Although Cao Jie was lying on the ground and said nothing, his thoughts changed sharply.

Is Your Majesty sincere or false?

If it weren't for this, how could he have cut off Wen'an County, Bohai County, and King Ji first. This is to "splite bricks and jade". He first cut off the King Ji first, and then only granted the title of Marquis of Hefei. If he acts like this, all officials will have nothing to say.

Just as he was about to speak, Cao Jie couldn't help but think again.

Bohai County was originally the Bohai Kingdom. In the first year of Xiping, Your Majesty ordered the governor of Jizhou to arrest King Bohai, Liu Ku, to be imprisoned and investigate the case of rebellion. Liu Ku was unable to bear torture in prison and committed suicide with hatred. His wife and sons died in prison, and the Bohai Kingdom was eliminated. Some more, Princess Song, the concubine of Bohai, was the aunt of the first queen Song. The Zhongchang Shi Wang Fu, fearing that the Queen Song was resentful, so he colluded with the Taizhong doctor Cheng A to falsely accuse the Queen Song of "carrying the left-righteous chastity", and then deposed him. Later, he became a violent family and died of worry. His father and brothers were also executed.

Empress Song died in a violent house. His Majesty once dreamed that the late emperor scolded him and even woke up in shock late at night.

"Mengshu is clear and he is afraid when the emperor is aware of it."

The scene in the dream is vivid. Your Majesty woke up and was very frightened. So he asked Xu Yong, the left supervisor of Yulin, for this matter: "What are the signs of this dream? Is it ominous? If it is ominous, how should it be eliminated?"

Xu Yonghui said: "The mother of the Song Dynasty has been in the world for a long time. She has been educated all over the world and has not been wrong or bad. His Majesty listened to slander, causing the Empress to be innocent and punished, and suffered the crime of innocent people. The family, inside and outside the palace, complained and regretted by the Empress. King Bohai was the brother of the late emperor and his mother. He was in the country and was vassalized, and he never had any evidence. Your Majesty did not prove the case, so he was punished and killed. In the past, the Marquis of Jin dreamed of evil ghosts and put on his hair and put on the ground, but because the Marquis of Jin was innocent and killed the ancestors of evil ghosts. The way of heaven was clearly observed, and the ghosts and gods were not falsely accused (it was difficult to deceive). He should be buried together to make the souls of the wrong. The Queen Song was ordered to exile her relatives and return to her original family and regain the Bohai country to eliminate the blame (in order to eliminate the crime).

Although Your Majesty did not accept his words, he was deeply uneasy. He often woke up from nightmares. He even did not dare to live in the palace for a long time and went to the West Garden more often. Over time, "Bohai County" became the taboo in Your Majesty's heart and did not want to mention it.

Today, not only did he cut off Wen'an County, Bohai County, to King Ji, but he also wanted to confer his younger brother, Marquis of Hefei as King Bohai.

If something goes wrong, there must be hidden information.

Cao Jie was lying on the ground and thought hard about the reasons and dared not speak out.

Liu Ju, the king of Bohai, was the younger brother of the late emperor. Marquis of Hefei, was also the younger brother of Your Majesty.

Both are younger brothers. It is reasonable to put your heart in mind.

etc!

Fortunately, I know that Your Majesty must ask in person that in order to increase the title of three counties to King Ji in the past few days, Cao Jie remembers the counties around Ji State in his heart.

Wen'an and the county was established in the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu (202 BC). "named by Wen'an Tan" belonged to Bohai County. Today, it is still belonged to Bohai. However, in the second year of Yongyuan (90 BC), it was classified as Hejian Kingdom.

Wen'an is no longer in Bohai County!

Is Your Majesty a good idea?

No. Your Majesty is so smart. How can you not ask the reason if you sell goods to three families? And you have already planned to add the title to the three counties of Jiwang. How could you not know that Wen'an has been assigned to the jurisdiction of Hejian Kingdom?

Since that's the case, why pretend to be confused?

The late emperor and Your Majesty both came from Hejian Kingdom. Shortly after the late emperor ascended the throne, he divided Liwu, Gaoyang and several counties in Gaoling County. At that time, Your Majesty also appointed Dongpingshu and granted the title of Marquis of Guiyi, the Hu people. Now Wen'an was separated and assigned to King Ji.

This is the same lineage as the former emperor, and both of them are to weaken the Hejian vassal states!

It was precisely because the two emperors in front and behind all came out of the Hejian Kingdom. The first emperor and Your Majesty continued to weaken the national strength of Hejian. They were afraid that the Hejian's momentum would grow more and a new emperor would be produced.

This is a plan to "get the wrong one by one" and "hide the world and cross the sea".

In name, it was taken from the Bohai Sea, but in fact it did not move the Bohai Sea in the slightest.

Since this is the case, why should we only be granted the title of King Hefei as Bohai?

If you think about Your Majesty's golden words and jade, you will have an additional 2,000 households. Cao Jie understood it. He only named Hefei Marquis as King of Bohai, or the Queen Mother Yongle's intention, but Your Majesty really didn't want to do it. Your Majesty's additional 2,000 households for no reason was to take it on his behalf. In this way, when the Empress Dowager was in front of him, Your Majesty would have an excuse. It was not that I didn't want it, but that the Secretary-General would not give it to him.

Time is endless. Your Majesty is waiting for an answer.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Jie tried to say, "Bohai County... is the former Bohai Kingdom. If you want to be granted a title, you must inherit the Bohai lineage. The Marquis of Hefei is Your Majesty's younger brother, and they are all together. How can you continue the branch?"

His Majesty pondered for a moment and then suddenly realized: "The Shangshu Ling's words are reasonable. The Marquis of Hefei came from Hejian and should not be transferred to the Bohai King's heir."

"That's right." Cao Jie's worries finally landed. This is Your Majesty's true intention.

"In this way, Zong Zheng can allocate 100,000 copper coins to comfort him. The copper coins are not needed by the inner palace, so they will be paid by the western residence." His Majesty was rarely generous.

"Old slave, obey the order."

I respectfully sent Your Majesty back to the West Garden. Cao Jie then stood up late. He turned around and left the hall, stood on the high platform, looking at the sunny mountains and the west. With a long sigh, he was old.

The twelve people including Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Su Song, Duan Gui, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Ju, Ning Dian, etc. were all named marquises and were extremely favored. People at that time called the "Ten Constant Services".

Emperor Ling also said: "Zhang Changshi is my husband, and Zhao Changshi is my mother."

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are the heads of the ten eunuchs.

Zhang Rang had been coveting the title of Shangshu Ling for a long time. He just wanted it because he was not dead.

Why not learn from Cheng Huang, abdicate and give up the wise, and live up to the old age?

No. Cao Jie insisted on using this thought to kill him. If he retreated today, he would have a good ending in the future. Even if he died of old age, he would not be able to give in to the position of Shangshu Ling.

Looking back at the high platform of Mingguang Hall, Cao Jie stood up straight and walked down steadily. He walked out of Hongde Gate and climbed the Imperial Cart to return home.

The older generation of eunuchs, whose talents were withered, were all over the place. Now Zhang Rang and other eunuchs are extremely powerful. They are widely spread inside and outside the palace. One is rising and the other is declining. If you want to sit firmly on the Shangshu Platform, you need to find help. Who else can make an alliance besides the ten eunuchs?

The Huangmen Order Zuo Feng, the Central Constable Lu Qiang, was also the Yongle Grandpa Feng, the Changle Grandpa Duan Gui, or the Yeting Order Bi Lan...

Zuo Feng was young and had a good relationship with King Ji. He was lower than Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. Lu Qiang lived in Xiyuan for a long time and protected the beautiful Wang and the second prince. He did not have a relationship with Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong could win over both of them.

Yongle's Taifu Feng Xi lived and went out to serve Your Majesty on weekdays. He never colluded with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. It seems that he could have a close relationship with him and help him.

However, Duan Gui, the Grand Duan Gui of Changle, was ranked among the ten regular servants. Although there were old friends, they needed to separate the relationship.

Especially a few days ago, the Yeting Order Bi Lan came to the door in the daytime. Speaking of many secret secrets such as "The Toad Palace Wins the Guest House", "Customized Nude Girl", "Reden People in the Garden", etc., the words were vague. It seemed that there was something difficult to describe. Could it be that the actions were not secret, and even the matter was revealed in the east window...

This matter can be big or small, and you must be careful.

"Come." Before Anche entered the mansion, Cao Jie suddenly spoke.

"exist."

"Turn to the harvesting goods, Jinshui City."

"Here." The carriage then left the inner road, entered the imperial road, and headed straight for the east gate.

This time, I went to the small market to meet with Jia Xu, the right leader of the shogunate.

Zuo Feng, Lu Qiang, and Feng Xi all had a close relationship with King Ji. Just secretly make friends with King Ji, which can ensure that you have no danger in your life. As for what you have after death, Cao Jie doesn't need to worry about it.
