Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 103

    Cao Song has white temples and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Seeing the eldest son come home, the old father was naturally happy.

      Your Majesty is no problem.”

    Cao Cao is almost helpless, why are you still thinking about buying an official? That’s all for the county magistrate and the county governor. How many pairs of eyes are staring at Sangong Jiuqing. But Cao Cao couldn’t clearly say that you are a big pig’s hoof, so he hit him haha: “If it is possible, I want to be a prefect, and I can’t let Ah Sheng wander outside alone.”

    Hearing the name of the eldest daughter, Cao Song trembled faintly: “Is Ruyi alright? She always wrote that she was all right…”

    Cao Cao stuffed a mutton bun into his mouth, and after chewing, he said, “It’s not very good. I adopted a child a few years ago, but the child’s family caused trouble, so he had to let it out again.”

    My stepmother Hu’s eyes were red when she heard this. “I just said she’s going to endure hardship…” She lowered her head as she spoke, and her nose turned red when she looked up again, “Ape was also a widow last year, why are the girls in our family so miserable? …”

    Ape is widowed?

    Cao Cao raised his head in surprise, and sure enough, he found Ape in the corner of the last seat. The clothes are plain, the expression is numb, the table is not vegetarian, the mutton buns are still mutton buns. She is only twenty!

    Cao Cao took a sip of the soy milk and said, “What a big deal, Ape is young, his family background is not bad, and he is afraid that he will not find someone to marry?”

    “I’m going to be angry when I talk about this!” Cao Song patted his chopsticks, “I want to be a widow, even when I got married, I didn’t see how much love she had with the Qiao family boy, the concubine is a concubine. The bunch of girls don’t even have a direct daughter!”

    Ape bowed his head to the food on the plate, without giving his father even a glance.

    Cao Cao felt a little distressed when he saw this. The charming little girl at the time didn’t know what she had experienced in these years, and she became like this. “If I could spare some time, it would not be impossible for me to personally take you to Weihai to relax. But the current situation, alas… until the Peace Road subsides, there is really no safer place than Luoyang.”

    “Taiping Road is really going to be chaotic?”

    Cao Cao sternly said: “Anyone with discernment can see it. Ah Sheng sent someone to pick up his grandmother to Weihai last year. She hasn’t left Meiyuan for more than 20 years. Hesitant to agree to the long journey! Father still doesn’t understand?”

    “I naturally believe in my mother’s vision.”

    A meal is boring. After breakfast, Xiaohuangmen came to the palace to announce that Cao Cao went to face the saint. Cao Song saw that Xiao Huangmen’s face was full of smiles, but he was not worried, and let him go after a few words.

    When Cao Cao was a sheriff in Luoyang, he often went to the palace to tell the emperor’s case-solving stories. But after a long absence, he suddenly discovered that the Nangong Palace had been renovated.

    This is only the South Palace that handles government affairs, and the North Palace, which is the emperor’s back garden, doesn’t know how!

    The emperor received foreign ministers, as usual, in the Jiade Hall. The recently popular floor heating and wall heating have been installed in the hall, and His Majesty the Emperor sat cross-legged on a pile of soft cushions, entertaining the four-year-old Second Prince. “Dong Hou [1], what is this?” His Majesty the Emperor was full of fatherly love, holding Xiaodouding in one hand and shaking a rattle in the other.

    Xiaodouding Liu Xie pushed his father’s hand: “Aweng, a minister is here.”

    The emperor saw Cao Cao and smiled: “Meng De is back.”

    Cao Cao bowed down and saluted: “Thanks to Your Majesty’s concern, I am very grateful. I just don’t know about the Taiping thief that the general called yesterday…”

    “Hahahaha, Meng De still has such a temper.” The emperor pointed at Cao Cao and smiled, “You can rest assured, the leader of the thief Ma Yuanyi is already in prison, and the general will personally lead people to interrogate. The chaotic party, or the thieves everywhere, can’t escape.”

    “That’s good. I haven’t asked Your Majesty yet.”

    “Hahahaha, it’s all good.” The emperor put Xiaodouding on the table, “This is my new emperor, Meng De has not seen it yet.”

    Liu Xie almost didn’t cover his face: “Dong Hou is four years old, not new.”

    The emperor wanted to show off his son, Cao Cao could only boast: “The second prince is lively and smart.”

    “Does Meng De also think Ah Xie is smarter? I also think Ah Xie is smarter than his brother.”

      Besides, this young boy is only four years old, what do you think? “I have never seen the First Prince, but from Changqiu Palace, the Great Confucian education must be wise and decent.”

    Before he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort from outside. Cao Cao turned his head to look, only to see the back of a half-old boy wearing a black red brocade robe rushing away. Followed by a large group of court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly following.

    “He thought I didn’t see it!” The emperor patted the table a little too hard, Liu Xie hurriedly hugged his father’s arm to prevent him from taking pictures again. The emperor was comforted by his younger son, patted Douding’s head, and said to Cao Cao, “A-Ben was raised badly by his mother. It’s my fault. Knowing that the queen came from a humble background, she shouldn’t let her raise the child. How can he be like this now? How about being a master?”

    “Ah… Brother is still very good.”

    The emperor flicked on Liu Xie’s forehead: “What do you know?”

    Liu Xie hugged his forehead.

    When it comes to the battle for the storage position, Cao Cao put on wallflowers all the time. He was afraid that the emperor would say something to make him a minister. Although Liu Xie is indeed a smart and kind child, and there is a arrogant Liu Bian next to him as the control group, it is no wonder that the emperor, the father, is partial. However, the country is a long-term lord, let alone Cao Cao, who is on the side of He Jin, does not support the eldest prince from Empress He to support the second prince in Wang Mei’s life?

     “Meng De, we have both met, what do you think?”

      “The general is still working hard for the country, and it is inappropriate for His Majesty to express his dissatisfaction with the First Prince to foreign ministers. And when the minister heard that parents love their children, they must think deeply for them. There are only two princes under His Majesty’s knees. After experiencing brotherhood, what will you do in the future?”

     Take a stand, it’s finally over. The emperor was caught by his sons, and he let him go back without even mentioning the promotion of Cao Cao. However, his sense of Cao Cao became better and better, and after returning in the evening, he said to the left and right: “Cao Cao is an upright minister.”

    Unfortunately, Cao Cao couldn’t hear this.

    When the morning is ugly, when the day is the coldest and darkest, it is so dark that you can’t even see a single star. Cao Cao was sleeping in the gentle village of Mrs. Bian, whom he had not seen for a long time, when he was awakened by the noise outside. He is not greedy for beauties and quilts. He gets up and puts on his clothes and calls the servant next door: “But what happened?”

      At this time, Cao Cao went to shout, and the servants and maids also had a dazed look on their faces, and shouted: “Dalang calm down, I don’t know.”

        After blowing for a while, I saw Qin Liu appearing outside the window like a ghost.

    “Six met Dalang.”

    “There’s a lot of noise outside, what’s going on?”

    “I also just got news from the Imperial Army that His Majesty was assassinated.”

    “What?!” Cao Cao slammed open the wooden window, almost savagely staring at Qin Liu’s blurred face in the dark, “Is the news true? Is your majesty injured?”

    The figure outside the window was motionless: “The matter in the palace is not something I can easily find out, the boys are still collecting information. If no one deliberately blocked it, the details should be all over the city by tomorrow morning. Got it.”

    His calmness infected Cao Cao, Cao Cao was silent for a moment and lowered his voice: “You really don’t know about this?”

    “Darang, the master has set up rules since the establishment of the spy department, and nails will not enter the clan of Liu. .”

    “…Easy to avoid the important, you are not honest.”

    Qin Liu smiled slightly: “If Dalang has finished asking, please rest for a while. If such a big event happened tonight, I’m afraid that the forbidden army will lock the door before dawn.”

    “Where can I still sleep?” Cao Cao glared at him and turned out the window, “Go, find your father and mother.”

    The three masters of the Cao family stayed up for a long time. Cao Song put on Jiuqing’s official uniform, and took the lead to open the door to negotiate with the soldiers: “Today is the great dynasty, I should have gone to the palace meeting an hour ago, but Yin Er and others blocked the street and could not go. If Your Majesty is to blame, it should be how?”

    The soldiers treated Jiuqing politely, but the arms holding the weapons did not move: “Cao Gong, please come back, there is no imperial court today.”

    “How come there is no great dynasty?” Cao Song was anxious, “My family has served the saint for three generations, and they have never slackened, so why did I suffer the disaster of the armored army? I am one of the nine ministers, Are you going to kill me without the imperial decree?” The old man was so anxious that he almost fought with the soldiers.

    An unreasonable high-ranking official, who can’t fight and can’t fight, but makes the soldiers sweat. While sweating, he held a knife: “Don’t force me to wait, Duke Cao.”

    Cao Song was afraid of death, so he didn’t dare to break out. The two sides were deadlocked at the door. Finally, a general was invited and explained to Cao Song: “Yesterday, the **** Feng Chen and Xu Fengxing assassinated His Majesty, and there were Taiping thieves in the city, and even the forbidden army had internal thieves. Now the chaos in the palace has just happened. Clearing up, we have been ordered to stabilize the inner city, and seize the two families of Feng and Xu. This matter has nothing to do with Duke Cao, please be patient.”

    Cao Song wiped the cold sweat from his head, cupped his hands and asked, “How are you?”

    “This is not something I can ask.”

    On the 30th day of the first month of the Jiazi year, Emperor Ling was assassinated and injured. General He Jin searched for Taiping Road in Luoyang City, beheading more than 1,000 believers, and blood flowed into rivers.

    In mid-February, with the order to clear Taiping Road to the states, Taiping Road was forced to rise in advance. Because the church members who started the incident were marked with yellow scarves on their heads, the khaki-colored pieces looked like big moths, so they were called “moth thieves” in official documents. Of course, another name spread more widely in later generations – the Yellow Turban.

    The author has something to say: Note [1]: As soon as Liu Xie was born, his biological mother was poisoned by Empress He, so he was raised by Empress Dowager Dong. Therefore, Emperor Ling of Han jokingly called him “Dong Hou”.
