Cao Song said these words, threatening and intimidating, in order to make Cao Man pay attention.

"In the future, think twice before doing things. You are ten years old, and you will be eleven soon. A half-grown boy can no longer be as careless as he was when he was a child. Doing things is neither important nor important."

The old hen started chattering again, chanting non-stop, the familiar feeling surrounded Cao Man, making his limbs soaked in the cold gradually warm up, and the feeling of being intimidated by the adults' intrigue quietly receded.

He blinked his eyes, and quickly returned to the state he had when he was with his father before. He pursed his mouth and cried, and the sound of howling baffled Cao Song.

Cao Song felt guilty for a while: This, this... Could it be that the words were too bloody to scare Ah Man?

He was thinking about how to remedy it, but he heard Cao Mo crying and howling: "Father, don't let anything happen to you! Will you be the same as Yan Shiwei in the future? Shan Chao can cut off his tail to survive, and others will in the future." Is this for you? Daddy, you better stop being an official, let’s go back to our hometown in Qiao County to farm the land!"

At the beginning, I squeezed my tears with thunder and rain, but later I started to cry sincerely, venting out the worries and insecurities of the past few days.

Cao Song was in a hurry, comforting and coaxing, knowing that his son had been frightened by his slip of the tongue, and he didn't even think about Cao Man's performance, and his flesh hurt enough: "What I said is to scare you, and the officialdom is not as good as you imagined. Terrible, when you grow up and become an official, you will know the beauty of being an official."

Cao Song spoke incoherently, and didn't know what he was comforting. Seeing that Cao Man was scared by him and wanted to go back to his hometown, he immediately regretted it.

Look at what he said, Ah Man is only ten years old, has a reckless temper, does things inappropriately and ignorantly, and can teach him later, if he has nothing to do to scare the children, if his father finds out, he must not comfort him one by one, and then send him Punish yourself to kneel in the ancestral hall!

Cao Man peeked at Cao Song's sweaty face, sobbed and stopped howling, his eyes covered with small fists showed a sly and smart light, and he had a better understanding of his father who was like an old hen.

It is still unknown who will overcome the father and son!

Cao Man didn't ask Cao Song and Yan who was responsible for the death of the family of guards. He subconsciously guessed that it was Cao Jie who gave their family face and gave his father a certificate of honor.

He is still young and can't figure out the relationship between the various parties in the political power. He only knows that after this incident, the connection between Cao Jie and his father has become closer. He can always see the special Letters haunted Cao Song's house, and sometimes he secretly saw his father shutting himself in the study and burning Bujuan.

So is his father helping the scholars or the eunuchs?Cao Meng's world is simple and simple, with limited knowledge in his head, and all the court games he knows are the "stories" that Cao Teng told at the beginning.

Cao Teng said that eunuchs are like rats, they come from humble and dark backgrounds, and they are the best at playing with secrets. If someone provokes them, the lethality of rats is astonishing!

The scholar-bureaucrats are like proud cats, aiming at the mouse, unable to tolerate the mouse, and are naturally hostile to the mouse.

Foreign relatives are dogs that move when they smell meat. These three forces fight with each other. Sometimes they will unite, and sometimes they will break up. As long as there are interests, they will fight endlessly, and an excellent king can balance the three. The relationship between them maintains a superficial peace.

When Xiao Tengzi faced factional struggles in the imperial court, he assumed the identity of a rat. Not only did he have to face the threat from cats, but he also had to resist the prying eyes of dogs.Occasionally, Tengzi will also cooperate with cats or dogs in order to compete with other mice for territory.

Cao Teng: Allies who used to help themselves will abandon themselves for the sake of interests, and brothers who were originally close friends will turn against each other for the sake of interests.Therefore, interests are the link that connects everyone's actions.

Xiao Tengzi regards the interests of the little prince as his own, thinks what the little prince thinks, and is anxious about what the little prince is anxious about, so he can always stand side by side with the little prince, gain the trust of the little prince, and support each other.It is the little prince's luck to be able to gain the loyalty of Xiao Tengzi, and vice versa. For Xiao Tengzi, is it not his luck to have the trust of the future emperor?

Cao Man thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the intrigues and intrigues in the adult world were terrible. The officialdom was an abyss, and the cannibals did not spit out their bones. The literati hated the officers and soldiers who arrested them. Once the eunuchs failed, his father would be in danger.

Cao Man thought for a while: But if the eunuchs succeeded, wouldn't it be even more messy? !

How could a young child think of so many key points, read so many "Cao Song's stories", Cao Man did not see the joy of being an official, but only saw his father's exhaustion, embarrassment, and cautiousness.

Cao Man accidentally made a noise, which startled Cao Song who was burning Bujuan. He yelled: "Who is it?!" He picked up his sword and came closer to check.

Maybe it's because of his experience in the military position of Captain Sili. When Cao Song had a stern face, he actually had a bit of aura. He drew his sword, and his posture seemed to be standard. Cao Man squatted on the spot and waited for a long time. Cursing his lips, he found more than one loophole in his father in this short period of time. If he was an assassin, he would have been injured long ago with his careless attitude.

Cao Song opened the cabinet and saw that it was his son Xiong, he suddenly relaxed: "What are you doing in my cabinet? How old are you and you still play peek-a-boo?"

Cao Mo didn't answer Cao Song, he suggested eagerly: "Father! Our family has enough foundation, there is no need for you to risk your life to seek an official position, let's go back to Qiao County! Open a few acres of fertile land and become a local rich man. For the rest of my life, I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.”

Cao Song didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slapped Cao Man on the back of the head: "Stinky boy! Talk about unrealistic things. I know more about official affairs than you. Just don't cause trouble for me. Wait for Tai Xue Restart school, you go to school honestly, next time you do reckless things, think about those torture instruments in the prison!"

When Cao Song mentioned state affairs, Cao Man had a flash of inspiration, grabbed him, and shouted eagerly: "Father, I have something very important to tell you!"

He opened his mouth, wanting to tell Cao Song about the eunuchs poisoning His Majesty, but found that he could not make a sound, so he could say something else. Once he wanted to bring up this matter, Cao Man was completely in a state of being "forbidden". state, my heart was filled with fear and doubt, and I hurriedly knocked on the system to ask myself what was wrong.

Cao Song lazily rolled his eyelids: "What is more important than going to school?"

[The story the player reads is obtained from the information collected by the system, and there is a confidentiality agreement. They are not allowed to talk about this matter to the second person, let alone divulge important information. 】

The system indicated that Cao Song could not know such an important matter.

Cao Man suddenly realized that he was so depressed and uncomfortable, the feeling of knowing but not being able to say it made his forehead sweat profusely.

Cao Song probed his forehead: "It's not burning, why are you sweating so much? Are you hot?"

He urged Cao Meng: "Take a shower quickly after sweating. This time you made a mistake and grounded you for a month. Seeing that you are still honest, I will forgive you as a father. Next time if you do it again, I will have to be served by family law, you know?" Know?"

Cao Man couldn't say that the emperor was about to die from poisoning, and soon became sluggish, sitting there dejectedly, like a defeated rooster that fell into the water.

If you don't say it, don't say it, the system is really stingy!

Since Cao Jie took over the affairs, half of the formerly arrested gentlemen of Taixue have returned, and He Yong has also been released. When he came down, he moved He Yongyilang to be the head of the primary school. He only taught students and was not allowed to participate in political discussions.

Before long, all the people who helped Chen Fan and Li Ying were dismissed from their posts pending further investigation, and even the patriarch Dou Wu was demoted to common people. This protracted war of literati and bureaucrats united against the eunuch's power was about to end in a tragic failure , More and more literati joined forces like moths to a flame, trying to wake up the emperor with their own lives.

Once Cao Man started dancing, he couldn't stop. Cao Song was busy outside and kept hiding the political affairs. He gritted his teeth and decided to rely on his own efforts to find out what his father was busy with!

The recent story about Cao Song tells the interesting things he has encountered recently: There is an official in charge of real power named Qiao Xuan, who has been in charge of General Du Liao, guarding the frontier for three years, and has repeatedly made military exploits against the Hulu. Now he has just returned to Luoyang , I heard that former friends and colleagues were slandered and arrested on trumped-up charges, angry!

He kept doing nothing, dropped his official seal, swaggered to the prison and voluntarily surrendered, and asked Cao Song to imprison him.

The eunuchs of the five princes panicked, fearing that they would be questioned by the emperor again, so they released Qiao Xuan and the officials related to him.

"Wow, this General Qiao is so courageous!" Cao Man exclaimed, deeply remembering the appearance of this General Qiao in his heart.

He continued to brush the quests, hard practice always brings rewards, this time, he chose a slightly further story.

In his dream, he saw his father, wearing a majestic official robe, boots, and a sword around his waist, leading a group of people to arrest "party members" in the streets and alleys of Luoyang. The list is searched one by one.

The tense atmosphere made Cao Mo hold his breath, his eyes were fixed on Cao Song's back, and he murmured: "So father also has such a domineering and unreasonable side?"

He never thought that his own father would be as unreasonable as Yan Shiwei, and it was not an exaggeration for the scholars to denounce him as the eunuch's minion.

Cao Song ruthlessly caught one by one, like a cold-faced Shura, making people frightened everywhere he went.

Cao Man watched the audience, the more he watched, the more worried he was about his father's professional ability.

"Oh! Dad is really stupid. He went to arrest people with such a big fanfare, and scared one away in advance!" Cao Man beat his chest and stamped his feet: "He also said that he knows the affairs of the officialdom. With such a working state, he can keep the black hat on his head. Miracle!"

As he was talking, Cao Meng froze himself, a flash of light flashed through his mind, he hesitated and said, "Father...could it be on purpose?"

He heard Cao Song yelling to arrest Li Ying, with exaggerated expressions and false movements, even leading the imperial guards to arrest people with great fanfare, he only had to beat the gongs and drums to shout a few words.

Even so, Cao Song still found his colleague waiting for him in the living room at Li Ying's home. At that moment, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and it was a look of all the painstaking efforts in vain.

Cao Man stared at Cao Song at close range the whole time, and immediately shouted decisively: "My father did it on purpose!"

Why did Cao Song do it on purpose?Wasn't it his job to catch "partisans"?As the adopted son of Da Changqiu "Cao Teng", scholars all said that he had been stamped with the seal of the eunuch lineage long ago, and he couldn't wash it off. Why did he help Li Ying?

Li Ying, that one is the one who is dedicated to overcoming the eunuchs and wants to put them to death!Scholars praised Li Ying and belittled Cao Song, but why did Li Ying treat Cao Song with a pleasant face in the end, and even bluntly said: "I am in a dilemma with Jugao (Cao Song's word), but I can't escape! Otherwise, the scholars in the world will lose their resistance The courage of the eunuchs, I'm sorry, but please arrest me!"

Cao Meng's little brain is not enough. He can see from Li Ying's attitude that he has a good relationship with his father, so which side is his father on?Cao Man couldn't figure it out, the more stories he saw and no one analyzed it for him, the more confused he became.

Fortunately, Taixue started school again, and He Yong, who was promoted to the head of the primary school, asked Cao Man to come to class. With the guidance of this very knowledgeable gentleman, Cao Man finally figured out some things.

Regarding Cao Mo's private question, He Yong stroked his beard and pondered for a while, and explained to him: "Li Ying was recommended by your grandfather before becoming an official."

Cao Man was stunned, tilted his head, and became even more confused: "Grandpa recommended him, and he still wants to kill the eunuch?"

He Yong rubbed the center of his brows: "Auspicious, auspicious, can you accept your curiosity? Whose ten-year-old kid wants to figure out the political struggle? Your priority now is to study hard. These things , When you grow up, you will naturally understand, your father didn't teach you, the more you know, the more dangerous it is?"

"I only know that ignorance will bring danger, and there has never been a reason why wisdom brings danger," Cao Man said. The reason comes from his own opinion. He admits to death, and he has to sit on an equal footing with these adults and ask everything he doesn't know. clearly.

He Yong couldn't help but have a headache. He loves smart students and loves Cao Man more than other children. He is afraid that this piece of rough jade will be worn out. Facing his difficult questioning, he can only say helplessly: "Cao Da Changqiu , is it comparable to ordinary eunuchs? If Wuhou can have half of his wisdom, the big man will not be in such a situation."

Besides, Wuhou eunuch and Cao Teng are hostile!Since His Majesty supported Wuhou to defeat General Liang Yi, the relationship between Cao Teng and Wuhou could not be good.Perhaps it was the worst decision Cao Teng ever made to cooperate with Liang Yi to support His Majesty, and I don't know if his old man would regret his original decision if he knew what happened in the future?

He Yong was inconvenient to mention too many, so he waved his hand immediately and sent Cao Man away.

"Father said to keep half and half, and now even my husband does the same." Cao Man was not happy, puffed up his small mouth in anger, and he was frustrated by the result of returning home.

The terrifying dark clouds are still hovering over Luoyang, and they are still refusing to dissipate. People in the shadows desperately pray for sunshine and hope from the sky, but they usher in further killings...

Celebrities were arrested and killed, and those who were able to leave Luoyang fled here one after another. The righteous and fearless warriors were furious and organized manpower to assassinate and attempt to murder the single eunuch in order to vent their resentment. Revenge!

Cao Song, who worked hard for the emperor's order, went out without looking at the almanac. He was also affected by the assassination of eunuchs. He was cut with a knife in the back, and the blood flowed out like life. Send it back to Cao's family and let the Cao family prepare for Cao Song's funeral.

The stepmother Zou covered her face and wept bitterly, and passed out from crying with grief.

When Cao Man returned home, the house was completely in chaos. As soon as he stepped into the house, the system alarm rang piercingly in his ears, playing it repeatedly!

[Cao Song was hacked, blood volume -50%, continuous blood loss -1-1-1...]
