The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 358 Cao Ji teaches his son to reveal his ambition

Everyone stayed in Jing'an City for three days. Lin Yifan took Yunyang around Jing'an City, playing around while continuing to observe the people's sentiments.

As a princess, Yunyang has lived in the palace since she was a child, so naturally she doesn't understand the sufferings of the people.Therefore, it is not surprising that people take the prosperity of Anju for granted.

However, as a general on the battlefield, Tang Rong was used to the destruction caused by turmoil all over the world, and he had seen scenes of people displaced and starved to death.Now walking in Anzhou, a place that has experienced brutal wars, he couldn't believe his eyes.Just the year before last, he and Hou Mingfeng came to Anzhou through the vast forest. All they saw along the way were dilapidated scenes. The people had no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies, struggling on the verge of death.

But in just one year, Anzhou has returned to its former prosperity. Along the way, he has not seen a single refugee or a dead body.The fields are full of crops, and the farmers are working hard in the fields with happy smiles on their faces. This is a scene he has never seen in other places.Business travelers come and go in groups, there are no heavy tax checkpoints, and there are no bandits running rampant in the mountains. Anzhou's rule is even more stable and harmonious than that of Gyeonggi.What's more, after he entered Jing'an City, he found that although the city was densely populated and bustling, there was no trace of chaos.The layout of the house is neat and orderly, every household plants flowers and grass, and the front of every household is clean.Such a city, not to mention not being seen in the capital, even if he traveled to many places, he has never seen such a strange city.

Regarding these, Tang Rong admired them very much, but as a general, he didn't know how to comment on them.But he knew that if the whole world was like Anzhou, it would be a paradise on earth, right?

On the fourth day, everyone left Jing'an City and headed for Huaiyuan County.At this time, the news that the princess was robbed finally reached the capital.

"Crack!" In the prime minister's mansion, Cao Ji's face was livid, and he slapped the table with his palm. "Who is it? Who took the princess away?"

"Qi, my master, according to the investigation results of the Dingxi Army, there were two groups of people who took the princess away on the day of the incident, one was Tianyun, and the other was Hengshan. As for who took the princess away, it is still unknown. .” The man in black below reported in fear.

"Damn it! It's Hengshan again!" Cao Ji's face was flushed, his fists clenched livid, "Check, let me continue to check. I want to find out who owns the princess as soon as possible."

"It's the master!" The man in black heaved a sigh of relief and stepped back quickly.

At this time, Cao Ziyan suddenly came out from the back hall, his face was even more gloomy. "Father, I can assure you that the princess must be with Lin Yifan."

"What evidence do you have?" Cao Ji's expression changed slightly, he glanced at him, and asked.

"My boy has no evidence, but my boy is sure that the princess must be with him." Cao Ziyan gritted his teeth and growled with a ferocious expression. "In order to oppose the princess's marriage, he did not hesitate to mobilize public opinion and try to prevent us from getting married. Seeing that this method works No way, how can he be reconciled, he will definitely do it himself, and bring the princess back to Hengshan. In this way, not only can we prevent us from forming an alliance with Eternity, but, it can also embrace the beauty, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Hmph, Yan'er, are you blaming me?" Cao Ji looked at him coldly with anger in his eyes.

"I don't dare." Cao Ziyan opened his mouth, resisting the words that almost blurted out, and replied with a calm expression.

"The whereabouts of the princess are unknown now. Whether it was Hengshan's work or not is something else. Yan'er, as a father, I have already advised you that a man should not be burdened by the love of his son and daughter. No matter what happens to the princess, you have nothing to do with her," Cao Ji sighed. In a tone of voice, he said earnestly, "On the contrary, we are already in a disadvantageous situation because of the princess. How to reverse the situation is what you should care about most. I need you to go by yourself. With your current state, how can my father give you the Cao family's foundation with confidence?"

"The child is ashamed of his father's teachings, and he will never dare again." Cao Ziyan knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed heavily, "Father is in the prime of life, and he will surely live a long life."

"Okay, you don't need to say these things to make me happy, as long as you can focus on your business in the future, you will be happy as a father." Cao Ji nodded with a smile.

"My son respectfully obeys my father's instruction." Cao Ziyan replied respectfully, then hesitated, and continued, "Father, now that the princess has been robbed, Tang Rong, as a peace envoy, bears an unshirkable responsibility. Can we take this opportunity, Take down the Tang family in one fell swoop, and get rid of the last force in the capital that resists us?"

"Well, Yan'er can think of this, and I'm very gratified for my father." Cao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head with a smile, "However, we can't move their Tang family at this time."

"Why?" Cao Ziyan frowned and asked in confusion.

"Tang Tianhao is not only one of the few veterans of the three dynasties, but also the most famous general in martial arts today. The generals supported by him are all over the place, and their power should not be underestimated." Cao Ji said with a heavy face, "Especially Feng Chongyi from Leizhou, Like him, they are veterans with outstanding achievements. The two have a close friendship. Once the Tang family loses, Feng Chongyi will definitely not let it go. Now he controls an army of tens of thousands in Leizhou. If we go north, we will not be able to stop it with our strength. Yan'er, this is the current situation, you must understand and know how to weigh the pros and cons, otherwise, a misjudgment will be enough to put our Cao family in a disadvantageous situation, understand?"

Cao Ziyan's back felt cold when he heard it, and he couldn't help but nodded in shame, "My child is stupid, thank you father for your guidance."

Cao Ji hummed lightly, and continued, "Yan'er, today's world is a world of great contention. Our Cao family can't just be the son of heaven to rule the princes. Without the power under our own control, it is not enough to calm the four sides and aspire to the top. The world. Don’t worry about the failure of the previous Northern Expedition. Those Northern Expeditionary troops were a mixed bag. The enemy and the enemy never changed. If they die, they will die. It’s not a pity. Now the new army we are training is the real direct descendant of our Cao family Once the 30 army is formed, it will be enough to suppress the Quartet and stabilize the current situation. As long as we are given a few more years, we will be able to restore our strength, wipe out the disobedient ministers in one fell swoop, and restore the majesty of the court. At that time, our Cao family flying dragon will be in the sky when."

"Father, can we really have such a day?" Cao Ziyan was so excited that he swallowed his throat and asked hoarsely.

"Of course!" Cao Ji said firmly, with a fiery look in his eyes, "After so many years of plotting and planning for my father, isn't this the result? Now the emperor is under our control, and it is only a matter of my mind to abolish him." Between. Yan'er, this is power. As a father, he has already reached the level that he can reach. But how can this desire be satisfied, as long as he gets one, he thinks about getting something better. As a father, I can't stop now, and I wish I could replace him."

"Father?" Cao Ziyan looked at him in fear, feeling strange, is this the real face of his father?
Cao Ji realized his gaffe, and immediately recovered his peaceful expression, "Yan'er, the purpose of confiding in you for my father is also to inspire your fighting spirit. As the saying goes, a son inherits his father's career, and you also have to inherit the ambition of being a father." , to persevere to the end in this troubled world, you know?"

"My son understands. My son must follow his father's ambition as an example and remove all obstacles for his father." Cao Ziyan said firmly and respectfully with his head on the ground.
