Chapter 125 The most respected person in this life will never be lost

As an old politician who can "be patient" and "wait" and be good at "greed", there is a person like Cao Cao who has suffered all kinds of blows and setbacks and still does not change his ambition to serve the country.For Cao Song, I don't know whether to be lucky or regretful. Sitting under the lamp, Cao Song was in a daze looking at the white gas that he was exhaling under the lamp, and waited confidently for the sound of Cao Cao's car to return. After a while, there was the sound of a car stopping at the gate, first the sound of the gate opening, and then Cao Cao rushing in.

Cao Cao opened the door of Cao Song's room and told Cao Song that he was rejected. Ding Hui and Zou have prepared ginger soup and bath water for Cao Cao. Cao Song looked at Cao Cao's tired and frustrated face, and comforted Cao Cao: "Go, drink something, eat something, take a hot bath to relieve fatigue, and go to bed later. It's not too late." Cao Cao felt that although he had been away from Luoyang for many years, the slow bureaucratic atmosphere in Luoyang was like Cao Song's face, not only did not become younger because of the national disaster, but gradually aged.

Cao Cao fell asleep, and heard Cao Song's cough, which sounded like a tight cough, accompanied by panting. The younger brother Cao De was thirteen years old. He was very happy to see his elder brother Cao Cao come back suddenly, and he quarreled and refused to go to school. Cao Song stopped drinking: What nonsense, go to school. Cao De obediently carried the bamboo slips and a small cloth bag to school. Cao Cao was suddenly amused, it seems that his father really gave birth to an obedient child. Cao De and Cao Cao waved goodbye, Cao Cao whispered: When you come back, I will take you to play outside the city.

Cao De skipped away happily.Unexpectedly, after clearing his throat, Cao Song spit phlegm into the soft mud under the tree roots, and complained loudly: Don't teach him badly, I still count on him to retire. Cao Cao didn't mind, and said with a smile: I can also give you a pension. Just as Cao Song wiped the phlegm from his mouth with his sleeve, he hurriedly waved his hands: Don't smoke the bottom of my coffin.just you?Who dares to count on you! Cao Cao shrugged helplessly, remembering to ask Cao Song: Who is this great general? Why haven't I heard of it before? Just as Cao Song was about to enter the house, he stopped and didn't look back. He said, "Nanyang is the half-brother of the current empress. He was a butcher before."

Cao Cao frowned, seeing that Cao Song was about to say something, he asked him if he had anything else to say.Cao Song shook his head and left.In fact, Cao Song wanted to say that He Jin was the godson of the palace eunuch Zhao Zhong and the fellow eunuch Guo Sheng, so he is today. Cao Cao reported to the General's Mansion early in the morning. No one was at work in the General's Mansion, and the black lacquered gate was closed, so he had to sit on the wooden threshold and wait. Someone came to open the door. It was Wang Yun, the secretary of the General's Mansion. There was a man sitting on the threshold, which surprised him.Cao Cao reported his identity, saying that he came from Qiao County.

Wang Yun is a native of Qi County, Taiyuan, and the leader of the famous Fenhe Lower School.He is well educated and quite strategic, but unfortunately he has been depressed for the first half of his life.Later, he became an official in Runan, and was the official of the parents of General He Jin's hometown. Because of this, he had to join the family and became a clerk and counselor. Wang Yun shook his head, feeling inconceivable, and nodded in appreciation: "It's really not easy for the noble son of Dasinong. You came from Qiao County, six hundred miles away, before you even got close to him?"

Cao Cao said: I came to report early in the morning, but there was no one here. Wang Yun let Cao Cao into the General's Mansion, saying that the General himself hadn't come yet.We have to wait until there are too many applicants before holding a collective meeting.Let Cao Cao go back to rest first, and he will be notified of important events. Cao Cao resentfully left the General's Mansion and went directly to Qiaoxuan's house. The Qiao Family Courtyard had already been replaced, and the new owner was a family surnamed Tian. His servants said that when Qiao Xuan died, he had no money to carry the coffin back home, so his son Qiao Yu sold the house.According to Qiao Xuanlin's will, the Qiao family didn't even hold the funeral, and the whole family supported Qiao Xuan's coffin and went back to his hometown in the southern suburb of Suiyang, Liang County, for burial.

Qiao Xuan died in 183 AD at the age of seventy-five.Although he has an upright and irritable personality and is known as the "Big Prince of the Bridge", he is modest and realistic, and is kind to deployment.When recommending talents, he never included the heirs of his clan, and he did not deliberately go through the back door for them, so no one in his clan held a high position.Few people outside received Qiao Xuan's favor, so there were few sponsors. Cao Cao felt very sad, he touched the Qingxuan sword at his waist, and pulled out the sword body, as if he saw Qiao Xuan's smile and smile in the past, but now he was a ghost, and he felt tears in his eyes.Remembering that Qiao Xuan said that he wanted him to buy wine and chickens for sacrifice, he went to the wine shop to buy food and wine, came outside the east gate of Luoyang, facing the direction of Qiao Xuan's hometown, put the wine and chicken on the ground, poured the wine on his knees, and silently prayed: Sir, The students bought you your favorite wine and roast chicken. If you are alive, enjoy it.

Cao Cao poured three cups on the ground, then picked up the earthen pot and poured it straight up his neck. Thinking that no one in this world would tell him that "being an official should treat the people as family members", he felt sad. The teacher's kindness will be remembered forever, and the teaching will last forever! If there is an afterlife, I hope I can still be your student and listen to your teachings. After Cao Cao paid homage to Qiao Xuan, he walked into the city in a daze.The mentor lost his faith, worked hard all the way, coupled with grief and depression, Cao Cao finally couldn't bear it.

Cao Cao fell ill, talking nonsense and having a fever. Cao Song looked at Cao Cao in a daze. Apart from his short stature, which resembled his grandfather, he was neither calm and steady like Cao Teng, nor like him forbearing and cautious... No! Cao Song suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that Cao Cao was like his grandfather Cao Teng, very similar!Going to Luoyang overnight this time is the best example.No matter how the court treated him, he was the first to arrive when he was needed. But what about myself?Cao Song sighed. Cao Song's heart disease became more and more serious.After Cao Jie's death, the eunuch Zhang Rang came to power, intending to favor Zhang Wen, who had the same surname.As soon as Cao Song finished transshipping the goods belonging to Cao Jie, Zhang Wen took office as Da Si Nong's mansion.Cao Song was only given half a year to figure out all the accounts and hand them over to Zhang Wen.Cao Song was in trouble because his share would not only fail to be transported, but would also show loopholes.That would be catastrophe.

Why Cao Song is so afraid is not only a reason for corruption.There is also a layer of grievances. Cao Jie snatched Cao Song's position from Zhang Wen back then.Now that Zhang Rang and Zhang Wen have jointly snatched it back, the enemy has made a comeback. I'm afraid it's not as simple as just revenge. Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi. Ever since Cao Song embarked on the road of corruption, it was like living with his head in his hands. Almost every day he would think of a question: When was the house ransacked? Now that Cao Jie has passed away, if a corruption case occurs, he can only bear all the charges.If it is light, the head is in a different place, and if it is serious, it will harm the whole family.
