Chapter 103 Today we finally get to see the figurines

Cao Cao thought it over and over again, and only Cao Jiejie could do it, so he asked Cao Song and Cao Jie about the relationship on the pretext of insinuating.Cao Song was in a hurry to find the volume of "Two Handles". He was afraid that Cao Cao's remarks would be leaked, so he hurriedly took the bamboo slips under his sleeves to Xiahouyuan's house. Why couldn't he find them?Did you lose it when you moved? Cao Cao looked up at the sky, the clouds were hanging low, and it might snow before the year.It happened that there was nothing wrong, so I went to ask Cao Song. The room of Cao Song, who lives in Xiahouyuan's house, is very crowded. There are quilts, clothes, and some toys of his younger brother Cao De on the mat.Cao Cao took off his shoes and came in. Cao Song was looking around with his buttocks pouted, his hair all messed up, like an old servant cleaning up rags.

When Cao Song saw Cao Cao coming in, he straightened his hair and sleeves, coughed twice, put his clothes back on the bed and sat down, asking Cao Cao what he wanted. Cao Cao asked straight to the point: Is the relationship between Eunuch Cao and father unusual? Although Cao Song had ghosts in his heart, he resolutely refused to admit it: what is unusual is nothing special.As far as normal relationship is concerned, the gift of golden mandarin ducks is just because of your grandfather's old love.Asking him to be your host of the crowning ceremony is out of flattery, and I hope he can find a good job for you in the future.

Cao Cao showed the "Two Handles Theory" from his sleeve to Cao Song: Please explain, father, why the son's memorial to the emperor came to your study? Cao Song's head buzzed, it seems that this time he has to admit with reservations that Cao Jie gave it to him.However, Cao Song only asked Cao Jie to pay attention to the letter from Dunqiu because he was afraid that Cao Cao would say something he should not say in the memorial because he bought Cao Jie. Sure enough, Cao Cao got confirmation from Cao Song that it was Cao Jie who took away his memorial. Cao Cao was speechless. It was a memorial written by him after mature thinking and painstaking efforts. He hoped that it would be good for the country. He hoped that the emperor who did not leave the imperial city could understand some things outside. He hoped that it would be beneficial to the people. People take it away and dispose of it like garbage.

His earnest desire to serve the country, waiting and suffering, was killed by the conspiracies of these two old bureaucrats. Is the sky mocking the caring people?Or was he Cao Cao wrong? Cao Song considered that he was still at Xiahou's house, so he couldn't provoke Cao Cao, so he pretended to be calm, and only looked at Cao Cao with his usual eyes to see if the lamp oil was exhausted, and lowered his voice: You are my son, and I did this to protect you.Never tell the whole truth. Cao Cao straightened his neck and was about to speak when Cao Song raised his hand to stop him: This is Miaocai's house.

Cao Cao changed his posture and lowered his voice: If you don't tell the truth, God wants people to be able to speak. Why do you have eyes and ears?Are they all used to listen to lies and see false appearances? Cao Song nodded: You are right.Forget it, Meng De, you are still young, and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future.I…… Cao Cao suppressed his anger, but said in a low voice: If the court has such stupid officials as you, the country will perish sooner or later! Cao Songyang glanced at Cao Cao: It seems that you are immature, this is officialdom.Faint officials at least still have official positions.Like you, you don't even have the qualifications to be an official.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Song angrily: If this is the case, I would rather not be an official! Cao Song was silent, how did Cao Cao's brain grow?Why is it so tiring to communicate with him? Cao Cao poked his finger on the mat: I finally understand why Dr. Qiao has the intention of retiring, why President Cai is willing to live in the rivers and seas even if he doesn’t continue to edit his favorite "Records of the Later Han", and why even a peerless scholar like Zheng "Jingshen" wants to Choose to hide in the suburbs.The morals of the world are clean and peaceful, and the sages are prominent, while the political turmoil and sages are far away.The prosperity of the dynasty is due to the good command of the emperor.The country is unfortunate, and the emperor bears a bad name.As everyone knows, this is the result of the joint action of the monarch and his ministers, and it is definitely not the fault of the emperor!

Although Cao Cao's voice was low, the others listened quietly to the argument between the father and son.To be precise, it is Cao Cao's desperate exposition alone. The angry and desperate Cao Cao was trembling with anger, Cao Song knew that he really hurt Cao Cao's heart this time.Cao Cao could sympathize with the scholars who were banned by the party in Dunqiu a few months ago. How is it different from the "party members" now?It's just that the reasons for being implicated are different, but the result is the same! Cao Song leaned forward.Based on experience, Cao Cao knew that Cao Song had something important to say, so he immediately jumped up, turned around and walked out the door.

Cao Song's words came to his lips, but he didn't swallow them, and no one listened to them. He couldn't hold back, and said to Cao Cao's back that disappeared from the window: Do you know?I will be reinstated years ago. Cao Cao stepped out of the house in the wind and snow and went straight to a place.Dunqiu failed halfway, Shangshu was blocked, and now he is sitting in a row. Even if his future career is hopeless, he still has to say what he should say. Cao Cao came to Cao Jie's house and asked to see Cao Jie. Cao Jie was going to the palace, but suddenly it snowed, and the car had to be covered with waxed leather to make it waterproof, so he had to wait for half an hour.The housekeeper said that Cao Cao asked to see him, and Cao Jie was surprised.

Before Cao Jie waited for the housekeeper to go outside to inform Cao Cao to come in, he thought about three or five reasons why Cao Cao came to him. Was he looking for an official?Ping Difficult?Solve the family housing problem?Thinking of Dunqiu Wanmin petitioning for him, he is still a good official, as long as the request is not too much, he can help him solve it.All in all, in the officialdom, supporting one's peers can only gain immediate benefits, and winning over juniors is the long-term calculation. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Cao Cao walked all the way in.This house is not luxurious, the same color of blue bricks and gray tiles carved wooden windows, especially the exquisite brick carvings are very tasteful.The flower path corridor is designed as if it grows out, which is convenient and suitable.The bamboo and ancient pines that are carefully planted on the rockery and waterside exude the temperament of literati.When he came to the central hall, Cao Cao suddenly saw Cao Jie. He was neither mighty nor slender. Except for his eyes, which were slightly bigger and smaller, he had almost no obvious features.But the eyes are more and more cultivated to look like the supreme officer who controls everything.If it weren't for his clothes, I would have forgotten that he was still a eunuch.

Cao Jie, who was sitting in the north of the middle hall, seemed to be a short man with quick steps. His face full of wisdom and self-confidence was only twenty-four years old, and his beard was obvious, as if he had grown into a young man.If it hadn't been for the notification in advance, I wouldn't be able to immediately confirm that he was Cao Cao who had been in office for three years. He sat down to meet Cao Cao with a smile on his face, but the first thing Cao Cao asked when he came in was: Why did you take my memorial from the emperor? Cao Jie was stunned, almost dumbfounded by Cao Cao's question.

Fortunately, Cao Jie reacted quickly: Did your father tell you? Cao Cao glared at Cao Jie, as if he would never let him go: This matter has nothing to do with my father. It had been a long time since Cao Jie had anyone question him, and he decided in his heart to teach this reckless, ignorant and immature young man a lesson.But his face was extremely calm, and he just smiled lightly: Since you already know, I won't hide it from you... It is indeed I who took it. Cao Cao stared and asked: Why? Cao Jie is merciless: because you are immature and you don't understand anything yet.More importantly, you will ruin you and your father! Cao Cao was angry and pointed at himself: I don't understand anything?Is it like you who monopolize power, deceive the emperor, cut off dissidents, and ignore the suffering of the world? How can Cao Jie, an old eunuch who has experienced in the deep palace, get angry so easily.Besides, he admires young people with ideas, and doesn't like cowards without brains. Cao Jie sat on the warm mat rimmed with brocade, poured tea for himself, and said slowly: I once had the same confusion as you... Unfortunately, the world was not created by me, and it cannot develop as I want.Like everyone else, I am faced with inheritance, whether it is good, bad, unfair or unreasonable, the only thing I can do is to get the greatest achievement at the smallest cost.Inside, there are too many inside stories that you and outsiders can't see... Cao Cao sneered: Inside story?I'm afraid it's a trick. Cao Ji shot Cao Cao with a whoosh, restrained his anger, and continued to speak calmly: Since I can’t explain it clearly to everyone, even if I say it, I can’t get most people’s understanding, so I just don’t say it and let the world evaluate it, it’s fair Feel at ease. Cao Cao is righteous: Since you have so much confusion, why do you want to take away the memorials I wrote for the emperor and the Han Dynasty? Cao Jie suddenly contemptuously laughed: Heh, you made mistakes in the past, your father and I always thought you were still a child, but for you, you can't always use this excuse to escape punishment.If things go on like this, it will become a fatal flaw.You know, don't the so-called memorials you wrote come from the classics of sages?The emperor has learned it and can recite it... You should understand who read those books first. Cao Cao really tasted the taste of failure this time, yes.The entire national library was owned by the emperor, and the emperor didn't have to look through those thick and dusty bamboo slips for any book he wanted. Someone specially sent it according to the listed bibliography.In the past, I thought that the emperor's life would be like that in the legend, only knowing to hang out with the concubines, but now it seems that it is not the case. Cao Cao lowered his head slowly, and Cao Jie gave a smug smile: Man, don't think that the knowledge you have learned can be used in officialdom.You should know that although you graduated from Taixue, it is only the end of your studies in school.Studying in the officialdom is just the beginning for you. For the first time in Cao Cao's life to meet Cao Jie face to face, it was like climbing the Himalayas alone, the more he wanted to climb, the more difficult he felt.Next, what did Cao Jie do to make Cao Cao fall ill?
