Chapter 233: Hard Mouth
Ps: Now upload a chapter first, and there will be another chapter in the evening!
"Mother, there is nothing wrong with a daughter entering the palace, no matter what, when a daughter enters the palace, she will eventually become the queen of the world, which is something that many women in the world cannot envy, and the daughter is in the palace, beside His Majesty, she can always help her father."
"Why don't you understand, what is the Son of Heaven now, you are not as good as a queen"
"Hmph."
Cao Cao heard that Mrs. Ding almost said something outrageous, and he couldn't care about the embarrassment in his heart, so he snorted heavily, pushed open the door, and walked in.
"Father (husband)?!"
Seeing Cao Cao who came in suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of Cao Xian and Mrs. Ding, and then the next two people had different expressions, Cao Xian greeted Cao Cao coldly, and Mrs. Ding said with a somewhat unsightly face: "The concubine has seen Duke Wei." ”
"Hehe, what are you mother and daughter talking about?"
Regarding Mrs. Ding's lack of a good face towards him, Cao Cao coughed in a sneer, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, of course, whether this embarrassment was because of his actions yesterday, then only Cao Cao knows.
It is worthy of history, and the Ding family, who dared to ignore Cao Cao and go back to his hometown first, is really tough.
Cao Cao, who secretly sighed in his heart, put his eyes on Cao Xian, who was in a cold state, if he hadn't heard those words outside just now, Cao Cao still thought that Cao Xian was completely a cold-hearted person, but he didn't know that Cao Xian's coldness was only on the surface.
Cao Cao is also a person, looking at the fact that he was obviously reluctant to enter the palace, but because it was his own order, because of the so-called responsibility of the Cao family's daughter, and because he wanted to help himself, Cao Cao felt more and more guilty about Cao Xian. For his former decision, he was even more shaken.
"My son, my father has heard your conversation with your mother. My father asks you again, don't you regret entering the palace? ”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Xian with a calm face, so that neither Mrs. Ding nor Cao Xian could see what Cao Cao was thinking, but in the same way, Cao Xian also didn't want to know. It's just because she has no regrets in her heart, although she doesn't want to.
"When I go back to my father and enter the palace, my daughter is not willing."
Looking at the eyes that looked directly at him, cold as the moonlight swaying out of the crescent moon at night, there was not the slightest wavering and hesitation, Cao Cao suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Although you are willing, but my father heard that His Majesty wants to choose someone under the age of fourteen to enter the palace, and you will be fifteen next year, which does not meet the standards of His Majesty, so you say that there is no way to enter the palace." ”
Cao Xian and Mrs. Ding glanced at Cao Cao strangely. It seems that some can't react, when did Cao Cao listen to the words of the Son of Heaven so much, but then, Cao Xian and Mrs. Ding, who are not stupid people, reflected in their hearts at the same time, what Son of Heaven changed the age of the woman who entered the palace, it is better to say that he Cao Cao changed his mind and did not let his daughter enter the palace.
"Great, my son, you don't need to enter the palace."
Mrs. Ding looked at Cao Xian with satisfaction and joy, and the dissatisfaction with Cao Cao in her heart disappeared at once. After all, women are always emotional, and Mrs. Ding, as a mother, is undoubtedly more emotional.
Compared with Mrs. Ding's joyful appearance, Cao Xian's eyes gradually became misty at this time, and crystal tears were wandering in his eyes. spoke, with a hint of sobbing and uncertainty, and whispered, "Father, father"
"Okay, as the daughter of my Cao family, don't behave like this, you can't enter the palace because of Your Majesty's will. There is no way to be a father. ”
Maybe it was embarrassment in his heart, maybe it was because he was used to it, Cao Cao did not admit that he had made the mistake of that decision, but insisted on saying that it was the reason for Emperor Han Xian's will.
Cao Cao, who got up and wanted to leave, saw Cao Xian, who looked at him, although his eyes were full of tears like a cold silver moon, but his eyes were full of joy, after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward, gently wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Okay, don't cry, if Pi'er sees it, maybe he will laugh at you as a sister." ”
"Father, woo woo"
Feeling the choking sound in his arms and the clothes that gradually became wet, Cao Cao patted Cao Xian's back, and Mrs. Ding said with a smile on the side: "Okay, I'll call someone to prepare dinner immediately, and my husband will eat here today, so as to make up for the loss of the concubine yesterday." ”
Seeing Mrs. Ding, who suddenly had some naughty color on her face, Cao Cao was slightly stunned, and then pretended to smile helplessly: "That is the case, then there is Mrs. Lao." ”
Cao Cao used this dinner very happily, not only because Cao Cao straightened out some thoughts in his heart, but also because Cao Xian's heartfelt smile in the evening made Cao Cao understand one thing.
Confucianism's Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, in a certain way, is actually right, he Cao Cao can sacrifice his daughter today, then he will not sacrifice others in the future, which is a huge change and difference from Cao Cao's goal at the beginning.
After having dinner, Cao Cao ordered someone to summon Jia Xu, and after a walk for a while, he came to his study and handled some government affairs until Jia Xu arrived.
"The minister has seen the king."
"Wenhe, you're here."
Looking at Cao Cao, who got up and tied up the bamboo slips and put them in the cabinet on the side, Jia Xu followed Cao Cao's figure closely, and asked aloud at the same time: "I don't know what is the matter with the king's urgent summoning of ministers late at night?" ”
"Lone wants you to enter the palace immediately, meet the Son of Heaven, and ask him to issue an edict so that women who enter the palace next year must be under the age of fourteen, and those who are over fourteen years old will not be included in the palace."
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and under the doubt in his heart, he was about to ask what Cao Cao's move meant, but after seeing the slight coldness in Cao Cao's eyes, his heart was cold, and he couldn't care about the curiosity in his heart anymore, and arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys!" ”
"Well, there is one more thing, that is, the women who will enter the palace next year do not need too much, only one queen and two nobles, remember, these three women, especially the queen's family background, must not be too strong, so as not to cause trouble with foreign relatives again, and I think that it is better for the queen to choose a civilian woman."
Cao Cao said this, and he didn't say any more, because Cao Cao believed that Jia Xu could clearly understand what he meant, since the queens are all from commoners, so is it difficult for the nobleman's family background to surpass the queen?
Jia Xu, who fully understood the unfinished meaning of Cao Cao's words, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and bowed down: "The king sees clearly, His Majesty is the Ming Jun, and he must know the good intentions of the king." (To be continued.) )
