Chapter 304: Cao Song's death
At the banquet, Cao Cao suddenly threw a sensitive question to Jia Xu.
"Mr. Wenhe, in your opinion, Cao wants to place the Son of Heaven in Puyang and rebuild the prestige of the imperial court, is this move good or not?"
Jia Xu took a sip of water, shook his head gently, and said, "It's not good." ”
Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Oh? Why? ”
Jia Xu said slowly: "The terrain of Puyang is north, and Baima, Liyang and other places are very close, it is not peaceful, it is better to move south, it is best to move to the south, it is best to be in the realm of Yuzhou, so that the Son of Heaven can be safer......"
When the words fell, Xun Yu immediately clapped his hands and praised, and said: "What Wen Hegong said coincides with a certain opinion. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a middle-aged scribe stand up and say to Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenruo and Mr. Wenhe say this, forgive Chen for not agreeing!" In the land of Yuzhou, yellow turbans are numerous, thieves are everywhere, and people who stand in the mountains and villages abound, especially the Gepi yellow turban thieves still exist! If the Son of Heaven moves south, won't he enter the den of tigers and wolves? Puyang is the ancient emperor's hill, one of the five emperors of Zhuan Xuan once took this as the capital, has always had the reputation of heaven, and has a long history, it is really the land of Longxing, give up this treasure land, what hope is there? ”
Jia Xu turned his head to look over, nodded politely, and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”
"At the Chen Palace in Lower East County."
Jia Xu nodded suddenly, and probably had a number in his heart.
Xun Yu is a native of Yingchuan, and moving the Son of Heaven south to Yuzhou is naturally what he sees the most.
And Chen Gong is a native of Dongjun, and for the sake of being one of the representatives of the local scholars in Yanzhou, let the Son of Heaven build the capital in Puyang, which is naturally the dream of the Yanzhou scholars.
As for what thieves are not thieves, dragons are not dragons, they are all.
To put it bluntly, it is just the collision of political contradictions between the Yanzhou Shi Group and the Yuzhou Shi Group.
As an old fox, he is naturally reluctant to get involved in the competition for political resources between the two states.
After Jia Xu figured it out, he immediately smiled and said, "The old man was just drunk, and the matter of the Son of Heaven moving south was mentioned casually by the old man, you don't have to take it seriously...... Go on, you go on. ”
Xun You and Cheng Yu glanced at each other helplessly.
This old man lied and really came with his mouth open, and he was drunk?
Have you ever seen someone who can drink cold and white water and make himself high?
Chen Deng saw that Jia Xu was retreating, and he didn't give in, and directly said to Cao Cao: "The foundation of the lord is in Yanzhou, if the Son of Heaven is moved south, and the power is not solid, wouldn't it be a move to sacrifice the capital?" I hope the lord will think twice! ”
Xun Yu stroked his beard, shook his head with a smile and said: "What Gongtai said is not right, Puyang is close to the north, and all sides are strong neighbors, so it is not wise to place the Son of Heaven here." ”
Chen Gong sneered when he heard this: "Xun Wenruo, your words are really ridiculous! What is a strong neighbor in the Quartet, but Yuan Shao is alone, and Yuan Ben and my lord are allies, so what's the obstacle? ”
Xun Yu sighed: "Gongtai's words are inevitably small, how can there be any real allies in this world now?" Where is there so much heart-to-heart friendship? Yuan Shao and my lord are allies today, but can we guarantee that he will not have any plans in the future? Yuan Shao's ambition is not small, and it will become a climate after a long time! Even if the yellow scarves are everywhere in Yuzhou, in Yu's opinion, they are just scabies...... At least it's much stronger than putting the Son of Heaven under Yuan Shao's nose. ”
Chen Gong had a violent temper, and Xun Yu's words were a little demeaningful, so he immediately became anxious.
Chen Gongfang was about to refute, but saw Cao Cao suddenly reach out and pat the table, signaling the two to stop arguing.
"Alright, alright! Say no more! Cao Mou has his own ideas about this matter in the future. ”
Xun Yu was very obedient, and seeing that Cao Cao didn't want to continue to discuss this matter in depth, he immediately sat down with his hands over, and he could afford to take it.
But obviously, Chen Gong is not as chic and free as Xun Yulai in terms of looking at people's faces.
"Lord, Chen has another matter, I want to ask the lord's grace to allow it."
Seeing Chen Gong so stubbornly pleading with him, Cao Cao's head hurt a little.
He probably guessed what Chen Gong wanted to say.
But Cao Cao will never agree to this matter!
"Gongtai, today is a celebration banquet, if there is anything, let's talk about it in detail on a certain day." Cao Cao snorted haha and wanted to lift this one over.
But it was clear that Chen Gong didn't want to give Cao Cao and the mud a chance.
"Lord, I heard that some time ago, the lord sent Bian Wenli to prison pending trial, this incident shocked all counties in Yanzhou, I don't know what crime Bian Rang committed, and he actually ordered the lord to work?" Chen Gong didn't care about Cao Cao's face at all, and directly inquired.
Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Chen Gong's reckless way, but his words had already been said in front of everyone, and Cao Cao couldn't help but answer, otherwise it would be as if he had a ghost in his heart.
"Bian Rang privately conspired with others to secretly govern the state, it seems that there is something wrong, Cao Mou has been reported by an informant, and it has not yet been verified, so let's send someone to detain him first, just wait for it to be investigated, and return him to a clean house, what is the public station anxious about."
Chen Gongyi said righteously: "Bian Wenli is the first scholar in Yanzhou, the head of the scholar clan, his talent and discipline are extremely high, there is no bad courtesy, and there is no bad motive, this matter must be framed, and please ask the lord to investigate it in detail." ”
Cao Cao smiled and comforted Chen Gong: "What kind of person is Bian Wenli, Cao naturally knows it in his heart, the public station doesn't have to worry, Cao temporarily detained him, just to block the mouth of the people, after verification, he will return his innocence, you can rest assured." ”
When Chen Deng saw Cao Cao say this, it was not good to continue to say anything.
In his subconscious, Cao Jian was the assassin of Yanzhou, and he would definitely not treat the number one scholar in the Yanzhou clan as well.
But the question is, Cao Cao, as the number one hero in the world, how can he do things as others expected?
……
……
After the feast had dispersed, everyone parted their respects.
Cao Cao drank a lot today, and he should have gone back to his room to rest immediately, but he didn't go to sleep in a hurry, but went to the study and sent someone to find his cousin Cao Chun.
When he was young, Cao Chun entered Cao Cao's study.
"Did you make a move?"
As soon as he saw Cao Chun, Cao Cao was not polite, and asked directly.
Cao Chun shook his head and said, "He naturally refuses to recruit." ”
Cao Cao gently tapped the table with his hand, frowned, and said, "If he doesn't recruit, don't you have a way to let him recruit?" For so many years, Guanghui will lead the troops to train the troops, and the brain is dull. ”
A smile hung on the corner of Cao Chun's mouth, and he said in a low voice: "Although he refuses to confess, but my brother has hired the new one to engage in full pet, but there are some ruthless methods, some torture, and directly make Bian Rang half dead, let me let the soldier hold his hand and press down the blood!" Does this count as a trick? ”
Cao Cao said in his heart that this is not a move, what is a move? Cao Chun, this kid, actually went around with me.
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have done a good job in this matter...... Bian let this guy secretly bend Yuan Shu! He thought that Cao was trying his best to deal with Dong Zhuo and had no time to care about him, hum! It's really a rotten Confucian! This guy is very disrespectful to Cao on weekdays, and I can't bear him for a day or two! ”
Cao Chun stepped forward and said ruthlessly: "Big brother, it's just a sour Confucian, what are you afraid of him doing?" He is disrespectful to his eldest brother, and I will cut him down with one sword! Why do you need to waste such a big setback? It's prison and framed again! ”
Cao Cao waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Chun, you don't understand this, for many years in my dynasty, the political authority of the world has been controlled by eunuchs, relatives, or scholars in turn, many local big clan forces have deep roots, not comparable to leisure, Bian Rang is the leader of the Yanzhou Shi clan, don't look at the white body now, but in fact, he has the ability to secretly resist for his brother, and he has recruited him many times for his brother, but he doesn't follow, so he can only kill him to prevent future troubles!" ”
Speaking of this, he saw Cao Cao's patience and vigorously taught Cao Chundao: "But killing people is not the same as fighting, when fighting, the enemy army can be slaughtered, but killing people ...... In particular, the killer clan cannot be killed in vain...... There must be real evidence to block the mouth of the world, even so, Cao still doesn't want Bian Rang to die in my hands, after all, his prestige in Yanzhou is really high. ”
Cao Chun raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a long time, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What the eldest brother meant, the younger brother understands! The younger brother tried to find a way to let Bian Rang 'commit suicide in fear of crime' in prison, so that his death had nothing to do with the eldest brother. ”
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, good, this is the best." ”
Just when the two brothers were secretly thinking about these unspeakable secrets, outside the foyer, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded.
When I was young, I heard someone knocking Cao Cao's door.
"My lord, something is wrong! Something has happened! ”
Cao Cao was talking happily with Cao Chun, and was slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, and said: "Which one has no rules, and actually slammed the door!" What are you panicking about? What a fuss can there be! ”
"Bao Zhong and Bao Tao, who went to pick up the old lady, came back alone, they were not lightly injured, and they seemed to have experienced a vicious battle!"
Cao Cao was suddenly startled when he heard this, and his face turned pale in an instant.
A bad premonition surged into Cao Cao's heart in an instant.
Cao Chun was also a little panicked.
"Big brother, it won't be uncle...... Something happened, right? ”
