"Civil and military officials, enter the Hajj to see you!"

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" (Watching TV, it seems to be shouted directly)

"All the ministers are flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Something to do~"

"Nothing to retreat~"

Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a little bored when he listened to the process he had long been accustomed to, and glanced at the ministers, but found that he didn't see Cao Cao among the first few people, and he couldn't help but wonder: Didn't come again?

Then there was a joy, and the corners of his mouth were hooked: Okay, good, today is another comfortable day.

After a period of trivial things, Liu Xie flicked his coat sleeves and left directly, deaf to the words of "Congratulations to Your Majesty" by the civil and military officials.

"It's another easy and beautiful day, it's good!"

With such beauty, Liu Xie transferred to the harem.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Xie nodded casually and walked in across the door, and saw the two eunuchs standing in front of him without moving, almost bumping into him, stopping at his feet, and asking with great displeasure: "Do you want to die?" ”

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare? Don't get out of the way! ”

"Please forgive your majesty! It is really an order from the prime minister, please tell your majesty, it is in the side hall next to it. ”

Liu Xie glanced at the helpless eunuch with a face, and had the intention to punish him, but thinking about it, he couldn't blame them, so he could only suppress his anger and turn to the side hall with a cold snort.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Xie saw the strong man at the entrance of the hall from afar, and he didn't act as an agent for his greetings.

You are the emperor, you have a point.

Xu Chu pushed open the door of the hall without feeling, like a wooden stake that had no feelings.

"Bang~"

Liu Xie did not fall, but kicked Xu Chu when he entered the door to vent his anger. Could it be that Xu Chu's ignorance angered him?

"Your Majesty!"

This time, Liu Xie couldn't ignore it, and replied: "Prime Minister." ”

Cao Cao arched his hand expressionlessly and said, "The minister came uninvited, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Liu Xie rolled his eyes, walked to the top and sat down, and said as if he didn't care: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and then said: "The current situation is unfavorable, Cheng Yu suggested moving south, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

Sudden!

Liu Xie only had one idea. Cao Cao's recent approach made Liu Xie feel that he was a puppet, so he was very indulgent. Now it looks like ...... No?

Cao Cao didn't disturb Liu Xie's daze, and sat quietly.

After a long time, Liu Xie came back to his senses and asked with a complicated face: "Is it really irretrievable?" ”

"There are already 300,000 Ming troops who have come to attack, and we have less than 200,000 now." Cao Cao's words were very light and did not contain any emotion.

Liu Xie felt cold, very cold.

"Does moving south work?"

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, got up and left directly. When he left the hall, he left a sentence-

"Your Majesty himself should know that three days, at most three days."

Hearing this, Liu Xie watched Cao Cao's back disappear little by little, and it was not until the call of his henchman Wang Bao that he came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

"Uh...... What's wrong? ”

"It's time to eat!"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment and said, "So fast!" ”

Wang Bao nodded and said, "It's almost noon." ”

"Okay!"

Liu Xie had lunch and did not go to the harem, but went to the Zhaoyang Palace.

Zhaoyang Palace, where the harem concubines live, is one of the best palaces in the palaces, belonging to Cao Guiren.

Cao Guiren, a famous person, is the daughter of Cao Cao. Since entering the palace, he was quite favored at first, but I don't know if this is Liu Xie's revenge or appeasement, and then he gradually fell out of favor, but he was afraid of Cao Cao's prestige and didn't dare to make other moves.

"Concubines greet Your Majesty!"

Outside the hall, Cao Guiren, who got the news, led everyone to worship.

Liu Xie directly took her hand and walked to the palace: "I have important matters to discuss with the nobles, and the rest of us should step down!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After entering the hall, Liu Xie glanced left and right, and found that the hall was really empty, and then looked at the poor Cao Jie, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and quickly let go of his hand, and said, "I have suffered you all these years." ”

"Concubines are not bitter! The court is in chaos, the state affairs are busy, His Majesty is working, but the concubines can't help, so they are not bitter. ”

Liu Xie seemed to know Cao Jie for the first time, and after taking a serious look, he saw the sincerity on his face, and the guilt in his heart became even worse. Thinking of his intentions again, Liu Xie hurriedly said: "Well, the concubine has a heart." ”

"These days, I wonder if the prime minister has talked to his concubine?"

Cao Jie shook his head and said, "The concubine hasn't seen her father for almost half a year. ”

When Liu Xie heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Seeing this, Cao Jie said, "Your Majesty, is there anything inconvenient to tell your father?" Or, the concubine will go out of the palace? ”

Liu Xie was really a little moved, but in the end he shook his head and said, "No." ”

After speaking, Liu Xie got up and said, "I still have something to do, concubine rest!" ”

"The concubine sends your majesty."

Cao Jie had no complaints, but looking at the back of Liu Xie who was about to leave, he rarely overstepped and said, "I don't know what trouble Your Majesty has, can you talk to your concubine?" Maybe it can't help, but the concubine can also relax His Majesty, right? ”

Liu Xie paused, thought about it, walked back again, and then talked about what Cao Cao said in the morning.

After hearing this, Cao Jie frowned and said, "Although the concubine doesn't know what to do, my father has always been tough and doesn't allow others to put his beak, but at this time, I want to ask Your Majesty, it seems that the situation should be very urgent." ”

Liu Xie originally just wanted to say it slowly, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: it seems to be ...... Makes sense? So what the hell......

"What should I do?"

Cao Jie pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Everything depends on how Your Majesty chooses." ”

Liu Xie immediately fell silent, and then stayed in Zhaoyang Hall that night......

Zhuo County.

The morning court was later than Xuchang, but in the afternoon, the ministers of the court and the central government had not dispersed.

After everything was done, when Gongsun Du signaled the eunuch next to him to announce his retreat from the dynasty, Xun You stood up first and said: "The southern army is progressing smoothly, I believe that at most autumn, it will be able to take Yanyu Erzhou, why should Your Majesty go in person!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Tian Yu and other ministers expressed their approval.

Gongsun Du smiled faintly and said: "Since the first year of peace, I have been close to the age of sixteen, and there are not many old friends left in the past, and I can see one side is the other. Besides—"

"The prince is not young, it's time to take on the responsibility of handling state affairs, this time it's the last exercise!"

Before the ministers could say more, Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's decided." ”

The ministers were really helpless, but they could only bow and say, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Gongsun Du hurriedly slipped away amid such shouts. The description may be a little inaccurate, but after Gongsun Du walked out of the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, it's not that I'm afraid, but I don't want to chill people! It doesn't seem to make a difference, but it feels better in the end.

"Father!"

Gongsun Du came to the imperial study, and was not surprised to see Gongsun Yi, as if he had expected it, and sat down directly opposite him: "Sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Father."

"What do they have to say after I'm gone?"

Gongsun Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Xun Shoufu said that he hoped that his father would order Scholar Zhang to rush back as soon as possible. ”

"Huh!"

Gongsun Du smiled lightly: "Did he say that a person would be too busy?" ”

Gongsun Yi smiled awkwardly again and nodded.

Gongsun Du nodded, thought about it, and said, "No way, he is also old, and Zhicai has been in poor health recently, so he is indeed a little tired alone." ”

After a long sigh, Gongsun Du said: "With the expansion of the empire, there must be more and more official affairs to be handled by the cabinet, and three people are barely enough for now, but it will not work in the future, and when the time comes, you can increase a few appropriately, five to nine will do, but remember, there must be a single one." ”

"Why not increase now? And why does it have to be singular? Gongsun Yi said curiously.

"This is a chance for you."

As he spoke, Gongsun Du stood up, nodded at Gongsun Yi, and said, "If you want to talk about this quantity, you must first talk about your views on things." Not everyone has the same opinion on the same thing, just like some people eat with their left hand and some people eat with their right hand. ”

"What should I do if I have different opinions? There should be a discussion before the most appropriate approach was chosen. How to choose? Vote by show of hands, no one can abstain, as long as it is an odd number, there will always be more parties. ”

"I see."

Gongsun Yi suddenly realized and admired: "Father is wise! ”

"Alright, let's not talk about that."

Gongsun Du shook his head, stretched out his hand to the table on the right, and said, "Father is old, and I will hand over the fold to you in the future." That's where you'll deal with the twists and turns later. When your father abdicates, you can go to that place to deal with the twists. As he spoke, he turned his finger and pointed to the top, the table in the middle, and behind it was a large golden chair called the "Dragon Chair".

"This ......"

"What this, this!" Gongsun Du's face turned pale, and he reprimanded, "Haven't you been able to handle state affairs correctly by now?" How will I be able to put the empire in your hands in the future? Say it yourself! ”

"Please rest assured that the child will definitely walk on thin ice and handle it carefully." Speaking of this, Gongsun Yi also had a straight face and responded solemnly.

Gongsun Du smiled with satisfaction, then thought about it, and said: "If you want to inherit it for a longer time, the most important thing is to have a qualified heir. Now that Qi'er is not small, it is time to try to participate in one or two. ”

Gongsun Qi, Zi Zi Xing, is the son of Gongsun Yi and the grandson of Gongsun Du, and is now eleven years old. For Gongsun Yi, he can be regarded as a middle-aged child, after all, he is now at the age of not being confused.

Gongsun Du can be said to be very fond of this grandson, but he never interfered with Gongsun Qi's teachings, even if Gongsun Yi had asked Gongsun Du about this matter, he only replied to him with one sentence-

"Your child should be taught by you."

Now, when Gongsun Yi heard Gongsun Du's instructions, he suddenly recalled what he said a few years ago, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked: Is this the inheritance?
