Sikong Province

Cao Pi has been living alone in Songlin Garden since last year, which is a courtyard in the Sikong Mansion, which is not big or small, it is true that he wants to open the mansion alone, however, before Cao Ang's brother goes out to open the mansion alone, he does not want to break out of Cao Cao's control.

The fragrance rose in the small copper furnace, Sima Yi and Cao Pi sat opposite each other, and a table was placed between the two, according to Sima Yi, this was the habit he learned with his master Hu Zhao when he was in Lu Hun Mountain, "It seems that Brother Shi learned not only knowledge from your teacher, but also these novel things." ”

Sima Yi smiled, picked up the steaming pulp pot, first filled Cao Pi's pot with honey syrup, and said eloquently: "I have such a character in my life, I always have to learn some good things when I encounter them, so that my son will laugh."

Cao Pi said angrily: "Brother Shi, what are you talking about, why do you come to see and laugh." The two chatted for a while, and then fell silent together.

"Brother Shi has met with my brother?" The two were silent for a long time, Cao Pi took the lead in breaking the silence and asked, hearing Cao Pi's question, the latter was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, that day in Fengyu Building, I saw the heroic appearance of the eldest son, which is no different from what is rumored in the market." ”

Cao Pi nodded silently and did not speak.

"Why didn't Childe speak?"

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi deeply and said, "Brother Shi has such a high opinion of my brother?"

When Sima Yi heard this, he asked Cao Pi rhetorically: "But I don't know what kind of image the eldest son is in your heart?" ”

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, remembering that at that time, his brother was completely comparable to his father's existence in his heart, and he cared about himself, read and write, teach and solve doubts, and when he was in trouble, he had not yet resisted the guilt......

I remember that I was very envious of the rangers' happiness and hatred, and I learned to drink spicy wine at the age of a young adult, looking out the window when the cold wind was raging, and the fire in the house was warm, so it was not pleasant, and my brother heard the words at that time, and remembered that the brother was not yet eighteen years old, but he was like a good son in the turbid world, so that several rangers who drank with him were "relaxed and happy", and the brother did not say hello to the rangers because of the vulgar background of several rangers, but smiled and greeted those rangers.

The ordinary cup in Cao Ang's hand is like a shining glass, looking at Cao Ang's demeanor, at that time, he admired his brother very much, and he couldn't wait to recognize Mrs. Ding as his biological mother, which shows how much he loved his brother back then.

After the banquet, Cao Ang went out first, put the big knot on his body, and draped it on himself, the thin clothes seemed to be not afraid of the cold wind, he would never forget the warm and generous hand, how he gently stroked his head, how he snuggled him, and the two brothers went home......

Thinking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, when did he start going against his brother?

It seems that after hearing that my brother died in Wancheng, my mood changed, and the pain of my eldest brother's death was diluted by something called ambition.

When he was dreaming of being an heir, the eldest brother came back unharmed, from empty joy to "don't come unharmed", Cao Pi did not feel happy because of his brother's safe return, his heart began to become more and more dark, he suppressed the impulse in his heart to ask Cao Ang face-to-face, "Why don't you die" countless times, his face is still a brother, friend and brother Gong, but it is not false, he understands very clearly.

At first, he felt that Cao Ang's death would dilute his great status in his heart, but when he was asked by Sima Yi, he suddenly realized that Cao Ang's status in his heart had never changed, but he had been suppressed by ambition, and now after thinking about it, he gradually felt guilty.

His hands were clenched tightly until his joints turned white, and his face looked painfully and tangled.

Sima Yi is an ordinary character, how could he not guess a rough idea, the question he asked was to let Cao Pi face the problem head-on, so that he had a feeling of opening the bow and not looking back, and he firmly went to the black, even if he hit the south wall, he could not turn back.

"It seems that the eldest son is still dazzling in your heart, and it is insurmountable." Sima Yi said slowly.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi coldly when he heard this, his eyes were like a hungry wolf, watching his prey, Sima Yi looked at him fearlessly. "Childe thinks that the foreshadowing made in the early stage is all fake? Will the eldest son not understand your every move? ”

He didn't answer, he still looked at Sima Yi coldly, but the panic in his eyes that flashed away did not leave Sima Yi's gaze, he continued: "Let's just say that assassin, even if he has magical powers, I will never believe it, without the operation of someone with a heart, he can enter Cao Ang's sight with the murder weapon safe and sound......"

"Don't say it." Cao Pi spoke, "I don't deny my brother's status in my heart, but I also know the truth that it is difficult to recover. ”

"And what do you mean?" Sima Yi pretended not to know and asked, "There is no turning back when you open the bow!" Cao Pi said word by word. I saw that his breathing gradually began to be short, and he gasped for breath.

"If the heart is clear, the sky is not shocked, all changes are still fixed, the spirit is calm, the selflessness is one, and the six roots are determined." A voice came suddenly, which made the faces of the two people present change greatly, and they turned their heads to look, only to see that at some point, Cao Ang appeared at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at the two of them with a smile.

"Zihuan, a manly man, you must have the courage of Mount Tai to collapse in front of you and not change your face, don't panic when you encounter trouble, and be calm and relaxed."

Cao Pi was already frightened at this moment, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, so Sima Yi got up and asked calmly: "But I don't know when the eldest son came, and he didn't say anything in advance, Zhong Dahao went out to greet him." ”

Cao Ang walked to Cao Pi's side with a smile and patted Cao Pi's shoulder gently, but Cao Pi felt that Cao Ang's hand was like Mount Tai pressing him out of breath, he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't exert his strength, he suddenly remembered what Cao Ang said to him

The mind must be as clear and transparent as ice, even if there is a big external interference, do not be disturbed, and be unalarmed.

I need to reach the state of being immovable regardless of the wind and rain, concentrating on my mind, unifying my heart, and reaching the realm of selflessness.

That is, there is nothing else to think about in the heart, even the existence of oneself must be forgotten, the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body, and mind are condensed, that is, ignoring the movements of the outside world, condensing the qi in the dantian, there is no selfishness in the heart, and the vomit and acceptance should echo each other, concentrate all the minds, and strive to have nothing inside and outside the heart, and the state of mind is as clear and transparent as ice, without any distracting thoughts.

According to what Cao Ang said, he finally calmed down, and when he saw Cao Pi's face as usual again, Cao Ang looked at Sima Yi and said: "As soon as I arrived, I saw Dao Zihuan angry at my brother, my younger brother's mind is still not very calm, and I have been persuaded by Brother Lao."

When Sima Yi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's nature, that's nature, I and Zihuan Gongzi are evaluating the sages of the past dynasties, and there is naturally a controversy about different views."

Cao Pi reluctantly pursed his lips and smiled, nodding, obviously agreeing with Sima Yi's "rhetoric".

When Cao Ang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said "oh", "Which sage are you talking about?" Sima Yi was still groaning, but Cao Pi muttered: "It's the story of Zheng Zhuang's sleep." When Sima Yi heard this, his face changed drastically, and he looked at Cao Pi in disbelief, as if asking, "How can you say this?" What is the difference between this and directly telling Cao Ang what you and I want? ”

This story is very simple, it is about the story of a generation of male lords, Zheng Zhuanggong in the Spring and Autumn Period.

It is said that the two brothers of Zheng Zhuanggong, the mother Wu Jiang was different from the ordinary when she gave birth to Zhuang Gong, Zheng Zhuanggong was born by Wu Jiang in his sleep, and after waking up, he knew that he was born first with a foot, and finally gave birth to a head, which frightened Jiang, so Jiang did not like him, and absurdly said that he was "rebellious", born backwards, and was born unfilial. Therefore, Zheng Wugong named it "Kou Sheng".

Contrary to treating Zheng Zhuanggong, Wu Jiang favored his younger brother Uncle Duan in every way.

According to the ancient system, Kou Sheng is the eldest and naturally inherited the throne and became the monarch of Zheng State.

Mother Wu Jiang was even more dissatisfied, and did everything possible to cultivate Shu Duan's power in order to replace Zhuang Gong when he became stronger.

So she asked for a fief for Shu Duan to make a fief, but Zhuang Gong disagreed, and Wu Jiang asked Zhuang Gong to seal Shu Duan to Jingxiang City, and Zhuang Gong agreed.

After Shu Duan arrived in Beijing, he called Uncle Duan, recruited troops, built city walls, and prepared to rebel. After the secretary found out, he told Zhuang Gong, and Zhuang Gong said: "As long as my mother Wu Jiang is willing, what does it matter." Sai Zhong said: "When Wu Jiang is not satisfied, it is better to place them in a suitable place as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with." Zhuang Gong said: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." Just wait and see! ”

In the twenty-second year of Zheng Zhuanggong, his younger brother Shu Duan thought that the time was ripe, so he discussed the date of rebellion with his mother, and Wu Jiang replied to Shu Duan after making a decision, asking him to immediately raise troops and act as his own internal response.

At this time, Zheng Zhuanggong had already discovered their conspiracy and intercepted the secret letter. After getting the evidence, Zheng Zhuang Gong immediately sent Gongsun Lu to lead 200 military vehicles to surround Jingxiang City, Shu Duan was caught off guard and fled to Yanling, and was chased and killed by Zhuang Gong and was forced to flee to Gongcheng and commit suicide.

Since then, Zhuang Gong has been even more dissatisfied with Wu Jiang, threatening that "we will not see each other again until Huangquan".

It was a story of a brother who turned against each other, Cao Ang couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Cao Pi, and thought in his heart, "Are you implying anything to me when you tell me this?" ”

"What's so controversial about this? Could it be that the two of them are discussing that Uncle Duan's sin will not lead to death? Sima Yi snorted and said: "It's just a shallow remark, it can't be true, it can't be true." ”

Cao Ang also ignored Sima Yi's excuse, Shi Shiran sat down, and said, "I also have a story to share with the two of you." ”

"Brother, but it's okay to speak, my brother listens." Cao Pi said, and Sima Yi also sat upright and listened to Cao Ang's story.

Cao Ang looked out the window and said slowly: "This is a story of the Spring and Autumn Period, and that country is called the Tang Kingdom."

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and said in his heart: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many countries, but there was such a country."

"The story takes place with the eldest son and the second son of the king." When Cao Pi heard this, a chill arose in his heart.

“…… In order to be able to call the lonely widow, the brothers completely broke up and turned into enemies, the first life is the life of ten thousand years, the second brother wants to become the master of this country, who can refuse to be ordered by the story of Tianji Shou Yongchang? ”

"After ...... And then? Cao Pi couldn't help but shudder and asked tremblingly.

"Many years later, the second brother sat alone on the dragon chair that he had dreamed of, looking at the sons who imitated what he did back then and fought for the throne, he would think of his former self and his eldest brother, maybe this is just a reincarnation."

Cao Ang smiled nervously, looked at the two of them, and said, "The reed leaves are full of Tingzhou, and the cold sand is shallow. Twenty years of heavy over the South Building. The willow ship is still unstable, and it can be a few days, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

He got up and walked out, "The yellow crane has broken its head, is the old man here now? The old country is the new sorrow. ”

Walking to the door, he looked back at Sima Yi, who pretended to be calm, and Cao Pi, who had a stiff face. Slowly spoke: "If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it will not be the same in the end, young travel!"

After saying that, he smiled, and then walked out of the Pine Forest Garden, leaving the two of them to look at each other.

"He knows everything!" Cao Pi closed his eyes in pain and laughed miserably.
