Chapter 22: Old Friends

Bian's illness was just as Yuan Yun guessed, when she saw the living Cao Pi, she immediately stopped lying in bed, but stayed by her son's side all day long, even Cao Cao himself could not see each other alone, as if she had become a tigress.

After handing over Cao Pi to the Bian family, Yuan Yun also felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter, but he didn't have to worry every day that Cao Pi would be taken away by Cao Ang's order, and then turn into a head in a box.

Looking at the side courtyard where he once lived in the Yecheng Palace, Yuan Yun still felt very uncomfortable, but at this moment, he couldn't leave to live in Yuan's mansion in Yecheng, because Cao Cao's instructions were very clear, and he would talk about things later.

"Lord, how will Cao Pi be punished?" Xiao Liu asked very boredly.

Seeing that Xiao Liu mentioned Cao Pi again, he knew that he was angry, after all, Cao Pi really wanted to kill all the Yuan clans, and for Xiao Liu, now the Yuan clan is the only place for him to live, and if someone wants to destroy it, they will naturally not spare it.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun smiled and said: "You always think about Cao Pi, it's really a big mistake, really to say it, although Cao Pi always wants to deal with us, but he hasn't really implemented it, many of them are ghosts made by Sima Yi, Xiaoliu, if you really want to target, you should be dissatisfied with that Sima Yi." ”

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he didn't want to dwell on this matter too much, and now Cao Pi is already abolished, even if he won't lose his life, but if he wants to make waves again, he has no chance, Cao Ang probably saw this and let Cao Pi go.

Soon, Cao Zhuang came to this side courtyard with a message from Cao Cao, but instead of summoning Yuan Yun, he was told that he needed to stay in the palace for a while.

Although Yuan Yun was a little surprised, since it was Cao Cao's arrangement, he could only obey, but he was not in a hurry to send Cao Zhuang away, but put the tea set away, and then beckoned the other party to taste the tea.

Cao Zhuang has always been very cautious, and he also abides by etiquette, and he will never sit at the same table with the marquis, so even if Yuan Yun sits cross-legged to make tea, he still stands on one side, and there is no half-point transgression.

Looking at Cao Zhuang, who was so respectful and law-abiding, Yuan Yun looked at Xiao Liu again, and felt that these generals of his family seemed to be more daring than the other, and compared with people like Cao Zhuang, they were even more powerful than him, Yuan Yun, the master.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yuncai asked Cao Zhuang: "With so many of us coming to Yecheng, how did Prime Minister Cao arrange his residence?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhuang immediately put down the tea bowl, then smiled and said, "Yuan Hou should be asking where Sima Yi lived, right?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "Since I can't hide it from Brother Cao Zhuang, then I won't hide it, I really want to know where Sima Yi lives, as for what to do next, I think everyone knows it." ”

Cao Zhuang nodded and said: "Sima Yi is indeed hateful, and he has done things to seek glory against the Lord, but this did save the life of Cao Ang's son, so Cao Cheng will no longer pursue the past things." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned again, he couldn't care about other things, but Sima Yi's killing of Cao Ren couldn't be justified, and where could such a thing be said to be in the past.

After being puzzled for a while, Yuan Yun asked again: "Is this really what Prime Minister Cao Cheng meant?" It's not going to settle accounts after the autumn or something, right? ”

Yuan Yun asked very directly, because the relationship with Cao Zhuang was quite different, and the man in front of him was definitely a person who could be trusted.

Cao Zhuang looked at Yuan Yun with a puzzled expression, and finally could only smile bitterly, and said: "Yuan Hou still don't ask, in short, what Xiao just said is true, Prime Minister Cao Cheng means not to investigate, and also instructed Cao Ang Shizi that it will be of great benefit to take Sima Yi to Luoyang." ”

Yuan Yun saw that Cao Zhuang was reluctant to say the details, and knew that there was no point in asking again, after all, Cao Zhuang's loyalty to Cao Cao was not something that Yuan Yun could replace him, since he didn't say the inside story, naturally Cao Cao had explained it behind his back.

After Cao Zhuang drank another cup of tea, he thanked him a few times and went home.

Yuan Yun sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the tea bowl on the tea table, and was silent for a while before he suddenly smiled, then shook his head and said, "Fuck me." ”

After scolding, Yuan Yun was in a much more relaxed mood, because now that the world is settled, Cao Pi and other forces are uprooted, which means that the internal stability is also stable, so what else is there to worry about?

On the second day, Cao Cao sent Cao Zhuang to deliver the post, indicating that the celebration ceremony would be held the day after tomorrow, and now the whole Yecheng is looking forward to this feast, the streets in the city are also very clean, and nearly 200,000 troops are stationed outside the city, all of whom are soldiers who followed Cao Cao's southern expedition this time.

Although I really want to see the excitement of Yecheng at the moment, Yuan Yun at this time seems to have been grounded, because he has to wait for Cao Cao's summons at any time, so he can't leave this side courtyard for half a step, but this old man has not been summoned for a long time.

In the middle of the afternoon of this day, I thought that the guests had arrived, it was Cheng Yu who had been absent for a long time, and now the wise man's hair was even grayer, and the wrinkles on his face were much more than in the past.

Looking at such an old Cheng Yu, Yuan Yun was puzzled for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Did Mr. Zhongde go through something, how did he become so ......?"

"Don't worry about the old man, hehe." Cheng Yu interrupted Yuan Yun halfway through his words, and then sat down on the tea table in the courtyard in a big way, and then said with a smile: "The old man wants to drink the best difference, and the vegetables and fruits are also served quickly." ”

Although Yuan Yun had many doubts in his heart, he still suppressed it, and then ordered the left and right to start preparing.

Cheng Yu waited for Yuan Yun to finish his work, and then smoothed his snow-white beard and said: "The old man is not tired, but too relaxed, the whole person is relaxed, resulting in looking like he is ten years old, this is a blessing, now the world is peaceful, the old man has resigned from Prime Minister Cao Cheng yesterday, and is ready to go around to play in the mountains and rivers, and live the life that an old man should live." ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he finally put his mind at ease, so he nodded and said: "Mr. Zhongde can go to Luoyang Academy to live for a while, Zheng Xuan and everyone are now lacking an opponent to play chess, and you two elders will definitely complement each other." ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "The old man has this intention, this time I came here to meet Yuan Hou first, and then the old man is about to leave for Luoyang." ”

After laughing, Cheng Yu suddenly turned pale, and then stretched out his right hand and said in a deep voice: "The benefits of the old man are brought quickly, when the new Luoyang was built, the old man did not make a small contribution, at that time Yuan Hou did not say that he would give the old man a piece of the pie, but now he wants to come to the old man to lose money, and he will have to rely on Yuan Hou to help him in the future." ”

Yuan Yun laughed when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Zhongde, why worry about these money and food, the contribution you have made in Luoyang is known to everyone, and the dividends you have in Luoyang naturally can't be missing, uh, you are old, as for giving money directly, this is too vulgar."

I heard that Cheng Wu and Cheng Yan in Mr. Zhongde's family are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and now Luoyang is in great need of talents, so it is better to let the two brothers go to Luoyang on an errand, and Cao Ang Shizi must be very happy about this matter. ”

Cheng Yu blew his beard fiercely, his face sank in an instant, and said: "The old man's two sons are not simple, Yuan Hou is greedy enough, both of them are in the past, the old man wants to take advantage of you, Yuan Hou is really the best businessman." ”

Yuan Yun still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly asked, "If Mr. Zhongde is not happy, then I won't mention this matter." ”】

Cheng Yu blew his beard again and said, "No, how can the gentleman go back on his word, the old man will let them go to see Cao Ang tomorrow to see what can help Luoyang." ”

After saying this, Cheng Yu didn't say much, but began to wait for Yuan Yun to brew tea, so as to enjoy the mastery of the Hou Ye in front of him, after a stick of incense, he got his wish, and he really seemed to enjoy it very much.

After a cup of tea, Cheng Yu said intentionally or unintentionally: "Luoyang is now full of talents, in addition to the old man's two sons, then Sima Yi is estimated to pass, this matter has been decided by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, so it's okay, with Sima Yi in Luoyang, you can suppress Yuan Hou, the Hou who jumped out." ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he immediately understood all the previous questions in his heart, why Cao Cao would let Sima Yi go, that is, to let this chess piece restrain him Yuan Yun, just like when Chen Qun was sent to Yizhou to supervise the war.

Now there are almost no more people in the Cao camp who don't deal with themselves, and there were Hua Xin and Yu Ban before, and now they can be regarded as settled, but no one expected that another Sima Yi would pop up, and it can be seen how worried Cao Cao is about him Yuan Yun.

Therefore, later generations said that Cao Cao's suspicion was very medium, which is probably related to his character of always adding insurance for everything.

Sima Yi is indeed different from other people sent in the past, because he seems to be the opposite of Yuan Yun by nature, and Cao Cao also saw this clearly, so he felt that letting such a person go to Luoyang could restrain Yuan Yun to the greatest extent, and he would definitely not be assimilated by Yuan Yun again.

Cheng Yu looked at Yuan Yun's face constantly changing, and also felt a little sorry, after all, Yuan Yun is a hero with outstanding achievements, without him to get out of Luoyang and cultivate the world's first gunpowder army, it is really impossible to estimate that the world wants to be pacified, such as after the peace today, but you have to take precautions everywhere, always be on guard, and it is really chilling.

After coughing slightly, Cheng Yucai said: "It's just Sima Yi, he has no foundation in Luoyang, and he has no manpower, even if he is very smart, he may not be able to compare with Yuan Hou, what are you afraid of?"

As long as Yuan Hou keeps his pace, he can do whatever he wants, and he will never let things go bad because of the existence of such a person, the old man is still sure of this. ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Since Mr. Zhongde said so, what else can I think about, Sima Yi will come, do I have the right to object." ”

"Hmph, if that kid doesn't deal with it in Luoyang, he will simply kill him with a knife, don't worry about Yuan boy, if you have little strength, you will leave it to Lao Tzu to do it, and ensure that one knife is halved." With the huge voice coming, Xu Chu and Xiahoudun had already walked into the small courtyard, and a young guard in the Yuan Mansion felt that he was not in harmony, and just wanted to step forward to stop him, but was directly kicked aside by Xu Chu.

Xu Chu was already sitting on the side of the teatable when he spoke, but before Yuan Yun prepared a cup for him, he had already grabbed the teapot and poured a big mouthful, and spit out after drinking, scolding that it was not as good as wine, which immediately aroused a burst of disdain from Xiahou Dian.

After arguing with Xiahoudun for a while, Xu Chu finally shifted his target, picked up Xiao Liu, who was waiting beside him, and then said in his high-decibel voice: "Hurry up and prepare wine, buns, hooves, back to the pot meat, cakes, by the way, there are bones boiled in a big pot......"

Yuan Yun saw that Xiao Liu was caught by Xu Chu in his hand just by taking a breath, and he felt very relieved, it was difficult to kick this guy on weekdays, but he couldn't avoid Xu Chu without wanting him.

Xiahoudun had already taken over Xiao Liu from Xu Chu at this time, and then waited for Xu Chu to say: "You just tell people to prepare a banquet, why bother to report so many dish names?" ”

Xu Chu rolled his eyes, immediately laughed, and then patted his belly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, the banquet is the banquet, let's have a banquet here today, the more lively the better!" ”
