"Xia Neiji, can you send that soup to Fan'er?" Empress Yan asked the female official Xia Shidao who was standing beside her.

"The queen has already sent it, presumably the Third Highness has already used it." Shaneji replied.

The inner secretary is the head of the female officials in the harem, and there are female officials in the harem of the Great Wei Dynasty, such as the inner secretary, the secretary, the chief eunuch, and the maid. There are also grades, such as the general of the outer court, Xia is the internal secretary, assists the queen, manages the harem court, and is a female official Shangshu Ling, Shangshu servant shoots a general figure, and has great power. The Xia family is an old man brought by the Empress Yan from outside the palace, and he obeys Queen Yan's words, and Queen Yan naturally treats the Xia family very well.

"What's going on out there? The emperor has not come to Yi'an Palace for a few days, is he very busy? Yan then asked.

Xia Shi saw that the left and right were all self-conscious people, so he whispered: "The minister doesn't know about the outside world, but he knows where His Majesty has been going recently." ”

After hearing this, he frowned and said, "Are the new maids going to charm the emperor again?" ”

After hearing this, Xia shook his head: "Niangniang, the emperor has been going to Shuyi Pavilion recently, and he often stays at Concubine Han's. ”

"What, Concubine Han?" After hearing this, he stood up and said in shock: "In the past, I always felt that Concubine Han was a sensible person, thinking that she was a sensible person who didn't move forward, and it was pleasing to the eye, but it turned out that she was full of scars in her bones and seduced the emperor." ”

Xia Shi leaned closer and said, "It's not! This Han Concubine pretends to be a fake on weekdays, and I don't know what method she used to hook Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has always run to her these days. I just heard someone tell the minister today, and I'm about to report to my mother. ”

After speaking, he trembled and said: "That fox girl, I haven't settled accounts with her yet, but she sent it to the door, Han Concubine, the good son of a slut, actually helped the slut in the Xiangfu Hall to bully my clansman together." I'm preparing to have a seizure of her in the next few days, huh! Hum! It's good, it's good. ”

When Xia Shi saw this, he was angry and made things out of control, so he persuaded: "Niangniang, it's not easy to attack her, first someone will cut her Shuyi Pavilion, and then make some people disgust and disgust her, Concubine Han, a fox, must know how powerful the queen is, so she will naturally stop." ”

After saying that, when he saw that Xia said lightly, he said angrily: "Are you old and confused? There are some restless people in this palace, seeing that Concubine Han seduced the emperor and was only such a light punishment, how will I manage this huge harem in the future? Your Majesty is surrounded by these foxes every day, so what should I do with Dawei? The court always has to say that I'm not the queen. ”

Xia followed the words for a long time, and when he saw her high-sounding words, he was not annoyed when he was scolded, so he knelt down and said: "Niangniang, the minister is old, but the minister is all for the sake of the mother!" Niangniang, you have to think about Your Majesty, Your Majesty is pampering that Han Concubine recently, if you punish him heavily, if Your Majesty is annoyed, Niangniang, you will eat and hang up, although you are thinking about the society, but there are always some unreasonable people who will say that you are jealous. ”

At this time, Cao Fan was coming in from outside, because the bruise on his mouth that day had not subsided, and he snorted: "A-Niang, that soup is bitter, I don't want to drink it." ”

After speaking, he was thinking about Xia's words, when he saw Cao Fan coming in, and saw Cao Fan with a bruised face, he suddenly felt angry in his heart, and he rose up, and scolded Cao Fan: "Bastard thing, you can't eat this bit of bitterness, and it will definitely not be a product in the future." was bullied by two joining forces, and ran back in such a gray way. If you don't eat, you will be clean when you die. With that, he sobbed and sobbed.

Cao Fan was scolded by the critics, and it was also inexplicable, and the crying voice became louder and louder after seeing the words, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Auntie, who bullied you, my son is going to help you get angry." ”

"O child, my wretched child! , I was born to be bullied by Cao Yi, who was born a slut, and now these children born of a slut have joined forces to bully you! After speaking, he saw that his son was still ignorant, so he hugged Cao Fan and cried bitterly.

At this time, after saying this, he suddenly pushed away Cao Fan and said to the Xia family: "We, the Huns, revenge will not be overnight, you go and pass that slut over, I have to rectify this fox today." ”

Seeing that the Xia family couldn't be persuaded, they had to order the palace people waiting outside the palace to pass on Concubine Han.

"The good things you have done, you dare to play tricks on the master I invited for you." Cao Jue sat at the table and pretended to be angry at Cao Hong.

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "It's the son's minister, the son's minister is older, and the younger brothers are at the age of playfulness, and the son-in-law has not fulfilled his brother's responsibility, please punish his father." ”

It turned out that yesterday, after the master who taught the princes was tricked in class, he ran to Cao Hong and cried bitterly: "The old ministers are incompetent, the princes are very talented, and the old ministers can't teach the princes." ”

Cao Jue felt strange when he heard it, and ordered Yue Le to inquire about it, only then did he know what happened in the morning, Cao Jue hurriedly appeased the old master, and summoned Cao Hong to the imperial study to lecture today.

The emperor was very happy to see that Cao Hong could take the initiative to take responsibility, but he still said with a solemn face: "Learn the scriptures, don't be faster than good people, and follow the ceremony." Why do you read books? If you can't do it, what can you learn? ”

Cao Hong saw that his father said solemnly, and knew that his father was teaching him, so he also said seriously: "Erchen has written it down, and he will be close to the master and respect the master in the future." ”

Seeing what Cao Hong said solemnly, Cao Jue nodded.

At this time, Yue Le came in and said to Cao Jue: "The Tai Hospital said that Shen Liangyu's body is fine. ”

Cao Jue frowned and said, "What are you doing at home if you have nothing to do, tell him to go to the front army to see things." ”

"Yes!" Yue Le retreated.

Cao Jue turned his head again at this time and said, "Can the prince go to morning class that day?" Why don't you care. ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already seriously injured, and it is not easy to go to the morning class reluctantly, and it must be..."

"The prince of a country, he can't manage his study well, can I still count on him to run this country? Hum! "I don't know if it's because Shen Liangyu dragged on and refused to go to the front army to take office, or really because the prince didn't say a word that day. Cao Jue's mood suddenly turned sour.

Cao Hong saw that his father was in a bad mood, so he said: "Father, is the southern thief that Shen Liangyu broke very powerful?" Erchen also wanted to take the troops to Jiangnan to have a look. ”

The emperor saw Cao Hong's stiffness, and knew that he was afraid that he would be angry, so he smiled patiently: "Liu Song, the tiger is in the south of the Yangtze River, with hundreds of thousands of armor, and countless warships. There is the danger of the Yangtze River in the east, and the solidity of Jingxiang in the west, which is our great enemy! ”

"Then the first emperor of Liu Song must be a very powerful person, right?" Cao Hong asked.

Cao Jue laughed and said: "Liu Yu, it is said that he is a person who swallows thousands of miles like a tiger, but some people say that he is just an old farmer. ”

Cao Hong said in disbelief: "How can the person who founded the Song Kingdom, which can make his father and emperor pay so much attention, be an old peasant?" ”

Cao Jue saw that he didn't believe it, so he said: "This is not what I said, this is Liu Yu's son, that is, the current Song Emperor Liu Changmao himself said." Cao Jue saw that his son listened carefully, and he was also very interested.

Liu Yu was originally a general of the Jin State, but because the Jin State was weak, he forced the last emperor of the Jin State to death and became the emperor himself. Because Liu Yu himself was born poor and knew the suffering of the people at the bottom, he was very thrifty, did not repair the palace, did not accept concubines, and after the founding of the country, he also hung the farming tools he had cultivated in his early years in his dormitory to remind himself not to forget his roots, and someone in the state gave him an amber pillow, because amber can be used in medicine to stop bleeding, so he smashed the pillow and gave the amber to the generals. Therefore, the Song army, under the leadership of Liu Yu, fought fiercely and abnormally.

After listening to the words of his father Cao Qi, Cao Hong couldn't help but be leisurely fascinated: "No wonder Song Guo is so difficult, this Liu Yu is respected and does not forget his roots, he is indeed a hero." ”

Cao Jue smiled after hearing this: "Fortunately, his sons are all a group of guinea dogs, only arrogant and lascivious, and do not want to make progress, if it weren't for the fact that there are people like Shen Pu in the court, I would have sent troops to destroy it a long time ago." ”

After hearing this, Cao Hong thought carefully and said: "Erchen heard that the Southern Dynasty is the most important family, and the high-ranking officials in the court are all from the Xiao, Chen, Shen, and Xie families? ”

Cao Jue said with a smile: "That's true, these four families control the government, support each other and tilt each other. Liu Song was corrupted so quickly, and they also have their credit. ”

"The emperor is arrogant and lascivious, the ministers are nepotistic, and the family controls the government. How long can such a court hold out in the face of Great Wei and Fu Qin? Cao Hong thought of this, so he said: "Father, the soldiers of the whole country of Fu Qin and Liu Song confronted Runan, but the two countries are at war, and the consumption of grain and grass must be amazing, and it is estimated that their war is coming in an instant." If you can take advantage of the two tigers fighting at this time, bite off a piece of meat on them. This is a rare opportunity for us Dawei. ”

Cao Jue was very happy to see that Cao Hong had this insight at a young age, but he thought of his own situation. Cao Jue frowned and sighed, "How can I not be in a hurry? I have ordered Ji Yan'er Prefecture to start shipping grain and grass to Qi County for stockpiling. But Xuzhou has not been ......"

At this time, Yue Le walked in again, looked at Cao Hong, and whispered a few words in Cao Jue's ear.

Cao Hong saw that Yue Le's expression was different. It was strange, I saw my father Cao Jue "whoop", slapped the table heavily, and saw the imperial pen that reviewed the chapter flicked up, and rolled down to the table with ink stains.

"Ridiculous, I am the world, clothed with liver and gall, and sleep at night. My queen only knows how to cause trouble for me in the harem. Let's go, let's see. Cao Jue's face turned pale, and after standing up and saying to Yue Le, he strode out.

Walking to the door of the hall, Cao Jue suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Cao Hong and hesitated: "You can come with it." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Cao Hong, and went out in a hurry.
