my wife is mulan

"Is my mother in the backyard?"

"Yes, young master! The master just said that if you come back, you will go to the training ground to meet him!"

The young man hurriedly said, "I'd better go see my aunt first!"

"No, young master, the master told you to go see him first, or else...or else..."

"What else can I do?" The young man turned his head and asked.

The servant Qiqi Ai said: "Or I will break your dog legs!"

The young man was furious, he clenched his fist and was about to hit him, but the servant hurriedly dodged and shouted: "Young master, please calm down, these are the original words of the master, not the words of the villain!"

The young man put down his fist and pondered for a while, he was still a good man who would not suffer the immediate loss, he went to see Grandpa first, otherwise he might not have any good fruit to eat!

When they came to the martial arts training ground, the young man saw a mighty middle-aged man galloping on horseback, holding a riding bow and shooting arrows at the side archery targets, causing the generals and servants standing on both sides of the martial arts training ground to applaud .

Cao Jiao is most proud of his superb archery skills in his life. At the beginning, he relied on this superb archery skills to win the first prize in the competition in the supply camp, which attracted Zhao Junsheng's appreciation for him. He followed Zhao Junsheng closely all these years His current status and power are due to his footsteps. Therefore, even though his status and power have been increasing day by day over the years, he still never puts down this stunt, and practices it every now and then.

"General, all [-] arrows hit the [-]th ring!" The family soldier checking the hit rate reported the result loudly.

The generals, soldiers and maidservants shouted loudly: "The general is mighty!"

Cao Jiao jumped off the horse, handed the bow to a general, and took the towel and tea from the servant.

A family next to him saw the young master Cao Ting coming from a distance, so he reported to Cao Jiao: "General, the young master is back!"

Cao Jiao turned his head and took a look, with a look of surprise on his face.

Cao Ting walked over quickly, bowed and clasped his hands: "Baby, see Grandpa!"

Cao Jiao turned around and put on a majestic look: "Where have you been fooling around in broad daylight?"

Cao Ting was unhappy, "Grandfather, I am your eldest son, why do you say that about me?"

"What's the matter? Is it reasonable for you to be fooling around outside? Try talking back again, I will beat you to death!"

Although Cao Ting is a mess, he is not stupid. Seeing that Cao Jiao is obviously angry, he really is asking for guilt by talking back at this time.

A family next to him quickly smoothed things over: "General, you see it's getting late, it's time for dinner, let's have dinner first, if you have anything to say, we'll talk after dinner!"

Cao Jiao took a deep breath. He also knew that it was wrong to teach his son a lesson in front of so many people, but he really hated iron for being weak, and waved his hand: "Go see your mother!"

Cao Ting fled immediately.

Looking at his son's appearance, Cao Jiao felt very disappointed and disappointed, and sighed in his heart, can it really be impossible to escape the law of "I am a hero, my son is a bear"?

Cao Jiao took a deep breath and waved to the servants and maidservants, and everyone retreated after seeing this.

Cao Jiao asked a general who was following him as he walked, "How is the matter going?"

"Back to the general, An Dashi died violently in the Jinwuwei prison last night, and the jailer also hanged himself in the shift room. Everything was done without any trace, the general can rest assured! But there is one thing that is very worrying. Doubtful, not long ago, Sizheng Wang Tanzhi, a court official in the household department, led troops to search the Anfu, and his family, children, all belongings, servants, and maidservants were all taken away, and the house was also sealed off!"

"What? The Anfu was seized so quickly? The person who did it was the Hubu Houjusu? The Houjusu is a yamen that collects and counts prices. What right do they have to raid Anfu?" Cao Jiao was taken aback.

Waiting for the lawsuit belongs to the yamen that is on the surface, but the level of secrecy is extremely high, and the people who know its real function can be counted in a slap. Even Cao Jiao, who was the earliest confidant who followed Zhao Junsheng, didn't know about it.

The general replied, "The people Wang Tanzhi brought with him are all Habayashi guards!"

This time, Cao Jiao, who has always been calm about honor and disgrace, immediately changed his face, and even the guards of the Habayashi were dispatched. What does this mean?The Habayashi guards belonged to the imperial guards, which were equivalent to the emperor's private army, and no one except the emperor could mobilize them!

Cao Jiao realized the seriousness of the problem, "Did your Majesty know something? An Dashi led people to kill Prince Yanda's accompanying officials and accompanying guards. It stands to reason that the investigation should be a matter of the Imperial City Department or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. A small The little Sogdian merchant, even if he killed the accompanying officials of the envoy, there is no need to send out the Habayashi guards if he wants to raid the house, right?"

The general was also a little apprehensive, but he still comforted Cao Jiao: "General, I feel that we should not think too badly about the matter. After all, An Dashi killed the accompanying officials and guards of foreign envoys. This matter has a great impact. Hiroshi, the emperor dispatched Habayashi guards to copy Andashi's home, maybe as a gesture to show the prince Yanda, to show his importance! In addition, An Dashi is rich as an enemy, and the emperor dispatched Habayashi guards to copy his home in front of the government. , Maybe it’s coveting the wealth of An’s family? After all, the imperial court’s taxes don’t need to be used as internal funds. Although the emperor’s salary is several times higher than that of the ministers, the royal family’s expenses are also very large, and the emperor only If you can earn money to support your family, according to regulations, half of the proceeds from the ransacking will go to the state treasury and half to the internal treasury. If the person in charge of the search does something in the middle, most of the property can be hidden. Library!"

Cao Jiao shook his head: "You think your majesty too badly. If your majesty is a money-greedy person, the whole world belongs to him. How can he still use such unscrupulous means? As long as there is a hint, some people will send it to him. Money! There are only two possibilities, either the first possibility you mentioned, making a gesture to show the tired prince Wen He; the other is that His Majesty discovered that An Dashi secretly made friends with the court ministers and officials! You Think about it carefully, have you ever been caught by An Dashi when you were in contact with him on weekdays, once he leaves evidence and is captured by Wang Tanzhi, we will be in big trouble!"

The general thought about it carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "This subordinate is sure that he has nothing to do with it! Don't worry, the general, it is his subordinate who came into contact with An Dashi. What the general did was borrowing the name of the general, and everything has nothing to do with the general's mansion!"

Cao Jiao couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It's really come to that point, I'm afraid things are not as simple as you and I imagined!"

The worry in his heart was still lingering. After dinner, Cao Jiao sat in the study all night without closing his eyes. He seemed to have a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come.

Cao Jiao is in good health, even if he didn't close his eyes all night, he is very energetic. After washing up, he had breakfast with his wife and children, and he was fully dressed and ready to go to work.

At this time, the butler hurried over and reported: "General, Your Majesty sent eunuchs to announce the decree!"

When Cao Jiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Quickly ask Madam, Young Master and Miss to come out and receive the order with me!"

Laughter came from a distance: "General Cao doesn't have to be like this, our family just came to pass on His Majesty's oral instructions. Your Majesty said that today is a good time for hunting with clear skies and sunny weather, so I sent this old slave over to call Cao Cao." The general will accompany you to the Royal Beast Garden to hunt!"

Cao Jiao immediately bowed towards the palace and clasped his fists: "I obey the order!"

Cao Jiao only brought two family generals to go to the palace with the eunuch, and when he was outside the palace gate, the eunuch stopped and said: "The general doesn't need to go in, just meet your majesty here, and then go to the imperial beast garden together, old slave If you still want to serve His Majesty, go ahead!"

"Okay, Eunuch, go slowly!"

When the eunuch walked away, the confidant came over and said in a low voice: "General, Your Majesty asked the general to hunt with him, which means that the general's family has not decreased, so there is no need to worry about the general!"

Cao Jiao didn't make a sound, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger!Countless examples are lessons learned from the past. Take Cui Hao, this person can be said to be the top think tank in the world, and he has advised the emperor for so many years, and he is often by his side. The emperor killed him when he said so.

In fact, Cao Jiao also knew that as the emperor, Zhao Junsheng's position was not easy to sit in. The emperor should not be too emotional, otherwise the world would be in chaos, but when the matter came to him, he didn't think so. The emperor is too heartless.

Soon, Zhao Junsheng rode out of the palace gate, followed by some dragon guard cavalry, and Cao Jiao, who was dressed in light cowhide armor, immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Cao Jiao, my minister, has seen Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to Cao Jiao: "Get on the horse, let's go together!"

"promise!"

Cao Jiao trotted up to catch up with Zhao Junsheng, and asked with a smile, "Why does Your Majesty want to go hunting today?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "When people get older, their energy is not as good as before. Sitting for a long time is not good for the body, so we still need to be more active!"

"Your Majesty is in his prime, how can you speak in such a sluggish way? My minister thinks that His Majesty's age is just the time to do great things, and you still need your Majesty to steer the helm!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said nothing, turned his head to look at Cao Jiao inadvertently, stared at the cowhide armor on his body, and asked, "Is this leather armor old? Are you still wearing it when it's so old? You are short of money." ?”

Cao Jiao looked down, and replied: "It's just old, not damaged, and it can be worn for another year or two. It's a pity to throw it away! This person is nostalgic for the old, and he may not be able to adapt to the new armor. But very comfortable!"

"Oh? Really? You have a good idea, but after all, you are a general of the imperial court. When you go out dressed like this, the subjects think that I treat you who are the founding heroes of the country harshly. I will not bear this bad reputation, hahaha... ·" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he laughed and beat his horse and galloped forward.

Cao Jiao turned around at this moment, remembering that every word Zhao Junsheng said just now seemed to be alluding, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Chapter 860 Hunting Accident

One morning, Zhao Junsheng had a good harvest, shooting and killing five hares, two antelopes and a wild boar. Cao Jiao also harvested a lot, hunting a fox and a roe deer.

Zhao Junsheng looked up at the sun in the sky, "It's already past noon, let's go back, and when we arrive at the rest place, we can roast an antelope and have a few drinks with me!"
