Chapter 342 One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers
"Student Cao Chong, meet the teacher."
In the hall of Cao Mansion, Cao Chong saluted Cao Peng with a sweet voice, finally completing the last step of apprenticeship.
Cao Peng smiled and stepped forward to hug Cao Chong. Speaking of which, Cao Chong really didn't look like Cao Cao. He seemed more like his mother, Mrs. Huan.
Although he is still a little boy, he has very handsome features and will definitely be a handsome man in the future.
Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan stood in the hall, also showing bright smiles...

Cao Peng underestimated the power of his "Three Character Classic"!
Unlike the original Three-Character Classic in history, the Three-Character Classic written by Cao Peng has reduced a large amount of historical content. There is no way, it is less than the original Three-Character Classic with more than a thousand years of precipitation, and it is definitely impossible not to reduce it. Fortunately, Huang Yueying's
His knowledge was not bad, and with the help of Kan Ze, Cao Peng made the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States, Qin, Chu and Han Dynasties more detailed on the original basis, and finally solved some problems. But even so, it was still several hundred short of the original text.
Words... At this time, Li Ru gave Cao Peng an idea.
Add content about famous families!
At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, the status of aristocratic families had become prominent.
In the entire society, those children of famous families occupy a dominant position in society. Although there are also poor scholars emerging, their influence is far less than that of those famous families. Li Ru believes that Cao Peng can take this opportunity to
Build good relations with those famous families.
After experiencing the rise and fall of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was well aware of the power of the family.
It is not possible to completely rely on the family, but it is also impossible to completely eradicate the family.
It is necessary to find a balance between the two, that is, to be accepted by the family, but also to be independent from this social group.
After all, there is no absolute fairness in this world.
Some people are born into aristocratic families, while others are struggling at the bottom of society.
Li Ru said: "You can dislike the children of aristocratic families, but you cannot be rejected by them. In that case, it will be difficult to move forward.
Those aristocratic families have huge influence. If you can make good friends with them, it will be of great benefit to the young master.
Just from the incident of Fu Wan, we can see that if a wealthy family came forward to impeach the young master at that time, even Cao Sikong would not be able to fully protect him."
In his heart, Cao Peng hated wealthy families.
But he had to admit that it was too difficult to eliminate these wealthy families!
Even the Huangchao riot in the late Tang Dynasty almost killed all the aristocratic families. However, after the disaster, those aristocratic families reappeared as big landowners with their profound knowledge. After that, their roles continued to change, including academic factions, financial groups...
Names like this are constantly changing, but aristocratic families have never died out. Elites from aristocratic families will continue to emerge in every dynasty.
After five years of rebirth, Cao Peng had a profound understanding of the family.
The real children of the family are not arrogant or domineering, but live in a restrained way and a low profile...
The so-called 'second generation' of later generations, it seems now, are just a group of children of the nouveau riche.
The children of the aristocratic family have the dignity and pride of the children of the aristocratic family, but if you don't have real contact, you won't be able to feel the mystery.
Li Ru's idea is to make good friends with aristocratic families through the Three Character Classic!
In every family, there are always some outstanding, respected and famous people.
For example, Xun Shu from the Xun family in Yingchuan, Zhong Hao from the Zhong family, Chen Shi from the Chen family; Zheng Xuan from the Zheng family in Xingyang; Li Mu from the Li family in Zhaojun, etc.
Gold, silver, money and silk cannot be valued by the children of aristocratic families.
But if the honor of the ancestors can be extended to the world and known to the world, it will definitely be an incredible kindness to the children of the aristocratic family.
Just imagine, when the streets and alleys are singing the nursery rhyme "Shu Shenjun is the four elders. There are eight sons, all of them will become dragons", isn't it a shame that his ancestors are not among them? Cao Peng didn't even think of it.
In just one month, the "Three Character Classic" has become a benchmark for a famous family. Some people say that if it is not listed in the "Three Character Classic", it is not considered a famous family.
It can be seen from this that 1,722 words have had a huge impact on this era.
Mrs. Bian finally died down.
After she read the contents of the Three Character Sutra, she knew that this matter could no longer be stopped.
In the past, Cao Peng could be used as an excuse to attack because he was young and did not have a prominent position in the scholarly community. But now, all excuses have disappeared. Mrs. Bian is a smart person. She knows that if she continues to cause trouble, it will inevitably lead to
There was a huge rebound.
There are some things you need to know when enough is enough.
Mrs. Bian was born into a prostitute and was still favored by Cao Cao even though she was in her thirties. It was because of her words of "enough is enough".
Since you can't stop it, let him go...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Bian felt relieved!
However, when Cao Chong went to Cao Mansion to become a disciple, Mrs. Bian did not go.
She was in Sikong Mansion and ordered someone to find Cao Pi.
"Zihuan, Xiaowu is apprenticed to a disciple today, what do you think?"
Cao Pi always respected Mrs. Bian, so he lowered his hand and replied: "You are a scholar who can learn from others. It is a good thing that Xiao Wu can get his professor."
"Good thing?"
Mrs. Bian sneered.
"It's a good thing to be with Xiao Wu, but I'm afraid it's not a good thing to be with you."
At this time, Cao Pi was only fourteen years old after all.
Although he has experienced many things, he is still immature after all. Today, he is only a half-grown child, far from the ruthlessness and determination that he had when he forced his brothers in history. Hearing Mrs. Bian's words, Cao Pi couldn't help but
He was stunned and looked at Mrs. Bian with some confusion.
Mrs. Bian couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.
Unless she had to, she didn't want to prematurely destroy the beautiful innocence in Cao Pi's heart.
But as the son of Cao Cao, and now the eldest son, if he always maintains this innocence, sooner or later he will end up dead.
Therefore, Mrs. Bian would rather Cao Pi mature earlier.
"I have three sons. Ziwen is good at martial arts and has great arm strength. He has been determined to be a general since he was young.
Xiaosi is good at writing, has an elegant temperament, and likes to interact with literati. In terms of intelligence, your three brothers and Xiaosi are the smartest, but most of the people he comes in contact with are unworthy people. Although he has literary talent, he is a bit frivolous.
, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great things in the future... Among the three of us, your Wen is not as quick-thinking as Xiao Si, and Wu is not as skilled as Zi Wen... However, the one I care about most is you."
Cao Pi's body trembled, his knees bent, and he knelt down and said: "Mother..."
"Zihuan, please listen to what I have to say.
I care about you the most and think highly of you the most, just because you are magnanimous and resemble your father. Previously, your eldest brother died in Wancheng, and your aunt left, and Wei Niang came to power. But you have to know Wei Niang’s origins
, destined to be unable to give you much help, you will still have to rely on yourself more in the future... Although Xiaowu is young, he is as generous as you. Your father loves him very much, and he will make you
He fell into an embarrassing situation. Now, he has Cao Youxue as his teacher... Although it is just an enlightenment, it is of extraordinary significance.
Cao Youxue, I believe you know better than me.
That kid was very lucky, and in just a few years, he made great achievements in battle.
Although he has been demoted and dismissed from office, based on his foundation, he will be reinstated in less than ten years. And your father's trust in him cannot be increased... I have observed him carefully during this period. That child is very thoughtful.
Deep, plan and move...far better than those useless elders in the court. If Xiaowu worships Cao Peng this time, his luck will definitely surpass you in the future, and you will be in danger by then."
Luck is a very illusory thing to say.
But no one can deny that this thing does exist.
Cao Pi is Cao Cao's eldest son, and Cao Chong's luck exceeds his. Doesn't it mean that Cao Chong will be above Cao Pi in the future?
Although Mrs. Bian did not explain what she said, Cao Pi was not a fool. Mrs. Bian said it for this reason, how could he not understand?
There was a flash of light in his eyes.
"Mom, it's not that serious."
Mrs. Bian sneered, "I thought it wasn't that serious, but...
Cao Peng is sitting on 30% of the interests of Haixi, so he does not need to worry about money and silk in this life. The 30% of the interests were rewarded to him by your father. Even if he no longer controls Haixi in the future, as long as he does not make a big mistake, the 30% of the interests will definitely belong to him. He
He has a close relationship with your uncle Zi Lian and your uncle Zi Xiao; Zi Dan is his sworn brother, and sooner or later he will be in charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and become your father's humerus minister...
Now, with the help of a three-character classic, he has gained the name Qingliu.
If this momentum continues, he will become a grandmaster sooner or later... If anyone from aristocratic families is not on good terms with him, they will definitely give him their full support.
If Xiao Wu gets his help, with Cao Youxue's ability and Xiao Wu's luck, do you think you can defeat him if they join forces?"
"this……"
Cao Pi's expression finally changed.
"and……"
"Mother, and what?"
"And I think now, Cao Youxue knows how to survive.
This time, he made a big fuss in the Fuguo General's Mansion and was dismissed from office. It seemed that he had lost his luck. However, it was his sword that made your father trust him even more. Don't think that he lost the title of Yueqi Xiaowei.
In fact, what does a small Yueqi captain mean?
If he rises again in the future, he will surely soar into the sky, and no one will be able to stop him from now on."
Cao Pi was so excited that he shivered.
"Mom, even so, if Xiao Wu really surpasses me in the future, I can also assist him."
Mrs. Bian smiled, "Really?"
She knew her son too well! If it were someone else, she might believe him, but Cao Pi would never be willing to be a submissive to others.
Cao Pi, keep silent.
"Ziwen can assist Xiao Wu, and Xiao Si can also assist Xiao Wu.
You are the only one who can't... Why do you think it is? Because your magnanimity is the same as Xiao Wu's. When your father and Cao Youxue were talking, I sat in with Xiao Huan. At that time, your father was afraid of Yuan Shaoshang, so he once joked,
If there is peace in the world, I am willing to coexist with Yuan Shao.
But do you know how Cao Peng would answer?"
"This...child doesn't know!"
Cao Pi knew that Cao Cao was indeed hesitant before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
But he really didn't know much about the conversation between Cao Cao and Cao Peng...
Mrs. Bian said: "Cao Youxue only said six words at that time, which made your father change his mind."
"What six words?"
"One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers."
Cao Pi's heart trembled and he fell silent again.
He is an ambitious man, and Cao Chong will have great luck in the future.
He is a tiger. Where is Cao Chong? I am afraid he will also be a tiger in the future...
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain!
Cao Pi suddenly turned his head and bowed, "Please teach me, mother."
At this point, there is no point in being secretive anymore.
Since Mrs. Bian found him, she must have a clue. Cao Pi knew that at this time, he really needed his mother's guidance.
"Eight words for me and you."
"Which eight characters?"
"Brothers within, alliances without."
Mrs. Bian took a deep breath and said softly: "Ziwen has military strength and can be a general; Xiaosi has a quick mind and can be a counselor. You are the eldest brother. Now that they are young, you should take good care of them and let them know that you
He is a very qualified good brother."
Fighting tiger brothers!
What Mrs. Bian said is very clear.
Ziwen is Cao Zhang. Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi were born from the same mother. Their relationship is far beyond what others can compare with. Although Cao Chong is also his brother, he must have the same father and mother. If Cao Pi can win over these two
My younger brother is bound to be the best helper.
"Then forming an alliance..."
"Zihuan, you are almost fifteen!"
"yes."
"Xiaowu's apprenticeship today makes me feel a lot of emotion. You should also have a master and study hard and stop running around here and there."
"My child, follow your mother's orders."
Mrs. Bian said: "Now that your father has won a great victory, the world will surely return to its heart.
If there were some people who were on the sidelines before, they are now leaning towards your father... So, I have thought about it for a long time and thought of a gentleman for you."
"I don't know, mother, who is this person talking about?"
"That's the Minister You Cheng, Sima Jiangong."
When Cao Pi heard this, he was immediately shocked.
Sima Jiangong, the father of Sima Fang, Sima Lang and Sima Yi who recommended Cao Cao as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang...
Sima is also from a wealthy family, but Sima Fang... seems to be a little less famous.
However, Cao Pi believed that his mother would never harm him. Since he chose Sima Fang, there must be a reason, but he couldn't guess it.
"I wish to follow my mother's orders."
Cao Pi kowtowed again, but Mrs. Bian's charming face flashed with a hint of coldness.
Xiaohuan, don’t think that you can achieve great things if you get Cao Youxue. The war between the two of us has just begun!

According to the rules, after Cao Chong became a disciple, he had to stay in the Cao Mansion.
Mrs. Huan was a little reluctant to give up, but Cao Cao felt that there was no harm in letting Cao Chong stay in the Cao Mansion.
It was difficult for Madam Huan to guess what Cao Cao was thinking. But since Cao Cao gave the order, Madam Huan was naturally unlikely to object.
However, on the way back, Cao Cao seemed not very interested.
"Sikong, why are you so depressed?"
"I have heard that Yuan Shao has three sons, and they quarreled endlessly just to establish a direct heir. This time I was able to win the victory in Guandu because Yuan Shao's subordinates could not work together and had their own plans. It is a good thing that Cang Shu can get a teacher today.
But...Madam, Yuan Shao's lessons learned from his past mistakes are still before his eyes."
This sentence made Mrs. Huan suddenly break into a cold sweat...
