It can be said that the Cao family treats the main family poorly, and the pit of the ninth-level Zhongzheng was dug long ago when Cao Ang died.
There was nothing they could do. After the death of Cao Ang, the seven Xiahou brothers did their own thing regardless of the disputes between Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang. However, when Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang came to power, it was a thorn in their side that the Xiahou family just stood aside and did nothing.
In addition, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang were destined to have a small gap in their basic bases when Cao Ang wanted to maintain stability when guiding the distribution. This also meant that the three of them had similar resources.
The most brutal battle in the world is not when one side is strong and the other is weak, but when the two sides are evenly matched but still have to compete. In such a battle, the victor will also be seriously injured. It can be said that Cao Pi finally used Chen Qun's Ninth Grade Zhongzheng.
Not only because of short-sightedness, but also because of drinking poison to quench thirst.
Therefore, Cao Pi, who won the title of heir apparent, would lose almost everything by then. The seeds for the disintegration of the Cao family and the Xiahou family had already been planted, and everything was already doomed.
It can be said that Cao Cao's biggest mistake in his life was not paying attention to the fact that his eldest son had a king's heart under his gentle face. Different from his heroic heart, Cao Ang might be better than him, but it's a pity that everything will be lost if he dies.
Got a joke.
"Juan sister." When Cao Ang came back, he saw Xiahou Juan looking at his younger brothers and sisters, and felt a little relieved. It was not an easy task to manage these monkeys.
"Brother." Xia Houjuan said a little tiredly. She couldn't control these children, and she was obviously happy when she saw Cao Ang coming.
"You go and have a rest. Zhang Yide's sworn brother Guan Yunchang has arrived in Chang'an. It's time for Sister Juan to think about it." Cao Ang had also seen Guan Yu before, so he naturally knew that if Guan Yu dared to come, he would definitely visit Xiahou's family. However, Zhang Fei was
He proposed to Xia Houyuan in front of him.
Xia Houjuan was obviously a little embarrassed, but then he calmed down and nodded. "Zhang Fei, I can't say that he is good, but there may not be many people in Chang'an who are more reassuring than Zhang Fei.
What does it mean?
After Liu Ba entered Chang'an City, he began to think about how to meet Cao Cao. He was a die-hard supporter of Cao Cao and did not care about time and place. He finally got here. How about meeting Cao Cao?
However, it is not easy for Liu Ba, who is now in a state of embarrassment, to meet Cao Cao. Fortunately, he has already followed Guan Yu in. The next step is to use a small plan to meet Cao Cao.
Speaking of Liu Ba, Liu Ba is a strange person. No matter in the past life or in this life, joining Liu Bei is the best choice. But this man who has gone through many difficulties and dangers and climbed to Chang'an still chose to join Cao Cao. He has already made up his mind.
Cao Cao is in trouble.
Guan Yu didn't take Liu Ba to heart. Of course, he didn't care that Liu Ba lived with him in the post station. After Liu Ba washed up and changed into the Confucian robe prepared by the post station, the high-spirited confidence of the famous minister returned.
By that time, Guan Yu had been summoned to the imperial palace for an audience.
Of course, this is actually not etiquette, but Guan Yu arrived a little late. According to the etiquette, he can only meet again after the new year. However, Liu Bei is the most important one among the current clan members, and he performs it carefully every year.
Pay tribute, so Liu Xie decided to recruit him specially after learning about it.
From this aspect, Liu Xie was not too confused sometimes, but due to Dong Cheng's instigation, Liu Xie and Guan Yu were not harmonious.
After all, Guan Yu himself was somewhat aloof, and due to his personality and expression, Dong Cheng considered him to be an unruly person who despised the imperial power.
Fortunately, Guan Yu himself was loyal and loyal, and Liu Xie did not express any dissatisfaction directly. Although Guan Yu was dissatisfied because of Dong Cheng's insinuations, he did not have any dissatisfaction. After all, Liu Xie, Liu Bei, and the Han Dynasty had overlapping interests.
The degree is very high.
As before, the officials who came to pay tribute recorded the management of the people that year, and then the emperor rewarded him. However, Guan Yu was not short of money and food, and it was impossible to raise the title without great merit, so Liu Xie made a plan and gave Guan Yu
General Fenwu was promoted to General of the Guards.
How do you say this? In fact, they are all fourth-level official positions, but the general of the army is much more powerful than the general of Fenwu, because the general of the army is mainly in charge of the forbidden army, so Liu Xie already knows what he means. After all, Guan Yu is currently famous.
It's very big.
Liu Xie offered him the title of general to protect the army. Guan Yu did hesitate for a moment, but accepted it, but then made it clear that he could not stay in Chang'an for a long time. The world was not yet stable, and he still needed to go to the four directions to pacify the world.
Liu Xie was very dissatisfied when he heard this and almost had a fit on the spot. Naturally, his originally good mood turned bad. After asking Guan Yu a few questions, Liu Xie impatiently ordered Guan Yu to be sent out.
.
"Pa!" Liu Xie swept the white porcelain tribute from Liu Bei on the table to the ground, "How dare he refuse my kindness!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. Guan Yu is just a reckless man and does not deserve your Majesty's anger." Dong Cheng persuaded him immediately.
"Humph, my ministers are like this. I guess Liu Xuande may not be as good as others said." Liu Xie snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Bei.
"Your Majesty, don't do this. Whether Liu Xuande is loyal or treacherous will be known when the time comes. What we have to do now is to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and accumulate strength." Dong Cheng said humbly.
"These Han clan clan members have caused countless troubles to me and the country in times of peace and prosperity, but when the world is in chaos, they don't want to serve the country. As the abbot said, if we are far away, our hearts will be far away!" Liu Xie was dissatisfied.
Said, "In the end, you still have to rely on the father-in-law."
"We will live up to your majesty's high expectations and help your majesty revive the Han Dynasty." Dong Cheng and Wang Zifu immediately burst into tears of gratitude and said in unison.
"You are the only ones I can rely on." Liu Xie sighed, and helped Dong Cheng and Wang Zifu up with his own hands. In his opinion, the only ones who are truly loyal in the world are Dong Cheng and others. Others may have selfish motives.
, or have different intentions.
On the other hand, Liu Ba thought about what he wanted to tell Cao Cao, sorted out what he saw and heard along the way, and then compared the situation under Cao Cao's rule and Liu Bei's rule, and finally made it.
Preparation for meeting Cao Cao.
"The heroes are more realistic. Cao Mengde must be a hero if he can bend and stretch, but the combination of Liu Xuande and Chen Zichuan is so perfect that they don't look like human beings. This is too ridiculous." Liu Badong looked at Mount Tai with a sigh on his face.
Being too perfect can only lead to self-destruction. There are still shortcomings in the world, and there is no hope of perfection. Liu Bei and Chen Xi's arrogant and perfect governance methods are a precursor to self-destruction in Liu Ba's view.
Putting on his Confucian robe, Liu Ba, who was high-spirited and confident, came to Cao Cao's mansion and handed the invitation to the Cao family's concierge.
"Sikong, Guan Yunchang has envoys here to pay his respects." A guard presented the invitation to Cao Cao.
"Invite him in." Cao Cao hesitated and ordered Liu Ba to be invited in.
