Chapter 213 Old Cao, You Are Cruel

Chapter 214 Old Cao, You Are Cruel

Now that he already knew that the court wanted to stop the construction of Luoyang, Cao Chong probably already guessed why the court was chasing after such a trivial matter today, looking for an excuse!
How could Cao Chong back down?

Rebuilding Luoyang is not simply building a city, it will be the base camp in the future!
Are you looking for an excuse to stop building?Think beautifully!

After hearing Cao Chong's explanation, everyone sighed for a while: Is there such a thing?Pretending to be a civilian husband, what is this picture about?

"Your Majesty! Although this matter is strange, everything I said is true. I have captured two groups of thieves alive, their identities have been identified, and they are still detained in Luoyang."

Cao Chong tells this matter to death first, let's see what excuses you have.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a strange thing, it seems to be..."

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhen's slander for my humble minister without reason..."

Cao Chong interrupted the minister who came forward to speak, trying to fool him? I miss you too much!
"Unknown to the facts, Liu Zhen arbitrarily judged that Cao Aiqing had lied and was out of character as a courtier. He was fined three months and apologized to Cao Aiqing in court!"

When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty spoke, Liu Zhen apologized to Cao Chong with a dark face, and the matter was over!
Cao Chong didn't pursue it any further, he was waiting to watch the show!
The system said that the imperial court was planning to stop the construction of Luoyang, how could these people have no backup?
"Although it is not true that the civilians at the construction site in Luoyang rioted and fled, it is true that the people in the northern states and counties gathered to riot and loot. In Hejian, Tian Yin and Su Bo rebelled, and several counties were attacked..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!! The people of the world have been burdened with heavy taxes and labor for a long time, and they are already overwhelmed..."

"Your Majesty! The population of counties and counties in the world has not increased for several years, and there is a downward trend..."

As if nothing had happened, the ministers continued the previous rhythm and kept telling Han Xiandi about the sufferings of the people.

If Cao Chong hadn't discovered that these people were noble families with thousands of hectares of fertile land, he would have really thought that they were model bureaucrats who were dedicated to the people!

"Your Majesty, the people need to rest and recuperate, and it is not easy to carry out large-scale construction projects. Now Tongque Terrace in Yecheng and Luoyang New City are huge projects..."

Look, it's here again, isn't it!
"Your Majesty! The Tongque Terrace in Yecheng is nearly completed, but the construction of Luoyang has not yet started, and the cost of building a new Luoyang is huge, which is far from comparable to that of Yecheng..."

Wait a minute?What do you mean it hasn't started yet?Master has been busy for half a year!Countless money has been poured into it!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please stop repairing Luoyang City!"

"Your Majesty! Please cherish the power of the people!"

"Your Majesty! The people are suffering, so don't make any big constructions!"

…………

A large area of ​​the main hall knelt down!They all requested to stop the construction of Luoyang.

You are so neat!

After these people came up with the reason of "cherish the people's power, don't do large-scale construction", Cao Chong really had a hard time coping. After all, it is still in troubled times, and it is really not a good time for large-scale construction.

Cao Chong was thinking how to deal with it!Suddenly found that Cao Pi looked at him thoughtfully.

Cao Chong glared at him, did you provoke him?
"Your Majesty! The minister has a statement!"

Seeing that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was about to speak, Cao Chong was about to step forward, but was preempted.

"Hey, this voice is a bit familiar! Wei Ke is here too!"

"Wei Aiqing, when will the performance begin?"

The official position of Lieutenant Sili was in great power before the troubled times, and he was more powerful than the Sangong. Although the real power is gone now, the official rank is still there!

"Your Majesty, what the ministers said about the people gathering and rioting all over the place is not true, at least not within the jurisdiction of the Sili Xiaowei Department."

As soon as he heard this, he knew that Wei Ji was definitely Lao Cao's hard-core confidant. The one who offended by this remark was not the civil servants in the court, but the gentry behind them.

Cao Chong knew that Wei Ji didn't want to help him, but he was still very grateful.

Wei Ke's words really made everyone angry.

"Wei Ji, how dare you say that apart from the rebellion of Tian Yin and Su Bo in Hejian, the mass riots of the people are the most serious in your Hongnong County! Yiyang rioters broke through the county government and killed the county magistrate, which is tantamount to rebellion. thing?"

Someone will fight back immediately!
"That's right, it is said that the mob hasn't been arrested yet!"

"Is Henan Yin under your jurisdiction doing well? I heard that the mob almost broke through Ao Cang!"

Everyone began to criticize Wei Ke.

Cao Chong suddenly found that the figure behind Wei Ke was also somewhat familiar, wasn't that Henan Yin Guohe!

There are a lot of people here!It seems that Lao Cao is very well prepared.

There were too many people in the half-monthly grand meeting, and the hall was full. Cao Chong stood at the end again, his eyes were all over his back, and he didn't notice that Wei Ji and Guo He were there at first.

It's not the time to report on work at the end of the year. Is it really good for the two of you to leave the station like this and come here?

"Your Majesty, it is true that people in Yiyang attacked the county government and killed the county magistrate, but it has nothing to do with taxation and corvee, oh no, it has something to do with corvee, but the actual reason is that the local tyrants robbed the people's land, and the magistrate of Yiyang helped the evildoers."

"Hmph! Forced sophistry, I know Yiyang, and the annual evaluation is also top-notch, is it what you said? Now that the person has been killed, you still slander his official voice!"

"Yiyang county magistrate Yang Chang connived at the tyrant Yang Jian and forcibly robbed the people's cultivated land in Baima Pavilion and Xiangshui Pavilion. The witnesses and physical evidence are all available. The file is outside the palace gate. Do you want to see it?"

No one said anything, Wei Ke did a great job!
"Your Majesty, the minister Henan Yin Guo He also wants to join in!" Seeing that someone was about to speak again, Guo He took the first step.

"Guo Aiqing, please tell me something!" Han Xiandi was very helpless!
"The mobs in Yinjuan County and Guancheng County, Henan Province robbed the government's granary. It was the bandits who drove the refugees to do it. It's not that the local people were desperate..."

With these two words of dredging from the bottom, this wave of falsification and lying about looting by mobs in various places can be turned around, but Lao Cao has more ruthless ones!
"Your Majesty! I apologize!" Lao Cao suddenly bowed to Emperor Han Xian.

"What is the prime minister's crime?"

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty felt itchy with hatred in his heart. You have committed too many crimes and should have beheaded long ago. Why don't you die.

"I have committed the crime of negligence. As the prime minister, I am so negligent in the administration of local officials, so that the county magistrates colluded with the powerful to harm the people, and the bandits drove the refugees to rob the government. I feel extremely guilty!"

Lao Cao's sincere appearance made Han Xiandi a little scared.

"The prime minister is busy with military affairs, some negligence is inevitable!"

Emperor Xian of the Han roared in his heart: If you know you are wrong, you should resign and get out!Feel ashamed why don't you commit suicide in shame!
"Your Majesty, I know my mistakes, and I will try my best to make up for it." Lao Cao bowed to Han Xiandi again.

"Your Majesty, I have received the documents of mob riots reported by the local governments. There are precedents in Hongnong County and Henan Yin. I estimate that similar situations have occurred in other places, so I ask you to send the inspector to inspect the local counties and counties! "

Lao Cao, you are ruthless enough, is this a targeted anti-corruption campaign?
