After being silent for a while, Cao Tong reacted. He took a deep breath, and there was a heat in his eyes.

The emperor's magic method...

Let people live forever.

undoubtedly.

He had an idea with those important officials.

Contribute to the strengthening of the Tang Dynasty!

Let Your Majesty think that he is the "corresponding stone of the country"!

In this way, he can be as immortal as Zhuge Wuming!

"Wake up and want to live forever, work hard, don't think about anything that's missing."

Zhuge Wuming looked at Cao Tong's expression, smiled and said.

Cao Tong instantly came back to his senses and bowed to Zhuge Wuming. He couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Prime Minister Zhuge, I will work hard."

Zhuge Wuming nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

Although he saw that Cao Tong had become different, his impression of Cao Tong was still as he had before.

This impression cannot be changed in a short while.

He paused and said, "Cao Bingma, are you here to see the true face this time? Is there anything wrong?"

This Cao General's official position is the General of Military and Horses, and it is reasonable to call it the General of Military and Horses.

Cao Tong didn't care about this either. He calmed down and looked at Prime Minister Zhuge with small eyes, bowed with both hands, performed a very standard etiquette, and said in a deep voice: "Master Prime Minister, Cao felt that he was not capable enough to contribute to the court and His Majesty, so he didn't care about anything. He devoted himself to learning literary and martial arts, and now he has returned from his studies!"

Returning from studying?

Could it be that this Cao Tong really wants to get back the power of General Ma?

Not to mention whether he is willing to give it to him or not, just say that he is willing to give it to him, and all the civil and military officials in the court will not agree.

After all, no one can guarantee the other party's ability.

Zhuge Wuming felt funny in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Cao Tong said firmly: "Prime Minister, Cao wants to be an official!"

"Be an official?"

Zhuge Wuming smiled and said, "You are now the general of the military and horses and the general of Kyoto. Isn't this enough? Could it be that you still want to be the king?"

The Tang Dynasty is now only one king.

Li Ming, the King of the West!

Emperor Taizu of Tang once said that no one could be granted a king unless the royal family was born. If the opposite sex wanted to be granted a king, it would be possible for the Tang Dynasty to fall.

If you want to be crowned as a king, wouldn’t that mean you want to rebel?

Cao Tong could naturally hear it. He shook his head quickly and said, "Prime Minister, Cao does not mean this. Cao wants a real official! I believe the Prime Minister can understand Cao's meaning!"

Although his tone was a little anxious, he was still full of determination.

Zhuge Wuming still looked at Cao Tong with his eyes and said, "A real official? Do you know that if you want to be a real official, you can't just say it."

Cao Tong nodded and said, "Master Prime Minister, Cao understands, but Cao is no longer Cao's former past. If the prime minister doesn't believe it, please ask the prime minister to test Cao. Cao is definitely not a nonsense person."

test?

Could it be that this Cao Tong really rose up?

Zhuge Wuming was silent for a while and decided to give Cao Tong a chance. He stretched out his hand from his sleeve and pushed all the bamboo slips to the edge of the table.

He said calmly: "Okay, look at these bamboo slips to see what you can see."

Upon hearing this, Cao Tong nodded, bowed to Prime Minister Zhuge, walked to the table and sat cross-legged, picked up the bamboo slips and took a closer look.

He looked at it very seriously and seemed to be unwilling to let go of a word.

Seeing this, Zhuge Wuming shook his head and smiled, waved his hand at Li Qiuran, signaling that if the other party was bored, he could leave first.

Li Qiuran easily understood Zhuge Wuming's meaning, nodded slightly, turned over, and left the study silently.

Zhuge Wuming took his eyes away from Li Qiuran and glanced at Cao Tong.

He immediately walked to the side, picked up a set of tea sets and started to whip up.

After a long time, I drank a cup of tea.

After his skill, Cao Tong was still watching the bamboo slips, not listening to them, and was very fascinated.

Zhuge Wuming was not in a hurry and continued to wait.

One of them was drinking tea and waiting, while the other was reading the bamboo slips quietly.

Time passes just a little by little.

Nearly half an hour later.

Cao Tong finally put down all the bamboo slips and stood up.

At the same time, before Zhuge Wuming, who was drinking tea, put down the teacup and walked back to the table, he looked at Cao Tong and asked, "What did you see?"

Cao Tong narrowed his eyes and bowed, "Sir, I need to train elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty!"

Zhuge Wuming's eyes moved slightly. After a few months, has this Cao Tong really changed?

He was a little surprised, and he was still calm on the surface, saying, "Why do you need to train elite soldiers?"

"Because my Tang Dynasty's military strength is even worse than that of the Guluo Empire."

"Will you just recruit soldiers directly? I have so many people in the Tang Dynasty. How can I compare to the Guluo Empire as long as I recruit soldiers?"

"Master, recruiting soldiers will destroy people's livelihood and waste a lot of financial resources. In comparison, training elite soldiers will look better no matter where they look."

Zhuge Wuming was amazed when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Cao Tong had such eyesight.

It is really a three-day separation for the scholar, and he should treat each other with admiration.

After a little surprised, his mind calmed down again and asked, "You have learned some skills."

Cao Tong was not arrogant or impatient, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "If it weren't for this, how dare Cao come to the prime minister to ask for an official position? A few months ago, Cao knew that he had no talent and did not dare to be an official, but today Cao Tong is not Cao Tong in the past. He also asked the prime minister to give him a chance to show his strategy!"

Zhuge Wuming suddenly smiled, and he already understood everything in his heart. He nodded and said, "But, I wonder if you have any research on training troops?"

"I have some research!"

Cao Tong answered confidently.

Zhuge Wuming said lightly: "Okay, this time the training will be left to you, and this is also considered as giving back the power of your general general."

As he said that, he took out a box from the bookshelf, opened the box, and took out a prime minister's identity token.

Using this token and the letter he wrote was enough to mobilize the troops in various regions.

He handed the token to Cao Tong.

Cao Tong took a deep breath, stepped forward, took the token, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, please rest assured, Cao will never let down the Prime Minister's expectations!"

Zhuge Wuming smiled and waved his sleeves, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll give you the token. I hope you don't let me down."

Cao Tongyi smiled, said nothing, and bowed back.

It is useless to say more, Cao will use time to prove all this.

Since he was given a chance, he would return a iron-blooded army of the Tang Dynasty!

Reinforcing the strengthening of the Tang Dynasty's national strength!
