Chapter 282: I'd rather bear the world
[The outbreak of the Baked Cake League continues, the fifth watch, and there is another shift at night, fighting]
Coming out of Tang Dou's Jincheng Marquis' Mansion, Cao Pi went straight to the Wei Palace.
This matter is too big, he can't afford it, and if it spreads to Cao Cao No. 2 Middle School from other channels, it will be a capital crime for him to conceal it and not report it.
Cao Cao sat on the couch and listened to Cao Pi's speech with a sick face, his face was unwavering, without the slightest fluctuation, and he didn't say a word for a long time with hot tea, and he didn't even open his eyes.
"Father, did you hear what your son said?" Cao Pi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Cao Cao, whose eyes were slightly closed, and asked in a low voice.
After another moment, Cao Cao exhaled deeply, and a few strands of long gray hair in his hairline flew without wind.
Cao Cao opened his eyes, stared at Cao Pi and asked, "Did he say when I died?" ”
"Erchen...... Erchen didn't dare. Cao Pi hurriedly lowered his head and lay on the ground.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are predetermined, let's say it." Cao Cao said weakly.
"March...... March 15. Cao Pi said sadly, and didn't dare to raise his head.
"March 15, March 15," Cao Cao muttered and closed his eyes: "I remember that it is already the beginning of February." ”
"Yes, Father."
Cao Cao opened his eyes, lay on the bed weakly, glanced at the big smoking gun beside him, sighed and picked it up, closed his eyes and said, "Come up, pick two cigarette bubbles for me." ”
Cao Pi hurriedly climbed onto the bed, skillfully picked out a cigarette bubble and put it on the big smoking gun, and slowly leaned on the oil lamp with his hand.
The thick aroma of the smoke wafted up, and this time even Cao Pi shook his nose and reveled in it.
Cao Cao smoked two cigarette bubbles in a row, opened his eyes, and the whole person had become radiant, and the sick look on his face just now had been swept away, and his face even showed a little ruddy.
Cao Cao stared at Cao Pi, who was swallowing saliva at the big cigarette gun he had just put down, and said, "You go and order me to arrange the funeral." I have stolen and dug up countless ancestors' tombs in my life, and I have lost my yin virtue, and I don't want to wait until my graves are dug up by others in the future. When I die, you will lay seventy-two graves of doubt, so that no one can guess where I am buried. ”
"Father......" Cao Pi heard Cao Cao arrange the funeral. Hurriedly stayed and prostrate on the ground: "Father Fushou Tianqi, he will definitely be able to survive this catastrophe." ”
Cao Cao waved his hand: "That's all to make people happy, no one can live forever." Take my words to heart, Dobu Doubtful Grave. My tomb does not need any burial treasures, nor does it need to erect a monument, everything is simple, and as for the burial objects, let me kill those who are buried together. Kill three times. ”
"Kill three times?" Cao Pi raised his head in some confusion.
People only have one life, how can they be killed three times?
Cao Cao frowned, could such a dull person really inherit his own unification and replace the Han family to open up the Great Wei Dynasty?
Cao Cao closed his eyes, tried his best to calm his mind, and said slowly: "The first batch of funeral people will be killed, and then the murderers will be killed, and then you will personally kill the third murderer, so that no one will know where I am buried." ”
The corners of Cao Pi's eyes twitched a few times, and there were no burial treasures placed in his father's tomb. He was afraid that the tomb robbers would insult his corpse, but although his father's funeral goods did not have treasures, there were countless more lives, this kind of funeral system that violated heaven and harmony was just an ordinary thing in this era of emperors and generals, Cao Pi was not surprised, but the general nobles were buried by their wives and concubines, and Cao Cao's martyrs There were countless more people responsible for burying him, just imagine, seventy-two doubtful graves, killing three funeral personnel. That's going to be a huge number.
Cao Pi bowed his head without hesitation and said: "Erchen understands, every person who is buried in the tomb must be killed three times. ”
Cao Cao snorted, exhaled, and said slowly: "The hill west of the Leopard Temple at the West Gate of Yecheng has good feng shui. When I die, bury me there. ”
"Oh", Cao Pi's eyes were red. After all, he was a biological father, and when his father was dying and confessed to his future, Cao Pi was moved by his true feelings even if he was hard-hearted.
Cao Cao opened his eyes, looked at Cao Pi and said, "You can already arrange someone to arrange the grave of doubt now, if your father dies on March 15." lest thou shalt be panicked. ”
After saying this, Cao Cao's voice suddenly became cold, stared at Cao Pi and said, "If your father is still alive on March 15, do you know what you should do?" ”
Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao and said without hesitation: "If my father is still alive on March 15, one of the seventy-two doubtful graves must be buried with the Marquis of Jincheng." ”
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, picked up the big cigarette gun on the side and knocked it twice on Cao Pi's head, and said tiredly: "I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me." Your ruthlessness reassures me, that is, your brain is not as good as Cangshu and Zijian's spiritual light, and you should think more about everything in the future and think twice before acting. ”
Hearing Cao Cao mention Cao Chong who was killed by his own hands, Cao Pi had cold sweat on his forehead again, and hurriedly prostrate again: "Erchen remembers." ”
Cao Cao hummed, and lay back on the couch tiredly, the red light on his face just now had disappeared, and he closed his eyes slightly and said: "After I die, you must burn this big smoking gun and the remaining cigarette paste one by one, and you must not leave it." As long as this thing is stained, it can make people unable to extricate themselves, and the cigarette paste is only in the hands of the Marquis of Jincheng, if you are stained with this thing, it is equivalent to giving up the foundation that the old man has created for so many years to others. ”
Cao Pi was shocked, just now he was indeed tempted by the aroma of cigarette cream, and he wanted to take a sip as beautifully as Cao Cao, if Cao Cao hadn't reminded him like this, Cao Cao would have really died after the funeral, so he would definitely keep the treasure for himself.
"Erchen wrote it down." Facing Cao Cao's gaze, Cao Pi bowed his head in a cold sweat.
Cao Cao snorted and waved his hand: "You go and do something, your father's time is short, you still have a lot of things to do, especially for these old ministers who follow the country for your father, you should know how to win them over, there are some people you can use, if you can't use them, let them go back to their hometowns." ”
Cao Pi glanced at Cao Cao deeply, bowed his head and said, "Father cherishes it." ”
After saying that, Cao Pi retreated backwards and slowly retreated.
When Cao Pi withdrew from the palace gate and disappeared, Cao Cao sighed and sat up from the bed, stood up and walked slowly to the palace door, staring at the blue sky outside the main hall, and muttered: "March 15, March 15, is there only so much time left for the old man?" ”
Walking to the door of the main hall, Cao Cao raised his feet and wanted to step out of the high threshold of the main hall, but he couldn't cross it after lifting his feet several times in a row, and then he woke up and seemed to have not been out of this hall for a long time.
"Someone comes." Cao Cao shouted in a low voice.
Several Inner Palace guards flashed out in response.
"Prepare for it, I want to go to Tongque Terrace to sit down."
"Wow", a guard galloped away.
Cao Cao tried to lift his foot to cross the threshold, but he was weak halfway and stepped on the air, and the whole person fell forward uncontrollably.
Several guards hurriedly rushed forward to support Cao Cao.
Cao Cao sighed silently, waved away the guards, and slowly walked out of the hall and stepped down the steps.
A gust of wind blew in his face, Cao Cao's long gray hair was scattered and flowing in the wind, and his back looked so old and lonely at this moment. (To be continued.) )
