Chapter 6 The Covenant of Kwai Autumn, Do Not Take a Concubine as a Wife
"Your nephew's daughter married Empress Song's brother-in-law as a concubine, and now the Empress Song case has been brought up again, what does Your Majesty mean by the Zhulian Nine Clans? Where else is there a turnaround? Cao Jie's tone was stern, and he couldn't stop sighing...
Turn? More than anyone else, he wants to see a turnaround...
Cao Song was supported by him, colluding with each other inside and outside the palace, and making a lot of money. Lost the external force of Cao Song? Where to find such a person again? It is for this reason that in his words, Cao Jie has a taste of hatred for iron and steel...
"Dude..."
Cao Jie still frowned, but he had a feeling of breaking the jar. "I'm here to give you a heads up... If the day comes, I will do my best to protect your grandson, Cao Ang... It's not in vain that we've been in love all these years..."
The sound is low... Cao Jie, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, said this, which shows that the development of the situation is far more serious than the rumors.
At this moment, on Cao Song's forehead, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down like rain... The whole person also became frightened and panicked, and he really lost all the games by accident... Stealing chickens does not make rice, climbing dragons and phoenixes? In the end, it was self-inflicted!
Whatever... Annoyed for a moment, Cao Song gasped, and his mood became a little calmer... At the very least, the incense of the Cao family is still there! Ang'er is still there...
Belch....
Suddenly, Cao Song seemed to think of something again...", and so on. ”
Cao Jie was slightly stunned, and then spread his hands, making a look of helplessness.
Cao Song's gaze became firm, and the words in his mouth came one after another. "Lord Cao, Cao Hou, Cao Da Changqiu... If it really comes to the point of raiding the house and being exiled, I hope that apart from my grandson Cao Ang, you can save one more person..."
"Your son Cao Cao, but our family's rival..."Cao Jie waved his hand, as if he had anticipated Cao Song's words..."Our family is not going to protect him!"
"No, it's not Wu'er Mengde!"
"Huh? Who's that? Cao Song's words made Cao Jie slightly surprised... In Cao Song's heart? Anyone? Heavier than Cao Cao's position? At the moment, Cao Jie was still a little curious.
"I also have a grandson named Cao Shuo... He was only six years old. Cao Song pronounced Cao Shuo's name very firmly. My father had a last word, to let the Cao family incense continue... Cao Ang, Cao Shuo, these two grandchildren are the incense of the Cao family, Lord Cao, Cao Hou... For the sake of our fathers, keep them. If one day... Your Majesty found out that there was any mistake in the accounts of the treasury, and I, Cao Song, will bear it! ”
Cao Song, who has been in the sea for many years, knows very well... It's useless to just ask, all he has to do is to replace, to take all the blame... In exchange for the safety of his two grandchildren.
Of course, as a father, he also wants to protect his son Cao Cao, but now... The Cao family is facing raids, exile and even annihilation... There's really nothing he can do.
"You... You..."Cao Jie pointed to Cao Song's head. "Good and dignified, why do you want to marry your niece to the Song family as a concubine? Adore the rising sun! Outsmart oneself! Stupidity! Stupidity! ”
Cao Song's wrong move laid the root of the Cao family, and also made Cao Jie's painstaking layout go to waste... In his opinion, this is a golden coin!
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Jie couldn't help but want to open his mouth and scold Cao Song again... But at this time, the crisp and childish sound of reading came from the living room of the first emperor.
"This..."
Suddenly, Cao Song's whole person became alert... He clearly told everyone not to enter this courtyard, but... The sound did come from inside the attic.
Someone in the house? That... This conversation between him and Cao Jie... Aren't they all heard?
Cao Song frowned, and his already pale face suddenly became as white as paper... This conversation is very important! If it is listened to by those who have a heart... The consequences are unimaginable!
Wait a minute... This voice?
Suddenly, Cao Song realized that this voice was very familiar... Childish, crisp, seems to be... It's the voice of his grandson Cao Shuo! This... He accompanies Cao Shuo every day, and he will never admit his mistake.
But?
Why is Cao Shuo here? What was he reading?
As soon as he thought of this, countless question marks floated on Cao Song's head one after another.
"Lord Cao Jie..."Cao Song turned to Cao Jie, wanting to plead guilty... Without thinking, Cao Jie hurriedly stretched out his index finger and made a "shhhh Cao Jie's ears pricked up, and he lowered his voice, and was carefully listening to the sound coming from the room. In Cao Song's memory, the high-spirited Cao Jie listened so patiently? Or for the first time.
Lang Lang's reading sound is like a trickle... Leisurely passed into the ears of Cao Song and Cao Jie.
- "No Yongquan, no scum, no easy tree, no concubine, no concubine, no woman in the ...... of state affairs"
Obscure words form catchy words, and they come out one by one, which seems to be ancient texts?
Not... Classical Chinese?
Cao Song and Cao Jie both have extremely high attainments in literature, one was a doctor of the academy, and the other was a protégé of the "article" eunuch Cao Teng... How could they not recognize this strange ancient text?
This childish childish voice chanted the "Legend of the Liang of the Spring and Autumn Valley", which was the "Covenant of Kwai Qiu" signed by Guan Zhong in the Kwai Qiu Association during the Spring and Autumn Period, and announced five terms in the name of Zhou Tianzi - vassal states cannot intercept the flow and build dams; You can't hoard food; You can't just change the crown prince; It is not possible to straighten a concubine as a wife; Women cannot be allowed to participate in state affairs.
You must know that the terms of the "Covenant of Kwai Hill" maintain the royal power, even in the Eastern Han Dynasty... All of them have been inherited and used, and they are regarded as classics by Confucianism.
Cao Song patted his head...
Although he was amazed that his six-year-old grandson Cao Shuo was able to read such a difficult Confucian work as "The Biography of the Liang of the Spring and Autumn Valley"...
But... Why is Cao Jie, who has always been high-spirited, so fascinated by it? Isn't that weird?
The atmosphere became silent at the time of arrival... In the entire pavilion, only the voice of his grandson Cao Shuo echoed loudly...
One breath, two breaths... Ten breaths...
It took a full ten breaths for Cao Jie's thoughts to retract from the nine clouds... He exclaimed, "Don't take a concubine as a wife... What a concubine as a wife! Cao Jie chanted out loudly... The whole person looked quite excited.
He has always been shrewd, and his brain is even more active, from such a sentence, he found the key to breaking the game!
Hahaha...
In an instant, Cao Jie laughed out loud, he put his shoulders on Cao Song's body, and hurriedly asked. "Who's in this room?"
"It's... It's Meng De's second son, the other grandson I just mentioned—Cao Shuo..."Cao Song replied.
"Hahaha!" Cao Jie laughed out loud, "This stunned young Cao Cao... It's not good to be an official or a person, but it's quite good at giving birth to a son... Ha ha... He gave birth to a good son! After that, Cao Jie laughed again...
At this time, Cao Song was stunned... How do you feel that the atmosphere is a little strange? Just now, I was still frowning, and I wanted to scold him for a bloody Cao Jie? How did it change all of a sudden? Only... Just because of a "Spring and Autumn Valley Liang Biography"?
Doubt? Indissoluble? There are more and more question marks on Cao Song's head... Cao Jie couldn't stop smiling, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and seeing Cao Song's confused face, he reminded again: "Cao Dasi Nong... Don't take a concubine as a wife, don't take a concubine as a wife! ”
Belch... This?
Cao Song also began to ponder, and his grandson Cao Shuo read this sentence aloud...
Don't take a concubine as a wife? Isn't it just that you can't straighten your concubine as a wife? Elder and younger? Orderly? What's so funny about that? What does it have to do with Meng Dehui having a son?
Shout... Don't take a concubine as a wife?
Wait a minute...
Suddenly, Cao Song pondered a hint of taste, concubine? Wife? … The elder and the young are respectful, the noble and the lowly are orderly... Concubine! Wife! For a while, Cao Song's originally frowning brows eased in an instant, and the tension and panic in his body suddenly turned into relief and relief.
Call... With a long exhalation, the stone hanging in my heart finally landed safely.
Ha ha... Refreshing, laughing, Cao Song laughed out loud regardless of the image. Cao Jie saw him laugh and put his other hand on his shoulder... Look at each other and laugh for a long time.
It turned out that Cao Song and Cao Jie both found a turning point from Cao Shuo's sentence "Don't take a concubine as a wife"... found the key to breaking the "Empress Song case".
In ancient times, a wife was a wife, the head of a family; A concubine is a concubine, a slave, a servant... The ancients paid attention to not being able to straighten the concubine as a wife, in addition to strictly defining the humble status of the concubine... There is another meaning, the concubine is not really a person who belongs to the family.
Cao Song's niece Cao Ying married the younger brother of the Empress Song as a concubine... Yes, for concubines!
Since ancient times, in every dynasty and generation, the family members of the concubines have never been within the scope of the nine clans... In other words, the case of Empress Song, even if it is the nine clans... The Cao family is completely able to clear up the involvement, and it is upright and will not leave a trace of leverage.
Thinking about this section, I don't blame Cao Jie and Cao Song for laughing heartily.
"Hahaha..."
Cao Jie's eyes almost narrowed into a slit... Cao Song was saved, and his help outside the palace was saved... When the limelight passes, there is always a way to reinstate Cao Songguan.
Thinking of this, Cao Jie looked at the room in front of him faintly... The former residence of godfather Cao Teng and the former emperor Liu Bao, but what comes to mind is Cao Shuo's name. "Dude...", his tone towards Cao Song became a lot more polite. Let me meet, your precious grandson Cao Shuo! ”
