Chapter 2751 Do you want to make an important decision?
Xiahou Zizang was a little scared.
Some people say that children are children for the first time, but most of the time parents are also parents for the first time.
Lao Wang said earnestly, "It is the son's fault that he does not teach his father." However, Lao Wang never said whether it should be "a stick produces filial sons" or "appreciation and education produce talents."
The real situation is that filial sons may not be born under the stick, and talents may not be born by appreciating education.
I don’t know exactly how to teach him, Lao Wang also spread his hands.
Both parents and children are separate individuals. Very few people can understand things. Most of the time, they actually seek a balance between "you, me and him". But most of the time, the dominant one is always
it's all me".
Xiahou Zizang felt that Xiahou Dun had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a parent. He could not see him a few times a year. When he did meet, he would either scold or teach him a lesson. There was no "appreciation" at all. Every time he saw the parents of those poor people, it was considered a hard work.
With their own children by their side, Xiahou Zizang would inevitably show some envy. He hoped that Xiahou Dun could accompany him.
Therefore, Xiahou Zizang would sometimes do things deliberately to attract Xiahou Dun's attention, and some of them were even obvious wrong things.
But after doing many wrong things, Xiahou Zizang got used to it.
It is difficult to do good things, but very easy to do wrong things.
By doing wrong things, he tried to attract Xiahou Dun's attention. This originally was a small and meager intention, but it was quickly covered up by the stimulation of dopamine. This kind of thing was clearly known in the heart that it was a wrong thing, but after doing it wrong
But no one caught him, and Xiahou Zizang gained double happiness.
Xiahou Zizang was immersed in such happiness.
Later, Xiahou Zizang actually did it purely to obtain dopamine, but he still said that he had been wronged and felt pain. Otherwise, how could he have any reason to do bad things?
Xiahou Zizang said more than once that he didn't care about the frivolous wealth around him. If he could exchange these frivolous wealth for his father's company, he would do it without hesitation!
As for what would happen if it were really changed, Xiahou Zizang never thought about it.
there has never been.
So he didn't understand the cavalry that Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun jointly killed...
Why?
Why was Xiahou Dun so strict?
Why can't I just do whatever I want?
Why……
But this time, Xiahou Zizang and others discovered that they were indeed trapped in Qiao County by this blow!
Under martial law, the inside and outside were closed. Just as they were about to arrive in Qiao County, all the young men who wanted to have fun were blocked in the city. They were like fish frozen under the ice in winter. It was difficult to see them.
I wanted to breathe through a hole, but found that the hole was actually a trap!
The festive banquet has just begun, and a life and death decision has come.
If you were in a manor outside the city, it would be difficult to catch you if you really wanted to run away, but in the city, once the city gate is locked and the inner square is sealed, you can't escape if you want to...
According to the law of the Han Dynasty, a close relative can hide from each other.
It's just that this law may not work every time. When it can be "hidden", it will be well hidden and cannot be found no matter where it is. But when it cannot be "hidden", even if
Even if they are hidden deep in the mountains, they will be found and then set on fire and burned to death.
What made Xiahou Zang even more unexpected was that he was actually stabbed out by his "little friend"!
Not only what he did in Qiao County, but even his old accounts in Xu County were uncovered!
How long has it been since this happened? Shouldn't it have been forgotten long ago?
The people who betrayed Xiahou Zizang were all on weekdays, following him around. They always nodded and bowed with a kind and smiling attitude when they met. In his feeling, even his parents were not as understanding and harmonious as them.
Reliable and trustworthy "little partner"!
How fat is this?!
Didn’t they all agree in advance that they wouldn’t say anything even to death?!
Xiahou Zizang felt that he was not as spineless as those "little friends", so when he faced Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Zizang remained silent, lowered his head, and knelt in the hall.
Just like what he did when he made a mistake before.
Anyway, the worst case scenario is that I'll get beaten once, or if it doesn't work, I'll get beaten twice, and once I'm done with it, it's over.
But what Xiahou Zizang didn't expect was that Xiahou Dun didn't come up angrily and beat him up, but remained silent as well. After a long time, he sat down in front of Xiahou Zizang.
"I...actually am a rough guy..." Xiahou Dun said slowly, "I have told you this many times, but today, I will tell you again...for the last time..."
Xiahou Zizang felt that something was not right, but he remained silent and did not speak. Perhaps he was used to being silent in front of his father, or perhaps his mind had been ruled out after he gave up thinking for the first time.
After thinking about the options, Xiahou Zizang finally said nothing.
"I once placed high hopes on my eldest brother..." Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice, "He is the eldest brother, so I hope he can set an example and at least succeed me in the future and take on the important responsibilities of the Xiahou family, but...
...Your elder brother talks about military affairs very well on paper, but when he really wants to do it... How can life and death for a military strategist be such a child's play? Once the army is defeated, it will almost lead to a total collapse! If it fights hard and cannot be defeated, it is fine, but
he……"
"I broke your eldest brother's legs and spared his life...but in your eldest brother's words, he felt that it would be better to let me kill him! Indeed, sometimes I also think, it is better to kill him."
!』
When Xiahou Dun talked about the killing, the evil spirit formed in the army rose up all over his body, making Xiahou Zizang's body tremble slightly.
"Your eldest brother fled in fear of fighting back then, and now he is still thinking about escaping! He says every day that he would rather die than live, and indeed he would rather live than die! But in such a situation, if you can take the responsibility and survive in death, it will be broken.
And Hou Li, let alone his legs are disabled, so what if all his limbs are disabled?! He is still a heroic man! If he really feels that he is destined to die every day, and shouts that he has suffered a lot every day, then why is he still alive?
?There are knives in the festival hall and ropes in the woodshed. If you really want to seek death, who can stop you?!"
Xiahou Zang's eyes widened and he was speechless. He previously thought that his father was indeed unfair to his eldest brother, but regardless of whether it was fair or unfair, just that his eldest brother kept talking about his grievances every day and how much suffering he had just suffered.
At first, Xiahou Zizang felt a little worried, but as time went by, he also became a little annoyed, and even thought the same thing as what his father Xiahou Dun said.
His eldest brother was afraid of death. He was afraid of death when he went into battle. Now that he is no longer in battle, he is still afraid of death. The reason why his eldest brother talks about life being worse than death every day is more of a begging for mercy, or a threat, showing that he is already a
It's so miserable, so we should get more?
"Sometimes I wonder..." Xiahou Dun exhaled, "Am I asking too much of you... But since your eldest brother wants to inherit the family business, does he need to have some meritorious deeds to gain a stable footing? If your eldest brother is talented in literature,
It's okay to be outstanding, but if there is no Xiahou family name in those bullshit articles written by your eldest brother, who will praise him? If the article is not successful, I think about martial arts, let him lead the army alone, and teach him
Military strategy, but he listened on the surface and turned around and forgot! When he actually arrived at the battle formation, he was the first to run! Just like this, your elder brother still said that it was better to kill him in the first place?! Ha, indeed, I really wished I had killed him in the first place.
he!"
Xia Houzi Zang was as silent as a cicada.
"So...are you like your elder brother, forcing me to be this cruel father? If I kill you, everyone will scold the Xiahou family for being cruel, saying that tiger poison does not eat its children, but they don't want your father."
So cruel and ruthless? If I spare you..." Xiahou Dun looked at Xiahou Zizang, "How can our Xiahou family take care of this Qiao County, this Jiyu, and other places? We can't even take care of our own children.
What shame do you have to care about others?!』
Xiahou Dun looked at Xiahou Zizang, "Do you know why your friends always talk about you? Do you know why your friends call you for everything? Do you really think that your friends value you so much?"
, looking at your horse’s head?』
"Father..." Xiahou Zang didn't know what to say.
"I'm not in the mood to listen to your excuses right now! I feel ashamed after hearing all the dirty things you did! I said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, and I also beat those who should be beaten or not...
I have also said the truth, and you have also suffered the physical pain!" Xiahou Dun did not wait for Xiahou Zizang to speak out slowly, and said directly, "I gave you a choice before, and I will wait for you to grow up..."
"Now, first, I will send you to Youbei, and you will start as a soldier incognito! Only when you have made a future with your own hands and accumulated meritorious deeds can you welcome back. Before that, your surname is no longer Xiahou!"
"Two, I will depose you as a commoner and send you to Qingzhou. I will only give you ten acres of thin farmland and three tile-roofed houses. You will have no servants and no money. You will farm and reap your own food and survive on your own!"
"What?!" Xiahou Zizang's eyes widened, and his expression was so distorted that he was about to cry, "Father, I, I don't want it! Please don't do this! This, this will make me die! I will die!"
』
Xiahou Zizang did not want either option.
Become a soldier? And be a big-headed soldier incognito?
Are you kidding?!
Or Youbei! Is that a place where people can stay?
The second option is that Qingzhou is not a good place either. That shabby place has been completely destroyed and even the livestock cannot survive!
What's more, there are only ten acres of thin farmland, so it's hard to even chew!
"Haha, I heard that when you did some nasty things, the people who suffered often begged you and told you "no"?" Xiahou Dun sighed, "When you did evil, you never thought about it.
Will something happen? Have you never thought about the consequences? Have you never thought that this world is not something you can have if you want it, or you can have it if you want it? You make your own choice. If you don’t choose, I will follow the first one...
…I would rather see the children of the Xiahou family die on the battlefield than see you die on a woman’s belly!”
"Father! No! No! No..."
Seeing Xiahou Dun was about to leave, Xiahou Zizang rushed forward and hugged Xiahou Dun's legs.
Xiahou Dun wanted to pull his legs out, but Xiahou Zang held him tightly, like a drowning man holding a straw, "Father! I... It's all my fault, my fault... okay..."
Okay, okay...No, I don’t want it...』
Xiahou Dun shook his legs twice and saw that Xiahou Zizang was stuck to his legs like rubber and could not be shaken off.
Xiahou Dun clenched his fists tightly and shouted at Xiahou Dun's guards who were far outside the courtyard: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you pull this traitor away!"
Several Xiahou guards came with the order, apologized to Xiahou Zang, and stepped forward to tear him apart.
"No...no!"
Xiahou Zizang shouted, his voice cracking. Even though he was being pulled by the guards, his hands were still holding on to Xiahou Dun's shirt. In the end, Xiahou Dun had to simply tear off his shirt.
He took off his shirt and finally broke free from Xiahou Zizang.
Xiahou Zizang shouted, tears streaming down his face, "No... I was wrong... I was really wrong... I don't want it, I don't want it... let me go, let me go..."
Xiahou Dun stood at the gate of the courtyard with his back to Xiahou Zizang. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "I told you before... you may not have listened at all... When the noble families of the aristocratic families were dealing with the enemy,
They may not necessarily use swords and guns, but also use rumors from the countryside, and some... Just like you, they will send all kinds of people to cater to you, flatter you, praise you, lead you, and follow you.
All kinds of things you want to do! Their ultimate goal is to turn you from a human into a dog! A pig!』
"But you are still enjoying it! When you came back from Xu County, you said you would change and work hard. I believed it... What was the result?" Xiahou Dun punched the courtyard door angrily, making a loud banging sound.
, "You lie to your relatives, but you are honest to outsiders! You make countless promises, but you never work hard! Do you think you deserve everything in the Xiahou family? This is obtained with the blood of many sons of the Xiahou family! You have never worked hard."
After giving, what qualifications do you have to enjoy?! And what qualifications do you have to cry and beg?!"
Xiahou Dun no longer looked back, and regardless of whether Xiahou Zizang heard his last words or not, he walked forward out of the courtyard. He saw Xiahou Mao prostrate on the ground in front of the courtyard with his head lowered.
.
"You want to plead for your brother?"
Xiahou Dun walked up to Xiahou Mao.
Xia Houmao lowered his head and put it on the ground. After a moment of silence, he said: "Third brother... Third brother is just young and ignorant, and does not know the key to guarding the country. I... I also failed to persuade him in time... I hope my father will do it."
Your Excellency, please forgive me a little and see the consequences... There is an ancient saying that knowing your mistakes can..."
"That's enough!" Xiahou Dun shouted in a deep voice.
Xiahou Mao shivered all over.
"You get up first." Xiahou Dun pulled Xiahou Mao up from the ground, "Being lustful is really not a big problem... I also liked beauty when I was young. I also never forbid you to find Meiji as a concubine.
, but what is he going to do? He specifically goes to harm the wives and daughters of good families! Don’t say you don’t know either?!』
"..." Xia Houmao lowered his head. He didn't dare to say he knew or didn't know.
"You have a weak personality and don't like fighting, but there are some things..." Xiahou Dun patted Xiahou Mao's shoulder, "If you hadn't avoided it, it would have been fine... When you should fight hard, you should fight! It's a bloody head."
You have to fight for the flow! Make a decision when it’s time to make a decision! Even if it’s..."
Xiahou Dun suddenly stopped, then took a breath, and patted Xiahou Mao's shoulder again, "Okay, do you understand? Be careful in your words and deeds, how many people are watching you... In the future, Xiahou's family fortune may be
It’s up to you..."
"Only." Xiahou Mao responded, and then suddenly found some blood flowing on Xiahou Dun's hands, "Father, your hands..."
"Oh, it's okay, I accidentally broke it just now..." Xiahou Dun waved his hand nonchalantly, "Go back and tell everyone in the inner house... I will send this traitor to Youbei tonight...
If it is good iron, it will become steel after being tempered. If it is rotten iron... just think that I, Xiahou Shao, have given birth to a child!"
Xiahou Dun strode away.
Xiahou Zijiang popped up from the far wall and ran over, "What did Father say?"
Xia Houmao was silent for a while, shook his head, and then said: "My father wants to send him to Youbei."
"How can this be done?" Xiahou Zijiang shouted loudly, "Wouldn't it be a sin for the third brother to go to that ghost place in Youbei? You can't go! Didn't you plead with your father for mercy?"
"What do you mean by that?" Xia Houmao said with a frown.
"What do you mean? The eldest brother is no longer here, so you put on the air of being an eldest brother every day, saying this and training that. Now the third brother has also been sent away, are you very happy?" Xiahou Zijiang jumped to his feet, "You are not the eldest brother.
!You never are!』
"I..." Xia Houmao waved his hand, "You are still young, you should study more and talk less nonsense!"
"Hmph!" Xiahou Zijiang didn't like Xiahou Mao at all, because Xiahou Mao wanted him to study more when they met, and his third brother Zizang took him to play and eat and drink every day, so of course he thought he would take him there
The one who lets him play, eat and drink is a good brother, and the one who lets him study is a bad brother.
Xiahou Zijiang rushed to the courtyard gate and wanted to go in to find his third brother, but was stopped by the guards at the courtyard gate. He couldn't help but jump on his feet and yelled. Then he was criticized by Xiahou Mao, so he became more and more angry and shouted, "
"I will never be the big brother" and so on.
While Xiahou Mao asked the guards to take Xiahou Zijiang away, he went to the inner house with a headache. He had already foreseen what kind of waves would be set off in the inner house, and he had to face it personally...
This turmoil is not limited to such a courtyard, or the Xiahou family.
In Qiao County, a group of descendants of the Xiahou family of the Cao family were arrested.
Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun joined forces to arrest not only the young masters in Qiao County, but also the officials who had confessed to them in Qiao County and even around Yanzhou and Yuzhou were also arrested one after another.
, for a time there was a roar of wind, cranes, and grass and trees, and the relevant personnel were terrified.
A large number of children from side branches who originally belonged to poor families were temporarily promoted, especially those who had some marriages with the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Children who had previously been in marginal roles, such as those from the Ding family, the Gao family, etc., re-entered the officialdom and mastered some
A higher position.
These things are like a wave. Although the water has splashed all over the reef, it does not mean that the wave has ended...
