Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 500 The Cause of Today
Cao Xiandong is definitely a wise man, he can conceive of a character with the system of three governments and two houses, so his mind is naturally very sharp, but after a while of daze, he fully understands Yin Zuo's intentions, and even thinks about the strangeness behind such intentions After reading it thoroughly, I felt a chill in my heart, a bitter smile appeared on my face, I kowtowed and said: "The grass people respect the order and thank you."

"That's good." Yin Zuo said with a faint smile: "There is still more than a month before the opening of the Confucianism Department of Erudite Confucianism. I have ordered the Bohong Academy to be cleaned up. Mr. Cao will go to the Bohong Academy to prepare for the exam. I will send someone to send you sir." Although Yinzuo said with a smile, but his words revealed an unquestionable determination, Cao Xiandong had no choice but to kowtow his head to thank him, and he left Yanbozhi with the company of several young eunuchs. Shuang Court.

"How?" After Cao Xiandong withdrew, Yinzuo looked at Fang Linggao sitting cross-legged in the corner with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Fang Linggao twirled his long beard and asked with a sly look in his eyes.

"Hahaha..." Yinzuo pointed at Fang Linggao and laughed loudly. He stopped laughing after a while, sighed but didn't say anything more, waved his hand and said, "Come on, Xuan Hongli."

Youshi is the right card, the sun has already set to the west, but it is still very hot, Hongli rushed back to the house in a big sedan chair, and even had no time to wipe off the sweat on his face, so he rushed into the Daoxia gate and hurried to the study Today's unreasonable interview made Hongli flustered and flustered. During the entire half-hour interview, the Holy Majesty didn't say anything other than asking the officials of the household department. What Cao Xiandong talked about made Hongli feel a very bad premonition, no, when he got home, Hongli hurried to the study without even taking care of washing up.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw Cao Xiandong sitting at the table drinking tea. Hongli felt relieved at last, took out a piece of white silk from his arms, wiped off the sweat on his face, heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down. Fell on the chair, looked at Cao Xiandong and said, "Sir, it's okay, I'm worried about you." Cao Xiandong gave Hongli a pityful look, shook his head with a wry smile, but said nothing.

Hongli was an awakened person. He immediately realized something was wrong, sat up straight, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Cao, what happened? What did Huang Ama say?"

"Brother, Mr. Cao is leaving, take care, brother." Cao Xiandong sighed and said slowly.

Hongli asked Cao Xiandong a lot with doubts on his face for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go? Why did Mr. Cao say that? Could it be that there is something that Ben Baylor can't do, but please specify, sir, I can't change it." ?"

"Oh, it's not that someone Cao wants to leave, it's just..." Cao Xiandong said with a wry smile, "It's just the holy will, and someone Cao can't do anything about it."

"Huang Ama? How could his old man..." Hongli suddenly got up in shock, his face flushed red, his eyes were red and he said: "No, I want to see you immediately, and beg Huang Ama to take back her life! "

"Brother, don't act recklessly! You are asking for trouble for yourself." Cao Xiandong was in a hurry, grabbed Hongli, and said with tears in his eyes: "Cao is a good scholar, thanks to you Elder Brother has blue eyes, and originally hoped to help Elder Brother to achieve a career, but God failed to fulfill his wishes, Cao can only feel ashamed of Elder Brother, Cao has only God to show his love and heart."

"Sir, I..." Hongli looked at Cao Xiandong's uncomfortable face, and couldn't help being discouraged. He sat down on the chair and said with a mournful face: "Sir, what's going on? Why did Huang Ama treat you like this?" I?"

"Oh, my Majesty, this is a strategy to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, because I don't want to see the elder brother getting deeper and deeper." Cao Xiandong said with a complicated expression.

Hongli's handsome face was full of doubts and asked: "Draw the bottom of the pot? How do you say this?"

Cao Xiandong's face darkened, and he said slowly: "Today, the Holy Majesty summoned someone Cao just for one thing - to make someone Cao participate in erudition and Confucianism."

"Learned about Confucianism? This..." Hongli murmured as if he had some understanding in his heart.

"Yes, it's the erudite Confucianist." Cao Xiandong glanced at Hongli and said: "If this is not bad, Xiao Yao in the second master's mansion must have the same fate as Cao, hey, he can't escape The scheming of the Holy Majesty, even if the foundation of scheming, is definitely not surpassed by the emperors of the past and present."

"Xiao Yao? So, Huang Ama is not biased?" After hearing Cao Xiandong's analysis, Hongli immediately lifted his spirits, and said with a smile: "That's fine, Mr. Cao is a great talent. Going out and entering the court is an ordinary thing, but if you can enter the court, it will be a happy thing, and I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

Cao Xiandong smiled wryly and shook his head and said: "Brother is mistaken, neither Cao nor Xiao Yao has the possibility of joining the cabinet. Although I don't know what the Holy Will intends, but one thing is certain, that is Your Majesty will never let Cao and Xiao Yao have any possibility of intervening in the struggle for succession."

"This..." Hongli was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Brother Cao, it's time for Mr. Cao to leave. Before leaving, I have a few words to say in my heart. Please listen carefully to my brother." Cao Xiandong's face was already ashamed, and he pulled himself together and said: " Big brother, the holy will has been decided, big brother's hope is slim, I hope big brother will take good care of himself, and never act against the sky, otherwise he may be killed, and that share of official files must never be used again, fourth master There must also be disconnected, if this is the case, the safety of the elder brother can be guaranteed."

Hongli's face was constantly changing from red to blue, and after a long time, he stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ben Baylor must keep his words in mind. Go ahead, sir."

Although Hongli said that he remembered it, but his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. Naturally, this point cannot be hidden from Cao Xiandong, but Cao Xiandong didn't want to say anything more, so he let out a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter. Well, everyone has their own destiny, since the elder brother has made up his mind, it is not easy for someone Cao to say anything, if, um, if there is any disharmony in the future, the elder brother must not resist, go find One person, that person may save the eldest brother's life." Cao Xiandong dipped his hand into some tea, and quickly wrote a name on the table.

"It's him, then I..." Hongli glanced at the names on the table and was overjoyed. He quickly raised his head and looked expectantly at Cao Xiandong.

"No, this is Big Brother's last life-saving talisman. If you use it too early, it will not only be ineffective, but it will be a bad thing." Cao Xiandong interrupted Hongli's words with a raised hand, and hurriedly said: "This is what Cao said. It's time to go, elder brother take care." As soon as the voice fell, he took out a small package from under the table, carried it behind his back, let out a long laugh, and strode out of the study room without looking back.Hongli looked at the back of Cao Xiandong's leaving, his face fluctuated, he sometimes gritted his teeth, and sometimes smiled, but at the end he still didn't say anything, just sat down on the chair and fell into deep thought...

In Lingering Garden, as soon as the newly married Hongyang returned to the mansion, he didn't care to go back to the inner courtyard to show concern for his newlywed wife, so he hurriedly walked towards the East Wing Courtyard where Xiao Yao lived, but stopped when he reached the gate of the courtyard. , stood in a daze at the door, feeling complicated and incomprehensible—this morning, Hongyang had already obtained the oracle, asking Xiao Yao to participate in the erudition and Confucianism, but the reluctant Hongyang delayed returning home until evening in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry , disregarding that he was going on a business trip tomorrow, he just didn't want to let Xiao Yao leave.

But no matter how reluctant Hongyang was, he had to face what he had to face. Looking at the half-hidden door in the yard, Hongyang shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and finally walked into the yard. He stretched out his hand and gently opened the door, only to see Xiao Yao holding the jade flute in his hand, sitting on the couch in a daze, completely unaware of Hongyang's arrival.

"Mr. Xiao, but are you thinking about Eldest Sister again?" Hongyang joked with a smile.

Xiao Yaojun blushed, got up hurriedly and said: "Oh, it's the second master who is here, sit, sit, sit."

"Hehe, congratulations Mr. Xiao, you will see the eldest sister soon." Looking at Xiao Yao's emaciated appearance, Hongyang softened his heart and said in a warm voice.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment and said: "Huh? This..., why did the second master say such a thing?"

"Huang Ama has issued an edict to let Mr. Xiao participate in the Confucianism of Bo Xue Hong, and he will stay in the Bo Hong Academy to study for the exam within today." Hongyang smiled and recounted the imperial edict.

"Ah." Xiao Yao's face turned red immediately, he got up and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, then stopped his feet suddenly, and said with eyes full of excitement: "Second Lord is overjoyed! Hehe , the Holy Will has been decided, and the second master is the only candidate that the Holy Majesty likes, that's great! That's great!"

"Huh?" Hongyang didn't expect that Xiao Yao's topic was originally a topic, but it became his own happy event when it came to Xiao Yao's mouth. He was stunned, looked at Xiao Yao with a puzzled face and said: "Sir, Don’t you think you’re overjoyed, what does this have to do with Ben Baylor?”

Xiao Yao said excitedly: "Hehe, Your Majesty, this is a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. If Mr. Xiao's predictions are not bad, the Mr. Cao from the elder brother's house must also be in this subject. My Majesty does not want to see my brothers." There is a fight, this plan is very good, and the plan is not only that, but it has nothing to do with the second master. The second master only needs to follow the emperor's will to do business well, and the successor is in the second master's pocket thing!"

Hongyang was already smart, and after thinking about it for a while, he had grasped some fundamentals, but he still couldn't believe it, and said suspiciously: "Huang Ama did this because he didn't want to see us brothers fight each other, maybe there is no other meaning? "

Xiao Yao waved his hand, and said confidently: "Today's cause bears tomorrow's fruit. If the Holy One hadn't already chosen the candidate, how could he not let the elder brothers compete for the top? There is no doubt about this! After a certain day, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the second master anymore, I hope the second master will take good care of himself." Hongyangnian said again, but a firm light flashed in his eyes...
