Hearing Cao Chao ask such a question, Hwarang became even more vigilant. If you say that you have been investigated, you are suspected of being the one who sent the assassin, then in such a small space, will Cao Chao suddenly attack you. Many things are uncertain, so Hwarang smiled calmly and said: "I haven't found anything yet. I just think that Qian Yun is suspicious. Uncle Cao Guo is here, but I have any clues that I want to provide online. " Cao Chao looked at Hua Lang and kept thinking about the truth or falsehood of his words. Soon, he found that things were more complicated than he thought. So at this time, he shrugged and said: "There are indeed clues to Hua Lang. Young Master provided it, but after what he said, Young Master Hua may be in trouble. "Hwarang still doesn't understand what Cao Chao's intention is, but he is not too worried, because even if Cao Chao really wants to kill someone, he is not afraid. , there are many people who are suspicious of Cao Chao now, it is possible that he wants to kill them all one by one. "Uncle Guo, just say whatever you want. I will make my own decision on whether it is difficult or not." Cao Chao nodded: "Actually, what I want to say is that I was the one sent to assassinate Concubine Zhang." Hwarang was stunned. He was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Cao Chao came to him to talk about this matter. He thought to himself, could it be that Cao Chao wanted to surrender, but when he thought about it carefully, it was obviously a little impossible. The crime of assassinating a noble concubine is not a small one. Even if Cao Chao is the uncle of the state, if he kills the emperor's most favored concubine, the emperor's family will be confiscated and his family will be exterminated. "Cao Chao is not an idiot. He cannot surrender. Besides, if he surrenders, Queen Cao will ignore him." Hwarang smiled: "Uncle Guo is really good at joking. How could you kill Concubine Zhang because of your noble status? You will never risk your life and wealth." Although Hwarang said this, his expression But he told Cao Chao that he believed Cao Chao was the murderer. Cao Chao noticed Hwarang's expression, so he could only follow Empress Cao's instructions and continue: "What I said is true. I did send people to kill Zhang Guifei, but I only sent people to kill Zhang Guifei." , but did not send anyone to assassinate the emperor. When I found out that the situation had changed, I was shocked. "After Cao Chao said these words, Hwarang chose to remain silent, because he felt that there was nothing to ask. Before you understand Cao Chao's intention of saying this, it's better not to say anything. Cao Chao here, seeing Hwarang silent, could not help but frown slightly, but he continued: "Young Master Hua doesn't want to know the reason why I killed Concubine Zhang." Hwarang smiled: "After hearing what Uncle Guo said, After that, I really want to hear why Uncle Guo must kill Concubine Zhang. Is it for Empress Cao?" Cao Chao smiled lightly: "For this reason, my sister is the queen, but because of Concubine Zhang, The emperor wanted to depose the queen over and over again. He asked himself that my sister had not done anything immoral. If she was deposed like this, would my Cao family be unjust? " "The emperor wants to depose her as a queen. , I'm afraid it's not easy. It would be unreasonable to kill Concubine Zhang just because of this." Hwarang looked at Cao Chao and expressed his opinion, but what Hwarang said was not true. He refuted what Cao Chaocai said, but that was what he originally thought. If Cao Chao really killed Zhang Guifei because of this, then Hwarang will never spare this person. "Of course, what I just said is only one reason why I sent people to assassinate Concubine Zhang. The other reason is that for the prosperity and stability of our Song Dynasty, the current emperor is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people. His benevolent government can be compared with Emperor Wu of the Han and Tang Dynasties was comparable to Taizong, but because of the existence of Concubine Zhang, the emperor repeatedly acted contrary to the saintly virtue of the emperor. First, he helped Concubine Zhang's family seek official positions. If Bao Zheng hadn't warned him not to do so, I'm afraid I would be a big man now. There will be a Yang Guozhong of the Tang Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. I am afraid that the glorious career of the Song Dynasty will also come to an end. " "In addition, the treacherous ministers in the court frequently attached themselves to Concubine Zhang, making Concubine Zhang increasingly arrogant. , If a figure like An Lushan appears among such treacherous ministers, let me ask Hua Gong, is it possible for our Song Dynasty to have a situation like the Anshi Rebellion? " "Although these are all speculations, it can be done for a woman. , I, the Yingming Emperor of the Song Dynasty, repeatedly made unforeseen actions, so it would not be surprising if something big would suddenly happen in the future. As a minister of the Song Dynasty, I naturally have to think about the foundation of the Song Dynasty. I must not Let the emperor ruin his reputation and the glory of the Song Dynasty because of a woman." After Cao Chao finished speaking, his face turned red, as if he couldn't help but feel angry because of what he just said. Hwarang was silent. He had been thinking about what Cao Chao said.?Of course, he was not thinking about whether Cao Chao might have thought of this, but he was thinking about whether there would really be a Yang Guozhong and the Anshi Rebellion in the Song Dynasty if Zhang Guifei had not died. Possible or impossible, some people say that history follows a pattern. If Zhao Zhen¡¯s love for Concubine Zhang is the same as that of Emperor Ming of Tang and Concubine Yang, then it seems absolutely possible that something similar will happen. And if this is really the case, then what Cao Chao did was really for the emperor and the Song Dynasty. However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Hwarang quickly saw the essence of Cao Chao's words. He sent people to assassinate Concubine Zhang for the sake of Empress Cao, and the words he just said were just for the sake of upright justice. . But after listening to his majestic words of justice, it was impossible to say a single word "no". After a long time, Hwarang asked: "Uncle Guo said so much, what do you want?" Cao Chao saw that Hwarang's reaction was very calm, and he was somewhat unsure, but he finally stated his purpose: "Assassination." Concubine Zhang, this is a serious crime. If Young Master Hua hands me over, the Emperor will definitely reward you. And I came here just to know what Young Master Hua means." Hua Lang already understood Cao Chao's intention. He wanted to draw Hwarang into the camp of their Cao family, but was Hwarang willing to go? Hwarang was a little hesitant, but it didn¡¯t take long. He smiled and said, "Uncle Guo made a righteous speech just now, let me How can I surrender you? If I surrender you, wouldn¡¯t I be harming the hero who safeguarded the peace of the country?¡± Although there was a hint of irony in Hwarang¡¯s words, it was undeniable. He has made his attitude clear.
