After a long time, Cao Xiang became a toddler more than a year old, staring at the world curiously with black eyes, waving this little hand like to scratch butterflies, even if the butterfly is far away, he doesn't care, the excited little mouth keeps popping out strange words, sometimes babbling a bunch of incomprehensible words, Cao Xiang inherited the wisdom of his parents, less than a year old out of clear words, more than a year old can spit out a few clear short words.

One year old is the age when you learn to speak, and it is also the age when you learn to walk.

"Xiang'er, come quickly, come to my mother."

Cao Xiang swayed left and right with small steps, staggered out a few steps and stood firm, excitedly opened his little hands and swayed to his mother's arms.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly a light breeze blew, and a tall man came out and hugged Xiao Cao Xiang, the young child turned his face and looked at the strange man curiously, his skin was slightly dark, and his eyebrows were heroic.

In an instant, the women were stunned.

Liu Wan had mixed feelings, rushed over in three or two steps and hugged his shoulders, Cao Shi hugged his wife's shoulders and a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "Wan'er, Xiang'er, I'm back." ”

Xiao Cao Xiang saw his mother and this stranger hugging and kissing, waving his little hands: "Mother, who is he?" Who is he? ”

"Xiang'er, that's your father!"

"Father." Cao Xiang looked dazed, the little boy shrank into his mother's arms, and the bold little guy finally remembered that he should be afraid of life.

Cao Shi gently scraped the bridge of his nose and did not blame the child, he himself went to South Vietnam to stay for almost a year, and it was strange that the child could remember that he blamed his father.

Wei Junru, who had just finished confinement, was helped over, and Cao Shi exempted him from kneeling and helping him up. The youngest daughter was also wrapped in a blanket by the nurse and walked out, Cao Shi hugged the child and pondered: "There are seven points in appearance, with you." Growing up, she is also a Peugeot beauty, so let's call Cao Yan! ”

The news of Cao Shi's return to Chang'an spread in the afternoon. Early the next morning, there was an endless stream of bureaucrats visiting the house, and Cao Shi instructed each family to leave a letter of worship and give their names, and the gifts given were returned as they were, regardless of whether they were high or low.

Later, there were too many people who visited, and he was also unbearable and simply closed the door, claiming that he had been in Nanyue for too long and needed to recuperate, everyone knew that this was a random reason, Cao Shizhuang's resemblance to a cow had no need to recuperate.

Some people can avoid being seen, and some people must come out for an interview, and Han Anguo is the first Jiuqing-level senior official to meet and talk secretly. But he was by no means the last.

"First of all, congratulations to the Che Cai General for his victory in destroying the Sanyue border troubles, and pushing the Han family to the south to the South China Sea, the fly in the ointment is that the victorious Han army did not return with the army, and I want to ask the Che Cai General for advice in the next place." Han Anguo got straight to the point and didn't waste time on false ceremonies.

Cao Shi was not stunned: "Please talk about it." ”

"The chaos in Chang'an, the Queen Mother's hand is too deep, and we don't know how to deal with it."

"I don't know much about it all year round, and it's inconvenient to intervene besides that I'm a military officer."

Han Anguo was stunned: "Does the general plan to go down in the military exhibition?" ”

"The Son of Heaven needs excellent generals to carry out the plan, and I am the most suitable choice for the Han family. Why should I give up my military position? Besides, what am I going to do if I give up my military position? ”

"You can be three princes and nine princesses!

Cao Shi suddenly shook his head and smiled: "I have an oath with the Empress Dowager, and even if I don't keep the oath, I don't have much interest in Jiuqing, and the general is a good choice." "So what do you mean......

"Han Shaofu is too shallow, as long as you work hard to do your part and don't cause omissions. Therefore, Shaofu is always trembling on thin ice, and the Son of Heaven has a scale in his mind and decides to go up and down, don't look at the cheerfulness of his relatives. Soon someone was out of luck. ”

Beat away Han Anguo, who was full of doubts, and ushered in the visit of the sacrificial wine guard. He came over to routinely explain the exhibition of Taixue during the year, which basically means that the construction of Taixue will enhance the economy of Chang'an City.

In a few more years. Taixue will regularly train tens of thousands of intermediate talents with professional level every year, and get the certificate of Taixue to register in the government to change household registration, and change the senior talents of this era from ordinary people.

Wei Juan is very excited, this year's enrollment situation is very good, although the number jù is not as exaggerated as the first year, at least the trend will guide the market to make many corresponding methods.

Wei Juan spoke the whole time, and Cao Shi only had to listen to the story with his ears, until Cao Shi asked him to leave on the grounds of tiredness, and the excited Taixue Sacrificial Wine had to go back.

The last one to come is the heavyweight, the former prime minister, Bai Zhi Hou Xuchang.

is also the prime minister, the same is exempted from the phase, Wei Juan is still a little sympathetic, Xuchang does not even have a little room for sympathy, except for the heavy dà minister until he is waving, Xuchang himself is almost an invisible prime minister in the people, and the prime minister's power is completely shrouded by the imperial power, making Xuchang a veritable invisible prime minister, and he will be suppressed by the Son of Heaven if he wants to do anything, and the weight almost makes him breathless.

The conflict between the prime minister and the imperial power leads to the accumulation of contradictions in multiple layers, the prime minister is very uncomfortable, and the emperor's heart is not comfortable, just the silent struggle of the prime minister and the emperor must end with the victory of the imperial power, Xuchang is the only victim of this defeat, obviously there are still more than ten years to live, just like the emperor I have to bow my head and admit defeat when he is old.

Bai Zhihou Xuchang is the prime minister jointly elected by the military meritorious, the emperor quietly abolished Xuchang is equivalent to not saving face for the military meritorious, the military merit is mainly composed of the military merit system, a small number of people in politics and business to find another way to get out of the new situation, the military merit is unwilling to be suppressed by the emperor's eagle dog, the two sides have broken out many times in the past half a month.

"Pingyang Hou! You have also seen my situation, the emperor's authority is getting deeper and deeper, and it is becoming more and more difficult for us to be officials, I see that you have said so many good things about military merits, and the Son of Heaven seems to have some ideas to completely clean up the current batch of military merits, and then spend two bags of people to cultivate new military merits. ”

As soon as Xuchang opened his mouth, the atmosphere changed, although Cao Shi thought of many ways to solve the deepening problem, but the natural contradiction between military merit and imperial power was still deep-rooted, and the high position of the three princes and nine kings proved to be a hard indicator of the strength of military merit, and the emperor's suppression of the liehou group once again marked the young emperor's eagerness to show his strength.

Cao Shi laughed dryly: "Bai Zhihou's hard work should not be punished, and many people do not agree with the emperor's hasty replacement of Dou Ying as prime minister, and His Majesty's selection of materials and employment is often unexpected." ”

"Is there any way you can convince the Emperor?"

Cao Shi shook his head, Xu Chang and him are not related to him, so he will not risk losing his career to say that, Xu Chang is not appropriate if he can't be the prime minister, there is no need for him to be shot.

Xu Chang was also anxious: "If you don't let me be a sacrificial wine, it's okay." ”

"I'm sorry, the appointment was decided by the Son of Heaven, I blame the reputation for not caring at all, it's better to operate a few people who have more stewards of the sacrificial wine, it is very difficult to install students, it is the emperor's responsibility to install the sacrificial wine, and the Marquis of Jian yì Bai went to the emperor to discuss."

Cao Shi couldn't help, and Xu Chang left with his head down.

He is an old man in his sixties who still thinks that he can retire after three years, but he didn't expect the emperor to give him a chance to knock him directly to the ground, and there are not many people in Chang'an City at such an age, and he has no idea about forcibly wanting to be prime minister for three years.

There are a lot of people who come to run for officials and knights, and almost every day someone knocks on the door of Pingyang Houfu, but Cao Shi is not happy to see them.

The Yulin cavalry lost more than 1,000 lives, in exchange for the proud record of directly and indirectly killing more than 4,000 enemies, as the temporary commander of the Yulin cavalry was highly valued, Zhao Junyu was promoted to the captain of the Yulin cavalry, and successfully crossed the threshold of the rank ratio of 2,000 stones.

In the midst of the noise and noise, it is the summer harvest season in late May.

In the ridge of Nanzhuang, more than 100 crop men bent over to harvest rye, the second year of rye planting in Nanzhuang, this year is also the first rye harvest year, the villagers of Nanzhuang finally figured out a set of rye planting management methods.

"Ouch, Old Zheng, you are here, we all want to see that you are torturing and harvesting rye."

"Old Zheng, tell me what is good about rye, there are many people here who still don't understand!"

"I heard that the rye grown by Zheng's family has the best rise, so I came to watch it today to remember the effect."

Zheng Lao paced and couldn't even speak, his angry head tilted and ignored anyone, and when he walked halfway, he suddenly walked quickly to meet Lu Lu with a smile: "Oh, Junhou, why did you come out, I heard that Junhou is recuperating, and I want to catch a few chickens to make mountain soup and give it to Junhou to taste." ”

"Old Zheng is polite, I just went to the field casually to see the situation, as if I heard that the rye in Nanzhuang is the most vigorous, tell me what is going on."

Cao Shi's words attracted the attention of the onlookers, and only those who were far away realized that the person who came was Pingyang Hou, and hurriedly came over to salute: "Pingyang Hou doesn't know anything!" Last year, the rye yield per mu in Nanzhuang was four stones, although the planting period was nine months long, and the grain obtained was rich in nutrients, which was very suitable for the rich to supplement nutrition, and the price of one stone of rye flour in Chang'an City was 3oo money, and it was in short supply and had no price. ”

Corn is about 1oo yuan for one stone, 2oo yuan for a bucket of edible soybean oil, about 15o yuan for a fat sheep, and 3oo yuan for one stone of rye, and the price of rye is still very expensive in comparison.

"The steamed buns from the black wheat flour are delicious, and it is said that it is nutritious and expensive."

"The main thing is to save trouble with rye, plant a stubble of rye in autumn, regardless of rain or snow, cold and freezing, watering and fertilizing in the coming year, and the rye planted is a first-class good grain, which feels more worry-free than wheat."

There were more and more people who came to watch the excitement, Zheng Tong was sent out to take dozens of people to harvest ripe crops, and the sickle waved to quickly cut the ears of rye that could not afford to lose, this is the grain harvest of the people of Nanzhuang this year, at this time, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and no one complained that giving up corn was wrong.
