"It's snowingit's snowing heavily, God bless you!"
On New Year's Eve, the north wind howled, and a heavy snowfall fell from the sky, covering the noisy city of Xuchang. It brought joy to the children who stayed up late on New Year's Eve, and also brought hope to the hard-working adults. It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and hope for a new year. In this year - good weather, good harvests, and no more suffering from war or famine!
In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yi and Cao Jie led a group of children, riding in beautiful carriages and horses, carrying rich gifts, to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings and discuss military and state affairs
Madams Zhen Mi, Cai Wenji, and Zhao Yu stayed in the Hou Mansion and prepared a sumptuous banquet, because there were also many people coming to pay New Year's greetings today, so how could we not leave someone to entertain them?
"I wish Da Sima great luck and good luck, and all your wishes may come true!"
"Congratulations to the Great Sima - may you be promoted and make a fortune, and may you be a prince for generations to come!"
"Haha, happy New Year to everyone - there will be rewards"
¡¡¡¡
The streets were full of pedestrians, some were sweeping away the snow, and some were going to pay New Year's greetings to their elders. When they saw the team from Wuchou Mansion approaching, they all ducked to both sides. The officials bowed and saluted, and the people knelt down and kowtowed, which was auspicious. The words kept coming and going
Xiao Yi led several of his sons, dismounted and walked directly. While returning the gift with fists, he distributed new year's money, as well as Hou's special cakes, which were fragrant and delicious. As a result, he attracted countless children and almost surrounded the Hou's motorcade. Fortunately, There are enough things prepared.
The Hou Mansion is only a few blocks away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it took more than an hour to get there. There are also many people here, including officials, aristocrats, and celebrities who came to pay New Year's greetings. However, upon closer inspection, the situation seems a little subtle!
In the past, during New Year's greetings, there was a bustle of people, cars and horses in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the gift-giving queue stretched for six or seven miles. Some people once queued for two days and two nights and were not allowed to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion gate. A good queuing position is even more important. Can be exchanged for thousands of gold.
This year has been relatively deserted, and the number of visitors has dropped significantly. Among the civil and military officials and heads of powerful families, some did not show up due to 'physical discomfort', and only sent a few children to come, and the gifts were much inferior. This is very This disrespectful thing has never happened before.
"The Imperial City of the Han Dynasty is just a decoration, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is the center of power. How many people are racking their brains and trying to cling to a relationship. Not to mention being unwell, they can still crawl in even if their legs are broken
Now that they suddenly don¡¯t show up, there is only one answer: It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t come, but they don¡¯t want to come at all, or they don¡¯t dare to come!
The failure of the Southern Expedition greatly reduced Cao Cao's prestige, and even his control over the imperial court was not as good as before. The die-hard Han Dynasty loyalists and noble clans united, and they were ready to make a move. The "weeds" in the imperial court , also began to flutter with the wind
This is not surprising, look at the history of the Han family, Huo Guang, Liang Ji, Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo those who never had power over the world, some deposed the emperor, some killed the emperor, and some replaced the emperor themselves, but They can't escape the law of "its prosperity is booming, its demise is also sudden"!
When they were proud of the spring breeze, their brocade quilts were thick, their pythons and jade were in the sky, and there were so many guests in front of the house. Once they were defeated and lost power, they were immediately beheaded, their bones were smashed and ashes were thrown away. Now in the eyes of many people, Cao Cao has followed in his footsteps and started to It's going downhill
Some people even make wild claims, believing that the Caoying Group has suffered heavy losses, coupled with the frequent civil unrest and shaken people's hearts, it will surely fall apart within three to five years, and it is time for the power center to be reshuffled!
As for whether the Cao family will return military and political power to the royal family after their defeat and restore the majesty of the Han emperor; or whether they will create another powerful minister to continue to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes, it is still unknown, but considering many aspects, the latter may be Sex is bigger!
"We sincerely welcome Lord Sima and his wife - we sincerely welcome all the gentlemen and ladies!"
"You guys have met your brother-in-law and sister!"
"My nephews and nieces send their regards to my uncles!"
¡¡¡¡
"One of Xiao Yi's privileges is that there is no need to queue or pass to enter the prime minister's mansion. The carriage and horses stopped in front of the mansion. The couple led their children and walked in. The officials, guards, and maids along the way saluted
The fifth young master, Cao Xiong, led several younger brothers to welcome guests in front of the mansion. Upon seeing this, he hurriedly came over to salute. Xiao Xuan and his younger brothers and sisters also knelt down and kowtowed to their uncle, and received the new year's money one by one. For the children, This is the greatest significance of New Year greetings.
The four direct sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Pi is in Yecheng, Cao Zhang is in Luoyang, and Cao Zhi is in Runan County. They continue to compete with local officials, trying to get more profits from the mines. Only Cao Xiong stays in the mansion and lives under the knees of his parents every day. Be filial!
?Time flies, and the fifth son who always peed his pants has grown up. He is eight feet tall, has a strong body, and has the facial features inherited from his mother, making him the last handsome man!
"Hehe¡ª¡ªHello, brother-in-law!"
¡°Ma¡¯am, please invite me first, I¡¯ll be here later!¡±
After bowing to each other, Cao Xiong winked and looked like he was asking for something. Xiao Yi understood and let Cao Jie lead the children into the lobby to pay New Year's greetings. He went to a secluded pavilion to enjoy the beautiful snow scene
"I remember a few years ago, I helped Cao Chong have a snowball fight in this pavilion. Unfortunately, the beautiful snow scene is still there, but the little prodigy is missing?
Cao Chong was born with a congenital defect and his heart was not fully developed. As his body grew older, his blood supply became increasingly insufficient, and his life could be in danger at any time. He has been sent to Zhengming Academy for recuperation. Not only is the environment there elegant, but there are also famous doctors from all over the world, who may be able to cure him. What's the solution?
"Brother-in-law, I wish you a prosperous New Year, and I wish you three happy birthdays. My brother-in-law is omnipotent and responsive to all requests!"
A moment later, Cao Xiong trotted over. Among the four legitimate sons, he was the youngest and did not participate in any fights, so he had the best relationship with Xiao Yi and Cao Jie. He often visited Wuchou Hou Mansion!
"Haha - no need to flatter me, just tell me if you have anything to do. Did you do something bad to make things worse, or are you in a tight situation again?"
"Now that the New Year has arrived, my little brother has turned eighteen, but he has been doing nothing all day and is almost getting sick. How about asking my brother-in-law to do a little favor and arrange an errand?"
"The little eagle's wings are full, and it wants to spread its wings and fly. This matter deserves encouragement. Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Yulin Army, Imperial Guardor the three gongs, nine ministers, twelve bureaus, whatever official position you want, brother-in-law Let¡¯s make arrangements for you!¡±
"These official positions are all in the capital, and they are meaningless at all. I want to be like my three elder brothers, to serve in the capital and be my own man, so I ask my brother-in-law to make it happen!"
Young people are lively and active, and often make some minor mistakes. I thought I was invited here to help deal with the aftermath, but did I know that Cao Xiong was looking for a job?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Xiao Yi was in a high position, it was easy to arrange an official position. He didn't even think about the official positions in the capital. Cao Xiong didn't like any of them, so he insisted on going out to experience. Is this because he is young and energetic, or does he have ulterior motives?
"There are so many positions in Xuchang City, why go to other places to practice, not to mention that Zihuan, Ziwen, and Zijian are all outside, and you are the only one with me. Even if the Prime Minister agrees, my mother-in-law will not let go, right?"
"Recently, there have been uninvited guests coming to the door, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has been in a mess, which is really annoying. I have begged him several times, and my father nodded in agreement. But my mother still refuses to let go, and she even asked my brother-in-law to say a few good words!"
"Haha, Madam loves her son very much. This is reasonable. Let me try to say a few words. It is a matter of success or failure!"
"My brother-in-law has the greatest respect. If you ask, your mother will definitely agree. Thank you very much, little brother. I am finally free - haha!"
¡¡¡¡¡¡
Cao Xiong clasped his fists in thanksgiving and went back to greet the guests happily, but Xiao Yi fell into deep thought. As the traitor grew old and frail, it was inevitable to establish a heir apparent, and the fight between the legitimate sons became more and more intense. It even smelled like blood.
Although Cao Xiong concealed it very well and pretended to be impulsive as a young man, Xiao Yi could still see from the depths of his eyes that the Fifth Young Master had ulterior motives, and it was not difficult to guess:
The first type - to be alone: ??leaving the capital, Xuchang, also leaves the political center, showing that one is not interested in rights, and also reassuring several brothers to avoid becoming victims of political struggles!
If this is the best, for the sake of Cao Jie, Xiao Yi is willing to spread his wings and protect his brother-in-law, so that he can stay away from political struggles and live a carefree and prosperous life!
The second option is to retreat to advance: first hide in a safe place and watch the three brothers fight. When they are exhausted and all three are defeated, kill one of them to return to the throne and win the position of heir!
This is too terrible. It means that the fifth son's city is not under his father Cao Cao, and Xiao Yi has to add an opponent to his blacklist, and he is also a terrible opponent!
Based on personal wishes, Xiao Yi naturally hopes that Cao Xiong is the former. However, judging from historical records, among the children of the Cao family, there has never been a master hermit, and no one can be indifferent to fame and fortune. This is a man with a strong desire for power and a strong desire for power. And what a combative family!
"In addition, Cao Xiong just said that uninvited guests came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and made a mess. What does this mean? Who has such great ability to mess up the Prime Minister's Mansion?
With all kinds of questions, Xiao Yi walked to the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs were all entangled together. It was so confusing that they couldn't be sorted out! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Now that we are together, it¡¯s so messy and cumbersome!
