Cao Chao is the grandson of Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi and the son of Cao Lin, King of the East China Sea...... Of course, that Cao Chao has not been born at all at this time, and he may not be digging a lot of dung in which corner - just kidding, Cao Pilian's son is still in his prime, where did his grandson come out?

The Cao Chao in front of Shi Xun should not have existed in the world, and he was born by luck on this timeline, but he snatched the name of his cousin and nephew, which is also an outlier. This son is Cao Ang's son-in-law, and in the original history, Cao Ang's youth died in Wancheng, so there was no heir left. And in this life, Cao Angshun got out of trouble, married the daughter of Nanyang He, and gave birth to this Cao Chao - it was the first time I had seen Xun this time.

To say that this He daughter is indeed everyone's lady, her grandfather He Hao, was a friend of Yuan Shao, supplemented by a eunuch, famous all over the world, and then Dong Zhuo was in the dark and died of grief. He Hao met Cao Cao for the first time, that is, Yun: "The Han family is about to die, and those who are safe in the world must also be this person." He also recommended to Cao Cao: "Yingchuan Xunyu, Wang Zuo's vessel." "So Cao Cao is very grateful to this Chief He. Later, Xun Yu was still the secretary of the order, and sent people to the west to welcome his uncle Xun Shuang into Xu, and moved to bury the bones of He Hao, the remnants of the He family, and returned slightly. Cao Cao knew that He Hao had a granddaughter who was similar to his eldest son Cao Ang, so he personally hired him and married him as a son-in-law.

To say that Cao Ang is Cao Cao's biological son after all, although the personalities of the two are very different, and the political concepts are almost opposite, there are also a lot of things in common, such as lust. Cao Ang also had many concubines, and gave birth to his eldest son named Cao Yu, who was fourteen years old, and he had seen it; Although this Cao Chao is a son-in-law, he is a second child, and this is the first time he has met.

It's weird to think about. It stands to reason that he goes in and out of the Duke of Wei's mansion and the prince's mansion every day. There is no reason why Cao Chao, who is the grandson of the Cao family, is so big. He had only seen it for the first time. However, there is such a coincidence in the world, and the two always pass by for various reasons, until they meet today.

With such a circle of kung fu in his head, the dog-fighting and menacing maid had already knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and begged for Shixun's forgiveness. It was Xun who smiled slightly, and ignored it—he wouldn't be angry with a woman—and hurriedly stretched out his hands to support Cao Chao, and asked him, "Is the Duke of Wei's special envoy Gongzi coming to greet him?" ”

This Cao Chao is very respectful. has the air of a father, but he is lively and agile - otherwise he would not almost hit himself on the head - seems to be more like his uncle Cao Pi and Cao Zhang (of course, Cao Ang was seven or eight years old What kind of virtue he had, Shixun has never been able to see it), with a round face and big eyes, he is so likable to look at. After Cao Chao got up, he still folded his sleeves and replied: "My father often said that Ling Jun is the leader of the world's articles and a scholar of scriptures, and he asks the boy to ask for advice when he sees it." So I heard that the adults were coming. I'm here to see you. ”

Yes Hoon said yes, yes. But I have something important to ask to see Wei Gong, let's have a good chat another day. But seeing Cao Chao suddenly raised his head, he looked at Shi Xun, and asked him: "Before my father left the capital this time, he often sighed to the adults, and the clouds were 'changeable, and Lourdes was not long', the kid didn't know what it meant, and now he asked." ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in his heart that Cao Ang, this kid really complained about me. He stroked Cao Chao's little head and replied softly: "People's hearts are fickle, and Qing's father doesn't notice its changes, and his other worldly virtues are different. "Is your father himself too pedantic, does he still have the face to blame me?

However, it is estimated that just these two sentences, Cao Chao at a young age also understands or not. The little guy was still flashing his big eyes, and he wanted to ask again, but he saw Shixun withdraw his right hand and turn his head away, as if to leave. After all, he was a young man, and he hurriedly ran to the front to lead the way: "The kid led the adults to meet the grandfather." ”

After a short time, he came to the door of Cao Cao's study, and the guards waited to ask for his name, and Cao Chao first shouted at the top of his voice: "Father Wang, it is Ling Jun who has come to pay respect." Listening to the sound of "click", the door opened, Cao Cao was dressed in pajamas, barefoot, ran out of the door in person, stretched out his hand to hug Cao Chao, and asked with a smile: "If you bring your grandmother and son-in-law here?" ”

Shi Xun hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The minister has returned from Liangzhou, please pay tribute to Duke Wei." Cao Cao waved his hand and said that in the deep courtyard, not above the court, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. Then he let go of Cao Chao, told the child to play by himself, and turned around to lead Shixun inside.

Cao Cao's study is very simple and has almost no decorations. The west and north walls were elevated, full of all kinds of books and slips, and there was a high table in front of the window, in front of which were two chairs—this was also modeled after the place where Xun lived, after all, it was much more comfortable to sit with his feet down than to sit cross-legged.

Cao Cao is not an ascetic, nor is he a gentleman, and he has no attachment to those traditional customs that are not close to the Confucian etiquette system - although until the Song Dynasty, there were still people who insisted on kneeling and sitting as a courtesy, and it was nonsense to sit with their feet down, which was simply a broken braincase - so every time Xun played any new tricks, he only had to look at the convenience, and it was necessary to imitate. In contrast, Zhuge Liang has never been accustomed to sitting in a chair, especially before being in front of the elder - the difference in temperament between the two can also be seen.

At that moment, Cao Cao pulled over the chair and pulled Shixun to sit down, and the two of them could be described as "talking on their knees". Cao Cao first asked, why did you come back so quickly? It was inconvenient for Shi Xun to explain his intention as soon as he opened his mouth, saying that I was quick to whip up, and I had to intercede for Hua Tuo, so I had to reply pretendedly: "After a long separation, I miss Duke Wei, so I don't dare to be late." ”

Cao Cao smiled and stretched out his finger and said Don't come to this set, you must be thinking about your wife, not because you miss me. Then he asked: "Hongfu is in Liangzhou, what have you seen and heard?" ”

It was Xun who was patient and told the story of his trip to Liangzhou. Hearing that he conspired with Jiang Xu and others and exiled Chen Gong, Cao Cao not only did not show the slightest joy on his face, but slapped the table and sighed: "I will not live up to the public platform, and the public platform will not bear me - although this person does not go, Liangzhou is uneasy, but he has to make his whole life, Hongfu knows me." "Thank you for understanding my feelings, and for not really killing Chen Gong.

Shi Xun shook his head: "Gongtai is wise, although he is far away in Dunhuang, there may be a day of return, the lord should not be neglected." "Cao Cao said that then we must hurry up and stabilize the states in the eastern part of the country, even if Chen Gong returns and Lu Bu turns his face, then he will not be afraid-" The former Kong Ming has taken over the four counties of Jingnan, and he will return to the capital in a few days. ”

Since Cao Ang was mentioned, Cao Cao's train of thought jumped instantly, and he suddenly got closer, and asked in a low voice Is it Xun, the day before yesterday, Lu Hong played the conversation between you and Zixiu, with your signature on it, sure enough, did my stupid son really say those nonsense words? Shi Xun replied ambiguously: "Zixiu doesn't want the lord to be promoted, and I have also been, so I shouldn't fold my face and cause him to lie nonsense." "That's exactly what he meant, and what he said...... Maybe my rhetoric is also a little more intense, so if you are in a hurry, it will not be appropriate to say it. As for whether it's not easy to say a word, sorry, I can't remember.

Cao Cao held his forehead: "How to deal with ......"

It was Xun who had just heard what Cao Ang said relayed by Cao Chao, and at this time he was holding back a fire in his heart for his wife and nephew, and instinctively didn't want to say anything good about him. But after all, it is a big taboo to separate other people's fathers and sons, and Cao Cao is a sensitive person, I am afraid it is easy to hear the position in his own words. So he frowned slightly, thought about it, and deliberately went around in a circle: "When Zixiu was young, he was on the side of the lord and couldn't take charge alone, so his thinking was biased." It is also beneficial to let it go out now, so that you can know the various conditions of people. ”

Don't look at Cao Ang who followed Cao Cao into battle at a young age, and later became Prime Minister Zuo Er as a general in the five senses, not counting the flowers in the greenhouse, but with Cao Cao's big tree to shelter from the wind and rain, he really didn't experience too many ups and downs. In the army, he rarely goes to the front line, in politics, Cao Cao has long drawn the rules and regulations, and there are many courtiers around him, which makes him too conformist, how can his thinking and vision be broadened? Cao Ang's daily sights are all smiling faces, how does he know the sinister nature of the world, how can he understand the situation, there is something that has to be done? His innocence, in fact, was also raised by you, and now you put him alone in other places, let him experience the wind and rain, and observe the real society, should be able to reverse his unrealistic ideas.

In fact, Xun had another layer of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't dare to declare it. That is: Cao Ang is still in Anyi, Cao Pi dares to do small tricks behind his father's back, and now that Cao Ang is gone, God knows what tricks Cao Lao Er can play - I will withdraw and wait and see.

He doesn't plan to entangle with Cao Cao on this issue, and he has a big heir, although he is a relative, he can mix less or less. So he quickly diverted the topic and returned to the trip to Liangzhou, and by the way, he chose his thoughts on the importance of opening up the Silk Road, and made a statement to Cao Cao. Cao Cao listened and groaned, but he did not make a conclusion on the spot. In the end, it was Xun who said that Lu Bu asked for the establishment of the five counties, and Cao Cao finally opened his mouth: "I seal the five counties, and the five counties of Buyi, no." ”

Shi Xun said that it is estimated that Lu Bu is unwilling to give up Jincheng - "And Jincheng is close to Qiang, and it can also be contained." "Cao Cao said that then delete Wuwei, divide a piece of land to connect Jincheng with Zhangye, and finally give him the four counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Jincheng-" can be discussed with the group again. "I'll put forward this idea first, let's find a few more people to discuss it another day.

After the trip to Liangzhou, Shi Xun looked at Cao Cao's expression, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the results of his mission, and he finally had the courage to introduce the topic: "The minister returned in a hurry and went to prison for Wen Huatuo - this person was recommended by the minister, and he came to ask the lord for his guilt." ”

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand: "He killed himself, and he has nothing to do with Hongfu, but he doesn't have to worry about it." Yes Xun pretended to be relieved, and then asked tightly, after Hua Tuo was imprisoned, did he write a letter to ask for guilt? I want to go to prison and see him so that he can know to repent, but what?

When Cao Cao heard this, he sneered slightly: "Hongfu doesn't have to intercede for Hua, I was killed yesterday!" (To be continued......)

PS: The mystery of Cao Chao is solved. Anyway, why is it that only when this kind of small trick comes out, it will instantly gain several comment posts? Readers, the focus of your interest is really weird......
