself behind, first the public and then himself, the Ming Gong is really like a bright light in the long night.

In this troubled world, it is fortunate to have a prime minister in the party.

For several hours, until sunset in the afternoon, the school affairs came to report one after another, and there were so many exhibits and evidence that more than three boxes were piled up.

Among them, there are mainly letters from Jizhou, as well as golden dogs, golden horses and other property symbolizing gifts.

Under the evidence one by one, it can be proved that he is indeed guilty of collusion, regardless of the reason and original intention, in terms of crime, he can be hanged to rob his home.

But Cao Cao and Liu Xie talked and laughed all afternoon, and did not take these things seriously, and finally ordered all of them to be burned, and the property obtained was filled into the treasury, which was worth more than ten thousand gold.

In contrast, Zhang Han's family wealth earned with his merits and talents is actually not too shocking.

After all, he still really gives advice to the people, and he does it himself, he is worth it.

Day 2.

Liu Xie ordered the release of the arrested officials and their transfers, and only confiscated the property obtained from the fornication with Jizhou, fined salaries, money, etc., and burned the letters, and the rest were not pursued.

But at the same time, news came that the Cao Yun servant Yushi had committed suicide in prison out of fear and fear.

The other two became seriously ill in prison and could no longer continue to perform official duties, so they had to abdicate and resign and return to their hometowns to retire.

And when these people left, naturally no one pursued them, and Xu Du was still quiet.

The school administration and Dali Temple have mastered many correspondence between officials and Yuan Shao.

Those that burned are only partial.

What Liu Xie didn't know was that after this day, there may be no more people in the court who can stand up and say the so-called contrary advice.

The higher the position, the more they will protect themselves, of course, they would rather be silent than speak in the main hall, they can see more places that others can't see.

For example, what if you say it and make it clear? Wouldn't it be better if the window paper was pierced?

is as famous as Mrs. Yang, and now he is not at home at leisure, but he is called studying.

Prime Minister's Office.

Cao Cao lay by the fire, leaning on the soft pillow of the bed, wearing a black coat, reaching out to the fire and roasting, watching the flames continue to accumulate.

Stretching out his hand to roast it repeatedly, listening to Guo Jiayu's recent news.

These are all from the school affairs of the school, and some have even explored the deep boudoir.

In the end, Cao Cao asked: "Most of these have been mastered, is there any news of Bochang?" ”

He ...... Uh," Guo Jia was stunned by surprise, "There isn't much news, just a little dirty reaction......"

"Huh?" Cao Cao sat up suddenly, his face full of disgust, "What reaction?" ”

"He ran away...... Guo Jia also looked helpless, feeling like he had a bad stomach, "Now the disaster relief in Hanoi has been entrusted to Cao Hong, and Bo Chang is said to have absconded with the crowd, claiming that he was going home to accompany his family for the New Year, but in fact, he did not return to Xudu at all." ”

Cao Cao: "......"
