Chapter 20 Non-feudal marquis is not enough to reward his merits!
Xuchang, originally a famous big city in the Heluo area, has a large population, prosperous and rich, since Cao Cao brought the little emperor here, it is even more incredible!
Build palaces, gardens, as well as civil and military officials' offices, residences, money is spent like flowing water, every day there are hundreds of thousands of people busy on the construction site, and Xuchang has also undergone earth-shaking changes, now people no longer use its original name, but renamed ~~ Xudu!
The treatment of the little emperor Liu Xie is still good, the palace, gardens, maids, slaves, and all the living expenses, everything is the best, Prime Minister Cao Cao is more economical in other places, basically can save money, even his own mansion is decorated very generally, except for the palace is an exception, all expenses are approved immediately, and the amount of expenditure of the royal family has been repeatedly increased, for this reason, even those officials who have a lot of criticism about him have to admit that Prime Minister Cao Cheng is loyal to the royal family, and his heart is commendable!
But in the eyes of Princess Haiyan, it is 'her heart can be punished', she sees it very clearly, although Cao Cao is not as domineering and brutal as Dong Zhuo, but the soft knife kills people is the most powerful, and there is no blood!
This palace is actually a bird cage woven with gold wire, which makes people immersed in the wealth and glory of the township, unconsciously sinking and degenerating, and over time, the emperor inside has become a caged bird, and can no longer spread his wings and fly, and reign over the world!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On this day, Princess Haiyan was checking the little emperor's homework in the main hall, and she was very strict, which was the only thing she could do now!
"Why was yesterday's "Taigong-Liutao Art of War" only half copied?" Looking at her younger brother's homework, Princess Haiyan couldn't help frowning slightly, at first she was still writing stroke by stroke, but then it became more and more sloppy, and finally stopped writing at all!
"This ......", eleven-year-old Liu Xiezhan couldn't answer with trepidation, what he was most afraid of in the palace was this sister!
"Huaxin, you say!"
"No!" The little eunuch - Huaxin has come all the way through thick and thin, and is the most loyal, so he was sent to serve the little emperor's daily life!
"Yesterday, when His Majesty was copying the Art of War, a green-skinned parrot was suddenly sent outside the palace, which was very cute, and His Majesty was happy for a while, so it ~~"
"Go, bring that parrot!" Princess Haiyan was expressionless, but there was a faint murderous aura in her sky-blue eyes, she took out a jade Ruyi from her arms, and walked to the little emperor, "Stretch out your hand!" ”
"It hurts!" The little emperor was so frightened that he quickly hid his hands behind his back, and looked at his sister pitifully with big eyes, trying to win sympathy!
"Reach out!" The princess's tone was a little heavier!
"Sister lighter!" Although you are the son of heaven, Liu Xie still obediently stretched out his palm, and at the same time closed his eyes, not daring to look again!
As everyone knows, the more this is the case, the greater the anger in the princess's heart, if she wants to become the holy lord of Zhongxing Han, how can she be afraid of a little pain, if she can't stand it, how to deal with those arrogant generals in the court; Therefore, the attack was even more ruthless, and he beat the little emperor's palm into a pig's trotter more than a dozen times in a row, and tears came out of the pain!
"Your Highness, the green-skinned parrot is here!" As he spoke, the little eunuch Huaxin ran over with a golden wire cage in small steps.
The parrot stands on a small log, with a round head, big eyes, a long beak, a body of colorful feathers, and can also speak, it is definitely a unique killer for children, no wonder the little emperor even wasted his homework for it!
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long life without borders!"
The crisp sound of birds sounded in the hall, imitating vividly, with a hint of warped skin!
After saying these two sentences, the parrot opened its mouth, and was ready to accept the reward of mankind according to its usual custom, a few melon seeds, or a fat and green worm, but unfortunately, this time it attracted the disaster of death!
"Damn it, plaything!" As soon as she snatched the birdcage and slammed it to the ground, Princess Haiyan lifted her foot, and stepped on her hard deerskin boots, once, twice, three times......
After a few feet, the beautiful golden cage was completely flattened, and the poor green-skinned parrot inside became a meatloaf, and the blood stained the princess's boots red!
"Wow wow!" The palm of his hand was in severe pain, his beloved parrot died tragically, and seeing his sister's crazy look, the little emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and finally cried bitterly!
Seeing Liu Xie crying, Princess Haiyan's nose was sore, and she almost cried, but she reached out and twisted her thighs fiercely, and she held back the tears that were about to fall out.
After a while, when the little emperor finished crying, Princess Haiyan stepped forward, comforted her carefully, and told the truth of 'plaything losing her mind' and her responsibility as the son of the Han family again, and encouraged her younger brother to cheer up and be the holy lord of Zhongxing Han!
"Report ~ Your Majesty, Prime Minister-General-Marquis of Wuping-Cao Cao and his son Cao Ang are asking to see you outside the palace!" A waiter runs into the report in small steps!
Now Cao Cao is a person who holds two positions, that is, a general in charge of thousands of armies, and also a prime minister who deals with court affairs, although these two positions are a little worse than Dong Zhuo's self-styled 'Taishi' in glory, but they are undoubtedly more affordable and have more real power.
"Prime Minister Xuan's father and son go to the palace!" Princess Haiyan helped Liu Xie onto the dragon chair and stopped the 'flower heart' from cleaning the meat parrot, and put it there just to let them see!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Outside the main hall, on the high steps, Cao Cao was wearing a big red prime minister's robe, wearing a golden crown, a sword at his waist, and black boots under his feet, standing there respectfully, no matter how powerful he was, in terms of treating the royal family, he still did his best to treat the royal courtesy, and never took a step towards Lei Chi!
Behind him, Cao Ang was wearing the lowest-level green robe among the Han officials, although he was the son of the prime minister, but his official position was very small, just a prime minister's mansion - long history, usually responsible for taking care of the documents, looking at the beating reports in various places, but although the position is not high, the contact is the top military secrets, when it comes to real power, give a county guard of 2,000 stones will not change!
Hearing the summons, the first thing Cao Cao and his son did was to take off their boots and untie their swords, which is the rule when the courtiers face the king, unless there is a special grace to make an exception, such as Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, because the merit is too great, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, allowed him to 'go to the palace with a sword' to show his favor!
"Minister Cao Cao and his son Cao Ang, see my emperor long live, long live, long live, long live, Her Royal Highness the princess Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"
Three kneels and nine knocks, meticulous!
"No courtesy, flat body, give a seat to the Prime Minister!" The little emperor had already wiped away his tears, sat upright, and tried his best to show the dignity of the son of heaven of the Han family.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After taking his seat, Cao Cao immediately saw many interesting things, such as the tear stains on the little emperor's face, the blood stains on the boots of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the parrot that was trampled into flesh......
"Your Majesty, isn't the dragon unwell? Why does it seem to be crying, Wei Chen is not talented, and he is willing to share his worries for His Majesty! ”
"This ......, I don't matter, it's just that I accidentally stumbled and broke the birdcage just now!" The little emperor was quite brave and took the initiative to carry the black cauldron.
"Hehe, it's just a caged bird, insignificant!" Cao Cao stroked his beard, but the words he said were puns, who is the cage and who is the bird?
"Zixiu, write it down, tomorrow send someone to send a few more good-looking parrots into the palace, you can do it in person, without delay!"
Cao Ang looked at the emperor in the hall from the moment he entered the hall, no, to be precise, he was looking at Princess Haiyan beside the emperor, his eyes were so blurred, since Luoyang took over, the two of them have also taken a few face-to-faces, but it is the first time to watch at such a close distance, "Spring water is the eyebrows, the autumn wind is the bones, one more point is too much, and one point less is not enough...... Beautiful, so beautiful! ”
"Ah,...... Promise! ”
Hearing his father's order, he came back to his senses, quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and bowed his head in agreement!
"I don't know what happened when the prime minister entered the palace today?" If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Princess Haiyan doesn't believe that Cao Cao is just to send a few birds!
"Haha! Happy event - great victory! Cao Cao laughed and took out a copy of the recital from his arms, "The Governor of the West - Xiao Yi rode on the side of the Weishui River, annihilated 50,000 enemies, and greatly boosted the Tianwei of my Han family, in addition, Chang'an City has also been taken, Li Dao and Guo Yan The two thieves were beheaded, and the head has been hung above the head of Xudu City to show the public, and Weichen has come to tell His Majesty, and at the same time ask for a reward for Xiao Lang!" ”
"The recovery of the Western Capital is a great joy, and the prime minister thinks how to reward it?" Hearing the news, the little emperor on the dragon chair was also shocked, it was only a few months, Chang'an was taken down, and 50,000 Qiang riders were annihilated, this Xiao Yi's martial arts are comparable to the 'champion Hou' Huo Qu is sick, but it's a pity ~~ Such a talent ~~"
"Weichen thinks that such a great achievement, non-feudal marquis is not enough to reward his merits!" Above the main hall, Cao Cao made the final decision!
