Chapter 23 The grandfather and grandson meet for the first time [ask to follow]
Prime Minister's Office.
Cao Cao was dealing with government affairs, and suddenly a guard came to report, saying that there was a major matter to report to the prime minister.
"Prime Minister Qiyu, Cao Bin appeared in Xudu."
After receiving permission, one of the guards walked briskly and reported.
"Bang..."
When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly stood up and knocked down several cases in front of him.
He was unaware of it, and asked, "Say it again, who do you see?" ”
He couldn't believe his ears and thought he was hallucinating.
"Prime Minister Qiqi, when the little one was ordered to investigate Cao Bin, he saw him with his own eyes, and he would never admit his mistake. Early this morning, when the little one saw this person appear in Xudu, he came to report to the prime minister. ”
This guard was the one who was sent by Cao Cao to investigate Cao Bin in Qian County.
Today it was his turn to rest, and he happened to meet Cao Bin's convoy entering the city on the street.
He thought to himself that since the prime minister sent him to investigate this person at that time, it must have a deep meaning.
So, he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and reported the matter to Cao Cao.
"Where is he now?"
After listening to the guard's report, Cao Cao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
At this moment, his excitement gradually calmed down.
"The south of Xudu...."
The guards gave an address.
"Well, you're doing a good job, go down and get your reward."
Cao Cao wrote down the name and waved his hand.
"Whoa!"
The guard answered and left happily.
"Dare to ask the lord, who is this Cao Bin, who has made the lord happy?"
At this time, everyone in the hall reacted, and Xun Yu asked out loud.
"Yes, is it the lord's nephew?"
"I've never seen the lord lose his temper like this..."
"Isn't he a world-shattering talent?"
The rest of the people also talked about it.
Back then, Xu You came to defect, and Cao Cao, who was in dire need of talents, stepped out to greet him.
But at this time and that time, with Cao Cao's current position of power, who could make him lose his temper so much?
"Haha, do you remember, I once said that Zi Yu left a posthumous son?"
Cao Cao was thinking about his thoughts, he didn't know why he didn't pick it up, and the eldest grandson actually ran to Xudu by himself.
At this time, he couldn't wait to meet this eldest grandson, and there were too many questions that needed to be answered.
Hearing the questions of the ministers, he came back to his senses and said to everyone proudly.
"Oh, is the posthumous son left by the eldest prince named Cao Bin?"
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "Is the lord ready to announce the identity of this son?" ”
Cao Cao is already fifty-three years old, and it is time to consider the issue of establishing an heir.
If it was before, Cao Pi was the best candidate for inheritance.
But at this time, there was a widow of the deceased eldest son, and according to the rules of the eldest son, he also had the right to inherit.
In this way, it is a big question who to appoint as the heir.
If it's not handled well, it's going to be a big mess.
Therefore, as a supporter of the Lichang order, Jia Xu took the opportunity to test Cao Cao's attitude.
"I'll talk about this later, I'm going to see him, would you like to go with me?"
Cao Cao is such a shrewd person, how can he not hear the meaning of Jia Xu's words.
He pondered for a moment, did not answer directly, and turned to the crowd to ask.
"Enlighten the lord, and wish to go."
didn't get an answer, Jia Xu was not disappointed, and stood up and said.
"Lord, Yu will accompany you."
Xun Yu also stood up.
The rest of the people knew that they were in a low position and were not qualified to participate in the establishment of an heir, so they did not speak out.
"Okay, Wen Ruo and Wen He will accompany me."
Cao Cao glanced at everyone in the hall and immediately made a decision.
The three of them left the main hall, changed into civilian clothes, left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and walked towards Cao Bin's house.
According to the address given by the guard, they quickly found a small courtyard with three entrances.
"Zhongkang, you go knock on the door."
Standing outside the door, Cao Cao nodded to Xu Chu, who was following him.
"Whoa!"
Xu Chu answered, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.
"Bang bang bang..."
There was a knock on the door, and there was a quick response.
There was a "squeak", and a crack opened in the door.
Zhao Hu walked out of the door, looked at everyone, and asked, "Who are you waiting for, why are you knocking on the door?" ”
Seeing Zhao Hu come out, everyone only felt a fierce aura rushing towards them.
"What a burly man, this person is the four orphan guards trained by Bin'er?"
Thinking of what was recorded in the investigation report, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said secretly in his heart.
He smiled and asked, "Xiao Langjun, is the master here named Cao Bin?" ”
"Yes, it's my father-in-law, who are you?"
Zhao Hu nodded, and replied angrily.
"Then you go back and report it quickly, and say that an old friend is visiting."
Cao Cao nodded slightly and said to him.
That's right, my grandson did come to Xudu.
Looking at his eager expression, Jia Xu and Xun Yu both looked sideways.
It seems that this eldest grandson is extraordinary in the heart of the lord. ’
At this moment, the two of them invariably had the same thought in their minds.
"If you don't say your name, how can I report it?"
Zhao Hu's eyes widened and blocked the door.
"Hey, so horizontal? Get out of the way! ”
Seeing this, Xu Chu reached out to push him.
When Cao Cao heard this, he stopped Xu Chu, who wanted to make a move, "Zhongkang, stop!" ”
With a move in his heart, he asked again: "Does your lord bring his family to Xudu?" ”
"My old lady did come to Xudu, how do you know?"
Zhao Hu glared at Xu Chu and asked rhetorically.
"Then you go and report to the old lady, just say that the old man is here, please see her."
Cao Cao instantly understood and said indifferently.
He hadn't seen the Ding family for more than ten years, so it was difficult to show his identity, but in order to see his eldest grandson, he had to talk to the Ding family.
"Huh? You old man, dare to peep at the old lady? How daring! See if I don't give you some color! ”
Zhao Hu's eyes widened, he picked up his fist the size of a sandbag, and struck it.
Cao Cao: "..."
"Presumptuous, don't hurt my lord!"
Xu Chu hurriedly blocked the front and raised his fists to greet him.
"Bang!"
The two fists struck, and even the air exploded.
Zhao Hu only felt a huge amount of power coming from his arm, and he took seven steps back.
Xu Chu stood in place, not moving.
Judgment from above.
"Okay, I came here to make trouble!"
Zhao Hu's face changed, he rubbed his sour arm, and shouted into the door: "Brothers, come out quickly, someone is making trouble!" ”
"Second brother, who is making trouble?"
Hearing the movement, another person walked out of the courtyard, it was Zhang Long.
He grabbed Zhao Hu and looked at Cao Cao and the others with scrutinizing eyes.
"Big brother, it's them!"
Pointing to Cao Cao and his party, Zhao Hu told Zhang Long what had happened.
"Zhang Long Zhao Hu, who's outside?"
Soon, another voice came from inside the courtyard.
Immediately after, Cao Bin walked out.
"Huh? Short stature, big fat man, small eyes, hooked nose... This is my cheap grandfather Cao Cao, right? ”
Cao Bin walked out, and when he saw Cao Cao, his pupils shrank, and he quickly recognized his identity.
