1.57 Reward and Punishment Undecided
As the Princess said, "the reward and punishment are not yet determined."
The court first released the news. After balancing the demands of all parties, it was put into writing and announced to the world. This has always been the case with great rewards.
Among them, if someone is dissatisfied with the reward, he can take the opportunity to move and seek high rewards. Those who are uneasy, have made achievements and have made mistakes, or are in a deep state of no achievements and no mistakes, can hurry to make friends with all kinds of gods and immortals in order to find a good ending.
The six kings of Jizhou are the "someone in the game" who have suffered greatly.
The Yellow Turbans were powerful, and the six countries fell. The defense of their territory was not good, and even their homes were occupied and their ancestral tombs were destroyed. It is hard to say that the rulers of the six countries were indecisive. However, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos and the six countries suffered a lot, and they were also the suffering masters. Moreover, the rulers of the six countries only collected rents and taxes and had no power to govern the country. Even if they had the will to kill the thief, they could not do anything.
I thought that all of them were relatives of the Han Dynasty and had a common spirit, and Your Majesty should be sympathetic. But you must be careful. If someone slanders in person, it will lead Your Majesty to be unhappy. At the least, it will be cut off the county, and at the worst, it will be eliminated. Wait until the dust settles, it will be too late to regret it.
Six hundred miles in expedited, and sent to Dazhen Pass. When discussing with the plotters, Liu Bei then wrote a letter to Luoyang and ordered the right chief Jia Xu to take care of the situation. Jia Xu had already asked the Huangmen Order Zuo Feng, and advised the miserable ruler of the six countries to make no money. A country is enough.
The six countries were 60 million yuan. The Huangmen Order Zuo Feng, Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang and other ten regular attendants, made suggestions for the six countries. The six countries were not guilty, but also exempted taxes for three years. The six countries were then relieved. The emperors of the six countries were given an order. They went to the Ji Palace to bid farewell, and took their families to the country.
The six kings of Jizhou are like this. It is conceivable how the people who quell the rebellion and run up and down to find a good ending. The Shangshu Ling, people came and went in front of Cao Jie's mansion. There were traffic and guests.
All the government orders of this court were from the Shangshutai. Cao Jie held great power, so it was naturally right to ask him.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion involves a lot. Apart from the local officials who suppress the rebellion and the war disasters, they are also deeply trapped. "Make merits in defending the territory" or "unfavorable supervision of the war", but between the thought of the Shangshu Ling Cao Jie, the difference between the four characters, the ending of the officials involved is a world of difference. How dare you be slow? This will give all your strength and disperse all your family's wealth. You only want the Shangshu Ling to "show mercy in your pen". You only need to be able to keep your official position, and the gold, jade, jewelry and jewels spent today will be earned back in the future. If the official position is not guaranteed, everything will be over. In the mild case, you will be imprisoned alone, and in the worst case, you will be confiscated and exterminate the family.
Just imagine. The Yellow Turban Rebellion affected eighth of the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty. It also involved many officials from Guandong, including all sizes and big ones.
In front of Cao Jie's mansion, he was blocked by cars and horses for many days. This shows how it is.
The news reached the palace. How could the ten regular attendants such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong not be jealous?
Shangshu Ling is really a big fat man.
However, if the old man does not die for a day, he will not let the power fall in love with others in one day.
If you are old but not dead, you will not be able to get what you want. Whenever you think of this, the ten regular attendants sighed. Kill Cao Jie? The ten people did not have the courage to do so.
A few days later, Mrs. Cheng returned.
"How?" asked his adoptive father Cheng Huang when he entered the secret room.
"As A father said," Mrs. Cheng whispered.
Cheng Huang's brows stretched out: "Empress Dowager, I won't deceive me."
"Father..." Mrs. Cheng thought about it for a while, but still couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"
Cheng Huang grinned and said, "I'm just saying it for my father, do you dare to listen to it?"
Mrs. Cheng nodded gently: "What my father said is reasonable."
He then asked again: "Why does this matter affect my Cheng family's ten years of wealth and glory."
"The eldest son of the emperor was born to Empress He. Empress He was born from a humble birth, and Your Majesty did not like it. The beautiful Wang was born innocent and was favored. Therefore, Your Majesty seemed to have the intention of abolishing the eldest son and establishing the young." Cheng Huang said: "If Empress Dowager Dou protects the son of the Wang Meiren to inherit the throne, then he will be in a stalemate with Empress Dowager Dong Yongle. Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He will fight for power, and he will be incompatible. So Empress Dowager Dou became the key point..."
My father said halfway. Mrs. Cheng was still confused.
Empress Dowager Dou could have been out of the matter, why did she fall into the whirlpool of the founding crown? Besides, Empress Dowager Dou has no power or power, and the Dou family’s relatives have been killed. Now there are only lonely people left, with no help from inside and outside. If you make a grudge with Empress He, a cup of poison can make Empress Dowager Dou go away.
Empress Dowager Dou is so unwise.
Why did my father insist on forming an alliance with Empress Dowager Dou, who had no power, no power, no desires and no desires?
Thinking of this, a sudden enlightenment appeared: "Can't it be... the person and matter that my father asked me to investigate is... a strong support!"
Cheng Huang nodded gently: "My son is indeed smart."
Then he thought about it, it was wrong: "The dispute between the inner palace is a taboo of the ministers. Besides, how, how..." Mrs. Cheng felt that this matter was incredible. It was incredible and there was no way to figure it out. However, it involved a great palace crisis. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a bloody and storm. I was afraid that if I were not careful, I would lose all the whole game. At this point, I couldn't help but look frightened.
"I can rest assured as my son is showing timidity." Cheng Huang was very pleased: "My son is a dead man, and he often does not avoid life and death, nor does he know how to be afraid. He may not end up doing this well. Now that he knows that 'three parts of timidity in encountering things', the affairs behind my father can be entrusted to my son."
"Father, what should I do?" Mrs. Cheng asked gritted her teeth.
"Don't be impatient." Cheng Huang smiled and comforted: "Let's talk about it when my father has seen Cao Jie."
"My father is going to join forces with Cao Jie?" Mrs. Cheng was stunned again.
“Yes.”
West Garden, West Palace.
After receiving a letter from the Huangmen Order Zuo Feng. Lu Qiang, the Zhongchang Shi, who was dedicated to serving Wang Meiren and the second prince, left the palace to meet Cao Jie and sealed him.
Luoyang City, Jinshui Soup Restaurant.
The third floor monastery.
He changed the bathrobe and introduced it by the waiter. When he saw Cao Jie, Feng Zi had arrived first. Lu Qiang then bowed first: "I have met Shangshu Ling, Yongle's servant."
"I have met Mr. Lu." The two of them also stood up and returned the greeting.
The Huangmen Ling Zuo Feng, who matched the three of them, did not appear.
"I received a message from Shao Ling, but I didn't dare to delay it. But I didn't know why Shangshu Ling wanted to see me?" Lu Qiang had always been clear-headed, and he was not on the same path as Cao Jie.
"There is no big deal." Cao Jie smiled and replied: "Today I ask Lu Changshi and Feng Changshi to reminisce about the past. Secondly, there is one thing, I ask you two."
"What's the matter?" Feng Zi asked.
"Now, a man from the court wrote a memorial involving Wang Meiren's brother (Wang) Bin." As he said that, Cao Jie took Jian Shu out of his sleeve and handed it over to the two of them for their own eyes.
After reading it, Feng Xi turned it over to Lu Qiang.
After Lu Qiang finished reading, Cao Jie asked, "I wonder what Lu Changshi thinks?"
Lu Qiang remained silent: "What position should Shangshu Ling be granted?"
"You can be appointed as the Marquis of Duting for the Jinwu." Cao Jie offered a very high price.
Lu Qiang nodded slightly: "In this way, Lu thanked Shangshu Ling for the beauty."
Seeing that Lu Qiang did not postpone, Cao Jie was overjoyed: "Everyone is sharing your worries, why bother thanking me?"
Feng Xi observed his words and expressions and said happily: "The beautiful man Wang often misses his lonely brother. Now he can join the court and fulfill his long-cherished wish of the beautiful man. I believe that your Majesty is also very pleased."
Even if he is as loyal as Lu Qiang, he cannot resist Cao Jie's kindness.
This is also a win-win situation.
The three of them drank a few drinks, and Lu Qiang said goodbye and returned first. He drank several drinks with Feng Xi, and Cao Jie returned.
When the car entered the mansion, a confidant came to report: Lord Cheng came to visit late at night.
