Chapter 829
Outside Chengtianmen, the sedan chair of the Cao family landed on the ground, and with the support of Cao Yunhui, Cao Jiasheng got off the sedan chair.
Looking at the tall palace gate in front of him, Cao Jiasheng was speechless, and took a few breaths before walking forward.
"Father, slow down!"
Although the sun is setting to the west, there is still more than half an hour before "off work", and the palace gate is still more than an hour before it closes.
With the official present, the area outside the Huangji Gate is unimpeded, so Cao Jiasheng can enter the palace at this moment.
They appeared in front of Chengtianmen, and were also seen by the surrounding officials. Obviously, the news of Tao Yangbo's entry into the palace would soon spread throughout the various yamen.
The "Cao family" killed the imperial court officials, and all the major yamen knew about it, so it's no wonder they paid attention to the Cao family.
After identity verification, Cao Jiasheng and his son entered the palace gate, and every step he took was extremely difficult.
After passing through Chengtianmen, the two of them passed through Da'anmen, and Huangjimen was already in sight.
But to meet the emperor, they had to go to Qian'an Palace, so they could only continue walking inside.
Enter Huangji Gate, pass Chongzheng Gate, and finally Cao Jiasheng came to Qian'an Gate.
From Chengtianmen to here, the distance is nearly a thousand meters, and Cao Jiasheng is already exhausted.
Looking at the palace gate in front of him, Cao Jiasheng leaned on his son's body and took several breaths.
After waiting for a few minutes, Cao Jiasheng knew that the matter was really serious when he saw that no one came out to greet him in Qian'an Gate.
After breathing evenly, Cao Jiasheng said, "Hurry up and go back!"
"father……"
Before Cao Yunhui could speak, Cao Jiasheng said to himself: "Don't meddle in this matter anymore, remember my words, don't meddle in palace and official affairs in the future, and live a peaceful life behind closed doors!"
"father!"
"Hurry up!" Cao Jiasheng turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of determination.
At this moment, although his father was right in front of him, Cao Yunhui felt that he was very far away.
"go!"
"Yes!"
Cao Yunhui let go of his hand and kept backing away, while Cao Jiasheng also turned his head.
After his son disappeared, Cao Jiasheng took a difficult step and walked slowly towards Qian'anmen.
And at the corner of the palace road, Cao Yunhui was looking quietly at the moment, and saw his father staggering towards the palace gate, as if he was about to fall to the ground with every step he took.
"Sinner Cao Jiasheng, I asked my emperor Sheng'an, the management of the family is not going well, resulting in a lot of harm, I am here to plead guilty!"
"All the crimes are caused by the lax housekeeping of the old minister, which made the big mistake today. This is the fault of the old minister alone. I implore the emperor to forgive me!"
The guards and eunuchs on duty were all surprised to see Cao Jiasheng coming to plead guilty in such a difficult situation.
If someone could go to the Qian'an Gate to have an audience, they had to report to the inside as usual, so when Cao Jiasheng knelt down and kowtowed, some eunuchs had already entered the palace gate.
At this moment in Qian'an Palace, Zhao Yanxun's face was ashen, and there were more than a hundred memorials in front of him, which were delivered within two hours.
The content of the memorial is also very simple. It is all about impeaching the Cao family for their rampant lawlessness. Now that they have committed the crime of treason, they implore the emperor to punish him severely.
"They move fast!" Zhao Yanxun said coldly.
At this time, Huo An stood opposite with his waist hooked and said: "Your Majesty, when the servants come over, there will be memorials to send in, I'm afraid there will be many people to play!"
Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Huo An asked again: "Your Majesty, these memorials...how should we deal with them?"
Zhao Yanxun impatiently threw out the memorial in his hand, and said at the same time: "Write down the person who gave the memorial, and let Lin Quan check carefully. As for these memorials... burn them!"
These memorials were clearly fueling the fire, so Zhao Yanxun naturally wouldn't get used to these people, and he felt more at ease after being burned.
"According to the order!"
It is definitely against the rules to burn it, but this is an order from Zhao Yanxun, and what is wrong is also right.
As soon as Huo An waved, several young eunuchs entered the room, picked up the memorial and left.
When the few of them left, Zhao Yanxun heard the faint voice of apologizing from outside the palace gate.
When he turned on the system perception and instantly controlled the external situation, he learned that Cao Jiasheng had come to apologize.
"You are young and your health is not good, so why bother coming here at this time!"
Now that he knew that someone was behind the scenes, Zhao Yanxun's anger towards the Cao family had dissipated a lot, and he even had a little bit of sympathy.
Zhao Yanxun has done a lot of things that his relatives do not recognize, and Zhao Yanxun pays great attention to cultivating his sympathy.
"Report to the emperor that Tao Yangbo is outside asking for an audience!"
Zhao Yanxun had actually heard what Cao Jiasheng yelled outside, but it was really inconvenient to meet him right now.
"You go and pass on my oral order, and say that this matter is strange, and that some traitor may cause trouble. I have ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate strictly, and let him go back and wait with peace of mind!"
What is certain is that Tao Yangbo's appearance outside Qian'an Gate must have attracted the attention of many people.
In order to maintain a fair and just image, Zhao Yanxun could not meet with him, so he could only spread this word of mouth.
The so-called "treacherous people make trouble" in the oral order is to reassure Cao Jiasheng on the one hand, and to deter those people behind the scenes on the other hand.
"Also, Bo Tao Yang has made great achievements and suffered for the country, so he sent him out of the palace with a chariot and sedan chair!"
Now in the palace, only the emperor and the empress dowager are eligible to sit in the chariot and sedan chair, including the empress.
Although it was not granted the privilege of riding a chariot in the palace, sending Cao Jiasheng out of the palace with a chariot sedan was already a very high courtesy to him, and there was no problem in reassuring him.
"According to the order!"
After leading the decree to leave the palace, Wu Hong came to Qian'an Gate and saw Cao Jiasheng still kneeling on the ground.
Standing on the steps, Wu Hong said loudly: "The emperor ordered..."
"Minister Cao Jiasheng, respectfully listen to the oracle!"
"The emperor said that this case is strange, and there is fear that some villain may cause trouble. I have ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate strictly, and let Tao Yangbo go back and wait with peace of mind!"
Hearing this, Cao Jiasheng, who was planning to remonstrate to death, couldn't believe it for a moment.
Is this still the ruthless emperor in his impression?
"The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise!" Cao Jiasheng couldn't help shouting.
"Tao Yangbo, the emperor's dictation is not over yet!"
So Cao Jiasheng bowed down again, and Wu Hong went on to say: "The emperor also said that Tao Yangbo has worked hard and made great achievements for the country, so he sent him out of the palace in a chariot and sedan chair!"
Sending himself out of the palace in a sedan chair, Cao Jiasheng almost thought he had heard wrong.
Originally, he entered the palace to plead guilty, but not only did the emperor not blame him, he even gave him such a courteous treatment.
"I kowtow to thank the emperor for the grace of God, my emperor, long live... long live!" Cao Jiasheng kowtowed again.
At this time, several young eunuchs had already brought a small sedan chair over.
Wu Hong quickly walked down the steps, came to Cao Jiasheng's side and said, "Uncle, get on the sedan chair, and go back to take care of yourself at ease!"
Being helped up by Wu Hong, Cao Jiasheng repeatedly said: "My father-in-law, please thank the emperor on behalf of the old minister, but this chariot... the old minister really dare not accept it!"
But Wu Hong said: "Uncle, how can you not accept the reward from the emperor!"
Cao Jiasheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded quickly, he almost did something wrong.
The emperor let him go out of the palace on a chariot, besides being sympathetic to his loyal ministers, he naturally had other intentions.
Ever since, after thanking the emperor thousands of times, Cao Jiasheng left in a chariot.
In the palace at the other end, Cao Miaoyin was listening to the report.
What happened outside Qian'an Gate, the person she sent to inquire about the situation has returned, and is now describing it in detail.
After listening, Cao Miaoyin murmured: "There are treacherous people, the emperor really shines!"
Zhao Yanxun can understand this point, which means that he will not be fooled by those people, so there is no need for her, the Queen Mother, to worry.
"Giving it as a gift on a chariot not only avoids suspicion, but also demonstrates prestige. It's a good way!"
After commenting on this sentence, Cao Miaoyin immediately ordered: "Go and send a message to Uncle Tao Yang, just say that I want to see him, and let him wait outside Zhenyou's gate!"
"Yes!"
