"The weight of the country is heavier than a thousand pounds, and it cannot be solved by just saying something. Now is a time of great strife. The Emperor of Han, Liu Gongsi, has great ambitions. If the Crown Prince cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility, do you think you can have a good ending?"

Cao Pi sighed heavily and said, "I'm afraid by then, my integrity will be ruined."

Queen Guo rested her head on Cao Pi's chest and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know what kind of person the prince is? Maybe his behavior is a little bit out of line, but in terms of wisdom, the prince is not inferior to others. The fact that he can see the situation clearly is the most valuable."

Can you see the situation clearly?
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and lifted Guo Zhao's chin with his hand.

"How do you say that?"

Queen Guo said immediately: "The prince is not my son, and his mother, Madam Zhen, was abducted by the Han Kingdom. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would be quite resentful of me, the master of the harem, but the prince not only does not, but he visits me every day and serves me like his own mother. If he is not simple in nature, then he is extremely cunning. Is the prince a simple person?"

Cao Pi had some understanding of his son.

Simple temperament?

This guy is very sinister.

This is also the reason why Cao Pi did not want Cao Rui to take the throne.

With such cunningness, can the Queen have a good ending in the future?

"I thought the Queen didn't notice."

Guo Zhao hugged Cao Pi tightly and said, "I am not stupid, how can I not see clearly? Among your majesty's descendants, if anyone can turn the tide in a crisis, it must be the crown prince."

Queen Guo's eyes flickered as she continued, "Your Majesty, the first thing you need to do is take care of yourself. No matter how the situation changes, as long as Your Majesty is safe, I will be safe. If Your Majesty is gone, I will not want to live."

"What discouraging words?"

Cao Pi wiped the tears from Guo Zhao's face and said, "Life is determined by heaven, no one can change it. No matter what, you must live well for me."

Cao Pi hugged the beauty in his arms tighter. The idea of ​​deposing the crown prince was completely extinguished because of his conversation with Queen Guo.

He really doesn't have time to train another prince now.

Although the current prince cannot satisfy him.

But it is not impossible that none of his other sons could satisfy him.

"Let's leave it at that for now!"

After helping Cao Pi to sleep, Queen Guo did not stay in the bedroom.

Instead, he went straight back to the Pepper Room.

At this moment, in the palace.

Cao Rui, the Crown Prince of Wei, was pacing back and forth. His face did not look relaxed, but rather worried.

Beside him stood a tall and beautiful woman. If she wasn’t the Crown Princess Sun Luban, then who could she be?
At this moment, Jiangdong Dahu's expression was very relaxed.

She didn't care much whether the prince was deposed or not.

When he looked at Cao Rui out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently revealed a hint of contempt.

Joy and anger cannot be expressed in color.

Look at how you look now, just like a clownish character on the stage, so ridiculous!

Cao Rui could naturally feel Sun Luban's gaze.

"At this point, are you still going to make trouble?"

Cao Rui was extremely dissatisfied with his Crown Princess.

But there is nothing you can do if you are not satisfied.

With her, Jiangdong will have its support, and with her, the Queen will support him.

Even Cao Rui had to hold back his anger for the time being.

"Am I being unreasonable again?"

Sun Luban didn't give Cao Rui any face at all. She snorted coldly and said, "I was in the palace. I didn't move or say anything. Why are you blaming me now?"

"Humph!"

Cao Rui snorted coldly and said, "Woman, you are unreasonable!"

At this moment, Queen Guo came in from outside the palace.

"I just came back from His Majesty's place and heard you two arguing?"

"My son, please pay homage to your mother!"

A look of panic flashed across Cao Rui's face, and he quickly turned around and bowed to Queen Guo.

Although Sun Luban looked down on Cao Rui, she did not dare to neglect Guo Zhao.

Guo Zhao was able to keep the Emperor of Wei firmly in her hands, enjoying great favors, and her control over the imperial palace could be considered stable.

When Cao Pi's other concubines saw Guo Zhao, they were like mice seeing a cat and did not dare to act rashly.

In Sun Luban's eyes, Guo Zhao is her role model!

"Da Hu pays respect to the Queen Mother."

"Everyone, get up."

Guo Zhao sat lazily on the main seat, then slowly began to speak.

"Mother, what did the Emperor say?"

Cao Rui was indeed a little anxious.

Guo Zhao had just picked up the tea and before he even put it in his mouth to drink it, he asked the question he wanted to know most.

no way.

The torment and pressure he has been suffering in these days are difficult for outsiders to understand.

The crown prince is the crown prince and the future emperor.

It is difficult to get to this position, and it is even more impossible to retire peacefully.

If someone else became the crown prince, would he still have a chance to survive?
During the reign of Emperor Jing, there is no need to say more about the fate of Han Crown Prince Liu Rong, right?

Now that he has taken the throne of the crown prince, he can only move forward and not retreat.

This matter concerned his future, wealth, and even his life, so Cao Rui could not help but be anxious.

"Do not worry."

Guo Zhao's three words put Cao Rui's mind at ease.

"Your Majesty has no intention of deposing the Crown Prince for the time being. You also know that the Han Kingdom is attacking Wei from five directions, and the court must be stable. If you depose the Crown Prince, it will definitely make the court unstable."

temporary?

Cao Rui's heart, which had originally been put at ease, was once again hanging in his throat.

The knife on his neck was just raised a little, not taken away!

"Mother, this."

Guo Zhao waved his hand and said, "The Crown Prince did such an absurd thing, and it is normal for His Majesty to be dissatisfied with you. Now the court is preparing for the war against the Han Kingdom. Your father is not feeling well. If you can help share his worries, I am afraid he will look at you with new eyes. If you can lead the troops in battle and earn some military merits, I am afraid your position as the Crown Prince will be as stable as Mount Tai."

In fact, after her words, the position of Crown Prince Cao Rui had become as stable as a rock.

But
She would never tell the prince about this.

If you don't worry, you never know what trouble will come.

Make the prince alert so that he won't make mistakes.

And
If the prince wants to control the government in the future, contact with the military is essential.

Joining the army this time is not only a training, but also a test of his abilities, and it is also an opportunity for him to take power and consolidate authority.

To tell whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it for a walk.

If the prince is incompetent, no matter how many good words she says to the emperor, it will be useless.

And
Guo Zhao would not allow an incompetent heir to ascend to the supreme throne.

In an age of great strife, incompetent people ascend to high positions. Where will her future wealth and honor lie?
I'm afraid he can't escape the fate of becoming a prisoner and a plaything.

I heard that the Han Emperor Liu Gongsi loved wives and built a deep palace in Chang'an to collect beauties from all over the world.

She doesn't want to be a queen mother, but a plaything?
This is definitely not what she wants.

"It's just that I don't know much about military affairs."

The Han attacked Wei from five directions, and it was obvious that it was a war involving the entire country.

Although Cao Rui had read several military books, he was definitely not knowledgeable about military affairs.

On the battlefield, swords and knives have no eyes, it's not like treating someone to a dinner.

The Han army was also known for its bravery.

If he met the Han Emperor Liu Gongsi, his use of troops was known to be erratic. It was entirely possible that he would die on the battlefield if he was unlucky.

Cao Rui wanted to be regent rather than lead troops to war.

"If you have to lead the troops into battle, it would only take the prince's presence at the front lines to boost morale."

Seeing the prince's fear, Queen Guo felt a little disappointed, but she hid this disappointment very well.

"This"

Cao Rui still hesitated.

On the side, Crown Princess Sun Luban couldn't stand it anymore.

"Your Highness, you are a man of seven feet tall. You are just going to the battlefield. What are you afraid of? When the Han Emperor Liu Gongsi was a few years younger than you, he dared to go south to the barren land of Nanzhong and quell the rebellion in Nanzhong. Now he is just sending your Highness to the front line. You don't need to make plans or fight in front of the battle. What is there to be afraid of?"

You guy!

Cao Rui looked at Sun Luban hatefully.

After hearing what the Crown Princess said, Guo Zhao finally realized that Wei's opponent, the rumored Emperor of Han, was actually not much greater than the Crown Prince of Wei.

Maybe only a few months.

The Han emperor, Liu Gongsi, was already famous throughout the world, and his prestige in the country was unmatched by few.

On the grassland, he was called the Heavenly Khan.

In the eyes of those soldiers, the Han emperor was a god of war, invincible.

In the eyes of storytellers, the Emperor of Han is a tough guy sent from heaven, the savior of the world, and the protagonist of the Three Restorations of the Han Dynasty.

The Emperor of Han was like the sun in the sky, his light so bright that people dared not look directly at him, but the Crown Prince of Wei did not even dare to go to the battlefield.

This comparison
Sit down!

Seeing the change in the Queen's eyes, Cao Rui knew that if he retreated at this time, his time as Crown Prince would probably be over.

"I am just worried about being on the battlefield and missing military opportunities. I am not afraid of going to the battlefield. I am the crown prince of Wei, the heir apparent of Wei. My father is in poor health and cannot lead the army in person. As the crown prince, I should go to the front line to cheer up the people."

Cao Rui had no choice but to go ahead.

"Your Majesty will surely be pleased that the Crown Prince can do this."

How many people in this world can compare to the Emperor of Han?
That's a monster.

The prince is already quite good among ordinary people.

"These days, go back and read the military books, and walk around more with the officers in the army. Don't lose your composure on the battlefield."

"promise!"

Although Cao Rui's face showed fighting spirit, he was already feeling bitter in his heart.

It seems that the position of crown prince is saved, but going to the battlefield is inevitable.

bad luck
It is really possible that it will break on it.

Bitter!

"Prince, please go back first. I have something to discuss with the Crown Princess."

Cao Rui glanced at Sun Luban and nodded slightly.

"My son, please retire."

After Cao Rui left, Guo Zhao looked at Sun Luban.

Sun Luban was wearing a sky blue palace dress, which seemed to come alive on her, clinging to her curves and perfectly outlining her sexiness.

She has a full chest, a slim waist and round hips, and every part of her exudes feminine charm.

This kind of sexiness is not deliberately revealed, but naturally comes out from her every move.

Beauties all appreciate each other, and Guo Zhao also belongs to the appearance association. It is precisely because of Sun Luban's good looks that she looks at her with favor.

But now this beauty is giving her a headache.

"The Crown Princess is a smart person. Why haven't you shown your initial wisdom these days? Is there any benefit to you if you offend the Crown Prince?"

"I know it's not good for me, but..."

Sun Luban pursed her lips and said, "The prince likes men, what can I do?"

Crown Princess Sun Luban was almost crying.

After she married Crown Prince Cao Rui, she was rarely touched by him. She originally thought that the crown prince was not capable enough.

Now it seems that it is a problem of habit.

How could she give birth to a child if the prince didn't touch her?

Plus
The prince's attitude towards her became increasingly cold and even hostile.

She had already prepared to be abandoned.

A hint of stubbornness appeared on Sun Luban's face.

It would be worse than being deposed than being his Crown Princess!

Even if he becomes emperor, what's the point of having this queen?
"Hey~"

Guo Zhao sighed and said, "Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Now it can only be done like this. After this incident, I believe the prince will be more sincere. It will not do you any good to go against him. To capture a man, sometimes you have to lower your posture a little."

"Your Majesty Queen's teachings are correct. I will do my best to follow them."

As much as possible?

"The prince will ascend the throne sooner or later. When he takes power, I can hardly protect myself, let alone you. You should just take care of yourself."

She has said everything that can be said, should be said, and shouldn't be said.

The utmost benevolence and righteousness.

The rest depends on what Sun Luban herself thinks.

"Yes."

Sun Luban remained calm.

That guy ascended the throne as emperor?
It is still unknown whether the State of Wei can hold on until that time!

the other side.

Changan.

It's already August.

In July, there is fire, and in August, it is not young.

The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and countless resources from Guanzhong have begun to be transported to Guandong in a steady stream.

The vanguard troops have already set out from various places.

War is about to break out.

now.

Weiyang Palace.

Shufang Palace.

Inner room of the bedroom.

Following a loud cry of a phoenix, the bedroom became quiet.

On the bed in the inner room, the queen was like a gorgeous peony. Although her head was covered with sweat, her noble temperament could not be concealed.

Her hair was slightly messy, with a few strands gently sticking to her smooth forehead. Her skin was as white as jade, her cheeks were rosy, her face was a bit confused and charming, and her eyes were blurred and deep, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, shining with alluring light.

The corners of her lips were slightly raised, with a hint of satisfaction and sweetness in her smile, as if telling a lingering dream.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo~"

Her breathing was a little rapid, but it carried a unique charm that made people feel pity for her.

After a thrilling battle, Liu Chan was also breathing heavily.

As he was about to go to the battle, Liu Chan transformed himself into a model worker and became as diligent as a bee.

Of course, he himself knows the ups and downs of it.

If I have to describe it, it would be: painful and happy!

"The affairs of the rear will be handed over to the Queen."

Liu Chan hugged Zhang Peilan and gently kissed her on the forehead.

"Your Majesty, please go to the battle without worries. I will not allow any trouble to happen in the rear."

The emperor went to war, and the empress dowager, the queen, and the crown prince were regents.

Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei and Wu Yi were ministers who regents.

But because the prince was young, the actual power was still in the hands of the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Regent.

This battle concerns the fate of the country.

The pressure on Liu Chan was much greater than that of those who stayed behind.

When going on an expedition, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng only need to guard the rear and manage the logistics, while Liu Chan has a lot of things to worry about when he is on an expedition. (End of this chapter)
