"The words of Datong do have some truth, but after giving birth to the prince, Dong Jieyu should be demoted to a commoner and expelled from the palace!"
"From today on, the palace ban will be even more stringent. Ordinary people are not allowed to speak to His Majesty without the orders of me and Datong, in order to uphold the virtue of the Emperor!"
"The way of benevolence and forgiveness can be practiced in one step but not in two ways. Just as Datong said, let your horse go today and let your horse go tomorrow. After all, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is not a man who lets horses on the grassland!"
Recalling the slang used by Tong Fang and Guang Sinong when they were alone, Cao Cao's face tightened, and a hint of peace appeared on his cheeks.
Fang Guang tilted his head and smiled at Meng De, then looked at Liu Xie and became serious.
"Your Majesty was deceived by traitors and took advantage of others because he was not deeply involved in the world!"
"When the Prime Minister is dealing with the rebels, the Emperor can sit on the sidelines and watch the blood flow in Xuchang and the heads falling to the ground. Your Majesty should know that the Emperor's words are as heavy as nine mountains. If there is a slight mistake, the heads will roll down!"
The so-called "killing people to kill people", Fang Guang's words made Liu Xie, who was just a little grateful to him in his heart, instantly turn pale with anger.
After being angry, Emperor Xian felt even more powerless in his heart.
Emperor Han knew that he had a bright future, and it was not because he was afraid of the imperial power that he held back.
The commander of the Central Guard Army acted out of respect for his original intention, which was to be kind to women and children, but not to the emperor at all.
Cao Cao nodded heavily when he heard this, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
"That's good! This matter is settled as it is. It's just Datong. I'm afraid you won't be able to see the moment of relief!"
"Yuan Benchu has always been the best at taking advantage of the small chaos in Xuchang. I heard that soldiers from Hebei and horsemen from Youyan have gathered in Yecheng!"
"Dongjun is the foundation of Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is the place where money and food gather in the Central Plains. You must not miss anything. In three days at most, Datong will lead the army to the north!"
"Promise, what the Prime Minister said coincides with what I am thinking. I will lead the troops northward in the future to relieve the Prime Minister's worries!"
The powerful prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the minister of agriculture, and two treacherous ministers, one big and one small, brazenly showed off their power and prowess in front of Emperor Xian, making Liu Xie's face turn blue and red.
Liu Xie was frightened and was overwhelmed by sour jealousy.
Emperor Xian painfully discovered that although he was the emperor, Cao Mengde and Fang Datong were the heroes of Han Dynasty who astonished Jiuzhou, but what he thought about was the moon in the water and the catkins in the wind, which were extremely erratic.
After showing their power in front of Emperor Xian, the two powerful officials of the court left the place side by side.
The Northern Expedition is about to begin, and these two pragmatic people have no idea how many major things they have to worry about. The matter of offering sacrifices to the emperor is just an adjustment.
Cao Cao and Fang Guang walked out of the palace gate side by side. At a glance, they saw that the ministers, generals, and their most favored concubine, Mrs. Bian, were all guarding the palace gate.
Cao Cao's original wife, Mrs. Ding, did not like to be seen in public and lived in seclusion on the outskirts of Xuchang.
Mrs. Bian, who was born in the Le family, perfectly matched Cao Cao's aesthetics. She was coquettish and elegant, her legs were long and charming, and more importantly.
Unlike Mrs. Ding who had no offspring, Mrs. Bian had already given birth to three sons to Cao Cao in 197 AD.
The eldest son, Cao Pi, was ten years old at this time and was very quiet. The other son, Cao Zhang, was martial in nature and held his mother's hand. He had yellowish hair and big eyes. He looked at Fang Guang curiously and looked respectful.
The youngest son, Cao Zhi, was only five years old at this time, with an arrogant look on his face. He leaned next to his mother and looked at Fang Guang Sinong with a vague look of contempt in his eyes.
"Lord, we are waiting here, but at your lord's command!"
"Prime Minister, is there nothing going on in the palace?"
"Mr. Cao, I was in the palace. I heard that someone in Xuchang City was plotting to kill me. Zihuan, Zijian, and Ziwen were all worried about their father's safety, so they disobeyed etiquette to this point. I hope Gong Cao will punish him!"
Seeing Cao Cao coming out of the palace, Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu, and Mrs. Bian all started to say hello. It seemed like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was looking for trouble with Cao Cao, and they were extremely worried.
With a soft voice, Mrs. Bian held Cao Zhi in her arms and saluted, sketching a unique landscape painting in front of the palace gate.
His son is cute, his wife is beautiful, and Boss Cao just happened to bully the emperor. He is at the peak of his life and is in high spirits.
The sight of a virtuous wife and filial son immediately made Meng De's loving side bloom.
The generals saw the Prime Minister holding his wife's little hand, holding Cao Zhi in his arms, teasing the child, with smiles on their faces, and they all laughed knowingly together.
The prime minister is in a calm state of mind, and it seems that he has not killed the emperor as Xun Lingjun feared!
"Zijian, haven't you always asked your father who wrote those magnificent poems?"
"Well, this is what my subordinates, Si Nong, Fang Guang and Fang Datong, did! Glow-in-the-dark cups of grape wine. If you want to drink from the pipa, drink immediately. The Western Region is so heroic. My father and son should see it when they have time!"
Cao Zhi had heard his father recite Fang Guang's poems and essays. At this moment, he looked at the former Yellow Turban Colonel with his eyes, arrogantly, but with a hint of admiration hidden.
A five-year-old child is already as smart as an adult. Cao Zijian looked at Fang Guang and spoke in a childish voice.
"Fang Qilin, when I grow up, I will definitely be able to write poems that surpass yours."
"Young master is smart and his poetry must be top-notch. You don't need to grow up, I'm already convinced!"
Fang Guang looked at the child prodigy who made the Luo Shen Fu and spoke sincerely, but to Cao Cao's close associates and the prime minister himself, it sounded like Sinong was teasing a child.
Cao Cao looked at his son's proud look, and because Fang Guang glanced at him with stars twinkling in his eyes, he couldn't help but put Cao Zhi down and patted his head lovingly.
Cao Zhang, the yellow-haired boy, was more courageous. The eight-year-old child ran to Fang Guang's side in a few steps, squeezed Sinong's thigh, and exclaimed.
"Father, mother, this Fang Qilin can really compete with Uncle En and rival Lu Bu. The flesh on his legs is tight!"
"I will also practice martial arts hard, and I will be no worse than Qilin in the future!"
Cao Zhang was good at martial arts. When he came of age, he led his cavalry and shocked the Western Regions. He was even carried out by Cao Cao and compared with the son of the big-eared borer.
Si Nong also liked young heroes. Hearing this, he imitated Cao Cao and patted Cao Zhang's yellow hair several times.
"It turns out that this is Fang Datong who serves under my husband. I heard people from Xuchang say that when Qilin comes out of Yuzhou, the world will be in good luck. Looking at it today, it turns out that he is indeed a talented person!"
While Mrs. Bian was speaking, Fang Guang hurriedly saluted. Hearing the hidden meaning in Cao Cao's concubine's words, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Naturally, she knew that the Bian family was involved in the matter of the Central Guard Army under Cao Hong's command, and Madam put the blame on herself.
He was on good terms with Cao Ang, which was naturally the main reason why Mrs. Bian had something to say.
"Datong is the most useful person under my command. He will go north soon. Zihuan, come here. You should talk less and think more. In the future, you should learn more about Datong's wonderful ideas."
"What my father said is true. I will always ask for advice from Si Nong, and use Jia Gong's way and Si Nong's skills as the outline of my studies."
Cao Pi looked at Fang Guang and saluted sincerely.
Fang Guang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and while returning the greeting to Cao Pi, his heart skipped a beat.
Today, he has finally met all of Cao Cao's sons. This Cao Pi is unremarkable, only ten years old, and his words are already frightening.
Cao Zihuan feels cold and slimy, just like a snake and python, dangerous and cold.
