Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1166

When they arrived at the training ground, Lord Hua Guo seemed to have finished his cultivation and was wiping the weapons with a handkerchief.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around. Seeing Yun Shang, he quickly put down the blade and handkerchief in his hand, and took two steps forward to salute.

Yun Shang hurriedly held him up and said, "Grandfather, don't be so courteous. I have something to consult grandfather today. "

Lord Hua Guo didn't refuse. He said in a deep voice, "It's in a mess here. Let's go to the yard and have a talk."

After entering the yard, Lord Hua Guo asked someone to pour two cups of tea. Then he looked up at Yun Shang and asked, "Have all the affairs in the court been dealt?"

Yun Shang shook her head and lowered her eyes slightly. " It's not easy. There are so many vacancies in the court. After all, it's a matter related to the state, so we can't be impatient. We can only take it step by step."

"You're right. It can't be dealt in a hurry." Lord Hua Guo took a big sip of tea and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Yun Shang told Lord Hua Guo what had happened briefly and asked, "Do you know Cao

Zhan?" "I have been in the court with Cao Zhan for more than 20 years, and I know about him. But he is a civil official and I'm a general, we don't talk much and don't know much about each other. "

"I only know that Cao Zhan had been in Cangzhou before. He had excellent political performance for three consecutive years and was well-known among the people, so he was promoted and moved to the Jin City. When Cao Zhan's family moved to the Jin City, they used over a hundred carriages to carry their things. At that time, they attracted the attention of countless people in the Jin City. "

"Because of this, some people suspect that Cao Zhan was so rich because of his greed for money when he was working in Cangzhou. They even asked the emperor to investigate it carefully. The emperor did send someone to investigate. He found out that the Cao clan where Carlson was from was a century old famous family in Cangzhou, and it had a very rich family. In addition, his brother was good at business, and his business was all over the state of Xia, accumulating a lot of wealth. On the contrary, Cao Zhan often took out his own money to relieve the poor people in Cangzhou, and everyone in Cangzhou knew about it. After the investigation result came out, the emperor even gave Cao Zhan a big reward in the morning court." "Cao Zhan worked very hard and dealt with things properly. Although I'm a general, I've heard a lot of people praise him. Cao Zhan is hardworking and has a rich family. His family members are generous and good at socializing. In the following twenty years, Cao Zhan has been promoted several times, and his promotion speed is also very fast. "

Hearing Lord Hua Guo's words, Lady Hua Guo quickly added, "Moreover, in the past twenty years after the Cao clan moved to the Jin City, the Cao clan has tried every means to develop relationship with many noble clans through marriages. The eldest son of Cao Zhan has married Princess Fugui."

"Marriage?" Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. She always felt that she had ignored something before. But now when she heard Lady Hua Guo's words, she suddenly understood.

Yes, she ignored the marriage.

Including the pamphlet that Cao Han had handed over to her before, which recorded the relationship between the Cao clan and their collateral relatives, but did not record the marriage relationship of the Cao clan.

There must be some clues hidden in the things they deliberately hid.

Lord Guo nodded and said, "I don't know much about the marriage. As civil officials and military officials always look down upon each other. We don't know too much about each other. But the rumors I heard about him are mostly good. People praised him for his good behavior, honesty and political performance. "

"But I always feel that among the civil officials, there must be something wrong with the one who is praised by everyone."
