Chapter 350 Rumors Spread
Baojing one summer.

The capital city is hot like a big steamer. The yellow dog at the street corner hides under the shade of the tree with its tongue out, watching the ground outside the shade of the tree burnt to smoke by the sun.

With such a hot climate, Beihai in the capital is naturally full of people.People from the capital who could afford it went to the south to escape the summer heat, while people from the capital who had no conditions had to come to the North Sea to escape the summer heat.

A large number of people are rowing and swimming in the North Sea, and the green trees on the North Sea are also full of people.

Everyone happily drank iced sugar water while bragging.

In a group of people, two people chatted.

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"It is said that the current Holy One is not his own!"

"This... this can't be nonsense!"

"I've heard of the Sun family in Nanshijing Hutong. The old sister of that family was a nanny for the prince."

"It seems that there is such a person."

"She died a few days ago!"

"what!"

"A family of seventeen, including the dog, were all killed!"

"what!"

"There are rumors that it was silenced by the current Holy Master..."

"Ah! You can't talk nonsense! You can't talk nonsense!"

……

This person likes to gossip as soon as he gathers, let alone the emperor's gossip.Although they said 'no nonsense' in their mouths, those who heard the news couldn't help but talk to others.

And it just so happened that in Nanshijing Hutong, there was indeed a family named Sun who was silenced.As for whether this family is the nanny of the current Holy Majesty, it is really not clear.

Some say yes, because the family conditions are good.There are also those who say no, how could it be possible for the emperor's nanny to live there.

Under the divergent opinions, this news spread widely in the capital.

If nothing else happened, this news would probably disappear in the long river of history like other messy rumors.

But, unfortunately, something happened.

A court meeting in July.

Emperor Baojing sat on the dragon chair in a somewhat irritable mood.After being the emperor for almost a year, he also knew that the country's affairs were difficult.Moreover, the hot weather really made him angry. Even if the hall was surrounded by ice cubes, he didn't feel much chill.

He has only been working for less than a year, and he no longer wants to go to work.

The eunuch next to him shouted: "Please play if you have anything to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

Now this court meeting is becoming more and more formalized.As for major matters, they were decided after discussions between the cabinet and the emperor, and it was only a process to go up to the court meeting.

As for small matters, the ministries can solve them by themselves, and all they need to do is to make a report to the cabinet later.

This administrative efficiency has been greatly improved, and the emperor's affairs have become less, but relatively, the emperor's control over the court has been reduced.

Today was supposed to be a peaceful court meeting.

But things didn't go smoothly.

Tang Long, a censor of the Procuratorate, stood up at this moment and said, "I have something to do."

The officials glanced at him, then looked away.Some people are wondering, what does this person want to say when he stands up?In today's increasingly formalized world, everyone knows what to say at each court meeting.But Tang Long stood up to speak today, which was not arranged in the 'script'.

But this is the court meeting after all, all civil and military officials are here, and it is the highest hall of decision-making in name.The eunuch glanced at Emperor Baojing, who nodded impatiently.

Then the eunuch said: "Please play if you have something to do."

Tang Long came out, took a deep breath, and said: "Chen Tang Long, impeach Di Li, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, for uttering wild words, and he is guilty of treason!"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the officials present listened.He raised his head again and glanced at Tang Long. It seemed that he had just met him for the first time.

The impeachment of Di Li, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, is simply daring.Although Di Li, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, is only a servant, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is actually the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Minister of the Ministry of Industry is in poor health and has been unable to work all year round, and Di Li is a little younger, so there may be criticism for his promotion.

So he has been staying in the position of the left servant.Besides, Di Li used to be deeply liked by Emperor Tongjin, he was the vanguard of the reformists, and he also had party members in the court.

Tang Long's sudden impeachment of him now really caught everyone by surprise.

At this time, Tang Long's superior, Zuo Du Yushi of the Procuratorate, stood up and said to Tang Long sternly: "Tang Long, do you know what you are talking about? You have spoken nonsense, and you have not pleaded guilty!"

In the Inspectorate, don't look at Zuo Inspector Yushi as Tang Long's boss, but according to the rules of the inspector, the leader is not consular.In terms of personnel, you lead me, but in terms of things, the inspector censor, deputy inspector censor, Qiandu inspector censor and the lowest supervisory censor are all independent, and they do not belong to each other in matters.

Now that Tang Long really wants to impeach, the Left Inspector Censor really has no choice.

Tang Long did not retreat, but continued to say: "Your Majesty, there have been rumors of disrespect in the capital these days, and as far as I know, the rumors of disrespect were all spread by a small official in the Forbidden Warehouse of the Ministry of Industry. .This little official has very close contact with Lord Di Li, and I'm afraid he's the mastermind behind it!"

As soon as his words came out, the expressions of some officials changed slightly.One official even interjected very impolitely: "Inspector Tang, be careful!"

Emperor Baojing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was at a loss at this time, but after being the crown prince for so many years, he still has some city officials, so he immediately said: "What a disrespectful rumor, please report it to me."

When the other officials heard this, they all lowered their heads with different expressions.

And Tang Long said: "There are rumors in the market that your majesty is not the biological son of the late emperor, but was transformed by a demon. This is a disrespectful rumor!"

Hearing this, Emperor Baojing's expression at that time could be described as changeable.His expression ranged from shock to disbelief, then to anger, and finally to a smile!

"It's really unreasonable! Can the folk rumors be spread like this?" Emperor Baojing was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he managed to remember that he was the emperor, so he had to be dignified.

Tang Long said at this time: "Your Majesty, the people are ignorant and trustworthy, uneducated and rude, and the mouths of the people are better than Fangchuan. You can't stop them, you can only divert them. The people are ignorant and fearless, so you can't blame them. But this rumor spreader , his heart can be punished, his crime is very serious!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Di Li a glare.

At this point, Di Li could only stand up and defend.He bowed to the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation, and I know nothing about it."

Hearing this, Tang Long sneered, and said, "Your Majesty, to impeach an important official of the court, you need to have real evidence. The minister dares to speak like this because you have real evidence. Your Majesty, please be careful!"

When the other people heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, there was all evidence of this crime!This Tang Long's preparation is really deep enough, but who instructed this matter?
After the initial shock, Emperor Baojing suddenly thought of something.He took a deep look at Tang Long, and then said to Left Inspector Yushi: "Quan Aiqing, let you investigate this matter."

When the Left Inspector Censor Quan Yi heard this, he immediately stood up and received the order: "Obey."

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this.This matter was deprived from Tang Long's hands and handed over to Quan Yi, which shows that the emperor is unwilling to delve into it.If he is willing to investigate further, the emperor will hand it over to Tang Long to handle it directly.The censor of each procuratorate has the right to handle cases independently.

Hearing what the emperor said, Di Li didn't say anything.On the other hand, Tang Long's face paled slightly, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, he could only take a step back and return to the crowd.

At this time, Emperor Baojing gave the eunuch a wink, and the eunuch immediately shouted: "Everything is over, retreat!"

After his words fell, Emperor Baojing left very unhappy. After the remaining ministers sent Emperor Baojing off, they all glanced at Tang Long before shaking their heads and leaving.

In this world, there is never a shortage of people who dare to take risks.

Years ago, Cao Bin, the emperor's teacher, was sent to Jiangnan, which was actually a signal.The emperor wants to clean up veterans and cultivate his own power.

But now what the emperor needs is someone who can charge forward for him.

Tang Long is such a person, a speculator.He wanted to be the sword in the hands of the emperor, and handed the hilt to the hands of the emperor.

If the emperor hadn't protected him, he would have been crushed to death by Di Li's faction.Offend an important minister, become a lonely minister, and be a loyal minister.This should be Tang Long's plan!
All officials are not fools, and officials who can get into the court cannot be fools.They understood what Tang Long wanted to do, but they didn't agree with it.The risk is simply too great.

Tang Long stayed alone in the hall for a while, until the guards of the hall invited him away.He walked alone on the small path out of the palace gate, walking very slowly.Now he desperately hopes that a eunuch will say to him: "Master Tang, please stay, Your Majesty wants to see you."

But after walking out of the palace gate, he still didn't hear this sentence.

At this moment, his heart was ashamed, and at this moment, a voice reached his ears.

"Master Tang, my lord would like to invite you to have a chat."

A bullock cart was parked in front of him. There was no sign on the bullock cart, just like an ordinary bullock cart used by a wealthy family.

He couldn't help asking: "Who is your master?"

The man who drove the car smiled and said nothing, "You are desperate now, only my master can give you a way out."

Hearing this, Tang Long thought for a while, then turned around and got on the bullock cart.

........................................................................

The next day, a piece of news in the capital went crazy.

"Tang Long, the censor of the Procuratorate, is dead!"

"Oh, how did you die?"

"Hanged!"

"??! Hanged? This is amazing, why?"

"It is said that it is because..."

Tang Long died, hanged at home.A clean sheet was left.His wife took the letter of innocence and went directly to sue the imperial court.

This kind of thing has not happened in the capital for a long time.Everyone suddenly felt that the capital was not so hot anymore, and they began to gather together to discuss this topic.

Tang Long's death was directly related to the fact that "the current Majesty was not born to the former emperor". He died at home because of the issue of impeachment.

All of a sudden, the gossip souls of the people in the capital were blazing, and the underground intelligence leaders from all walks of life were frantically exchanging their own information, and the rumors became more and more outrageous.

"It is said that because he discovered the real evidence that the emperor was not his own son, he was killed and pretended to hang himself!"

"Oh, it's because you know too much. Why do you know so much about the emperor? Why don't you die!"

"Terrible, the emperor really..."

"I don't want to talk nonsense, you will be hanged later..."

The rumors that had already declined slightly were ignited again because of Tang Long's death.What bad intentions do the common people have? They just want to see the excitement of the royal family and eat melons.

But this kind of thing is easy to be used by interested people.

On the first day of August, the scorching heat persisted, and Di Li was sent to prison!

Left Inspector Censor Quanyi imprisoned Di Li in the prison.This incident exceeded Baiguan's expectations.It seems that His Majesty is really angry!

....................................................................................

In Jinhua Mansion, by a pond, an old man was fishing with his club.There is a young man beside him who is throwing bait into the pond. The bait is poured down in pots. It doesn't look like he is making a nest, but it looks like he is feeding.

Seeing this, another old man next to the old man couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Cao Weng, I'm afraid it's unreasonable for you to fish like this."

The fisherman named Cao Weng said with a smile: "There is nothing I can do. It has been more than a month since I have not caught any fish. If I still can't catch any fish, the ignorant old woman at home will laugh at me again."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's normal for a fisherman to fail to catch a fish. Why talk so much to her. Oops! I got the bait!"

As he spoke, he lifted the fishing rod, and a palm-sized green crucian carp was caught.He grinned from ear to ear, and then continued: "What did you just say? Oh! It's normal if you can't catch fish. Fishing is a skill to cultivate energy, and you can't rush for quick success..."

Old man Cao smiled and listened to his pressure, and his good self-cultivation prevented him from uttering foul language.

At this moment, a young man rushed over and whispered something in Cao Bin's ear.

The smile on Cao Bin's face faded, and he put down his pole and said to the people around him, "Clean up, stop fishing."

As soon as the young man next to him heard this, he threw away the bait in his hand and started to pack his fishing gear.The old man next to him saw it and asked, "Cao Weng is leaving today? Don't try again?"

"I won't try it! I don't have the talent for fishing, so I won't come here again!" Cao Bin waved his hand and said to his fishing friends who had been with him for several months.

Seeing Cao Bin leave with his hands behind his back, the old man shook his head and said, "It's a pity, there will be no more nesters in the future..."

Cao Bin returned to the carriage, and the young man who had just talked to him said: "Master Di has been imprisoned in the sky prison. It seems that Quan Yi is going to make a fake show for real."

Cao Bin wiped his hands with a towel, wiped his face again, took tea and rinsed his mouth slowly, and said: "It shouldn't be, your Majesty, don't want to restrain us old people?"

North Korea and China have always been divided into conservatives and reformers.During the period of Emperor Tongjin, although there were many conservatives, Emperor Tongjin was still partial to the reformers, and often silently supported Di Li's reforms.

This kind of partiality has allowed the reformists to support it.But the power is actually not as good as that of the conservatives.Cao Bin is a hidden revolutionary faction, and Emperor Tongjin knows this identity.

As soon as Emperor Baojing came to power, he transferred his hidden revolutionary faction away.Regardless of whether Emperor Baojing knew his identity or not, it showed that Emperor Baojing didn't like revolutionaries very much.

But even if you don't like it, the balance in the court must be guaranteed.If the courtiers cannot check each other, then the court is not the court of the emperor, but the court of the courtiers.

Emperor Baojing is not a child, he should understand this kind of emperor's art.

But now directly take down Di Li, the leader of the reformist faction, what is the purpose of this?Is it really for the conservatives to dominate the family?

Sitting in the carriage, Cao Bin asked his subordinates, "What's the attitude of Mr. Zhou?"

The subordinate said: "Zhou Yu's attitude is unclear."

Hearing this, Cao Bin stopped talking, but gently patted his thigh.

Back at Chen's house, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife looking at him with a half-smile.Cao Bin coughed lightly and asked, "Madam, what are you doing here if you don't go to have tea?"

Madam smiled and said: "I wanted to go to have tea, but I heard that you are back, so I will come over to see if my fish soup for tonight is available."

Hearing his old wife's ridicule, Cao Bin's old face couldn't help but blush.This fishing has been hanging for several months, and there has been no fish for more than a month.

So he waved his hand and said, "No more fishing, no more fishing in the future!"

When Madam heard this, she immediately said with a smile on her face, "No more fishing? Do you want to accompany me to have tea and watch a play?" She has been looking forward to this day for a long time!
Unexpectedly, Cao Bin waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to go, you can go by yourself. I have something to do." After finishing speaking, he led the young man into the study.

His wife was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad idea in her heart, could it be that the husband is going back to court again?

It's only been a few days of good days, is it necessary to return to the empty compound in the capital again?She is really helpless in her heart, she really regrets asking her husband to look for a prince!
But what can she do, good men have ambitions everywhere, and those who are capable naturally want to fly high.

She sighed, and her desire to drink tea and watch the theater faded away, and she went back to her room directly.

..................................................................

Di Li was sent to prison, and the little official who spread the rumors was also arrested.Emperor Baojing finally panicked, he quickly asked Dali Temple to take over the lawsuit, and threw Quanyi out.

Dali Temple is similar to the Supreme Court, and the Procuratorate is the Supreme Procuratorate.In ancient times, the functions and powers of the two overlapped somewhat, but they were not the same.

This case cannot be investigated in depth. If the investigation continues, the foundation of the country will be shaken.Because the core of this case is 'whether Emperor Baojing was born to the previous emperor'.

How can this kind of thing be investigated? Even if the truth is revealed and it proves that Emperor Baojing was born of the previous emperor, the common people and all the officials will not believe it.

Check yourself, is it interesting?Is it interesting to prove your innocence to yourself?

As long as Emperor Baojing is in power, this kind of proof will never have credibility.If Emperor Baojing is not in power... Hehe, then the rebellion really succeeded.

This kind of framing is completely free of cost. If you succeed, you will make a lot of money, and if you don't succeed, you will also make a lot of money!So it can't really be put on the table for scrutiny. The more scrutiny is, the more guilty it will be.

Emperor Baojing never expected that the left inspector Yushi Quanyi stabbed him in the back.

No way, who told him that he was a novice emperor, and he had only ascended the throne for less than a year.It was the loss of inexperience, but the experienced veteran fell silent strangely.

In the mansion of the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan is resting with his eyes closed.In front of him was Chuan Wang, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Wang Chuan was also frowning at this time, and said to Zhou Yu: "Master Zhou, this matter is really tricky. That bastard Tang Long's method of remonstrance made us very passive."

Zhou Yu said lightly: "He dared to die, which shows that Di Li really has a problem."

Wang Chuan also nodded, and said: "There is a little problem, but it's not a big problem. Who doesn't have a bad thing, this little official just has some entanglements with his housekeeper."

He paused, and said: "I understand what Your Majesty means, to make me make a big deal a small one. But now this is really a godsend opportunity. As long as we are more ruthless, we can definitely kill Di Li."

Dali Temple Qing Wang Chuan is the leader of the conservative faction on the surface.And Zhou Yu is a hidden conservative.Emperor Tongjin also knew about this.

In the cabinet, people with obvious partisan inclinations are not allowed to enter.This is the emperor's power check and balance technique. In the cabinet, at least fairness is a must.

But the hidden partisans are out of the emperor's control.There is no way to control this. People live in the world, and they are officials in the world. Even a fair person will have various tendencies.

As long as it is a human being, it is impossible to level a bowl of water.

When Emperor Tongjin was dying, he did not give a clear account of the affairs of the cabinet, which made Emperor Baojing suffer a loss.But Emperor Tongjin never thought that his son would attack his important ministers not long after he ascended the throne!

The current Emperor Baojing needs Dali Temple Minister to be obedient, but Dali Temple Minister has his own careful thinking.

He wanted to kill Di Li and get rid of his greatest enemy!The cruelty of party struggle is endless.Such a god-given match, if he doesn't grasp it, he is simply not a good official.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan said lightly, "It's hard for His Majesty to explain Di Li to death."

Wang Chuanman said nonchalantly: "There's no need to explain this. Just pour all the dirty water on Di Li. What His Majesty needs is stability and unification, so we will give him stability and unification. Without Di Li's troublesome shit Stick, we will do better and make Daqian even better!"

Although Wang Chuan is corrupt and perverts the law, although he disregards human life, although he does not follow the rules.But he is indeed a better official for doing better.Without such a lofty goal, he would not be able to ascend to the high position of Dali Siqing.

All corruption and breaking the law, all non-rules, and everything are all for this lofty goal.In his opinion, Di Li and his group just want to destroy Dagan, they want to let Dagan perish, they are the biggest and biggest treacherous ministers!

Zhou Yu thought about it carefully and said, "Then what is your plan?"

"I think so. Let Di Li be accused of disrespect, and sentence him to ransack his home and behead him. Then we will strictly rectify the wind and suppress the rumors, and then start to build momentum again and announce His Majesty's life experience to the world. As long as the truth exists, rumors Naturally, it is self-defeating."

He paused, and continued: "So, you need to make it clear in front of His Majesty, so that we can finish this matter."

Zhou Yan sighed, and said: "You are dancing on the tip of the knife. If something happens, your Majesty's reputation will be ruined."

One can imagine what would happen to an emperor without a reputation.

Wang Chuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will make a decisive decision and finish this matter soon."

After talking about the business, Wang Chuan said goodbye and left.Zhou Yu sat in the lobby in a daze.Not long after, a faint ghost appeared beside him.

"My lord, why didn't you stop him?"

"It's not necessary, it's only good for us if we make a big mess."

"My lord, I don't understand..."

"The root of the Three Realms lies in the mortal world. Only when the mortal world is in chaos will the Fujun have a chance. Otherwise, the Fujun will be suppressed for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, the ghost fell silent.In this kind of thing, he, a ghost, can never understand.

On the tenth day of August, Dali Temple Minister announced Di Li's charges in the court hall.

Wang Chuan ordered Di Li to be beheaded by ransacking his home and beheading him on ten counts, including 'not investigating people', 'excessive extravagance', 'transaction of power and money', 'self-willed use' and 'disrespect'.

All of a sudden, the court was furious, and the reformists slammed Wang Chuan, saying that he ignored the facts and made random convictions.Conservatives applauded.

Sitting on the stage, Emperor Baojing was numb.Wang Chuan, who was usually respectful to him, actually did such a thing.

He took a deep look at the officials in the court, and shouted in his heart, 'Where are my loyal ministers? '

Less than a year after taking the throne, he felt deeply powerless at this moment.These people are all masters who have one thing on the outside and another on the back.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of his teacher.So he cheered up, suppressed the voice of the court, and said: "This matter is too serious to draw a conclusion. First imprison Di Li and wait for me to think about it."

Hearing his words, Wang Chuan looked at Zhou Yu with some puzzlement. Didn't Zhou Yu persuade His Majesty?He is not a member of the cabinet and cannot attend cabinet meetings, but Zhou Yu didn't respond to him, he thought the matter had been settled!

Wang Chuan, who was full of depression, knew that if His Majesty did not agree this time, it would be difficult to agree in the future. Di Li's little life was saved.

Until the next court, he still couldn't figure out why His Majesty still objected even though Zhou Yu had agreed to it?Obviously Zhou Yu is the person His Majesty trusts the most, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Cao Bin down.

At this moment, even Wang Chuan, who claimed to have understood the changes in the court, fell into confusion.

On August 22, an imperial edict came to Jinhua Mansion. Cao Bin, the old man who 'inspected' Jiangnan Road, has been called back to the capital!

Cao Bin's old position in the cabinet has not been removed. He is the leader of the grand master to inspect the south of the Yangtze River.Now that you want to use him, you can just recall him directly, and you don't need to go through other procedures.This is the shrewdness of power users, don't block all your paths, keep a line of being a human being, and you can use it in the future.

After receiving the order, Cao Bin packed up his clothes and saluted, ready to leave for the capital.

When leaving the capital, Cao Bin never expected that he would go back so soon.When the flag of "Lingyun Gongcao" was planted on the boat, passers-by could not help but think highly of it.

At the beginning, it went south along the water, although the wind was smooth, but the flag was not ostentatious.

Now head north against the current, although the wind is against the wind, the flag is flying.

All the way to the capital, Cao Bin once again put on the official uniform of a first-rank official, bearing the false title of Grand Master, and walked the royal way into the palace.

In the imperial palace, the cabinet elders sat together.Cao Bin greeted the others with a smile on his face.

"Old Cao Ge has worked hard!"

"Brother Cao has worked hard!"

The other elders bowed their hands to him and greeted him gently.Cao Bin responded one by one, and finally he walked up to Zhou Tiao.

"Master Zhou, long time no see." Cao Bin first bowed his hands to Zhou Shoufu.

Zhou Yu nodded, and also responded, saying: "Cao Ge, you have worked hard."

The two looked at each other and saw peace in each other's eyes.

At this time, the eunuch shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"

Emperor Baojing came in a hurry, without letting the eunuch do anything, he lifted the curtain and strode in.He saw Cao Bin at a glance, and immediately stepped forward two steps, and said to Cao Bin, "Thank you, teacher! The teacher was exhausted all the way."

He doesn't call him Aiqing or his official name, but just calls him Teacher, hoping to use this different name to draw in his relationship with Cao Bin.

Although there was a rupture in the relationship between the two, his current performance was to repair the rupture.This is the same reason why a man catches a woman and calls 'little baby' after the relationship between men and women breaks down.

Cao Bin naturally smiled and said, "It's hard work for His Majesty. Just try your best."

The two smiled at each other, quite a bit of a smile to wipe away their grievances.

After a while of pleasantries, we began to get down to business.

"What does the teacher think about Di Li's matter? Di Li died, and I lost a beloved general." Sure enough, it was the young emperor who showed his attitude very early on.

Of course Cao Bin knew what the emperor meant. He said, "Master Di's case is full of mistakes and omissions. We absolutely cannot draw conclusions like this. I propose a retrial."

As soon as his words came out, Zhou Yan said: "Retrial? Who will be tried? Both Dali Temple and the Procuratorate think he is guilty."

Before Cao Bin could speak, Emperor Baojing said directly: "It's easy to say, the key is the crime of disrespect, which has caused a lot of trouble in the city, which is very bad for me." Emperor Baojing is most concerned about this issue .How to save his reputation.

Cao Bin thought for a while and said directly: "Your Majesty, I think you should also check your life experience!"

Hearing this, Emperor Baojing's face was quite surprised, and his mouth trembled.Could it be that the important minister he brought back was also a traitor?
Cao Bin immediately said: "Your Majesty, please listen to me. The reason why things have turned into this way today is because of the constant crashes, which made things develop like this. What is needed now is to clarify everything in order to convince the people and officials."

When Emperor Baojing heard this, he sneered directly and said, "You still need to say that? But now I send someone out to say it, who can believe what I say?"

He was extremely disappointed. If Cao Bin, whom he had placed high hopes on, had only this level, then he would really be blind.

Unexpectedly, Cao Bin shook his head and said, "Of course we can't say it. It needs a famous person to do it and say it. In the entire court, there is only one person who can do it."

"Who is it?" Emperor Baojing asked a little strangely.

"The former magistrate of Tianmen County, Zhang Wei! He can do it!" Cao Bin said firmly.
