Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Cao's ship going north turned a corner at the mouth of Bohai Sea.

"I'm very sorry, master." The young man of the spy department knelt in the hall of the Dingyuan, "It is clear that the Central Plains is urgent, and we still intercept the master's ship, we, we...but Mrs. Tai..."

"Get up." A Sheng raised his hand above him, "You were asked to invite me after the Liaodong governors voted on it. And it's up to me whether I want to go back to Liaodong or not."

The frightened young man was dragged down by Luo Chi to wash his face and change clothes, while Ah Sheng walked to the window.A ray of sunlight poured in from the circular window, making the cabin seem dim.

"Yuanfeng, I thought you would object."

Qin Liu stood behind her, as if a shadow had suddenly gained life. "Does the master want Liu to object? Then please forgive me, the one who makes a big deal doesn't care about personal relationships. Mrs. Wu is eighty and eighty years old, a rare longevity in the world, and her only son Cao Song is taking care of the funeral in Liaodong, so there is no need for the master." The grandchildren will go there in person."

Ah Sheng turned around, his left cheek was brightly illuminated by the sun. "But you didn't say it just now."

"There are benefits of not attending funerals, and there are benefits of attending funerals. The master has been safe since childhood. I'm afraid you will be too sad."

Ah Sheng was silent for a long time before striding out of the conference hall. "Send a fast boat and pass on my order. Order all ethnic groups in Liaodong: Dongxianbei, Fuyu, Juwo, Sanmi, and Sanhan to send a hundred people from each mission to Dalian to worship; order Dalian Workshop to tailor mourning clothes for the mission; order The entire territory of Liaodong was under martial law, on the 1th the defense was changed to Jilin County, Lu Bu was changed to Wuli City [[-]], and Xu Rong was transferred back to Dalian Port."

At this point, is there still a simple white matter?Every move is to grab political interests.Even if her original intention was to see that proud old man for the last time.

This year's summer has been exceptionally hot with little precipitation.Even Dalian, where the sea breeze blows, is shrouded in scorching heat.Severe winter and three volts are the natural enemies of the elderly.No matter how well maintained it is, no matter how rich the clothing and food are, it may be lost in extreme weather.

Wu Shi hadn't died yet, she was lying on the couch sweating profusely, breathing heavily.There is an ice basin in the room, someone is playing a fan, the clothes and bamboo mats are the coolest, the house is the most ventilated and the cleanest, and the medical officer is the best, but nothing can stop Wu Shi from sweating, as if her life force is all at the same time. Sweat flowed away.

Cao Song, who was over sixty years old, personally fed his adoptive mother medicine and fanned her to let her fall into a light sleep.However, the heat spoiled the old man's appetite, and the amount of rice soup Wu could drink became less and less day by day. Two days ago, he could only drink water.

Cao Song was in tears, his mother's death at his age would have been considered a happy event, if the mother passed away without illness or disaster in a dream.But it seems that no matter whether it is Cao Teng or the Wu family, they will be tortured before they die.

After the day, Wu also knew that he was dying. After 30 years, are you finally going to see Cao Jixing?She should have been happy, but the desire for survival carved in her bones by court life was like a poisonous snake, driving her to wake up on the bed every day.

On the last day, she opened her eyes and saw Cao Sheng standing in the backlight.

"What are you here for?" Wu opened her mouth and shouted, with only a weak breath, but her strength of character was still there. "This year is going to be a severe drought, have you stored water? Have you leveled the price of food? There is a shortage of food in Geely, come here. I borrowed it five times, and the envoy almost got into a fight with the food officer. There are so many things waiting for you to do, why do you come to see me, an old man? The benevolence of a woman!"

The summer wind blew Cao Sheng's clothes.She walked into the room step by step, and the white socks stepped on the wooden floor so lightly that there was no sound. "Grandmother is so sober." She sighed softly without tears.

"I hope I can grow old and confused." Wu Shi turned her head and showed Cao Sheng the back of her head, which was tightly coiled.The hair is all white, and even almost fell out, but it still needs to be neat and not messy.

"You never told me what you want." Cao Sheng's tone was gentle, but she had been in the top position for too long, no matter how gentle she was, it didn't have the respectful meaning of a junior to an elder, but like an emperor visiting an old minister.

Wu still turned her face to the wall, she opened her mouth to speak, but coughed violently.Ah Sheng quickly went up to give her back.Wu's body became so shriveled that every touch was full of ribs.After drinking water, she stopped coughing and lay back on the couch, still not looking at Ah Sheng.

"I, ahem, when I was young, I was in the palace. I was seven years old at that time," Wu raised her hand to make a gesture of seven, "the female official smashed Queen Yan's hairpin, and because she was afraid of being convicted, she pushed the blame away. To the little maids... The little maids pushed each other, and finally fell on my head. Twenty sticks, twenty sticks, I was beaten to a bloody mess. The one who was going to hit forty sticks was the Empress Dowager Deng who happened to see it and yelled to stop , and give me medicine."

Ah Sheng wiped the sweat on his grandmother's neck with a towel. "Then what?"

"The empress dowager made the decision, and asked me to kowtow twenty times to Empress Yan with my injuries, which was equivalent to the twenty rods behind. From then on, I am grateful to the empress dowager, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse. Although the empress dowager is a woman, she is 16 Years, governing floods and droughts internally, and controlling Qiang chaos externally, he can be called the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, not comparable to the descendants of Han emperors."

Ah Sheng put down the handkerchief, picked up the fan and fanned it slowly. "Then what?"

"The Empress Dowager Deng came from a famous family, and she is majestic. I thought this was the pinnacle of being a master..." Wu suddenly stopped when she said this, and her tone changed from sentimental to indifferent, "You go, I want to be buried with Ji Xing .”

Although Ah Sheng was puzzled, he still put down the bamboo fan. "The grandson takes the order."

Ah Sheng didn't notice that when she was leaving, Wu Shi suddenly turned to look at his back, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.Cao Sheng's jet-black hair crown was reflected on the teardrops, which gradually overlapped with the majestic figure in the phoenix crown and Chinese dress in Wu's memory.

When you are about to die, you may be able to pick up the already shattered pride from the ashes of 80 years ago, and dream wildly:

"In history, can my grandson beat Empress Deng?"

In Xia Qiyue, Cao Wu's Ying'e passed away in Dalian Port, and Cao's documents called it "Beng" [2].Liaodong, Xuantu, Lelang, and Jilin[3] The four counties and fifty cities lowered their flags to half-mast as a ceremony, while Fuyu, Juwo, and Dongxianbei were in mourning.In the same year, four canals were built to combat drought, and they were named Grandmother Canal.

White troops stationed in every village and county, mourning while doing disaster relief.It wasn't until mid-September, when the first autumn rain fell, that Liaodong ushered in the day of Wu's burial.The coffin made of nanmu was sealed in a temporary underground palace with a size of [-] square meters.A two-meter-high thousand-character inscription stands at the entrance of the tomb.

A Sheng kowtowed after Cao Song, kowtowed, and burned the silk.And when she kowtowed, the officials and generals at all levels who were watching the ceremony did not dare to stand up, and they all paid homage.As for the foreign missions under house arrest in Dalian, even under the threat of swords, they dared not kneel down.

Thousands of people cried together, and the scene was very spectacular for a while.In contrast, the small underground palace and tombstones look shabby.

"Grandmother left a last wish to be buried with grandfather. However, the Central Plains is in turmoil and the trip is not possible for now. Let's stop here and wait for the next day." A Sheng looked solemnly, looking at the dense white crowd, "I will be here A Meizhuang was built above the underground palace for fathers to live in filial piety. There are princes and grandsons of all ethnic groups who come to Dalian to study, so they can live together here."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the ranks of the mission.After a while, someone came out, and the one who stood up was Prince Jian of Buyeo.Fuyu is the most sinicized foreign race. As a nobleman of Buyeo, Jian Weiju speaks standard Chinese: "Dare to ask Duke Hua, does this mean you want us to send protons?"

Cao Sheng smiled, and replied as if the answer was irrelevant: "I am training the army, and I dare not slack off."

She took a step forward: "I rescue disasters and enrich the people, and I dare not slack off."

She took another step forward: "I promote culture and education, and I dare not slack off."

She stared into the eyes of the young prince: "Is it because I have any shortcomings that make you think Liaodong is not worth studying? Or, what inappropriate things did I do that make you think my ambition is not big enough?!"

"Brush." ​​The guards all clenched their weapons tightly, and the atmosphere was as tight as a bowstring stretched to its limit.

Jane only felt that her back was covered in cold sweat, and her calves were starting to feel weak. "me……"

As for the even hotter Xianbei mission, some young nobles were already blushing with anger, but they couldn't move because they were suppressed by their elders.

Ah Sheng laughed at this moment. "Relax, young man. No matter how unreasonable I am, I can't let you learn. Go back and tell your fathers and grandparents that my place is full of basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, classics and historical books, and only a few students are missing. Don't make it difficult for me. "

The tense atmosphere just now seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the elders in the various missions kept wiping the sweat from their foreheads and promised.

"Everyone came from afar, and happened to meet with the death of my grandmother, so I was wronged for not being able to receive a banquet."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Hey, out of the friendship of our neighbors, I will express my condolences for my grandmother. I will keep it in mind. I have rice, fine wine, and scriptures here, all of which are precious things that can be enshrined in the temple. I will give them back to you and express my heart."

The envoys looked at each other, and their hearts sank due to the sudden wind and drizzle, so they had to bow again: "Thank you, Duke Hua."

"Yeah." Ah Sheng closed his eyes and nodded towards the master of ceremonies.

The ceremony officer hastily shouted: "After the ceremony, leave the venue."

The white mourning team left the cemetery one by one under the guidance of the army. Those who were far away took off the white scarves on their heads and took off their linen coats at the little maid at the entrance of the cemetery.

Among them are Mrs. Sun Jian, Mrs. Wu and Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce insisted on wearing a white scarf around his head, but he was puzzled because he was Cao Zhen's fiancé.And the deceased Mrs. Tai was indeed of a high seniority.

"Second Uncle Cao is so majestic." Sun Ce followed Cao Zhen to call Uncle Second, his face was still mostly excited at this time, "Look at the little king of the Fen Clan, who dominates the Xianbei land, and when he comes in front of Uncle Second, he won't even be ashamed!" Don't dare to let it go."

Mrs. Wu quickly stopped her son: "Shut up. The Xianbei mission has not gone far, so they are not afraid of making enemies with others."

"The Xianbei invaders already have grudges." Sun Ce reluctantly lowered his voice, "Am I still afraid of him?"

Zhou Yu and Mrs. Wu exchanged a helpless look, and Sun Ce's straightforward temper might never be changed for the rest of his life.

"Bo Fu first knows how to love the people, and second, he knows how to love the clan. He is already much better than ordinary people. Why should Madam criticize him?" Ah Sheng's voice suddenly sounded nearby.

Mrs. Wu was startled, she turned around quickly, and saw Cao Sheng in fine linen mourning clothes walking towards this side. "Duke Hua." Mrs. Wu squatted down to salute, "Duke Hua is in danger of the whole place, and he still serves the full moon of mourning. He is truly filial."

A Sheng waved his hand, motioned for the three of the Sun family to walk, and said, "According to the etiquette system, I should mourn for my grandmother for one year. But I am not filial, and I should go south to Qingzhou tomorrow."

Zhou Yu quickly comforted him: "In the past, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty reformed the system, and the emperor never served a funeral for more than a month. Now the world is in chaos, and the princes from all over the world are still fighting endlessly even if their parents are dead. Don't you have filial piety? No, it's because of the situation that you don't dare to retreat a little bit."

This little wit can look.

"Gong Jin doesn't need to be jealous of the venerable. My elder brother and I lost our mother since we were young, and our father was busy with business. It was because of my grandmother that I was able to survive. Cao's twists and turns, like a boat sailing in a stormy sea, are all thanks to my grandmother's ability to discern the direction and never make mistakes. It must be inappropriate for me to not fully salute her kindness."

Mrs. Wu was surprised and said: "Mrs. Tai lives in seclusion, and I don't think she is a hero among women."

Ah Sheng stopped suddenly, pressed the corners of his eyes, and his tone regained his usual composure: "Ah Zhen will be in mourning in May, and the marriage will be postponed until next year. Wait until next summer, when Bo Fu just graduates from the school, so let's lead the army to Yanzhou .”

Sun Ce's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Is Second Uncle going to return the old department to me?"

Ah Sheng glanced at Zhou Yu, who was also unconcealedly excited: "Your one hundred and ten soldiers are a little short. I have already replenished you with four hundred horses from the three-year veterans, making up five hundred. This is a start. Family background, what kind of life you can live for Ah Zhen in the future depends on your ability."

"Second uncle, just watch!" Sun Ce jumped three feet high, "I will not be worse than Lu Fengxian in the future."
