Chapter 23 Cao Chi teaches

"You must be careful when you are an official in the capital!" Cao Chi repeated this sentence to his nephew, "As for the matter in your hometown, you don't have to worry about it. I have already cleared it up with Wang Ji. In fact, the housekeeper of Huanfu It's a violation of the law to rob people first, but that Huan Shao is still relentless. This kid is steadfast and steadfast, but fortunately Wang Ji is so strong that he insists on suppressing him. If you can find the pair of kabuki sisters It's best for my younger brother to ask the truth, but the strange thing is how could these two sisters run away without a trace?" Cao Chi said here, staring straight at his nephew.

Cao Cao is most afraid of his second uncle who is as careful as a needle.He respects his father, admires his fourth uncle Cao Ding, respects his seventh uncle Cao Yin, and only fears Cao Chi outright.There is a ghost in this matter. Hearing him ask such a question, my heart beats, and I forced myself to say calmly: "Maybe it's a cowardly official! Wang Ji is famous for being cruel, and the Huan family is rich and powerful. Which commoner Aren't you afraid of something like this?" Cao Chi didn't answer, but still stared at Cao Cao, and tried for a long time before saying: "I will never forget your tricks when you were a child, maybe you pretended to have a stroke in front of me again? Maybe that person... you really beat him to death." ! If you beat him to death, Xiahou Miaocai turned himself in and hid the Bian brothers and sisters, then this would make sense."

Cao Cao's heart was about to jump out, and he was about to defend himself, but he heard Cao Chi calmly say: "Forget it, forget it! The matter is over and it will be over. At most, let Miaocai stay in the cell for a few days. Ren'er is now in the county It's still a good meal, and with my care, Wang Ji will not make things difficult for him again." Cao Cao let out a long breath, and then let go of his hanging heart. "The key is in the future! You must be cautious when you are an official in the capital." Cao Chi took a big detour and returned to the original topic, "Luoyang Beibu Lieutenant is just a big sesame official, and no one can afford to provoke him. Let alone you , I am now in charge of the Changshui Camp. On the surface, I am commanding more than 700 soldiers and horses, but I am just a handyman! There are too many important people at the feet of the emperor. I don’t know if I make a mistake, I will lose my hat. Worry!"

"My nephew understands, I only hate that old man Liang Hu didn't ask me to be the Luoyang order." "Stupid boy, you are still in the dark." Cao Chi glanced at him sideways, "You think so... Huh! Don't look at our brothers entrusting so much favors, in fact, we didn't intend to ask you to be a Luoyang magistrate at all. !" "Oh?" "The county magistrate of the number one county in the world is supposed to be the magistrate? Without ten or eight years of experience and connections, who can afford it? Boy! To tell you the truth, it's all because of your unforeseen circumstances that caused this lawsuit. We only wanted a conspicuous official on purpose, otherwise you would have been sent to work in a small county in the border county! We wanted it so, Liang Hu and Sima Fang could deal with it casually because of their face, so they got away with you Stay in the capital." Cao Chi sneered, "I heard that you took Cai Mao to pay homage to Liang Menghuang the day before yesterday, and you were rejected by him. Don't use your brain to think about it, how many eyes are looking at him, how can Liang Hu see you?"

"So it's like this..." Cao Cao was only dissatisfied with Liang Hu, but after hearing what his uncle said, he realized that there was still a reason for it. "In fact, practicing outside is not necessarily a bad thing, and staying in the capital is not necessarily a good thing, but your father insists that you go to the capital, and I can't persuade him... You must be careful when you are an official in the capital!" Cao Chi continued. Repeating this sentence, "You just said that you understand! I think you are still confused! The court has been in a different situation for the past two years."

"What does uncle mean by that?" "What do you mean? Wang Fu is no longer as easy-going as he used to be. Ever since he overthrew King Bohai, he has become a rat crossing the street! The emperor is growing up day by day, and the Empress Dowager Yongle is generally considered upright. How can everything be done?" Still relying on Wang Fu's temperament? Now Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Jian Shuo, Lu Qiang and other eunuchs are all up again, and even Lao Cao Jie has started to wrestle with him. Think about it, his life Can it be better?" "Then father..." "Don't worry! Your father has had nothing to do with Wang Fu and Duan Jiong for more than a year, but I will handle all matters that need to be approached with them, such as your case this time. I will not be able to get involved with you at that time." Dad, at most, I took off my hat, anyway, if I don't get caught in the pot, I still have time to turn around."

Cao Cao lowered his head and smacked the feeling of being in the officialdom, and it took him a long time to think of flattering him, so he apologized and said with a smile: "This is really... I have made uncle and you hard work, and my nephew is ashamed." "How can you learn so well, kid? Isn't it when you peed on my neck when you were a child? Learn! When Ren'er, Hong'er, De'er, and Chun'er grow up, you should also understand One mind like our brothers!" Cao Chiyu said earnestly, "To be honest, Ren'er is not a material for a high official, I think it would be suitable for a military job; De'er is a bookworm who can't get things done. ;Chun'er is still young; for a brat like Hong'er who sees old age at the age of three, he will be lucky not to cause trouble for the family in the future...Only you are still like that. Hey! In the future, the Cao family will still count on you to shine in the family!"

"Uncle praised! If the child can make a fortune in the future, the brothers will naturally not suffer! Brothers in trouble." Cao Cao hurriedly climbed up the vine, grinning. "Don't get so fucking smug!" Cao Chi's face sank and became serious again, "I've made you look good again, haven't I? When I was a child, I forced you to study for your own good, but you still played tricks with me and pretended to be crazy You're being silly again. Didn't your father's discipline be stricter than mine? Have you forgotten all the lessons of the four years? Remember, I will pinch my tail at any time! As long as you behave a little presumptuously, you will get retribution Come along!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement repeatedly, but he didn't know what he was thinking. "There are some things that can't be predicted. A year ago, your fourth uncle wanted the wind and the rain. Who would dare to refuse to say a few words for you? Now that King Bohai's family has been destroyed, Empress Song is even more desperate." Being favored, he is also walking on thin ice, talking like farting, so he can’t help you.” Cao Chi sighed at this point, “Alas... Guangwu Lord was such a hero back then, why is the great Han Jiangshan he worked so hard to restore now? How many eunuchs are going to be in charge!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Chi's expression of emotion, hesitating to speak, and suddenly remembered what Uncle Qi said, that he was a bold, cautious, and clever man in the early years, but now he keeps his mouth shut and tells his descendants to behave with their tails between their legs.It seems that a person's whole life may be like a stone, which is worn away day by day every year, until it loses all its edges and corners, becomes as smooth as a bead, and is only left with a layer of gray and bleak light... "Let's go! Go back and think about what to do in the future, don't live in a muddle. Always remember that you are already an official." Cao Chi waved his hands tirelessly.

Cao Cao said goodbye, turned around, and before he could go out, he heard his uncle's deep voice again: "And... boy! There is a layer of veil that I didn't break for you, but I was afraid that you would be too young to be troublesome, so I have to give you a piece of paper. Wake up. If you want to hide the pair of siblings, you must hide them tightly. If the trick goes wrong and someone catches you, it’s not a joke. Go!" Cao Cao heard clearly when he kicked in and out of the door, and he broke out in a cold sweat before he knew it.
