Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Cao Zhi took the initiative to interrupt. "Zhong Shilang, among several old ministers, although Taifu is not the longest, his energy is the best. is old and has a son, comparable to Uncle Liang Su. Having these old ministers and auxiliary ministers is the blessing of Great Wei and the blessing of His Majesty. ”

The Son of Heaven sighed: "It's a pity that Situ is not in good health, so the Taiwei has a slight illness and can't go to court." The years are not forgiving, and the elders left by Emperor Wu will eventually abandon me one by one. Even though I am the Son of Heaven, I have no choice but to do what the destiny is. He sighed a few times in succession, looking lonely.

Zhong Yu lowered his eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and was silent for a moment. "Your Majesty, Taiwei has accompanied Emperor Wu on many expeditions to the west, and he has a deep understanding of the situation in Guanzhong. If Your Majesty can ask the Captain, you will definitely get something. ”

Cao Zhi said: "What the squire said is very true, but the Taiwei has just been injured in an attack, so it is not appropriate to disturb it." ”

The Son of Heaven also said: "After the Taiwei returned to Beijing, did he go to visit the Taifu?" ”

Zhong Yu's eyes flashed slightly. "The minister is on duty in the palace, and he doesn't know what is going on outside the city, so he doesn't dare to say anything. Rong Chen understood, and then replied. He paused, and then said: "King Yongqiu also accompanied Emperor Wu to the east and west, Guanzhong to conquer Ma Chao, and Hanzhong to conquer Zhang Lu, I know very well. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu committed Xiangfan, and Emperor Wu also had high hopes for King Yongqiu. With such a minister by his side, why should His Majesty turn to others. ”

Tianzi's face was even more ugly, and he couldn't hold a smile on his face. This is a blatant satire of him.

"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, the minister will retire first." Zhong Yu bowed, took two steps back, and turned to leave. He walked unhurriedly, his body was upright, and he seemed to be holding a wat board in his arched hands, like a court, with a serious and inviolable expression.

The Son of Heaven watched Zhong Yu go away from the corner of his eye, his expression gradually eased, and he let out a long sigh.

Cao Zhi's face was red and white for a while. The dissatisfaction of the ministers with the imperial court came from two aspects: one was the change of the Son of Heaven to Emperor Wen's old system, and the other was hostility towards him. At the time of the struggle for succession, the current ministers of the court were either supporters of Emperor Wen or neutrals, and there were almost no supporters of him. He was valued by the Son of Heaven and touched almost everyone's nerves.

"Your Majesty......"

The Son of Heaven waved his hand. "Uncle Huang, go and see the captain. However, don't expect the captain to do much, the battle in Guanzhong depends on whether the general can deal with it properly. You say, do you want to transfer the right general Zhang He to reinforce and help the general? ”

Cao Zhi thought of Cao Miao's advice and hesitated for a moment. The war in Guanzhong is no longer just a matter of Guanzhong, not just a matter of the general Cao Zhen, but a matter involving the stability of the court and the face of the Son of Heaven. In the case of Cao Xiu's defeat, if Cao Zhen makes another mistake, the ministers will attack him en masse.

However, Cao Miao's idea also makes sense. The victory or defeat in Guanzhong is only a temporary gain or loss, as long as the Son of Heaven is stable, it will not affect the overall situation. It is of more far-reaching significance to stabilize Jing Xiang and let a henchman like Biqiu Jian grow up.

"Does Your Majesty think the general can take on this important task?"

"General...... Poor health. The Son of Heaven sighed, angry in his heart. Annoyed that Cao Shuang didn't know the general situation, he knew that the Neidan technique had the effect of health preservation, but because he couldn't afford it, he refused to bow his head to Cao Miao for help. He was angry with Cao Miao again, cherished himself with immortal skills, and fought with Cao Shuang.

He didn't know the significance of Zhang He's stay in Jingxiang for the overall situation, but what if Cao Zhen fell ill and led to the rout of Guanzhong?

The best thing to do is, of course, to pro-enlist, as at the beginning of the year. But at this moment, how dare he leave Luoyang.

Looking at Cao Zhi, who was blaming himself on the side, the Son of Heaven suddenly had an idea. "Uncle Huang, you have to work hard. Go to the labor army in Guanzhong and express my condolences to the general. ”

——

Sima Yi struggled to get up and salute, his face showed a look of pain, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his face was flushed.

Cao Zhi stepped forward and reached out and tapped his shoulder. "Lone is ordered by His Majesty to come to visit, the captain does not have to be formal, lie down in peace, so as not to move and wound." He looked at the cloth around Sima Yi's waist and asked with concern, "Have you ever hurt your internal organs?" ”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly. "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the King, it's just a flesh wound, not a viscera. It's just that the old minister is incompetent, and the father and son are injured by the bandits, this face is ...... But it was all lost. He shook his head and sighed with a look of shame.

Cao Zhi sat down on the seat next to the couch and said: "The child is not in a state, the Taiwei is important, and it is a rare blessing to be married, but it is a shame that he failed to protect the Taiwei family." This is the fault of being alone in upbringing, and I hope that Taiwei Haihan. If there is a reproach, you deserve it alone. ”

Sima Yi raised his hand and shook it gently. "The king doesn't have to be like this, otherwise Yi will have no place to live. The king is accompanied, the state affairs are heavy, and he can't get out, and Yi shouldn't have bothered the king for the affairs of his children. Seeing the townsman, Yi was also an eye-opener, consciously like a frog at the bottom of the well, wanting to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and not measuring his own strength. ”

"Why did the Captain say that?" Cao Zhi became vigilant. Sima Yi said this, which is not a good thing.

Sima Yi cautiously shifted his body, looked at Cao Zhi, and smiled weakly. "My lord, with all due respect, although you are well-versed in the past and the present, you are outstanding in the world. Compared with the township, it is inferior by three points. The little girl is not able to understand the scriptures, she is not a middle-aged person, and she wants to serve the broom for the township, which is really wishful thinking. In the past two days, Yi has been thinking about whether it is time for His Majesty to choose another good woman for the township prince and preside over the affairs of the township prince, so that he can serve the court without worries. ”

He gasped for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, what a pity." ”

Cao Zhi was in a cold sweat when he heard this. After driving with him for so long, he knew in his heart that Cao Rong, the son of heaven, seemed to trust Cao Miao, but in fact he was suspicious, but it was just inconvenient to say it. If Sima Yi praised Cao Miao in a book, it would inevitably aggravate the doubts of the Son of Heaven.

From another point of view, Sima Yi is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and when he is a court captain, if his daughters are not worthy of Cao Miao, then whose daughters can be worthy of Cao Miao? In addition to the Xiahou clan from Qian Pei, I am afraid that there are only high-ranking families such as Xun Chenzhong of Ruying.

This is obviously not something that the Son of Heaven is happy to see.

"Taiwei praises, how dare dogs." Cao Zhi shook his head with a wry smile. "The dog lost his mother at a young age, and he was lonely and lost in discipline, so he was stubborn and mad, and this marriage was originally a burden of loneliness. It's a blessing to be able to get the captain and not give up. Don't hide it from the Taiwei that he came this time to discuss with the Taiwei and see ......"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Zhi in surprise. "The king means ......"

Cao Zhi nodded solemnly. "If the captain doesn't dislike the dog's stubbornness and shamelessness, he wants to settle this family business." He deliberately said: "Your Majesty also means this. ”

Sima Yi bowed his head slightly and muttered for a moment. "But the townsman is not very satisfied with the little girl, is he a little wronged by doing this?"

Cao Zhi said: "Marriage matters, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers, how can he call the shots." ”

Sima Yi smiled: "The king is good, Yi Xin has it." However, husband and wife are one of the norms, not only to see the door, but also to see whether they have the same temperament. The little girl is stupid, but the townsman is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he can't complain that he doesn't look down on the little girl. In this way, the king went back to discuss with the townsman, if he also had this intention and was willing to surrender to the noble, Yi would wait for good news, how about it? ”
