Chapter 180: The Emperor's Mind(1/2)

(The chapter title is nothing more than modified by yourself. The order is wrong. It will be corrected in a few days)

The morning bell rang nine times, and the weather gradually became colder, making the morning of Bianjing full of fog.

Cao Hua entered the palace and came to the imperial study room and waited quietly.

"The Jin Dynasty was late for the Liao Dynasty's envoy's resignation, and ordered all the troops to cross the Yangtze River to station..."

Dimensions came from the imperial study room, and several court officials were discussing what happened recently with Zhao Jie.

Emperor Zhao Jie occasionally commented a few times, and most of the time he spent listening to the narratives of the court officials.

Eunuchs often come in and summon court officials to discuss and inquire. When they find him standing at the door, they all pretend that they don’t see him.

After waiting outside the study room for an hour, several important officials in the court came out of the imperial study room and left the palace without squinting.

"Cao Hua, come in."

"promise!"

Cao Hua walked into the magnificent imperial study room and bowed in front of the imperial case.

Zhao Jie sat behind the desk and used a brush to outline a picture of flowers and birds that had drawn most of the flowers and birds, focusing on it. Obviously, he looked like this when he just listened to the court officials discussing political affairs.

The room was silent, with a scent of incense swaying, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.

After a long time, Zhao Jie put down his brush, appreciated the scroll with satisfaction, and sat down on the chair:

"Cao Hua, I heard from the Queen Mother that you had a conflict with Luoer?"

"Xie Shengzhang cares and makes the princess feel so angry. It's nothing. She's already relieved last night."

Zhao Jie's expression was as gentle as ever: "Everyone has a love for beauty. You are the best among people. It is not surprising that you have three or two pink confidants... However, just after getting married, Luo'er has been young since childhood. What should I do, I still have to coax it."

"Cao Hua is remembered in my heart."

Zhao Jie was silent for a moment, picked up the flower and bird pictures and looked at them, and asked softly: "I heard that the girl's surname is Chen, and she is the daughter of the censor Chen Qingqiu?"

The words were soft, and it seemed that they were just curious to ask questions.

Cao Hua's heart sank, his head lowered and his eyes narrowed slightly: "That's right, after Chen Qingqiu's affairs, Miss Chen came to cause trouble for me, and he met him over and over again, but in the end... he made the emperor laugh at him..."

Zhao Jie nodded, without saying much, but just reminded: "I just got married, so let go of this concubine, otherwise I will not be able to explain to King Kang."

The tone is as concerned as ever.

Cao Hua smiled and nodded seriously: "No."

"Okay, leave the palace and accompany Luo'er..."

After Cao Hua stepped down, Zhao Jie sat on the chair and put down the picture of flowers and birds.

After thinking about it, I flipped through the desk and took out a piece of paper that read:

Once the hardships come, the stars around you fell.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the life experience is floating and the rain is blowing.

I was afraid of the beach and sighed in the ocean.

Who has never died in life since ancient times? Leave a loyal heart to shine in history.

Zhao Jie looked at it carefully for a long time and still felt that the aftertaste was endless...

After Cao Hua left the imperial study room, he met Xue Jiuquan who was rushing over. The two of them walked slowly under the wall of the vermilion palace.

Xue Jiu was wearing a big red robe and walking slowly with a whisk in his hand. When he saw that there was no one in front and behind, he said in a deep voice:

"Huazi, did you save Chen Qingqiu?"

Diankuis was formed by Xue Jiuquan, and no one knew better about the operation method than him. The story of the final writing was reported from Diankuis dungeon, either because of the small unfaithfulness of the Black Feather Guard, or the instructions of the deputy envoy of Diankuis.

Compared with the unfaithful Black Feather Guard, Xue Jiuquan believes in the latter more because people who are not loyal enough cannot enter the Black Feather Guard he created.

Xue Jiuquan had guessed a few points long ago, but he didn't know the purpose of Cao Hua doing this, so he didn't care.

Now I understand the purpose, it is just because of a woman.

Cao Hua held a long sword in his hand and his eyes were calm: "Yes, I can only do it in the world."

Xue Jiuquan nodded and hesitated a little: "The beauty is so troubled... I told you not to be nostalgic for beauty, but now the emperor is suspicious of you."

The reason why Cao Hua was trusted by the emperor was because he had no desires and no desires since childhood, and he was not greedy for "power, fame, money and sex". He took it as the emperor gave it to him, and he would not ask for it if the emperor didn't give it to him.

It’s nothing to like Chen Jingliu, even if you like Emperor Li Shishi, you don’t care, just a woman.

However, just because you like Chen Jingliu, you cannot use the power of Dian Kuisi to do your own business.

Diankuis is the guard of the emperor, the emperor's, not Cao Hua's, which is a taboo. After all, if you can abuse your power for a woman today, will you like something better tomorrow?

Cao Hua knew this truth and sighed: "No one is perfect, how can he really have no desires or desires?"

"That's the reason."

Xue Jiuquan thought about it secretly for a long time, shook his head and said, "When I see the Lord growing up, my suspicion will increase even if I don't leave the Lord for a half month. It's impossible for you to stay by your side...Dian Kuisi can't be in charge anymore. Your martial arts skills are too high and you're almost unstoppable. It's a luxury to be a free prince consort... This situation is not easy to break."

Cao Hua turned his head and said, "What does the emperor suspect that I am? Will he kill him?"

Xue Jiuquan, with gray hair, laughed twice, spread his hands, and showed the whole picture of the big red python robe on his body: "You and I are powerful, but we cannot have selfishness, or greed. In the eyes of the emperor, a mad dog who climbs up by any means is easier to control than a person with his own ideas."

"I'm afraid that I can't control it in the future?"

"You and I are both the emperor's family dogs."

Xue Jiuquan sighed, lived a lifelong life and had a lifelong relationship with people's hearts. Looking at the surrounding high walls and tiles, it took a long time to say: "It's not too late to make up for the sheep... You have to show your loyalty to the emperor, otherwise the road will be over."

"If it were the adoptive father, how should he express his loyalty?"

"The easiest way is to kill Chen Jingliu, and then kneel outside the palace gate to apologize. When the emperor thinks that you are sincere, he may still use you, but it is difficult to treat him as his own as before."

Cao Hua thought for a moment and said calmly: "Impossible."

"Oh?" Xue Jiuquan looked at him sideways: "Do you have any other ways?"

"A few days ago, the princess gave me an idea." Cao Hua responded and quickly walked out of the palace gate.

Xue Jiuquan looked at the unfamiliar back and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he just sighed softly:

"It's old, it's useless..."

------

After coming out of the palace, Han'er was waiting quietly outside the carriage, with a slightly anxious face.

Seeing that his face was not very good, he followed him onto the carriage: "Young Master, is it Miss Chen's business..."

Chen Jingliu often came to Wu'an Hou Mansion, and Han'er naturally knew that the young master had feelings for Chen Jingliu. When the incident reached the emperor's ears, it was easy to think that Chen Qingqiu was released by the young master. This kind of deliberate behavior of covering up and hiding the emperor was nothing to do with ordinary officials, but when it was placed on the young master, it touched the emperor's scales.

Cao Hua leaned against the soft couch and tapped his fingers on the handrail: "The Lord is suspicious of me."

Han'er's face was solemn: "Or, I'll find someone to send Miss Chen away, and then find a body to burn it..."

Cao Hua shook his head: "If you do this, the two old servants of the Jingliu family will be able to hide their hearing. How did the news spread to the palace?"

After all, Hu Lan is just a maid in the mansion, and it is not easy to spread news to the palace.

Han'er took Hu Lan to the Diankuis dungeon last night. After several twists and turns, even King Kang squatted in the thatched cottage and hummed something. At this time, he nodded slightly: "Hu Lan sent a maid to Prince Yun's mansion, spreading rumors that the young master had a conflict with the princess outside and wanted to kill the servant who was talking nonsense. Zhao Kai knew Hu Lan and was worried about the safety of the princess, so he passed on a message to the palace, and the matter had just arrived at the empress dowager..."

Cao Hua nodded: "I found an opportunity to clean up Zhao Kai and said he had recognized the wrong person."

Han'er was shocked all over and his eyes were full of incredible. Prince Yun Zhao Kai was the eldest brother-in-law of the young master, and he was a real prince.

"Young Master, Prince Yun is deeply loved by the emperor. Isn't that great?"

"Just follow orders." Cao Huaman didn't care.

Han'er nodded and didn't say much.

The carriage swayed, walking on the West Street, passing by the residences of various royal families along the way.

Cao Hua looked at the various things outside the car window, pondered for a long time, and asked, "The court officials may have some movement recently, which is related to the emperor."

Han'er thought carefully: "Well... Zhu Jie from Jiangnan sent a batch of Zhenwan to Beijing. One of the sets of porcelain was not registered and was directly given to the minister Lin Mu...

Liang Shicheng and the right prime minister Wang Fu were neighbors. A few days ago, the emperor was a guest at Wang Fu's house. Seeing that Liang Shicheng had a close relationship with the right prime minister, he seemed to be displeased..."

All of them are big or small, some are those who embezzle their salary and should be treasured, some are those who forcibly buy people's houses and land, and even those who occupy their wives and concubines.

Compared with the status of these officials, it is not a big deal.

Basically, there are kings, princes, generals and ministers standing behind each official, or people who are powerful in the court and the opposition. Dian Kuisi knows it but cannot control it. Even if he gets in charge of the trouble, he will only scold him a few words, and Dian Kuisi will inevitably offend others.

Cao Hua listened quietly and gradually returned to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion...

-----

Outside the Marquis's Mansion.

The gold sign of "Wu'an Hou" shines brightly in the eyes of autumn.

Zhao Tianluo, wearing a palace skirt, stood outside the mansion door, put his hands on his waist and looked forward to it, and waited since he went out in the morning until now.

Yutang hesitated, but ran out and whispered: "Madam, you're fine, you go back and rest for a while."
To be continued...
