Cao Fu.

A young man walked into the house from outside, holding a bead in his hand and circling in circles, walking very briskly and whistling in his mouth.

There are constantly servant girls who see him and squat down to make a blessing salute, hoping to be favored, "Hello young master!" ”

", it's embarrassing to look so ugly!" The young man scolded, his face very disgusted.

"Woo-woo-" The maidservants wept one by one and hid their faces.

A family member stepped forward and bowed: "Young master, are you back?" ”

"Well, where's my grandfather?" The young man asked, glancing at the housekeeper.

"The master is in the martial arts training ground!"

"My aunt is in the backyard, right?"

"Yes, young master! The master just said that if you come back, you will go to the martial arts training ground to see him! ”

The young man hurriedly said, "I'd better go see my aunt first!" ”

"No, young master, the master said that you should go and see him first, otherwise······ Otherwise······"

"What else else?" The young man asked, turning his head.

Ai Ai said: "Otherwise, I will break your dog's legs!" ”

The young man was furious, clenched his fists and was about to hit someone, but the family hurriedly dodged and shouted: "Young master is angry, this is the old man's original words, not the villain's words!" ”

The young man put down his fist and pondered for a while, but he was still a good man who didn't eat the losses in front of him, so he went to see Grandpa first, otherwise he was afraid that there would really be no good fruit to eat!

When he came to the martial arts training ground, the young man saw a powerful middle-aged strong man galloping on a horse, holding a riding bow and shooting an arrow at the side of the arrow target, which caused the generals and family members standing on both sides of the martial arts training ground to applaud one after another.

A superb archery is the most proud of Cao Jiao's life, I think he relied on this amazing archery in the heavy camp competition to come out on top, attracting Zhao Junsheng's appreciation of him, these years closely follow Zhao Junsheng's footsteps to have today's status and power, so even if his status and power have increased over the years, he still has not put down this stunt, every other time there is practice.

"General, thirty arrows hit all ten rings!" The soldier who checked the hit rate reported the results loudly.

The generals, soldiers, and maidservants shouted loudly: "The general is mighty! ”

Cao Jiao jumped off the horse, handed the bow to a general, and took the towel and tea handed by the family.

A general next to him saw the young master Cao Ting coming from a distance, so he reported to Cao Jiao: "General, the young master is back!" ”

Cao Jiao turned his head to take a look, and his face showed a look of dismay.

Cao Ting walked over quickly and bowed his hand: "The child greets Grandpa!" ”

Cao Jiao turned around and put on a majestic appearance: "Where are you fooling around in broad daylight?" ”

Cao Ting was unhappy, "Grandpa, I am your eldest son, why do you say that about me?" ”

"What's the matter? Are you fooling around outside? If you try again, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! ”

Although Cao Ting is mixed, he is not stupid, seeing that Cao Jiao is obviously really angry, he is really guilty of talking back at this time.

A general next to him hurriedly played a round: "General, you see that it is not early this day, when it is time for dinner, let's go to dinner first, and then talk about it after dinner!" ”

Cao Jiao took a deep breath, he also knew that it was inappropriate to teach his son a lot in front of so many people, but he really hated that iron could not become steel, and waved his hand: "Go see your aunt!" ”

Cao Ting immediately slipped away.

Cao Jiao looked at his son's appearance, feeling greatly lost and disappointed, and sighed in his heart, is it really impossible to escape the law of "Lao Tzu's heroes and bears"?

Cao Jiao took a deep breath and waved his hand to the family and the maidservants, and everyone retreated when they saw this.

Cao Jiao asked a general who was following him as he walked: "How are things going?" ”

"Back to the general, An Dashi died violently in Jinwuwei Prison last night, and the jailer also hanged himself in the squad room on duty, everything was done without a trace, the general can rest assured! But there is one thing that is very confusing, not long after, Wang Tanzhi, the waiting official of the household department, led troops to raid Anfu, and his family children, all his belongings, family members, and maidservants were all taken away, and the house was also sealed! ”

"What? Anfu was raided so quickly? The person who did it was the household department waiting for the lawsuit? Waiting for the lawsuit, a yamen who does price collection and statistics, what right do they have to raid the Anfu? Cao Jiao was taken aback.

The lawsuit is a yamen that is placed on the surface, but the level of secrecy is extremely highly confidential, and the people who know its real functions can be counted in a slap, and Cao Jiao does not know even if he is the first confidant to follow Zhao Junsheng.

The general replied: "The people brought by Wang Tanzhi are all Yu Linwei!" ”

Cao Jiao, who has always been honored and disgraced, immediately changed his face, and even Yu Linwei was dispatched, what does this mean? Yu Linwei belongs to the Praetorian Guard, which is equivalent to the emperor's private army, and no one can mobilize it except the emperor!

Cao Jiao realized the seriousness of the problem, "Does Your Majesty know something?" An Dashi led people to kill the entourage officials and accompanying guards of the prince of Ouda, it stands to reason that the investigation of the case should be the matter of the Imperial City Division or the Criminal Department, a small Sogdian merchant, even if he killed the entourage officials of the envoy, he doesn't need to send Yulinwei to raid the house, right? ”

The general also had some apprehension in his heart, but he still comforted Cao Jiao: "General, my subordinates think that we should not think too badly, after all, An Dashi killed the accompanying officials and guards of foreign envoys, and this matter has a wide impact, the emperor dispatched Yulin Wei to raid An Dashi's house, maybe to make a gesture to show the prince and show his attention!" In addition, An Dashi is rich and rivals the country, and the emperor dispatched Yu Linwei to dare to raid his home in front of the official mansion, maybe it is to covet the wealth of the An family? After all, now the imperial court does not need to take out a part of the taxes as internal funds, although the emperor's salary is several times higher than the ministers, but the expenses of the royal family are also very large, and the emperor can only earn his own money to support his family, half of the income from the seizure of the family according to the regulations to the treasury, half to the inner treasury, if the person responsible for the inspection in the middle of the manipulation, can completely hide most of the property, rushed into the treasury is only a few, the majority of the money into the treasury! ”

Cao Jiao shook his head: "You think of Your Majesty too badly, if Your Majesty is a greedy person, the whole world is his, and he still needs to use such unseemly means?" All it takes is a hint that someone is sending him money! There are only two possibilities, either the first one you said, to make a gesture for Prince Wenhe to see; The other is that His Majesty found out that An Dashi secretly befriended the ministers and officials of the imperial court! Think about it, have you ever been caught by him when you were in contact with An Dashi on weekdays, once he left evidence and was captured by Wang Tanzhi, we will be in big trouble! ”

The general thought carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "The subordinates are sure that they have not been given any tricks by him!" The general can rest assured that the contact with An Dashi is a subordinate, even if Wang Tanzhi gets any evidence, it is also the subordinate who acted behind the general's back and borrowed the name of the general, and everything has nothing to do with the general's mansion! ”

Cao Jiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really that far, I'm afraid that things won't be as simple as you and I imagined!" ”

The worry in his heart has been lingering, after dinner, Cao Jiao sat in the study all night without closing his eyes, he seemed to have a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Cao Jiao's health is very good, even if he doesn't close his eyes all night, he is very energetic, he washed up and had breakfast with his wife and children, dressed neatly and prepared to go to the value.

At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly came over and reported: "General, Your Majesty has sent a eunuch to announce the decree!" ”

When Cao Jiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Quickly call the young master and the young lady to come out and take the order with me!" ”

There was laughter in the distance: "General Cao doesn't have to be like this, our family is just here to pass on His Majesty's message, Your Majesty said, today is a good time for hunting with clear skies and beautiful winds and sunshine, so send the old slave over to ask General Cao to go hunting in the Imperial Beast Park with him!" ”

Cao Jiao immediately bowed in the direction of the palace and clenched his fists: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Cao Jiao only took two generals to follow the eunuch to the palace, and when he arrived outside the palace gate, the eunuch stopped and said: "The general doesn't need to go in, just meet your majesty here, and then go to the imperial beast garden together, and the old slave will go to serve your majesty, so go in first!" ”

"Okay, father-in-law, go slowly!"

When the eunuch walked away, the confidant came over and whispered: "General, Your Majesty let the general go hunting with him, which shows that the general's holy family has not decreased, and the general doesn't have to worry!" ”

Cao Jiao didn't make a sound, and he was like a tiger! Countless examples are lessons from the past, let's just say Cui Hao, this person can be said to be the top think tank in the world, and he has given advice to the emperor for so many years, and he is often accompanied by him, and the emperor will kill him when he says he will kill him.

In fact, Cao Jiao also knew that as the emperor, Zhao Junsheng's position was not easy to sit, and the emperor couldn't be too emotional, otherwise the world would have to be in chaos, but as soon as things happened to him, he didn't think so, and blamed the emperor for being too ruthless.

Soon, Zhao Junsheng rode out of the palace gate, followed by some dragon guard cavalry, Cao Jiao, who was dressed in light cowhide armor, immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Minister Cao Jiao has seen Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to Cao Jiao: "Get on the horse and go together!" ”

"No!"

Cao Jiao trotted up to Zhao Junsheng on his horse, and asked with a smile, "Why did Your Majesty think about going hunting today?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "People are old, their energy is not as good as before, sitting for a long time is not good for the body, or more activities!" ”

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, how can you speak in a dull manner? Weichen thinks that His Majesty's age is the time to do great things, and this big world still needs His Majesty to be at the helm! ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled without saying a word, inadvertently turned his head to look at Cao Jiao, stared at the cowhide armor on his body, and asked, "This leather armor is some years old, right?" Do you still wear it like this? Are you short of money? ”

Cao Jiao looked down and replied, "It's just a little old, it's not damaged, and it can be worn for another year or two, it's a pity to throw it away!" This person misses the old, and the new armor is not necessarily adaptable, but the old one is very comfortable! ”

"Oh? Is it? It's a good idea of yours, but after all, you are a general of the imperial court, and when you go out dressed like this, the subjects still think that I treat you as the founding heroes harshly, and I don't bear this notoriety, hahaha······" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he laughed and galloped forward.

Cao Jiao turned around at this time, remembering that every word Zhao Junsheng had just said seemed to imply something, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
