Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 7 The Southern Expedition Failed, and the Prime Minister Returned to the City

Chapter 7 The Southern Expedition Failed, and the Prime Minister Returned to the City

Lu Bu's rebellion was successfully put down by Cao Chong, and the rest of the matter could be handled by Xiahouba and Xiahoushang, while Cao Chong returned to the prime minister's mansion leisurely.

The legendary prime minister's mansion is not much smaller than the imperial palace, with its rich gates, copper pillars, high-walled gardens, nine entrances and nine exits, and thousands of servants and guards, like a deep palace compound.

This was Cao Chong's first observation of his home after his rebirth.

Not bad, the young master likes this kind of residence, and there is also a beautiful little lady.

"My lady, your husband is back." After Cao Chong returned to the prime minister's mansion, he went directly to Diao Chan's room without even greeting his own mother.

"Husband, where have you been this morning?" Diao Chan was too tired from working hard last night, and when she woke up, Cao Chong was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, your husband has gone to make contributions, and you can watch him receive rewards in a while." Cao Chong smiled.

Rebellion is a major event, and if Lu Bu put down the rebellion by himself, if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty didn't say anything, it would be unreasonable.

And this expression can't be small, it must be a great reward, so that it can be in line with his inexorable merit.

Sure enough, not long after Cao Chong finished his words, the servant of the Huangmen came with an imperial decree. If Cao Chong hadn't acted in time to put down the rebellion this time, the court would not be guaranteed, nor would the emperor be guaranteed.

For this reason, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty drew up the imperial decree at the first time, and asked the servant of Huangmen to come and read out the reward.

Cao Chong didn't listen carefully when the servant of Huangmen announced the imperial decree, because there was a lot of literary nonsense in front of it. Cao Chong, who had been influenced by vernacular since he was a child, was very bored with elegant classical Chinese.

Cao Chong only heard the general content of the imperial decree, and because of his great contributions, he specially conferred himself the title of Yilang.

Let me go, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, you are too shabby, but you have helped you quell the rebellion, so you make yourself Yilang, which is too petty.

Why are you as stingy as the system!

The so-called Yilang is a vain job, with only an official position but no real power, mainly to help the emperor give advice and come up with ideas, to put it bluntly, he is the emperor's adviser.

This kind of official position is not what Cao Chong wants.

But the imperial decree has already been issued, Cao Chong can't say that I don't accept it, dare to reject the imperial decree, it is no different from rebellion.

Cao Chong, who was aggrieved, could only accept the reward and shouted thank you, His Majesty.

"Young master, you have made great contributions. Today's reward is just an appetizer. When the prime minister returns, there must be another reward." The servant of the Huangmen helped Cao Chong up, and he tried it on Cao Chong overtly and secretly.

As we all know, the current Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is only the emperor in name, and the real power of the court is in the hands of Cao Cao.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty could reward Cao Chong himself, and there was only such a vain position as Yilang. After all, the official positions with real power were firmly in the hands of Cao Cao, and Cao Chong was Cao Cao's son.

Cao Cao's return from the Southern Expedition will inevitably benefit Cao Chong.

Cao Chong also understood the reason, but he didn't expect that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was so poor that he could only reward vain jobs.

"This emperor is really aggrieved, he is not as chic as a young master like me." Cao Chong was in his heart, despising Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Sad, pitiful, lamentable!
Cao Chong originally wanted to show off in front of Diao Chan, but now it seems that there is nothing to show off, just a mere Yilang, not worth as much as his status.

"Brother Chong, congratulations. You have made a great contribution just after recovering from a serious illness. Brother Wei is really happy for you."

At the gate of the other courtyard, a handsome and handsome man walked in like a leisurely stroll. This man was wearing a black Confucian shirt with a saber hanging on his waist.

With a smile on his face all the time, the man walked up to Cao Chong, and lightly patted Cao Chong on the shoulder, "Good boy, you are worthy of being a child prodigy. Give me the face of Cao's parents."

This man is Cao Chong's elder brother, so is Cao Pi!

Behind Cao Pi, a woman followed.

This woman has ink-like hair and a jade-like face, and every time she takes a step, the white calves under the skirt will be exposed, which is very attractive.

This woman is none other than Zhen Ji, a famous beauty in the Three Kingdoms.

I saw that Zhen Ji was holding a wooden lunch box in her hand, but she didn't know what was in it.

Cao Chong looked at Cao Pi's smiling face and always felt that the other party was full of hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

How Cao Chong died in history has always been a mystery.

Even Cao Chong at this moment doesn't know how the original owner died, but he always feels that he has something to do with Cao Pi.

Because before the original owner died, the last person he saw was Cao Pi.

Coupled with Cao Cao's love for the original owner, Cao Pi, as the eldest son, must be worried about the heir.

But everything is speculation, there is no real evidence, and Cao Chong can't say anything.

He could only greet him with a smile: "Brother was joking, but younger brother is just lucky."

Cao Pi continued: "You are just recovering from a serious illness, so you must not act indiscriminately. You are the most beloved son of your father. If something happens to you, your father will be so distressed when he comes back."

"Brother asked your sister-in-law to boil some tonic for you, you drink it quickly, and then rest well with your siblings, remember not to wander around."

After finishing the words, Cao Pi sized Diao Chan out of the corner of his eye, and his Adam's apple moved involuntarily.

"Thank you brother, thank you sister-in-law." Cao Chong had noticed Cao Pi's subtle movements a long time ago. While speaking, Cao Chong stood in front of Diao Chan, covering Cao Pi's sight.

I feel more and more in my heart that Cao Pi is a weasel giving New Year greetings to chickens, and he has no good intentions.

"Come on, this medicine is still hot, drink it while it's hot." Zhen Ji brought out the medicine from the wooden lunch box.

The soup is so thick that you can't see the bottom of the bowl at all. If there is anything in it, you can't see it at all.

However, Cao Chong still trusted Zhen Ji.

Although Zhen Ji is Cao Pi's regular wife, the relationship between the two is actually not good. Back then, Cao Pi was greedy for Zhen Ji's beauty and forcibly married Zhen Ji.

As a result, after Cao Pi got tired of aesthetics, he no longer favored Zhen Ji, and the relationship between the two became more and more distant. On the contrary, Zhen Ji has always been kind to Cao Chong.

"Thank you sister-in-law." Cao Chong finally drank the decoction.

Cao Pi was overjoyed, "Hahaha, Brother Chong, you have just recovered from a serious illness. Remember to rest a lot. I still have things to deal with. I need to take a step first. Let your sister-in-law stay and talk to you and your siblings."

Before Cao Chong could reply, Cao Pi turned around and left, looking a little anxious.

Cao Chong was puzzled, so he didn't ask. On the other hand, Zhen Ji's forehead was slightly wrinkled, as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.

Could it be that the decoction is poisonous?

Cao Chong began to feel uneasy. He had just been reborn, so he might die again.

"Brother, why don't you drink? You continue to drink." Zhen Ji had a kind of expectation.

This kind of anticipation does not look like cursing people to death, but a kind of expectation that you will find something.

"Husband, this is the wish of my brother and sister-in-law, you can finish the soup." Diao Chan followed.

Is my sister-in-law hinting at me?
Cao Chong hesitated for a while, since he already drank it anyway, even if it is poisonous, he is doomed to death, so let's drink it in one gulp.

With a thud, Cao Chong drank all the soup.

It turned out that there was a foreign object in his mouth, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a note: The southern expedition failed, and the prime minister returned to the city.
