Chapter 2290 The Huns are dying(1/2)
Cao Shu and others left the place where the ceremony was held, and when they went down the mountain, they passed the altar of the walking ceremony.
He originally thought that he only needed an altar to worship the sky at Mount Tai, and it would be done within one day. Unexpectedly, it was so complicated that the Fengshan ceremony was not held in the same place.
No wonder I have to stay on the top of Mount Tai for three days when I perform the Fengshan ceremony.
As Guo Jia said before, it was already dark when everyone went down the mountain.
When he returned to his residence, Cao Shuo entered the room and Yuan Fang came out and asked, "Honey, are you back? What do you think when you climb Mount Tai today?"
"It's so cold that it's so cold." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Yuan Fang: "Although I feel heart-wrenching when I look down at the mountains, I feel like I can't speak."
"I wonder what my husband feels like?" Yuan Fang asked.
"Loneliness is not only loneliness, but also loneliness." Cao Shuo said: "The Central Plains have been unified, and the world has long been in my hands. Perhaps this loneliness comes from not knowing why we should strive, or perhaps everyone around us is more afraid of me than close to me."
"Why do you think this way?" Yuan Fang said: "No matter what, at least I am by my husband's side."
Cao Shu hugged her in his arms, tilted his head to look at her face, and suddenly smiled badly and said, "Since taking Gan Shi's elixir, the lady has become more youthful and beautiful."
"Isn't my husband still knowing how to get benefits from Gan Shi? Recently, I feel that my body is lighter than before." Yuan Fang responded.
"I feel that my body is light and I am returning to my youth." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "It's a pity that Gan Shi's pills can only make people look like they are returning to my youth, and one day they will still leave the world."
"Actually, I have been thinking that it would be great if I could use it to keep getting older." Yuan Fang replied: "It is not scary to leave the world. What is scary is that my old and beautiful person is so ugly that my husband can't see him."
"You and I are married, how could you lose your mood?" Cao Shu hugged her and said, "But it is good to be able to stay young forever. Recently, seeing that my mother has returned to her youth, I feel that I have done something for her."
"Honey, have you ever thought about something?" Yuan Fang suddenly asked Cao Shu.
"What have you thought about?" Cao Shuo asked her in surprise.
Yuan Fang replied: "Have you ever thought about letting Gan Shi refine more elixirs and send some to every general and minister of the Wei Dynasty. So that these people can also receive the favor of their husbands."
"The entire court of the Great Wei Dynasty has distributed elixirs, so why don't Gan Shi be exhausted?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "But my wife mentioned it, I can consider asking Gan Shi to refine more and give to those ministers who have made contributions."
"No one doesn't want to return to youth," said Yuan Fang. "My husband really wants to use elixirs as the last time. I think there will definitely be many people fighting for it."
"I will really save a lot of worries if you are the queen in the Great Wei Dynasty." Hugging Yuan Fang, Cao Shu said: "Since you have these elixirs, you have all returned to your youth. I may not be able to have more children in the future..."
"My husband already has dozens of children, do you think it's not enough?" Yuan Fang smiled slightly and said to Cao Shu: "With more children, the back house will be a little difficult to manage..."
"With you here, I don't have to worry about the affairs of the back house." Cao Shu picked up Yuan Fang and walked to the bedroom and said, "We will be a baby tonight."
He was hugged by Cao Shu, Yuan Fang hugged his neck: "Husband should be gentler tonight. Since I left Chang'an, I have been favored by my husband every day, and the place seems to be a little swollen..."
"I can only say that I worked too hard." He hugged her into the room, Cao Shu closed the door with his feet and said to Yuan Fang: "In order to be able to make another baby, I should also sell some strength."
Cao Shu still spoke indifferently, and Yuan Fang was speechless.
Having been a couple with Cao Shu for so many years, she certainly understands Cao Shu's nature.
It is easy to change the country and nature is difficult to change. It seems that it will be difficult for Cao Shu to change his temperament in this life...
Cao Shu and Yuan Fang do something in the house, so I won’t mention him for now.
It was said that Cao Heng and his brothers went down the mountain and returned to their residences.
The other brothers dispersed, but Cao Yi followed Cao Heng to his room.
"In two days, it will be Xin Ri. My father will go on stage to worship the sky, so we will not be idle." Cao Heng said to Cao Yi: "If nothing happens, you will go and rest."
"I just want to talk to my elder brother." Cao Yi replied: "If I don't say it out, I always feel that something is blocking in my heart, which makes people feel very uncomfortable."
"What do you have to say at night?" Cao Heng asked him.
"The elder brother also heard what my father said on the top of Mount Tai today." Cao Yi said: "Does the elder brother think that my father seems to have something in his words?"
"My father has always been like this. How could there be something in his words?" Cao Heng smiled slightly, patted Cao Yi's arm gently, and asked deliberately: "Did you feel a little guilty after listening to those words?"
Cao Heng was just joking about him, but Cao Yi dared not joke with him on this topic. He was shocked and said quickly: "Brother Mingjian, I have no ability, but I will never dare to compete with my elder brother for the world. I have no other thoughts in my life. The only thing I want to do is to follow my elder brother, fight with my elder brother, and build an infinite country for the Great Wei."
"I'm just joking, and you don't have to take it to your heart." Cao Yi's panicked response made Cao Heng feel that he shouldn't ask that, so he smiled and said to Cao Yi: "You really don't need to care too much about these things. What my father said is not for you. We have been very close since childhood, so how could my father not know? He said that he said those on the top of Mount Tai, not for you alone, but for all his brothers."
When he went down the mountain, Cao Yi was thinking about this matter all the time.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened he felt.
Cao Shu's words were not serious, and he clearly stated that whenever someone attempted to seize power from the prince, he would no longer be the prince of the Great Wei, and he would not even recognize his own son.
If the other brothers really encounter such consequences, they cannot afford it, and Cao Yi, as the second son, can't afford it either.
Therefore, when he returned to his residence, he would come with Cao Heng.
What he wanted to do was to ask Cao Heng what Cao Shu meant, and the other was to tell Cao Heng that he would follow his elder brother in this life and would never have any inappropriate thoughts.
Cao Yi studied since childhood and did not understand martial arts at all.
Growing up with him, I also know him very well. Of course, Cao Heng knew that although this brother is very smart, he is kind.
It is precisely because of knowing Cao Yi's character that Cao Heng begged Cao Shu to come out of seclusion and bring him with him next time.
Especially when organizing a marriage for Cao Yi, if Cao Heng had a bad relationship with him, or if he felt that Cao Yi could not have a close relationship with him, he would never take such a thing into his mind.
After patting Cao Yi's arm gently, Cao Heng said, "Don't think too much, I believe you, my father will definitely believe you. After all, this matter is really involved in the interests of me, not other brothers. My father said those words just to give his brothers a warning. Never try to fight against brothers like the Qin and the Han, and not like the Yuan brothers in the past, where the other brothers were still outside, and they actually held their own troops and started a fight for the world.
If that were the case, let alone my father would not spare you, even me would never be sympathetic. Whenever he fought for power, he would definitely live to the death. When he was in a situation where he was alive, how could there be any brotherhood? When my father killed his second uncle, it was not because his second uncle killed other uncles, but he was still thinking about seeking his father's life. If he didn't kill his second uncle, his father would sooner or later be harmed by him. Even if he couldn't harm his father, as long as he lived, our lives would be better?"
"With my father and brother here, I don't believe he can cause any storm." Cao Yi clenched his fists and said, "I have never heard my father mention this in the past. Some of the things I know are all heard from other places, and I don't know whether it is true or false. I didn't expect that my father would tell us this on the top of Mount Tai today. I was very surprised when I was frightened."
"I went to Mount Tai, and you didn't feel tired even if you were tired?" Cao Shuo asked Cao Yi.
"Of course I'm tired, but I didn't explain it clearly. I must be unable to sleep well tonight." Cao Yi replied: "With my elder brother's reassurance, I feel much better."
"I told you, don't think too much." Cao Heng smiled and said, "Go back to sleep. When it's Xinri, we will also worship the sky on the top of Mount Tai. You will be even more tired at that time."
"Thank you, elder brother, for your reminder." Cao Yi replied and said to Cao Heng: "I'll take my leave first."
Cao Heng nodded and sent Cao Yi out of the door.
Cao Shu led everyone to Mount Tai to worship the sky. At this time, Hetao did not wait until Huchuquan was sent back and was full of anger.
The return messenger conveyed to him what Cao Shu said.
He slapped the table and said furiously: "The King of Wei bullies me, so you must not just let it go!"
"What are my father going to do?" A young Hun king sitting on the left asked Jubei.
He is the eldest son Liu Meng who is dehumi.
Since the Southern Xiongnu were defeated by Emperor Ming of Han, Dou Gu, Dou Xian and others, they have followed the surnames of the Han court. Although some Huns did not have a surname Liu, more Xiongnu nobles took Liu as their surname.
Frowning, Gebei's face turned gloomy.
After a long time, he asked the Hun kings who were sitting, "What should you do if you think I should do so that the King of Wei can understand that our Great Huns were not the time when we let him bully him in the past."
The reason why I said this was nothing more than that since Cao Shu fought back against the Huns, he had been working hard to govern the Huns in an orderly manner, while the Wei Dynasty had been in war. Logically speaking, the development would definitely not be faster than the Huns.
It is precisely because of this idea that I dared to send someone to Luoyang to ask for Huchuquan.
As long as Cao Shu really sent Hu Chuquan back, it proves that the Wei Dynasty did not have the strength to fight the Huns at present.
When Huchuquan was resolved and the power of the Huns was taken into consideration, it was time to consider striking the Wei Dynasty.
But he didn't expect that the messenger sent to ask Hu Chuquan to come back and brought back the rejected news.
In addition to being surprised, all I can do is to be angry.
The kings of various Xiongnu tribes who were sitting there did not say anything.
Although the Huns have indeed managed to manage the Huns in an orderly manner over the years and the population of the Huns has increased a lot, many of them are still scared when they remembered the past when they were attacked by Cao Shu.
"What?" Qubei frowned and asked everyone: "Are you all dumb? The Great Wei bullies us for a long time. I have been committed to strengthening the Huns for so many years, in order to one day be able to avenge the people of the Central Plains. I always think about getting back my face from the Great Wei, but you are really disappointing!"
After saying this, everyone understood what he meant.
Liu Meng stood up and said to Goubei, "Father, I am willing to lead the warriors to open the way for my father to attack the Great Wei. When our Great Huns enter the hinterland of the Great Wei, what I want is not just Huchuquan, but also the head of the King of Wei's neck."
"I don't agree with what my brother said." Liu Meng had to be humble, but another Xiongnu boy present said: "I think in terms of strength, our Great Huns are not the enemy of the Great Wei. If you want to Huo Chuquan, you have to use strategy to achieve it."
The boy who spoke was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his face was very smart.
All the names of Liu Meng are called the eldest brother because he is the second son of Dubi, Liu Gaoshengyuan.
Although Liu Gaoshengyuan and Liu Meng were the same mother, he never spoke and did things as recklessly as Liu Meng.
After Lu Bei took over the Huns, Liu Meng and Liu Gaoshengyuan's status in the Huns tribe was also higher than that of Japanese. However, in comparison, Lu Bei liked Liu Meng more, and he did not particularly like Liu Gaoshengyuan.
The Huns have always advocated bravery and have supreme respect for warriors.
Liu Gaoshengyuan was not as brave as Liu Meng, but he was much smarter than him. In the eyes of being a Hun, he was not like a Hun, but rather like a scheming Central Plains man.
Frowning, he went to Liu Gaoshengyuan and asked, "What do you mean by these? Could it be that in your opinion, we Great Huns warriors are not as good as those of the Central Plains?"
"It's not like that." Liu Gaoshengyuan said: "The Great Huns warriors grew up on horseback since childhood, and everyone is a good archer and horse riding and shooting. Compared to us, the Central Plains people are much more submissive. When it comes to martial arts, the Central Plains people will definitely not be the enemy of our Great Huns."
"Since that's the case, why do you still say that we are not the opponents of the Great Wei at the moment?" asked Gebei, "Do you have any other statements?"
"My father only knows that the Great Huns have grown a lot recently, have you ever heard that the Great Wei is different from the past?" Liu Gaoshengyuan said: "Although they have experienced many years of wars and have not been pacified for too long, the Great Wei has repeatedly allocated weapons from Penglai Island. It is said that their weapons have the power to shake mountains and rivers, and they cannot be compared with the horses and swords of our Great Hun warriors."
"What kind of weapons do the Great Wei do?" Qubei frowned and said, "It's just some weird ideas and tricks."
"A few days ago, many Jie people fled to the Great Huns." Liu Gaoshengyuan said, "I also took in some Jie people, a few of them. I saw that they were extremely brave, so I stayed by my side as a follower. If my father wanted to learn about the weapons of the Great Wei, I summoned them in and asked them to understand."
"The Jie people were dependent on the Great Huns earlier, because we were attacked by the King of Wei a few years ago, and our strength was not as good as before. Tu Ge made trouble again, which brought us a lot of trouble. They took the opportunity to escape from the Great Huns and were originally traitors of the Huns." Before Gebei could speak, Liu Meng had already spoken: "The Jie people are capricious, brothers should not bewitched by their words."
"The father and brother don't know something." Liu Gaoshengyuan said to Qubei and Liu Meng: "The King of Wei hates Jie people, but it is better than our Xiongnu. The eldest son of the Great Wei personally led the army to attack Yunzhong, and did not leave many prisoners of Jie people, but instead ordered them to be killed. The women of Jie people were sent to the Central Plains by them as goods. If the Great Huns had not taken in some Jie people, they would have been destroyed. The Great Wei hated Jie people, how could the Jie people not hate them? Although the Jie people were capricious, when they talked about the Great Wei, they should not have too many false heads."
"Then call two of your entourages in." Qubei said, "I have something to ask them."
