"Your niece married Queen Song's brother-in-law as a concubine. Now the case of Queen Song has been brought up again. Your Majesty meant to implicate the nine clans? Where is there any turning point?" Cao Jie said in a stern tone and sighed unstoppablely...

Turning around? He wants to see a turn around more than anyone else...

Cao Song was supported by him. He colluded with each other inside and outside the palace and made a fortune. Losing Cao Song's external power? Where can I find such a person? For this reason, Cao Jie smelled of regret in his words...

"Brother..."

Cao Jie still frowned, but he felt like he was throwing apart. "I'm here to remind you... If the disaster really comes, I will try my best to protect your grandson Cao Ang... It's not in vain for our friendship over the years..."

The voice is very low... Cao Jie, who is in power in the court and the opposition, said this, which shows that the development of the situation is far more serious than the rumors.

At this moment, beads of sweat as big as beans on Cao Song's forehead were dripping like rain... He became scary and panicked. He really lost everything in his plate... He could not steal the chicken and lose the rice, but he climbed the dragon and attached himself to the phoenix? In the end, he suffered it himself!

Well... After a moment of annoyance, Cao Song took off his breath and his mood became calmer... At least, the incense of the Cao family is still there! Ang'er is still there...

Well….

Suddenly, Cao Song seemed to have thought of something again... "Wait."

Cao Jie was slightly stunned, then spread his hands and looked helpless.

Cao Song's eyes became firm, and the words he spoke came one after another. "Mr. Cao, Cao Hou, Cao Da Changqiu... If he really got to the point of raiding the house and exile, I hope that you can save another person besides my grandson Cao Ang..."

"Your son Cao Cao is our mortal enemy..." Cao Jie waved his hand, as if he had expected Cao Song's words... "Our family won't protect him!"

"No, it's not my son Mengde!"

"Well? Who is that?" Cao Song's words surprised Cao Jie a little... In Cao Song's heart, someone is even more serious than Cao Cao's position? At present, Cao Jie is still a little curious.

"I have a grandson named Cao Shu... He is only six years old." Cao Song said Cao Shu's name with great determination. "My father has a last word to continue the incense of the Cao family... Cao Ang, Cao Shu, these two grandsons are the incense of the Cao family, Lord Cao, and Marquis Cao... For the sake of my father, please be sure to protect them. If one day... Your Majesty finds out any mistakes in the accounts of the Ku Mansion, I, Cao Song, will take it all my strength!"

Cao Song, who has been in the officialdom for many years, knows very well... It is useless to pray blindly. All he has to do is replace it and take all the blame... for the safety of his two grandchildren.

Of course, as a father, he also wanted to protect his son Cao Cao, but now... the Cao family is facing the disaster of family raiding, exile or even extermination... he is really powerless.

"You...you..." Cao Jie pointed at Cao Song's head. "Okay, why do you want to marry your niece to the Song family as a concubine? Climbing the dragon and supporting the phoenix! Smart is mistaken by being smart! Stupid! Stupid!"

Cao Song's wrong move laid the root of disaster for the Cao family and also made Cao Jie's painstaking layout waste... In his opinion, this is a golden coin!

When Cao Jie thought of this, he couldn't help but want to scold Cao Song a few more... But at this moment, the crisp and childish sound of reading came from the living room of the late emperor.

"this…"

Suddenly, Cao Song became alert... He clearly called everyone not to enter the courtyard, but... the sound was indeed from the pavilion.

Is there someone in the house? Then... the conversation between him and Cao Jie... has been heard all of them.

Cao Song frowned, and his already pale face turned as white as paper in an instant... This conversation is of great importance! If someone who is interested hears it, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Wait...this voice?

Suddenly, Cao Song realized that the voice was very familiar... childish, crisp, and seemed to be... the voice of his grandson Cao Shu! This... he was with Cao Shu every day and he would never admit his mistake.

But?

Why is Cao Shuo here? What is he reading?

When he thought of this, countless question marks appeared on Cao Song's forehead one after another.

"Master Cao Jie..." Cao Song turned to Cao Jie, wanting to apologize... Unexpectedly, Cao Jie hurriedly stretched out his index finger and made a "shhh" gesture, "Don't talk, listen quietly!" Cao Jie's ears stood up, lowered his voice, and was carefully listening to the sounds from the house. In Cao Song's memory, Cao Jie, who was arrogant and arrogant, listened so patiently? This was the first time.

Lang Lang's reading sound was like a trickle of water... It was slowly coming into Cao Song and Cao Jie's ears.

——"Don't let the springs go, don't let the slaughter be changed, don't make the concubine a wife, don't let the woman do state affairs..."

Uncommon words form catchy words, and every sentence comes out, it seems to be ancient Chinese?

Well... ancient Chinese?

Cao Song and Cao Jie both have extremely high attainments in literature. One was a doctorate from the School of Commerce, and the other was a favorite student of Cao Teng, the eunuch of "Article"... How could they not recognize this rare ancient Chinese?

These childish voices chanted "The Book of Guliang in the Spring and Autumn Period", which was the "Kuiqiu Agreement" signed by Guan Zhong during the Kuiqiu Alliance in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the name of the Zhou Emperor, five clauses were announced - the vassal states could not intercept and build dams; the food could not be stored; the princes could not be replaced casually; the concubine could not be promoted as a wife; the woman could not be allowed to participate in state affairs.

You should know that the terms of the "Kuiqiu Regiment" maintain the royal power, and even in the Eastern Han Dynasty... were inherited and used, and were regarded as a classic by Confucianism.

Cao Song slapped his forehead...

Although he was surprised that his six-year-old grandson Cao Shu could read a rather difficult Confucian work like "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Guliang"...

But...why is Cao Jie, who has always been arrogant, so he is fascinated by hearing it? This is a bit weird?

The atmosphere became quiet... The entire courtyard was filled with a bright and echoing voice of grandson Cao Shu...

One breath, two breaths...ten breaths...

After ten breaths, Cao Jie's thoughts seemed to be taken back from the sky... He exclaimed: "Don't regard concubines as his wife... I'm better not to regard concubines as his wife!" Cao Jie said aloud... and he seemed quite excited.

He has always been smart and his mind is even more active. From this sentence, he found the key to breaking the deadlock!

Hahaha…

In an instant, Cao Jie laughed out loud. He put his shoulder on Cao Song and hurriedly asked. "Who is in this room?"

"It's... it's Meng De's second son, and the other grandson I just mentioned - Cao Shu..." Cao Song replied.

"Hahaha!" Cao Jie laughed out loud, "This young man Cao Cao... is an official and not a good person, but he is good at giving birth to a son... Haha... he gave birth to a good son!" After that, Cao Jie laughed again...

Now, Cao Song was stunned... Why did he feel a little strange? He was worried just now and wanted to scold him for being a bloody Cao Jie? Why did it change all of a sudden? It's just because of an article "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Valley and Liang"?

Confused? Confused? There were more and more question marks on Cao Song's forehead... Cao Jie kept smiling, his eyes narrowed into a slit. Seeing Cao Song's face was confused, he reminded him again: "Cao Dasiyuan... don't regard his concubine as his wife, and don't regard his concubine as his wife!"

Uh…this?

Cao Song also began to think about the sentence that his grandson Cao Shu read aloud...

Don’t treat the concubine as a wife? Isn’t it? Can’t we support the concubine as a wife? The elders and the young are superior and the nobles are orderly? What’s so funny about this? What’s the relationship with Meng De’s son?

Wow…Don’t you regard your concubine as your wife?

etc…

Suddenly, Cao Song realized a little bit of smell, concubine, wife, elder, noble and humble, noble and humble in order... concubine! wife! For a moment, Cao Song's originally frowning frown suddenly relieved, and the tension and panic all over his body suddenly turned into relief and freedom.

Huh... I breathed out a long breath, and the stones hanging in my heart finally landed safely.

Haha... Sweet, Sweet, Sweet, Cao Song laughed out loud regardless of his image. Seeing him laugh, Cao Jie put his other hand on his shoulder... Looking at each other, he kept laughing.

It turned out that Cao Song and Cao Jie both found a turning point from the sentence Cao Shu said, "Don't regard their concubine as their wife"... and found the key to solving the situation in the "Empress Song case".

In ancient times, a wife was the wife, the owner of the family; a concubine was a concubine, a slave, and a servant... The ancients believed that the concubine could not be properly supported as a wife. In addition to strictly defining the humble identity of a concubine... there is another meaning, that the concubine was not the person who really belonged to this family.

Cao Song's niece Cao Ying married Empress Song's younger brother as a concubine... Yes, as a concubine!

Since ancient times, every dynasty and every generation, the family of concubines has never been within the scope of the nine clans... In other words, the case of Queen Song, even if it implicates the nine clans... The Cao family is able to completely separate the relationship, and it is upright and will not leave a trace of the handle.

It’s not surprising that Cao Jie and Cao Song laughed loudly after understanding this section.

"Hahaha…"

Cao Jie's eyes almost narrowed into a slit... Cao Song saved it, and his help outside the palace was saved... When the limelight passed, there was always a way to restore Cao Song's position.

When he thought of this, Cao Jie looked at the former residence of the godfather Cao Teng and the late emperor Liu Bao, and the name of Cao Shuo came to his mind. "Brother..." As well, his tone of Cao Song became much more polite. "Let me see you, your precious grandson Cao Shuo!"
