Chapter 1027: Prince Today
The prince's mansion is in the middle of Qinghefang, covering an area of more than 20 acres, which is a very terrible thing in Qinghefang, where every inch of land is gold, originally Cao Yun's mansion was not so big, only about half, but it was also one of the best in Qinghefang, only slightly smaller than Cao Chong's mansion, and now it has almost doubled, but after the end of the Chuqi War, Cao Yun immediately wrote to the emperor, and resigned from the post of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses on the grounds that his heart and mind were exhausted and his body was overwhelmed, and the emperor Cao Tiancheng personally ordered the expansion. The original ones? Naturally, you have to obediently vacate the house, and if you have the ability to find another house in Qinghefang, if you don't have the ability, you have to move away.
Cao Yun accepted it calmly. Not only did he accept it calmly, but after accepting these places, he also demolished all the original houses and rebuilt them all. This Hua Fei is an astronomical amount, so much so that it is rumored in Chang'an City that Cao Yun made a fortune when he fought the Chu State, and everyone in the Qi State knows that the Chu State is a well-known rich old man!
These news reached the ears of Emperor Cao Tiancheng, Cao Tiancheng not only did not think it was angry, but in addition to laughing, he gave Cao Yun ten thousand gold, and as soon as the emperor's attitude was revealed, all kinds of rumors in Chang'an City that were not conducive to Cao Yun immediately came to an abrupt end.
Guo Xiancheng is Cao Yun's favorite general, and he is the generalissimo of today's soldiers and horses, entering and leaving Cao Yun's mansion, but he doesn't have to wait for the next person to report, the door saw Guo Xiancheng's visit, and immediately welcomed him in person, while reporting in, a moment later, first the prince's mansion housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, and then Cao Yun's son Cao Kai also came out to greet him.
"Uncle Guo, my father is staring at him, and my nephew has already sent someone to inform my father." Cao Kai gave Guo Xiancheng a military etiquette. Cao Kai is now serving in the Thunder Army, and Guo Xiancheng is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, controlling the soldiers and horses of the Qi country, and it is not bad to say that it is Guo Xiancheng's subordinate.
"No need, I'll go directly to the back to see the prince!" Guo Xiancheng was a little surprised: "Isn't there a large construction site behind?" The prince is noble, where to stay and what to do?"
Cao Kai smiled bitterly: "Since he retired, my father has been obsessed with building these pavilions, pavilions, garden canals, soaking with craftsmen every day, and actually modifying the drawings himself, and he is actually happy every day. Almost all of the day, I spend a day in the company of artisans."
Guo Xiancheng paused for a moment and sighed: "The prince has just retired, and he has been idle to nothing all of a sudden, and he doesn't find something to do, what can he do?" What's going on? Alas, the prince is bitter in his heart!"
Cao Kai's face changed slightly: "Uncle Guo, this is ......"
Guo Xiancheng waved his hand: "Xian is not afraid of worrying, that is, in this prince's mansion, I dare to say this, elsewhere, even if I make random words?"
Cao Kai lowered his voice: "Uncle Guo, today's palace is not what it used to be, you also know that the house has almost doubled in size, so naturally it will have to recruit many more people to come in, and here, there will be no ......."
Guo Xiancheng was furious: "Cao Hui, he dares to stuff people into the prince's mansion? He is really bold, why didn't the prince beat these people with a board and then send them to Cao Hui's house?"
"Be quiet, be quiet!" Cao Kai waved his hand again and again: "Uncle Guo, be quiet. The father of these people has specially instructed that not only should they be accepted as many as possible, but they must also be placed in important positions in the house."
Hearing this, Guo Xiancheng was stunned for a long time, "Why is the prince doing this?" The prince is loyal, how can Your Majesty not know? There's no need to do that."
"Uncle Guo, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, I rode a horse and archery, my uncle personally taught me, and my nephew doesn't have to hide it from you, I can't figure it out, you think about it, there are more of these ghost spies in the family, and they will talk and do things in the future, they are all awkward, and when you think about your casual words that you don't know when, you will go up to the sky to listen, and you can be creepy when you think about it. Our Cao family is also a noble emperor, golden branches and jade leaves, my father has resigned as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, why don't you worry?" He paused and said angrily: "I don't believe it, Cao Hui stuffed people in the mansion, Your Majesty would not know. To know and not to stop is to acquiesce, and it's chilling to think about."
Guo Xian was speechless.
"Let's go!" Since the Son of Heaven acquiesces, then what else is there to say. It's just that the prince has made too many military exploits over the years, and almost all of the generals in the army are from the prince's disciples, and the emperor is not at ease.
The reason why Cao Yun resigned as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses was not that he really couldn't stand it, but because he was forced by the times, the emperor took power, and the situation of reforming the domestic political situation was already lice on the bald head. From last winter to this spring, An Ruhai, the general of the Chu State, crossed the Luoying Mountain Range, ravaged several counties of the Qi State, and the soldiers even approached Chang'an City, although at that time, almost all the elite soldiers and horses of the Qi State were concentrated in Luzhou to besiege the main force of the Chu State, but did the Great Qi really have no strength to deal with An Ruhai?
Of course not.
It's just because An Ruhai fought against the extremely stubborn county rule of the old forces, and those places were also the places where the emperor's reform encountered the greatest resistance, otherwise An Ruhai would not have been able to set off such a big storm and stir up so many people to join the army willingly, and launched a brutal purge of these places.
This is what the Emperor would like to see. The emperor is not good to do it himself, so An Ruhai will do it. This is the emperor's wishful thinking, otherwise, he only needs to send the dragon inlay army to guard Chang'an, supplemented by the soldiers of various counties and counties, and it is enough to quell the chaos.
But the emperor didn't do this, he would rather force Cao Yun to draw troops from Luzhou, force Cao Yun to launch the Luzhou campaign in advance, and would rather let Min Ruoying survive. All he did was to delay time and let An Ruhai clean these places.
The emperor started this matter, is to learn from the experience of Qin Feng of the Ming State, the reason why Qin Feng is so prosperous on the territory of Qianyue, is nothing more than the attack of Qin before Moluo's rebellion, so that the old forces in many places of Yue have been swept away, which is now the thriving Ming Dynasty.
The emperor is learning from Qin Feng's experience! What's more, this is still a technique of killing two birds with one stone, because Cao Yun was able to kill Min Ruoying completely, but he topped the emperor for a period of time, this top, it was not the emperor who offended, the emperor was happy to see it, but Cao Yun offended the old forces above the court, the emperor had bad intentions, and hundreds of officials attacked in every way, and finally Min Ruoying escaped, Cao Yun could not resign, what else could Cao Yun do?
It's best to step down decently, is it really possible to wait until you are bombarded from power?
Guo Xiancheng can understand the pain in Cao Yun's heart. If Cao Yun was still in this position, he wouldn't have to be put on the fire, and now he was roasted uncomfortably.
This generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses is not a beauty difference for Guo Xiancheng! As a defeated general, how can He De take on such a heavy responsibility? It's nothing more than that the emperor needs a weak generalissimo .
Guo Xiancheng himself is also bitter in his heart.
Seeing Cao Yun from a distance, Guo Xiancheng's heart felt sour, the generalissimo who commanded thousands of troops and horses in the past was wearing a cloth coat at the moment, with the placket tucked into his belt, and was getting together with several craftsmen, pointing at a drawing.
"Father, Guo Shuai has come to see you!" Cao Kai trotted a few steps, arrived at Cao Yun's side, and bowed down.
Cao Yun looked up, saw Guo Xiancheng, laughed and waved his hand: "Xiancheng, you wait, I still have one last point to confirm here."
Guo Xiancheng smiled and bowed. looked at Cao Yun over there, but he looked like he was enjoying himself. But is that really what the prince thinks in his heart?
After a while, Cao Yun patted the dirt on his hand and walked over. Xiancheng, you busy man, why did you think of coming to see me today?"
Guo Xiancheng bowed again: "Dashuai, Xiancheng has been back to Chang'an for a long time, and he has never come to visit Dashuai, firstly, because he is really busy with official business, and secondly, he is afraid of causing trouble to you, Dashuai."
Causing trouble, naturally, is because if the current generalissimo has too much contact with the former generalissimo, the emperor will be dissatisfied, Guo Xiancheng understands this, so after returning to Chang'an, he did not come to visit his former boss for a long time.
"I'm thinking too much." Cao Yun smiled, waved his hand and said, "If you don't come, there will be no silver three hundred taels here. The old future will come to see the old boss, Your Majesty doesn't have any open-mindedness, if you really don't come, Your Majesty will be unhappy. I won't be satisfied!"
After listening to Cao Yun's words, Guo Xiancheng suddenly understood, and a layer of fine cold sweat immediately oozed from his back.
"Thank you for your advice."
"Don't call me handsome, you're the handsome now." Cao Yun laughed.
"In Xiancheng's heart, you will always be Xiancheng's handsome." Guo Xiancheng said solemnly.
Seeing Guo Xiancheng's appearance, Cao Yun was stunned, then laughed again, patted Guo Xiancheng on the shoulder, and said: "Very good, I know that you have always been an emotional person, and I don't owe it to me for recommending you before I stepped down, Zhou Jiyun hates me for this matter. I came back to Chang'an a few days ago, but I didn't enter through my door!"
Guo Xiancheng said with some amazement: "Speaking of which, Jiyun is indeed more suitable for this position than me."
Cao Yun laughed: "You don't understand, Jiyun doesn't understand, in this position now, if you sit up, you can still get out of the way, if it's Jiyun, I'm afraid it won't end well." Speaking of this, Cao Yun lowered his voice. He is too strong, and he has a clever staff to assist him, and Your Majesty, you don't need a strong generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, with me as one, the emperor has had enough."
Guo Xiancheng looked at Cao Yun with some shock.
Cao Yun patted him on the shoulder and pointed to a lotus pond on the other side, "Let's go, where are we going, come to me today, I'm afraid there is something, right?" But now that I'm not in my position, I'm not in charge, so don't expect me to give you any ideas."
