When Su Hejun asked to see Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Tao had just ordered someone to send Helian Mingzhu away.
Because Wei Guo wants to save the face of Helianding and Xia Guo as much as possible, then Helian Pearl must not be able to return to her identity as "the eunuch by His Majesty's side", so it needs a suitable opportunity and reason to give Helian Pearl Reappear in front of people in a different identity.
The little eunuch "Zhao Ming" will gradually disappear from people's sight.
This needs to be done step by step, so Tuoba Tao only ordered Helian Mingzhu not to leave the place where he lives recently, which is his side hall, and it is best not to come out to see people often.
This means that before Tuoba Tao thought of how to place Helian Pearl, Helian Pearl could not follow Tuoba Tao in the palace like before.
As for the "responsibility" that Tuoba Tao said, it naturally refers to what happened after she regained her status as "Princess Xia".
Perhaps it was Helian Mingzhu's stunned appearance when he left, which greatly pleased Tuoba Tao, so that Su Hejun reported what he hated the most about the five stone powder, and it was also related to the two emerging young generals, Tuoba Tao. Tao also just frowned, not furious.
"One Sword"
"The person who framed Di Yefei should be a minister who knew me well. He knew that Cui Aiqing and I hated Wushi Powder, so we chose to use it to lure him. Sure enough, he was born in a poor family, so his temperament and knowledge were not enough? seduced by something…”
Tuoba Tao was a little cold-hearted that Di Yefei was easily deceived.
"No, it has nothing to do with my background. How could I have been infected with the faults of those nobles..." Tuoba Tao said to himself, "Hua Mulan also came from a poor family, so she has no such weakness. That's because Di Yefei is too inferior... Hey, I was right in choosing Hua Mulan instead of Di Yefei. Even if such a young man is outstanding, he will need to be taught by Cui Aiqing for a few years before he can use it..."
This is the most common problem for young people from poor families. Because the clan is now in chaos, there are many factions in the court, and almost all of the poor clan are in low-ranking official positions. It is more difficult than others to get ahead, so they are more concerned about the opinions of others, and as soon as they find an opportunity, they will immediately go head-to-head.
In the eyes of the nobility, this is a bit of a sham, and it is natural to despise them, while young people from humble backgrounds, because they can't find a sense of respect and belonging, either become extreme and narrow, or they have high self-esteem, such as He Mulan was so upright and peaceful, it was rare indeed.
This is the psychological damage caused to the cold scholars in this era, and even Tuoba Tao can't do anything about it. No matter how polite and corporal he is, no matter how he balances the situation in the DPRK and China, the hurdles in people's hearts are difficult to smooth out. These monks who came out of the poor family still have a distinction between the noble and the low in their hearts, so how can they act without being humble or arrogant
Tuoba Tao knew that when he showed that he wanted to attach importance to young talents in the army, especially those from ordinary families, it would definitely shake the situation in the DPRK and China, causing countless people to react and retaliate, but he didn't expect this to happen. fast.
Even before the order to seal the reward was given, it was already shot.
And everyone knows that Di Yefei is Mulan's friend. Di Yefei is infected with this kind of thing, which will lead people to think whether Mulan is also using this in private. The private life of young people who use Wu Shi San is very lewd. If you think of Di Yefei as a woman, and Hua Mulan as best friends, it will be a mess, and the reputation of the two will be ruined.
It is not enough to rely on "talent" alone to choose scholars from poor families. Because the North is considered a barbarian, it is more serious about "virtue" and "action" than the Southern Dynasty. When Tuoba Tao wanted to recruit a large number of young officials and generals, what kind of scandal of Longyang's goodness and madness would be exposed. , was a huge blow to him.
While watching Tuoba Tao's face, Su Hejun wondered how he could say good things to Di Yefei and Hua Mulan without a trace.
"Your Majesty, according to what Di Yefei said, this thing was given by a disciple who Cui Taichang personally asked him to write, so this disciple has a serious suspicion. Now no one knows that we have discovered their sinister intentions, so it is reasonable to put Cui Taichang. It's just to ask quietly. He probably hasn't left the palace yet."
Su Hejun thought of Cui Hao and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
This adult is a truly amazing and brilliant generation. Whether it is astronomy and geography, a hundred schools of thought, or the strategy of governing the country and the art of war, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with it. Precisely because he is too smart, there is a problem with a smart person, which is conceit.
In the court, although he was the head of civil servants, even many Han people disliked him. Because he is arrogant, and cherishes his reputation, he often has many disciples clinging to him. He was born in the No. 1 gentry in the north, and his family is amazing. It is also the elegance of these gentry to raise a group of disciples, so it is difficult for others to talk about it.
But he has too many disciples, and his talents are not as good as him, and very few of them can be used.
Cui Hao also knew that these disciples were of mixed quality. Once they found bad deeds, they would drive them out. The disciples who were driven out naturally hated Cui Hao, and often made some slanderous acts of villains. Since Su Hejun was in charge of the Egret official, he did not know how many such small troubles he has solved under Tuoba Tao's advice. Therefore, Cui Hao is an extremely useful and capable minister, but in the way of the emperor, there is Wei Wei. The ills that literati have had since the Jin Dynasty.
Su Hejun and Tuoba Tao naturally did not know that this was caused by the absence of the imperial examination system in this era. Whether a talent is good or not, besides looking at recommendations, it is to listen to reputation, but I don't know how many people in this world have fake reputation. Capable people don't necessarily have virtues. Once they are too useful to be used and thrown out, they will become enemies.
Cui Hao is arrogant and conceited, and also hopes to get the reputation of "Li Xian Corporal", so his followers come and go quickly, fortunately his family is a big family, and the family is very strict. What a disaster.
But if it continues like this, Cui Hao will be surrounded by a whirlpool that keeps pulling his legs. He still doesn't know what will happen, causing harm to others and himself.
Tuoba Tao and Su Hejun had long wanted to use some pretext to beat Cui Hao's lax subordinates. He knew people, but there were too many people under him, and he couldn't manage them at all. Tuoba Tao didn't like it either. He raised so many wastes, just to enjoy flowers and have fun in his spare time, and come to a few arty people.
In addition, Cui Hao respects Taoism, and there are many Taoist priests and nuns in his family.
Because of Tuoba Tao's dislike, the five-stone powder was not available everywhere. If it was said that the five-stone powder obtained by the customer didn't have the help of the Taoist priest in Cui Hao's family, Tuoba Tao would not believe it at all.
'Dead Daoist friend is not dead poor Daoist, Mr. Cui, you have always been trusted by His Majesty. I borrowed you to block the knife. I will thank you for your unworthy disciple. '
Su Hejun pulled out Cui Hao, pondered in their hearts, and then went to see Tuoba Tao. Sure enough, seeing that His Majesty was not entangled in the matter of Di Yefei's mind, he changed his words.
"That's right. Sooner or later, the group of patrons around Cui Aiqing will have bad things. I was not good at meddling in his family affairs before, but now I have this opportunity, and I really need to clean up." Tuoba Tao knew that many people disliked Cui Hao's "highness". , The helpless gentry is this tune, he has high capital.
Even if he is a monarch, if he makes such a proposal, he will not be ignored if people love him. Otherwise, so many gentry and clansmen would have to worry about the "family affairs" of his courtiers.
But it is different now. Because of Cui Hao's negligence towards this disciple and the reasons for his unclear employment, the two promising young men in the DPRK and China were almost destroyed. To be reasonable, Tuoba Tao has the qualifications to beat.
"How fortunate is Di Yefei to be able to get the help of a slick-mouthed person like you." Tuoba Tao glanced at Su Hejun, "I'm afraid that the plotter never thought that Di Yefei would be able to come forward, and you are behind to make plans. So I figured that when you came to tell me, you helped Di Yefei to say good things."
He has been the emperor for so many years, of course, he can see the careful thinking of Su Hejun.
"But a Di Yefei, I probably won't be able to ask you for help, is it Hua Mulan?"
Su Hejun never thought that he could hide from Tuoba Tao, and immediately said with a hilarious smile: "Hua Mulan said that he will definitely let Di Yefei quit Wu Shi San, and he will not let him ruin his future and reputation, please don't let me go. I inexplicably thought that if I had a hard time at sunset, someone would help me... Hey, it's actually for Mulan, Your Majesty's guess is right."
"Why are you feeling sentimental like a woman, you are by my side, who else can let you fail?" Tuoba Tao thought of something that touched his heart after laughing and laughing. : "Go out of the palace to find a palace servant and call Cui Hao quietly. This Di Yefei thing..."
His face froze.
"Recently, after years of great victories, these clowns jumping from the beam has also risen, and they are worried that others will take a share of their pie. If I don't teach them a lesson, I think that my big Wei victory is really theirs. If the people they recommend can use it, Why should I plan this way?"
Tuoba Tao thought for a while, and then said to Su Hejun:
"You will go to Hua Mulan later, and tell her quietly, and let her make this a big issue. It's best to toss the army and Gaoche people to fight for Di Yefei. I will talk about Cui Hao's side. I don't want Cui Hao to get involved too much with the army, he was already eye-catching when he took Di Yefei, and this is just the time to let him retreat a little."
"Your Majesty, if you do this, Cui Taichang and Hua Mulan will be embarrassed in the future..."
Su Hejun couldn't help but stay for a while when he thought that Hua Mulan needed support from all parties.
"What is Hua Mulan's background, how can she need the support of the Han people? The more she makes Cui Hao come down from power, the more the military and the Xianbei clan will support her. I don't need her to become an official in the court, and she has no temperament. It is suitable for these conspiracies, and it will only be a waste to waste time in the DPRK."
Tuoba Tao's eyes were terrifyingly bright, and he seemed to have already played a game of chess in his heart.
"Everyone knows that Di Yefei and Hua Mulan are close friends. Now I use her hand to uproot these young officials, which is also a kind of protection for her. Her background is too low. I'm afraid that one day she will be as bad as Di Yefei."
He said word by word:
"After all, darkness, arrows, difficulty, defense."
"Your Majesty values Hua Mulan so much, it really makes me jealous." Su Hejun showed an expression of envy and hatred, winked and said, "Hey, hey, in a few years, I think I will fall out of favor..."
"Go go go run errands for me!"
Tuoba Tao scolded him with a smile.
"I'm looking at you now!"
"It's really since ancient times that I've only seen new people laugh, and old people cry there..." Su Hejun ran out of the hall while pretending to cry, and Tuoba Tao was also smiling. After a while, his face suddenly changed.
"Su Hejun, who told you you said you went to Di Yefei and Hua Mulan?"
"Huh? Didn't I say it? It was Hua Mulan who asked me to help from someone from the King of Yingchuan. Hua Mulan used to be his old general. Everyone knows that it's normal to help..."
Su Hejun only felt that his footsteps suddenly became heavy, and some did not dare to think deeply about the reason why His Majesty asked.
"Is it Kumoti? I'm probably thinking wrong. Well, the person who murdered Di Yefei probably didn't think he would use this even when he entered the palace, maybe it was just by accident..."
After Tuoba Tao heard that it was Kumoti, he immediately overturned the thoughts in his heart and continued to wave his hand.
"I'm just asking, you don't have to think about it."
Su Hejun only felt that his footsteps were light, and the air in the whole room began to flow again.
It was only when he pushed the door out of the hall and was blown by the night wind that Lingling shivered.
It turned out that the cold sweat had just broken out on the back, but now it was blown to the bone.
"Hey, why is it so messy, I hope innocent people won't be involved."
Su Hejun regretted helping Hua Mulan for a while.
After a while, Cui Hao came in a hurry, his face was not very good-looking, and his footsteps lost his usual calmness. Since the front hall has been drinking happily recently, and Cui Hao has been summoned by the emperor several times before, it is not dazzling for him to leave the table, but it still attracts the attention of many people.
There were people who left the palace this night, and almost all of them left before midnight. Only Cui Hao was left until late at night, and even stayed in the palace.
In addition to Cui Hao, many drunk heroes were also left in the palace. This was the grace of Tuoba Tao, and no one would say that they were disrespectful.
In this way, the absence of Di Yefei, Hua Mulan and Cui Hao would be hard to be noticed.
But on the second day, a great event happened in Beijing.
Hua Mulan, the young general who made outstanding achievements in the Northern Expedition to Rouran, went to Cui Hao's house to make trouble, not only wounding the general guarding the door, but also nearly killing a guest.
Along with Hua Mulan, there were quite a few sons and daughters in the army, as well as the attendants beside Gu Bi, and the youngest sons of several families.
And this general Huwei, who was praised for his integrity and virtuousness, actually held injustice for Di Yefei, a new disciple of Cui Hao.
For a time, the originally noisy Pingcheng was stirred up even more.
