Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17
Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Huangmen picked up the edict of the emperor with a calm expression, and then there was a long paragraph of bitter and difficult to understand, which was naturally written by someone. The little fat man couldn't write such an article, so he naturally felt that My elder emperor couldn't write it out, and the little fat man didn't understand what the emperor wanted to say until he finished reading.

When handing over the money and clothes from the emperor, the little fat man got up to thank him. The emperor gave gold, but he gave it copper coins. There were a lot of beautiful clothes, all of which were gorgeous dresses. These things were piled up on the ox cart. The servants of the Hou's mansion received it, the little fat man smiled, and said just now: "This old man, the journey is far away, he must be a little tired, how about resting in the mansion for a day or two?"

Cao Teng resisted in his heart.

He has already achieved fame and assisted four generations of emperors. This fifth generation, he really didn't want to join in, but when he saw the little fat man, he seemed to see the trembling man who entered the palace many years ago. Cao Teng felt helpless, even though he had achieved great success, but he still didn't dare to resist this kind of young man who might rule the world in the future.

All his life, he lived extremely cautiously. The more cautious a person is, the less likely he is to offend others. Especially, this person may have the fate to determine the fate of his Cao family in the future. Son, and grandson, Cao Teng cupped his hands, leaned over slowly, and said, "Please trouble young gentleman." The little fat man still had a good impression of the old man, so he helped the old man and entered the living room.

"I don't know, old man's surname?" The little fat man knelt down and asked with some doubts. This man is really too old. No matter how lacking people in the palace, he shouldn't let such an old man do things, right? Cao Teng didn't He didn't rely on the old to sell the old, even if his title is comparable to Liu Hong, he said: "This old man's surname is Cao and his name is Teng, and he will be a regular servant in the future."

Xiao Huangmen coughed at the side, and said: "Cao Zhong was often named Marquis of Fei Ting for his meritorious service."

The little fat man was taken aback, and asked with some uncertainty: "Old man, is it Cao Teng? Fei Tinghou? Zhongchang servant Cao Teng?"

Cao Teng thought that the little fat man was surprised by his identity, smiled gently, nodded and said, "It's the old man."

But he didn't want to, the little fat man took a deep breath and asked, "Is the old man has a son called Cao Song?? Does he have a grandson called Cao Cao?" Hearing this, Cao Teng was startled instead, the little fat man Knowing that Cao Song is not a big deal, he is taught by his master around him. Compared with Cao Song, he also served as Jiuqing in the court, but his grandson Cao Cao? ?This year is only 11 years old!How did he know?
"What the young master said is true, I don't know how did the young master know it?"

"Mom!"

The little fat man yelled, jumped up and ran!
Seeing the little fat man fleeing in a hurry, everyone was stunned. Cao Teng stared wide-eyed, not knowing what he said wrong, but the little fat man ran to the study and pushed away suddenly, panting. Furious, he shouted, "So impatient! What can I do?"

"Master, Master, Cao Teng is here, Cao Teng, Cao Cao!!"

"What?!!" He Xiu also jumped up, and quickly asked, "Where is he?"

"It's in the main hall!"

So, an old man and a young man ran into the hall quickly. Cao Teng was still in a daze when he saw the little fat man running in again, accompanied by an old Confucian. He got up to worship, but He Xiu quickly grabbed him and asked, "You have a grandson called Cao Cao?"

Why is everyone asking about my grandson? ?

"but it is!"

"How old is he?"

"The same age as the Shaojunhou, but only eleven"

"Hahaha, that's how it is, that's how it is, that Ling Emperor" He Xiu swallowed his words and paused for a moment. At this moment, he no longer had any doubts about the authenticity of the Heavenly Book, but he couldn't figure it out. Tu'er was smart and courageous, how could he die young and still get the posthumous title of a spirit?

That's not a good word.

"I am the master of Liu Hong." He Xiu was about to introduce himself, but Cao Teng said with a smile: "Mr. Shao used to be the young man, but this old man knows him well. In the past, He Mengxian also met this old man, so he can call him an old friend." He Xiu was stunned when he heard this. He Mengxian was his father, and he had long heard that Cao Teng was different from other eunuchs and had no stain on him.

Many people once attacked him, but when the emperor asked him who could be reused, he even mentioned those who regarded him as an enemy, and said that these upright people are the pillars of the country. Qingming, there are so many eunuchs in the court, Cao Teng is the only one with a good reputation, and it is said that this person has a wide range of friends, as long as he is an official serving in the court, there is no one he does not know.

When I saw it today, it was a well-deserved reputation.

He Xiu turned his head and looked at the little fat man. The two of them looked at each other. Naturally, they were thinking about Cao Cao. The little fat man's eyes were completely confused. At the beginning, He Xiu's heart flashed with murderous intent. It's a big traitor, and even usurped the Han Ding!Cao Teng didn't get a reply from He Xiu, nor was he angry, but just sat quietly.

Forget it, he's just a ten-year-old boy, and he won't be able to make a fortune for the time being. We'd better wait for Hong'er to sit in that seat, and then think about it.

He Xiu let go of his guard, and then talked with Cao Teng. As a member of the scholar-bureaucrat, he naturally harbored malice towards the eunuchs. He also taught Liu Hong to correct his values. Those eunuchs are bad people. If they were to be executed, then the sages in the world would be reused, and the world would be able to rule the world, but Cao Teng had a good reputation. In He Xiu's mind, he was an acceptable eunuch, the one-in-a-thousand kind.

The little fat man also stayed on the sidelines and listened, but he was thinking about all kinds of heavenly scriptures.

After that, He Xiu ordered the little fat man to read some history books in the study, and entertained Cao Teng himself. Liu Hong was young, so Cao Teng didn't think it was a problem, not to mention that He Xiu treated him very well, and he was willing to talk with He Xiu, and the little fat man , but frowning, studying "Historical Records", "Zuo Zhuan", "Spring and Autumn" and so on all day long, He Xiu has rarely taught him rams, and let him study history books most of the time. Do not read history.

In this way, after two days, unexpected troubles approached quietly.

After the scourge of the party's imprisonment began, the entire literati and bureaucrats almost went crazy. The world's famous talents and celebrities were all arrested and imprisoned, while the world's role models are enduring torture in prison!The reputation of the eunuchs, which was originally extremely bad, reached the extreme at this moment, and naturally it was extremely stinky, and these scholar-bureaucrats manipulated public opinion, and the illiterate people also condemned the eunuchs one after another.

Under the anger of the scholar-officials, Liu Zhi also became their target of attack. As scholars, they were neither imperial students nor villagers, so naturally they could not criticize the emperor at will. However, the scholar-bureaucrats also had their own ways of revenge. The private parts of the text spread.

Why did the emperor gather thousands of concubines together, strip off his clothes, and let his favorites have the closest contact with them? Emperor Huan himself stared at bloodshot eyes while drinking, and laughed wildly from time to time.

It is also said that there are countless concubines in Emperor Huan's palace, the number is as high as five or six thousand.

Anyway, all kinds of messages that slander the emperor's reputation and damage the majestic image, Liu Zhi's lack of a descendant, has become the best attack point for the literati and bureaucrats. Having no descendant is the greatest unfilial piety, why not?Because the emperor listened to eunuchs and arrested talented people, God punished him!
In this series of incidents, the most innocent person involved was Xiedu Tinghou Liu Hong, because in everyone's opinion, Dang Gu was Yuan Kai's letter to punish Ting Hou Liu Hong, so he was used by eunuchs and became a catastrophe. Therefore, Liu Hong's reputation among the scholar-officials suddenly became extremely stench. Of course, the scholars of Raoyang County and Boling County, because they were from the same hometown as Liu Hong, did not say that they wanted to condemn Liu Hong.

But in other places, especially in extremely distant places, under the fierce public opinion attack of the aristocratic family, Liu Hong's image has become a domineering and rude villain who molested good families and oppressed the people. No one mentioned his age , and did not mention the original text of Yuan Kuizou's report, but how Liu Hong molested the women of the people, killed his original wife and other things, but it was said in a decent way.

When I can speak and you cannot, I say you are black, you are not white.

　Because the history books are written by the scholar-official class, those who please them, even if they are not very good, are all kinds of great and wise, so there is no need to mention those who offend them.
