Emperor Hongzhi looked at Cao Yuan.

This person was a Jinshi during the Chenghua period, and Emperor Hongzhi had a certain impression of this person.

Of course... this impression is limited to the report.

Seeing that Cao Yuan had something to say, his tone was meaningful, Emperor Hongzhi looked around and everyone else retreated with tactfulness.

Only Fang Jifan was shameless and did not move.

Cao Yuan looked up at Fang Jifan, and then looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face, so Cao Yuan felt confident that the young man in front of him must be someone he believed in by the imperial envoy.

Cao Yuan said: "Have the imperial envoy ever thought about who the person who was the assassination?"

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "But I don't know why, Cao Gong already knows who the real murderer is."

Cao Yuan smiled: "How can I know..." He felt that Emperor Hongzhi was extraordinary and familiar, but he had no impression of where he met.

After all, people who have reached his level need to meet so many people every day, they can be said to have seen countless people. So after thinking about it, I gave up my thoughts, but said solemnly: "The Duke of Wei has made many weapons over the years. I wonder if I have heard of the imperial envoy?"

Emperor Hongzhi said, "But I heard that these are all sacrificial vessels, and they are archived in the Hanlin Academy. In the early years, Duke of Wei wrote to the court and His Majesty also approved it."

The noble family was proud of showing off their power. Almost the Dukes of the Ming Dynasty would build weapons during their lifetime and then be buried. This Duke of Wei was the descendant of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. This was the tradition of the Xu family. Therefore... before building weapons, they would write to the court and prepare for them after the emperor approved them.

"But don't Qin Zhizeng think there are some problems in this?"

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "I have no real evidence, and there is no unreasonable guess."

This made Cao Yuan's face darker. He squinted his eyes and seemed to have begun to speculate on the temperament of the imperial envoy.

After thinking about it, Cao Yuan smiled: "So, Qin Envoy got nothing in Nanjing?"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It's not entirely true. I found some things."

Cao Yuan said: "I don't know what it is?"

Emperor Hongzhi was calm and composed: "This... cannot be said!"

Cao Yuan felt very upset.

I originally thought... this time, Zhizhu was in control, and the Duke of Wei's mansion would definitely not be able to escape. Who knew that the imperial envoy encountered in front of me was actually a elm-headed man. Everything was not based on real evidence, so I dared not make any guesses without reason, or I could not say it!

He then held the tea and drank it lightly: "Yes, it's better not to say it. The reason why I asked was because I was the left deputy censor, impeaching the officials of Jiangnan. Their duties were entrenched, and I also asked the Qin Envoy to forgive me. In addition, there are rumors outside now. Does the Qin Envoy know... Nowadays, people are in panic. People say that the Duke of Wei's Mansion is going to rebel. The Duke of Wei's Mansion is entrenched in Nanjing and is deeply rooted. Once a rebellion is insignificant, it is a big deal. When the Qin Envoy comes to Nanjing, he is plotted against. Who is the person who wants to assassinate the Qin Envoy? Who is it? Who dares to assassinate the Qin Envoy, and who is it? Can so many people be transferred? What do they want to cover up? All this is thought-provoy, isn't Qin Envoy... not worried at all?"

Emperor Hongzhi only listened to his words, but he smiled: "I have said that this is an imperial case. I came here with the order. As for the case, I need to keep a secret. I don't want to discuss this matter in detail."

Speaking of this, I didn't expect that the emperor's tone was so tight.

This suddenly made Cao Yuan alert.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Emperor Hongzhi, but suddenly took a sip of tea meaningfully: "Okay, let's not talk about this. The envoy is from Tai'an Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong. Your teacher is Mr. Kong Nian from Shandong. I have heard of this person. Although I have never met him, I have some connection with him."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but think that he had found out about this detail. Emperor Hongzhi said perfunctorily: "Since he went to Beijing to become an official, although he occasionally wrote books, he has not seen a gentleman for a long time. Over the years, he has become increasingly unfamiliar."

"How can the friendship between teachers and students be unfamiliar?" Cao Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, although he is in the wild, he is very concerned about the future of the Qin envoy. After all, you are his favorite student. I saw that the Qin envoy had a great aura, but why, so far, are you still a attendant of the Hanlin Academy?"

Emperor Hongzhi began to wonder what he sold in his gourd.

"After all, it is nothing more than the current court, where jackals are in power, and even the wise and virtuous talents are hopeless to be promoted. Although I am in Nanjing, I know that now, most of the people who have risen to the West Mountain are from the West Mountain. Instead, we are from the right path, and we are actually accompanies the last one. I am ashamed of saying that. I think it is true that the position of Minister of Personnel is in the hands of Ouyang Zhi, the great disciple of the West Mountain? He wants to appoint his own people, and no one can do anything about it. However... Wu Zhong, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has some friendship. If the Qin envoy returns to Beijing this time, if he takes Wu Zhong's path, he may take advantage of the Qin envoy's merits today, and he might as well take advantage of the Qin envoy's achievements to make it easier. I will write a letter to the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Personnel. I think I will pay attention to the Qin envoy."

Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

Is this the legendary formation of cliques for personal gain?

Or, use this to lure yourself?

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but wonder, if the real envoy came, I wonder if he would submit under the temptation of Cao Yuan.

Emperor Hongzhi acted as if he was keeping people from thousands of miles away: "This is related to the administration of the government, and the Ministry of Personnel has made a fair decision, so he dare not do anything to Cao Gong."

Cao Yuan was already furious when he heard this.

To be honest, a mere Hanlin attendant was nothing in his eyes.

The reason why I am afraid of the person in front of me is just because of the other party’s identity as an envoy.

Who knew that after being assassinated, this person still refused to eat oil and salt, and his attitude was unknown.

Now that the arrow is on the string, the officials in Nanjing have already reported that they borrowed the imperial envoy to be assassinated and made a big fuss, hinting at the Duke of Wei’s rebellion, and thus assassinating the imperial envoy. But if the imperial envoy did not let go, wouldn’t it be in vain?

All these good things were said, and he mentioned the other party’s mentor and said that he could give him a future in the future. How could he know that the other party is still like this? The person in front of him... is really stupid and unconscious!

Cao Yuan suddenly became rude: "The officialdom is rising and falling, who knows the honor and disgrace tomorrow? Today, the imperial envoy is the imperial envoy and is ordered by the emperor. Although he is a great man, he will return to the capital and submit his orders, he will still be a posthumous person. The Minister of Personnel Wu can promote people, but if he annoys him, he wants to take advantage of the style of the capital and depose a certain official. Besides, I am the left deputy chief censor. Although I am the only person in charge of Jiangnan, he has some connections in the Censorate. If someone impeaches the Qin envoy at this time, this is probably a hindrance to the Qin envoy's official voice."

Emperor Hongzhi was even more angry.

These words are already a threat to the naked one.

The imperial envoy of the court actually... actually...

He could not imagine how much dirt was hidden in this peaceful world.

But Cao Yuan looked at him with confidence.

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned red immediately and he clenched his teeth.

Emperor Hongzhi's reaction was not beyond Cao Yuan's expectations.

Hanlin, who has been in the Hanlin Academy for most of his life, has not seen much of the world. He has reached this age and is still "childish".

In Cao Yuan's opinion, this is no matter how normal it is. People have hopes that they will pull first and then beat themselves, and they are not afraid that the person in front of them will not submit.

Besides, he had already inquired about this imperial envoy... in fact, he was also harmed by the Western Mountains and was promoted repeatedly, and was taken advantage of by the Western Mountains disciples. However, some people are more stupid and do not know how powerful they are.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly stood up and said bluntly: "Bold, are you threatening me?"

Cao Yuan looked at the angry old attendant and smiled. He held the teacup leisurely and sipped the tea, but he said slowly: "I am the left deputy censor. How could I threaten the imperial envoy? But... Then again, what if I threaten you? The reason is, I have told you thoroughly. Things in this world are very simple, but like the water of the Qinhuai River, they are vast and mighty. Those who follow will prosper, and those who rebel will perish. If the imperial envoy did not come here, I would be just a mere assistant. What if I threaten you? What if I do you do it?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked tragic.

The first time he tried it was the taste of injustice.

This feeling... made him feel like he was stuttering a big stone.

His body trembled, but it was the first time he had experienced such a thing, and he was about to blurt out: "I..."

I just left.

But Cao Yuan showed a hint of surprise on his face. At this moment, Fang Jifan, who was beside him, stepped forward suddenly, clenched his fist, and punched him hard.

Cao Yuan never expected that at this time... the less noticeable young man next to him was so presumptuous.

He also yelled loudly: "You dog-like thing, who dares to be arrogant in front of me? Do you know that I..."

Bang...

Cao Yuan's warning did not stop Fang Jifan.

He punched it, carrying the strong wind.

Before the fist arrives, the wind has arrived.

Cao Yuan was stunned. He seemed to feel that the situation had lost his control.

The mere deputy of the imperial envoy in front of him was so brave.

The fist has arrived, and the eye socket is in the middle.

With a bang... Cao Yuan suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his eye socket.

He grinned his teeth, subconsciously covered his eyes, and sat on the chair, but was overwhelmed by force, and then he fell to the ground.

Dong...

The person and the seats are connected to the end, and dust rises.

Fang Jifan showed murderous intent and gritted his teeth: "You dog-like thing, do you know who I am? Are you worthy of talking to me like this?"
