Ming Zuo

Chapter 640
"Master, then Cao Wenzhao is Hong Zhijun's favorite general. I'm afraid that Hong Zhijun's protection will make you hopeless for revenge."

Xu Yaqing's flirtatious attacks appeared, she seemed to be thinking of Liu Lingyu, but in fact she was trying to find out the truth.

Liu Lingyu was trapped in the gentle village, so he really wasn't suspicious.

"Hahaha, beauty, you don't understand. To be an official in the Ming Dynasty is to be learned."

As soon as Xu Yaqing heard it, she regained her energy, and rubbed her body more and more, causing Liu Lingyu's whole body to catch fire from the rubbing.

"Master, is there really a good way?"

Liu Lingyu rubbed her porcelain-like skin back and forth with his hands, and he also explained all the ways of being an official in the Ming Dynasty.

"Being an official in Ming Dynasty does not mean that the higher you are, the better. The bigger the official position and the higher the status, the more you will be targeted by the public. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at you, and the emperor is on guard. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything Hong Chengchou is known as the governor of the three sides, but he governs the military affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan provinces. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has there ever been a civil servant with such awe? , Hong Chengchou dared not act rashly, lest he be doomed."

After hearing this, Xu Yaqing suddenly realized.

A demon girl like her, even though she has traveled the rivers and lakes all year round and experienced many intrigues, she can be regarded as unparalleled in her schemes.But because the level is too low, it is obvious that he does not understand the rules in the court.

After listening to Liu Lingyu's explanation today, Xu Yaqing finally had a preliminary understanding of what was going on in the imperial court.

"My lord, I am old with Zhang Sima of the Ministry of War. Because of this relationship, all he needs is an impeachment memorial, and Cao Wenzhao will definitely not be able to eat it."

Xu Yaqing knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she hurriedly asked.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with Cao Wenzhao."

Liu Lingyu's laughter became even louder.

"You, you, so simple, how can I not like my master?"

A cruel look flashed in his eyes.

"The mistakes in the officialdom are not made, but spoken. As long as my master speaks well, Cao Wenzhao is right and wrong. Among other things, Yang Yuchun died in battle and Ma Fengyi was besieged. Cao Wenzhao It’s so close, why did it take so long? This isn’t putting the friendly army in danger, what is it?”

Xu Yaqing was dumbfounded.

I thought that the intrigues in the world are already extremely thrilling.

But he didn't expect that the reversal of black and white in the court was hard to guard against.

Liu Lingyu did what he said, and wrote the impeachment memorial the next day, and sent it to the capital in a hurry.

Zhang Fengyi didn't dare to neglect after receiving it, and quickly presented it to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, and I think it's time to investigate in detail, so as not to injure my loyal ministers."

After reading the memorial, Chongzhen really didn't believe Liu Lingyu's one-sided words.

"Then check it out."

Zhang Fengyi got the order, and immediately sent people to Henan after returning.

Yang Yuchun is dead, and the only person who can ask him is Ma Fengyi.

"General Ma, in that day's battle, was Cao Zongrong's rescue in time?"

Ma Fengyi knew that she was caught in a turmoil, and a careless move would bring disaster to the family.

After much deliberation, he decided that no one should be offended.

"The final general was able to get out of trouble, thanks to Cao Zongrong's arrival, so that our army can retain its vitality. I only regret not taking advantage of this good opportunity to defeat Li Zicheng."

These words sounded like nothing at first glance, but they revealed a serious message.

That is Cao Wenzhao came late.

Otherwise, the combination of Ma and Cao should be able to defeat Li Zicheng.

"Cao Zongrong is a mighty general in the world, and he has his own decisions on the battlefield. According to our family, why bother?"

Cao Wenzhao's eunuch Sun Maolin also testified.

These words are more serious.

What is the court most afraid of?
Of course, the generals are domineering and disobedient to discipline, recreating the old things in the feudal town.

Why did Sun Maolin cheat Cao Wenzhao?
Because Cao Wenzhao relied on being Hong Chengchou's favorite general, he didn't respect Sun Maolin, the eunuch who supervised the army, and he didn't share benefits, which made Sun Maolin hold a grudge.

Once a creature like a eunuch does something bad, it will be accurate as soon as it is shot.

The people in the court made a judgment and reported it to Chongzhen after returning.

All the sayings come together, and there is only one core.

That is Cao Wenzhao faintly has the potential to become a warlord.

The Ming Dynasty always took strict precautions against generals, and there was a lesson from Zuo Menggeng before him, and Chongzhen himself was a very suspicious emperor.

The combination of various factors immediately made Chongzhen make a wrong judgment.

He personally issued an edict, condemning Cao Wenzhao as arbitrarily arbitrary and delaying the military aircraft, and ordered Cao Wenzhao to go to Datong to defend the border to make atonement.

When the edict was sent to the front line in Shanxi, Cao Wenzhao was dumbfounded.

"Master Zhijun, the last general who suppresses thieves has always rushed to the front and never fell behind. He is covered in wounds and blood is flowing like a river. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. The court is so wronged, and the last general refuses to accept it. I also ask the military commander to do it for you." The end will be the master!"

Cao Wenzhao was furious, and went to Hong Chengchou, hoping to stand up for him.

"Cao Zongrong's injustice, I know all about it. You can take office with peace of mind, and I will seek justice for you in this matter."

Hearing what Hong Chengchou said, Cao Wenzhao was very dissatisfied.

"Datong is a bitter and cold place, and there is nothing to do. If you leave this place, you will lose your fame and fame. What future can you talk about?"

Obviously Cao Wenzhao saw clearly that Hong Chengchou didn't mean to stand up for him.

Thinking that I obeyed Hong Chengchou's words and followed the horse's lead, I didn't know that I had made a lot of contributions to Hong Chengchou.As a result, he was wronged, but the Shangguan avoided it.

Cao Wenzhao has a new understanding of the cold heart.

Feeling the resentment in Cao Wenzhao's eyes, Hong Chengchou felt helpless and painful in his heart.

If possible, he certainly wants to stand up for Cao Wenzhao.

He knew very well that whether he could put down the rogue bandits in the northwest depended on Cao Wenzhao.

Other than that, the other generals were all scumbags, and they obeyed his orders secretly.

But Hong Chengchou knew that he was sitting on the crater, and if he was not careful, all previous efforts would be wasted.

There have been many discussions in the court and in the middle, and they feel that the power in his hands is too great and should be limited.

Hong Chengchou even got wind of it.

The court seems to have the intention of promoting Chen Qiyu.

The purpose, of course, is to limit him.

This imperial court does not care about the official's ability to do things, how much contribution, or how much credit, as long as it feels that the official's position is high and powerful, and there is a hidden danger that cannot be lost, it will inevitably impose restrictions.

Since he left Shaanxi and came to Shanxi to suppress the bandits, Hong Chengchou obviously felt that his actions were far less smooth than when he was in Shaanxi.

Everyone in the imperial court felt that the northwestern bandits were trapped in the barren land in the south of Shanxi and the north of Henan, and it seemed that their eradication was just around the corner.

Only Hong Chengchou felt that a greater disaster was waiting for the Ming Dynasty.

He could see it, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The only thing we can do now is to protect ourselves first, and then we can do things.

As for Cao Wenzhao's grievances and resentment, he could do nothing but look up to the sky and sigh.
