Chapter 47

Just as Cao Miao was lying bored on the Hu bed in the corridor, thinking about how to survive, Cao Shuang came.

Cao Shuang was the emperor's confidant and the righteous man. Although he did not ask others to follow him, no one dared not to come. So, the courtyard, which had always been neglected, suddenly became crowded with people, and a large group of well-dressed officials and scholars stood.

When the distinguished guests came to the door, Qingtao, who had always been calm, was a little panicked. Cao Shuang was not an ordinary guest, so she couldn't let them stand. However, there were never any guests in the yard, and there were not many seats, and there was no seat worthy of the emperor's envoy. I was anxious to find it.

Qingtao and Hongxing were so panicked that they were at a loss and were wandering around. Cao Miao lay on Hu's bed, motionless, but was a little annoyed, and slapped Hu's bed.

"Qingtao, stay quiet. Trouble me to take a nap and be careful to whip you."

Qingtao's face turned red and did not dare to speak, and stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Cao Miao rolled his eyes, turned his back to Cao Shuang. Perhaps because he felt a little itchy behind his back, he knocked on Hu Biao and pointed his fingers. Although Qingtao was ashamed of embarrassment, he did not dare to disobey and stepped forward to scratch Cao Miao. Cao Miao was very satisfied and shouted loudly.

"It's great! It's great! More importantly, the area is bigger. Oh, it's so great!"

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes floated towards Cao Shuang. Is this a swearing person in person? It is too much to call Cao Shuang's name directly, and Cao Shuang's father, General Cao Zhen, added. This prince is not only sick, but also very ill. It would be too rude to do this if he is more normal.

Cao Zhi looked embarrassed and coughed: "How about..."

Cao Shuang waved his hand. "Yun Gong doesn't have to be polite. Speaking of which, although I am a few years older, I am the same generation as Yunliang and I played together back then. I felt uncomfortable seeing him like this."

Cao Zhi responded vaguely twice and stepped aside. Cao Shuang stepped forward, leaned down hard, and said softly: "Yunliang, do you still remember me?"

Cao Miao opened his eyes and looked at Cao Shuang. "Who are you?"

Cao Shuang had a gentle smile on her round face. "I am Cao Shuang. At that time, we were in Yecheng, and we climbed Jinyong City together. I was always behind. They didn't wait for me and even joked about me. You are the only one who is willing to be with me. Do you still remember?"

Cao Miao had no impression of it at all. However, he had a good impression of the fat man in front of him. His eyes were clear and his smile was sincere. Although his movements were not very flexible, he did not look like a mentally retarded. If he did not know the historical ending, it would be difficult for him to associate this person with the scum who ruined the great Wei Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he had a goal in his life.

It must be Cao Cao who asked me to discipline these prodigal sons.

Cao Miao sat up and signaled Qingtao to continue tickling the itch while looking at Cao Shuang. "So it's you. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have gained a lot of weight again."

Cao Shuang smiled even brighter, her eyes narrowed into a slit. "I can't do anything, my ancestors. Do you still remember me, Ah Weng? He is fatter now and can't find a suitable mount even if he rides a horse. He can only ride a car. He is often dizzy and can only lie down when he gets angry. He has hired all famous doctors in the world, and has spent countless money, and has no use at all."

Cao Miao felt a little sad. He knew that Cao Zhen had not been there for several years and died of illness, but he didn't know what the disease was. After Cao Shuang said that this was the three highs caused by obesity. Not to mention now, it cannot be cured in the 21st century and can only be controlled.

"Then you have to be careful, don't be like you, Ah Weng." Cao Miao reached out and patted Cao Shuang's round belly and laughed.

Cao Shuang moved over and sat down beside Hu's bed. The sturdy Hu bed was creaking. "Yunliang, is there a way to cure it?"

"It depends on whether you are willing to give up or not."

Cao Shuang patted her chest and shook her fat body. "As long as I can lose weight, I can agree to you any conditions."

Cao Miao grinned, stared at Cao Shuang's white and fat face, and said word by word: "I want all your property."

The smile on Cao Shuang's face remained unchanged, and there was a little more smile in her eyes, as if she was not surprised by Cao Miao's answer. The two of them looked at each other and stared at her for a moment. Cao Miao's face did not change, but Cao Shuang felt guilty, lowered her head, stroked her thighs with her hand, pondered for a moment, and raised her head again.

"Yunliang, although my father was trusted by the late emperor and Your Majesty, he was named Marquis of Shaoling and was appointed as the General. He had little wealth. How could he compare with Yunliang as a vassal? If you can contribute to the country and share your worries, Your Majesty will have a reward. What is the small property of the General's Mansion?"

Cao Miao heard Cao Shuang’s implication, but he remained calm and just looked at Cao Shuang quietly.

Cao Zhi changed his face and was full of passion. He understood Cao Shuang's meaning - or His Majesty's meaning. His Majesty intended to let Cao Zhi become an official and wanted to use him more. Isn't this what my father Cao Zhi has been looking forward to? His father repeatedly asked for his own trial, but now he finally got an answer, although His Majesty wanted to use Cao Miao, not Cao Zhi himself.

Cao Zhi held his breath, fearing that Cao Miao would not understand, and missed this great opportunity, so he winked Cao Miao repeatedly.

Cao Miao wanted to kick Cao Zhi out of the yard. Why is this kid so naive? Whatever people say, you believe?

Cao Shuang saw it clearly and understood in his heart. His Majesty guessed it well. Cao Miao was most likely to be cured of illness and just pretended to be crazy. What kind of Emperor Wu asked a dream and what kind of inner alchemy techniques were all lies made up by their father and son. Such things are not uncommon, and there are many records in history books, and they have seen them a lot.

Cao Zhi was cunning and denied that Cao Miao was cured. Cao Zhi revealed his flaws, but because he was too young, it was not enough to prove it. Now as long as Cao Miao admits, this matter will be confirmed. Whether it is used or severely punished at that time depends on His Majesty's mood.

Although not everyone of Cao Shuang's entourage knew Cao Shuang's true intention, they knew the grudges about Cao Pi and Cao Zhi very clearly, so they naturally understood the mystery behind Cao Shuang's words. For a moment, everyone held their breath, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble and interfering with Cao Shuang's mission.

After many years of studying the script and analyzing the thinking habits developed by the plot, Cao Miao quickly understood the murderous intent behind Cao Shuang's seemingly harmless smile. If he was deceived by the bait thrown by the emperor and agreed to become an official, what was waiting for him was probably not wealth but disaster.

If he wants to survive, he will not only be crazy, but also even more crazy.

"Bo Zhao, you are still as stupid as you were ten years ago." Cao Miao laughed silently. "No, it should be said that you are even more stupid than you were ten years ago."

Cao Shuang's smile remained unchanged. "Oh?"

"Is money important or life important?"

"Of course life is important." Cao Shuang smiled even brighter.

"I remember ten years ago, your father could still ride a horse and shoot eagles and chase rabbits. Ten years later, he couldn't even ride a horse. How many years do you think he could live? If he died, can you bear this burden and hold this property?"

The smile on Cao Shuang's face was a little unnatural. "How dare I compete with my father? I can only serve Your Majesty with all my heart and duties."

"Xiahou Xuan is not in military affairs, but only knows Qingshen. Once Xiahou Shang dies, Sima Yi can only take over the military in Jingxiang. You are even more abolished than Xiahou Xuan, and you can't even talk. If your father dies, who will take over the military in Guanzhong? If the Grand Sima dies in the future, who will take over the military in Yangzhou?"
