"Grandpa... Could it be the holy decree of the family..."

A family general who has followed Cao Shen for many years said worriedly.

Everyone in Cao Mansion was terrified at the moment.

But what can they do about it?

Even Cao Shen can only bite the bullet.

"Let's go, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided... Since the holy decree has come, there is no reason for them to wait, otherwise even if it is not the holy decree that offends my Cao family, I am afraid that they will be guilty of the crime of delaying the acceptance of the decree. ”

He led all the people in the palace to receive the order.

"Cao Guogong, why are you here now?"

Dafu frowned slightly.

He has served as the Yellow Gate for many years, and it is the first time he has seen a person who has received a holy decree and is not in a hurry to receive it.

Cao Shen didn't make much excuses, but knelt on the ground with both knees, hugged his fists and said, "Minister Cao Shen takes the order." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the Cao family knelt down together.

Seeing this, Dafu was about to unfold the holy decree slowly, and said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Recently, the imperial capital is in an emergency, and the five-nation alliance is in full swing, but the safety of the capital is related to the overall situation, and it must be guarded against.

I am very worried, knowing that Cao Qing is young and familiar with the art of war, recommended by the great prince, in order to promote the prestige of my Great Qin, I hereby appoint Cao Shen, the protector of the country, as the commander of Xianyang, and command 50,000 troops to ensure that the capital is safe!

I hope that Cao Qing will make immortal achievements, and I will win the battle in the future, and I will admire this. ”

As soon as Dafu's words fell, Cao Shen was dumbfounded.

Not only him, but even everyone in the Cao family.

They all thought that this would be a belated decree.

But I didn't expect it...

Cao Shen gradually came back to his senses, and said gratefully: "Minister Cao Shen, I will go to the soup for Your Majesty, for Daqin, and I will not give up!" ”

is nearly forty years old, and only then did he have the opportunity to appear again.

It's not easy!

It turns out that His Majesty has never blamed the Cao family, and he has never forgotten the Cao family!

How can you not let yourself be grateful!

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Shen took the holy decree and slowly got up.

If it were another emperor, it is estimated that the Cao family would have been copied a long time ago.

After all, participating in the battle for the succession and being the enemy of the current emperor is terrifying no matter how you think about it.

But the emperor did not blame.

At a time when his family and country were in danger, the emperor still remembered the Cao family.

The Emperor's grace is mighty!

"Grandpa, after bathing and changing clothes later, go to the Xuanzheng Hall immediately, without delay, Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Dafu said earnestly.

Hearing this, Cao Shen was puzzled: "Father-in-law, why did Your Majesty suddenly let me take command?" Listening to the meaning of the holy decree, it seems that I was recommended by the great prince? ”

Dafu informed the other party of everything he heard about today's court meeting, and advised: "Whether it is Your Majesty or the Great Prince, they all have high expectations for you, and I hope you can resist the enemy well and help Your Majesty and Daqin survive this difficulty."

Our family is waiting for the grandfather outside the house, so let's ask the grandfather to go to the bath and change clothes first, don't let Your Majesty wait. ”

"I'm tired of my father-in-law."

Cao Shen clenched his fists slightly and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his arms.

These fifty taels are definitely a huge amount of money that cannot be underestimated for the current Cao family.

Dafu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our family is on an errand for Your Majesty, and Grandpa, you are in command for the country. ”

"Righteousness!"

"Grandpa's righteousness is!"

After some courtesy, Cao Shen was still reluctant to stuff the silver ticket to Dafu.

And the latter is also really not wanted.

The other eunuchs basically had relatives, but he was alone, without relatives and no reason, even if he asked for silver, it was useless.

This is also one of the reasons why, among the many eunuchs, he is the only one who has become a close confidant of the emperor.

Cao Shen came to the backyard and instructed his subordinates to boil water, and later he would bathe and change his clothes and enter the palace to face the saint.

This is also the first time he has stepped into the palace since the coup d'état, and of course he should look more solemn.

"Xiaoyi, you go and make some good tea and send it to those fathers-in-law."

The little man in Cao Shen's mouth, whose big name is Cao Pujia, is eighteen years old, and she is his daughter.

He also had a son named Cao Ming, who was puzzled and said, "Father, what does the eldest prince mean, why do you recommend you to His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

He doesn't think it's that simple.

Moreover, even if his father is in charge, it is estimated that it will be difficult to keep Xianyang, right?

Before Zhang Xun and Zhao Yun defeated the enemy vanguard, their Cao family was full of families, and they were ready to be martyred collectively.

Cao Shen also fell into contemplation, and after a while, he suddenly opened up and said: "Recently, I heard some deeds of the eldest prince, he obviously wants to gain a foothold in the court, but he has no supporters, and now he is recommended to be the commander of his father, probably because he wants to..."

Speaking of which, he was amused.

However, many people in the Cao family heard the voice.

"Daddy! That big prince is a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and harm the township, you can't support such a person! He can't do it! ”

Cao Pujia suddenly remembered how serious the consequences of the battle for the heir that her father participated in back then...

Not to mention a person like the eldest prince, even if other princes want the Cao family to stand in line, they can't stand!

Otherwise, once it fails, the Cao family will be finished!

Cao Shen didn't hear his daughter's words in his heart.

Instead, one thing came to mind.

I had drunk with the eldest prince a few times, but I didn't think that the other party could remember me.

This time he recommended himself to be in charge, and the eldest prince must have thought it through.

No matter from which point of view, the eldest prince is not like a gentleman, but more like a true gentleman of benevolence and morality.

The eldest prince is a concubine, and there is no mother behind him, the royal family has always been cold-blooded, it is estimated that over the years, he has deliberately disguised himself as a gentleman in front of others, wanting to be the same as himself, hiding people's eyes and ears, just to protect himself!

Otherwise, how can we explain some of the recent movements of the eldest prince?

If it weren't for the eldest prince, I am afraid that the Cao family would gradually decline.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at him firmly, and said lightly: "Xiaomi, and you, from now on, you must remember that you must not underestimate His Royal Highness the Great Prince."

If it weren't for my father's expectations, the eldest prince, who was once considered a gentleman by the world, was just a disguise. Recently, there were two generals under the command of the great prince, and they worked together to defeat the enemy vanguard.

If the eldest prince is really gentle, why is there such a capable person under his command who is willing to serve him? The royal family is contentious, and the eldest prince pretends to be a gentleman, but I am afraid that the situation is similar to that of his father in the past two years, but after pretending to be his father for two years, he can no longer bear it.

And what about the eldest prince? But it has been pretending to be more than ten years! Is this something that ordinary people can do? Now that the soldiers of various countries are in full swing, the eldest prince must want to take advantage of this opportunity to give up his disguise and gain a foothold in the court.

He knew that his father had endured for many years, so he took the risk of recommending him as a father, wanting his father to help him in the court. ”

After hearing this, everyone in the Cao family was shocked in their hearts.

If it is really as my father (grandfather) said, then the eldest prince is really terrible!

Over the years of forbearance and disguise, how many people have to suffer from the white eyes of people.

Even so, the eldest prince was able to endure it, just to wait for an opportunity where he could make a splash, which is really admirable.

"Father, what do you mean?" asked Cao Ming cautiously.

Cao Shen laughed twice in succession, as if he had released all the accumulation buried in his chest in the past few years, and suddenly said: "For the father and the eldest prince are in the same situation, they cherish each other, if the eldest prince intends to go further, then the father will help him."

And to recommend his father to take command, he must have experienced a certain amount of risk, and even the eldest prince is not afraid, so what's so terrible about being a father? ”

After the words landed, he asked Cao Pujia to go to make tea, and he went into the house to bathe and change clothes.

The rest of the Cao family was a little confused.

There is another sentence, Cao Shen did not say it explicitly, if he said it, it is estimated that the current Cao family will definitely be a little panicked in addition to being confused:

"My Cao family, nothing else, just dare to stand in line! If it is wrong, it is nothing more than the death of one generation of people who have been raided and wiped out, and by the way, it is three generations of wealth and nobility, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition! ”

Anyway, they all planned to die for the whole family before, and they were already mentally prepared enough, since they had the opportunity, who wanted to live reluctantly?

Give it a go, and turn your bike into a motorcycle.

It is estimated that Yingchuan never dreamed that Cao Shen was really capable and capable.

He is really self-defilement.

The point is that he has now made a decision, not pretending, showdown, and not hiding clumsy.
