As soon as Cao Zhi left, Han Dong came.

Seeing the opportunity, Qing Tao quickly wrapped up the remaining gold cakes and utensils, and carried them into the bedroom, so as not to fall into Han Dong's eyes.

After two days of not seeing him, the redness and swelling on Han Dong's face had subsided a lot, and he looked more energetic.

"Qingtao, take Zhang Xi." Cao Miao commanded.

Qingtao took a bamboo mat and spread it in front of the bed. Han Dong entered the table to thank him, and his heart was happy. It is rumored in the palace that the eldest prince has a very high vision, and it is rare for someone to get a place in front of him. Chen Liutai guarded Sun Yong's visit, and it was also because he had a common language with the eldest prince, and the answer was satisfactory to the eldest prince, so he was treated as a desk seat, and he didn't even drink saliva.

He is a notorious school official, and it is not easy to have a seat in front of the eldest prince.

"If you want to ask anything, just say it." Cao Miao got straight to the point.

Han Dong didn't dare to delay Cao Miao too much time, and explained his intention straightforwardly. He came to Yongqiu this time for two things: one is the whereabouts of the school affairs jade seal, there is no need to ask about this, the noodle man has been handed over to Cao Miao. The first is the Inner Dan Technique, which is what the Son of Heaven wants to ask. The news from his companion that the envoy of the imperial court was coming, and it was likely that he would also ask about it, and he had to get the news back first, otherwise it would be useless.

Cao Miao answered Han Dong's question. The jade owl seal suddenly appeared at the head of his bed, as for who gave it to him and why, he didn't know, and he couldn't give Han Dong more information. As for the Neidan technique, it was indeed he who told Sun Yong, and he could tell Han Dong what he knew. These things suddenly appeared in his mind, whether it was Emperor Wu's dream, he couldn't tell.

As a school official, Han Dong observes his face and looks at people's feelings, and it is his housekeeping ability. But on Cao Miao's face, he didn't see the slightest flaw. Although I couldn't complete the task, I was a little regretful, but I was helpless.

After asking about business, Han Dong plucked up his courage. "Prince, can the minister ask about a private matter?"

"You can say it, but I may not answer you."

"If the prince can answer, he will answer, and if he can't, he will answer. You don't blame the minister for being presumptuous, the minister is already grateful. ”

Cao Miao waved his hand and motioned to Han Dong not to be polite. "What the hell is the problem?"

"Ah Hu's martial arts were instructed by the prince?"

"What do you hear?"

"I heard that Ah Hu's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and he has defeated all the guards in the mansion alone, and one pair of two or three is more than enough." Han Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "I heard that the prince is not satisfied with this, and he spurs Ah Hu to practice martial arts every day, asking him to go to the next level." ”

"It's fine. Children, you can't be too lenient, and you have to whip twice from time to time to progress. ”

The prince said very much. It is a blessing for Ah Hu to be taught by the prince. Han Dong lowered his head, arched his hands, and said earnestly: "The minister is presumptuous, if he can get the prince's teachings, even if the minister is beaten every day, it will be ...... Yes. ”

Cao Miao looked at Han Dong and almost laughed out loud. Is this an active plea?

Seeing that Cao Miao didn't speak, Han Dong felt uneasy, his face was red and white for a while, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. But before the opportunity, he was reluctant to give up, so he could only bite the bullet, and continued: "The minister was born in a humble background, his father was originally a yellow scarf in Montenegro, the old department of Anguo Tinghou, and now he is the Luoyang family. The battle was hard, and there was no chance of promotion, so he entered the school affairs department and became a school official who was despised by everyone. ”

"Are you from the Luoyang family?" Cao Miao sat up and looked at Han Dong. He had entered Han Dong's room and knew that although Han Dong was not a gentleman, he was not a person who did all kinds of evil, at least not the kind of insatiable greed. Now he knows that Han Dong is from a scholar family.

He had heard people say that there was only one word difference between the scholar family and the scholar family, but the treatment was very different. The scholar family in the Three Kingdoms era was equivalent to the military household of the Ming Dynasty, unless there were special circumstances, the father died and the son was replaced, and the generation was a soldier, and even women could only marry people who were also scholars.

In other words, the men of the Shi family are cannon fodder, and the women are the tools of fertility, and they have to farm their own land to support themselves, so don't be too miserable.

Han Dong raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes. "Since I can remember, no less than ten people have died in the war."

Seeing a big man crying, Cao Miao's nose was also a little sour, and he thought about it. "Speaking of school officials, I just have a question for you."

"The eldest prince, please."

"In addition to supervising hundreds of officials, do you school officials participate in military intelligence spying?"

"Military intelligence spying is the responsibility of the military itself, unless it involves corruption, dereliction of duty, or defection of generals in the army, and school officials generally do not participate."

"Do you care about the generals in the army who communicate with the enemy?"

"Of course." Han Dong came to the spirit at the time. If it is found that the generals in the army are in contact with the enemy country, this is a big case. After the excitement, he became vigilant again. "However, the generals in the army are not civilian officials, and there is no definite evidence, so the school affairs department will not act rashly, so as not to provoke fire."

"If the enemy ...... The enemy spies surrendered by fraud, and the generals of our army do not distinguish the true from the false, and believe the truth, may they be tricked? ”

Han Dong pondered for a long time, unable to decide. He had never encountered such a case before, had no experience to follow, and did not know how the school affairs department handled such a case. "Prince, you're talking about ......"

"Cao Xiu."

Han Dong's face turned pale and he exclaimed in surprise. "Da Sima?"

Cao Miao looked at Han Dong with a smile. "What? Scared? ”

Han Dong nodded honestly. "The prince didn't know that Da Sima was not only a heavy general in the army, but also a minister appointed by the emperor to take care of his life. Your Majesty relied on him very much, and to say that he was deceived by enemy spies, this is really ...... Unconvincing. ”

He thought about it for a while, and then said, "Is it Emperor Wu's dream?" ”

Cao Miao shook her head. Emperor Wu's dream is a killer weapon, which cannot be used lightly, and once it makes a mistake, it will be difficult to convince it in the future. Although from the analysis of the situation in all aspects, it is very likely that Cao Xiu will be successful, after all, it is not 100%. Besides, Cao Xiu's death is not necessarily a bad thing for him.

"I don't know, I just think it's possible." Cao Miao was vague. "If you hear about it, you might as well pay attention. Especially a Wu man named Zhou Yi, this person is a master of use. Also, you check one thing for me. It's done, and I have my own thanks. ”

Han Dong rejoiced in his heart. "Please, the prince."

"Find out who spread rumors and slandered my father."

Han Dong smiled, with a hint of pride. "I've heard of that. Does the prince remember Gujun? ”

Cao Miao was angry. Of course, I know who Guan Jun is. That's the same villain as Wang Ji, stepping on Cao Zhi to climb up.

"Something to do with him?"

"He is now the county leader of Xincheng. Not long ago, the school affairs department found out that his brother-in-law Zhong Tai sent some Shu brocade to his boss. The school affairs department suspected that Guan Jun used his power to smuggle, and sent people to investigate thoroughly, but found no evidence of smuggling, but found that Zhong Tai had some connection with rumors. It's just that after His Majesty returned to Beijing, he issued an edict to stop the investigation of rumors, and the school affairs department gave up. ”
