Wei Wuhou

Chapter 793 Wei Wuji's Doubt

(Hands are so cold, if someone can subscribe to some, or give some rewards, the author must feel like a spring breeze and write books faster!)
Under the leadership of the servant, Cao Jun followed behind obediently, both of them were very quiet.

But at this time, Cao Jun's heart was in a state of confusion. For a while, he was afraid of meeting the king, and for a while he secretly wondered whether he was about to be appointed as the sheriff.

Under this double sky of ice and fire, Cao Jun was taken outside the Palace of Yongming, where Wei Wuji governed.

And here is the place where Cao Jun has never been, even though he is Wei Wuji's uncle.

This place is the place where the monarchs discuss matters with important ministers. When the four county guards were appointed, Wei Wuji summoned these four people here.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun's heart became eager again, and he seemed to have seen the position of sheriff beckoning to him.

Now he can prove to his grandfather and those who look down on him that he, Cao Jun, is also a person who can win the favor of the monarch and make great achievements.

After waiting outside the hall for a while, the servant's sharp voice brought Cao Jun back to reality.

"Cao Changshi, the lord calls you to have an audience!" the servant said slowly.

Cao Jun immediately stood in awe, and after finishing his appearance, he followed the waiter and walked into the hall.

Entering the main hall, Cao Jun didn't see Wei Wuji, but the servant told him to wait here.

This is the main hall of the Yongming Palace, where the monarch and important ministers discuss matters, so Cao Jun couldn't help but take a second look.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Wei Wuji coming, which made his heart hang up again just after landing.

Just now, he still felt that his position as the sheriff was secure, but this feeling came and went quickly, and Cao Jun even felt a little anxious at this moment.

Just now he looked at the majestic hall, but now he felt extremely oppressed, and even made him a little out of breath.

At this time, continuous footsteps came from the quiet hall, waking Cao Jun up from his torment.

It was only at this time that Cao Jun deeply felt that he was so vulnerable, and it was only a one-time interview that forced him to be at a loss.

At this time, only the monarch Cao Jun could walk in the hall, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty Cao Jun pays homage to you!"

Cao Jun knocked his head on the floor of the hall just like that. It was fine to get along with the monarch at the court meeting just now, but at this moment he did find that he was a little scared.

At this time, Cao Jun heard that Wei Wuji's footsteps were gradually slowing down. In fact, he could feel that the other party was on the imperial steps in front of him.

At this moment, Cao Jun's heart jumped into his throat. He could not understand the majesty of a monarch before, but now he has a deep understanding of it. This is a kind of coercion that makes courtiers unable to look directly at it.

"The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow-rooted..."

Hearing this voice, Cao Jun was able to confirm that it was really Wei Wuji who had arrived, so he looked even more respectful.

Standing at the top of the main hall, Wei Wuji looked down at Cao Jun who was kneeling below, and then continued to read: "Bamboo shoots in the mountains, with a sharp mouth, thick skin, and a hollow belly!"

After saying this, Wei Wuji slowly sat down on the throne, and said to Cao Jun below: "Qing Cao, in your opinion, do these two sentences make sense?"

Cao Jun was nervous just now, so he would have time to think about whether these two sentences were well said, but since Wei Wuji asked, he could only try his best to recall.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The reeds on the wall and the bamboo shoots in the mountains couldn't be the monarch discussing plants with him!
Top-heavy...a sharp mouth and a thick skin...who are you talking about?

When Cao Jun was about to get an answer, he heard Wei Wuji continue: "Cao Qing, I think these two sentences are very clever, and they fully express the self-righteousness of the reeds and bamboo shoots!"

"However, there are some people, just like those reeds and bamboo shoots, who think they are outstanding in virtue and ability... they are ridiculed and don't know it!"

Wei Wuji's words were like a cold blade, piercing Cao Jun's heart fiercely, making him even want to go limp at this moment.

The monarch's unabashed sarcasm made Cao Jun feel ashamed at this time, and wanted to find a crack to get in.

Now that the words have come to this point, how could Cao Jun not realize that the reeds and bamboo shoots in the mouth of the monarch are talking about himself.

But at this time, Cao Jun didn't know how to distinguish for himself, he could only lower his head even deeper.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wuji was even more disappointed with Cao Jun. Is such a person worthy of a great responsibility?
"Raise your head!" Wei Wuji sternly said.

This time, Cao Jun still dared to act like an ostrich, and his whole body bounced like a compressed spring.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Cao Jun shouted, he could only beg for mercy if he didn't dare to tell the difference.

Wei Wuji felt deeply ashamed of Cao Jun for recognizing him so quickly, but it also made him understand that Cao Jun might also be used.

Wei Wuji still asked: "Your talent, do you think you can be the county guard?"

If it hadn't been for the scene just now, Cao Jun would have patted his chest and told Wei Wuji that it would be perfect for him to be the county guard.

But at this time, Cao Jun could only say in panic: "I am guilty, I... only have county officials, but I don't have the talent to manage a county!"

At this time, Cao Jun was a little clever and didn't directly say that he was not talented enough, but that he was not talented enough.

Wei Wuji couldn't help sneering, and then said: "Insufficient in talent? Can you recommend yourself as a sheriff? Insufficient in talent and still get support from courtiers?"

At this moment, Cao Jun was sweating profusely on his forehead. The feeling of being questioned continuously was really uncomfortable.

Cao Jun was speechless. He didn't know how to explain it. This feeling made him feel scared. At this time, he couldn't help but think of his grandfather. It turned out that he really didn't understand anything.

So at this time, Cao Jun could only lower his head to show his surrender.

"Insufficient in talent and virtue, you should learn more and see more, and practice more!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Wei Wuji's tone showed signs of slowing down, Cao Jun said tremblingly, "Thank you for your teaching!"

At this time, Wei Wuji said: "Go down!"

These words almost made Cao Jun not turn the corner, so he just let himself go?Only then did he dare to raise his head to look at Wei Wuji, but he didn't look like he was furious.

Cao Jun wanted to leave this place a long time ago, so he paid respects to Wei Wuji and said, "I will leave!"

After Wei Wuji had nothing to say, Cao Jun stood up cautiously, and then slowly retreated out of the hall.

When he stepped over the threshold of the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had been reborn.

At this time, when Cao Jun looked back at the main hall behind him again, he felt nothing but anticipation.

Cao Jun was terrified at this place where important ministers were discussing affairs, secretly thinking that he was not qualified to enter and leave this place.

The suffocating feeling in the hall just now still lingers in his heart until now, making him shiver involuntarily.

After Cao Junfeng fled the hall, Wei Wuji was still sitting in the hall, looking ahead in silence.

The reason why he let Cao Jun leave directly was because he could feel that someone like Cao Jun could only be used by others, not the mastermind who just knew the conspiracy.

If you can't ask anything from Cao Jun, it's better to just let him go, so as not to startle the snake by asking too many questions.

Thinking of this, Wei Wuji said in a deep voice, "Yu Zhong, go ahead and call Wei Hu!"

Since he couldn't find out if he couldn't figure it out, he just checked it out, so Wei Wuji asked Wei Hu from the Fengying Department to check it out.

After a while, Wei Hu hurried into the main hall under the leadership of the servants, paid respects to Wei Wuji and bowed to listen to the instructions.

Wei Wuji glanced at Wei Hu, and then said: "General Wei Hu, the late emperor relied heavily on you when he was alive, and I warn the widow to trust you!"

At this time, Wei Hu couldn't stand still anymore, and he bowed down and said: "The kindness of the first king, I will repay the king with ten thousand deaths!"

Wei Wuji nodded, seemed very satisfied with Wei Hu's answer, and then he said: "There is another important matter right now, you should check it out, you must find out the ins and outs of it!"

Wei Hu couldn't help being awe-inspiring. The king talked about his predecessors, which meant that this matter was absolutely serious, so he had to listen carefully to Wei Wuji's explanation.

After Wei Wuji explained everything about the court meeting clearly, he said to Wei Hu: "This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, are you sure?"

Wei Hu didn't think too much, and said directly: "Within three days, I will give you an explanation!"

Wei Wuji nodded, and then asked Wei Hu to go down to work. He also wanted to know who were behind the scenes and what their purpose was.

At this time, Prime Minister Guo Liangdong, Doctor Yushi Zhang Yu and others appeared in front of Wei Wuji's eyes. He cast his suspicion on these three people.

Only these three people have the strength to inspire the courtiers.
