Chapter 291: Cao Qichang figured it out
Why doesn't Cao Qichang think about a good place?
But will the crown prince let his eldest grandson go?
Ji Hong's secret guards are pervasive, and once a heavy amount of money is issued to the 'Jianghu Chase and Kill Order', those killers on the rivers and lakes who recognize money but not people will look for people everywhere like mad dogs.
If this is the case, then his eldest grandson Cao Zewei will be in danger.
Now that the Cao Mansion is declining, people in this world are all snobs, who dares to lend a helping hand to the Cao family at this time.
Everyone is afraid of offending the prince and losing his life.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned red and he turned his head.
Cao Feiyan saw that her father's hands were trembling, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
She knew in her heart that she had an empty title of queen, and she could only rule the harem.
Out of the palace gate, her decree is non-binding.
Otherwise, this is a serious interference in politics, which will be sent to the cold palace at the least, and forced to commit suicide at the worst.
In fact, if you want to find Cao Zewei, in addition to the ability of the Bloody Hand Gate Network, it depends on Cao Zewei's own luck and creation.
Seeing that Xiang Ye was secretly crying on the side, the concubine Zhao Ji couldn't help but interject on the side:
"Master, relax your mind, the top priority is to take care of your body, the eldest lady is the queen's mother, she will definitely be able to find Young Master Wei, it's really not good that there are two sons and third sons in our house..."
"Shut up, gibberish! Blow off one's mouth! ”
Cao Feiyan's pretty face narrowed, and she said angrily: "Zhao Ji, you go out first." ”
She finally couldn't take it anymore and issued an expulsion order.
Zhao Ji was used to being favored by Cao Qichang in the past, and she was usually unruly and unruly, but today she just bumped into the queen who was in a bad mood.
If it weren't for her father's face, she would have ordered the guards to drag him out and kill him with a cane.
Zhao Ji doesn't have much cultivation, so she can confuse Cao Qichang by virtue of her charming appearance and good kung fu.
She didn't expect the queen to be so angry, so she knelt down in a panic and said, "The slave is speechless, please forgive the mother." ”
Cao Feiyan didn't even look at her, waved her hand, like a fly, and asked Zhao Ji to leave the bedroom.
At this time, the shadow of the glazed porcelain vase was printed on Niangniang's body, turning her into a yin and yang double shadow person.
The sun was hanging high outside, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger.
Cao Feiyan personally took a towel to wipe the thin sweat on Xiang Ye's forehead, sighed and said:
"You don't want to listen to what I said before, the prince is not so easy to deal with, he really seems to have changed his personality, he is courageous, knowledgeable, and intelligent..."
In the middle of her words, she suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to repeat it in front of her father, so she stopped.
She didn't notice that Cao Qichang's expression became more ugly.
After a while, Cao Qichang stared at his daughter's pretty face and said in a deep voice:
"There are only two of us in this room, Yanzi, you tell your father the truth, have you been with the prince for a long time, and you really like him?"
Cao Feiyan was stunned for a moment, her cheeks rose slightly, and after a pause, she nodded yes, "However, if he dares to break his previous oath and be detrimental to the Cao Mansion, I will never agree." ”
"What if you don't agree?" Cao Qichang scoffed.
"It's... Anyway, if you don't agree, it's a big deal... Turn your face with him. ”
She squeaked and said the last four words, and she was also ruthless and gritted her teeth.
To be honest, she really didn't want that.
But this is her maiden family, the family that gave birth to her and raised her, she can't watch her family be destroyed and destroyed.
Cao Qichang sighed softly.
In the heart of a heroic man, the beauties of the country are sorted, and the country is always in the first place.
For the sake of the country, he can endure the pain and cut his love.
And Yuan Zhi is this heroic man.
If for the sake of the life and death of the Cao family, Cao Feiyan and Yuan Zhi fought hard to the end, the result would be that even she would be destroyed.
At best, Emperor Jiye had a tone, and in order to balance the relationship between the queen and the crown prince, and take care of the queen's emotions, he rejected Yuan Zhi's request.
How long did Emperor Jiye live?
More than one year, as little as three months, half a year.
Once Yuan Zhi ascended the throne, his first holy decree was to behead the Cao family all over the house, and also exterminate the nine clans and cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
At that time, the queen will also be abandoned to the cold palace, and even endanger the king of Jin.
"Yanzi, Dad knows that you will work hard for the Cao family, but even if you try your best, you can't fight Yuan Zhi, like this, Dad has figured it out and will be soft on the prince."
Cao Qichang held back for a long time, and he decided to give up the original family's goal and surrender to the crown prince.
"What? Father... Have you figured it out? ”
Cao Feiyan exclaimed.
She couldn't believe her ears.
Half a year ago, she went home to persuade her father and eldest brother to give up the fight with the prince.
As a result, she was sneered at by her father and brother, and returned to Funing Palace in disgrace.
She knew in her heart that if she wanted her father to say that she was soft, it was equivalent to killing him.
Others do not die, but the heart is dead.
Cao Qichang grinned bitterly and said:
"Is it okay not to accept softness? Do you want to be destroyed with the Cao family, and Yuan Xuan, alas, since you love him, although it is unethical, as long as you are the emperor in this world, he is supreme. ”
"As such, Yuan Zhi is also an old husband and son-in-law, I turned around to support him, heart
It's reasonable, it's just that the family face is a little ugly, but it's the old man's personal face that is lost. ”
"If I can use the old man's personal honor and disgrace in exchange for the safety of the children of the Cao family, and I can continue to carry it forward, I am willing."
"Thank you, father, hundreds of men, women and children of the whole clan on behalf of Yanzi, thank you for the mind of the patriarch." Cao Feiyan knelt down on her knees and choked up.
"Rise up, Swallow, and listen to the Father."
"Well, my father said, and the swallow listened."
Cao Qichang swallowed his saliva and said:
"You can find an opportunity to negotiate with the prince face-to-face, just say that I, Cao Qichang, am willing to sincerely assist him, hand over all the money houses in the four seas, including the underground armory, and dissolve the Bloody Hand Gate, and I will turn the conflict with him into a jade silk."
"The condition is that he must give up settling the accounts with the Cao clan, the verbal promise is not enough, there must be a written commitment, so that it can take effect, and when he signs it, the old man will sign it with him in person."
Cao Feiyan listened, thought for a while and said:
"Father, Yuan Zhi would like to be able to reconcile with Cao Fu and turn the conflict into a jade silk, and promise in person that it is no problem, but let him issue a written commitment, and both parties will sign and pledge, I don't know if he is willing."
Cao Qichang sneered when he heard this:
"He didn't have a choice! If you don't want to meet with the old man and sign a written agreement, you can tell him that my Cao family is determined to rebel, and if he sits still and waits for death, it is better to fight to the death, even if he loses, it will be heroic. ”
"I told him so clearly that he would definitely be furious, thinking that Cao Fu was provoking the imperial power, disrespectful, and wanted to destroy the Nine Clans."
Cao Feiyan understood Yuan Zhi's temperament, and she was a little worried.
"Exterminating the nine clans and exterminating the first clan, in the eyes of the old man, Yuan Zhi is a smart person, he understands the truth that the dog jumps the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites in a hurry, once he forces the old man to rebel, the Cao clan will definitely do their best, even if he wins the old man in the end, it will be a miserable victory."
Cao Qichang snorted coldly.
