MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2763 sooner or later

  Chapter 2763 Sooner or later

  Brain is a good thing.

  Some people originally had brains, and then they were slowly deceived or stolen away, but some people gave it to others on their own initiative...

  Cao Pi thought he had brains at first, but after being told by Mrs. Bian, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have so many brains.

  Yeah, why? What Cao Pi thought was very reasonable at first, but after being asked one more reason by Mrs. Bian, he suddenly felt a little unreasonable.

   Madam Bian looked at Cao Pi somewhat helplessly.

  Cao Cao's full of ghosts, why did he only have one or two left when he arrived at Cao Pi's place?

   And there are sometimes auras and sometimes not auras?

  For a character who is destined to hang around in the court, without some twists and turns, it is almost equivalent to being tricked sooner or later. It even killed me!

   Just like Kong Rong.

   No matter how famous and prestigious, no political savvy, is it a ball?

   It is indeed a ball, which can be handled and slapped at will.

  As time went by, Mrs. Bian's eyes became more and more unkind, and beads of sweat rolled down Cao Pi's forehead.

  『Things must have a cause, and if there is a cause, there must be an effect. Between cause and effect, there must be a context... 』Mrs. 』

  『Ah, why? ’ Cao Pi subconsciously asked

  『Ask yourself! Don't ask me! ”Mrs. Bian lost her patience, and after a low growl, she lowered her voice again, “You have to think for yourself first! Otherwise, if you directly ask others why, don’t you not use your own brain? 』

  『(⊙o⊙)…』Cao Pi worked hard to stir his brain.

   Yes, why did Cao Cao appoint him as the host?

  Because Kong Rong’s matter is too small, it’s like a child’s play, so let him…

   Isn't it?

   Mrs. Bian was a little helpless.

  Children actually have this problem, that is, when they are with their parents, they are often lazy. Too lazy to do things, too lazy to think about things, and will not completely give up dependence until the child lives in a strange and dangerous environment. But it's really until that time that you can think, and you often have to suffer a few big losses first...

  Ms. Bian reminded: "What's the difference between this time and the usual ones?" 』

  Cao Cao also took Cao Pi to attend some meetings before, but this time, Cao Pi was not with Cao Cao, but Cao Pi himself, presided over on behalf of Cao Cao.

  『Ah, I see! ”Cao Pi clapped a row of palms, “Father let me see it! 』

  Madam Bian nodded slightly, "What are you looking at?" 』

  Cao Pi said in a deep voice: "Look at the attitude of the officials!" Before being at my father's side, the officials were afraid of my father's power, but now that my father is not there, the officials are more or less relaxed! 』

  Madam Bian nodded and said, "What else?" 』

  Cao Pi continued to think, "I still listen to the changes before and after! What was the attitude of these people about the matter of Confucianism in the past, and what are their words and deeds now, and what are the changes before and after! 』

   Mrs. Bian asked: "Is there any more?" 』

  Cao Pi was taken aback, what else? So he couldn't help grinning in embarrassment, looking at Mrs. Bian helplessly, "Mother..."

   "Kong Wenju's death," Mrs. Bian looked at Cao Pi, "You don't have any other ideas? 』

"idea? ’Cao Pi looked at Mrs. Bian falteringly, and tentatively threw out an answer, ‘Mother, you mean... etiquette? 』

  『Does this still need to be said? Madam Bian said angrily, "Didn't I tell you this before?" 』

  The question of etiquette...

  Cao Cao let Cao Pi take over as the host of the meeting of the prime minister's mansion. Strictly speaking, it is not in line with the "law of etiquette". Of course, the more direct and cruel thing is to kill Kong Rong, the descendant of Confucius, the successor of etiquette, on the charge of "disloyalty and unfilial piety", which is almost "disrespectful".

  Cao Cao’s background is not good...

  Although for many people in later generations, there is no concept of high or low birth, but if you look at the stick and dwarf countries around you, you will know that in those countries, a surname can even determine a person's life! Although there are still various circles under the red flag, after all, there is still a chance for the common people to be promoted. Every year in the senior high school entrance examination, the country still tries its best to maintain a relatively fair fellowship, and severely punishes some of them who are opportunistic and sneaky. punish.

Regardless of whether it is the talent transfer base in the United States or something else, every year there are still some students from the lowest level of the country who can get in by studying. In the country of Bangzi and Shorty, almost all ordinary people want to enter the first-class universities in their country. It is possible to complete the task, because only in the most expensive cram schools, there are those special exam-oriented counseling for universities, and those knowledge are not taught at all in ordinary middle schools.

  In the Han Dynasty, although blood was not as emphasized as in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, it still attached great importance to birth. Basically, when strangers meet and greet each other, the first thing to do is to ask each other's name and place of origin. It’s like when Hong Kong people meet and ask where they live first, if they live in Sham Shui Po, Kwun Tong, then hehehe...

  Cao Cao was born as an eunuch, which is almost a stain that cannot be washed clean. No matter how many things Cao Cao has done, among some Qingliu's remarks, it is still after moving the eunuch, and it is more serious and even eunuchs. Some people have been commenting that Cao Cao, after being an eunuch, is in the position of prime minister, just like a rooster in the morning, and sooner or later the big man will have to rely on his family.

   Well, maybe Cao Cao has this lady or that lady all day long to prove that he is not a castrate?

  Anyway, Cao Cao's beheading of Kong Rong this time is indeed a heavy blow to the old "ethics" of the great man. But what Mrs. Bian wanted Cao Pi to think about was not just the "etiquette" mentioned earlier.

  Seeing that Cao Pi couldn't figure it out, Mrs. Bian sighed softly and said, "It's you! 』

"I? 』Cao Pi pointed at himself, very puzzled.

  Madam Bian nodded, "Why did you go instead of Zhi'er or Chong'er?" 』

  Cao Piha laughed, "How could it be possible for Brother Zhi...uh..."

  Cao Pi was taken aback suddenly.

   Madam Bian looked at Cao Pi, then sighed softly, reached out and touched Cao Pi's head, "Think about it yourself, your elder brother...does he deserve to die?" Kong Wenju, is there really any crime? So why dead, why guilty? Don't you understand, don't you see clearly? In this world, do you really think that the innocent are innocent? Is black and white really so clear in front of you? 』

  『During the battle, if you are not careful, you will be shrouded in horse leather, and the blood will stain the yellow sand...Your aunt was...ah...' Mrs. Bian said slowly, 『But this court is also full of swords and blood! You feel that you are sitting in the hall, watching how Kong Wenju died, and you don’t know that it is your father who wants you to know. If you are not careful that day and you end up in the same situation as Kong Wenju, it will be the same! Whether you did it or not, whether you are guilty or innocent, you will die the same! do you understand? ! 』

"You're not young anymore, don't play around... just use some snacks," Mrs. Bian touched Cao Pi's head, and then patted Cao Pi again, "Promise me... don't let me meet you like your aunt" things...'

  『My lord…』 Cao Pi bowed to the ground and kowtowed to the ground, 『Baby, I understand...』

  …_(:з」∠)_…

   Regarding Cao Cao's practice of sending Cao Pi to represent the meeting, Xi Xi has a different view from Mrs. Bian.

  In the small courtyard of Xixi's own house, the moon and stars are scarce, and there is a single lamp, and the fire of the small red stove is shining, permeating the light fragrance of wine in this cold winter night.

  Some people drink for enjoyment, while others drink for anesthesia.

  Xi Xi shook the wine glass, watching the wine swirl in the glass like a vortex, and then felt that his own soul seemed to start to spin along with the vortex in the glass, unable to control himself.

  When I was young, Chi Chi also felt that I was born with talent, but now Chi Chi is expressing that talent is useless?

  There are people who have no talent but no achievements, but if they cast a good tire, they can sit high above them!

  『What kind of person do you think Shizi is? ’ Xi Xi asked with a bit of drunkenness as he swung his wine glass.

  Kong Rong died, and Xi Xi had a little idea.

   Are you guilty of being a thief?

  He was worried, afraid, just like the moment, anesthetizing himself with alcohol.

   Xixi was worried, so he naturally thought of his own future, and naturally thought of Cao Cao's successor. Xi Xi asked Lu Cui this way, of course, to find a way out for himself in the future.

  When Cao Cao established the entire administrative team, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty had already declined. At that time, not only Dong Zhuo was in chaos, but even Yuan Shao and even Liu Xie's relatives had their own ideas. So the prestige of the emperor Liu Xie is actually not so inviolable among the ideas of these gentry children...

   In other words, it is down to overcome up.

  Then Cao Cao, who was holding the emperor hostage, wouldn't he be worried that he would be concocted in the same way and become another kind of hostage one day? Therefore, in terms of authority, Cao Cao is more concerned than anyone else. This time Cao Pi came forward to act as the host, which really surprised Xi Xi.

   Is this what made Cao Pi start to get involved in the political arena and cultivate him as a key successor?

  Lu Cui glanced at Xi Ji, and said, "My son is a blessed man!" 』

   Xi Ji laughed and nodded again and again, "Blessed, blessed! 』

  Although it is said that criticizing the emperor or the nobles in this era does not mean that it is like the literary inquisition of later generations, which is replaced by stars at every turn, but after all, it will not say some ugly words.

  Although Lu Cui said it in a secretive way, it is actually not too cryptic.

   There is no doubt about this. Cao Pi is of course more blessed than his elder brother, but this so-called "blessing" actually means that Cao Pi only has "blessing" to some extent?

If the family life is simple since childhood, then naturally they will not be willing to spend extravagantly when they grow up, but the rich second generation is different. First, they don’t feel the hardships of their parents starting a business. On the other hand, the family also has savings. , no need to suffer from money anymore, so there is no scruple in spending money.

   Blessed, but not necessarily capable. Isn't there a saying called stupid people have stupid blessings?

  『Then, since you are a blessed person…』 Xi Ji pondered for a while, 『Does that mean we need to move around more? 』

  Lu Cui frowned, but didn't answer right away.

  As comrades-in-arms who once dug black material in a ditch, the two of them have a stronger relationship to some extent.

"Ah..." After a while, Lu Cui suddenly seemed to think of something, but his body trembled slightly, and then he looked around meaningfully, and then said in a low voice, "I suddenly remembered something... Back then The eldest son died quite strangely...and now the second son is pushed out...If the prime minister actually intended...』

  『What are you interested in? ”Xi Xi subconsciously asked half a sentence, and then suddenly came to his senses, with cold sweat dripping down his face, and the feeling of drunkenness that had been smoky all of a sudden vanished, “Isn’t it? 』

  Lu Cui said in a low voice: "Back then... the eldest son... how can the prime minister not guard against it now?" 』

   Xi Ji trembled for a moment, then hurriedly cupped his hands to Lu Cui, "Thank you for your advice, brother! This... Maybe it's really..."

  When Cao Ang died that year, there were many murmurs in Xu County.

Some people say it was done by Jiangdong assassins, others say it was poisoned by Bian Rangmen, who was killed by Cao Cao, or some kind of punishment from the gods. Anyway, it seems that Cao Ang died because of his father Cao Cao. If it wasn't for him The reason why the father held the emperor hostage was not to make Jizhou and Yuzhou restless, so Cao Ang would not die.

  So now Cao Cao pushes Cao Pi out...

   What are the meanings?

  The cold wind came whistling, and then whistled away again.

  Although there was a stove beside them to warm the wine, Xi Xi and Lu Cui still seemed to feel a little chill, and even lost their desire to drink.

  『Be more cautious, it’s better to be more cautious... 』 Xi Xi said in a low voice, 『From tomorrow onwards, I won’t be going home, let’s stay in the official residence for a while...』

  Lu Cui also nodded, "Go together, go together..."

  …╰(*°▽°)(°▽°*)╯…

  In the same dark night, everyone has different ideas.

  Even if they are on the same bed, there are still more people with different dreams in the same bed.

  Han Emperor Liu Xie, who only wanted ZTE and didn’t want to sacrifice, was obviously very annoyed that Cao Cao had asked Cao Pi to handle the prime minister’s affairs on his behalf, and even felt that this behavior was a serious provocation to the imperial power!

  Although it is said that Kong Rong has resigned, he is also the former Prime Minister of Beihai, Taizhong doctor after all! He is an upright former official of the current dynasty, and a retired cadre officially appointed by the Han family!

   Is the life and death of such a character decided by a small yamen who doesn't even have a formal official position?

  Even the current crown prince cannot have such authority!

  The more Liu Xie thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he got angry, the more he thought about it, and then he choked and felt a pain in his chest. It seemed that there was a stone stuck there, and he couldn't get up or down.

Although Liu Xie said that he had already planned to "sacrifice" Kong Rong in his heart, he also thought about how to "sacrifice" it. Just like offering sacrifices to the gods' cattle and sheep every year, Kong Rong's death should also contribute some value. …

  But what Liu Xie never expected was that it was such a child's play meeting, and then Kong Rong was convicted of the crime, and then the notice was issued directly, without Liu Xie's approval.

  Because Liu Xie handed over this matter to Dali Temple before? Now that Dali Temple has verified it, and the officials have no objection, what else can Liu Xie do?

  『Evil thief...Evil thief! ’Liu Xie leaned on the incense table in the Taimiao, and whispered angrily, ‘They are all thieves! thief! 』

  Perhaps he was still the Son of Heaven after all, Liu Xie did not greet the relatives of these thieves unscrupulously like those people in the village.

   Even if Cao Cao handles this matter, Liu Xie will not be so angry!

After all, Cao Cao is older than Liu Xie, so even if he is upset, he can find some excuses, unlike Liu Xie who can't find any excuses to comfort himself, or even anesthetize himself. …

  How to find it? !

   Said Cao Pi is a child, don't be as knowledgeable as a child?

  When Liu Xie was a child, why did no one say this sentence?

  Liu Xie gritted his teeth, he thought this was a temptation by Cao Cao!

  A kind of blatant usurpation of imperial power under the guise of Cao Pi's behavior!

   But the problem is that Liu Xie didn't think of any good way to fight back right now!

   reprimanded in court?

  If reprimands were useful, there would not be so many rebellious officials and thieves in the world.

   So what should we do?

or…

  Give Cao Pi a position?

Cao Pi doesn't have any public office at the moment, so even if Liu Xie wants to catch Cao Pi's sore feet, he can't catch it, unless Liu Xie can deal with Cao Cao first, but if Cao Pi has a public office, then he has to deal with some affairs, and when dealing with related affairs, there may be some "problems"...

  Thinking of it this way, giving Cao Pi a position seems to be able to paralyze the opponent and wait for the opportunity?

  However, even thinking of such a strategy temporarily made Liu Xie feel very uncomfortable.

  Liu Xie closed his eyes, leaned on the incense table, panted for a long time, and finally suppressed such a bad breath temporarily, then tidied up his clothes, and slowly stepped out of the Taimiao.

  The **** was in front, holding up a lantern to illuminate Liu Xie.

   But the surroundings were dark, and the night was like thick ink, squeezing the only brilliance ahead.

  Liu Xie's complexion was also like the glory in front of him, flickering.

   Turning around the corridor, Liu Xie saw some lights coming in front of him, he was slightly taken aback, and immediately adjusted his expression.

  After a while, I saw Empress Cao coming with some maids, and when I met Liu Xie, I saluted, "Your Majesty, Wanan." The concubine heard that His Majesty was busy with political affairs, so she made some soup and offered it to His Majesty before entering the dinner...」

  Liu Xie smiled, "Ah, just in time, I'm a little hungry too, and there's a queen here." 』

  People on both sides joined together and moved forward slowly, and some voices of conversation could be heard vaguely.

  『Your Majesty, it’s cold and dewy, you still have to take care of your dragon body. 』

  『Thank you Queen for your concern...』

  The voice was faint, like the sun in winter, it seemed warm, but disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye...
