Chapter Twenty-Six: The Loyal Servant Cao Cao
Since Gao Ye also had no opinion on capturing the Ten Standing Attendants, He Jin was naturally very happy, and the feeling of winning was indeed not ordinarily cool, so his voice shouting to open the table was also extraordinarily loud. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gao Ye is now afraid of the banquet, because as long as everyone drinks, there is no intention to stop. Especially now that the wine has been replaced by a strong liquor in the steamer, and Liu Hong thinks that the name of burning knives is not good, it is better to change the name to Baijiu. Therefore, from then on, there was no burning knife in the world, only liquor.
This kind of wine, I don't know if it's the reason why the emperor cut corners, anyway, every time Gao Ye drinks too much, he will feel a headache when he gets up the next morning, and the feeling of separation between the brain and the brain is how uncomfortable and uncomfortable it is, so although this wine is sold much cheaper, Gao Ye is still more willing to drink the wine made by his family.
Fortunately, in this lobby, Yuan Shao is the absolute protagonist, He Jin felt that he was extremely intelligent, and helped him solve the big problem of the Ten Standing Attendants, so he naturally drank with him frequently. Others, such as Gao Ye and Cao Cao, have a good relationship with Yuan Shao, and when the spring breeze is proud, it is natural for someone to praise them, and the two of them, who are good friends of Yuan Shao, are naturally duty-bound. And Xu You and Xun You, their status is already slightly lower, and their official positions are even lower, and now that Yuan Shao is gaining power here, how can the two of them, as people who eat in the General's Mansion, not respect him?
As a result, Yuan Shao took the lead in drinking to the point of being unconscious, and was ordered by the general to take him back to the backyard to rest, and this banquet naturally ended. As for Gao Ye, he left the General's Mansion with Cao Cao, the night was dark, the city gate was closed, and he didn't have to go back to the barracks, so he should go to Cao Cao's house to get together for the night.
"Mingxi, you are in Yingchuan, you are really doing a good job, I was worried about whether you could gain a foothold in Yingchuan. Unexpectedly, I didn't stay in Jinan for a few days, so I couldn't stay. Fortunately, with the help of his ancestors, he returned to the court and served as the captain of this military academy. It's a pity that the general always doesn't listen to my advice, and it's depressing, which can be imagined. ”
"Alas, you also look at my surface scenery, how do you know the bitterness behind me? You know that as soon as I went to Yingchuan, I was coerced by more than a dozen families, large and small, to sell my land and labor. If it weren't for Bo Jiaogong appreciating me, and Xun Ciming being bribed by me again, where would I have the current situation? ”
"Haha, but in the end, Mingxi, you still stood your ground, and you ruled Yingchuan so prosperously, don't you know, when the first emperor knew that you were framed by Zuo Feng, he couldn't wait to cut Zuo Feng with a thousand knives. The court even said bluntly, you Gao Mingxi can pay so many taxes every quarter, it is really a great contribution to the country, and it is only a plan to frame it, and An Neng has trapped Gao Taishou's heart to serve the country. ”
"Mengde, don't laugh at me, the general gave me a letter, but I said it was dangerous. What else did he say, if he hadn't been a guarantor with General Huangfu and others, plus Zuo Feng really caused public anger, I, the Yingchuan Taishou, would have been swept to the end a long time ago. ”
"If the general doesn't say that, how can you accept your heart and make you willing to serve him. Although our general can't fight, he is still skilled in this set. Alas, I'm just worried about this Dong Zhuo now, I'm just afraid that he will make some mess. ”
"It's okay, with my uncle Ding Jianyang and me, Dong Zhuo can't do anything if he wants to." Gao Ye smiled faintly, with a confident look, which made Cao Cao feel relieved. "I just don't know why Bo Zhuo is so optimistic about that Dong Zhuo, and he even praised him for being loyal and good."
"I guess I'm being fooled. Besides, Cai Shi knew Dong Zhuo, it was many years ago, and people will change. ”
Gao Ye listened to Cao Cao say such a philosophical sentence, and couldn't help but express his admiration, and Cao Cao naturally accepted Gao Ye's compliment happily. In fact, Gao Ye didn't really want to compliment Cao Cao, but now Cao Cao, who was depressed, needed such a compliment to relieve the depression in his own heart. Cao Cao is not happy about Gao Ye's compliment to him, but having a friend like Gao Ye, he can let go of his identity and find a way to make himself happier. He is now a county guard, and he is just a military captain. If it is said that his official position was inferior to his own in the past, now his official position is far worse than his. Even so, Gao Ye is still willing to take the initiative to comfort himself. Yuan Shao has a lot of fox friends and dog friends, but friends like Gao Ye who really make him feel that he can make friends with him so far, this is the only one.
"Meng De, I once heard that there was a scholar in Runan, who once commented that you were 'a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times', and now it is a little uncomfortable, why should you worry."
"Haha, that Xu Zi was forced by me to have no choice, so he gave me such an evaluation, who knows if it's true or not. Besides, now it is neither a ruling world nor a troubled world, I am afraid that I, Cao Mengde, will waste my life. ”
"You yourself said that those who mess with the world must enter the world, and now you think that you can't enter the chaos of the world?"
"Haha, I want the world to be in turmoil, but I don't want the world to be in chaos."
"Mengde, if one day, the world is really in chaos, what should you do?" Gao Ye couldn't help asking, he had never talked about this question with Cao Cao before, that was because although the Han was a little stormy in the past, it was stable in the end, but now it is different, even Cao Cao has the worry of chaos in the world, and it will not make him feel strange if he asks it himself.
"The world is in chaos? If this is the case, then I will definitely assist Your Majesty and calm down the ministers. ”
"Don't you have the ambition of a high ancestor?" Gao Ye couldn't help but laugh.
"I once said that my life's ambition, but after death, I can engrave the tomb of Cao Hou, the general of the Han Dynasty in the west, on the tombstone, the world is in chaos, naturally I have to assist Your Majesty, since Guangwu can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, why can't Your Majesty today? What's the matter, Mingxi, do you have the intention of dominating the world? ”
"Haha, if there really is such a day, I would rather choose a master to make the world stable. Be the lord and fight for the world? This is not for me, but it is very suitable for you, a traitor in troubled times. ”
"If you want me to see, that Xu Zijiang is just a joke, probably because I was forced to be anxious, so I said such a good word. Otherwise, for so many years, every time I give advice, it will not be accepted, how can I explain it? If you think about it, when I was a councilor, His Majesty never took my advice, and now he is a member of the general's staff, and the general never adopts my advice. I really don't understand, what I, Cao Mengde, think and plan, is it so not worth mentioning? ”
"I don't think so, Meng De, you know more about this court matter than me. I remember that when I was in Wuyuan, I always told Du Zan to ask him to increase his armaments, or how to build a city to defend against the Xiongnu. If nothing else, military affairs have always been my forte, and Du Chan is not a general, but he has never listened to my opinion, and at that time, I always didn't understand why. When I became a taishou myself, I realized that with different statuses, the things I considered were naturally different. After I became a taishou, I had to pay a little tax every year, and I had to level the wasteland, repair the city, and relieve the orphans and widows, where could I take care of expanding the army and building the city! If it weren't for the tens of thousands of laborers this time, I wouldn't be able to become what I am now. ”
"Haha, Mingxi's words are reasonable. It seems that if I go to the court in the future, I will naturally have to think more from their point of view, so that it should be much better, right? No wonder Ben Chu is always able to be the favor of the general, it seems that in this matter, he Yuan Ben is still stronger than me. ”
"Mencius said, 'Heaven will descend on the people...... Gain what it can't', now Cao Mengde is gaining, it can be seen that the great task is about to fall. ”
"Why, Mingxi, do you believe this? Originally, I also believed it, but look at it, which of the three princes and nine kings has suffered? is not a child of a family, or a person who spends money to donate officials, it seems that this Mencius is not all right. ”
"But I still believe that Meng De must have a great responsibility, maybe, it is really to calm the troubled times."
"Mingxi, you think too highly of me." Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and said, "But I still prefer to be this capable minister who governs the world, and the Han Dynasty will never die." ”
Gao Ye had to nod in agreement with Cao Cao's opinion, but didn't say anything more. From the short conversation just now, Gao Ye knew how deep Cao Cao's feelings for the Han were. I don't know if he didn't claim the title of emperor in the end, whether he also had such thoughts in it. Perhaps it was this kind of emotion that made him unwilling to let the Han perish at his own hands.
Both of them drank a lot of wine, so when they arrived at Cao Cao's house, the two of them did not continue to talk, but returned to their rooms and rested. Early in the morning, Cao Cao found Gao Ye who was practicing martial arts. He originally asked Gao Ye to go to breakfast, but as soon as he came, he saw Gao Ye practicing martial arts, so naturally he didn't bother, but watched Gao Ye's kung fu on the side.
Later generations practice, pay attention to both internal and external cultivation, Gao Ye is naturally no exception, with his family's internal skills as the foundation, practice external skills to naturally get twice the result with half the effort. Maybe it's because the air in this era is too good, so Gao Ye's internal strength practice is also more profound, and now this set of Taizu long punches comes out, faintly with the momentum of wind and thunder, I don't know if I practice a splitting palm or something, can I have the momentum of the eighteen palms of the dragon in the novel?
However, Cao Cao, who was on the side, couldn't help but admire it, and said that Gao Ye's martial arts were outstanding, but he didn't know how high it was. I used to think that I was superior in martial arts, and there was no rival in the world, but it was a pity that a man would beat himself all over the ground to find teeth. Looking at Gao Ye now, it is estimated that he can't even walk for three rounds in his hands, I really don't know how he practiced this martial art.
After Gao Ye finished punching, he naturally saw Cao Cao who was waiting on the side, and he didn't even care about sweating, so he hurriedly walked in front of Cao Cao and apologized. Breakfast is simple, just some gruel. However, it is better to take a bite of high night, and it would be better if there was a little pickle.
In fact, Cao Cao didn't eat breakfast before, but since he met Gao Ye and marched together for so long, his habits have been very close to Gao Ye, and if he doesn't eat something every morning, the day will be uncomfortable. Perhaps, in this era, he Cao Cao is the only person who is not from his own family, but has to eat breakfast early in the morning, right?
