Chapter 035: Lively
"Shangxian, the matter here is very complicated, the battle has been arranged for more than two years, and the soldiers have long been prepared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Cao Fu first explained the seriousness of the situation, and then said, "But Lone has decided to give up this attack now, and after seeing Shangxian, Lone has decided not to use troops this year, but this matter cannot be said explicitly for the time being, otherwise there will be too many objections from the soldiers, after all, it has been preparing for this offensive for more than two years." ”
"I understand! Yes, Lao Cao, you did a good job, Liu Ding actually didn't want to go to war there. Hou Ruifeng relaxed when he heard this, now the development of the two countries is stable and stable, it is good to continue to develop, why fight and kill, they are all Chinese, isn't this letting outsiders take advantage.
"It's all for the sake of the immortals. Cao Fu modestly touted, but he snorted secretly in his heart, he didn't believe Liu Ding's words at all, of course he didn't want to go to war, but he said that he could count, if he had this ability, where would he find an immortal to mediate?
Anyway, it's not him Cao who is in a hurry to start the war now, his army has already prepared a lot of materials and baggage, and it can be delayed until next year, or even the year after tomorrow, but Shu Han and Sun Wu are not necessarily, the pressure of the army is not so comfortable, if you don't attack him, you have to prepare for turmoil in your own home, I heard that Sun Wu's prince has gone to the front line to settle the army, and Liu Ding can't control the domestic situation.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry at all, even if Sun Qing finds the mobile phone, what can he do, the development of Shangxian in the future will still rely on him Cao Fu, this is the general trend, unless Shangxian has earth-shattering means to reverse the situation, but at that time, he has already brushed enough favors here in Shangxian, so he will not lose.
Anyway, after Cao Fu discussed it with the queen, he planned it this way.
Regardless of whether the immortal interferes in the situation of the Three Kingdoms or not, as long as he often comes here to relax, he will definitely be affected, if he sees the misery of life for a while, he can't bear it, or has other thoughts, and wants to mediate the conflict between them, he must be prepared first.
"Lao Cao, I will remember your intentions. For Lao Cao's favor, Hou Ruifeng accepted it, and he had a package ticket in his mouth.
"Huh. Cao Fu smiled modestly, and didn't say much, he just wasn't ready to go to war, but he didn't say that he didn't use other means, such as this papermaking technology, since he and Liu Ding have it, then just give him a good look, don't you need fame, then fulfill you, I hope you can bear it.
At this moment, a few eunuchs came in from outside, reporting that the prince had returned and could leave to the river to worship.
At this moment, it is not early, Hou Ruifeng estimates that it is 10 o'clock, and the weather is hot.
It was a good time, a few people walked to the river under the leadership of the eunuchs, Cao Fu and the queen stood together, Hou Ruifeng leaned back a little, and stood with King Qi, listening to his whispered words, introducing simple etiquette.
Then the prince returned with everyone, which was a campaign given to him by Cao Fu, allowing him to walk around outside, show his face in front of the people and scholars, and also show his determination.
Then it was time to worship, and Hou Ruifeng completed the sacrifice under the gaze of countless eyes behind him, which contained various emotions.
The event then began.
At this time, there were no firecrackers, only gongs and drums were beaten as the opening ceremony.
In the sound of "bang bang bang" drums, the atmosphere became enthusiastic.
"Shangxian, let's go to the shed in front to watch. Cao Fu invited.
There are a lot of newly built sheds along the river, which are reserved for them to spare, and the sheds are cushioned high so that they can easily see the surrounding situation.
"Well, let's go see the regatta first. Hou Ruifeng replied.
At this time, the two banks of the river have been crowded with people, this time the dragon boat is made by the craftsmen in the palace, the style is very smooth, exquisite, there are various animal heads on it, painted in various colors, attracting the attention of many people.
And dragon boat racing in the Eastern Capital (later Luoyang's pronoun) popular for a short time, now people are also fresh, so there are a lot of people, fortunately Cao Fu has long been on guard, let the soldiers guard the periphery, save accidents and disturb the mood of the immortals.
Sitting in the shed, at a glance, his eyes are full of heads, and if he looks closely, there are many female dependents in it.
And the people in the distance are ordinary people, you can see from the clothes, there is no beauty of the crowd around them, the voice is even more noisy, and the other side of the river is the same, I don't care that the emperor is by my side.
"I heard that the prize money in this competition is very generous. ”
"What else have you heard, it's not just rich, there are 10 taels of silver for this participation, and the champion has 100 taels. ”
"It's a pity that we can't participate, and we're all decided. ”
Then several people sighed together.
The voices of these guys were very loud, right next to those soldiers who maintained order, and not far from the shed where Hou Ruifeng was sitting, and he heard it clearly, and he almost laughed.
He could see that those racers were very good at their skills, and they were agile and easy to move on the narrow boat, and they were probably specially looking for them.
Cao Fu and the Empress sat in the best position, while he sat with the Crown Prince and King Qi on one side, and on the other side was the Crown Princess and Princess Qi leading a group of women.
Below are the ministers and princes, but none of them are of high rank, and none of them can come in and talk to Cao Fu.
Hou Ruifeng looked at the crowds around him and sighed for a while, he hadn't seen this kind of grand occasion for a long time, that is, there might be so many people watching the fireworks during the New Year, and other festivals would be suspended, except for those places where tourism is booming.
This situation also infected his emotions, originally he promised this event to prepare to brush up on his presence here, so as to pave the way for leaving the palace in the future, so as to save trouble, but this time the effect is good, but there is more trouble.
He looked at the people under the stage who looked at him from time to time, a little helpless, this dress is too conspicuous, next to a group of people in ancient costumes, wearing jeans and coats, sitting next to the emperor, who can not be curious?
But it also made him feel good.
"If I leave the palace now, I guess I can eat with my face. ”
The sound of gongs and drums was rapid, and the dragon boat race began immediately.
And in a shed far behind them, Cao Lao was resting, he was old, he couldn't stand such a lively scene, and the smaller ones were about the same.
At this time, he was facing a middle-aged man with a few scholars who were supporting him, talking about the situation just now.
"Taiwei, this is what the old minister saw, the emperor said that he is not a monk. ”
The middle-aged man had a serious expression, he was Cao Wei's lieutenant Chen Chang, who was in charge of military planning for the past two years, but he didn't expect it to come to an end, but the emperor suddenly didn't want to go to war, which made him under a lot of pressure, and the emperor's attitude was not clear recently, he came up with this method, which killed two birds with one stone and met the requirements of Shilin and the sergeant, but he didn't expect to make him feel even more embarrassed, because the emperor's hint seemed to continue to move towards a bad place.
"Well, I know, you can help Cao Lao go back to rest first. ”
"No. ”
Waiting for a few people to leave, a middle-aged man came in outside, it was the last person to enter the shed, his name was Xiahou Bo, a side branch of Xiahou's family, who had recently lived in the Eastern Capital, wanted to enter the court, and had been collecting the movements in the court, waiting for the opportunity.
"Xiahou Bo has seen the captain. ”
Chen Chang nodded and asked directly, "What do you think of that monk?" ”
This Xiahou Bo had been in his staff for a long time, and he knew his ability to recognize people, so he joined him at the last moment and let him take a closer look.
Of course, this is also the advantage of the surname, otherwise Chen Chang would not dare to let people who don't know the details get close to the emperor, after all, the situation in the three countries is very tense.
Xiahou Bo stood in the shed, talked about everything, and told all the knowledge just now.
"That person is not a monk, maybe he is not clear about the situation in the country, this is very strange, it may be that he has just come to the country, and he does not know etiquette, but he is not at all different from those barbarians, he looks like a domestic person, and his previous life must be relatively good, and he is not the other two traitors. ”
Chen Chang nodded and didn't speak, that's for sure, otherwise, according to the news from the palace and the tall figure of that person, I am afraid that the emperor will already be in danger, which is also the key to his ability to slowly explore the plan, not to directly find an opportunity to take Hou Ruifeng.
But he didn't understand the situation in China? This was a bit of a surprise to him.
Chen Chang thought about it for a while, and asked Xiahou Bo to leave first, and then he was going to find the emperor, since the first thing had been done, now he was going to go out, and he wanted to get a definite answer.
"Holy!
Hou Ruifeng watched the dragon boat on the river in the distance quickly skim the water, a little surprised, he had competed in school once before, and knew that the speed of the wooden boat and the modern synthetic material boat was not the same, it was completely crushed.
But now the guys in the wooden boats are so fast that they seem to be much faster than they were then, and they are almost flying against the water, and it seems that the prize money is very attractive?
"Win!"
"Wow!"
"The red dragon boat is amazing!"
There were waves of exclamations of joy and joy on both sides of the river, mixed with the shouting of children.
"Smack. ”
The prince on the side also clapped his palms, his face was full of red light, and he could see that he was very happy, Hou Ruifeng heard him mutter, "I didn't expect rowing to be really fun, it seems that it will be done for a long time in the future." ”
Cao Fu smiled and watched Hou Ruifeng attracted attention, this is the appetizer, there will be more lively programs in the future, this time he spent a lot of thought.
At this time, Ye Xiang had already ordered things to come quickly, and Cao Fu said: "You go and let them compete again, the prize money is still the same." ”
"No. ”
As soon as Ye Xiang left, the figure of Taiwei Chen Chang walked from the side, attracting the attention of many people.
Cao Fu's face was straight, knowing that the main drama was coming.
