Chapter 220: A plan within a plan
After entering the study, Cao Pi carefully closed the door of the study and greeted him respectfully: "Father." ”
"Zihuan, have you done everything?" Cao Cao asked.
"Reply to my father's words. Everything is going well, and His Majesty has promised me the title of Governor of Ziwei, and it seems that it should be carried out soon. ”
"Zuo Shuchang?"
Cao Cao smashed the taste, and put down the scroll in his hand meaningfully: "Your Majesty is really willing to pay for it, with Ziwei's qualifications, not to mention the head of Zuo, even the official doctor is enough to see, but Zihuan, I can't see that your friendship with Your Majesty is good." ”
Hearing this, Cao Pi's heart sank, he knew that Cao Cao was warning himself not to gain power, after all, with his current status, the only purpose of getting close to the emperor was to gain power.
"Father, Pi'er remembers."
Cao Cao nodded, seeming a little tired: "That's good." You go out and go back and get some rest. By the way, you did get Ziwei's injury anyway, so you have to go and see him. Take good care of him if he is not in good health, I don't know when...... Ay! Forget it. ”
"Yes."
Cao Pi bowed and slowly withdrew, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh at the moment, because the medical officer had only recently told him that Cao Xiong's condition was getting worse and worse, and his crux was that he was in the womb, and there was no way to treat it.
Since ancient times, it is a very painful and pitiful thing for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, and he is a supreme minister, even the emperor has to obey his orders, everything is very good, but it is that the incense in this house is often broken, which is really uncomfortable.
However, although he is a father, he is still a careerist, and soon Cao Cao came out of that sadness and turned to think about the next arrangements.
It is indeed a fact that Cao Pi injured Cao Xiong, but he never thought of taking Cao Pi from the position of the school office, and the reason why he wanted Cao Pi to talk to Liu Xie like this has only one purpose.
That is to help Cao Xiong obtain a knighthood, which means that even if Liu Xie did not think of this, Cao Pi would induce him to agree to this request.
Cao Xiong can get a knighthood with a white body, so Cao Pi has several outstanding achievements, shouldn't he be promoted afterwards?
The children have been promoted, so shouldn't their positions also be transferred?
This is the real purpose of Boss Cao!
Liu Xie didn't know about all this, and after returning to the palace, he began to think about what reason to give the title to Cao Xiong.
Although this kind of thing can be relied on by one's own preferences, it is helpless to pay attention to a proper name in everything, and it is too blunt to make it too blunt, but it is not good.
But after returning to Changxin Palace, he didn't see any trace of Fu Shou and Liu Jin, what did the two of them do?
While hesitating, Fu Shou came back from outside, and when he opened the door and saw him, he immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, you will come so early, the concubine thinks it will take a little time, so I will go out to prepare a meal for you." ”
As soon as she waved, Liu Jin and the others walked in with a sumptuous dinner.
"Your Majesty, these are specially prepared by the queen mother, you can taste it, how about it, but they are all dishes you like to eat!" Liu Jin said and put the wine and food on the table.
After that, he retreated from all his subordinates, and Fu Shou waited for him to eat, and asked, "Your Majesty, Cao Pi invites you to go on this trip." So what's going on? ”
Liu Xie paused for a moment and explained the matter: "That's it, it's nothing if I think about helping him, anyway, he has a sentence right." If he loses his errand at the school's office. That Zhang Sicheng was afraid that they would also be replaced, so it was not easy to clean them up and quiet them, and then replace them...... Troublesome! ”
"I see."
Fu Shou'e frowned lightly, and the heart that had been hanging finally let go, she knew Cao Pi's character, what if this guy forced his man to do something dangerous?
"Then I don't know how Your Majesty plans to grant this title to Cao Xiong?" Fu Shou gave him a chopstick to stew mutton.
When it came to this, Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't thought about this yet, I can't find a suitable reason, I can't say that because you were injured, I gave you this title?" That's not going to work. ”
"That's true."
Fu Shou hesitated slightly, and came up with an idea: "By the way, Your Majesty, it will be my father's birthday in a few days, and then all the civil and military officials will definitely give gifts to congratulate the birthday, do you think you can take this as an opportunity?" ”
"Oh?"
Liu Xie was interested: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Cao Xiong, although the concubine is not very familiar, but some have heard of it, his literary style is not as good as Cao Pi them, but he has a good hand to paint, the best at pine crane pictures, usually when his father celebrates his birthday. He'll give you a pair, too, and this time will be no exception, so why don't you use this as a reason then? ”
Liu Xie pondered for a moment, but still nodded, although it was a bit far-fetched, but for the sake of today's plan, it had to be like this!
Time passes, and in the blink of an eye, the birthday of the end of the bush has arrived!
He was originally the honor of the national war, and some time ago he went to war with the Dayue clan, and Cao Cao resumed his position as an auxiliary general, and at the same time he was the same as the three dukes, but the position was more expensive.
His birthday, of course, has to be a big deal!
Before that, Cao Cao actually went to the fold and asked the court to take money to make him a birthday, but he was left to refuse, and he shirked again and again after he finished it, and in the end he had to give up.
However, Cao Cao also gave him a request, after all, it is the birthday of the national war, and it is okay without the court paying for it, but the venue for the birthday must be in the palace.
First, it is convenient for Liu Xie and Fu Shou to participate, and secondly, he is afraid that there will be too many people, and his mansion will not be enough to sit at that time, isn't it a joke?
To this, Fushiwan agreed.
Decorations!
In today's palace, everyone has a smile on their faces, especially those eunuchs and palace maids, don't look at the birthday of Fu Fu has nothing to do with them, and he has to be busy serving those officials and masters, but this reward is very rich.
At that time, the emperor will reward one, the birthday prince will have one, and the helmsman of the court, Boss Cao, will have another one, as for the other officials, if they serve well enough, they will not be stingy.
It can be said that the palace people in the palace, in addition to the pitiful salary, really make money from such royal celebrations.
"Drink!"
The ancients celebrated their birthdays, not only to look at the day, but also to be as honorable as Fu Wan, and even to be accurate to the minute and second, before the auspicious official of Si Tianjian calculated the official start time of the celebration.
The guests who came to congratulate early, before that, they could drink and talk in groups as they do now, but they couldn't drink too much, let alone get drunk.
Inside the Hall of Choshin.
Liu Xie's family, dressed in fancy clothes, was chatting in the hall, and the noise outside made everyone feel very good. After all, the more chaotic the moment, the more people will come to celebrate the birthday......
