Chapter 516 Prince's Birthday, 2 Brothers
As soon as Cao Mao said these words, not to mention Gongsun Gong, even Wang Lie and Liang Mao were stunned.
Don't drive to engage in, and govern in the middle, they are all assistant officials of the governor, and their status is second only to the governor!
In this way, the three of them can be said to be the most powerful people in Pingzhou!
"Gongsun Taishou can shock foreign barbarians, and there are two gentlemen, Yanfang and Bofang, to assist, so why worry about the uncertainty of Pingzhou?"
Cao Mao smiled lightly and said,
"You three, don't disappoint my expectations of you!"
Wang Lie came out of the crowd, bowed to Cao Mao tremblingly,
"Your Majesty... I will definitely devote myself to your majesty's love!"
Gongsun Gong and Liang Mao did not hesitate, and thanked Cao Mao one after another!
……
June of the second year of Shenlong.
In Xiangping, Cao Mao appointed Gongsun Gong as the governor of Pingzhou, and Wang Lie and Liang Mao served as the governor of Biejia and the governor of Zhizhong respectively.
In addition, he abolished all the original Goguryeo, Buyeo, and Samhan armies, and set up another [-] Pingzhou Army to maintain Pingzhou law and order!
After everything was settled properly, Cao Mao stayed in Pingzhou for a few days, and then set out to sea in Mazishui with a fleet.
In July of the second year of Shenlong, Cao Mao finally returned to Xudu, where he had been away for half a year.
in the palace.
"...In March, there were rebels who claimed to be descendants of the Han Dynasty and caused rebellion in Nanyang. General Xiahou Dun put down the rebellion within three days after dispatching troops..."
"There are bandits in Dongjun. General Man Chong has led his troops there, and it is expected to be quelled within half a month!"
"...Jingzhou Inspector Liu Cong sent a letter to His Majesty, in which he congratulated his father for taking Pingzhou, and sent a large number of congratulatory gifts to his elder brother and crown prince's birthday..."
Cao Mao was in Weiyang Palace, listening to Xun Yu, Chen Gong and others report on political affairs.
After hearing Liu Cong's official document, he couldn't help but smile,
"This Liu Cong is full of filial piety."
Xun Yu, Chen Gong and the others looked at each other, and their expressions were a little strange.
At the beginning, Cao Mao slept with Liu Cong's stepmother, Mrs. Cai, and recognized Liu Cong as his adopted son.
Whether Liu Cong was willing in his heart at that time, no one knew.
But after Cao Mao replaced Shanyang Gong Liu Xie and became the emperor of the empire, Liu Cong was extremely respectful, sending people to write letters every now and then to show his loyalty!
"However, when Liu Cong mentioned this, I remembered that it will be Long'er's first birthday soon, and it is necessary to take care of it."
When Liu Xian gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix twin for Cao Mao, he was conquering Yizhou and was unable to participate in the full moon wine for a pair of sons and daughters.
After Pingzhou was pacified this time, it happened to coincide with the birthdays of Cao Long and Cao Feng.
Cao Mao also had such thoughts.
"What Your Majesty said is very true. Now that the world is at peace, the national treasury is full, and the foreign barbarians such as Goguryeo and Buyeo have just been conquered, so it is time to make a big deal and celebrate!"
Xun Yu also smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Let's leave it to you to take charge of this matter. It must be done beautifully."
Cao Mao smiled casually.
……
One month later, to celebrate the birthday of the crown prince of the empire, the entire Xudu City was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was very lively.
Even Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, who were far away in Chang'an, and Cao Zhang, who was sent to guard Liangzhou, rushed back in person to attend Cao Long's birthday banquet.
"Hey, this little guy is also a tiger-headed tiger-brained man."
Cao Zhang teased Cao Long, and smiled at Cao Mao who was beside him,
"In the future, I will definitely succeed His Majesty and become a wise and mighty emperor!"
"Ziwen, your flattery is too obvious."
Cao Xiu scolded with a smile.
Cao Zhen glanced at Cao Long who was being held in Cao Zhang's arms, and said hesitantly,
"Your Majesty, the general has something to say..."
"Zidan, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, there is no doubt that we are brothers, just speak directly."
Cao Mao frowned, a little unhappy.
When it comes to who has the highest contribution, whether it is Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Gan Ning, or Ma Chao, they are all far above Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen.
But Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were the first to follow Cao Mao.
Most importantly, they can be regarded as Cao Mao's blood clan.
"Now His Majesty is the Lord of China, and the barbarians from all over the world have surrendered, and no one dares to provoke. If so..."
Cao Zhen hesitated for a moment, then continued,
"Can you release Zixiu and Zihuan..."
Cao Mao looked at him with squinted eyes, and immediately laughed,
"With Zidan's character, he will definitely not interfere in these matters. Therefore, I speculate that the Supreme Emperor must have asked you to talk about it, right?"
"Your Majesty is really quick-witted, indeed."
Cao Zhen nodded with a wry smile.
He has always acted cautiously. If Cao Cao hadn't come forward, he would not have mentioned Cao Ang and Cao Pi to Cao Mao.
"I know."
Cao Mao waved his hand and said nothing more.
Cao Zhen knew Cao Mao's character well, so he closed his mouth knowingly and stopped talking.
……
In order to attend the crown prince's birthday, not to mention Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhang, even Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, Zhang Song, and Fazheng, the governors of the north and south of Yizhou, all came in person.
Even the natives of the Ryukyu Kingdom and Yizhou Island sent envoys.
The palace of Xudu Imperial Palace simply cannot accommodate so many people.
So they set up a banquet outside the palace to attract all the guests.
Cao Mao raised his glass slowly, looked around at everyone present, and said loudly,
"The people of our Dragon Empire now live and work in peace and contentment, and our national power is strong, and it is inseparable from your hard work. I respect you for this cup!"
After all, he drank it all in one gulp!
Everyone raised their glasses and drank all the wine in their glasses!
Then it was time for everyone to push each other to exchange cups and connect with each other.
Cao Mao returned to the palace and sent someone to invite his father Cao Cao over.
After the Han Dynasty became independent and became emperor, Cao Mao respected Cao Cao as the Supreme Emperor.
Cao Cao, who served as the Supreme Emperor, also took advantage of the trend to resign from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Now he is happy and relaxed, teasing Cao Long and Cao Feng's two grandsons every day, even more mellow, no different from ordinary rich men.
"Father."
Cao Mao did not put on the airs of the emperor, but greeted Cao Cao.
The father and son sat side by side.
"Mao'er sees you as a father today, what's the matter?"
Cao Cao was puzzled and authentic.
"Father, I won't go around in circles." Cao Mao smiled slightly, "Zidan has already told me everything."
When Cao Cao heard this, his face was a little embarrassed.
But then sighed,
"Maoer, you, Zixiu, and Zihuan are both father's sons. Now that you are the emperor of the empire, why can't you let your two elder brothers go?"
Cao Mao smiled,
"Father, you misunderstood me."
"What does Maoer mean by that?"
But Cao Mao clapped his hands, followed by the sound of footsteps from outside the hall, and two figures walked in hand in hand.
Cao Cao took a closer look, who were these two, Cao Ang and Cao Pi?
"I have seen Your Majesty!"
Cao Ang and Cao Pi saluted Cao Mao together.
"This... what's the situation?"
Cao Cao was stunned.
"You two brothers, it's up to you to explain to your father."
Cao Mao smiled casually.
