I don’t know who secretly spread the news that Mrs. Huan wanted to invite Cao Peng to be Cao Chong’s tutor.
However, Li Ru told Cao Peng that the person who spread the news was most likely Mrs. Huan herself. Cao Cao had many wives and concubines, excluding Mrs. Ding who had severed all ties with each other, and now there were as many as ten named people in Sikong Mansion.
Among them, there are children from aristocratic families, and some from prostitute families, with different levels of status. For example, Cao Pi's mother, Mrs. Bian, was born in a Langya prostitute family.
Intrigues between each other are inevitable.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Bian has been with Cao Cao for the longest time, has three sons, and has the highest status.
Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi were all born to Mrs. Bian. Among them, Cao Pi has begun to fulfill his responsibilities. Cao Zhi even worshiped Xun Yue as his teacher and was known for his quick thinking. Although Cao Cao loved Cao Chong, Mrs. Huan was at a disadvantage from the beginning.
The situation... Fortunately, there is Xia Houyuan, making Mrs. Huan more or less invincible. Other than that, there is no advantage at all.
"Mrs. Huan, I want to use your name to recruit talents for the Fifth Young Master."
"My name?"
Li Ru smiled and said: "Master, don't underestimate your reputation. Even though you are a white man now, your reputation as Cao Babai is not in vain. Your merits and talents have been recognized by many people.
Otherwise, how could the Qingliu celebrities remain indifferent to your duel with Fu Wan this time? If those idiots like Kong Rong stood up and said a word for Fu Wan, your situation would definitely become very dangerous.
Four months' fine?
That’s a minor offense, and it may even lead to the whole family being raped, and even the parents will be implicated.”
Cao Peng was startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Looking back, it was indeed a bit of a fluke.
The silence of Kong Rong and others at that time undoubtedly had a huge impact on the Han Emperor. The Han Emperor dragged on the case and refused to give up. In fact, he was just waiting for the famous celebrities to come forward and create public opinion, so that he could easily
Stand on the moral high ground.
Who knew that Kong Rong and others were mute!
Many arrangements could not be implemented smoothly in the end.
Delaying this would do no good to the Han Emperor. In desperation, the Han Emperor had no choice but to make concessions...
To be honest, before this, Cao Peng didn't have a good impression of Kong Rong and others. He always felt that they were a bunch of guys who ruined the country with their idle talk. He respected the knowledge of Kong Rong and others, but he didn't like their characters very much. But
Listening to Li Ru's analysis, Cao Peng realized for the first time the importance of people like Kong Rong! Damn, what people like Kong Rong represent, isn't it the direction of public opinion for future generations?
In this era, there were no newspapers.
Therefore, the direction of public opinion is completely controlled by Qingliu.
After Cao Peng had a conversation with Li Ru, he made a new judgment on Kong Rong's position.
Historically, this guy was eventually killed by Cao Cao because he offended Cao Cao. This was also a major reason why Cao Cao was criticized in later generations.
Li Ru said with a smile: "If you can control people like Kong Rong, you will be able to do anything to your disadvantage."
Get it under control?
In fact, it is not impossible.
In future generations, this group of people will be a bunch of angry youths.
As long as their speech can be controlled within a certain category, it will definitely have a huge effect.
However, the conditions are not yet mature yet. Let's take action when the time is ripe... Before that, it is undoubtedly important to have a good relationship with people like Kong Rong. After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Peng finally decided that he should go to Kong Rong.
I'm going to visit my house.
Of course, it is not easy to visit Kong Rong.
As a representative of Qingliu, Kong Rong is not something you can just see.
This visit must have some title, and it must be reasonable. Cao Peng sat in the study and pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the "Three Character Classic" that Ke had just written. Whether it was a matter of asking for advice or asking for directions, let this
The "Three Character Classic" can be used as a stepping stone.
Three Characters took a month to compile completely. The full text has a total of 1,722 words, which is consistent with the original text.
But the content will definitely be different. Cao Peng made some changes based on the situation of this era. For example, in the original text, "Dou Yanshan, who has righteous prescriptions, taught the five sons, and became famous" became "Shu Shenjun, for the four
The elder had eight sons, all of whom became dragons. It refers to Xun Yu's grandfather, Xun Shu, one of the four chiefs of Yingchuan at that time. Xun Shu had a reputation as a "divine monarch" in her early years, so Shu, the divine monarch, was appropriate.
Xun Shu had eight sons, who were called Eight Dragons at that time.
Compared with ‘Dou Yanshan’, there is still a lot to be gained...
More importantly, Cao Peng hoped to show his favor to Xun Yu in this way.
It is undeniable that during the conflict between Cao Peng and Fu Wan, Xun Yu seemed to enforce the law impartially, but he still tended to be a little biased towards Fu Wan. As a result, his relationship with the Cao family naturally became a little more distant. This point has become clear since Cao Peng was
Some clues can be seen from one assassination case.
Logically speaking, when Cao Peng was assassinated, Xun Yu should come to visit him.
Xun Yu had a good relationship with Deng Ji, and had been supportive of Cao Peng before. However, Cao Peng was assassinated, and even the new magistrate of Xu County, Sima Lang, came to visit, but Xun Yu never showed up. Cao Peng didn't want to,
The relationship that was painstakingly cultivated was destroyed because of Fu Wan's incident. After all, in the next twelve years, Xun Yu will play an important role in the Cao Wei Group and cannot be offended easily.
"Someone, bring Hu Ban."
After a while, Hu Ban hurried to Cao Peng's study.
Cao Peng handed the wrapped "Three Character Classic" to Hu Ban along with a copy of the name.
"Give this thing to Kong Rong and Kong Yangzhou."
"Here!"
Looking at Hu Ban's leaving figure, Cao Peng thought to himself: Whether it can be accomplished depends on this...

When he first plagiarized, Cao Peng was ashamed.
When he plagiarized for the second time, Cao Peng was very ashamed.
When he plagiarized for the third time, Cao Peng was very ashamed... The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time... the shame gradually faded away.
As a time-traveling group, if you don’t know how to plagiarize, how can you be called a time-traveling group?
At the end of the story, Cao Peng had no feeling at all. When plagiarism has become a habit, what else can he feel? At least, Cao Peng was numb! Plagiarism once is plagiarism, plagiarism ten times is still plagiarism. But plagiarism a hundred times
A thousand times, a thousand times, that’s called a master!
The sun is shining brightly in the Sikong Mansion Garden.
The garden is full of sweet-scented osmanthus and colorful.
Mrs. Bian walked among the sea of flowers with an extremely relaxed expression.
Although she is more than thirty years old, her charm is still there. No one mentions her experience as a prostitute anymore. However, her experience as a prostitute has given Mrs. Bian a charming style that is different from ordinary people. She has a cold personality, does not like prosperity, and is incompatible with the environment.
Madam is exactly the opposite.
Mrs. Huan is full of vitality, while Mrs. Bian appears calm and graceful.
The two of them have their own merits. I can't say who is good or bad, but they are both very popular with Cao Cao...
The official family seems to be harmonious.
However, secret intrigues are not humane.
Mrs. Bian stopped and said softly: "Guoguo, is the news accurate?"
"Madam, this is indeed the case."
The speaker was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, with a respectful expression.
Her name is Xia Guoguo, originally from Wu County. She came to Qiao County with her family in her early years. Her parents died. Later, she was taken in by Madam Bian and became the most considerate maid around Madam Bian.
Mrs. Bian said: "Cangshu is very smart and really needs someone to teach him.
I'm not saying that Cao Peng is not suitable. He is a nephew of the Sikong clan, loyal to Sikong, and has a reputation for talent. However, he seems to be only seventeen years old this year, which is three years older than Zi Heng. Let him
Would it be inappropriate to teach Cang Shu?"
After Xia Guoguo listened, how could she not understand what Mrs. Bian meant.
"From my little maid's point of view, it must be inappropriate."
"Well, but Cang Shu is Xiaohuan's son, I can't say anything. Anyway, it's better to be cautious and don't delay Cang Shu..."
"My maid understands!"
Xia Guoguo supported Mrs. Bian and agreed respectfully.
"Go back, I'm tired!"

This is a war without smoke, but better than fighting with real swords and guns.
Mrs. Huan's meaning is very clear. Cao Peng has many connections and is good at learning. He will definitely be an important minister of Cao Cao in the future. Let Cao Chong follow Cao Peng. Although he is just a beginner, he has established a solid teacher-student relationship. With this relationship, he will definitely be able to do so in the future.
It brought a lot of convenience to Cao Chong.
However, what Mrs. Huan can see, Mrs. Bian can also see.
Cao Peng has so many connections!
He is Cao Cao's nephew and one of the Xiaobayi, with a literary name.
He was the son of Dian Wei, who saved the country, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and they were sworn brothers; he had a close relationship with Yingchuan scholars, especially Chen Qun, and it is said that he had a very good relationship; he was a disciple of Hu Zhao, so he had enough capital.
; He has business dealings with Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren, and has formed a vague alliance; he has a good reputation in Shilin, and has frequent contacts with many generals with foreign surnames; he...
If you don't think carefully, no one will be aware of the power around Cao Peng.
Not to mention that Cao Peng's father, Cao Ji, is now the Prime Minister with a salary of more than two thousand stone, and is also a famous sword maker; his brother-in-law also has the ability to rule alone, and has a friendship with Guo Jia. In just a short time
In four years, Cao Peng has gradually developed into a climate.
Mrs. Bian began to regret that she seemed to have ignored Cao Peng's existence before.
But there is no use regretting it. In this case, I will definitely not let Cao Peng and Cang Shu form a relationship...
In short, Cao Peng is the kind of master who gets shot while lying down.
He practiced the Wu Qin Xi taught to him by Hua Tuo every day at home, and at the same time he did not fall behind in the Seven Changes of ***.
When I have nothing to do, I read books and practice calligraphy, and my life is quite leisurely.
But outside, there was already a stormy sea.
As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Xudu naturally brought together the world's elites, and countless well-known scholars gathered in Xudu.
The fifth young master wants to find a teacher?
This is a good thing!
What, let Cao Peng be the teacher of the Fifth Young Master?
How is this possible? Cao Peng only wrote a few articles and poems. I have never heard of him writing any classics, let alone any masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Besides, Cao Peng was only ten years old this year. He is seven years old, what does he know? Does he know what the way of governing a country is and what the ancient style is? Of course, it cannot be denied that Cao Peng is also talented and learned, but he must not be a teacher.
Kong Rong, among others, also expressed strong opposition.
Cao Cao is coming back!
The Battle of Guandu has come to a successful conclusion.
After Yuan Shao retreated across the river, he reunited with Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and his nephew Gao Gan. In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's army was almost wiped out... More than 200,000 troops were lost on the south bank of the river. They suffered heavy losses and were severely weakened. However, , Hebei has a large population, and Yuan Shao still has the strength to fight. After he returned to Hebei, he ordered his troops to recuperate and prepare for another decisive battle with Cao Cao.
However, after the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng was ordered to die by Yuan Shao.
After Jushu was captured by Cao Cao, he refused to surrender and was eventually beheaded by Cao Cao in Yanjin...
Although Cao Cao won a great victory, he was no longer able to attack. He needed to digest this great victory, and at the same time, he also needed to rest his troops.
In September of the fifth year of Jian'an, two months after the end of the Guandu War, Cao Cao's troops returned to Xudu.
"How can Cao You learn so much, how can he be a teacher?"
In the streets and alleys of Xudu, people were talking a lot.
The focus of the topic is still on whether Cao Peng is qualified to serve as Cao Chong's teacher.
Mrs. Huan did not let anyone stop her, but just watched with cold eyes. When the argument started, she realized the mystery hidden in it.
There must be someone behind this controversy.
Originally, it was just enlightenment. How could there be such a big controversy?
Enlightenment is different from formal teaching. It means teaching some of the most superficial things... literacy, writing, and being able to master some classics.
In rural private schools, many enlightenment teachers are not well-known at all. Sometimes they can teach just by knowing a few hundred words. To truly receive education, you have to start with "Poetry" and "On the Theory". Generally, at this stage, It takes real talent and practical learning.
If you go one step further, such as "Shangshu", "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Changes", "Historical Records" and so on, the threshold for teachers to teach is even higher.
Mrs. Huan didn't want Cao Peng to teach Cao Chong those advanced things. To put it simply, she actually hoped to find a helper for Cao Chong.
However, things have evolved to this point and are no longer under Mrs. Huan's control.
She could only stand aside and observe quietly, waiting for the development of the situation...
Whether Cao Peng can be a teacher ultimately depends on Cao Cao's attitude. Before that, Mrs. Huan could only stand still...
Kong Rong had a drink at a friend's house and returned home after dark.
Today, we had a great conversation at a friend's house, which put Kong Rong in a very good mood. Normally, he would have gone to bed before Hai hour. But today he was a little excited, and when he got home, he couldn't sleep either, so he simply I came to the study room and wanted to find a book to kill time.
There is a cloth bag on the table.
Kong Rong picked it up doubtfully and asked in a deep voice: "Who sent this?"
"Master forgot? This was a few days ago. Cao Babai sent someone to deliver it... At that time, the master didn't pay attention and just asked the villain to put it aside."
"Cao Babai? Cao Peng?"
Kong Rong was stunned for a moment and seemed to be a little impressed.
A few days ago, Cao Peng had indeed sent this cloth bag, but Kong Rong didn't pay attention at that time, so he just put it on the case.
Over the next few days, he put the incident behind him, almost forgetting it.
If he hadn't eaten too much and couldn't sleep today, he probably wouldn't have noticed it. However, Kong Rong couldn't remember any friendship between him and Cao Peng. He had a good impression of Cao Peng, partly because of Cao Peng's article "
"Eight Hundred Character Essay", on the other hand are the two original "Inscriptions on the Humble Room" and "The Theory of Love and Lotus". More importantly, Cao Peng's teacher was Hu Zhao, and his reputation for talent and learning was not inferior to that of Kong Rong.
It's just that Cao Peng made a big fuss in the General's Mansion...
Kong Rong suddenly remembered that there had been a lot of commotion recently about letting Cao Peng become Cao Chong's teacher.
Could it be that Cao Peng wants my help?
He sneered and threw the cloth bag on the case.
At such a young age, you still dare to be a teacher? You really don’t know the heights of the world!
Kong Rong had no interest in this enlightenment teacher at all. He was like a university professor. If you asked him to teach a kindergarten child, how could he be interested? Sit down, Kong Rong closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and stared.
The cloth bag on the desk...
"Forget it, let me see what you gave me."
Kong Rong looked at Zhuozhou, couldn't help being curious, and untied the cloth bag.
