Chapter 156: Buildable Materials (Xuanqing Bamboo Reward and Change)
When Wang Ji died, Cangji became a lost dog, and no one would protect him. Those people originally looked at Wang Ji's face and gifts, who would care who Cangji was.
If Wang Ji had died a few days earlier, he might not even have a chance to get out of prison and die directly in Tingwei Prison.
Cao Miao asked him to write a letter of repentance, knowing that this was a pit, but he couldn't refuse. Originally, he wanted to return to his hometown, be a man with his tail between his legs, and wait for a turnaround, but Wang Ji's death made him realize that Cao Miao would not give him such a chance.
In the face of life and death, he chose to endure humiliation and steal life, otherwise he would not have stood here for so long.
The repentance was written, but Cao Miao did not let go of the meaning of the cangji. "My father and king thought in Yecheng because you were imprisoned, and you must pay this debt. From now on, you will be doing sprinkler and sweep in my yard. My father was imprisoned for a few days, and you will be back for a few days. After the expiration of the period, we have two grievances, and you can go wherever you like. ”
Although I feel embarrassed to be a handyman, this result is still much better than Kuraji's expectations. Hardly hesitating, he knelt down in thanksgiving.
"Yuan Gong, what do you think?"
Xiahou Ji also felt that Cao Miao was very generous, and nodded with satisfaction. Cangji immediately thanked Xiahou Ji again, and then was taken out by Lao Song, changed into the short clothes of a miscellaneous servant, and immediately went to work, starting from Cao Miao's small courtyard.
Looking at the warehouse sweeping the yard with sweaty rain and unfamiliar movements, but with a very serious attitude, Cao Miao thought about it, and suddenly said to Xiahou Ji: "Yuan Gong, what do you think of this person?" ”
Xiahou Ji pondered for a moment. "Talent but no virtue."
"I remember that Emperor Wu issued an order to seek talents, which mentioned that he did not seek both ability and political integrity, but only sought people who could help in times of difficulty."
Xiahou Ji smacked his lips, a little embarrassed. The reasoning here is not complicated, but there are many issues involved. Whether he should explain to Cao Miao or not, and how much Cao Miao can understand, he is not sure. After weighing it repeatedly for a long time, he said carefully: "Emperor Wu also said that the rule of peace is virtuous, and there is a reward function......
Cao Miao snorted, raised her legs, and scraped her feet with the fan in her hand.
Xiahou Jizhen blushed and closed his mouth in disdain. The world is divided into three, Zhuge Liang invaded the border in the west at the beginning of the year, and Sun Quan just ambushed Cao Xiu in the east.
"Yuan Gong, you say, why do scholars read so many sage books, but there are still few gentlemen in the world, but hypocrites abound?"
Xiahou Ji was speechless.
"Because they're too idealistic." Cao Miao shook his fan and said unhurriedly: "The legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the rule of three generations, how can there be?" Even if there is, I'm afraid it's not what the book says. They have no doubt, accept it all, and then compare it with the present, naturally feel that the present is not as good as the past, and then criticize it vigorously, which is not right, that is not right, only let them be in power. ”
Xiahou Ji was thoughtful and silent.
Cao Miao took a sip of water and continued: "But if you really let them be in power, you will find that they are either incompetent and can't do anything for nothing." Either they are more corrupt officials than those corrupt officials, as long as it is beneficial to themselves, they will do anything shameless. As for the saints, they all read into the belly of a dog. ”
Cangji, who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard, was embarrassed, but he could only bow his head and pretend that he didn't hear anything.
Cao Miao smiled. "Wang Ji and the like are just Xiao Wuer. Those who occupy the position of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries and hide behind the scenes to make waves are the real witches. These people are not eliminated for a day, and the Great Wei River is unstable for a day. Wait for me to grab their tails, hehe, make sure they look good. ”
Cangji listened to it and couldn't help but glance at Cao Miao. Is this young man really crazy? He looks more awake than anyone else. What am I, what am Wang Ji, those who hide behind and give command are the real hypocrites. Wang Ji died, and he was forced to become a miscellaneous servant of the Yongqiu Palace, but those people were unharmed, and they were still moral gentlemen respected by everyone.
"Yunliang ......" Xiahou Ji wanted to speak and stopped. Cao Miao accused Sangong Jiuqing of being hypocrites, and the blow was too big. If you talk about it in private, it doesn't hurt, but in front of the cangji, if this spreads, the impact will be too great.
"Don't say it, don't say it, mention them and they will be angry." Cao Miao also put away the topic and turned to ask about Xiahou Xu's movements.
Xiahou Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but Cangji was a little stunned. He really wanted to hear how Cao Miao was going to deal with those people. You can't let those people take the benefits, and you will bear all the consequences. If you want to die, you should die together.
Suddenly, Kura Ji felt that the confession was not written in depth enough, and it should be polished again.
Cao Miao chatted with Xiahou Ji about the upcoming visit to Cao Su. Xiahou Ji reminded Cao Miao that Cao Su was born with divine powers, and he has been fighting with others since he was a child.
Cao Miao laughed and didn't say anything. He was very grateful for Xiahou Ji's reminder, but he felt that Xiahou Ji was too nervous. Great strength is a necessary condition for a master, but it is not a sufficient condition, there is still a considerable distance between a strong man and a master, or it is simply two species.
Besides, in terms of strength alone, Ah Hu is not false.
Self-confidence is self-confidence, and what should be prepared is still to prepare. Cao Miao inquired about Cao Su's achievements from Xiahou Ji, wrote down the list of those who had fought with Cao Su, and turned back to ask Shi Caiying to inquire.
After saying that, Xiahou Ji got up and said goodbye. He told Cao Miao that he would not come back in the near future. The first emperor had an order to prohibit the princes of the clan, although His Majesty was relaxed after he ascended the throne, and Cao Zhi, the king of Yongqiu, had grace, and no one dared to sue at the moment, but the ban was still there. When he came this time, he had filed a case with Zongzheng Temple in advance. Filing is cumbersome, and it will leave a record, so it's better to make less trouble.
Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Ji and sighed in his heart. This is the person who does great things, compared to Xiahou Ji, Xiahou Xu and others are really too bad at self-protection. Pretending to be crazy and pretending to be crazy, stepping on the edge of life and death to try frantically, he could only go all the way to the dark, but there was no need to implicate Xiahou's achievements.
"Have you figured out where to go?"
Xiahou Ji comprehended. He has always wanted to go into battle and command the army, and if he stays in Beijing, he will not have the opportunity to exercise. "I want to go to Guanzhong. The first eldest father (Xiahou Yuan) has a lot of old departments in Yongliang, maybe he can remember the old feelings and help a little. ”
Cao Miao's heart moved. "Then you can find a way to go to Chen Cang, maybe there will be a chance to make meritorious contributions."
Xiahou Ji glanced at Cao Miao in surprise and answered, but he didn't take it to heart. He's just planning now, and it's hard to say whether he can make it or not. When you arrive in Guanzhong, there is a high probability that you will stay with the general Cao Zhen, apprentice for a few years, go to the battlefield in person, or calm the side There are not many opportunities. As for Chen Cang, it was just a fortress, and it was unlikely that Cao Zhen would let him go.
