Chapter 10 Xu Du Cao Mengde
March has come to an end, April is also coming slowly, the spring ploughing in the territory has already been carried out, for these policy arrangements, Cao Cao trusts his strategists and politicians very much, so even if he is standing in the palace hall of Xudu at this moment, Cao Cao seems to be able to see the farmer carefully cleaning up the weeds in the field, working hard to turn the soil and sow seeds, these things do not need him to worry too much.

Turn around, the front is the main hall of this Xudu Palace, there is a square platform about two meters high with black background vermilion lacquer in the middle of the inside, there is a gold lacquer carved dragon throne on it, behind it is the painted dragon screen with gold patterns on the red background, there are six tall dragon golden pillars on both sides of the square platform, straight into the top of the palace. The floors of the large hall are laid with fine wood and then painted with a thick layer of primer, so clean and bright, and the interior decoration, which has been cast at such a great expense, still looks solemn and proud even if there is no one around.
"Dong Guiren, you are wearing such a light shirt, what are you not seducing me? Come on, come on, first punish three glasses of wine, I am taking you to the royal garden to have fun. ”
The sound of laughter from the back of the hall suddenly disrupted Cao Cao's reverie, and the person who spoke was the current Son of Heaven, Liu Xie. A waste man in the real sense, poor and extravagant, greedy for cups and lewdness, and took him to Xu Du, this son of heaven seems to be drinking and having fun every day, and messing with the women in the harem.
But that's fine, as long as this person doesn't come to disturb himself to seek stability for the people of the world, then Cao Cao feels that it doesn't matter if he keeps such a waste, after all, he is the bloodline of the Han family, the orthodox heir to the Son of Heaven, and these offerings are essential.
Suddenly, a woman in a light shirt rushed out from behind the curtain, her body was covered with only a piece of tulle, the bust inside was clearly visible, her graceful figure was exposed, the charming smile on her face had not subsided, and she saw a majestic middle-aged man standing in front of her, this person was of medium height, in his forties, with white skin, a pair of sharp eagle eyes made people feel flinched at the sight, and even made people's entire back a little faintly chilled, Dong Guiren's heart knew very well what kind of person this was, Cao Cao!
Liu Xie, who was chasing from behind, suddenly saw Dong Guiren stop his steps, hugged him at once, and muttered in his mouth: "Dong Guiren, you are so hot to throw yourself into my arms, but you plan to let me correct you on the spot?" ”
Liu Xie is still full of dissolute color, fifteen-year-old age still retains a lot of immature appearance on his face, but his thin figure has been unreservedly clinging to Dong Guiren's back, and even squirming, white and tender woman-like skin, always revealing some unhealthy colors, and his somewhat small eyes are full of lightness and obscenity, without a trace of majesty at all.
After touching Dong Guiren a few times, Liu Xie suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and when he raised his head and saw Cao Cao, he immediately coughed dryly, and then pushed Dong Guiren away ruthlessly, only then did he stand up slightly straighter, and quickly waved his hand to let Dong Guiren retreat.
Cao Cao just squinted his eyes and looked at it coldly, and didn't say much gossip, until he saw Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, and then sighed: "Your Majesty should not let women enter the main hall of the palace in this palace, the emperor once strictly ordered women not to participate in politics, and the concubines in the harem must not set foot here." ”
Liu Xie frowned quite embarrassedly, and then said with a smile: "What Cao Sikong said is reasonable, just now it was Dong Guiren who got lost, so he inadvertently broke into the Great Hall, and I will take strict care of it next time." After speaking, seeing that Cao Cao still didn't seem to let go, he had to continue to divert the topic and said, "Why did Cao Sikong come here alone?" ”
Cao Cao sighed secretly, he had already asked the palace to enter the palace to inform him of the purpose of his coming, but it turned out that Liu Xie didn't seem to know at all, and it was estimated that he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Zhang Xiu is not a minister, raise troops to make a rebellion, is the minister here to ask His Majesty when will the edict of rebellion be conveyed?" After Cao Cao finished saluting, he began to wait for an answer.
Liu Xie thought for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Cao Sikong, I heard that Zhang Xiu's aunt is very beautiful, although I want to see it, but I also know that this woman is already Cao Sikong's person, so I just want to ask, is there any other strange woman in Zhang Xiu?" ”
Cao Cao heard this and felt resentful, and Cao Ang was to deal with this son of heaven on weekdays, such as what kind of edict to rebel against, or the need for Liu Xie to use the jade seal to stamp the document, Cao Ang would be arranged to pick it up, and when he confronted Zhang Xiu, he was mistaken by the beauty for a while, and Cao Ang died, but fortunately, a spy came to report recently, saying that Cao Ang was still alive, I am afraid this is also the best news in recent times.
At this moment, when he heard Liu Xie talk about Zhang Xiu's aunt, Cao Cao's face suddenly twitched, and he replied in a deep voice: "That Zhang Xiu's aunt has been killed by his subordinates, as for whether Zhang Xiu has other strange women there, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, because when crusading against Zhang Xiu in the future, as long as it is a woman, it will be the same fate, and it will not be tolerated when you see it." ”
Liu Xie only felt kicked on the iron plate, looking at Cao Cao's gloomy face, he was suddenly a little timid, he originally planned to let Cao Cao catch some beauties from Zhang Xiu's side and come back to enjoy them, it seems that this idea can't be realized, but recently he has been obsessed with Dong Guiren, which is not a very urgent need.
After thinking about it, Liu Xie waved his hand and beckoned the palace uncle who held the heirloom jade seal to come to him, and then stamped the document sent by Cao Cao, and then continued to look at Cao Cao and said: "I heard that Cao Ang is still alive, this is really good, when he comes back, Cao Sikong will quickly call him to see me, before he promised to take me outside the palace, but now it has not been realized, I am waiting for him to come back." ”
Cao Cao sighed secretly, it seems that to deal with such a son of heaven, only the intelligent and humble Cao Ang can be at ease, his own temperament is too strict, and it is okay to reprimand the ministers above the main hall, but when dealing with this absurd son of heaven, if he can't suppress the anger, he will become a great rebel, and he will be criticized by the world from then on.
After leaving the palace, Cao Cao looked at the sky, it was already evening, and it was already dinner time, but he didn't want to go home a little, because his wife Ding was angry with him.
Cao Ang's biological mother is the concubine Liu, but later she was raised by the Ding family of his wife, and the Ding family also regarded Cao Ang as his own, and he was a treasure on weekdays, this time something like this happened in Zhang Xiu, this Ding has been angry several times, and even clamored to go back to his parents' house, but fortunately, the spies came to report recently, saying that Cao Ang was still alive, which made Ding's temper suppressed.
When thinking of Ding, Cao Cao can only smile bitterly, he is dominant, every word and deed can change the color of the world, but he is helpless against this wife, thinking of this wife he loves very much, and then a wry smile, Ding is gentle and elegant, quite virtuous, and takes care of his backyard very carefully, with her by his side, Cao Cao feels that he can be busy outside, married for more than ten years, but more and more dependent on Ding, now this wife does not even want to see herself, it is really love and hate.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, Cao Ang must not have anything to do, Zhang Xiu even dared to send someone to hunt down, this revenge is to be avenged, as long as he makes a posture of raising troops to crusade in Xuchang, Zhang Xiu will definitely be able to force Zhang Xiu to arrest Cao Ang no longer scruples, as for what happens later, it depends on Cao Ang's own creation, and this way back to Xudu may still be more auspicious.
"Tell the lord, there is new news from Cao Ang's side." It was a burly man who spoke, with dark skin, eyes like copper bells, a mouth as large as a basin, and all the hairs standing upright like steel needles, making people feel very powerful.
"Xu Chu, why don't you want to go into the palace with me to meet Your Majesty, you have to stand outside the palace and wait?" Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu who was standing outside the palace gate, and casually took the secret letter made of sheepskin from him.
Xu Chu's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, he thought for a while, and then quickly shook his head and replied angrily: "I don't know!" ”
Cao Cao was still slowly uncovering the secret letter of the sheepskin, and when he heard Xu Chu's answer, he was suddenly happy and puzzled: "Your own decision, why don't you even know yourself?" ”
Xu Chu touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and then showed his snow-white big teeth and said with a smile: "Guo Jiajun didn't let me in, only said that he was not allowed to go in if he followed the lord to the gate of the palace, otherwise he would break my legs." ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood Guo Jia's intentions, Xu Chu was very reckless, if he entered the palace and saw the Son of Heaven, he really didn't know what would happen, so it was safest and safest to let him stand outside the palace.
After reading the secret letter from the sheepskin, Cao Cao suddenly showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Cao Ang broke through the Bowangpo Pass with the strength of a few people, and he is strong, Xu Chu will go back with me quickly, I still have a lot of things to deal with." ”
Cao Cao was very happy at the moment, and after getting into the car, he then asked Xu Chu, who was guarding outside: "Why is Guo Jia a scholar, you Xu Chu is the enemy of ten thousand people, how can you worry about Guo Jia breaking your legs?" ”
Xu Chu immediately showed a worried look, and only after a long time did he frown and replied: "The difference between the lord's words, although Guo Jia's military division is not as good as me, but he can always find various reasons to beat me with military methods, this deal is too bad, I don't want to fight with him." ”
Cao Cao laughed a few times, and ordered the car to move forward immediately, today is a very happy day, go back in the evening and give this secret letter to the Ding family to see, maybe you can stay in her house.
At night, in Cao's mansion, Ding gently put down the sheepskin secret letter in his hand, and then sighed lightly, the age of forty did not make her face overly aged, but revealed a mature charm and faint majesty, under the graceful and luxurious package, even Cao Cao, who was sitting cross-legged, could feel the awe-inspiring momentum of his wife.
"If Ang'er can come back, the concubine won't say anything unpleasant, if Ang'er can't come back, you and I will never see each other again." After Ding finished speaking, his face immediately turned a little sad.
Cao Cao was secretly happy in his heart, this was the first time in several months that the Ding family was willing to talk to him normally, and on weekdays, it was basically Cao Cao who was talking alone, and the Ding family was completely silent.
Moving his position slightly, Cao Cao moved his body from the mat on the ground to the side of Ding's side, and then coughed dryly: "It's all my fault, I became confused in Wancheng at the beginning, Cao Ang is okay now, I am happier than anyone else, and I also sent Qingzhou Shi to respond, as long as Qingzhou Shi and Cao Ang successfully meet, then no one in the world can hurt him." ”
Ding nodded slowly, looked at Cao Cao again, and then sighed deeply, in the face of this husband, she really didn't know what to say, although she was very angry, but after all, she was an old husband and wife, and now that Cao Ang was still alive, her heart was a lot more relieved, but she felt a little guilty about treating Cao Cao so resolutely a few days ago.
Cao Cao saw that Ding Shi let down his guard, and immediately smiled and continued: "Cao Ang said that he met two immortals on the way to escape this time, this child may not have grown up yet, and he still has these gods and demons in his head, and he is not afraid to make people laugh." ”
Ding Shi thought for a moment and said, "But you can't say that, Ang'er is twenty years old after all, how can she not tell these things, and ......"
Speaking of this, Ding Shi seemed to remember something sad again, and a burst of tears hung in his eyes again, and he sighed for a long time: "Ang'er was so seriously injured, it was said that the ribs could be seen through a hole in the chest, more than three or four inches, what is the matter, why should the child of the concubine suffer such a big sin?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately frowned and said unhappily: "How can Madame know these details?" ”
On weekdays, these sheepskin secret letters can not be unsealed except for him Cao Cao, and he has never told Ding the details of Cao Ang's injury, but now Ding already knows, how can this not make Cao Cao wonder?
Ding's eyebrows stood slightly, glared at Cao Cao and said, "The concubine wants to know who can stop it?" ”
Seeing Ding's frowning, Cao Cao could only be discouraged: "Aren't I afraid that you know too much and cause unnecessary worries?" ”
Ding was still a little angry, and hurriedly continued: "What's wrong with the mother worrying about her son? Don't you even want to give this right to a concubine? ”
Seeing that Cao Cao was speechless, Ding's heart softened, shook his head and sighed: "The two benefactors who saved Ang'er this time, but they have to repay them better, and they can be saved from such serious injuries, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are immortals, especially when Ang'er's wound became inflamed later, and they can also be treated, where can mortals use such means?" ”
Cao Cao was also puzzled when he heard this, although he was skeptical about the statement of any immortal, but in the information that came back, Cao Ang did say in detail about the process of healing his wound after inflammation, even now it is very magical, and the immortal artifact that was described is unheard of.
Ding Shi saw that Cao Cao didn't speak, so he continued: "It can be said that this pair of masters and apprentices use artifacts to cure diseases and save people, but Bo Wangpo's fire attack strategy, I have to say that this pair of masters and apprentices is also a strategist, you have always liked talents, don't you want to envelop this pair of masters and apprentices?" ”
Cao Cao did not evade, nodded and smiled: "This pair of masters and apprentices is indeed extraordinary, saving Cao Ang twice is enough to prove their strength, when they return to Xudu safely, I will definitely invite them to sit in the house, and then you can also see if their master and apprentice are really immortals." ”
