It was Fu who said to Xiahou Wei that he didn't like "Cao's son", and then explained, "Brother, don't think too much, of course I'm not talking about the kings and princes, but the people of Cao Tai and Cao Fu......

Cao Tai is the son of Cao Ren, the protector of the country, and Cao Fu is the son of Cao Hong, the auxiliary country, both of them have strange temperaments and are quite unworthy of their fathers. First of all, Cao Ren is most praised not for his bravery, but for being law-abiding and paying the most attention to rules, that is, the so-called "luxury is not systematic, thrift does not damage etiquette", but the sons led by Cao Tai are arrogant and indulgent, and almost have a tendency to move closer to Cao Hong. Needless to say, what kind of person Cao Hong is, but his sons Cao Fu and Cao Zhen are actually good at literature, but they are not good at martial arts.

Therefore, there are people in the market who talk about it, saying that the sons of the protector and the auxiliary country should fall into one child - are they really not taught by Yi Zi?

It is Fu who has always been close to the two Xiahous, and except for his uncle Cao Zhen, the contact with the Cao family is relatively sparse, and he said that it is because I don't look down on those boys of the Cao family. Then he pretended to frown and think, and said, "The master and son-in-law are also gentle." "Xiahou Xuan's son Xiahou Nan is not very good.

The circle turned around twice, and finally got to the point: "After Xungui, only the brother Kunzhong can succeed Hongye, and then ......" first sue for a crime - "Brother Ran Boquan may not be able to respect his father's achievements." The so-called "Boquan" refers to Xiahou Heng, the eldest brother of Xiahou Wei.

Xiahou Wei drank too much, and he was not hypocritical at the moment, nodding again and again, saying that my eldest brother is indeed not very good, and if he can't write or martial arts, I'm afraid he won't be able to support a huge family. As he spoke, he snapped his fingers: "The second brother (Xiahou Ba) is capable of martial arts, but it is a pity that he has no ......wisdom" is to say that your IQ is not much better-"The third brother (Xiahou said) and the fourth brother (Xiahou Rong) are all talented, but unfortunately they died early...... The one who can inherit the business of his father, who is not me? ”

I knew that you would be so boastful, so I toasted again, and the words were rolling. poured Xiahou Wei a stomach of ecstasy soup. Finally, he said: "The whale rides the great waves, but it can swim; Luan has the help of the wind and soars for nine days. Although my brother is talented, if he is not effective, it may be difficult to succeed - my father and son are willing to help my brother. ”

You see, that's an artistic statement. If you directly say that you can't help me at home, it will be difficult to succeed. may stimulate Xiahouwei's self-esteem and arouse disgust; So he wants to say: If you don't have help, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed, then let me be your help. The meaning is the same, the words are different, and the feelings given to the other person are very different.

Xiahou Wei grabbed Shi Fu's shoulder: "The master and his wife, Yu Wei's grace is also deep, how dare you forget each other?" This Xiahou is one and the clan is one, if the day is different. It will not be negative! "Yes, let's let us young people work together and make some business for the old men to see. Then he looked left and right at no one, approached Xiahou Wei, lowered his voice and said: "What I said to my brother the day before yesterday is familiar with my brother's thoughts, and it may be difficult for the king ......of Ren Cheng to bear a heavy burden."

It was for Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, that ecstasy soup was also poured. The temptation is almost tempted, and he plans to gradually distance himself. He began to suppress Cao Zhang's influence among his friends - King Ren Cheng is really a man. It's good for us, if you can be the prince, as I said, the country will be safe; It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is skinny, according to my observation and judgment. His future is not very bright......

Of course, the friends may not believe that it is Fu's "observation and judgment", but they will instinctively make up their minds, thinking that this is relaying their father Shixun's "observation and judgment".

Cao Zhang, since the marriage of Xiahou and the Shi clan, he showed up at the wedding. The number of invitations to hunting and feasting became more frequent for Fu and Xiahou Wei, and Shi Fu had not yet found a suitable excuse, so he had to continue to participate and perfunctory. But every time he came back, he would inevitably tell his father Shixun about the whole process, and even some of Cao Zhang's private words with him - of course, there was still a little bit of concealment.

He also took the opportunity to ask Shixun, saying that the friends are all talking about it, the position of the prince must not be kept, and the king of Liyang also has signs of falling out of favor, maybe the future son of heaven will choose the best among the three sons of Queen Bian - Dad, who are you more optimistic about? Can I give my son a thorough idea?

It's Xun Xin who said goodbye and said that I don't have prejudices yet, even if I really make up my mind, I can't just reveal it to you, who knows what your stupid son will do because of this. At the moment, the face of the board: "This is not something you can know, you are loyal to the father and the king, but also." ”

I couldn't find out anything when I saw it again, so I had to change the topic: "Today, the king of Rencheng invited me to ask about my son's marriage, and my son said that his parents advocated ......" The implication is to ask, have you considered my marriage? My sister is married, and I'm eighteen years old......

Shi Xun raised his eyebrows: "You have seen something?" "Who are you looking for, and suddenly take the initiative to mention this kind of thing to your father? It is said that I usually live in the village outside the city, and I also go out on the shore of the Sanluo River in March, and occasionally I can see other women's relatives, how can there be any girls in the picture. In fact, what does the son mean - "If you are like Xiahou Zilin, you will be strong enough to be a clan." ”

Xiahou Zilin is Xiahou Nan, and he is still the princess of Qinghe, so it is very clear that there has been a concubine of the Son of Heaven for a long time - at that time it was still the side room of King Wei - to communicate with our family, and I plan to choose a princess to marry me, but Dad, you have been talking about him left and right. I don't know what you think, but my son's wishes, it's not bad to be a "son-in-law", you can make me a family.

You see how beautiful Xiahou Nan is now, and his official position has also risen all the way, almost above his eldest brother Xiahou Chong - on the son of Lin's virtue, wandering, greedy for money and good goods, and strong and inward-looking, he can be the main son-in-law, why can't I be it?

When Shixun heard this, he didn't take it to heart at first, but his son was envious of Xiahou Nan's infinite scenery now - that guy followed his father Xiahou Tang to Zhenguanzhong, and temporarily separated from the princess's wife, so he took concubines even more unscrupulously, and rolled in the gentle countryside all day long, not to mention how nourishing his life was. If you want to say that Xiahou Zilin, it's not really that he has no strengths, this person does have his talent in terms of goods breeding, and he just bought fields and mountains and forests in the original history, and now it is Xun who has opened up more ways to get rich, so Xiahou Nan has also become a business tycoon.

The construction of various workshops, the exploitation of mountain and forest resources, and even the merchant groups in the Northern Desert and the Western Regions, Xiahou Nan was all involved, so Xiahou's industry soon surpassed Cao Hong, who could only buy land for reclamation and set up cards to collect taxes—and according to national law, the temporary checkpoints in various parts of the Central Plains have also been withdrawn one after another. Therefore, Xiahoudun loves his second son very much, and often opens and closes his eyes to his greedy side of pleasure, as long as it does not exceed the limit.

He just took care of Xiahou Nan, saying that if he wanted to become a family for hundreds of generations and a thousand-year-old family, it was not enough to have money, but also to have a cultural heritage, and hoped that he would put more energy into the cultural industry - such as papermaking and book printing. Xiahou Nan obeyed his father's orders, and when he was still in Luoyang, he vigorously invested in the printing workshop, and even took the initiative to develop and improve the technology. And in a sense, the reputation of Xiahou's book printing is even louder, because Xiahou Nan genius comprehended the brand consciousness, and engraved all the fine products produced by his own bookstore with the mark of "Ruyin" - Xiahou Ying, the ancestor of the Xiahou family, was once named the Marquis of Ruyin - and the "Ru Edition" became popular all over the world.

Shixun can't help but sigh because of this, everyone has their own strengths, and it can't be called a waste - in the original history, Xiahou Nan was a waste, because he didn't understand politics and military affairs at all, and he guarded Chang'an, and ran into Zhuge Liang, a genius of the sky, head-on...... However, the history books all say that this person is good at "governing life", if he is not allowed to guard the side, but let him engage in financial work, maybe he can be a famous minister for a lifetime.

Now that Xiahou Nanlai is mentioned again, it is Xun who is ready to teach his son casually: "The eldest husband should take credit for himself, how can he rely on the power of his relatives?" "Xiahou Nan's status is not low now, and his achievements are not low, but the premise is not only that he is the son of Xiahou Chong - then there is the boss Xiahou Chong who is pressed on top - but that he is still a princess, so he can breed and do business, and he can have a green light all the way without anyone hindering him. And no matter how powerful he is and how remarkable his achievements are, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the ridicule of the world - if it weren't for a good wife, you would be where you are today?!

So he reminded that it was Fu, saying that the kid, the important thing is to cultivate his own ability, not to rely on his in-law relationship to get to the top.

It was Fu Cai who had just come back from Cao Zhang's banquet, poured a stomach of clear mash, his face was still a little red, his head was still a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but say: "What Daddy said is true." However, if it weren't for the relatives of the in-laws, would Daddy have to be where he is today? ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "My son is vain." But please leave. ”

It was Xun Zheng who was frowning and pondering Shi Fu's cross-examination, so he waved his hand and allowed him to retreat. However, it was Fu Cai who walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around to report: "The king of Rencheng still has a word, and the secret and the child are ......."

Cao Zhang was poured into the ecstasy soup of the Fu, and now he often talks secretly with that kid and pours out what he thinks, but Fu is not only not moved, but feels - my current reputation is a muddy person, you actually confide in the muddy people, and you still want to achieve great things? !

So what did Cao Zhang say to Shi Fu this time? Of course, the content is nothing more than a matter of changing heirs. Cao Zhang said: "The lonely brothers are all carp, treading the waves and jumping, and I don't know who can jump the dragon gate." Lone should do his best, but the destiny of heaven may not be lonely, and he is willing to succeed in building a son, which is stronger than the second brother. "Of course I hope that I can become the prince, but the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, if it is difficult to cooperate after all, it is better that the new prince is Cao Zhi, not Cao Pi - my second brother is too yin, I don't like him very much.

After recovering this sentence, he withdrew, leaving Shixun alone in the study, pondering for a long time, frightened and shocked. (To be continued......)
