Chapter 198: Men and Women
Today, the imperial garden of the palace is particularly lively, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were invited here by the empress. According to the empress's intentions, today she will lead her ministers to receive a distinguished guest from afar.
Wenchen has the circle of Wenchen, and military generals have the topic of military generals. Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, what they are discussing at the moment is the identity of this distinguished guest from afar.
"Your guest has arrived!" With the shouts of one of the fathers-in-law, the Imperial Garden immediately fell silent.
Under the guidance of Di Renjie, Cao Cao walked into the imperial garden alone. Today he is dressed very casually, but his simple clothes do not make people think that he is rude.
The aura of the ministers is very strong, but who let them face Cao Cao this time? Hundreds of thousands of people have experienced the big scene, do you still care about dozens of people?
Cao Cao's gaze was neither humble nor arrogant, and he repaid everyone who looked at it in his own way. At the same time, he also conveyed to everyone that he was friendly and not to be bullied.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Huxin Pavilion, and I won't go in." Di Renjie stood aside and said respectfully to Cao Cao.
"Okay, there's work." Cao Cao nodded to him and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion.
When Cao Cao walked away, Master Zhang, who was familiar with Di Renjie, came over and asked, "Renjie, who is he?" Why do you call him Prime Minister? ”
"Lao Zhang, I don't call him prime minister, I really don't know what to call him. Do you know who he is? He is Cao Cao, the Cao Cao who stirred up the storm at the end of the Han Dynasty! Cao Cao who is about to play against us! ”
"Shhh With a gasp, Master Zhang said no more. He didn't expect that the person the empress was going to see today turned out to be him! Could it be that the unwritten Empress of Martial Virtue wants to subdue him in another way?
But does this trick work? He is Cao Cao, the hero of troubled times. However, there is nothing impossible, doesn't he like women? A woman like the Empress should be able to enter his eyes!
Of course, all of the above are the thoughts in Mr. Zhang's heart. This idea can never be spoken, not even by one's own loved ones.
A furnace of sandalwood is placed in the middle of the round table. The light smoke slowly rises up, filling the entire area of the Lake Pavilion with a quiet fragrance.
The empress wore a golden silk with a little powder, and her hair was raised in a high bun.
Today, she didn't let the female official serve, she was the only one sitting here, patiently waiting for Cao Cao's arrival.
"Mei Niang, Meng De is late, please forgive me." Cao Cao said with a smile, and then, with a swing of his robe, he sat on the stone bench opposite the empress.
"Prime Minister Cao, don't you think this is inappropriate? I'm the Empress! The empress was stunned and said solemnly.
"Hahaha..., Mei Niang's words are wrong. There are only men and women in this lake pavilion, where is the empress and prime minister? Cao Cao laughed, and then picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
"Prime Minister Cao, this is your wishful thinking! You can't bring your temper to my palace. The empress was solemn and looked directly into Cao Cao's eyes.
"Mei Niang. If you were to see Gu as the empress today, you wouldn't just wear Aya Luo and not the royal robe. If it was the empress sitting opposite Gu today, why didn't you see the female official waiting, why didn't you see the empress stop Lone's words and deeds? ”
"Prime Minister Cao, in the past, I could only see you in the history books. I didn't expect you to be so funny in reality. No wonder those women are fascinated and fall in love with you. ”
"Nope! Mei Niang, you are wrong. They are not obsessed with solitary, but obsessed with power in solitary hands, or a life-saving instinct. The times we live in are different from today's times, and it is not easy for a pampered woman to survive in troubled times.
When Lone met them, the forces they relied on had been annihilated. If they don't choose to be alone, they can only settle for the next best. However, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, plus how can there be so many chaste martyrs?
It is said that Lone likes women, but Lone does not deny it. But how can the world know the bitterness of loneliness? Everyone has a love for beauty, and it's true that Lone likes them, but who made Lone meet them late?
Besides, when Lone got them, their husbands were no longer there, and Lone was not considered a forcible robbery. Of course, occasionally Lone will make mistakes because of a man's impulsiveness. Speaking of this, Cao Cao thought of Dian Wei, and unconsciously showed a sense of nostalgia and apology on his face.
"Hey! I'll call you Mengde! Mengde, do you know why I have made an appointment with you in this way today? The Empress no longer emphasized her identity, picked up the remaining warm teacup, and took a sip.
"There are two reasons for this. First, the civil and military greetings of the Manchu Dynasty outside represent Mei Niang's respect for Lone, and it also means that Mei Niang tells Lone in this way that you are the empress, not an ordinary woman.
Second, Mei Niang's meeting with Gu today is not a formal meeting, but she wants to talk to Gu about the Central Plains in her private capacity. If the talks are good, Mei Niang may consider forming an alliance with Lone. ”
"Mengde, you are indeed as wise as the book says. From this to the other, I would like to ask, why do you say that I want to form an alliance with you? The empress did not refute Cao Cao's previous assertions. Now she was interested in Cao Cao's last words.
"Mei Niang, you must have a copy of the information on the battle of the deer. Our five parties, if we want to talk about closeness and association, it is naturally Yingzheng and Liu Bang who are closer.
Lonely, you, Genghis Khan, the three of us can be said to span hundreds of years, and there is not much affection between the parties. But because of this, there is an alliance in Lone.
The reason why Lone came to you so early was because he was worried that Genghis Khan would be Lone step earlier and come to form an alliance with you. Lone and he should have thought the same thing at this point.
If you make an alliance with one of them, one of us will never come again. At the same time, one of us will not go to Ying Zheng and Liu Bang.
Therefore, the battle for the deer developed to the end, why not be another kind of war of the Three Kingdoms? No one is more familiar with the Three Kingdoms than Gu. ”
"Mengde, I can understand that you want to blackmail me into forming an alliance with you?" The Empress put down the teacup in her hand and frowned slightly.
"You can understand it however you want. Now that you've made your decision, why bother with what you mean? Cao Cao chuckled, picked up the teacup, and took a deep sip.
"Hehehe..., Cao Mengde, your cunning I have learned today. Let's drink tea first! After drinking, we are talking slowly. There was a sly glint in the Empress's eyes.
Di Renjie, who was guarding the lake, finally let go of his vigilance after hearing the empress's laughter. If you want to say that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know the empress best, there is no one more than herself.
The sound of laughter means that the negotiation between the empress and Prime Minister Cao Cheng has entered the formal stage. Perhaps a big decision will be announced after they have negotiated.
