After a while, a total of 30 craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship were called over.
"Lord Chao, the craftsmen are here.”
"Alright, you're done! I want to bring these people back for investigation.”
"This…Lord Chao, this is against the rules. Many ministers have come to borrow people…"
"Rules? I'm here on His Majesty's orders to transfer a group of craftsmen to do things. Do I still need to abide by your rules?”
Hearing Chao Cuo's words, Zheng Pei was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Plop!"
"Lord Chao, I know my sins, please show mercy! I won't dare to do it again." Zheng Pei admitted his mistake while nervously looking at Chao Cuo, smiling obsequiously,"Lord Chao, see if these people are enough. If not, I will go and find some more.”
"This official does things with special permission from the imperial power! If any minister has any objections, let him come to me. I'll let him know what imperial authority means!”
With that, Chao Cuo flicked his sleeve and left with his men.
Only after Chao Cuo had walked far away did Zheng Pei stand up shakily.
In that instant, he had felt a murderous aura from Chao Cuo, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately, Chao Cuo didn't argue with him.
"Phew…Lucky, lucky!"
……
After leaving Weiyang Palace, Chun Tuo quickly arrived at a rather remote place in the eastern part of the capital.
Yuan Ang, the former Prime Minister of the State of Wu, was later dismissed for some reason.
Because of his integrity and honesty, he could only live in such a remote place after being dismissed.
Chun Tuo arrived outside the Yuan residence. When the errand boy saw him, he hurriedly said,""Eunuch, do you want to see Deacon Yuan?”
"That's right."
"Eunuch, please wait a moment. I'll inform Deacon Yuan now.”
"Wait!" "I'll go with you." Chun Tuo waved his hand.”
Arriving at the Yuan Mansion's main hall, Yuan Ang, who was flipping through bamboo slips, saw Chun Tuo and hurriedly walked out, saying,""Eunuch Chun, please come in."
After he dismissed the people around him, Chun Tuo looked around warily and closed the door.
"Eunuch Chun, what do you mean?" Yuan Ang asked.”
Chun Tuo took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and said,""Yuan Ang, receive the decree!"
The moment he saw the imperial edict, Yuan Ang's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly knelt down and said in fear,"Commoner Yuan Ang greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty.”
"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor has decreed. Yuan Ang was granted the title of Right Fufeng and immediately took office.”
"Yuan Ang, receive the decree."
Yuan Ang kowtowed excitedly and said gratefully,""Commoner Yuan Ang, thank you for your kindness!"
Yuan Ang, who received the imperial edict, still had not recovered from his agitated emotions.
Since ancient times, there have been scholars who died for those who knew them!
For people with lofty aspirations like Yuan Ang, the Emperor was their "confidant"!
To be able to serve the Emperor, this was the blessing of their ancestors! This was a joyous occasion to bring honor to his ancestors.
Yuan Ang took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom and secretly stuffed them into Chun Tuo's hands.""Eunuch Chun, Yuan Ang is short of money.”
After accepting Yuan Ang's silver, Chun Tuo was not in a hurry to leave.
He remembered that His Majesty had told him before. There was some information that needed to be conveyed to Yuan Ang.
"Lord Yuan, if you have anything to ask, just ask.”
Yuan Ang hesitated for a moment before saying softly.
"Eunuch Chun, you are a favorite of His Majesty. Do you know why His Majesty suddenly conferred me the title of Right Fufeng? I heard that the previous Right Supporter Ji Changqing was beheaded in the Imperial Court!”
"Lord Yuan, the court is in turmoil now. Some thieves are plotting against Your Majesty! And Ji Changqing was one of them!”
Yuan Ang's expression was furious when he heard this.
"Preposterous! Everyone was responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Now that the previous emperor had passed away, the Crown Prince had taken over the throne and governed the country. It was originally the will of the heavens! These rebels actually dared to plot against His Majesty. They should be killed!”
"That's right! Now the King of Liang sent his internal history Han Anguo to frequently enter and leave the Jianghuai area. I'm afraid it's not good for Your Majesty!”
"Humph! Han Anguo! The King of Liang was rebellious. As a subject, he should have advised the King of Liang to turn over a new leaf. He did not expect him to help the tyrant!”Yuan Ang's expression flashed with a sharp light as he waved his sleeve.
"Eunuch, please rest assured. With me, Yuan Ang, here, he can forget about making waves!”
"Eunuch, go back and report to His Majesty! Yuan Ang would rather risk his life than let Han Anguo's evil scheme succeed!”
"Lord Yuan, with your words, this eunuch can rest assured. There is no time to lose. Lord Yuan should take office as soon as possible so that he can arrange many matters!”After saying that, Chun Tuo left Yuan Manor in a hurry.
Yuan Ang strode out of the room and shouted,""Men."
"Deacon Yuan."
"Pack up and follow me to the Right Windfall Office!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
After leaving Yuan Manor, Chun Tuo quickly returned to the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace.
"This servant pays his respects to Your Majesty."
Liu Che put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said calmly,""Come in."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Chun Tuo, how did it go?”
"Your Majesty, this servant has already finished giving orders to Your Majesty.”As he spoke, Chun Tuo told Liu Che about what had happened in Yuan Manor.
Liu Che nodded with satisfaction.
Although Yuan Ang was not as talented as Han Anguo in terms of learning and strategy, his loyalty to the Han Dynasty was far higher than Han Anguo.
Han Anguo's so-called 'each serving his own master' was just an excuse to help the wicked.
A smile flashed across Liu Che's eyes as he thought to himself," King of Liang, oh King of Liang, our game begins from this moment!
Chun Tuo suddenly knelt in front of Liu Che and said with a terrified expression.
"Your Majesty, there's one more thing. This servant did not do his job well. Please punish me!”
