"Grandpa Cao Jie, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Cao Shuo's little hand was behind his back, as if... there were still endless words in his mouth...

"No...no need to talk about it anymore." For a moment, Cao Jie's words stumbling. "I personally went to Cai Yong, the head of the teaching director of the Imperial Academy..."

Cao Jie's words blurted out, Cao Shu's purpose was achieved... The corner of his mouth raised, revealing a row of white teeth. "Thank you, Grandpa Cao Jie." He is still very polite... very rules.

Cao Shu knew that studying in the Eastern Han Dynasty was a crucial step toward the career of officialdom.

Cao Shu, who has more than 20 years of memory in his previous life and memorizes historical books and has heard countless masters interpret it, does not expect to learn anything in Taixue... The most important thing is Taixue is a platform, a platform that can make him famous all over the world, and a platform that can truly get in touch with the behemoth of the "Empire"!

You know, the honorary chief of Luoyang Imperial Academy is Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty!

...

"Oh..." Cao Song seemed to come back to his senses and hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you, Mr. Cao... Thank you, Mr. Cao, for letting my grandson enter the Imperial College in advance... Thank you very much."

"No..." Cao Jie's eyes turned, but he waved his hand... "I can't enter the Taixue kindergarten."

Cao Song was stunned? Could it be...who is there any concerns? Is Cao Jie afraid of impeachment from the scholars and officials?

It should be noted that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty... the huge part of the joys and sorrows that were staged alternately was the battle between eunuchs and scholars, the so-called "party and corruption disaster"... It has happened countless times in the years since His Majesty ascended the throne today... Although eunuchs have firmly gained the upper hand, many "party members" are staring at their words and deeds? Because Cao Shu entered the Taixue kindergarten and was impeached by the "party members", it seems unwise.

"Mr. Cao, why don't you... wait a few more years?" Cao Song, who figured out this section, quickly changed his words.

"Not this!" Cao Jie smiled slightly and patted Cao Shu on the back with his hand. His eyes turned to Cao Song. "Your grandson is so talented and has read ancient books at a young age. What kindergarten college is going to? Go directly to the Imperial College..."

When Cao Song blurted out these words, he was stunned. He was six years old? Imperial College Primary School?

You should know that Luoyang Taixue is divided into three stages: kindergarten, primary school and university. Primary school needs to be admitted at the age of ten, graduated at the age of fifteen, and graduated at the age of twenty. This is the "ten years of hard work" mentioned by the ancients... However, from the founding of the Han Dynasty to the present... elementary school? There has never been a child under the age of ten who has entered? Could it be... Is Shuer going to be the first to Taixue?

"This..." Cao Song wanted to say something... but he didn't know how to start.

"Brother." Cao Jie narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Shuo with a faint look. "So what about the elementary school department? If your grandson performs outstandingly, I will put pressure directly in the name of Shangshu Ling to allow Cai Yong to approve him to enter the university department. By then, the prodigy will graduate, and our Cao family will be famous all over the world?"

Speaking of this, Cao Jie's voice deliberately lowered a little, and said in detail: "You and I need someone to succeed you and my 'god brothers'... Don't the 'godfather' also want to see our Cao family flourish?"

These words are meaningful...

Logically speaking, Cao Cao, who had graduated from Imperial College, was the most suitable successor of the Cao family. But he was very close to scholars and opposed Cao Jie everywhere... Cao Jie only had six words to evaluate him - he was a sloppy young man, and he couldn't tell clearly.

Fortunately, Cao Shu's appearance ignited another hope of supporting his successors. At least in the present, the six-year-old Cao Shu is more polite and ruling, and perhaps in the future, he will be more familiar with the worldly ways.

"Then...then thanks to Mr. Cao." Cao Song saluted repeatedly. "Shuo'er, hurry up...I'll pay homage to Grandpa Cao Jie."

"Shuo'er thanked Grandpa Cao Jie." Cao Shuo gave another junior salute to his elders. His childish words and gentle tone made Cao Jie like him so much.

...

Luoyang City, the Western Garden connected to the imperial palace.

This is a royal garden with a complete range of amusement facilities. In addition to more than a dozen naked tour halls, Emperor Liu Hong also built a commercial street here... Palace maids and eunuchs dressed up as hawkers and the people, clamoring for sale. Emperor Liu Hong liked to sit in restaurants and settle accounts... That's right, just settle accounts!

This emperor made the emperor a part-time job. His main business was to do business. Speaking of which, it was a shining strange among the emperors of ancient and modern times.

Every shop in the commercial street...he has to collect rent himself. As long as he collects it, he is so happy that he can't help himself... he is even happier than collecting taxes from various states and counties.

"Father, why did the rent last year only be collected 50%? What about the remaining 50%?" Emperor Liu Hong was making plans and whispered, as if he was very upset because the rent was collected less. "You must pay attention to integrity when doing business. These hateful merchants? If you rent my house, don't give me money? You won't have to die?" As he spoke, Emperor Liu Hong seemed a little angry.

Standing beside him, the one who was called Afu was the leader of the ten eunuchs, the eunuch Zhang Rang... Speaking of which, this Zhang Rang was also supported by Cao Jie.

As the playmate of the young emperor Liu Hong, Zhang Rang took care of the emperor meticulously and won the holy heart...

I was even more moved by Liu Hong - Zhang Changshi is my father!

But... this Zhang Changshi... was not satisfied with the status quo and colluded with Zhang Wen, an official of the same clan outside the palace. He always wanted to seize power, destroy Cao Jie, and become the first eunuch!

The first step to suppress Cao Jie is to get rid of the help outside his palace - the Cao family!

"Your Majesty..." The upward tone was a little sharp. Zhang Rang bowed his body and explained repeatedly: "Last year, this Xiyuan was managed by the former queen Song family. The business was not easy. These merchants...pay all their money. It is not easy to pay half of the rent. I hope Your Majesty..."

"No!" Emperor Liu Hong immediately refused Zhang Rang's proposal. "You can discuss anything else, and the word "rental" cannot be missing! If you tell them, I will... I will send them to the border."

The emperor Liu Hong is very good at using the emperor's authority to collect rent... It seems very good!

"But... the merchants all complain!" Zhang Rang deliberately fell into embarrassment... "They all complained about the former queen...."

It turned out that the former queen Song family has always rejected the emperor's inaction and is obsessed with merchants... They have also successively cracked down on this commercial street connecting the palace... Now, Queen Song has been killed for "false" witchcraft charges, and Zhang Rang is trying to use this to attack the Cao family, which is related to Queen Song."

"Has the case of Empress Song settled? I ordered the nine clans to be implicated a few days ago." Emperor Liu Hong frowned. "These merchants are not satisfied? Humph, according to my opinion, I just want to delay paying the rent!"

"Your Majesty...relieve the anger." Seeing that the emperor Liu Hong was a little angry, Zhang Rang quickly handed the tea, his eyes turned and seemed to be quite entangled... Finally, he stammered. "Your Majesty, there is a family involved in the case of Queen Song that was not punished, which made the merchants in the market complain... The officials don't know whether to say it or not..."

"Hmm?" Emperor Liu Hong was slightly stunned. He had already ordered the execution of the nine clans. Is there a fish that missed the net? If this is the case, wouldn't it be a provocation to his authority as the emperor? You know... although he regards the emperor as a part-time job, even if it is a part-time job... the divine empowerment of the imperial power is unquestionable!

"I want to hear which fish is missing?" Liu Hong placed the teacup heavily on the table, and his eyebrows unconsciously stood up.

"Just... it's..." Zhang Rang pretended to be stumbling, as if he had made a great decision. "It's... the former Grand Minister's Agriculture, Cao... the Cao Song family... a few years ago, Cao Song's niece married the brother of the former queen Song's brother! He originally wanted a pearl chain... but... was stopped by Cao Jie Da Changqiu."

"Hmm? Cao family?" Emperor Liu Hong narrowed his eyes, and a touch of solemn and murderous aura emerged one after another!
