Chapter Ninety-Nine: Settling Accounts After the Autumn
"Sir, there are still clansmen in Huiji?" Cao Pi is a little strange, now that Sun Ce has almost beaten down the entire Jiangdong, Huiji will naturally be no exception, as the Wang Lang family of Huiji Taishou is still living under Sun Ce's hands while Wang Lang stays in the imperial court, this thing is a bit strange. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In Cao Pi's impression, Sun Ce is also a short-tempered person, and when he is angry, Sun Ce will do some extreme things, such as the original Wujun Taishou Xu Gong was killed by the angry Sun Ce, of course, in the end, Sun Ce also paid the price of his life for killing Xu Gong.
Wang Lang smiled: "Gongzi asked, is it because of the matter of Wu County's tribute?"
Cao Pi nodded and said: "This Xu Gong is the Wu County Taishou who told the old heir of the ancestor Jing Jie Gong in my clan, it is rumored that this Xu Gong is just because he passed the book with my father, and Sun Bofu asked for his life, Mr. came to Xu Du as a messenger of Sun Bofu, and then stayed here, not afraid that he would anger Mr. Family?" "Jing Jiegong is Cao Hong's uncle Cao Ding, who served as the Taishou of Wu County before Xu Gong.
"Sun Bofu regretted it a few days after killing Xu Gong, but it was difficult to return to hate, since Xu Gong's death, whether it is the Jiangdong clan or an old official like me, it has been much better. It is because Sun Bofu will not harm our people. After the boundary of Xuzhou was more peaceful, I passed the book to my family to Xudu. ”
Cao Pi nodded, thinking of Sun Quan's gentle policy towards the Jiangdong clan and the generals after Sun Ce's death, maybe it was also Sun Ce's instructions before his death, otherwise Sun Quan, who was young at that time and had strong blood, might not be able to bear the grudge of his eldest brother being assassinated, and would be angry with others. Of course, it may also be that Sun Quan was originally a person with a deep city government, but Cao Pi was not too worried about this, because the day when he had to face Sun Quan was still very early.
After some gossip, Wang Lang continued to talk about Zhou Yi to Cao Pi until lunchtime, and then left, and Cao Pi began to eat after sending Wang Lang away. Although there are many people in Cao Pi's small courtyard now, there are only two people who are qualified to dine with him, one is Cao Zhen and the other is Dianman. Lu Lingqi and Lu Qi all went to the kitchen to eat, but they dragged Cao Pi's blessing, and their food was very good.
As for Gao Shun, Cao Pi invited him to eat at the same table several times, but Gao Shun had a different identity and went to the kitchen to eat by himself. A few days later, Cao Cao marched to Liyang with his army, leaving only 5,000 soldiers to guard Xudu.
Now that the rice has bloomed, Cao Pi has been riding his horse every few days with Cao Zhen, Xiahou Ba and a group of small brothers to shuttle between Juntun and Mintun near Yuzhou to do rope latching work, of course, except for Cao Pi, everyone thinks that this is a blessing to the rice.
Every night there will be a sound of frogs in the rice fields, the wind blows the rice flowers swaying, and the moonlight is like water, and it is very pleasant to face such a scene in the quiet night. Cao Pi's actions made Cao Xiu have a lot of work, although he was in Yuzhou, but he still had to protect the safety of his son, especially when Cao Cao left Xu Capital with a large army a few days ago, he told Cao Xiu a thousand times to protect the safety of his son. Therefore, when Cao Pi took the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family to shuttle around Yuzhou, there were always ten people with feathers on their heads and wearing enemy crowns and horsemen following behind Cao Pi, which was the elite personal soldiers of Cao Xiu's southern army.
On this day, after taking Cao Zhen and others to latte flowers late at night, he was preparing to stay in Juntun for the night, and he entered the city at dawn, but when he returned to the room, he found that Cao Xiu, who was wearing a straight plain gauze dress, was sitting on the couch in the room.
Straight plain yarn can be said to be the highest technology of Han Dynasty clothing, not only need good silk, but also need good tailors, this kind of clothes have brown, crimson, gray, vermilion, yellow brown, brown, light yellow, etc. The patterns on the clothes include various animals, moire, curly grass and geometric patterns. This kind of clothing is covered with silk coat for decoration, very light, light to no more than 30 grams, Cao Pi has seen the unearthed real thing in later generations, or the Western Han Dynasty, folded up and can be put into a matchbox, worthy of thin as cicada wings, "light as smoke".
Of course, this kind of clothes are sky-high in these years, Cao Pi has only seen Cao Cao, and Cao Hong, the richest man in the Cao family, has never seen it, and now Cao Xiu is wearing it, which is enough to show that this guy is rich, at least Cao Pi does not have this kind of clothes.
Cao Pi closed the door, came to the other side of the couch, and asked, "Brother Wen Lie came to visit late at night, I don't know what is important?" ”
"It's important to have your own business." Cao Xiu said as he took out the white silk that Cao Pi gave him a few months ago, and said: "This edict already has a seal, and it was printed by the brother when the virtuous brother entered the court. ”
"But my father has already set out for Liyang." Cao Pi secretly sighed that this thing came at an inopportune time.
Cao Xiu said: "Then take it in with the virtuous brother first, and then offer it when the clan uncle returns to the teacher." ”
"It's okay, I'm still gambling with those old ministers who have returned to the east, and we will see it after the autumn." Cao Pi said as he put things in his sleeve.
Cao Xiu said with a smile: "I've heard about it, and now everyone in Xudu City, from the civil and military officials to the ordinary people, is watching the excitement." ”
Cao Pi smiled, and then said: "There is still a need for someone to frame Dong Cheng, preferably someone close to him." ”
Cao Xiu nodded and said, "Brother Wei has sent his cronies to roam around the Dong Mansion day and night to find candidates. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"General Wen Qian has already taken the post of rebel general, guarding Hanoi, otherwise the strength will be weak, Dong Cheng's mansion is imminent, if he unites Liu Bei and Zhang Xiuzhi at the critical juncture of the clan uncle and Yuan Shao's struggle for Hungary, it is really difficult to deal with, because he can open the mansion on the grounds of wanton collection of rangers, cooperate with the tiger in the palace, and there are external troubles, the consequences are unpredictable." Cao Xiu said.
Cao Pi thought that Lejin would come back after fighting Hanoi, but he didn't expect that the garrison would be there, but in order to block where Yuan Shao crossed the river from, the garrison was normal. However, he Cao Pi knew the trend of history, so he was not as worried as Cao Xiu, but said: "Now that Liu Bei has just killed Che Guan, the foundation is unstable, and Zhang Xiu has no food, I am afraid that he will soon become a rogue, so there is no need to worry." Xu Du is doing things after the autumn. ”
Cao Xiu nodded in agreement, and then said goodbye and left, he is the commander of the Southern Army, it is natural and simple to enter the city gate, just shout a voice, of course, Cao Pi is also simple, but with so many people riding horses and donkeys into the city late at night, it is too disturbing to dream, so after coming out of Lahua, he will live in Juntun.
Cao Pi took off his robe, took out the white silk, unfolded it and glanced at it, then glanced at the seal below, and sneered a few times and said to himself: "This is the edict of the cloth!" It's still in the hands of Lao Tzu! Be sure to add to his effect. As he spoke, he lay down on the couch and folded the white silk aside, and at the same time, a vicious plan had already taken shape in his mind.
I can't help but feel like I'm mean....
