Lord Yuan

Chapter 89 The famous bet

Zhao Pushe knelt on the ground in a daze, and tentatively raised his head a little to get a clear look at the face on the stage.

According to the wishes of the Chang'an Township Marquis, he didn't really plan to take action without knowing the identity of the person.

I can work wholeheartedly and diligently for him for so long. There is no credit but hard work.

What's more, you also gave away enough property to support the lives of civilians in half the county for a year and a half. At such a huge cost, how could you just sit back and watch.

That Shang Shu Pu She is the first person who has the most influence on whether you can grasp the content of the edict. Without you, who else would be willing to do such a thing for you?

Zhao Pushe couldn't stop complaining in his heart, but he still had a respectful attitude on his face.

When he saw the extremely playful expression of the Marquis of Chang'an Township on the stage, he understood everything in an instant.

That the other party is unknown is all nonsense.

Obviously he just wants to suck out the last bit of value from himself.

And value is nothing more than those things outside oneself.

These rootless people are really greedy.

But he didn't have any good options at the moment. His position as Minister of Public Affairs was still in someone else's hands. If he made the Marquis of the country unhappy, he might not be able to take down the official position directly.

He took a deep breath, and the decision in his eyes froze in an instant. He had paid too much for this position as a servant, and he absolutely couldn't let it be taken away like this.

"The official knows that the fake servant must not be a descendant of the Yuan family. If not, the official is willing to use half of the property in my house as a bet."

Zhao Pushe gritted his teeth and trembled with extreme pain.

"Oh, I am surprised that you have such confidence."

Cao Jie smiled coldly, stretched out his hand to straighten the hat collar on his head, and then said casually: "But in my opinion, it's better to just divide the remaining half of your money and take it as a bet. If I lose, I will take all of it." How do you feel about double the return?"

Zhao Pushe raised his head slightly in fear, only to see Cao Xiang on the stage staring at him, like a rusty steel knife, the not-so-sharp cold light came in the blink of an eye, and his cold eyes were deep And indifferent.

Is this what eunuchs do?

He thought he had a deep enough understanding of these eunuchs who were in charge of the power in the palace.

Take the use of this greedy money to build a palace that is comparable to the emperor's feet. It would be invisible to anyone, but for eunuchs, it is just normal.

Every eunuch seems to be born with this need. Without one thing, they always like these superficial and luxurious things, such as mansions, pearls, and even beautiful women.

Although he didn't know how these eunuchs exercised their original rights, he understood that at least his life did not seem to be as good as these eunuchs who were more than ten thousand people.

Not to mention, the eunuchs used the reputation of being party members to kill all those scholars who dared to resist them.

Now, the only person he seems to be able to rely on is the Marquis of Chang'an, who stands taller than the sky and has a heart darker than a jackal.

As for what Cao Jie said, if he wins, all the bets will be returned, or even doubled, Zhao Pushe sneered at this.

When can the food swallowed by a wolf be spit out again?

In addition to the fact that after this cunning and cruel wolf was caught, he was tortured, his skin and bones were torn off, his bones were torn off, and he was subjected to all kinds of torture, and he might even get a very small amount of food scraps.

Now whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. It is obvious that Zhao Pushe has a full understanding of the power balance between eunuchs and scholars.Don't look at the fact that the scholars have been gearing up to have a head-on collision with the eunuchs. However, in fact, the eunuchs have already been aware of this, and their secret actions are only a lot more than those of the so-called scholars.

Some of these methods hidden in the dark will emerge in an extremely destructive way at the most careless moment of the scholars.

Zhao Pushe knew some of these contents, just the number of eunuchs who contacted him. When he knew it, he was amazed.

Eunuchs are eunuchs after all, and among tens of thousands of people, there are still so many officials who want to step on other people's bones to get to the eunuchs with just one order.

After all, the eunuchs are not lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The last disaster of party imprisonment has been raging for so long.

These scholars are so rampant.

Big deal.

Just another disaster of party imprisonment.

"If the Marquis of Chang'an County is so interested, he will naturally accept the offer of the Marquis of the Township. The official will then go back and pack things up as soon as possible, and try to send the bet to the Marquis of the Township for notarization as soon as possible."

Zhao Pushe put away the restlessness in his heart, and he could only choose to hug tightly the big tree that seemed to reach directly to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Then let's discuss it like this. Yuan Pu will be reinstated in a few days. You can rest assured and be a good servant at the Chancellor. There is no chance that the Japanese Marquis will need to trouble you."

Cao Jie looked at Zhao Pushe in front of him with satisfaction. He thought he needed to spend some time talking, but he didn't expect this man to be so aware of current affairs.

This person can be cultivated.

As for Yuan Pushe.

If the children of the Yuan family are easy to talk to, the worst thing they can do is go there in person to meet the servant of the Yuan family, the head of the Yuan family. At this juncture, he doesn't dare to offend us, the regular servants.

If he were not a descendant of the Yuan family, it would be easier to find a small yellow gate, go to the Taifu's Mansion where the minister's affairs were recorded, and use His Majesty's decree to make the Taifu Chen Fan give up voluntarily.

The Taifu has always respected His Majesty the Emperor's will. Although he now holds the power to open the palace and record affairs, his deep respect for the Emperor has never faded away.

The easiest way to deal with this kind of people is to issue an imperial edict in the tone of His Majesty the Emperor. This trick has been tried and tested time and time again.

"Then I'll thank the Marquis of Chang'an in advance, and I'll take my leave first."

After receiving Cao Jie's promise, Zhao Pushe, who had been depressed before, suddenly became happy.

That's what eunuchs are good for.

They won't brag about what they can't do in front of you, and they often show full confidence only when they are sure of it.

Although the scholars are now in full swing, officials at all levels are shining in their positions, making the court seem to have a completely new look, but in fact, all this is without the intervention of the eunuchs.

After taking this reassurance, he walked out of Hou Caojie's mansion in Chang'an Township with a swagger.

On the street in front of the door, pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages are constantly flowing, and few people choose to stop in front of this mansion that is so luxurious that it is difficult to describe in words.

In addition, this is the well-known residence of the eunuch Cao Jie, so ordinary people would not dare to stay here any longer.

And those officials everywhere who wanted to cling to him had to first respect their servants in turn. Only with their permission could they have a chance to see Cao Jie's true face.
