Helpless Cao Song

Although Empress Dowager Dong Dundun taught Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still obsessed with wine, and was even more obsessed with selling official beards. On his first day in office, Cao Cao wrote a memo and prepared to present it to the emperor in the early dynasty.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted the ministers to congratulate the court, as usual, he asked the ministers to have something to report early and retreat, Cao Cao took a step forward and was just about to start, and was pulled back by his father Cao Song, Cao Cao knew that his father was worried about what he was doing to cause trouble, but what Cao Cao played today was not related to the people of the dynasty, Cao Cao ignored Cao Song, and took another step forward, Cao Song pulled him back.

The ministers of their father and son saw these actions in their eyes, felt puzzled, and felt amused, as if their father and son were singing a double reed play.

Emperor Han Ling also wondered, frowned at the father and son, and saw that Cao Song was still deliberately stopping Cao Cao, he couldn't help it, so he said, "Cao Cao has something to play." Cao Song was inconvenient to stop again, Cao Cao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." Emperor Han Ling couldn't help but be happy in his heart: this wonderful Cao Cao will be in the limelight, this has just taken office and has a play, which is much stronger than those old and treacherous ministers, "Okay, it's playing." Cao Cao raised his wat and said, "Qi to the emperor, the general Dou Wu and the Taifu Chen Fan have been loyal to the country all their lives, Ren Xian and Ren, and the security of the society, but they don't want to be framed by the traitorous ministers Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others, and die unjustly, and the disaster is full of people, and the ministers ask the emperor to redress their grievances and restore their reputations, and hope that the emperor will be gracious. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, he was immediately shocked by the entire court, and all the important ministers, including Taiwei Yang Ci, Situ Cuilie, Sikong Yuan Feng, and Taifu Yuan Kui, all swept their eyes to Cao Cao, a young man in his twenties, who was in his temper, which was really unusual! Everyone knows that Dou Wu and Chen Fan were persecuted and unjustly killed in order to eliminate the treacherous palace officials Cao Jie and Wang Fu, although now Cao Jie and Wang Fu are also dead, but the new eunuch forces Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others have risen again, like a vicious tiger, the ministers are still afraid of them and dare not speak up for Dou Wu and Chen Fan, but they don't want to touch the tiger's ass today! What a guts!

Emperor Han Ling was also stunned by Cao Cao's strong wind, and was speechless for a while. It stands to reason that Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty can ascend to the throne thanks to the general Dou Wu, it was the Empress Dou of the Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and her father Dou Wu who embraced the throne of Emperor Han Ling, and then Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was blinded by the eunuchs and unjustly killed Dou Wu and other loyal ministers, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was ashamed to think about it, but after all, it was his own order, and now if he rehabilitates Dou Wu and Chen Fan, isn't it a slap in the face? Emperor Ling of Han couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked the ministers, "What do you think?" ”

The ministers were afraid of the power of the eunuchs, and where did anyone dare to speak, but they just watched each other and were speechless. At this time, He Jin, who was the Yin of Henan, was also above the court, and he couldn't help but admire Cao Cao when he saw that Cao Cao was not afraid of power and spoke outright.

He Jin since his sister was summoned to the palace by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to give birth to the prince Liu Wei not only honored the title of the uncle, but also the official position is also rising step by step, from the beginning of Langzhong, promoted to the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, Yingchuan Taishou, Shizhong, General Zuo Dajiang, until the current Henan Yin, Henan Yin is the highest administrator of Kyoto Henan County, including Kyoto Luoyang (equivalent to the current mayor of Beijing), and has the dual identity of the local administrator and the senior official of the capital, and controls the military and political power of Henan County, and the strength is extraordinary. He Jin is also very disgusted with the eunuchs' chaotic government and persecution of scholars, and since he was promoted to Henan Yin, he has thought about clearing the eunuch power, but after all, the eunuchs are favored by the emperor and are not easy to start, and today he saw Cao Cao in the court to rehabilitate Dou Wu and Chen Fan, He Jin had a sense of admiration for Cao Cao, and wanted to make friends with Cao Cao.

Emperor Han Ling saw that the ministers were silently seconding his proposal, and he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Let's discuss this matter again." Cao Cao's heart was cold.

Cao Cao and his father Cao Song returned to the mansion, and as soon as they entered the mansion, Cao Song scolded Cao Cao, "You loser and rebel!" You caused me so much trouble by killing my gravel uncle with a cane before, and spent millions of dollars on me to excuse you, and now you want to cause trouble again, do you still think that my money has nowhere to spend?! Unfilial son! Put on airs! ”

Cao Cao quit and retorted, "Now the court is so dark because of you people who take the court's money but don't do their loyalty to the court, is it wrong for me to keep saying and admonishing?" Cao Cao's rebuttal angered Lao Cao Song, what's the matter, this is the son who wants to make Lao Tzu's rebellion! This is a great rebellion, in the ancient feudal society there are "three outlines and five constants" said, the relationship between the monarch and the minister, father and son, husband and wife refers to the three outlines, the latter must absolutely obey the former, is there not an old saying, called "the king calls the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father calls the son to die, the son has to die", this sentence fully illustrates this.

Cao Cao's rebuttal made Cao Song angry, and he picked up a broom at the root of the wall and hit Cao Cao, how clever Cao Cao was, he ran out of the door with his legs, Cao Song couldn't fight, so he chased him out in a hurry, shouting, "Ah Hide, Ah Hide, for my father won't beat you, stop for me, stop!" ”

Cao Cao turned around and shouted, "Father, if you have the ability, you can chase it, if you don't chase it, you will admit defeat and throw away the broom." Cao Song was so angry, he gasped after chasing a few steps, used the broom as a cane, and beckoned to Cao Cao, "Good son, I admit defeat, don't run away, come back, come back -......"

"Threw the broom." Cao Cao returned, Cao Song raised the broom and wanted to fight again, just as He Jin and Yuan Shao came from the street on horseback under the escort of a team of iron cavalry, seeing this scene Yuan Shao hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward to stop Cao Song, and snatched the broom from Cao Song's hand and said, "Uncle, why is this?" He Jin also got off the horse and came over to persuade, "Da Si Nong, why is this?" Don't be angry, don't be angry. Cao Song saw that it was He Jin, bowed his hand, and said, "I don't know if Uncle He Guo arrived, rude, rude, let Uncle He Guo smile." He Jin saw that Cao Song's face was flushed, so he asked again, "Why does Da Si Nong want to beat Brother Cao Xian?" Cao Song sighed, "Alas, it's hard to say, Uncle He Guo asked the family to talk about it." ”

In fact, without Cao Song's invitation, He Jin also has to go to Cao Song's mansion. The purpose of He Jin's visit this time was to visit Cao Cao, and further speaking, to make friends with Cao Cao. Today, in the early dynasty, He Jin saw Cao Cao's righteous and straightforward advice for Dou Wu's rehabilitation, He Jin was deeply moved, and secretly appreciated Cao Cao's courage and talent, so after retiring from the dynasty, he called Yuan Shao, the official (that is, the current secretary), to visit Cao Cao.

He Jin since the promotion of Henan Yin in order to strengthen their own power will be widely known to people with lofty ideals, he particularly valued Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's family in the capital and even the whole country is the largest, his father Yuan Feng, the official worshiped Sikong, uncle Yuan Kui, did Situ, is now Taifu, uncle Yuan Cheng, also the official worshiped Zuo Zhonglang General, Yuan Shao's grandfather Yuan Tang worshiped Sikong, Taiwei, grandgrandfather Yuan Jing also worshipped Sikong, it can be said that the Yuan family in the Han Dynasty is prominent, four generations and three dukes, doormen all over the world.

Yuan Shao served as the commander of Puyang County at the age of 20, after his mother died of illness and went home to mourn, and his father died of illness, and served three years of mourning, Yuan Shao hated the corruption of the court, no longer accepted the call of the court, lived in seclusion in Luoyang, secretly befriended the party and chivalrous people, and one of the eight handsome Zhang Miao and famous men Xu You and Cao Cao and other people had a very good relationship. Later, he was invited by He Jin and became He Jin's official.

He Jin knew that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were good friends since childhood, so he brought Yuan Shao with him to visit Cao Cao this time, and the two rode horses just before they arrived at Cao Song's mansion and saw Cao Song chasing Cao Cao to fight, Yuan Shao and He Jin hurriedly went over to dissuade Cao Song. Cao Song invited He Jin and Yuan Shao into the house, He Jin sat down, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also sat on the side, and the next person served tea, Cao Song said, "What the old man did today made Uncle He Guo laugh, come, Uncle He Guo please use tea." ”

He Jin said, "I don't know what Da Si Nong wants to beat Brother Cao Xian for?" Cao Song said, "Ah Pu is immature, I don't know how thick the sky is, I want to avenge Dou Wu, Dou Wu's crime is condemned by the emperor, Ah Pu wants the emperor to rehabilitate Dou Wu, doesn't it want the emperor to slap himself?" Look at what the emperor said? We will discuss it later, and we will discuss it later, which means that it will not be discussed in the future, which not only offends the emperor, but also offends the eunuchs, which is not a trivial matter. ”

He Jin smiled when he heard this, "What should I do, I see, I think Dasi Nong is wrong, not only can you not blame Brother Cao Xian, but you should reward him." Cao Song was puzzled for a moment and looked at He Jin. He Jin said, "Today's palace officials are in charge, loyal and righteous people dare not speak out due to the disaster of the party, the political program of the court is unified, and there are really few people like Cao Xiandi who dare to speak out, I appreciate Cao Xiandi's style very much, amazing, and he will definitely be the pillar of the court in the future." ”

Cao Song said, "Uncle He Guo has an overreputation, I am already thankful that he is so arrogant and doesn't cause trouble for me, and I still expect him to become a pillar?" I'm afraid he's going to get me into even more trouble in the future. He Jin said with a smile, "Da Si Nong has been too worried, I think that Brother Cao Xian is courageous, knowledgeable, and extraordinary, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future." Cao Song arched his hand and said, "Uncle He plays a pivotal role in the court, and I hope that Uncle He will cultivate more in the future." "Definitely!" He Jin returned the salute, "Da Si Nong, I came today to invite my Cao Xian brother to have a drink on the street and have a good time, I don't know if Da Si Nong can allow it?" "Yes, absolutely." Cao Song immediately agreed, and Cao Song wished that Cao Cao would make friends with some dignitaries at this time, so that Cao Cao could have smooth official fortune in the future.

He Jin said goodbye to Cao Song, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao rode to the street of Luoyang, the three of them walked side by side, talking while walking, He Jin said to Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, I am inconvenient to say that I am guarding my uncle in your mansion just now, I asked Brother Meng De to come out today to let Brother Meng De know a few people, I believe that Brother Meng De has already heard of these people." Cao Cao is a good person to make friends, and when he heard He Jin say this, he hurriedly asked, "Oh, who is it?" He Jin said, "One is Zhang Miao, a talented man who is known as one of the eight chefs in the world, and Wang Fen, a bachelor who is famous in the world, and Xu You, a native of Nanyang, Henan, and Bao Xin, a native of Pingyang, Shandong, are all waiting for us at the Penglai Inn. ”

"Oh, it's them!" Cao Cao said in surprise, "Needless to say, Xu You, we grew up in Luoyang since we were children, Zhang Miao and we have known each other for a long time, and I have heard of Wang Fen for a long time, but I have never met, Zhang Miao and Wang Fen are both one of the eight chefs, they both have chivalrous hearts, and they are widely praised among the people." ”

"Yes," He Jin said, "Now that the palace officials are in the way, these celebrities in the world are still being suppressed, they can't stretch their ambitions, and they can't serve the country with their loyalty, it's really a sadness." Cao Cao also sighed, "How many loyal ministers and people have been killed by the scourge of the party initiated by the eunuchs, if the court does not lift the party system, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in the world will be cooled." ”

"Exactly, exactly." He Jindao. A few of them were talking while walking, and while they were talking, Cao Cao suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him and entered the crowd in a flash, Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaim, "That person is so familiar, it's him, why is he here?" ”
