Chapter 1301: Li Mi's anger
It has to be said that in terms of revitalizing the family atmosphere and filling the whole family with fireworks, Cao Yang is much higher than his brother Cao Zhang, and is not above the same level at all. Just looking at the old couple who were amused by Cao Yang and comforted him, Li Mi had to admit this.
As happy as Cao Xin, in the past, it only happened if several grandchildren were present.
It is not unreasonable that my father-in-law always favors Cao Han.
The older a person is, the more he likes children like Cao Hung who are sweet-mouthed and talk hard.
In the past, Cao Ming was a playboy, who did everything he could eat, drink, bet and gambling. Cao Zhang was a nerd. Seeing that he had no hope for these two people, Cao Xin placed all his hopes on his two nephews Wang Mingren and Wang Mingyi. Unfortunately, Wang Mingren died young. What surprised Cao Xin was that his least optimistic eldest son Cao Zhang grew up step by step after meeting Li Ze. Later, he was favored by Li Mi, which made the reputation of the Cao family lose two for a while.
This incident made Cao Xin quite enlightened that there may be no real waste in this world. Whether it can be used depends on whether the position is appropriate. If it is appropriate, it will shine and heat. A stone may even shine. If it is not suitable, a precious jade will also turn into a stubborn stone.
Inspired by this, he no longer let Cao Han leave all the business in his family. Instead, he threw all the business in his family to him. He hoped to put some burden on his son so that he could know his responsibilities and obligations, and thus become another cornerstone of the Cao family.
Two sons, one climbed up under the political arena, and the other was good at dancing in the shopping mall. This is the standard configuration of the big families in this era? Support each other and help each other. And unlike many other families, Cao Zhang and Cao Qing are a mother comrades-in-law? They are much closer to each other.
Speaking of which, Cao Xin's changes still comforted Cao Xin.
Or maybe Cao Zhang's current brilliance really stimulated him. Even his brother, who has always been dull and nerdy, can become a sensational figure. Cao Han doesn't think he can't do it. Of course? It's too late for him to enter politics, and even if he goes in now, he can only be shrouded in the shadow of his brother forever? If he was allowed to start from a small grassroots official, Cao Han couldn't stand it. Now the old man has completely handed over his family business to him? He really rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do a big deal.
The two sons are now a weapon? Cao Xin is naturally satisfied.
Of course? The youngest son still has to be beaten frequently. Once he doesn't beat him, he will easily get away. However, compared to his younger son's little willfulness, Cao Xin is actually more worried about the boss. Cao Zhang's temperament is too stubborn, and the frequent ideas will make Cao Xin sweat and restrict the power of the emperor. Is it that Cao Zhang started? It scared Cao Xin at that time.
With his political experience, this is a serious crime of raiding a family and extermination. Fortunately, I don’t know what Li Ze thought? He actually accepted it one by one, and the structures that Cao Zhang had created have become reality one by one.
Cao Xin didn't know? People in the world didn't know. Li Ze himself was the one who really made all this and was silently manipulating behind the scenes. But no matter what, after this incident, Cao Zhang won an unparalleled reputation in the world. Now Cao Zhang's reputation has vaguely surpassed Zhang Hui in the entire Tang Dynasty.
This reputation is a good thing and a bad thing. Cao Xin knew this son. He dared to divide the emperor's power now. Maybe when he would sit in the opposite direction of all the officials.
But now Cao Zhang is no longer able to discipline him. Fortunately, there is another Li Mi who can remind him from time to time. It is precisely because of this that Cao Xin, who always thinks that husbands are the leader of his wife, knows that the grape racks in his eldest son often fall, he ignores them.
Li Mi is a typical sect of the emperor. Generally speaking, when Cao Zhang was in charge, he made sense of fists and feet. The eldest son often had a blue nose and a swollen face. Li Mi's masterpiece was his masterpiece.
Cao Xin was very pleased with this. Cao Zhang needed a heavy hammer like Li Mi to hit the stone.
Overall, the Cao family is now full of flowers and smooth sailing.
After dinner, Cao Zhang got up and said goodbye with the two old men for a while.
Li Mi followed the trend and looked at Cao Qing and said, "Second brother, I don't know if you are tired or not. If you are not sleepy, I still have some things I want to tell you."
"Sister-in-law wants to ask your old subordinates of the Right Qianniu Guard?" Cao Qing didn't care and looked relaxed.
Li Mi smiled and said, "Go to the East Courtyard, your parents-in-law are exhausted."
"My sister-in-law has given me instructions, even if I am tired, I have to hold on." Cao Hing said to Cao Xin with a smile: "Father and mother, then you can rest sooner. I will come to pay my respects to the two elders again tomorrow."
"Are you leaving tomorrow? Why not stay at home for a few more days?" Wang said with concern.
"I have to leave tomorrow. When the Chinese New Year is over, I will definitely come back early and spend more time with the two elders!" Cao Hing smiled all over his face.
As Li Mi and Cao Zhang arrived at the East Cross Courtyard and entered the small hall where guests were entertaining, the smile on Li Mi's face disappeared completely. Cao Yang, who was originally relaxed, looked at Li Mi's face and felt a little nervous.
He knew the best of his eyes and beauty. He only looked at Li Mi and knew that something must have happened to the sister-in-law.
Thinking about it, I have always been respectful to Li Mi!
The elder brother can mess with him because he only talks about reason, and a gentleman does not act.
But my sister-in-law couldn't mess with her because she was just flirting with each other with her fists and feet.
This is the lesson he learned after the sister-in-law married into the Cao family. The key is that after she was beaten by her sister-in-law, no one dared to stand up for him. Even if she cried to her mother, Wang, it would not work.
Of course there are many reasons, it’s better for you, sister-in-law!
My sister-in-law is so tough!
Who made you not do your job properly?
As soon as he found out that Li Mi was preparing to make trouble, Cao Hung's feet couldn't help but feel a little weak. He thought that he was overjoyed today. Why did he follow this tigress to her territory? What's wrong? There is not even a person to report the news.
"Sister-in-law, right Qianniu Guard..." Cao Hing said with a smile.
"Shut up!" Li Mi walked to the living room door and closed the door with a loud bang, causing Cao Feng's eyelids to jump around. Even the dull Cao Zhang realized that something was wrong and looked at Li Mi in surprise.
"What did the second brother do wrong again?" he asked Li Mi.
"My husband, you may not know that our good second brother is still the biggest slave trader in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Mi said with gritted teeth.
"What?" Cao Zhang was dumbfounded. "Slave dealer?"
"Our good second brother, in recent years, has the most profitable business, which is sold slaves. The slaves sold into my Tang Dynasty by him account for almost half of the total." Li Mi said gritting his teeth. "Second brother, do you dare to do such a dirty business?"
Looking at Li Mi and Cao Zhang, Cao Han licked his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, there is no difference between dirty and clean business, only profitable or not. Besides, our Tang Dynasty only has the law that does not allow the Tang people to be slaves, but there is no law that prohibits the servitude of these foreign slaves. This is a profitable business. A foreign woman with a good appearance can sell a high price of hundreds or even thousands of yuan in our Tang Dynasty, and it only costs a few yuan to get them in. In recent years, the wars on Europa have been rampant, and both sides have plundered the other party's people and sold them to make up enough military expenses. The price is extremely low. If I don't do such a business, he will still do other things."
"Then do you know that your Majesty hates this business?" Li Mi said coldly.
Cao Hung was shocked.
"Today, Your Majesty summoned me, Wu Jin and Gao Xiang ascended to the palace, and this is what we are talking about. The court is about to issue a law to ban the slave trade. You are in a hurry to go to Haixing tomorrow to complete this slave trade, right? Let me tell you that before the formal law is issued, all slave traders will be arrested and jailed in the name of rebellion. Are you going to stay in Haixing prison?" Li Mi said.
Cao Hung's eyes widened, his mouth was so open that he could stuff a goose egg into it.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't come forward directly with these things." He stuttered.
"Who do you think you can hide it?" Li Mi turned around and walked into the inner room, took out the thick stack of files that Gao Xiangsheng gave her, pulled out a part of it, and threw it hard on Cao Qing's face: "I'll let you see what the power of the country is. When did you set out, where did you settle down, and talk to those people. The quantity and amount of each transaction were investigated clearly, clearly."
Cao Qing picked up some files on the ground in a hurry, and after reading only a few pages, he cursed: "Gao Xiangsheng, this guy, I'm not finished with you."
Li Mi stared at him coldly.
"In Gao Xiangsheng's eyes, what are you?"
Cao Hung swallowed and said with some difficulty: "Sister-in-law, since Your Majesty doesn't like it, I just don't do it. Didn't Gao Xiangsheng give you these things? This is what I meant to not pursue. I will go to Haixing immediately and after I finish dealing with this matter, I will never get involved in these matters again."
Li Mi sneered: "You think lightly. Gao Xiangsheng gave me and your elder brother face and gave me these things, but do you think His Majesty would not have them? He gave me these things to put me to a close end. If you want to understand this matter, where is the decision on His Majesty."
"Sister-in-law, isn't you there?" Cao Hing said with a smile: "Your Majesty will definitely give you face, right?"
