Chapter 1094: Success in the East and Success in the West (Eighty-Seven)

As the head of the highest intelligence agency in the Han Kingdom, the relationship between Cao Tianci and Gao Yuan can be said to be the closest. The two are not only monarchs and ministers, but also masters and disciples. It can be said that Cao Tianci is the person Gao Yuan trusts the most. From the Fufeng Army When it was first established, Cao Tianci was responsible for the most secretive part of Gao Yuan's work.

Cao Tianci suddenly knelt down to plead guilty, and Jiang Jiaquan also heard a little about it. As the top person in charge of the political affairs hall, Jiang Jiaquan, who was familiar with politics, was of course quite aware of the major factions within the Han Kingdom. However, like Gao Yuan, he did not It doesn't change that this is a bad thing.

However, he did not intend to get involved in Cao Tianci's affairs. He knew that the King of Han was capable of handling this emergency.

He Weiyuan brought Cao Tianci into the garden and then silently stepped away. Cao Tianci looked up at Lingxiao Pavilion, which was a little further away. Through the screen window of the pavilion, one could vaguely see the distant shadow of King Han. He sighed silently, bent his legs, and knelt under the scorching sun. There were many big trees in the back garden, and there were many shady places, but he still chose Kneel down under the scorching sun.

Time passed little by little, and sweat dropped from his head to the ground in front of him, disappearing without a trace in an instant. Even with Cao Tianci's physique, he could not help but feel a little dizzy at this time, but Ling There was still no movement in Xiao Pavilion. Gao Yuan was still sitting steadily, looking at a file in his hand.

Ye Jing'er walked into Lingxiao Pavilion with a bowl of soup. She looked out through the sand window and said with some worry: "Brother, how long do you want Tianci to kneel down? It's almost an hour. How can you stand this weather?"

"Let him kneel for a while longer!" Gao Yuan snorted coldly, "His brain has too much water, so he will be taken advantage of. Let him sweat more and drain all the water from his brain. "

"Don't kneel down and do anything good. If you don't feel sorry for me, I still feel sorry for you!" Ye Jing'er put the soup drink on the table, turned to her son Zhiyuan who was drawing red in the corner of the room and said: "Zhiyuan, go and get it." Pull your god-given brother in."

Four-year-old Gao Zhiyuan had been tracing characters for an hour, and his wrists were already sore and weak. However, Gao Yuan did not say a word. He could only grit his teeth and persist. When he heard his mother's words, he couldn't help but smile, put down his pen, and let out a cry of joy. "I know!" He ran out in a flash.

"You kill two birds with one stone, Zhiyuan is really eager for you to say this!" Gao Yuan put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.

"Same for you, Zhiyuan is only a little older, just stop it in moderation."

"Since ancient times, loving mothers often lose their sons!" Gao Yuan teased, "Don't you think Zhiyuan's temperament is a bit out of line? You are used to it. He will inherit the Han Kingdom in the future, so naturally he has to hone his temperament from an early age. "

Ye Jing'er shook her head and said nothing. Of course she agreed with the training of Zhiyuan, but as the mother of a child, how could she not feel distressed?

Gao Zhiyuan trotted down the Lingxiao Pavilion and went straight to Cao Tianci. A pair of small hands held Cao Tianci's arms: "Brother Tianci, it's so hot outside, let's go in!"

Cao Tianci raised his head and glanced at Lingxiao Pavilion. The figure who had been sitting by the window had disappeared. Looking at Zhiyuan, he smiled and stood up. His knees softened, but he almost fell to the ground. Zhiyuan quickly supported Cao Tianci, "Brother Tianci, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little numb!" Cao Tianci smiled, bent down, and hugged Gao Zhiyuan. "Here, brother, hug you."

"Brother Tianci, last time you said you would find me a good knife but you haven't fulfilled it yet?" Gao Zhiyuan, who was held in Cao Tianci's arms, whispered.

"I found the knife, but my wife said I can't give it to you now, and I have to wait until you grow up."

"Brother Tianci, is that knife really the best?"

"Of course, iron is as sharp as clay! This was made by your Tianci brother during his last business trip to Jishi City, where he watched their best craftsmen make it in the workshop."

"That's great. I just don't know when my mother will ask you to give it to me. By the way, brother Tianci, my father is very angry. He hasn't spoken to me today, and he doesn't come to see me write. His face is like the bottom of a pot. Yes, just now my mother persuaded my father to come, and my father also said that the water in your brain should be cleaned. Brother Tianci, is there a lot of water in your head?"

Listening to this cowardly question, Cao Tianci couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, my brother had a lot of water in his head. That's why he was punished by master to kneel down. Now that the water is clear, my brother's brain is clear."

After entering Lingxiao Pavilion and putting Gao Zhiyuan down, Cao Tianci lowered his hands and walked in front of Gao Yuan. Ye Jing'er on the side looked at Cao Tianci who was sweating profusely and couldn't help but said to Gao Yuan distressedly: "Look at it , even if Tianci made some mistake, you can just give him a warning, look at him now, his face is yellow. Tianci, drink this bowl of soup and replenish your water!"

Ye Jing'er picked up the bowl and gave the soup directly to Cao Tianci.

After taking the bowl, Cao Tianci handed the soup to Gao Yuan with both hands: "Master."

"You can drink it if your wife tells you to drink it. Why are you so hesitant?" Gao Yuan glared and scolded.

Cao Tianci shuddered at Gao Yuan's glare, but his heart suddenly relaxed. Although the king's tone was still harsh, he still treated him as a member of the family.

"Thank you, Master!" He raised his neck and drank a bowl of ice-cold soup.

"Brother Tianci, sit down. I've been kneeling for so long today, and my legs must be numb. I was punished by my mother to kneel down before, and my legs were numb after kneeling for a short while!" Gao Zhiyuan dragged a brocade stool behind Cao Tianci. , raised his head and said.

Seeing this scene, Gao Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "You are really good. Not only does Jing'er protect you, but this little guy actually knows that he feels sorry for you. Sit down, sit down and tell me honestly." "

Cao Tianci sat down with a face full of shame, straightened out his thoughts, and began to confess to Gao Yuan the causes and consequences of this incident.

Half an hour later, Gao Yuan's face was much more solemn than before, "So, your father, Wu Kai, Sun Xiao, the infantry, Yan Haibo, they all know about this, right?"

Cao Tianci nodded and said: "No, my father didn't know, and the others, except for the infantry, did not directly express their position. Everyone else told the king that he was really not interested in the Fufeng people. The Fufeng people were the king's old subordinates when he started his career. , but now, the people who control the core power of the Han Dynasty are outsiders. So after Zheng Xiaoyang made this move, everyone wanted to see the king's attitude."

Gao Yuan sneered: "It's amazing, it's amazing, we actually came up with this trick. We have been fighting since we started the army, and we have gone through so many life and death hardships. We can unite and face the outside world in such difficult times. Now we are all prosperous and wealthy, and we hold great power." Instead, they have become dissatisfied, and they have forgotten the time when we didn’t even have enough to eat.”

"Master!" Gao Yuan's tone was more serious than ever before, "They don't want to do anything, they just want to get more attention and make more contributions to the king and the Han Dynasty."

Gao Yuan remained silent, walked a few steps in the room, looked at Cao Tianci, and said, "Do you know why you were wrong?"

"I know that Tianci controls the Overwatch Council on behalf of the King. It should be the King's eyes and ears, showing all the secrets in front of the master immediately for the master to make a judgment. But this time, because of me, the master You haven't received any news in this regard, and God's crime deserves death." Cao Tianci lowered his head and said.

"Do you know why they want to use you as a test?" Gao Yuan said coldly: "It's very simple. First, because you are my apprentice and the person I trust most. Second, your father controls my big man. Business is one of the lifebloods of my Han Dynasty, and your brother-in-law Sun Xiao is the guardian of the Eastern Governor of my Han Dynasty. Even if I get angry because of this, I will still use force to avoid them. I can’t do anything to them. It’s a good idea to deal with them. "

"Master!" Cao Tianci slipped off the stool, "I know I was wrong."

"Tianci, you are the president of the Overwatch Council and the person I trust most. Any official in our Han Kingdom can form a clique. This is inevitable. Comrades and fellow villagers, these things will be given to them. Drawn into invisible circles, but you should not be one of them. You can only have one faction, and that is me. If you can't do this, then you, the censorship dean, will die. Already."

"Disciple realizes his mistake!"

"Okay, brother, it's good that Tianci knows he's wrong. He's only in his early twenties today. He doesn't have much experience in political struggles. He may look cold, but in his heart he values ​​family ties and nostalgia very much. It's understandable that he'll be taken advantage of." Ye Jing'er persuaded.

"He is the director of the Supervision Bureau. If he is used as a tool for political struggle again and again, then it's okay. He will learn a lesson and gain wisdom. I hope this lesson will help you learn a lot and understand the struggle. Not only between us and our enemies, but also between Qin and Chu, sometimes the internal struggles are even more troublesome."

"Disciple understands."

"It is imperative that the Military Justice Department be separated from the Supervisory Yuan. If you made a mistake this time, you will naturally be punished. Just shut yourself up and think about it for three months. The affairs of the Supervisory Yuan will be left to Ning Xin for the time being." Gao Yuan said.

Cao Tianci swallowed hard, "Disciple understands."

"Huh, judging from your appearance, you are still a little reluctant!"

"No, I know my mistake, I will accept my punishment!" Cao Tianci dared to say.

"I asked you to shut yourself up and think about it for three months, but I didn't ask you to just lie in the house, sleep and eat every day. During these three months, you have more important things to do. I need someone with enough weight to go to Qin State. Where to meet an important person? And you just took this opportunity to leave Jicheng secretly to complete this matter." Gao Yuan said.

"Going to Qin?" Cao Tianci's eyes suddenly became excited.

"This time I'm not asking you to cause destruction, but to meet someone." Looking at Cao Tianci's appearance, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel angry and funny. Just now, he looked like he was mourning for his concubine, but in the blink of an eye, he felt like he had smelled something. The bloody beasts are eager to choose people and devour them.

Cao Tianci left Lingxiao Pavilion, and Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan with some worry: "Brother, most of the people from Fufeng have participated this time, what should we do? If nothing else, Lord Wu alone will not Easy to handle!”

"No need to do it!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "This time Tianci has been punished so severely, I believe they will be honest for a while. As for Mr. Wu Kaiwu, I will talk to him alone." (To be continued... )
