Chapter 179, Pig's Head
On the night of the fifteenth, the moon is always round. The round moon hung on it, and the stars circled around it, just like the difference between a king and a courtier.
There are many emperors living in Weiyang Palace, but there is only one monarch. Just as in the sky, there can only be one moon.
The master of Weiyang Palace is Liu Bang, and only Liu Bang can sit on the main seat of the banquet. The Han army had just won a war and cleaned up Wei Wu fiercely. The resentment of being bullied by the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State for hundreds of years was swept away, and everyone from Liu Bang to Liu Bei showed an indescribable excitement. I've been bullied for so long, and it's rare that I can bully others now.
Depression can be passed on, Liu Bang doesn't know what Cao Cao and Sun Ce think now. But he could see the melancholy expressions of Cao Ang and Cao Pi, which was a very happy thing. There is nothing more painful than seeing an enemy become one's own prisoner.
Cao Ang was not happy at all, and neither was Cao Pi. When Ma Chao took them into Chang'an, there was good news from the front, the Wei-Wu coalition army was defeated, and the Han army pursued all the way to the city of Jianye, leaving a shameful text on the city wall. This seems to be the tradition of the Han army, every time a big victory is achieved, something will always be made to commemorate it. When Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan, he also did this.
Liu Bang raised his wine glass and said to the emperors and ministers: "Celebrate the prestige of my Han Dynasty and drink together!"
"Congratulations for the Great Han! Congratulations for Emperor Taizu Gao!"
A glass of wine was slowly drunk, and Liu Bang's face was slightly red. Du Kang's new wine is a bit strong, and after a glass, he is already a little drunk. He beckoned to the palace and said, "Take Cao Ang and Cao Pi a few steps forward, let me take a good look at how the people who can usurp my Han family compare to Wang Mang." ”
Liu Che and Liu Xiu each carried one and dragged Cao Ang and Cao Pi forward a few steps.
Liu Bang looked at Cao Pi carefully, shook his head and said, "Compared with Wang Mang, you are too far behind. Compared with your father Cao Cao, there is too much difference. ”
Cao Pi was quite unconvinced: "I am already a prisoner of the rank today, I want to fight or kill, listen to the respect, why should Han Gaozu humiliate me again." ”
Liu Bang pursed his lips disdainfully and humiliated him? The founding king of the Han Dynasty was guilty of humiliating a descendant? He looked at Cao Ang again and asked, "Your brother and I are humiliating him, what do you think?"
Cao Ang's expression remained flat, and when he heard this, he replied: "Emperor Taizu Gao punished Qin, Pingxi Chu, and has a four-hundred-year-old family business of the Han family, how can he humiliate us." What Gaozu said is good, the second brother is far from being on par with Wang Mang and my father. ”
Liu Bang said with a smile: "Since Cao Cao died, he has been using the title of King of Wei instead of Emperor Wu of Wei, for what?
"My father has always respected Gaozu, and when he was in the world, he admired Gaozu's achievements in building the Han Dynasty. Therefore, although he holds the power of the court, he still does not dare to usurp the heart. The usurper is my second brother, not my father. The King of Wei is naturally the King of Wei of the Han Emperor, and as for the emperor, my father did not dare to trespass. ”
"Really?" Liu Bang shook his wine glass lightly, and said: "Back then, I made an alliance with the generals on the white horse, and the king who was not the Liu family would fight together. Recently, he joined forces with Sun Jian to oppose my Han family, and he dared to be the King of Wei of the Han Emperor?"
Cao Ang was a little indisputable, so he had to say: "Why should Gaozu be so serious, my Luoyang City can be regarded as a large number of generals, can't I join forces with Gaozu and beat Sun Ce out of the grassland? One more friend is better than one more enemy, isn't it? Not to mention that the Han family has been in possession for more than 400 years, and the national Zuo is not short, although Cao Pi is the Han Dynasty, but he is kind to the Han Emperor after all, isn't it?"
Liu Bang threw the wine glass on the ground and said: "Since your cheap grandfather Cao Teng, your Cao family has been favored by the Han family for generations, and now you are embarrassed to debate with me!
Cao Pi raised his head and shouted: "Xia Wei has no way, Shang Tang has no way, Shang Xun has no way, King Wu of Zhou has no way, didn't you Liu Bang also be the pavilion chief of the Qin Dynasty and the Han King of Western Chu back then!"
Everyone at the banquet changed their faces. dared to accuse Liu Bang in person, Cao Pi was probably the first. Even the first emperor of Qin, Yingzheng, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had a bad impression of Liu Bang, but they still had a respect. People who can start from mud legs and finally get under deserve the respect they deserve.
What's more, although the Second Emperor Huan Ling is a bit absurd, it is far from being compared with the Ji Xuan in the history books, and compared with the Second Emperor Hu Hai, it is also a few ranks worse. How can it be generalized.
Liu Bang laughed angrily, pointed at Cao Pi and said, "You are accusing me." Yours isn't like that, but there's some truth to it. At that time, Kuaitong Han Xin, 'Qin lost its deer, and the next party chased it, so the high-quality and sick people got it first'. Under the scramble, nothing more than that. But as the ancestor of the Han family, I am not happy to see you, what can you do?"
Cao Pi raised his head and didn't say anything, he could do anything, he was helpless. If he has taken away other people's family business and is found by his ancestors, what else can he do?
Liu Bang directly carried the wine jar and took a sip. Said: "Take Cao Pi down, beat him until his father Cao Cao doesn't know him, then tie up his hands and feet, put it in a bag, and take advantage of the night to throw me at the gate of Jianye City to see what Sun Ce does." As for Cao Ang, send him to carry the stone with Yuan Shao, and it is necessary to strengthen the city wall of Chang'an. ”
Several generals got up from their seats and took Cao Ang and Cao Pi away. Liu Bang's order will be fully implemented in their hands, and the Han Dynasty is not only under the surname Liu, but also the efforts of these courtiers, and those who dare to provoke must be punished.
Cao Pi can't remember how many punches and kicks he received, and these mud legs that were killed actually used bricks. Fortunately, there were no obvious wounds on the body, and the only minor injuries were slowly healing, and there were no negative effects other than pain. It's just that this face is afraid that it will take a few years to return to its previous appearance, and now it is too swollen.
Sun Ce looked at the sack in front of him and was a little dazed, this thing was discovered by the guards at the city gate this morning, and then it was sent to him. Something was moving in it all the time, and whether it was open or not was a bit of a difficult problem for him. If you open it, what if a wild wolf or something pops out of it? A bag that I don't know what to hold at night is thrown under the city gate, which is not normal to look at. If you don't open it, it's really curious, and the contents of the bag are always moving, and it's possible that it's a fun animal like a monkey.
Standing next to the bag, his hand hanging in the air, Sun Ce was entangled and didn't know how to choose.
Zhou Yu burst in with a cloaked hair and asked anxiously, "Bo Fu, what's wrong?"
Before he woke up, he was woken up by the soldiers, Sun Ce had something urgent to find him, and he didn't have time to wash his face and comb his hair, so he ran all the way.
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu silly, it was the first time he had seen such an elegant character like Zhou Gongjin so embarrassed.
Zhou Yu gave him a look at his head and said, "What's the smirk! What happened in the end?"
Sun Ce pointed to the bag tied up and said, "It's such a thing, the guards at the city gate found it this morning, and it should have been left there last night." I don't know what's in it, I don't know if I should open it. ”
Zhou Yu looked around the bag, and there was a person inside! He decisively untied the rope tied to the mouth of the bag and peeled the bag off Cao Pi's body.
Cao Pi, who was swollen into a pig's head, came out of it and looked around in confusion. Who are these two ghosts in front of you? I don't know them at all. I don't know what happened to the eldest brother now, yesterday Liu Bang was going to throw the eldest brother to carry a stone and throw himself at the gate of Jianye City. This can't be a Jianye, right? There is also a Jianye in the underworld?
Zhou Yu pulled out the strip of cloth that was stuffed in Cao Pi's mouth and said, "Who are you? Why were you thrown at the city gate?"
Cao Pi said a little inarticulately: "I am Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, who are you?"
Sun Ce put his hand on his ear and said, "Your voice is too vague, who are you?"
Cao Pi had to repeat it again and try his best to make his words clearer. "I am Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, who are you?"
Sun Ce scratched his head and asked Zhou Yu, "What is him?
Zhou Yu spread his hands, but he didn't hear clearly, the pig's head in front of him was beaten too badly, and he couldn't speak clearly.
Cao Pi reluctantly repeated it again, and Zhou Yu only half-listened and half-guessed before he figured out what he was.
Although his son Cao Cao is not good-looking, his eldest brother Cao Ang is good-looking, why did he go back again?
asked about Cao Pi's experience, and explained the cause and effect to Sun Ce. Sun Ce was very simple, packed up, and sent it to Cao Gong! His missing son was found!
Lu Meng personally went to Luoyang, and of course his words were very beautiful! The lord was unreliable, and he couldn't be unreliable. No matter how hard the world fights, it doesn't matter if it is the underworld, now Wei and Wu are allies!
However, Cao Pi was beaten really miserably, and the Han army was inevitably too heavy, could it be that Cao Pi vented his frustration of being bullied by the Qin army?
Cao Cao thanked Lu Meng for sending his son back, and asked him to bring Sun Ce some return gifts, so he took Cao Pi to the study alone.
His father looked much younger than when he died, and Cao Pi tried his best not to let his heart fluctuate so much, standing honestly in front of the table and waiting for his father to speak.
"Zihuan, what about your eldest brother, how could you be robbed by the Han army?"
"The eldest brother was still imprisoned in Chang'an, and as soon as my eldest brother and I arrived in Linjie that day, we were blocked by Ma Chao and the cavalry. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he had a number in his heart. Ghosts can't die, and it's nothing for a person as big as Cao Ang to suffer a little.
He asked Cao Pi again: "Zijian has a poem that is very widely circulated in the underworld, do you know which one it is?"
Cao Pi looked down at his toes, and replied in his heart: "Probably the White Horse Chapter?"
Cao Cao said word by word: "It's not a white horse chapter, it's a seven-step poem." If you think about the content of this poem, you know it very well, so you might as well read it to your father. ”
Cao Pi knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Father, the child knows his mistake. ”
Cao Cao ignored him, pulled out a scroll from the pile of bamboo slips on one side, and slowly read the book.
Cao Pi didn't dare to move, although he had been an emperor for a few years, he still had no courage in front of his father. The foundation of Wei is not all laid down by his father, he just inherited the legacy.
This kneeling was two hours, Cao Cao finished reading the book in his hand, got up from his seat with his hands behind his back, and said while stepping out of the door: "You go and ask Ziwen's forgiveness yourself, and you have to admit your mistakes after Zijian dies." If any brother does not forgive you, you will not be allowed to enter the gate of my Cao family. ”
"Yes, father. ”
