Chapter 31 sudden change

The picture of killing Jian with sticks became famous in the capital, and Xu Shaoyao was passed on by passers-by.Cao Cao's official position is very interesting, and there are more and more people who affirm him like Bao Xin.Cao Cao was really proud of himself for a while. During this time, he was like a rising star in the officialdom, shining in everyone's eyes.But he didn't realize at that time that the potential crisis was approaching step by step, not only for him, but also for the entire Cao family. On the day when the bad news came, Cao Cao was doing his best in the yamen as usual.Suddenly, the housekeeper in the mansion came to him and said that Cao Song told him to go home.Cao Cao had been taught by Qiao Xuan himself, so he really didn't dare to leave his post without authorization, but the housekeeper was flustered, expecting it to be a major event, so he had to explain the errand to Lou Yi and Qin Yilu, and went to the city alone to go home.

When he got home, he saw his father sitting alone in the study with a gloomy face in a daze, and he didn't speak when he saw himself coming in. "Father, call your son back in a hurry, what's the matter?" Cao Song was silent for a long time before he said, "Have you written a letter recently?" "Yes, I have!" "Have you ever mentioned Cao Jie's relatives?" Cao Cao said bluntly: "I once wrote a letter to impeach Cao Poshi." Cao Poshi was the younger brother of the eunuch Cao Jie.This man was not only uncultivated, but also greedy and lustful. Because he took a fancy to an officer's wife, he actually forced that officer to death and raped another man's wife.Cao Cao hated such people deeply, so he wrote a letter of impeachment.Because Dad was close to the eunuch and might interfere, he didn't mention this matter at home.

When he saw his father asking him this way, he expected that he must have caused trouble and would be scolded.Unexpectedly, Cao Song was not in a hurry, he just took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and said, "You are willing to tell the truth." Cao Cao took it over and took a look—it was the impeachment form he had repaired! "How is this going?" "Cao Jie handed it to me today." "What a bold eunuch, how dare to withhold the minister's memorial..." After saying this, Cao Cao suddenly realized the horror of this matter.According to the rules, ministers' memorials enter the province, and those who have their own scriptures are in charge. Since Cao Jie can steal it, it means that the entire court's Zhongshu organization is under his control.

"You think it's strange, don't you?" Cao Song's expression looked tired, "But you don't know that my imperial court has always been like this! What is Chao Gang? What is authority? What is Wang Fa? It's just a high-sounding one. It’s just a lie. Whoever has the power owns everything. This is our world. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future! You think you are great, don’t you? Let me ask you, how did you become the Xiaolian? How did you get out of the lawsuit and become a county lieutenant? How did you kill Jian Shuo’s uncle without being retaliated against?" Cao Song didn’t mean to be angry at all when he said these words, but with tiredness and scorn.

Such a tone was more severe than a severe reprimand, Cao Cao felt as if he had been stripped clean and thrown into the street.He had to admit that everything he had was given by his father, and everything his father had was given by the eunuch.In the final analysis, the reason why he became an official, became an official, and became famous was not because of himself, but because of the support and protection of the eunuch, and because his father begged for mercy from Wang Fu and Cao Jie like a dog! "You're amazing... you're amazing..." Cao Song continued to sarcastically, "You are a loyal and upright official in the eyes of Luoyang people! What about me? I'm just a notorious flatterer, right? Hahaha... ...Hahaha..." He smiled, and suddenly slapped the desk and roared, "But do you know? How much money did your father give Wang Fu in order to raise you as Xiaolian? How many good things did you say? Who are you? Xiaolian? Have you ever been filial to me? You beat Jian Shuo’s uncle to death, and I had to apologize to others, and stand there like a slave to be scolded! You foolishly go begging for Prime Minister Xu! How can I be sorry for you?"

These words were like sharp knives, piercing Cao Cao's heart: "Daddy, I..." "Your wings are stiff, aren't you?" Cao Song didn't give him a chance to speak, "You think you don't need me anymore, do you? Isn't it? Ah? Hahaha...hahaha...good son! You are so kind! You are promising! Cao Jie praised you when he handed this seal to me today! Really...he said that he was extremely tall Ah, your son is really promising! Being such a small county lieutenant is really a waste of talent, let him go outside for a few years of experience! How wonderful, go outside for a few years of experience... Do you know that you asked him to be kicked out of the capital? Go outside and dream of being an upright official! But let me tell you, if I hadn’t done so many things for him, if I hadn’t sent him cartloads of money, you would have been killed by others. Lah! I lost my father in my early years and my wife in my middle age. If you die again, I will be completely mixed up with the three misfortunes! Are you worthy of me?"

"Daddy, my son has never done anything wrong to you!" Cao Cao choked up. "No? Hahaha... Let me ask you, how did He Boqiu escape from Luoyang?" When Cao Cao heard this, it was like five thunderbolts!He knew everything about such a secret. "Do you think I'm blind? Qiao Xuan disguised him as a servant, and you were the one who escorted him all the way to Peiguo! Right? Talk to me! Isn't that sorry for me? It's not enough for you to risk yourself, you have to drag him Your brother, let the entire Cao family follow you to take the risk!" Cao Song grabbed the scroll of bamboo slips and hit him hard on the head, "You have been in your hometown for four years, and you haven't made any progress at all! Stupid art of war, what else do you excel at? Get out! Get out! Go to another place to be your upright official! Go to another place to live your dream of admonishing ministers!"

"Daddy, I..." "Get out!" "I really……" "Get lost!" Cao Song shouted hysterically. Cao Cao had no choice but to stand up and exit the door. "You go to your spring and autumn dream." Cao Song sneered again, "but I tell you, the good days won't be too long. News came from the palace today that He Guiren gave birth to a prince, and Empress Song will soon be childless. Being abolished, our Cao family’s officials are about to end! You go, be happy and go happy!” After saying that, he closed the door and ignored his son again. Cao Cao thought for a long time in a daze. What he thought of was kneeling as a punishment, which was the punishment method his father used when he was a child.He knelt, and knelt seriously in the yard. Perhaps this was the first time in his life that he seriously reflected on himself... However, the door of his father's room was never opened again.He knelt until it was getting late, then returned to the yamen helplessly, led his soldiers to patrol the streets, and wandered around sleeplessly all night.

Sure enough, the eunuch who passed the edict arrived early the next morning.The imperial edict clearly stated that due to the recommendation of eunuchs such as Cao Jie and Jian Shuo, the emperor appointed Cao Cao, a lieutenant in northern Luoyang, and transferred him to Dunqiu County, Yanzhou as a county lieutenant, and ordered him to leave Beijing the next day. It is really new that the emperor personally issued an edict to transfer.However, through what his father said yesterday, Cao Cao already understood that this was the evil door of eunuchs like Cao Jie and Jian Shuo.On the surface, it was praised by the emperor, but in fact it was revenge for killing Jiantu and impeaching Cao Poshi.It is said that he was transferred from the capital, and he did not know when he would be able to return. Maybe the emperor would forget about it in two days, and he would have to wander outside for the rest of his life. Such an edict is really regrettable.After Cao Cao received the edict, he lay on the couch in a daze.

He was waiting, waiting for things to turn around, waiting for his father and two uncles to turn things around.He is sure that his luck has always been good, and he will definitely wait for the second edict this time.He waited and waited... for a whole day, until it was dark again, convinced that nothing could change.The Cao family was no longer as popular as before, so he got up in a daze and began to prepare his luggage.But looking at the house full of messy belongings, Cao Cao felt more and more bored the more he tidied up, threw away the things and shouted: "Yilu! Come and get some things, I'm going out to drink!"

"Master County Magistrate! It's getting dark, why don't you go out?" Qin Yilu said while putting on clothes for Cao Cao. "Old boy, you're quick to change your mouth. I haven't taken office yet!" "Sooner or later! As the saying goes, people move to live, and trees move to die. When you arrive at Dunqiu, do a good job for two years, and come back again! We will all follow you." Qin Yilu said with a smile on his face. . "Go! What do you know!" Cao Cao gave him a hard look, "I asked the eunuch to send it out!" "Don't say that, there are too many county lieutenants in the world, and how many emperors personally issued an edict to reassign? This alone, you can brag about half a year after you take office!" "You have the ability to talk!" Cao Cao laughed when he was disturbed like this, "I'll go out first, take advantage of this time, you pack up my things for me, and this will be someone else's office from tomorrow. Daddy I'm angry, I have to go home to stay tonight no matter what, and coax my dad well. If I come back late, you can take your things and go to the mansion first." After saying that, he went out and got on the horse, only taking Lou Yidi with him. Beixian Wei Yamen. It was cold in the winter moon, and the bitter cold wind blew on the face like a small knife cutting flesh, and waves of sadness and chill hit my heart: I think this is really a sad winter. First, Yuan Shaofang became the head of Puyang and his mother died of illness. I had to thank Ren for the funeral; then Xu You was expelled from the school by Qiao Xuan and left without saying goodbye; then Lou Gui also left the capital; own up.Cao Cao didn't dare to think about it any more, for fear of arousing sadness, he tightened his clothes and rode out of the city to look for Bao Xin...
