Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Kong Rong is a famous man in the world and a sage after Confucius. He was also influenced by Confucian culture when he was a child. Although he made an unfilial statement "Parents are ungrateful", Cao Chong still believes that he did not do such indecent means of poisoning.

On this point, Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong had the same idea.

Before cutting off Hu Kongrong, Zhou Buyi and Cao Chong had talked. At that time, Zhou Buyi suggested that Kong Rong would not be the one who poisoned him.

If Kong Rong was a villain who was good at making intrigues, he wouldn't have confronted Cao Cao in the courtroom, or directly insulted Cao Cao in public places.

Even on the opening day of Haidilao, Kong Rong opposed Cao Cao's order to seek talents in front of everyone.

All the signs proved that Kong Rong was an upright and generous person.

Such a shameful thing as poisoning doesn't fit Kong Rong's background and personality at all.

Cao Chong agreed with Zhou Buyi's idea, and asked Zhou Buyi to investigate who would wrong Kong Rong.

As for Cao Chong himself, he chatted with Kong Rong in person.

In the official history, it was this year that Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao in the name of unfilial piety, and this famous man in the world ended his glorious life from then on.

Only the story of Rangli is left to future generations.

Kong Rong was very talented, and he was one of the seven sons of Jian'an. It's a pity that such a great Confucianism died like this.

In addition to running hospitals, Cao Chong also wanted to run education, and Kong Rong became his goal.

But it is not easy to subdue Kong Rong.

Perhaps, this moment is an opportunity.

"Master Kong, you don't know the style of doing things that are full of pets. If you are caught by him, even if you didn't poison me, you will be made a fact by him."

"If you want to get rid of your crimes, you can only cooperate with me, and together we can guess who is really behind the scenes."

Kong Rong was astonished, staring at Cao Chong, "Why do you help me?"

Since Cao Cao welcomed the emperor and moved the capital to Xuchang, Kong Rong has been fighting against Cao Cao, and even regarded Cao Cao as the second Dong Zhuo.

In the entire Xu capital city, everyone knew about the tense relationship between Kong Rong and Cao Cao.

Now Cao Cao's youngest son stepped forward to help Kong Rong.

It is strange that Kong Rong is not surprised.

Cao Chong didn't answer in a hurry, but calmly added a piece of pork belly to Kong Rong, put it in a bowl, and poured another glass of beer, "Master Kong, don't panic, let's chat while eating, the night is very long. "

Kong Rong heard that Cao Chong had a lot to say, and he wanted to tell himself that it was already here anyway, so he might as well eat something to warm himself up.

"In that case, the old man will not be polite."

Young master is waiting for you, you are welcome.

As long as you eat something, it shows that you have the willingness to cooperate.

"To be honest, I still admire Master Kong very much. No one in the court dares to oppose my father, but Master Kong dares to stand up and accuse my father."

"The Han Dynasty was in decline, Master Kong didn't vote for the powerful ruler, and he devoted himself to protecting the Han Dynasty and sharing the worries for the emperor. This kind of loyalty and courage, the younger generation admires it from the bottom of their hearts, and it is also what the younger generation needs to learn from Master Kong."

Don't say anything, just flatter your ass at the beginning, and then talk about business later.

Kong Rong was caught off guard by Cao Chong's words. He never expected that these words would come from Cao Cao's son.

Children can be taught.

"The young master is so knowledgeable, the old man also admires it."

Sure enough, I was hooked.

Cao Chong smiled at the corner of his mouth, he was almost flattered, so let's get to the point.

"Since I can remember, I have seen years of wars and displacement of the people. In fact, the younger generation, like Master Kong, has a heart of serving the country. It's just that the younger generation is too young to be able to take charge of it alone. It still needs to learn from Master Kong."

Kong Rong was completely intoxicated by Cao Chong's words, and said with a smile: "Young master, what are you talking about? A man's ambition is everywhere. As long as the young master is dedicated to serving the country, he will be a pillar of the country sooner or later."

"The old man believes that the merits of the young master must surpass that of Prime Minister Cao."

After the mutual praise in business, Cao Chong went on to the next step, "The younger generation admires Mr. Kong's dedication to serve the country, but today the black poison made a fuss. With my father's style, I am afraid that Mr. Kong will die soon."

"Master Kong has promoted unfilial remarks before, but I am a big man who rules the world with filial piety. I am afraid that my father will execute Lord Kong for the crime of unfilial piety. How will Master Kong serve the country then?"

Kong Rong was taken aback. He had worked with Cao Cao for many years, so he naturally knew Cao Cao's style of work.

Cao Chong is Cao Cao's most beloved son, but he was poisoned when Cao Cao went out to train soldiers. Now all the evidence points to him. With Cao Cao's methods, he really knows how to use himself.

What's more, I don't want to see Cao Cao at all, this is also Cao Cao's best chance to get rid of him.

"Young master, do you really want to help me?" Kong Rong asked tentatively.

Cao Chong nodded, and continued: "You and I both have the heart to serve the country. If Mr. Kong is gone, wouldn't the big man lose a pillar of talent."

Different people have to say different things.

Kong Rong is devoted to the Han Dynasty, so if it is for the sake of the Han Dynasty, Kong Rong will definitely get on the bandit ship, and Kong Rong can also be used by me at that time.

Xiang Zhou didn't doubt that kind of person, so he didn't need to talk about the Han family, just talk about the future.

Sure enough, Kong Rong was immediately fooled, "It's rare that the young master has the heart to serve the country. In this case, the old man is willing to cooperate with the young master."

This fish finally took the bait.

Cao Chong opened his mouth and said: "On the night when my accident happened, someone saw Mr. Kong went to the prime minister's mansion and met Mrs. Bian. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Kong Rong did not refute, but turned his eyebrows into Chuanzi, "It is true, but after all, the old man is also very puzzled, why Mrs. Bian asked the old man to go to the house to look for her, and what's more, the young master was poisoned that night. gone."

Oh?
And this thing?

Cao Chong suddenly smelled a conspiracy.

"Why did Madam Bian seek you?"

Kong Rong shook his head, "I just chatted with the parents, and said that after my son grows up, the two families will make a baby marriage, but I refused."

"Didn't talk about anything else?" Cao Chong felt more and more strange.

"Nothing else to talk about."

Strange thing, Mrs. Bian never had contact with high officials in the court, but she suddenly asked Kong Rong to chat at the mansion, and she wanted to make a baby marriage, which is really abnormal.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. It can't be that simple for Mrs. Bian to find Kong Rong.

"Did Mrs. Bian act abnormally at that time?"

Kong Rong thought for a while, "Not really."

Impossible, there must be.

"You're thinking about it." Cao Chong continued.

Kong Rong racked his brains and thought, "By the way, Mrs. Bian is not unusual, but the scholar I brought with me is doing something."

Scholar?

Could it be the scholar who died?

"What's abnormal about him?" Cao Chong realized that the case had reached a critical moment.

"That night, not long after the old man arrived at the prime minister's mansion, the scholar said he was unwell and needed to go to the latrine. The old man didn't think much about it, so he let him go."

Sure enough, the scholar had a problem.
