Chapter 3 Cao Chong's Death, Comfort Cao Cao [Ask for Subscription]
The sky is dark, and Cao Bin estimates that it will be around the ugly time at most.
Outside, in the dead of night, only the occasional sound of insects chirping.
After getting Xu Chu's news, Cao Bin did not hesitate.
After arranging the affairs in the barracks, he immediately followed Xu Chu to the city.
"General Xu Lang, is my eldest father okay?"
The two of them hurried away, the atmosphere was a little dull, and Cao Bin broke the silence with a voice.
He has no feelings for Cao Chong, and the two have never met.
In Cao Bin's impression, Cao Chong is just a historical figure, and his fame comes from the primary school textbook "Cao Chong Calls the Elephant."
Cao Chong, the word Cangshu, a figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a person from the Yuzhou Thorn History Department, and the son of Cao Cao and Mrs. Huan.
Smart and benevolent since childhood, different, deeply loved by Cao Cao, leaving "Cao Chong Praises the Elephant", "Gu Ying Self-pity", "The Friendship of the Prodigy" Three major allusions.
Cao Cao boasted about him to his ministers several times, faintly with the intention of letting him succeed him.
But he died of illness before he was a minor, at the age of thirteen.
Not to mention Cao Chong, the rest of Cao Cao's descendants, Cao Bin has only seen Ah Pi.
He has never seen Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, who became a poem in seven steps, and the rest of the lonely and nameless people.
never thought that when I heard Cao Chong's name again, it would be after his death.
"The lord's mood is very low, and he is extremely sad about the death of the prince of Cangshu."
Xu Chu turned around and said, "The last general was afraid that the lord would be in a bad mood because of this, so he went out of the city to invite the son." ”
Cao Cao is the backbone of the entire Cao Wei force, and Cao Bin is fledgling, if Lao Cao has something to lose, then the fun will be great.
"Xu Lang will have a heart."
Cao Bin naturally knew this truth and was very grateful to Xu Chu for being so clever.
Who said that Xu Zhongkang is a reckless man, which reckless man is as clever as him?
If Cao Cao has a good one, then this seemingly stable Cao Wei Jiangshan will collapse in an instant.
Those careerists, disciples of the family, and powerful generals, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
Although Lao Cao has long had the idea of making Cao Bin his heir, as long as the world is not officially announced for a day, Cao Bin will not be justified for a day.
Even if something happens to Lao Cao, it is very likely that Cao Pi will take the throne, and it will not be his turn to inherit the position of prime minister.
When the time comes, it's really hard to say what will happen to Cao Bin.
Therefore, for him, Lao Cao's physical condition is very critical.
For Xu Chu, who came to report the news, he was also very grateful.
"Childe is serious, this is just a matter of the last general."
Xu Chu smiled innocently and stopped talking.
The two were speechless and quickly rushed back to the city.
Coming to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Bin slowed down.
On the ground, the crow knelt down on a large number of people, startling him.
The atmosphere was very dreary, so gloomy that it almost rained.
"Squeak..."
Cao Bin stepped to the door, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and walked in.
was greeted by a pair of sad and murderous eyes.
But after seeing Cao Bin's face, his eyes turned to astonishment and puzzlement.
"Father!"
Cao Bin stepped forward and said softly, "Please mourn!" ”
At this time, he clearly saw that Cao Cao's eyes were red and swollen, and he thought that he should have cried.
"Bin'er, why are you here?"
Cao Cao let down his guard and wondered.
When he heard the sound of the door being slammed, his first thought was to kill someone.
He didn't want his weak side to be seen by outsiders, so he would let the rest of the people retreat.
But when he found out that the person who came was Cao Bin, a trace of doubt quickly came to his heart.
How did Cao Bin come here?
Why?
"Father, Xu Lang is afraid that you will be too sad about the death of your uncle, so he will go to the barracks to inform his grandson, so that his grandson can come to comfort his father."
Lao Cao asked lightly, but Cao Bin knew that this juncture was the most sensitive and weak time for Lao Cao.
A figure who stands at the top of the world is like a strong lion showing his weakness, and is extremely sensitive to any wind and grass.
In addition, Lao Cao is suspicious by nature, if Cao Bin does not answer well, it will immediately arouse Lao Cao's suspicions, so that his ancestors and grandchildren will have a gap.
On the way here, he took this into account and decided to tell the truth.
"Zhong Kang... He has a heart. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he thought about it in his heart and let go of the doubts in his heart.
Xu Chu should have seen that he loved Bin'er the most, and he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he would make this move.
"Father, you have to take care of your health."
Finding that Lao Cao was only wearing a single coat, Cao Bin immediately took off his coat and draped it over him.
At this time, the weather is extremely cold, and if you don't pay attention to the wind chill, it will be troublesome.
"Do you know, the eldest father's favorite is Chong'er, I wanted him to take over the position of the eldest father in the future, but I never thought that he would actually..."
At this moment, Cao Cao is no longer the prime minister of the world, but an ordinary old man who lost his son in his old age.
He took Cao Bin's hand and confided in him: "My white-haired person sends a black-haired person, do you know how sad I am in my heart? ”
Cao Bin didn't say a word, he could only keep nodding his head and agreeing with his words.
"Actually, the eldest father had already predicted the death of Hedge's son!"
After talking about it, Cao Cao took a deep breath and continued: "As early as the beginning of the month, there was a great Han who turned into a dragon into my dream, saying that I coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes rebellious ministers and thieves, and they would be eaten by luck! Therefore, your father died in Wancheng, and Chong's son died young, all of them were suffered on behalf of his father! ”
"What?"
These words fell into Cao Bin's ears, which was tantamount to thunder on the flat ground and waves on the sea.
Luck Dragon?
Surrogate father's education?
Is this the Three Kingdoms of History or the Three Kingdoms of Mythology? The Three Kingdoms of Gaowu?
Why is there a saying that the dragon is lucky?
It's a ridiculous joke in the world, a big mistake in the world!
Although Cao Bin is not a staunch atheist materialist, he is also not superstitious.
Although I have traveled to this era, I don't think that there are really ghosts and gods in the world.
In his view, the prosperity of a dynasty depends on the sage of the monarch and the ability of the ministers.
It is definitely not pinned on the so-called luck, auspiciousness and other ethereal things.
But...
Since coming into contact with Lao Cao, there are various indications that he does have a little bit of an unpredictable prophet.
It's like this time, Cao Chong's death!
"It's a real hammer, Lao Cao is really a reborn!"
Cao Bin thought excitedly.
The so-called theory of luck is just Lao Cao's rhetoric.
Next, perhaps with Cao Bin's relief, Lao Cao gradually regained his former composure.
Lao Cao began to deal with Cao Chong's funeral in an orderly manner, posthumously presented the cavalry captain, hired the deceased daughter of the Wuji Zhen family to be buried with him, and ordered Cao Cong, the son of Cao Yi, of the same clan, to succeed to his name.
Cao Bin watched silently, without saying a word, and did not go to the barracks, and accompanied him throughout the process.
It's just that when Lao Cao was about to kill Hua Tuo to accompany the funeral, he could no longer remain silent.
"Father, please stay in China for too long."
