When Cao Chao walked back to the Taiji Hall quickly, there was already someone waiting for him.

Seeing Cao Chao, the man hurriedly got up, picked up the things in his hand with a smile, and walked quickly in front of Cao Chao.

"Your Majesty."

The person who came was Zheng Xian, and she happily raised the cloth in her hand.

"The new clothes I made for Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to try them?"

After staying in the palace for a while, Zheng Xian can be regarded as making some progress, although she can't reach the level of sophistication like Sima Yu, but she is much more restrained than when she first came in.

Cao Chao didn't put on a score, took the underwear handed by the other party, and nodded politely, "Thank you." ”

Zheng Xian followed behind him, and after Cao Chao sat down, she sat down next to Cao Chao very boldly, almost close to him.

Cao Chao looked at the dress a few more times and praised: "The workmanship is good." ”

Zheng Xian laughed at this time, and she said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would set up a family banquet before?" I've done that, it's up to you to entertain whom. ”

Cao Chao stroked his chin.

Of course, the family banquet is to convene the clan, and some princes and kings outside can also bring their families to come.

Of course, you still have to choose some young and strong ones, otherwise people will have to go to see Emperor Liezu halfway.

Cao Chao always does things premeditated.

At the moment, the Three Kingdoms, only the Wu State is still surviving, and judging from the wars in these days, they can't hold out for too long.

This gap in national strength can not be smoothed out by favorable terrain.

The biggest gap is the gap in the temple, Wu is still moving in a worse direction, infighting is continuous, fighting for power and profit, this is basically no possibility of turning the tables.

Then, naturally, it is necessary to make a move against the big clan, and if you want to do the big clan, you need the power of the clan.

If you want to get closer to the clan, family feasts are indispensable, and it is best to let your wives establish contact with the clan family, and don't despise those women.

Every coup d'état in Wu failed because of a woman's whistleblowing.

Cao Chao instructed: "The list of banquets will soon come to you, you should contact their wives more letters, and sometimes, you can invite them to come to the palace and communicate with people more."

Zheng Xian's eyes widened, she thought for a long time, and then said: "I have never met them, how can I make friends with them?" ”

"They don't need you to make friends, they will find a way to make friends with you."

"Don't offend these people, just move around more on weekdays, write more letters, and don't just look at these clans in the temple, the wives and daughters of the princes and kings outside, and the wives and daughters of the ministers in the temple, you can go back and forth."

"Get along with them more, and you will gradually learn a lot of truths."

Zheng Xian nodded, "I'm afraid I'll do something wrong."

"It's not difficult, listen to me."

Cao Chao asked her to bow her head, and then commanded in a low voice, "When you meet an older person, you will complain to her that young women are disobedient nowadays, and they can't get close to talk about how difficult it is for children to discipline nowadays, and when you meet a young person, complain to her about how difficult it is for this mother-in-law to wait, and scold those beautiful women who hook up with men."

When Cao Chao told her how to make friends with women, Zheng Xian was stunned.

How do you even know this??

When Cao Chao said these words, his face was always very calm, neither shy nor funny, just very ordinary.

Sometimes, Zheng Xian feels that her lover is not quite like a person.

He has to plan everything he does, even those things between husband and wife, he has to plan how long it will take to do it, how many times it will last without hurting his body or anything.

Is it really necessary to do this to this extent?

Zheng Xian was already thinking nonsense at the moment, but Cao Chao suddenly asked, "What about the situation where the Queen Mother is?" ”

Cao Chao hasn't visited the Queen Mother for almost four days, mainly because there are too many things.

Zheng Xian hurriedly came back to her senses, she said: "It's okay, it's just that Your Majesty hasn't been there for a few days, and the Queen Mother is a little worried."

"That's right"

Zheng Xian remembered something, so she lowered her voice again, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, a eunuch took a letter to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was extremely happy after reading it, and then someone sent a lot of gifts."

Cao Chao didn't say a word.

How could there be something in the palace that Cao Chao didn't know?

Of course, he also knew about this matter, it was Guo Huai's son who gave the gift, named Guo Tong, this guy came to the Queen Mother under the pretext of having a relationship, in fact, he wanted to run the affairs of Shuzhong.

This guy wants to be a thorn over there.

After Guo Huai's death, the Guo family suffered a huge blow, successively damaged several door pillars, and because of these people, it was liquidated many times, and the force was completely different from before.

This Guo Tong is not very talented, although he inherited his father's title, but he has no official position, and he came to the Queen Mother to seek an official

Just looking at this, you can see that this person really has no ability, and he doesn't even have vision.

Cao Chao pondered for a moment, and then said to Zheng Xian: "For the banquet and contact, you go to Sima Yu and ask her to come forward to help you." ”

"The Queen Mother, I'll go over and talk about it myself."

Zheng Xian hurriedly got up, walked a few steps, and reminded: "Then Your Majesty must try it." ”

Cao Chao smiled and did not answer.

Zheng Xian walked out of here and went directly to Sima Yu's side.

Now, Sima Yu is alone in the palace, his son has gone to study outside the palace, relying on some unspeakable relationships, Guo Ping was directly sent to a more educated person to study.

That's right, he went to Wang Su's side, and Cao Qi, Sima You and others were studying there.

Sima Yu is very happy about this, after all, her son can study with Da Confucian, which is something that cannot be desired.

She herself stayed in the palace, although she was lonely, but she was in a happy mood every day.

"Sister!"

Zheng Xian hadn't come yet, but the voice had already come in, and Sima Yu hurriedly put down what she was doing and went to greet her.

Zheng Xian walked in and saw Sima Yu who was saluting her, and helplessly helped her up.

"Sister, you are more advanced in the palace than me, why should you always be like this?"

"There can't be no rules in the palace."

Sima Yu replied with a smile.

Zheng Xian shook her head again, sometimes, she really felt that maybe Sima Yu was more compatible with her own emperor.

She opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty is like this, and so is you, Your Majesty has given me a big matter today, let me ask you what you think." ”

"Okay, sit down first, I just made some snacks, you talk while eating"

Perhaps because there is no competitiveness, the relationship between Sima Yu and Zheng Xian is very good, and Zheng Xian generally uses Sima Yu as his military advisor.

"Sister, how long has it been since Your Majesty came?"

As soon as she stuffed a piece of candied fruit into her mouth, Zheng Xian asked curiously.

Sima Yu replied without hesitation: "It's been twelve days, and Your Majesty will come tomorrow." ”

"He's really good that the emperor didn't tell him that once a year would be good for his body."

Hearing Zheng Xian's words, Sima Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has greater ambitions, and if things are not done well, you are naturally unwilling to indulge in pleasure, besides, Your Majesty is still young now, and wait for him to grow up a few years later."

"Then I guess I'm going to run to my sister every day."

The two chatted, and Cao Chao also came to Zhaoyang Hall at this moment.

When the Queen Mother saw Cao Chao, her worries in these days were finally put down, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly let Cao Chao sit beside her.

"My son, you haven't been to see you for four days, and I thought something had happened to you."

"I worried my mother, I was at war with the State of Wu, and everything was complicated, so I couldn't come to see me."

As Cao Chao's real power grows bigger and bigger, the role of the Queen Mother has become less obvious, and Cao Chao has nothing to use her, just let her not cause any more trouble for herself.

Of course, it cannot be said that it is completely useless.

The Queen Mother is also a guarantee for Cao Chao, the Queen Mother can't deal with others, but it's still very useful to deal with the clan

Cao Chao needs to maintain his good image here in the clan.

However, if some clans go too far, they have to clean it up.

At this time, you can let the Queen Mother come out to do things, in the big family of the Cao family, although Cao Chao is considered the head of the family, but the weight of the Queen Mother Guo is more sufficient.

If Empress Dowager Guo orders which clan to be killed, she will be punished and so on.

Cao Chao can only "execute with tears" and cannot object.

Empress Dowager Guo cleared her throat and said: "A few days ago, Guo Tong, the Marquis of Yangqu, came to me, saying that he also wanted to serve the country, but he is Guo Huai's son, and I heard that he is also proficient in strategy, why don't you use this person?" ”

Cao Chao laughed, "Did he tell his mother what official position he wanted to do?" ”

"He said that he wanted to go to Shuzhong, where there are all kinds of wastes waiting to be rebuilt, and it is the place where he has made contributions."

Cao Chao nodded, "Since my mother has opened her mouth, I naturally can't help but obey, so let's let him go to Shu and be a Taishou in Nanzhong, what does my mother think?" ”

Empress Dowager Guo laughed, where did she know anything in Nanzhong Yunzhong, she only knew that her son promised herself and felt that she was valued, and that was enough.

She hurriedly said: "My son, I'm just recommending, you don't have to inspect others because of me." ”

"Mother don't worry, since you opened your mouth, how can I not listen?"

"You can invite him over later, and don't let him send anything sneaky, you can tell him the good news in person!"

"If you want to make a meritorious career and want to assist the Holy King, this is a good thing, why wouldn't I agree? I'm worried about the lack of talents in Shuzhong, and everyone is reluctant to go to Nanzhong, but I didn't expect that this Yangqu Hou actually took the initiative to ask for help. ”

Cao Chao said with emotion: "It is worthy of being the son of General Guo, he really has his father's demeanor, very good!" ”

"I promise, Mother, and you can summon him later!"

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Empress Dowager Guo was excited and nodded hurriedly.

"Good!!"
