Although Cao Zhao was surprised that it was weird that two sheep could make Cao Zhao submit by licking their hearts, he believed in Cao Su.

This bear-like brother may not be smart enough, but he is definitely not a coward. If it weren't really unbearable, Cao Su wouldn't have recruited it, at least not so quickly.

Early the next morning, Cao Zhao left satisfied. He wanted to rush back to Luoyang, report to the Son of Heaven, and reassure the Son of Heaven.

Seeing Cao Miao's methods, his confidence in Cao Miao's Jiangdong increased a few points.

Before leaving, Cao Miao asked Cao Zhao to inform the Son of Heaven that the action was imminent, and he needed more manpower, whether it was the department of the Great Sima Mansion or the school affairs of the School Affairs Department, in short, he needed some capable forces. He has limited manpower around him, and if Zhong Miao moves roughly, he may not be able to stop it.

Cao Zhao rode his horse in a hurry. Set off early in the morning and enter Luoyang City in the afternoon. He didn't have time to wash up and went straight to the main hall.

Cao Shuang stood at the door of the hall, and when he saw Cao Su coming, he waved his hand quietly. Cao Su understood, stepped aside, and asked Cao Shuang in a low voice what happened. When he entered the palace, he felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal.

"Situ Xue." Cao Shuang said in a low voice.

Cao Zhao was taken aback. He knew that Situ Wang Lang was not in good health, but he didn't hear that Wang Lang might die. It's only been a few days, why did you die? He subconsciously connected with the recent events. During his years in the DPRK, he knew that many things seemed to be unrelated, but in fact they were inextricably linked.

Even if it doesn't matter, as long as someone wants them to have a relationship, there will definitely be a relationship.

"Does Situ have a posthumous watch?"

Cao Shuang looked at Cao Zhao, and his cheeks twitched slightly. "Situ dictated the testament before his death, and his son Wang Su is presenting it to His Majesty in the palace."

Cao Zhao secretly screamed that it was not good.

As an old minister, Wang Lang was once ranked alongside Zhong Xuan and Hua Xin, and was praised as a model minister by Emperor Wen Cao Pi. They do have similarities, not only are they old and famous, but they are also former courtiers. They stood in the court of the Great Wei, which was the symbol of the Mandate of Heaven in Wei.

Now that Zhong Xuan has moved to the Taifu, and Hua Xin has just moved to the Young Master, they are all fictitious positions in name only, there is no major event, and they will not go to the court. The only remaining Situ Wang Lang died, and the three former ministers all disappeared from the court.

The Son of Heaven has just ascended the throne for three years, and such a major change has occurred, which is inevitably a little anxious, and it is easy to cause a backlash.

Wang Lang has a testament, and it is not a handwritten letter, how much of it is what Wang Lang wants to say, and how many are what others want to say through Wang Lang's mouth, who can tell clearly? As the Son of Heaven, you must maintain the necessary respect for the old ministers, not to mention the old ministers who have passed away, even if those opinions are not very popular, you can't leave a thin face.

All in all, a bloodless confrontation could unfold at any moment.

Cao Zhao was both happy and uneasy. Fortunately, Hao Zhao and Xiahou Ji had just repelled Zhuge Liang, and there was nothing wrong in Guanzhong. In addition, the gradual implementation of Xiahou Mao's proposal in Guanzhong Tuntian, the situation in Guanzhong will get better and better, and it will not have an adverse impact on the situation in the DPRK. The uneasy thing is that Zhuge Liang has been frustrated, and there will be less restraint on Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan's willingness to become emperor will be stronger, and Cao Miao and others must act immediately.

When Sun Quan became emperor, the significance of Cao Miao going to Jiangdong again was much weaker.

Cao Zhao had something on his mind, so he hurriedly went to wash up, ate food, and waited outside the hall. The Son of Heaven received Wang Su for a long time, and it was not until the beginning of the war that Wang Su said goodbye and left the palace.

Cao Zhao saluted Wang Su and expressed his condolences. Wang Su expressed his gratitude and left in a hurry.

Cao Zhao entered the hall and saw the Son of Heaven sitting behind the desk, stretching out his hand and pinching his eyebrows, looking tired.

"Your Majesty." Cao Zhao stepped forward and saluted and called softly.

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Long thought, Rong Zhen drink saliva and moisten his throat." This Wang Su is too capable of speaking. ”

Cao Zhao wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it. Wang Su is not only good at learning, but also good at argumentation, and even some people have no one in their eyes, even Zheng Xuan, the great Confucian of Beihai, who is bent on establishing his own cultural system. Over time, he has developed a good eloquence, quoting scriptures, and few can speak of him.

"Your Majesty, maybe the Gaoyang Township Duke can deal with him."

The Son of Heaven was stunned for a moment, "poof", and laughed dumbly. He shook his hand. "Long thought, this joke can't be made. Wang Su is not Zhong Yu, he is a real erudite Confucian, and Yun Liang's sophistries are useless to him. ”

Cao Zhao did not argue. "Your Majesty is very true."

The waiter brought two bowls of porridge, and the Son of Heaven picked up one bowl and motioned for Cao Zhao to take it himself. While drinking porridge, he said, "Tell me, how is this trip?" ”

Cao Zhao did not serve porridge. He'd already eaten it just now. He rolled up his sleeves and fanned the hot porridge, and at the same time told the Son of Heaven what he had seen and heard on this trip. When he mentioned that Cao Miao said that Wang Ji was a rumor-monger, the Son of Heaven had just finished drinking a bowl of porridge, and his eyes shrank.

"Wang Ji? Is it true or false? ”

"The minister didn't dare to assert."

The Son of Heaven snorted and threw the bowl in his hand on the table, with a soft "click". He frowned, groaned for a moment, and smacked his lips again. "Changsi, why didn't you ask beforehand? Wang Ji is dead, even if there are any grievances, it should be cleared. If you get involved with him again, there will be trouble, and Yunliang's move will not know the seriousness. ”

Cao Zhao didn't dare to speak. After a while, the Son of Heaven regained his composure, picked up another bowl of porridge, and motioned for Cao Zhao to continue.

Cao Zhao went on to say that Cao Miao asked them to torture Zhong Tai, and after confirming Zhong Tai's tenacity, he arranged for him to go to Jiangdong to lurk and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Sun Quan.

The Son of Heaven nodded again and again, revealing a hint of a smile. "That's a good idea. Zhong Tai is the lieutenant of Xielu, who is familiar with Yale, and is exactly the talent that Sun Quan urgently needs to ascend the throne. It is very likely that he will infiltrate the court musicians of the Wu Kingdom, and it is hoped that he can gradually deviate from the story and kill Sun Quan in one fell swoop. Long thought, you see, Yunliang was born to do this. He is more suitable for the outside world than the court fight, as long as he can succeed, he can do whatever it takes. ”

"Your Majesty is wise and knows people well." Cao Zhao said sincerely. He also thought of this, but not as quickly as the Son of Heaven.

"Yunliang has little wisdom and more than cunning, but he has no scholarship and is not worthy of the position of a minister. Think long, don't be presumptuous. You have great wisdom and are the pillars of the country. The Son of Heaven drank a few sips of porridge, and couldn't help laughing: "'Don't say anything about death', this is too bad." If it weren't for the fact that you knew the severity and didn't take the big punishment, you really killed Zhong Tai, and it would be a trouble. ”

Cao Zhao hesitated. They didn't take the big punishment, in fact, Cao Miao said it first. In fact, in a hurry, Cao Su had a plan to make a heavy hand, but Cao Miao had an explanation, and he stopped Cao Su, so he didn't break Zhong Tai, just some flesh wounds.

But the Son of Heaven had already praised him, so he couldn't say that Cao Miao had confessed in advance, so he had to be vague.

Cao Zhao talked about Cao Miao's torture of Cao Su again. After hearing this, the Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and scratched the soles of his feet.

"It's just a sheep's heart, is it so uncomfortable?"
