Chapter 998 Taking Off the Mask ([-])
Cao Yuzan met with the censor every day, and when the last censor left the apse, the hall was eerily quiet except for the purring of the black cat.

Cao Xiaobao went outside to spread the message, and Sun Bumei went to the imperial dining room to fetch fruit. At this time, the hall was empty, and the black-robed queen mother felt indescribably lonely.

Cao Meiren, who is in full bloom, looks more and more melancholy with her eyes downcast. She seems to be thinking about someone.

Since the start of the party struggle, King Qin has never been to the apse again.His decision was correct, if he still came to the apse, Cao Yuzan would find it troublesome instead.

As the main member of the King Kang faction, it is impossible for her to let King Qin leave the apse.Otherwise she is a betrayal of Kang Wang.As for the consequences of betraying King Kang, she knew better than anyone else.

Kang Wang kept saying that he was a gentleman and a saint, but he threatened the queen mother at any time.The little emperor is only three years old, so restraining the queen mother is equivalent to controlling the emperor.This is Kang Shengren in people's mind.

Cao Yuzan reads books and newspapers every day, watching both sides scold and fight, and there are endless articles from all walks of life. As a member of Kang Wang faction, she prefers to read articles scolding Kang Wang.

Of course, she had to order the secretary against her will to save those small book and newspaper offices that followed suit, but Tang Xianshe is the official media of the Tang family, and has officials from the Xianwang faction to support it, so Tang Xianshe cannot be shut down.

Then Cao Yuzan sent people to make trouble, but she made trouble a few times, but it didn't have much effect, because the Tang clan had a complete paper media industry chain.From large factories such as papermaking to workshops producing pens, inks and inkstones, Tsinghua Workshop has everything that one expects to find.

Later, Cao Yuzan sent people to sneak into Tang Xianshe and burn the printed fonts, but the next day the Tang family took out the spare fonts in stock and added guards to the printing factory.

Cao Yuzan made a lot of small moves, just to let King Kang know that the Queen Mother is working hard for you.

Obviously, Kang Wang Zhao Di didn't appreciate it, he felt that Cao Yuzan had used at most three points.

Kang Wang ordered the eunuch to go into the palace to scold Cao Yuhan. This time Cao Yuhan stopped scolding the eunuch, but just listened.

The eunuch questioned instead of King Kang: Where did your energy to fight Zhao Zhun go?Where's your Jinyiwei?You are a murderer!If your Jinyiwei cannot be used by King Kang, then what is the meaning of Jinyiwei's existence?What is the meaning of your existence?
It seems that Kang Wang has been scolded by Qin Wang so much that he almost went crazy.

Moreover, King Qin not only has actions in the paper media, he is also training soldiers.

The forces of the two sides are intertwined, and they both send scouts to watch each other. As long as one of the divisions moves, the other will immediately follow.

Recently, the King of Qin frequently mobilized the No. 11 Division of the Fourth Division for military exercises, and the troops suddenly rushed out of the camp and ran towards Luoyang.Scared so much that King Kang's troops quickly followed up, but after running for more than a dozen miles, King Qin's troops came back again, laughing at each other as they walked.

If it's just a military exercise during the day, it's fine. Sometimes in the middle of the night, they rush out suddenly with drums and gongs.

What made Zhao Di even more disturbed was that the King of Qin actually gathered the Jinwu Guards and ran to Daoguangfang for some kind of safety drill.He led Cao Renfeng, Li Dao, Wu Xing, Li Fu and others to dance guns and knives in front of Kang Wang's mansion, showing off their might.Zhao Yafu hurriedly assembled his troops, and King Qin took the troops away again, wandering around Luoyang City for a while.

Soldiers are also deceitful, that thing is fake and real, who knows that one day the king of Qin will suddenly act for the real thing?
If the king of Qin continues to toss like this, he doesn't know when there will be big troubles.

If Cao Yuzan doesn't come up with some real skills, Kang Wang will take the queen mother for surgery.At that time, Cao Yuhan was not as good as Zhao Zhun.At least Zhao Zhun still retains the title of prince, and once Cao Yuhan leaves the palace, what will she be.If he guessed right, Kang Wang would not let her leave alive.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head to look, and saw that it was Li Wantang rushing over: "Report to the Empress Dowager, King Kang left Luoyang last night and lived in Xiaopingjin."

"This bastard finally shrank his head back." Cao Yuzhan snorted coldly: "I read the articles scolding him in recent books and newspapers, but I didn't see him fighting back?"

Li Wantang said: "I heard that it was Zhao Yuan who suggested to King Kang that silence is golden."

Cao Yuzan laughed dryly: "This is really a good idea."

Obviously Cao Yuzan was talking ironically. If King Qin could really scold King Kang, it would be a good thing for Cao Yuzan.In the future, Cao Yuzan will win the power of King Kang, and he will be famous as a teacher.

Therefore, in this scolding battle, Cao Yuzan was very inactive.She was also perfunctory when dealing with those small book and newspaper companies that followed suit.Later, it was Zhao Yuan who sent people to seal it up, which achieved the effect of silence.

But King Qin was very clever at mobilizing public opinion. He asked Tang Xianshe to imitate the tabloids, print and distribute different versions of newspapers, and then sent sailors to various cities and towns to give them away for free.Even if people who can't read and write use the house as toilet paper, King Qin is willing.Besides, the money was paid by the Ministry of Households, and it didn't cost him King Qin's money.

Recently, Cao Yuzan's censor began to take action. He criticized the accounting of the Ministry of Accounts in the last court, and the officials of the Xianwang faction were also vegetarians from time to time, and they shouted back excitedly. The two sides quarreled all morning.

Now the king of Qin is no longer in court, and stays in the palace of King Qin all day long. It is Zhao Feng, the virtuous king, who takes the place of King Qin.

Zhao Feng went to court every day, and the hairpin wat was full of words, all of which were the orders of King Qin.If you encounter something difficult to handle, just say that we will discuss it next morning.If it is an emergency, let the ministers come to the Palace of King Qin to discuss with King Qin.

That is to say, if the matter cannot be resolved in the court, it will be discussed in the Palace of King Qin.At this time, King Qin was more powerful than the emperor.

Of course, with King Kang around, no matter how powerful the King of Qin is, it would be empty.Except for the Xianwang faction, in fact, no one came to the Palace of the King of Qin to discuss important matters.

"Kang Kang made a list and asked Jin Yiwei to do it." While speaking, Li Wantang handed the list to Cao Yuzan.

Cao Yuzan opened the list and saw that they were all officials from the Xianwang faction, including civil servants and military officials, and even Zhang Yishou, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion.

Cao Yuzan sighed and said, "Then give the list to Zhang Mi and let him figure it out."

Li Wantang said: "Doesn't the Empress Dowager consider changing someone?"

"Oh?" Cao Yuzan frowned slightly: "How do you say that?"

Li Wantang said: "Zhang Mi has a very close personal relationship with King Qin, let him handle this matter..."

Cao Yuzan said in a deep voice: "Because they have been in close contact, I have always held a grudge, so I took this opportunity to let them break up. Or let Zhang Mi make a choice. I don't want to see someone stepping on two boats at the same time. "

Li Wantang said: "But now is not the time to tear yourself apart with the King of Qin. It is still useful to keep Zhang Mi."

Cao Yuzan took a deep breath: "Then who do you want to do it? Can this person be as crazy as Zhang Mi?"

Li Wantang smiled and said: "King Geng's mansion was raided, King Geng has fallen, and King Geng's staff Han Wei who worked in Jingzhao Mansion has been dismissed by Zhang Yishou. Last time King Geng fell from power, Han Wei went to visit, But this time he didn't go, but came directly to our family, hoping that our family would introduce him to the queen mother."

Cao Yuzan sneered: "Han Wei and Zhang Mi are rivals, what do you mean, put Han Wei in Jinyiwei?"

Li Wantang said: "Now Hong Dun is the leader of Jinyiwei, Zhang Mi is just a thousand households, and the position of commander has been vacant, then let Han Wei be the contemporary commander. If Han Wei wants to make this 'deputy If the word 'is removed, the old slave believes that he will work harder. The old slave also believes that Zhang Mi will not listen to Han Wei's command. In this way, Han Wei's actions can deal with King Kang; Over there, we are being merciful. Presumably King Qin wants revenge. Then let’s throw Han Wei out. King Qin will get rid of Han Wei, so King Qin will be able to save face.”

Cao Yuzan nodded and said: "Then do it according to your ideas, but I think you should tell King Qin in advance, lest he think that I am trying to deal with him with all my strength, and I am worried that he will hate me."

Li Wantang nodded, looked up at Cao Yuzan, Cao Yuzan didn't speak anymore, Li Wantang was about to leave, at this moment Cao Yuzan said: "I see that King Qin and others are calling Zhao Di a fake, a stand-in, what's going on? "

Li Wantang didn't answer right away, but hesitated before saying, "Before retreating, King Kang was a man."

Cao Yuzan nodded: "He retreated because he was castrated by Empress Chen?"

Li Wantang didn't say anything.

Cao Yuzan smiled and said, "After being a eunuch for ten years and then showing it to others, it's no wonder everyone dislikes him. Since that's the case, I'm relieved. You can go about your business."

……

"The Empress Dowager ordered Han Wei to be the acting commander of Jinyiwei. I hope that Eunuch Hong and Han Wei will cooperate sincerely."

The eunuch in the palace came to Jinyiwei to convey the Queen Mother's order. Although it was only a verbal order, the fat eunuch with a white face and a weight of [-] catties still knelt on the ground respectfully, and said: "Please, Eunuch Han, report to the Queen Mother. I will definitely cooperate with Han Wei." .”

The eunuch surnamed Han smiled, stepped forward with a fake appearance, and helped Hong Dun get up.

After the two sat down, Eunuch Han said, "What is it about cooperating and not cooperating? Your empress is talking about cooperating. Then, what should Eunuch Hong do, do you know what to do?"

The Black Kunlun Slave is powerful, but his brain is not bright enough. He didn't know how to answer: "Uh..., our family is old, and we haven't served your mother for a long time, so we don't dare to speculate about the holy will."

While speaking, Hong Dun took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into Eunuch Han's sleeve.

Eunuch Han smiled brightly, and said in a strange voice: "Look at it, we are old acquaintances, why are you so polite. What the empress means is, let Han Wei charge forward, and Hong Gonggong just don't hold back."

Hong Dun smiled: "Please ask Eunuch Han to report to Madam, this old slave will take orders."
