Chapter 325 Both Father and Son Are Two Thousand Stones (2/2)
Chapter 325 Father and son both have two thousand stones (2/2)
As Liu Ye said, after four years of officialdom, Cao Ji is no longer the Zhongyang village man he used to be!
After Liu Ye left, Cao Ji had no intention of continuing to search for information, so he left the library. Now Cao Ji is also equipped with an entourage. Although he is just a marquis of Fengche, he has no residence and only a name, but he is still a marquis.
Lord. So, Cao Ji had already changed to a carriage when he went out, and was equipped with thirty black beasts and twenty flying beasts to accompany him. On the one hand, it was customary, and on the other hand, it was for safety.
After all, Cao Peng has become famous in the past two years, but he has also attracted many enemies.
Cao Ji didn't think anything of it, but Huang Yueying thought it was better to be careful...
Halfway through the carriage, Cao Ji suddenly stopped the carriage and horses.
"Go to Dr. Puyang's house."
He needed to find someone to discuss it with, because the news was too sudden.
Tai servant, one of the nine ministers.
It began in the Spring and Autumn Period, followed by the Qin and Han Dynasties, and was in charge of the emperor's carriage and horse administration.
During the Western Han Dynasty, powerful priests in the six counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and Xihe raised 300,000 horses. These horses, including cattle and sheep used for annual sacrifices, were all under the jurisdiction of Taipu Temple. Eastern Han Dynasty
After that, in addition to retaining the Chariot House, Weiyang took charge of the emperor's chariots and horses, the rest of the stables and the priests and officers of the six northwest counties were omitted. However, at the same time, the imperial servants under the Shaofu were added to supervise the production of bows and crossbows.
A, also includes weaving and various handymen. This power has not been reduced too much.
Cao Ji did not have many advisers around him.
When I was in Xingyang before, it was enough to have Guo Yong to help me.
After returning to Xudu, Cao Ji was busy making Cao's official carriage, so there was no need to summon his staff. Huang Yueying's help was enough.
But if you go to Taipu Temple, it will be different than before.
That is equivalent to being involved in court disputes...
Cao Ji basically had no trouble in Sikong Mansion. Everyone knew that he was a member of Cao Cao's clan, and his son-in-law and his son were all equally free. And Sikong Mansion was directly controlled by Cao Ma, so who could
Will he be full and go to find trouble with Cao Ji?
But when you arrive at Taipu Temple, it’s completely different!
Cao Cao led the imperial court and used Sikong to control the nine ministers.
But Taipu Temple is not Sikong Mansion after all, it is a system of its own.
There were many personnel disputes and political differences, and it was impossible for Mr. Cao to ask Taipu Temple about everything. That would not be good.
When Cao Ji arrived at Taipu Temple, it was like starting all over again.
How could this not make him feel worried?
Puyang Kai lives in a small street, and his appearance is not eye-catching.
As a doctor of the Five Classics and having just taken office, he naturally tried to keep a low profile. Puyang Kai also had no foundation, so he was cautious when doing things. He was even cautious when choosing a residence. Originally, Cao Ji wanted to help
You were looking for a good house, but Puyang Kai refused! He found a residence on a small street with five tile-roofed houses and a small courtyard, which was enough.
The carriage stopped outside Puyang Kai's residence, and Cao Ji got out of the carriage.
He knocked on the door, and within a moment he heard a voice coming from inside, "Who is it?"
"My Excellency, Cao Ji, is here to pay a visit to Mr. Puyang."
The door creaked open, and a young man of 14 years old poked his head out.
"Captain Cao, why are you here?"
The young man saw clearly that it was Cao Ji and smiled brightly.
Cao Ji recognized this young man as Puyang Kai's only son, named Puyang Yi.
In the second year of Jian'an, Puyang Kai had intended to move to Jiangdong, and sent his only son Pu Yangyi to a friend's home in Wu County. However, due to various reasons, Puyang Kai did not make the trip, and Deng Ji went to Haixi. Then in
Haixi gave Puyang Kai his second spring. Not only did he become an official, he also became the head of a county. Even Pu Yang Kai himself did not expect that he could achieve this level.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce crossed the river to attack Guangling.
Puyang Kai then found someone to take Puyang Yi back from Wujun and stayed in Haixi for a year.
Later, Pu Yangkai became a doctor of the Five Classics, and Pu Yang Yi followed Pu Yang Kai to Xudu.
When Pu Yangkai visited the Cao Mansion last time, Cao Ji also saw Pu Yang Yi. So he smiled slightly and said softly: "Zi'an, are you here?"
"My father has just come back, and my uncle came just in time."
Cao Ji turned around and asked Fei Qian and Hei Qian to wait outside. He took Deng Juye and walked into Puyang Kai's home.
Puyang Kai also heard the noise, so he walked out of the room and saw that it was Cao Ji. He couldn't help but wonder: "Hou Fengche, why are you here?"
Behind Puyang Kai was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
Cao Ji also recognized him. The young man's name was Lu Hao. He was said to be a friend of Pu Yangyi's when he was in Wu County.
"Mr. Puyang, I'm disturbing you!"
"Ha, you're welcome to serve as a hostess..."
After Pu Yangkai and Cao Ji were polite to each other, they walked into the room.
The two were seated separately. Pu Yangyi and Lu Hao served drinks and then left. They also knew that Cao Ji suddenly came because he must have something to discuss with Puyang Kai. Although Cao Ji might not go behind their backs,
This basic etiquette must still be followed.
"Zizhang, what are you doing here with Chehou?"
"I don't know, something must have happened, so I came to ask my uncle for advice."
"Hmm... I don't know when that Cao Babai will come back."
Lu Mao scratched his head and said softly: "There is no need to rush this matter... My brother sent me here and he also said that we should proceed slowly and there is no need to rush."
Pu Yangyi nodded and closed his mouth.
The two sat down on the porch, took out a set of Go and started playing.
At this time, Cao Ji, who was in the living room, did not hesitate and explained the situation to Puyang Yi straight to the point, and then said: "Although it is reasonable to transfer me to Taipu Temple, I have not heard about it.
Is there any vacancy in Taipu Temple now? Farming is busy today, and Sikong suddenly came up with this idea. I don’t quite understand it... I’m worried that there might be some mystery hidden in it.”
Puyang Yi listened carefully and remained silent.
After a long while, he whispered: "I can vaguely guess Sikong's intention.
Sikong sent you to Taipu Temple for two reasons. First, he didn’t want you to stay in Sikong Mansion. After all, you wouldn’t get much experience in Sikong Mansion. You have now returned to your clan and acknowledged your ancestors.
He is considered a confidant of Sikong. Of course he hopes that one day you can take charge of your own affairs and resolve his sorrows... This can be seen from Sikong's always paying attention to the behavior of his clan members.
Sikong is here to train you, and you will definitely be promoted in the future... Juan Shi, I want to congratulate you!"
There was a hint of envy in Puyang Kai's words.
In fact, he was indeed envious.
This Cao Ji is really lucky. Not only does he have a great son, but his son-in-law is also doing great in politics now. He also has a skill! Even if this skill is just a vulgar skill in the eyes of many people, with this skill, Cao Ji is also
Good luck and continuous promotion.
Cao Ji said: "I dare to ask, what is the second meaning?"
"The second meaning..."
Puyang Kai hesitated for a moment.
He stood up and walked out of the room. He saw Pu Yangyi and Lu Hao playing chess not far away, so he nodded and turned back.
"I don't think this second meaning is directed at Juan Shi."
"oh?"
"Haven't Jun Shi noticed that the atmosphere in Xudu has not been very relaxed recently? Especially Kong Rong's words have pushed Sikong to the forefront. Sikong may not care about this, but he has to be cautious. Let friends
On the one hand, the purpose of returning to school is to reorganize the Yueqi camp, and on the other hand, it also means to strengthen the supervision of Xudu. After all, Sikong attaches great importance to Youxue...
Then it becomes meaningful for Sikong to send you to Taipu Temple.
Although I don’t know that I will ask you to take any position in Taipu Temple, but I think your rank will not be lower than that of your current Civil Cao Captain, or even...
If that's the case, then Sikong's meaning is very obvious."
"I don't understand!"
Talking to scholars is a hassle!
Isn't it enough for you to give a straightforward explanation? Instead, you have to be roundabout in one sentence, making it difficult for people to understand.
If it were my Ah Fu, he would definitely speak clearly. But Cao Ji also knows that this is the way to be an official... Sitting in this position, it is inevitable that there will be many constraints. When it comes to speaking, sometimes it is necessary
It is also a way to protect oneself by being more subtle so as not to cause trouble to come out of one's mouth.
Even sometimes, Cao Ji spoke like this.
However, what Puyang Kai said was indeed too obscure and beyond Cao Ji's ability.
Puyang Kai smiled and said softly: "Who is in charge of Taipu Temple now?"
"Xun Shangshu."
"Then when Sikong left Xudu, who would he leave in charge of the court?"
"It's also Xun Shangshu..."
As soon as Cao Ji finished speaking, he suddenly woke up. He raised his head and looked at Pu Yangkai, only to see Pu Yangkai smiling and nodding gently.
"You mean..."
"That's right, Sikong asked you to go to Taipu Temple. In fact, he was telling Shangshu Xun that he was a little dissatisfied with Shangshu Xun."
Does knocking the mountain shake the tiger?
probably……
I will arrange for a person I trust to take up an important position under you. In this way, I will express my dissatisfaction!
This is probably what Mr. Cao expressed to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu's previous hesitation caused the undercurrent in Xudu today. If Xun Yu had given an unmistakable warning after Kong Rong said those words, it would have made many people fearful and continue honestly.
Just stay still and Xu Du will naturally calm down.
But Xun Yu didn't say anything at that time.
This will also give many people the illusion that Mr. Cao is currently in danger, so he has no time to take care of it...
Since Cao Cao cannot protect himself, and Yuan Shao has always given people the impression of being strong, it is natural that some people will have other thoughts.
Cao Ji is a chess piece used by Cao Cao to defeat Xun Yu.
Of course, Cao Cao's arrangement is also very interesting. He knows that Cao Ji is not good enough to take on the important task. If he is sent directly to the Shangshu Mansion, many people will definitely be dissatisfied and even jump out to oppose it. But Taipu Temple
It's different... Taipu Temple itself is responsible for the examination of workers, and weapons and armor are all under the jurisdiction of Taipu Temple. Cao Ji himself is a great man in Yinmo, and he is best at this aspect.
Even if someone objected to sending Cao Ji to Taipu Temple, there was no excuse.
Using Cao Ji to remove some of Xun Yu's dispensable power can not only temper Cao Ji, but also give Xun Yu a certain degree of warning. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
* He also told him that I still trust you and hope that you will not disappoint me; at the same time, you can promote a clan member and be fully tempered... Cao Cao calculated this account very clearly.
He didn't go to anyone else, but told Xun Yu that I still trust you.
At the same time, the relationship between Cao Ji's family and Xun Yu was also good, and Xun Yu would not have any resentment.
Puyang Kai thought and explained to Cao Ji.
But at the end of the explanation, he couldn't help but take a breath and secretly praised Mr. Cao for his clever arrangement!
He is worthy of being a capable official in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times... Such a light-weight method is not something that ordinary people can think of or do...
Cao Ji also fell into deep thought!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++
The next day, Cao Ji received Xun Yu's order to report to the Shangshu Mansion.
Cao Ji, who had been mentally prepared, immediately came to Shangshu Mansion. However, Xun Yu did not meet Cao Ji in the public room, but asked him to talk in the study. This was also a message Xun Yu conveyed to Mr. Cao:
I have understood what you mean, lord, and I am very grateful and have no complaints. You see, I am still very close to Cao Junshi as before, and I will not feel alienated or embarrassed with him.
When Cao Cao and Xun Yu were in this position, every move they made had a special meaning.
Of course Xun Yu knew that there must be Cao Cao's eyes and ears in his Shangshu Mansion. This kind of thing was common, and Xun Yu didn't care.
He just apologized to Mr. Cao in this way.
Of course, whether Mr. Cao will accept his apology depends on Xun Yu's next actions.
"Juan Shi, Tai Pu Cheng fell ill due to illness two days ago, so a seat was vacated.
Originally, I planned to make another selection, but you also know that now that Sikong is fighting with Yuan Shao, there must be no problem with this armor and equipment. Therefore, I have decided to appoint you as the Taipusheng... Prime Minister Taipusi affairs,
If you have any requests, just ask."
When Cao Ji heard this, he was immediately stunned!
Tai Pu Cheng?
That is the largest position in Taipu Temple under Taipu.
Today, Xun Yu is in charge of Taipu Temple. But from his tone, it is clear that he wants Cao Ji to take on the responsibility of Taipu Temple.
Cao Ji once thought that the position that Xun Yu was most likely to ask him to take was the work examination order.
But now...
Xun Yu left all the affairs of Taipu Temple in the hands of Cao Ji.
Cao Ji pondered for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "Cao Ji was dispatched according to the order of the minister."
Xun Yu glanced at Cao Ji and sighed secretly in his heart.
Thinking back to when Cao Ji was asked to serve as the supervisor of various industries with a salary of 300 shi, Cao Ji was trembling and did not even dare to take the responsibility; now, when such a large Taipu Temple was handed over to him, he only hesitated for a moment.
The change is really too amazing...
Cao Ji's sect is truly extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "In addition, Sikong has another appointment, ordering you to temporarily take over the post of Jin Wu Cheng and replace the arsenal order."
If the appointment of Tai Pu Cheng was expected by Cao Ji, then the next appointment left Cao Ji stunned. Zhi Jin Wu Cheng? Weapon Order? I can understand that I am the Weapon Order?
This Jin Wu Cheng is quite unexpected.
Today's Zhijinwu is Jia Xu.
At this moment, Jia Xu was assisting Cao Cao in Zhongmu.
That is to say, I have to take on the affairs of Zhijinwu...zhijinwucheng, which is a serious official position of more than two thousand stones.
A thought suddenly flashed through Cao Ji's mind: Ah Fuyue, the captain of the cavalry school, is worth two thousand dan, and I have become the prime minister again... Doesn't it mean that my father and son are both worth 2,000 dan?
