Chapter 61: Cao Tu
Cao Ze's carriage drove through the noisy downtown area, through the outer city, the inner city, the capital, and the imperial city, and finally arrived in front of the palace.
Along the way, the carriage galloped forward, and the pedestrians consciously retreated to the side of the road, and any arrogant and domineering princes and sons, meritorious relatives and nobles all saw the change of color, and did not dare to have the slightest disrespect, and honestly gave way.
Compared with going out of the city this morning, Cao Ze returned to the city with more power and reputation, which was made of human heads and white bones, and he would become a skeleton with ten thousand bones.
Although Cao Ze deliberately kept a low profile, there was only one carriage to travel, and there was no big pomp, but some people with some backgrounds in the capital knew the symbol of the Cheqi General's Mansion, even if they were in the opposite camp, they were intimidated to see it.
In the battle outside the city, all forces in Zhengjing were the first to receive the news, and even this battle was followed by all parties from beginning to end.
Yesterday he defeated the great general Chu Yuan, and today he defeated the great master of the heavens, Lu Fengxian, and also ordered the 300,000 elite troops of the White Tiger Army, the Heavenly Wolf Army and the Zhenyuan Army to be slaughtered, so that the plains outside the West City became a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Cao Ze has become synonymous with cruelty and ruthlessness in the eyes of all forces, and at the same time has an additional title: "Cao Tu"!
The last person in the Great Qian Dynasty to be given this title was the great general Chu Yuan, who led the army to suppress the White Lotus Rebellion, and slaughtered 3,000 miles of blood, killing rivers of blood and piling up of heads, known as "Chu Tu".
In front of the palace, the guards guarding the city saw Cao Ze's carriage, and immediately opened the palace gate and let the carriage pass.
Cao Ze is a general of the chariot and cavalry, the general palace guard, and the palace guards are theoretically under Cao Ze's command, and he has the pass token of the palace, so he can enter and exit by himself, and the guards naturally dare not stop him.
"Driving~driving~"
At this time, a carriage came in a hurry, and it was about to pass through the palace gate first, and the guards guarding the city suddenly changed their faces when they saw the carriage.
They can't afford to offend the general of the chariot cavalry, and they don't dare to offend the people who come, if there is a conflict between the two sides because of the road, it will be miserable to affect the pond fish.
"It turned out to be her, and it was a coincidence."
In the carriage, Cao Ze's Yuan Shen probed a little, and he knew who was coming.
Princess Zhaojun!
The last time I saw the empress leave the palace, I met here, and afterwards Cao Ze inquired about the information of Princess Zhaojun, this eldest princess is very rude and willful, and is deeply favored by the queen mother, and the empress is also very doting on her.
Unexpectedly, this time I entered the palace to meet the empress, and met this unruly princess again.
"Fauber, take shelter for the time being."
Cao Ze hesitated slightly, and then said to Fu Bo, he didn't want to provoke the brutal Princess Zhaojun for the time being.
Fu Bo immediately drove the carriage aside and gave way to the palace.
The guards guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief, and a little gratitude was born in their hearts.
The speed of the princess's carriage was extremely fast, and the princess hurried into the palace without knowing what was in a hurry, and soon came to the gate of the palace city.
Inside the carriage, Princess Zhaojun opened the curtain and glanced outward, just caught a glimpse of Cao Ze's carriage, and when she saw the sign on the carriage, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" ”
"Phew~"
The carriage stopped, right next to Cao Ze's carriage.
"Inside the car is the general Cao Shaoqing?" A melodious voice like a silver bell sounded in front of the Miyagi gate.
I don't see them, but I hear them.
"Exactly." Cao Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.
"General, please go first!" The pleasant voice sounded again.
Cao Ze raised his eyebrows, not knowing what the hell this Princess Zhaojun was doing.
It is rumored that he is rude and willful, but now he is very polite to him, and his voice is pleasant, could it be that the rumors are wrong?
In a flash of thought, Cao Ze did not refuse, but said, "Thank you, princess." ”
Princess Zhaojun opened the curtain again, looked at the departing carriage, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, a bright light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she muttered a few words to herself in her heart before ordering to move on.
After entering the palace, Cao Ze quickly left Princess Zhaojun who he met by accident behind, and kept thinking about the empress and the empress on the way to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.
Today he gave the empress a big gift, even if the empress does not reciprocate with springs, she can also let others reciprocate with springs, Cao Ze is a person who knows how to be grateful, and he hopes that others will always be as grateful as him.
Cao Ze walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall with Xue Ningmei, and the empress and Qingluan had been waiting for a while.
The empress's gaze swept over Xue Ning's eyebrows, fell on Cao Ze, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "Shaoqing, you gave me another big surprise, but what do you want?" As long as you open your mouth, I will definitely answer. ”
Qingluan only glanced at Cao Ze, and then focused his attention on Xue Ningmei, with a faint battle intent in his eyes.
She had long noticed that this woman was not simple, not only her appearance was beautiful, but her strength was also extremely strong, and it seemed that today it was exactly the same as she guessed.
In the battle outside the city, Cao Ze was out of the limelight, and Xue Ningmei was also famous all over the world, slashing the great master of the heavens, this record can be described as remarkable, and Xue Ningmei's sword slashing the great master of the Great Qianguo, the peak grandmaster who shocked the world, added a bit of legend.
"Sharing the worries of His Majesty is a matter within the courtier's duty, and there is no need for reward." Cao Ze once again refused the empress's reward, and he knew that it was not yet time.
Cao Ze doesn't look down on the usual rewards, his goal is very clear, he wants Emperor Qian's harem, whether he is in office or this one, and he also wants the empress and Qingluan.
The empress's words are good, but if Cao Ze makes such an "excessive" request, the empress is afraid of having an opinion in her heart, which is not conducive to his future strategy, so it is better to brush the empress's favorability and make a selfless image of thinking about the empress for the sake of everything and not asking for anything in return.
After winning the empress, what does he want?
And the queen hasn't slept for the empress yet, he mentions these things now, it's easy to spoil good things, that Qingluan can't get used to him, I'm afraid he doesn't say bad things about him in the empress's ear.
When the empress heard this, the smile on her face became even worse, her gaze at Cao Ze became closer, and her good impression of Cao Ze improved a lot.
Cao Zecai was ordered to enter Beijing for a few days, not only stood firmly on her side, sheltered her from the wind and rain, but also made great achievements, and dealt a severe blow to Chu Yuan's prestige.
The two exchanged ideas, and when it came to the battle outside the city, the empress praised Cao Ze, saying that he was the Great Qianzhu Stone, her Optimus White Jade Pillar, and with Cao Ze, she was no longer afraid of the great general Chu Yuan.
"Shaoqing, did you consider the matter of ordering the total annihilation of the three major legions?" Speaking of the end, the empress said thoughtfully.
"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Cao Ze's eyes moved slightly.
"Alas~"
"The White Tiger Army, the Heavenly Wolf Army, and the Zhenyuan Army are all the elite of my Great Cadre, how good would it be if they were used to defend against foreign enemies?"
The empress sighed in her heart, and then said slowly: "I'm worried that Chu Yuan and the three kings will take the opportunity to make trouble and make a big fuss about this matter, and then rumors will be all over the capital, which will be somewhat detrimental to your reputation." ”
"You just entered the palace, I'm afraid you don't know, someone has already called you 'Cao Tu', saying that you are doing great evil."
When Cao Ze heard this, he sneered and said indifferently: "Kill several people, and those who run rampant on one side are thieves and bandits; Kill 10,000 people, and gallop the world, for the king, for the phase, for the hero. ”
"What is good? What is evil? ”
"If you can make the enemy fearful and frightened, if you can help the great cadres in danger, save the society from fire and water, and help Your Majesty stabilize the universe, why can't I Cao Ze be a great evil person and do great good things?"
