Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 181: Building Miraculous Achievements, Being Released (7)
Hearing Cao Pi's words, Cao Zhi couldn't help shaking his whole body, and turned his eyes, looking at his elder brother Cao Pi as if looking at a stranger, with deep surprise in his eyes.But Cao Pi didn't dare to face him squarely, and turned his face slightly to avoid his direct gaze.

Cao Cao saw all this in his eyes, but kept his expression on. Finally, he asked Cao Zhang, "Zhang'er, what do you think?"

Cao Zhang looked at him with both eyes, and without blinking, he raised his voice and replied: "I think the third brother is right. Xun Lingjun's contribution to the court is almost the same as that of his father - if he can also be promoted to the throne If he is not willing to be promoted to a noble and a gift, but he is content with his current job and does not ask for a reward, the father will have to wait patiently! The child also hopes that his father can be promoted The ceremony will last forever, but my son hopes that the promotion of his father will convince the people of the world, without saying a word!"

"Hey... Don't you know that treating Mr. Xun Ling for your father can be said to be heart-to-heart, benevolent and righteous? In the past twenty years, there have been 170 memorials written for my father to ask the court to award and reward Mr. Xun Ling! With Mr. Xun Ling's sophistication, Even making him the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and the Lord of the Three Dukes is not enough for the achievement of defeating the enemy in the country and aiding difficulties!" Cao Cao sat up straight, shook his head slightly, and said deeply, "But he has always been humble, He worked so hard and refused to be rewarded! The imperial court treated him very well, and the truth also treated him well. However, he retreated so modestly, the truth was helpless. Forget it! Zhi'er, Zhang'er, you both think that Xun Lingjun should enjoy all kinds of rewards. How about the great honor of the Marquis of Hu and the Duke of the Three Dukes, and I will send you two to the Xun Mansion to persuade him to accept this reward?"

"I obey, my son!" Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang both showed joy on their faces when they heard this.

"Also, both of you told Xun Lingjun by the way, the truth is that you have decided to betroth your younger sister Cao Rong to his eldest son Xun Yun, and our Cao family will become good friends with his Xun family from then on." Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then Wen Sheng said, "I hope you two can live up to the trust of the truth and let Xun Lingjun accept the kindness of the truth. You two go!"

"Perhaps my father rationed sister Rong to brother Xun Yun? That's really great!" Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang cheered happily, bowed and resigned from their father, and they left happily hand in hand.

The moment the two of them stepped out of the gate of Baiyutang, the gentle look on Cao Cao's face suddenly cooled down.He frowned tightly, his face was gloomy and ugly, and he sighed secretly in his heart.Unexpectedly, Xun Yu's influence was so great that even his two sons stood on his side to dissuade him from being the Duke of Jin.Alas, it seems that if I don't remove his stumbling block in front of me, I'm afraid I will never be able to ascend to the position of Duke!However, how easy is it to remove the stumbling block of Xun Yu?Seeing Xun Yu's actions, he himself will never back down.Isn't this forcing yourself to kill the killer?However, as a contemporary Confucian, Xun Yu was also a hero in the fight against chaos, and his reputation is so high that there are few others.Back then, Truth killed a mad Confucian named Kong Rong, and it even aroused menacing words from all over the world, disturbing Truth for several years.If Truth starts attacking Xun Yu again this time, I'm afraid that even Zhi'er and Zhang'er will look sideways at Truth and face each other with anger.What's more, Xun Yu's lofty character, virtue and conduct, his true nature has always been deeply admired - if he really wants to raise the sharp knife in his hand, I'm afraid I can't bear it, and it's hard to make a move, right?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt extremely sad.God, God!Why do you treat me Cao Cao so unfairly?This Central Plains Shenzhou is all based on the truth, the wars in the east and the west are cleared up, and the people in the four directions are all in order to bring peace, but what kind of shitty etiquette and principles have you made Xun Yu leave my Cao family and return to Han Court, so that the truth has to bow down to the mediocre emperor who does nothing!The Liu clan themselves are fatuous and incompetent, causing eunuchs to rule the country, the troubles of the party, the disaster of Dong Zhuo, and the melee in the Central Plains. They are no longer worthy of being the lords of China!It was my own self-defeating and self-defeating efforts to eradicate Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and other rebels who harmed the country and the people, and restored the stability of the Central Plains, and the peace of the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers.So, what can be disputed about the fact that he enjoys the gift of the Duke of the country and the gift of Jiuxi?The truth is really not reconciled!Not reconciled!

"Father...you...what's the matter with you?" Just as his mind was agitated, Cao Pi's panicked voice seemed to float from far, far away, calling him back to reality.

"Oh...Pi'er..." Cao Cao was certain in his heart, he quickly came back to his senses, and immediately became calm as usual.He pondered for a moment, beckoned to Cao Pi, let him come closer, pointed to the tall stack of push watches on the black jade table, and said slowly, "Actually, I don't think that the Duke The ceremonies of nobles and nine tins are precious treasures, and we must get them. The 45 watches presented by the prefects and governors of the 45 prefectures and governors on behalf of the people under the rule are the support and love of the people all over the world. The sincere kindness of the clan! It doesn't matter if you are the Duke or not, as long as you have the sincere hearts of the people, my Cao clan will be invincible.

"Pi'er! Zhi'er and Zhang'er are kind-hearted people who don't know the dangers of the world and the dangers of people's hearts. They are used to following the rules and don't dare to have extraordinary thoughts or act outside the rules. After all, it is because they have too little experience. From now on, As a father, you should pay more attention to teaching them. And you are the eldest son of my Cao family, you are older and have more experience, so what you said today, you can still understand the painstaking efforts of being a father for the great cause of the Cao family I am very relieved for my father! In today's situation, my Cao family is sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat. If you advance, you will have great power. If you retreat, you will lose your power. If you are controlled by others, you will not be able to control others! We can't destroy our own family like Huo Guang, although it is hard to get off, we can only work hard."

"Father said it so earnestly, my child should understand it, and share weal and woe with you." Cao Pi trembled when he heard it, and hurriedly bowed his head and replied respectfully, "My child is willing to do his best to share his worries and problems for his father!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, and shouted outside Bai Yutang: "Come here!"

Cao Hong, the general who was waiting outside the gate of the hall, entered in response, clasped his fists and asked, "Please show me, Prime Minister."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then ordered solemnly: "Go and summon Dr. Dong Zhao and Sima Yi who have been waiting in the front hall to be summoned by the real minister."

Cao Hong bowed his body and left after receiving the order.

Cao Cao pointed to the screen behind him, and said to Cao Pi: "Pi'er, go behind this screen and wait for a while, listen to the truth and discuss with them about the matter of honoring your father as Duke Jin." .Later, as a father, I still want to hear your opinion."

Cao Pi understood that it was his father who was testing how he observed his words and deeds, so he responded respectfully, turned to stand behind the tall screen, and listened to all the noises in front of him.

Sima Yi was manipulated by Cao Cao

"Thump, thump, thump..." A burst of crisp footsteps pierced the silence in Baiyu Hall. Dong Zhao and Sima Yi carefully stepped on the mirror-like floor, walking along a long and narrow corridor formed by layers of yellow curtains. Standing bowed on the left side of the black jade table in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao watched them approaching from a distance quietly, his face sinking like water.He slowly stood up from the red sandalwood couch, bypassed the black jade table, walked slowly in front of Dong Zhao and Sima Yi, stopped suddenly, and said solemnly: "Dr. The real prime minister, the Duke of Jin, added a gift, so how can the real prime minister be worthy of it?"

Dong Zhao knew that Cao Cao was pretending to be humble at this moment to show his integrity, so he hurriedly played solemnly: "The prime minister has great merits, but he always retreats modestly and defends himself, and he will not accept his resignation, which makes the court bear the name of 'treating meritorious officials lightly'. For the sake of the world, the ministers and others jointly recommended Dai to present you as a gift to Duke Jin, in order to highlight the great achievements of the Prime Minister, and inspire the people of the world to admire and follow! Also, the Prime Minister, please obey the sky and do your part."

"Alas..." Cao Cao looked very reluctant, frowned, raised his robe sleeves, stretched out his hand and waved it, then shook his head and said, "No matter how much Dr. Dong and your lords respect the truth, The truth will always be rejected. However, the sincerity of Dr. Dong and your lords is appreciated by the truth. The truth has already drawn up the memorandum in person, and I ask the court to make you Marquis of Qianqiu Pavilion. "

"Thank you, Prime Minister! Thank you, Prime Minister!" Dong Zhao was overjoyed at first when he heard it, but after thinking about it in his heart, he had to calm down and said slowly, "Dong thinks that your memorandum is not appropriate at this time. To the imperial court. As long as the prime minister can think of Dong's loyalty, Dong is very content. Dong has no other thoughts in this life, but to repay the prime minister with all his heart, and wholeheartedly help the prime minister to build the world Albert!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "Dr. Dong said that to avoid suspicion! It's also the truth out of sincerity. I wanted to make you Marquis of Qianqiu Ting, but I was afraid that someone in the court would say something nonsense." The state’s public treasures are given and received privately’. But don’t worry—the title of Marquis of Qianqiuting, if the truth is given to you, it will definitely be given to you. You can take office in about a month or so!”

Dong Zhao hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, thanking him very much.

Sima Yi was listening, and saw that Cao Cao's way of rewarding Dong Zhao was really immediate and impressive.When he was bowing his head and thinking secretly, when he raised his eyes, he realized that Cao Cao had already stood in front of him.

"Sima Zhongda, you are worthy of being the 'holy official' of the truth! Observe the wind and inspect the inspections, agitate the turbid and promote the clean; force and kill the cruel officials, stabilize Nanyang; write a letter, be loyal to the country... the truth also really appreciates you .Just yesterday, your immediate boss, Dong Caoxuan Cui Yan wrote a letter praising you as 'smart and wise, just broke Yingte', recommending you to take over his position." Cao Cao stared quietly at him with an inexplicable smile. Staring at him, the expression on his face was extremely complicated, "However, it was also yesterday that I received several memorials on the desk of the truth, telling you that you are on the way to watch the wind and inspect the various states and counties. With the prefects and governors of various counties, 'connected privately, concealed secrets, and the traces seem to be wrong'... After the truth is verified, you will be severely punished!"

His words were like a series of thunderbolts exploding on Sima Yi's head!Even if Sima Yi was so courageous, his heart couldn't help but jump up violently!He bowed his head slightly, his face turned blue and white, becoming really ugly.
