On the third day of October in the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao returned in triumph.
The victory in the Battle of Guandu allowed Cao Cao to secure his position as the overlord of Henan, and there were faint signs of catching up with Yuan Shao. At this time, no one was clamoring for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to jointly control the government. Cao Cao used a great victory
, proving that he is hundreds of times stronger than Yuan Shao.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty led hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him.
Cao Cao dismounted and bowed to Liu Xie, creating a harmonious drama of mutual understanding between the king and his ministers.
In fact, when Cao Cao won a great victory in Guandu, the person who was most disappointed was not Yuan Shao, but Han Emperor Liu Xie. He originally expected Yuan Shao to defeat Cao Cao, but then he stood up in the name of the emperor of the Han family and turned the tide... He
I hope that Yuan Shao will win, but I don’t want Cao Cao. Only when Cao Cao is alive can he check Yuan Shao, and after the tragic victory, Yuan Shao will be severely damaged. By then, Liu Xie will be able to take back the power in their hands... only
It's a pity that Liu Xie's little plan ended up being nothing more than drawing water from a bamboo basket!
Yuan Shao, shortcomings and strategies!
This is also the strongest feeling in Liu Xie's heart.
I miss you Yuan Shao, who controlled four states, had millions of soldiers under his command, abundant money and food, and a large population. However, Cao Cao defeated him and almost wiped out his entire army.
This kind of person is no different from trash.
At least in Liu Xie's mind, Yuan Shao's status plummeted.
However, Liu Xie could not give up just yet.
Before welcoming Cao Cao and returning his promise, he had already issued an edict to confer Cao Cao with the rank of Grand Tutor.
Cao Cao already worshiped Sikong and was one of the Three Dukes. As for the Taifu, he was above the Three Dukes and was responsible for the responsibility of persuading the emperor to do good things and had no daily affairs.
Presumably, Yuan Shao would feel very uncomfortable when he heard the news!
The emperor issued an edict, and according to the rules, Cao Cao had to resign three times before he could formally accept it.
But the title of Taifu is already guaranteed. To Cao Cao, it doesn't matter whether Taifu is not very good, the key is the issue of face.
Later generations often say that Cao Cao likes to have his tail raised.
After the great victory in Guandu, Cao Cao's little tail wanted to curl up again...
After entering the city, there was some complicated etiquette.
That night, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty held a banquet to celebrate Cao Cao's victory in the Jinluan Palace. All civil and military officials attended. Liu Xie only showed up once and then left. He felt uncomfortable and had no choice but to celebrate Cao Cao's victory. But
It is absolutely impossible for him to accompany you all the time.
After Liu Xie left the stage, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax.
"My lords, my lords, please listen to a certain statement."
Cao Cao suddenly spoke loudly, and everyone in the hall immediately stopped talking.
"I have a private matter that I would like to discuss with you.
My fifth son is already five years old and is just beginning his education. But this gentleman is not easy to ask for. I wonder if you have any good suggestions for this?"
Previously, Mrs. Huan had sent letters many times to express her thoughts.
She hoped that Cao Peng would enlighten Cao Chong.
However, Cao Cao was busy with the war at the time, so he did not make a decision. Moreover, he did not know how to decide the matter... Cao Peng was a good candidate. In any case, Cao Cao was loyal to Cao Peng and admired Cao Peng's talents and learning.
I also appreciate it very much. But as Mrs. Bian said, the biggest problem with Cao Peng is his age. As for his official position, to be honest, it is nothing...
The current focus of debate is precisely Cao Peng's age.
It's not that Cao Cao doesn't know Mrs. Huan's thoughts.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with Mrs. Huan. The children under his knees were all still young, the oldest was only fourteen years old, so it was too early to establish a direct heir. Cao Cao himself also loved Cao Chong very much, and naturally hoped that there would be someone in the future.
Support Cao Chong, help Cao Chong.
As for whether to establish Cao Chong as his direct successor, Cao Cao did not consider it.
He is in his prime, so it is too early to consider this issue... Besides, even if he helps Cao Chong, it does not mean that he must establish Cao Chong as his heir.
But the problem is, he doesn't want to establish a direct heir, but his family doesn't think so.
Cao Cao talked to Guo Jia several times, but Guo Jia never expressed his opinion. Therefore, Cao Cao raised this matter at the celebration banquet because he wanted to hear everyone's opinions. However, when Cao Cao raised this issue
At that time, the hall was completely silent.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was willing to speak.
Originally, this is your Lao Cao's family matter, why do you need to bring it up and ask us?
This involves a question of siding with one another...if you sally with the wrong team, someone will die.
"I guess Sikong also heard the rumors." Since Cao Cao had spoken, he would definitely not answer. Therefore, a pair of eyes fell on the former Taiwei Yang Biao. Yang Biao is also a white man now, but he has
Therefore, he was also invited to the banquet today. "There are rumors that Sikong intends to invite Cao Youxue to be the Enlightenment Master, but it may be a rumor. It's not that Cao Youxue is not bad, his character is not bad, but he is a little younger. If he is older,
At what age, he must be the most suitable candidate, but now, there may be something wrong."
"Yes, Cao Babai is very talented, but he's just too young!"
"Well, Cao Peng does have real talent and knowledge, but his temper can't help but be impulsive... It may not be appropriate for him to be responsible."
Whether it is out of good intentions or with ulterior motives, when someone speaks, others will naturally follow and talk about it...
This topic mainly revolves around Cao Peng's age. Of course, there are some people who are quite dissatisfied with Cao Peng because he made a big fuss in the auxiliary general's palace. Taking this opportunity, they don't mind stepping on it. Although it may not be possible.
The effect is, but it can make Cao Peng sick.
Everyone was talking a lot, and Cao Cao listened attentively.
Privately, he also felt that Cao Peng was a bit young...
But I also feel that enlightenment is just about reading and literacy. What does age have to do with it?
"Wenju, why don't you speak?"
Cao Cao's eyes fell on Kong Rong after looking around at everyone in the palace.
Normally, he is a talkative person, but today for some unknown reason, he remained silent.
When Cao Cao called his name, Kong Rong coughed and stood up. Previously, Yang Biao did not stand up when he answered. And what Cao Cao asked was a private matter, so when everyone talked, they always sat down to talk.
Kong Rong suddenly stood up so solemnly, and everyone couldn't help but be startled. Kong Rong was not an ordinary person. His reputation was so great that he could be regarded as a representative of the elite.
Does he have any intention of standing up like this?
Cao Cao was also stunned!
On weekdays, Kong Rong was the most informal. He was free and easy at best, and wild at worst.
When talking to Cao Cao, he rarely showed such a solemn attitude. Cao Cao couldn't help but be curious and wanted to hear what Kong Rong had to say.
Kong Rong walked around the wine table and walked to the center of the hall.
I saw him, straightening his virtuous crown, shaking his clothes, taking two steps forward, "Rong Zhengyu is Sikong Juxian."
"Juxian?"
"Some time ago, Rong got a strange book and would like to dedicate it to Sikong."
As he spoke, Kong Rong took out a book from his arms and raised his hands above his head.
"Yue is also willing to promote talents for Sikong."
"Xun Yu is willing to promote talents for Sikong..."
"Chen Ji please recommend talents to Sikong."
Whoops, seven or eight people stood up at once.
And the content is actually the same.
Cao Cao looked at everyone in shock and was a little confused.
"Wenju, what are you..."
"Sikong Ke will naturally understand it after reading this "Three Character Classic" first."
Cao Cao stepped forward and took the book from Kong Rong's hand.
The book is a thin book, not thick. The three words "Three Character Classic" are written in Feibai cursive script on the cover, and it is signed by none other than Cao Peng.
My family, Wanlihou, has another new work?
Cao Cao couldn't help but be curious and opened the cover page.
"At the beginning of human beings, their nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far away... One is ten, ten is hundreds. Hundreds are thousands, thousands are ten thousand... They are called spring and summer, and they are called autumn and winter. These four seasons have endless luck... Born from the earth
, there are grass and trees. These plants are all over the water and land. There are insects, fish, birds and beasts. This animal can fly away... The order of growth, friends and friends. The king is respectful, and the minister is loyal. These ten righteousnesses are the same for everyone...
…”
At first, Cao Cao just chanted in a low voice.
But as he continued reading, the voice gradually became louder and echoed over the hall.
A group of three words, a sentence of six words, simple and clear, but profound. The most important thing is that these words are catchy and rhythmic. After reading it once, Cao Cao actually memorized hundreds of words.
.There has never been such an article since ancient times.
Cao Cao began to understand why Kong Rong called it "Qi Wen".
"This article is comparable only to Youxue's 800-character essay."
Cao Cao couldn't help but praise loudly, but after he finished speaking, he thought again, wasn't this article written by Cao Peng?
"Wenju, you guys..."
"A few days ago, Cao Peng ordered someone to send this book, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time, so I just threw it aside.
It wasn't until there was a rumor in the market that Cao Peng wanted to be the mentor of the Fifth Young Master, that I remembered this book, so I picked it up and read it. But...
Rong believes that friends who are knowledgeable, talented and thoughtful can be teachers to others.
This article in the "Three Character Classic" makes all other articles eclipse. I have read this book and interviewed many sages, and they all think that this article can be passed down through the ages."
In the main hall, there were all the sounds of gasping for air.
Cao Cao did not speak, but returned to his couch and read it again.
He suddenly laughed!
"This article is so sublime that it cannot be taken for granted."
He found that the people who spoke out, either themselves or their ancestors, were all mentioned in the article.
For example, Kong Rong said, "If you are four years old, you can make pears"...
For example, Xun Yu, Xun Yue, and "Shu Shenjun, not four long"...
The more Cao Cao looked at it, the more interesting he found it. Looking behind it, he also discovered the deeds of his ancestor Cao Shen, which made Cao Cao laugh heartily.
This friend is indeed smart.
He wrote such a book, how can anyone who is mentioned, whether it is himself or future generations, ignore it?
If nothing else, these people will definitely work hard to promote it.
Aren’t you saying that I am young and not qualified enough? I am responding to your doubts with such an article to see if you have anything else to say. Unless you want to deny yourself or the deeds of your ancestors. Otherwise, just
I will definitely agree...
Cao Peng's stubborn look seemed to appear in front of Cao Cao again.
When the Jujube troops were withdrawn, Cao Peng suggested that Cao Cao evacuate the Jujube people together. At that time, Cao Cao did not agree, and Cao Peng actually knelt in the government office lobby for most of the night, which finally made Cao Cao change his mind. But as a result, Cao Cao gained an unexpected reward.
reward.
The people who retreated from Jujube were grateful to Cao Cao.
So when Yuan Shao's troops came to Guandu, the local people gave Cao Cao great support.
public opinion, public opinion...
The Battle of Guandu was certainly a victory for Cao Cao's strategic planning, but it was also a victory for the people.
"The water that carries the boat will also capsize it" seems to clearly express Cao Peng's point of view. This kid is going to be in the limelight again this time!
Cao Cao even believed that when this "Three Character Classic" comes out, it will be quickly popularized and will even replace the "Cangjie Book" since the Qin and Han Dynasties and become the most popular enlightenment reading in the future. Because this book almost covers everything under the sun.
of aristocratic families.
There is Zheng Xuan, there is Lu Wan, there is Cui Ye...
In this "Three Character Classic", Cao Peng gave enough benefits to those aristocratic families.
For these benefits, they must also compete to promote.
In fact, Cao Cao guessed wrong.
When Cao Peng gave the book to Kong Rong, there was no news that Mrs. Huan wanted to ask him to be Cao Peng's teacher. The reason why he gave it to Kong Rong was in the hope of getting closer to Kong Rong so that he could control it in the future.
Follow the guidance of public opinion. These three-character classics are a stepping stone for Cao Peng to join Qingliu. If you want to get the support of the entire Qingliu, just a few articles are not enough, and you need a broad network of contacts...
However, the appearance of this "Three Character Classic" was enough to put an end to everyone's discussion.
Can a person who can write such a "beautiful" enlightenment book still be regarded as an enlightenment gentleman?
Just imagine, more than ten years later, when people all over the world are trying out the "Three Character Classic" and "The Eight Hundred Character Essay", the author of the past was not even qualified as an enlightenment teacher, and was considered inappropriate by everyone.
Wouldn't that be the biggest mockery to everyone here?
Cao Cao raised his head and said, "So, is it appropriate for you to learn?"
"Deserve it!"
Xun Yue said even louder: "If Cao Youxue cannot do it, then no one in the world can do it."
Nonsense, to deny Cao Peng at this time is to deny the "Three Character Classic"; to deny the "Three Character Classic" is to deny Xun Shu...
Not to mention Xun Yue, even Xun Yu, who has always been steady, showed determination.
The intention was clearly to say to Cao Cao: If you don't let Cao Peng be your son's first teacher, I will fight with you!
Cao Cao looked at everyone and looked up to the sky laughing.
This "Three Character Classic" is not only the glory of Cao Peng, but also the supreme glory of Cao Cao and even the entire Cao family...
"In that case, let's follow what you guys say."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the "Three Character Classic" spread throughout the streets of Xudu almost overnight.
When you chat, if you don't say a few words about the "Three Character Classic", you will be embarrassed to say that you are a scholar. Moreover, with the promotion of the major families in Yingchuan, the contents of the "Three Character Classic" spread more quickly to the outside world. Even famous people
The Yingchuan Academy in Yingchuan is also preparing to change its curriculum and officially introduce the "Three Character Classic" and "The Eight Hundred Character Classic". For no other reason than because these two articles are too classic.
Xiangyang, Shuijing Villa.
Sima Decao looked at Huang Chengyan helplessly.
Being both an academy and Shuijing Villa, he was naturally able to learn the contents of the Three Character Classic immediately.
Looking at Huang Chengyan with a look of shame on his face, Sima Hui couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chengyan, Mr. De and I underestimated your son-in-law back then."
Huang Chengyan twirled his long beard with his hands, although he pretended to be calm.
But from his eyebrows, you can still see his pride...
Fragrant for nine years, it can warm the mat. Filial piety to relatives is what you should do!
I, the Huang family of Jiangxia, can also compete with famous people from the Central Plains...
