Of course, Cao Qian's worries are naturally unnecessary. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zheng De returned to the palace, he asked Cao Xiong to come over. looked at the middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a haggard face in front of him. Obviously, being escorted all the way from Shaanxi to Beijing did not suffer less.

"Don't mind, I'm not in fashion to bow down, hurry up." Seeing Cao Xiong who was about to kneel, Zheng De stopped him with a smile, and then teased, "I have already made an edict 'It's a dog that will kneel and lie on his stomach when he sees me', so don't kneel for the sake of your reputation." ”

Cao Xiong was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know whether this was true or not. I was also surprised that the emperor could say such vulgar words, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Zheng De didn't care about the former's gaffe, looked at him and asked with a smile, "Do you know why I summoned you?" ”

"The guilty minister has lost his temper, please forgive your majesty." Cao Xiong reacted at this time and quickly knelt down on one knee to salute.

Zheng De looked at him and waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Xiong, who had just stood up, heard the emperor ask again, "Do you know why I summoned you?" ”

He glanced at Cao Qian, who was standing aside, and was extremely surprised that his son appeared here, and vaguely felt that the emperor's summons must be related to his son. But he said, "The sinner doesn't know. ”

"I really don't know?" Zheng De looked at him with a smile.

He had already put his son aside so obviously, if this one still couldn't guess why he summoned him. Most of them are deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid, and they are insulting my intelligence. If so, what should be done with this lying guy?

He suddenly felt a little big.

Cao Xiong glanced at Cao Qian again when he heard this, and when he saw his son bowing slightly, he instantly understood. Zhao Zheng De arched his hand and said, "The criminal minister really doesn't know, but maybe it has something to do with the criminal minister's dog." ”

Zheng De, who saw all this in his eyes, said with a smile, "You gave birth to a good son!" ”

Cao Xiong was stunned, and he didn't understand why the emperor said this, could it be that his son had done something great?

It is not impossible to think that his son will appear in the capital thousands of miles away, and even more magically appear directly next to the emperor. But what did he do that made the emperor can't help but praise and bring him directly into the palace?

However, his son's talent, among other things, is a good hand at leading troops to fight. But this can't be used anywhere else except on the battlefield, it's really incomprehensible.

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, how can the dog He De be so praised by His Majesty, it is really deserved."

Zheng De didn't bother to continue to sell Guanzi, and said with a smile, "Your son stopped the royal driver to shout grievances for you, not to mention anything else, this is quite bold." So I brought him into the palace. ”

You're bold, but you're going to bring him into the palace?

This is what and what.

Cao Xiong really didn't understand the emperor's intention to bring his son into the palace, even if he stopped and shouted injustice, he didn't seem to need to make such a show, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to the sixth ministry to deal with?

Seeing that he was silent, Zheng De didn't care, and continued with a smile, "I think you should know the purpose of summoning you, I blame you for the battle of Guyuan, and it's my fault." Your son had the audacity to stop me from crying out for you, and Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi, testified for you, so I decided to reinstate you as an official. How do you feel about continuing to serve as the chief soldier of Guyuan? ”

Cao Xiong was stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to reinstate himself so easily, which was really unexpected.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

He knelt down and kowtowed in thanksgiving in a moment of excitement. But then I thought of what the emperor just said, 'It's a dog that kneels and lies on his stomach when he sees me', and he immediately regretted it. I just looked up and saw the playful smile on the emperor's face, and I was even more embarrassed.

"Get up." Zheng De shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward to help him up, making the latter a little surprised and slightly moved.

Because he couldn't reach his shoulder, he had to pat his arm and said seriously, "It's okay in the future, don't always kneel down at every turn." Okay, now that this matter is over, let's go back to take a shower and get a good night's sleep, and after resting, rush back to Guyuan, where there is no shortage of manpower. ”

"Obey."

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old yellow-haired boy patted the arm of a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties and said words of encouragement and exhortation. How to look at this scene feels so awkward, but the two parties take it for granted, which exacerbates this sense of disobedience and is also very joyful.

"The minister retired." Cao Xiong bowed and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Cao Qian on the side also stood up and arched his hand, "The emperor Shengming, I am afraid that it will be difficult to repay this situation for the rest of my life, and I am willing to serve in the army in the future to repay the king's kindness." It's just that my father has just been released from prison and still needs someone to take care of him, so I bid farewell to His Majesty. ”

"Would you like to serve in the army?" Zheng De looked at him and suddenly said. Without waiting for Cao Qian to react, the former then said, "Since that's the case, then you can stay." ”

Stay?

Cao Qian didn't react for a while, what did the emperor mean by this?

Even Cao Xiong, who was about to withdraw from the hall, was stunned, speculating about the meaning of the emperor's words.

What do you want to stay for? It seems that in addition to the palace maids, there are eunuchs.

Eunuch?

Does the emperor want his son to stay in the palace as a eunuch?

Cao Xiong was taken aback, and he didn't know what to do when he thought of this, so he stood there in a dilemma.

Seeing this scene, Zheng De also knew that they had misunderstood what they meant. smiled but didn't explain, but deliberately repeated, "Yes, just stay." ”

Does the emperor really want me to enter the palace as a eunuch?

Cao Qian also reacted at this time, sadness rose from his heart, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Your Majesty, Weichen only has such a son. Please also ask Your Majesty's subordinates to be merciful, don't let my son enter the palace as a eunuch, and cut off the incense of the heir! ”

Cao Xiong couldn't care about anything at this time, so he turned around and rushed up. With a "poof", he knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground, knocking "dong dong" sound.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

Zheng De suddenly felt as if he had played a little too much, and he didn't have the heart to continue joking, so he hurriedly helped Cao Xiong up. smiled and said, "Do you really think I want to keep your son as a eunuch?" ”

Isn't it?

The two fathers and sons looked at each other, puzzled.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zheng De understood what they were thinking, and said with a smile, "If you are willing, I will naturally not object, if you are unwilling, you will stay and be my imperial guard." ”

Imperial Guard?

This official name Cao Xiong father and son heard it for the first time. However, Cao Qian quickly reacted, and the word "imperial front" was obviously an errand between the emperor and the emperor. Not to mention that the emperor's order cannot be violated, such a beautiful almost refusal to agree is obviously either a problem with her brain or rust.

"Caomin thank Your Majesty for the official, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Cao Xiong saw his son like this, and he also understood. Whether you have heard of this official name or not, it is a great honor to be appreciated by the emperor, so why bother with those side details.

And he followed his son to salute and give thanks.

"Since I agreed, I won't disturb your father and son reunion, so you can go back together. In addition, I will allow you to take a three-day vacation, and after three days, remember to come to work in my imperial study. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Seeing that the emperor was so considerate of the two of them, Cao Xiong's father and son were also quite moved.

When the two left the palace, Cao Xiong looked at his son and was also full of emotion. In order to avenge his own grievances, he traveled thousands of miles to Beijing alone, and even stopped the royal car for this, not to mention all this, he knew how difficult and dangerous it was.

If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for!

Cao Xiong nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard lightly and said, "Qian'er, I've hurt you." ”

Cao Qian was stunned when he heard this, and then arched his hand and said, "My father is serious, and as a son of man, this is not a natural move. ”

Cao Xiong didn't say anything more, after all, as a father and son. There are some things that don't need to be explained clearly, and they will all know each other's hearts.

Thinking that his son would have to work by the emperor's side in the future, he was a little worried even though he was a father.

After all, how can you accompany the tiger!

He couldn't help but admonish, "Qian'er, you will be an errand by the emperor's side in the future, you have to be careful in everything, listen to everything, talk less and do more, understand?" ”

"The child knows, please rest assured father." Cao Qian understood what his father was worried about, and arched his hand.

Cao Xiong didn't say anything more, after all, his son had grown up, and he could understand many things without saying it himself. And once he returns to Shaanxi, he can't take care of so many miles away, and everything can only be broken by himself.

"And tomorrow I will rush back to Guyuan, you can also go to the imperial study on an errand." He said one last word.

Listening to his father's words, Cao Qian was stunned, "Father, didn't Your Majesty urge you to leave, and allowed me to rest for three days, why are you so anxious?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't do this, but I have just been reinstated, and you are going to enter the palace on an errand again. It is always right to be active and diligent, so as not to gossip about others. ”

Although Cao Qian has also led troops to fight, he is still a chick in officialdom, and he is not as proficient in officialdom as Cao Xiong. However, he still took his father's words to heart.

"Got it."

"Yes." Cao Xiong nodded, "Let's go, let's find a place to live first." ”

Cao Qian led his father back to his temporary inn, and was too away because of what happened tonight. Neither father nor son felt sleepy, so they talked about what had happened in the past few days, and did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.
