As soon as Cao Pi took a carriage to the Tongque Palace, the carriage entered the gate. Cao Pi saw another carriage parked in front of the steps through the car window. His face suddenly sank. The carriage was clearly the carriage of his brother Cao Zhi. Why did he come?

Cao Pi couldn't help but feel annoyed. In order to find out his father's situation, he made great efforts. This time he learned from the imperial doctor that his father fainted. He didn't believe that his brother could spend his time bribing the spy like he did. How could he know that his father fainted was the one who asked him to come. If so, why didn't his father notify him.

The series of questions made Cao Pi more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He got off the carriage, said nothing, walked quickly to the Tongque Palace, and walked into a long corridor. At this time, a guard quietly walked forward and whispered to Cao Pi: "It was Xianniang who informed Zhigong to come."

It turned out to be my sister Cao Xian. Cao Pi knew that this sister was quick-witted and talented, and especially admired Jian'an Qi. Therefore, she had a good relationship with her brother. She had always served her father. With her around her, she could of course get news from her father in time. Cao Pi couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.

He walked to the inner hall and happened to meet his sister Cao Xian. Cao Xian's face was still tear marks and his eyes were red. When she saw her elder brother, she couldn't help but choke up, "Big Brother"

Cao Pi hurriedly held her and asked in a low voice: "How is my father's situation?"

"My father has woken up, but I only realized today that this is my second time fainting this month. It's all my fault, I don't care."

"If the close servant intentionally conceals it, you won't know, don't blame yourself."

Cao Pi comforted his sister softly. He glanced at the inner hall and asked as if nothing had happened: "Who is by my father's side?"

"My brother is by my father's side. When his father was in a coma, he kept calling his brother's name, so I asked someone to call me."

Cao Xian bit her lips gently, looked at the elder brother with some anxiety, and lowered her head. She knew that the elder brother would definitely be unhappy. Cao Pi patted her hand and smiled and said, "You are doing it right. At this time, we should care more about our father's health. If I can make my father happy, this is of course a good thing."

Cao Xian felt guilty and moved in his heart. She didn't expect that her elder brother was so reasonable and hurriedly said, "I'll report to my father on behalf of her elder brother."

She turned around and walked towards the inner hall, watching her sister's back disappear into the inner hall, Cao Pi's eyes immediately became cold and he snorted softly, he needed to transfer this sister away from his father.

Soon, Cao Zhi came out of the inner hall and there were tears on his face. When he saw his elder brother, he quickly bowed and said, "See brother."

Cao Pi smiled gently and asked again: "Are my father better?"

"I'm awake, just a little weak."

Cao Zhi sighed, "It's all my fault that I care less about my father."

Cao Pi nodded, "It's not just you, but I am the same."

At this time, Cao Xian walked out quickly and said to Cao Pi: "Brother, my father let you in."

Cao Zhi quickly gave a tribute, "Brother, please go and visit my father, I will say goodbye first."

"Go"

Cao Pi nodded and followed his sister into the inner hall. The inner hall was separated by a huge curtain curtain. Cao Cao's sickbed was in the inner room. At this time, Cao Cao was awake, but his body was a little weak. A concubine was carefully feeding him porridge. Cao Xian walked into the curtain curtain and whispered: "Father, the elder brother is here."

"Let him in"

Cao Xian opened the curtain and gave a wink at his brother. Cao Pi quickly walked into the inner room, knelt down on his knees, and couldn't help crying, "Father, the child is unfilial."

"Don't everyone cry when they see me, are I going to die?"

Cao Cao was a little upset, "Stop crying, get up."

"yes"

Cao Pi stood up and stood beside his father with his hands down. Cao Cao glanced at him thoughtfully, and then asked with a smile: "How do you know that you are not feeling well for your father?"

"I don't know. The child just came to my father to report government affairs. He only realized that his father fell ill after entering the Tongque Palace."

"Oh, so that's it. I didn't want you to worry about it at first, and it wasn't a big problem, so the guards were not allowed to tell it out. I didn't expect you all to know."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at his daughter, "It's all your fault that you are so sarcastic."

Cao Xian stuck out his tongue and quietly retreated. She was smart and knew that her elder brother was going to talk about government affairs with her father, so it was not appropriate for her to stay here. Seeing that she was smart, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded in praise, and his eyes turned to Chang, "If you have anything to report to me."

Cao Pi hesitated, "Let's wait until my father is in better health, let's talk about it."

"You might as well say it."

Cao Pi pondered for a moment and said, "The child originally wanted to report to his father about the militia."

Cao Pi temporarily decided to find an excuse to report on government affairs. The reason for choosing a delegation was because his uncle Cao Ren said in a secret letter that his father attached great importance to the militia. Sure enough, Cao Cao was excited and was eager to sit up. Obviously, Cao Pi's topic aroused his great interest.

Cao Pi quickly helped his father up and lay down halfway. Cao Cao smiled and said, "Speak."

"The child is already working on drafting the rules of the militia, but it involves a wide range of areas, including training, farming, taxation, labor, baojia, weapon management, military allocation, etc., which is very complicated, and the situations in different places are different, so the child can consider two plans. One is to copy the rules of the militia of the Han army. After all, they have been practicing in Jiangxia for many years and have rich experience, but we have no experience. As long as we modify it slightly based on our actual situation, the second plan is to pilot it first, such as conducting militia pilot in Ye County or Yingchuan County, and then fully promote it in one year. My father thinks these two plans."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, the second plan is relatively safe, but it will take a year to delay. This is something I can't accept. Well, just use the first plan, do it first, and then continue to modify it during implementation."

"There is this idea for the child to take advantage of the mature experience of the Han army. In addition, the child suggested setting up a special militia official office to unify the militia training. I don't know what my father wanted."

Cao Cao nodded, "It's totally OK, who do you think is better to let this matter be responsible?"

"The child suggested that Chen Qun and Yang Xiu be responsible for this matter."

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Chen Qun is good. He has rules and methods in his work. I believe he is completely competent, but Yang Xiu seems to be inappropriate. How could you think of him?"

Of course, Cao Pi would not say that it was to reconcile Cao Zhi's confidant. He explained: "The biggest characteristic of Yang Xiu is to ask others for mistakes because we don't understand the militia, and there may be problems in formulating rules. Most people will not point out even if they find problems, but Yang Xiu is not the case. His personality must be said, so the child considers asking him to ask him to ask for mistakes."

Cao Cao laughed, "It's good to have this idea. Okay, let Yang Xiu be the deputy and assist Chen Qun in running the militia well."

.........

Cao's father was discussing government affairs in the inner hall, but Cao Xian sat alone in the outer hall, thinking about his thoughts in a daze. She is eighteen years old this year and is at her last year of marriage. If she doesn't get married again, she will be older.

Although she is the prime minister's daughter, she also knows that her marriage cannot be decided by herself and is destined to be a political sacrifice. For example, her two sisters, Cao Jie and Cao Hua, both married the current emperor together, and it is obvious that her father was in order to strengthen control of the emperor.

Originally, my father wanted to marry her to Liu Xie, but he changed his mind at the last moment, which made Cao Xian secretly feel grateful. Of course, she did not want to marry that incompetent man, and it is said that he had a habit of Long Yang, which made Cao Xian deeply disgusted. More importantly, he could not even protect his wife and children, and such a man had no sense of security.

Cao Xian knew his father's deep meaning and wanted to marry her to Liu Jing. As early as two years ago, his father had this idea, but Liu Jing refused to agree. It's no wonder that anyone would like to marry the enemy's daughter from a woman's corner. Cao Xian also thought that Liu Jing was very attractive. He was young and promising, tall and heroic. Regardless of appearance, age, or his achievements, he was the husband that a woman dreamed of. I heard that he was not a lustful person. If he could marry such a husband, Cao Xian would be deeply happy.

But Cao Xian also knew that any woman could marry Liu Jing, but she couldn't, because she was Cao Cao's daughter. Sometimes she thought of Sun Shangxiang again. Liu Jing would be enemies with Sun Quan sooner or later, so what should Sun Shangxiang do if Sun Shangxiang did

This made her really difficult to make a decision. Perhaps it was not impossible, but it just needed a way.

Just as she was thinking, Cao Pi walked out of the inner hall, Cao Xian quickly got up and saluted. Cao Pi pointed outside, and she knew that her brother had something to say to her, so she followed her brother to the outside of the lobby.

Cao Pi smiled, "My father is fine, it's much better than I thought. I believe he will recover soon."

"I hope so too."

"Actually, every woman has the responsibility to relieve her father's worries, not only me, but you are the same." Cao Pi's tone was very gentle, but the content of the words was not easy.

Cao Xian nodded, "I know, I want to help my father too, but I don't know what to do. Can my brother give me some clarity?" She looked at her brother begging.

"You know that my father wants to marry you to Liu Jing. This is his greatest wish. Do you know why?"

"I don't know"

"Father hopes to leave one for the Cao family on you."

Cao Xian was silent. Only then did she understand the deep meaning of her father. She bit her lip and whispered: "I am willing to share my worries with my father, but I heard that Liu Jing doesn't want to, because I am the daughter of Cao."

"You're wrong"

Cao Pi smiled and said, "Liu Jing did not agree to this marriage, not because you are the daughter of Cao, but because he is unwilling to accept a political marriage again. He has married Sun Shangxiang and does not want to involve a second political marriage again. If he knows you and likes you, he will not care whose daughter you are."

"How do you know, brother?" Cao Xian asked in a low voice.

"I have eyeliners in Chengdu, so I naturally understand these things. I have to fight for some things by myself, so I can't always count on my father and brother."

After saying that, Cao Pi left. He knew that he had already said it, and it was up to his sister's choice.
