son-in-law

Chapter 187 Cao Wudi

In Luoyang City, princes and nobles often disguised themselves as ordinary people and ran out to play.The advantage of doing this is that it does not attract attention, and occasionally you can pretend to be a pig and a tiger to show your prestige.

In fact, for those who were born with a golden key in their mouth, the feeling of hugging is no longer an expression of beauty, but a burden.They even jokingly said that only upstarts care about that feeling.Of course, this statement will not be accepted by everyone.

It is not uncommon for princes, princes, princesses, and princesses to pretend to be ordinary people, but private visits by emperors in micro-clothes are relatively rare.Even more rarely, the emperor brought the queen with him.God-given Emperor Zhao Chong told Empress Cao Yuzan that I had just left the palace at the age of 12, and returned to the palace as emperor at the age of 13.It lasted for ten years, and for the past 23 years, she almost stayed in the palace.I am very yearning for the outside world.

Then Cao Yuhan even boldly suggested that the Goddess Festival is unprecedentedly grand, so it's better to go out to play in disguise.The emperor was overjoyed, saying that since his concubine entered the palace, my life has become rich and colorful.

At this Luohe Goddess Fighting Competition, among all living beings, there was the thin figure of Emperor Tianci, and standing beside him was Empress Cao disguised as a little daughter-in-law.And the masters beside the emperor and empress felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.But they still have to stand with the emperor and have fun with the people standing under the stage.

Later, Zhao Yafu, the general of the Jinwu Guard, found the emperor's figure, and General Zhao's blood pressure immediately rose by at least [-] millimeters of mercury.However, in order not to disturb the emperor's pleasure, he could only order his confidants to focus on a certain location.Cao Yuzan soon discovered the situation, and told the emperor that his Majesty had the unique insight to select General Zhao from thousands of people.

The emperor smiled and said, Zhao Yafu was also recommended to me by King Mu.When my mother was in power, I didn't dare to promote him, for fear that my mother would be overwhelmed.On the contrary, Zhao Yafu has been wronged for ten years, and has been working as a small travel school in the border.

The Emperor Tianci was weak, and before the Goddess was able to fight, he was already a little tired and turned back to the palace.On the way back to the palace, they were full of praise for Xu Luochen's two poems, and even called them "good hands".It's just that I don't know why this great talent Xu behaved differently. If I guessed correctly, this Mr. Xu is a man of temperament.Good poetry can only be written when the mood is there.He is not a prolific poet, and he is still much worse than Li Du in the previous dynasty.

Back in the palace, Emperor Zhao Chong fell on the dragon couch, and Empress Cao Yuzan waited on him.The emperor whispered a few words to Li Wantang, and with a wave of his hand, all the slaves retreated, leaving only Li Wantang at his side.

Zhao Chongdao: "I didn't expect Prince Geng to also be interested in running an art museum. It's understandable that he wants to make some money, after all, he still supports two divisions under his command. The little money from the Ministry of War can only just solve the food problem."

The emperor's implication was that Zhao Zhun wanted to increase the equipment of those two divisions.

Cao Yuzan looked up at the emperor, but did not speak.

Zhao Chong said again: "The queen mother always felt that my life would not last long, and at that time the concubines in the palace were not up to date, and had not been able to give birth to a prince. So the queen mother focused on Prince Geng Zhao Zhun, and told him that she intended to establish He is the crown prince. That is, after that meeting, Zhao Zhun began to reach out to the army and win over the No. 12 Division of Xuanjia Seventh. Luoyang City is only half a day away."

Having said that, Zhao Chong stopped talking.

Cao Yuzan looked up at Li Wantang.

Li Wantang retreated, but was stopped by the emperor: "Qing is my confidant, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. Today I want to discuss important matters for the future. In the next few decades, I also hope that Qing will fully assist the prince and queen."

Li Wantang respectfully knelt down on the ground and burst into tears: "Since the emperor has this concern, why not follow the example of the previous emperor and cooperate with the clan to kill Prince Geng."

Zhao Chong shook his head: "Tang Qiong sent masters to assassinate Prince Feng. That matter was not done closely enough, and everyone knew about it. It is really inappropriate. Once such a thing happened, the royal family's prestige will be lowered a bit. If it happens again With such a thing, how do the common people think of my Zhao family?"

Cao Yuzan thought for a moment and said: "The concubine dares to say something."

Zhao Chongdao: "It's okay for the queen to say."

Cao Yuzan said: "If you want to do this, you should still rely on the clan. But it can't be done as clearly as last time. The concubine knows that Yu Shi Su Yu is not only the son-in-law of the Tang clan, but also a Mexican party."

Zhao Chong's eyes flashed: "Oh? A foreigner or the Mo Party?"

Cao Yuzan said: "The minister and concubine learned from the secret report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Su Yu is now the head protector of the Red Black God Sect. He has set up a general altar in Beishi, and everyone has responded."

The emperor nodded, and said in a deep voice, "If Prince Ruogeng died at the hands of Jianghu people, it is reasonable."

Li Wantang said: "I dare not refute the queen, but this old servant is worried."

The emperor smiled and said, "You speak bluntly and don't shy away from it."

Li Wantang said: "It's good to cut the mess with a sharp knife, but we must prioritize. Now the emperor's dragon body is strong, and there is a prince and queen supervising the administration, so the court is stable. At this time, you must not be too hasty to become Prince Geng. It is better to first Get rid of his wings, and when his influence is no longer there, he will be nothing more than an empty shell. Even if you don't deal with him, it doesn't matter, it will look even more powerful."

Hearing this, the emperor was delighted.

Cao Yuzan immediately said: "The concubine learned that Prince Yu, Zhao Yulong, and General Liang Cong, the No. 12 division of Xuanjia, are brothers-in-law. The reason why Prince Geng Zhao Zhun was able to win Liang Cong was based on this relationship. The concubine thought, If you want to rule Zhao Zhun, you should rule Zhao Yulong first, and then Liang Cong. This will cut off the relationship between Zhao Zhun and the No.12 division. But before you start, you should recall the Xuanjia general Zhang Yunlong to lead the No. 15, No. [-] and No. [-] divisions. , the three divisions returned to Beijing, Cao Sheng's second division, Emperor Uncle Zhao Ting's fourth division, and Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General Zhao Yafu jointly check and balance Zhao Zhun."

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "There is no need to make such a big move, so as not to disturb the family and cause side effects. Just call Zhang Yunlong and let him bring the first division to Beijing."

The emperor got up, raised his head with his hands behind his back, and said, "With my General Xuanjia here, I have nothing to worry about. The queen just let go and do it."

Having said that, it seems to have come to an end.

The emperor ate a few grapes and said with a smile, "Does the empress know Cao Wudi?"

Cao Yuzan said, "I don't know."

The emperor pointed at Li Wantang, motioning for Li Wantang to speak.

Li Wantang immediately said: "Ever since Emperor Gaozu, there have been hidden stake organizations in the three major clans. Every family has a person named Wudi. The Tang family has Cao Wudi, the Meng family has Huo Wudi, and the Ximen family has Wudi. There is Gongsun Wudi at home."

Cao Yuhan nodded.

Li Wantang glanced at the emperor, but the emperor remained silent.

Li Wantang continued: "This is the top secret of the royal family. Before, only the queen mother, the emperor and the old slave knew about it. Now the emperor only allows the old slave to tell the empress."

Hearing this, Cao Yuzan showed a look of panic, and quickly fell to his knees: "The emperor's family, Cao Yuzan repays with his life. Not only Cao Yuzan, but the entire Cao family will always..."

Before Cao Yuhan could finish her sentence, Zhao Chong grabbed her and said, "Yuhan, I can choose you into the palace and make you a queen. From then on, you don't have to express your loyalty."

Cao Yuzan wept with joy, and asked, "Then how do you get in touch with those hidden stakes? Could it be that...was it also the emperor's arrangement for Yuchai to marry into the Tang family?"

The emperor just smiled and said nothing.

Li Wantang said: "This old slave is in charge of contacting me personally, and no one is involved. Before this old slave, it was Mr. Chen who was in charge of contacting. That is, Hu Rong's master."

"Oh..." Cao Yuzan frowned.

Li Wantang looked at the emperor again, but the emperor still did not speak.

Li Wantang said again: "A while ago, Tang Xiong disregarded the Queen Mother's orders and forcibly rebelled. The result failed, and Cao Wudi was forced to leave the Tang family. But recently Cao Wudi returned to Qinghuafang and is rebuilding the system."

Cao Yuzan thought for a while and asked, "Is Cao Wudi Tang Qiu?"

Hearing this, the emperor seemed to have noticed something, stared shrewdly, and said with a smile: "Tang Qiu has gone and returned, the empress even knows about such things, it seems that the empress is quite well informed. In this case, why not play a game with the empress .In three months, let’s see if the Queen can find Cao Wudi. Hehehe.”

Having said that, the emperor ordered Li Wantang to call in the eunuchs and maids. The emperor said that his back was sore and he needed to be kneaded.

Just as Li Wantang left, the emperor muttered seemingly unintentionally: "The Mo Party shouldn't be so powerful."

Cao Yuzan immediately said: "The concubine understands that the excessive prosperity of the Mo party will damage the country, and it will be eliminated sooner or later. But as Li Wantang said, it should not be rushed."

The emperor closed his eyes and meditated, and said softly: "The empress is really a colorful phoenix."
