Chapter 22: The Death of the Hero (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Today's Prime Minister's Office is very lively, and almost all the children of the Cao family in Xuchang City are here, dragging their families with them, hundreds of people.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has not been so lively for a long time, and Cao Cao looked at his children and grandchildren with a smile on his face.
"Father, the mahjong is all on the table, let's play eight rounds first." Cao Chong put Cao Pi and Cao Zhi together and beckoned Cao Cao to play mahjong together.
Since Cao Chong got the identity of the prince, Cao Pi has given up everything, and Cao Zhi has also given up his career in frustration, transferred to the literary market, and concentrated on studying poetry and songs, and now he is already the top talent in the world. And Cao Chong didn't care about Cao Pi's poisoning back then, but still respected Cao Pi, and it didn't happen.
Because of this, the relationship between the three brothers is much more harmonious than before, which makes Cao Cao very pleased.
"Haha, the old man also has some itchy hands, come on!"
The father and son were rubbing mahjong over there, but Zuo Xiaoyou walked into the kitchen in person to prepare today's meal.
Cao Cao and Cao Chong, and even other people in the Cao family, as long as they have the opportunity, they will go to Zuo Xiaoyou's house to eat, Zuo Xiaoyou's cooking skills can be imagined, at this time, it is rare that the Cao family has made it up, and Zuo Xiaoyou has shouldered the task of cooking.
It is not easy to prepare food for hundreds of people, it is equivalent to someone in a rural family getting married, a lot of relatives and friends, just preparing in advance will take a whole day, today is too hasty, a whole day must be too late, Zuo Xiaoyou had to use the simplest way. Ten sheep were slaughtered, and with the assistance of the prime minister's office, the whole sheep were roasted.
The Prime Minister's Office is big enough to get ten ovens to bake at the same time, and there is no problem at all.
But it's just that the roasted whole sheep is too hot, and a lot of cold vegetables are also prepared, and of course, mung bean soup is indispensable to clear the heat and remove the fire. Now it is summer, when the roasted whole sheep is roasted, it is already night, the prime minister's palace is brightly lit, and the Cao clan people are eating roasted whole sheep and drinking mung bean soup with ice, which is called a cool.
"Father-in-law, son-in-law toasts you." Zuo Xiaoyou held a bowl of mung bean soup and replaced the wine with soup: "The road ahead is long, even if there is no opponent, we must go down towards the set goal." Father-in-law, don't forget your ideals, before the Iron Bird appears, your father-in-law can't fall. ”
Cao Cao looked at him and smiled. Although Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, if it comes to wisdom, Cao Cao is also the top, of course he knows what is going on today, the descendants of the Cao family can't think of this way, and only Zuo Xiaoyou, the son-in-law who thinks out of the box, can do this kind of thing. Seriously, Cao Cao was very moved.
"Son-in-law, do it."
……
After the children of the Cao clan got together this time, Cao Cao regained his full mental state, which also made Cao Chong breathe a sigh of relief. Although the better Cao Cao's health, the later the abdication will be, but Cao Chong is happy to do so. There is an old man in the family who is like a treasure, and there is a big tree above his head to support it, after all, it is a good thing, if it is really his turn to do it, although he controls the power, but the pressure is also very great.
This point has been deeply realized by Cao Chong since he became the owner, and it is really ...... Tired.
Father, Chong'er wishes you a long life.
……
Thirty years have passed unconsciously, and in these 30 years, the population of Xinhan has exceeded 300 million, the domestic transportation extends in all directions, and the people are rich.
The average life expectancy has exceeded 50 years old, and the neonatal mortality rate has dropped to less than 1 in 1,000.
In terms of industry, NEXCOM has reached the level of the mid-90s of New China, and has made great progress and breakthroughs in science and technology.
And this year, the first helicopter in China was successfully developed, and Prime Minister Cao Cao, who had reached the age of 100, boarded the helicopter and flew in the air for two hours.
Cao Cao was sent to the hospital for medical treatment, and after examination, Cao Cao's body was not too problematic, but he was too emotional and fainted. But Cao Cao is over 100 years old after all, and his body has run out of oil, so I'm afraid he won't live long.
As the doctor said, Cao Cao has reached the limit, and he has only lasted for a month, and he will not be able to do it.
On this day, Zuo Xiaoyou rushed to the hospital and saw Cao Cao for the last time.
At this time, Cao Cao was much older than a month ago, his eyes were blurred, and his speech was a little slurred, but after seeing Zuo Xiaoyou, Cao Cao sat up stiffly, grabbed Zuo Xiaoyou's hand, and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to do it this time." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou didn't comfort him, but only said one sentence: "Father-in-law, you have been sitting on the iron bird and flying for an hour, how do you feel?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "I don't want to say a joke back then, but today it has come true, and the old man is also dead without regrets." ”
"That's good." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said: "My father-in-law is over 100 years old, and I have experienced all kinds of life, which can be described as a complete merit, and the world will only envy it, and my father-in-law can also pass away with a smile." ”
"Hehe, only you dare to talk to the old man like this." Cao Cao scolded with a little smile, and laughed very happily.
"Is there anything else your father-in-law would like to say to your son-in-law?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked softly.
Cao Cao put away his smile and said softly: "Virtuous son-in-law, assist Chong'er well, the old man hopes that the new Han can last forever." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the son-in-law will definitely do his best to assist Brother Chong." ”
"And ......" Cao Cao suddenly asked: "Virtuous son-in-law, do you say that after a person dies, he will really become a soul?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Cao Cao and shook his head: "No." ”
"That's good." Cao Cao sighed: "I have done things all my life, and I have no regrets." If there were still a spirit after death, how would I answer if my son asked me where his mother was? ”
Left small right: "......"
I didn't expect history to change so much, Cao Cao still said these words before he died, it seems that Mrs. Ding is really important in Cao Cao's heart.
Cao Cao is an unusual person, his last words did not say anything about national affairs, basically some family shortcomings. In the eyes of ordinary people, Cao Cao's last words do not match his identity, but Zuo Xiaoyou feels that such Cao Cao is true enough.
People die like lights out, of course, they can say whatever they want. After I die, the flood will be terrible.
Cao Cao left calmly like this, and was not buried in Chang'an after his death, but transported the body back to his hometown Peiguo County for burial, which can be regarded as a return to the roots!
Although Cao Cao offended many people during his lifetime, because the world has long been unified, and now the Xinhan Dynasty has spent 30 years to conquer the whole of Asia, and even part of Europe, if it were not for the sake of stopping and digesting, I am afraid that Europe would have been defeated long ago. Therefore, Cao Cao was not worried that his grave would be stolen by traitors, so he did not make any doubts.
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Chong succeeded him as prime minister. As early as a few decades ago, Cao Cao began to pave the way for Cao Chong, so Cao Chong's succession did not have any twists and turns, after all, Cao Chong is almost sixty years old, and no one will have an opinion on succeeding to the throne at this age.
Yes, Cao Chong has been practicing Ivy Gong since he was a teenager, so now Cao Chong's appearance looks only in his thirties, which is very young. This is actually Cao Chong's deliberate act in order to govern, if he is allowed to mess around, his appearance can be maintained even if he is a teenager.
And Zuo Xiaoyou's appearance has not changed in the past few decades, and the same is true for Cao Xian, who is still a twenty-year-old beautiful woman, and Ma Yunlu is the same.
Time flies quickly, and they are all in their sixties, although their appearance has not changed, their internal mechanisms are still aging, and their voices are old. Fortunately, it's okay to be sixty years old, and it's only a retirement age when you put down modern times, and you can still be alive and kicking around in the square.
Cao Xian, driven by Ma Yunlu, has also exercised regularly over the years, so the two girls' physiques have maintained well, and their figures are the same as back then.
And Zuo Sansi started a family as early as after the weak crown, moved out of the Xiaoyao Mansion, and now works in the scientific research institute.
Zuo Sansi is a very smart child, but this child has no interest in politics, but is very interested in invention and creation, so Zuo Xiaoyou trained Zuo Sansi in this regard, and when Zuo Sansi was in his twenties, he had mastered science and technology beyond this era, and then naturally became the president of the scientific research institute, responsible for military research.
is different from Zuo Xiaoyou, Li Sansi is a very capable person, now thirty-two years old, but he already has three sons and one daughter. It can be regarded as a branch for the Zuo family. Cao Xian and Ma Yunlu both like the three boys very much, and Zuo Xiaoyou prefers their granddaughters.
In this patriarchal era, it is very difficult for a girl to get the love of her elders, and Zuo Sansi doesn't like this daughter very much, but this little girl is very lucky and gets Zuo Xiaoyou's love. Since she was very young, she was taken by Zuo Xiaoyou, and now the girl is nine years old.
Zuo Xiaoyou even said when the little girl was eight years old that her granddaughter would become the top talent of Xinhan in the future.
Just because of the sentence Zuo Xiaoyou, those who have sons in law and are of the same age have come to the door to propose. However, these people were stumped by the test of the left and the right.
In fact, it's nothing, it's just that Zuo Xiaoright has an upper link, and he said: Whoever can make a commensurate lower link can marry his granddaughter after his granddaughter has words.
But it's too difficult to get a left-small uplink on the right, and a year has passed, and no one can give a symmetrical downlink. But there are always talents who are not enough in their status, but they boast of being talented, and they want to climb to the sky in one step to go to the door of the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion to see the Shanglian, which has also become a scene of the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, but still no one can come out.
In fact, Zuo Xiaoyou himself can't give a perfect downlink, because no one can give a perfect downlink even if this uplink is in later generations, which can be described as absolute through the ages.
The upper couplet of this couplet is: Smoke lock pond willow. (To be continued.) )
