"Zhang Qing, speak!"
Emperor Liu Hong frowned and paced back and forth in the hall.
He took a deep breath. There was an inexplicable fear in his heart that made him restless.
"Do you think that Cao Cao can really do it? Although I do not like the Yuan Family, what he said is not without reason. Cao Cao is too young and has not been through any killing. Can he bear my high hopes?”
"Zhen is afraid."
At this point, Liu Hong felt even more terrified.""What if even Cao Cao is defeated? Would the Yellow Turban Wave follow the Yuanyuan Pass and directly attack Luoyang? At that time, wouldn't I be…"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Rang cupped his hands and interrupted Liu Hong."Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although Cao Cao is young, Your Majesty actually chose him out of the vast sea of people.
Even if he could not defeat Bo Cai, he could at least help Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong share some of the pressure. The two of them had experienced hundreds of battles. That Yellow Turban was only capable for a moment, so it would not be a big deal.”
Cao Cao was Cao Song's son.
Cao Song was the son of Cao Teng, the constant attendant of Emperor Huan.
Although the emperor had changed, they were all eunuchs after all.
Zhang Rang speaking up for Cao Cao was naturally reasonable. This would be beneficial to strengthening the eunuch party.
Phew ~~~
Liu Hong let out a long breath." At that time, I only heard that Cao Cao was familiar with military books and had an extraordinary understanding of the battlefield. In fact, I didn't think too much about whether he was qualified to be a general.”
"Now that I think about it,"
Liu Hong secretly shook his head." Perhaps the decision was a little hasty. However, after thinking about it carefully, I don't think there is a more suitable candidate in the court to go to war for me. Choosing Cao Cao was a last resort."”
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. Cao Zhonglang will not disappoint Your Majesty."”
Liu Hong turned his head to look at Zhang Rang and sneered,""Humph! How do you know that Cao Cao won't let me down? Do you know him very well?"
Zhang Rang immediately denied it." Your Majesty, although I don't know much about Cao Cao, I understand Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wholeheartedly dedicated to the country and the people. This heart will definitely move the heavens. You are just a small Yellow Turban. You are just helping a peasant. How dare you go against the court with a hoe? You really overestimate yourself!"
Suddenly.
A person appeared in Liu Hong's mind. He smiled and said,"Someone said the same thing to Zhang Qing.”
"Oh?" Zhang Rang's interest was piqued. May I know who it is?"
Liu Hong's lips curled up." You know this person as well. He is Cao Cao's son, Cao Ang. When he came to treat Princess Wannian, I asked him out of curiosity.
He was similar to what you said, Zhang Qing. They were just a bunch of nobodies. They dared to go against the imperial court with a hoe. They really overestimated themselves. I remember it very clearly.”
"This kid is really extraordinary!" Zhang Rang's lips curled up slightly.”
"Yeah!" Liu Hong nodded. This kid is indeed a little evil. To be honest with Zhang Qing, the reason why I was able to see through the shortcomings of the Yingchuan battle was because this kid had made a great contribution!”
Zhang Rang was enlightened.
Actually!
He kept thinking.
Why did the Emperor suddenly appoint Cao Cao as the general of the five senses?
One had to know that the communication between Cao Cao and the Minister of Foreign Affairs was usually through these eunuchs.
Most of the imperial edicts would not escape their eyes. However, not long after they left the Imperial Palace, such an imperial decree was issued!
So it was because of him!
Zhang Rang let out a sigh of relief.
It must be known that no normal person could enter the forbidden grounds. Only eunuchs could enter. Ordinary guards were only responsible for guarding the outside of the palace. The forbidden grounds were guarded by eunuchs.
Cao Ang was an exception.
After all, he needed to visit Princess Wannian frequently, which was why he was given a temporary privilege.
However, it was fortunate that he was Cao Cao's son. If it was someone like Yuan Shao, he would have crossed Zhang Rang's bottom line.
Eunuchs and scholars were at loggerheads.
This kind of relationship had not been going on for eight to ten years!
The result this time should be purely an accident.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rang was relieved.
"Oh, right."
Liu Hong suddenly remembered and smiled."According to the usual practice, Cao Ang should have come to examine the princess again today. He has made such a great contribution, but he can't be rewarded.”
Zhang Rang bowed and cupped his hands.”
"Alright," Liu Hong nodded.
*****
Young Master, you said this is a mirror?"
Liu Ying sat in front of the dressing table, holding a flat mirror and looking at herself inside. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her face was beautiful. She couldn't help but say,"How can this be so clear?"
"Is it clear?"
" Just so-so, third in the world!"
From time to time, Cao Ang would say something he didn't understand.
He stood in front of the dressing table and looked at the exquisite face in the mirror. He smiled and said,"Do you know how much effort I've put into illuminating your beauty?”
"You don't know! Every day, I went up the mountain and down the river. It took me 49 days to find a clear and transparent stone in the spring water of the mountain stream!”
"It took me a long time to make it into a mirror and even match it with such a beautiful frame. I really spent a lot of effort. Your Highness, are you not going to reward me?”
Liu Ying turned to Cao Ang and asked,"What reward do you want?" As long as Ying 'er could do it, she would definitely do it.”
"This…"
Cao Ang frowned. He wanted Liu Ying to kiss him, but he couldn't say it like that. Otherwise, he would be treated as a lecher and tortured."I want you!"
"Ah?"
Liu Ying was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Cao Ang immediately sensed that the situation was not good and changed the topic."Please reward me with a calligraphy piece. I heard that the princess 'calligraphy was inherited from His Majesty. His Majesty's calligraphy piece is the best in the world!”
Liu Ying let out a long sigh. I thought "
Cao Ang came forward and chuckled,"Princess, what do you think?"
He stared at Liu Ying with burning eyes, and Liu Ying was so embarrassed that she looked like she was on fire. She lowered her head slightly. When she heard the system reward 1000 points, the corners of her lips curled up slightly before she retracted them.
There was no hurry!
Take it slow. You can't eat hot tofu if you're impatient.
He let out a long breath and smiled indifferently.”
"No, no!" Liu Ying shook her head. I didn't!"
Cao Ang patted Liu Ying's shoulder and said,""I know. You're my girlfriend!”
Liu Ying's smiling face suddenly became as red as charcoal. She didn't know why, but every time Cao Ang did this, her heart would throb inexplicably!
"Me, me!"
" Your Majesty has arrived!"
