Chapter 729: The Beginning of Chaos(2/2)
Xun Yu immediately agreed, and later issued an order to encourage students to study, which was considered an official statement!
Cao Peng, however, did not write a letter to express his gratitude.
In his spare time, he played chess with Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang at home, cooked tea, entertained the children, and played around with his wife and children.
Or he would lead his guards on a hunting trip around Chang'an.
Time passes like this day by day.
In the blink of an eye, Cao Peng has passed his thirties...
At the beginning of the second year of Xinglong, Cao Cao issued an edict to remove Deng Ji from the post of governor of the state. At the same time, he changed the imperial officer to the minister of Dali Temple, worshiped Deng Ji as the minister of Dali Temple, and recalled him to Chang'an. This decree immediately aroused countless protests. Deng Ji
He is a disabled person. He used to be an official outside the country, but if he wants to return to the capital and become the central minister, and he is one of the nine ministers of Dali Temple, he has attracted many people to oppose him.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the appointment of officials requires not only ability and virtue, but also appearance.
You let a disabled person serve as one of the nine ministers... Not to mention, the minister of Dali Temple who was reset by Cao Cao has more power than the original minister. Many people are eyeing the position of minister of Dali Temple. Now you
But he handed over this position to Deng Ji? If this spread, wouldn't he be laughed at to death?
If it were anyone else, I really couldn’t bear it!
But who is Cao Cao?
I would rather betray others than others betray me...
An extremely self-centered and extremely tough person.
Why did he ever care about other people's thoughts? In fact, ever since he welcomed the Han Emperor and served as the emperor to command the princes, there have been constant controversies. But every time, wasn't he suppressed with extremely tough methods?
This time, it's no exception!
"I only hire people based on their talents.
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one other than an uncle or grandson is qualified to serve as minister of Dali Temple. I have made up my mind, so I won’t say more."
"Wen Ruo, how can your Majesty be like this?"
After retreating from the court, many people surrounded Prime Minister Xun Yu.
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict, so don't say more.
If you are dissatisfied, you can discuss it with your Majesty. This matter is decided by your Majesty and cannot be changed by me... However, although my uncle and grandson are handicapped, his talents are indeed outstanding. It has been fifteen years since the second year of Jian'an.
In the past five years, Shusun has made outstanding achievements, and only a handful of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty can compare with him.
He is an upright man and is most suitable for the Minister of Dali Temple."
Many people then remembered that when Deng Ji first entered Xudu, he had a good relationship with Xun Yu and Guo Jia.
If you want Xun Yu to stop Deng Ji, how is that possible?
No one could help but Xun Yu, including Dong Zhao, Liu Ye and others, as well as Cao Hong, Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan... no one was willing to come forward to stop it.
Deng Ji was Cao Peng's brother-in-law.
Although Cao Peng was dismissed from office, please don't forget that his vast network of contacts was unparalleled in the entire dynasty.
Even Xun Yu and Cao Peng had interests in each other.
As long as Cao Peng is here, there is no way to stop the fact that Deng Ji is returning to the capital...
However, who can suppress Cao Peng?
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the mansion of Xinwuhou was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
In a few days, Deng Ji's family will be back... This also means that Cao Peng's family will finally be reunited after fifteen years of twists and turns. Even if Cao Peng is now under house arrest, this fact will not change. Cao Peng
Everyone in the house is full of joy. Not only to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but also to celebrate a happy event. Over there, Ma Yunlu and Zhao Yun finally have the fruit of their love. Their eldest son, Zhao Tong, is one month old!
Cao Peng naturally wanted to celebrate it and hold a banquet in his mansion.
However, while the banquet was in full swing, I suddenly heard a report from a retainer: "Zhongchang's servant, Yue Ban, is asking for an audience outside the house."
Cao Peng was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly went out to greet him with his father Cao Ji.
"Xin Wuhou, don't say anything more. Please follow the Za family into the palace."
Cao Peng was surprised...
He returned to Chang'an for more than half a year. This was the first time that he received an imperial edict and asked him to enter the palace to see him.
"Servant Yue Chang, what happened?"
Yue Ban seemed a little anxious and whispered: "Xin Wuhou, please don't ask... By the way, can you still keep the items that His Majesty asked the Za family to give to Xin Wuhou?"
Cao Peng reacted immediately, "But what about the secret edict?"
"Exactly!"
"Of course it's well preserved."
"Please bring the secret edict with you, Marquis Xinwu, and follow me into the palace."
Cao Peng stopped asking questions and hurriedly ran into the house, took the secret edict with him, and headed to the palace with Yue Ban under the worried eyes of the family.
As soon as he entered the palace, Cao Peng immediately realized that something was wrong.
The city of Chang'an is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there is constant laughter and laughter...
However, inside the palace city, it is indeed heavily guarded and deserted. There is a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. But when you see the imperial army patrolling the palace city, each one has a solemn look on his face. The entire palace is filled with a sense of nervousness.
Breath. When Cao Peng followed Yue Ban to Zichen Pavilion, he saw Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You and Xiahou Dun Xiahou Yuan waiting outside the palace. Cao Hong stood with his helmet pierced through his armor, holding a spear, and
There was a faint murderous aura. When seeing Cao Peng, no one showed any surprise.
Yue Ban hurriedly came outside the palace and said softly: "Your Majesty, the new Marquis Wu is here!"
There was silence in the main hall.
After a while, someone was heard preaching: "Your Majesty has a decree to be sent to Xin Wuhou, Prime Minister Xun, Duke Cheng... and others."
Cao Peng ranked first, but he knew the importance and fell at the end.
"Brother Fengxiao, what happened?"
He and Guo Jia walked side by side and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Guo Jia lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty suddenly fell into a coma during the day and just woke up.
Ah Fu, when you go in later, be careful what you say.
I'm worried that Your Majesty, he..."
Guo Jia didn't say any more.
However, Cao Peng's eyes widened with a look of horror!
