Ma Hong stayed in Luoyang.

As a general with handicapped legs, he did not encounter ridicule from the soldiers when he came to the barracks. On the contrary, they all looked in awe of Ma Hong.

Because they all know that those disabled legs are the glory that will accompany them throughout their lives.

Ma Hong also spent his happiest time here.

In these five years, Zhao Changqing Guang had many more offspring.

The queen's son, the prince, Zhao Hongqing, has just turned four years old this year.

Imperial concubine Miyue's twins, Zhao Hongji and Zhao Weixi, are five years old.

The daughter of Concubine Shu and Wang Zhaojun, Zhao Zhixia, is three years old this year.

Zhao Hongyuan, the son of Concubine De Zhen Mi, has just turned two years old this year.

After coming to this world for so many years and having so many of his own flesh and blood, Zhao Changqing was still a little uncomfortable for a while, because everything living in a different world was just like a dream.

At the end of July, Zhao Changqing married Cao Jianjia and named her a virtuous concubine.

In early August, Zhao Changqing, Cao Jianjia, and Cao Cao were sitting together to enjoy lunch in the Imperial Garden.

In this life, Cao Cao was Cao Jianjia's younger brother and Cao Shen's eldest son.

For Cao Jianjia, being able to marry Zhao Changqing in this life is like a dream.

Because for a woman, being able to marry the hero of her dreams is the most longing and longing for her.

And Zhao Changqing is the hero in Cao Jianjia's heart.

It is estimated that no one will understand Zhao Changqing's bitterness better than Cao Jianjia.

Back then, under the high wall, the eldest prince, who possessed unique skills, had to hide his own weakness in order to survive. It was really not easy.

For a while, I thought he was just an ignorant and ignorant boy.

It turns out that if you don’t understand other people’s sufferings in life, you can’t judge others arbitrarily.

But fortunately, in the end, he worked hard to live up to his destiny, and His Majesty, who was still the eldest prince at the time, found an opportunity to rise up. From then on, he was like a fish leaping through the dragon's gate, no longer restrained by any restraint, and turned into a true man who could truly fly through the nine heavens.

dragon.

What a legendary history this has.

Your Majesty, it's not easy, and you are worthy of being a hero.

He was the hero of Wei State, and now, he is even more his own hero.

Once a girl decides who she likes, she will be gentle to them to the end.

For example, at this moment, in front of his own brother, Cao Jianjia, who used to be very goddess-like, would act like a little bird to Zhao Changqing.

This lunch was said to be a family banquet, but Cao Cao was still a little uncomfortable with it.

After Zhao Changqing drank a cup of tea, he held Cao Jianjia's jade hand and said to Cao Cao: "There is no emperor today, only your sister and your brother-in-law. There is no need to be restrained."

It is true to say so, but Cao Cao did not dare to do anything too outrageous and out of bounds.

After all, he is the emperor and the bright moon in the sky, and he is, at best, just one of the countless fireflies that illuminate the Wei Kingdom.

He said respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I dare not..."

Cao Cao has inherited the title of Lord Protector, so he can call himself a minister to the emperor.

Zhao Changqing shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Cao Jianjia on the side also said: "Your Majesty, after all, there are differences between monarchs and ministers, so it's better to be more careful."

What else could he say after hearing the Concubine Xian, whom he had been so disgusted with recently, say this?

I could only sigh in my heart: "No wonder all the emperors in ancient times were lonely."

After a pause, Zhao Changqing spoke to Cao Cao again: "After much thought, I think I still need to ask you, do you want to join the army or join politics?"

Cao Cao said decisively: "Your Majesty just arranges it. I will go wherever your Majesty tells me to go."

Zhao Changqing nodded, thought for a while, and said: "If you are determined to join the army, you can join Bai Qi's command. I will arrange for you to learn the art of war by his side. Besides Bai Qi, there are many uncles of yours there.

If your seniors are here, you can get a lot of care in the barracks, and as long as you participate in a few battles, you can quickly accumulate military merit.

As for entering politics, I can only arrange for you to be Prime Minister Zhuge's assistant first, and then find an opportunity to transfer you to a local area to train for a few years. It won't take long before I transfer you back to the capital. At that time, you can start

At the very least, it must be a third-grade one.”

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Learning from literature and martial arts is all about loyalty to the country. I'd better listen to your majesty."

After hearing this, Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "You are good at talking, so let's go to Bai Qi's tent first to listen to the affairs. Nowadays, the disputes between countries are the era when military generals shine. If we are concerned about internal affairs,

I think no one can reach the heights of Prime Minister Zhuge in a short period of time."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Everything will be at your Majesty's command."

Zhao Changqing suddenly remembered something and sighed: "When your father was alive, I never worried about military and political affairs, because in the army, only your father has the highest seniority. As long as he is here, he will

Intimidating the armies all over the world, I can sit back and relax safely, but in recent years, I have increasingly felt that I am unable to do what I want.

After the death of Duke Cao, many things needed to be handled by me personally. It was extremely troublesome and there was no other way. Xiao Yuming, Chen Qingzhi and others were far away in Jin State, and Zhao Yun began to delegate power to others. There are really many generals available around me.

There is not much left, so I have vigorously supported Bai Qi to rise to power over the years. I believe that if you work under Bai Qi's command, you will definitely accomplish something.

Back then, whenever I was hesitant about something, I would always ask your father's opinion. I couldn't guarantee anything else. The only thing I could do was that once there were differences or position issues in government affairs, your father would always be there to help.

Stand on my side without hesitation at the first opportunity, so that I can have the confidence to carry out bold and decisive work every time."

Except for Cao Shen, no one of the big shots in Wei's military circles dared to say that he was number one.

Among them are Chen Qingzhi, Xiao Yuming and others.

Cao Cao also sighed and said: "My father has actually lived a unhappy life for most of his life. I often heard my father say that the most proud time in my father's life was when I followed His Majesty to fight against the Chu army."

Zhao Changqing sighed, and then said: "No matter what, your father has achieved great success in his life. Before he died, he planned to defeat the Chu army. With this strategy and courage, if Cao Gong is regarded as the second best in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty,

No one dares to claim first place.

You are still very young now. After you enter the official career, you need to learn more. There are many talented people in the court, such as Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, etc. They can be said to be the best among people. When you encounter something, you can go to them for advice. I already know

I know them. Do you know why these people are willing to follow me?"

Cao Cao tentatively replied: "Is it because they feel that only Your Majesty can make Wei strong?"

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "No, they follow me because only I can let them realize their ambitions and know people well. This is actually the most profound knowledge in the world."

Cao Cao stood up, bowed and said, "I benefit from this."

A few more months passed.

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived.

Zhao Changqing stood in the nameless barren mountains outside Luoyang City, looking thoughtfully at the people and officers and soldiers who were building the Great Wall fortifications.

Zhuge Liang was standing behind Zhao Changqing, silent and without saying a word.

They were all enjoying this long-lost silence.

After being the emperor for so many years, Zhao Changqing has never regretted it, but he feels tired more and more often.

After a while, he said to Zhuge Liang: "I have always wanted to ask, what is the purpose of holding a feather fan when you have nothing to do?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "It's because Wei Chen holds an important position and must always keep his head clear."

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "I think you are moaning for no reason."

Zhuge Liang wondered: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Zhao Changqing pretended to be profound and said: "Pretend to be cool."

Zhuge Liang still had doubts in his heart.

However, the next moment Zhao Changqing had already changed the topic. He said: "The construction of the canal will be completed soon, right?"

Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "I'll be back soon, Your Majesty. It will probably take a year and a half."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "After the construction of the canal is completed, we will continue to expand the Great Wall in this area. I will build the Great Wall all the way to Jin State in one go, and even in the future, to every corner of the world."

Zhuge Liang was horrified and said: "Your Majesty, is this inappropriate? After all, building the Great Wall requires more people and money than building a canal. Our Wei State's current foreign strategy is already tense enough. If we are building such a long Great Wall

...I’m afraid it will cause problems in national affairs.”

Zhao Changqing said extremely domineeringly: "If you need money, go to Shen Wansan. If you need people, go to the common people. If you work for the country, the treatment must be good. What's more, if there are problems, it is also a matter for you ministers to worry about. What does it have to do with me? I just want to

I'm just giving you an order."

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Then I will obey the order first!"

This sentence amused Zhao Changqing. He turned around, pointed at Zhuge Liang, shook his head and smiled: "You, you..."

At this moment, Zhao Changqing suddenly thought of something and continued to say to him: "The 300,000 troops personally recruited by King Changlin have already been staffed with Jinyiwei people, right?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Back to your majesty, everything is in accordance with your majesty's wishes. Jin Yiwei is in the dark and Dongchang is in the light. King Changlin will definitely be under his supervision."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "That's good. Although he and I are brothers, our surname is Zhao after all."

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if King Changlin is stupid, he should not go down that path."

Zhao Changqing took a deep breath and said: "I hope so. By the way, after I go back, I will draft a decree to Chen Qingzhi and the plan to depose the Jin Emperor can begin."

After saying this, Zhao Changqing left here.

Zhuge Liang followed closely and asked: "Your Majesty, what if the people of Jin country riot after the emperor is deposed?"

Zhao Changqing put his hands behind his back and frowned: "Why do you have to ask me such a simple question now? If someone takes this opportunity to riot, enlighten them first. If enlightenment fails, send troops to suppress them in time."

After saying that, he continued walking forward.

After walking for a few steps, he suddenly stopped and told Zhuge Liang behind him: "If suppression doesn't work, then kill as many as you can, even if it's one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, kill them all. This debt,

I'll carry it."
