"Afu, did you go to Liu Ziyu's house?"
In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.
Most of the civil and military ministers present, except for Guo Jia and a few others, stayed in the hall. Gao Shun also came to Cao Cao's study. It seemed as if nothing had happened. He picked up a volume and read it with gusto.
I read it as if I didn't care.
But in reality, how could he not care?
"How is Zhou Bujie's condition?"
"It seems to be a bit troublesome. Doctor Hua and Mr. Zhang Ji are both here, but I guess there won't be any results for a while."
"Fengxiao, what do you mean by Ah Fu?"
Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia smiled slightly and glanced at Gao Shun.
"In my opinion, Youxue wants to keep Zhou Yuanzhi."
"oh?"
Cao Cao also glanced at Gao Shun, and Gao Shun put down the "New Book of Meng De" in his hand.
"Who is Zhou Buyi?"
"A child, somewhat intelligent, but also crazy."
"Is he great?"
Guo Jia laughed and said: "I can't say whether he is great or not. But he is a bit quick-witted and has good eloquence. He criticized Youxue many times last year, but Youxue ignored him. Some time ago, the two of them had another confrontation, and Youxue seemed to
He scolded a bit more harshly, so he has been quite quiet lately.
Otherwise, I don’t know what comments this child will make..."
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and smiled bitterly, but said nothing.
He vaguely guessed Cao Peng's thoughts, but could not make a decision.
Cao Cao initially admired Zhou Bujie.
But with Zhou Buyi's provocations in Xudu one after another, he was more or less unhappy. Moreover, this child's background was quite complicated, and there was a shadow of the imperial party behind him, which also made Cao Cao very unhappy. But Cao Chong liked it.
Cao Cao did not stop him from communicating with Zhou Buyi. On the one hand, he simply ignored Zhou Buyi; on the other hand, he also hoped that Cao Chong could take this opportunity to increase his knowledge.
Presumably, he must have learned a lesson this time!
Ah Fu, do you want to send Zhou Buyi to Lu Han?
It's not impossible.
However, Cao Cao heard that Cao Peng sent his generals Pang Ming, Wang Shuang, and six hundred soldiers to the Bohai Sea, and seemed to be preparing to go to Lu's Han Kingdom.
Cao Cao began to be a little dissatisfied with such a move.
But then I thought about it, there was some unclear relationship between Cao Peng and the Lu family. When he risked his life to send the Lu family overseas, it also illustrates this problem. It is said that the Lu family was a member of the Han Dynasty.
Lord, and Cao Peng... These are some things that Cao Cao accidentally learned from chatting with Gao Shun. At that time, Cao Cao thought it was funny, but he didn't expect that Ah Fu was a romantic type.
There were two wives and three concubines in the family, not to mention, and there seemed to be some confusion with Cai Yan.
Now, another leader of the Lu Han Kingdom has emerged, and he is really a 'wonderful man'.
After thinking this, Cao Cao felt relieved.
Why did Lu's Han Dynasty ask for Cao Peng to be exempted? To put it bluntly, it was the matter of men and women. As for Cao Peng, he would reciprocate love and would definitely think about Lu Han. Lu Han's current pressure is indeed very great. Especially once Lu Han
By agreeing to contain Goguryeo, the threats he would face would inevitably increase. Cao Peng sent helpers to Lu Han, which was more about helping his little lover than having an affair with a foreign country.
As for Zhou Buyi...
Cao Cao hesitated.
To be honest, Zhou Buyi is smart and eloquent.
But is there such a person under Cao Cao? In terms of wit, he is not as good as Guo Jia; in terms of ability, he is not as good as Xun You; in terms of calmness, he is not as good as Xun Yu; in terms of means, he is not as good as Jia Xu; in terms of loyalty, he is not as good as Cheng Yu
.Not to mention, Cao Cao also has Dong Zhao, Man Chong, Mao Jie, Chen Qun and other capable people, how could he really appreciate Zhou Buyi? He might appreciate Zhou Buyi's intelligence, but he never thought about it.
, he will be reused one day. Even if Zhou Buyi’s background is good, Cao Cao doesn’t take him seriously.
He stood up and walked out of the study.
Guo Jia followed Cao Cao out very knowingly, and the two stopped at the corner of the porch.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
"That depends on the master, whether he wants to deal with Zhou Buji."
"What to do with him? I'm afraid a child doesn't have such thoughtful thoughts. I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with him."
"I'm afraid Ah Fu thinks so too."
"But let him go like this?"
Cao Cao felt a little reluctant.
"This depends on whether the master is ready."
What to prepare for?
Of course, he is preparing to fall out with the imperialists.
Historically, after Cao Cao was deposed in the 19th year of Jian'an, he completely turned against the imperial party. But if you think about it carefully, you will find the strength comparison between Cao Cao and the imperial party when they completely turned against each other. Cao Cao was historically the 12th year of Jian'an
The Prime Minister's Office was established in 1988, and then the Battle of Chibi was launched. After the failure of Chibi, he issued a meritocracy order, and in just five years, he issued three meritocracy orders, making his wings fully full. With the help of the Western Expedition to Liang
Prefecture, attacking Hanzhong, Cao Cao's power became more and more astonishing. In the 19th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was already the king of Wei. It can be said that the situation in the north was firmly under his control, and no one could compete with him...
And Xun Yu, who was leaning towards the Han Emperor, or was an ally of the Han Emperor, and was also a minister of Cao Cao, was already dead.
The strength of the imperial party has fallen to the bottom, and Cao Cao's power is at its peak. Under such circumstances, Cao Cao took the step of deposing the emperor.
Now, although Cao Cao is strong, he has also captured the northwest.
But his power has not yet been truly established.
From serving the emperor to order the princes, to holding the emperor to order the princes, there is a very obvious watershed, and that is the establishment of the Prime Minister's Office.
Cao Cao is not yet ready to completely break up with the imperialists.
Guo Jia smiled slightly, "When something like this happens, someone always has to take the blame. Zhou Buyi may be innocent, but he must bear this crime now. Otherwise, my lord, you will only... If Zhou Buyi dies, everything will
It's easy to say. If he is alive, how will my lord punish him? This matter involves Gao Sima, and it is even more related to Lu Han's attitude. Why doesn't my lord just go with the flow?"
Don't interfere in this matter!
Leave it to Gao Shun to deal with...
Judging from Cao Peng's intention, he was determined to protect Zhou.
He may not have intended to give Zhou Buji to Gao Shun, but he did not hinder it and let Gao Shun come forward to solve the problem.
If Gao Shun is willing to accept it, it will be easy to talk about; if he is unwilling to accept it, Cao Peng will not have any objections and everyone will be happy.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Unless my lord has some pity for the talented people."
When Cao Cao heard this, he snorted coldly.
"How can Xiao Kuangsheng make me feel pity for the talented person?
If it were Ah Fu who was fifteen years old, I don't think I would feel pity for him. But compared to Ah Fu, this little crazy boy is obviously a world of difference."
"Then leave it to Gao Sima, and you can also express your lord's intentions to Lu Han."
Cao Cao thought for a while and nodded slightly.
Fifteen-year-old Cao Peng, following Deng Ji, had created a situation in Haixi. He also followed Xun Yan as an envoy to Jiangdong, and also gained the attention of Chen Deng.
Chen Deng died in the fifth year of Jian'an. At that time, Cao Peng was punished to shut up and reflect on his mistakes.
When Cao Peng was sixteen, he presided over the Battle of Quyang.
He fought against the armies of Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and finally won a complete victory...
Cao Peng, who was fifteen years old, made an inscription on a humble house and composed a poem in seven steps in Dongling Pavilion, which was praised by Xuzhou scholars.
Fifteen-year-old Cao Peng has a wide range of friends.
Not only was he valued by people like Xun Yan and Chen Deng, but he was also friendly with Chen Qun, Xu Xuan, Chen Jiao and others. He also had good officials like Bu Zhi by his side.
So no matter how you look at it, Zhou Buyi cannot compare to Cao Peng.
Cao Cao may have pity for talents, but he is definitely not a person like Zhou Buyi. If you think about how he dealt with Mi Heng back then, you can see the clues.
"If the child has a good life and can survive, he will be handed over to Gao Shun."
"My lord is wise!"
Cao Cao laughed and strolled towards the study with his hands behind his back.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, what do you think Ah Fu will say to Liu Ziyu?"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In Linyi Marquis Mansion, Cao Peng knelt on the couch and looked at Liu Guang without saying a word.
Speaking of which, Liu Guang and Cao Peng were about the same age, but they seemed to be much older than Cao Peng, so much so that they seemed to be in their thirties.
The thin cheeks have sharp edges and corners, like a knife cutting an axe.
Thick eyebrows, bright eyes, as bright as the stars. A high nose bridge, adding to the heroic spirit. A short beard under the chin makes him look calm and capable. Wearing a black robe draped around him, Liu Guang sat upright with a smile on his face.
On the couch, no words were spoken either.
The two of them just looked at me and I looked at you.
After a while, Cao Peng suddenly said: "Liu Ziyu, do you still remember the first time we met?"
"ah?"
"In the second year of Jian'an, I first arrived in Xudu.
At that time, you won the dog fight with my third brother, and I used a knife to hit my third brother's black dragon."
Liu Guang was startled and showed a look of nostalgia. He closed his eyes and said to himself after a long time: "It was too long ago, but it has become blurry!"
"Is it blurry?"
Cao Peng sneered, "Then do you still remember how I met you in Beishi before I left Xudu?"
"Can not remember."
"But I remember." Cao Peng looked at Liu Guang and said word for word: "I still remember that at that time, a young man... he seemed to be fifteen years old. He stopped me under a restaurant in Bei City and asked me
I said: Can we be friends? But I didn’t answer at the time.”
Fifteen!
When Liu Guang heard these three words, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
His face twitched a little, but he didn't open his eyes.
Isn’t the fifteen-year-old boy Cao Peng was talking about Liu Guang?
At that time, Liu Guang had just arrived in Xudu from Chang'an. He was eager to make friends, so there was such a scene.
Cao Peng stood up and said, "I think I have the answer to that question ten years ago. Marquis of Linyi, do you want to hear it?"
"Ha, I'd love to hear the details."
Cao Peng pointed at himself with his thumb, "My surname is Cao."
Then, he pointed at Liu Guang with his index finger, "Your surname is Liu."
"how?"
"So, you and I can never be friends."
Liu Guang's body was trembling slightly in his large cotton robe.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "That's it, I understand."
"One more thing."
"Please say."
"Man is doing it, God is watching... tomorrow's result is today's cause.
Marquis of Linyi, please take care of yourself. Be careful when eating in the future... I heard that you already have a child, so you should be more careful.
Farewell!"
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he turned and left.
Liu Guang's expression changed, he stood up and said sternly: "Cao Youxue, you don't have any personal grudges, why bother your heirs?"
Cao Peng stopped at the door of the hall and said quietly after a while: "It is precisely because it is not a personal grudge that I can talk to you calmly.
Otherwise, how can you be here to talk to me?"
After saying that, Cao Peng strode out of the hall and walked away.
Liu Guang clenched his fists subconsciously.
He wanted to give an order to keep Cao Peng in the mansion. But he knew that even if this was the Linyi Marquis' mansion, his every move would not escape Cao Cao's eyes.
"Why is a pariah like this?"
Cao Peng had already walked down the steps and turned to look at Liu Guang doubtfully, "Liu Ziyu, how much more noble can you be than him?"
Liu Guang's face was as gloomy as water...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was already past midnight when I walked out of the Linyi Marquis Mansion.
The temperature became colder and colder, and a light wind came, which made Cao Peng shiver.
"Boren, why are you here?"
Cao Peng was surprised to see Xia Houshang holding his horse outside the Linyi Marquis Mansion and looking at him with a smile.
"I'm worried that Xiaozhen will be widowed."
"Ha, you are really good at joking... Xudu is still under the rule of the imperial court. How can you dare to take my life? Those people are just showing off their cleverness and playing some conspiracies. I have my own way with this bright world.
The majestic spirit will last forever, and the evil will not be invaded."
Cao Peng's voice was so loud that it could be clearly heard in the Linyi Marquis Mansion.
If Cao Pengshang had any friendship with Liu Guang when Leng Fei assassinated him, then now, the two of them have no friendship at all.
The timid young man who lived on the streets of Bei City in the past has died.
The only person alive today is an insidious person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
Cao Peng took the reins from Xia Houshang, turned over and sat on the horse, "There is a rotten smell of conspiracy in the air here. I don't want to come here again. Unless I can set a fire to stop this rotten smell."
The smell has completely dissipated... Let's go back."
When Xia Houshang heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
The two men beat their horses and whipped their whips with great arrogance. A group of soldiers, following closely behind them, galloped towards the direction of Tongtuo Alley.
The door of Linyi Marquis Mansion slowly closed.
When we returned to Tongtuo Lane, it was already late at night.
When Cao Peng and Xia Houshang walked into the courtyard, they saw Ma Zhen and Zhang Ji coming out.
"Mr. Zhang, how is the situation?"
"There is no danger of life."
"Alive?"
"Haha, there is Yuan Hua here, just a viola, what can be done?
However, it is indeed a bit dangerous. If you burn a stick of incense at night, the child will definitely die. I don’t know who is so cruel and ruthless."
"They are all shady rats."
Cao Peng said, thanked Zhang Ji with his hands, and then asked Xiahou Shang to send someone to escort Zhang Zhongjing home. He walked into the side room directly, only to see Hua Tuo cleaning up. Zhou Buyi was lying on the couch with a pale face, still unconscious.
Not awake. However, the breath is much longer.
"Mr. Hua, thank you very much."
Hua Tuo smiled slightly, cleaned his hands, turned to look at Zhou Buyi, who was still unconscious, and said softly: "Although the danger has passed, it still depends on the situation in the future... This kid has a good life. Fortunately, he met Zhou Buyi.
When it comes to you, someone else might not care about his life or death."
Cao Peng said nothing, his eyes fell on Zhou Buyi, and he remained silent for a long time...
