Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Cao Ning was affirmed again and again that he would not blame them for a nursery rhyme, and Cao Ning's nervous heart relaxed a lot.

"Father, there is one more thing. We want you to take back the rewards you gave to Sui'er and the others."

Cao Ning was still a little worried, and continued according to Zhang Chunhua's instructions: "We have completely withdrawn from the weapon factory, and the soldiers and horses under the Chen family have also been dismissed, and the shadows will no longer be managed, and all will be returned to father. We dare not ask for anything more."

After all, her husband's merits are so high, and he still holds so many things about the lifeblood of the Great Wei. Now spreading nursery rhymes may be the first step, and maybe there is a second step to slander and discredit them.

If you don't give up these, you will definitely have troubles in the future, and you will even be suspicious.

"Absurd, that is a reward from me. The weapon factory is an industry established by Zi'an himself. How can you say no to it? I don't agree!"

Cao Cao said with a straight face.

"Even if father doesn't agree, we dare not ask for it, and we won't ask for it again."

Cao Ning was very nervous, but shook his head resolutely.

"It's not because you have done so many wrong things, now even Ning'er is afraid of you."

Madam Ding said distressedly: "Since Ning'er doesn't want it, then you can take it all back. If you have any questions, wait until Zian comes back."

Seeing that her mother was also speaking for herself, Cao Ning nodded slightly and said, "Ning'er is just a woman, and so are the sisters in the family. We don't understand anything, and we just want to live in peace. If father really disagrees, I want to wait until my husband comes back, but before my husband comes back, I have to return all of these."

She didn't want her family to be suspected by Cao Cao, and she really didn't understand anything except the horror of nursery rhymes.

If nursery rhymes spread widely outside, even if Cao Cao didn't suspect anything, the officials below would use excuses to impeach Chen Yang.

In Dawei's officialdom, there must be many people who are jealous of Chen Yang, how could they let go of this great opportunity.

One or two impeachments are nothing. If there are too many impeachments, coupled with the influence of other rumors, Cao Cao will be suspicious, which is not necessarily the case.

"Father, please take it back, we really dare not ask for any more rewards." Cao Ning said.

"OK OK!"

Seeing his daughter crying so aggrieved, Cao Cao felt distressed, and said, "I will take back all the rewards first, and deal with other matters when Zian comes back!"

"Thank you, father, for your fulfillment!"

Cao Ning nodded softly: "The sisters at home are still waiting for me to go back, I want to leave first, and come back to accompany you when I have time in a few days."

She saluted gratefully and left the palace.

"Look at you, we must make our relationship into such a mess."

Mrs. Ding said dissatisfied.

"It's the fault of those nursery rhymes, I think so too!"

Cao Cao said with a dark face: "Behind this, there must be someone pushing. As for who it is, I will find it out. This person will never be forgiven lightly."

"Zian is my brave general, son-in-law, and the foundation of the Great Wei. Even if I betray the world, I will never fail Zi'an."

"If Zian really had that thought, I would have already replaced the Cao family when I was unconscious back then, not to mention he fought everywhere for our Cao family and made great achievements. How could I doubt him? It's because Ning'er is too sensitive gone."

He absolutely trusted Chen Yang, if not, he wouldn't have given him so much.

"Three people become tigers, do you know, Your Majesty?"

Mrs. Ding said: "You say that now, and you will definitely be shaken if you hear it too much later. Also, after becoming the throne, many relationships in our family have changed."

The most ruthless emperor's family has been this way since ancient times.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to catch all the people behind the nursery rhymes!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he strode out, his expression still terrified.

Someone who dared to spread such nursery rhymes to satirize Cao Wei would definitely drive a wedge between him and Chen Yang. This person deserved to die, and absolutely deserved to be killed.

It's just that not long after he left the house, a guard came over and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the shadow leader Cao Lan asks to see you."

In the entire state of Wei, Cao Lan's shadow was the most powerful person inquiring about news. Cao Cao was about to find Cao Lan, but he didn't expect him to come here. Thinking of Cao Ning's words just now, he shook his head helplessly.

On the main hall, Cao Cao finally saw Cao Lan.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Chen said that from now on, the subject will only serve His Majesty, not the General!"

Cao Lan came up and said directly: "I have started investigating the nursery rhymes outside, but I can't find out where the source is. It seems to have appeared out of thin air, and I can't find anything."

"Your shadows are so powerful, and you can't find them?"

Cao Cao asked in surprise.

"No, we have no way to start, there is no trace to find, that nursery rhyme is really strange."

Cao Lan shook her head and said, "But the people who let the shadows first suppress the spread of nursery rhymes, I hope this will be useful."

He was still thinking to himself, hoping that this would help the general and not cause too much trouble.

"Can't find it? Continue to investigate. No matter what, you must find out for me. I want to make those who spread rumors behind their backs regret living!"

Cao Cao was furious: "And you continue to suppress this nursery rhyme in the whole city. No matter who it is, as long as it dares to sing another sentence, it will directly arrest people."

"Yes!"

Cao Lan left immediately.

After a while, Cao Cao finally calmed down. As long as Chen Yang was involved, it would have a great impact on him, and he didn't want Chen Yang to have an accident because of it.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xun is asking to see you outside the door!"

Someone else came in and reported.

"Quick pass!" Cao Cao said loudly.

After a while, Xun Yu hurried in, before he had time to salute, he said urgently: "Your Majesty, something has happened, something big is going to happen!"

"Wen Ruo also knows the nursery rhymes circulating outside?"

Cao Cao asked lightly.

"It turns out that His Majesty also knows, but that's not all. The news came from the Chen family that the weapons factory will stop all production as soon as possible and will no longer provide us with weapons. In addition, Ye Shun also handed over the soldiers and horses to General Le for merger. Zi'an is not in Xiangyang. But his wife gave up everything because of fear."

Xun Yu said nervously: "The nursery rhyme is still being spread, and almost all the children can sing it. I heard that someone suppressed it, but it cannot be suppressed for a long time."

Cao Cao said angrily, "The person behind the scenes is really abominable! Cao Lan came to me just now, but he couldn't even find the source of the nursery rhyme. The person behind it is hiding very deeply!"

Xun Yu said cautiously: "Does Your Majesty think there is a possibility? It's probably not a coincidence that nursery rhymes appeared in Xiangyang not long after Tian Wu came here."

"You mean, Sima Yi is the person behind it?"

Cao Cao said angrily.

"Not sure, but very likely!"

Xun Yu couldn't be sure, in order to help Chen Yang, he could only push these things to Sima Yi.

In fact, he also felt that this possibility was very high, and that Sima Yi's sudden request for peace must be due to uneasiness and good intentions.
