"Uncle, we can't sit still and wait for death. This knife is put on our necks. If we don't resist, we will become ghosts under the knife!"

Han Qi said loudly.

Cao Qi frowned. Han Qi was calm before, so why is he so radical now?

When he thought about it, Cao Qi's heart moved when he thought of the more than 40 middle-level officials who were imprisoned, removed from his post, and the recent rumors. Is that true?

Cao Qi smiled and said, "It's not that we will abandon the car to protect the coach. Look, hasn't it been quiet now? If His Majesty really wanted Han Xiang to leave his post, he would have talked to you long ago."

Han Qi took a deep breath.

In fact, he didn't quite understand what Zhao Xu was thinking. This time the situation was quite big, and even Zhang Fangping and Su Song were involved. It was impossible to kill those middle-level officials just to kill them.

The threat to middle-level officials lies in the future, not the present. Although this future is not far away, it is the future after all, isn’t it?

If Zhao Xu and the others had the patience, they would have waited, and they would not be able to live long. Why not wait any longer? Why do they have to cause such a thing at this time?

Could it be that it is really just Ouyang Bian’s self-protection?

Han Qi also became suspicious of his judgment.

However, Han Qi is an old politician after all, and he will not be so careless. In the political arena, any slight underestimation of the enemy is irresponsible to him.

Now Ouyang Bian has shown an offensive trend. He cannot defend himself passively, and he must take the initiative to attack!

Han Qi sneered: "Uncle Guo, it doesn't matter. Although more than 30 young talents have lost it, the rising talents of the Han family and Cui family are like crucian carp trees. After ten years, the court is filled with young talents from two families, Cao family, haha."

Cao Qi's brows trembled - Once the Cao family's old Taihu Lake passes by, the Cao family's situation will be very dangerous.

Han Qi is right. It doesn’t take ten years for the Han family, and young talents will fill the court again, because the Han family and the Cui family are both scholars, and the Cao family is a military general. Because they offended Ouyang Bian, the confrontation between the land of Zhangzhang at that time damaged a group of children, allowing other generals to take the opportunity to invade most of the territory, which greatly damaged their vitality.

It is actually not that simple for the Cao family to rise again. Now they can rely on the power of Empress Dowager Cao to barely support it. Once Empress Dowager Cao turns to life, the Cao family will soon become the target of many beasts.

So, it is indeed my own who is anxious.

Thinking of this, Cao Qi said sincerely: "Han Xiang misunderstood, the Cao family naturally wants to join forces to join forces. The Han family, Cui family, and Cao family are all comrades in the same camp, so they naturally advance and retreat together. Whatever Han Xiang says is what, the Cao family hopes that Han Xiang will follow the leader!"

Han Qi secretly said that this would be over soon, and it was pretentious!

Han Qi whispered to Cao Qi, and Cao Qi looked shocked...

...

Chongzheng Hall.

Zhao Xu buried his head in the memorial, and a burst of footsteps came in a hurry. He didn't have to look up and knew it was Huang Huaiyi.

Sure enough, Huang Huaiyi's voice sounded: "The official family, the uncle is asking for a meeting."

Zhao Xu raised his head, his face with an unknown smile: "Hurry and please."

Huang Huaiyi quickly turned around, Zhao Xu patted his face, lowered his smile, and replaced it with a serious expression.

As footsteps came, Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown.

The footsteps were scattered and rapid, not like the elegant and calm uncle I remembered.

Cao Qi appeared at the door. In the cold weather, Cao Qi was covered in sweat and a slight mist was leaking out from his hat. Zhao Xu was shocked.

"What is the national uncle doing!"

Zhao Xu exclaimed.

Cao Qi knelt down with a pounce: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report!"

Zhao Xu quickly said, "Uncle Guolao quickly get up and stand up and talk."

Cao Qi quickly stood up and without waiting for Zhao Xu to ask more questions, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there is a royal family conspiring to rebel!"

Zhao Xu was frightened and trembled: "This is a serious statement!"

Cao Qi shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from someone who has joined my family. Please read it!"

Huang Huaiyi quickly received the secret letter and handed it to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu opened it and watched, and Cao Qi quietly observed Zhao Xu's expression.

Zhao Xu's expression changed like a face change, from shock to calm, gritting his teeth and then showing a look of secret joy, which made Cao Qi secretly startled.

When Cao Qi was shocked, he heard Zhao Xu say: "What the uncle reported was very timely. If this matter is taken seriously, the uncle will make contributions to the country, and I will know this."

Cao Qi hesitated and said, "That Majesty..."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I will deal with this matter. My uncle will go back and have a good rest."

Cao Qi didn't dare to say much, so he had to retreat.

Zhao Xu picked up the secret letter and looked at it for a while, with a smile on his face: "Big companion, come to Jian Zhoufu, Kaifeng Prefecture."

...

Ouyang Bian was handling official documents in the signing room, and suddenly there were dense footsteps. Ouyang Bian couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although the regulations were busy and the officials were all busy, most of them were tiptoed and did not dare to disturb you, let alone here.

He looked up at the door and saw several yamen runners wearing public uniforms. There was a green robe in front and a robe in his chest. It seemed that he was an official from Kaifeng Prefecture.

The green-robed official looked cold and solemn, and his eyebrows were curled up. He looked like a cold and harsh person.

An official walked in quickly and said, "Assists in politics, those who are the officials from Kaifeng Prefecture, said they have something to come to participate in politics."

"oh?"

Ouyang Bian raised his eyebrows.

"When will Kaifeng Prefecture's tolerance be able to enter the Registration Department?"

When the green robe official heard this, his eyebrows raised: "Are you Ouyang Bian?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "The following is wrong. Where do you get the confidence from the sixth rank?"

The green robe official stared at Ouyang Bian and said, "Ouyang Bian, you have committed a crime!"

Ouyang Bian raised his hands forward, waved his sleeves, and stood upright with his hands behind his back: "Who is coming?"

The official of the green robe said: "Kaifeng Prefecture's official Jian Zhoufu was ordered to investigate the case of Li Feng's rebellion. Someone confessed that Ouyang's participation in politics was involved. He came to ask for political participation to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to reply."

Ouyang Bian was secretly surprised. The case of rebellion is big or small!

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "I am busy with affairs, so let me talk if I have something to do."

Promoter Jian Zhoufu said: "This case involves a confidentiality, and there are many people here, so it is not advisable to ask questions."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "I am the Minister of Rites, the Hanlin Scholar, and the Assistant to Political Affairs. Even if the case is involved, I must have conclusive evidence before I can go to Kaifeng Prefecture for interrogation. Does anyone refer to the corrective officer, or does there be evidence to prove that the officer is involved?"
