In the golden autumn of October, Zuo Xiaoyou returned to Xuchang with the army, and if he is reunified today, the reappointment of many officials and various domestic developments are all things that Cao Cao needs to focus on. And the most important point, is there still a need for Emperor Han Xian to exist?

At that time, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang in the early days of his business, in order to serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, of course, with the change of a pro-Liu faction named Luo Guanzhong, this sentence became a coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

In fact, the sentence of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes was put forward by one of Yuan Shao's strategists, but unfortunately, Yuan Shao was killed by Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao could only lie down on the gun, and Luo Guanzhong put this sentence on his head.

So Lao Cao's life is not easy! All kinds of backstabs, pots, lying guns, and being wronged as chaotic ministers and thieves, but in fact, Cao Cao did not abolish the emperor until his death, on the contrary, those hypocrites who shouted loudly and said that they wanted to restore the Han dynasty did the matter of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor. So "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is actually quite harmful, in order to beautify Liu Bei, but it does not scandalize Cao Cao.

But now the situation is different, now Cao Cao eliminated all the princes and reunified the world when he was alive, so as Cao Cao, who conquered the whole world, did he want to hold the world in his own hands? Or did it give it to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for nothing?

This choice is actually not difficult, but Cao Cao has a psychological hurdle to pass.

In fact, at the beginning of Cao Cao's fight against the world, he has always regarded himself as a Han Chen, and his long-standing ideal is just to write the name of "General Han Zhengxi" on the epitaph after his death, which can also be proved from a historical point of view.

In history, there were ministers who advised Cao Cao to replace the Han family and ascend the throne as emperor. The ministers are all people who follow Cao Cao to fight the world, in order not to make these people cold, and in order not to violate his original intention, Cao Cao said such a sentence: If the destiny of heaven is in me, I am the king of Zhou Wen.

It means that if God is really on my side and wants me Cao Wei to replace the Han family, then I will be King Wen of Zhou.

Anyone who knows history knows that even if they don't know history, but those who have read "Fengshen Bang" should also know that because King Zhou had no way, King Wen of Zhou raised troops to rebel against Shang, but when he rebelled, King Wen of Zhou fell ill and died, and then King Wu of Zhou succeeded to the throne, which overthrew the rule of Shang and established the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, although King Wen of Zhou was anti-Shang, he did not overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty until his death. Cao Cao also wanted to be such a person: as long as I am alive, you cannot overthrow the Han family.

It can be seen that Cao Cao's loyalty to the Han family is very high, at least more than 90.

But now Cao Cao is facing a situation that is different from him in history, and it is also different from King Wen of Zhou.

Cao Cao in history, because of the condemnation of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and the internal political situation was not very stable, so Cao Cao did not dominate the world until his death, and of course there was no problem when King Wen of Zhou.

But now that the world has been unified, and there is no rebellion to ask for, then Cao Cao has not boarded the plane, and when?

Even if Cao Cao himself didn't want to, his courtiers wouldn't agree.

Since Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, the ministers have been persuaded almost every day, especially those civil and military ministers who followed Cao Cao at the earliest, and they can't wait to put the dragon robe on Cao Cao directly, and directly shout long live.

If Cao Cao becomes the emperor, these courtiers will be able to go further, and they can even get a duke to be the emperor, but if Cao Cao does not ascend the throne and become the emperor, then these courtiers will be a marquis at most.

Dukes and marquises, not only have different treatments, but also have different historical positions. It is the so-called learning of literature and martial arts, and selling it to the emperor's family. The ministers followed Cao Cao to fight the world, maybe at first it was just to give themselves a platform to display their skills, but in the process of following Cao Cao to fight the world, they accidentally knocked down the whole world, and the minds of the civil and military officials were not just to display their skills and ambitions.

They want glory and wealth, and they also want historical status.

In any dynasty, the civil and military officials under the founding emperor are the easiest to be remembered by history, and only in the middle of the dynasty, when there are no problems, the names of the civil and military officials are not known.

Now Cao Cao has stood on the edge of the founding king, only half a step away from going to the next level, the civil and military veterans hope that Cao Cao will take this half step, and then they can get a very high historical status.

"Prime Minister, even if you don't think about the living, you have to think about the dead." A general said such a sentence to Cao Cao excitedly, shaking Cao Cao's inner defense line: "Guo Fengxiao, Xi Zhicai, and Dian Wei!" They all need the prime minister to correct their name! ”

This sentence touched Cao Cao too much, so big that Cao Cao was difficult to resist.

"Lonely has to think about it for a few days."

After giving a delayed reply to the ministers, Cao Cao remembered his son-in-law again in distress, so he called the escort carriage and went straight to the Xiaoyao Marquis's mansion.

……

It has been more than a month since Zuo Xiaoyou came back, and during this time, his little life has not been good or bad.

First of all, after Cao Xian and Ma Yunlu met, because Ma Yunlu was a concubine, according to the rules of this era, Ma Yunlu needed to salute when he saw Cao Xian, but Ma Yunlu didn't do this, just simply called 'sister', and it was over.

Different from the unruly Ma Yunlu, Cao Xian was born in the Cao family since he was a child, because Cao Cao has a virtuous helper, so he attaches great importance to the cultivation of children's etiquette, seeing that Ma Yunlu is so uneducated, Cao Xian's face is not very good-looking, and he is interested in educating Ma Yunlu, but after Ma Yunlu occupied a courtyard, he put more than a dozen of his swordsmen in front of the door, practiced martial arts in the courtyard all day long, and simulated the battle array, shouting and killing were endless, and Cao Xian, who was scared, did not dare to go over.

"Husband, what does Ma Yunlu want to do!?" Cao Xian went to Zuo Xiaoyou and said very angrily: "How can this kind of person enter my writer's threshold?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou knew that Cao Xian was angry, so he could only comfort her. This is a political marriage, your husband and I have three chapters of the law with Ma Yunlu, as long as she doesn't go too far, she will maintain the identity of a concubine on the surface, and do whatever she wants. So Ma Yunlu will mess around! Quan dang has an extra mouth to eat at home.

As soon as Zuo Xiaoyou said this, Cao Xian was no longer angry.

Because Ma Yunlu even has a fake concubine, Zuo Xiaoyou doesn't have the same room with her at all, and if she doesn't have a room, she is not a rival in love, and if she is not a rival in love, then there is no hatred. On the contrary, as Ma Yunlu's arrogant personality was gradually exposed in front of Cao Xian's eyes, Cao Xian fell in love with this girl with a straight intestine.

Cao Xian is a literary girl, and a literary girl actually has some inexplicable affection for a heroic girl. Maybe it's because the character of the heroic girl and the literary girl complement each other, which can bring a certain degree of security to the literary girl. So as time went by, the relationship between Cao Xian and Ma Yunlu gradually improved, and every day when the family of three sat down to eat together, they could talk and laugh.

When Cao Cao came, he happened to be pinching the meal, and when the three of them were just sitting at the dinner table to eat, Cao Cao came in.

"Hehe, Xian'er, Xian'er, and Yunlu, what are you eating?" Cao Cao happily walked to the vacant side of the Eight Immortals Table and sat down, and said to the maid beside him, "Quickly add two bowls and chopsticks." ”

"......" waited for the maid to get the chopsticks, Cao Xian asked, "Why is my father free today?" Have all the government affairs been taken care of? ”

"It's too annoying, for my father to come out and hide quietly." Cao Cao poured himself a cup of tea and said: "It's still the envy of the virtuous son-in-law's life, and he doesn't have to go to court every day, let alone deal with the mountains of government affairs, no wonder the virtuous son-in-law has a skill but does not enter the officialdom, it seems that the virtuous son-in-law is really the smartest person in the world." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "It seems that my father-in-law is really in a big problem this time, if I speak up and listen to it, maybe my son-in-law can solve problems for my father-in-law." ”

"The old man is waiting for your words." Cao Cao laughed, at this time the maid had already brought a pair of dishes and chopsticks, Cao Cao said: "Eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

In the past, Cao Cao said things, never shy away from anything, he said it when he ate, but this time he had to say it after eating, it seems that Cao Cao really encountered something very important, and it was a very cautious thing.

Because Zuo Xiaoyou has never been out since he came back, and has been living his peaceful life at home, he doesn't know about the persuasion of the ministers, and he doesn't know Cao Cao's intention, but seeing Cao Cao's attitude just now, and thinking about the current situation, he probably guessed Cao Cao's intention. Don't talk much, when they are full of wine and food, Zuo Xiaoyou and Cao Cao came to the study, made a pot of tea, put some peanuts and melon seeds, drove away the people, and chatted with Cao Cao.

"Father-in-law, please use it." Zuo Xiaoyou sent a cup of tea over and asked, "What is your father-in-law's troubles, you can talk about it now." ”

Cao Cao put the teacup in front of him and smiled: "What does the virtuous son-in-law think the old man can worry about?" ”

"Could it be that Xiao Qiao is unwilling to be lonely and wants to win the position of wife from the concubine?" Left small right road.

Cao Cao couldn't cry or laugh: "Nonsense." ”

After winning the Battle of Chibi that year, Xiao Qiao, who automatically walked into Cao's camp, became Cao Cao's trophy, and although Zhou Yu chose to surrender, Cao Cao did not return Xiao Qiao to him, but considering Zhou Yu's ability, Cao Cao still decided to reuse Zhou Yu.

But Zhou Yu saw that Cao Cao refused to return Xiao Qiao, so he was so angry that he burped within a few months, and at that time, Xiao Qiao was already six or seven months pregnant, and he was about to give birth in two or three months. Zhou Yu, a short-lived ghost, never saw his son until he died.

However, Cao Cao is worthy of being a person who has been famous for thousands of years~ Wife Cao, even if Xiao Qiao is pregnant with Zhou Yu's son, after the child is born, he still treats it as if it were a few times, loves him very much, and loves Xiao Qiao even more, even if it has been several years, he is still very good to Xiao Qiao.

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Bian, the mother of Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others, was still alive and well, and was virtuous and virtuous, without any character flaws, Cao Cao would have wanted to make Xiao Qiao the main room. (To be continued.) )
