Chapter 31, Cao's Lin'er
In fact, as to whether he could save Hua Tuo's life, Shi Xun didn't have a bottom in his heart. In recent years, with the great expansion of Cao Cao's power, his reputation has become more and more respectful, and his prestige and even strength have gradually become prominent. Especially the death of his mentor and friend Xun Yu can be said to have cut off the last link between Cao Cao and the mortal world - to put it bluntly, Cao Cao is about to become a god, where can he still listen to people's words!
Although Xun Yu and Cao Cao's political concepts are different, after all, they know it in the end, supplemented by raising troops, and the emotional bond is not comparable to others - this is also the main reason why Xun wants to save Xun Wenruo's life. But unfortunately, he failed in the end, and Xun Yu committed suicide by hitting the pillar. Compared with Xun Yulai, not to mention Xun You, Dong Zhao, Cheng Yu, even Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and even Xun who have the halo of relatives are not so important in Cao Cao's mind, and Cao Cao may not be able to listen back to what he says.
This is one thing, and on the other hand, although Shi Xun is good at taking advantage of his tongue, it is difficult to use the same trick on the same smart person repeatedly, and his debating skills have been played so much that Cao Cao has gradually developed immunity. It was Xun Ting who was glad that the relevant businessmen, the rejuvenation of the water army, the establishment of the imperial examination, the change of the system and other new ideas beyond the times, he began to talk to Cao Cao a long time ago, and subtly, Cao Cao could gradually accept it - if he waited until this moment to remember to talk to Cao Cao, it is estimated that nine out of nine will be called back on the spot.
In the original history, some fools couldn't see this clearly, and thought that Cao Cao had the same temperament as when they first met. It won't change in the slightest. So he continued to serve him in the old way. If you should be straightforward, you will be straightforward, and if you should be clever, you will be clever, but they all ended up - for example, Mao Jue and Yang Xiu. Shi Xun Ke had a complete understanding of Cao Cao's magnificent career in his previous life, from youth to old age, from his appearance to his death, and he had long known the weaknesses, shortcomings, and old age of Cao Cao's character. Or be mentally prepared. Therefore, although he is an in-law, he never dares to be pampered and arrogant, and always puts himself in the position of a courtier.
In his heart, he didn't feel that there was any superiority between people, but on the surface, he would never dare to treat Cao Cao as an ordinary relative, superior or old friend.
Therefore, in the original history, even Xun Yu couldn't persuade Cao Cao, and Xun Yu had already returned home in this timeline, could he persuade Cao Cao to pardon Hua Tuo's capital crime? He really didn't have a bottom in his heart.
True. Hua Tuo was like a national treasure in this era, and no one regarded him as a treasure. But when he is a villain who is arrogant, he can think against the tide, but he doesn't dare to move against the tide casually. No matter how important Hua Tuo is, if he touches Cao Cao's scales in order to save him, it will hurt his own interests, and he is not a man of ambition who seeks benevolence and is not afraid of death, he will not do it.
Therefore, persuasion should be persuasion, otherwise you will not be able to get over your conscience, and if the persuasion fails, you will never dare to fight, which will not only benefit the matter, but also harm the individual. It's just that Hua Tuo is old anyway, let's die, his medical cases, including the formula of "hemp boiling", are national treasures, and it is best to be preserved.
At that time, he planned to ask Hua Tuo for his medical case and publish it for publication, so as to save it for eternity - it also saved the old man from handing over the "Green Capsule Book" until he died. However, after asking several times, Hua Tuo deliberately delayed on the pretext that the medical case still needed to be sorted out. Shi Xun knew that most of the craftsmen in these years had hidden their skills, and they refused to show them lightly, so as not to rob their own jobs, but he didn't expect Hua Tuo to be contaminated with this bad habit.
After that, he was busy with official business, everything was handsome, Hua Tuo did not hand over the medical case, and it was not easy for Shixun to rob him, so he gradually forgot about it. Now that I think about it, I regret that if I can't make the "Green Capsule Book" pass on because of this, I will leave a lifelong regret.
Therefore, he asked Sima Yi to ask for a fast horse, left all the honor guards, and only took Lao Jing and other eight subordinates, and traveled thousands of miles out of Chang'an City, hurried for a few days, and arrived in Anyi. When he came to the city gate, Shixun could no longer sit on the saddle bridge, and his heels fell upside down, his legs were like being sawed off, and he couldn't struggle for a long time. Lao Jing came up to help, and said that we might as well rest in the courtyard outside the city for one night, and then enter the city tomorrow, Duke Wei will not blame him - he doesn't know why Xun is so hard, and Cao Cao wants you to return without a deadline?
Shi Xun looked up at the sky and waved his hand: "I will definitely enter the city today and face Wei Gong." ”
But he really couldn't walk, he thought about it, so he ordered Lao Jing to gallop back to the village, and asked Guan Si to prepare a carriage with a thick felt mat on it to pick him up. Immediately, Chae-hoon struggled to sit on the side of the road with his legs crossed, and ordered two subordinates to help him rub his blood. finally reluctantly moved, and stood up again to play a set of "five bird plays" to evacuate the muscles and bones.
When it was getting dark, the carriage finally came, and it was Xun who turned over and got into the car with the support of the subordinates, and then he raised his eyes and noticed: "Why did you come from?" "Although the little man who dares to drive the car is wearing men's clothes, he can see at a glance that he is pretending to be a man!
Guan Si pouted when he heard this: "The sky is about to be dusk, and the husband has returned thousands of miles, why don't you go into the village to rest, but urgently want to enter the city?" Wei Gong forced the monarch so much? "If Cao Cao uses you as a coolie, let's just stop it! Shi Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is an urgent matter, but you can't go home for a while-don't talk about it, let Lao Jing drive, and you will return." Guan Si glared and said, Could it be that Lao Jing's imperial horse skills can be stronger than mine? Lao Jing hurriedly waved his hand to the side: "I'm not as good as my wife." Shi Xun was helpless, so he had to sigh lightly and say then don't talk nonsense, hurry up and send me into the city.
He was almost lying in the car, and the city of Anyi was in danger, and the city gate was about to close. Then he galloped to the south gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and it was Xun who said that you should go back first, I went in to discuss something important with the Duke of Wei, and I didn't know what time it was after the discussion, so you don't have to wait. Guan Si shook his head again and again, saying that the city gates have been closed, where are you asking me to go back now? Is it right to go with your grandmother? Forget it, we'll wait for you here, when you come out, and when you can take me back.
Yes Xun pondered that he was not around, and let the two daughters-in-law face each other directly, maybe something would happen again. Although the two of them are getting older, including Guan Si, the hot temper of the girlhood has also been reined in, and they may not know each other with swords anymore, but they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid that in case, they will quarrel if they don't agree, it is also very possible.
The main problem is that he has only one son, born to Guan Si, Cao Miao has two consecutive daughters, and it is inevitable that she will be jealous of Guan Si's daughter, but Guan Si is a personality who likes to show off...... A real needle-to-wheat mang. Otherwise, a few years ago, they shared hardships and shared the same imperial Xu Tan, and the estrangement between the two daughters had been dissolved, if Cao Miao could also get a son, maybe they would have shook hands and said happily.
Of course, there is no way to regret this, Cao Miao is not to blame for not being able to give birth to a son, and it seems that he can't blame himself, it is purely God's blindness......
Okay, let her wait if you want to wait. So Shi Xun straightened his clothes, jumped out of the carriage, and hurried to the front of the mansion to call the door. The time was not long, and there were attendants who came out to greet him, saying that Wei Cheng was studying in the study, and the subordinates would lead Lingjun to go - not long after the establishment of Wei Zhaojian, the system of rules and regulations of the outer dynasty had been completed, but the inner court was still lacking in combing (of course Xun was too lazy to care about this kind of thing), so if it was Xun, Xun You, Cao Ren and other important ministers, no matter when they came to pay advice, they could still go straight into the palace as before, and there was no need to pass in advance.
Shi Xun couldn't help but think in his heart, it is estimated that it will not be a few years, once Cao Cao usurps the throne and becomes the emperor, we want to enter again with high spirits, unless we lead the troops to force the palace......
Entering the mansion, not far away, a small child suddenly jumped out of the corner, and hit Shixun with a full arms. Shixun was defenseless, staggered back several steps, and almost sat on a squat. Look at the child in front of him again, it was planted directly with a head, and then a maid's panicked scream sounded: "Bold, dare to collide with the son!" ”
It was Xun Xin who said where I collided with him, and it was clearly him who collided with me, okay? When he came, he was in a hurry, and he didn't wear court clothes, just ordinary scholars, and even for the convenience of riding horses, he was wearing short clothes, and it is estimated that the maid did not know him. He didn't bother to explain, he went over to pick up the child, and asked at the same time: "How many sons is Qing Gong Wei?" "Jumping around in the Duke of Wei's mansion, it must be Cao Cao's son, Cao Cao has taken more and more concubines recently, and his son has been born continuously, and he really doesn't know all about Xun.
But when his hand was stretched out, he was knocked away again, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the maid who was shouting. Seeing that the maid looked at Shi Xun angrily, glared fiercely, then turned around, bent down and helped the child up, her voice suddenly softened, and asked him, "Has the son fallen?" It is necessary to make the Duke of Wei severely punish this disciple and relieve the hatred of the son! ”
Yes Xun is really angry and funny, and his heart said where did he come from, not to mention that Cao Cao is still only the Duke of Wei now, even if he is really the king and the emperor, with my identity, there is no reason to hit his son and be severely punished - unless Cao Cao is crazy. He didn't bother to take care of the maid, but he looked at the child carefully, and saw that the other party was only seven or eight years old, and he was also raising his head, flashing a pair of big eyes, looking up and down for himself.
It's Xun Xin who said it, it doesn't matter how many sons you are Cao Cao, unless it's Cao Chong, who is young and smart, I'm really not interested in getting to know him. However, Cao Chong has seen it, he is already fourteen years old, because of Hua Tuo's presence, so he was seriously ill last year, and he was able to recover safely, and he passed the biggest hurdle in his life, and he did not die as in the original history. Cao Cao's other youngest sons, all of them (at least I can't see any Bingfu in these years), he is in a hurry to see Cao Cao at this time, so he has no time to pay attention to it.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the kid ask: "I heard that the Chinese book is to order the king to come to the Duke of Wei, do you have to do anything for Your Excellency?" ”
Shi Xun couldn't help but turn his face back and nodded: "I am Xun, Qing is ......"
When the child heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed: "The boy has no form, he rushes to the adult, and asks the adult to forgive the sin." The boy's name is Cao Chao. ”
Ah, yes Xun was taken aback, it turned out that this was Cao Chao! (To be continued......)
