Chapter 716: A Message to His Majesty
Cao Shuo felt something was wrong when he was about to leave Xu Du.
If he had a choice, he would definitely let Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others leave, keep Changxi in Xudu, or simply find a chance to kill Changxi.
In recent days, he has been focusing on Liu Bei, Dong Cheng and others, but he has ignored it.
He was about to leave Xudu, and there was no reason to persuade Changxi to stay.
Cao Shu bowed to Zang Ba and others and said, "All the generals are willing to make achievements for the Cao family. I will thank you here first!"
Several people returned the gift to Cao Shu and watched him walk away before entering the Cao family.
Changxi asked Zang Ba and others: "It seems that there is not much time for the young master to come to Xu Du, why did he leave in such a hurry?"
"He is the son of the Cao family, and now he has occupied Huainan again, so of course there are a lot of affairs." Wu Dun said: "We have had contact with the young masters and knew that he was generous and cheerful. I heard that he had a good hand in marching and fighting and governing the place, so how close he would have to be in the future."
"That's it!" said Changxi: "Sir, Cao's son, Cao must pass on the Cao family to him in the future. Since we have already joined him, of course we have to be as close as possible."
"After joining the Cao family, several generals thought of this." Zang Ba smiled slightly: "Don't you think it's a bit too early?"
Zang Ba suddenly said something, and Wu Dun showed guilt on his face, but Changxi smiled dismissively: "It's wrong for General Zang to say this. Who is not doing it for a future in this world? We are close to the eldest son, so we can't say what's wrong."
After looking at him, Zang Ba did not say anything else and walked forward with a few people.
After leaving the Cao family, Cao Shu took Cai Ji and several guards to the palace.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the palace, Cai Ji asked Cao Shu: "Young Master saw Chang Xi twice, and his eyes were different from others. Could it be that person also needs to be wary of?"
Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Cai Ji, "Did you see it?"
"It's not just obvious." Cai Ji said: "What the young master said is too obvious."
"Chang Xi is different from Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others." Cao Shuo said: "Although they are both from Yellow Turbans, their bandits are more intense than others."
"Young Master means he will definitely achieve great things in the future?" Cai Ji asked.
Cao Shu shook his head: "I'm not worried about how great he can achieve, but I'm worried that he will stab the Cao family in the back!"
Since following Cao Shu, in Cai Ji's impression, he seems to have never missed anyone.
After Cao Shu said this, Cai Ji asked, "What the young master means is that this person cannot be kept?"
"It's not certain whether I can stay or not." Cao Shuo said: "I will leave Xu Du early tomorrow morning and I don't have much attention to him. Even if he rebels in the future, with the power of our Cao family, destroying him is not a big deal. Don't worry about this person, let him go."
As he spoke, Cao Shu and others had already arrived at the main entrance of the palace.
When the guards guarding the palace saw that he was coming, they dared not come forward to interrogate him. They saluted him respectfully.
Ignoring the guards, Cao Shu took his men directly into the palace.
Not far away, a regular servant hurried towards him.
"Your Majesty learned that General Zuo was coming, so he specially asked me to come and greet him." When he came to Cao Shu, the Chang Shi said with a big gift.
"I'm not here to meet His Majesty, but to meet the Empress Dowager." Cao Shu replied and asked, "Although the palace was not very lively in the past, some palace maids were walking around. What's going on today? It's so deserted?"
"Don't General Zuo know?" Chang Shi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head again.
"What do I know?" Cao Shu still pretended to be confused, knowing that the palace was deserted because of the murder of Concubine Dong.
"Guru Dong was killed by Gong Cao." The attendant said, "Your Majesty dared not to mourn, so the palace is so deserted."
"So that's how it is." Cao Shu said as if he had expected it, "Guru Dong is too reckless in his work. I thought his father would put her in house arrest, but he didn't expect to kill her directly. Fortunately, this matter did not involve His Majesty, but only made His Majesty frightened."
"Your Majesty is also very upset." The attendant said, "He didn't expect that Concubine Dong and Dong Cheng had such courage to pretend to be your Majesty's order, with the intention of not being good to Cao Gong!"
Cao Shu said to the attendant: "Actually, Concubine Dong and Dong Cheng are in vain. My father's command has countless soldiers and horses. I have tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Huainan. Even if they succeed, they can control the situation in Xudu? Can control Xudu and control the whole world? In the end, the one who suffers from suffering is His Majesty."
"General Zuo said," said the attendant, "In addition to Concubine Dong, there are attendantes in the palace who also have accomplices with them. I feel heartbroken when I think about it."
"You are with Your Majesty all day, which will have some impact on Your Majesty." Cao Shuo said: "You should tell Your Majesty more positive things and don't always make him feel negative."
"General Zuo really won't go to see Your Majesty?" asked the Changshi.
Cao Shu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty will feel uncomfortable when he dies. I'd better not to see him at this time. Please give him a message to His Majesty, hoping that he will be mourning. The Han Dynasty is still waiting for Your Majesty to lead us to restore it."
"Please rest assured General Zuo." The attendant bowed and said, "I will bring the words of the general to His Majesty word for it."
After saying goodbye to the Changshou, Cao Shu took Cai Ji and others to the attic where Tang Ji lived.
When he arrived outside the attic, he ordered Cai Ji and others: "You are all waiting here."
Cai Ji responded, Cao Shuo stepped forward and patted the door and shouted, "Miss Cai'er, please open the door."
When Cao Shu came, Cai'er had already seen him upstairs.
He just took a few slaps on the door and Cai'er's voice came from the attic: "Here you come!"
When the door opened, Cai'er bowed to Cao Shu and asked, "Why does the young master have the time to come?"
"I will return to Huainan tomorrow and I will tell the Queen Mother specifically that you can clean up the fine and soft tonight and go back with me." Cao Shu said.
"Young Master is going back to Huainan?" Cai'er asked.
"Yes!" Cao Shu said: "A lot of things are together. Although there are people in Huainan, I will not be in charge. After all, some things are difficult to make decisions immediately."
"I would like to ask the young master to tell the queen mother in person." Cai'er said: "She is reading a book in the attic at this time."
"The Empress Dowager either plays the piano or reads books every day, and her life is leisurely." Cao Shu said: "When I arrive in Huainan, I will try to arrange a quieter place for her."
"Young Master really thinks the Empress Dowager likes leisure?" Cai'er sighed: "You really don't understand your daughter's thoughts."
"Why did Miss Cai'er say that?" Cao Shu asked, "Does the Empress Dowager feel that life is not good now?"
