Chapter 106: Justified
Cao Cao sat on the ground for a long time before he stood up and helped his three sons with their foreheads on the ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info smiled and said to Cao Pi: "Isn't Wu'er going to take out the ten catties of gold rewarded by the Son of Heaven?" ”
Cao Pi nodded and said: "Exactly, although it is not a lot of money, after all, there is still such a way to express the sorrow of the children and younger brothers to their brothers." ”
"Father, child... There were also some silver coins, which were given by the mother to the maidservant, and the handmaid was given to the child, which could be used to repair the grave of the elder brother. Cao Zhi said timidly.
Cao Zhang scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "The child has no money... But there is still a lot of strength to pile up the wood! ”
Cao Cao laughed, tears flowed down again, and he hugged his three sons and said yes again and again.
At this moment, Cao Pi rarely felt the human touch that a family should have, although his original intention was just to propose the construction of a clothed mound, so that Cao Cao could set up a spiritual position on the ancestral hall from the new, and erase the name of the eldest son on Cao Ang's spirit card.
According to custom, Cao Pi paid for Cao Angli's clothed mound, and the inscription must belong to Cao Pi's name, of course, there is also Cao Cao's name, and even Cao Cao's name is still in front of Cao Pi, but whose name is the first in the inscription of this mound is not the point, the focus is on the content of the inscription, about Cao Cao may be his father Cao Mengde, but there are indeed several ways about Cao Pi, one is the younger brother Cao Pi, and the other is the eldest son of the XX generation of Cao's family. Now what Cao Pi is striving for is to write the inscription in the second way.
The decision to write the inscription is in Cao Cao's hands after all, if Cao Ang's armor is transported back to Xudu, Cao Pi will do nothing, and the chance to write the two inscriptions is fifty to fifty, betting on Cao Cao's love for Cao Pi's son. But now that Cao Pi took the initiative to take out the money and build a mound for Cao Ang, the probability of writing "eldest son Pi" is much higher.
There are three reasons for this, one is emotionally, Cao Cao will feel that Cao Pi's feelings for his brother are sincere, after all, no matter how smart Cao Pi is, after all, he is a child of the year of the general horn, no matter how Cao Cao guesses, he can't guess that Cao Pi is seeking a future political status for himself, after all, the current Cao Cao is not the king of Wei, and the eldest son is at most to obtain more political resources, not to the extent that he can inherit all interests, there is no need to plan like this.
2. 100,000 yuan is not a small amount, enough to buy a good house in Xudu, and Cao Pi can take it out without hesitation to build a tomb for his brother, which shows that Cao Pi values love more than money.
Third, Cao Pi's approach is not only Cao Cao will know, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the people of Xudu, and the celebrities of the world will know that a twelve-year-old boy who donated all the gold awarded to him by the Son of Heaven to build a tomb for his deceased brother, in this era when the enlightenment reading material is "The Book of Filial Piety", it will inevitably win a good reputation, and some officials in the court and the strategists and generals under Cao Cao will definitely remind Cao *** without a trace. Cao Pi, the eldest son of the main room, has such virtues, why not cross out the long characters of the eldest son Cao Ang when he stands up the monument of the crown mound and tree? After all, a living person must have a firstborn son to meet the legislation...
Cao Pi's calculations are very accurate, and his move is to play these three reasons, one is to remember the eldest brother's love, the second is to show that it is to squander wealth and value affection, and the third is to give people the reason of virtue. As long as Cao Cao agrees to Cao Pi's request, the mound will inevitably have the words Pi, the eldest son of the XX generation of the Cao family.
Obviously, judging from Cao Cao's current performance, he is really moved, so he has finally changed from the actual eldest son to the legitimate eldest son, at this moment, he can be regarded as earning an active position for himself, and it is a standing truth that he will not be virtuous in the future.
In any era, what can give you an identity recognition is never an established fact, but evidence written in black and white, whether it is written in your ancestral ancestral hall or the tombstone of your ancestors, or in the dusty family tree. Cao Pi understands this truth too well.
Talented, smart and wise, in front of the golden rule of order of the young and old, it is naturally much more powerless, although it may not be able to solve all problems, but after all, there is a reliable hole card.
In this way, ten days later, Liu Xie's ten catties of gold entered Cao Cao's pocket, Cao's hometown of Yuzhou Peiguo County has begun to build Cao Ang's clothing mound, Cao's ancestral hall that belongs to Cao Ang's spiritual seat has also been removed by the old people in the clan, and the tree tablet naturally has to be re-established.
The army was standing, Liu Ye and Cao Pi were playing on a flat stone on the bank of Yingshui, Dian Man was still far away from the children of the Divine Envoy Camp, and the page joined in, obviously he and Lu Lingqi's repeated defeats did not wear out his fighting spirit, although he kept falling to the ground in the discussion with a Cao family's children, he still roared and got up and rushed to the other party.
The heated competition made them unable to hear the conversation between Liu Ye and Cao Pi in the distance, and Liu Ye smiled after falling into the son: "The sacrificial wine let the lower officials tell the son, and the hand of funding the construction of the clothes mound is very powerful, which can make the identity of the son rise with the passage of time." ”
Cao Pi smiled, and Luozi accepted a piece of Liu Ye's land and said with a smile: "I don't want to drill into the camp for anything, it's completely a memorial to my brother, and I can't help myself, so I will take out all my bounty." ”
"Childe is very right! The sacrificial wine also said that Jia Xu was a powerful person, he killed people, and he took the corpse and exchanged himself for peace, which made Sikong and Gongzi have a good reputation. However, it is the famous chess for Sikong, and the dark chess for the son, and in the future, Jia Wen and Xu Du will not dare to get too close to the son. ”
"This person naturally thinks that if I don't see through his secret chess, or there is a master behind him to guide him, this person is good at self-preservation, and he will not get too close to smart people."
"Neither the lower official nor the sacrificial wine saw Jia Wenhe's secret chess, but the son was able to take advantage of the situation, which is enough to show that the son has a ravine in his heart. The sacrificial wine and the lower officials also guessed that the son had deliberately done it after receiving the news that the son had funded the repair of the clothes and mounds, so it seems that Jia Wenhe's ability to build momentum is unsurpassed in the world, and the wisdom of the son to take advantage of the situation is also the first in the world. Liu Ye said.
"After Dong Zhuo's death, the two wastes who were driven out of Chang'an can be pushed back to Chang'an and those who can still retreat after holding power for many years, the ability to build momentum is naturally beyond anyone's control, as for the son, I am just staring at the status of the eldest son day and night, so I will fight for it with all my might, and if I do something else, maybe I won't be so sensitive." Cao Pi ate Liu Ye a big dragon again, and replied lightly.
Liu Ye threw himself in the towel and said with a smile: "What the son said is extremely true. The Lujiang River of Liu Xun, the old lord of Xiaguan, has been occupied by Sun Bofu, and he will soon go north to take refuge in Sikong, since he is the old master, he has to do something for him, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come to meet the prince these days. ”
"Sir, it's best to tell this Liu Xun about the construction of the mound funded by this son, and let him go north to Lujiang Taishou to promote my virtues, so that my virtues will have the effect of doing the world."
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Xiaguan has this intention. With that, he got up and left.
Cao Pi brushed the chess game with his sleeves and walked in the direction of the divine envoy camp.
