Chapter 379: Cao Fu's Letter
Although Cao Pi is a second ancestor and a playboy, he is also a talented person, although he is not as good as his son Cao Cao, but he will finally follow the rules, and it is no problem to keep it. He continued Cao Cao's policies and took over the family he left behind, so that Wei's economic and military strength remained the most powerful of the three kingdoms.
However, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, no matter how clear the dynasty, there are also corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials so much that his head was rolling, and he also had to peel the skin and fill the grass in the official office to warn against latecomers, such a strict anti-corruption measure still could not prevent the emergence of corrupt officials, let alone in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.
After Cao Cao's rectification, although the Wei State is generally clear, there are still many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are even more local tyrants and inferior gentry. The exploitation of the people by these people is outrageous, and of course the affected people can only live a miserable life.
The captive transformation department of Shu Han chose those places that were severely oppressed by corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry as teaching demonstration areas, and showed these negative teaching materials to the captives, so that they could actually feel the miserable life of the people under the dark rule of Wei.
Similarly, the Shuhan "demonstration area" visited by the captives was carefully chosen. Even now, there are very few areas with so many advanced settings in Shuhan, and most of these places are still in Shuzhong.
As for the places outside Shuzhong, they belong to the newly occupied places, where is it easy to build, and some places are even worse than some places in Wei.
However, the captives did not know anything about these situations, they could only see what the transformation department wanted to show them, they could only hear what the transformation department wanted to hear to them, and they could only contact the people who had been arranged by the transformation department. These arrangements ensure that they only receive the information they need to receive, that is, the information that brainwashes them.
After a year of brainwashing and education, Cao Fu is now a staunch communist ~ proletarian fighter, oh, no, he should be a Han nationalist fighter, and his allegiance has successfully become the Han and the Han Emperor, that is, Liu Hou.
Therefore, it is logical that when the relevant departments asked him to write a letter to his son Cao Hong to persuade Cao Hong to return to the Han Dynasty, he did not hesitate at all, and wrote a passionate letter to his family, describing in detail many of his experiences in Shu Han, of course, some words that were beneficial to Shu Han.
Of course, the focus of this letter is to persuade him to surrender, he used some of the political theories he learned to analyze the general trend of the world, thinking that the fall of the Wei State was imminent, and the Han Dynasty was expected to prosper, and persuaded Cao Hong not to give Cao Wei anti-~ activist a funeral.
Of course, his letter inevitably advocated the legitimacy of Shu Han, criticized Cao Wei's usurpation, and finally, he used himself and Sima Yi as examples to explain that these generals were still reused in Shu Han to remove Cao Hong's concerns.
Cao Hong could see at a glance that this letter was written by his eldest son, and he held this sincere letter in his hand, his hands trembled slightly, and his heart was as uncalm as turning over the river and the sea. He originally thought that his eldest son, who had died, miraculously survived and became a great official of Shu.
And the son who used to only fight and kill, like a different person, spoke one by one, and his analysis of the general trend of the world was incisive and unique, and the appearance of pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan was like Mr. Wolong, who was right.
It is said that the son is safe and sound, and he has a chance, and the father should be happy, but the son, as a descendant of the Cao family, surrendered to the enemy country, which can't help but make him very worried. Although it is common for good ministers to choose their masters in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the situation of both himself and Cao Fu is different from those people.
They are the core members of the Cao family, and betraying the Wei State is not only treason, but also means betraying the family, which is a very serious crime in the era of paying attention to clan etiquette. Seeing his son's letter, he had joy and sorrow, for Cao Fu's persuasion, he was moved, but he couldn't make up his mind, he knew that if he surrendered to Shu Han and let the commander of the Shu Han army ~ drive ~ straight ~ into the pass, Cao Wei would perish in an instant.
And he, Cao Hong, Taizu's younger brother, will soon become Cao Wei's eternal sinner from Cao Wei's hero, how should he explain to him after he goes down to the underworld to see Cao Cao in the future?
Just as he hesitated, the messenger took out another scroll, and when Cao Hong looked at the yellow cloth scroll, his heart was shocked again. This scroll is made of jade, the yellow cloth is made of fine silk silk brocade fabric, the back has the pattern of auspicious clouds and cranes, which looks magnificent, and the two ends have a flying silver dragon as a security mark.
Cao Hong is not an uninformed person, he recognized at a glance that something with this kind of appearance can usually only be a holy decree, as Cao Wei's imperial uncle, he usually receives a holy decree. However, what shocked him was not that he saw the holy decree, but that at this time, the holy decree taken out by this messenger obviously could not be the holy decree sent to him by his merry nephew, but only the edict issued by the Emperor Shu Han.
The messenger did not let Cao Hong put incense on the table, wear court clothes, or even fast, bathe and kneel to welcome the holy decree, nor did he pinch the voice of the male duck to read the holy decree like the eunuch on TV, but directly handed the holy decree to Cao Hong and motioned him to read it for himself.
Cao Hong took the holy decree and looked at it seriously, and the holy decree praised Cao Fu for his general knowledge, knowing right from wrong, and fighting bravely, which was a rare talent, so he was named the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty. Then he praised Cao Hong's outstanding military achievements in the early days, and he made money in his later years, and was a figure with both civil and military skills.
Then he named Cao Hong as the general of Zhenyuan and the marquis of Lecheng. The holy decree also specifically mentioned that the property owned by Cao Hong now will be recognized and guaranteed by the Han Dynasty, and after the Han Dynasty recovers the world in the future, Cao Hong's property will not be confiscated by the government, and will still belong to Cao Hong.
The more Cao Hong looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he watched, the more surprised he became. He sighed in his heart, the little emperor of the Han Dynasty was really generous this time, and he actually promised such generous conditions.
Cao Hong's original titles in Wei were Hussar General and Lecheng Hou, but Cao Pi later deprived him of these titles under the pretext of Cao Pi. In the end, under the reprimand of Empress Dowager Bian, Cao Pi pardoned him and returned the property, but these titles and titles were not restored to him, which made him depressed.
But now that the Emperor of Shu Han has returned the title and title to him, although General Zhenyuan is not as majestic as the hussar general, it is not bad, which makes him excited.
In fact, what excited him the most was that at the back, behind the holy decree, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty promised to ensure the safety of his property. The most important thing in his life is his own property, and most of his property is real estate such as fields and houses.
Real estate is property that can't run, and with the advent of the change of dynasty, these properties that can't be moved will definitely not be able to run and be taken away. If he does not return to Shu, as a member of the Cao Wei clan, it is foreseeable that his huge amount of real estate will definitely be nationalized, and his behavior of accumulating wealth in this life is equivalent to an empty bamboo basket.
