Cao An didn't dare to speak carelessly.
He thought about it in his mind and finally raised his head after a while.
"Go back to the Queen Mother, there may be something fishy about this matter!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Cao An.
Liu E had a smile in her eyes and nodded: "Tell me and listen."
Cao An frowned slightly and said seriously: "Judging from the tax revenue from various places in our country, Jingzhao Mansion is supposed to be able to provide disaster relief. Besides..."
Having said this, he hesitated again, curled his neck and looked around.
Liu E was amused by his appearance and waved her hand generously: "Everyone in the court should express his or her own opinions. Only in this way can everyone learn from their strengths... Just say so!"
"Yes, thank you Queen Mother for your forgiveness!"
Cao An cupped his hands and curled his lips and said, "As long as the governor of Jingzhao is not a fool, he will never dare to allow refugees to flow into Tokyo City."
"...cough, cough."
Liu E was stunned and coughed twice.
Several prime ministers were also a little embarrassed and shook their heads in confusion.
What, wrong?
Seeing everyone's appearance, Cao An felt a little confused for a moment.
He hurriedly bowed again and said: "... Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking nonsense."
"...Ahem, go on."
Liu E shook her head, smiled, and waved her hand.
"It's a big crime to let disaster victims flee privately! If there is a riot, it will be a big crime for the governor of Jingzhao. Let alone the black gauze hat can't be saved, and..."
Cao An looked at Liu E again and said quietly: "Even the Shangguan who recommended him as the official can't run away."
puff!
Sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile.
The young man couldn't hide his emotions. When he saw that he was losing his composure, he tried to keep a straight face. How could he be so unbearable?
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Lu Yijian coughed violently, as if he was choking on something.
"Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you?"
Cao An hurriedly expressed concern: "Although it's warm today, it's still cold at night. You're facing the middle of your humerus... pay attention to your health!"
"Ha ha!"
Now Zhang Zhibai and Wang Zeng couldn't help it anymore.
The two old men turned their heads away, laughing so hard that their shoulders were shaking. It was difficult to bear it...
Cao An became increasingly confused and could only blink and look around.
Is it that funny?
What are you laughing at?
Liu E also couldn't hold back her lips, so she could only say as authoritatively as possible: "It was Prime Minister Lu who recommended Ma Xun in the first place... But I believe in Prime Minister Lu's character, and this matter has absolutely nothing to do with him."
This matter definitely has nothing to do with Lao Lu.
Can……
Cao Anling stayed where he was.
I didn't mean it!
Who would have thought that Ma Xun, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, was promoted by you, Lu Yijian. This can only be said to be a coincidence.
He hurriedly bowed to Lu Yijian and said with a stern face: "Excuse me, Mr. Lu, it's true that I'm just saying what I'm saying..."
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Zhibai couldn't help but laugh again, and he didn't forget to tease: "You go on to say that Prime Minister Lu is not so narrow-minded."
"snort!"
Lu Yijian's face turned green and red, and she could only snort to cover up her embarrassment.
Cao An was also a little embarrassed, so he had to get to the point quickly: "Since it's not the fault of Jingzhao Mansion, then the origin of these refugees needs to be discussed! Wei Chen thought... there must be someone behind this!"
Hearing this, the prime ministers and assistants frowned at the same time.
In the past, when people discussed government affairs, their language was mostly euphemistic.
Even if there is any conspiracy involved, it will be packaged before speaking.
But this kid...
Liu E smiled in her heart: Although this man was born into a powerful family, he had been in the market for a long time, so he had inevitably acquired some common people's habits, and even his words were straightforward.
But the more this style is, the more real it feels.
Liu E felt that the young man in front of her reminded her of the days before entering the palace.
Who was not a common man before and now?
Thinking of this, she spoke more casually: "Then who do you think is behind this?"
"Wei Chen doesn't know this..."
Cao An frowned and thought for a while, then reluctantly handed over his hand.
Liu E was not angry, but smiled and said: "You can say so much, you must have worked hard... You have to encourage me, you know?"
"yes!"
Cao An breathed a sigh of relief.
The first level has been passed!
Then, Liu E said slowly: "Just before everyone enters the palace, the memorial from Jingzhao Mansion has arrived... Come here, show it to the prime ministers and ministers for reading."
It is said that when local memorials enter the capital, they should enter the political hall first.
After being reviewed by the prime ministers and assistants of the three provinces, it was then presented to the emperor for review.
But today's memorial was sent directly to the center. It seemed that Ma Xun was really anxious, otherwise he wouldn't be so unruly.
Cao An didn't move.
He knew that it was not his turn to read this memorial.
Then, he glanced at the little emperor Zhao Zhen...
Judging from Zhao Zhen's "eager" look, he must have never read this memorial.
Brothers in distress!
Liu E looked at the angry son beside him and ignored him, and continued: "Ma Xun said that horse bandits were raging in Jingzhao Mansion, and many people were instigated by traitors, so they flocked to Bianliang..."
The faces of the prime ministers and assistants were as usual, obviously they did not believe this rhetoric.
Are there horse bandits in the Song Dynasty?
Who knows that what the Song Dynasty lacks most is horses, especially good horses that are durable and durable!
If there really is such a horse bandit.
Even if they were magic soldiers and generals, the imperial court would still send troops to annihilate them.
Are you kidding...
If the army is not equipped with enough war horses, do a group of horse bandits still want to become a master?
"I'm afraid this is going to be troublesome!"
Zhang Zhibai left work, with a cold look on his wrinkled face: "These people are probably sent by the Xixia people. Their purpose is temporarily unknown... but it is definitely not a good thing!"
In the first year of Chunhua, Emperor Taizu conquered the five continents!
Li Jiqian left to start a business.
In order to disgust the Song Dynasty, the Liao people recognized the independent political power of the Dangxiang Department and made Li Jiqian the king of Xixia...
At this point, Lao Li’s family officially debuts!
And in the following decades, they successively occupied the Hexi Corridor, Yinzhou, Suzhou and other places, and together with dozens of local tribes, they were collectively called Xixia!
"Xixia..."
Cao An murmured subconsciously.
Zhao Zhen interrupted and asked, "Why, is Cao Qing familiar with Xixia?"
"It's not too familiar."
Cao An said half-jokingly: "But when Wei Chen was young, he often heard Weng Weng talk about the past, and one of them mentioned Xixia..."
As he spoke, his eyes showed a bit of reminiscence.
The young man's figure is not strong, but he stands upright, and his eyes still show a strong feeling of missing his family.
Liu E sighed in her heart.
If Lao Cao hadn't pushed her too hard in the first place, why would she be like this?
But something happened, and it’s useless to say anything else...
Even if she were asked to choose again now, it would still be the same!
The prime ministers and assistants were also looking at him, each with different expressions.
There is no doubt about Cao's ability. What will he tell his grandson?
Is it the way to be an official, or is it good advice to govern the world?
However, based on Cao An's speculation at the beginning, Cao An's grandson is by no means a fool. He is talented, has means, and is more resourceful!
