Cao Pi and Xiahou Shang have a good relationship, even if Cao Pi is called the emperor, Xiahou Shang has always called Cao Pi Zihuan.

But Xiahou Shang has a shortcoming-

He won't look at the boss's eyes, and now the boss's mood has reached the verge of exploding, and this product is still learning from those celebrities to fight for reason.

Don't you know who went to great lengths to get him back from Ji Han?

Xiahou Shang hadn't realized that Cao Pi's mentality had exploded now, he hinted that Sima Yi and Chen Qun should hurry up and get out, and wanted to stay alone and talk about life with Cao Pi again, they used to do this kind of thing, and Xiahou Shang thought there was no problem.

Sima Yi and Chen Qun are much more sensible than Xiahou Shangke, and they have no relatives with Cao Pi, so they hurriedly laughed and got out of the way, one went to find Zhong Xuan, and the other went to prepare the grain and grass to prepare for the big battle in Guanzhong.

Only Xiahou Shang sat down and stared at Cao Pi's face tightly, ready to talk about Xu Huang with Cao Pi again.

Xu Huang has great talent, and it is not funny to throw it on the frontier to Tian Yu as a subordinate, and he will definitely be poked in the backbone and ridiculed in history in the future.

"Zihuan, ah......"

"Boren."

As soon as Xiahou Shang spoke, Cao Pi intercepted his words and said coldly: "What did you think about the matter I asked you last time?" ”

Xiahou Shang was stunned, and said in his heart, where is this, what did you explain to me last time.

He searched his stomach and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of what Cao Pi asked before, so he had to cast a look of help to Queen Guo.

Empress Guo knows Cao Pi best, she knows that Cao Pi is now going to be powerful, and nine times out of ten she wants to find some trivial things, she coughed lightly and said: "Although it is not a military matter, but the Son of Heaven has entrusted it to be thunder and rain.

Boren, your memory is a little poor. ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Shang looked confused.

Cao Pi snorted coldly: "You and Zidan grew up together, and he married his sister to you, so he naturally took a fancy to you as a character.

You spoiled your concubine, but you snubbed Deyang, and Zidan couldn't feel at ease when fighting on the front line - I taught you to go back and appease Deyang well, can you do it? ”

"Ah...... Oh...... Ah, naturally I did, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for your concern. ”

"Hmph, then tell me, how is Deyang's body now?"

"This, naturally, is excellent......"

"What a fart you have!"

Cao Pi was furious, he stood up and pointed at Xiahou Shang's face and scolded angrily: "Deyang has been in poor health recently, and he has been sick for a long time, you just ignore him, and you still dare to lie to me, don't you take my orders to heart at all!" ”

It was the first time that Cao Pi was so angry with Xiahou Shang, so shocked that Xiahou Shang hurriedly prostrated on the ground, kowtowed and apologized, and Queen Guo saw that the fire was almost over, so she quickly got up and grabbed Cao Pi's arm, so that Cao Pi was angry,

But Cao Pi was already in a bad mood, and under this anger, there was a sharp pain in his chest, his eyes were dark, and he hurriedly supported Queen Guo, and spurted blood with a big mouth.

"Zihuan!" Xiahou Shang hurriedly went to help.

"Fuck off, it's none of your business!"

Cao Pi didn't want to let himself look like this in the eyes of his courtiers, no one could, he desperately wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his cuffs, but he couldn't help vomiting blood again and again, Mrs. Guo carried him hard and asked him to sit down slowly, Xiahou Shang kowtowed again and again, and said:

"Your Majesty, it is the fault of the ministers, please punish Your Majesty."

Cao Pi was already not angry with Xiahou Shang, but when he thought that his ugly state was looked at by Xiahou Shang, the boredom in his heart was difficult to resolve.

He coughed a few times and said with difficulty:

"Boren, you and I are called Junchen, and we are actually brothers, especially you and Zidan, I treat them as my own brothers."

"The minister understands that it is the minister who is pampered and arrogant, and he can't share his worries with His Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me, and the minister will definitely treat Deyang better in the future, so as to ...... With the heart of His Majesty, the heart of An Zidan. ”

"Hey," Cao Pi sneered, suddenly grabbed Xiahou Shang's rough hand, and slowly sat up, "Okay, since that's the case, you go and kill your little concubine......"

What the!

Xiahou Shang suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the sky, and Cao Pi's face slowly changed.

"Your Majesty, this is...... This is a family affair of the minister, please ......"

"How?" Cao Pi laughed cruelly, and a terrifying blood red slowly appeared on his pale face, "I can't take care of your family affairs?"

Now Zidan is fighting hard, and Deyang is sick because of you, how can you let Zidan rest assured that he will worry about the country?

A woman! A lowly woman, what kind of thing is she, you kill her, I will make you a pastor in Liangzhou, let Zidan be a pastor in Yongzhou, and your two brothers will join forces to break Shukou! ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, Your Minister...... Forgiveness is hard to obey! Xiahou Shang said with difficulty, "Ah Xue and Wei Chen, such as Queen Guo and His Majesty, and Ah Xue is simple and kind, and he is sincere to his ministers, and his ministers must not do such unrighteous things!" ”

"What an unrighteous thing! For the sake of a woman, you can even take my orders as the wind in your ears, I said, Xiahou Shang, you call yourself a loyal and good general, is it such a loyal and good general! ”

Xiahou Shang's head banged, not only because of Cao Pi's brain-opening idea, but also in front of his eyes, when he met Zhao Hao a few years ago, Zhao Hao raised his head and stared at the stars, and said the astonishing prophecy:

Your master Cao Pi wants to kill her, do you dare to object?

It's true, it's true!

Xiahou Shang felt cold, as if he had fallen into a bottomless ice cave.

How did Zhao Hao know, and how did he know......

Could it be that he could really see the destiny of heaven?

People in this era more or less believe in the ethereal destiny, and many people in the Wei army muttered that Zhao Hao had such a ability at a young age, and he must be inseparable from God's care.

Xiahou Shang also believed it a little, but he kept this idea in his heart, forcing himself not to link Zhao Hao's ability with the so-called providence.

How can a king interfere in the family affairs of a subordinate, get angry with his concubine, and force him to kill the woman he loves, how is this possible?

But Zhao Hao dared to say it, and Cao Pi also dared to do it, Xiahou Shang felt that there seemed to be an invisible big hand in the dark that was pushing him, and also pushing this invisible huge fate.

"The minister knows his mistake, the minister will do it, and please ask Your Majesty to take a break from the wrath of the thunder." Xiahou Shang's expression suddenly became very calm, which caught Cao Pi off guard.

He faced Cao Pi, kowtowed three times, and said: "The minister is frivolous and dull by nature, and he has no talent, and he is to blame for committing the mistakes of the world, I just hope that Your Majesty will treat the minister's wife and children well, and don't punish them for the minister's mistakes." ”

"Boren, where did you start?" Empress Guo felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, "It's a little too little, why bother?" ”

She hinted with her eyes that Xiahou Shang would go first, and she was ready to persuade Cao Pi to take back his life, so as not to hurt the heart of this loyal friend.

Xiahou Shang bowed again with a solemn expression, and sighed: "That...... The minister retired first, Your Majesty ...... Take care. ”

Cao Pi waved his hand, saying that he didn't want to pay attention to Xiahou Shang, Queen Guo always felt that Xiahou Shang had something to say, so she hurriedly appeased Cao Pi and said: "Zihuan, Boren is a man of temperament, why do you have to force each other?" ”

Cao Pi snorted: "That's it, he makes me sad, if I don't take the opportunity to beat him, I'm afraid that he will be even more proud of his identity in the future, and he won't even care about me, the emperor."

Hey, it's just a concubine, if you say you can't kill it, you can kill it, what's the big deal? Boren is a descendant of the Xiahou family, and he doesn't need to be specially ordered by others for trivial matters. ”

The concubines are bought and sold, and it is an honor for the emperor to give death, Xiahou Shang went home with his head held high, and there was no half-lost look on his face, as if he had just returned from chatting with Cao Pi calmly.

His concubine A Xue saw Xiahou Shang coming back, quickly put down the embroidery ball in her hand, and gave him a solemn salute, Xiahou Shang helped her up, and said, "How many times do you say that you don't have to be like this, don't you listen to me?" ”

Ah Xue shook her head lightly and said, "Master is Ah Xue's heaven, and respecting heaven is a common thing, so how can you talk about courtesy." ”

Looking at the longing and trust flashing in the eyes of this gentle woman, Xiahou Shang strengthened the thoughts in his heart.

He took Ah Xue's hand back to the house, and before he could speak, Ah Xue had already spoken first: "Master, Madame is not in good health these days, you should go back to the main room more, so as not to make it difficult for Ah Xue." ”

"It's good for you." Xiahou Shang gently stroked Ah Xue's hair and said, "Ah Xue, how long have you not been home?" ”

Ah Xue smiled slightly and said, "The slave is from Jiangling, Jiangling is in the hands of thieves, how can I go back." ”

"Master, I am a general of the imperial court, what if I lead the army back?"

Ah Xue pursed her lips and sighed softly: "The slave doesn't want the master to go to war again, in the whole mansion, Ah Xue only has one relative, if the master is gone, Ah Xue will not miss it day and moon, only when the master comes back, he is not by his side, and Ah Xue is also happy." ”

Xiahou Shang took a deep breath, he stroked Ah Xue's silky face lovingly, and said, "Okay, in some time, I will take Ah Xue back to my hometown with me." ”

"Is there really another war?"

Xiahou Shang shook his head and said, "No, the eldest lady slandered the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven wants me to kill you." ”

"Ah......h

The girl's body trembled, and her slightly red face instantly lost its color, and then she kept trembling.

"Yes...... It's Ah Xue's fault, it's Ah Xue who shouldn't be flattering to the old man, causing the eldest lady to be unhappy. ”

The girl's tears fell like beads of broken threads, in this era, where can her cheap life fight against the powerful imperial power from above, there is no need for Cao Pi to order, as long as there is no Xiahou Shang to protect her, the township lord of Deyang can take her life at will.

"Master, don't be difficult, just kill me."

If her life comes to an end, she also hopes that at least she can make the man who has always protected her unharmed. Xiahou Shang is Cao Pi's cronies, if he provokes Cao Pi's dissatisfaction, it will be a monstrous disaster.

People are inherently dead, and it is not too much of a loss to be able to live so long in troubled times and meet their beloved.

"Ah Xue, do you believe in the Mandate of Heaven?"

"Faith, after entering the master's mansion, Ah Xue has always believed it."

"I believe it too!" Xiahou Shang said categorically, "So don't worry, as long as I am here, no one can kill you!" ”

"Don't say it's the emperor, and the gods can't do it!"
