Empress Dowager Guo still has a certain understanding of Cao Fang. After all, she has grown up watching him. Although she does not particularly like this emperor, she usually pays attention to him.
Cao Fang smiled and said: "Nothing else, I just came to visit my mother."
"Okay!" Empress Dowager Guo sneered and said, "As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. If the emperor has anything to say, just say it."
"Now the war is imminent, and the Wei family is in danger;" Empress Dowager Guo sighed, and then looked at Cao Fang: "If the emperor still needs the Aijia, for the sake of the Wei family, the Aijia will definitely help."
Although Queen Mother Guo lives in the inner palace, she is also very concerned about national affairs. After all, she is the Queen Mother of Wei.
Now the emperor's late night visit must be for national affairs.
Although she doesn't like Cao Fang very much, she doesn't want the Wei Dynasty to fall because of this.
It’s just that Han is strong but weak, what can she, a woman, do?
"Alas!" Cao Fang sighed, bowed to the Queen Mother Guo, and said: "Nothing can be hidden from the Queen Mother... I am here today. I really have something to ask for. I also hope that the Queen Mother will help me to protect my health.
Wei Jiangshan is stable."
Queen Mother Guo was heartbroken when she heard this. She really guessed it right.
If there was no big deal, Cao Fang would definitely not come to see her.
But, what can she do?
To ensure the stability of the Wei Kingdom?
Before Queen Mother Guo could speak, Cao Fang asked with some anticipation: "Mother, may I be able to get in touch with my aunt?"
"Huh???" Queen Mother Guo was stunned when she heard this, and asked with some confusion: "Does the emperor want to negotiate peace with the Han Dynasty?"
Of course the Empress Dowager Guo knew who the aunt Cao Fang was talking about was.
Cao Ling, Princess of Dongxiang of the Great Wei Dynasty, is now the Imperial Concubine of the Han Dynasty.
However, Cao Fang sighed and waved his hand: "No, the Emperor of Han will not negotiate peace with the Wei Dynasty this time. He wants to destroy the Wei Dynasty and unify the world."
The peace talks between Han and Wei happened many years ago.
Now, there are only wars between Han and Wei, and there is no possibility of peace talks.
"Then why does the emperor want to contact your aunt?" Queen Mother Guo asked.
Cao Fang's face darkened, and she lowered her voice and said: "Right now, our Wei Dynasty is not as good as the Han Dynasty in terms of national strength and military. If we confront the Han army head-on, our Wei Dynasty will surely perish."
Empress Dowager Guo also frowned slightly when she heard this. What Cao Fang said was true. Originally, among the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu, the Han Dynasty was the strongest. Now that the Han Dynasty has conquered Soochow, its strength is even greater than when the three kingdoms stood together.
Strong.
"What does the emperor want to do?"
"Queen Mother!" Cao Fang smiled faintly and said: "We, the Wei Dynasty, are currently unable to compete with the Han army, and we urgently need time to boost our national strength." After speaking, he paused, then raised his brows and said, "If you want to end this war,
, the only choice is to kill the Han Emperor!"
When Queen Mother Guo heard this, she was not surprised. Instead, she was somewhat impressed by the emperor in front of her. The war was about to begin, but he still had such thoughts.
This is definitely not a strategy that Cao Fang could have had before.
The emperor has changed.
The emperor has changed.
Queen Mother Guo suddenly and inexplicably liked the emperor in front of her, because she didn't like this child before because he was too cowardly. As a king of a country, cowardice is not a good quality.
However, Empress Dowager Guo suddenly sighed and said: "It's difficult, your aunt went west to Chang'an to get married, originally to give the Wei Dynasty a chance to recuperate and recuperate, and also to control the trends in Chang'an."
"Alas!"
Queen Mother Guo sighed again and then said: "At that time, if you wanted to contact your aunt, you could still contact Qingmei."
"Qingmei?" Cao Fang was stunned for a moment.
Empress Dowager Guo nodded slightly: "Qingmei is your aunt's personal maid. Before leaving, the late emperor had an explanation with her and secretly maintained contact with the spies sent to Chang'an."
Cao Fang paused.
He had heard of Qingmei, but as early as the third year of Jingchu (AD 239), she was executed by Liu Adou as a spy due to the smallpox epidemic.
Others may not know about the smallpox epidemic that occurred in Chang'an, but Cao Fang knew something about it.
This itself was deliberately arranged by Wei Dynasty.
At the beginning of the third year of Jingchu in the Wei Dynasty (AD 239), a smallpox epidemic occurred in a mountain village in Shanyang County. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the imperial court immediately closed the mountain village. No one was allowed to enter or exit at will, and no one was allowed to leak smallpox to prevent the spread of the disease.
Causing panic.
Because of timely control, the smallpox epidemic in Shanyang County did not spread.
In order not to cause panic in the world, the late emperor ordered that no one should mention the smallpox incident in Shanyang County. In the end, all the people in the village died.
It was at this time that a sorcerer advised the late emperor to spread the smallpox epidemic to Chang'an. In this way, the Wei Dynasty could suffer a heavy blow to the Han Dynasty without having to send a single soldier.
After repeated weighings, the late emperor adopted the advice of the sorcerer, but he only allowed the smallpox epidemic to be introduced into Weiyang Palace. This would not only prevent the epidemic from spreading, but also directly shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Because Weiyang Palace is the royal palace of the Han Dynasty and the place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty resides.
I believe that once the smallpox epidemic is discovered in Weiyang Palace, it will be immediately quarantined and controlled. In this way, the epidemic will be controlled within Weiyang Palace and will not spread outside Weiyang Palace.
The late emperor's purpose was very simple, which was to make Han Emperor Liu Adou contract smallpox, and it would be best if Liu Adou died as a result.
Once Liu Adou died, it would definitely shock the Han court.
Because at that time, although Liu Adou already had four sons, even his eldest sons Liu Tan and Liu Chen were only seven years old at that time.
If Liu Chan dies, a young ruler will inevitably ascend the throne, and the political situation in the Han Dynasty will be unstable, which may delay the development of the Han Dynasty.
So the late emperor instructed Chang'an's spies to bribe Chen Yuan, who worked in the imperial kitchen of Weiyang Palace, with a large sum of money, promising that as long as he was willing to introduce the virus to Weiyang Palace, the Wei Dynasty would give his family a generous salary as a high-ranking official in the Weiyang Palace.
One person's death can bring glory to the entire family.
Moreover, not all people who contract smallpox die.
Maybe he won’t die in the end.
Chen Yuan agreed and soon moved his entire family to Luoyang. The late emperor named Chen Yuan's father, Chen Sen, the Marquis of Yangcheng.
Common people were promoted to marquises, and the entire family was under the control of Emperor Wei, so Chen Yuan did not dare to act contrary to his plan.
The later result was as expected by the late emperor. Chen Yuan returned to Weiyang Palace after contracting smallpox and infected the queen Zhang Yuan of the Han Dynasty with smallpox. Later, Han Emperor Liu Adou was also infected.
Soon the entire Weiyang Palace was also quarantined, but to the late emperor's surprise, smallpox epidemic soon broke out in Chang'an. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang and others controlled it properly, and later used vaccination technology, the Han Dynasty was able to control the smallpox epidemic.
p>
However, this time smallpox did not shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty royal family, except for Queen Zhang Yuan who died of illness, other members of the royal family, including Han Emperor Liu Chan who was infected with smallpox, were not affected.
Later, Liu Chan conducted a thorough investigation of Weiyang Palace, and Qingmei, who secretly had close contact with Chen Yuan, was beaten to death on the spot by Liu Chan.
"After Qingmei died..." Queen Mother Guo sighed and said, "It will be very difficult to contact your aunt again."
"That incident..." Cao Fang suddenly asked: "Didn't my aunt know about it?"
Queen Mother Guo nodded: "In order not to injure your aunt, the late emperor did not know about this matter until now."
Cao Fang was suddenly stunned. He thought that his aunt was the concubine of Han Emperor Liu Chan. Maybe he could contact his aunt and find a way to kill Liu Chan.
Seeing Emperor Cao Fang frowning, Empress Dowager Guo smiled and said: "If the emperor wants to assassinate Liu Adou, he does not necessarily have to go through your aunt. Besides, your aunt has now given birth to a prince for the Han Emperor. If she knows that you want to assassinate Liu Chan;"
As she spoke, she shook her head and said: "With her character, Ai Jia feels that not only will she not help you, but she will actually destroy your plan!"
Cao Fang was stunned when she heard this and asked: "Does the mother have any other methods?"
