Chapter 20: The Mysterious Little Guizi
In this way, it is customary, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and every day never falls.
Regardless of his summer rain and winter snow, he is practicing hard anyway.
From this point of view, it is impossible for Cao Yi not to admire Ye Sanshan.
To be honest, if everyone in this world can have Ye Sanshan's perseverance, why worry about what can't be done?
Let's not mention the others for the time being, let's just say that the "recovering the homeland and welcoming back the three saints" that has been hanging in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Southern Chu for decades, why worry about it!
What about the Xia Kingdom in the far north? Could it be that it can really be taken as if a minister once said in the Xuanzong Dynasty of Northern Chu, what Xia people are like dragons and horses?
It's bullshit, it's absurd.
Cao Yi thought of this section, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "It is estimated that even an ant in the folk of Southern Chu knows very well what Zhao You has planned in his heart, and since Zhao You ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne all these years, he has always been planning for the Northern Expedition. ”
"Of course, at first, it was somewhat restrained, after all, Zhao Deji, the emperor of Jizong of Southern Chu at that time, was still alive, and Zhao You had to take care of Emperor Jizong Zhao Deji, and he didn't want Emperor Jizong to still be precarious and have a bad life in his old age."
"So I kept my heart excited, and after Emperor Jizong Zhao Deji returned to heaven and died, Zhao You was like a wild horse that had lost its grip, planning the Northern Expedition all day long."
"From day to night, Zhao You has the Northern Expedition in his heart all the time, but how can the Northern Expedition be so simple? For example, in the fourth year after the death of Emperor Jizong Zhao Deji, Zhao You gathered a full army of 160,000 and went to the Northern Expedition of the Xia Kingdom. ”
"The result? Hey! Needless to mention for the time being, until now, this matter is still a shadow in the hearts of many officials in the court. ”
Cao Yi put away his heart, took out the booklet given to him by the two henchmen eunuchs last night from his arms, and according to the specific hours shown above, he took two steps and walked all the way towards the Heart Cultivation Hall in the Xueyang Palace.
That Northern Expedition, as Cao Yi himself said, has been a shadow in the hearts of many people until now.
The point is, there is a good chance that this shadow will never be erased.
At the beginning, Zhao You's entire 160,000 army was almost the backbone of Southern Chu at that time, and 80% of the members of the Jizong Emperor Zhao Deji were painstakingly left to Zhao You's elite army to defend the country.
As a result, after three major battles, half of them died, and when they fled in a hurry, they died a lot, and they ran a lot.
When the 160,000 troops finally returned to Southern Chu, there were less than 30,000 left.
The pay and return are quite disproportionate, since this battle, the Northern Expedition, which was originally very illusory, is even more ridiculous and funny in the court of Southern Chu.
At that time, the Jizong Dynasty was fashionable and there were many people who really took "recovering their homeland and welcoming back the Three Sages" as their goal all day long.
And almost everyone has this thing in their hearts and wants to make it happen.
After all, for Nan Chu, it is quite important to recover the homeland and welcome back the Three Saints.
Chances are, nothing is more important in this world.
However, after making such a big effort, it was a big defeat in the end, and since then, no one in the court of Southern Chu has gradually mentioned this matter again.
Nowadays, what should have been a slogan "recover the homeland and welcome back the three saints" has really become an empty slogan.
It is said that Cao Yi should go to Xueyang Palace today, and if you count the days, Gu Guifei's menstrual cramps should also end.
The two of them are so close that Cao Yi didn't go to Gu Guifei early in the morning, but he couldn't say it.
However, according to what was written in the booklet, in the past three days, almost every time at this hour, Xiao Guizi of Jing'an Palace would sneak into the Palace of Heart Cultivation.
The chatter of the gods is like a mental illness.
There was no way to do it, so Cao Yi had to turn around in time and walk briskly towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
When he was about to walk to the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he suddenly saw a sneaky figure standing at the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looking around.
Seeing this, Cao Yi helped hide behind a tree.
Xu was destined by God, after Cao Yi hid behind a tree, it happened that the person had just come over.
The man made sure that there was no one around, so he walked in quickly.
Cao Yi smiled coldly, this person is not Xiao Guizi, but who is it.
In the previous three days, Cao Yi did not come to the scene to watch in person, and he didn't know what Xiao Guizi's mysterious actions were all about.
At the moment, I saw it clearly, and all of Xiao Guizi's actions were in full view.
Let's say that after the little Guizi walked into the Heart Nourishing Palace, his walking speed was obviously much faster than in the previous three days.
He turned three screens in a row and walked briskly inside.
Suddenly, he stopped and stood in place, frowned tightly and whispered: "According to what Gonggong Jiang said, most of that thing is hidden here, yes, yes, the vase he said is this one!" ”
Xiao Guizi didn't think about it, and immediately lifted the vase upside down and lifted it into the air.
As if he had used all his strength, he threw the vase in his hand to the ground.
It hung like this for a long time, but nothing fell out of the vase at all.
Xiao Guizi was so angry that he smashed the vase on the spot, even though the sound of breaking was earth-shattering, but Xiao Guizi didn't care about it at all.
Seeing the broken celadon all over the ground, Xiao Guizi hung his head and sat on the ground in a dejected manner.
I looked through it piece after piece, but I didn't find what he was looking for.
"Alas, it's been days, and I can't find it alive or dead, ahhhhh Could it be that Gonggong Jiang is lying to me? ”
Xiao Guizi frowned tightly and pondered for a moment.
Then he quickly shook his head and said to himself: "No, it won't be like this." ”
"Since Gonggong Jiang is not lying to me, where is this thing placed? Through what I have told Gonggong Jiang in the past three days, Gonggong Jiang should also know in his heart. ”
"Gonggong Jiang said that it was this vase, so it should be this vase, but the vase was empty, and there was nothing."
Xiao Guizi raised his head high, his hands on the spot, and looked at the roof with an anxious face.
At this time, Cao Yi hid in the dark and watched everything that happened in the hall.
Although Xiao Guizi's voice was very soft, because Cao Yi was very close to him, he could hear it clearly.
Cao Yi looked at him intently, seeing him staring at the roof with blank eyes, and then, Xiao Guizi gritted his teeth.
