Cao Pi took the papaya back to the house, and was quite interested in this Xiahou son-in-law who "threw himself into the papaya", and it was very rare for a woman born in this era to be able to show love to a person so directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Pi also agreed very simply, the reason is very simple, because as the eldest son of the ancestral hall, it is also necessary for him to marry a wife and concubine, so as to ensure that his house is prosperous.

Besides, this woman is so blatant to let Cao Zhen send papaya, Cao Pi doesn't believe that Xiahou Yuan, who is a father, will not know about it, such a move can only show the behavior of Xiahou Yuan's adopted daughter who agreed to it, Cao Pi can't offend Xiahou Yuan by himself, if Cao Cao feels that it is inappropriate, he will naturally help himself refuse, but Cao Pi thinks that Cao Cao will not refuse, at most he will postpone the marriage, and only when he has the wife of the main house will he include the daughter-in-law of the Xiahou family in the door, as far as Xiahou Yuan's identity is concerned, His status is not enough for his adopted daughter to get the status of Cao Pi's main house, and the same is true of Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi.

When she returned to the mansion, Lu Lingqi, who was practicing martial arts outside, saw the papaya in Cao Pi's hand, snorted lightly, and continued to abuse the papaya. Cao Pi didn't care, returned to the backyard and handed the papaya to Shu'er, asked her to find a place to bury it outside, and then went to practice martial arts and study.

The last few days of the fifth year of Jian'an passed without shock, with the victory of the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's prestige in the imperial court has reached its peak, and now Cao Cao is not just a word of the law, but a play can make the Son of Heaven edict, and its performance is no different from the holy decree.

In December, Duan Xuan, an old minister who returned to the east in Chang'an, wrote to the imperial court, saying that he was old and begged to return to Xudu for retirement.

When he defeated Li Dao Guo Yan, Duan Xuan did not dare to support the old ministers who returned to the east in Xudu, now Dong Cheng is dead, Yuan Shao is defeated, Duan Xuan knows that if he does not take the initiative to do something to relieve Cao Cao's suspicion at this time, I am afraid that he will suffer next, so he chose to write a letter to ask to return to Xudu, in this way, the person in charge of Chang'an is Zhong Xuan, the captain of the school, and the military and political power is in Zhong Xuan, which also means that from Chang'an to Luoyang to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, Cao Cao has completely mastered these territories.

When Duan Xuan returned to Xudu, he also brought a thousand Northwest prime-aged war horses purchased by Zhong Xuan in the Guanzhong territory, which gave Cao Cao the capital to expand the tiger and leopard ride, and after the war horse returned to Xudu, Cao Cao immediately handed it over to Ren Jun, so that he could raise it well, and when he was ready to come back, he recruited new people to join the tiger and leopard horse.

Cao Cao returned to Xudu on the last day of December of the fifth year of Jian'an with the victorious army, as soon as he returned to Xudu, all the generals and strategists returned home to prepare for the New Year, and the celebration banquet had already been held in the various counties and counties along the way back to the army.

This time the army returned to the gate of Xudu, the Son of Heaven Liu Xie and the hundred officials personally greeted him at the gate of the city, Cao Cao naturally accepted it calmly, and after dealing with the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, Cao Cao hurriedly returned to the mansion and immediately summoned Cao Pi to his study to meet.

Cao's study is much larger than Cao Pi's study, and there are many books, most of these books were collected by Cao Cao after gaining a foothold in Yuzhou. These bamboo slips and paper are full of all kinds of handwriting, some neat, and rough, some good, some bad, to such books and papers There are three carts outside the study of Caofu, and several sergeants keep moving the books and paper on the carts into the study.

Seeing Cao Pi enter the study, without waiting for his son to salute, Cao Cao pointed to the books and papers on the ground and said: "These are the letters obtained after breaking Yuan Shao's camp, among which the father's generals, hundreds of officials in the court and even local wealthy families, and scholars have correspondents with Yuan Shao. ”

Cao Pi glanced at the messy books and papers, and replied, "The child thinks that he should not dispose of them, and these letters will be quickly transported outside the city and burned to calm the hearts of these people." ”

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Why?" ”

"If there are only a few people, it can still be disposed of, judging from these books and papers, there are more than hundreds of people who correspond with Yuan Shao. Not to mention dealing with them one by one, even if one of them is punished for collaborating with the enemy, it will put the hundreds of thousands of people who communicate in danger, and my father also said that these people are either hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government, or they are subordinate generals, no matter how bad they are, they are also local wealthy families, scholars, and not some ordinary people, if they are either famous, wise, martial, or there will be hundreds of families, if these people make radical moves because of their own danger, I am afraid that the foundation of my father's great victory will be destroyed in the hands of this group of people who seek self-protection. Cao Pi said.

Cao Cao laughed: "I thought that my son would advise his father with benevolence and virtue, but he didn't want to break the key with a word, and he won the heart of his father. After speaking, he drank to Xu Chu outside the door: "Don't move, burn it!" After saying that, Cao Cao pulled Cao Pi out of the study and walked to another courtyard, that courtyard is a garden, it is winter, there are only branches in the garden, there is nothing to see, but it is better to be quiet.

"On the eleventh day of the first month of the next year, my father will give my son a crown ceremony. Before that, he played the four skills of the Son of Heaven for his father, the increase of rice production for his father, the control of water by Chen Liu, the suppression of thieves in Shanyang, and the innovation of arithmetic. Exempt from filial piety and honesty to directly seal my son to an official position, I don't know my son's intentions and officials? Cao Cao pulled Cao Pi to the pavilion in the courtyard and stopped and asked.

Cao Pi knew very well that Cao Cao had already decided to make himself an official, and now he just wanted to hear what official he wanted to be, of course, this was not to ask for his son's opinion, but to hear some information from his son's wishes to determine his son's heart.

The more people in high positions, the more they like to play this kind of trick, for example, the father in his previous life once inadvertently asked the secretary around him where he wanted to go if he was transferred, and the secretary directly said that he wanted to go to the local area to exercise, and then his father came home and said to his mother: "xxx said that he wants to go to the place to exercise and exercise, his degree is very good, he has qualifications, and he is willing to work, that is, the core organ is not a problem, but he wants to go to the local exercise, this is to accumulate grassroots experience, and the ambition is big!" ”

In a sentence, you can judge a person's heart based on the other party's qualifications, knowledge, and character, and this ability Cao Pi believes that both his father in his previous life and the father in front of him have such ability.

Then this answer is crucial, although it has reached the position of the eldest son, but the test is still everywhere.
