Chapter 165 Sandwiched in the middle
"Please publicize Cao, what should Lu Ren do now?"
Hearing Lu Ren's inquiry, Cao Cao just glanced at Lu Ren a few times meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven has been suffering for many years, and it is finally possible to live in peace today. Now that you have intended to summon Yihao to accompany you, how can you dismiss the will of the Son of Heaven? You are very busy supervising the construction of the city and the affairs of Tuntian, but occasionally you should take a break, so it is okay to go into the palace to accompany the Son of Heaven to play a game in your spare time. In short, you must not neglect this matter, otherwise others will say that you are pretentious and do not obey the holy order, and it will be a matter of losing your head. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao probably felt that he had to make things clear about Lu Ren's two hundred and five, and then added to Lu Ren: "You don't have to worry too much, just accompany the Son of Heaven to play a good game, so that the Son of Heaven can borrow it to relax." The rest, don't think about it. ”
“…… Promise! ”
When Lu Ren saw Cao Cao talking like this, he understood a little bit in his heart, but he didn't understand it very clearly, and he had to think carefully about what was going on inside after he went back. But no matter what, looking at the current situation, Cao Cao should not have any suspicions about himself, and Lu Ren's goal has finally been achieved, which makes Lu Ren feel a lot more at ease.
Seeing that the things that need to be done are done, Lu Ren also wants to leave as soon as possible, after all, it is very uncomfortable to get along with such a big boss. It's just that when Lu Ren was about to leave after the salute, Cao Cao suddenly called Lu Ren and asked, "Not long after the lonely party returned to Xudu, there are some things that I haven't remembered yet." Yoshiho, are you still living in the Hunting House outside the city? ”
Lu Ren nodded: "Exactly...... In the past, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not have a house to live in, but although a lot of them were built later, and the large and small officials and secretaries had also been settled, Cao Gong's army did not return, and Lu Ren did not dare to fight for a house. ”
Cao Cao was happy: "You are Xu Duling, but you have always lived outside the city, and you have to go back and forth when you do things, and it is really hard for you to arrive." Well, after you return today, you will prepare to move, and I will give you another house in the city of Xudu. ”
Lu Ren hurriedly bowed and thanked him, but in his heart he said that your old Cao should have given me a house a long time ago. The road of more than ten Han miles, it may be nothing now, it is only seven or eight kilometers, and it is a matter of driving a private car, taking a bus, or taking a subway, but in that situation at that time, it was really very troublesome to go back and forth, so many times Lu Ren spent the night in the tent of the construction site and the camp. It's okay for Lu Ren to come by himself, but it's very inconvenient for him to have to take Cai Yan with him from time to time.
But as soon as he thought of Cai Yan, Lu Ren realized something, and subconsciously looked at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also looked at Lu Ren at this time, and the first thing he said was: "Yihao, is Zhao Ji okay?" ”
“…… Okay, right? There is no problem with the body, but because of such a thing, I was always restless at first, so I had to take her with me from time to time, one is convenient to take care of from time to time, and the other is to let her relax by borrowing the matter of travel. It's been a few months now, and there should be nothing left. ”
Cao Cao was silent for a while before he said, "After you move into the city, Lone will send someone to bring her and take care of her on behalf of her friend." And you...... has to supervise government affairs and accompany the Son of Heaven, which is indeed lacking in skills. ”
Lu Renxin said that your old Cao can really make excuses, but he also understands that Cao Cao must find a reasonable excuse in this matter. There was nothing else to do now, and Lu Ren didn't want to talk to Cao Cao anymore, so he withdrew from the hall after giving a salute.
After retreating into the hall, Lu Ren put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, carefully sorting out the details and relationships in today's incident. There is no way, this kind of thing can't be sorted out clearly, trapped in this whirlpool, once there is a mistake, it will be shattered.
He was thinking about it while walking here, but Cao Ang suddenly appeared, stopped Lu Ren with a smile, and said, "It's rare for Brother Lu to come here, but why don't you come to meet Ang Xiao for a while?" Or does Brother Lu disdain to be friends with Ang? ”
"Huh? Zi, Zixiu! ”
The little blurred image that Lu Ren had just sorted out in his mind was completely dispersed by Cao Ang's stop, and then looked at Cao Ang in front of him, Lu Ren couldn't cry if he wanted to, and said in his heart: "Prince, you think I'm you?" Your identity environment here is very simple, but I'm a mess here, okay? How can I think of playing with you? ”
However, everyone stopped themselves, no matter how they said it, they couldn't help but give face, so Lu Ren smiled and apologized: "What kind of busy am I usually like, Zixiu, can you not know?" After discussing things with Ling Zun just now, I patronized and thought about things. ”
Cao Ang also smiled: "Brother Lu is still so hard!" However, I heard that there was a big banquet in the palace last night, Brother Lu, you led the flute to cheer up, and the court and the central government praised Brother Lu. It's a pity that Ang's identity is so small that he can't go to the banquet and can't see Brother Lu's demeanor, it's a pity! ”
Lu Ren said dumbly: "Zixiu, you are mocking me." ”
According to the situation at that time, although Cao Ang was Cao Cao's eldest son, he was not qualified to participate in the palace banquet, unless Emperor Liu Xie specially asked Cao Cao to take Cao Ang there. In fact, not to mention Cao Ang, many of Cao Cao's staff members are not qualified to participate, if Lu Ren is not hanging an official position of "trying to guard Xu Duling", which belongs to the "Beijing Official" series of the court, then Lu Ren will not be eligible to participate. But for Lu Ren now, I really hope that I am not qualified to participate, because if I don't participate in yesterday's palace banquet, I won't be inexplicably involved in this incident.
With a wry smile, Lu Ren followed Cao Ang to the courtyard to sit for a while, chatted with Cao Ang casually, and drank a few glasses of wine before leaving in a hurry with a full stomach. After leaving, Cao Ang went to see Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Father, Brother Lu, is there anything difficult about this?" Seeing him like that, his sad face was full of worries. ”
Cao Cao was checking the official documents, and after hearing Cao Ang's words, he smiled and said, "He? It should be said that he is a smart man, but now he is a little clever but is mistaken by cleverness. ”
"What does my father mean by that?"
Cao Cao stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes and muttered: "My father has now welcomed the Son of Heaven, although he is full of courtesy, but the Son of Heaven has been suffering for many years, how can he be credulous?" And for his father and Zhu Qing, he bitterly advised the Son of Heaven to move the capital from Luoyang to Xu, and there was a bit of the taste of Dong Zhuo's coercion of the Son of Heaven to move west to Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven would inevitably have doubts in his heart, or suspect that his father would be the second Dong Zhuo. ”
After a pause, Cao Cao put down the official document in his hand: "Last night, Lu Yihao sounded the horn in the banquet to cheer up, the Son of Heaven was by no means a spur of the moment, but should have done it on purpose. After that, he left Yihao to play a ball in the palace...... The Son of Heaven is not at ease with being a father! Therefore, through these things and through the mouth of Yihao, it is necessary to show that the Son of Heaven only seeks stability and entrusts all the power of the court to the will of his father. ”
There were still some words that Cao Cao didn't say, but between the father and son, some words didn't need to be said so clearly, at least Cao Ang nodded in understanding at this time.
And after Cao Cao laughed, he said to Cao Ang again: "Ang'er, you have a good relationship with Lu Yihao, go back and help him move, so remember to comfort him and let him not worry so much." He has no ambitions, just wants to live a stable and comfortable life, but such an incident is encountered by him, but he is a very knowledgeable person, and it is inevitable that he will have some worries in his heart. ”
Cao Ang smiled: "Brother Lu has always been such a temperament, is it too difficult for Brother Lu to let him go to the top in this matter?" Can't the father choose someone else to replace him? ”
Cao Cao shook his head: "It wasn't for the father who chose him, but the Son of Heaven who chose him." If the Son wants to reassure the Father today, why doesn't the Father want to reassure the Son of Heaven? How can the Son of Heaven be replaced as a father at will? Once replaced, won't the Son of Heaven have doubts and uneasiness in his heart? All in all, Ang'er, you can tell Lu Yihao, tell him to do things when he should do things, and play with the Son of Heaven when he should play with the Son of Heaven. And his temperament, although he is a little villainous, but at this time, his father is very relieved of him. ”
Cao Ang smiled again: "The child understands." ”
In fact, Lu Ren can slowly figure out these messy things when he turns around, but without Cao Cao's words, Lu Ren's heart can't settle down. And although he was brought over by Cao Ang later, Lu Ren still had a faint uneasiness in his heart, so he gradually had other plans in his heart, at least he didn't want to stay in such a cusp anymore.
――――――――――――――――――――
A few days later, Lu Ren's family finally moved into the courtyard in Xuchang City. This time it is a mansion in the real sense, and it is much better than Lu Ren's mansion in Puyang. Let's put it this way, if Lu Ren's previous residence in Puyang was a compound villa building, then Lu Ren's current residence is a large flower courtyard villa.
It would have been a good thing to move into such a place, but when Lu Ren saw such a house, his mood was extremely complicated. Looking at the tall door, Lu Ren felt that it was a bloody mouth that might swallow himself at any time, and then he wouldn't even spit out a single bit of bone slag.
"Damn it, how did I get mixed up with this now? Wouldn't it be okay for me to be a peaceful county magistrate in an ordinary small county? Looking back now, isn't it that I was too smart before and after? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't work, right? No, it's really not okay to go on like this, maybe you have to get into some kind of trouble! It's less than three and a half years old, and I'll have to try to figure out how to get out......"
He was thinking about it here, but suddenly a shrill voice came out: "Lu Lingjun! ”
This kind of shrill voice, Lu Ren will get goosebumps all over his body when he hears it, but he has to deal with it carefully.
"Lu Lingjun moved into a new home, congratulations! It's just that the saint is itchy today, and he wants to summon Lu Lingjun to the palace to play the ball......"
What else can be said? Go ahead!
