Chapter 97: Cao Shuang, who puzzled the officials!
He Yan's face turned red due to the alcohol, and he thought for a moment and said: "Ding Yanjing, you expect me too much. Even if I have offended you a lot in the past,
You won't slander and humiliate me in front of so many courtiers at tonight's Zhaobo dinner party. Even if you don't want to give face to me, the official minister, you should give face to Zhaobo, the host of tonight's dinner party.
,
If anyone dares to stir up disputes again and again at Uncle Zhao’s dinner party, then he is being disrespectful to Uncle Zhao and dissatisfied with him being the prime minister!”
After being forced by Ding Mi many times, He Yan finally used his talkative ability as one of the founders of top-notch metaphysics in the crisis, and vigorously fought against Ding Mi, and began to sophistry.
For fear of letting the courtiers present know that he did not argue because of a guilty conscience, he had indeed done all the things Ding Mi said and did not dare to argue with Ding Mi.
The courtiers present, whether they are those who have been flattering and clinging to him before, or those who have offended him before, the noble families he has offended, or the deposed courtiers will all make trouble for him.
Especially people like Huangmen Shilang Fu Gu, once they get the chance, they will prick him, the real tiger, now the paper tiger, and let him fall into the abyss and never be able to stand up again.
After all, except for Cao Zhaobo, the current Wei Dynasty may be willing to save his life. Most of the other courtiers will just add insult to injury to him without mercy.
They will even take a piece of his pie, divide everything he has into pieces, and chew him up to the point where no dregs are left.
Just like the property, mansion, and female relatives currently owned by the Sima family, if Cao Zhaobo, the biggest person in power, hadn't taken over all Sima's original things,
I don’t know how many powerful courtiers there will be. The noble family will fight for this little bit of Sima family’s property, which may even cause a major civil strife within the Wei Dynasty.
After all, except for Cao Zhaobo, there are few people in the Wei Dynasty who can subdue the ministers in the court and the generals stationed in various places. Even if Wang Ling and Wang Sikong come,
Even with his military prestige in the Wei Dynasty, he may not be able to subdue all the garrison generals in various places like Cao Shuang. Today, He Yan is in danger of collapse, and only Cao Zhaobo can defend everything against everyone else.
.
If he is the Prime Minister of the Wei Dynasty and his little friend Cao Zhaobo does not help him, even if he temporarily resolves Ding Mi's vicious offensive against him,
That can't be resisted for long. I believe it won't be long before the courtiers will find that they are no longer the popular person and star in front of Cao Shuang.
But it is a powerful minister who has expired. The courtiers and aristocratic families will all come together to tear him into pieces if they have a vengeance or an injustice. Even those who have no vengeance will step on him.
He was definitely destined to die, but his son He Jun was able to survive under the protection of Princess Jinxiang.
But the He family will also decline again. After all, he still understands his own species. In addition to He Jun's proficiency in eating, drinking and having fun,
Like his father, he also takes Five Stone Powder, and he is not as good as his father in these things, and even He Yan is inferior to him in other political matters. After all, He Yan is already considered bad.
But he is not even as good as He Yan. This is all the result of being spoiled by Princess Jinxiang. The current He family is not like him. When he was young, he had a good mother, Mrs. Yin, who was favored by Emperor Wu and married home.
By the way, it is such a good thing to adopt him as an adopted son who is smart. After all, He Jun is far inferior to him now. If the He family loses him,
After He fell down, he could never get up again. Although he could no longer take another step in his official career, he still wanted to do his best to preserve He's existing foundation and his own life.
Ding Mi was not angered by He Yan's words at all. He knew that he did not have as many selfish thoughts as He Yan, and he was loyal to Cao Zhaobo wholeheartedly, so he did not have so many scruples.
He can bite people unscrupulously according to Cao Shuang's instructions, although now Cao Shuang has told him not to bite people at will like a mad dog like before.
He was asked to exercise restraint as much as possible, but Cao Shuang still handed over the school affairs office to him and asked him to continue to work for him. This could be regarded as an explanation to Ding Mi for his loyalty over the years.
Ding Mi just said calmly: "I also don't want to have any more arguments with you, Uncle He Ping, at this dinner party and disturb the elegance of everyone gathering at the Prime Minister's Mansion for a banquet.
Ruhe Shuping is the person who doesn't give the Prime Minister the most respect. He clearly knew that today is such an important day for Zhaobo, but he still recruited a bunch of bad friends to have a banquet in the mansion last night, which made you feel depressed during today's court meeting.
We are also late for the dinner, and we all arrived early to congratulate the general on his promotion. People like you who only care about your own selfish interests will be liquidated sooner or later even if you are not defeated today!"
He Yan said: "Ding Yanjing, you are trying to sow discord between me and Uncle Zhao. I have always been loyal to Uncle Zhao!"
At this time, the ministers and people from the aristocratic families in the hall were a little more doubtful about whether Consort He was still the popular man in front of Cao Shuang than before the dinner.
However, it is not good to go out and confirm this matter now. We have to look for opportunities to find out He Yan's truth in the future. After all, Luoyang City is full of leaks here.
Very few things can be concealed for a long time. After some time, the truth of a matter can be discovered by those who are interested.
Ding Mi turned from anger to joy and said to the ministers present: "Tonight, because of the incident of the prince's consort, I have disturbed the elegance of your banquet. I am here to apologize to you with a glass of fine wine from the prime minister.
I hope you will not take what happened just now to your heart, and eat and drink well in the second half of the dinner!" Ding Mi said and asked the maid to fill a cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Cao Shuang also smiled and said: "Gentlemen, come, let's continue the banquet. It was just a small dinner party, don't worry about it!"
After hearing what Cao Zhaobo said, He Yan couldn't continue to argue, so he had to sit down uneasily and continue to have a banquet with everyone.
Cao Shuang picked up the refilled wine cup, drank a cup with the ministers, and then filled another cup, "Come, Uncle Ping, I'll have a cup with you. Thank you for your support over the years!"
He Yan also forced a smile and raised his wine cup to drink with Cao Zhaobo, "I thank you, Prime Minister, for your cultivation over the years!"
At this time, the officials present were a little confused about Cao Shuang's thoughts. Only the most loyal dog under Cao Zhaobo exposed He Yan's crimes so openly, let alone the truth or falsehood.
A discerning person present would know at a glance that Consort He might no longer be the popular person in front of Cao Zhaobo. As long as he carefully inquires into the truth of this matter in the future,
The past grudges can be put to rest, but now that Cao Zhaobo is here again, it makes people confused about Cao Cheng's attitude towards Xiao He Yan...
