The weather on this day was actually quite fine, just when Mu Yang'an was quietly squatting in the mansion of the late Taiwei, a long line slowly drove out from the Houde Gate in the north of Xudu and headed towards Heliang in the north of the city. In the team, there were today's son and the imperial concubine, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, Situ Zhao Wen and hundreds of officials of the imperial court, and even the eldest son of Cao Gong also came.

Along the way, many scholars and idle people followed and watched. They all know that today is the day of His Majesty's ancestors, and this trip is a grand ceremony that cannot be missed for those children of the scholar clan and the people in Xuchang City who do not understand.

However, to their disappointment, the honor guard of the procession was very simple, only the emperor and the imperial concubine were in a double-wheeled carriage in the green feather and yellow, and there were only more than a dozen yellow doors with crowns. Others are light cars, and many even have to walk on dry dirt roads.

The two armies around Yi Hu were originally supposed to be Yulin and Qimen, but for well-known reasons, they were replaced by other guards. These guards were divided into two parts: the infantry were all in black armor, and they were the elite of Cao Ren's battalion; The cavalry was the tiger and leopard cavalry commanded by Cao Chun; These two teams were distinctly angry, swords, and guns, and compared with the poor team's honor guards, they were more than a star and a half, and thus those unlucky and hard-working civil and military officials were even more resentful.

However, Liu Xie in the car did not have any expression about this. He knew that this was a deliberate trick by Cao Cao, tight on the outside and loose on the inside. For this kind of inconsequential incident, he showed a posture of oppressing the imperial power, but in the area that really involved his core strength, Cao Cao was very tolerant - this contrast was to let the royalists in the court and his secret forces lose ground, so that they took the initiative to jump out one by one, and then Cao Cao was captured.

The carriage was silently rolling forward, and Liu Xie sat in the carriage, trying to stretch his neck outward, greedily inhaling the cold air outside. Since he came to Xudu, he could only stay in a limited number of places in the Imperial Palace and Sikong Mansion, which were narrow and cramped, making him so depressed that he was about to go crazy. It was rare to make a trip, and finally let his mountain heart have a moment of respite.

"Your Majesty, you should be the son of today, and you should be an example for hundreds of officials, and if you do this, you will lose the prestige of the Son of Heaven." Cao Jie reminded softly beside him. Liu Xie immediately turned his head and looked at Cao Jie playfully without saying a word, and after seeing Cao Jie looking around and wondering where he was out of shape, Liu Xie reached out and hugged the prince in Cao Jie's arms, and coaxed: "Good son, you have a good grandfather!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Jie's face that was still looking forward to hesitation was immediately like a summer flower that was suddenly frosted, and his heart was caught off guard by a heavy punch. She looked at the beautiful scene of father and son in front of her in a daze, and suddenly felt that she was so far away from the man in the Xuanwu imperial robe......

Over the past year, Liu Xie has become more and more handsome, but at the same time, he seems to be becoming more and more indifferent to himself. Even, even after he gave birth to a prince for him, he said softly: "If this son is a daughter, he can save his life for a lifetime." It's a pity that as a prince, ......."

Looking back, at that time, Liu Xie's eyes were a little lonely and melancholy. Cao Jie felt that he should have noticed his abnormality at that time. But what can we do about the current situation, even if we are aware of it?

Cao Jie is very sure that Liu Xie has always had the ambition to hold power alone. It's just that in those previous times, the Cao family stabilized the Han family and was the savior of the Han family. Liu Xie has always hidden this ambition very deeply, very deeply, even to the extent that he has been deceived, and only thinks that it is the supreme ambition in a man's chest.

But later, after Cao's defeat on the battlefield in Jizhou, Liu Xie's ambition seemed to have begun to deteriorate. Previously, the Han family and the Cao family had a huge Ma family, and they both restrained themselves from maintaining an extremely tacit cooperative relationship. Even, for the smooth progress of this relationship, Liu Xie also handed over his princess and daughter of the late chariot general Dong Cheng to Jing Ancao for disposal. At that time, Concubine Dong was still pregnant with his child.......

Cao Jie couldn't remember when the relationship between the Han family and the Cao family gradually developed to the point where she couldn't turn left and right. There is no doubt that Cao's defeat in Jizhou was a turning point. But after the defeat, although the Cao family's vitality was damaged, it did not reach the point of running out of oil and drying up, why...... Why can't the two families work together again after that incident? And why did the father and husband become more and more humble and courteous on the surface, but behind the scenes, they began to fight to the death?

"Your Majesty, why do you have to come to worship your ancestors today?" Cao Jie thought about it for a long time before he used this tentative topic to knock on the side.

"Because the Cao clan is no longer the heroic prince who was bent on expanding outward." Liu Xie smiled, and then he carefully placed his son on his legs like a loving father, and when he made the baby giggle with his fingers, he continued: "You don't have to be so tactful, I know that you are the most difficult person to be caught in the middle. However, now the Han family has little use value for the Cao family; And for me, the Cao family has no use value. With both sides set their sights on the power of the court, there was no basis for cooperation at all. So, we got into a falling apart between us. ”

"But the external troubles have not been eliminated, the Cao family will always be ......" Cao Jie said quickly, she knew that her father's ambition would never be satisfied only with the land of Sanzhou.

"Then you tell me, how much is the possibility of the Cao family defeating the Ma family now?"

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth curled, as if it was a mockery. Cao Jie was speechless, she had never seen Liu Xie make such an expression to her, and she was even more reluctant to say the answer to this question. At the moment, she could only take her son from Liu Xie's hands in silence, looking at this healthy and lively son, Cao Jie understood that there might be only this trace of bond left between her and Liu Xie. Perhaps, when this bond is gone......

Cao Jie's heart suddenly hurt, and tears almost overflowed. Babies are the most sensitive, feeling their mother's grief and crying loudly. And as a result, the palace maids outside the car stepped forward for a while, or breastfeeding and teasing, or kowtowing to beg the prince not to cry anymore, and there was a mess for a while. The only communication space between the two was disrupted, which made Cao Jie exhausted for a while.

And just when the two of them were silent with each other in the car, the single was mixed in the honor guard, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When others walked, they didn't squint, but he was different, his eyes swept around, trying to remember every detail of this trip.

The single song actually admired Mu Yuanfeng at this time, and in two days, he got a set of honor guard costumes, and after some code words, he successfully mixed into this team. Although the imperial power is declining now, and even the halogen book cannot be completed, it is extremely difficult to easily get into it.

This time, the other shadows all blended into the imperial tomb in advance to do some preparatory work - this is also the credit of Mu Yuanfeng, this time, the single made Mu Yuanfeng a little more admired - this time, the task of the single is to observe the entire team, do a good job of burning the imperial tomb, create chaos, and cooperate with the outside to make everyone get out smoothly.

The single moved forward quietly, his eyes turned around, and he couldn't help but relax when he saw that although this trip was heavily guarded, there was nothing special about it. At this moment, Shan Qu felt a chill in his neck, and a steel knife was held in front of his throat. With just half an inch forward, he could slit his throat and let steaming human blood spill on the ground.

The single was so frightened that he didn't even dare to turn his head, the whole person froze in place, only a mocking voice came from his ears: "Crossing the road, colliding with the rider, are you kid impatient?" ”

At this time, the single realized that he was about to arrive at the imperial mausoleum, and he was too distracted, and he was a little too close to the emperor's chariot for a while, and was caught by Cao Ren. Perhaps considering killing people in front of the emperor's car, Cao Rencai did not cut off the head of the single song with a single knife.

However, even so, someone will soon pull him down to the Fa-rectification. The single didn't know how to speak for a while, only looked at Cao Ren's stocky figure and sarcastic look, and quickly knelt on the ground and pretended to be sincerely afraid: "General, the villain won't dare next time, and he will really not dare next time......."

Seeing that the single was so boneless, Cao Ren seemed to sneer, but his expression was a little relaxed: "The honor guard in the palace has fallen like this, it's really a shame for Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Ren seemed to have something to say this, but this time it alarmed Liu Xie in the car, he lifted the curtain of the car, seemed to know what was going on, and responded with some sadness: "Yes, Cao Jun is getting more and more fierce, and there are some useless wastes left around me." How? Does General Cao still want to ridicule me? ”

This sentence was really heavy, and Cao Ren didn't dare to speak, so he had to get off the horse and ask for guilt. Liu Xie didn't seem to want to have too much conflict with the Cao family, and after the two talked nonsense for a while, Cao Ren got on the horse again and retired.

As for the singles, they were lucky to have escaped this catastrophe. However, when he completely put his heart back into his stomach, he felt that his whole body suddenly seemed to be swept by a tsunami, almost suffocating and falling - Liu Xie seemed to have a mischievous smile when he put it on the car curtain, and made a lip shape to the single: "Burn hard!" ”
