"The eldest sister did nothing wrong." Cao Yan said coldly.

When Cao Xi heard his answer, the contempt on his face flashed and said, "As a father, I naturally know that it is not your eldest sister's fault.

But the civil officials are clinging to this matter!

If our Cao family doesn't give a reasonable explanation.

Without the suppression of civil officials, just because of the exclusion of the rest of the generals, my Cao family will not be able to gain a foothold in the court. ”

Only then did Cao Tong realize that he was wrong.

And it's a big mistake!

He only saw the glory of the Cao family in the future, but he didn't expect that the Cao family would be so difficult at this time.

After thinking for a while, Cao Tong said with relief: "Daddy, you are a fan of the authorities!"

What you should be most wary of is not the princes in the court, but the Empress Dowager Liu and the official family! ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Xi's original contempt vanished, and he was re-examined.

"Daddy, isn't what the child said right?" Cao Tong saw that Cao Xi didn't answer for a long time, so he asked rhetorically.

"Tell me why you think that."

Seeing that Cao Yu was interested in what he just said, Cao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Daddy, is there any queen of our Great Song Dynasty who is not from Jiangmen?" ”

"Nope."

Seeing that he had received a satisfactory answer, Cao Tong said with a smile: "Although the official family is not yet in power, they should also know the importance of encircling the generals.

And I have always been a warrior with literature, and in the eyes of the child, it is nothing more than that those in power are afraid that we nobles will support our soldiers and respect ourselves. ”

"Go on." Cao Xi said.

"Now the affairs of the DPRK and China are all in the hands of the Empress Dowager Liu.

Although the official family is benevolent and filial, his attachment to power is stronger than anyone else's. ”

Seeing him say this, Cao Xi's face instantly turned purple.

And what Cao Tong wants is such an effect!

If this is not the case, then his life will really not be saved.

At this time, the room became unusually quiet, and even Cao Tong himself didn't know how to break this situation.

It was Cao Xi who couldn't help but say first: "Yu'er, what do you think of your eldest sister's regret of marriage."

By the way, the Father hears the truth. ”

"The eldest sister didn't do anything wrong!

On the contrary, it was precisely because the eldest sister refused to marry the Li family that the crisis of exterminating our Cao family was invisibly resolved. Cao Tong said.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that his cheap father still didn't understand, Cao Tong said a little helplessly: "Even if our Cao family is in the martial arts, it is also the top existence!"

Dad, in the past, relying on me to pretend to be crazy and stupid and believe in cultivation, maybe I could let the officials relax their vigilance.

But now you have decided that I will die for the Cao family.

Once this news reaches the palace, unless you can get the Danshu Iron Coupon, the Cao family will die within ten years. ”

Cao Tong naturally knew that his words were alarmist.

But he was sure that these words were already euphemistic in Cao Xi's ears.

And as he expected, although Cao Xi was calm, his clenched hands had completely betrayed him.

"Dad, do you think I'm right about what I just said?" Cao Tong took advantage of the victory and pursued.

"That's right!

So all the ridiculous things you did before were all to hide yourself? ”

"Sort of,,,

In our Great Song Dynasty, unless you are a civil official from the imperial examination, even if you are born in the imperial family, you will be suppressed.

Since the child has no hope of getting ahead in his life, it's normal to do some ridiculous things, right? ”

"Hehe, you and I have never talked like this between father and son.

In the past, my father thought you were just a useless fool.

Now it seems that you are the smartest person in this Cao Mansion! ”

got Cao Xi's evaluation, Cao Yu knew that he had escaped a catastrophe.

Because he knows that the Cao family is not afraid to feed a gentleman who knows how to forbear.

But he will not indulge a mediocre man who keeps to himself.

In the conversation with Cao Xi just now, Cao Yu has fully proved his worth.

"Yu'er, since you have such a vision, how do you think your father should protect our Cao family?"

Hearing this, Cao Tong fell into deep thought.

If he remembered correctly, the Cao family was able to start rising in the Renzong Dynasty because of his eldest sister who was about to enter the palace.

However, his eldest sister doesn't seem to be favored.

If it weren't for his reputation for simplicity and tolerance, he might not even be able to secure his position.

Although he and the future Empress Cao have not really met, they have also begun to bear her to be imprisoned in the deep palace for a lifetime.

"Dad, do you have to answer first that my eldest sister is willing to enter the palace to be selected?"

"The matter of entering the palace was requested by your eldest sister herself, and her father did not force it.

After all, she is also the daughter of the Cao family, and no matter how ruthless her father is, at most, he will send her to the temple to become a nun, and he will not send her to the fire pit. ”

Although Cao Xi's words were casual, it made Cao Yu feel like he was on his back.

No wonder his eldest sister voluntarily entered the palace.

Imagine that a girl who is still in the flowering season is likely to be sent to be a sister-in-law, and it is a good choice to enter the palace as a concubine.

"Dad, since the eldest sister volunteered.

It is indeed the best choice to let the eldest sister enter the palace.

After all, the official family already has a queen, and no matter how high the concubine position is, the eldest sister is an insult to our Cao family.

Dad, you just took this opportunity to keep the Cao family away from the court. Cao Tong said.

"Do you want the Cao family to stay away from the court?"

Seeing Cao Xi's unbelievable expression, Cao Yu knew that Cao Xi was reluctant to hold the right in his hands.

"Dad, you have to know that it is Empress Dowager Liu who is in power now, but how many more years can she live?

We should keep the Cao family away from the court, and support the official family openly and secretly.

With the benevolent temperament of the official, after he takes the government, are you still afraid that there will be no comeback? ”

"You'er, you really gave your father too many surprises today!

By the way, return that prescription to the father.

I heard that Bo'er has also suffered from some wind chills recently.

Now that your body has improved, let's use this recipe for him first. ”

When Cao Yu heard this, he returned the prescription to Cao Xi without saying a word.

It wasn't until Cao Xi took it into his arms that his worried heart finally let go.

"Take care of it, and my father is not disgusted with your cultivation of immortals." After Cao Xi said this, he turned around and left.

Looking at Cao Xi's distant back, he had a sentence in his heart that he didn't know whether to talk about it or not.

Can he be more hypocritical than this cheap daddy?

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xi'er to finally return with charcoal and the silver needle he wanted.

Cao Tong did not hesitate, and began to condition his body with a silver needle.

The pain every time the silver needle pierced his skin seemed to remind him.

It seems that just healing the body is not enough!

If you want to have the capital to live in this Great Song Dynasty, you have to give full play to your value!

If he can get a civil official, don't say that Cao Xi will give him three points.

I'm afraid that the entire Cao family will no longer embarrass themselves.
