Chapter 365 True Dragon Swallows the Moon [Thanks to the New Alliance Immortal Qi Tian]
When Fu Shou was called from the back hall to the front hall by attendants, only the emperor was still sitting there, and Liu Bei had already left.
"Your Majesty is looking for me."
Fu Shou sat down next to the emperor.
The two of them were a couple who had been through thick and thin together, and their circumstances had been dire for many years.
"Queen."
Liu Xie looked at Fu Shou.
Fu Shou was one year older than him, nearly twenty years old, with a pretty face and fair skin.
The emperor looked away from Fu Shou:
"After the Fu family came to Yizhou, they occupied a lot of land, all of which were good farmland, and they also hired hundreds of servants. Does the queen know about this?"
Fu Shou shook his head: "I haven't heard my father mention it."
"But if the family has some money and buys more good land, they won't have to worry about famine. Is there anything wrong with that?"
The emperor said, "Yue Weng's family has over a thousand scholars. After coming to Yizhou, they seized people's good farmland. Fu's family manages the food for a thousand households."
Fu Shou heard something: "Your Majesty, what did you hear people say?"
He added: “Your Majesty, please think about it carefully.
We were imprisoned in the palace and almost ran out of food. Where did the food that kept us alive come from?"
"If it weren't for my father's management, what would we eat all these years?"
"If you don't support some people, how can you protect yourself?"
"In this world, whoever has the troops will be obeyed."
"We have set up some businesses and raised some people in Yizhou. My father used my Fu family's savings to give to Liu Jiyu, the former governor of Yizhou, in exchange for that.
If he doesn't allow, how dare we occupy more land?
Do you think, Your Majesty, that you can get the good farmland for free because of me or because of you, servant?"
Fu Shou stood up from where he was sitting and looked directly at the emperor:
"Your Majesty suddenly said this. If you want to do something, you might as well tell me directly."
The emperor swallowed.
Fu Shou had never gotten angry with him before, this was the first time.
The emperor had eaten a lot of things from the Fu family over the years, so he couldn't help but say, "Liu Yizhou was here just now.
He wants to rectify Yizhou, and Cao Mengde may attack at any time, so he cannot delay for a moment, and must use severe punishment to achieve miraculous results. "
“In the past few years, under the rule of Cao Mengde, all the good farmland and land occupied by the nobles were returned to the people.
The money gained from eliminating the nobles can be used to support the army, so it can unite the people and become stronger and stronger. "
"In the past few years, I have also been wondering how Cao Mengde could rule the nine provinces and defeat the rebels in various places.
I think some of what Liu Yizhou said is correct. With my prestige and his troops, we can gather the strength to deal with Cao Wei as quickly as possible. "
Fu Shou stared at the emperor:
"So Your Majesty wants to unite with Liu Yizhou and get rid of my Fu family first, right?"
The girl from the Fu family, who had married into the palace at a young age, finally understood.
Her eyes suddenly became sharp:
"There are many Liu clan members in Yizhou. Why don't we start with your Liu clan members? Wouldn't it be more effective?"
She suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her bun and put it against her throat:
"Your Majesty, even if you don't care about the love between husband and wife, have you ever thought about whose family you have been eating all these years? Who has stayed with you in times of danger?
I only have my father and brother left at home, do you want to bring them to justice?"
"You want to learn from Cao Mengde, but he has 500,000 soldiers and many civil and military officials, and can sweep across the world. Do you have what it takes?
Liu Yizhou will push you out and bring the gentry to justice. Then your Majesty will have to bear the backlash from the gentry.
"Do you have Cao Cao's troops to resist the nobles? If Liu Bei gets the upper hand, you will have to bear the consequences. Have you ever thought about this?"
Liu Xie was not stupid, he was just kept in a circle and was isolated from the news.
These many inconveniences made him lose his understanding of the world, and he became more and more anxious and desperate.
He looked at the queen and said in a sad voice, "I know what the queen said.
But first of all, I have observed that Liu Yizhou is not an ungrateful person.
Secondly, this is my chance to restore my imperial power.
Liu Yizhou agreed to let my people take charge of the army. He would give up the power to dispatch troops in this operation.
I am not going to prosecute your father and brother. I have already told Liu Yizhou that the Fu family should just return the extra land, money and grain they occupied.
I will bring them to justice and punish them severely, and I will choose another one."
"As compensation, the commander of the troops will be someone from the Fu family, your brother. Is this okay with you, Queen?"
Fu Shou put down the hairpin, and the couple looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly threw themselves together, hugging each other and crying bitterly.
Liu Bei returned to the mansion and issued several more orders, ready to clear up the chaos inside and outside the palace.
----
The setting sun.
There was a small courtyard next to the inner residence of the Cao Mansion, with smoke rising from the chimney.
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Cao family had two small piles of stones stacked beside her.
There was a fire in the middle of the stone, and chicken legs and necks were roasting on it.
On the other side, on the fire, there was a bronze tripod, in which fruits and vegetables were cooked.
Xun Yun and another fat boy were watching the fire, adding branches continuously, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was extremely busy, and from time to time she used her chubby little hands to sprinkle the salt stolen from the kitchen into the cauldron.
A few little guys were secretly starting a fire and trying to cook, and they were all very energetic.
Behind the wall a little further away, there stood three people and a tiger. The four faces had the same expression, and they were all looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess and her friends.
Yin Fei pulled Cao Cao over and pointed at the location of the burning flames with his tiger claws, meaning, "Do you care if your daughter plays with fire?"
Cao Cao asked, "Who is that fat boy?"
"The youngest son of Xun Gongda." Xu Chu said.
Cao Cao said "Oh", the youngest son of Xun You.
My daughter is very good at uniting other children and can guide the two children of the Xun family around.
"King Wei, the food cooked by your eldest daughter is very delicious." Dian Wei said.
Xu Chu nodded in agreement: "It should be praised."
Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they were really amazing.
Each of them used one sentence to fully express their greatest hobbies: one loves to eat, and the other loves to hear praise.
He came out from behind the wall and walked towards his daughter.
When Her Royal Highness the Princess heard the footsteps, she immediately reacted like a god.
As soon as she heard the voice, she knew without turning around that an adult was coming, and she immediately scolded the two little friends in a childish voice:
"I told you not to light a fire, but you didn't listen. Now put out the fire. If you light a fire at home, I will tell Uncle Xun and punish you severely." This is a complete blame-shifting.
Xun Yun and Xun You's younger son, Xun Yan, were both stunned and stared at Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Wasn't it you who suggested starting the fire?
When the two men saw Cao Cao and were about to speak, they were glared at by the Princess and hurriedly lowered their heads, apparently preparing to be scapegoats.
Cao Cao came over, picked up his daughter, and wiped the black dust off her face:
"My dear girl, next time you encounter something like this, don't put the blame on others.
Even if you didn't do it, when the adults come, you should take responsibility and protect your playmates."
“When faced with responsibilities, we must protect them and unite them.”
Cao Cao held his daughter in his arms and asked someone to put out the fire.
Dian Wei ate all the food the children roasted. It was quite salty, but he didn’t want to waste food.
Several people returned to the inner house.
Cao Cao kissed his daughter's little face, which was so smooth that it was unimaginable.
In the evening, he came to Yu Qing's room.
After hearing this, my fat wife, as always, treated it as a joke:
"I can't control your daughter. When you were not at home, she was taken to live with my father. You only sent her back when you came back. It's lawless."
Yu Qing waved her little hands, and her attitude of passing the buck was exactly the same as her daughter's.
Cao Cao took his fat wife over and tried to find out the source of her fatness.
The night is getting darker.
The two of them went to Wushan together to seek good dreams and had a great time.
The first scene is Yu Qing, the second scene turns to Du Xiu Niang, and then she gets up on Zou Yuan's couch.
Zou Yuan is pregnant, and she looks very charming.
early morning.
Cao Cao came to a quiet room to nourish the strength in his body.
He is now practicing, and his aura is extremely majestic.
The totem true dragon was born, soaring up to the clouds, breathing in the energy of heaven and earth, as if swallowing the moon.
If you look at it from the perspective of observing Qi, it seems as if there is a long river hanging upside down, gathering into Qi and being swallowed by the real dragon.
The stars and the moon both had halos hanging down, flowing from the sky, and finally disappearing into the mouth of the real dragon.
This is already a practice at the mythological level, with a true dragon guiding and absorbing the power of the stars and the moon.
Twilight.
Cao Cao took out the Xiantai Seal, examined it and played with it, then took out the Mountain and River Mirror obtained from Emperor Wu’s tomb and pushed the emperor’s luck into the mirror.
After this period of exploration, he has roughly figured out the purpose of the mirror.
A scene appeared in the mirror, with an energy like chaos, rising and falling, and also like a spring, surging endlessly.
Then the scene changes, and you can see surging energy inside a large bronze tripod.
The location and origin of the tripod are unknown.
Cao Cao observed for some time and guessed that the energy reflected in the mirror was most likely a special place somewhere in Shenzhou, where the energy of heaven and earth was overflowing.
Mountain and River Mirror, Mountain and River Mirror, its function is to illuminate the mountains and rivers of China and observe the destiny of humanity.
Cao Cao still hasn't figured out what that tripod is.
But it can carry the destiny of humanity and manifest the rise and fall, so it is obviously not an ordinary thing.
This mirror was refined by Emperor Wu and is used to observe the increase in human fortune, which is in line with his status as an emperor.
Regarding the Mountain and River Mirror, Cao Cao has only discovered these things so far.
It's bright.
He went to the study and began to manage the affairs.
It is worth mentioning that Wen Ji was pregnant, and only Diao Chan was left in the study, so she was a little overwhelmed.
Zhen Mi, who had been frequently visiting the mansion recently, volunteered to go to the study to help organize files and became the new female clerk.
Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask Wen Ji.
In the study, Diao Chan on the left and Zhen Mi on the right.
Diao Chan is wearing a red skirt.
Zhen Mi was wearing a moon-white dress. The overlapping neckline and the white neck contrasted so well that it was hard to tell which one was whiter.
A few days later, Cao Cao received news that Liu Bei was speeding up things in Yizhou and pushing the emperor to the forefront.
Liu Bei worked very hard.
In Jiangdong, Cao's army marched south, and Gan Ning and Cai Mao led the navy to attack the south bank of the Yangtze River.
The Jiangdong nobles were horrified upon hearing the news and wrote letters to ask Sun Quan to summon Zhou Yu back.
In mid-June, Sun Quan could no longer withstand the pressure, and Gan Ning and Cai Mao were quite powerful, so he finally summoned Zhou Yu to the front line and asked him to return for support.
Zhou Yu then stopped the war in Jingzhou and returned to Jiangdong.
By July, Cao's army had also withdrawn from Jiangdong.
Liu Bei joined forces with the emperor and formally launched the strategy of clearing the interior and attacking externally in Yizhou.
With the proceeds from confiscating the gentry and "robbing the rich to help the poor", Liu Bei supported Zhang Fei in sending troops to annex and expel the Qiang and Di tribes west of Yizhou.
Zhang Fei was suppressed several times when he faced Cao Wei.
That’s because Cao Wei had many powerful generals.
If Zhang Fei were released alone, his bravery would be as good as anyone else's.
He led the troops that had followed Liu Bei for several years and entered the west of Yizhou, where he immediately defeated two tribes that had had friction with Yizhou in the past.
Several days later, mid-July.
Zhang Fei fought bravely in the west of Yizhou and his reputation for ferocity gradually grew. The Qiang, Di and other foreign tribes called him the big-eyed, black-haired killing god.
However, Zhang Fei's raid and killing also caused the western Qiang and Di tribes to unite.
The test for Liu Bei's offensive against the tribes around Yizhou had just begun.
At this time, the gentry within Yizhou also rebelled.
The situation in Yizhou is far from stable.
In Yecheng, Boss Cao sat on the mountain and watched the tigers, leisurely promoting all parties.
Several other messages followed.
"Your Majesty, they said they are waiting for you to come over and check it out. They also said they would be happy if you saw it." The soldier came to report.
Ps: I looked at the backstage last night and found that there was a tip for the leader. Thank you very much. There will be more chapters. But I really don’t have any drafts saved. I will prepare and add more when the plot goes smoothly. Thank you for your support
