son-in-law

Chapter 958 Discrimination
Changqiu Palace, Feixiang Palace

Cao Yuzan lay lazily on the couch, the obese black cat lay quietly in front of the Queen Mother, Sun Bumei held the melody in her hand, and read it carefully word by word, Cao Yuzan seemed to be listening absent-mindedly.

In a peaceful scene without major disasters, there are basically no important things in the memorials, and most of the officials are exposing, reporting, and slandering each other.Most of them want to kill their competitors, or sue Shangguan who has not moved for more than ten years, so as to seek promotion opportunities for themselves.

I still remember that when Cao Yuzhan first came to power, he took every memorial seriously and sent people to investigate on the spot.But Godsend Emperor Zhao Chong told her: You don't need to look it up, those revelations are probably true.You only need to do two things, first, know about it; second, decide whether to deal with it.

But how to deal with this gang of corrupt officials, Emperor Tianci did not say, and this is exactly where Emperor Tianci wanted to observe Cao Yuzan.

Although Emperor Tianci said that those excerpts were true in all likelihood, Cao Yuzan still insisted on sending his confidant Yushi to the local inspection, and dealt with it according to the working ability and working attitude of the accused officials.If the official can manage the local area in an orderly manner, it doesn't matter if he is greedy for money; if the official is lazy and incompetent, Cao Yuzan will deal with them and publicize them.

Moreover, Cao Yuzan is still looking for those who have a sense of justice among the "plaintiffs".

Although most of the people she selected were bluffing and flamboyant in Su Yu's eyes, those people still became the main force of Cao Yuzan's 300 censors, and the eight princeling sticks came into being.

What Cao Yuhan did was seen by Emperor Tianci.

In the early days of the party struggle, Emperor Tianci considered passing the throne to Zhao Zhun.But later, Zhao Zhun repeatedly failed, which disappointed Emperor Tianci, so he passed the throne to Zhao Ce, who was under one year old, and ordered Cao Yuzan to listen to the government behind the curtain until Zhao Ce was 16 years old.

Before Emperor Tianci's death, he summoned Su Yiren many times, and what he said meant to support his loneliness.At that time, Su Yu was still at a loss, he just felt that such a rich and powerful son-in-law was not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of supporting the lonely.Now it seems that Emperor Tianci has known Su Yu's identity for a long time.And he also had a premonition that the battle for the throne would not stop because of the little emperor's supremacy.

"...Now there are unworthy people in my dynasty who claim to be taught by this method, which is extremely absurd..."

Most of the excerpts written by the ministers are classical Chinese, which is a way of speaking that the literati deliberately distinguish from the vernacular of ordinary people.Sun Bumei's education level is limited, and there is a dictionary beside her, and when she encounters a word she does not know, she will look it up on the spot.And Cao Yuzan was not in a hurry at all, so she asked her to read slowly.

It has to be said that Sun Bumei is still improving. She looks through the dictionary less and less, and her reading speed is getting faster and faster.And Cao Yuzan just fell on the couch, sometimes picking up a pen to record something in a big book that was about to be flipped through.

After about an hour, Sun Bumei's mouth became parched and she finished reading.Turning her head, Cao Yuzan lay there with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.Her black cat slept even more deeply, on all fours, belly up, snoring softly.

Sun Bumei was about to put a thin blanket on Cao Yuzan, when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, which woke Cao Yuzan up, and when she looked up, it was Cao Xiaobao trotting into the hall.He looked a little excited and a little flustered.

"Your Majesty, something big is wrong! Oops, something big is wrong!"

Cao Yuzan sat up expressionlessly and looked at Cao Xiaobao.The black cat woke up startled, and also sat on the couch and looked at Cao Xiaobao coldly.

Cao Yuzan knew Cao Xiaobao too well, if it was really an urgent matter, Cao Xiaobao would have yelled about it from afar.But if he said first, "The big thing is not good", and then stood there with an air of sarcasm, it meant that it must not be a big thing.

The reason why he paused was to exaggerate the tension.But today Miss Cao was not in the mood to tease him, so she said coldly, "What's the matter?"

Cao Xiaobao approached, and the freshness of "seeing a miraculous scene" appeared on his face: "The dog ate Kang Wang's elixir and became a fairy!"

"Phew! What nonsense!" Cao Yuzan pointed at Cao Xiaobao: "Can a dog become a fairy?"

Cao Xiaobao smiled and said: "We dare not lie to your mother, listen to your mother's order, Xiaobao feeds the dog ten elixir every day, they are all ground into powder and mixed with the rice. After eating for three days, the dog changed, his eyes turned red, A dog with a bad temper, who used to be very cowardly, is now so powerful that he has beaten all other dogs into obedience, and he has become the king of dogs! Do you think this is becoming a fairy?"

"Is there such a thing?" Cao Yuhan was a little curious.

Having nothing to do, Cao Yuzan decided to go and see for himself.

The graceful and luxurious empress dowager in the Jinluan Palace will not dress so formally when she comes to court.And there wasn't a single man in the entire palace, so she didn't bother to dress herself up.For example, today, she was wearing a playful skirt, twisting her waist and walking towards the gate of Changqiu Palace.

More than a dozen mastiffs are kept at the gate of the palace.

Cao Yuzan used to hate animals very much, but since having a big fat cat named "Black Tiger", her hairy phobia has almost been cured.But Cao Yuhan still doesn't like dogs.She has never touched a dog once, but she trusts the dog.She also said that dogs are the most loyal and sometimes stronger than humans.

Dogs, like wolves, have a very strict hierarchy.They can tell who is the leader of a group of people.When the Queen Mother arrived, the dogs shook their heads and bowed their heads humbly.As soon as Cao Yuzan approached, they voluntarily lay down on the ground, expressing their submission.

"Your Majesty, you can be careful, just take a look from a distance." Cao Xiaobao said politely.

"Hmph, these dogs were raised by me, how dare they do anything to me?" Cao Yuzan said dismissively.

"Your Majesty, don't forget, one of them has become a fairy."

"Get out of the way, don't bother me."

Usually these dogs are very obedient, but today is different. There is a mastiff with red eyes and saliva dripping from the mouth.

Cao Yuzan was angry and scolded: "Bastard! Breeding hatred?"

The giant dog roared suddenly and rushed towards Cao Yuhan.

Cao Yuhan was shocked, shouted "Oh my god", and ran away.

Cao Xiaobao shouted: "Protect your mother!"

With a cry, Cao Xiaobao rushed towards the dog and struck out with his palm.Originally, this palm was enough to knock the vicious dog to the ground, but Cao Yuzhan panicked and bumped into it.Cao Xiaobao hastily retreated, and when he was about to make a move again, Cao Yuhan ran past Cao Xiaobao screaming in horror, and the mad dog was chasing after her.

Then there was such a scene in Changqiu Palace, the empress dowager screamed and ran in the palace, a vicious dog chased after her, Cao Xiaobao and others chased after the dog, and ran around Changqiu Palace three times.

In the end, it still depends on Cao Xiaobao, who swooped down and pressed the vicious dog under him.A group of eunuchs and court ladies came up and kicked and knocked the dog to the ground.

Cao Yuzan's black cat ran over upon hearing the sound, looked at the vicious dog with empty eyes and air, and gave it two slaps.

……

The king of Qin came to the back hall to see the empress dowager.

For some reason, Cao Yuzan's arrival was a bit slow today.When Cao Yuzan came to the apse, Su Yu noticed that her complexion was not very good.

"Could it be that the emperor's sister-in-law is unwell? If so, let's talk about it another day." Su Yu said politely.

Cao Yuzan brushed her hair: "I'm fine, I just got a little scared."

Su Yuning raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who dares to scare the Queen Mother?"

Cao Yuzan said coldly: "Animal."

No matter how many words Cao Yuzan didn't say, Su Yu didn't know what she meant by "beast", maybe she was swearing.

Since she refused to take the initiative to speak out, Su Yu didn't intend to ask further, but said seriously: "Who was the person who came to deliver the elixir a few days ago? Is it an ordinary postman or a person specially sent by King Kang?"

Cao Yuzan said: "Are you worried that that person is the one who replaced Zhao Guan?"

Su Yu nodded.

In fact, Su Yu is not only concerned about this, but also has another problem.

Yesterday Ximen Wanting ran to Su Yu and said that she saw the man in the portrait in Kang Wang's Mansion, he was the master of Kang Wang's mansion, Wang Sun Zhao Fan.

At the beginning Zhao Fan rented a warehouse in Tongjifang Street to do business, Su Yu once visited Zhao Fan at the warehouse at the invitation of Zhao Ying.Zhao Fan and Zhao Min are twins, they can be said to be exactly the same in appearance.In fact, the two brothers are still easy to distinguish, because their dressing styles are very different.

Zhao Fan was dressed as a literati, and when he entered Kang Wang's mansion, he even wore a tunic with long sleeves.And Zhao Min is a master of the Nine Realms. He followed King Kang Zhao Di in the South and North Wars, and usually wears warrior clothes.

But what Chen Feiyan saw that day was a naked man, and he was far away. It was impossible to tell whether it was Zhao Fan or Zhao Min based on his appearance.And Ximen Wanting looked for someone according to the portrait, and of course she couldn't tell the difference.

In Su Yu's impression, Zhao Fan was an elegant, deep and proud person.If Tang Ling'er didn't believe that Concubine Liang could cheat, Su Yu didn't quite believe that Zhao Fan would do such a thing either.

On the contrary, it's hard to say if it's the perverse Zhao Min.

But this time King Kang went out to fight, and Zhao Min accompanied the army.If Zhao Min is not in Luoyang, then Su Yu's guess is not valid.At this time, Su Yu remembered that Cao Yuzan got a bag of elixir a few days ago, which was sent by King Kang, so Su Yu thought that Zhao Min might be back.

Cao Yuzan nodded: "I remember I reminded you that day."

Su Yu also nodded: "But you didn't say it was Zhao Min."

Cao Yuzan sighed: "I didn't tell you on purpose, just to make you more careful. The more mysterious you are, the more you have to be careful. Isn't it?"

"The more mysterious, the more curious people are." Su Yu smiled wryly, pointed at Cao Yuzan's cat and said, "Curiosity killed the cat."
