Chapter 152: The Prince

In the Tai Chi Hall, Cao Chao sat on the top seat solemnly, with many recitals in front of him, but his eyes were a little sloppy.

His attention was not on the recitals in front of him.

His heart was flustered to the extreme.

Since he got rid of Sima Shi, Cao Chao hadn't been so afraid for a long time.

The main hall was empty, and there was an occasional sound of footsteps outside, which was the Yellow Gate of the changing guard.

Cao Chao only felt that his thoughts were a little confused, picked up the music table in front of him, and looked at it a few more times.

This is the battle report sent by Biqiu Jian.

Since the last time he defeated the Wu naval army on the river, General Biqiu Jian began to make every effort to develop the naval army and prepare for the capture of Jianye.

He set up a very large shipyard in Huainan and gathered many excellent shipbuilders at great expense, some of whom even got them from Wu.

The development of Wu's navigation career is really good.

This is all the credit of Emperor Sun.

At that time, Gongsun Yuan sent people to Wu to offer horses, and Emperor Sun was very happy to canonize Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan despite the opposition of his ministers, and at the same time sent 10,000 people to escort Gongsun Yuan's envoys back to Liaodong by boat.

As a result, after these people arrived in Liaodong, the main envoy was beheaded and given to Cao Wei, and the rest were used to enrich the local population and confiscate money.

When some of them fled, they came to Goguryeo, so they made diplomatic contact with them.

In the second year of Huanglong, Emperor Sun sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead 10,000 soldiers to the sea to find the immortal mountain and seek the elixir of "immortality".

The men eventually landed on Yizhou, where thousands returned.

Later, on a whim, Emperor Sun sent Zhu Ying and Kang Tai to lead the fleet to the "Southern Xuanguohua", their purpose is today's Southeast Asia, according to records, these two people have arrived in nearly 100 countries, and recorded their customs and customs, when they arrived in Funan, Zhu Ying and others met the "Tianzhu" messenger, and asked them about the situation of "Tianzhu".

In terms of navigation and shipbuilding, Wu was still far ahead of the other two countries, but Wu's superb technology did not mean that Wei was weak.

Wei also has many records of going to sea, especially in the later period, the technical gap between the two sides is not so big, both sides have different requirements for ships, Wu people are obsessed with building ships, five-floor ships, the bigger the ship, the better, the more armor soldiers that can be boarded, the better, creating one behemoth after another.

These behemoths have their own names just like later generations, such as Feiyun and Gaihai, these are all fifth-floor ships, which can carry 3,000 armor soldiers!

It's much more powerful than the average building ship.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fortress on the sea, a behemoth.

Cao Wei, on the other hand, did not attach much importance to the carrying capacity and height of the ship, but more concerned about speed, agility, and sturdiness.

The main thing is to get too many people on one ship, which is not very good, and it is easy to have a big accident after a fire

In short, the naval armies of the two countries have gone in different directions, and in order to defeat the Wu State, Biqiu Jian has also worried about the major affairs of the naval army over the years, and now, the Wei State finally has a large fleet of building ships, and the largest fifth-floor ship, the Great Wei also has one.

Biqiu Jian personally nominated it, and his name was simple, it was called the Broken Thief and the Broken Thief.

Compared with the names of the beautiful ships in Dongwu, it is really simple and direct, and Cao Chao suspects that if there are a few more fifth-floor ships under the command of Biqiu Jian, he will have to start calling Zhusun, Fuwu and the like.

At this moment, the sound of Cheng Ji's heavy footsteps came.

Cheng Ji stood at the door, saluted Cao Chao, and then said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has come to pay a visit."

Cao Chao put down the watch in his hand, his lips trembled, so you dare to say this!

How can there be a queen mother in the world who came to meet the emperor!

Cheng Ji's words sounded absurd as if he was talking about why the emperor wanted to rebel.

Cao Chao had no choice but to get up and walk out of here quickly, and just when he came to the gate of the Taiji Palace, he saw the angry Empress Dowager Guo.

Cao

Fashion hurriedly smiled and walked over to her side, "Meet Mother!"

Empress Dowager Guo glared angrily at Cheng Ji, who was standing behind him, "What kind of person are you using?!" How dare you stop me?!"

Cao Chao glared at Cheng Ji and scolded, "How dare you be rude to the Queen Mother?! Let's see how I punish you later!"

He hurriedly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, and said softly, "Mother, this person is a martial artist and doesn't know etiquette, please don't blame him, I will naturally not forgive him."

Cao Chao took the Queen Mother to pass by, but Cheng Ji just stood in place.

After following the Queen Mother into the West Hall, the Queen Mother carefully sat on the top seat.

These days, the Queen Mother is not in a very good mood.

Because, Cao Chao's child is about to be born.

If the Queen Mother really treats Cao Chao as her own child, then this should be an excellent thing, but the Queen Mother can't do this.

She harbored an inexplicable dislike for the newborn.

Maybe it's because the Queen Mother herself has never given birth to a child, or maybe it's because she's worried that Zheng Xian's status will surpass herself, or maybe it's because of something else.

At this moment, sitting on the top seat, the Queen Mother began to talk about Zheng Xian.

"Zheng Xian, how's it going? Have you not been born yet?"

"Not yet, there's no news."

Empress Dowager Guo said the cliché, "Don't worry too much about this matter, you are the Son of Heaven, you should care more about the world than such a trivial matter."

She said seriously: "Whether it is this palace or the people, it has always been the mother and the son."

"Zheng Xian is good now, there is no rudeness to you or me, but her grandmother is really not a person who knows etiquette!"

"Zheng Xian set up a family banquet before, and when this person came, he actually greeted Zheng Xian first, instead of saluting me."

"If Zheng Xian has a child this time, don't rush to see it, if you like this child too much, then Zheng Xian will become unruly, relying on her son and becoming invincible, sooner or later it will be a big deal!"

"You just wait, and after a while, you can come and visit."

Although Empress Dowager Guo has never given birth to a child, she is like a very experienced lady at the moment, chattering about her experience, Cao Chao sat calmly on the side, nodding her head from time to time.

He saw that Empress Dowager Guo had begun to be a little jealous and jealous of Zheng Xian.

After all, she has never had children in her life.

No wonder I have to come to see myself today.

Empress Dowager Guo said a lot, but there is only one main problem, that is, to persuade Cao Chao not to attach too much importance to Zheng Xian because of the child, and even to suppress her slightly, so as not to let this queen be arrogant.

Just when Cao Chao was listening to the Queen Mother's chatter about her experience, suddenly a eunuch hurriedly walked into the west hall.

Cao Chao saw the eunuch's face, and his flustered heart immediately calmed down.

The eunuch had a rich smile on his face, and the joy could not be hidden.

"Your Majesty!! The queen gave birth to a son!"

"Mother and child are safe!"

Hearing this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on the Queen Mother's face, but she didn't say anything.

Cao Chao wanted to stabilize his mentality, but unfortunately, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he couldn't hold it back.

He stood up suddenly.

Empress Dowager Guo looked at Cao Chao, who suddenly got up, and hurriedly said, "Fashionable! Don't forget what I told you!"

Cao Chao looked at her, "Mother, go back and rest first, I have written it down."

Empress Dowager Guo was a little angry, "Are you perfunctory to me like this now?!"

Cao Chao looked at the eunuch on the side, "Go and send the Queen Mother back to Zhaoyang Palace."

After speaking, he looked at the Queen Mother again, and his eyes became a little sharp, "Mother should be tired."

The queen mother, who was still arrogant, looked at the suddenly strong emperor, but she couldn't even speak, she leaned back a little,

"Hmm."

Cao Chao just stared at her, the eunuch walked to the side of the Queen Mother, helped her to get up, the Queen Mother left here in a hurry, at this moment, she was like a frightened old rabbit, she didn't even have the courage to look back at Cao Chao, and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Originally, this hour was still the time when she was most proud, but Cao Chao was so strong that it disrupted her biological clock and made her start to be frightened in advance.

Cao Chao didn't pay any attention to her, turned around and walked towards Zheng Xian.

Cao Chao was stopped again in the Changqiu Palace, and it was a few palace maids who stopped him.

With the progress of the times, medicine has also been greatly improved, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, women who have just given birth are not allowed to see outsiders, and there are usually two explanations of metaphysics and medicine.

The metaphysical explanation is ominous, while the medical explanation is that the body is weak and susceptible to diseases.

The palace maids looked at the emperor helplessly, and tried their best to explain the rules to him, and they needed to wait for seven days before they could meet.

Cao Chao didn't break this rule, and he wasn't proficient in medicine, but the doctors said so, maybe there would really be some infection problems, just wait for a while, no problem.

As for the children, Cao Chao can still go to see them.

When Cao Chao saw the small thing that had just been washed and wrapped in the side hall, Cao Chao only felt his heart tremble, he took the child carefully, and was even afraid that he would use too much force and hurt the shaft.

The little guy was wrinkled, and judging from his appearance, Cao Chao couldn't tell whether he was like himself or Zheng Xuan, but the palace maid on the side said with a smile: "Several types of Your Majesty!!"

Cao Chao hugged the little guy, and was a little at a loss for a while.

He looked at this guy seriously, in this lonely life, he seemed to have an extra light, and the gray-white world around him was suddenly full of color, and he could feel his more and more rapid heartbeat.

Cao Chao grinned.

Many of the eunuchs around him were panicked, this was the first time they had seen the emperor smile like this.

It's not that the emperor can't laugh, but his smile on weekdays is also very restrained, always in the middle of laughing and not smiling, and he has almost never seen him so happy.
