Outside the city gate, a group of pedestrians dressed as farmers were walking towards the city gate. As soon as they reached the east gate of the city, they were stopped by soldiers and officials on the roadside. These officials waved impatiently.
He waved his hand and said: "This road is blocked, find another way!" These people were led by a short black man, who was dressed simply and looked exactly like an old farmer who had just come out of the countryside.
The old farmer asked with some confusion: "Why is the road blocked? Is it under construction?"
"Go! Go!" The soldiers came up to drive them away. The people behind the old farmer were furious and wanted to scold him, but they were stopped by the old farmer. The old farmer smiled and led everyone to another road, entering Luoyang through the West City Gate.
, walking on the road, the people behind asked: "Situ Gong, why do we have to be bullied by that little official??" Cao Cao said with a smile: "This shows that we are pretending very well. Along the way,
We have seen how much of the real situation there is!”
"Go and see more while you can still see, but you won't be able to see anymore..."
"This...if you want to see it in the future, just walk down. How come you can't see it?"
"In the future, when you come to visit again, they won't show you these things. Just write down everything along the way. When you return to the temple this time, you will have surgery in Liangzhou..."
"Here you go!" the attendant said, still a little hesitant on his face. Looking at his appearance, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything else you don't know about?" The attendant behind him was very young, only sixteen or sixteen years old.
He looked like a seven-year-old, with a childish and white face, and some ignorance in his eyes. He got slightly closer to Cao Cao and asked in a low voice: "Father, won't we also be able to go out on patrol in plain clothes in the future?"
"That's okay, but Zijian, this person often has different opinions due to changes in his status. After I became a Situ and commanded hundreds of officials, how could I have the same opinions as I do now? How could I
Can you see it as clearly as now?"
Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Cao Cao meant at all, so he could only nod.
The group of people returned to the mansion. Cao Cao asked the other officials to go home and rest. These people had been away with Cao Cao for a long time and had not been home for a long time. After hearing Cao Cao's words, they also said goodbye one after another and hurried home, laughing and laughing.
Cao Cao also seemed very happy and went to knock on the door in person. However, after a long time, no one came to open the door. Cao Cao frowned and knocked on the door again.
At this time, a person opened the door with a curse and said impatiently: "No one is home! No one!"
The guy who opened the door had a strange appearance, with a tall build and a yellow beard. He opened the door and was startled when he saw Cao Cao outside. He forced a smile and said with a smile: "Father!!
Are you here?! Where are brothers and the others??" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at him. Cao Zhang didn't dare to move. He stood awkwardly in front of his father with a smile on his face. This guy looked burlier than before.
It's a lot, but what's going on with that face? Did you get into a fight with someone?
Cao Cao thought with some doubts, but he had no words yet. Cao Zhi behind him rushed over first, hugged Cao Zhang, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm back!!" Cao Zhang was overjoyed and gave him a hug, but
Cao Zhi almost died and couldn't breathe. Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him. Then he quickly let go of Cao Zhi. He lowered his head, looked at Cao Zhi in front of him and said, "Silang, what are you doing?"
It’s finally back!”
"Is it fun over there in Kushan? Are there any giant man-eating insects?"
"Never seen..."
Cao Cao ignored this guy and went directly to the study. When he walked to the study, he heard the sound of reading coming from the study. The voice was also childish and milky, but what he was reading was actually "Cui Gong's New Deal", you know, this book can not be easily understood even by the scholars in Taixue. Cao Cao smiled and continued the other party's words and said in a low voice: "Therefore, we should treat overseas According to the plan, Yizhou was established, the governors were distributed, and more shipyards were set up..."
As soon as Cao Cao's voice sounded, there was silence in the study for a long time. Suddenly there was a burst of crying. The little guy rushed out of the study and threw himself into Cao Cao's arms. Cao Cao laughed, hugged the little guy in his arms and said: "Don't cry, you are so old, you are still crying here, you are ashamed but not ashamed!!" Xiao Cao didn't care about this, crying and shouting: "Father! I miss you so much!!"
"Hahaha, I miss you too, don't cry anymore, your fourth brother is here too, don't let him see your joke!"
Cao Cao said, hugged the little guy, entered the study, and sat in Cao Cao's arms. However, little Cao Chong was restless. He stuck his head out, looked around, and said, "Where are the fourth brothers? Where are the others?"
"Why, do you miss him? Haven't you always had trouble with him? We quarrel every day!" Cao Cao said with a smile while stroking his beard.
"I didn't miss him!" Cao Chong said angrily: "He was just wondering if he had been smarter after following his father for so long, and if he was still as stupid as before!!" When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing. At home, he never cared much about the children. He supported whatever the children wanted to do. That's why there were people like Cao Zhang who didn't like studying literature all day long and just wanted to wield swords and guns. There were also people like Cao Zhi who opposed the New Deal. of.
Cao Cao presided over the New Deal, and Cao Zhi opposed it, but Cao Cao didn't care, as long as Cao Zhi could tell the truth.
Cao Chong was a supporter of the New Deal. As his elder brother, Cao Zhi was often speechless by Cao Chong. The relationship between the two was very "bad".
"Ahem..." Cao Zhi, who was standing at the door, cleared his throat. Cao Chong, who was saying bad things about him, heard this and quickly turned his head. When he saw Cao Zhi standing outside the house, he jumped up with a smile and jumped up. He picked up a book from the slip and quickly ran to Cao Zhi. The little man raised the book and said, "Brother, look at the poems I compiled for you!!" Cao Zhi laughed and continued. After passing the book, I picked up the little guy with difficulty and gave him a hard peck on the face. I couldn't help but smile when I saw him making trouble again.
"Where is your second brother? Where is he?"
Cao Cao asked with some displeasure.
"Didn't he greet my father at the East City Gate?" Cao Zhang said in confusion. Only then did Cao Cao understand why the East City Gate refused to let him go. He waved his hand and said, "Call that idiot over here. Also, tell the others, I have returned home. If Situ does not bear the seal, he cannot practice the Dao..." Cao Cao said disdainfully, leaving Cao Zhang to report. After a while, Cao Pi also came back. He was a little angry, walked into the study, and first told Cao Cao After praying and seeing each other, he complained:
"Father, the prince came to greet you with all the officials, how could you avoid seeing him? The officials were all very angry. They had been waiting for you for a whole day. Sikong and Taiwei were both there, so were they. Extremely angry, no matter how much I try to persuade them, they don’t listen...Father...sigh..." Cao Pi said helplessly, stamping his feet angrily.
"So what, if they dare to come and cause trouble for my father, I will strangle them all one by one with each hand!!" Cao Zhang said with some disdain. As he was blowing, he pulled the wound on his face, and he grinned in pain. , Cao Pi looked at him and cursed: "I haven't said anything about you yet, what was your attitude just now? If I hadn't stopped you, Zhou Yu would have almost killed you. In front of the big Han Sikong, Taiwei, you will So arrogant... Are you trying to make me angry??"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and walked towards Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Cao Cao and said, "If you beat me before my father came, if you beat me after my father came, wouldn't you? Are you here in vain?!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop Cao Pi, smiled, looked at Cao Pi in front of him, and said: "Not bad, at least I can talk in the East Palace. Don't worry, I've always been good at it. It's okay to have trouble with him..."
"As for you, just bring some gifts, visit these people one by one, and apologize to me, and you will get to know more people... This will be beneficial to you..." Cao Cao said, and none of his sons spoke. , Cao Pi also sighed, and then noticed Cao Zhi, and said: "My Cao family, we are just like ordinary people..." Before Cao Zhi could speak, Cao Chong on the side said: "Brother!! Strange This person will definitely do something extraordinary!"
"Hahaha, you're right, you are the most talented kid!" Cao Pi said, adding more jealously to tell Cao Cao what Cao Zhang and Cao Chong had done, "Father, I don't know, these two guys are completely different. Listen to me. The younger one sneaks into the study every day and flips through the music table. He has been scolded by me many times and refuses to change. He often scribbles on my books. The older one doesn’t need to be mentioned. Taixueji The wine has come to me six times!!”
"Six times...that's not much..."
"In one ten days, you found me six times in one ten days!!"
Cao Cao laughed again and said: "It doesn't matter. When you get married and start a business in the future, you will also have experience and know how to run a family..."
"If my children are like these two people, then I would rather not get married...not have a family..." Cao Pi covered his head and said in pain. Cao Chong on the side was not honest and made faces at him, Cao Cao lightly hit him on the head and said solemnly: "You two, you are usually angry with your brother. I don't care, but if you are disrespectful, then don't blame me. After I left, your eldest brother was out again." Busy, your brother is working hard for you, so you can’t be rude to him, do you understand?"
"Well... Chong'er knows!"
"Remember, the eldest brother is the father. If I am gone, everything will be decided by your eldest brother. If he is not here, everything will be decided by your second brother..."
As Cao Cao spoke, he looked at Cao Zhang beside him and asked strangely: "Aren't you good at fighting? What's the injury on your face?"
"Father, don't mention it..." Cao Zhang said helplessly: "I have a classmate in Taixue, named Liu Yi, who belongs to the clan. I had a conflict with him before and beat him. I also fought him before. Well, later on, for some unknown reason, he went crazy and came to me all day long, saying that he wanted revenge. In one day, he came to me four or five times. I was able to beat him several times, but occasionally I suffered some losses. However, I was really afraid of this guy...I couldn't fight him away, so I rushed over shouting "Nine Life Enemies"..."
"The hatred of nine generations?? Then you ask for your blessings, and don't ask me for this matter..." Cao Cao said coldly.
He looked at Cao Pi again and asked, "Who is this Liu Yi??"
"Alas, who else could it be? One of the three evils of Luoyang, I don't know. Sanlang, Liu Yi, and Yuan Xi of Sikong Mansion. These three people did evil in Luoyang and ran rampant everywhere, so they were called Luoyang.
Three evils... That Liu Yi is the son of King Chenliu and the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang. I don't know why he ended up like this..."
"Three Evils of Luoyang???Three Evils of Luoyang???" Cao Cao looked a little dull and asked repeatedly.
"Father...what's wrong?"
"No problem...your uncle Yuan...where is he buried?"
"Father...don't cry."
Cao Chong, who was sitting in Cao Cao's arms, wiped the tears on Cao Cao's face and comforted him eagerly.
