Ding Yao asked about the emperor, and Cao Shuo replied: "Back to my mother's words, it is difficult to disobey the wishes of the people, and I really can't shirk it." ”

"What is the wish of the people?" Ding Yao said: "It's not that you want to be the emperor yourself? ”

"After conquering the world and fighting for so many years, the soldiers are tired, and I am also tired." Cao Shuo replied: "If I hand over the world to the Han court, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”

"It's not like I won't let you be the emperor." Ding Yao asked: "I heard that Xun Wenruo stopped you in the market, please crusade against Cao Zihuan and support the Han Emperor to regain the throne?" ”

"If it had been before, I would have done that." Cao Shuo replied: "Now that the heroes from all over the country have proclaimed themselves emperors, the Han family has long since declined and perished. If I were to support the emperor to regain the throne, I was afraid that before the army broke through Yecheng, his head would have been cut off by Cao Zihuan. ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, the ladies turned their heads one after another.

Some people are saying that they have long known that Cao Zihuan is that kind of person.

He even harmed his brother and family, and could he let go of an emperor who was just a puppet?

The voices of the ladies were not small, and the implication was that Cao Shuo should have been the emperor.

Some people even directly blamed Xun, saying that he was unsympathetic and did not understand the general trend of the world.

Cao Shuo didn't participate in their discussion, but just stood facing Ding Yao.

"Okay, let Zirong say." Ding Yao stopped the ladies, and then asked Cao Shuo, "How are you going to deal with Xun Wenruo?" ”

"He is an old man next to his father, and he is also an old minister of the Han family, and it is understandable that he is loyal to the Han family." Cao Shuo replied: "I didn't plan to do anything to him. ”

"If you are kind to others, you are afraid that others will not be like this to you." Ding Yao sighed, stood up and said, "I can't say, there are some things that only I, as a mother, can do for you." ”

"What is Mother going to do?" Cao Shuo looked at her in astonishment.

Ding Yao got up and replied indifferently: "You don't have to ask me what I have planned, you just need to know that your mother won't harm you." ”

"Of course I believe in Mother." Cao Shuo is still not at ease: "It's just ......"

"Nothing, just that." Ding Yao interrupted him: "If you really rest assured of your mother, don't ask again." ”

Ding Yao walked to the room outside, and the ladies got up one after another to say goodbye.

Cao Shuo, Yuan Fang and the others kept sending them to the gate of the courtyard, and only stopped at Ding Yao's signal.

Seeing Ding Yao and the others walk away, Yuan Fang asked Cao Shuo: "What does the husband think the adults want to do?" ”

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, women did not call their mother-in-law like in later generations.

The "adults" of this era are not addressed to officials, but to be addressed by the younger generations of the family to their elders.

Among them, daughters-in-law are mainly called in-laws.

"My mother has been sheltering me from the wind and rain for so many years, it used to be like this in Yecheng, but now that it is Shouchun, I thought I could let her live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect it to worry her." Cao Shuo said: "Although I am in power, some things are really helpless. ”

Looking at Zhen Mi and the step trainer, Cao Shuo asked them, "What do you think Mother will do?" ”

Zhen Mi and the step trainer glanced at each other.

The foot trainer replied: "I think the adult should go to Xun Wenruo and argue with him whether the white prince should be called the emperor." ”

His eyes fell on the face of the foot trainer, and Cao Shuo asked, "Do you really think that mother would do this?" ”

"Looking at the face of the adult, it should be like this." The foot trainer replied.

Cao Shuo also felt that Ding Yao would go to Xun, he only hoped that things would not be too bad, as for convincing Xun You, he really didn't hope to do anything.

Leaving Yuan Fang's residence, Ding Yao instructed all the ladies: "You all go back, I'll go see Xun Wenruo." ”

"Xun Wenruo followed his husband in his early years, he is a good speaker." Mrs. Huan said: "It's better for me to accompany the eldest lady, and there is also someone to help." ”

"We are also willing to accompany the eldest lady." The ladies hurriedly spoke.

Ding Yao said: "Okay, go to so many people, don't scare Xun Wenruo anymore." ”

She beckoned to Mrs. Huan: "You accompany me." ”

Mrs. Huan answered and accompanied Ding Yao to the front yard, and the other ladies went back to their respective residences after seeing them leave.

The palace built by Yuan Shu is magnificent, and there are only a few ladies around Cao Shuo, so it will not occupy too much space.

Even if Ding Yao and others moved to Shouchun, the palace room still seemed very spacious.

Ding Yao was going out, and Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, who were guarding the front yard, did not dare to slack off.

Zhu Ao counted a group of guards to escort him, while Deng Zhan asked the guards in the back garden to report to Cao Shuo.

In Yuan Fang's room, Cao Shuo sat down, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips, and the maid walked in: "Son Qiyu, General Deng asked someone to pass the word that the old lady had gone out." ”

Cao Shuo looked up at her: "Are you going to find Xun Wenruo?" ”

"General Deng didn't say it, and the slaves didn't know either." The maid replied.

With a wave of her hand, Cao Shuo motioned for her to stand back, and then said to Yuan Fang and the others: "Mother really went to find Xun Wenruo." ”

"I heard that Xun Wenruo is also an upright character, and if you go to see him, maybe there will be conflicts." Yuan Fang asked, "Husband doesn't plan to stop it?" ”

"There are some things that I don't want to say to Xun Wenruo, but it's also appropriate for my mother to talk to him." Cao Shuo said: "I also have to let Xun Wenruo know that his thoughts alone are not everyone's. ”

"When does the husband plan to become emperor?" Yuan Fang asked.

"It's only a matter of a month or two." Cao Shuo replied: "Of course, the sooner the better. Once I become emperor, the Han family will be completely finished. From now on, there will only be Great Wei in the world, and there will be no Han again! ”

"I heard that Cao Zihuan is called the emperor, and the country name is Wei." Zhen Mi asked, "Does the husband also want to use Wei?" ”

"My father was named the king of Wei, and as his orthodox heir, of course, he was given the title of Wei." Cao Shuo said: "If I change the country name, wouldn't I agree with Cao Zihuan's status?" ”

Only then did Zhen Mi and the others understand Cao Shuo's thoughts.

All the places under Cao Shuo's rule are not in Wei at all, and he also uses Wei as the country name, which makes people feel strange and reasonable.

But after his explanation, the three ladies will be clear.

The so-called use of Wei as the national name is nothing more than to prove that Cao Shuo is the real orthodox heir of the Cao family, and Cao Pi has always been something he refuses to admit and will not admit.

Cao Shuo did not intend to stop Ding Yao, and Ding Yao and Mrs. Huan, who had left the palace, rode in a carriage and were escorted by Zhu Ao and a team of guards to the door of Xun's residence.

Hearing that Ding Yao was coming, Xun dared to slack off and personally stood at the door to greet him.

After getting out of the carriage and seeing Xun, Ding Yao smiled indifferently: "How is Xun Gong?" ”

"Lady Too's blessing." Xun replied: "I'm okay!" ”

He then asked, "Why does the eldest lady have the leisure to come to me today?" ”

"I was very depressed, and I wanted to walk around, so I thought of Xun Gong." Ding Yao said: "You are the old ministry of the husband, if you don't come to talk to you, who else can you find?" ”
