Chapter 574: Temptation

Cao Hong met with the two sons of the Tao family and described the incident to the two sons of the Tao family.

At the same time, he also degraded Liu Bei, described him as the biggest threat to Xuzhou, and also described him Liu Bei as coming to fight for Xuzhou, the biggest enemy of their Cao family, and even more hateful than Cao Cao.

Tao Qian's two sons are also adults, but their political talent is relatively weak.

After Tao Qian became the lord of Xuzhou, he never appointed the two of them to substantive official positions, but just let them follow them as their own history and gradually understand various matters in Xuzhou.

This is the intention to raise his two sons.

Among these two sons, Tao Shang, as the eldest son, was naturally cultivated by Tao Qian as a successor.

And the potter himself regarded himself as the person who would take over the lord of Xuzhou from Tao Qian in the future.

In fact, it stands to reason that Tao Qian is currently the executive governor of Xuzhou, but the Han Dynasty has never said that the executive chief should follow the precedent of passing from father to son.

It's just that now the world is in turmoil, and the local shepherds regard the local counties as their private property, and the official positions as their legitimate control of the localities.

The use of power for personal gain has been common sense since ancient times.

Tao Qian's two sons did not escape the exception.

Especially after they listened to Cao Hong's story today, a sense of anxiety filled their hearts.

Soon I saw the pottery merchant slowly speak, my father is now seriously ill and delirious, if Liu Bei is really as Cao Gong said, with different ambitions, and seized Xuzhou, then how should my brother deal with himself in the future?

Cao Hong let out a long sigh and said, "Isn't this simple? Your father was the former lord of Xuzhou, if he Liu Bei took Xuzhou, would the two of you still want to live? If the two of you are Liu Bei, after taking Xuzhou, will you still keep the lives of the two brothers? Wouldn't that leave a curse for yourself? ”

"Two sons, Liu Bei came to take Xuzhou, it is indeed to seize the foundation, but the two of you guarding Xuzhou are not so simple as the foundation, you are guarding your own life, and you are guarding the roots of the Tao family."

The pottery merchant was a little nervous when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then you might as well unite the Mi family, the Chen family and other major families to jointly prevent Liu Bei?" ”

Cao Hong shook his head helplessly and said, "Childe's idea is good, but I just don't know if other people's hearts are towards Childe?" In my opinion, I'm afraid that Mi Zhu and Chen Jue have now been taken care of by Liu Bei, and their hearts are towards Liu Bei! ”

The potter hurriedly said, "My father has been so kind to them, can they behave like this?" ”

Cao Hong laughed loudly: "What's not gracious? People are just acting for their own families, so how can they care about anything else? ”

"If the son doesn't believe it, I have a way, you might as well test the attitude of the Mi family, as long as you test it a little, the things in it will naturally be clear."

The potter and Tao Ying glanced at each other.

Then I saw the potter arching his hand at Cao Hong:

"I don't know the temptation that Cao Gong said...... How is it tempting? ”

Cao Hong said: "At the end of the year last year, Tao Zhijun was drunk, and Mi Zizhong agreed on the things at the banquet, eldest son, do you still remember?" ”

The potter was obviously a little forgetful, and he frowned and thought carefully for a long time.

"I can't remember what was agreed between my father and Mi Zizhong at that time.

But Tao Ying on the side seemed to be in the spirit all of a sudden.

"Brother, have you forgotten? At that time, my father once said that the daughter of the Mi family, beautiful and virtuous, was quite famous among the wealthy in Xuzhou, and my father had an agreement with Mi Zizhong to include the woman in my Tao family and marry the Mi family. ”

After Tao Ying said this, the potter was stunned.

"I remembered that my father entertained the officials of Xuzhou after the New Year's Day, and he did say this to Mi Zizhong after getting drunk."

"It's just that at that time, my father and Mi Zizhong were drunk and joking, how can I take it seriously?"

Mi Zhu's sister Mi Zhen is extremely beautiful, and this matter is well known in the entire East China Sea Kingdom.

In addition, the Mi family of the East China Sea is the first wealthy family in Xuzhou, and Mi Zhen's worth is naturally incomparable.

Many heroes and celebrities regard Mi Zhen as a good match and want to marry the Mi clan in the East China Sea.

But it's no wonder that the white-skinned, beautiful and long-legged family, and the mother's family is still rich and rich, which man in Xuzhou doesn't care? Which one doesn't scratch in the heart?

But Mi Zhu is an authentic businessman.

He naturally wants to use his good sister to maximize the interests of the East China Sea Mi clan.

I won't let go of my sister when I'm free.

Mi Zhu will definitely use his sister to marry a family that can maximize the benefits of the Mi clan in the East China Sea.

Tao Qian was drunk, so he joked with Mi Zhu, saying that he had long heard that the daughter of the Mi family in the East China Sea was beautiful and virtuous, and wanted to be in-laws with the Mi family, so that his second son Tao Ying would marry Mi Zhen as his wife.

Of course, this is because Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, already has a wife.

And Mi Zhu also smiled and joked with Tao Qian to respond to this family matter.

But in fact, it is just the drunken words of the two parties, and it should not be true.

Tao Qian himself may have forgotten about it a long time ago.

As for Mi Zhu, it is even more impossible to take this matter as a matter.

If Tao Qian asked his eldest son to marry his sister, Mi Zhu might consider it, but he let his second son marry Mi Zhu's sister, in other words, from Mi Zhu's point of view, he couldn't agree to this matter at all.

Everyone's drunken words, I didn't expect Tao Qian's second son Tao Ying to really take this matter to heart.

I really don't blame Tao Ying's heart, looking at the entire East China Sea Country, I can't find a good match like Mi Zhen who is rich and amazingly beautiful.

Tao Ying has always remembered this matter in his heart, but he didn't have time to bring it up to his father, not to mention that such a big thing happened in Xuzhou recently, how could anyone have the leisure to do this?

But Tao Ying didn't speak, but Cao Hong knew his thoughts in his heart.

Cao Hong is a treacherous villain, and what he is best at on weekdays is flattery.

is not only aimed at Tao Qian, but also pays special attention to Tao Ying's two sons.

Therefore, what Tao Ying is thinking in his heart, Cao Hong is clear in his heart.

"The two sons, even if Tao Yuanjun and Mi Zhu were joking at the beginning, but with Tao Yuanjun's prestige in Xuzhou now, as well as his identity, if you really want to marry the Mi family, isn't it a kind of love and favor for the Mi family?"

Neither the potter nor Tao Ying denied this.

After all, their father is the lord of Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu is rich in the East China Sea, and he is also his father's subordinate.

Confidence in the Mystery ......

"The two sons, if you go to test the Mi family now, you want to marry them...... I expect that the Mi family will inevitably pass the buck! ”

"Tao Envoy Jun leads Xuzhou, if you want to marry the Mi family, you will not be rejected if you are idle, if Mi Zhu refuses, the two sons can think about why?"

The potter said nervously: "If you refuse, it means that the Mi family has two hearts." ”

Cao Hong said slowly: "If you want to marry me, Cao is naturally looking forward to it, and you must burn incense and pray, thank the heavens for your favor!" ”

The potter pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, I will personally go to the Mi family, as a reference to my brother's family, and see how the Mi family responds?" ”

Cao Hong smiled: "It's right here." ”

The next day, the potter unloaded the generous gift and personally went to the Mizhu Mansion as a guest.

The eldest son came, and Mi Zhu naturally warmly entertained him.

During this period, the potter threw out this matter, saying that his younger brother did not have a wife, and the talented daughter of the Donghai Mi clan was not married.

Mi Zhu naturally couldn't agree.

He has given up on the Tao family in his heart, how can he still marry him.

So, Mi Zhu didn't take the potter's stubble, but just talked about him left and right, and pushed the matter over.

Mi Zhu felt that this matter had been pushed, but in fact, the potter remembered it.

He went back and told Tao Ying, and the two brothers discussed it, and felt that Mi really changed his mind.

The Mi family is still like a play, not to mention the other clans in Xuzhou?

They remembered Cao Hong's words:

"How dangerous the situation is for the two sons!"

So, the two couldn't help but say that they ran to find Tao Qian!
