Seeing that Cao Ling's mood had calmed down a little, Liu Chan didn't want to continue the discussion in depth. After all, it was better not to involve women in the war, so he deliberately smiled and said to his son Liu Rui: "Rui'er... do you want to... Meet uncle?"
Liu Rui saw that his mother was no longer crying, and he had not seen his father for a long time. At this time, his father suddenly mentioned the word uncle. He was a little confused at first, but he nodded instinctively and said: "I think!"
"My Rui'er wants to see her uncle."
"Haha!"
"Let's go, let's go see my uncle."
Liu Chan immediately hugged little Liu Rui and started to walk out. However, after taking two steps, he found Cao Ling still sitting there. He turned around and smiled and said: "Go and meet him. You two brothers and sisters are also there." I haven’t seen you for many years.”
It has been five or six years since she married in Chang'an, and her son is now three years old. Cao Ling has not seen her brother for a long time.
Just——
She never thought that their brother and sister would meet in such a way.
"Your Majesty...concubine..." Cao Ling hesitated before speaking. Liu Chan naturally knew what she was worried about, so he turned around and took her hand and said, "Although your brother and I are rivals, we are also relatives."
"Consider today a visit to relatives and ignore state affairs for the time being."
Liu Chan said this, so Cao Ling had no choice but to follow Liu Chan and walk towards a palace in the southwest corner of Weiyang Palace.
......
An ordinary palace, with some eunuchs and maids walking around from time to time in the courtyard.
In the back room, a man in his thirties with a gloomy face was leaning on a wooden chair, deep in thought.
‘I... feel ashamed of my ancestors.’
‘I...’
He is Cao Rui, who is temporarily under house arrest in this ordinary palace located in Weiyang Palace. He is actually not very unfamiliar with Weiyang Palace.
Many years ago, when he was still a prince, he had the honor to visit Chang'an.
It’s just that at that time, Weiyang Palace, after decades of war,
This place is already a bit dilapidated.
Now I come to this palace again.
He saw clearly.
The ruins of the past,
Now it has been replaced by prosperity.
Now this place has become the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty.
Although he is already the emperor of Wei, he is not the owner of this palace.
But he is the prisoner of the owner of this palace.
"Your Majesty is here!"
While Cao Rui was deep in thought, a loud shout suddenly came from outside.
This time His Majesty arrived,
What an irony for him,
Because he himself was also an emperor,
In the past, when he appeared somewhere, someone would shout like this from the front.
Just——
The sound I hear now...is no longer directed at him,
But the opponent he always wanted to defeat.
Cao Rui didn't move, still leaning on the wooden chair minding his own business.
After a while, a familiar figure entered the house.
There are three people in total,
A man and a woman,
A child.
"Brother Royal!"
A familiar voice reached my eardrums,
It’s just that the voice seems very strange,
Because of the voice I heard in the past, she was so smart and clear.
But now,
There is obviously a trace of sadness in this call.
"Brother Royal!"
Cao Ling hurriedly came closer, feeling slightly blessed,
She said in a low voice: "My sister has met the emperor brother."
"Ling..." Cao Rui was about to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Chan's words.
I just heard Liu Chan say with a smile: "Rui'er... hurry up and give your uncle a gift."
After saying that, he put Liu Rui down, and Liu Rui saw the slightly haggard Cao Rui.
He seems a little timid, but his little feet can't move.
Relying closely on his father Liu Chan.
"Rui'er is not afraid...this is uncle."
Liu Chan squatted down slightly and said to Liu Rui with a kind face: "Quickly salute your uncle."
After listening to Liu Chan's words, although Liu Rui was a little timid, he still took two steps forward and came to Cao Rui, then bowed slightly and whispered: "Rui'er meets uncle!"
Uncle...Ruier...
Cao Rui looked confused. If he was talking about his uncle, the child born to his sister Cao Ling should naturally be called uncle.
Just——
Ruier?
Liu Chan discovered Cao Rui's doubts and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong, you probably don't know yet, but this is my and Ling'er's child..." Yuan Zhong is Cao Rui's nickname, and Liu Chan deliberately called him by his nickname. I also want to draw closer to each other.
As Liu Chan spoke, he pulled up a wooden chair and sat down opposite Cao Rui. He said, "I have to thank Yuan Zhong. If Yuan Zhong hadn't been willing to live in peace with me, a big man, and specially married Ling'er to me. .." Liu Chan said, seeming a little emotional, and said: "Three years ago, Ling'er gave birth to the emperor's son. In order to thank Yuan Zhong, I named the emperor's son Rui. I also hope that when Rui'er grows up, I can remember my uncle."
That’s it——
Just now Cao Rui was wondering how Liu Chan's son could also be named Rui.
Is this guy deliberately trying to take advantage of me?
I heard Liu Chan say this at this time, and his tone was very sincere.
Also, the sister on the side also nodded slightly.
"Uncle!"
"What's wrong with you?"
While Cao Rui was stunned, Liu Rui asked in a sweet voice.
On the battlefield,
Although Cao Rui cannot be called the God of War general, he can be regarded as a warrior who is not afraid of life and death.
Otherwise, he would not dare to lead the expedition himself.
But when he saw Liu Rui...he had an indescribable feeling.
Liu Rui is his nephew.
Liu Rui is also the son of his opponent.
This——
Fortune plays tricks on people.
"Be good!"
Cao Rui looked at the innocent Liu Rui, but instinctively reached out and gently touched the top of Liu Rui's head, very kindly.
"I have made my brother feel wronged."
Cao Ling on the side said with concern.
But Cao Rui did wave his hand and sighed: "No... Brother Huang is not wronged. It is Brother Huang who is incompetent and unworthy of his ancestors."
"Yuan Zhong is serious!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Actually, I have always admired Yuan Zhong. Under Yuan Zhong's rule, the Wei Dynasty has become increasingly prosperous." After saying that, he deliberately sighed and said: "In these years, I I don’t dare to neglect for a day, for fear that at any time, Yuan Zhong will lead his army to kill me."
"Haha——" Cao Rui sneered: "But now I am your prisoner."
Liu Chan actually did not compliment Cao Rui, although in the competition between the two over the years, Cao Rui has always been the loser.
But——
Liu Chan naturally knows the reason for his victory.
‘If I am not a time traveler...how can I defeat you?’
Because Liu Chan is a time traveler, he is naturally very familiar with Cao Rui in history. Although he is not as good as his grandfather Cao Cao, he is still a promising king.
If he had not carried out large-scale construction and built palaces in his later years, perhaps the evaluation of him by later generations would have continued to improve.
During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Cao Rui personally led his troops to Chang'an. In the end, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, who was expected to win, could only return in defeat.
In terms of appointing Sima Yi, he also had some tricks of his own.
At least Sima Yi didn't dare to make mistakes easily.
There are also various reforms in Wei, etc. In fact, he has really made a lot of contributions to Wei during his years of reign.
Now——
It can only be said that he was unlucky. The Liu Chan he met was not the Liu Adou in history, but a soul more than a thousand years later. Moreover, Liu Chan had some understanding of his behavior.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle.
But——
It is also because of Liu Chan's appearance that Cao Rui's actions in this life are better than those of Cao Rui in history. At least until now, he has not carried out any large-scale construction projects.
There's no way, he doesn't have time.
Because he is always thinking about Liu Chan in Guanzhong.
