My subjects are too rebellious!

"General Cao, wait a moment."

After the morning court session, Cao Cao was thinking about which house of his lover to go to for sex.

A hearty shout was heard behind him.

Cao Cao turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and the man was none other than General Zhu Di, the General of the Northern Expedition.

"It's General Zhu. How are you these days?"

Cao Cao responded with a hearty laugh.

When Zhu Di saw Cao Cao, he was not at all shy and spoke affectionately, putting his arm around Cao Cao's shoulders.

"General Cao, how can you be so distant to me?"

"I still remember that year, you and I fought bloody battles with the Manchus on the Changbai Mountain."

Cao Cao was not used to being hugged by a man, and looking at Zhu Di's friendly expression, he just wanted to stay away.

After all, after that battle, he had also witnessed Zhu Di's bravery on the battlefield.

It was also that battle that made him clearly realize that Zhu Di was a man of great talent and strategy and would never be content to be under someone else for long.

Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to stay away from this vicious guy.

"General Zhu, what are you talking about? I, Cao Cao, naturally remember that we worked together to wipe out the 120,000 Qing army."

After saying this, Cao Cao intentionally or unintentionally moved Zhu Di's hand away from his shoulder, and saw that Zhu Di wanted to come over and put his hand on his shoulder.

Cao Cao quickly stepped back and said with an awkward smile: "That battle was so exciting back then."

When Zhu Di heard this, he also laughed.

However, the friendly behavior of the two also aroused dissatisfaction among the civil officials around them.

"Vulgar and unbearable people."

Yan Song shook his long sleeves and glanced in the direction of the two men with disgust.

"I never thought that such refined and learned people like me would have to work in the same court with such rustic peasants. It's really ridiculous."

"It's insulting."

The ministers behind Yan Song also echoed.

It seemed that there was some pollution in the place where Cao Cao and Zhu Di were, so they covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and stayed away from them.

Qin Hui, on the other hand, just watched coldly from the sidelines.

It seems that no one knows what the right prime minister of the Dawu Dynasty is thinking.

Behind Qin Hui stood the other half of the civil officials of the Dawu court.

At this time, they were also keeping a close eye on Yan Song and the ministers behind him.

Everyone knows that this pair of left and right prime ministers of the Dawu Dynasty often fought openly and secretly, and both wanted to kill each other.

But no matter how the two fought, in the end they were just restraining each other.

After all, they are just someone's dog.

Cao Cao took in the strange expressions of the civil officials around him, and then looked at Zhu Di who was still trying to build relationships.

He quickly interrupted and said, "General Zhu, if you are free today, why don't you come with me to my mansion and have a drink."

"It is what I wish for, but I dare not ask for it." Zhu Di was naturally very happy.

After hearing Zhu Di's agreement, Cao Cao stepped forward and led the way.

It’s not that he wanted to get closer to Zhu Di, it’s just that there were too many people around him.

Recently, the emperor's temperament has suddenly changed. At this time, we must not provoke criticism from others to avoid causing trouble.

What's more, he didn't dare to be arm in arm with Zhu Di, such a fierce and ferocious man, in public, for fear that Zhu Di would say something disrespectful.

Besides, Cao Cao really didn't like men hugging him.

...

The two men rode tall horses, one in front and one behind.

After walking for a while, we arrived in front of a rather imposing mansion. Above the vermilion lacquered gate hung a plaque with the words "General's Mansion" and on the upper left side of the plaque were two small characters "Zhengnan".

On both sides of the gate stood two majestic lions, and there were fully armed soldiers guarding it.

"General Zhu, please."

After Cao Cao made a gesture of invitation, he took Zhu Di inside.

Walk straight in and after about two hundred steps, you will see a low and wide building behind Queying Pavilion with its door closed.

There is a small area in front, with various weapons and some stone locks and stone pillars placed around it. It must be the martial arts hall.

Zhu Di looked at the surrounding environment and did not seem surprised, because it was not much different from his own mansion.

After passing the martial arts hall, the scenery suddenly changed.

There is a pond at the back, dividing the General’s Mansion into two distinct areas.

The garden courtyard hidden behind the green trees is the back palace. A wooden arch bridge built over the pond is the only access to the backyard.

Under the sunlight, the surface of the pond reflects golden light, and purple water lilies are blooming in the water.

Against the backdrop of the reflection of green trees, it appears more delicate, soft, refreshing and unique.

If you close your eyes and listen, you can hear the sound of flowing water slowly. I guess the water in the pool is drawn from the Yong'an Canal, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

After Cao Cao brought Zhu Di into the octagonal pavilion beside the pond, several guards immediately came forward, carrying a large plate of braised beef and two large jars of wine.

"General Zhu, we are sorry for the lack of wine and food. I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Zhu Di waved his hand nonchalantly, then picked up the braised beef on the table and took a bite.

"Brother, if this standard still lacks wine and food, how can I arrange for you in the future? This table of food is already very good."

After taking a sip of wine, Zhu Di continued, "When we were marching and fighting, it was good to have something hot. Now we have wine and meat, how happy it is."

Cao Cao felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zhu Di's impolite look.

Brother? Come on! Are we that close?

I don't want to be your brother.

Cao Cao resisted madly in his heart, but he still said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, I'm glad you don't mind. Come on, drink as much as you want."

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhu Di rolled up his sleeves, wiped his mouth, and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

Cao Cao looked at Zhu Di wiping his mouth with his sleeve and complained in his heart: How rude.

Then he lifted up his scarlet robe and wiped his mouth.

After doing all this, Cao Cao felt a pang in his heart when he saw Zhu Di staring at him with a smile.

Is this what it means to be full and warm?

Only after Zhu Di spoke did Cao Cao finally put his mind at ease.

"Brother, what do you think of our Dawu court?"

So this is what you are asking. Then just ask directly. Why are you staring at me with a smile on your face?

But how do I watch it? I watch it while sitting or lying down.

Cao Cao was certainly not stupid. When Zhu Di asked this question, he knew what this big black boy wanted to say.

But he still pretended not to know and replied: "The country is strong and has many talented people."

Zhu Di heard this and asked with a smile: "Then brother, what do you think of the current emperor?"

At this moment, Cao Cao felt that bringing Zhu Di back to his mansion was a wrong decision.

You should just find a restaurant at random!

"Brother Zhu, please be careful with what you say."

"That's the current emperor. It's not something you and I can discuss casually. We just need to do our duty as subjects."

When Zhu Di heard Cao Cao's remarks, he stared at him with a smile and said, "Brother Cao, you are not honest. You are treating me as an outsider."

"Naughty."
