Cao Cao lowered his head, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to let himself sit in the position of the Son of Heaven, even if the Son of Heaven had this idea in his heart, he would not accept it, if he was so old, he would worship the Situ and order the hundred officials, but he was afraid that tomorrow his Cao family would become a thorn in the heart of the hundred officials, a thorn in the eye, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly.

"Then, what if I worship you as the Great Si Nong?"

The Son of Heaven asked again.

Cao Cao raised his head and bowed again: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"Mengde can't be presumptuous, Mengde's talent is self-knowing..... Before the death of Emperor Xiaokang, Zeng said, Xing Ziang, Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande, and Yuan Benchu can be Situ.... I think so... Among these people, I love you alone, and I will be the great Sinon, so I will be a good student to assist Yuan Gong, so as to do my best for the king, and I will never treat you badly..."

Hearing the Son of Heaven say this, Cao Cao understood in his heart that the Son of Heaven wanted to worship himself as the Great Si Nong, and since the Son of Heaven had this idea, he could no longer continue to oppose it, and worshipped: "Obey Your Majesty's edict...."

"Your Majesty, this matter of the Japanese kingdom ....."

"You don't have to be anxious, the matter of the Japanese country, you still need to wait for He Youyou to connect and the place to prosper before you can do it...."

"Respectfully!"

Cao Cao talked with the Son of Heaven for a long time, the Son of Heaven asked about the situation of Sanhan, and asked Cao Cao some political opinions, which allowed him to leave, when he walked out of the palace, he still had some doubts in his heart, looking at the words of the Son of Heaven now, Xing Ziang obviously could not sit in the position of Wang Fu, if the Son of Heaven intended to worship Xing Ziang as Situ, I was afraid that he could also mix into Shangshutai.

However, he worships himself as the great Si Nong, so this Shangshutai, the Son of Heaven is obviously still unwilling to change, who is sitting in the position of Situ?

When Cao Cao left, the Son of Heaven whispered, "Come in...."

Xun Yu and Guo Jia walked in through the side door and sat beside the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu frowned and asked, "Your Majesty is unwilling to let Xing Gong be the Situ?" The Son of Heaven frowned, no words, Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu disdainfully, and did not ask questions, seeing Guo Jia's appearance, Xun Yu was a little annoyed in his heart, and asked, "What does Feng Xiao have any opinions?" ”

"Heh..."Guo Jia turned his head away and ignored him.

The Son of Heaven coughed and said: "Xing Jun is a noble man, but his actions are a little pedantic, he can be a scholar, but he can't be a Situ.... To take the position of Situ, not only must have a strategy for governing the country, but also have outstanding courage, Xing Jun is content with the status quo, I am afraid, it is difficult to undertake this responsibility..."

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "That.... Your Majesty wants Cui Gong as Situ? ”

The Son of Heaven was startled, turned his head, looked at Xun Yu deeply, without words, smiled, Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and shook his head, he was still young.

And Xun Yu saw the expression of the Son of Heaven, and suddenly understood in his heart that he had guessed correctly, and said with a smile: "Cui Gong, although he is sloppy and practical, he is long and strategic, and knowledgeable... If he is Situ, he can not interrupt the prince's innovation..."

At this time, Guo Jia, who was a disciple of the prince, gradually became solemn, nodded, and said: "Shijun once said that there are only one and a half people who can understand his latent husband theory now, and that one is Cui Yu.....

"Who's that half?" Xun Yu asked with some curiosity.

Guo Jia said solemnly: "It is under it, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao." ”

The three of them talked for a while, Xun Yu and Guo Jia left, the Son of Heaven watched them leave, but he didn't know what he was thinking, Xun Yu and Guo Jia have now become his left and right hands, both of them are leading the servants, that is to say, they can meet the Son of Heaven at any time, and they can talk to the Son of Heaven, which is a power that hundreds of officials can't ask for, but the two are not very compatible.

Xun Yu was stubborn when he was young, but now, he has also grown into a handsome son, worthy of his family background, and his behavior is also quite stylish, but he still has that arrogance in his heart, after all, he has the name of a prodigy since he was a child, and he is the youngest person in the crown of the scientific assessment, and he has such a huge background as Xun's, and the Son of Heaven is also very good friends with him.

But Guo Jia is the same, he worshiped under Wang Fu at a young age, deeply influenced by Wang Fu, and is four crowns in a row, unparalleled in the world, the Son of Heaven and him are also friendly, which leads to competition between the two, the Son of Heaven is not against such competition, as the Son of Heaven, he hopes to see some contradictions between the ministers, rather than a group of harmony.

If Xun Yu and Guo Jia stick together all day long and introduce each other as confidants, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will not dare to keep them by his side and reuse them.

The next day, the Son of Heaven convened a court meeting.

The ministers led by Xing Ziang, walked into the hall, these days, Xing Ziang gathered around a large number of ministers, after the loss of Wang Fu, Xing Ziang is the most likely to become Situ, and Xing Ziang has always been friendly with them, they are all eager to hope that Xing Ziang can become Situ as soon as possible, change the evil government implemented by Wang Fu, and make the temple clear again.

Of course, by the side of Yuan Feng and Cai Yong, there are also a group of supporters, Yuan Feng is because of his hard work, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is outside, so many people think that he can enter the position of Situ, but they don't know that it is precisely because of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao that it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to make him Situ, otherwise, wouldn't the power of the Yuan family be uncontrollable?

There is Yuan Shu leading the army outside, Yuan Shao is the pastor, and there are Yuan Fengling hundreds of officials inside.... Of course, this is not a no-go.

The other is Cai Yong, Cai Yong is the son of heaven, now looking at it, Cai Meiren is likely to be the queen, Cai Yong is a famous minister in the world, as Situ, it is naturally the most suitable, but the Son of Heaven does not want the Han to have relatives again, Cai Yong, he will reuse, but he will definitely not let him interfere in political affairs, he can manage the students, and drive the literary style of the Han Dynasty, it is enough.

The Son of Heaven walked in without hurry and sat on the top seat.

Looking down at the hundred officials, Xing Ziang led the ministers to meet the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven nodded.

"Your Majesty! Please cook the king...."

The minister spoke, but suddenly became confused, looked around, seemed to have reacted, and was stunned for a long time before returning to his place in silence.

"Ugh...."

Among the ministers, there was a sigh from time to time, there was no Wang Jiexin in the court, and the officials were not as happy as expected, on the contrary, they were a little uncomfortable... Looking at the lonely expression of the hundred officials, the Son of Heaven also stiffened his face and said, "Where is Cui Gong?" ”

Cui Wei among the ministers was stunned, raised his head, and walked to the center, he didn't show much talent on weekdays, that is, he wrote essays and praised the Son of Heaven, relying on this ability, he also successfully became the oldest minister among the hundred officials, and survived a large number of old ministers, the first to follow Emperor Xiaokang, it seems that he and Cao Song are the only ones left.

The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "I want to worship the prince as Situ...."

When Cui Wei heard this, his mouth opened wide, and the ministers were even more incredulous, Cui Wei? Just the thief who can only write flattery? One of the eleven thieves in Jianning? How could he be a Situ? Later, they thought that Wang Fu could be a Situ like him, and it seemed that Cui Wei was no problem.

Cui Wei frowned and said, "How can the old minister be able to occupy the position of Situ?" Belong to the Three Publics? ”

Hey, your sycophants are good, the ministers thought with some disdain.

"The public work "Political Commentary" shocked the world, and "Four Peoples Moon Order" is even more beneficial to all generations... He also treated the snow disaster in the north, so that the people of Youhe have not suffered for three years, and the merit is so high that it is enough for Situ Ye, and the public should not shirk! The Son of Heaven got up and bowed cautiously.

Cui Wei hurriedly returned the salute, the Son of Heaven was so polite, he couldn't shirk it anymore, and arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The ministers congratulated him, the Son of Heaven looked at Xing Ziang again, Xing Ziang was not half annoyed by this matter, and smiled, he didn't value high-ranking officials and Houlu, Cui Yuzhi's talent, he knew, if Cui Gong could make the country more prosperous and the people richer, he would never obstruct him at all, seeing him like this, the Son of Heaven seemed to have some relaxation in his heart.

He asked again, "Where is Cao Jun?" ”

Since it is a king, it is natural to say that it is the three Han orders Cao Cao, Cao Cao got up, walked to the center, and bowed his hand and said: "The minister is here...."

"Zheng Gong...."

"The minister is here..."

The Son of Heaven said: "Zheng Gong is quite old, I can't bear to make him tired, ask for advice to learn from the sect, teach menstrual blood knowledge, cultivate the country's talents, and regard it as a ..... in the position of the three dukes", Zheng Xuan frowned, indeed, compared to the miscellaneous affairs in the country, he is still more interested in learning, can govern menstrual blood, cultivate his own protégés, and promote Confucianism, he is not unhappy.

It's just that he was still a little unhappy in his heart, looked at Cao Cao, and thought, could it be that I am not as good as this descendant?

Subsequently, Cao Cao immediately took over Zheng Xuan's position and became Si Nong, which was also something that the hundred officials did not expect, among the hundred officials, only Cao Song, was extremely happy, and looked at Yuan Feng with some pride, he and Yuan Feng were not very friendly, although their children were friends, on weekdays, because of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Yuan Feng showed off and was complacent.

Now, Cao Cao directly entered the temple and was firmly in the upper echelons, which made Cao Song naturally extremely happy, seeing him like this, Yuan Feng glared at him fiercely, don't look around, Cao Song grinned, after Cao Cao became Si Nong, he also returned to his position very respectfully, this attitude made Baiguan feel better, and so did Situ Cuiyu.

When the Son of Heaven asked him how to act now, he just shook his head and said, "It's just right for now, it's okay as usual." ”

It seems that there is no intention to continue Wang Fu's new policy, which makes the hundred officials also agree with this new Situ.

At the end of the court discussion, Cao Song did not avoid suspicion, and directly pulled Cao Cao to his side, smiled, walked beside him, kept praising and praising him, deliberately showing off to everyone, seeing his father like this, Cao Cao said helplessly: "Father... That's why I'm the big Si Nong... This..."

"Hey, so what? You are a great Situ, not because you are my son, but because of your talent, because of the wisdom of the Son of Heaven.... Don't you know how arrogant Yuan Feng was after Yuan Shu became a lieutenant, showing off in front of me all day long... Today, we should also let him see whose child is more promising..."

"Hahaha, can you see that when he walked out of the palace just now, his whole face was black!"

Cao Song said happily, Cao Cao knew that because of his background, Cao Song and hundreds of officials couldn't get along, especially Yuan Feng, Yuan Feng was born in a big family, and Cao Song after the eunuch had a long-standing grudge, although the two did not abuse and fight, but in the open and private, they were constantly fighting, Yuan Feng wanted to become a commonplace, Cao Song was against it with all his might, and Cao Song wanted to become a captain, Yuan Feng tried his best to stop it.

Cao Cao had a good relationship with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and he didn't want to see Cao Song continue to have a bad relationship with Yuan Feng, so after thinking about it, he said, "Father... Do you know that I am the Great Si Nong, but I am a vassal... Now that my father has hated Sikong, won't I be trapped and Sikong in the future? After all, it's my Shangguan...", Cao Song was stunned when he heard Cao Cao say this.

Mom, why did you forget, isn't this Si Nong under the control of Sikong?

He was sneering at Yuan Feng just now, Cao Song's eyes widened, causing the groom to stop, and asked with some concern: "I actually forgot about this, how should this be good?" Otherwise, I'll take you to Sikong Mansion right now... Have a good word...? ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Father doesn't have to be like this, Yuan Sikong is not a villain... In the future, the father should not have any more evil relations with him, and there is only one way for the child to be... Father, you are also over half a hundred years old, and with me at home, you can live and recuperate... If you can't do it, you will resign and go home..."

"Hey, if you become a Si Nong, you don't take me seriously? No, no, I can't go now....."

"Father, why bother about that high-ranking official?" Cao Cao asked helplessly.

Cao Song grimaced, shook his head, and said, "I can't go home yet...."

Cao Cao saw that he was so resolute, so he didn't persuade him again.

You are still young, the temple is deep, if I leave, who will shelter from the wind and rain?

Back in the mansion, Cao Song asked Cao Cao to rest and prepare to go to Sikong Mansion tomorrow, talk to Yuan Feng, don't make enemies with him, and after a long time, he let Cao Cao leave, and after half an hour, Cao Song called the steward and asked in a low voice: "Has Da Lang ever slept?" ”

"The young head of the family has rested...."

Cao Song nodded and said, "Prepare gifts, prepare horses, I'm going to visit my old friend...."

The steward was stunned for a moment, and immediately made preparations, and it didn't take long for Cao Song to quietly leave the mansion, through the prosperous streets of Luoyang, and came to a luxurious mansion, Cao Song raised his head, looked at the word "Yuan", without the slightest hesitation, got out of the car, and knocked on the door.

A slave walked out, saw Cao Song, bowed, Cao Song smiled and said: "I hope you will tell Yuan Gong, just say that Dahonglu Cao Song wants to see.."

The slave was stunned, although he didn't know Cao Song, but he also knew that this Cao Song seemed to have never been at odds with his master, and after the head of the family returned today, he was still scolding this person, why did this person come to visit? Still so respectful?

The slave didn't dare to be rude to Jiuqing, and after worshipping, he would go back to life.

Cao Song waited outside the door, and after a while, the servant walked out, but his face became a little unkind, and he said with a cold face: "My master is asleep, and there is no guest..."

"Haha, can you scream, the old man really has something urgent to see...."Cao Song said with a smile, and the servant said unceremoniously: "No, I will wait for you, and when the master of the house wakes up, I will see you again...", after speaking, he closed the door directly.

Cao Song looked at the door a little helplessly, but the steward behind him was furious and said, "Family master, you are also one of the Jiuqing, how can you accept such a shame!" I'll go in! ”

"Don't be rude!" Cao Song said unhappily, sighed, and said, "We'll wait here... If he is embarrassed tomorrow... How is this good....", Cao Song sat in the carriage, looked at the closed door, and waited anxiously, it was rainy in Luoyang, and it was raining lightly at the moment, Cao Song asked the steward to sit in the carriage together, but the steward did not dare.

There was no one on the side of the road, and after nearly an hour, the slave opened the door, looked around, and saw Cao Song in the distance, he was also stunned, and arched his hand and said, "The master of the house is invited...."

Cao Song trembled, stepped down from the carriage, and said, "Bring a gift...."

When the pale Cao Song walked in with a smile, Yuan Feng was reading a book in the study, Cao Song sat in front of him, looking at him, Yuan Feng put down the book, and said with some disdain: "Cao Gong came, the mansion is honored...."

"Hahaha, presumptuous, presumptuous, before, it was my Cao Song who didn't know how to be polite and embarrassed by Yuan Gong, today, I came to apologize, and I hope Yuan Gong doesn't care... In the future...."

"Huh? That's not the case with Gong Cao... In the temple, I see that you are even majestic..."

"After the eunuchs, can they be so presumptuous in the temple?"

Yuan Feng was so insulted, but Cao Song still smiled and said, "Yuan Gong said that he was laughing, I know that I am wrong...."

"Why, your son of the Great Si Nong, can't make you straight?"

"Yuan Gong, my child, different from me, different, he has been easy for Yuan Gong and the two sons to make friends since he was a child, he is a friend, and he loves the party and castrates fiercely, and he went to Sanhan, and there has been no dereliction of duty, in the future, he served as a Sinon, and he was under Yuan Gong, and I hope that Yuan Gong should not care, he can take care of one or two, my erection, he is the most fond of making friends with the party... He..."

"Okay..."Yuan Feng said, looking at Cao Song who was constantly explaining in front of him, his heart softened, and he said helplessly: "Cao Gong, there is no need to be like this, Meng De's talent, I know, and I will definitely not embarrass him because of personal grudges, Cao Gong can leave with confidence..."

"Thank you Gong Yuan!"

"Bo Li still hope to accept..."

Cao Song smiled.

The next day, Cao Cao woke up, still excited about the matter of Dasi Nong, ate food, and came to say goodbye to his father.

Cao Song sat in front of the desk, hunched over, with gray hair, looking at the book with difficulty.

Cao Cao walked in, bowed, and said with a smile: "Dasi Nong Cao Cao, I am going to Sikong Mansion to say goodbye to Da Honglu!" ”

"Okay, good...."Cao Song smiled.

After Cao Cao said goodbye, he was leaving.

"Oh Lang... When I went to Sikong Mansion, don't have a bad relationship with Yuan Feng, so I listened to his orders... Don't be impatient... If something happens, go back to me quickly, and don't do it yourself..."

"Alright, alright, the child knows!" Cao Cao interrupted Cao Song angrily, raised his head, and left Cao's mansion proudly.

Hey, Father, it's all good there, but he loves the official position too much, and he is timid and afraid of things, so how can he leave his name in history and become an important minister of the country?

Cao Cao shook his head, thinking to himself.

Looking at Cao Cao's distant back, Cao Song just stared blankly and didn't say anything for a long time.
