Chen Gong, I think, has a similar temperament to Tian Feng. They are both the kind of iron-headed boys who have practiced for three lives and three lives.
The biggest difference between the two is that Chen Gong is far more arrogant than Tian Feng. In Chen Gong's view, his judgment is never wrong.
Therefore, Chen Gong plunged into Cao Dabai's family dispute.
He felt that he was doing it for his good friend Cao Mengde. He thought that Cao Cao was blinded by the relationship between father and son and could not see Cao Ang's shortcomings at all.
In Chen Gong's view, Cao Ang is a good-for-nothing person, just like his adoptive mother who is short-sighted, stubborn, jealous and greedy.
Cao Cao is destined to be famous in history in the future, and he cannot be held back by such a childless wife and an unworthy son.
Of course, Chen Gong was not a fool. He would not be so stubborn as to speak out in front of Cao Cao. He joined forces with Zhang Miao, Cao Cao's life and death friend, to try to persuade Mrs. Bian to stand up and compete with Mrs. Ding for the position of the head wife.
No matter what Chen Gong's ability was, there was at least one thing he was right about.
Mrs. Ding was indeed jealous. There were private rumors among Cao's servants that Cao Ang's biological mother, Mrs. Liu, actually died at the hands of Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding herself had nothing to do. In order to win favor, she poisoned Mrs. Liu and took away Mrs. Liu's body.
The son was snatched away and raised as his own son.
Cao Cao also heard such rumors, but he only punished the person who spread the news severely, but did not believe it.
Mrs. Ding is Cao Cao's official wife, the Ding family is Cao Cao's uncle's family, and Mrs. Ding is Cao Cao's cousin. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so naturally they have a deep relationship.
In fact, Mrs. Ding is not childless, but she has given birth to two sons and one daughter, both of whom are strange and disabled. Especially the firstborn, the eldest son, who almost fainted from the birth and actually had a baby on the back of her buttocks.
It has a tail that is more than a foot long and is very hairy and scary.
All three children were secretly drowned and hastily buried by Cao Cao's father, Cao Song.
Although the Cao family is not a famous family, it can still be called a distinguished family. How could they leave such a laughing stock for the world to laugh at.
From today's perspective, Mrs. Ding can't be blamed for this. Why did Cao Cao marry her as a close relative? The children born would naturally be born with defects.
This is considered Cao Cao's good luck. All three of his children have physical defects. In fact, the possibility of giving birth to cerebral palsy and mental retardation is greater if close relatives marry. If you can't tell it when you are young, if you are raised to have dementia when you grow up, it will only be more difficult for the Cao family.
Mrs. Ding gave birth to three freaks in a row, which naturally made Cao Cao's parents very dissatisfied, so they decided to marry Mrs. Liu to continue the Cao family.
Chen Gong has a good relationship with Cao Cao. There is no need to report when entering or leaving Cao Cao's house. Naturally, he has the opportunity to hear some rumors about Mrs. Ding. In addition, Mrs. Ding treats Mrs. Bian and her son very harshly. She often beats and scolded her. She once broke Mrs. Bian's head with a teacup.
She even knocked such a small child out of Mrs. Bian's arms because Cao Pi, who was under one year old, cried and fussed in front of her.
After learning all this, Chen Gong was already dissatisfied with Cao Ang, and now the evidence was solidified. If Cao Cao and his cousin had not been in love since childhood, Mrs. Ding would have been instigated by Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others to divorce Cao Cao.
Shu Ban went back to her parents' home.
In fact, there is no lack of support behind Cao Ang.
There are three major groups under Cao Cao: the counselor group headed by Xun You and Cheng Yu, the Peixian group headed by the Xiahou brothers, and the clan group headed by Cao Ren and Cao Hong.
Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was the powerful eunuch beside Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. He could be regarded as the senior eunuch of the Ten Constant Attendants, and he held great power.
Of course, it is impossible for an eunuch to have a son, but the ancients were very frightened when there was no one to pay tribute after death, so the powerful Cao Teng adopted a son, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song.
This Cao Teng is also weird. Instead of choosing a son from the old Cao family clan, he asked someone to choose a son from the descendants of Xia Houying, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty. It is probably to improve the genes of the old Cao family.
So Cao Song was actually a child of Xiahou's family, but he was adopted by Cao Teng and changed his surname to Cao.
As a descendant of the Cao family, Cao Cao was naturally assisted by Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who were also members of the Cao family.
However, Cao Cao has the blood of the Xiahou family, so Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers also regard him as one of their own.
After all, the Xiahou brothers did not have the same surname as Cao Cao, so they were not willing to interfere in Cao Cao's family affairs. They were neither humble nor arrogant to Cao Ang, neither distant nor close, and maintained a normal superior-subordinate relationship with Cao Ang.
Xun You and Cheng Yu have a long-term vision. At present, Cao Cao is in a period of rapid development and is at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. They are far from talking about establishing direct succession, and they are not concerned about it.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other Cao family members are more concerned about these things, but these rough guys who only know how to send troops and horses know one thing. Cao Ang is Cao Cao's biological son and the eldest son's direct grandson, so naturally they are more supportive of Cao Ang.
It doesn’t matter how many grape racks Cao Cao planted in his backyard.
That is to say, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao considered themselves friends of Cao Cao and could not understand Cao Ang's daily behavior, so they wanted to support Cao Cao's second son Cao Pi and Cao Ang to compete for the heir.
identity.
The problem is that Cao Pi is only over two years old and less than three years old this year. Let him compete with his brother for a mouthful of milk. He may still have some motivation. Fight for inheritance rights. What is inheritance rights? Is it delicious?
In the end, the matter became a fuss, and Cao Cao just laughed it off without commenting.
Cao Ang learned from his adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, that Chen Gong was behind the scenes, so naturally he was filled with resentment towards Chen Gong in his little heart.
Now that his uncle has arrived, he has plenty of money, food, and soldiers, so he naturally wants to promote Liu Zhi and his son to fight against Chen Gong and Zhang Miao.
When Liu Zhi heard Cao Ang explain the whole story clearly, he was so angry that he blushed and became thick-necked. He slapped the table and cursed Chen Gong for harboring evil intentions and trying to undermine the old Cao family's ethics.
Although Cao Ang is young, he grew up in a family of officials and has his own unique views on things.
"Uncle, from what you said, the Liu family army recruited Caomang Ranger. It seems that he is stronger than fighting alone and weaker than two armies fighting against each other. I wonder if that is the case?"
Liu Zhi did not answer, Liu Xiang rushed to say: "Of course, cousin, please take a look at the three commanders of the Liu family army. Among them is the fierce tiger Dianwei who is powerful in Heshuo. The two halberds in his palms have the courage of thousands of men.
Even the imperial guards in the Terror Palace are no match for him."
In the minds of ordinary people, the most powerful force in the world is naturally beside the emperor. The legendary Ouchi guards fly over eaves, walls, rooms and ridges one by one. They are all superhuman in strength, so they can defeat the Ouchi guards.
It is the ultimate expression of personal force.
Cao Ang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he turned to look at Lin Feng and the others, and asked with great interest: "May I ask who is the violent tiger hero?"
Liu Xiang triumphantly waved and called Lin Feng and the others to him, and introduced to Cao Ang: "These three people are sworn brothers. This is the eldest brother Qianlong Mufeng, the second is Baohu Dianwei, and this is the third.
Chasing the Wind Leopard Yuan Zhao."
Cao Ang looked at them one by one and was stunned.
It is obvious that Dian Wei's face is full of vicissitudes of life and he has a big beard, with each beard standing upright like a hedgehog. He is much older than Lin Feng. Some people believe that he is Lin Feng and his second uncle. How come he looks the youngest?
Is Lin Feng the boss?
It is true that Lin Feng did not think carefully about this matter. At the beginning, he was just talking nonsense and wanted to get some information from Liu Xiang. He did not expect that things would develop like this in the future.
But there was nothing I could do, I had to cover up the lies I told even though I shed tears.
Liu Xiang leaned into Cao Ang's ear and revealed a secret in a story-telling tone.
"That's right, Mufeng and Yuan Zhao are both orphans, and they don't know their respective ages. Therefore, when the three of them became sworn brothers, they were not ranked by age, but by lot."
Cao Ang's mouth opened wide. This was the first time he heard that lots were used to determine who was the boss and who was the second child during sworn vows. From the perspective of a second-generation official like him who strictly pays attention to respect and inferiority, acting so hastily is simply a violation of the sworn bond.
Jinlan's insult.
However, as a charlatan, he has no ideas and behaves eccentrically and absurdly, which is exactly what he should be doing.
Putting these aside, Cao Ang looked at Dian Wei and asked: "Dian Erxia, if I ask you to kill someone before the banquet, will you have the courage?"
Dian Wei blinked and replied angrily: "It depends on who to kill."
Cao Ang gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Gong has three heroes from the Bian family. Each of them has the ability to subdue dragons and tigers. They have been praised by the emperor's master Wang Yue in the palace, and the young emperor himself named them heroes."
Having said this, Cao Ang clenched his right fist and smashed it hard on his left palm: "If you can kill the Bian brothers one by one in public, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold for each person you kill."
