One day before dawn, Zhao Junsheng got up, came to the door of Cao Jiao's ward to take a look, and saw that Cao Jiao had not woken up yet, so he took a knife and walked away in an open space to start practicing knives, and some dragon guards on duty were on guard around.

Every morning, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, or cold and hot, he will insist on at least one hour to keep his martial arts from regressing, and even because he has persisted over the years, his martial arts have been improving.

After practicing for an hour, he still didn't blush, didn't panth, and the depth of his internal strength could be seen.

"Your Majesty, General Cao is awake!" The eunuch Kang Yide walked to the side to report.

Zhao Junsheng stopped, and after collecting his work, he walked towards Cao Jiao's ward.

When he came to the ward, Zhao Junsheng saw Cao Jiao's two wives and concubines crying with joy at the bedside, while his children were still nowhere to be seen.

"Your Majesty is here!" Cao Lin and another concubine saw Zhao Junsheng coming, and immediately wiped their tears, got up, and made a blessing ceremony.

"No need to be polite!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, and seeing that Cao Jiao was trying to struggle to get up, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Cao Jiao, don't move, how do you feel?" ”

Cao Jiao's voice was very weak, "I'm worried about Your Majesty, the minister is okay, and he can't die, now that he sees that His Majesty is fine, the minister is relieved, just let His Majesty worry about the minister all night, this is the minister's sin!" ”

"Don't say that, as long as you're okay!" Zhao Junsheng said and turned his head to look at the crowd in the room, "Is the imperial doctor here?" ”

The imperial doctor came out and bowed and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"How's General Cao doing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, General Cao's condition has stabilized, but you can't get water until the wound has grown, otherwise it may suppurate, and then it will be troublesome!"

Zhao Junseng continued to ask, "Can you eat?" ”

"Yes, but it's best to only eat liquid food these days, if you want to go to the toilet, you can only use a night pot and a commode, you must move slowly and slightly when you get up, you must not let the broken bones be dislocated, you must wipe the parts other than the wound with warm water every day, change your clothes frequently, and keep them clean and tidy; Someone must massage General Cao's body every day, move the joints, and promote the circulation of qi and blood, otherwise after a long time, the qi and blood will not circulate, and the muscles and muscles will not stretch and contract, and the phenomenon of atrophy will occur! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and said to Cao Jiao's wife and concubine: "Just write down what the imperial doctor said, right?" Just do it! ”

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Imperial Doctor! ”

At this time, Cao Jiao's children walked in from outside, and the eldest son Cao Ting shouted: "Grandpa, are you awake, are you better?" ”

"I've seen Your Majesty, Grandpa, Auntie, and Auntie!" Cao Jiao's second son and daughter visited everyone together.

Cao Jiao was angry when he saw Cao Ting, "Your Majesty is here, why don't you see you soon?" ”

Cao Ting was startled when he saw it, and immediately knelt down with a puff and said, "Cao Ting greets Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng saw that this Cao Ting still didn't wake up until this time, and his body was hollowed out by wine at a young age, and he knew that this Cao Ting was only afraid that he was also a drunken man and a gentleman.

"General Cao was seriously injured and almost died, and he is not young anymore, not only do his children not take care of him carefully and fulfill his filial piety in front of bed, but let your aunt and aunt stay up all night, but they hide aside and sleep, what kind of system does it become? You listen to me, within a month, your three brothers and sisters will take turns to serve in front of General Cao every day, and you are not allowed to go out. ”

Zhao Junsheng's tone was stern, and the three brothers and sisters of Cao Ting turned pale with fright, their knees weakened, and they knelt on the ground together: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

At this time, Kang Yide stepped forward and shook the dust to remind Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, in the morning, you have to meet with Shangshutai, Zhongshu Province and several chief officials under the door, and listen to their reports on various military and political affairs. ”

Cao Jiao hurriedly said: "You can't delay the major affairs of the court because of the minister, the minister is already much better, and there are wives and concubines and children serving on the side, Your Majesty should return to the palace quickly!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not too late to have breakfast with you and leave!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he turned his head to Kang Yide and ordered: "Go and prepare breakfast!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Junsheng and Cao Jiao talked and laughed together before leaving after breakfast.

Not long after Zhao Junsheng left, Cao Jiao instructed his wives and concubines and children: "You all go out, Luo Zhen stays!" ”

Luo Zhen is Cao Jiao's henchman, and after Cao Jiao's wife and concubines and children went out, Luo Zhen closed the door.

"Why is the general like this, he almost lost his life, it's not worth it!" Luo Zhen sighed with palpitations.

Cao Jiao shook his head: "Luo Zhen, you don't understand, you don't understand!" Your Majesty is an emperor worthy of his courtiers to protect without regard for his life, this has nothing to do with interests, I didn't have time to weigh the pros and cons when I went to protect His Majesty, this is the true thought in my heart that commanded my body! ”

"Do you know why? It is said that the higher a person stands, the farther he can see, but how many people can actually do it? Almost everyone I have seen only regard their own self-interest as more important than anything else, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not very selfless, but Your Majesty is different, he has never neglected the interests of the great cadres because of personal gains and losses! If there is no Majesty in this world, there will be chaos for a hundred years, or even two hundred years, and with Your Majesty, the chaos in the world can end at least a hundred years ahead of schedule! ”

"Although I am also a selfish person, but I admire Your Majesty for being a person who is higher than his own interests and has the world in mind, he never despises them as lowly and poor as the people, I Cao was also a grass people, it is Your Majesty who is not humble and promoted and reused, Cao can have today's achievements and status!"

"Luo Zhen, do you know what it feels like when a person has the ability to penetrate the sky, is full of wealth, but is still not reused, and no one appreciates it?"

Luo Zhen was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists and said: "My subordinates understand what the general means, Your Majesty is indeed an emperor worthy of his courtiers to defend with their lives!" It's just ······ General, did you say that yesterday when you were suddenly attacked by a large insect while hunting? ”

Cao Jiao's face changed, "This is absolutely impossible, cough cough······ Poof" he vomited some blood again because of a violent cough.

"General, don't be angry, your subordinates don't mean anything else, just talk about it!" After Luo Zhen finished speaking, he immediately turned around and poured water for Cao Jiao, "General, drink some water, and your subordinates will call the imperial doctor to come and have a look."

Cao Jiao drank two sips of water and felt better, "It's okay, what I coughed up was bruising, and I felt a lot more comfortable in my chest when I coughed up this bruising!" ”

"That's good, that's good, if the general's injury is aggravated because of what his subordinates just said, this is Luo Zhen's sin!"

Cao Jiao put down the teacup, "This thing can't have been arranged in advance, at that time, the big insect was hiding in the grass on His Majesty's right, and after a tiger roared, it pounced on His Majesty, and His Majesty's mounts were frightened and fell down, and the big insect was too close to Your Majesty!" As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone an emperor? ”

"Besides, if Your Majesty really wants my life, he has many excuses and reasons, and he must use this method!"

Luo Zhen faintly felt that there was something suspicious in this, "General, the day before yesterday afternoon, Anfu was just raided by Wang Tanzhi and Yu Linwei, and yesterday morning His Majesty sent someone to spread the word that you were hunting with you, and you almost died while hunting, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" ”

Cao Jiao said: "Okay, even if His Majesty wants to kill me, why does he use this method?" He just needs to say that Yu Linwei found An Dashi's record of bribing the ministers of the DPRK and China from An Dashi's house, including me Cao Jiao, no matter how much I shout injustice, it's useless! ”

"That's just as well!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after a few knocks, Cao Ting's voice came in: "Grandpa, General Gao is here!" ”

There are several generals surnamed Gao in the Daqian Dynasty, namely Gao Xiu, Gao Xu and Gao Jinzhi, Gao Xiu, the general, is still at home, and the half-year suspension period has not passed, so he can only stay at home and educate his daughter how to behave.

Gao Jinzhi is guarding the Western Regions, not in Chang'an, so it can't be him, so the tall general in Cao Ting's mouth can only be Gao Xu.

"Please!"

Gao Xu walked in, he was wearing a regular suit, very casual and casual.

"Lao Cao, why are you so careless, you almost lost your life, you are not the eldest brothers, don't die the earliest!"

The Cao family complained in their hearts one by one, is this what a general should say?

Cao Jiao not only did not get angry, but said with a smile: "Even if you die, I won't die!" But these days, I'm just afraid that I can't drink with you, you can hold the wine bottle alone and face the moon! ”

"That's a shame! I've heard that the big worm that almost killed you was still killed by you in the end, what about the big worm? Give me a little tiger meat stew to eat the current drink, give me that whip too, and I'll take it to make wine! ”

Cao Jiao shook his head: "I didn't kill that big insect, it was killed by Your Majesty!" I heard that the tiger meat has been distributed by His Majesty to the entourage, and the tiger bones and tiger skins have been taken away by His Majesty's entourage! ”

Gao Xu sighed: "How can Your Majesty be like this? I'll leave you a little! ”

"What do you want to leave me some for? I can only save this life, and if I leave it, in the end, it won't be for nothing, you kid? ”

"Hahaha······ Cao Jiao, who knows me! ”

Gao Xu smiled and asked, "Do you know that a major event happened in the imperial court two days ago?" ”

"Oh? Something big happened? How did I not know? ”

"It was the morning before yesterday, Your Majesty somehow thought of going to Zhongshu Province to inspect, and during the inspection, he asked many officials some questions, and finally gathered some major officials, and said in a very stern tone that some people in Zhongshu Province accepted bribes, cultivated cronies, and even sold official positions, which scared those people in Zhongshu Province at that time! Finally, he also warned some people to know their way back, not to go further and further, if they know that they can change their mistakes, they can surrender to the relevant yamen, or directly surrender to him! What is strange is that in the past two days, not a single official from the top and bottom of Zhongshu Province has surrendered to the relevant yamen or His Majesty! ”

Cao Jiao's heart suddenly cooled, could it be that His Majesty meant that the drunkard did not mean to drink?
