Throughout the Song Dynasty, there were not many people who truly hated Concubine Zhang, and even fewer who dared to send assassins to kill her. But if you calculate carefully, there is indeed one person, and that is Queen Cao. The battle between the harem is a war without gunpowder. Although Empress Cao seems to be a famous empress on the surface, she is a woman after all. Since she is a woman, she has thoughts unique to women. Can she tolerate Zhang? The imperial concubine's domineering attitude, and the emperor's exclusive favor for Zhang Guifei. And Queen Cao had a good family background and was fully capable of assassinating her. After having these thoughts, Hwarang sent people to investigate Queen Cao¡¯s family background and who else is in the Cao family today. These things are basically obvious and do not waste time. Probably before evening, Hwarang got the news. The news said that Queen Cao's ancestor was a founding hero. It has been several generations now, and the family business is very large. Now the head of the Cao family is Queen Cao's younger brother, named Cao Chao. Cao Chao Because of Empress Cao's relationship, he did not enter the court as an official. He only inherited the title of his ancestors, and he was considered a wealthy and idle man. However, it is said that Cao Chao has great ambitions and has always wanted to make some achievements in the court, but because of his sister, Queen Cao, he has never been able to enter the court. After hearing the news, Hwarang nodded. If the news was true, then the person who sent the assassin was most likely Cao Chao. He must not be able to bear with his sister's swallowing her words. Besides, Concubine Zhang It was so abominable that the emperor wanted to depose the queen again and again because of Concubine Zhang, so only by killing Concubine Zhang could his sister's status as queen be preserved. Queen Cao did not give birth to a son and a half daughters for the emperor. If there is no longer the position of queen, then a hundred years after the emperor ascends to the throne, the Cao family may really be defeated. These reasons are enough for Cao Chao to kill people. But the difficulty now is how to get Cao Chao to admit that he sent a killer to kill someone. This is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, it will be equivalent to offending Queen Cao and the entire Cao family. Although Hwarang is not afraid of offending others, it is not okay for him to be hated and plotted from behind all day long. What a good thing, so you must be cautious about this matter. And just when Hwarang was having trouble with this matter, something was going on in the palace that Hwarang would never have imagined. There were only two people in the queen's chamber, Queen Cao and Cao Chao. Queen Cao looked ugly, glared at Cao Chao and said, "You sent the assassin." In front of his sister, Cao Chao had no intention of hiding anything. , nodded: "Yes, that Concubine Zhang is too hateful, and not killing her is not enough to satisfy my indignation." Empress Cao snorted coldly: "Then do you think you can hide the things you have done from anyone." Cao Cao Chao smiled: "Those assassins are all dead soldiers raised by our Cao Mansion. They can't say anything, and their backgrounds are more innocent. No matter who checks, they can't find any problems, so sister can rest assured." Empress Cao Shaking his head: "Confused, confused, how many people in the entire Song Dynasty dared to kill Concubine Zhang and wanted to kill Concubine Zhang. I'm afraid that many people are doubting you now." Hearing this, Cao Chao couldn't help but be stunned. : "This is impossible, who would have thought it was me." "Hwarang, his intelligence is definitely the best among us in the Song Dynasty. Others can't see your tricks, but Hwarang can definitely see it." Cao Chao can hear it. At these words, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in her eyes: "If he can really see it, I will kill him. No one can stop my sister's great cause." Empress Cao's face was full of indignation, and finally she couldn't help but sigh: "You let me Why don¡¯t you understand what my sister said about you? Killing Hwarang will do no good to any of us. The country of Song Dynasty is indispensable without him. Besides, you may not be able to kill him, maybe you will. Being captured by his design, listen to your sister and go to Hwarang to explain the matter clearly. " "This" Cao Chao felt that his sister was crazy. How could he explain this kind of thing to Hwarang? If Hwarang hands himself over to the emperor, I'm afraid their entire Cao family will be destroyed. Queen Cao seemed to see Cao Chao's doubts, so she said: "Go to Hwarang and say this" After Queen Cao said something, she added: "Hwarang is a person who understands the general situation, as long as you say this , He will never embarrass you again, and as long as he helps you cover up this matter, he will be a member of our Cao family from now on, do you understand?" Cao Chao's face showed a look of joy, but soon, He was confused and said: "If Hwarang refuses to forgive me, then our Cao family will be ruined. This is just like gambling." "Yes, this is gambling. Many things in the world are similar to gambling. , This is the case with choice, and the same is true with asking for help." Cao Chao regards his sister.? He still admires her very much, and he feels that his sister is very capable. It is better that when Emperor Zhao Zhen chose the queen, he would not have chosen his sister. To be honest, the entire Cao family knew very well that Queen Cao Her appearance is very ordinary, not amazing. In a harem full of beauties, she has no advantage at all, but she really became a queen. This kind of thing is definitely not as simple as luck. There was no other way, Cao Chao had no choice but to follow his sister¡¯s arrangement and go find Hwarang. It was already late when Cao Chao came to the Kaifeng government office. He came alone and did not reveal his identity when he came. Of course, after seeing Hualang, he would naturally tell him. The two sat down in Hwarang's room, with no one around. When Hwarang learned the identity of the visitor, he couldn't help but become vigilant. He had already suspected that he was in love with this person. If he learned that he had suspected that he was in love with him, then Will he kill someone because of this? In the competition for power in the court, anything can happen. Although Hwarang is not involved, some of the rules must be understood. When Hwarang learned the identity of the other party, he first showed a look of surprise, then confusion, and finally asked: "How could Uncle Guo remember this Kaifeng government official? I don't seem to know Uncle Guo." "Okay." Cao Chao saw all Hwarang's expressions. At first, he thought Hwarang was nothing more than that, but soon he found that this Hwarang was much more difficult to deal with than he thought. "Young Master Hua, it's true that we don't know each other, but I'm looking for you today because I have something important to say." Hua Lang frowned slightly, but his expression remained relaxed and said, "I don't know what Uncle Guo wants to say." "Yu Yu. I remember that Playboy was responsible for investigating the assassination in the garden. I wonder if there were any clues.¡±
