Although he had never been to other people's homes, he had also heard that there were so many servants in high-ranking families, even the frugal Liu Ye's family had dozens of servants and several concubines.

Chang Diao was an important general under Cao Ren many years ago, and he received a lot of rewards in the army. In recent years, the youngest official is also a prefect, so he can't afford to hire servants, right?

Chang Diao let out a long sigh, recalling Xu Shu's expression, and sighed:

"The country's affairs are difficult, and I often can't fight for thieves, so how can I live in extravagance?

My salary is enough to support my wife and children, and the rest will naturally be rewarded to the warriors in the army, but there is no shortage of money. "

Chang Diao really wasn't lying that he wasn't short of money.

When he was driven out of Luoyang before, there were three hundred carriages, large and small, and after he arrived in Xuzhou, he was crazily amassing money.

But he was ready to retreat a long time ago. If he hadn't been brought back to Luoyang to become a captain this time, he wouldn't have wanted to get his wife and children back.

As for servants...

Chang Diao has a lot of secrets. His loyal servants are all in Dongguan to help him sort out his belongings, ready to escape at any time. The mansion in Luoyang is not big, and he has hired many servants.

It's just that a few ghosts came here just now, and Chang Diao sent all his loyal servants to watch over them, so the house seemed empty.

According to the rules of the Great Wei Dynasty, it is already a great honor for a courtier who is seriously ill to send a servant to visit him.

It is a bit unruly for the emperor to come to the door in person.

But if he hadn't come to the door in person, Cao Rui would not have believed that there is such an upright person in Wei who is not greedy for money or afraid of death.

This made him feel more guilty towards Chang Diao in his heart.

Chang Diao's wife rushed to meet the emperor with a pair of children, she secretly gave Chang Diao a wink, and told Chang Diao that the ghosts just now had settled down.

Only then did Chang Diao heave a sigh of relief, and invited the emperor into his study, preparing to silence the family servants as soon as today's affairs were over.

But as soon as he entered the study, Chang Diao suddenly became nervous again.

There are all kinds of paper books and bamboo slips in his study as a facade, most of which he has never read at a glance. Recently, he has become fascinated by the legendary novel "Journey to the East" written by the legendary Southern barbarian Dong Dana and corrected by Liu Chan. , watching with gusto.

Chang Diao originally thought that Cao Rui would be dissatisfied with reading the books published in Jingzhou, but Cao Rui picked up the scroll and nodded slowly:

"I didn't expect the Taiwei to like this book too.

The monsters and goblins in this book are bizarre to say the least, but you can read it casually when you have nothing to do, and it has a bit of flavor.

I heard that it was co-edited by Shu Prince Liu Chan and several barbarians. This story is very bizarre.

Hey, the Taiwei just saw Kang Seng rescue the stone monkey. The passage where the stone monkey beats the Skeleton King three times is amazing. The Skeleton King can be resurrected after death, and he turns into a humanoid again and again. If it wasn't for the stone monkey If you see through it in time, you will cause a huge disaster.

It can be said that Liu Chan is unparalleled in this world. "

Chang Diao: ...

I haven't seen that yet, what are you talking about.

He reluctantly smiled, not knowing what to say for a while.

Cao Rui casually flipped through this "Journey to the East" and asked:

"I wonder what the Taiwei thinks after reading this book?"

Chang Diao just watched the excitement, but he couldn't tell what thought was contained in the divine book that was said to be revised by the prince himself.

He pondered for a long time in pain, but he could only smile reluctantly:

"God Haotian has boundless magic power, and the stone monkey in this book is invincible in the Western Regions, so he is so arrogant that he dares to assist Wang Mang in causing chaos.

When he met the God of Haotian, he was beaten to death with a single palm. Hundreds of years later, he finally came to his senses, and helped the Kang monk to come to the East to obtain the scriptures, and wanted to go back to educate the barbarians in the West. "

Chang Diaochun was just talking nonsense, but Cao Rui was inexplicably excited when he heard it.

He clenched his fists and said excitedly:

"That's right, when I was not enthroned, I heard from Hu Chuquan that the Xiongnu had civil strife and were divided into northern and southern Xiongnu, and the southern Xiongnu surrendered to our dynasty, where did the northern Xiongnu go.

Only later did I realize that this world is far more than just a country of Han,

In addition to Kangju, Wusun and other countries, there is a larger land, which is controlled by barbarians, and the Northern Huns must have rebuilt the country there. "

Is that so?

Chang Diao is not interested at all,

He has never guessed how big the world is,

There are still many places in this big man's world that he probably won't be able to reach in his lifetime, let alone a bigger land.

As Cao Rui spoke, he just listened and nodded slowly in agreement.

"This journey of learning scriptures is not smooth.

Kang Seng and the Stone Monkey clashed several times, and the Stone Monkey even turned his back on Kang Seng and left. However, the two eventually joined forces and overcame many difficulties and obstacles, finally arrived in Chang'an. "

Chang Diao shuddered and said solemnly:

"That monk Kang is really stupid,

The stone monkey has high mana and is the best in the Western Regions, but Kang Seng knows nothing, and it is not easy to enshrine it at that time.

If I were the stone monkey, I would leave that Kang monk behind and go to Haotian God to seek the scriptures for the benefit of the Western Regions. "

Cao Rui smiled awkwardly and sighed:

"I often reflect on these days, I am just like this Kang monk, and Taiwei Chang is very capable and has won the trust of the army, comparable to...

This stone monkey. "

puff!

Chang Diao bit his tongue, and it really spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground, Jishou bowed down, trembling.

"It's the minister talking nonsense, it's the minister talking nonsense."

Cao Rui chuckled, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

"Where is the lieutenant wrong.

I'm sorry Taiwei. "

When Chang Diao's wife quarreled with Chang Diao, she often said that I was sorry for your fault, but Chang Diao dared to say that it was Cao Rui's fault, and Cao Rui was indeed right.

He could only knelt and shivered, not even daring to say, but Cao Rui didn't have any eccentricities this time.

He helped Chang Diao up, and said gently:

"Before I listened to the villain's words, I had a bit of dissatisfaction with the Taiwei.

Now... Now that it has become like this, I have to blame myself. "

"I am willing to do my best for Wei, and I will not say anything. Your Majesty is really a shameful minister."

Cao Rui looked at Chang Diao's sincere and fearful appearance, but he still couldn't see that there was any sign of a traitor in this person,

Now that the country's affairs are difficult, Chang Diao's popularity in the court is very high, and it is really too late for him to continue to test.

"I'm about to leave Luoyang." Cao Rui said slowly.

"Ah?" Chang Diao was taken aback, "Your Majesty is going to Yecheng?"

"Hehe, go to Yecheng..." Cao Rui stretched his waist, "Go to Yecheng, I'm afraid Liu Chan won't let me go.

I don't want to go to his Gongde Mansion to copy literature and history, and be ridiculed for the rest of my life.

I am the Son of Heaven, of course... I have to do something else. "

Since Cao Rui ascended the throne, it can be said that he has been sleeping all night and working hard.

He has a good talent, and quickly learned all kinds of governance, which is quite praised by the important officials around him.

It's a pity that the hole Cao Pi dug for him is too big, and the opponent is too strong. This has caused the great Wei to be precarious now, and he will be a king of subjugation instead.

Liu Bei and his son have always been hypocritical,

If I fall into their hands, I shouldn't die,

But Cao Rui was unwilling to copy books in the Gongde Mansion, recalling the first half of his life humiliatingly.

He is still young, and still has a lot of drive. It just so happens that this "Journey to the East" has given him a lot of inspiration.

He raised the "Journey to the East" in his hand, smiled and said:

"This world is not limited to Kyushu,

I heard that there is a country called Rome in the west, the country is huge and rich, and the Central Plains is not allowed to be ruled.

Now that Liu Chan's army is approaching Tongguan, many people in Luoyang are opposed, and the Central Plains may be difficult to defend.

In order to protect the foundation of the Ancestral Temple, I want to use the Taiwei as a general to lead the army to conquer Rome, far away from the Central Plains, I don’t know the Taiwei..."

clam?

Chang Diao never imagined that Cao Rui's thinking would jump like this.

Good guy, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou are all still there, and Sun Quan is not dead. You still have so many troops in your hands, and you actually want to run away tens of thousands of miles away.

Really yours.

Cao Wei started his business with the aristocratic family in the Central Plains. Now that you are going to go so far, how can anyone be willing to follow you?

It's really interesting that you didn't wake up or fell asleep, and you actually said such a thing.

However, Chang Diao was secretly happy in his heart.

Okay,

you run?

Lao Tzu revealed the news that you are going to run away, the prince will soon come to the city.

You have to go to Yecheng and bring your clan with you to escape, right?

At that time, I will run to Yecheng with you, and then wipe out all the clans of your great Wei, and drown them all in the Yellow River, so as to completely help the great man eliminate all threats, wouldn't it be wonderful?

Hey Hey Hey.

"I would like to swear to follow His Majesty to the death. Let alone the Western Regions, even the ends of the earth, as long as Your Majesty orders, I can go as much as I want."

"call.

Cao Rui sighed secretly in his heart.

Chang Diao is famous for his loyalty,

I hope he won't disappoint me this time.

"That's fine."

Cao Rui smiled and said:

"I bestowed the Taiwei Jieyue, and please ask the Taiwei to restrain the five Huns. Even if we don't stay in the Central Plains, we can't give it to Liu Bei and his son for nothing."

Five Huns?

Those rotten fish and rotten shrimps under Hu Chuquan?

Well, that's not exactly what I want.

Chang Diao was overjoyed and immediately bowed respectfully:

"Chen, Chang Diao is determined to live up to his mission!"

Chapter 535

The Luoyang Chinese Army in Luoyang City is in panic all day long, waiting for the final battle at any time.

Liu Chan broke through Tongguan, and a large area of ​​land was exposed, but no one in the court dared to fight against it. Cao Ren couldn't see it, so he handed over the command of the Luoyang Central Army to Zhang Liao, and led an army to sit in Mianchi.

As soon as Cao Ren left, people in the DPRK began to criticize Cao Rui's loyal ministers headed by Liu Ye and Liu Fang, forcing Cao Rui to deal with these traitors and lawbreakers, and return the Wei to the world.

Even if the former Cao Rui could bear the criticism from these people, his expression would definitely be very ugly.

But this time everyone was surprised to find that the emperor was not annoyed.

Even, he leisurely watched Manchao Wenwu quietly pretending to be aggressive, his heart was completely calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

This smile made the hearts of many courtiers tremble,
