Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 41 The cheating Cao Cao

It was really not easy for Fei Qian to complete the whole set of teacher apprenticeship ceremony, especially at the end of offering Shu Xiu, two old men—Cai Yong and Liu Hong both stood up, making Fei Qian holding Shu Xiu I don't know what to do.

  Fortunately, Liu Hong and Cai Yong had already communicated in private to arrange the distribution, and each of them reached out to take half of it, which was considered to have relieved Fei Qian's encirclement and successfully completed the etiquette.

But even so, it still made the eyes of the people on the side drop all over the place, especially the envy and hatred of Fei Qian - having a literary master Cai Yong as a master is enough to make people jealous, and one more Liu Hong, the master of the arithmetic world, this is simply unreasonable. No one else can get a single one. This person occupies two of his life. What is the name of this person? Go back and write a villain to nail it...

It is said that being Cai Yong's disciple is really good. The ceremony of apprenticeship to the master did not cost much, but there are a lot of gifts in return-"Zuo Zhuan" from Master Cai Yong, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Notes" from Master Liu Hong, brother Cao Cao He gave Fei Qian a jade pendant, and what excited Fei Qian the most was that Cai Yan also gave him a gift—the two rolls of sheepskin from Shendu and Dashi...

   There is actually a glazed bead, why does it look so similar to what I made earlier...

   Well, the gift is not important, the important thing is who gave it, okay? Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about what Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji gave, even if it is a straw paper.

  Cai Yong said that there are three more senior brothers, who are not in Luoyang at present, so let’s introduce each other when we have a chance in the future—Fei Qian made a secret note, um, there are still three return gifts to be collected...

  These three brothers are Gu Yong, Ruan Yu, and Lu Cui, and Cao Cao is the fourth. If Cai Yan is also included, then Fei Qian is Cai Yong's sixth disciple.

Brother Gu Yong, Feiqian seems to have some impressions, either from Jingzhou or Yangzhou, it seems that in the end it was under the hands of Soochow Sun Quan, as for the other two senior brothers, Ruan Yu and Lu Cui, Feiqian is really a little I don't have any impression, so I have to inquire about it slowly in the future.

   After paying homage to the teacher, there will be a large banquet, which seems to be the same in ancient and modern times.

Fei Qian was led by Cai Yong and Liu Hong, on the Zuixian Tower, the largest restaurant in Luoyang City, toasted a glass of wine to this high court official, and a glass of wine to that scholar. Unable to bear the crowd, he walked around for a few laps. After toasting each cup, Fei Qian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was so drunk that he became unconscious...

  **************

  Different from Fei Qian's happiness, Cao Cao is very hesitant now.

  During Fei Qian's apprenticeship ceremony, Yuan Shu found him and told him his plan to rescue the young emperor, which surprised him very much.

   I didn't expect Yuan Gonglu to have such courage! To be honest, Cao Cao didn't think about reporting on Yuan Shu at all. Although they didn't deal with each other very much these years, after all, they used to be brothers, so it would be a bit base to report.

  On the other hand, this plan is fatally attractive to him.

  If it was someone else, they might still be afraid of this and that, but Cao Cao is different. The case of his grandfather Cao Teng is something he has been familiar with since he was a child, and he admires it very much.

  In August of the first year of Jiankang, Emperor Han Shun died, and Emperor Han Shun's two-year-old son, Emperor Han Chong, succeeded to the throne. In the first month of the first year of Yongxi, Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty, who had succeeded to the throne for less than half a year, died mysteriously. At that time, it was said that he died of illness.

   It is not a good thing that two emperors die within a year.

  So the ministers at that time thought that an older and virtuous clan should be appointed as the emperor, at least it would not be so easy to die.

After discussion and discussion, the Qingliu people all favored Qinghe King Liu Lian, but the foreign relative Liang Ji had different opinions. In order for him to continue to be in power, he insisted on making Liu Yan, the son of Liu Hong, the eight-year-old Bohai filial king, as emperor. It is Emperor Hanzhi.

  Therefore, it is not without precedent for Dong Zhuo's former relatives to change the emperor.

   Later, under Qingliu's continuous teaching and advocacy, Emperor Han Zhi felt that the general Liang Ji who supported him was becoming more and more hateful, so he turned his face and turned his back on him. He even publicly called Liang Ji a "dominant general" at a court meeting.

   Then, of course, Emperor Han Zhi's small arms and legs couldn't twist the general Liang Ji, and he was tragically poisoned to death by Liang Ji...

  After the death of Emperor Hanzhi, the officials of the court continued to be divided into two factions, one led by Li Gu, Minister of Qingliu, who supported King Qinghe as emperor;

  As for how Emperor Han Zhi died, no one is going to pursue it—they are all dead anyway. Is it meaningful to pursue that? It would be more practical to get some credit now...

   And the greatest contribution is to support the new emperor—

When the two factions were constantly in dispute, Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, saw that the opportunity was ripe, and visited Liang Ji in person, expressing that the eunuchs headed by him supported Liang Ji, and pointed out that King Qinghe was a strict man. It is difficult to guarantee safety, but if Liu Zhi is established, wealth can be preserved for a long time.

  Foreign relatives and eunuchs teamed up, Qingliu had to retreat steadily, and then Liang Ji and Cao Teng supported Liu Zhi as emperor, who was Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty.

  After Emperor Huan of the Han came to the throne, Cao Teng was granted the title of Marquis of Fei Ting because of his meritorious deeds.

Now it seems that there is a similar opportunity in front of Cao Cao. After Han Shaodi is abolished, if Dong Zhuo's newly established emperor cannot last long, then Han Shaodi will have the opportunity to ascend the throne again. Cao Cao, who rescued Shaodi from the fire and water, will be with Cao Cao Like his grandfather Cao Teng, he has made outstanding contributions, and it is no problem to be named a marquis and a prime minister...

  Of course, this is also accompanied by great risks, but if you want to be rich, you don't have to take risks? Is it worth it or not to exchange a temporary risk for a lifetime of wealth?

  Cao Cao was a little hesitant, so before Fei Qian's apprentice banquet was over, he hurried home to discuss with his father Cao Song. After all, this matter, regardless of success or failure, will involve the whole family.

Cao Song listened quietly to Cao Cao's words, and asked Cao Cao: "What is my son's intention? If the matter fails, where will you put the Cao family?"——You come to me to discuss it, which means that you still have something to do. But if it fails, what will the Cao family do with such a big family?

   "I never thought about it. It's just that I can't miss it..." Cao Cao lowered his head and said very reluctantly, "If the father doesn't allow...that's all..."

   Cao Song looked at his son in front of him, his words turned into a sigh, what could he say? This son dared to risk his life to gain wealth, and he could still say that it is for your father's wealth and life, or not to do it? Even if he said it, would this ambitious son listen willingly?

   "Ru, let's go." Cao Song said after a long silence, "For my father... I have agreed..."

   "Wei!" Cao Cao kowtowed to his father Cao Song, then turned and left.

   "Ah Man!" Cao Song stopped Cao Cao who took two steps away, his lips trembled a few times, and finally he just said, "...my son...so I can do it for myself..."

  Cao Cao bowed again, and strode out, leaving Cao Song in the house gradually engulfed by shadows.

  **************

   On that day, Cao Song packed up his things and left Luoyang with Cao Cao's three younger brothers, Cao De, Cao Bin, and Cao Yu, before the city gate closed, and went to Liu Rong, the king of Langya in Xuzhou.

Cough cough, the author is still suffering from a cough and headache... The business of poisoning the emperor by the relatives of the Han Dynasty is very skilled... The Qingliu are also very skilled in the business of forgetting the emperor... As for why Dong Zhuo did the fine tradition of the relatives of the Han Dynasty, so many people Just talking about it, I can only say that Mr. Luo's romance is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a collection...
