Chapter 5 Luoyang Prodigy
A majestic city wall was towering, and the huge gate that could hold three carriages in parallel alone was enough to surprise Wei Tao.
Although when Chen Liuhe was in Chen, Wei Tao was the city of this era was very magnificent, but when he saw where Luoyang was, he was even more surprised.
"This is Luoyang!"
Wei Tao really had to sigh at the wisdom of the Chinese nation, standing in front of this city gate, Wei Tao only felt his own insignificance.
"Huh...... Indeed, this is Luoyang, the center of my Han! ”
Cao Cao smiled slightly, and there was a kind of pride in his words.
"Ziyu, let's go, you still have enough time to watch slowly."
Ziyu is the word that his father chose for himself when Wei Tao passed by the house before he was about to come to Luoyang.
Walking into it, Luoyang really deserves to be the capital of the Han Dynasty, the crowd is endless, everyone's clothes are gorgeous, and there is the kind of confidence that is not found elsewhere between the exchanges, compared to Chenliu is a small county town in tatters.
"Luoyang, I'm Cao Mengde back again!"
Just after stepping through the city gate and seeing such a prosperous scene, Cao Cao paused slightly, but whispered a little excitedly.
Yes, it's excitement, not exclamation, it's more like saying to yourself: since I'm back, then it's time to make a big deal!
Yilang, with a rank ratio of 600 stones, can only be appointed by virtuous and upright people, which is already a large official position in the Han Dynasty.
With the ability of the Cao family and the Wei family, they naturally set up an industry in Luoyang early, so with Cao Cao, he directly led Wei Tao to move in.
Although he also hired a lot of people, obviously, at this time, Wei Tao was the only person who could be regarded as a confidant next to Cao Cao, so Wei Tao directly took over the errand of the steward.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.
"Nonsense! Monkey business! ”
Cao Cao slapped the desk fiercely, shouted angrily in his study, and suddenly threw away the bamboo slip in his hand.
After pacing back and forth in the room for a few steps, Cao Cao let out a long sigh and turned his head to look at Wei Tao.
"Ziyu, did you say that I was wrong to return to Luoyang this time?"
The councillor is an adviser to deal with, and there is no need to take turns on duty, acting as a guard portal and other affairs, but Wei Tao is also a knowledgeable Taoist, and for more than two months, Cao Cao has been more like a decoration.
With Cao Cao's ability, he has excellent proposals for many affairs, but unfortunately he said it, but it didn't have the slightest effect.
Although Cao Cao is also regarded as a eunuch, but he offended the eunuchs several times, although the eunuchs in the court did not particularly target him, it was not difficult to ignore him.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cao was naturally extremely depressed, and almost every time he returned from the previous dynasty, he was more or less angry.
It's just that there hasn't been a time like this.
"Big brother, what the hell is going on?"
"The flooding of the Huai River should have been managed, but the result was to report a bumper harvest on both sides of the Huai River this year, and it should be rewarded for its meritorious work in water control. I wrote my own opinion, but I was dealt with with as 'I haven't seen it myself, how do I know'. From now on, the road to the Huai River is not close, and this statement seems to have some truth, but this year's Huai River flood, you and I saw it some time ago, but it's a pity! Alas! ”
Cao Cao let out a sigh and obviously calmed down, and when he said the most, he just let out a long sigh, but Wei Tao could see that he had recovered.
can only be said to be worthy of Cao Cao.
"Big brother, I don't know that there are so many Lu Dao, I just know that Lu Dao has a clear conscience."
Wei Tao naturally didn't really know what to say, but after hearing the words 'clear conscience', Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then smiled again.
"A clear conscience is not enough, I, Cao Mengde, hope to be able to raise my voice again and let the Quartet come to congratulate!"
Wei Tao also smiled to himself, Cao Cao really didn't need to be persuaded by anyone.
"Big brother, it's a very sunny day today, why don't we go out for a trip?"
"That's great!"
Although he relieved the anger in his heart, Cao Cao had no intention of taking care of affairs, so he immediately responded.
For more than two months, in fact, Wei Tao didn't play much in Luoyang, but more practiced martial arts in the house.
Luoyang is prosperous, and there are countless vendors of all kinds, but both Cao Cao and Wei Tao are well-informed figures, so they will naturally not be fascinated by it.
Especially Cao Cao, although he untied the knot, he still frowned lightly between the walks, obviously thinking about the affairs of the court.
"Hey, what are you pulling me for? I've already said that this burden is mine, and if you insist on framing me for stealing things, be careful that I'm not polite to you, don't think that if you're a child, I won't beat you! ”
At this moment, there was a commotion in front of me, and I looked carefully at the inside and outside of many people.
Cao Cao and Wei Tao were both a little curious, and immediately pushed aside the crowd and stepped inside.
Surrounded by the circle was an old man who was sitting on the ground, a boy about five or six years old, and a man who was just carrying a burden.
"What's going on here?"
Wei Tao asked directly, although Wei Tao was young and only dressed in civilian clothes, but he didn't dare to ignore it at first sight.
What's more, Cao Cao returned from the previous dynasty and never changed his clothes.
This is Luoyang, and those who grew up in Luoyang can naturally tell that Cao Cao is a member of the official family.
"Your Excellency, you are here to judge. I was walking well on this road before, I didn't know that this old man just bumped into me, I kindly helped him up, but I didn't want this kid to rush out and grab me and say that my burden belongs to the old man. Isn't that wronged! ”
The man was the most perceptive, and he said first.
"Among this baggage is the things I am going to go to the shop to exchange for some money turnover, where will it be the old man's things, it is obvious that they want to blackmail!"
"You talk nonsense!"
At this moment, the boy just shouted.
But what is surprising is that even at this time, the young man did not see any anxious looks, and first bowed to Cao Cao and the two before speaking.
"I didn't know this old man, but when I was on the road, I saw the man looking around, and after seeing the old man, he deliberately bumped into it, and knocked down the burden in the old man's arms, and then after helping the old man up, he took the burden directly into his arms. I couldn't get angry for a while, and that's why I stepped forward and grabbed him. ”
This young man is handsome and has good manners, which makes people feel good at first sight, and he is obviously at least the son of a big family.
The old man's account was the same as the young man's.
On the surface, Cao Cao and Wei Tao were naturally more inclined to what the young man said.
But not to mention that both of them are cautious people, just because there are so many people gathered around, it is necessary to give an explanation.
"What happened at that time, but someone still saw and heard about it?"
Cao Cao frowned slightly, and then looked at the person next to him.
It's a pity that not everyone pays attention to this kind of thing, and passers-by shake their heads.
"I also have famous people in Luoyang City, where can I afford to be framed like this? The thing was originally mine, and you believe this nonsense that this wild hairy kid who didn't know where he came from? ”
The man named Ma San shook his head when he saw the others, and immediately became angry.
"Can you believe the words of a hairy boy?"
Rao was so sarcastic that the young man was still able to remain calm after taking two deep breaths.
At that moment, I saw that the young man gave another salute to Cao Cao.
"This lord, in Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi's son, I use my father's name as a guarantee, this burden is owned by this old man, this matter needs to be carefully inquired, and I hope that the lord can verify it in detail."
"The son of Luoyang Ling? Could you be the Luoyang prodigy Zhou Yu? I heard your name two days ago during the banquet, and I didn't expect to see it today, which is indeed extraordinary. ”
Cao Cao was slightly stunned and nodded and said, compared to how he treated Wei Tao, it was much worse.
In fact, this is also a matter of course, after all, Cao Cao is almost in his prime, so he naturally will not praise a kid casually.
At that time, he fell in love with Wei Tao, also because Wei Tao's ambition coincided with him, and the Wei family was friendly with the Cao family, which made Cao Cao pay special attention to Wei Tao.
Of course, if you look closely, you can still see Cao Cao's praise for Zhou Yu's ability.
However, Wei Tao on the side was a little stunned, this young man is Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu of the future governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Gongjin?
"It's Zhou Yu, the name of a prodigy doesn't dare to be. Ran Yu has been very strict since she was a child, and she doesn't dare to deceive, and she hopes that adults will be aware of it. ”
In history, Zhou Yu is a person with a 'magnificent temperament', and now the little boy has seen his bearing.
"I don't care if you're a prodigy or a teenager, you don't think you're relying on me! I still have urgent matters, so I won't accompany them! ”
Hearing Zhou Yu's registration, Ma San was also panicked, and immediately wanted to leave.
"This matter is not over, how to go?"
Cao Cao's face was straight, in fact, the truth could be judged from the words of the two, but under this public, he still had to tell a little evidence.
"This lord, there is no evidence, in this court, how can he frame and win people at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Although I am a commoner, I still know that my Han has its own law, and I am not guilty, how can this be the case? ”
This Ma San is a scoundrel in the market, and he was forced to be in a hurry, but he said so, but it made Cao Cao, the future immortal hero, helpless for a while.
In fact, Cao Cao also understands that if such a character is tortured slightly, he can let him reveal the truth, but if he is allowed to leave now, it will not be easy to find it again.
"You!"
Zhou Yu is indeed precocious, and he also quickly figured out the truth of this, and he was immediately angry and anxious.
"Ha Luha, I still have something urgent, go first!"
Although Ma San used words to cover it, after all, he knew the identity gap between the two sides, and immediately turned around and wanted to escape.
But at this moment, a figure blocked his way.
"Please wait, I have something to say."
Wei Tao stopped Ma San with an inexplicable smile.
