was pouted by Cao Miao, Cao Zhi was a little uncomfortable, sat up straight, sank his face, and prepared to take out his father's row of noodles and force Cao Miao to bow his head.

Cao Miao turned a blind eye and calmly picked up a glass of water. "There's something I've always wanted to ask you."

Cao Zhi said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”

"Where is my aunt buried, I want to go and worship."

Cao Zhi was speechless, didn't speak for a long time, his straight waist gradually collapsed, and his eyes dodged.

Cao Miao squinted at Cao Zhi and sneered: "Call you twice Uncle Huang and float?" Let's not talk about the throne, it's a matter between your brothers, and I can't care about it. But what's going on with me, Gaoyang Township, you should know better than me, right? What's the matter, do you want me to be grateful to Dade? ”

Cao Zhi coughed several times in succession. "Yunliang, this matter ......" squeaked for a long time with a red face, and didn't say a word.

Cao Miao waved her hand and took the initiative to change the topic. This kind of topic is too emotionally hurtful to talk about. The father and son finally eased up a little, don't have any more parts.

"Xiahou Ji went to Guanzhong, you know, right?"

Cao Zhi was relieved and took the initiative to introduce the situation. Xiahou Ji took the initiative to apply to Guanzhong, and the Son of Heaven was very happy, so he ordered the general Cao Zhen to take care of Xiahou Ji and give him sufficient space for development. Cao Zhen was not in good health, and was looking for a few trustworthy helpers, and wanted to keep Xiahou Ji by his side, but after receiving the edict, he politely asked Xiahou Ji what he thought.

I never thought that Xiahou Ji wanted to go to Chencang.

After repelling Zhuge Liang at the beginning of the year, Cao Zhen judged that Zhuge Liang might come again, and ordered the general Hao Zhao to enter Chencang to strengthen the city defenses. Xiahou Ji wanted to go to Chencang, Cao Zhen was both a little surprised and a little moved, and felt that Xiahou Ji went to Guanzhong to experience it sincerely, not to go through the motions, and after talking to Xiahou Ji deeply, he let him go to Chencang, Ren Hao Zhao's Sima.

Hao Zhao is Xiahou Yuan's old department, so naturally he will not treat Xiahou Ji badly.

When the news was transmitted back to Luoyang, the Son of Heaven was also very satisfied, and felt that Cao Zhen had arranged it properly, and he was worthy of being an old minister. Xiahou Ji can endure hardships, have responsibility, and is also a material that can be made. Therefore, he moved his mind, hoping to set an example for Xiahou Ji and call on more young people from the clan to go out and practice. On the contrary, Cao Zhi felt that this matter should not be rushed, so he might as well wait for a while, and advised the Son of Heaven to make Xiahou Ji a partial general.

Cao Miao also agreed with Cao Zhi's idea. This matter can't be too urgent, it's best to wait for Xiahou Ji to make meritorious contributions before being promoted, otherwise it is easy for the soldiers to become hostile to Xiahou Ji, and it is not easy to do.

"There is something that my father needs to remind His Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"If it is really as the general said, Zhuge Liang will go and come back, and then attack the fortifications, try not to transfer Zhang He for reinforcements."

Cao Zhi thought about it for a while, and then understood what Cao Miao meant. "Stabilize Jing Xiang and don't give Sima Yi a chance to make a comeback?"

"That's right." Cao Miao thought for a while, and then said: "As the only remaining five good generals, the significance of Zhang He is worth excavating. Compared with reinforcing Guanzhong, it is more important for His Majesty to stabilize the Jingxiang battlefield and give Biqiu Jian a chance to grow. ”

Cao Miao accentuated her tone and deliberately pointed out the significance of Biqiu Jian to Cao Ei personally. He didn't have much trust in Cao Ei in the first place, but some recent events reminded him that in this Vanity Fair, the real big player is not Sima Yi, nor is it a family, but Cao Ei as the emperor. This cannot be overlooked at any time.

No matter how good Sima Yi is, when Cao Rong is alive, doesn't he have to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Cao Zhi thought so and nodded in agreement. Colorful Chinese

Cao Miao finally said that it is not advisable to be hasty in promoting the children of the clan, but to take it slow and first promote some people who are indeed talented, such as Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Ji. If it is too hasty and does not distinguish between good and bad, it will be counterproductive. In addition to this, it is important to arrange the right positions and even arrange people who can take them on a ride. When you first enter the career, whether there is someone to teach you or not, the difference is still very big.

For example, in the Jingxiang Theater, you can select a few suitable candidates and follow Zhang He to learn how to use soldiers. Your Majesty's wisdom today is inseparable from the fact that he fought with Emperor Wu in the Quartet and apprenticed in military and political affairs.

Cao Zhi felt justified and planned to formally write a note to discuss this issue in depth.

Father and son rarely speculated, talking about the middle of the night. After Cao Miao rested, Cao Zhi began to write articles.

——

Early the next morning, Cao implanted himself in the palace and came to see the Son of Heaven with the music he had just written.

After reading the article, the Son of Heaven was fascinated, read it again, and couldn't help but say to Cao Zhi: "Uncle Huang's article should be published in the Zongmiao to take the law for the successor monarch." If you can govern the country according to this, why worry about the great Wei country? ”

Cao Zhi was also very relieved and said a few words modestly.

The Son of Heaven thought for a while, and then smiled: "This article, can there be Yunliang's contribution?" ”

"Yes, Zhang He sat in Jingxiang and taught Biqiu Jian and the children of the clan to use soldiers, which was his suggestion."

"Sure enough." The Son of Heaven laughed. "Uncle Huang, if you want me to say, although Taichu and Yuan Gong are talents, compared with Yunliang, their talents are slightly inferior. Why don't you start with Yunliang? ”

Cao Zhi shook his head again and again. "Your Majesty has won the prize. If he was not sick, Yunliang might be able to compete with Yuan Gong, but he was not as far as Taichu. I have been sick for more than ten years, but now I can be more stable and infrequently, which is rare. It is really inappropriate for him to be a local. ”

The Son of Heaven's eyes rolled. "How is Yunliang's condition lately, and has it improved?"

Cao Zhi let out a long sigh and shook his head. "When I went back yesterday, when I talked about the marriage with the Taiwei, he almost had a seizure."

"Really?"

"How dare the minister deceive Your Majesty. He insisted that the Taiwei couple were vicious, and their daughter must be like this, and the family would be restless if they married. Your Majesty, the ministers thought about it, Yunliang lost his mother as a young man, and he had been suffering for many years, and he needed a gentle and virtuous woman to take care of him, the daughter of the Taiwei...... It's really not quite right. ”

The Son of Heaven was silent, and only after a while did he say, "Let's discuss this matter again." Taiwei and his wife are decisive, but their daughter may not be like this. If it weren't for that, how could Princess Deyang marry Yuanrong to Sima Shi. Uncle Huang, it's not that I don't understand Yunliang, but I really don't want Taiwei to marry the Xun family. Although Xun Lingjun has passed away for many years, the Yingchuan Xun family is still the hope of the family, Yingchuan Chen's family, Xin's family, and a Sima family. Alas......"

The Son of Heaven sighed, shook his head, and said nothing more. Cao Zhi was also helpless, he knew that the Son of Heaven was in a dilemma and hoped to prevent the marriage between the Sima clan and the Xun clan. Sima took the initiative to propose marriage, this is a rare and good opportunity, and it should not be missed.

But Cao Miao didn't agree, and he couldn't help it.

The Son of Heaven was worried for a while, and then said: "What do you say about Jiangdong in the middle of the line?" ”

Cao Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Yunliang can't travel far. However, he is willing to meet and discuss with Yinbo and do his best. ”

The Son of Heaven turned his head to look at Cao Zhi, his eyebrows frowning slightly. "Yunliang refuses to go?"
