meet again

The king of Han was suddenly sent to guard the imperial tomb, and all the courtiers were stunned when they heard this.

The news was blocked in the palace, and very few people knew what happened in Luomei Palace.Beauty Yu died quietly in the palace, and the Cao family didn't even dare to fart.Naturally, it did not reach the ears of the courtiers.

So, here comes the problem.

How could His Royal Highness the King of Han, who had always been favored, be severely punished so suddenly?

Among the officials of the six ministries, the officials of the Ministry of Households are most concerned about this matter.

The king of Han has been in charge of the household department for several years, although the king of Han has mediocre talents, he still claims to be very high.However, for officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, having such an immediate superior is much better than officials of the Ministry of Punishment.Before His Royal Highness King Yan was crowned prince, he worked diligently in the official office of the Ministry of Punishment every day.Everyone in the Ministry of Punishments trembled and did not dare to be lazy at all.

Life in the household department is much better.It is unavoidable that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.The king of Han had a small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day, and the officials of the household department often went to the banquet to drink—of course, the female family members of the family must not be brought to the banquet of His Highness the King of Han.The reasons for this are well understood.

Occasionally, some people who don't mind the color of their hats take the initiative to bring their wives and family members to the door...and they will get promoted and get rich soon.

If you want to live a decent life, you should occasionally wear some green on your head!

Why was such a favored and honored king of Han suddenly rejected and severely punished by the emperor?

"You said, why was His Highness the King of Han sent to the imperial mausoleum?"

"We don't dare to speculate about Tianjia's affairs."

"We talk about gossip in private, and we will never spread it outside. If you dare not say it, let me guess one first. His Highness the King of Han must have made a big mistake and made the emperor furious."

"Well, that's what I guessed too."

So, what could be wrong?

When a man chews his tongue, he is actually no different from a gossip woman.The serious officials on the surface winked when they talked about the King of Han in private.

Everyone guessed a lot in their hearts, but no one was willing to pierce this layer of window paper.They looked at each other inexplicably.

Anyway, there is a shrewd prince in the court, and His Highness the grandson who is smart and studious.The Eastern Palace faction is as stable as Mount Tai.The lack of a flamboyant Hanwang in the court will have no influence on the court affairs.

The courtiers who were originally attached to His Highness the King of Han quickly fell silent.

The ones who are really anxious to get angry are the Cao family and Han Wangfei's natal family.

Most of the Cao family served as officials outside, and the head of the Cao family who stayed in the capital was Cao Tuo, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Cao.Cao Tuo is the elder brother of the first mother of Cao Zhen, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and also the first cousin of the present son.This year, I am sixty-five, and my body is fairly healthy.

Empress Dowager Cao is already old, so it doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman.Cao Tuo would go to the palace to pay his respects to his aunt every one or two months.

As soon as something happened to the King of Han, Cao Tuo couldn't hold back, and immediately handed over the post to enter the palace.It's a pity, the news from the Compassion Ning Palace is that the Empress Dowager is unwell and no one has seen her.

It was rare for Cao Tuo to be shut down, his heart sank, and he sighed to his old wife: "The king of Han really made a big mistake. The queen mother refuses to see me."

The Cao family has always supported the King of Han in his struggle for the crown prince.Even though Emperor Long'an appointed King Yan as the crown prince, the Cao family did not change, and remained a solid Hanwang party.It can be said that the Cao family supported the Hanwang faction.

All sacrifices are for generous returns.

The King of Han was suddenly fined to guard the imperial tomb, and the Cao family was stunned.

Now Empress Dowager Cao has even disappeared from Cao Tuo's face, which shows that the matter is really serious.

Mrs. Cao, with gray hair and wrinkled face, frowned worriedly, and said in a low voice: "What should I do? Otherwise, I will go to Ganquan Palace by myself to visit the imperial concubine."

Cao Tuo's face was serious, and he said in a low voice: "There is news from the palace that the imperial concubine's body is unwell and she has to close the palace for rest. All the palace affairs of the harem are handed over to the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace."

The Empress Dowager Cao is the towering giant tree supporting the Cao family.Concubine Cao is still far behind!
Mrs. Cao heard cold sweat on her forehead: "The imperial concubine is also implicated. What did the King of Han do?"

Cao Tuo's eyes were dim, and he sighed after a long time: "I'm afraid it has something to do with Beauty Yu."

Mrs. Cao looked at her husband in amazement: "My lord is talking about King Han and Yumei..."

"Shut up!" Cao Tuo's expression became more and more serious: "It's about the emperor's face and the royal family's dignity. Is it okay to talk nonsense about such things?"

It's good to know what's in your heart, and don't say it out loud.

Mrs. Cao gasped again and again, her face was ashen.

Cao Tuo's face didn't look any better.After supporting the King of Han for more than ten years, the King of Han has come to such a dismal situation, and the Cao family's painstaking efforts and years of hard work have also come to nothing.

Of course, the prince's city mansion treated Cao's family politely.This is when Empress Dowager Cao is still alive and Emperor Long'an is still in power.Empress Dowager Cao is over 80 years old, how many years can she live?Emperor Long'an's dragon body has declined, and he hasn't been to court for half a month.How long can it last?

Once the crown prince ascends the throne, I'm afraid it's time to liquidate the Cao family.

Despite the hot weather, Cao Tuo's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Cao Tuo paced back and forth, and quickly said, "I'm going to the study now to write a letter to my second brother."

The second brother Cao Tuo mentioned was Cao Zhen.The Cao family has more than a thousand members, and there are more than [-] people who are officials in various places.Cao Zhen is the second-rank Jiangnan governor, the highest official position, and Cao Tuo's direct brother.The two often exchanged letters on weekdays.

Mrs. Cao nodded, and couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "Second brother is the governor of Jiangnan. He can't leave Jiangnan without the emperor's call. Even if you write to him, he won't be able to return to the capital."

"Then you have to tell him about it." Cao Tuo frowned, "Let him be mentally prepared."

Cao Tuo entered the study, took up a pen and wrote a letter, which was sent out of the capital immediately.

All the way to the south of the Yangtze River, and four days later, this letter will be in Cao Zhen's hands.

……

In the turmoil and vortex, the most chaotic one is Hanwang Mansion.

Before that, the King of Han disappeared for three days in a row.Princess Han was a little anxious, but not too worried.The king of Han liked beauty, beauty and wine, and often held banquets, and he did many ridiculous things in private.There are times when I hang out with beautiful women for days and nights.

Unexpectedly, not only did the King of Han fail to return to his residence, but he was also sent to guard the imperial tomb.

When the news spread to Han Wangfu, Han Wangfei fainted on the spot.After being awakened by the imperial doctor's acupuncture, he lay on the bed for three days.When he had the strength to stay at the bed, he immediately entered the palace wiping away his tears.

The Empress Dowager Cao said that she was sick and no one was seen, and Concubine Cao closed the palace to recuperate.

Princess Han cried and complained that she had nowhere to go, so she had to go to the East Palace.

"Second Sister-in-law," Han Wangfei cried sadly with red eyes: "What did Your Highness do wrong? Why was he suddenly sent to guard the imperial tomb? Before leaving, he didn't even send a message back to the Han Palace."

The Crown Princess is notoriously outspoken.Today, he also looked embarrassed: "Fourth brother and sister, I do know about this, but I can't tell you. You should go back!"
