Yanzhou, Puyang County, East County

The seat of governance in Yanzhou was originally Changyi County, Shanyang County, but Cao Cao made his fortune from Taishou in Dongjun County to control Yanzhou, and the political center had not yet shifted to Changyi County. Therefore, Cao Cao's office has always been in Puyang County, Dong County.

Although it was a hot summer day, everyone in the council hall felt a little cold.

"Zixiao, what did you say?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, looked at Cao Ren with red eyes, and there was a tremor in his tone, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked again.

"Lord, the subordinate guards are unfavorable, so that my uncle and they died tragically in the hands of thieves, please punish the lord!"

Cao Ren knelt down on one knee in front of Cao Cao, with a look of guilt on his face. Cao Cao gave him the task of welcoming Cao Song, but he failed to complete the task, this is his responsibility, and Cao Ren will not shirk the responsibility for any reason. Even though he knew that saying the news would cause Cao Cao's anger, Cao Ren did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Haha!"

To Cao Ren's surprise, after reconfirming the news of Cao Song's tragic death, Cao Cao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he was a little crazy. Even if it's laughing, it still makes people feel a little cold. Everyone thought in their hearts, could it be that Cao Cao went crazy because of the news of Cao Song's tragic death?

"Boom!"

When everyone was still wondering, Cao Cao proved that he was still very normal. I saw Cao Cao take out his sword from his waist and violently split the head of the case in front of him in half, without dragging mud and water at all, which shows the anger in Cao Cao's heart.

"Tao Qian's old thief deceives people too much. If I don't kill him, I'll be the son of man in vain!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, and then shouted angrily: "An Min." Come out to me, and tell me what happened 1510 clearly, and there must be no omission!"

When Cao Anmin saw Cao Cao's anger, he was already trembling with fright, and he didn't have the courage to stand up. However, when he saw Cao Cao's gaze that seemed to devour people, he was afraid that his fate would be the same as that desk. In the end, he stood up and told the story of the matter, and there was really no omission.

"Good. Good, good!"

Cao Cao said three good words in a row, but look at Cao Cao's expression. But it doesn't mean anything good.

"Tao Qian, old thief, since you are looking for death. Xiahoudun and Cao Ren listened to the order and mobilized all the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou; Xun Yu and Cheng Yu obeyed the order and requisitioned the grain and grass in the people's homes for military use. I will go to Xuzhou today, and I will use the head of Tao Qian's old thief to pay tribute to my father's heroic spirit!"

"Lord, please think again!"

"Lord, think twice!"

"My lord..."

After listening to Cao Cao's order, the civil and military personnel in the council hall all lined up and bowed down to dissuade them. It can be seen from this. Cao Cao's civil and military forces are all people who have a responsibility. Often when the Lord is angry. Those below know to stay out of the matter, at least until the Lord's wrath subsides before they speak up. Just like Yuan Chang traveled through the previous era, often when something happened, he would push out the deputy section chief and deputy director to calm the anger of the people, and then slowly dilute the matter. However, Cao Cao's civil and military forces did not do so, and when they heard Cao Cao's irrational order, they did not hesitate to stand up and dissuade him. With such a command, it is also very difficult for Cao Cao not to succeed.

"Think twice, how do you let me think twice? My father, my mother, and my brother all died at the hands of Tao Qian, if I don't kill Tao Qian's old thief, I will be a son of man in vain, and a brother in vain?

Cao Cao's anger was high, how could he listen to the persuasion of his subordinates, and still roared angrily.

As the chief strategist under Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai straightened his clothes and said fearlessly: "Lord, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, and his subordinates will naturally not dissuade him." However, now that there is a shortage of grain and grass in Yanzhou, and the grain of the autumn harvest has not yet been put into storage, if the troops are sent to Xuzhou now, it will definitely hurt Yanzhou's vitality, so that the young people can take advantage of the weakness. Once Yanzhou is lost, the lord's years of hard work have been put into water, and the old lady Cao must be in the spirit of the sky, and he does not want to see this scene. Therefore, the subordinates should also think twice!"

Immediately after Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu stood up and advised: "If the lord sends troops to Xuzhou for no reason, I am afraid that he will be blamed by the world." Now, if we tell the world about the killing of Mrs. Cao in Xuzhou, firstly, it is reasonable for the lord to send troops, and secondly, the lord can also use this time to prepare grain, grass, and ordnance, so that he can be invincible, and I hope that the lord will think twice!"

"I hope the lord will think twice!"

"Whew!"

Cao Cao let out a long breath and closed his eyes to calm his anger. Then he opened his eyes, bowed to his subordinates, and said loudly: "You are reasonable, but you have missed a big event because of a moment of anger. I will listen to your words, and after the autumn harvest of grain and grass is put into storage, I will go out of Xuzhou to avenge my father, my mother, and my brother!

"Whoa!"

Seeing that Cao Cao finally listened to everyone's dissuasion and did not immediately send troops to Xuzhou, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As for the whole Yanzhou hanging filial piety, Cao Cao is the head of Yanzhou, the parent official, Cao Cao's Laozi is also equivalent to everyone's uncle, hanging filial piety for his uncle, and he will not encounter too much opposition in the future.

At the moment, the civil and military officials all retreated, and only Cao Ren and Cao Anmin were still in the hall.

"Lord, his subordinates are ineffective, so that my uncle died tragically, and I ask the lord to punish him!"

Cao Cao walked in front of Cao Ren in a few steps, held Cao Ren up, and comforted: "Zixiao, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is all Tao Qian's old thief's fault, you don't have to blame yourself." If Zixiao has a heart, he will kill a few more Xuzhou soldiers in the future, and it can be regarded as avenging your uncle!"

"Thank you for the grace of the lord who does not punish him, his subordinates will definitely ask Tao Qian to pay for his life!"

After Cao Ren retreated, Cao Cao looked at Cao Anmin, sighed and said, "Anmin, I have had a deep relationship with your father since I was a child, and although I am a half-brother, I am no worse than a half-brother. Now that the second brother has left your bloodline, I will not let his only bloodline be lost. You will follow me in the future. Do not dishonor your father's name. ”

"My nephew won't let my uncle down!"

Cao Anmin said with a sad face, and then left the chamber, leaving Cao Cao alone. Looking up at the ceiling, I don't know what I'm thinking.

……

Time flies, time flies, and three months pass in a flash. During these three months, the whole world seemed to fall into peace, and there was no fighting. However, as long as someone is attentive, pay attention. It can be found that the calm now is only the calm before the storm.

"Lord Taishou. Hundreds of colleges have been built, and now it's time to start recruiting students!"

In the palace of Nanpicheng, Bohai County, Cai Yong sat under Yuan Chang's hand and reported in a cheerful tone. Originally. Cai Yong is a subordinate of Yuan Chang. It should be standing. However, Yuan Chang said that Cai Yong was old and a respected Confucian, so how could he stand and speak? Therefore, every time he was deliberating, Cai Yong could sit and talk. Although Yuan Chang's reason sounds very reasonable, but. As long as anyone who knows Yuan Chang knows that Yuan Chang is not a guy who respects the old and loves the young at all. The reason why Cai Yong is treated like this is naturally because of Cai Yan, everyone understands!

"My uncle is now the dean of the college, and he is full of peach and plum all over the world, so he naturally has more experience than me. All this is naturally decided by my uncle, and I will not work on the axe. ”

"In this way, I would like to thank Lord Taishou for his trust. ”

Cai Yong has accepted countless students, and it is naturally not difficult to do this, so he responded indifferently at the moment. Then, I saw Cai Yong look at Cai Yan and Yuan Chang with his meaningful gaze, and asked with a smile: "Lord Taishou, I don't know if the little girl's performance satisfies Lord Taishou, if there is a shortcoming, Lord Taishou does not need to be polite, what should be done!"

Cai Yan was glanced at by Cai Yong, and felt that his affairs were all seen by Cai Yong. Even Cai Yan, a woman with advanced concepts, was a little embarrassed in this situation, bowing her head, but not saying a word.

"Haha, Uncle laughed. Zhao Ji Hui is a good helper, but she is a good helper for me, I am worried about what I am doing badly, which will make Zhao Ji angry, if I don't continue to help me, I don't know where to find such a helper. So, uncle, please rest assured, Akihime is under my hands, and I will definitely not do anything wrong. ”

Yuan Chang was not embarrassed at all, and said very simply.

In fact, the relationship between Yuan Chang and Cai Yan is also a little rumored in Nanpi City. After all, a lonely man and a widow, the two are together all day, and it is impossible to gossip without gossip. These words will naturally fall into Cai Yong's ears. Originally, Cai Yong was also a little annoyed when he heard such rumors just now, thinking about asking Cai Yan not to continue to follow Yuan Chang. However, Cai Yong later thought that his daughter was also miserable and married Wei Jiawei, but not long after passing the door, Wei died, and Cai Yan took the name of Kefu and became a widow. Cai Yan kept his promise and did not tell Cai Yong the real situation. Cai Yong also felt a little guilty in his heart, it was he who made a drunken gaffe at the beginning, and he made a baby kiss with Wei Ke's Lao Tzu, so that Cai Yan took the name of Kefu on his back. Therefore, after thinking carefully, Cai Yong decided to ignore this matter and let it be. Yuan Chang's conditions are good in all aspects, and he is also a good match for Cai Yan. Although Yuan Chang is a little careful, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in these years, and Cai Yong himself is also a merry guy. If you don't mind this, there's nothing else to pick on. Of course, Cai Yan is a little older than Yuan Chang, and in this era, there is no such thing as sister and brother love, and men are usually older than women. However, if Yuan Chang and Cai Yan didn't mind themselves, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Therefore, Cai Yong's words just now are actually showing his attitude. It means that he will not interfere in the relationship between Yuan Chang and Cai Yan, you are so self-conscious!

Cai Yan is a smart woman, if it is under normal circumstances, she will naturally be able to hear the meaning of Cai Yong's words. However, this matter involved herself, and because of her shyness, she didn't hear the meaning of Cai Yong's words for a while. Yuan Chang heard it, so Yuan Chang also expressed his meaning very simply and clearly, saying that he was very satisfied with Cai Yan and would treat Cai Yan well and so on. Anyway, it's a game between an old fox and a little fox, and there's nothing to say.

Cai Yan didn't react at first, but after a while. But he finally understood the meaning of the two of them, and the blush on his face became even stronger. Of course, after understanding what Yuan Chang and Cai Yong meant. Cai Yan was also overjoyed in his heart.

"It's not early, so the old man will go back first, it's not as good as you young people!"

Cai Yong arched his hand at Yuan Chang, said something meaningful, and then turned to leave. However, after going out, Cai Yong's words of sigh and expectation floated in.

"I'm getting old. But there is no grandson to rejoice under his knees, pitiful, he has lived this age in vain..."

Although Cai Yong is just a simple sentence. It seems to have no head or tail. However, Yuan Chang and Cai Yan both understood, and naturally understood the meaning of Cai Yong's words. When Cai Yan heard this, he naturally blushed. And Yuan Chang. It's a very lewd * bad laugh.

"Akihime. My father-in-law has said so, do you think we need to go any further?"

"Hey, you're so bad, my father didn't say anything!"

Cai Yan took a sip and gently knocked on Yuan Chang's chest, more like flirting between lovers.

"Hehe, if you don't say anything, why are you blushing? I'm going to thank you tonight, and fulfill my father-in-law's wish as soon as possible. ”

"Official. Don't, spare the concubine!"

A room full of living spring fragrance, of course, Yuan Chang and Cai Yan did not make any substantive moves, I am afraid that they will disappoint the officials. However, some actions that are inappropriate for children are also inevitable, so I won't repeat them here.

At noon three days later, Yuan Chang looked at Cai Yan with a sullen face and was immediately curious.

"Zhaohime, what's wrong with you, you look unhappy, if you have any worries, just talk to the officials, and see if the officials can help you. ”

Cai Yan glanced back at Yuan Chang, then lowered his head again, and continued to put on a bored expression.

Yuan was common, and suddenly became angry, what does this mean, do you look down on this official? I can't say that he still has to show something, so that Cai Yan knows his strength.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

Yuan Chang suddenly walked in front of Cai Yan, hugged Cai Yan at the waist, and slapped Cai Yan's plump buttocks a few times, without showing any mercy.

"Okay, you little lady, you dare not answer when asked, and let you know how powerful this official is!"

"Woooooo

Cai Yan was attacked, and he felt a hot pain in his buttocks, and suddenly complained. However, Yuan Changke didn't stop, Cai Yan saw this, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't fight, the little woman knows it's wrong, the little woman will tell the matter, and ask the official to give an idea!"

"Hmph, you know how powerful this official is!"

Yuan Chang straightened his chest with a smug expression. But he secretly laughed in his heart, the kneading just now was really enjoyable, but it was a pity that Cai Yan begged for mercy too quickly, if he held on for a while, it would be even more refreshing.

"Yes, the officials are amazing, and the five bodies that the little woman admires have fallen to the ground!"

Cai Yan straightened his clothes and rolled his eyes at Yuan Chang a few times. Subsequently, I only heard Cai Yan say: "Official, the reason why the little woman is upset is because of her father's affairs. ”

"Well, what's the matter with my father-in-law?"

Cai Yan did not refute Yuan Chang's rightful title, glanced at Yuan Chang and said, "Official, it's not because of you that this matter is not because of you. It's all about the academy, which makes it difficult for my father to sleep and eat these days, and seeing my father so anxious, the little girl is naturally in a bad mood. Official, you don't know how to be considerate of others, and you have to bully the little girl, woo, people have no place to reason. ”

Listening to Cai Yan's words, Yuan Chang was surprised in his heart, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't the construction of the college very good, now as long as the enrollment is completed, the school can be opened, what can be the problem? Could it be that there is a problem with the enrollment?"

"That's right, it's the enrollment problem!"

Cai Yan nodded and agreed with Yuan Chang's words. This made Yuan Chang even more surprised, how could there still be a problem with enrollment? The various conditions of the hundred colleges are good, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is also a large amount of knowledge for students to study. It can be said that in today's era, it is simply a dream place of learning! It stands to reason that there should be an endless stream of people entering the school, how can there be problems?

Could it be because of Cai Yong's reputation? This idea was just a momentary effort, and Yuan Chang threw it to the other side of the mountain, the other side of the sea.

At the beginning, Cai Yong succumbed to Dong Zhuo's command, which attracted the scolding of many scholars and literati. However, most of the doctors can understand Cai Yong's situation. Under threat to the family. How many people can really do it without caring at all? A doctor who doesn't care about his family like that, everyone will praise him for his high demeanor. But how will the heart look at them. And only every man knows it in his heart. Therefore, Cai Yong's submission to Dong Zhuo did not have much impact on Cai Yong. Cai Yong's reputation as a contemporary Confucian is still very loud.

Sending out enrollment information in the name of Cai Yong, how can no one enroll?

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Chang came to three conclusions.

The first. Cai Yong's name is very loud, but it is not Cai Yong himself who recruits and teaches this time. Cai Yong is the dean of the college. If there is no Cai Yong to teach in person, there are not many people who want to learn, and it is also said in the past.

The second, in any era. The peasants always made up the majority. It's the autumn harvest season. Everyone in the family is an important labor force, and they are naturally reluctant to send their children to the academy. In their opinion, it is better to use that time to study than to help the family collect more food.

The third is the reason for the Hundred Academies. As the name suggests, anyone can enter the academy to study, and some people who think they are noble naturally don't want to send their children in to study with those with low status. lest they insult their identity.

Based on these three reasons, this enrollment is very crowded. Only a few children of the scholar clan who admired Cai Yong's name came to study. Moreover, these people also have a requirement to study, that is, they do not want to study with the children of farmers and merchants. In addition, some wealthy businessmen also send their children to study at the academy. Anyway, they have a lot of money, and the children can learn a little bit.

"Official, do you have a way to solve your father's problem?"

Cai Yan looked at Yuan Chang with a suspicious expression, as if to say, see it, tell you the problem, you can't solve it, it's just one more annoying person.

Seeing that Cai Yan doubted his ability, Yuan Chang's anger rose. In front of women, a man can say anything, but he can't say no. Isn't it just a matter of admissions, how difficult can it be?

"Hmph, a small problem, what's the difficulty in solving it!"

"Anyone can talk big!"

Cai Yan pursed his mouth and said in disbelief. In her opinion, Yuan Chang said this just to be prestigious, she and Cai Yong thought hard for a few days, but they didn't come up with any good solutions, Yuan Chang just worked hard for a while, and what ideas could he have. Therefore, Cai Yan didn't believe that Yuan Chang could solve it at all.

"Okay, you little lady, you don't believe in the ability of this official. In that case, you and I will make a bet, and if this official does it, what will you do?"

Seeing Yuan Chang's confident expression, Cai Yan immediately had some doubts in his heart, could Yuan Chang really solve this problem? However, after thinking about it, Cai Yan still vetoed it. If Yuan Chang is given some time, with Yuan Chang's wisdom, it will not be a problem. However, it was only a moment of hard work, how could Cai Yan not believe that Yuan Chang could do it.

"Okay, if you can do it as an official, the little woman will listen to the official's orders. However, officials, you can't ask Guo Zhubo for help, so the bet won't count. ”

Guo Jia's intelligence is undoubted, and it has been affirmed by anyone under Yuan Chang's command. If Yuan Chang asked Guo Jia for help, maybe Yuan Chang would have a way. Therefore, Cai Yan still added this condition. If Yuan Chang finds Guo Jia to find a way, it is also a good thing to solve Cai Yong's troubles, and at the same time, Cai Yan will not lose to Yuan Chang, so she will not have to fulfill her bet. Thinking of this, Cai Yan felt that he was really smart.

"Hey, little lady, you said it yourself. Don't pay if you lose, you will look good when the time comes!"

Yuan Chang smiled evilly, his presumptuous gaze swept over Cai Yan's body, looking at Yuan Chang's expression, it seemed that he had already eaten Cai Yan.

"Hmph, we'll see!"

Cai Yan raised his head unconvinced, and he had the meaning of competing with Yuan Chang to the end.

Early the next morning, Yuan Chang sent officials to the villages and counties in Bohai County to paste notices. Then, from noon, there was an endless stream of scholars who went to study in Baijia College, and Cai Yong, as the dean, was naturally happy. Then, Cai Yan naturally knew about it, and her face suddenly became very exciting.

However, Cai Yan was still very curious about how Yuan Chang solved this problem, and hurriedly ran to Yuan Chang to be coquettish and coquettish. (To be continued......)
