Chapter Forty-Seven: The Letters of the Son of Heaven!
On the afternoon of a certain year, the great classmate Cao Mengde in history was subjected to unprecedented and vicious blackmail......
In the stunned eyes of Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu, our classmate Jiang Zhe put the entire two hundred thousand money extorted from Cao Ying into a big bag and dragged it away with great difficulty......
Leaving Cao Ying, who was staring at the IOU in his hand with a depressed face......
And with the stunned group of strategists......
Jiang Zhe ran into Xiahoudun when he went out, and in line with the principle of not wasting labor, Jiang Zhe handed over the heavy responsibility of bringing the copper money back to his home to Xiahoudun, who seemed to be very honored to help Jiang Zhe, and walked away on his shoulders all of a sudden, which made Cao Ying feel extremely depressed......
Shaking his head, looking at the IOU in his hand with a smile, Cao Ying was helpless and funny, gently folded it and put it away, and said to the strategists, "Shouyi is worthy of being a national scholar, and Xuchang has been governed so prosperous in just a few months...... However, ladies and gentlemen, only then do you keep the transaction tax in righteousness...... I wonder what you think? ”
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, glanced at Xun Yu and Xun Yu with a smile, and said in unison, "This tax is wonderful!" Since then, Xuchang Market has not been at the mercy of any family! ”
I saw Xun You and Xun Yu frowning and silent.
Cao Ying could hear the ridicule in Guo Jia's words, and said to Xun Yu with a smile, "Wen Ruo and rest assured, you wait for me to vote for me in all difficulties, how can I, Cao Mengde, treat you badly?" According to the advantages mentioned in the righteous taxation...... Priority, if there is anything lacking in Xuchang in the future, give priority to the Xun family! ”
"Lord!" Guo Jia smiled strangely, "The lord doesn't want to show favoritism...... Well, so be it! Glancing at the palm of Xun You's secretly stretched out, he smiled secretly in his heart, the Xun family's wine storage is a good thing......
"Those who see it have a share!" Xi Zhicai approached Guo Jia and muttered.
Xun Yu smiled slightly, and said to Cao Ying, "Thank you for your compassion for the Xun family, and Yu is willing to donate 20,000 yuan in exchange for the priority of arms procurement in the mouth of the lord......"
"Twenty thousand?" Even Cao Ying, as the son of a rich man, was also a little surprised, and said hesitantly, "Wen Ruo, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount......
"The lord is still unknown?" Xi Zhicai said with a smile, "This is the intention of the Xun family to decide to help the lord!" ”
Cao Ying suddenly realized, and said with great joy, "I, Cao Mengde, will live up to the kindness of the Xun family!" ”
It's just that Guo Jia said lightly, "Wen Ruo, your clan brother also voted for the lord's office?" ”
"This ......" Xun Yu hesitated and said with some embarrassment, "Youruo (Xun Chen) left the house as early as the time Yu went to Xuzhou, as if he was going to vote for Yuan Benchu......
Yuan Benchu? Cao Ying frowned and thought about it, and then understood that this was the family's consistent practice, but it was also to continue the family's helplessness.
It's just that in this way, although Cao Ying understands and understands, he is always a little unhappy in his heart......
Guo Jia seemed to see through Cao Ying's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Lord, I don't know where Shouyi learned this, and we have to wait for him to tell him frankly...... Gee! ”
"Huh!" Xi Zhicai also secretly helped Xun Yu, and said happily, "An explanation of a transaction tax defrauded the lord of two hundred thousand yuan, this is righteous!" ”
Cao Wenyan suddenly threw away the unhappiness in his heart, and laughed with Jiang Zhe's IOU and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I have an IOU for keeping righteousness here!" ”
"Oh?" Guo Jia smiled strangely, "I don't know when Shouyi will be able to repay the money to the lord......"
"......" Cao Ying suddenly smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, a Cao soldier outside the door hurriedly entered and knocked on the ground, "Lord Qi, there is a letter from the Son of Heaven!" ”
"What?" Cao Ying glanced at Guo Jia and the others suspiciously, and said in a deep voice, "Biography! ”
It didn't take long for someone claiming to be the Son of Heaven to send an envoy inside.
When Cao Ying and the strategists saw him, they were immediately surprised, only to see that the messenger's clothes were torn, his face was yellow and thin, and his eyes were blank......
Yikes! What a rude I am! Cao Ying immediately got up, led the strategists and said, "It is the sin of not knowing that the angels are coming from afar, and I don't know what it is for the Son of Heaven to pass on the letters of the ministers?" ”
The messenger of the Son of Heaven glanced at Cao Ying blankly, put his hand into his arms and took out the letter of the Son of Heaven, and then said to Cao Ying, "Cao Yingjun, I haven't entered the next three grains of rice, I don't know if I can ...... it."
“…… Yes? Cao Ying paused for a moment, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly said, "Lai immediately asked the people in the house to prepare a banquet for the angels!" ”
"Then there is no need to ......," the man said weakly, "It is already March and there is no meat at all, if it is big fish and big meat, it will be killed, and I also ask Cao Yuanjun to prepare some home-cooked side dishes for me, ...... The sooner the better......"
Cao Ying was stunned and glanced at Guo Jia, Guo Jia hurriedly said, "It's so easy!" Then he called in the palace guards and ordered him to lead the messenger of the Son of Heaven down.
Xun Yu watched the man go away deeply, and then hesitated and said, "Look at it, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven is not doing well recently......
Cao Ying was deeply surprised, sighed and nodded, opened the letter of the Son of Heaven, and then his face became more and more joyful.
Guo Jia saw the joy on Cao Ying's face, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't it the Son of Heaven who summoned the lord to assist in the court?" ”
“…… How did Bonghyo know? Cao Ying looked at Guo Jia strangely and asked.
Guo Jia said with a faint smile, "I said that Qianjia has heard some things, and I heard that Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to go to Chang'an, but I don't know why, Fan Chou died, Xu Rong was nowhere to be found, and Li Zhuo and Guo Yan had another conflict...... Zhang Ji, the general of the chariot cavalry, didn't know how to let Baibo and Yellow Turban defeat these two thieves and ensure that the Son of Heaven returned to Luoyang......"
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big event?" Cao Ying's eyes widened and asked.
Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and said to Cao Ying, "Jia also accidentally saw the recital of Shouyi's review that made people investigate......
Cao Ying hurriedly flipped through the table that Jiang Zhe had reviewed, and after turning over countless pieces with the word "read" with a red pen, Cao Ying finally saw the chapter.
“…… It has been reported that there is civil unrest in Chang'an...... Baibo and yellow scarves enter Kou Chang'an...... The Son of Heaven and the hundred officials fled to Luoyang......"
Curiously glancing at Jiang Zhe's review, Cao Ying nodded, only to see a red circle drawn on the word "read" written in red pen......
With a cough, Cao Ying put down the chapter and said with a strange expression, "It seems that Shouyi has also understood in his heart, everyone, if today's son is in trouble, call me to enter the court to save him, I am very anxious, I don't know what you think?" ”
Xi Zhicai shook the wine bag and said, "Such a God-given opportunity, why didn't the lord do it?" ”
Guo Jia also echoed, "If you say to the Son of Heaven that Luoyang is declining and the Jingshi is not there, you might as well move Xuchang ......"
Xun Yu nodded and said, "This matter will be dealt with quickly!" If it is picked up by other princes, we will be passive! Xun Yu echoed his uncle's words.
Seeing that all the strategists were in agreement, Cao Ying hurriedly recruited the generals in Xuchang and ...... Jiang Zhe, who was about to go home to buy a wedding......
After estimating an hour, everyone arrived, sitting in the hall, Jiang Zhe naturally sat first on the left, followed by Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, as for Cheng Yu Mao Jue and others, they naturally couldn't reach Yanzhou.
On the right side of the military generals, the first is naturally Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren under it, and then Xiahou Yuan, but Xiahou Yuan is also in Yanzhou, so it is empty, and then Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Yu Ban, Li Dian is valued by Jiang Zhe, Cao Ying tried his talent, and it was the talent of the general, so Li Dian was at the bottom.
Glancing at Xiahoudun and knowing that he was illiterate, Cao Ying took out a piece of paper and said to Cao Ren, "Zixiao, read it to you!" ”
"Yes!" Cao Ren got up and walked over to take the paper in Cao Ying's hand, and looked at Cao Ying with some doubts......
"Huh?" Cao Ying looked at Cao Ren strangely and said suspiciously, "Read! ”
"Uh...... Be! I saw Cao Ren glance at Jiang Zhe, who seemed to be out of the world, and said slowly, "Today, I will borrow 200,000 yuan from Meng De, and I ......will return it when I have money in the future."
"Pounce!" Xi Zhicai squirted out a mouthful of wine, Guo Jia opened his mouth and immediately laughed, Xun Yu Xun You also lowered his head and laughed secretly, and then the audience was puzzled.
"Stay!" Cao Ying seemed to have sensed Jiang Zhe's ill-intentioned eyes, hurriedly took back the IOU from Cao Ren's hand, took out the letter from the Son of Heaven and him, secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe with a red face and gritted teeth, coughed and said, "Read this!" ”
Cao Renhu glanced at it suspiciously, and saw that it was really a letter from the Son of Heaven, so he slowly read, "To Yanzhou Assassin Shi Cao!" I...... Cough! Here's how it is written...... When it is said that the country is in trouble, all the princes have different intentions, but Meng De is the only one who chases the thief, although he is defeated, he is still glorious! I...... I am very pleased, and now Li urges Guo Yan and the two thieves to turn against him, and I ...... I was fortunate enough to escape and ascend to heaven, but the imperial city was in trouble, and I and the hundred officials had nowhere to live, no food, no clothing, but these two thieves were still persecuted, waving the army to kill, hoping that Yanzhou assassin Shi Cao thought of the Han Sheji, and waved the army to save the ...... I can't thank you enough......"
"The two thieves Li Xuan and Guo Yan are persecuting the Son of Heaven?" Xun Yu's face was resentful, Xun Yu shook his head and sighed.
Cao Ying stubbornly looked at Jiang Zhe, and said with a smile, "Shouyi, public affairs are important, and the Son of Heaven is important, I don't know what to think about Shouyi?" ”
Everyone looked at Jiang Zhe silently, waiting for Jiang Zhe to speak.
Seeing Cao Ying put up such a big hat, Jiang Zhe had no choice but to put down the matter of Fang Cai, and thought in his heart, this is the princes of the Son of Heaven in history......
"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes!"
"......" Xun Yu's face was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Shouyi? How inappropriate it is to coerce words! At that time, the princes were ordered by the Son of Heaven! ”
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and they both thought in their hearts, worthy of righteousness, it turned out that he also thought of ......
"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes? Serve the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Cao Ying muttered these two sentences, and his puzzled eyes turned around on Jiang Zhe and Xun Yu's faces, and the difference was a thousand miles......
"Oh?" Jiang Zhe suddenly realized, "It turned out that the Son of Heaven ordered the princes......" Could it be that the records in history are wrong?
Xun Yu frowned, looking at Jiang Zhe who wanted to say something, but thinking that today's troubled times were all caused by the immorality of the Son of Heaven, he sighed secretly.
"That's it! Don't be sarcastic! Guo Jia said peacefully, "Whether it is to coerce the Son of Heaven or to serve the Son of Heaven, wait until the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials arrive in Xuchang before speaking!" ”
Xi Zhicai also said with a smile, "The words of righteousness are straightforward, I am afraid that no matter what we do to the Son of Heaven in the future, we will be held hostage in the eyes ......of all the princes."
Cao Ying said with a wry smile, "I really want to save the Son of Heaven and water and fire, if I am misunderstood by the world......"
Guo Jia's face tightened when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "My lord, what if you are misunderstood by the people of the world?" You won't send troops to save the Son of Heaven? Waiting for people like Yuan Shao to pick up the Son of Heaven? Shall I wait and be forced by it step by step? ”
Cao Ying hesitated and said, "I was originally a friend of Ying, why did I persecute Ying?" ”
Guo Jia got up and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, Jia resigns!" ”
"This ......" Cao Ying's face changed greatly.
Xi Zhicai sighed and persuaded, "Don't worry, wait for me to speak to the lord!" The lord, everything can be sought from the heart, the ambition of the lord is to calm the world, and sooner or later there will be a fight with Yuan Benchu, and the old love is more important than the world? If the lord does not take the Son of Heaven, it will be too late to regret it......"
Cao Ying hesitated left and right, and suddenly saw Jiang Zhe, as if he had caught something, and hurriedly said, "Shouyi, what do you say?" ”
Isn't Cao Ying a hero in history? Jiang Zhe was puzzled in his heart, looked at Cao Ying and said hesitantly, "Meng De, timid, not like you......"
"......" Cao Ying's face changed greatly, and he was silent for a long time, then he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Shouyi's words shocked me, I am Cao Mengde!" People who want to level the world! What if everyone in the world scolds me? Listen to the generals! Gather your troops and horses, and follow me to the rescue! ”
Righteousness! You've got you to help me! I, Cao Mengde, will calm the world! Primordial ...... Alas!
