At night, the wind in Luoyang Palace City carried a somewhat sultry atmosphere. Although the sky in Luoyang during the day was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain, in the end, at night, not a single drop fell as people wished.
The rain comes, but the sweltering heat continues...
However, the residence of Emperor Cao Wei was still cool. Cao Fang said: "This Uncle Cao Zhao really bullied me too much and did not take me, the lord of the Wei Dynasty, seriously!"
Zhen said softly: "Your Majesty, the general may think that you are too young. Even after telling you these times, you can't make any good decisions, so you make a decisive decision to avoid missing a good opportunity!"
Cao Fang said: "Missed the good opportunity? I think he didn't want to miss the opportunity to become Jiangdong's son-in-law and seek Jiangdong's foundation! But he completely forgot about the Wei Dynasty's unification of the world and ignored it!"
Zhen said: "Your Majesty, Cao Shuang now controls all the troops of the Wei Dynasty. Now he has defeated Sun Wu's army of 200,000 in Jiangbei and merged the five counties in Jiangbei into our Wei Dynasty.
His prestige in the Wei army is getting stronger day by day. If your Majesty wants to touch him, you need to think long and hard!"
Cao Fang was poured cold water on Cao Fang's head by Mrs. Zhen, and the feeling on her body changed from coolness to a chill like falling into an ice cave. Only then did Cao Fang wake up and said: "My dear concubine reminds me,
I was almost impulsive and had a head-on confrontation with Cao Shuang. To use my strength against Cao Shuang would be like throwing an egg against a stone and destroying myself."
Xiao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is in trouble in the palace. The Queen Mother Guo is not your Majesty's biological mother. Now that Cao Shuang no longer imprisons her as before, and the cost of providing for her is higher than before, I think the Queen Mother will not be the same."
I will turn against the general for you,
Even if a puppet emperor is replaced, she will still remain firmly in the position of Queen Mother, but your Majesty is different.
If you step down from the throne, where else can you go? Furthermore, given Cao Shuang’s character, he might be able to eradicate you!"
Cao Fang looked worried and said: "What my beloved concubine said is that I cannot go to the Queen Mother to ask for advice on this matter, so what do you think I should do now?"
Xiao Zhen thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although my father is just a mere Tinghou,
But we can still rely on the few acres of land given by the late emperor to raise a group of dead soldiers for His Majesty and serve as His Majesty's pioneers!"
Cao Fang smiled and said: "I am very pleased that my beloved concubine and my father-in-law have such a desire to serve the country, so I will go to the Queen Mother tomorrow to ask for a decree to confer the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households on my father-in-law.
I think the queen mother will definitely agree to such a trivial matter. As for the general, I think he won’t mind if I give more acres of land to my father-in-law, make him a free marquis or something.”
Little Zhen said happily: "I have thanked Your Majesty on behalf of my father. Our Zhen family will definitely not let down Your Majesty's great kindness. Let me serve Your Majesty well tonight and repay a little of Your Majesty's great kindness to our Zhen family!"
Cao Fang said with a bad smile: "Then my beloved, please hurry up, I can't wait any longer..."
Then the bodies of the two people in the Wei Palace and Cao Fang's bedroom were close to each other, and the cool temperature in the palace instantly increased a bit.
The sound here made the maids on duty outside the palace blush and become excited.
Early the next morning, Cao Fang went to Yongning Palace to meet her mother. Cao Fang respectfully saluted her mother Guo. Cao Fang smiled and said: "Mother, you have been well recently. Is there any shortage of funds in the palace? I will come immediately.
Then I sent someone to deliver it."
Guo said calmly: "Your Majesty has taken the trouble. There is no shortage of anything in the mother's palace. As early as mid-May, the general who was far away on the front line gave orders.
The daily need for cooling ice in Luoyang City is important to me and your Majesty, and the fresh fruits and vegetables are never cut off every day. The general seems to have changed a different person, and has completely become a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty."p>
Cao Fang wanted to blurt out that the queen mother was deceived by Cao Shuang's disguise as a loyal minister, but he knew he couldn't say it. After all, there were Cao Shuang's spies everywhere in the palace, and there were few people who were truly loyal to him and to the Wei Dynasty...<
/p>
Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "Your Majesty came here so early in the morning, couldn't you just pay my respects to me?" Mrs. Guo could tell at a glance that Cao Fang came to ask for something from her.
Although she lacks nothing now and doesn't want to worry about the future as much as before, she still enjoys the feeling of others asking for her. If one day she can no longer feel this feeling, she will definitely not feel it either.
It's very uncomfortable, very unaccustomed...
Cao Fang said with a smile: "My mother understands me. I want to ask for a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households for Concubine Zhen's father, Zhen Wen, and give my father-in-law and his family more land for their retirement. I also ask my mother's permission!"
Guo said: "Your Majesty must not be begging Wanhuhou for your father-in-law, but Concubine Zhen is begging for it. Alas, Your Majesty, I see that you are completely fascinated by this little Zhen family. Your Majesty should be more attentive."
It’s state affairs!”
Cao Fang said: "It took a lot of effort for me to beg my mother this time. Please agree to my request."
Guo said with a smile: "I promise your majesty, but your majesty must promise me not to let your father-in-law do anything detrimental to our great Wei. If he does, I will not be able to save you when it happens."
Father-in-law."
Cao Fang smiled: "Mother, please rest assured. How could I ask my father-in-law to do something detrimental to my Wei Dynasty? This Wei Dynasty belongs to me, how could I destroy my own foundation?" Cao Fang tried her best to hide it.
Don't let your desire to get rid of the national traitor Cao Shuang be exposed in front of your mother.
Guo said: "That's good. Someone will come and draft an imperial edict in my name, making Zhen Wen the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
At the same time, I sent someone to send this edict to Jingzhou quickly. I think the general will happily agree to this small matter in order to make His Majesty happy."
After the edict was drafted and Mrs. Guo read it in person, she took out the Queen Mother's seal and lightly stamped it.
Cao Fang said: "I thanked my mother on behalf of Concubine Zhen. After that, I still have some important government affairs to attend to, so I can't accompany my mother to have breakfast." After Cao Fang said this, he bowed and excused himself, and returned to Concubine Zhen's palace...
Mrs. Guo looked at the emperor's honor guard leaving the palace, shook her head and sighed: "Oh, this child still doesn't want to truly recognize me as his mother, and has something hidden in his heart.
He doesn’t want to talk to me, but wants to tell that vixen little Zhen that I am not his biological mother.
I hope your Majesty will not believe the rumors circulating in Luoyang City. If not, it will be your Majesty who will be hurt in the end!"
Cao Fang returned to Concubine Zhen's palace, happily hugged Concubine Zhen's delicate body and turned around several times, saying: "My dear concubine, my mother has agreed to this. From today on, your father is also a Marquis of Wanhu!"
Xiao Zhen said happily: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
