Chapter 122: Another Gift
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world collapsed, the people's livelihood was greatly harmed, the population decreased sharply, the original male 20-year-old crown ceremony was broken in this era of population scarcity, many people's children can be crowned at the age of fifteen, because after the crown ceremony, for large families, the child can go to find an errand, strengthen their family's foundation in the local or central government, for small families, the crown ceremony can be separated, they no longer have to bear the child's life, let him be self-reliant.

Next year is the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Pi entered the age of 14, and he is actually one year away from the age of fifteen crowns, but Cao Cao is obviously not ready to wait, Cao Pi's performance in recent years has impressed Cao Cao, and naturally wants Cao Pi to give him strong help in more aspects.
There is no doubt that Cao Cao attaches great importance to his son's crown ceremony, otherwise he would not send Guo Jia back to Xu Du to prepare for the matter, hearing Guo Jia say this, Cao Pi is very happy, it is more convenient for him to do things with the title of Sikong Gongzi, but after all, there is no official and half-job, and many things can only be controlled within a certain range. There is no room for a trace of crossing the line, so he can only be a promoter of many things, but he can't do it blatantly.
For example, when Liu Hong and Xu Yue came to Taixue, he could only let Liu Hong go to the court to apply for transfer, and Cao Pi could only say nothing about Liu Hong's transfer in his military intelligence report to Cao Cao, just saying that Liu Hong was willing to return to Taixue. It's not that I'm afraid that Cao Cao will see it in his eyes, after all, this military intelligence machine still needs to be presented to the palace after Cao Cao reads it, and it will be seen by the Son of Heaven, although it is unknown whether the Son of Heaven will see it, but it will not be known after a few people's hands, if someone sees Cao Pi holding a letter of recommendation in the military intelligence report, then he can be impeached with unauthorized power.
If Cao Pi himself is also an official, he can naturally directly give Cao Cao a letter of recommendation to Cao Cao, and there is no need to be so troublesome, if it is not for the official to let you pass on the military information, you can only wear the military information, and you can't arbitrarily discuss the government and recommend talents, but the officials can, even if it is the examination order for building a house, they are qualified to go to the book to discuss the government and politics.
"In this case, then there is Mr. Law." Cao Pi walked side by side with Guo Jia's carriage and said with a smile.
"In addition to the guests, this crown ceremony still needs some famous people to come to watch the ceremony, otherwise it is really unreasonable for the dignified son of the crown ceremony to have no people who have heard of it. Fortunately, Gongzi brought Liu Yuanzhuo to Xu Du, and this person is quite popular among students, these students and a few people are all big families who have been officials for generations, Liu Yuanzhuo opened his mouth, and the students will inevitably help, and the face of the nephews and nephews will not be given, saving a lot of trouble. ”
Cao Pi smiled, he understood what Guo Jia meant, the Son of Heaven was set to be in Xu, Cao Cao has always been in power, which has long made those scholars dissatisfied, but Cao Cao did not dare to force them too much, because Cao Cao, who has also read a lot of books, knows that this world must have learned people to govern well, regardless of household registration, local tax counting, the implementation of various criminal laws according to the law, including the production of materials including military tun and mintun, people who have read books are needed to straighten out all kinds of numbers and words. However, because the families of these scholars and doctors have monopolized educational resources, they can produce a large number of scholars from generation to generation, and they are still needed to govern the world, how can they be forced to be too urgent?
In the case of Dong Cheng, Cao Cao can be regarded as killing people, but he can ignore Fu Wan, the father of Queen Fu, and Kong Rong, who has been close to this group of people, and can even involve Yang Biao, but these people are safe and sound, which is the best proof.
Therefore, it is normal for Cao Pi's crown ceremony and the group of scholars and doctors not to come, and Cao Cao naturally can't force them to come, forcing virtuous people to participate in his son's crown ceremony, which is what a reckless man does, and his reputation is too stinky. But now it's not purely about this problem, with Liu Hong's influence on the Tai students, it is still possible to invite some parents of the Tai students, plus the four major families of Yingchuan who are loyal to Cao Cao, this meeting is enough to match the identity of Cao Pi's son.
"The prince still needs to hand over the sword 'Yan' to me first, and there is a gift of a martial crown and a sword in this crown ceremony." Guo Jia said.
Cao Pi laughed: "It just so happens that this sword killed some people in Shanyang County, and it is good to put it at Mr. to get angry, but the sword is still in Xudu, and I will let Bo Ying send it to Mr. Mansion later." ”
Guo Jia smiled: "There is Lao Gongzi." After speaking, he glanced at Cao Pi's mount and said with a smile: "After the crown ceremony, Sikong will give Gongzi a foal, which is a good horse born from the mating of Lu Fengxian's BMW Chitu and the best Dawan good horse in the army. ”
"Chitu actually took it to be a stallion? Why didn't my father come and make a mount? Cao Pi never expected that Lu Bu's "Red Rabbit in the Horse" would be used as a stallion.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "That horse has lived for 17 years and has entered its twilight years, although the strength is still the best choice, but it will not take a few years, and it is better to be a stallion." ”
Cao Pi nodded and said, "I see!" ”
Guo Jia said at this time: "Sikong will return to the army from Guandu in a few days, and after the New Year, the son will have a crown ceremony, please wait for the day of the crown ceremony." ”
After Cao Pi thanked him, Guo Jia's carriage turned to another way and left, and Cao Pi asked Dianman to lead the horse back to his house, at which time Cao Zhen rode a horse and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Xian, why did you smile before you spoke?" Cao Pi knew that Cao Zhen must have something to say.
Cao Zhenyi stretched out his hand, handed out an object to Cao Pi, and said with a smile: "Give!" ”
Cao Pi took it and looked at it, but saw that it was the size of a fist, oval, smooth and slippery, like a green and yellow goose egg fruit, and it was very hard to start. Seeing this thing, Cao Pi immediately knew the name of this thing from the memory that did not belong to him.
"Papaya? Who's the Gift?"
"The one who gave the bow too!" Cao Zhen smiled meaningfully.
Cao Pi immediately laughed, such an active woman is really rare in the world. Cao Zhen smiled: "Brother, do you need a gift in return?" ”
Cao Pi asked Dian Man: "Bo Ying, can those things that were 'sold' from the Chen family's shop have good jade pendants?" ”
Dian Man immediately replied: "Yes, the servant purchased a jade pendant to prepare, and was about to sell it to Chang'an, I heard that the jade production place there was entrenched by thieves, and the jade could not come out, and the craftsmen who carved the jade came to us to Jingzhou to avoid trouble, because jade is scarce there, and the big households in Chang'an, who have just settled down, like this thing very much, and it is a hot commodity." ”
"Then you will take my virtuous brother to pick the best piece, let him take it in return, and I will go back to the house by myself." After Cao Pi finished speaking, he pulled the reins of the horse and slowly rode the horse back to the house on his own.
Cao Zhen is often with Cao Pi, and he is also relatively close to Dianman, and at this time Dianman said: "Childe, is this strange fruit really worth a piece of beautiful jade?" ”
"Have you read the Book of Songs?" Cao Zhen looked disdainful.
"I've read it, but what does this have to do with the Book of Songs?"
"Alas, Brother Boying! You're so careless! Have you ever heard of 'vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju'? Cao Zhen sighed.
Dian Man immediately received: "Bandit report, always think it's good and ......" After reading it, he patted his head and suddenly said: "Someone is more son-in-law to show love!" Childe sent Meiyu to think that it was good forever, whose daughter-in-law was so lucky? ”
Cao Zhen smiled: "Talk while walking, talk while walking." ”
