If you don't wear women's clothes, the big man will die!

Later, the topic turned to Cao Jie.

Cao concealed his displeasure and said: "I have always known Cao Jie's tricks and sweet words, but I didn't expect him to deceive even my father, and fooled my father into thinking that he really planned to treat me sincerely."

Cao Song twitched the corners of his mouth, looking a little helpless: "You have misunderstood Cao Jie. After all, he is a disciple taught by your grandfather, and his conduct is as noble as your grandfather's."

"At the beginning, you told me to be careful of Cao Jie and stay away from him. Now I keep my head clear, but my father is not." Cao Man was very angry: "Cao Jie is not Gao Jie, he is more cunning than a weasel!"

Cao Song said sharply: "That's enough! Just remember, there are so many eunuchs in the inner palace, only our eunuchs from the same family surnamed Cao cooperate with us, and the rest of the eunuchs are untrustworthy. Don't look at those Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Wang Fu and others are friendly and kind, and they are all black-hearted masters. The only thing Cao Jie is better than him is that he understands what a eunuch should really do, not for righteousness, but for self-protection. I will do what the eunuchs of the Five Marquises did back then."

"The eunuchs of the five lords have still lived up to now, and their lives are very nourishing," Cao said back: "The women in the inner palace have been deceived by their sweet words. With such a group of people, the ears of your majesty and the empress dowager can be clean There are ghosts."

Seeing that his son was like a hedgehog, Cao Song exploded at the slightest touch, and knew that he should not be stimulated any more. The young man was very violent, and he had not yet received the beating in reality. He used to listen to his father so much that he still had a rebellious mentality. What's more, Cao Man has a strong temper?

Cao Song, who knew his son was soft but not hard, softened his expression, and said to him earnestly: "Ah Man has the experience of studying with the emperor, and he is destined to receive more care in the future, but I hope you will not be blinded by those cares. You must know that there should be an appropriate distance between the ruler and his ministers, and it is not appropriate to exceed it. If you wait too long, you will lose your affection and hurt your trust."

How many years have passed, Cao Song is still like an old hen, hiding Cao bit by bit, it's not a big deal, the young eagle should fly when it grows up, he is not at ease, it is really a shame to take care of him I'm afraid it will melt in my mouth, but I'm afraid it will fall when I hold it in my hand.Even if he has a young son and a new baby now, he has formed a habit of teasing Cao Man over the years.Now that Cao Man has grown up, he is no longer dependent on others, and has his own ideas, and his heart is drifting outside all day, which hurts the old father very much, and the psychological gap is even bigger.

Cao Man listened quietly, already tired of hearing these words in his heart, and his ears were callused. His grandfather taught him this way before, and his father still taught him that it would be annoying to listen to.

Seeing Cao Song's serious exhortations, Cao Man, who was away from home for half a month and was busy with his studies at Taixue and rarely had the chance to get along with Cao Song, had a sore nose. Time to be mischievous.

So even if he heard calluses in his ears, he still listened carefully and replied seriously: "Father, don't worry, the child has listened."

All in all, just to make my father feel at ease.

Cao Song felt relieved to get such a serious response from him, and he urged again: "I don't ask you to have such a prominent official position in the future, just like your grandfather asked me at the beginning, safety is the first. The higher you stand, the greater the risk, even if you are a dude, I can still afford you, so you don't have to work too hard, you have to discuss everything with me before making a decision."

Cao Man laughed and said: "If I were really a dandy, my father would not be in the same mood now."

Cao Song thought about it for a while, and it was really the case. He couldn't help sighing: "Do you still remember our old neighbor Yuan's family? Their house is full of chaos every day."

"The Yuan family? What happened to them?" Cao Man asked curiously: "Now everyone is writing reports, and I heard that both of them plan to seek a military post, so can there be trouble?"

"I gave birth to two dandies who are 'handy and generous'," Cao Song sighed, pointing: "Then Yuan Shao has become a princess, and he got the concubine out in advance, and there are a lot of concubines at home, and the house is restless. Don't make trouble. Then Yuan Shu is even more terrible. As soon as the university courses are over, he plays like crazy, misses brothels and gambling houses and doesn't go home. The family lost a lot of money."

Cao Song reassured: "It's still my family who is sensible, knows how to be considerate to his father, and won't cause trouble everywhere."

Cao Man's scalp became a little tense when he said this.

He vowed: "When I grow up, I know how to share my father's worries. Not only will I not cause trouble in the future, but I will also protect my father!"

"It's okay to protect me, I can do well myself," Cao Song smiled and nodded at him: "You first write out the report and show it to your father, and then hand it over to Taixue. After President Xun asked for leave, the acting chief Qiao Xuan, after I have read it properly, I will give it to him to have a look, basically there will be no trouble."

Cao Man nodded, he couldn't write it in the report, and other people would find out, so he can still tell His Majesty face to face!

He doesn't ask for any high-ranking officials, what he wants is to do practical things, even if he is an official in charge of farming and public security, he is willing.With such ambition, he is doomed to be unable to accompany the emperor in the inner palace. He has to express his intentions for the future official position clearly through this report, lest His Majesty give him a popular official position next to the emperor. Can't do practical things at all.

Cao Song seemed to be able to turn his head when he heard Cao Man, and he was very pleased. The reason he changed his attitude towards Cao Jie was because the great eunuch knew more about A Man than he, his father.

You must know that Cao Jie sent a lot of people along the way. Even when Xingyang was attacked by mobs, there were people waiting outside the city to meet them, just waiting for Cao Jie to be escorted back to Luoyang in case the city of Xingyang was broken.As for what happens to other people, they won't care too much.

Those people didn't expect Xingyang City to be defended, and Cao Man even had a good reputation among the defenders.

In a place Cao Man didn't know, Cao Jie's people contacted the prefect of Xingyang, gave him treasures and supplies, and ordered him to spread Cao Man's reputation.

A man as fine as Cao Jie, he knew for a long time that with Cao's deceitful temperament, he would definitely tell His Majesty what he saw and heard along the way. After receiving the news from his subordinates, he immediately praised: "It's a good job, just do it like this. Conceal that the contribution to Xingyang has expanded, and tell everyone that he is a young talent."

Then, before the news of Xingyang's victory came, Cao Jie quietly whispered to Liu Hong about Cao Man's contribution to suppressing the violence/chaos in Xingyang.

Then he found Cao Song and advised him to minimize the loss of the report written by Cao Man.

Cao Jie said to Cao Song: "We are hiding our temper, and we can't turn the corner. He can't tell how many interests are involved in the court. He has learned the words of the sages in his head. He is upright and innocent. This is because my brother protects too much. Going outside this time and seeing the poverty outside, with his kind heart, he will definitely expose the unspoken things to His Majesty."

Cao Song also had a very headache, how could he not know the character of his son?

"When he comes back, I will definitely keep a close eye on his report and let him write something else!"

Cao Jie shook his head, and said in disapproval: "Educating a child is like dredging a river, blocking it is worse than dredging it. Brother, instead of restraining him and making him rebellious, it's better to be patient and have a good chat with him, using affection."

Cao Song: "Use emotion?"

"Ah Mo is a man of temperament, he values ​​affection, you may not listen to him when you reason with him, but you will get good results if you use emotion to move people." Cao Jie's vision is not vicious. Understand, perhaps more thoroughly than himself!

Cao Song also didn't expect that Cao could hide the truth from Guo Jia's on-demand broadcast, and a tendon in his mind seemed to have opened up a little bit, and he knew how to make a detour.

It is only necessary to shift the fault of public grievances to the prefect of Xingyang, and other officials who are in the center of interests will not react so much.

"It's better to cut off the tail to survive and discard the chess pieces than to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, which will involve the entire court!" Cao Jie said lightly: "Ah, after all, I have too little experience, and I am a little too naive. Rather than let him fall into a big somersault in the future, it is better for his elder brother to educate him in advance, so as to prevent problems before they happen, isn't it better? When it comes to their own safety, court officials and eunuchs in the palace will cut off their tails to survive. Your Majesty will too?"

Cao Jie's light words put great pressure on Cao Song.

yes!If the matter of public grievances involves the entire court, a thorough investigation will cause violent turmoil, and even threaten His Majesty's throne. At that time, it will be time for His Majesty to "dock the tail for survival"!

Cao Song was so frightened by Cao Jie, the hairs on his back stood on end, and cold sweat flowed profusely.

Cao Jie said warmly: "Brother, don't be afraid, I will help you, as long as all the faults are passed on to the local people in Xingyang, then nothing will happen. You must make sure to close the report of Aman, and then go through the trial. Hand it in, and I'll help you watch it."

After finishing Cao Song, Cao Jie returned to the palace. When he was sitting in the carriage with no one else, he relaxed and wiped his sweat.

At Cao Jie's side, Cao Man has become a beast that needs to be prepared. Fortunately, based on his understanding of the Cao family, he can contain Cao Man by pinching Cao Song.

Cao Jie studied Cao Man for a long time, and thought he could see through Cao Man at a glance. He felt that he was the roundworm in Ah Man's stomach, and he knew everything about him.

At night, the content of the system's lectures for Cao Man began to appear as an adult strategy class. The intrigues and intrigues of adults gradually unfolded before Cao Man's eyes. The deeper factional struggles in the court and more comprehensive court tactics, let's see Cao Man for a long time Festival's road to promotion!

Cao Jie, the educational template, draws a touching story with his life's intrigues, tricks, blood and tears.In the previous dynasty, he held the power of life and death in his hands, making countless scholars and bureaucrats eager to devour his flesh and blood.In the harem, he is the little emperor, No.1 among the eunuchs.

"He wandered between the former dynasty and the harem, the power reached the peak, climbed to the top of the mountain, and the abyss beneath the feet," Nanxiu repeatedly played Cao Jie's eyes, Cao Jie's knowing smile, Cao Jie's orchid finger, Cao Jie was angry When he pursed his lips tightly, Cao Jie looked surprised for a moment, and when he was in a hurry, he dripped sweat.

This gentle and elegant eunuch, whose whole body is interpreting the feeling of spring breeze on his face,

The male cultivator laughed and said: "Does it mean that he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness, or should he be said to be too crazy? There is no way out for himself at all, either go to the highest place and enjoy the taste of the highest power, or fall off the cliff and die Have a blast!"

From choosing the heir to the throne, to recruiting Cao Man in order to train chess pieces, to regretting the game, to the new layout, and when Cao Man was about to return to Luoyang, Cao Jie had a dialogue with Cao Song for giving a sweet date and hitting another stick.

Under the education of Nanxiu, Cao Man was able to analyze the situation regardless of his personal emotions. From Cao Jie's standpoint, it is understandable that he would do so.

"Understanding is one thing. If he scares my dad, don't blame me for causing trouble for him."

"Sir, can I really not write about the sufferings of the world?" Cao Mo asked the male cultivator again.

"No emperor likes to listen to the sufferings of the people," the male cultivator said, "except for lunatics, but you can think of a more roundabout way to tell him that his ruling position is not guaranteed."

Think of a roundabout way?

Cao Man was thoughtful.

Nanxiu highlighted the key points for him: "Remember to ask him to share his worries from the perspective of the emperor. What you want to talk about is not what the courtiers and all the people in the world should do, but what should be said about His Majesty's rights, His Majesty's purse, and His Majesty's reputation. How how..."

When Nanxiu taught Cao Man, he specially gave him a copy of "Thick Black Studies", and he patted Cao Man expectantly: "Read more books in your dreams, you will benefit a lot, " It is said in the Three Character Classic that if you don’t carve a jade, you can’t make it into a tool, and if you don’t learn, you don’t know righteousness. If you live and learn, you can become a better person!”

Every time in class, the male cultivator likes to pour chicken soup for the soul of Cao Man, talking about the young man with enthusiasm.

Cao Man wakes up from the dream in a daze, and seems to have learned a lot, but in the end his mind is full of Cao Jie's emoticons.

He pushed open the window and saw that the weather outside was fine, the cold wind was blowing gently, and there seemed to be snowflakes falling in the sky. If it was in the past, he would be in a very good mood when he saw white snow, but now Cao Man is in a heavy heart, thinking about the poor coat in Luoyang The impoverished beggars who covered their bodies immediately returned to their desks and began to write vigorously.

He wrote in the report:

When the students went to Xingyang, they saw the desolation on the side of the road, and they knew that the people were trapped.It is heard that Xingyang was hungry a few years ago, the food provided by the government was not enough for the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty had no one to support them, and they were all powerless in battle.

The wealthy gentry in Xingyang had relatives of eunuchs who privately built mansions and occupied good fields. They used the title of His Majesty to anoint the people, and the treasures they got were greedy for themselves.

The prefect of Xingyang is also supported by the eunuch party. I don't know who helped him, but I only know that he is incompetent as a prefect, worse than a first-year university student. Can this prefect really rule Xingyang?

The people of Xingyang don't think about the heaven and earth, the king and relatives, but they know that the noble gentry and the evil officials have partnered with the people to deceive the people so that they and their families can't live.Its destructive power is so great that the world is shaken, and Xingyang will never recover from then on.

The student personally experienced the defense of Xingyang, and killed nearly a hundred thieves. Those generals who did not obey the seal, did not follow the rules when defending the city, did not listen to advice, and their heads were different, which is far worse than General Duan...

So long-winded and long-winded, I wrote a lot, and I didn’t forget to point the question at the end. If Xingyang cannot be governed well, the mob dares to attack Xingyang today, and they may gather in Luoyang in the future!

Officials in Xingyang don't know how to govern, it's a crime!

The relatives of the eunuchs in Xingyang are also sinful in the fish and meat village!

It must take a long time for such a big riot to happen. The students don't know where the mistakes are. The students only know to tell His Majesty what they have seen and what they have not seen, so that His Majesty will not be blinded and ears covered, and cannot see the suffering of the world. .

I also ask Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation, and return the officials to Qingming. I am a big man, and under the wise and powerful governance of my Majesty, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, the weather will be smooth, and we will usher in a prosperous age!

Cao Song read Cao Man's report, and frowned slightly: "These few sentences cannot be written. Change the suffering of the people in the world into the suffering of the people of Xingyang."

After a while, he said again: "These few sentences cannot be written, you are killing all the eunuchs with one shot, and don't imply that you are implying that there will be civil disturbances in other places, Your Majesty!"

As if checking homework, Cao Song criticized Cao's concealed report over and over again, and finally said: "You flattered His Majesty in the end, you did a good job, so let's do it."

In the end, Cao Song nodded with satisfaction: "There is basically no problem, just change the details."

Cao Mo had expected this to happen a long time ago, so he took the report and corrected it with a smile, and then showed it to Cao Song.

Once this report is submitted, some eunuchs will be unlucky, and some courtiers will be implicated.

The finished report of Cao Mo was first handed over by him to the head of the Taixue, then sent by the head to the Shang Shuling, then passed through the hands of the eunuch, and finally reached the emperor's case.

In Qiao Xuan's view, the reports of Tai students are nothing more than some stereotyped articles, mostly empty sage's words, nothing worth reading.

He put together those reports, browsed and screened them with a group of Taixue teachers, and most of the reports were approved.

"Director Qiao, please take a look at this report," He Yong, the head of the elementary school, held Cao Man's report in his hand, and solemnly handed it over to Qiao Xuan.

It is no wonder that He Yong was surprised by the sudden appearance of a report about the sufferings of people's livelihood among all the reports that eulogized or were full of empty words.

After Qiao Xuan saw it, he handed it to the other teachers to watch. Everyone looked at it one by one, and whispered to each other: "This Cao Jili really dares to do anything and dare to say anything. I heard that he really went to the Zhuang Tour in person. Already!"

"It's too frank, and it's easy to break if you are too rigid!" Xiao Xuzi sighed: "He dared to submit this report, but he made us feel embarrassed. Should this be passed or not?"

Qiao Xuan said bluntly: "Why bother, the students love the people, this is something to be encouraged, my man will give birth to a minister who governs the world in the future, this is a good thing! Approved."

"But if this is the case, will it affect Cao Jili's career? He will be regarded as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and even affect his father." He Yong worried.

"I don't believe that Da Sinong won't read the report he wrote, just pass it," Qiao Xuan waved his hand: "If it is really something that cannot be seen by His Majesty, the eunuchs will stop it."

Hearing him mention the eunuchs who were pressing on top of them, the faces of the teachers were not good.

"I just hope this report can reach His Majesty! I also heard about the Xingyang Rebellion. Many people starved to death in this famine, hey."

The miserable scene outside Luoyang made He Yong feel powerless. As a literati, he could only teach students in Taixue and teach them to read sage books, and he could do nothing else.

He Yong knew that once the chaos outside broke out to the extreme, it would be the overthrow of the entire Han Dynasty.

Who can save this great Han country?The fate is exhausted, the Han family is about to perish, how many people with lofty ideals poured their flesh and blood to help the collapsed, when will the chaos end?

Seeing this report by Cao Meng, He Yong was refreshed, as if he saw hope for the future!

After this incident, Qiao Xuan found Cao Man and had a private conversation with him: "Have you made up your mind? Which difficult and tortuous road are you going to take?"

Cao Man replied, "I've made up my mind."

"Even if that would be the opposite path for most people?"

"How can you run counter to most people! I don't believe so many people who have studied the words of sages. There are not many students who graduate from Taixue who are like me!" Cao Mo said firmly: "Qiaozi is like everyone else. Isn’t it precisely because of this that Mr. Li teaches and educates people and cultivates us into talents?”

Qiao Xuan couldn't help laughing: "You boy, it's true, as always, I really didn't see the wrong person."

Cao Mo said unexpectedly: "You know me better than my father. If my father knows my future plan, he will definitely oppose it with all his strength. You know my choice very well, won't you stop me?"

Qiao Xuan was over half a century old, and he was refreshed. He immediately slapped the table and said to Cao: "Stop it? Why should I prevent the future eagle of the big man from growing up? He Yong is worried. The big man has signs of impending doom. If this is the case, you can’t give it a go, and watch it collapsed, so arrogant! No one wants to be a minister of subjugation, and I am the same. You can do things with confidence. If something goes wrong, I, one of the three princes Sikong is holding it on his head, what are you afraid of! We bear the hatred of the party, and those eunuchs who are proud of us will pay for it with blood!"

Qiao Xuan's blood surged up, and he frightened Cao for a moment. He was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Qiaozi let my report pass, didn't someone tell you something?"

"say what?"

Qiao Xuan was different from what Cao Man expected. He thought His Majesty had sent someone to communicate with the head of the academy, but he never thought that it was actually Qiao Xuan's support from his heart!

It's not because the emperor is backing him, but he just thinks that Cao Man is right, and he is willing to use his wealth and life to guarantee it!

With a serious expression on his face, Qiao Xuan asked Cao Man: "The world will be in chaos, and the world will not be able to help if it is the fate of the world. The one who can make peace, is it up to the king?"

Cao Mo replied confidently: "I will devote my whole life to be the backbone of a great man!"

At that moment, the young man was heroic and vigorous, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, shining with a dazzling cold light.

Cao Man's report was like a bird with wings. After passing through Cao Jie, it immediately entered the hands of Emperor Liu Hong.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the rich and powerful families in Xingyang. The eunuchs and their relatives involved in the case were all arrested and imprisoned.

A large group of people went to ransack the house, and the soldiers rushed into the house of the local tyrants in Xingyang, searched for the property, and transported it all to the treasury.

According to a transfer order, Sima Jun, the prefect of Yingchuan, was moved to be the prefect of Xingyang, and went to Xingyang to support his recovery.Cao Chi was also ordered to take over as prefect of Yingchuan.

Sima Jun was reassigned from the wealthy Yingchuan area to Xingyang. It seemed flat but actually he was demoted, but the emperor trusted his ability and believed that he could manage Xingyang well. Any high-ranking official and rich salary must have important things.

No, in order to compensate Sima Jun, his son Sima Fang was promoted to Luoyang Order, who managed everything around Luoyang and was the largest administrative officer nearby.

Of all the county magistrates in the world, only the county magistrate of Luoyang, the capital of the country, has a detached status. The imperial relatives, relatives, and family meritorious deeds are all respected.

After the college students' reports were handed in, it was time to wait for graduation. Cao Man turned [-], and Cao Song organized a coronation ceremony.

Ever since Cao Man returned to Luoyang, the young emperor always asked Cao Jie, "Has A Man come back?" "Where is A Man?" "Why hasn't A Man come to see me?"

Cao Jie replied respectfully: "Da Sinong will hold the coronation ceremony for Ah Mo, and now he stays at home all day, so he won't be able to spare time."

Liu Hongdao: "I'm going to attend Ah Man's coronation ceremony too!"

As soon as he said this, Wang Fu knelt down with a plop, and shouted: "Your Majesty is honorable, how can you break the knot? Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Liu Hong listened impatiently to his words of advice, his face was clouded.

Cao Jie bowed and persuaded: "How can you hide from me? How can you work for Your Majesty to come forward?"

"Are you coming to persuade me too?" Liu Hong asked angrily, "Should I stay in this gorgeous birdcage and be your puppet?"

Cao Jie also knelt down and said in a low voice: "Ah Man is only twenty years old, and there is still a long way to go in the future, please take into account your past friendship, don't hold him in front of others, and suffer A high-level shot in the dark."

Standing on a high place, Cao Jie once again gained some face in front of Liu Hong with his caring and considerate care for Cao Man. Liu Hong thought about it, and finally listened to Cao Jie's advice, and temporarily gave up his mind.

When he was crowned, in addition to his father having to wear the crown for Cao Man, he also needed a famous teacher to congratulate him.Originally, Li Ying was supposed to do this, but unfortunately Li Ying resigned and returned to his hometown due to physical discomfort. Before leaving, he recommended Qiao Xuan to Cao Song.

Cao Song hesitated: "Sikong Qiaoxuan? I'm afraid I won't be able to invite such a big man." That eccentric master has a straightforward temper and is not afraid of power. He is powerful and has a growing reputation. he.Qiao Xuan has always been an enemy of eunuchs, and even Cao Jie, who once promoted him, was reprimanded by him for "power eunuchs chaotic court".He is one of the Nine Ministers, Da Si Nong, how can he have the face to invite Qiao Xuan to come forward?

Cao Song doesn't have that much face, but Cao Man does!

Sikong Qiaoxuan personally came to sing congratulations for Cao Man, what a great honor that is, Qiao Xuan, who usually doesn't look up to Cao Song so much, smiled for the first time, and even said to Cao Man: We are waiting for you! You come to be my successor and so on.

Cao Song was overjoyed, and took advantage of the situation to ask Qiao Xuan to help Cao conceal the words.

At the age of 20 and Guan's adulthood, there should be a word. After so many years of calling, it is not grand enough for outsiders. Cao Song said to Qiao Xuan: "Qiao Sikong has a great literary talent and a great reputation. The dog has not yet taken Since you have come to sing the lyrics for Ah Man, why don't you pick a word for him by the way?"

When Cao Man heard the words, he looked at Qiao Xuan suspiciously.

Qiao Xuan smiled all over his face, stroked his beard, and scrutinized Cao Man for a moment, showing undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

"He is fierce and upright. This is his strength, but it is also his weakness. It is not a good thing to be too sharp. I have used my life experience to understand how important a compromise and harmonious attitude is. The sage said 'extremely brilliant Dao Zhongyong', what Ah Man lacks is the "virtue of the mean"!"

The more Cao Song listened to it, the more he felt it made sense. He said excitedly, "Exactly! What Qiao Sikong said is so right!"

Cao Man looked at Qiao Xuan with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Qiao Xuan said with a smile: "Why don't we use the word 'Meng De'!"

Cao Song murmured: "The "Three Character Classic" says: 'In the past, Mencius's mother chose a place next to her, but if her son did not learn, she would cut off the machine'. Under his mother's education, Mencius finally became a sub-sage. It's wonderful!"

Qiao Xuan's advice and expectation to Cao Man lifted his spirits, and Cao Man murmured: "Meng De? It's really a good name."

Somewhere, there was a voice in his heart telling him, it was this word!It is it, and it will accompany him for the rest of his life, as great and glorious as its meaning, creating an immortal legend!

After reaching the crown, after the university graduation ceremony is completed, the imperial court will gradually arrange official positions for this group of college students.

Cao Man was finally free, put on women's clothes and went to find Liu Hong.

He quietly came to Chengde Hall, and found many courtiers waiting outside the hall, Cao Jie said to the courtiers with a pleasant smile: "Your Majesty is busy, please wait a moment."

Your Majesty is busy?

Cao Man thought about it, anyway, he has nothing urgent, so why not wait a while!

He came to Liu Hong's study familiarly, and waited and waited in the study. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, when it was time to eat, he could see the figures of courtiers gathered there outside the study window, but he had not yet been summoned by the emperor. .

Cao Man was extremely puzzled, what was he so busy with?

He tiptoed to the emperor's bedroom in Chengde Hall, and found Liu Hong sitting on the top, drinking and having fun, all kinds of beautiful dancers surrounded him. The beauty leaned on him alone, and the other fed him wine and fruits, looking very contented.

The courtiers outside waited for a long time, but the emperor was busy "drinking and having fun" in the palace?

Cao Mo's blood surged up from this complete foolishness, and he was so angry that he breathed up and down, and immediately stopped loudly, and called the emperor's name: "Liu Hong!——"

The audience was silent, and the dancers stopped dancing. They all looked at Cao Man, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

The emperor came back to his senses and looked at Cao Man in surprise. The two beauties who served him were stiff and stunned for a while.

This group of women, each with their own merits, looked at Cao Man one by one, took a breath in unison, and shivered to observe the emperor's reaction after being called by his name.

Liu Hong raised his hand and said lightly to the rest of the people, "You all go out."

Who is this beautifully dressed woman? !

She called the emperor by his name directly, but His Majesty, who has always been volatile, is not angry yet!

The beauties retreated one by one, lowered their eyebrows, and secretly looked at Cao Mo in the dark tide.

Those two beauties who were favored by the emperor, one with a beautiful and gentle style, compared with that beautiful woman, immediately became wild flowers and weeds by the roadside.

There was an undercurrent among the crowd, and it didn't take long for the news that the emperor had a new lover spread throughout the harem.

When the others retreated, Liu Hong asked Cao Man funnyly: "Why did Ah Man come to see me today?"

"As soon as I'm free, I'll sneak out to look for you," said the woman dressed as Cao Feng, her face flushed with anger, and she took several breaths before suppressing her anger. He suppressed his temper and asked the emperor, "What are you doing, Your Majesty? Outside The courtiers have been waiting for you for a long time, but Cao Jie just pretended that you were busy, but he didn't expect that you were just having fun!"

Liu Hong curled his lips: "The group of stubborn old people will gather here not to preach to me. I know what they will say after thinking about it. Of course I am not happy to see them."

"Then why don't you let them go back?" Cao Meng said, "The hair of the courtiers is all gray, some of them are older than our ancestors, so it's not good to let the old ministers wait outside?"

"If I tell them to go back, will they go back?" Liu Hong sneered, his eyes were indifferent: "It's not just to hinder my eyes, the decision I made is that this group of stubborn old people can kneel a few times and kowtow a few times. Changed? Really think that I just took over the throne and had no real power to handle it!"

"Ah, why are you talking about me like those stubborn old people?" Liu Hong said, "Could it be possible that you have been bewitched by those sages' words after going to Taixue to study for five years?"

The words of a sage are the essence of a wise man's life, how can it be said to be demagoguery? !

Cao Man didn't know what to say for a moment, he pondered for a moment, glanced sharply at Liu Hong's face, and suddenly said: "You stay up late again like before? Look at the dark circles under your eyes, it's almost the same as when you were doing your homework. It's that deep."

Liu Hong was strangely silent for a moment, rolled his eyes with some guilt, and changed the subject: "After graduating from university, you will be able to work. The previous battle in Xingyang has allowed you to accumulate a lot of prestige. Why don't you strike while the iron is hot and seal you as an official?" How is the general?"

Cao Mo looked at Liu Hong quietly for a moment, then tilted his head and said, "Why did those courtiers gather to preach to His Majesty?"

Liu Hong said indifferently: "It's nothing more than some old-fashioned things."

"I made an agreement with Your Majesty to assist Your Majesty in governing the Han Dynasty when I become an adult. Does Your Majesty still remember the ambitions of those years?"

"My ambition at that time was to hold power and suppress my relatives," Liu Hong said, "Now that I have secured the throne, it should be time to enjoy my blessings."

Enjoy?

Cao Man frowned: "What do you think of enjoying happiness is listening to music, watching songs and dances, playing strange tricks, enjoying the service of beauties, and indulging in gentleness?"

Liu Hong seemed like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and said angrily, "Since when have I been indulging in tenderness, who is spreading rumors?! Do you believe those old stubborn slanders?"

Whether it is true or false, Cao can't hide it.

A 20-year-old boy, no one to control him, is not the right age for lawlessness, especially for a young man like His Majesty, not to mention being gentle, even if he is addicted to sex, so what, didn't the late emperor do it?

Cao Mo put on a serious expression: "Does Your Majesty still consider me a friend?"

Liu Hong was stunned, and said anxiously: "Of course, I have always regarded Ah Man as a good brother who can share blessings and troubles. Could it be that five years have passed, and Ah Man's mind has changed?"

"If you don't give up, I will treat you sincerely," Cao Mo said stubbornly and earnestly: "Since you regard me as a good brother, I will treat you like this."

Liu Hong had a bad premonition, and he argued: "I'm not really addicted to /female/sex, those dancers are just rare playthings collected from all over the place."

Cao Mo nodded: "Your Majesty doesn't need to explain, I understand."

Liu Hong: ...

What do you unserstand? !

From the second day on, Cao Man, who was waiting for graduation and had nothing to do, began to change his ways and had to wear women's clothes to hang out in front of Liu Hong.

Halfway through the review of the memorial, Liu Hong ordered to invite the beautiful Wang Meiren to accompany him. Cao concealed a more elegant and refined makeup than Wang Meiren, put on a white and elegant dress, and appeared expressionlessly in Liu Hong's bedroom.

Liu Hong:? ? ?

The courtiers persuaded the emperor to favor the concubines in the harem, and not to spoil the playthings of the dancers too much. Liu Hong refused to listen, and invited the dancers to dance for fun. Cao Man mixed in with the dancers and gave him a performance of what is called a real allure dance. !

For several days in a row, whenever Liu Hong wanted to delay government affairs to play with women/sexuality, he would always run into Cao Man who was dressed as a beautiful court lady.

After seeing the beauty of the upgraded version, Liu Hong always felt that his eyes were about to go blind when he looked at the same beauty again!

He even had doubts about his ability to appreciate beauties, and the faces of the few dancers he had favored were nothing more than that now.

Liu Hong couldn't take it anymore, the only one who still catches his eyes now is the noble He Shi who is good-looking, not stunning, but gentle and careless.

Liu Hong rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and said to Cao, "I was wrong."

He surrendered, is it not enough for him to surrender? !

Cao Man nodded and pointed to the case: "Your Majesty, review the memorial."

Liu Hong could only pinch his nose and honestly do the work that the emperor should do. He used to leave these things to the eunuchs to take care of them in order to save effort. How could he do them by himself?

"Didn't Ah Man want to be an official who can govern?" Liu Hong was so irritated by Cao Man that he didn't dare to ask him to serve by his side in the future, but said eagerly: "Luoyang Northern Lieutenant has It has been vacant for nearly a year, that position, in charge of
