Lingyun Pavilion was full of friends, all of whom were guests who came to congratulate Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo entered Lingyun Pavilion with a large group of people, and Lingyun Pavilion announced that it would not accept individual guests that day.

Quite a few people who came here to have fun were kept out.

At first, they were still shouting for the steward to come out and speak, but when they learned that Cao Shuo had taken over the entire restaurant, these people didn't dare to make trouble and retreated.

Although the news that Cao Shuo was canonized as the king of Huainan had spread in Xudu, some people still did not know about it.

After being blocked from the door, a good thing man asked the samurai who stopped them, "What kind of happy event has you encountered, eldest son?" How did you wrap up the entire Lingyun Pavilion? ”

"Happy event?" The guard pursed his lips and said with some contempt: "The eldest son was canonized as the king of Huainan, do you say it is a happy event?" ”

"Was it because of the crusade against the Huns that he was canonized?" The man who asked asked asked again.

"You ask me, where do I know?" The warrior said angrily: "We are guarding the door in Lingyun Pavilion, if you want to ask, go ask them!" ”

The samurai muttered to the two guards standing in the inner doorway.

Those two were the guards by Cao Shuo's side.

After glancing at them, the questioning man licked his lips and didn't dare to be more verbose.

The warriors outside the gate of Lingyun Pavilion would not do anything to them because of gossip, but the guards around Cao Shuo were different.

Inquire about Cao Shuo, in case the guards feel that he is suspicious, it is still a trivial matter to arrest him, maybe even his head will be gone.

When Cao Shuo was entertaining guests at the Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Cao was sitting in the backyard study.

Xu Chu stood facing him.

Only then did he learn from Xu Chu that Cao Shuo was named the king of Huainan, and Cao Cao's face was a little complicated.

"Did Zhong Kang feel that Zirong's official came too smoothly?" Cao Cao asked Xu Chu.

"Why did Cao Gong suddenly ask that?" Xu Chu didn't answer, but asked blankly.

"It's just that he united with the Xiliang army to break through Guo Yuan, and went to the Xiongnu to make a fuss, and His Majesty actually crowned him king." Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, this is trying to use Zirong to control me!" ”

"Cao Gong may be thinking too much!" Xu Chu said: "Doesn't Cao Gong know the character of the son? ”

"Of course I know him." Cao Cao smiled and said: "If you fall to the ground, you have to grab a handful of mud, and you have always been a master who refuses to suffer." ”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Xu Chu said: "The filial piety of the son has long been praised by the world, and the prince of Cao sacrificed his life to save him in Wancheng. Just said that in the past few years, there has been a son, when has Cao Gong been worried about the whole place? ”

"I didn't say that Zirong is not filial!" Cao Cao said: "I just think that His Majesty is too attentive to him today. ”

"What can Your Majesty do to be courteous to your son?" Xu Chu said: "If it is in a peaceful and prosperous world, Your Majesty is courteous to the courtiers, and the courtiers will be grateful to Dade." However, now in troubled times, the imperial power is declining, and what His Majesty wants is nothing more than to rely on someone and try to survive. ”

"You mean, I didn't leave your majesty alive?" Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and when he looked at Xu Chu, his face did not become very good.

"Cao Gong misunderstood." Xu Chu said: "I just think that after Zi Rongyi brought the edict, Cao Gong's attitude towards His Majesty was different from earlier. I feel it, and of course Your Majesty can feel it. The Han family is in decline, and he has no reason to feel at ease. Duke Cao treated him like this again, of course His Majesty wanted to find a courtier who had no evil thoughts towards him? Finding someone who doesn't deal with Cao Gong is not only useless, but Cao Gong may embarrass His Majesty again. In fact, His Majesty is also making difficulties, whether he should get close to the eldest son, he must have made many trade-offs. ”

"Zhong Kang doesn't talk much on weekdays, how do you say one thing today?" Cao Cao asked Xu Chu in surprise.

"Follow Cao Gong all day long, even the most stupid person can teach it. What's more, these words were not originally said by me. ”

Cao Cao asked, "Who said these words?" ”

"Go back to Cao Gong." Xu Chu replied: "It was Xun Gong who said it." ”

"Which Xun Gong?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Xun You!" Xu Chu said: "I am also curious why Your Majesty attaches so much importance to Gongzi, and I am also curious why Your Majesty attaches so much importance to Gongzi." Puzzled, I asked Xun Gong for advice, and Xun Gong told me that. ”

"It's still Xun Gongda's ability to see through." Cao Cao shook his head and said to Xu Chu: "Go and call Zirong over, just say that I have something to find him." ”

"I'm afraid not right now." Xu Chu said: "When the eldest son returned to his residence, many people went to congratulate him. Even Guo Gong, Xun Gong and others went. accepted gifts from everyone, and it was not good for the son not to hold a banquet to thank the guests. This will be them eating and drinking in Lingyun Pavilion, and I am afraid that they will disperse later. ”

"Since you know that Zirong is holding a banquet in Lingyun Pavilion to entertain everyone, why don't you go?" Cao Cao asked Xu Chu.

Xu Chu replied: "I am the guard next to Cao Gong, how can I leave Cao Gong and go to eat and drink?" ”

"Or do you understand things!" Cao Cao said: "Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with His Majesty canonizing Zirong as the king of Huainan, I just think that he, the king of Huainan, came too casually, maybe he won't pay attention to it in the future." On the contrary, he carried the title of King Huainan and did some things that were difficult to clean up. ”

"What's wrong with Cao Gong today?" Xu Chu said: "How can it be like there are many things on your mind. After all, Gongzi is also a member of the Cao family, and if he can be crowned king, Cao Gong should be happy. ”

"Good things always come to the door with bad things." Cao Cao said: "Zi Rong is the king, and the father is of course happy for him." But if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, the title of King Huainan may eventually kill him. ”

"I'll let people go to Lingyun Pavilion to guard outside." Xu Chu said: "Once the banquet is over, let the prince come to see Cao Gong." ”

Xu Chu was about to withdraw to arrange for someone to go to Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Cao said: "Forget it, don't be in a hurry." He just crowned the king of Huainan, and let him get away with it tonight. I'll talk to him again when I find an opportunity! ”

hugged his fists and responded, Xu Chu didn't say anything more.

Cao Cao's face was never very good.

Liu Xie canonized Cao Shuo, for fear that the official given would not be big enough, which shows that this little emperor has a deep estrangement from himself.

However, Cao Cao was not worried that Liu Xie was estranged from him.

He was just worried that Cao Shuoguan would become bigger and bigger, and after having these false names, he would become complacent, and even sooner or later, he would do something that even he couldn't suppress.

The last two times Cao Shuo came to Xudu, Cao Cao had already seen ambition in his eyes.

Although he tried his best to hide the ** rushing in his heart, it was still impossible to hide Cao Cao's eyes.
