"My husband is truly a talented person."
Guo Zhao's beautiful eyes looked at Yang Ling, full of affection.
Although she had only been in Yang Mansion for a few days, she felt real affection from Yang Ling and was already deeply involved in it.
"The little mouth is so sweet!"
Yang Ling chuckled, pecked Guo Zhao on the lips, then stood up and walked out.
Zhao Yun had been waiting in the lobby for a long time. When he saw Yang Ling coming out, the two of them walked towards the palace together.
Along the way, Yang Ling saw not only Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, but also Han officials such as Yang Biao and Kong Rong.
"Strange, why did the Prime Minister suddenly convene a court meeting?"
"It must be something big, right?"
They were talking quietly, looking a little confused.
Nowadays, all the power of the government is controlled by Cao Cao.
All military and state affairs were usually discussed by Cao Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion with a group of staff.
If there are no major events, court meetings are rarely held.
No wonder the courtiers were confused.
Yang Ling took the lead slightly to Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, intending to say hello, and then entered the palace together.
In the palace, Emperor Liu Xie sat on it.
What Yang Ling didn't expect was that Fu Shou was sitting next to Liu Xie.
The two looked at each other, Fu Shou's pretty face turned red, and he looked away unnaturally.
Liu Xie noticed the expressions of the two and gritted his teeth with hatred.
This couple of dogs!
But he was annoyed and Liu Xie was helpless.
After all, Cao Cao was standing in the hall, accompanied by two powerful generals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and countless elite soldiers guarding the door.
Seeing that all the courtiers had arrived, Cao Cao stood up slowly.
Everyone immediately shut up and the palace became quiet.
"The reason why the court meeting is held today is because a big event happened. Yang Ling, a loyal minister of the imperial court and my son-in-law, was assassinated in the past few days!"
Cao Cao's eyes were like lightning, he looked around at everyone present and said coldly,
There was a commotion among everyone, and they subconsciously looked at Yang Ling.
Yang Biao's heart suddenly suddenly felt, and there was a hint of ominous premonition.
"Xun Lingjun."
Xun Yu, who was called by Cao Cao's name, stepped out from the crowd, cupped his hands and said,
"Please give me your orders, Prime Minister."
"Tell me, what is the crime of assassinating a court minister?"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister is tantamount to conspiracy."
After hearing Xun Yu's answer, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, then his expression changed and he shouted sternly,
"Man Chong, capture Captain Yang!"
When he gave the order, Xu Dulingman Chong did not hesitate immediately. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers outside the door swarmed in.
This sudden move really shocked everyone present.
By the time they came to their senses, Yang Biao had been arrested.
"Lieutenant Yang is a veteran of three dynasties. What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"
Kong Rong, who was the first to speak, stared at Cao Cao angrily.
"Lieutenant Yang is loyal to the court, how can he assassinate Yang Ling?"
"That's right!"
Facing the angry crowd, Cao Cao just sneered and said,
"The School Affairs Office has found out that the mastermind behind the assassination of Mr. Yang Ling is Yang Xiu, the son of Taiwei Yang! He has been arrested and imprisoned. As his father, Taiwei Yang cannot escape the blame!"
Others don't know why Cao Pi was kicked out of Xudu, but Yang Biao and his son know it very well.
However, in the past few days, there had been no movement from Cao Cao, so they felt relieved.
But he never expected that Cao Cao would suddenly attack today.
Last night Yang Xiu didn't return home all night, and Yang Biao thought his son was drinking and having fun with others until dawn as usual.
Unexpectedly, he was captured by Cao Cao and sent to prison!
Yang Biao's expression changed!
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel happy.
The reason why he wants to hold a court meeting today and arrest Yang Biao is very simple, that is, to tell everyone that whoever dares to go against him again will be punished by Yang Biao!
However, before Cao Cao could feel happy for a while, Kong Rong stood up again!
"Even if Yang Xiu did it, Taiwei Yang is loyal to the Han Dynasty and has no grudges against Yang Ling. He has nothing to do with it!"
Hearing this, Liu Xie and Fu Shou in the hall looked awkward for no reason.
"If the Prime Minister intends to punish Taiwei Yang, I will resign immediately!"
When Kong Rong opened his mouth, the rest of the Han ministers also responded one after another.
"I'll resign too!"
"I hope the Prime Minister will think twice!"
Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy.
He did not expect that Kong Rong and others would threaten to dismiss him from office!
Although in Cao Cao's heart, he wished that Kong Rong and the others would get out of here.
But if the court was without them, it would not only be difficult to operate, but Cao Cao would also be infamous for being jealous of his talents.
He took a deep breath and forced a smile,
"Don't be nervous, please go and ask Captain Yang to investigate. If he is really not involved, I won't embarrass him."
Only after being comforted by Cao Cao's kind words did all the Han officials give up.
…
After the court meeting dispersed, Cao Cao led a group of subordinates back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but get angry.
"These Han ministers really don't take me seriously!"
After Cao Cao roared for a while, he calmed down and looked at Man Chong beside him.
"How is the progress on Yang Xiu's side?"
"Reporting to my lord, my subordinates tortured Yang Xiu all night long. However, although this man admitted to instigating Master Zi Huan, he refused to admit that he was related to his father."
Man Chong replied.
"Even if there is no evidence, I will deal with Yang Biao!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly.
"Yang Biao is famous all over the world. If there is no evidence to execute him, I am afraid that my lord will lose the support of the people. I hope my lord will think twice!"
Cao Cao was silent for a long time and sighed,
"knew."
Cao Ang on the side couldn't help but said,
"Although Yang Biao cannot be dealt with, executing his son can be regarded as punishment for him. Why is the father so depressed?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and explained,
"Young master has misunderstood. My lord is not unhappy because of Yang Biao, but because of the courtiers who spoke for Yang Biao today and the nobles behind them."
"What Fengxiao said is absolutely true."
Cao Cao smiled helplessly.
Although he has been re-employing children from poor families and trying to restrict the noble clan through various means.
But unfortunately, the power of the noble clan is too great.
Cao Cao must rely on them for the operation of the court and the Han Dynasty.
Today was just a matter of dealing with Yang Biao, but he was met with such opposition.
Wouldn't it be more troublesome if I had the will to be independent in the future?
When Cao Cao was distressed, Yang Ling, who had been silent since he came to court, suddenly said slowly,
"My lord, my subordinates have a way to completely suppress the nobles."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yang Ling.
Cao Cao was stunned at first, then became ecstatic.
yes.
How could I forget Yang Ling!
"Sir, do you have any good ideas?"
"It's very simple, just replace the current imperial examination system with the imperial examination system!"
Yang Ling smiled.
