"Your Majesty, since you have already sent someone to send the first holy decree, why do you want to let the father-in-law of the Wu Cicada send the second one? Could it be that Cao Hongde of the Cao family really has such a big face?"

In the regent hall of the Great Chu Palace, Su Wang and Chu Zheng, the two monarchs and ministers, stood opposite each other under the previous person.

After hearing Su Wang's question, Chu Zheng continued to bury his head in the mountains of twists and turns, without even raising his eyelids.

"Teacher, you're pretending to be confused again, I don't believe you don't have a deep meaning here. ”

For this, Su Wang smiled awkwardly, although he did not admit it directly, he did not deny it.

"Hehehe, the emperor, if you really want to say it, the old minister also saw one point, that is, the emperor deliberately wanted to give face to the Cao family, and what was left in the previous dynasty was not only his Cao family, but dozens of them, since the emperor wanted to enable these so-called cultivation and reading families, he naturally had to do a good job in face, and appeased a Cao family with great efforts, that is, he took control of all the families. ”

Chu Zheng happened to finish annotating a piece of music in his hand at this time, and after throwing it on the table, he temporarily put down the pen in his hand.

"Teacher, isn't that enough?"

Su Wang smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, if it is only for the above reason, the position of the head of an academy is enough, but the emperor's will is to give half of the Jinghua Academy to the Cao family, and the old minister feels that it is not worth it no matter how you look at it. ”

Chu Zheng picked up a copy of the recital again and looked at it.

"Teacher, you can think that just now is enough, originally I just wanted to give it to a mountain chief, but because of one person, I changed my mind. ”

Su Wang's face showed a rare expression of surprise.

"Your Majesty, the old minister really can't think of anyone who can change your mind, so it's better for the emperor to say that person's name so that the old minister can see and understand. ”

As if remembering the person in his mouth, Chu Zheng stopped looking at the action and smiled knowingly.

"Cao family, Cao Huabin!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Su Wang's surprised eyes, Chu Zheng spoke to himself again.

"In my meaning, the position of the mountain chief was originally prepared for Cao Huabin of the Cao family, as for the rest, it was given for Cao Hongde's face, if Cao Hongde would be wrong about what I meant, or if he understood but was unwilling to let Cao Huabin enter Beijing, then I naturally had to find a way to get back the things that were rewarded. ”

waited until Chu Zheng finished speaking, and Su Wang had a chance to interject.

"It's... Your Majesty, dare to ask who this Cao Huabin is, the old minister has never heard of it. ”

Chu Zheng picked up the brush again and buried his head in the fold pile.

"Teacher, I can't say this person clearly, the specifics are still waiting for the teacher to see for yourself, anyway, the news I got was Cao Hongde himself, he said that this son's academic cultivation is no longer under him. ”

Su Wang's eyes revealed wonder for the second time today.

"Your Majesty, that Cao Hongde is one of the five great Confucians recognized by my Great Chu Dynasty, and in addition to him, the other four are all drooping old men with white hair, but now listen to the emperor's meaning, then Cao Huabin doesn't say anything young, but at most he is a middle-aged scribe, where can he be qualified to be comparable to those great Confucians?"

Chu Zheng did not answer Su Wang's question, but threw it out.

"Teacher, it's Cao Huabin of the Cao family who said this, and I didn't say it, you have to ask Cao Hongde!"

Su Wang didn't ask any further, but reached out and touched his beard.

"I'll have to take a good look at where this Cao Huabin is sacred!"

......

"I have a little donkey, his name is Cao Huawen, and one day I wanted to ride it to the market on a whim!"

Suddenly a convoy appeared on the wide official road, and this loud singing voice came from one of the carriages in the convoy.

The pedestrians on the road were attracted by this sound, not that the man in the carriage sang beautifully, but that the song that was originally full of innocence contained the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Cao Huabin!"

Behind this carriage, a carriage came out with an angry voice to the extreme, although there was a lot of anger in it, but it was still easy to distinguish that it was the voice of Cao Huawen, the head of the Cao family.

"Stop!"

At the order of the head of the family, all the carriages immediately stopped advancing, and then you could see Cao Huawen, who had an angry face and was no longer gentle, jumped out of the carriage, and then entered the previous carriage.

"Cao Huabin, I asked you to stop singing, you still sing, you sincerely want to get along with me, don't you think that Lao Tzu has a good temper after reading a few books, you really want to force me to be anxious, beware of me beating you!"

On the opposite side of Cao Huawen, a middle-aged man in a green shirt was lying comfortably in a spacious carriage.

"Old Cao, don't say that, who is with whom, you can also sing that you have a little donkey, his name is Cao Huabin! I won't care about you, how old are you, and you're as stingy as a child!"

"Cao Huabin, do you think I'm as childish as you! When I was young, I was ignorant, and if you wanted to sing, I let you sing, but now how old are we? You still sing, if you don't want to be embarrassed, I still want to be embarrassed!"

didn't care about any children or not, singing or not singing or anything like that, Cao Huabin, who was wearing a green shirt, pretended to be mysteriously posted to Cao Huawen's ear and said.

"Do you know why Old Ancestor asked me to be this mountain chief instead of you?"

To be honest, in fact, Cao Huawen himself is a little puzzled, when it comes to knowledge and culture, he feels that he is not much worse than Cao Huabin, the only thing he wants to say is that he loses to Cao Huabin, he is just a little less agile than him, but it will not be because of this that he missed the position of the mountain chief!

"Why?"

Cao Huawen asked suspiciously.

"Because..."

At the critical moment, Cao Huawen leaned his ears forward again.

"Because... Because I can sing! I have a little donkey, his name is Cao Huawen!"

"Cao Huabin!"

Cao Huawen, who was teased by Cao Huabin again, was really angry, but he couldn't really hit this guy!

"It's the age of growing a beard, and I'm still not ashamed at all, the ancestor is really blind to give you the position of the mountain chief, if you go to the capital, you won't lose the face of my Cao family!"

After finishing speaking, he lost the courage to continue the theory with Cao Huabin, it was not groundless for him to lose to Cao Huabin, he had never won Cao Huabin in sophistry since he was a child.

This time, he didn't shout to stop again, but jumped directly, but he obviously overestimated his strength, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he broke his foot, probably because he didn't want to lose face in front of others, so he kept walking back to his car and began to hold his feet and cry out in pain.

...

Wende County, where Cao's family is located, is not far from Bianzhou, so in just one day, Cao Huabin and his party saw the wall of the capital.

As soon as the convoy passed through the city gate, Cao Huabin began to speak again.

"Cao Huawen!"

"What are you going to do?"

Hearing Cao Huabin shouting his name again, Cao Huabin reluctantly poked his head out of the carriage.

Although he was not happy that this guy was shouting at himself again, but this time Cao Huabin finally did not add the prefix of a little donkey to himself, which made Cao Huawen decide to come out and take care of him.

But after he stuck out his head, he found that Cao Huabin didn't call himself at all, and following his eyes, Cao Huawen found that his eyes stayed on the horse pulling the cart!

In just a moment, Cao Huawen knew what this guy who had eaten all day and had nothing to do was going to do, so he wanted to sit back quietly, but at this time, everyone was attracted by his sentence "What are you doing shouting at me".

Cao Huabin turned his head and glanced at him.

"I didn't call you!"

After that, he turned his gaze back to the horse.

"I'm calling it!"

"Puff~"

Hearing Cao Huabin's words, the rest of the entourage laughed all at once, but when they thought that the two in front of them were the eldest and second gentlemen of the Cao family, they quickly stopped their laughter, but they were a little uncomfortable.

Immediately afterwards, the good horse who was pointed out by Cao Huabin as a donkey also barked a few times.

"Boom~Boomer. ”

Hearing the barking of his horse, Cao Huabin was a little embarrassed, he really didn't mean to tease this Cao Huawen this time.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm so big, I haven't gone to Jiangnan to see it! Cao Huawen, let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

Hearing Cao Huabin's words, Cao Huawen almost thought that he had heard it wrong.

"Go to Jiangnan!"

"The ancestor is to let you come to be the mountain chief, not to let you play, besides, if you don't take the mountain chief seal, it is a big crime to bully the king, and our family will be implicated by you!"

At this time, Cao Huawen didn't hold a grudge against the little hatred just now, if Cao Huabin picks a son at this time, then where to find a mountain chief again!

"Cao Huawen, what nonsense are you talking about! Although I am greedy for fun, I will not bring trouble to my family, the emperor's holy decree said that I will go to Beijing to take up my post, and I have already entered the capital now! As for the mountain seal, I will put you somewhere for the time being, and I will look for you again when I come back!"

"You want to play!"

For the first time, Cao Huawen was helpless about this guy who has always been absurd, in the past, you used to tease your family, but now you are still playing sloppy with the emperor, he may not have the patience of those guys at home.

"Cao Huabin, I don't care what you think, it's really okay for you to leave tomorrow, I will never stop you, but today you have to go to the academy with me to pick up the mountain seal. ”

"Okay, okay, it's not as serious as you think, I'll slip away first, and I'll talk about it when I come back!"

"Cao Huabin, Cao Huabin, Cao Huabin, you eat, go to you!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Cao Huawen's hoarse voice behind him, slapped the horse's ass and walked away, forcing the second Mr. Cao Jiaer to scold him in the back.

Seeing that Cao Huabin really didn't mean to turn back, Cao Huawen returned to the carriage, he actually knew why Cao Huabin was leaving, but he was afraid that he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness!

...

At the same time, a large number of people gathered at the gate of Jinghua Academy, in addition to the scholars of the academy, there were also a large number of people, among them, there was Su Xiang of the Great Chu Dynasty mixed in the crowd.

Because the mountain chief of the martial arts academy is the second prince, he arrived early.

However, it is said that today is the day of the arrival of the head of the Faculty of Letters, so many people have come to see the excitement, and in anticipation of everyone, a long carriage came to the gate of the college.

After the first carriage was stable, the eyes of everyone present converged on it, because according to common sense, this was the carriage of the mountain chief.

In the midst of everyone's eager expectation, it was a lame man who stepped out of the car, and this lame man was naturally Cao Huawen who was broken.

"Even this crooked melon and cracked jujube can also be a mountain chief!"

Su Wang's shock fell all over the place, but when he was still in a daze, Cao Huawen spoke.

"I'm your prison! Not your mountain chief, your mountain chief fell to his death on the way here!"

Probably because he was afraid that others would not believe his words, Cao Huawen said again in an accentuated tone.

"Yes!

After finishing speaking, regardless of other people's discussions, he limped into the academy.

......

Vermilion and purple red walls, green bricks and jade tiles, and no cicadas holding dusty dusts quickly interspersed in the palace, and soon came to the regent's palace, Chu Zheng's side.

"Your Majesty, after Cao Huabin of the Cao family entered Beijing today, he went south out of Beijing again, you see ......"

"Well, got it, let him go!"

shouldn't have been too talkative, but Wu Cicada relied on his own weight in the emperor's heart, so he spoke.

"Your Majesty, you can be said to be benevolent and righteous to the Cao family, but is there something ...... their approach?"

Chu Zheng pulled out of the fold pile, and looking at his relaxed appearance, it was estimated that he had finished reviewing.

"You don't understand this, as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve, then in this case, Cao Huabin, a virtuous minister, wants to test whether my monarch is a Ming Jun It is understandable, let him go to Jiangnan for a trip! At most, he will come back by himself in half a year!"
