my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng stopped and walked towards Cao Jiao's ward after paying off.

When he came to the ward, Zhao Junsheng saw Cao Jiao's two wives and concubines crying with joy beside the bed, but his children were still missing.

"Your Majesty is coming!" Cao Lin and another concubine wiped away their tears when they saw Zhao Junsheng coming, got up and performed the Wanfu ceremony.

"You don't need to be too polite!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, seeing that Cao Jiao was struggling to get up, he hurried forward and said, "Cao Jiao, don't move, how do you feel?"

Cao Jiao's voice was very weak, "Please worry about your Majesty, I'm fine, I can't die, now I see that Your Majesty is fine, I feel relieved, it's my fault for letting Your Majesty worry about me all night!"

"Don't say that, as long as you are fine!" Zhao Junsheng said, turning his head to look at the crowd in the room, "Is the imperial doctor here?"

The imperial doctor came out and bowed, "The minister is here!"

"How is General Cao?"

"Return to Your Majesty, General Cao's condition has stabilized, but the wound should not be wet until the wound heals, otherwise it may fester, and it will be troublesome then!"

Zhao Junseng continued to ask: "Can I eat?"

"Yes, but it's best to only eat liquid food these days. If you need to go to the toilet, you can only use a chamber pot and a toilet. When you get up, you must move slowly and gently. Don't let the broken bones dislocate again. Use warm water to scratch frequently every day." The parts other than the mouth should be changed frequently and kept clean and tidy; someone should massage General Cao’s body every day, move the joints, and promote the circulation of Qi and blood. Phenomenon!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and said to Cao Jiao's wife and concubine: "Write down what the imperial doctor said? Just do it like this!"

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and thank you, the imperial doctor!"

Only then did Cao Jiao's children come in from the outside, and the eldest son Cao Ting called out, "Grandfather, you're awake, are you feeling better?"

"I have seen Your Majesty, Grandpa, Auntie, and Auntie!" Cao Jiao's second son and daughter greeted everyone together.

Cao Jiao became angry when he saw Cao Ting, "Your Majesty is here, why don't you meet me soon?"

When Cao Ting saw it, he was startled, and immediately knelt down with a plop and said, "Cao Ting pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng saw that Cao Ting hadn't woken up until now, and his body had been hollowed out by wine and sex at a young age, and he knew that Cao Ting was probably a drunk and a dandy.

"General Cao was seriously injured and almost died. You are not too young. Not only do you not take good care of your children in front of your bed and show filial piety, but you make your aunts and aunts work hard and stay up late, while you hide and sleep. What's the proper way? Listen carefully, within a month, you three brothers and sisters will take turns to serve in front of General Cao every day, and you are not allowed to go out. If you steal or play tricks, you will be punished as disrespect!"

Zhao Junsheng's tone was so harsh that Cao Ting's three brothers and sisters turned pale with fright, their knees softened, and they knelt on the ground together: "Yes, yes, yes!"

At this time, Kang Yide stepped forward and shook his whisk to remind Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, in the morning you are going to meet with the Shangshutai, Zhongshusheng and several officials under your sect, and listen to their reports on various military and political affairs. Exactly, there is still an hour to go back to the palace, Your Majesty should not delay too long!"

Cao Jiao quickly said: "You can't delay the important affairs of the court because of the minister. The minister is already much better, and there are wives, concubines and children serving by his side. Your Majesty should return to the palace quickly!"

"No hurry, I'll have breakfast with you before leaving!" Zhao Junsheng said with a smile, then turned his head and told Kang Yide: "Go prepare breakfast!"

"promise!"

Zhao Junsheng and Cao Jiao talked and laughed together after breakfast before leaving.

Not long after Zhao Junsheng left, Cao Jiao told his wives, concubines and children: "You all go out, Luo Zhen stays!"

Luo Zhen is Cao Jiao's confidant and family general. After Cao Jiao's wives, concubines and children all left, Luo Zhen came to the room after closing the door.

"Why did the general come to this, almost lost his life, it's not worth it!" Luo Zhenzhen sighed with lingering fear.

Cao Jiao shook his head: "Luo Zhen, you don't understand, you don't understand! Your Majesty is an emperor worthy of being protected by his subjects regardless of their lives. What I really think in my heart directs my body!"

"Do you know why? People say that the higher you stand, the farther you can see, but how many people can actually do it? Almost everyone I have met only puts their own self-interest ahead of others. Everything is important, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not selfless, but His Majesty is different. He never disregards the interests of others because of personal gains and losses! If there is no His Majesty, there will be chaos for 100 years, or even 200 years. With His Majesty, the chaos in the world can be ended at least 100 years earlier!"

"Although I am also a selfish person, I admire His Majesty who puts public interests above personal interests and has the world in mind. He never despises the people because of their low status and poverty. I, Cao, was also a grassroots person. , it is His Majesty who does not regard ministers as humble and promotes him, so Cao can have the achievements and status he has today!"

"Luo Zhen, do you know what it feels like when a person is not reused even if he has all-powerful abilities and knowledge, and no one appreciates him?"

Luo Zhen was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Your subordinate understands the meaning of the general. Your majesty is indeed an emperor worthy of his life to protect! It's just... General, you said that there was an accident while hunting yesterday. Did His Majesty intentionally encounter the attack by the tiger?"

Cao Jiao's complexion changed, "This is absolutely impossible, cough cough...puchi" He spit out some blood again because of the severe cough.

"General, don't be angry, this subordinate has no other intentions, just talking casually!" Luo Zhen immediately turned around to pour water for Cao Jiao after speaking, "General, please drink some water, and this subordinate will call the imperial doctor to come and have a look ".

Cao Jiao drank two sips of water and felt better, "It's okay, what I coughed up was congestion, and I felt a lot more comfortable in my chest when I coughed up this congestion!"

"That's good, that's good, if the general's injury is made worse because of what the subordinate said just now, it's Luo Zhen's crime!"

Cao Jiao put down the teacup, "This matter could not have been arranged in advance. At that time, the tiger was hiding in the grass on the right side of His Majesty. After a tiger roar, it rushed towards His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty's mount was so frightened that its legs limp and fell down. The tiger is too close to His Majesty! As the saying goes, a gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall, let alone an emperor?"

"Besides, if His Majesty really wants my life, he has many excuses and reasons, so he must use this method!"

Luo Zhen faintly felt that there was something suspicious in it, "General, Anfu was raided by Wang Tanzhi the day before yesterday afternoon led by the Yulin guards, yesterday morning His Majesty sent someone to tell you to go hunting with you. Almost died, don't you think it's too coincidental?"

Cao Jiao said: "Well, even if His Majesty wanted to kill me, why did he use this method? He only needs to say that Habayashi Wei found the record list of An Dashi's bribery of the ministers of the court from An Dashi's house, and I, Cao Jiao, were among them. , It’s useless for me to cry out for injustice!”

"That's true!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after a few knocks, Cao Ting's voice came in: "Grandpa, General Gao is here!"

There are several generals surnamed Gao in the Dagan Dynasty, namely Gao Xiu, Gao Xu and Gao Jinzhi. The general Gao Xiu is still at home, and the half-year suspension period has not yet passed, so he can only stay at home and educate his daughter how to behave.

Gao Jinzhi is guarding the Western Regions, not in Chang'an, so it is impossible for him to come, so the tall general Cao Ting talks about can only be Gao Xu.

"Please!"

Gao Xu walked in. He was wearing a normal suit, very casual and casual.

"Old Cao, why are you so careless? You almost lost your life. You are not the oldest of our brothers, so don't die the earliest!"

The Cao family complained in their hearts one by one, is this what a great general should say?

Not only was Cao Jiao not angry, but he smiled and said, "Even if you die, I won't die! But these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you, so you can talk to the moon alone with a wine bottle!"

"That's such a pity! I heard that the tiger that almost killed you was beaten to death by you in the end. What about the tiger? Give me some tiger meat to stew and eat the current wine and vegetables, and give me the whip too. Take it to make wine!"

Cao Jiao shook his head: "I didn't kill the worm, it was His Majesty who killed it! I heard that His Majesty has distributed the tiger meat to the accompanying soldiers, and the tiger bones and skin have been taken away by His Majesty's accompanying soldiers!"

Gao Xu sighed: "How can Your Majesty do this? At least I will save some for you!"

"What do you do with some left for me? I can only save this life, and if you keep it for me, won't it be a waste of money for you in the end?"

"Hahaha... Cao Jiao is the one who knows me!"

Gao Xu laughed and asked: "Do you know that a major event happened in the court two days ago?"

"Oh? Something big happened? Why didn't I know?"

"Just the morning before yesterday, His Majesty somehow thought of going to Zhongshu Province for inspection. During the inspection, he asked many officials some questions, and at the end he called together some key officials, and said in a very stern tone that someone in Zhongshu Province accepted bribes, Cultivating cronies, even selling officials and nobles, scared those people in Zhongshu Province to death! Finally, I warned some people not to go too far, if they know their mistakes and can correct them, they can surrender to the relevant government office Surrender yourself to him directly! What is strange is that in the past two days, none of the officials in the Central Secretariat have surrendered to the relevant yamen or His Majesty!"

Cao Jiao's heart suddenly turned cold. Could it be that His Majesty means that the drunkard's intention is not to drink?
