Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

The breeze fell on the skin, making Ruan Qing's perception more and more clear. His thoughts seemed to be very clear, but at the same time seemed to be in chaos.The footsteps are on the solid stone slabs paved with the ground, but it seems to be stepping on the light clouds.

The sun was still hanging in the sky, so bright that it almost made him cry.He hurriedly blinked his eyes a few times to appease the soreness.

It will get better, as long as he works harder, everything will be better.

As he walked, he comforted himself with pale words that he didn't even have confidence in.

The majestic but unfamiliar buildings on both sides receded behind him at the speed of light, like the passing years.

After Muxiu, Ruan Qing went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be on duty again.

Not long after sitting there, Yang Xiu came to the door.

Now they are both the master of the prime minister, and the rooms where several people work are close to each other for document delivery.

Yang Xiu came here to send the approved official documents to Ruan Qing for checking and checking that they were correct, and then sealed them in the treasury for proofreading and checking in the future.

Yang Xiu put down the official document in his hand, and Ruan Qing saw that the other party had no intention of leaving.So he asked one more question, "What else is there for Dezu?"

Yang Xiudao, "I heard from the third son that my husband went to a banquet the day before yesterday and almost fell off his horse, so the prime minister sent someone to investigate, and now we have the results. Thinking that my husband is related to this matter, the prime minister asked Xiu to come and inform me.

It turned out that a small official who was in charge of horses for the prime minister tampered with the horses. He was Ma Teng's remnant party.Seeing that the master was arrested, he wanted the prime minister to fall off the horse while riding a horse, in order to retaliate.The prime minister is getting older now, if he is thrown, the consequences will be disastrous. "

After hearing this, Ruan Qing was inevitably suspicious.

How did the petty official know which horse Cao Cao was going to ride on? If they were all cheating, wouldn't it be revealing if others saw the other horse go mad?

Even if the little official thought he wanted to ride this Dawan horse when Cao Cao sent someone to lead it out, what kind of horse did he do, why did he only get angry after riding the horse for a long time.

And he clearly remembered that someone took away the clothes he was wearing.The clothes were prepared by Cao Cao in advance. It can be seen that others knew they were going to be worn for him, but why is there a problem with his clothes?

Ruan Qing had too many questions in her mind, but Yang Xiu said that he was passing on Cao Cao's words.Since Yang Xiu didn't say much, it seemed that Cao Cao didn't want him to know more, so he couldn't ask Yang Xiu any more.

"Hmm." He responded lightly.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu saluted and left.

Ruan Qing lowered her eyes and slowly stroked the bamboo slips with her fingers. After a long silence, she finally got up and walked outside.

It's about Cao Cao, he can't let it go completely.

The horse was the problem, he might as well go to the stables.

As we got closer, we could hear the occasional neighing and sneezing of horses, and smell faint coaxing.

This is the place where horses were bred specially for Cao Cao.

He turned around and asked the servant a few more words.

In fact, he already knew that this trip was destined to be fruitless, but he still didn't give up. He didn't want to let go of any place that threatened Cao Cao.

After asking, there was really no gain.

He thought of Jueying who had accompanied Cao Cao in his conquests.Now that I think about it, I should be an old horse, or like a breeze, I have already died.

So he asked a servant who was a handyman, and under the guidance of the other person, he walked into the innermost corner.

This place seems to be forgotten, far away from those tall and handsome horses, and even a little quiet.

Jueying, whose fur was somewhat dull, drooped his head, eating the fodder in the trough lazily, making a slight rustling sound.

He didn't think the ground was dirty, so he walked up to Jueying.

Jueying sensed the person, turned her face to smell it, and found that it was a familiar smell, so she gently rubbed Ruan Qing's cheek with her nose.

Ruan Qing touched the man's mane, and then pressed her face to Jueying's.Be silent.

After a while, someone behind him called him, "Master Ruan."

He turned his head and saw Li Chun, dressed in tight sleeves and short brown, holding a wooden bucket in his hand.

It was only then that Ruan Qing remembered that she hadn't seen Li Chun by Cao Cao's side for a long time.

"Brother." He looked at Li Chun's outfit in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Li Chun sighed softly, put down the wooden bucket, took the brush hanging on the wall, walked over, and combed Jueying's fur under Ruan Qing's suspicious eyes.

"Brother." Ruan Qing called again.

Li Chun stopped what he was doing and looked sideways at Ruan Qing, with a hesitant expression on his face, as if he had something to hide.

"What's the matter?" Ruan Qing asked, "Is there any difficulty for you?"

Ruan Qing is willing to help the former friend.

Seeing that Ruan Qing didn't know anything, Li Chun shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and said, "The prime minister asked me to raise horses."

"Why?" Ruan Qing was puzzled, "You are someone my lord is used to. How could he assign you to raise horses?"

"Because I did something wrong." Li Chun paused, looked at Ruan Qing for a moment, and finally said, "Because I put you in the tent when the prime minister was asleep in the camp in Xiliang. .”

Ruan Qing was startled, and he looked at Li Chun in a daze.

Li Chun added, "The prime minister said that when he is asleep, no one is allowed to be put in the tent except for important military affairs."

Ruan Qing remembered.

"But..." He opened his mouth, his eyes still full of confusion.

"But before, the lord never stopped me. He didn't allow others to get close to him when he was asleep, but, ok, but he never blocked me from the door. I slept next to the lord before. I thought... I thought I could get in."

"Yes. I also thought you could go in." Li Chun smiled and raised the horse brush in his hand, "But now it is different from before. The prime minister is no longer the previous lord."

"I'm the one who got you down..."

Li Chun looked at Ruan Qing who was at a loss, and smiled comfortingly, "You don't have to blame yourself. I am very willing to send me to the prime minister to raise horses. You don't know, since you left, I have followed you all these years Beside the prime minister, I am very afraid. I am afraid that one day I will accidentally lose my life. Although I come to raise horses now, I am tired, but I can sleep peacefully."

"Why is this..." Ruan Qing was still in disbelief.

Li Chun looked at Ruan Qing with a little pity in his eyes, "Little Master Ruan, you can see that you have called me elder brother these years. I also treat you as a brother. There are some things that I shouldn't talk about, but I still want to tell you.

I have seen you with the prime minister for so many years with my own eyes.I know that you like the prime minister, and I also know that the prime minister values ​​you.But now is different from the past.You may still have old thoughts about the prime minister.The prime minister is no longer the former prime minister.

Since you have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must have seen Yuan Qing..."

Li Chun looked at Ruan Qing quietly, and saw that Ruan Qing's eyes were gradually turning red.

Ruan Qing's eyes widened, and there was a lot of light in them, "Why do you say that?"

"Then why are there tears in your eyes?" Li Chun asked Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing understood the hidden meaning of Li Chun's words.

The other party knew that he already knew it in his heart.

It is clear that he is no longer a special existence to Cao Cao.Although he was not questioned by Cao Cao because he broke into the camp, Li Chun was punished. He has already become a courtier like everyone else.With Yuan Qing by Cao Cao's side, he is no longer the valet who can always be by Cao Cao's side without any reason.

It's ridiculous.

When he was the closest to Cao Cao, he never cherished it, so he left without any scruples.After going through all the trials and tribulations to understand how precious this relationship is, it has already been lost.

Ruan Qing's heart gradually became colder, as if a thick layer of snow had fallen in the twelfth lunar month, covering all the spring, only the cold and piercing pain.

"I don't believe it." He grinned, his eyes full of fear, and forced a smile, "My lord, that's my lord."

Li Chun looked deeply at Ruan Qing, with some unbearable eyes.

"Yes." Li Chun followed Ruan Qing's words, but it didn't mean exactly what Ruan Qing said, "Prime Minister, has always been Prime Minister."

"Yuanqing was brought by Guo Jijiu to present to the Prime Minister." Li Chun said, "The Prime Minister kept him. The name Yuan Qing was also given by the Prime Minister himself."

The man was found by Guo Jia, but the final decision was still in the hands of Cao Cao.

Ruan Qing, Yuan Qing.Alternate similar.

The heart seemed to be tightly pinched, throbbing with severe pain.

Surrounded by silence, Ruan Qing seemed to hear the voice of freezing in her heart.

He walked back to his room in a daze, and sat there blankly.

I don't know how long it took until the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window fell into his eyes, and he woke up with a start.

He looked at the office room that belonged to him, at the piles of official documents on the file.

Cao Cao still let him be the chief bookkeeper and kept him in the prime minister's mansion.

Ruan Qing comforted herself.Take it back instead.

Cao Cao has not completely abandoned him, he can take back everything that once belonged to him.

He was raised by Cao Cao, so he should have the courage to fight for it.

As long as he works hard and works hard, he will definitely be able to get it back.

In the northeast corner of the huge Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a row of low buildings.That's where the servants of the mansion stayed.

It was daytime now, and the servants were all at their posts, so there was no one there.

Across the path, there was a faint sound from a closed door in the deepest room.

"He's not dead yet..."

"I will, don't worry..."

After a while.The door was opened with a creak, and Yuan Qing walked in, but there was no one else in the room.Those voices just now seemed to be his hallucinations talking to himself.

This is a single room belonging to Yuan Qing. Because he has been regarded as Cao Cao's valet these years, he has been highly valued, and his on-duty time is not fixed. Sometimes he comes back in the middle of the night, and it is inconvenient to live with others, so he was assigned by the steward of the prime minister's mansion. .

Yuan Qing slammed the door shut, looked at the sun, and then walked to the kitchen.

These few days Cao Cao suffered from headaches and had to drink medicine every day, and it was almost time for Cao Cao to take medicine today.

When I arrived in the kitchen, the medicine in the medicine stove on the stove was indeed fried.

So he carried the medicine in the lacquer bowl on a tray and walked to the study.

Walking through the long corridor that he had to walk countless times a day, he turned a corner and saw that there was no one guarding the study outside. He went to the door, and suddenly heard the name of Ruan Qing in the voice from inside, so he stopped abruptly. Breathe slowly and tilt your ears slightly.

I only heard Cao Cao's magnetic voice, with a touch of authority, said calmly, "Gu told Moore the day before yesterday that he belonged to the clan. He is not willing."

"I think the prime minister had expected such a result before he said anything."

This voice is elegant and elegant, and because of the passage of time, the voice is a bit old.Yuan Qing had heard it many times, and instantly recognized the voice of Shang Shuling Xun Yu.

In the room, before Xun Yu and Cao Cao sat at the desk, they looked at Cao Cao's eyes that had become increasingly taboo and unfathomable over the years with warm eyes that were as calm as a pool of water.

After years of hard work, these two pairs of eyes eventually became no longer full of brightness, but full of the thickness bestowed by time.

"The Prime Minister understands in his heart." Xun Yu said quietly, "What kind of attitude does he have towards the Prime Minister?"

Xun Yu's eyes seemed to be able to speak.It gives people the same feeling as its owner, with moving determination and silence.

I don't know when Cao Cao looked into Xun Yu's eyes with fear.He subconsciously looked away, looked at the lazy shelf by the window, and said, "You already knew about Gu's arrangement for Moore."

"Yes. Both Yu and Feng Xiao knew about it..."

When Yuan Qing heard Xun Yu tell Cao Cao's arrangement, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his fingers pinched the tray tightly, his fingertips turned blue and white, and bony knuckles appeared on his slender palms.In the slightly staring eyes, the black pupils trembled slightly, full of astonishment.

"Gu is treating him well. His identity requires the protection of a family, and being included in the Cao family is the best choice for him and the Cao family."

Xun Yu said, "If the prime minister insists on doing this, considering Muer's attitude towards the prime minister, it will not be difficult. It's just...too cruel to Muer."

Cao Cao fell silent.A layer of gloom covered his face, it was unknown whether it was because of his pity for Ruan Qing, or his displeasure at what he wanted to do.

"Mu'er just needs a legitimate identity." Xun Yu said, "If he does not belong to the Cao family and Xiahou family, but belongs to other prominent families, he may not be able to suppress him in the future and will be used instead.

Yu guessed that Moore might reject the prime minister.So when he paid attention, he found that there was an official named Ruan Yu next to the eldest son.He was from Chenliu.Chenliuan's family has a simple population relationship and has the same surname as Mu'er, so it is the most suitable. "

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly as if thinking, "Is it from Cao Pi?"

After Yuan Qing heard this, he hurriedly backed away slowly, and when he was far away, hurriedly strode away.

With his hands folded, he walked in a hurry, going to the study that the young masters often used, when he met a person on the way.

"Mr. Yang." Yuan Qing hurriedly stopped in front of the other party, panting repeatedly, his cheeks were flushed, and faint beads of sweat floated on his forehead.

"Yuan Qing, why are you in such a hurry?" Yang Xiu couldn't help asking with a smile when he saw Yuan Qing like this.

"No, not good." Panting, Yuan Qing looked around and saw no one passing by, then lowered his voice and whispered, "I just heard that Xun Lingjun proposed to the prime minister that Ruan Qing should be recognized as Chen Liuruan. Clan, that is, the family of Ruan Yu next to the eldest son."

The corners of Yang Xiu's lips that were still smiling instantly sank, he also looked around, pulled Yuan Qing to a corner, then lowered his head, looked at Yuan Qing urgently and asked, "Is what you said true? "

"Really." Yuan Qing frowned slightly, with deep worry in his eyes.

"Does the third son know?" Yang Xiu asked.

"I probably don't know, but I'm going to tell him." Yuan Qing said, "At the banquet the day before yesterday, the prime minister dismissed everyone and asked Ruan Qing if he would like to join the Cao family. Chen Liu Ruan."

"Cao's income." Yang Xiu's gaze gradually became serious, and he sighed, "Prime Minister Ruan Qing has to entrust a heavy responsibility. In the future, Ruan Qing's official career may not be what you and I can imagine."

"Exactly." Yuan Qing hurriedly nodded and said what he heard.

"What!" Yang Xiu also showed a shocked expression after hearing this, turned around after a while, and asserted, "Never let Ruan Qing join the Chenliuan family."

"But how can the Prime Minister dispel this idea?" Yuan Qing said, "I'm afraid it's beyond what you and I can do."

At this moment, Yang Xiu was so overwhelmed by the shocking news that he had long forgotten why Cao Cao insisted on letting Ruan Qing belong to another family. He frowned, his brain was working rapidly, and he paced back and forth under Yuan Qing's gaze.

"Unless Ruan Qing can't join the Ruan family." Yang Xiu muttered to himself, then suddenly realized, he stopped and said to Yuan Qing, "As long as Ruan Yu makes a mistake and implicates the family, the prime minister will have no choice but to let go of this idea." dispel."

"But what should I do?" Yuan Qing just said something, and suddenly thought of something, "I have a way, but I have to ask my husband to help me."

After Yuan Qing finished speaking, Yang Xiu fell silent with a serious expression.

Yuan Qing swallowed anxiously.

Yang Xiu made a decision, "Okay, let's do this plan. It's just that if this method doesn't work, the crime is too great. Don't let Zijian know. If he knows, one is afraid that he will be implicated in the future, and the other is that he will be implicated. It's because of brotherhood, and he refuses to do anything."

"I saved it." Yuan Qing said, "Don't worry, sir."

The official affairs of the prime minister's mansion are heavy, but for the current Ruan Qing, everything is nothing more than a light weight.

Since the banquet, he has never met Cao Pi again, as if the two had never had any old friends. On the contrary, Cao Zhi looked for him twice, seeing that he didn't care much, he simply didn't come again.

He also rarely saw Cao Cao these days.He couldn't be like the old days when he could run to the other party for no reason and rely on him. He had his own servants to run errands to deliver the official business, and Cao Cao no longer summoned him as before when he didn't see him for a long time.

For a while, he couldn't find any reason to go to the other party's side.

The fear of being replaced because of Yuan Qing's appearance, and the fear of alienation after not seeing him for more than ten years hang over his head and heart all the time.But he had to suppress all his emotions and let himself be calm and rational.

He often copied Cao Cao's handwriting when he was free.Almost stubbornly wanted to make the font similar to Cao Cao's, as if this would preserve the special connection between him and Cao Cao.

He played "Wen Wang Cao" over and over again, recalling the countless pleasant times when Cao Cao taught him how to play the piano.

He studied books every day until midnight or even the whole night.The art of war, poetry, and various classics.I hope that when I talk to Cao Cao someday in the future, I can answer fluently, and I can get closer to the other party, and get closer.

These were all things he hated and taught by Cao □□.But now he picks it up again like crazy.

He often looked at the distant sky outside the window while panting, but felt that it was too cramped and made him breathless.I also feel more and more small in this group of palaces and towers.

He felt that his heart was getting colder, his mind became calmer, his soul seemed to be floating outside the world, and he watched his body mediate in the world indifferently.

He saw himself rummaging through all the official documents because he wanted to see Cao Cao, trying to find a mistake or inadequacy.But it was extremely clear that there was a transparent wall between him and Cao Cao, blocking his courage again and again.

He vaguely felt that he was standing face to face with Cao Cao, although they were close at hand, there seemed to be countless horizons.Trying hard to narrow the distance between myself and the other party, but I feel overwhelmed and powerless.

But he can't express all emotions.

He is too clear that what Cao Cao needs is not an aide who is too emotional.

He can only make himself appear indestructible and calm, to tell Cao Cao that he is reliable, to prove that he can perfectly handle whatever the other party arranges for him.Only in this way, Cao Cao would value him, and perhaps, would be willing to get close to him.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to be sick, but when he thought about it, he didn't notice anything wrong.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has appointed several servants to assist Ruan Qing in his work, or to pass on letters. One of them is only in his early twenties, and he is the most lively on weekdays. He often tells Ruan Qing interesting things about the Prime Minister's Mansion. The only scene in this world with a touch of color.

"Does the master know that Yinger is here?"

The little servant who was cleaning the house and talking about gossip suddenly said.

Ruan Qing's eyes hurt from reading, he closed his eyes and pressed the bridge of his nose, and said calmly, "I don't know. Who is it?"

"It's the dancer from the prime minister's residence." The servant said.

The reason why he dared to gossip around Ruan Qing was because of Ruan Qing's indulgence.

Originally, when he was assigned to work here, he had been apprehensive for a long time, thinking that Master Ruan was a very difficult master to serve, but he did not expect to be so easy to deal with.Never scold them easily.Seeing that these servants have been working for a long time, they will be asked to go down and rest for a while.

In short, he likes his current master very much.

But in his opinion, this master is good in everything. He is good-looking, knows etiquette, and can handle official duties. The only bad thing is that he never smiles and always keeps a cold face, as if he is overwhelmed by a big worry. in the heart.

Therefore, he always likes to pick some funny things to tell this master. Although the other party has never laughed, this does not prevent him from liking this master more.

It's rare to say that you have fun and don't dislike him.

"Among the dancers raised by the prime minister's mansion, she is the best dancer. The prime minister usually likes her the most. Unfortunately, I heard that she seemed to like a guard. The prime minister had intended to promote that guard when he saw it. Unfortunately, the guard did not live up to expectations and delayed the military plane. , the prime minister was furious and wanted to kill him.

When Lai Yinger found out, she begged the prime minister to ask her to die on behalf of the guard, and told the secret of the two of them.The prime minister was grateful for Lai Yinger's righteousness, so he asked Lai Yinger to train a singing and dancing troupe as good as hers and allowed her to die for the guard. "

After finishing speaking, the servant couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Lai Ying'er is really a woman who values ​​love and righteousness. If I meet a beautiful woman like her, my life will not be in vain."

Ruan Qing paused with his fingers rubbing the bridge of his nose, he opened his eyes to look at the servant, and asked, "Does the prime minister like Lai Yinger's dancing skills very much?"

"Of course." The servant said, "otherwise, how could the prime minister spare her."

Ruan Qing dropped her hands, remained silent as if thinking about something, and said after a while, "How should I meet Lai Yinger."

The prime minister's mansion has the rules of the prime minister's mansion, the officials in the front yard can't go to the back yard, but as long as they think of a way, they can always meet people.

It's not easy to meet at the prime minister's mansion, and it's not good for him to invite people into the mansion, so he found a restaurant and booked a room.

He arrived a little earlier, and after waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door.After answering the sound of 'enter', the door was opened, and a woman dressed in elegant clothes and beautiful appearance came in gracefully, and saluted him, "Master Ruan."

"Sit down." Ruan Qing said.

Lai Yinger sat across from him, her voice was like an oriole out of the valley, clear and sweet, no wonder Cao Cao liked it.

"I don't know why Mr. is looking for a concubine?"

Ruan Qing's fingers hidden in his sleeves rubbed each other, his face was still calm, "This time I invite the girl here because I have something to ask for."

Lai Yinger couldn't help but smile, "I'm a humble concubine, how can I help you sir."

"I want to learn dancing skills from you." He pushed the tip bag on the case towards the other party, "There is thirty gold in it, and I will be rewarded with a lot of money after I finish my studies."

Lai Ying'er covered her lips and smiled, "Mr. I'm afraid you don't know that this money is useless to Ying'er."

"I know." Ruan Qing said, "but Wang Tu is still alive afterward. If you love someone, you are willing to die generously for them, but you cannot help but worry about the other person's life after your death. Girl loves Wang Tu deeply, so why not ?"

Lai Ying'er listened, smiled lightly, and looked at Ruan Qing with a bit of sincerity in her eyes, she said slowly, "It turns out that Mr. is also a loving person."

"I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have a good foundation. It won't take too much energy for the girl. In addition, when the girl is trained into a singing and dancing troupe, the deal with the girl will be over at that time, and the girl's time will not be delayed. In the future, Wang Tu , and I have the strength to promote him. What do you think, girl?"

Lai Ying'er said, "Mr. is so considerate, it's hard for me to refuse. But I need to make an agreement in advance. I don't have much time to teach my husband."

"You don't have to worry about that." Ruan Qing said, "No matter how well you study, I won't blame the girl."

"Okay." Lai Ying'er picked up the kit on the case, and said thoughtfully, "Concubine, let me ask one more question, Mr. is so hardworking, presumably it is for the one I love."

"En." Ruan Qing responded lightly.

"Does the prime minister know?"

Seeing Ruan Qing looking at her in surprise, Lai Ying'er said with a smile, "Most of the people who learn to dance for the sake of their sweetheart are daughters, and men like Mr. are rare. Other concubines don't know, but the prime minister likes concubine's dancing skills very much. Prime Minister Xiong Cai Weilue, if the master is learning dance for the prime minister, it wouldn't be surprising."

"The prime minister's birthday is coming soon." Ruan Qing smiled slightly, "I hope that the girl will not let others know."

"Okay." Lai Yinger responded with a smile.

The school affairs office was an inspection agency designed by Cao Cao to prevent chaos from officials when he established his capital in Xuchang. At first, it was led by Guo Jia, and after Guo Jia's death, it was held in Cao Cao's hands all the time.

The business of the school office is strong, and what the officials did in the morning can be sent to Cao Cao's case in a short while.

Cao Cao ordered the school affairs office to investigate the incident of frightening the horses at the banquet, and within a day the petty official who raised the horses was arrested.

Cao Cao had been involved in conspiracy for many years, so he naturally didn't believe that only a small official was involved, so he still ordered severe torture.A few days later, Xiaoguan finally couldn't bear it anymore and revealed his accomplice.

So a confidential letter was sent to Cao Cao's case.

Cao Cao commanded Xu Chu to lead his troops to search Ruan Yu's mansion, but found a letter secretly communicating with Ma Chao in Xiliang in the mansion of the other party. According to the handwriting, it was written by Ruan Yu, so Ruan Yu was jailed.

One day Cao Pi heard that Ruan Yu was imprisoned because of his involvement in Ma Chao, and he was discussing with Sima Yi at the mansion. He didn't want a servant from the prime minister's mansion to come suddenly and say that Cao Cao called Cao Pi to come over.

Cao Pi was startled, and said calmly, "You wait in the front hall first, and I'll go over right away after changing clothes."

Seeing that the boy had left, he paced back and forth restlessly, "Father is looking for me, presumably because of Yuan Yu (Ruan Yu). Yuan Yu is my aide, so my father must think that I ordered it."

"Did you ever give orders?" Sima Yi sat on the table and looked up at the anxious Cao Pi and asked.

"How could I do such a stupid thing!" Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi in shock.

Sima Yi said, "What is the young master so anxious about?"

"I know Yuan Yu. He will never cooperate with the enemy." Cao Pi frowned slightly, his eyes darkened, "The details I arranged for Cao Zhi's mansion said that Yuan Qing and the little official who raised horses had a close relationship on a daily basis. It's not that I don't know that Qing and Cao Zhi have a good relationship with you. This time, maybe Cao Zhi is making trouble for me. He wants to use the matter of Ma Teng's arrest to trip me up."

Sima Yi twirled the corner of his clothes with his fingers and pondered for a moment, before asking, "This time the prime minister went to the young master, did the young master think that Ruan Yu couldn't stand the punishment and falsely accused the young master?"

"Impossible." Cao Pi said, "Ruan Yu has been with me for many years, and he would never betray me. What's more, I have never done this with him. How could he want to frame me?"

"In short..." Sima Yi said, "If you see the prime minister, you still need to be careful in answering. No matter how the prime minister presses you, you must not say that this matter is related to you."

"Okay." Cao Pi nodded and looked closely at Sima Yi.

"Bring another attendant over there." Sima Yi said worriedly again, "If the prime minister really punishes the young master severely for this matter, you might as well ask Mr. Ruan Qing to come forward. He is the person that the prime minister values ​​most. With him around, the prime minister will always be scruples." Maybe I will remember the affection of the deceased eldest son."

Since he became an adult, Cao Pi moved out of the prime minister's mansion and had his own mansion.He came to the prime minister's mansion, entered the courtyard, and walked into the study. Cao Cao was sitting at the head, with an expressionless face, making it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Father." He concealed his anxiety and saluted respectfully.

Cao Cao raised his eyes coldly, looked at Cao Pi at the bottom of the stairs, and asked in a low voice, "What has Pi'er been doing at home lately?"

Cao Pi replied cautiously, "The sons and ministers are all dealing with the affairs arranged by the father, and do some poetry in their spare time."

When Cao Cao heard this, he snorted coldly. In this silent room, it was creepy for no reason.

Throwing the bamboo slips that had been copied from the case to Cao Pi mercilessly, hitting the opponent's thigh, the bamboo slips fell to the ground with a clatter, and the sound was frightening.

Cao Pi bowed his head, enduring the pain, not daring to move.

"Look, this is from Ruan Yu's house in your house."

Cao Pi picked it up, looked at it, and looked at Cao Cao with a shocked expression, "This, this, how could this happen? Father, could it be a mistake? Why did Yuan Yu vote for Ma Chao?"

"You are still pretending to be confused." Cao Cao leaned forward slightly, stretched his arms, and pointed at Cao Pi resentfully, "Ruan Yu has been with you for many years, don't you still recognize the words on it? Ruan Yu is a subordinate, If it wasn't for someone's instigation, how could he have the guts to do this!"

"Could the father be suspecting Ruan Yu who was instigated by the child?" Cao Pi looked disbelieving.

Cao Cao sneered again, "Ruan Yu's master, isn't it you?"

Cao Pi knelt down with a thud, and his knee hit the ground hard, making his scalp numb when he heard a muffled sound.

"Ruan Yu has assisted his son for many years, but how could his son contact Ma Chao?" He growled sadly.

Cao Cao's gaze remained calm, he stared at Cao Pi coldly, and said indifferently, "When you grow up, you should also have the ambition of a young man."

"No." Cao Pi suppressed tears in his peach blossom eyes, he shook his head firmly and said sadly, "My child has never had any thoughts that he shouldn't have."

"Admit it." Cao Cao sighed softly, "I don't blame you. Ruan Yu has already pointed you out."

"I didn't do it, how can I recognize it?" Cao Pi asked.

"Okay." Cao Cao slapped the table, "If you refuse to admit it, don't blame Gu for being cruel."

The young man brought by Cao Pi stood outside the door. Seeing that Cao Pi was kneeling down in the court under the pressure of his servants, and another servant came with a stick, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly followed the previous order to find Ruan Qing to come and help.

Yuan Qing followed Cao Cao all the time, seeing Cao Pi in such a mess, he felt a lot of pleasure in his heart.Seeing someone leaving in a hurry outside the courtyard, they could see that they were people who often followed Cao Pi. They were afraid to call Mrs. Bian or other rescuers in the backyard, so seeing that Cao Cao was not paying attention, he hurriedly walked out along the corridor under the house.

Cao Cao didn't realize that Yuan Qing had left, he was standing on the steps outside the door, looked at Cao Pi coldly, and asked, "Is Pi'er still refusing to say anything?"

Cao Pi looked up at his father's indifferent face, his heart gradually turned cold, but he still insisted, "I have nothing to say."

"Okay. It's the old man's son. It depends on how long you can last." After finishing speaking, Cao Cao raised his hand to signal.

The people on the side were ordered to raise their sticks.

Ruan Qing had already handled today's official duties properly, and now she was copying Cao Cao's handwriting stroke by stroke, one person who was caught off guard rushed into his room, knelt down on the ground and begged repeatedly, "Mr. Ruan, help me."

Ruan Qing's hands trembled, and she pulled the elder one last.He put down his pen and looked at the person kneeling in the room, and said indifferently, "I don't know you."

"The villain is the person next to the eldest son." The young man raised his head and said, "Today, the prime minister summoned the young master. The young master was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the gate of the prime minister's mansion, so he told the villain that if there is something wrong, he must come and ask Mr. Ruan to help him." Just now, the villain saw the prime minister make someone press the young master to kneel in the courtyard outside the courtyard, I am afraid that he wants to punish him with a stick."

Hearing that it was about Cao Pi, Ruan Qing's eyes that had been silent all this time became a little turbulent, "Speak clearly, why did the prime minister find the eldest son to come here, and why did he punish the eldest son?"

The boy hurriedly explained the cause and effect of what he knew.

Ruan Qing's face darkened after hearing this.

Seeing Ruan Qing's gloomy face and not speaking for a long time, the boy couldn't help feeling uneasy, and called out tentatively, "Sir?"

"I'll go with you." Ruan Qing got up and walked out quickly.The boy was startled, and hurriedly followed.

Ruan Qing walked hurriedly along the way, with a serious expression on her face.

He didn't believe that Cao Pi would really have an affair with Ma Chao, probably because someone wanted to pour this pot of dirty water on Cao Pi.But after all, Cao Cao is in charge of his son. It is not easy for him to intervene as a foreign minister, but he has to.Cao Pi... After all, he was the child Cao Ang once brought up with his own hands.When he was young, he also snuggled up to him and softly called him elder brother.As long as he still remembers his past friendship with Cao Ang, it is impossible for him to completely ignore Cao Pi.

He was approaching Cao Cao's courtyard, but was suddenly stopped by Yuan Qing who appeared halfway.

"Master Ruan stay here." Yuan Qing stood in front of him.

Ruan Qing's expression became more and more cold, and there was a little bit of vigilance in her eyes, "What are you going to do?"

Yuan Qing smiled, and said calmly, "Now the prime minister is lecturing the eldest son, and no one is there."

With Yuan Qing obstructing him, Ruan Qing sensed that Cao Pi's current situation should not be very good.

His eyes became more and more gloomy, like the water in the cold winter condensed into ice, shooting towards Yuan Qing.Yuan Qing was not afraid, and despite Ruan Qing's hostility, a pair of water pupils met Ruan Qing's gaze with a smile.

The two were deadlocked.

The servant at the side looked anxiously, and called out worriedly, "Sir."

"What if I insist on seeing the prime minister?" Ruan Qing asked.

"Don't you, sir, claim to be the most loyal to the prime minister? Why..." Yuan Qing sarcastically said, "Are you going to disobey the prime minister's order now?"

"Is this an order from the prime minister, or a fake order from you, Yuan Qing?"

"How dare a villain forge a prime minister's decree." Yuan Qing pretended to be frightened, then looked at Ruan Qing and smiled slowly, "After all, a villain has been with the prime minister for almost ten years, how could he not know the crime of forging a prime minister's decree?" ?”

Ruan Qing immediately heard that the other party was provoking him.

So what if you, Ruan Qing, have been with the prime minister for ten years?I, Yuan Qing, have been with the Prime Minister for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Qing's voice became more and more gloomy, "Get out of the way."

"The prime minister asked me to guard this place and not allow anyone..."

Before Yuan Qing finished speaking, Ruan Qing went around.

Yuan Qing widened his eyes, and stood in front of Ruan Qing again, "Master Ruan, you can violate it, ah!"

Accompanied by Yuan Qing's exclamation was a loud slap.

Ruan Qing grabbed Yuan Qing's collar who was covering his cheeks, deer pupils overflowed with repressed anger.

Leaning closer to Yuan Qing, he looked into the other's terrified pupils.
