But he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only look at Emperor Yunwu with hesitation.
Emperor Yunwu waved his hand and asked him to go down and prepare an appointment book first.
There are also many Jinshi who have not yet been assigned official positions. Liu Jiaxiu needs to go to himself to investigate who of these people is suitable for promotion.
Liu Jiaxiu had no choice but to leave the palace to study.
He was isolated by many officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he was too busy to touch the ground. The so-called isolation completely lost its effect.
There were quite a few officials who were waiting and watching.
Take the initiative to find Liu Jiaxiu and surrender.
Liu Jiaxiu used all these people. He knew that these people had a grudge against Cao Guoshi, otherwise he would not have been sitting on the bench for so long.
Weird things in the yamen.
Everyone has known about it for a long time.
Everyone knew that the emperor was fighting Cao Guoshi.
When Cao Guoshi was called to the Qinzheng Hall by Emperor Yunwu.
He was still wondering what the emperor wanted from him.
Emperor Yunwu threw a booklet directly to him.
"These officials must be Cao Aiqing's students." Emperor Yunwu's voice was cold.
Cao Guoshi stepped forward and read the names on the booklet with just the right amount of confusion on his face.
"Your Majesty, these officials are indeed students of my old minister."
"Does Cao Aiqing know that these officials have close contacts with people from Chu?"
Cao Guoshi's pupils widened, "How could it be possible, Your Majesty, these are officials of Dayan. How could they not know that colluding with foreigners is a serious crime."
"It's a pity that they really don't know."
Emperor Yunwu's voice was faint.
"I was shocked when I heard the news." Emperor Yunwu stared at him, "Is it possible that Cao Aiqing also approves of these people's association with the Chu people?"
"Cao Aiqing, although I have different political opinions from you, this involves Da Chu."
"Does Cao Aiqing still condone it?"
Emperor Yunwu's words sounded like he was showing weakness.
Cao Guoshi didn't believe it in his heart, "Your Majesty, is there any evidence?"
"Lin'an."
"Yes." Mr. Lin'an immediately showed the evidence to Cao Guoshi.
These evidences are from a very small number of people found by Long Wei.
Most of the spies have destroyed the evidence.
This is naturally the result of Chu Cang.
only.
Although part of it was destroyed, Emperor Yunwu already knew who the other party was, and it was only a matter of time before he figured it out.
Now, we must first weaken Cao Guoshi's influence.
Cao Guoshi read the evidence.
His face turned pale instantly.
He then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, damn me, I didn't notice that these people were affected."
"But the old minister is really puzzled. With the status of these officials, how could they betray Dayan in general."
"Even if he joins Da Chu, he will still have his current official position at most. He will still have to fight with Da Chu's original officials. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense."
Cao Guoshi expressed doubts to exonerate himself.
He had to show himself in front of the emperor that he had nothing to do with it.
In fact, he did want to be the chief assistant, but he had no intention of betraying Dayan.
"I have arranged for you to ask Cao Aiqing."
"I just don't know if Cao Aiqing is willing to cooperate."
This is the purpose why Emperor Yunwu called him here today.
Cao Guoshi suddenly came to his senses and understood the emperor's intention.
His mind turned and he said, "Your Majesty, there are still two days until the official examination is over."
"I can't leave the palace either. What's more, because this thing was done by my students, I should avoid suspicion."
Emperor Yunwu was a little disappointed with Cao Guoshi.
"Cao Aiqing, what do you mean, this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to have anything to do with this matter. Please forgive me for my cowardice."
"Okay, I will do as you wish."
Emperor Yunwu looked at him deeply.
Let Cao Guoshi go down.
Before Cao Guoshi left, he felt a little uneasy for some reason.
His uneasiness was fulfilled on the third day, when the official examination ended.
Cao Guoshi left the palace early in the morning and hurried back to his home.
As soon as he returned to his house, he subconsciously said, "Has today's official report arrived?"
"Sir, we're here."
There are a lot of official newspapers, and now even the ladies in the backyard like to read official newspapers to relieve their boredom.
Therefore, official newspapers are easy to sell.
Cao Guoshi returned to the inner room and ordered his servants to prepare hot water for him to take a bath while reading the official newspaper in his hand.
He saw today's news in the official newspaper at a glance.
'shock! Within one night, dozens of officials died suddenly. '
His brows jumped. This kind of news, let alone him, attracted the attention of the entire capital.
This kind of case is extremely rare.
Cao Guoshi looked down quickly. There was a lot of content below and the font was small. It took him a quarter of an hour to read it.
After reading.
Cao Guoshi's face turned pale.
The emperor actually accused these officials of being Da Chu's spies.
Not only that.
The newspaper also said that these officials were assassinated by people from Dachu after their identities were exposed.
That's all.
In addition to treason, these officials were also charged with other crimes, and even interviews with local people were written on them.
Cao Guoshi felt that Emperor Yunwu was provoking Dachu, in case Dachu really sent troops.
Isn't it going to be a war? If the war breaks out, Dayan may not be able to defeat Chu.
After all, there are still many natural disasters in Dayan.
In addition, what concerned him most was that the newspaper directly mentioned that these people were his students.
This made Cao Guoshi's face dark.
The emperor even directly announced what he had answered in the Qinzheng Hall the day before yesterday.
Any official who has read the newspaper will know that he, Cao Guoshi, gave up on his students.
Cao Guoshi broke his teeth.
He didn't bother to wash up, so he hurried to the study and wrote a letter to calm down the officials below.
He's also not worried that these officials won't listen.
After all, they all bear some crimes to some extent.
No one who has tasted the benefits can go back to the poor days before. For the sake of a better life, these officials will definitely not give in and will definitely follow him to deal with the emperor.
Cao Guoshi discovered it keenly.
Today’s news is not about Dachu.
Instead, it was to weaken his influence.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this keenness that Cao Guoshi developed so smoothly in the court.
When writing a good letter to the official below.
Cao Guoshi's attention fell on the second prince Yun Chen.
That day, after washing up, I quietly went to Chongshan Temple.
The capital is very lively today.
Regarding Da Chu’s spies.
Everyone was shocked.
Because there is evidence in the official report.
No one doubts the authenticity.
The people did not panic, because the newspaper finally wrote that Da Yan was not afraid of Da Chu and had a large army in the court.
If Da Chu provokes you, then let your horse come over.
"The content in this official report is the emperor's intention, right?" Some people whispered.
"That must be true. Although we are ordinary people, we should also know that the greatest official in Dayan is still the emperor."
"But is our Dayan army that powerful?"
"I don't know, but this newspaper said that a military parade will be held in the capital in one month."
