Chapter 980: Sacrifice for the Spring Festival

Thank you for the reward from the tea boy in the fog flower!

Cao Cao came to the Qianqing Palace, at this time Jia Xu, Xun Yu, and Xun You were waiting, and their expressions were very relaxed, and there should be nothing major happening.

"See Your Majesty!" The three of them saluted together.

"No need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao sat down on the main seat and asked Xun You: "Gongda, the Spring Festival is coming, we must pay special attention to the families of the fallen soldiers, and the disabled soldiers must not forget!" โ€

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Wechen has already arranged it! However, the two million taels of silver spent on this matter still need His Majesty's jade approval! โ€

Cao Cao pondered: "Although there were two major wars last year, the treasury not only did not pay, but gained a lot!" Increase the amount of money for the families of the martyrs by two million taels of silver! โ€

Xun Yu thought for a moment and agreed.

"Have all the work reports of the various departments been done?" Cao Cao asked.

"All ministries have been completed, this is the report of the various ministries!" Immediately, Xun Yu presented a stack of notebooks in his hand.

Cao Cao picked up a copy casually, opened it, closed it, and put it back in its place, Cao Cao planned to read it later.

"Wen Ruo, what is going on outside of my Great Wei?"

Xun Yu replied: "According to Zhuo Yifan's intelligence, Wei Sudeva and Yue Duo are actively preparing for war, and it is estimated that after the beginning of spring, a big war will break out between the two again!" In addition, the princess of the Bosphoru Kingdom arrived at the Green Ridge Fortress a few days ago! Your Majesty, I heard that this princess is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city! โ€

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and joked: "Wen Ruo, what do you mean by this?" Is it possible that I will seduce her? โ€

Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu couldn't help laughing.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that this princess can't wait for His Majesty to do this!" โ€

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with an inquiring expression.

Xun Yu smiled and nodded, "Not bad!" Your Majesty, according to the report of our secret agent in Rome, this princess had a falling out with the Roman Emperor a month ago! It is said that it was because Rome signed a non-aggression pact with the Jin Kingdom, and you must know that the princess's country was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom not long ago! Weichen, Wenhe, and Gongda deduced that the purpose of this princess coming to our Great Wei Empire was to seek us to help her restore the country! โ€

Cao Cao sneered, "Why? Is it just her looks? โ€

"I'm afraid that's it!" Xun Yu smiled.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked, "Can she show her credentials to our guards at the Green Ridge Fortress?" โ€

Xun Yu nodded: "It's more interesting!" Her credentials are not envoys, but she seeks our refuge in the name of a government-in-exile! โ€

"Hehe, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has made up her mind to return to the country! But she thought things too simply! Well, I don't want to do that for now! Is there anything else Wen Ruo does? โ€

"The Roman Empire is mobilizing troops to its north, and there is said to be a rebellion there!"

Cao Cao nodded, "Those places were conquered by the Roman Empire in the past, and there was originally an ancient country with a longer history than our Central Plains!" โ€

Cao Cao couldn't help but think of a movie he had watched, "The Legend of Gods and Ghosts", and couldn't help but be full of curiosity about that mysterious place: "Maybe one day the soldiers of the empire will be able to take me there!" Cao Cao muttered.

"What did you say, Your Majesty?" Jia Xu didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help asking.

Cao Cao came back to his senses, crossed his arms and smiled: "Hehe, it's nothing, I thought about other trivial things!" โ€

"Gongda, you are responsible for the training of all armies! It is necessary to take advantage of this time when there is no fighting to restore the combat effectiveness of all armies! Cao Cao admonished.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Wechen dares to guarantee that when the next war comes, the army in the hands of His Majesty will be even stronger! โ€

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Very good!" I'm sure Gongda won't let me down! โ€

"Wen Ruo, you have to worry more about logistics!"

"Command!"

Cao Cao suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I heard that Gongda's mother is sick?" Cao Cao asked with concern.

Xun You hurriedly said: "It's just a minor illness, thank you Your Majesty for your concern!" โ€

Cao Cao frowned, "You can't be careless about minor illnesses!" Dian Wei! โ€

Dian Wei, who was standing aside conscientiously, hugged his fists and promised: "Your Majesty! โ€

"Send someone to ask Hua Tuo to take a look immediately!"

"No!" Dian Wei promised to retreat immediately.

"Your Majesty! Wechen ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท" Xun You looked grateful.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Gongda doesn't have to be like this! Even if it's a friend, that's how it should be! โ€

Cao Cao glanced at the three of them and admonished: "Although it is a great righteousness to work for national affairs, you can't ignore your own body!" You need to know: If you don't have a good body, how can you handle state affairs well? You are all pillars of the country, and if there is a feint, the country will also suffer a huge loss! โ€

"Weichen repents of His Majesty's teaching!" The three of them looked a little excited.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said: "From today onwards, the cabinet minister on duty every night will be changed to one person, and the minister on duty at night will not have to go to the court for a day off the next day!" โ€

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Well, the schedules of officials in various ministries should also be adjusted accordingly! It's up to your cabinet to do this! The principle is to let everyone have as much time to rest as possible without compromising efficiency! โ€

"Wait for the order!" The three of them agreed.

Time flies. Before you know it, it's time for the Spring Festival, and on this day, it snows heavily in Chang'an, and everyone is very happy about it, thinking that this indicates that the coming year will be an exciting and good year.

After Cao Cao presided over the Spring Festival ceremony on the day of the Spring Festival, he was busy receiving foreign envoys and tributary envoys, and also presided over various banquets of great significance to the empire, such as military banquets aimed at writing meritorious soldiers, such as banquets aimed at condolences to the families of martyrs, and so on.

The busy days have finally passed, and Cao Cao, the emperor, can finally rest for a few days, and trivial matters will naturally be handled by the cabinet ministers.

Cao Cao slept until the third pole of the sun before waking up from his sweet sleep, only to see Diao Chan was closing his eyes tightly and seemed to be sleeping deeply, but his long eyelashes were trembling gently, obviously Diao Chan was pretending to be asleep.

Cao Cao smiled, hugged his soft waist and kissed his delicate red lips, and said eagerly: "It seems that the time is still very early, it is better to fight with my cicada for another three hundred rounds!" As he spoke, there was a movement in his hand.

Diao Chan immediately opened his eyes, and at the same time, his slender hand grabbed Cao Cao's strange palm in the quilt, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, it's not too early!" If you don't go out again, the sisters will laugh at you! โ€

Cao Cao smiled and patted the tempting uprightness gently, "Let's see if you dare to be naughty!" โ€

Diao Chan wrinkled her good-looking Qiong nose and grinned, "The concubine knows that Your Majesty loves people the most!" โ€

Cao Cao smiled and kissed Diao Chan's red lips.

got up from the bed and quickly put on his clothes, and when he turned around, he saw Diao Chan blinking at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's too unfair for Cicada to let you see me dressing!" I want to see how my cicadas are dressed! (To be continued.) )
