Cao Miao sat on the hillside, stretched her neck, and looked at Cao Zhi who was climbing the stairs, doubting and worrying in her heart.

At this time, it was the time when the undercurrent of the court situation was surging, Cao Zhi did not stay in the palace to assist the government, what did he do here?

Could it be that the Son of Heaven couldn't bear the pressure and decided to sacrifice Cao Zhi?

However, judging from Cao Zhi's walking strength and his expression when he occasionally looked up, he didn't look like he had been demoted from the court. As for whether he recently had a city government, or whether the situation was not as serious as imagined, it is difficult to say.

Cao Miao asked Hongxing to prepare a little tea and then a little food. Coming from the city at this hour, Cao Zhi probably hasn't eaten yet.

Sure enough, Cao Zhi came to Cao Miao, and before he could get down to business, he crossed his waist first, panted and said, "Is there anything to eat, I haven't eaten lunch yet." ”

Qingtao took the Hu bed, invited Cao Zhi to take a seat, and the red apricot served the food. Cao Zhi was not polite, holding a fat cake in one hand, a teapot in the other, a mouthful of cake and a mouthful of tea, gobbling it up, the wind swept the clouds, and Cao Miao frowned.

"Where did Father come from?"

"Taiwei's Mansion." Cao Zhi wiped his mouth and said today's itinerary.

He left the palace early in the morning, first went to the Taiwei Mansion, visited Sima Yi on behalf of the Son of Heaven, exchanged opinions on the battlefield in Guanzhong, and then went out of the city and rushed to Buzhou Villa. Knowing that Cao Miao was on the mountain, he climbed all the way up the mountain, and he was tired enough.

If you haven't been exercising lately, you can't stand it.

The Son of Heaven wanted to send him to Guanzhong to work in the army, and by the way, he brought the imperial doctor to regulate Cao Zhen's body, so that he would not be able to command the battle due to poor health and affect the situation in Guanzhong. He also asked him to bring the imperial doctor to the villa, hoping that Cao Miao could provide some advice.

Cao Miao didn't speak. He didn't care if Cao Zhen was alive or dead. The battle of Chencang can be won without Cao Zhen. Zhuge Liang came over the Qinling Mountains, and he didn't transport an artifact like 20, and even the wooden ox and flowing horse hadn't yet appeared, his logistics were fatally wounded, and the possibility of taking Chen Cang was very small.

This battle is to give Hao Zhao a reputation.

Now Xiahou Ji has been added.

What surprised him was that Cao Ei would actually send Cao Zhi to Guanzhong.

But after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Cao Ei meant. Cao Zhi didn't have any supporters, and the only few were killed by Cao Pi after he succeeded to the throne, and now he is a bare-bones prince, and he can't make any waves in Guanzhong, but he is quite a good scapegoat.

If Cao Zhen fell ill, Chen Cang was captured by Zhuge Liang, something happened in Guanzhong, and Cao Zhi, who opposed the transfer of Zhang He to reinforce Guanzhong, was the culprit. Cao Rong threw him out to calm the anger. The reason is sufficient, it's not that I don't need you, it's just that you can't take on the heavy responsibility, I listened to your advice, and as a result, I caused such a big trouble, and if I don't kill you, it will be an extrajudicial favor.

Cao Zhi sold it, and he had to be grateful to Dade.

In case the battle is won, the credit is Cao Zhen's, and the face belongs to Cao Rong, what does it have to do with Cao Zhi?

I have to say that Cao Rong really has all the inside and face, and he is able to advance and retreat, which is simply perfect.

"How's the Captain's injuries?" Love Book House

"I hurt my abdomen and need to recuperate for a while. Sima Shi was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything. Cao Zhi paused, adjusted his thinking, and said solemnly: "However, family affairs still need to be done." Not only should we do it, but we should do it as soon as possible, and it is best to settle it before I leave Beijing. ”

Cao Miao was surprised, tilted her head, and looked at Cao Zhi for a while. "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Cao Zhi nodded. "Your Majesty also knows that you have some concerns and grievances. However, as a clan, you should share the worries of the imperial court, and marrying the Taiwei Mansion is one of them. You also know that at present, Zhuge Liang is guilty of the border in the west, Sun Quan is plotting against the east, and the border affairs in the north have never really subsided. ”

Cao Miao rolled her eyes and ignored it. He has a good impression of Sima Guo himself, and if he has to marry, it is not impossible. It's just that Cao Zhi's official tone and single-minded thinking about the court reminded him of the calculation of interests behind this family affair, which made him very unhappy.

He couldn't help but think of the marriage between his biological mother, Mrs. Cui, and Cao Zhi.

Political marriage, what feelings can be spoken? What's more, it's Sima Yi's daughter.

Sima Shi was seriously injured and became a eunuch, and Sima Yi's family didn't know how much they hated him. In the future, if you have the opportunity, it will be cheap to reward him with a whole corpse. Even if he won't give Sima Yi a chance, there is an enemy next to the pillow, and he thinks about strangling you every day, it's not fun.

Seeing that Cao Miao was indifferent, Cao Zhi persuaded again: "Taiwei is Emperor Wen's trusted minister. He was seriously injured, his eldest son became a waste, and he was able to compromise and seek perfection, which was a great support for His Majesty. As a clan, how can you be left behind? When you reminded Your Majesty, Your Majesty praised it deeply. How to think about the court again, should be in this family business, even if you wronged yourself, you should be. ”

Cao Miao stood up and patted her buttocks. "Are you done?"

Cao Zhi was a little displeased, but still said, "It's over." ”

"When that's done, I'll take you to see the battlefield where the battle took place that night." Cao Miao sneered: "If my guess is right, you came in such a hurry, you must not have been to the Great Sima Mansion, you have not met Desi, and you have not asked about the battle that night." ”

Cao Zhi heard that Cao Miao's voice was wrong, and hurriedly asked. Cao Miao was not him, he took him down the mountain, came to the river valley, walked around, and told the story of the battle that night. After Cao Zhi listened, he immediately understood what Cao Miao meant.

Sima Shi's injury is real, and Sima Yi's injury is fake. In other words, he was self-harming and was not really injured by Cao Su.

Not to mention that Sima Yi was injured and Sima Shi was injured, the nature and severity of the incident were completely different, and now Sima Yi was bedridden on the grounds of injury, so he took the initiative.

If the court is worried about internal and external troubles, and the undercurrent is surging, he is the force that both sides want to fight for, and he will inevitably be caught in the middle. Now you can jump out of the whirlpool and watch the times change. If the Son of Heaven wants to consult the situation in Guanzhong, he can only send someone to the Taiwei Mansion. Those ministers who wanted to borrow his hand to compete with the Son of Heaven could not easily see him unless they took the initiative to visit him.

Judging from Zhong Yu's attitude, this is obviously not a situation that Zhong Yu and others are willing to see. Whether they admit it or not, there is no one in the Ru Ying family who can replace Sima Yi. Sima Yi was very important to them in this court struggle, but they had ignored this before, intentionally or unintentionally.

When Sima Yi pulled back, the blank he left behind was so obvious that it naturally reminded the Ruying family.

This may be Sima Yi's counterattack against the previous Ruying family's failure to fight for him.

Considering the resolution of the grievances with Cao Xiu, Sima Yi's step seems to be burdened with humiliation, but in fact, he kills three birds with one stone, and the timing and proportion are excellent.

Cao Zhi stood by the river, looked at the gurgling river, pondered for a long time, and turned to look at Cao Miao. "Yunliang, if that's the case, you should do this family business."

Cao Miao's brows furrowed. "Why?"

"If you want to deal with Sima Yi, you have to do it."
