Chapter 10: The Secret Edict

"Manly husband, what are you afraid of, for your father and your grandfather, all your life on horses, sleeping in the open air, born and dead, horse leather shroud, you are just on duty in the palace now, compared to the border gate, I don't know how many times more comfortable, and when you go to the real battlefield in the future, how can you gain a foothold?" Cao Yan reprimanded unceremoniously.

Liu Ying said dissatisfiedly: "I know how to train my son all day long, you have fought for the court from birth to death, but in the end it is not the same as standing aside, even an official position has been cut off, and let your son learn from you, I don't think I can learn it." ”

Cao Yan's face changed, Liu Ying's words poked at his sore spot again, he snorted heavily, and said, "Woman's opinion! ”

Liu Ying didn't want Cao Liang to join the army, and there was a more important reason, Liu Ying's father was not an outsider, it was Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu Han.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led a large army to the south, Liu Bei fled south with the people, Cao Chun led five thousand tigers and leopards to pursue on the orders of Cao Cao, pursued three hundred miles in one day and one night, and caught up with Liu Bei in Dangyang Changbanpo.

In the battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Zilong, who was rendered by the romance, rode the savior alone and bravely covered the world, but in fact it was not that kind of thing at all, Liu Bei fled in embarrassment under the pursuit of the tiger and leopard rider, and Zhao Yun just protected Mrs. Gan and the young lord Liu Chan to get away with it.

In fact, it was Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who really shone in that battle, who not only inflicted heavy losses and crushed Liu Bei's army, capturing a large number of people and baggage, but also captured Liu Bei's two daughters and returned triumphantly.

This incident made Luo Guanzhong, who had always been loyal to Liu and anti-Cao, ashamed to say it, and did not mention it in the romance, and at the same time angrily portrayed Cao Chun as a wreck who even Zhou Yu's generals couldn't beat.

Cao Chun dedicated Liu Bei's two daughters to Cao Cao, but the two daughters were only five or six years old at the time, and Cao Cao, who had always been only interested in wives, was naturally not interested in these two little Lori, so he simply gave these two little Loli to Cao Chun.

One of them was Liu Ying, who later married Cao Yan and became the Marquis of Gaoling Pavilion.

Her younger sister unfortunately died early and did not reach adulthood.

Liu Ying didn't want Cao Liang to join the army, because although her father Liu Bei had passed away, but now the emperor of Shu Han, but her own brother, Liu Ying didn't want Cao Liang to meet with the main soldiers of Shu in the future.

Cao Liang was surprised to find that he actually had an even more awesome identity, that is, he was actually the grandson of Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei, and the nephew of Liu Chan, the current emperor of Shu.

Of course, this identity is also for Cao Liang to YY himself, in the hostile environment between Wei and Shu, this identity is useless, unless he has the opportunity to go to Shu in the future, maybe he can also touch the light of his uncle, and now, he is just an out-and-out "Cao Sandai".

The Cao generation, headed by Cao Cao, can be described as a generation of talents, dazzling, vertical and horizontal, and famous all over the world. Cao Cao won't talk about it, others such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, etc., are all famous generals in the world, and their military achievements are brilliant.

Compared with the brilliant and dazzling Cao generation, the second generation of Cao led by Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xiahou Shang can only be regarded as lacking in progress, and there is more than enough to keep it.

They don't have the ability of their fathers to open up the land and dominate the world, but they can be regarded as holding Cao Wei's own one-third of an acre of land and not letting others get involved.

It's a pity that the poor are not more than five suits, and the rich are not more than three generations, and when the Cao family reaches the third generation, it is really exhausted, except for Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, who can barely be regarded as a Ming monarch - it is a pity that Cao Rong has a short life and died young at the age of thirty-six - the remaining group of Cao three generations is really a hemp rope wearing tofu - can't be mentioned.

Now Cao Rong can't stay up for long, the eight-year-old son Cao Fang is about to succeed to the throne, and the minister has been determined, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi have no suspense, and Cao Shuang, as a lonely minister who covers the sky with one hand, played a good hand of cards to a sparse extent, and was calculated by Sima Yi, and finally died in ashes, and the three clans were punished.

Of course, this is also something that will happen ten years later, and Cao Shuang will live happily in the position of the first assistant minister for ten years.

But what about ten years from now?

Is it really that hard to change history?

Just when Cao Liang was deep in thought, He Fu, the steward of the house, came in and reported: "Master Qiqi, there is a guest asking to see." ”

Cao Yan was slightly stunned, it's this hour, how can there be guests to visit, it's too strange.

"Who is coming, do you have a prayer?"

He Fuyu said: "The person who came did not pay a visit, but just said that he came from the palace and asked to see the Hou Ye for important things. ”

"Someone from the palace?" Cao Yan was even more surprised, in the middle of the night, there were people in the palace, what happened?

"Please!" Although Cao Yan was surprised, he didn't dare to slack off, so he asked Liu Ying and his subordinates to avoid it first, and above the lobby, only he and Cao Liang were left, and he instructed He Fu to treat each other politely and welcome the guests to the lobby.

The guest was alone, wearing a black cloak, and the hat of the cloak covered most of his face, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly, and there was a mysterious aura all over his body.

Cao Yan arched his hand suspiciously: "I don't know what happened when Your Excellency came late at night?" ”

The person who came took off his hat, smiled, and said, "Marquis Gaoling, don't you know our family?" ”

Although the candle flame in the lobby was not very bright, Cao Yan still recognized at a glance that the person who came was the eunuch next to the emperor, the Yellow Gate Squire to ward off evil spirits.

Cao Yan was shocked, in terms of official position, warding off evil spirits is just a five-grade official who is not big or small, but he is the emperor's henchman eunuch, and the big celebrity around Cao Rong.

"It turned out to be a big internal official, and if you miss a long way, please ask the internal official to forgive me." Cao Yan politely bowed his hand and said.

Cao Liang was also deeply inexplicable, because he also recognized that the person was not someone else, it was the eunuch who accompanied Cao Ei this afternoon, although he didn't know the name of this person, but judging from his relationship with Cao Ei, this person must be Cao Ei's henchman.

is Cao Ei's personal eunuch, but he is not by Cao Ei's side at the moment, but he appeared in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, which is a little too weird, right?

And this person is not wearing the clothes of the palace, but wearing ordinary clothes, disguised and changed, so what is his intention?

He smiled and said, "Hou Ye is polite, our family visited late at night, and it was very abrupt, which frightened Hou Ye." ”

Cao Yan said: "The big internal official went to our mansion, let the cold house be a pengbi shining, why be frightened, the big internal official, please sit down." ”

"No need, our family is here today by edict, Gaoling Pavilion Marquis Cao Yan, to receive the order." ”

Cao Yan's heart sank, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Minister Cao Yan took the order." ”

Cao Liang also knelt down in the back.

He took out the secret edict to ward off evil spirits, and said solemnly: "In the dictation of Your Majesty, I will give a secret edict to Cao Yan, the Marquis of Gaoling Pavilion, until the time when Sheji is in danger, it can only be opened, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

Cao Yan received the secret edict in his hand, and said loudly: "Minister Cao Yan leads the decree, long live my emperor, long live." ”
