Chapter 502: Abdication
Speaking of this, Cao Ying's tone paused slightly before continuing, "Although his identity has not been ascertained, it can't be separated from Xiliang's side, right?" I'm very curious about what you, the queen mother, and that woman are doing, fighting a battle and finally serving a husband together, haha, it's ridiculous. ”
couldn't stand Cao Ying's troubles and ridicule, the Queen Mother bit her lip to death, and a drop of blood flowed out of her teeth and lips, "You can't die well!" With that, the Queen Mother stretched out a hand and pinched Cao Ying's neck fiercely.
Cao Ying just shook her hand effortlessly, and the queen mother's arm was immediately beaten back. The Queen Mother's move seemed to anger Cao Ying, Cao Ying did not give up, but immediately stretched out her claws and grabbed the Queen Mother's chest, "Tsk, except for a bigger chest, I just don't know what use you have for Han Han!" ”
Cao Ying squinted her eyes and hooked the corners of her mouth with an evil smile, "Queen Mother, are you ready to write the edict of Zen Rang." ”
"You let go." The Queen Mother's face was snow-white, her body trembled with anger, and she almost fainted, but Cao Ying glanced at the corners of her mouth disapprovingly, and blurted out in a soft and mellow female voice that had not been disguised, "Between us women, why taboo this." ”
"What did you say?" The Queen Mother was startled, staring at Cao Ying in disbelief, Cao Ying smiled unabashedly, and a woman's soft voice sounded, "Are you still afraid that I will eat tofu as a woman, huh?" ”
smiled and scratched the queen mother's chest again, Cao Ying put away her hand, "It's nothing big about big breasts." ”
Straightening her posture, Cao Ying regained her serious demeanor, glancing at the Queen Mother's stunned eyes, Cao Ying smiled faintly, "I'll wait for the Queen Mother's edict, don't let me wait too long with Han Han." ”
Looking at the back of Cao Ying turning away, the Queen Mother has not recovered from her surprise, it is hard to imagine that Cao Yunde actually has such an excellent daughter, deceived the eldest grandson Wuji, deceived herself, and fooled the world!
The dignified Cao Ying turned out to be a daughter. The Queen Mother put away her dull gaze and bit her lip, but suddenly understood Cao Ying's other intention of refusing to let her see Han Han, afraid that Han Han would make a comeback for herself, but the naked jealousy, the Queen Mother also understood in seconds, this woman who perfected the laws of the Cao Dynasty and consolidated the outline of the imperial court actually liked her man!
The Queen Mother was lying on the phoenix bed trembling with tears and laughter, her eyes glanced at the distant poppy porridge that was put aside, and the Queen Mother showed a sad smile, Cao Ying prepared quietly for a long time, but she didn't expect that even the imperial kitchen was bought, and this unheard of poppy flower ruined the rest of her life.
The next day, there was a major event in the entire imperial capital, that is, the Queen Mother, who had been seriously ill for a long time, suddenly issued an edict, claiming to abdicate and give up the dragon chair to Cao Ying, the prime minister who has been in the limelight recently.
This is a complete makeover of the royal Qin family, and in the future, the world will be all surnamed Cao. In the early days, when the civil and military officials in the Xuanzheng Hall heard the little eunuch announce this edict, they were all amazed, but they also seemed to know that now the seriously ill Queen Mother has no mind to govern the country, and this burden can only fall on Cao Ying.
No one suspected Cao Ying's misdeeds, and no one would know that the Queen Mother was forced to be helpless, on the contrary, a group of ignorant and stupid human beings were still praising the Queen Mother's benevolence and virtue.
On this day, it was a big day, Prime Minister Cao Ying became the emperor of the Central Plains! Of course, in the eyes of Han Han, the Queen Mother and others, she is the female emperor.
The Zen ceremony was held in the Temple of Heaven in the capital, the mighty three hundred first-class and second-grade ministers knelt on the blue bricks, Cao Ying wore a dragon robe sewn quietly, standing on the high Temple of Heaven, first worshiping the sky, and then worshipping the emperors of the Cao Dynasty, and finally, Cao Ying personally announced, "I ascended the throne today and called the emperor, changed the country name, Cao Wei!" ”
The court of the Central Plains suddenly took on a new look, and the Cao Dynasty became Cao Wei, which was already a matter worth discussing and gossiping, and the news had grown wings, and it had spread all over the north and south of the Central Plains in just half a month.
"It is really a good means to ascend the throne openly and establish himself as a king." Under the night, the old man Zhuge Lying Silkworm sat alone under a gazebo, this is the beautiful water town of Jiangnan, and Zhuge Sleeping Silkworm is placed this time is a rich man's house, recruiting troops and horses, it is necessary to drop money.
"It's really not a simple matter to bring down Cao Ying." Zhuge Lying Silkworm waved the goose feather fan in his hand and smiled with a sigh, at this time, a fat man wearing a mink coat and a round body slowly walked up, and when he saw Zhuge Lying Silkworm, he immediately showed a polite smile, "Your Excellency is the old man Zhuge Sleeping Silkworm?" I have admired the old man's amazing ability to lead the troops! ”
"The little brother has won the award, the old man's intention this time, I guess the maid has already informed me." Zhuge Lying Silkworm stood up with a smile and arched his hand, and then said slowly, "One million taels, are you willing to borrow it?" ”
One million taels, Zhuge Lying Silkworm went to a stranger's house to borrow money, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was one million taels, no matter who it was, I am afraid he would refuse to laugh.
The fat man showed an ordinary smile, then nodded and asked, "I really want to make friends with talents like the old gentleman, so one million taels is not a problem, but I want to ask clearly, what is it used for?" It's not going to be building a house, is it? ”
"Well, the little brother really doesn't do business without interests." Zhuge Lying Silkworm stroked his white beard and smiled, "I just don't know if the face of the old decay is worth a million taels." ”
After a pause, Zhuge Lying Silkworm leaned forward and whispered, "The old man borrowed money to recruit soldiers and buy horses. ”
The fat man's eyelids jumped, but he showed a surprised smile, coughed, and asked in a somewhat embarrassed whisper, "So, old man, is recruiting for the sake of recruiting troops?" ”
"Of course, it's for rebellion and overthrowing the imperial court!" Zhuge Lying Silkworm smiled disappreciably, his face remained unchanged, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, but the fat man was directly scared into a cold sweat and fought against the imperial court? Want to rebel? It's crazy!
"The old gentleman really likes to joke." The fat man's arms trembled a little, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak, and what else did he ask, 'What are you rebelling for?' ''How much benefit can I get after you rebel?'' If this kind of thing is known to outsiders, it will be to cut off the head and kill the whole family!
The fat man was silent for a moment with an ugly face, and just opened his mouth to speak, at this time, outside the pavilion, a slender white figure slowly walked in, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was crisp, but with an undoubted tone, "Dad, ten thousand taels, give it." ”
Zhuge Lying Silkworm looked sideways, raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, but smiled and touched his beard, "Miss Zuo." ”
She has always been mysterious, and her slender figure was covered by a white cloak, her facial expression was still cold, and she nodded at Zhuge Lying Silkworm with an expressionless face, Zuo Ruyan bent down slightly, and said to her adoptive father, "Father, please allow your daughter to be willful, and the business discussed with Mr. Zhuge will be fully responsible for the daughter herself." ”
"Oops!" The fat man rubbed his chubby chest quite distressedly, "Little girl, what do you know, this is treason, Dad, I have lived for half my life and am not afraid of death, but you are young, do you want to be beheaded!" It doesn't matter if you do this business or not. ”
"How can it be that it doesn't matter, daughter, this time I cooperated with Mr. Zhuge to save someone." Zuo Ruyan's face was expressionless, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, "If he is killed, his daughter can't stand idly by." ”
Zhuge Lying Silkworm was very surprised when the relationship between Han Han and Zuo Ruyan became so iron, but the fat man frowned, and asked unhappily, "Man? ”
"Yes!" This woman seems to always have only one expression, nodded slowly in response, and bent down again, "Please father......" "Needless to say!" Since he is a daughter's man, he naturally has to be saved! The fat man waved his hand proudly, and the business immediately came to an end.
This little daughter of herself, who is cold by nature, has found a lot of in-laws for her, but she has been rejected, and now it is rare to see her daughter so persistent for a man, and she is surprised to be a father, but more of a relief and joy, "Anyway, we have a prince to cover!" Daughter, don't worry about doing it boldly! Dad asked, who is that man? ”
"Han Han, the national teacher of the Cao Dynasty!" Zuo Ruyan honestly reported his name, this fat father, but he leaned back and sat on the ground with his buttocks, how could his daughter have a relationship with that kind of person!
Cao Ying sat on the dragon chair alone, and he was even busier, changing the court laws and various taxes again, Cao Ying, a woman's family, advocated strict rule of law, and harsh legal conditions, so that the people had a bad impression of the newly appointed emperor.
At the beginning of the Cao Wei Dynasty, there were also all kinds of new officials one after another, and some of the old ministers still served in the imperial court, while many more were dismissed.
If it's not Cao Ying's own person, how can it be used? Cao Ying abolished the post of prime minister, took over all the power of the court by himself, and the ministers below seemed to have no real ability except for reporting and running errands.
However, the position of the national teacher is still retained, and Han Han, who has been rumored to have been missing for a long time, was named the national teacher by Cao Ying, and only enjoys the road closure, but has no real power.
The Queen Mother was completely placed under house arrest in Cining Palace, and sent a group of strong palace maids to serve day and night, and at the same time boiled a new decoction for the Queen Mother to take.
The head is no longer dizzy, the abdomen is no longer vomiting, the queen mother's face is rejuvenated, stroking her fair and smooth face, the queen mother is silent when she lies on the bed, the world is lost, and her man can't be seen, and now she is really alone.
"See the emperor!" Outside the palace, there was the unfamiliar greeting of the palace maid, the queen mother frowned slightly, sat up slowly, and glanced at the door.
The next moment, Cao Ying, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe, pushed the door in with a smile, walked in, closed the door, and then threw a letter on the Queen Mother's bed.
Now that she is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, Cao Ying, who has been grovelled by the world, no longer needs to bend down to the Queen Mother, straightening her waist, Cao Ying said with a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, "This is the letter that Han Han urgently asked me to bring, although you can't meet, but you can contact by letter." ”
The Queen Mother was stunned, and then opened the letter in surprise, and the familiar handwriting came into view, making the Queen Mother blink in surprise and burst into tears.
"In the future, every day's letters will be delivered by the palace maid outside your door, and if you have anything to write, just give it to her." Cao Ying said, and sat on the stool next to her at the same time, wearing a dragon robe that increased the majesty of her body, covering up the weak side of the woman, "Cao Chao is replaced by Cao Wei, do you have any ideas?" ”
The Queen Mother just glanced at Cao Ying coldly and didn't speak, and then, just took the letter of a few hundred words and read it carefully, Han Han, it was more attractive than the woman in front of her.
Seeing that the Queen Mother ignored herself, Cao Ying smiled disapprovingly, stroked the dragon robe on her body, her eyes were in a trance, and she said to herself, "I finally understand the benefits of being the emperor, and my sense of superiority is explosive, what do you say, Lu Pheasant?" ”
The Queen Mother was still silent, Cao Ying sighed, and stood up at this time, "Don't hold a grudge against me for seizing power, if you want to blame it, blame yourself for not being able to govern the world." ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother was still silently looking at the letter, Cao Ying finally left at this time, and he would rather go to Dongchang to visit Han Han than waste time on Lu Pheasant.
Han Han was no longer tied to the grass on the ground like before, but had changed to a set of easy leg cuffs and handcuffs to move around, but the guards inside and outside the East Factory had doubled.
On this day, Cao Ying came to the dungeon with a smile, and after driving away all the caretakers as usual, she sat directly on Han Han's lap, and looked down at the books in front of him, as relaxed as if a husband and wife were chatting about family life, "Journey to the West? How much has been written? ”
"I just wrote about the Bull Demon King." Han Han smiled indifferently, stopped the brush in his hand, and looked up at Cao Ying who was full of spring breeze, although Han Han was in the dungeon, the things he should know were all shown off by Cao Ying.
When he heard the name Cao Wei, Han Han sighed, but he didn't expect that Cao Ying would replace Cao Yunde and become the first emperor of Cao Wei.
"How is the Queen Mother?" Every time the two met, Han Han asked about the situation of the Queen Mother. Cao Ying was already used to it, pursed her lips, and replied casually by wrapping her arms around Han Han's neck, "Taking the antidote herbs, my complexion is getting better and better, and the drug addiction of poppies is estimated to be completely eliminated in another week." ”
"Oh." Han Han nodded, he didn't have anything to say, so he picked up the pen again and wanted to write "Journey to the West", but Cao Ying pursed her lips unhappily, grabbed the brush in Han Han's hand and threw it aside, and at the same time said coquettishly, "After such a long time, don't you know that you care about me?" ”
Han Han smiled speechlessly, "What do you have to care about?" When you become the emperor, you are the honor of the Ninety-Five, who is at your disposal, brocade clothes and jade food, all kinds of silk and satin, what's not bad? ”
