Chapter 101 Time to run
"Do you know who will be involved?"
Cao Miao stabilized his emotions and looked at Han Dong calmly. He hoped to train Han Dong to be a confidant, at least an ally, but it also depends on whether Han Dong has such ability. If Han Dong is just a brave man, it would not be worth his efforts.
Han Dong nodded. "I know a little bit, but I'm not sure, so I came to ask the prince for advice."
"Tell me."
Han Dong explained his thoughts. When he received the task, he realized that this might be a trap. The school affairs were the masters of the emperor, so how could he not know that Wu Qiu Jian was the emperor's confidant? But Han Dong had Han Dong's idea, and it was true that the emperor trusted Wu Qiu Jian, but the emperor did not trust Sima Yi. If Sima Yi could be found, he avoided Wu Qiu Jian, which could help the emperor with his inconvenient goal.
If you don’t check whoever you want to report, whether you want to report it, how to report it, the right to choose is in his hands.
"The emperor does not trust Sima Yi?" Cao Miao was surprised. He knew that Cao Rui was guarding against Sima Yi later, but the so-called defense was also a psychological habit, and it was later. Why do you have such an idea now?
Han Dong looked around and lowered his voice. "I'm not hiding it to the prince, Your Majesty actually doesn't believe it."
"Is that true?" Cao Miao smiled. Han Dong dared to say such things in front of him, which means he really regarded him as his benefactor and said everything he knew.
"Your Majesty has been following Emperor Wu to fight all directions since he was a child. His character is very similar to Emperor Wu and he is extremely suspicious. After he succeeded to the throne, the ministers deceived him at a young age, either based on the last orders of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, or based on the teachings of the saints, and set up obstacles everywhere. Your Majesty did not believe in them and could not leave them, so he could only endure it and secretly sent additional school affairs and strictly supervised it. This time, the school affairs were sent to Jingzhou to supervise the battle, but Lu Xun still came to the battlefield in Yangzhou. Your Majesty was very angry and suspected that Sima Yi did it on purpose, but he could not say it clearly, so he could only find other reasons to hit him. Checking Guanjun is a way."
Cao Miao was surprised. "Is this your own analysis?"
Han Dong shook his head awkwardly. "Most of it was Liu Gong's guidance, and a small part was what I thought about myself. I don't know if it's right, so I'll ask the prince for advice."
"Mr. Liu? Which Mr. Liu?"
"The prince should have seen it is the one who opened a shop in Jinshi. I often ask him to sharpen his knife, and it is still possible to negotiate. I often ask him to drink when I have nothing to do."
Cao Miao remembered it. It turned out to be the owner, who looked inconspicuous, but he didn't expect to have such an experience. He would talk to him next time he met.
"I think it's good, I don't need to talk too much." Cao Miao looked at Han Dong with a smile. "It seems that you are not brainless, but you don't need it before. You can teach me, and your future is limitless."
Han Dong smiled embarrassedly.
Cao Miao raised his water cup. "Then I will use water instead of wine to strengthen your career. I will wait for you to return, get a raise, and then celebrate your achievements."
"I dare not, I dare not." Han Dong bowed to the ground.
——
After seeing Han Dong away, Cao Miao sat alone for a long time.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. The situation was far more complicated than he imagined. Not only was the aristocratic family sophisticated, Cao Rui was also a scheming boy. Even the inconspicuous shop owner, Lao Liu, had an unthinkable knowledge, and none of them were good at it.
The Three Kingdoms are indeed hidden and creeping tigers, and there are many talents. If you think you can walk sideways with a little foresight, you may not know how you die.
Be low-key in life, otherwise you will die ugly.
——
For several days, Cao Miao stayed in the door and didn't even go out of the courtyard. He just studied and practiced martial arts in the courtyard, practiced morning exercises, and practiced late. In addition to practicing with Ah Hu and others, he also began to practice flying claws.
Most houses in the past are not high these days, and there is no need to use flying claws. Cao Miao can use parkour skills to fly over the eaves and walk around the walls. However, he has always been cautious and likes to keep more hands on everything, so he not only practices flying claws, but also practices very diligently. After a few days of kung fu, he initially mastered the usage skills, and the rest is only proficiency.
Shi Caiying is very fascinated by Cao Miao's parkour skills. She also practices light body skills, and claims to be very good at practicing, and is the best among her companions. However, compared to Cao Miao's parkour, she is more skillful than Cao Miao. In terms of skills alone, she may not be better than Cao Miao.
The two have more common language and often compete in the middle of the night.
Not long after, rumors of haunted rumor spread in the Yongqiu Palace.
In fact, there have been many sneaky figures recently in the Yongqiu Palace. There are school affairs sent by Yin Mo to steal the Yu Xiao Seal, as well as other people who have bad intentions.
With the Four Hu Ji, and A Hu, a young master with a small skill, no one can gain a foothold in the yard. He is good at playing with A Hu and Four Hu Ji, and can play one or two moves. He is a little weak, and he doesn't even see where his opponent is, so he falls into the plot and retreats in shame.
Half a month later, Yin Mo gave up and passed a message to Cao Miao saying, "I don't have the ability to take the Jade Owl Seal, so I have to report to the emperor. However, considering the prince's sincerity, I am willing to leave some time to give the prince the opportunity to report on his own initiative."
Cao Miao also knew that this matter could not be hidden, and Yin Mo could not bear this risk for him. He handed over the Jade Owl Seal to Cao Zhi and asked him to give it to Cao Rui, and said that he didn't know who sent it, nor did he know what the other party meant. He presented it to His Majesty. You can deal with it as much as you like.
Cao Rui received the Jade Owl Seal and said nothing, but gave me some things, including a hundred kilograms of gold, three hundred pieces of brocade and silk, and some utensils made by the Shangshu. The reason was not related to the Jade Owl Seal, but he was pity for Cao Miao for many years of illness and expressed his condolences.
The edict was passed on to the statue of Zhen, the general of the Hu Ben.
Zhen Si was the son of Emperor Zhen, Cao Rui's cousin, and the head of the Zhen family in Wuji, Zhongshan. He passed the imperial edict to express the emperor's attention.
Although Cao Miao was the main lord rewarded by the emperor, Cao Miao did not show up. He refused to attend on the grounds of emotional instability. Cao Zhi was in the palace again, so Mrs. Xie and Cao Zhi could only come forward to receive her. Although Mrs. Xie had no official title, Zhen Xiangchang walked in the palace. Knowing the relationship between Mrs. Xie and the Empress Dowager, he did not dare to neglect her and treated her as a princess. As for Cao Zhi, he treated her as the prince.
Although Cao Miao is the eldest son, he is a patient, and the possibility of inheriting the title of king is infinitely zero. It is almost a foregone conclusion that Cao Zhi becomes his heir. Seeing Cao Zhi becoming increasingly respected by the emperor and his name as the emperor is gradually becoming famous, Zhen Xiang naturally became the idea of marriage.
Cao Zhi had received Cao Miao's instructions before, and he had such an idea, so he naturally expressed his intentions. He was cautious and studied and practiced etiquette since he was a child. He looked as gentleman as a gentleman at a young age. Zhen Xiang liked it very much. After returning to the palace to report his life, he asked Emperor Cao Rui for an order, hoping to marry his daughter Zhen Xiu to Cao Zhi.
Cao Rui did not object, but he said that Zhen Xiucai was ten years old and Cao Zhi was twelve years old. It was too early to get married, so he would wait two years before talking about it.
Although the marriage was not decided, the story of Zhen's intention to marry Cao Zhi spread. For a time, there were endless people coming to propose marriage. Most of the targets of the marriage were Cao Zhi, and some were Cao Zhi himself. Everyone knew that he did not have a good concubine yet. If he could marry, he would become a princess, even if he was older, it would be okay.
