Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2763 Sooner or later
The 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...

At first Cao Pi thought he had brains, 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 was so full of ghosts, why did he only have one or two left when he arrived at Cao Pi's place?

And sometimes there is aura and sometimes there is no aura?

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

Just like Kong Rong.

No matter how famous or prestige is, without political savvy, is it a ball?

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

As time passed, Mrs. Bian's eyes became more and more unfriendly, 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. Bian pointed out, "Ask a few more questions about everything, how can you let things go so casually?" 』

"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?
It's because the matter of Kong Rong is too small, like a child's play, so let him...

right?
Mrs. Bian was a little helpless.

In fact, all children have such a 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 I know how to think, and I often have to suffer a few big losses first...

Mrs. 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, it was not Cao Cao who brought him, but Cao Pi himself, who hosted on behalf of Cao Cao.

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

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

Cao Pi said in a deep voice, "Look at the state 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! 』

Mrs. 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 anything else?" 』

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 hesitantly, and tentatively threw out an answer, ‘Mother means... etiquette? 』

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

A question of etiquette...

Strictly speaking, 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 surrounding stick and dwarf countries, 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 away.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 a big man will have to rely on his family.

Hmm, maybe Cao Cao is doing 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 was indeed a heavy blow to the old "etiquette" 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 lightly and said, "It's you! 』

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

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

Cao Pi laughed loudly, "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... alas..." Mrs. Bian said slowly, "But above the court, there is also the light of swords." Blood Shadow!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 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 lightly, "Promise me...don't let me meet you Auntie-like thing...」

"Mother..." Cao Pi fell to the ground and kowtowed, "Baby, I understand..."

..._(:з」∠)_...

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

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

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

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

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

There are people who have no talent and 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.

When Kong Rong died, Xi Xi had some ideas.

Do you have a guilty conscience?

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 thoughts.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 up.

So Cao Cao, who held the emperor hostage, wouldn't he worry that one day he would be concocted in the same way and become another kind of hostage?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.

Does this make 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 Xi laughed, and nodded again and again, "Blessed, blessed! 』

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

Although Lu Cui said it in a secretive way, it's 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, "Should I walk around more? 』

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

As comrades-in-arms who once dug black material in a ditch, the two of them had 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 first eldest son died quite strangely...and now the second eldest son is pushed out...If the prime minister actually intended...』

"What do you mean?" ”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 prince...how could the prime minister not guard against it now?" 』

Xi Ji shivered for a moment, then hurriedly cupped his hands to Lu Cui, "Thank you for your reminder, 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 do you mean?
The cold wind came whistling, and then whistled away.

Although there was a stove beside them to warm the wine, Xi Xi and Lu Cui seemed to still feel a little bit chilly, 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 on, I won't be going home, let's stay in the official residence temporarily..."

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

…╰(*°▽°)(°▽°*)╯……

In the same 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 Beihai Prime Minister and 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 person 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 he got angry, 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, he couldn't get up or down, it was hard and uncomfortable.

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 didn't Liu Xie hand 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?
"The villain...the villain! ’Liu Xie leaned on the incense table in the Taimiao, and whispered angrily, ‘They are all thieves!thief! 』

Maybe he was still the emperor after all, Liu Xie didn't greet the relatives of these thieves unscrupulously like those people in the village.

Even if Cao Cao came to deal with this matter, Liu Xie would 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? !

Say Cao Pi is a child, don't be as knowledgeable as a child?
When Liu Xie was a child, why didn't anyone say this?
Liu Xie gritted his teeth, he thought this was a temptation by Cao Cao!
A blatant usurpation of imperial power under the guise of Cao Pi's behavior!

But the problem is, Liu Xie didn't think of any good way to fight back right now!
Rebuke in court?
If reprimand is useful, then there will not be so many rebellious officials and thieves in the world.

So what should I do?
or……

Give Cao Pi a job?
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 about it this way, it seems that giving Cao Pi a position can not only paralyze the opponent, but also wait for the opportunity?
But even thinking of such a strategy for a while still made Liu Xie feel very uncomfortable.

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

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

But the surrounding area was 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 saw 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 right, I'm a little hungry too, and there's Queen Lao." 』

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

"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...
