Li Jiancheng adjusted his mood, and immediately summoned Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to discuss the next morning:

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"The three Qing families are exempt! Come! All sit! After Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui sat down, Wei Zheng quietly observed Li Jiancheng's face and found that Li Jiancheng's face was much more ruddy than yesterday. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info look at it, the depression in my heart has been relaxed, and some of them are secretly relieved. And Li Jiancheng did not greet Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and directly cut to the topic.

"The three Qing families, the reason why this palace wants the three of you to come here today is because this palace has already thought of a far-reaching plan. Stick out your heads, and this house will come and tell you. Li Jiancheng said, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded.

"This matter must not be leaked out, and if it is leaked, those who violate the order will be beheaded."

"Yes!" Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded together. A few days later, in Shandong Leshou, Cao Dan was in the barracks disposing of grain and grass.

"Lord Cao, now King Dou's first batch of grain and grass of 150,000 stone has been shipped on the road, and the military salary is being raised, and now the people are lacking, mainly because, "...... The voices of Cao Dan's subordinates became quieter and quieter. Cao Dan knew in his heart that his subordinates meant to deduct the wages and rations of the people, and because of the long distance, the people traveled a long distance, and because of fatigue and malnutrition, a large number of people died on the road. A lot of people have gone and never returned.

"Hmmm! Do you still want to ask me about this little thing? If there are no people, they will recruit them, but if they can't do it, they will transfer the soldiers of the reserve battalion to send food to the front line. "The reserve battalion, the mouth of the subordinate moved, and his heart was shocked--the reserve battalion is a reserve army set up by Dou Jiande in order to prevent any turmoil in Shandong and any mistakes on the Luoyang front, and is responsible for the defense of the rear and the training of new soldiers. Always ready to support everywhere, if those new Ding are transferred to the front line to transport grain, once King Dou has something to do, he will have to mobilize the reserve battalion, and the reserve battalion will not be able to draw enough troops to support, the consequences will be unimaginable. The subordinate officer stood there and did not move, Cao Dan was looking at the official document and found that the subordinate officer did not leave:

"Is there anything else you can do?"

"My lord! This reserve battalion ......" Cao Dan said impatiently:

"I am in charge of the affairs here, and in the future, the Shandong world will be surnamed Cao, can't I bear it?" As soon as the subordinate officer heard Cao Dan say this, he immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking. After the subordinate officer left, Cao Dan took out another account book from under the desk, which recorded the materials and silver taels that Cao Dan had withheld these days. Looking at the number written down on it, Cao Dan seemed to see a silver mountain.

"Ying'er, dad earns more money for you, family property, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future." Just a few days ago, Cao Dan's concubine Heng Fangxin gave birth to a son for Cao Dan, Cao Dan was very happy and named Cao Ying personally, and after Cao Ying was born, Mrs. Cao also secretly revealed the news that Dou Jiande has no children, and in the future, Dou Jiande's world will be inherited by Cao Dan. Originally, Mrs. Cao's original intention was to hope that Cao Dan would be able to collect some burials, and stop scraping the bones and marrow of the people on the Shandong territory, who knows that it had the opposite effect, since Dou Jiande personally supported Wang Shichong in Luoyang, he ordered Cao Dan to stay behind, Cao Dan had no constraints, and it became even worse, and the people of Shandong were even more miserable. Just when Cao Dan was immersed in his joy, a woman's shouting cry sounded outside the door:

"It's over, it's over! I want to see my lord, you let me in!" ”

"Madam, your lord is on official business, and your lord has ordered it in advance, and no one can disturb you. Please go back, Madame! ”

"Go back, I won't go back, my lord, my lord, I'm Fang Xin! My lord, I beg you to see me, I have something important to report, my lordship...... Cao Dan was annoyed by the noise outside.

"Who is arguing outside!? Didn't the official say that the official is handling important official business, and no one should disturb him while the official is handling official business? Outside the door, Cao Dan's cronies walked in and reported:

"Lord Cao, it's not us who are noisy, it's Madame who is yelling outside."

"Hmmm! Madame came. Let Madame in. "Since Heng Fangxin gave birth to Cao Ying, she was helped into the main room by Cao Dan. After Heng Fangxin walked in, she immediately fell into Cao Dan's arms and cried.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency! You're going to be the little woman! Cao Dan stroked Heng Fangxin's back and gently comforted Heng Fangxin.

"Ma'am, what happened? How did you get here? ”

"My lord, something big has happened, and it's gone."

"What?" …… After Cao Dan listened to Heng Fangxin's words, he immediately rode a fast horse and took Heng Fangxin back home. Cao Dan now has only one son, and this son is Cao Dan's heart, but there must be no problems! When he returned to the house, Cao Dan ran directly to his son Cao Ying's nursery. I only saw the nurse and the maid waiting for the little master crying on the side, and the housekeeper sighing on the side. As soon as he saw Cao Dan come back, the housekeeper immediately saluted Cao Dan and said:

"See, sir, you're back." Cao Dan didn't care about the housekeeper, and asked directly to the nurse who was kneeling in front of him and the maid who was waiting for the little master:

"What the hell is going on? What about the little master? The nurse and the maid who was waiting for the little master wept and said:

"My lord, my lord's ......" Cao Dan angrily slapped the nurse and the maid waiting for the little master:

"What are you doing? Hurry up and tell me, what the hell is going on? Say it! The nurse and the maid who was waiting for the young master were so frightened that they hurriedly told the story.

"Adult, the little one just fed the little young master, the little young master was playing on the bed, and suddenly, the slave maid and the little cloud smelled a fragrance and fell asleep. Suddenly, we were woken up by Madame, and Madame asked me where the little master was, and the slave pointed to the bed, only to find that the little master was gone. At this time, Heng Fangxin walked in, cried and took Cao Dan's hand and said:

"Your Excellency! Ying'er is your own flesh and blood! It's also your only blood and bones, master, you must get Ying'er back! If I can't find it back, I'm a slave, and I'm not going to live. Suddenly, Heng Fangxin fainted, Cao Dan quickly helped Heng Fangxin up, and the maid in the room panicked:

"Madame, ma'am, quick, go and get a doctor!" After Cao Dan put Heng Fangxin on the bed, he said to the nurse and the maid who was waiting for the little master:

"This time I will spare you first, take good care of Madame, butler, you come with me!" The nurse and the maid who was waiting for the little master kowtowed, and the housekeeper followed Cao Dan to the study tremblingly:

"Cao Fu (Cao Dan's housekeeper name)! What do you do when something happens? Cao Fu trembled and replied to Cao Dan's words:

"Adult, little one hears the news,...... After hearing the news...... The door was immediately closed,...... After closing the house gate...... The search was outside the little master's room...... Extinguished incense was seen outside, and a not-so-clear footprint was found on the moss in the backyard. You can see it...... It can be seen that it was a person with light skills who robbed the little master, and the little one didn't dare to delay, and he had already blocked the news and waited for the master to come back and deal with it. Cao Fu said as he looked at Cao Dan's eyes.

"Cao Fu! Why don't you immediately notify the Leshou garrison and ask them to seal the city gate and search the whole city? Cao Fu settled his mind:

"Adult, I don't know if I should say a word or not?"

"You say!"

"Adult, the little one thinks that it is not an ordinary thief who robbed the little master...... It's premeditated, and you may want to make some deals with adults......" After hearing Cao Fu's analysis, Cao Dan asked Cao Fu:

"Cao Fu! Why do you think so? ”

"My lord, you have a high position in the area of Leshou in Shandong, and ordinary thieves don't dare to do anything to you, even if some people take risks, there are so many treasures in our house, why steal a baby who is less than a year old." Cao Fu said this, and quietly looked at Cao Dan again. Cao Dan nodded and motioned for Cao Fu to continue:

"Adults, so the little ones think that after a while, someone will definitely contact the adults." Cao Dan instructed Cao Fu:

"Cao Fu! Inform the people in the house to be smart, if someone sends any news, they will immediately detain the person to the official, and the official will follow the vine and cut the person who stole the young master of the official. ”

"Yes!" In the evening, Cao Fu walked out of Cao Dan's mansion and came to his private house outside Cao Dan's mansion, and after lighting the candles in the house, he saw two people sitting in the house. Cao Fu immediately knelt down to the two people:

"The lowly Qilin secretly guards Le Shou Qianhu, Li Laifu sees His Royal Highness the Prince, and commands Lord Xu." Sitting in the room were Li Tang's crown prince, His Royal Highness Li Jiancheng, and Xu Jingzong, the commander of the Qilin secret guard. Li Jiancheng secretly instructed Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to go to Leshou in person to arrange the action against Cao Dan, and Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui opposed Li Jiancheng's actions together:

"Your Highness, Shandong Leshou is the land of tigers and wolves, you must not go there in person!"

"Yes! Your Highness, the trip to Shandong is dangerous, and there is no holy will, if Your Highness leaves Taiyuan, I am afraid that there will be a suspicion of disrespect for the will! ”

"Yes! Your Royal Highness, Taiyuan is now also a dangerous place for soldiers, the Turks are eyeing me, according to the minister's family letter, the Turks have arranged a large number of troops in the Guanzhong area, Liu Wuzhou is also in the Dingxiang area from time to time sharpening knives, bent on making a comeback, just afraid of His Royal Highness's prestige, so he did not act rashly. Your Highness, don't move lightly! Li Jiancheng said emotionally:

"The three adults don't have to stop the palace, the prince thought about it last night, Cao Dan is cunning, if the palace doesn't go in person, I'm afraid he can't instigate, as for the disrespect for the will, didn't the father have a hint to let the palace help King Qin? Since the father has a secret decree, the palace naturally has to obey it. In this way, Li Jiancheng was a light car, dressed as a member of the Heng family caravan, and quietly came to Shandong Leshou.
