Yedu, cold late night.

Cao Rong woke up with a sudden shock, only to feel that his hair was sticky and wet and uncomfortable.

He got up from between the two girls and felt a cloth towel to wipe the sweat on his face and chest, as if the sweat was inexhaustible, and the cloth towel was also wet.

He pulled a thin silk quilt and draped it on his back and turned to stay, and the girl who was alarmed by him made a muttering sound, and slightly changed a position that was convenient for Cao Rong, and continued to sleep, very tired and tired.

Cao Rong was so thirsty that under the bright candle flame, the gold and silver wine glasses, wine jugs, fruits, undergarments, skirts, and towels around the bed were scattered, and he could only walk a dozen more steps and pick up a pot of warm wine on the table by the fire wall.

Take a sip into the spout and drink to quench your thirst.

The empty wine jug was placed on the table, he gathered the thin quilt on his body and walked out of the dormitory, and asked the two lieutenants who had just knelt on the ground: "Who is on duty?" ”

The lieutenant's forehead was pressed against the cold ground: "Jiang Ji, Cao Shuang." ”

"Why haven't you seen Dong Zhao in the past two days?"

"Wei Weigong is sick and recuperating at home."

"Pass on Cao Shuang."

Cao Rong listened to the instructions, and couldn't help but sigh, Dong Zhao is already seventy-one years old, do the math, it is not far from the limit.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dong Zhao has been a servant for six years, often falling asleep when discussing matters and accompanying the driver, and he is already too faint to do things.

In recent years, the country has been in many difficulties, the country's fortunes are declining, and the relatives and old ministers have died of old age and war one after another, and the court and the army have not been accepted.

So much so that when it comes to the embarrassing situation where no one is available, I can only hope for these old ministers who are close to the country.

and Sima Yi's immature military reform, which was halfway through the implementation...... Now the outer six towns of Youyun are formed, and the inner ten towns are ...... It's all collapsed.

The original Chinese army and foreign military systems have long been scattered and disrupted, so that this year, the Wei military system can only be re-run in the turmoil.

In order to improve efficiency, the land of Shanxi was supplemented by the general Cao Zhen and the general Chen Qun of the town army; The remaining counties of Hebei were jointly managed by Jiang Ji, the general of Wei, and Dong Zhao, the commander of Wei.

There is not only the person in charge of the main grasp, but also the second line of insurance for containment and supervision.

Don't wake up from a sleep, the city changes the king's flag, and the mountains and rivers change color.

Cao Rong didn't wait long, and Cao Shuang walked to the palace.

Today's Cao Shuang is no longer the little fat man he was four or five years ago, he is a burly and sturdy young man.

Wearing gilded bright light armor, the armor is fully propped up, and the steps are heavy and strong when walking, like a wild boar rushing straight forward, and the momentum is brave.

Cao Shuang entered the study room on one side of the hall, and was invited to sit down after solemnly saluting.

In front of him, Cao Heng's face was fair, but there were obvious dark circles under his eyes, and Cao Rong still looked sluggish, as if he had lost something very important, and he was helpless.

Cao Shuang asked softly, "Your Highness?" ”

Since the expulsion of Cao Pi, Cao Rong recruited Cao Shuang into the court at the beginning of his reign, and gave officials to accompany him on a loose horse; Less than a month later, he was appointed as the captain of the city gate. By the end of June, the situation in the world had changed abruptly, and Cao Shuang had re-increased his official and scattered cavalry attendants, and concurrently led the captain of the city gate.

The current security and garrison of Yedu are in the hands of Cao Shuang, and the garrisons outside the city are in the hands of Jiang Ji, the general of the guard, and Dong Zhao, the commander of the guard. And the Su Guard Forbidden Army in Miyagi is in the hands of Guanglu Xun Cui Lin.

Mutual checks and balances between internal and external military power...... This kind of thing, for Cao Rong, who accompanied Emperor Wu in and out of the military camp when he was a teenager, is just an instinct, and he can achieve a dynamic balance of military power with his hands.

At this moment, he pursed his lips and endured the sorrow in his heart, and said, "Uncle Zhao, you and I also have that day. I just don't know who will take this great head? ”

The young and vigorous Cao Shuang was not timid, and squeezed out a smile: "The last general will not die, and no one can go to the front of the hall three steps." ”

Cao Rong squinted at the confident Cao Shuang, and couldn't help but laugh, his gaze moved up: "I gave him too little, and I won't be able to give much to Uncle Zhao in the future." I don't think you and I will live more than five years. ”

Cao Shuang didn't answer, and suddenly heard Cao Ei say: "Except for the throne that can't be given to Uncle Zhao, the woman in this palace, if Uncle Zhao has a favorite, he will take one of them." ”

Ordinary gold and silver, cloth, grain, food, officials...... At the moment, it's all empty, and the only one who can express her heart is a woman.

Cao Rong may have realized that he was very generous: "This is what I owe to Uncle Zhao, time is short, and I have to be happy in time." ”

Cao Shuang looked depressed when he heard this, and hung his head and said nothing.

Cao Rong inherited the romantic thinking of his father and ancestors, and said with a smile at the moment: "You and I are two years short, five years slow, and you can still enjoy the luxury of this world." It's better to have fun than to worry and hesitate. If you don't obey...... He gave Zhaobo the palace punishment. ”

"Your Highness, the last general is in danger of the capital, and he dare not be negligent."

"It's okay, doesn't Uncle Zhao understand?"

Cao Rong raised his right hand and pointed to the south: "The old ministers of the Han family are more reluctant to fight internally, and Guan Yunchang has gone against the trend and has been put on the fire to roast, as if the market is neutral and high, hanging this person to show the public." If he is not angry, he will find a way out. He has a way out, Zhang Yide also has a way out, and you and I have no way out. ”

His arms were lazily rested on the armrests of the Taishi chair, and Cao Rong spoke lazily: "Today's Han room is like a pot of salted meat, and my Wei room is like a scoop of water." The old ministers of the Han family are like cooks, adding water to taste. When the saltiness is appropriate, the scoop of water will be spilled on the ground. ”

said and squeezed out a smile: "Have fun in time and broadcast your heirs, even if you are worthy of the hardships of your father and ancestors, it will not be in vain in this life." ”

Cao Shuang nodded slightly when he listened, but he still resisted a little, unwilling to touch this taboo.

He is not abstinent and alienated from women, and there are maids in the family...... But you can stretch out your hand to the palace, how many of them are Cao Ei's in this palace?

There are more than 300 women in the palace, and only one-sixth of them are wives and concubines and maids who moved from Cao Rong's mansion.

Therefore, this is the person who is touching the emperor, although the concubines with titles have followed the emperor to Luoyang, but there are still many palace people who have been pampered and have not been titled to stay in Yedu; There is also a new batch of people added during this time.

Seeing Cao Shuang's restrained appearance, Cao Rong raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers: "Ask Uncle Zhao for a pair of sons first, and at this time next year, you must achieve it." ”

"The last general...... Commanded. ”

Cao Shuang got up to give a salute, Cao Rong had two sons, and the eldest son died at the beginning of this year; Therefore, he was angry with Mrs. Yu; turned to pamper the second son's biological mother, Mao.

Although there are still many maids, Cao Rong works almost day and night, and will work hard when he has free time during the day...... But at present, there is only one son, and the other palace people have not moved, and this matter is like a black veil covering the heads of the palace people.

Seeing that Cao Shuang was so boring and dull, Cao Rong lost interest and dismissed Cao Shuang.

Anyway, there are so many people in the palace, if you don't work hard to enjoy it now, when the capital is broken, won't it become a trophy of the enemy?

There's nothing to feel sorry for, choose a few for Cao Shuang first; When this guy gets used to it, it's not impossible to be ridiculous and play together.

Anyway...... has a clear bloodline, and it will never end well.

fooled a few to Cao Shuang, which is worthy of the face left by his mother.

That's what life looks like.

Nothing else can be counted on.
