Chapter Thirty-Seven: It is better to talk with kings and ministers than to talk with chess

Five days later, Liu Xie's body had already recovered, he flipped through the music in the Chengguang Palace, but it was not as careful as usual, most of them were only a few cursory glances and it was over, his mind was not on the music, he pushed the music aside, as if waiting for someone to come.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister is asking to see you outside the palace."

"You let him in."

"Yes."

Liu Xie waved his hand to signal the inner attendant, and the inner attendant went to the outside of the palace to welcome the prime minister into the palace.

Cao Cao only saluted symbolically, "Your Majesty." His narrow eyes looked at him as always, and even when he saw the Son of Heaven, he didn't lower his posture.

"The prime minister doesn't have to be polite. I don't know why I came here today? Liu Xie and the others were Cao Cao, he asked knowingly, and the index finger of his left hand under the table lightly clasped his right hand.

"I heard that Your Majesty fell into the water and contracted the wind and cold, so I came to visit Your Majesty. Seeing that His Majesty's face was ruddy, he thought that he had been cured. ”

"It's hard to worry about the prime minister, I have recovered, and the prime minister doesn't have to worry. I also have to thank the prime minister's righteous son Qin Lang, if it weren't for his righteous help, I don't know what would have happened. ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, Qin Lang is my righteous son, he is the people, and it is natural for him to care about the Son of Heaven, if he changes his ministers, it will be the same."

Concerned about the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the world, Cao Cao is the person who is most worried about him, if something happens to him, then where did he come from to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Cao must be the target of the public.

"He's still young, he's calm, and in a few years, he'll be able to make a big difference. I originally wanted to write a holy decree to reward him in a few days, but since the prime minister is here, I will write it today, and the prime minister will thank my son for me. ”

"Your Majesty's good intentions, I have received it, but the righteous son has not yet found a job, how can I be rewarded."

"The prime minister said this to make me feel at ease, if it wasn't for the prime minister, I wouldn't be able to sit on the throne, so this reward only talks about people and things, not about position."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Please wait a moment, and I will draw up a holy decree."

Liu Xie summoned the inner servants, wrote the holy decree, and covered it with a jade seal. Liu Xie got up and took the holy decree to Cao Cao, "It doesn't have to be cumbersome, keep it simple." Take this decree away. Since the prime minister has seen that I am fine, let's step back first, the prime minister is still busy with the military and politics, so I won't send it. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The holy purpose was up, and Cao Cao also had to kneel to take it. "The world is in turmoil, and the minister still hopes that His Majesty will cherish it, don't listen to things that shouldn't be listened to, and do things that shouldn't be done."

After Cao Cao retreated, Liu Xie stood in place and repeated Cao Cao's words, "Don't listen to things that shouldn't be listened to and do things that shouldn't be done." Cao Cao, who should not say and who should not do it, this is not yet known. ”

Prime Minister's Office

Water pavilion, koi in the pool. Cao Cao and his military advisor Guo Jia played chess on the pavilion. Cao Cao holds the black son, Guo Jia holds the white son, one black and one white are just like them. Black, as deep as the night sky without stars, white, dazzling as a light in the dark night.

"Bong-hyo, tell me what you think." Cao Cao dropped a piece, waiting for the other party's reply and chess pieces.

"Then Feng Xiao said bravely. The Son of Heaven is in distress and is divided into one and two. Guo Jia's reply and Luozi did not hesitate at all, and his face was as calm as usual.

"Oh? What is one, what is two? ”

"This first, the Son of Heaven is in distress at the border between Xudu and Wancheng, and he has not left the realm of Xudu, who dares to make a mistake in Xudu? Even if the other party doesn't know the identity of the Son of Heaven, how can he not know that Xu is the land of the lord. His Majesty and the Empress encountered a rocket on the ship, and the arrow must have come from a well-trained army, and Feng Xiao did not believe that it was a random shot, and there must have been someone behind it to instruct them not to hurt their lives, even if they wanted to hurt their lives, they would send someone to pursue them. What's more, Wancheng is someone's place, the lord will not know. I think it was also done by his son who stayed in Wancheng, one was to intimidate and prestige, if he knew that the other party was the Son of Heaven, it was almost a discordant plan. ”

"It is worthy of my filial piety. So what's two? Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and left a son to continue listening to Guo Jia's words.

"This second, Feng Xiao dare not speak."

"Fengxiao, what is the relationship between you and me, why don't you dare to say it?"

Guo Jia pondered repeatedly and dropped white pieces on the chessboard. "The Son of Heaven is tempting the Lord. The banquet in the Qing Banquet Palace is already a sign. He was not satisfied with this and wanted to seize power. ”

"I think about it, Your Majesty is eighteen, and I have just come when I was at his age. But this alone is absolutely indispensable, and nothing can be done without it. I'd love to see what happens to him next. ”

"For this time the Son of Heaven is in danger, the lord does not need to do anything, Feng Xiao concluded that after a month, someone will come to the lord's side. As for the Son of Heaven, Feng Xiao believes that the lord has his own decision. I heard that His Majesty ordered to reward Prince Qin Lang? ”

"Fengxiao has always been good at perceiving people's hearts and being keen, I listen to you. It is true that Yuan Ming was rewarded, but my son did not think much of the reward given by His Majesty. I really want to give him a position, what does Feng Xiao think? ”

"Qin Lang Gongzi is humble and polite, and his martial arts are also excellent. The lord wants to give the post of Zhonglang to the son, I don't know if Feng Xiao guessed correctly? ”

"Haha! Those who know me are filial piety. Fengxiao, you say, will there be a second stepchild in this world who loves my stepson as much? ”

"Fengxiao admires the lord's open-mindedness, but it's just ...... There are many sons in the house, and the lord gave such positions to his stepson, and I am afraid that other sons will be uneasy. ”

"You're so smart on a daily basis, why don't you understand what I mean by making this decision. Also, Fengxiao has not yet started a family, so naturally he will not understand family affairs. You come with your ears. ”

Guo Jia stepped forward, and Cao Cao whispered a few words in his ear. Guo Jia smiled and saluted him: "Fengxiao is far less than the mind of the lord. ”

"Alright, you can finish this game with me. The big war is coming, and it will be difficult to have such a leisure time in the future. ”

Guo Jia, who was dressed in white, was concentrating and focused, and his smile after falling showed his difference. Prime Minister's Mansion, a game of chess that is difficult to win or lose, and a rare acquaintance in the world.

"Father-in-law, Yuan Ming is terrified." Qin Lang knelt in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao squatted down and looked at him, "Where did Yuan Ming get his panic?" If you have something to say, and you have not made a mistake, get up quickly. ”

"Yes, father-in-law." Qin Lang got up and saluted Cao Cao again: "Please forgive me for not accepting the position of the general of the five senses." ”

"Why did Yuan Ming say this."

"Although I have practiced martial arts, I have never been on the battlefield, and Yuan Ming has no military achievements, how can I hold such a position. Moreover, the brothers in Fuzhong are also smarter and more responsible than Yuan Ming. I also hope that my father-in-law will take back his mandate and give this position to someone else. ”

"Wu'er is modest, didn't he just save His Majesty and the Queen, and it doesn't count as a credit? Then tell me who else in the house can take responsibility. ”

"Yuan Ming doesn't know their identities, whether it's the Queen of Heaven or ordinary people, I won't ignore them. Yuan Ming didn't dare to say anything. ”

"Why did Yuan Ming say this?"

"If I say anyone's name, it will make my father-in-law think that Yuan Ming is prevaricating, and there is even a meaning that he is currying favor with the other party. My mother and I have a special identity, and it is because of the protection of my father-in-law that we can live a stable life in the house, and both Yuanming and my mother are grateful to my father-in-law and dare not ask for too much. I beg my father-in-law to think twice, otherwise Yuan Ming will not be at ease. ”

"Yuan Ming said so, how can I impose it on others again, the position is not in a hurry, if you want to in the future, I will still give you the position. You go back first, I still have important business. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Qin Lang stepped back and closed the door of the house, when he turned around, there was a different look on his face, a very complicated expression, he would not be Cao Cao's courtier, let alone participate in the battle of the son, even if the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to be stable, but who could say it clearly in the future, it was like he had been missing Ah Yan, but in the end he became His Majesty's queen, and his admiration ended without a problem, even so, he was willing to do it.

In the corridor of the house, Cao Pi and Qin Lang met on a narrow road, of the same age, they were both sons of the house, but they looked at each other coldly. "Don't think that if you do something, you can change something. False son. ”

"Cao Pi, although I don't know why she is by His Majesty's side, I believe that if you give Ah Yan another chance, she will still not be by your side."

Qin Lang's words were very plain, but they were undoubtedly sarcastic to Cao Pi, Cao Pi clenched his fists tightly, and his bones made a crisp sound.
