Powerful ministers are husbands

An agreement was reached, and the next thing will proceed step by step.

Cao Lu sent someone back to the imperial capital to invite Dr. Kong, and agreed to meet in the village where Dr. Ye lived.He stayed with Pang Miao in Zhuangzi for a few days while he was preparing the dry food for the boat to go back, never leaving his side.There was a lot of food and drink in the village, but there were not many things to play with. They were nothing more than knives, guns and sticks. Cao Lv put his arms around Pang Miao and taught him some simple sword moves. It was quite fun to play like this.

When he heard that the city of Yuezhou had calmed down, Cao Lv hurried back to the palace, and changed into a set of dark clothes in front of the saint, making him look depressed and gloomy.

He walked slowly through the Chaoshou verandah, and all the people he met along the way quickly stepped aside and saluted him tremblingly.

Although they didn't understand at all why General Cao seemed in a bad mood.

Some guessed that it was caused by illness, and some guessed that General Cao and the Holy Master had played together since they were young. To be disrespectful, they have been friends for many years. If something happened to the Holy Majesty, General Cao was naturally depressed.

Cao Lu's ears were sharp, and the whispers of the people behind him were heard, which turned into a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

No amount of years of friendship can compare to suspicion.

The lieutenants in charge of leading the army to quell the rebellion this time are all his father or his confidantes whom he cultivated over the years. What happened to him when he killed the enemy, the Holy One didn't say it intentionally or unintentionally, but he had already heard about it .

King Yan was caught in an ambush and was caught off guard. When he was seriously injured and was about to escape, he said a few words to the Holy Majesty, who was watching coldly while surrounded by heavy guards.

"It doesn't matter if the king loses today. Your Majesty, be careful that no one can contain Cao Lv in the future and let his family dominate. It would be a shame for all ages if your country finally fell into the hands of someone with a foreign surname. I'm sorry for my ancestors."

Yan Wang will also take the Cao family to walk the road of Huangquan together after his death, which will make the relationship between the monarch and his ministers even worse.

When he was a teenager, he was full of vigor, and he was full of how to fight on the battlefield and serve the country.Later, one day, I understood the truth that no merit can be overshadowed by the Lord, but at that time, I was already in a high position, and what I could do was to behave in a low-key manner, treat people indifferently, and put a few brothers-in-law in the family in insignificant official positions.But at that time, he was also full of confidence, and felt that with 20 years of friendship, it was unlikely that the Holy Majesty would be suspicious.

Until A Miao told about the past life, the Cao family suffered a catastrophe. Is it true that the military power was seized at that time, and the king of Yan deliberately planted and framed him and charged him with countless crimes?The most important thing is that there was a gap in the Holy Majesty's heart, coupled with the spread of rumors by those with good intentions, fueling the flames, the Holy Majesty believed in those trumped-up charges, and let the Cao family fall into the abyss indifferently.

These are not difficult to guess, so since then he has really taken precautions and paved the way for himself.

His meritorious deeds are just to show his ambitions; he stands in the court and assists the Holy One, also in order to revive and prosper this aging country.

If he ends up in a disaster of ruin and ruin, then he will be broken when he is done, he has no nostalgia, even the chilling feeling is just a momentary feeling, fleeting, and it is not worth the effort to be an unworthy person, and he does not want to be one A traitor who seeks to usurp the throne.

This road seemed very long, and he walked slowly, as if he was tearing apart the past bit by bit.Until the footsteps stopped outside the door of the Holy Lord's bedroom, the connection between them was only this thread.

The waiter waiting at the door was surnamed Wen, and he had been in the imperial court for some years.In this turmoil, Eunuch Yun, who was serving Queen Zhao, also suffered, so he replaced him.He saw that the person who came was actually General Cao who hadn't shown his face for a long time, he saluted respectfully, and then entered the hall to report to the Holy Majesty.

Eunuch Wen originally thought that the Holy Majesty was not in the mood to summon General Cao, but unexpectedly the Holy Majesty was in a daze for a while, and beckoned for someone to come in.

He even gestured and winked to General Cao to express that the Holy Majesty was in a very bad mood right now, and he had to go through the words in his head and weigh them before he said them.

Cao Lu nodded slightly and stepped into the hall.It was obviously the sunniest time of the day, but the doors and windows in the hall were closed, the curtains were hanging down, and the darkness seemed to be approaching dusk. He walked slowly around the curtains and finally saw the figure huddled on the throne.

I hadn't seen him for more than ten days, the holy majesty who was once bright like the morning sun was very decadent, his expression was extremely haggard, and it could be seen from his red eyes that he had not slept well for several days, his body was reclining weakly on the position, wearing a luxurious dragon pattern clothes The robe was loosely draped, somewhat similar to the gangsters who roam the streets all day long.

Hearing the sound of light and slow footsteps, Zhuan Sun Yongde raised his head slowly, and his dim eyes swept over Cao Lu's face, which was also not very good.

"You're here." His voice was hoarse, and he pointed at the chair next to him, "Sit down."

Cao Lu didn't listen to him, and stood still a dozen steps away.

Zhuan Sun Yongde ignored him, and said to himself: "I saved the country, but lost the person I love the most. They rummaged through the ruins for many days, but everything was turned into ashes, and it was impossible to tell the difference between Han Jin and Jin Yun. The bones... I have ordered to build a grave for them on the spot, so that they can at least have a place to rest." His eyes became redder, tears pooled in their sockets, and he looked at Cao Lv as if begging for comfort, "I didn't Without the queen, without the crown prince, they all suggested that I put away my sorrow, return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and take care of the complicated political affairs after the turmoil..."

Cao Lv didn't speak, and quietly looked back at the mourning Holy Majesty.

Zhuan Sunyong wiped his eyes with his sleeve indiscriminately, "I've thought about it for a long time, maybe I can get out of the grief by leaving this place as soon as possible. Ah Lu, let's go back, this southern tour is a nightmare that should end immediately. He got up and walked towards Cao Lv, not wanting his clothes to slip off his shoulders and pile up at his feet, tripping him under the throne, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't help himself.

"Your Majesty," Cao Lu stepped forward to help him up, but his voice was as cold as the frost and snow in the twelfth lunar month of winter, "You lost your beloved, so why not you? I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you back to Beijing."

Zhuan Sun Yongde's hands trembled suddenly, and he waited for Cao Lv in astonishment, "What did you... say?"

Seeing the ignorance that the sage pretended to be, what else could Cao Lv do besides lamenting that everyone in the court is a good singer?

"There was a man who knew the dangers of the southern tour, and he was worried, so he traveled thousands of miles to look for me. However, after arriving at the border of Jiangnan, I lost track of him. To me, he is a love that cannot be lost. I can't find him. I can't find him. I will never be able to get out of it." He made up a lie according to the meaning of the Holy One, "I want to stay here, no matter where the world is, whether it is life or death, we must find him. Maybe we once laughed at Xue Weikai for being too ignorant and absurd , but when things really happened to him, he felt that he hadn’t done enough.”

Zhuan Sun Yongde looked at Cao Lv in a daze, his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't utter a word.

Cao Lu knelt down on one knee, "I am trapped by love and cannot bear the great trust of the Holy Majesty. I am ashamed, please punish me by the Holy Majesty."

Zhuan Sun Yongde looked at Cao Lv, and said, "Ah Lv, you can send someone to look for it, you don't have to go there yourself."

"I want to find it myself, it is irreplaceable by others." Cao Lv insisted.

"How long are you looking for?" Zhuan Sunyong asked impatiently.

Cao Lv replied: "A few days, a few months, maybe ten years, 20 years, whether it is a living person or a pile of bones, I will definitely see him. Your Majesty, I am ashamed of the emperor's kindness, and dare not live here again." The high position, the corpse is a vegetarian meal, please remove the official position of the minister."

This time, Zhuan Sun Yongde was really stunned.He never expected that Cao Lv would directly request to be dismissed from office, and everything went so smoothly.It went so well that he didn't think it was true - if Cao Lv no longer served as the general of the left guard and participated in political affairs, the Cao family would have no threat at all.

The person who "married" into the Cao family in place of his younger sister could really make Cao Lv love so much that he was willing to give up his glory and wealth?

When he made this childish and absurd move, he suspected that he would not succeed, so he just tried it casually.

"Ah Lu, do you really... love this person?" He asked hesitantly.

Cao Lv sighed: "Please forgive me for saying something rude, isn't the Holy Majesty the most able to understand the feeling of deep affection?"

Zhuan Sun Yongde was speechless.

Indeed, if he hadn't been the king of a country, he would have wished to go to hell with Queen Zhao.

It seems that this ridiculous move is right.

"Alu, you are so persistent, I have no reason to refute." After a long time, Zhuan Sun Yongde lowered his head, feeling even more sad, "If one day you find someone, you must return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. you."

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Cao Lu bowed to the ground and saluted.

"Go, I will issue an order later." Zhuan Sun Yongde sighed faintly, waved his hand, feeling uncomfortable.

Cao Lu stood up, and at the moment he turned around, he was keenly aware of the stern look in the eyes of the Holy One.

Up to this point, he was still suspicious.

Zhuan Sun Yongde looked at Cao Lv who was turning his back, and quietly clenched his palms.

Cao Lv left the court as he imagined, but is the throne really safe?Will the people of the Li people gradually forget that there was a General Cao who defended his home and country and fought bloody battles?Will he no longer say that he is a mediocre king who relies on his courtiers?If one day, Cao Lv returns to the court, will he return to the original point?

The more delusional he was, the more uneasy he became.

At this moment, Cao Lv stopped, his tall and tall figure was like a proud pine and cypress, he turned his head, and looked calmly and indifferently at the holy majesty who was intent on killing.

"The minister is not in the court, so he can no longer serve the Holy Majesty, but please rest assured, the Holy Majesty, whether it is the generals stationed at the frontier, or the forbidden army guarding the imperial city, they will be safe from all the rivers and mountains in the country."

Zhuan Sun Yongde was so startled that his heart almost lost his beating.

Cao Lu was threatening him. Although he didn't say it clearly, he could hear it.

Even though Cao Lv was alone, he still couldn't move.

How many of those brave generals are not inextricably linked to the Cao family?If Cao Lu is safe and sound, the generals from all directions will serve the country loyally; if something happens to Cao Lu, I'm afraid...

Cao Lu's figure disappeared behind the curtain, and he laughed coldly as if mocking himself.

In the end, he still lost. Cao Lv was always the one who could control the chess game, but it was the best ending, so let him go.
