One thousand two hundred and twenty-four to make Your Majesty unhappy, this is the greatest sin
First of all, in terms of kinship, Cao Hong is Guo Jin's elder. This relationship is here, so he will feel a little worried and a little embarrassed when he starts.
Moreover, Empress Cao is Guo Jin's mother, surnamed Cao. If Guo Jin comes blatantly and persecutes Cao Hong, it will be difficult for him to explain to him.
So this part is indeed a problem.
Cao Hong had already handed over some of the interests and promoted the land measurement. He was willing to pay as much taxes every year, but Guo Peng and his son were still unwilling to let him go.
But this cannot be blamed on the royal father and son, as Cao Hong is really too big of a goal.
More than 200,000 acres of land and more than 10,000 hidden households are larger than some small countries during the Spring and Autumn Period, all of which are richer and have a larger population. What is your Cao Zilian doing?
Do you want to take the opportunity to make trouble?
If you are smart enough, you should hand over these things yourself, find a better reason, and flatter the emperor. Then your fate may not be worse than Cao Ren.
But you don't have that enlightenment.
Now, let the royal father and son take a look at you and find a way to deal with you personally.
If you go against the emperor, can you still have a good end?
Cheng Yu felt that his style of work has shocked Luoyang recently and was very suitable for doing such things, so he set his sights on Guo Jin.
Guo is not convenient to do this kind of thing, but Cheng Yu is not worried.
The crown prince knew the high-end political skill of killing people without experiencing the cruelty of political struggles.
Not bad, not bad, there are successors to the Wei Empire.
Cheng Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, then looked at Guo Jin seriously.
"Does Your Highness the Crown Prince think Cao Hong is guilty?"
Guo Jin pursed his lips and shook his head.
"It should be a crime. Cao Hong did not violate the national law. He did not annex the land of the farm. The lands of the big landlords were all the lands of the big landlords, and those lands were not within the registration scope of the court."
"No, he is guilty."
Cheng Yu shook his head.
This surprised Guo Jin.
"What's his crime?"
"He made His Majesty dissatisfied, and this is a sin."
Cheng Yu said, "Your Majesty is the emperor, who is in charge of the heavenly beings, and speaks with the laws. Whatever Your Majesty says is what. Cao Zilian makes Your Majesty dissatisfied and makes Your Majesty unhappy. This is the biggest sin. What else can you question?"
Guo Jin suddenly felt that Cheng Yu was right.
"What Mr. Cheng said is extremely true. It is the biggest crime to make Your Majesty dissatisfied. The crime committed by Cao Hong is really huge."
“Yes, it’s really big.”
Cheng Yu nodded: "So, punishing Cao Zilian, let Cao Zilian change his wrong approach, return the land he occupied to the government, and let the government distribute it again, that is a matter of natural. If Cao Zilian opposes it, it is the crime of rebellion."
"Take a rebellion?"
Guo Jin was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Cheng Yu would be so guilty of being charged.
"Yes, if the emperor has an order to rebel, and the ministers do not follow him, that is a sin. If you resist, that is the crime of rebellion. The crime of rebellion is a crime that can be executed."
"But... this... isn't it to the point where you want to be executed, right?"
Guo Jin was a little surprised that Cheng Yu's combat power was actually so difficult.
"Whether to be executed depends entirely on Cao Zilian's own behavior. If he can admit his mistake in time and hand over what he shouldn't have got, then he naturally won't have to die, but if he is stubborn, the problem will be big."
Cheng Yu said seriously what Guo Jin couldn't even think of.
"But... this... it's not convenient for His Majesty and I to come forward, right?"
It was so simple for Guo Jin to seek Cheng Yu's help because he was really embarrassed to impeach Cao Hong himself.
Guo Peng told him that using any means is OK, and everything is left to his own will. Guo Jin thought about it and felt that it was possible to use a knife to kill someone.
Otherwise, he would be a little depressed when facing the large group of Cao's children during festivals.
Of course, at this time, Guo Jin finally realized the unpleasant feeling brought by what Guo Peng said to him [the court is full of children of the Cao family].
There are too many things, and we have to worry about here and there. Those guys are not greedy and never consider the emperor. They only know their own interests, but they do not have the emperor's interests.
Under this circumstance, Guo Jin accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction.
These dissatisfactions slowly accumulate, and to a certain extent, making Guo Jin very uncomfortable.
So when Guo Peng told him that he would personally dismember Cao Hong's manor, he had a little insignificant pleasure in his heart.
The feeling of pleasure that you will not have to be restrained after being restrained for a long time.
It's really pleasant, really.
But after thinking about it, he watched his father beat the world's powerful people with rapid operation methods, and his toughness made him envious, but he faced Cao Hong's manor and didn't know what to do.
I don’t know what excuses to start, or in other words, excuses and other things are not important. What’s important is that he doesn’t know what he should do after he takes action, facing a group of Cao’s relatives.
Especially when facing mother.
No, you cannot come forward in person, you must hide it behind the scenes and must not be known to others.
Guo Jin determined this basic principle.
Later, he thought of Cheng Yu, who had a very bad reputation in Luoyang City recently, comparable to that of a demon.
Cheng Yu dared to clean up anyone, and he only cleaned up Guo Jun's father-in-law Yuan Si hard. Yuan Si didn't dare to let go of any of them, and he vomited all the land in Runan County.
If it were Cheng Yu, there would be a way to dismember Cao Hong's manor, so that Cao Hong could not continue to annex the land, expand his power, and could no longer threaten the rule of the Guo and Wei Empire.
With this idea, Guo Jin came to seek Cheng Yu's help, and at the same time, he also wanted to learn something from Cheng Yu.
Learn some tricks.
Cheng Yu also knew very well that it was inconvenient to come forward directly, which was the main reason why Guo Jin came to seek his help.
"Of course, your Majesty and Your Highness don't need to come forward. The reason why the old minister said this was to tell Your Highness that Cao Hong was not innocent. Cao Hong was guilty, and his crime was serious and his crime was only in his mind."
Guo Jin expressed his understanding.
"So, how should we dismember Cao Hong's manor and force him to spit out the land and people?"
Cheng Yu pinched his beard and smiled.
"Why should your highness worry about your highness? The so-called crime that you want to add is not a word, let alone what Your Majesty has handed it to your highness. In this matter, Your Highness can also do the crime that you want to add is not a word."
“How to say it?”
Guo Jin hurriedly asked.
"Cao Zilian's manor is so vast that it is spread all over the states, so he must not be managed by himself. Usually, he must entrust the manors spread all over the states to others to manage."
"Yes, as far as I know, the Cao family manor is all Cao Hong's close friends, and the family slaves are responsible for the management. Only in terms of specific accounts will some Cao family members be arranged to review and check, so as to prevent the people below from making profits."
"Well, isn't that a problem? The managers of Cao Zilian's several state estates have contact with the owners who rebelled before, and have letters, and are ill-intentioned and intend to rebel!"
Cheng Yu grinned, smiling very viciously.
"this……"
Guo Jin was shocked: "Mr. Cheng, how could Cao do such a thing? He couldn't? If you say this, will anyone believe it?"
"It doesn't matter what you believe."
Cheng Yu spread his hands: "Your Highness's purpose is to dismember Cao Zilian's manor and force him to spit out the land. As long as this goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what means it is. Your Highness, your Majesty also said, let Your Highness use any means to do this? Could it be that Your Highness can't bear it?"
