The Prime Minister's Mansion is now full of doors, Emperor Xiao issued a grounding order, no one dared to come at this special juncture, and even the letter sent by Cao Xiang's personal hand was like a stone sinking into the sea and could not be answered, Cao Tianqi scolded angrily: "These dog things, when they are in power, they can't get rid of them, and now they are only grounded by the lord of the country for a month, and they are busy clearing up the relationship, and they are afraid of being implicated by us, father, when I go out, I want to ask them one by one about their crimes!" Let them know what the end of betrayal is. ”

Cao Ye held the kettle at this time, personally tending to the flowers and plants under the porch, his posture was very leisurely, and he did not answer Cao Tianqi's words.

Cao Tianqi hurriedly said: "Father! Didn't you hear about the grounding of the General's Palace? The emperor Lao'er cut Shen Du's military power for three years in the court, and removed you from the prime minister for three years, and then each of them was grounded for a month, which seemed to be a very fair sentence, but in fact, the ban on the general's mansion had already been lifted, and Shen Liangyi went to Yong'an generously, and Shen Du could also go out of the mansion at will. Aren't you in a hurry! How can you still have the leisure to look at these flowers and plants! ”

Cao Ye finished watering slowly, and then looked back at him, "How many times have you said that you have to be calm when you do big things, the more urgent you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, why can't you change it!" ”

Cao Ye sat down at the stone table and motioned for Cao Tianqi to sit down as well, "He lifted the ban in the general's mansion, and only relieved Shen Liangyi alone, Shen Du handed over the military power, so he could only stay in the mansion, I heard that the deputy general Qi Wen was the representative of the power, this person has no ambition, and he is much easier to control than Murong Xuan, so that Yin Wei can intersect with him more, and subtly influence him, and he should have a little effect after being in the army for so many years." ”

"Father, those ministers who are usually on our faction, since you were suspended, there has been no news, and the situation is changing rapidly, at this moment, I am afraid that the person who replaced you in the court, aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about? We have to make them feel that I am gone, that I can't turn over, so that this is a chance for us. ”

"What chance?"

Cao Ye smiled and patted him on the shoulder with love on his face, "The so-called dangerous tactics of the army, the more you are trapped and unable to perform, the more you can accomplish something." Taking advantage of their attention elsewhere, taking advantage of the fact that Shen Du's military power has been discharged for three years, we must seize this time to make final preparations, I heard that Xitang's vitality was greatly injured after the war, in order to pull up the people's livelihood as soon as possible, as long as the large and small single deeds of various countries are given money, and they are good at making weapons, then take this opportunity to give them a big ticket and let them make some weapons. ”118

Cao Tianqi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Is the time to do it coming?" But father, if you want to rely on the people of Nanfu to recruit troops and buy horses for us, we need to pay 400,000 gold, plus the money for making weapons, which is far more than 400,000 yuan. ”

Cao Ye laughed: "If you want to do things, you have to keep yourself out of the situation to be safe, if you want to stay out of things, you have to borrow a knife, I don't want to pay for my own weapons." ”

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, who will easily afford to pay this money?"

Cao Tianqi thought for a moment, and then said: "Yong'an Fan family!" Does my father want to borrow the hands of the Fan family to contribute money to our plan? ”

"This is one of them, the most important reason is that the Fan family and the Shen family have a close relationship between father and son, and it is good that this battle will be successful in the future, if it is lost, it will be found that it is the Fan family who is behind the scenes, and then he will touch the melon, he Shen Du wants to clear up the relationship, and he can't get rid of it!"

"Father! I'll do it! ”

"Hey," Cao Ye grabbed Cao Tianqi, who was leaving, "Your subordinate Nie Yu is suitable for doing this, but if you want Nan Su's people to recognize him, there is still an identity missing, you tell him that from today on, he is my righteous son, and all things related to Nan Su will be done by him in the future, you stay by my side obediently, and first pass this month of grounding." ”
