Actually, Cao Wuben didn't plan to say this, but he really couldn't help it.

Those who only watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may not be familiar with Zhong Xuan.

After Cao Pi became the Han Dynasty, the three dukes of Wei were all old men with outstanding merits and both ability and political integrity, and almost all of them came to serve in old age, and the average age of more than 20 three dukes was seventy years old, so there were even cases where Han Ji died after serving as Situ for a month or two.

The Three Dukes became a national symbol other than the Son of Heaven, and Zhong Xuan, together with Hua Xin and Wang Lang, became the first Three Dukes and was a famous minister of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Coincidentally, his son is also a third duke, and he is the only one under the age of fifty among the more than 20 three dukes in the Wei State for decades.

It can even be said that he is the only big man who became a third prince at a young age.

Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui's life is really open, he was born in a big family, favored by the auxiliary minister, and there are countless anecdotes about his cleverness.

At the age of twenty-two, he served as Shang Shulang, at the age of thirty-six, he was appointed as the captain of Sili, in charge of Gyeonggi, and at the age of thirty-eight, he destroyed Shu and became Situ, ranking as the third duke.

Compared with the vast majority of the elders who only became the third prince in their sixties, he was too young, and it was precisely because he was too young that he had to fear the suspicion of the Sima clan and began to rebel.

When Zhong Hui only wanted to focus on the army to suppress Shu and take Hanzhong and leave, Deng Ai, the king of the workers, attacked and destroyed Shu.

Since then, Zhonghui has never been able to return to Chaozhong. He has no sons, so he has no weaknesses, he is too young, and if he is promoted, he can only rebel, and he can only be suspicious when he goes back.

A plan to harm the three sages, for Zhong Hui, is to invite you into the urn.

Just looking at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, some people will be curious, why Deng Ai was framed for rebellion, and his reputation was ruined, Zhong Hui was really a rebellion, but even his own brother was not connected, and he was able to die a good death, and even more, after the Sima family replaced Cao, he even rehabilitated Zhong Hui, which is really a strange thing.

However, after Cao Wu came to this era, he gradually understood how the family of this era was intertwined.

Xun Yu has the talent of Wang Zuo, and the relocation of the capital to Xudu is a magical step to benefit Yingchuan, so that the already powerful Yingchuan family will soar again, and the Xun family, Zhong family, Chen family, and Yu family will become the forefront of the family.

The Zhong family has countless in-laws with various families, and it is impossible to offend the Sima family. So Deng Ai, who was framed, was infamous, but Zhong Hui, who really plotted rebellion, was rehabilitated.

The intricacies of this kind of family hindered the upward path of a poor family like Deng Ai, and it also became their gold medal for avoiding death.

But now, for Zhong Xuan, who is already quite old in front of Cao Wu, it is still too early.

Yingchuan Zhong's is still on the rise, Zhong Yu and others are still growing, and there are still more than ten years before the birth of Zhong Hui, another Wang Zuozhicai in Yingchuan.

Diao Chan patted Cao Wu's thigh again, and then stroked it a few times, signaling that he had lost his words.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun were also puzzled, they had faced two high-ranking officials of two thousand stones before, Cao Wu or gags, or coercion and temptation, all showed their skills, why did Zhong Xuan say this.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun didn't dare to look out, but Diao Chan had seen Zhong Xuan, and he had seen it when he was in Chang'an, when Zhong Xuan was an extremely upright middle-aged man.

Now he has grown an extremely upright old age, nearly sixty years old, and the maintenance is okay, but his face also has markings, and his white beard is old.

It is not impossible to take a concubine at this age, but Cao Wu persuaded him to have another son, which was a bit frivolous.

Diao Chan even suspected that Zhong Xuan would burst out in the next moment and rush into the carriage.

This is an extremely normal thing for the literati of the Later Han Dynasty who have not lost their ideals and beliefs.

Cao Wu actually felt that he was a little speechless, calculating his age, Zhong Hui's biological mother, may not be ten years old this year, and she will be remembered by Zhong Xuan, an old man. He wanted to make amends, but he didn't expect Zhong Miao to smile.

What Zhong Yu was thinking about was the conversation between Xun Yu and him a few months ago.

At that time, Xun Yu told him that the general of Beifu said that Zhong Xuan would grow old and have a son, and this son would definitely move the world and even spread through the ages.

He thought Xun Yu was joking, but Xun Yu's expression was very formal, he thought Cao Wu was joking, but as soon as Cao Wu saw him, he said it again.

He suddenly felt that he should really take a concubine and test whether what Cao Wu said was right.

He is nearly sixty years old, and since Pingyang City repelled the Southern Xiongnu, he has not thought about anything for a long time.

Zhong Xuan stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation to Cao Wu's carriage, and said with a smile: "Thank you General Beifu for reminding me today, if he really has an heir in the future, he will also invite the general to the banquet to give his name." ”

At this moment, Cao Wu was surprised, Diao Chan was surprised, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun even thought that Captain Si Li was a frivolous person.

None of them knew that there was Xun Lingjun's credit here, and Xun Lingjun's unintentional words were rooted in Zhong Xuan's heart, and he had been thinking about it since he got a son.

Seeing Cao Wu's expression, Zhong Miao knew that Cao had nothing to think, and said with a smile: "In the past, Beizhong Lang gave Lu Gong a son at the age of sixty-three, and his son's name was Yu, and he was famous for his literary reputation. ”

Beizhong Lang will be the famous Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei were his disciples, his widow Lu Yu is just emerging now, has not yet come out, Cao Wu knows, in the future, Lu Yu does not rely on the family, white body, will go through the entire Cao Wei Dynasty, become the Wei and Jin Dynasty, his descendants, but also developed into the Fan Yang Lu family, ranked five surnames and seven wangs, in the Northern Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties left a strong stroke.

It can be seen from this that Zhong Miao is full of confidence and is going to give birth to an old man.

This is still the only one among the three two thousand stones who has the right to speak, and even Cao Wu didn't think of how to take it.

Zhong Miao said again: "I heard that Luyang guards Lu Jining too much, and he has a son Lu Ji at the age of sixty-two, and I heard that Lu Ji became famous at a young age and was hired by Sun Zhongmou as a guest. With these two cases, aren't all old children prodigies? ”

This time it was Lu Xun's turn to be embarrassed, if it weren't for Lu Kang's old man to have a son, and Lu Ji's brothers died at the hands of Sun Ce, Lu Ji himself was too young, why would he carry the Lu family at a young age.

Cao Wu didn't expect Zhong Xuan, who was known for his uprightness, to be such an interesting person, and thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he might as well make friends.

As for how credible Zhong Xuan's words are, Cao Wu can only say that not all people in this court are easy to handle, and there are also improvisable masters like Zhong Xuan.

Zhong Xuan made a gesture of invitation again, and Cao Wu couldn't help but ask, "What is Yuan Changgong asking for here?" ”

Zhong Xuan was silent, as if he didn't expect Cao Wu to still ask the most critical question, he actually didn't want to say it.

"Intercede."

He said.

Cao Wu was stunned, and immediately saluted through the carriage window: "Sima Yi, I have to move, the old gentleman is sorry." ”
