When Ah Sheng's ship arrived at Sunken Island, the dynasty of the Central Plains was still sliding towards the abyss at a fixed speed.The upstart Empress Dowager Dong led the nouveau riche emperor to live a luxurious life in the palace, while the chief minister Cao Song was worried about the stretched financial income.

What should I do if I can't make ends meet?The emperor said: You can sell your officials. Didn't the first emperor sell your officials to rescue him?

The first emperor is an emergency, how about you?

Coupled with the fact that the wool came out of the sheep, and the local officials who spent millions of dollars to take office, in order to be worth the fare, corruption is certain.The emperor is acquiescing to corruption across the country, which is really drinking poison to quench thirst.

Cao Song sat on his knees in the magnificent palace, looked up at His Majesty with a playful smile, and was already thinking about throwing the blame.This big farmer is getting more and more difficult every year.In his heart, he didn't want to bear the big pot of "reopening the wind of selling officials". The Cao family has always been wise and safe, and they dare not go against public opinion.

Now Cao Song's rank is not low, so he asked respectfully: "Does all the money and silk obtained from selling officials go into the treasury? If this is the case, it can relieve the urgent need. I will tell each department that the salary is in arrears. After half a year, I think everyone will understand His Majesty."

The emperor's hand holding the glass wine glass stopped, and even the beauty in his arms was not fragrant.There is a huge sum of money in front of you, and the emperor's private treasury can't even drink a mouthful of soup. How can this be done?

So he waved his hand: "After thinking about it, Da Si Nong has a lot of things to do every day, so I won't bother you. The Shaofu has just finished repairing the palace and the palace is empty, so let him go."

The Shaofu is an official in charge of the emperor's private treasury and court expenses, and belongs to the same Jiuqing as Da Sinonong.In this way, selling an official has become the emperor's personal behavior, and has nothing to do with the Dasinong who is in charge of finance and taxation.

Cao Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the emperor again.

"Is there any new story recently from Mengde?"

"Your Majesty, although Luoyang North Captain is small, he is also an official of the imperial court..."

"It's not for making fun of. I know, I know." The emperor waved his hand with a grin. "You're in a hurry, feel sorry for your son. I just want to hear the new story of the case."

Yes, the emperor recently acquired a hobby of listening to detective stories.Speaking of which, it has something to do with Cao Cao.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was an era when solving cases depended entirely on spirituality.Although everyone has initially grasped the concept of witness and physical evidence, the postmortem, the protection of the scene, and the chain of evidence are still embryos.Therefore, when Cao Cao inferred the height from the footprints and found out the real culprit of a murder and planting case, he attracted the emperor's attention.

In that incident, a certain eunuch's son ordered his subordinates to kill someone after he failed to take the robbery. Because he had to pay attention to the influence next to the palace, he hid the murder weapon and the bloody clothes in the room of the deceased's brother, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

However, by chance, he met Cao Cao, a police chief who didn't play by routine, and held a public trial meeting directly in front of the mansion. After the evidence was conclusive, the two murderers were shot on the spot for "big disrespect".

The eunuch's son, because he couldn't find any evidence that he killed directly, can only be regarded as lax in discipline.So Cao Cao was very unhappy and issued him a huge civil compensation bill.The victim's family members are going to be moved out of Luoyang with a fine as a settling fee to prevent the other party from retaliating.

If you move out from Luoyang, you will naturally have to report it.In addition, the eunuch involved in that case was blind and sued the emperor.

So the young emperor listened to the story of using the length of footprints to infer height.He was only nineteen years old, at the age when he was full of curiosity, so he found a room full of eunuchs and maids on the spot, measured the length and height of his feet one by one, and substituted them into Cao Cao's formula to calculate—hey, it was really amazing.

After this incident, Cao Cao, the little Luoyang Northern Lieutenant, became an upstart in front of the emperor.The child abduction case of a tooth shop, the kidnapping and extortion case of the ranger group, the serial murder case of the princess face, the eunuch's murder of a beautiful girl... let alone whether the mastermind can be punished, as long as the case is interesting enough, it is better to add some dignitaries Privacy, the emperor is willing to listen.

This is actually a win-win process.

The emperor had fun; Cao Cao found a backer, who could use the name of the emperor to deter the powerful, uphold the law, and increase his prestige.

With a chief official whose backing is strong enough, his bones are strong enough, and his fists are strong enough, the ghosts and monsters in northern Luoyang were wiped out in less than half a year.Hard resistance is no match for the family soldiers brought back from the border; bribe them, the family is a rich man; find high-ranking officials and dignitaries to suppress others?Cao Cao can go up to the sky to listen.

Even Cao Song sighed: "You are really lucky. You have pierced through your arbitrariness, and you have won the emperor's favor."

"He just took me for fun." Cao Cao sneered, "I wanted to punish Cao Jie and Wang Fu, but I was stopped? Princess Yang'an slapped her face to death, even though that beast deserves to die , but the princess carelessly disregards human life, isn't it out of control? Sangong's family committed a crime, in order to save the court's face, they can only be dealt with by their family law. The real persuasive ones are just some hooligans who pretend to be powerful. My father said that I will act recklessly, but I think It's disgusting to be so smooth!"

Cao Song sighed: "What else do you want? Just beat Jian Shuo to death?"

"If I followed my temper, I saw Jian Shuo's uncle give him a knife that night, and he took it on the spot and beat him to death with a five-color stick."

Jian Shuo was a eunuch.Because of his strong body and culture, he was appreciated by the emperor.

"The higher-ups can't do whatever they want," Cao Song said, "but it's good that you can restrain your temper a little now."

Cao Cao hummed, saluted his father and ran to the backyard.He was going to ponder the "Winning the Wrongs Record" sent by A Sheng, and by the way give the eldest daughter who was still breastfeeding a hug and a hug.

In this way, the days came to the fourth year of Xiping.Another year of disasters and disasters, floods in April swept across the counties.

When Cao Cao rolled up his trousers and was doing disaster relief by the Luo River, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and he was dismissed from office.Although he had long thought that the dignitaries offended by him would unite to drive him away sooner or later, but he really didn't expect that the reason for his dismissal would come from the crowd of women.

"Empress Song has been thrown into limbo for practicing witchcraft." The yamen servant who came to report the letter was originally a gangster. Qidu has already been imprisoned. Lang Jun and Song Qi are good friends and are also in-laws. Someone secretly reported that Lang Jun was also involved in this matter, so, so... Lang Jun, run away!"

Cao Cao wiped the rain from his face and piled a sandbag on the embankment. "Since when did His Majesty have an heir?"

The subordinates around are about to kneel down to the boss, you're not focusing on that, right? "Since the news has spread, it must have happened. If it wasn't born, it was in the mother's womb. After all, it's...you run away!"

"Relieve the disaster first, don't rush."

"In the early days, Taizu was the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang. He was upright and honest, and he was not afraid of the powerful. Whenever there was a criminal case, he would go to the scene, check the evidence, and comfort the sufferer. When the verdict was as bright as the sky, it was as bright as the autumn hair, and it was convincing from far and near. Empress Song was exonerated. It coincided with a flood in the capital, and Taizu continued to rescue disasters. When he tied his hands, he still ordered his subordinates not to slack off. The people cried when they heard the words. The emperor knew that he was upright, so he pardoned him and called him up three years later. .”

It is impossible to die.The so-called Empress Song's witchcraft was originally created out of nothing.

The woman the emperor likes is pregnant. This is the emperor's first child.The Song family was not favored, so they just found an excuse to abolish it to make way for the beloved concubine.

Cao Cao suffered because he had offended too many people, and he couldn't find fault with him, so he could only find an excuse to let him go.You know, Cao Song didn't even get downgraded.It is said that they are relatives of the Song family, and Cao Cao is the only one who suffers from the whole Cao family.

What is going on, everyone knows clearly.The emperor also knew it clearly.

Needless to say, he still felt a little guilty.Cao Cao, a man of the same age, is an interesting and good partner. "When the emperor's heir has stabilized, call him back." The emperor said to the Zhongchang attendants on the left and right, "Cao Mengde can be a court lieutenant."

Jian Shuo smiled on his face, MMP in his heart, Cao Cao, you better not come back and harm us.

Ting Wei, one of the Nine Ministers, the highest prison officer in the country.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't know that in the emperor's heart, he could be a court lieutenant. His ideal was General Zhengxi, not the police chief.Although Luoyang Northern Lieutenant is also a military officer, can the security forces and the expeditionary army be the same?Therefore, if you lose the official, you will lose it, and you don't feel bad at all.In short, the reputation is enough, and it is worth the fare.

Speaking of the emperor, he also felt a little complicated.After all, they are peers who have held a story meeting for a year, no matter how arrogant they are, I don't want him to be bad.

So when Yuan Shao held his hand and spoke ill of the emperor cryptically, Cao Cao turned his head away. "Your Majesty is just lazy and self-willed. After all, he is still young."

Yuan Shao: ...he is many years younger.

Looking at Cao Cao's attitude, Yuan Shao knew that he couldn't express his wishful thinking about eating the inheritance of the Han Dynasty, so he could only sigh: "Meng De is now in the same party, and someone wants to take revenge. What are you going to do?"

Cao Cao spread his hands rascally: "Can't afford to provoke or hide? I'm going to Liangzhou to serve Ran Minggong. Then, have a baby and play."

Yuan Shao: ...

Before Cao Cao became an official, there was only his wife Ding in the backyard.At that time, he was busy studying in Taixue, making friends and gaining knowledge, and under the eyes of his father, he had no time or courage to take concubines.

It's just that Ding had four miscarriages in a row, which hurt her body. Seeing that there was no hope of having a child, she had to take a concubine for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had just become Luoyang Northern Captain, and he frowned upon hearing this and said, "Don't accept those beauties whose origins are unknown, but who are sent to your door by themselves. Now that I have offended many people, who knows whether they are sent in by someone or a spy?"

At this time, Boss Cao was cautious because he was young.

The childhood sweethearts have been husband and wife for many years, and Mrs. Ding understood it in no time, so Mrs. Liu was hired from her hometown in Yuzhou-she was innocent.The Liu family is a clan and a big family in Yuzhou. Liu Wei, who was often bullied by Cao Cao when he was a child, is from the Liu family.

Liu's concubine for Cao Cao is naturally a concubine of a side branch.This is a docile house girl, and the most meaningful thing she does is to have children.Pregnant at the beginning, and pregnant again just after confinement.The first child was a girl, and now the second child is about to be born.

"If you give birth to the eldest son, please give it to your wife to raise." Liu touched her face shyly, "I have never studied, and I hope that the child will be as sensible and strong as my wife in the future."

Are you strong?

You can't be strong.

Ding sighed and asked Liu to take care of the baby.She is 24 years old this year. At this age, her aunt and mother-in-law had already passed away due to dystocia.

The high-spirited girlhood of selling sapphire paper with Cao Sheng is as far away as fireflies on the other side of Luoshui.

The author has something to say: 1. The ancient texts are all made up by me, and grammatical errors are inevitable.

2. The reader who pointed out that sweet potatoes are seedlings yesterday was right.I made a mistake in the last chapter.

3. The history written here has already lost a lot of butterflies.Historically, when Cao Cao was the northern captain of Luoyang, he was moved to Dunqiu Ling because he killed Jian Shuo's uncle, and I lost it here.I think Cao Cao will be smoother and more mature than the original timeline after Zhang Huan's incident.The time when Empress Song was abolished was brought forward by me by 2-3 years, and Liu Bian's birth time remained unchanged.Basically, I will advance the main historical events by 2-4 years in the future, and there will be more and more places that do not match the historical facts. Please pay attention to distinguishing young readers.
