Chapter 382: I Have a Suggestion
Cao Miao frowned slightly, and said with a faint smile: "What I said to Gu Tan, Mrs. must also know." ”
Mrs. Sun smiled. Cao Miao seemed to veto, but in fact, she exposed her inner suspicions. Although his refutation of Gu Tan's words is reasonable, the appearance of Cao Ei and Yuan Song does not prove that Cao Ei is the Yuan bloodline, but this is just insufficient evidence, and it does not negate the possibility that Cao Ei is the Yuan bloodline.
At least he believed it was possible, but out of caution, he needed hard evidence.
"Some children are like their fathers, some children are like their mothers, and appearance is not the only basis. Let me make a bold guess, in terms of appearance, the Emperor of Wei is more like Zhongshan Zhen, right? ”
Cao Miao was silent. But his silence is not denial, but acquiescence.
Mrs. Sun has a lot of eyes and ears in Luoyang, and there are not one or two people who can see the Son of Heaven, so it is not surprising that she knows this, and denying it has no practical meaning except for expressing a lack of sincerity.
"If I told you that I might have evidence that he was of the Yuan bloodline, would you believe it?"
"Possibly?"
"Yes, I don't have proof yet, but there may be." Mrs. Sun's voice was not loud, but she was full of confidence. "Ironclad evidence."
Cao Miao exhaled and said slowly: "What kind of evidence can be called ironclad evidence? In my opinion, there is no evidence that can be called ironclad. A talking witness may be a liar. Physical evidence that does not speak, may be forged. I'm good at both. ”
Mrs. Sun tilted her head and thought about it. "You are right, in this sense, there is really no evidence that can be called ironclad." She smiled. "In other words, there is no conclusive evidence that he is of the Cao bloodline, do you admit it?"
"Admit it."
"Well, everything is just a possibility, the difference is just how big the possibility is."
Cao Miao didn't speak, just nodded again. He behaved very reluctantly, with a helpless look that he wanted to argue but couldn't refute, and was forced to retreat step by step.
Mrs. Sun smiled, picked up her wine glass, and drank a glass of herself. She was satisfied with the results she had received from the beginning. This also shows from another side that Cao Miao himself has always been suspicious, but he can't find evidence, and out of prudence, he doesn't want anyone to seize the handle, so he flatly denies it and strongly counters Gu Tan's accusations.
Gu Tan had never seriously considered Cao Miao's inner thoughts, how could he succeed if he wanted to defeat Cao Miao with a domineering attitude.
Judging from Cao Miao's previous experience, he is by no means the kind of person who will be easily defeated, he will fight back with all his might, fight you and me to the death, and even mess around. Facing the Yingchuan clan, Zhong Xuan still didn't dare to give in, how could he put Gu Tan in his eyes.
When dealing with such a person, we should treat him with sincerity, first dispel his hostility, compare my heart with my heart, and consider the problem from the same standpoint.
"Have you ever doubted it yourself?" Mrs. Sun put down her wine glass, refilled a glass of wine with a dagger, and said, "I believe that you are also looking for evidence, and I may be able to help you." ”
Cao Miao looked at Mrs. Sun and said nothing.
"You should have heard that after the Yuan family lost Hebei, the brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled to Liaodong and were later killed, but there are still five or six thousand families stranded in Liaodong, including Yuan Xi's concubines. According to them, before Yuan Xi left the town of Youzhou, his wife Mrs. Zhen was pregnant, and later gave birth to a son. From the point of view of time, it is very close to the emperor of Wei. ”
Cao Miao was just about to speak, but Mrs. Sun raised her hand and signaled him not to rush to refute. "It's not hard evidence, but do you have evidence to refute it? For example, find someone you can trust, meet the infant Emperor of Wei, and confirm his date of birth. ”
"What's so hard about that?" Cao Miao sneered: "The Son of Heaven is in full bloom, and there are quite a few people who have seen him born alive, and there are several elders in Luoyang. ”
"You asked? Who? Mrs. Sun's smile was even brighter. She heard the flaws in Cao Miao's seemingly justified rebuttal. Cao Miao didn't ask, or asked, but didn't get a definite answer. "If there is, I won't bother to talk about it, and we'll continue to drink as if we hadn't said it."
Cao Miao's eyes were gone, and she quietly licked her lips a few times, swallowing her saliva, and her movements were not big, but she was just right for Mrs. Sun to see. Madame Sun's eyesight is excellent, and she must be watching herself carefully so that she will not miss these details.
Besides, it's not exactly acting, it can even be said that it's almost a fact, except for one thing: he is not the real Cao Miao.
"So, back to the first question: if the Emperor of Wei is really of the Yuan bloodline, what are your plans?"
Cao Miao picked up the wine glass, blocked half of her face, squinted her eyes, looked at Mrs. Sun, and said nothing.
"I have a suggestion." Mrs. Sun raised her glass. "Stay in Dawu and help me and Dahu. Cheng, it is the Cao family's major sect. If you don't succeed, you can be rich and secure, and you can live a free life. ”
"You ......" Cao Miao sneered, full of disdain.
"I know it's hard, but it's not hopeless, is it? Whether it is Da Wu or Wei Shu, in fact, there is no certainty of victory. The predicament faced by my Great Wu is the same as that of Wei and Xishu, or even more serious. I have Gu Lu in Wu, and there is also the Yingchuan clan in Wei. ”
Mrs. Sun smiled. "In contrast, it's still me who has more opportunities. As you said, there are some things that only the founding monarch could do. ”
"But you princes ......"
Mrs. Sun interrupted Cao Miao without hesitation, and said meaningfully: "The prince is just the prince. ”
Cao Miao didn't say anything more, nodded, and raised her glass to greet Mrs. Sun. "At the beginning, my wife promised that when King Wu ascended the throne and became emperor, she would tell me the whereabouts of Yinbo. Now that King Wu has resigned and ascended the throne, and his promise cannot be fulfilled, I make a bold guess, Yinbo went to Liaodong? ”
Mrs. Sun pursed her lips and smiled. "I won't admit it unless you can take my advice."
"Can I refuse?"
"I don't think so." Mrs. Sun smiled even brighter and gently lowered her wine glass. "It seems to me that you don't have a better choice."
"Madame, aren't you afraid that I'm a spy of the Wei State?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. I am confident that I can prove that Cao Ei is actually Yuan Ei. She smiled. Of course, there is no ironclad evidence, just for reference, believe it or not. ”
Cao Miao rolled her eyes and raised her glass. "I'll wait for your proof."
"Okay." Madame Sun also raised her glass. "I wish us to join forces, assist King Wu, and rule the world."
Cao Miao laughed, drank it all, and then squeezed his eyes again, deliberately lowering his voice. "Ma'am, I have a suggestion."
"What advice?"
"I think the princess is more suitable to be the prince than the prince, so it's better for us to join forces ......"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Sun couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Can this kind of thing be a joke? In history, how can there be a woman who is a king and an emperor? ”
"Just because we didn't have it before doesn't mean we can't have it now. If Madame is interested, I can do my best to help, and ...... then."
Mrs. Sun took a sip of Cao Miao with a smile and raised her wine glass. "Drink, don't get drunk."
