Chapter 130: Cao Mengde's Meaning

It's a hot summer day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe there is a little coolness outside the city of Luoyang, and even if the temperature in the city is not as high as in later generations, it is still very hot.

The material of the clothes and pants is not as good as that of later generations, the big deal is silk, there are no more and better cooling measures, and it is so hot that it can make people's throats smoke without rain for a few days.

Besides, people in this era pay great attention to etiquette, everywhere is a long shirt and horse coat, you have to wear a short dress, either people think you are a rough person, or you are a person who does not understand etiquette.

Either way, they will be criticized.

However, in a conspicuous courtyard in Luoyang City, several big men were not so particular, wearing sinus pants and lying on the mat under the grape trellis to take a nap.

This is the apartment of the former Taiwei Cao Song, and further on is the house of his adoptive father Cao Teng.

Regarding Cao's life experience, "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded: Mo can judge his birth from the end. In fact, Cao Song's original surname is Xiahou and he is Xiahou's uncle.

At the end of Emperor Huan, Cao Song led the division to be the lieutenant. Emperor Ling worshiped Dasi Nong and Da Honglu, and replaced Cui Lie as a captain.

and ten permanent servants of the chaotic government, Song resigned from the official residence in Luoyang.

Cao Song's adoptive father, Cao Teng, was an important figure in the history of the Later Han Dynasty.

He was the Han Dynasty Minister Cao Shen, served the four emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Shun, Emperor Chong, Emperor Qin and Emperor Huan, and Emperor Huan's accession to the throne was thanks to Cao Teng, who was also named the Marquis of Fei Ting, and the official worshiped Da Changqiu.

Cao Song is not an honest person like his adoptive father, he has been an official for many years, and because of his power and profit, the Cao family can be described as a rich party.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a system of spending money and donating officials in the court, and Cao Song was not satisfied with the position of Dahonglu, and spent 10,000 gold to donate the post of Taiwei for himself.

Taiwei was second only to the general, and Cao Song reached the peak of his political career. Jiuqing was originally the duty, because Zang bought a lieutenant.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Emperor Ling was not Emperor Huan, and besides, the eunuch group where his adoptive father belonged had been hated by the world, this person was quite vigilant and resigned decisively, without considering that this was an official he had donated with 10,000 gold.

Originally, Cao Song also planned to make his son a rich man, and once hated this eldest son.

Whether it is his adoptive father or himself, it is estimated that he does not have a good reputation among the people, and if the eldest son comes out one day, he does not need to bear the infamy of his ancestors, but will think that Cao A will hide the mud and not be stained.

The world is unpredictable, when the Zhao family's Qilin'er actually had Zhao Zhong's hand tail in it, Cao Song, who was supposed to return to his hometown after Dong Zhuo usurped power, went into hiding in advance.

Since the eunuchs are all involved in Zhao Yun's incident and there is no opposition in the market, his dead ghost adoptive father is not worth mentioning compared to Zhao Zhong, a surviving eunuch.

Of course, he just quietly went back to recharge his energy for his son's future career and make preparations in advance.

After all, from a historical point of view, at the end of a dynasty, there will always be all kinds of chaos, and the Han at this time looks full of desolation, and there are rebels everywhere among the people.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and my son has his own accumulated assets, and I believe that there will be dazzling achievements in the future.

Huddle for warmth, no matter what era or class it is, it's normal.

The military generals who once followed Gaozu gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and were slowly forgotten with the passage of time.

When Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying were in Gaozu, the relationship between the CP was average. Their descendants live together, and they are good friends with each other, otherwise how could Cao Teng succeed Xiahoudun's uncle?

Although Cao Cao was an inconspicuous speaker in the capital, he usually only had the opportunity to meet the emperor when he was in the Great Dynasty.

In private, he is not idle, and is always communicating with his father about the current situation.

No, seeing that such a thing as the assassination came out, Cao Teng was worried about the safety of his eldest son, so he asked Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong to go to Luoyang, for fear that something would happen to him too.

The old man knows what kind of virtue his eldest son is, Cao Cao was vigorous when he was young, and he was good friends with Yuan Shao, so he was a ranger.

Meng De's amount of alcohol is already good, plus he often gets some immortal drunkenness from Zhao Yun's hands to drink, and fighting with these junior brothers is naturally a complete victory.

History is confusing, and there will always be some coincidences, such as Cao Cao's first strategist, Cheng Yu, who was unearthed by Cao Song's old man.

After all, in this place in the capital, it is not enough to have money and force, you must have extraordinary brains.

Cao Cao got up and looked at Cheng Yu, who was dressed as a scribe on the chair next to him, who also opened his eyes and opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and he didn't call anyone, so he didn't get dressed a few times.

"Brother Zhongde, I made you smile." Cao Cao said softly. Let's go to another secluded courtyard first.

Cheng Yu didn't say a word, just nodded lightly, got up and followed.

Suddenly, Cao Cao's ears felt something stirring, and he suddenly looked back at the mat, and the four of them were still snoring like thunder. I quietly observed again, and found that there was nothing unusual on their faces, and they were really drunk.

Hearing the footsteps walking away, Cao Hong was frightened into a cold sweat, after all, Cao Song or Cao Cao, the nominal surname is Cao, but in essence he is the descendant of the Xiahou family.

He drank a good amount of alcohol in itself, and at first he secretly cheated when drinking, and he was not really drunk, but his head was dizzy.

Cao Hong thinks that he is too careful, and at the moment it seems that Cao Cao treats himself and others equally, tilts his head, and really falls asleep this time.

This small courtyard looks ordinary, the walls are still a little mottled, and the moss grows very luxuriantly.

In the past, when Cao Song was in Luoyang, Cao Cao trembled every time he came in, for fear of being punished by his father.

Just when he sighed, the two had already entered the courtyard, and two old men seemed to be asleep, but they still saluted respectfully before sitting down on the stone bench.

Unlike the Zhao family, whether in the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, the royal family was very wary of the descendants of the late Zhao State. The Cao family and the Xiahou family are the founding heroes, and they have a lot of guidance skills.

It can be said that the military generals of the two families shine in history, which is not unrelated to the guidance techniques collected by their ancestors.

The two old men are about the same status as the people who really set the ancestral land of the Zhao family, they don't care about anything in the family, they just cultivate all day long, in order to reach the legendary realm.

This time, Cao Song was able to invite the two elders to come out, this kind of person who would not appear unless he wanted to exterminate the clan, the price he spent was not ordinarily high.

The old warrior is also a human being, he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also has his own children and grandchildren, Cao Song opened the way with invincible money, and finally let them come to Luoyang, and Cao Cao also offered the two old men as immortals.

"Brother Zhongde," Cao Mengde said sincerely, "my father told me in the letter that I would treat you like a brother. Even though we have just met, I think you are my mentor and friend. ”

Although this man didn't talk much at the wine table, Cao Cao found that every time he spoke, he was to the point.

"Meng De doesn't need to be polite," Cheng Yu sighed slightly: "Today is a lot of disturbances, and I am still stumbling for my brother's New Year." At the invitation of the princess, I will do my best, and if you have anything to say, I will refer to it for you. ”

"Brother, this dispute between the Taoist family and Zhao Yun, I am optimistic about the Zhao family." Cao Cao said bluntly: "I want to intervene and help Zilong, what does my brother think?" ”

"Mengde, why do you have to go to this troubled water?" Cheng Yu was puzzled. (To be continued.) )
