Prosperity of my Eastern Han Dynasty Cao Rui and Cao Ang's biological mother Liu died two years ago, the reason is that she is not in good health, but Cao Rui has always felt that the most fundamental reason is because of falling out of favor. After the Liu family gave birth to their brother and sister www.biquge.info they were no longer as beautiful and slender as before, and later Cao Cao accepted the Bian family as a concubine, and when the foreign war was carried out, the Bian family was almost inseparable. But it's strange to say, Bian has been with Cao Cao for so long, and has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter, until last winter, she gave birth to her first child, a hundred days later, named Cao Pi.

Pi, great, respected. From this name, it can be seen that Cao Cao loves this child, of course, this may be related to Cao Cao's second son for so many years. Cao Cao is thirty-four years old at Chinese New Year's Eve, and in this era, he is middle-aged. But in addition to Cao Ang and Cao Rui, he didn't even give birth to a child for more than ten years, which is obviously not enough for his status, and now Bian finally started to give birth after seven or eight years, of course he is very happy.

Cao Ang is also very happy to have a younger brother, but in Cao Rui's opinion, this is a dangerous signal. Mother Liu died, father Cao Cao was often away from home, Cao Rui's closest person was her brother Cao Ang, in her opinion, only Cao Ang was qualified to inherit the Cao family's estate, and everyone else was delusional. But the problem is that their mother Liu is not a wife, although Cao Cao's wife Ding has always been very good to their brothers and sisters and treats them as their own children, but once Bian gives birth to a son and is favored, who can guarantee that Cao Cao will not abolish Ding and straighten Bian?

Cao Rui lives in this environment, and is the most sensitive to this kind of thing, but the reason why she is trying her best to please the Queen Mother now is that she wants to use the prestige of the Queen Mother to make her father Cao Cao dare not act rashly, if she becomes the queen, then the Bian family will not say that she will give birth to one son, that is, she will not be able to shake Cao Ang's status.

It's a pity that in the mind of the Empress Dowager Song. The position of the queen can only be Liu He's, no matter how hard she tries, it is impossible to get to that point. This is a big blow to Cao Rui, but the bigger blow is not here. After Cao Cao gave up supporting the Son of Heaven, Xiao Tianzi's attitude towards her obviously changed, perhaps because he realized that he was not Liu Xiu's opponent, and it was impossible for him to fall into the queen's position, or perhaps because he was angry at Cao Cao's betrayal, Xiao Tianzi snubbed her a lot.

This point was felt even by the Empress Dowager Song. Because of this, the Empress Dowager Song often took her with her, comforting her from time to time, promising to be rich.

But these made Cao Rui feel even more uncomfortable, but she hid all this in her heart, and even her brother Cao Ang didn't know.

Late at night, the Empress Dowager Song had already rested, and Cao Rui said goodbye. She was also very tired, but instead of going straight back to her quarters, she picked up a jar of soup. came to the vicinity of the imperial tent of the Son of Heaven and told the Lang official who guarded the imperial tent that she had come to visit His Majesty on the order of the Queen Mother. She is the person next to the Queen Mother, and she often goes in and out of the imperial tent with Xiao Tianzi, and the officials didn't expect her to have any intentions, so they let her in.

Walking into the big tent, there was a little mess in the big tent, Xiao Tianzi sat crooked and sat next to the desk, Zhou Yu and Cao Ang stood aside, although they tried to stand straight. But the mouth that opened from time to time still showed tiredness, Yang Xiu sat on the side and nodded, and almost bumped into the corners of the case several times. Hearing the sound of Cao Rui opening the tent door, Xiao Tianzi's somewhat reddened eyes glanced over, and his brows wrinkled slightly: "The Queen Mother asked you to send it?" ”

Rui walked over to the desk and put down a few bowls. As soon as she opened the lid of the soup can, a strong fragrance wafted out, Xiao Tianzi sniffed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but Zhou Yu and Cao Ang were in good spirits, and their index fingers moved. Yang Xiu was also agitated, and before he opened his eyes, he took a long breath and praised: "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Let's have a drink and a pick-me-up." Cao Rui picked up her wrist, pursed her mouth and blew, and then handed it to Xiao Tianzi with both hands: "It's been hot on the fire, Your Majesty be careful of it." ”

"I know." Xiao Tianzi took the bowl, held it in the palm of his hand, buried his face in the bowl, felt the feeling of heat circulating on his face, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Cao Rui served another bowl to Cao Ang and the others, and when they were drinking soup, she was not idle, and quickly cleaned up the messy tent. These things should have been done by the palace people, but now that Xiao Tianzi's deliberations are not over, the palace people dare not come in, so Cao Rui will do it for him.

After cleaning up, the big tent was obviously much refreshed, and after drinking the hot soup, Xiao Tianzi and the others were also a little more energetic, and their voices sounded a lot.

"It's not too early, let's discuss it again, let's rest early."

Cao Rui asked in surprise: "Still want to discuss?" It's been a day of discussion, and it hasn't been discussed yet? ”

Xiao Tianzi glanced at her and didn't say anything. Cao Ang hurriedly stepped forward to give her a look and reprimanded: "Military affairs, what do you know, don't retreat." ”

Cao Rui smiled slightly, and gave a salute to the little Tianzi: "The concubine is vain, please forgive your majesty." The concubine originally thought that as soon as the hussar general arrived, the world would be peaceful, but now that she thinks about it, the concubine thinks too simply. ”

"Shut up!" Cao Ang was in a hurry, and while giving Cao Rui a look, he pushed Cao Rui out. Xiao Tianzi's eyes moved, and he raised his hand: "Wait, my neck is a little sore, can you pinch me?" ”

Cao Rui replied: "Only, Your Majesty! As he spoke, he ignored Cao Ang's eyes, turned to Xiao Tianzi's back and knelt down, stretched out his slender jade hand, and pinched Xiao Tianzi's shoulder. Xiao Tianzi waved his hand: "You all go down to rest first, think carefully about which of Mr. Xun's three strategies is more suitable, and discuss it tomorrow morning." ”

Cao Ang and the others retreated with interest, and before Cao Ang came out of the tent, he glared at Cao Rui fiercely, but Cao Rui lowered his head and pretended not to see it. When they came out of the tent, Xiao Tianzi didn't say anything, her eyes closed and seemed to be enjoying, Cao Rui didn't speak, she just did things briskly, and there was only the sound of her little fist hitting Tianzi's back in the big tent.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Tianzi didn't open his eyes, and said suddenly.

"Concubine...... Misspoken. Cao Rui said in a low voice: "The concubine is willing to accept the punishment." ”

"I'll talk about the punishment later, you tell me first, what do you think?"

"This ......" Cao Rui hesitated for a moment: "The concubine is a little puzzled, the hussar general has 40,000 elites in his hands, and there are 20,000 elite cavalry alone, why does he not move?" ”

"It was pre-planned." Xiao Tianzi moved his body to make himself sit more comfortably. "The hussar general and your father's mission is to block Yuan Kui's back road, and I will lead the attack and kill Yuan Kui."

"So are they guarding? Your Majesty is attacking? ”

"Let's just say that."

"Since it's Shou. So what is the use of their cavalry? Yuan Kui is defending the city now, can he still use cavalry to attack the city? ”

"Cavalry?" Xiao Tianzi pondered for a moment and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, if they all gather their cavalry to your majesty. I think there should be a total of two to thirty thousand elite riders, with these elite riders, why worry about Yuan Shao? ”

"How do you know I'm worried about Yuan Shao?" Xiao Tianzi suddenly opened his eyes and said sharply: "Are you spying on the military? ”

Rui stopped her hand, put her hands on Xiao Tianzi's tense shoulders, and said calmly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the concubines often accompany the Queen Mother to visit Your Majesty. Occasionally, I heard some military information, and I didn't mean to spy on it. ”

Xiao Tianzi sighed, his body slowly relaxed again, and closed his eyes again, "What did the queen mother say?" ”

The Queen Mother said that Her Majesty has made rapid progress in the past few months, and she is very satisfied. She believed that His Majesty would definitely become a Ming monarch like Emperor Guangwu. ”

"Really?" Xiao Tianzi pursed his mouth: "Then you can talk about it." Can I become an emperor like Emperor Xiaowu? ”

"This ......" Cao Rui pondered for a moment and nodded vigorously: "The concubine thinks it is possible." ”

Xiao Tianzi laughed, and his laughter was a little hoarse. It's very different from his age. The difference between Emperor Guangwu Xiu and Emperor Wu is that one is a text and the other is a law, and Emperor Guangwu is not weaker than Emperor Wu in seizing the power of his courtiers, but his strength is that he does not massacre meritorious heroes, and he is not as cruel as Emperor Wu, so in the end he created a prosperous era, but Emperor Wu left his descendants with an empire on the verge of collapse. This is also the reason why the Queen Mother has always taught the little Tianzi to learn from Emperor Guangwu, not from Emperor Wu, as for Emperor Gao. He couldn't learn it anymore, he not only killed the heroes, but also wanted to abolish the elders and the young, if it wasn't for the ministers Zhou Bo who left, he was almost usurped by the Lu family in the end.

Say a thousand, say ten thousand. What they mean is that you don't be afraid of heroes, especially Liu Xiu.

And these are the things that Xiao Tianzi can't hear the most, since he was hit by Liu Xiu's resistance to the three edicts, Xiao Tianzi understands that he is not Liu Xiu's opponent now, and on the surface, his fear of Liu Xiu has not only not weakened, but has become stronger. He was instinctively disgusted when he heard anything about Liu Xiu.

Cao Rui's words inadvertently touched the thorn in his heart. He was silent for a moment, and then remembered that the reason why he was disgraced by Liu Xiu this time and had no power to fight back was because Cao Rui's father, Cao Cao, betrayed him, not only did not help him deal with Liu Xiu, but instead helped Liu Xiu to blackmail him, he couldn't help but snort.

"Your father also has 10,000 fine horsemen, can he give it to me?"

"Absolutely." Cao Rui said without thinking.

"You're too confident, aren't you?"

"There can be no doubt that the concubine's father is loyal to His Majesty."

"Loyal? Hmph, yes, yes. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that Your Majesty has some misunderstandings, but the concubine believes that with Your Majesty's cleverness, she will be able to figure it out soon."

Xiao Tianzi snorted twice, noncommittal.

"Your Majesty, think about it, if the father of the concubine at that time supported His Majesty to tear his face with the Che Cavalry General, what chance would His Majesty have?"

"At least ...... Fifty percent. ”

"No, judging from the concubines, there is not even a percent."

"No, one percent?"

"Your Majesty, the hussar general is unruly, if he is pressed, he may become the second Yuan family. A Yuan family has already caused chaos in the world, if another Yuan family appears, how can Your Majesty deal with it? If you want to deal with it, you should come one by one, one wave is not settled, and another wave is not the work of a wise man. ”

Xiao Tianzi clenched his fists, slowly let go, and then slowly clenched again, and after repeating it a few times, he suddenly laughed: "Your father really thinks so?" ”

"Yes, this is what the concubine's father said himself." Cao Rui chuckled lightly and began to pinch Xiao Tianzi again.
