It was getting late at that time. When the next morning, when officials went to work in the imperial city one after another, a news that shocked them spread.

In order to plead for Cao Hong, the Crown Prince Guo Jin was scolded by the emperor for thirty rods. He was beaten to death with blood. Now he is lying on the bed and can no longer get up.

I guess I can't wait to walk safely for a long time.

The ministers were shocked.

From the staff officer Xi Zhong and the censor Guo Hong to a small official who served tea and water from various offices, they were shocked by this.

Of course, not only that, as this news comes out, another news spreads.

The emperor exempted Cao Hong from his death penalty and his family from exile.

But death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be escaped.

Cao Hong's position will be revoked, his title will be deprived, and his fief will be deprived. Except for his ancestral property in his hometown in Yuzhou, all property, including gold, silver and land, were confiscated, without any left.

Cao Hong went from being the left general of the Guard to Lecheng Hou to becoming a bare local rich man.

Although the losses were heavy, their lives were saved.

No one forgot that a few days ago, the ministers went on a letter to rescue Cao Hong. In order to save Cao Hong's life and to protect the red line between the emperor and the ministers from being crossed.

But the emperor seemed determined to become the only one husband in the world. The ministers who pleaded with mercy were beaten, scolded and confined, and none of them succeeded.

Cao Hong was also specially handled by special matters and was executed in three days.

He did not give any possibility of rescue, and the ministers were discouraged and trembled. They knelt on the ground facing the imperial power, and never dared to speak again.

But who would have thought that at this time, the Crown Prince Guo Jin actually went upstream and personally ran to the Nanshu to meet the emperor and asked the emperor to forgive Cao Hong.

As long as you are not stupid, people know the dangers here.

Cao Hong didn't say anything else, he was also a left general of the Guard. He led troops in Luoyang and had the power to lead the troops.

Guo Jin is the crown prince, the crown prince, and the future emperor.

Since ancient times, the power boundaries and patterns of getting along between emperors and crown princes have been very subtle. There are few harmonious relationships between emperors and their crown princes in the past dynasties, and extremes, and fathers and sons are not without war.

Emperor Wu of Han killed the prince for this.

The bloody reality is recorded in history books, and no one has ever avoided it.

According to the opinions of the ministers, the relationship between Guo Peng and the Crown Prince Guo Jin is considered harmonious.

Guo Peng attached great importance to Guo Jin. It is said that Guo Jin's enlightenment teacher when he was young was Guo Peng's teacher, Lu Zhi, the Grand Marshal of the previous dynasty.

After Lu Zhi passed away, Guo Jin's education was captured by Cai Yong, the Situ of the dynasty.

Later, Guo Peng established a school that specialized in educating the children of the royal family and relatives and senior officials. Guo Jin also entered school with them. He was still the chief official of Cai Yong, supplemented by many famous scholars. Guo Peng also took the time to teach Guo Jin himself, specially selected textbooks for him and made annotations for him.

After Guo Jin became an adult, he was asked to be the county magistrate, and sent him to the Western Regions to train in the military. Then he became the Henan Yin and the head of the martial arts lecture hall in Shouyangshan. He was both in military and political affairs and held considerable power.

Guo Jin has not served as the Henan Yin for a long time, and it only took several months, but he has no problem handling of all government affairs in the capital of Luoyang. He handled it properly and handled many complicated matters in an orderly manner, which is highly praised by the ministers.

From this point of view, Guo Peng has high hopes for Guo Jin.

But despite this, the emperor was still very taboo to the crown prince for interacting with ministers and generals without his permission. Even if they were relatives, they needed to avoid taboos and handle the relationship between the two parties carefully.

Now that Cao Hong is facing the death penalty, Guo Jin is desperate to save him. This is even a bit politically incorrect and a bit naive in politics.

Fortunately, the emperor only blamed Guo Jin for being accused of the scepter, and did not abolish his position, nor did he abolish his position as crown prince, and even more, he was exempted from Cao Hong's death penalty.

In the eyes of some people, it is simply a miracle.

Guo Jin fought hard to trigger a miracle.

No one knows what the emperor was thinking, but judging by the emperor's thirty-stop shot of the prince, the emperor is not unhappy.

So they didn't know whether Guo Jin saved everything, was lucky or the emperor's deep affection for him, and could not bear to destroy the outstanding heirs he had cultivated.

Although Guo Jin's behavior seems naive to many people and is politically incorrect.

However, all the officials who knew about this matter hoped that Guo Jin would get better soon.

It's just a small wish.

I haven't even said it.

It's just buried in my heart and won't let outsiders know.

No one dared to visit Guo Jin at the Yin Mansion in Henan.

Because everyone knows that visiting Guo Jin at this time is to kill him.

Everyone is politically qualified and correct.

Even Cao Cao, who was lifted from his confinement and returned to the cabinet office due to Guo Jin's hard rescue, did not dare to visit Guo Jin after learning about this.

He didn't even say a word, just pretending that this thing had not happened.

Only Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, brought some medicinal herbs to visit Guo Jin.

Of course, if Guo Jin was just Henan Yin, not the crown prince, or a member of the royal family, at this moment, his mansion would have been flattened by people who were visiting him continuously.

However, his identity was destined to be no official dared to see him.

The only person who dared to visit was Cao Hong.

It was Cao Hong who was waiting for death in vain.

Before learning that he was going to be killed, Cao Hong was still angry and cursed Guo Peng in his heart for being ruthless and innocent, crossing the river and burning bridges, and when he learned that he was going to be killed, he collapsed.

He cried and made a fuss, and was crying and begging His Majesty to spare his life. The roaring sound could be heard in the entire Sili School Guard's Mansion.

When his throat became hoarse and could not be heard, he was lying on the ground and waiting for death, Cheng Yu opened the door under house arrest and told him coldly - [You are exempted from death].

Then, Cao Hong was surprised to learn the causes and consequences of his avoidance of death.

He learned that Guo Jin had been beaten with thirty sticks to rescue him, and his butt was so bloody that he was lying on the bed and couldn't get off the bed. He didn't think about walking again after a month.

In an instant, the tears fell down like the broken beads.

Cao Hong lay on the ground and cried hard, constantly pounding the ground, pounding while crying, and pounding while crying.

After leaving the Sili Schoolmaster's Mansion, Cao Hong reunited with his equally miserable family. The family hugged their heads and cried bitterly, celebrating their escaping from death.

Because all positions were removed, the conditions for living in Luoyang were gone.

Cao Hong had no choice but to return to his hometown in Qiao County to live, rely on his ancestral property, and become a rich man in the countryside, and talk about **.
