Chapter 4: The Adulterous Male
Before Cao Pi's words fell, the door was pushed open again, and for a while, everyone in the room frowned. Today, in one day, two such hurried footsteps in succession received two urgent reports from Yecheng and Xuzhou, and the situation can be described as very unsmooth. Now that such footsteps are ringing again, how can everyone not be worried?
Cao Pi was going to continue to speak, but at this time, he swallowed it raw into his stomach. As soon as the door opened, Gao Ye, who was looking at the map, didn't even look back, but asked in a very depressed voice: "Don't bow down, let's say, where is the emergency military situation?" Wancheng, or Chang'an? ”
The man was just about to kneel down when he heard Gao Ye's question, and he was also stunned. However, this stunned was also fleeting, seeing that everyone was looking at him with a heavy face, the man hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Second son, my lords, it's not the military situation, it's the lord... He's awake! ”
Gao Ye turned his head sharply when he heard this, and looked at the person with a surprised expression. Seeing that he was dressed as a servant, Gao Ye knew that he was still a little preconceived just now. But no matter what, it is really a great thing that Cao Cao can wake up at this time! Even Xun Yu was ecstatic, looking incredulous, and hurriedly said, "You, what did you just say?" Is the lord awake? ”
"Yes, yes, the lord has woken up, and Mr. Hua Tuo and Mr. Zhang Ji are now checking the pulse of the lord......"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and didn't even say hello to everyone, but ran out of the house and ran to the backyard. Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong laughed out loud when they heard this, Xiahoudun took two steps closer, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong followed closely behind, and they were about to chase Cao Pi together. Xun Yu on the side hurriedly said, "Three generals, wait a minute!" Seeing that the three people looked back at themselves, Xun Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lord has just woken up, and Mr. Hua Tuo and Mr. Zhang Ji are still treating him, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to disturb." Let's let the second prince go back and wait first, let's wait for the lord to get better before visiting. ”
Xiahoudun was stunned when he heard this, but Cao Ren on the side nodded and said: "Xun Lingjun is right, this is reasonable!" We were happy for a while, and we didn't think about it that much. Yuan Rang, let's wait and go. ”
Xiahoudun also calmed down at this moment and nodded. Jia Xu on the side smiled and said: "Now fortunately, the lord has woken up, but shouldn't we change our previous plan?" ”
Xun Yu also nodded and said, "Mingxi, you've been looking at the map, how is it, what do you think?" ”
"I don't have a specific plan yet, but I have some ideas, you see......"
Gao Ye on this side was still in the lobby telling others about his plan for this war, and Cao Pi on the other side was running all the way back to Cao Cao's bedroom in the backyard. Even though Cao Pi has been practicing martial arts, this gallop along the way also made him a little breathless. When I got to the outside of the house, I didn't push the door directly, but now I was gasping outside the door and straightening my clothes, so I carefully pushed the door open and walked into the room.
I saw that in the room, the brothers Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, Mrs. Bian, Mrs. Huan and other concubines, and even Mrs. Ding, who had not recovered from her illness, were all staying here. Cao Cao, who was on the sickbed, also leaned on the pillow and half lay on the bed. Walking in a little, Cao Pi could also clearly feel that Cao Cao's face was still much better. Zhang Ji was taking Cao Cao's pulse at this time, while Hua Tuo was writing these things on the side. Cao Pi didn't dare to say much, just quietly walked to the side, silent like everyone else, waiting for the diagnosis of the two miracle doctors.
After a long while, Zhang Ji took away his hand and had a simple exchange with Hua Tuo, and then he said to Cao Cao: "Don't worry, although the head wind is strong this time, fortunately, there is no big problem." Yuanhua and I prescribed medicine to Sikong, as long as we take the medicine on time and recuperate for a while, that's it. As he spoke, he handed the prescription to the servant on the side, and then said, "Don't do anything to work, otherwise I'm afraid that the wind will get stronger." ”
Cao Cao also let out a long breath when he heard this, nodded and said, "I know, I have to thank the two gentlemen this time." Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo arched their hands even more, and then explained some precautions to Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian, and then retreated. The others didn't dare to move, but it was Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, two little guys, who ran to Cao Cao's bed at once while Mrs. Bian didn't pay attention.
Cao Cao saw the two little guys coming over, and said with a smile: "You haven't been trick-or-treating in the past few days, have you?" ”
Cao Zhang bared his little white teeth, shook his head vigorously and said: "No, my fourth brother and I are very good, my mother doesn't let us run around, we stay in the room all the time, and we will suffocate to death!" The fourth brother doesn't like to practice martial arts, the second brother is not there all day, and the eldest brother is seriously injured and has not healed......" Cao Zhang complained just now, and Cao Zhi on the side pulled Cao Zhang's sleeve suddenly. Cao Zhang was also stunned, and remembered that his mother had told him to prevaricate Cao Ang's affairs first, after all, Cao Cao had just woken up, and it was really not a good thing to suffer such a blow again. Unexpectedly, Cao Zhang was still quick to talk about it for a while.
Cao Zhang looked like he had done something wrong, bowed his head and was silent, but Cao Cao smiled, touched Cao Zhang's head and said, "It's not a big deal to go out and have fun when you're stuffy." Your second brother goes out all day long, isn't it nothing? ”
"Not really!" Cao Zhang hurriedly raised his head and said, "Second brother is here to get busy with business, not ......"
"You two children, why are you so disobedient! Your father's illness is not yet healed, so why should you disturb your father's rest! Hurry up to the side! Before Cao Zhang's words were finished, Mrs. Bian behind her slapped the heads of the two little guys angrily. Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi hurriedly retreated to the side, while Mrs. Bian helped Mrs. Ding to sit beside Cao Cao's bed. It is said that the flat husband and wife have been married for so long, and now they are suddenly in trouble, so they naturally have a lot to say. Mrs. Bian stood aside, but she first glared at Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi fiercely, and waved her head to signal the two of them to step aside.
After a while, Cao Cao also patted Mrs. Ding's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, you're not in good health, go back and rest early." Saying that, he looked at Mrs. Bian on the side and said, "These days of internal and external management have also suffered you, go and rest first." Alas, let's all disperse. ”
Mrs. Ding also had tears in her eyes when she heard this, nodded, and Mrs. Bian picked up Mrs. Ding again. When the rest of the people heard Cao Cao say that he was going to disperse, they naturally didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they all gave gifts and retired. When he was about to leave, he heard Cao Cao say again: "Zihuan and I stay." Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't leave again. Mrs. Bian hurriedly turned around and persuaded: "Sikong, your body has not been cultivated yet, so don't ......"
"It's okay, you all go and rest, I still have some things to talk to Zihuan." Mrs. Bian had to persuade Cao Cao again, but Cao Cao had closed her eyes, and Mrs. Bian had followed Cao Cao for so many years, and she also understood Cao Cao's temperament. knew that he could no longer persuade him, so he could only give up. When he walked to Cao Pi's side, he made a color, hoping that Cao Pi could understand Cao Cao's condition, so he helped Mrs. Ding to go slowly.
After a while, only Cao Pi and Cao Cao were left in the whole room. Cao Cao patted the bed and motioned for Cao Pi to sit beside him. Cao Pi didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked over, and saluted Cao Cao first, so that he was on the bed, and his buttocks were only half sitting. Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi, who was becoming more and more mature, but said with a smile: "Ziwen said that you are busy with business these days, what kind of business can you be busy with and not even go home?" ”
Cao Pi hurriedly surrendered his hand, and before he could speak, Cao Cao said: "Okay, between you and my father and son, what do you need so much etiquette for!" ”
When Cao Pi heard this, he timidly put down his hand, and then said: "Back to my father, you haven't woken up these days, and your eldest brother is ......."
"What's wrong with Zixiu?" Cao Cao frowned, "Just now Ziwen said that he was seriously injured and has not recovered, what happened?" ”
"That night, father, you had a headache and didn't even get back to the house...... I'm unconscious......" Cao Pi told Cao Cao what happened that night. Speaking of which, there were too many things that night, and there were many things that Cao Pi only found out after joining the parliament when a few people were chatting. At this time, it was told to Cao Cao, which was naturally more detailed. Especially when it came to Cao Ang's ambush, Cao Cao, who was even more excited, slapped the bed, and the word anger was almost written on Cao Cao's face. Cao Pi hurriedly got up and persuaded Cao Cao not to be angry.
Cao Cao took a few deep breaths, which could be regarded as stabilizing his anger, and looked at Cao Pi and continued: "You continue to speak." ”
Cao Pi swallowed his saliva, and then continued: "Later, thanks to Situ, he was in charge and put down the rebellion. But I heard that ......" said that Cao Pi told Cao Cao what happened that night, what he knew, and what he heard. Although Madame Bian hinted that he should take care of Cao Cao's condition, Cao Pi felt that it was more important for Cao Cao to grasp the current situation as soon as possible.
“…… Later, Situ returned from the palace and was exhausted. However, I heard that Situ seems to have scolded His Majesty in the palace and forced Dong Guiren to death. Cao Pi said hesitantly, "But it's all rumors in the market, and I don't know if it's true." Anyway, after Situ came back, he proposed to form a parliament, as a place to cut off when his father was away, and the child was also nominated by Situ as a member of the council. The child is dull, but he has learned a lot. ”
Cao Cao listened to it, but it was a rare laugh, at first he still chuckled a few times, and in the end he almost laughed, patted Cao Pi's head and said, "What a Gao Mingxi!" At the beginning, Xu Zijiang said that I, Cao Mengde, was a traitor in troubled times, and I think that when it comes to the word traitor, Gao Mingxi is not bad at all! ”
