Zhu Youxiao did not let Dongchang reveal that he already knew that there was a letter written to Zhu Youjian in Cao Sicheng's study, so as not to arouse Cao Sicheng's alertness and allow the people behind him to reach a private settlement with another faction.

In this way, I can't further learn about Cao Sicheng's true background.

In order to lead the snake out of the cave, Zhu Youxiao was preparing to give the person who attempted to frame Cao Sicheng and King of True Zhu Youjian a message that he had already known about Cao Sicheng and King of True Zhu Youjian's interactions.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao deliberately called Cao Sicheng up and inquired about the situation of the censor's inspection of the Censorate who sent to various provinces in recent years.

Cao Sicheng would not have thought that His Majesty had the purpose of asking about his official affairs, so he did not think too much and reported the general information of his Censorate to Zhu Youxiao.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, smiled, and showed his praise for Cao Sicheng in his eyes, and said, "Very good. The Censorate is here to ensure the administration of the government and the civil servants. Can the dynasty be passed down for generations? You and other Censorate must be honest and self-disciplined. You must correct your greed and make sure that you have mistakes! At present, you, the Left Censor, are very good at choosing the young Censor, and they are also talented. Even the King of Xin praised you to me, saying that the Censor of the Army of the West is a very capable."

Originally, Cao Sicheng was very happy when he heard that the Emperor Zhu Youxiao was so patient to say so much to him and was praising him, but he did not expect that the emperor suddenly mentioned the letter to the king Zhu Youjian.

Even though Cao Sicheng himself didn't know that he had been found by the people from the East Factory to have a letter of contact with King Xin, he, an old official, couldn't help but feel a little alert when His Majesty suddenly mentioned King Xin, Zhu Youjian, a politically sensitive figure, and was startled to sweat.

However, Cao Sicheng knew that he could not say anything under this situation, and the more he said, the more he was, the easier it would be to make a bad thing. So he had to smile and politely express his gratitude to His Majesty for his praise and ability, and said that he would devote his efforts to the death in the future.

However, Cao Sicheng's words of thanking him did not mention a word about expressing gratitude to His Highness King Xin Zhu Youjian. This is also an indirect statement to His Majesty Emperor Zhu Youxiao: He has nothing to do with King Xin Zhu Youjian, and he is not even too lazy to thank him.

"Old fox!"

Zhu Youxiao cursed inwardly, but also smiled faintly and said nothing.

However, the ministers in the hall had a very strange expression. Li Mingrui looked as heavy as water, but his heart was full of turmoil. He was also confused. He did not mention why the emperor of King Xin Zhu Youjian suddenly mentioned King Xin, and it was mentioned in front of Cao Sicheng. Could it be that King Xin Zhu Youjian was not honest after coming to the capital? This may not be possible.

However, if King Xin is really not honest, then from his previous performance on his way back to the capital, it can only show that King Xin is not as simple as imagined, and his mind is so mature that ordinary people can achieve.

Li Mingrui couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis. He regretted not asking Emperor Zhu Youxiao to execute King Xin!

Qian Qianyi was a little proud at this time, but he did not show it intentionally, but frowned slightly, showing a sense of extreme discomfort towards His Majesty's sudden mention of His Majesty His Highness, Zhu Youjian.

Looking at the various appearances of these senior civil servants in the court, Zhu Youxiao had a strong impulse to tear away their hypocritical faces.

But in the end, Zhu Youxiao resisted the impulse in his heart. After all, in many cases, even emperors cannot be willful. Moreover, playing politics is just a worse than one's appearance. If a true gentleman is not able to stand on this temple.

"Retreat the court, if you have any questions, I will go to the Ministry of Education." Zhu Youxiao said and got up and entered the inner hall.

After shouting long live and seeing that Zhu Youxiao was gone, the officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. No civil servant felt that this was a very common thing for His Majesty Zhu Youxiao to suddenly mention the letter to Zhu Youjian.

The strong wind rose at the end of Qingping, and no one knew what signal his majesty sent, but everyone knew that the most critical figure here was Cao Sicheng, the censor of Zuodu!

After the court dispersed, almost all the officials gathered their eyes to Cao Sicheng, and even those who were familiar with Cao Sicheng couldn't help but come forward to ask a few questions.

The reason is naturally very simple. Why did His Majesty the Emperor mention King Xin Zhu Youjian and praised you instead of other ministers? Either His Majesty has secretly believed that you, the left censor Cao Sicheng, has been in love with King Xin Zhu Youjian, or you are ungrateful and have a relatively low political IQ, so you can contact a politically sensitive figure.

But no matter which situation is, it is clear that the Emperor Zhu Youxiao has expressed dissatisfaction with the incident.

Therefore, the officials did not think that Cao Sicheng would become a success because of His Majesty Emperor Zhu Youxiao's sudden praise of the Left Censor Cao Sicheng. On the contrary, anyone could guess that Cao Sicheng was probably leaving a bad impression on His Majesty Emperor.

Therefore, some officials who were self-protection began to selectively alienate their relationship with Cao Sicheng, and some officials who were about to be qualified to join the cabinet as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and even more gloating, because this at least shows that one more competitor is missing on their career path.

Cao Sicheng was not in a good mood, and he couldn't understand why His Majesty suddenly mentioned the letter to King Zhu Youjian and praised him. This was obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with his contact King Zhu Youjian.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and Cao Sicheng is not enough to understand Zhu Youxiao's thoughts. He doesn't even know how to deal with it now, and he doesn't know how to deal with the various performances of his colleagues.

Just when an official who did a good job was gloating and wanted to congratulate Cao Sicheng on being highly praised by His Majesty and His Highness Xin, the second assistant to the cabinet, Li Mingrui, suddenly appeared and shouted: "What are you doing? It's not a place for casual conversation in the palace. You are also a senior official of the court. If you ignore your own health, the censor will impeach you at that time. Don't expect me to plead for you. Let's all go away!"

Officials are still a little afraid of a hot cabinet master like Li Mingrui, so they can't say more.

When Cao Sicheng saw Li Mingrui suddenly appear to relieve himself, he was as happy as a drought and rain. He couldn't help but cry: "Thank you, Master Ge, but Master Ge, you have also seen what Your Majesty suddenly said in the court today. The official still feels that the thorn is on the back."

"Talk again after leaving the palace!"

Li Mingrui looked around and walked first, until he got on the horse (Li Mingrui had the privilege of riding a horse in the Forbidden City), and after leaving the Forbidden City, he stopped to change his sedan chair.

But after walking for a while, Li Mingrui asked the sedan chair owner to stop the sedan chair and waited for Cao Sicheng to come in the sedan chair, and then ordered people to get up again and stay with Cao Sicheng's sedan chair. The two of them talked through the curtains.
