Chapter 11: The Tea Party of Talents
"What, you're saying that Zijian's martial arts are not under you!" Cao Cao exclaimed.
"Yes, my subordinates saw this with their own eyes!" Xu Chu said in a deep voice.
While speaking, Xu Chu told Cao Cao what he saw when he went to find Cao Zhi today.
When he heard Xu Chu say that Cao Zhi shot Cao Zhang's weapon away with his bare hands, Cao Cao obviously didn't believe it.
But after thinking about it, with Xu Chu's IQ, he couldn't make up this kind of lie that could be broken at the first poke, and Cao Cao finally chose to believe it.
"Could it be that Zijian is really so brave? Not only is his writing brilliant, but his martial arts are no less than Lu Bu back then! ”
"However, if Zijian is really so powerful, then how can Zihuan compete for Zijian!" Cao Cao said worriedly.
That's right, Cao Cao's true thoughts.
In addition to wanting Cao Zhi and Cao Pi to fight each other, through the way of raising Gu, the final heir is selected.
He also wanted the Yingchuan family and the Hebei family to side with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi respectively.
Through the battle between the two, the strength of the Yingchuan family and the Hebei family was weakened.
After all, from ancient times to the present, the essence of the art of emperors is the way of balance.
Only when the inferior is constantly fighting and consumed, can the superior benefit from it.
……
The other side.
Just when Cao Cao was worried about Cao Pi.
Cao Pi's mood at this time is indeed not very good.
Just now, he got news from his subordinates.
said that Cao Cao asked Cui Yan to come over late at night.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Chu, who was Cao Cao's personal guard, personally brought Cao Zhi to Cao Cao's residence.
On a big night, call Cao Zhi and Cui Yan together, what does this mean?
You must know that the Qinghe Cui clan is an important family in Jizhou.
This time, Cui Yan's initiative to surrender made Cao Cao very satisfied.
If Cao Pi expected it was not bad.
Cao Cao deliberately praised the Cui family as a family like the Xun family.
However, if you praise the Cui family, you will praise the Cui family, why did you let Cao Zhi get involved at this time.
"Could it be that my father intended to let Zijian come into contact with the Hebei family!"
"However, I am my father's eldest son, shouldn't I be responsible for such a big thing? Could it be that the father wants to abolish the growth and let the son be the heir! ”
"Yes, it must be! My father likes Zijian on weekdays, but today Zijian humiliated me in public, and I didn't see my father punish him, my father was obviously partial! ”
"No, the position of heir must be mine!"
"Come and prepare horses, I'm going to see Xun Lingjun!"
……
After a cup of tea time.
Outside Xun Yu's mansion.
In Cao Pi's anxious waiting, the porter hurried over, and then said with an apologetic face:
"Second son, I'm very sorry, my master is now resting!"
"What, this ......"
Hearing that Xun Yu refused to see him, although Cao Pi was anxious, he was helpless.
After all, as the representative of the Yingchuan family, the second person of the Cao Group.
Even Cao Cao has a lot of respect for Xun Yu.
Therefore, after hearing that Xun Yu didn't see him, Cao Pi could only say with a stupid face:
"In that case, then I'll visit Xun Lingjun again tomorrow!"
After saying this, Cao Pi turned around and left.
"That'...... That second son, my family Lingjun asked me to bring you a word! ”
At the moment when Cao Pi turned around, the porter reached out and grabbed Cao Pi again, and then said in a low voice:
"My family Lingjun asked me to tell the second son, he said that you are the eldest son, so you should do what you should do as an identity!"
"Taught!"
Cao Pi was stunned at first, and then bowed deeply to the door.
……
Sikong Mansion, that is, the original Great General's Mansion.
After learning from his subordinates what Cao Pi had done tonight.
At this time, Cao Cao didn't feel the corners of his mouth rise.
"It seems that Zihuan is not as unbearable as I thought, and I know to find Xun Yu!"
"However, it is precisely because he is the boss of the Yingchuan family that Xun Yu will not end up in person, it stands to reason that he should go to Xun Yu!"
"However, with his age, it is already very good to be able to think of finding Xun Yu in the first place!"
thought that through his two sons, he indirectly pulled the Yingchuan family and the Jizhou family into the water.
Cao Cao's mood was extremely happy.
When people are happy, they like to do something happy.
Some people are drinking, some people are singing.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, likes to do some happy things with other people's wives.
"Come on, go and ...... Zhen," Cao Cao ordered.
But halfway through his words, Cao Cao's whole person suddenly stopped.
Because he suddenly remembered Cao Zhi's sarcastic words an hour ago.
When I think of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, they are both interesting to Zhen Mi.
Cao Cao finally gave up this idea.
……
Following.
A piece of news spread all over the streets and alleys of Yecheng.
Cao Sikong's fourth son, the world-famous Cao Zhi Cao Zijian.
Three days later, he prepared a "talent tea party" in Yecheng.
In Yecheng, all the children of the family with names and surnames received invitations from Cao Zhi.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Yecheng was boiling.
The Caizi Tea Party has always been regarded as a symbol of the Taiping period.
After all, only those talented people who have enough to eat and have nothing to do will become famous in this way.
Over the years, because of the perennial war, Jizhou once suspended the tea party of talents.
Now, the Caizi Tea Club is reopened.
That means that Jizhou has ushered in peace again.
Of course, these are only for ordinary people.
As for the big families.
After hearing the news.
Their mood couldn't help but get nervous.
You know, just yesterday.
Cao Cao was in the General's Mansion, and he did everything possible to win over the Hebei family and reward him well.
And today, there is news that Cao Zhi held a tea party for talented people.
What does that mean?
What are the hidden political signals behind this?
Although everyone doesn't know, they can guess a thing or two.
"Could it be that Cao Cao wants to use this grand event to envelop the next generation of the He family?" This is the first thought in the minds of the vast majority of families.
Cui Mansion.
When he saw the invitation handed over by his subordinates, Cui Yan was silent.
Although Cui Yan knew that the Cui family couldn't hide from this talent tea party.
But when he thought of Cao Zhi's humiliation of himself last night, Cui Yan became angry.
Still, while angry.
But in the face of this invitation, Cui Yan really couldn't ignore it.
Because, Cao Zhi is standing behind him, but Cao Cao.
"Well, anyway, it's also an accompaniment, so just choose two children to go!"
The same thing happened in various families in Yecheng.
Under Cao Zhi's deliberate publicity, this matter was discussed in the streets and alleys of Yecheng.
In a huge restaurant.
A white-clad scribe who was waking up from a hangover.
When I learned from the people around me that Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Zhi, was going to hold a "talented tea party".
Instinctively, there was a hint of disdain on this person's face.
In his opinion, the reason why Cao Cao did this was just to make a name for Cao Zhi.
With Cao Zhi's age and experience, it is destined that this "talented tea party" will be like a child's house.
"Hmph, this Cao Apu, he's quite good at playing!"
After complaining, the white-clothed scribe struggled to his feet and prepared to leave.
Just as he got up and didn't take two steps, a figure suddenly blocked in front of him.
"This gentleman, my son-in-law is invited!"
