If you don't wear women's clothes, the big man will die!

Cao Mo is fighting day and night on the front line of upholding justice for the people, and the people in the northern area of ​​Luoyang ushered in spring.

Whoever's house has been invaded, and if they get the evidence and file a complaint with the Gaobei Yamen, the case will be accepted soon.

Whose daughter was taken away, and she reported to the northern yamen, and officers and soldiers went to rescue her immediately.

In this way, Cao concealed everything by himself, with endless enthusiasm, not to mention being busy with the existing lawsuits, but also going through the inventory to find old cases, and to be a master of Qingtian who reversed the old cases!

When Guo Jia arrived, he saw Cao Man sitting cross-legged in a dusty warehouse, surrounded by mountains of bamboo slips. If you want to come in, you need to carefully consider where your footsteps fall to prevent the bamboo slips from being knocked over. Even the passages that can be walked need to be cleared out while walking.

With a writing brush hanging from his ear and two stacks of bamboo slips in his hand, Cao Mo murmured, "The encroachment on a private house that is nearly [-] acres of land is a big case! During the reign of the first emperor, no one has come to sue even though it was delayed until now."

"A person who can do such a thing, the status is not low, and the people who protect him are not low. It's not that no one comes to sue, but they dare not sue, or maybe the sufferer has been killed and silenced," Guo Jia said. Moving the stacked bamboo slips back and forth, he crossed the obstacle panting, walked to Cao Man, bent down and picked up the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his hand and said: "You should stop, Man, the group of people in the north have already To the extreme of patience, too much, they will jump over the wall."

"Does the dog jump over the wall in a hurry? Let them come, no matter if they send someone to smash me here, or send an assassin to assassinate me, I am not afraid of any of them!" Reckless?

Guo Jia observed secretly, thoughtful: "Your father is in Dasinong, one of the most insecure officials in the Nine Ministers, and many people are staring at his position. Even if you don't think about yourself, you still need to think about it. Father think about it."

Guo Jia doesn't think that Cao Man is a reckless man with nothing but muscles and no brains. He is obviously very smart and can see through everything, even his subtle hints. Why does such a person pretend to be confused and mess himself up? So hard-edged?

Who is supporting him? Did he rush to the cusp of the storm on purpose?

Guo Jia has an insight into the situation, and his foresight is not low. Since he observed Cao Man these days, whether it is trying cases, balancing public grievances, and appeasing the people, Cao Man's skill and wisdom are as skilled as a veteran in the officialdom.

What is completely different from his wit is his upright temperament, standing there with a straight and straight spine, and he is not afraid of being smashed by someone and falling into the quagmire?

So who is his backing?

San Gong?

"No matter who your confidence is," Guo Jia said, "If you continue to investigate, let alone Sangong, even the emperor may not be able to protect you. This case involves too much, and it will affect the whole body. You If you insist on continuing, it is easy for you to lose your official position, and it is possible to cause the whole family to lose their lives."

Hearing this, Cao Man didn't let go of his frown. He stretched out his hand to hook the bamboo slip in Guo Jia's hand. Guo Jia raised his hand and raised the bamboo slip high, making it impossible for him to get it.

Cao Man stood up, stretched out his hand again, and Guo Jia stood on tiptoe, even if he hopped around in a hurry, he couldn't catch the raised bamboo slip.

"Bastard, Guo Fengxiao, return the bamboo slips to me!"

How tall is he?Because of his height, his bamboo slips could be confiscated?

Guo Jia shook his head: "If you don't give it, I won't give it. I am your master now. Before you make a bigger mistake, I persuaded you to rein in the precipice to protect myself from being implicated. Wake up, the future will last forever, and use it!" Do you have to rush to poke a hole in the sky?"

Cao Man stomped his feet in anger!Using his inner strength, he jumped up like a monkey, grabbed the bamboo slip and held it in his arms. Relying on his flexible posture, he ran to the open space three feet away from Guo Jia.

Guo Jia only felt that the little dwarf Cao Man was behind him in a blink of an eye. His eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest, "Have you ever learned martial arts from a knight-errant?"

Cao Man was complacent and wanted to show off his good lightness kung fu, but he heard a loud noise outside, and it seemed that someone had come to smash the gate of the Northern Yamen Mansion.

Cao Mo hurried over, only to see that there were dozens of people in that pair, each wearing a sword, and they were still regular Huangmen Forbidden Army!

The leader spoke nonsense: "Cao Jili, keep a line in your life. I really want to see you in the future. If you want to force us to death today, we don't have to give you a way out. I am the adopted son of Marquis Zhang Rang. This is Song Qi, the younger brother of the empress. You It is also a character, who can make the eunuch's son join forces with the emperor's relatives, even if he is defeated, it is not shameful to say it, come here, smash this northern yamen for me!"

Cao Mo shouted sharply: "I see who dares to smash, if you dare to smash, I dare to arrest you and sentence you to death!"

"Capital crime? We brought nearly a hundred people. You, number ten, dare to punish us with capital punishment? I'm the queen's younger brother. What kind of thing are you? Come here and smash it hard. I'll be the one to blame if something goes wrong!" Song Qi laughed arrogantly, and recruited a group of thugs, rushed to the yamen court, broke Cao Mo's five-color sticks, smashed the court books, and destroyed everything inside!

The people panicked and hid in the distance, whispering and pointing, and many sufferers cried out in grief.

The most painful thing is to have hope first, and then experience despair. These ordinary people cannot help the northern yamen. Half a year ago, they watched it being smashed, and half a year later, they experienced the same thing again.

With a flash in front of Guo Jia's eyes, he saw the enraged Cao Man grabbing his weapon and rushing into the crowd, fighting with the group of smashers.

"Quickly, go and rescue the soldiers! If something happens to the Beibu Lieutenant, you will also bear the blame!"

Guo Jiasheng was afraid that Cao Song would be injured by those menacing people, so he immediately asked the officials around him to go to Cao Song to rescue the soldiers.

People can't speak half of what they say, especially the brain circuits of officials are different from Cao Man's, and they can't understand what Guo Jia said. With a formal official hat, Yuan Shu shouted: "Ah, let me help you!"

A group of people fought together and started a group fight.

Yuan Shu still felt that the people he had brought were not enough, so he recruited Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao and other people who had a good relationship, but everyone who had manpower rushed over, and he had the strength to contribute, but was unable to give ideas.

I don't know who pulled out the knife first, from gang fights to bloody incidents, the entire northern yamen has become a battlefield for this group of people!

The common people kept exclaiming, one by one moved further away from the ground, stretched their necks to see the unprecedented melee in the northern yamen, they couldn't help feeling a surge of hope in their hearts: maybe, the northern lieutenant who came this time is not young, he can really Save them!

The result of this scuffle is also obvious. Cao concealed his strength and rushed to the battle, and other people sent people to help out. It didn't take long for all the people who came to smash the scene to be captured. Two thugs died on the spot. 70 people were seriously injured, Zhang Rang's son was stabbed to death by Cao Man's sword, and Song Qi was seriously injured after being hit on the head.

When the situation developed like this, Guo Jia was stupefied and hid in a corner doubting his life.

sky!This group of Tai students who graduated at the same time are really vigorous!

When everything was settled, Cao Man beamed with joy, and bumped fists with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other students of the same period: "Thank you for your generous help today!"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly: "It should be, it should be, it's all for the sake of maintaining law and order in the capital, it would not be an exaggeration to send troops to detain them even if someone dared to openly smash the yamen."

When Yuan Shao heard that Empress Song's younger brother was also injured, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and persuaded Cao to hide it: "Those thugs will arrest them as soon as they are arrested. This Song Qi has a different status. It is better to hire a doctor for him."

"Breaking and smashing the yamen is considered a capital crime, and you will die anyway, so why should you hire a doctor?"

Cao Man shook his head and rejected Yuan Shao's suggestion, and greeted the big guys: "It is thanks to everyone's help today that this chaos can be quelled, why not let me be the host, and invite everyone to meet at Luoyang Restaurant tomorrow!"

Cao Mo comforted the people who came to help him, and stayed to deal with the follow-up matters.

He put all the people who came to smash into prison, didn't hire a doctor for them, and then forced a confession who was the mastermind behind that group of people?

This crowd fight shocked the whole Luoyang!

The scholar-bureaucrat who supported Cao Man before was dumb, and whispered: "This Cao Jili is even more daring than Qiao Xuan back then."

"This, he gathered a group of college students of the same class, will he be regarded as a 'partisan'?"

"This time it really broke the sky."

"When gods fight, mortals suffer. This Cao Jili is also a god!"

When the scholar-bureaucrats chose to be wise and protect their lives and did not plan to lie in this muddy water, Qiao Xuan still tried his best to help Cao hide, and even made a performance at the court, proclaiming the sins of Zhang Rang's son and Song Empress' younger brother.

Qiao Xuan said forcefully: "Your Majesty, I think that Song Qi should be punished with death. Occupying the good land has violated the law, but he still commits crimes knowingly and taking advantage of his status as a relative of the emperor. He should be executed according to the law, so as to serve as an example to others!"

Most of the opponents were relatives of the emperor, and after Qiao Xuan's fire was fueled, those people were already furious.

"Cao Jili's actions in the north are all wrong! He abused his power, acted as a minion, misunderstood the royal family, killed relatives, murdered people as soon as he took office, and issued harsh and unrealistic laws, Your Majesty. Cao Jili's crime should be punished, and he should be dismissed and investigated!"

Above the court, there was a lot of quarrel because the battle in the north of Luoyang involved a lot.

Taiwei Yuan Feng, one of the three princes, had to stand up on the same front as Qiao Xuan because his two sons participated in the battle and helped Cao Man.

The royal relatives and relatives saw that two of the three princes helped Cao to hide the truth, and more than half of the officials in the nine ministers had good friends with Cao Song. "Partisan" is a faction! A student who has just graduated can gather so many students from the same class to help him, and in time he will become the new "Party leader". If His Majesty does not punish him severely, he will become a threat to His Majesty in the future!"

The literati and bureaucrats were fine after hearing that, but someone actually offended their sensitive nerves, and dragged all the freshly graduated imperial students into the water in the unprecedentedly tense court under the party's control!

Those Tai students will be part of them in the future, and they will be allies!

More and more people stand up to defend Cao Mo. They are not for Cao Mo, but for the honor of the whole class. Almost [-]% of the officials present are graduated from Taixue. Whoever dares to touch Taixue will be the leader of the entire court enemy.

After the court meeting ended, Liu Hong returned to the bedroom with a gloomy face, and his whole body was chilled. Surrounded by the low pressure of rage, the emperor's anger was burning, and the surrounding eunuchs and maids were silent.

Liu Hong repelled everyone and left Cao Jie to talk to him alone.

Cao Jie asked cautiously: "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with Ah Man?" He was looking at Liu Hong's face, observing his expression, trying to get information from it.

Cao Man, who had a good relationship in the past, is now gaining popularity, and he is about to become one of the "party members". He was able to order the students of the same class to help him, and even more than [-]% of the three princes and nine ministers supported him.

It is dangerous for Cao to offend the most sensitive nerve of the emperor.

At this time, everyone is prosperous, and everyone is hurt. How many benefits he has gained by relying on Cao Man, he will spit it all out when Cao Man loses Liu Hong's trust.At this time, he must show his heart and restore the emperor's trust.

Cao Jie knelt down and respectfully said: "Your Majesty calm down, Cao Mo did this because His Majesty placed high hopes on him. Whether he is a 'partisan' or not, Your Majesty knows better than the courtiers. He dares to do this, isn't it? There are other people's protection, but because His Majesty is backing him!"

Liu Hong was furious and smashed the inkstone, which fell beside Cao Jie, smashing his heart to the ground and beating wildly.

"Why do they pull Ah Man into their team? Why do they compete with me to grab Ah Man, Ah Man is my man!"

Liu Hong angrily reprimanded the courtiers for their whimsical ideas, and slapped the desk on the ground.

"Yuan Feng and Qiao Xuan are trying to give favors to Ah Man. It's a good idea. I am Ah Man's backer. They are on their own!"

Cao Jie's expression was blank for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and his expression suddenly became complicated.

It turned out that Cao Mo was not angry because he might become a party member, but because someone wanted to rob him?

Cao Jie's mood suddenly became more subtle. He raised his eyes to look at the angry emperor, but saw Liu Hong was walking back and forth on the spot with his hands folded, and finally stopped, his anger gradually subsided. Come back and let him be the emperor's close minister by my side!"

Cao Jie hurriedly lowered his head to hide the twitching corners of his mouth, and he replied to the emperor in a warm voice: "But with Ah Mo's temperament, I'm afraid he is in full swing! Will he be willing to just be promoted like this?"

Liu Hong pursed his lips tightly and his chest heaved. Cao Jie guessed that he was hesitating.

At this time, a notification came from outside: "Your Majesty, the constant attendants Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are here to see you."

Liu Hongxuan and the others entered the palace. As soon as the two eunuchs entered the palace, they saw Cao Jie bowed his head and knelt in front of the emperor, as if admitting his mistake, the light in his eyes flashed away, and they all stepped forward to pay respects to the emperor.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong came together for nothing else but to hide the matter from Wei Cao in the north of Luoyang who had fallen out of the sky in the previous dynasty.

Zhang Rang first sold his misery and complained, and said sadly: "The servant is a eunuch, but a person without roots. It is not easy to have a godson who can take care of the servant and die in the future, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing. So Cao concealed it. Instigated by someone, he wanted to overthrow the northern part of Luoyang! He even made his own laws, and he really became the emperor of the northern part of Luoyang!"

When Zhang Rang complained, Liu Hong remained expressionless the whole time, and he could even ask calmly, "What is Zhao Zhong here for?"

Zhao Zhong then knelt down to worship the emperor and said: "Cao Jili, the imperial student, has a growing reputation. Now the situation in the court is severe. How many people speak for him shows that he has many followers and has become a "partisan". It's not good for His Majesty! In the past, there was Dou Wu, but today there is Cao Jili, and I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to arrest the 'partisans', and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!"

During the period when the eunuchs of the five princes were in power, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were still young eunuchs and could not get close to the emperor.After Liu Hong inherited the Datong, they were gradually appointed.Cao Jie used to monopolize the power, holding everything in the palm of his hand, but he violated the taboo of the emperor when he didn't want to, so he hurriedly threw out some of the power in his hand to show his loyalty.That part of the authority fell into the hands of these two people, fattening their ambitions.

The eunuchs are one body in the eyes of other literati. People say that Cao Jie colluded with Zhang Rang and others, but it is not the case. The battle between eunuchs is even darker than the battle in the harem. Today they are allies, and tomorrow they will be stabbed , Tomorrow will be reconciled as before, everything is for profit.Cao Jie occupied too many resources, stood in front of all the eunuchs, how many eunuchs blocked his way, and how many people tried to pull him down, he knew it himself, and the emperor knew it too.

Don't think that Liu Hong is a foolish emperor. He is already 20 years old. Maybe because of his background, he doesn't have so much moral bottom line, and he doesn't have the sense of responsibility as an emperor. But it cannot be denied that as long as he shifts his mind from playing to In terms of government affairs, his intelligence is enough to allow him to see right and wrong between eunuchs and courtiers.

He was just too lazy to care, and just watched with cold eyes.

The emperor's selfishness has always been only about himself, what about other people, what about the empire, has nothing to do with him.

Even the people in this world, the country and the country, are things that can be played with, as long as no one cares about the position under his buttocks, as long as the emperor's position is stable, regardless of the flood outside, it is enough for him to be comfortable.

It was Cao Jie who saw through Liu Hong's indifferent and selfish temperament that he was able to protect himself wisely until now. He understood what was really important to the emperor.

As early as after he became the emperor, he would never give up all his true feelings to anyone. Now the only ones who can occupy some place in his heart are the Empress Dowager Dong, who raised him when he was in his infancy, and the empress dowager who accompanied him. The companion Cao Man who went through the most difficult time of schooling.

Even Cao Jie is just a chess piece that he can use conveniently.

After Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong finished talking, the audience was silent. The emperor was silent for a moment, and suddenly said lightly: "You are the eunuchs of the harem, and the affairs of the previous court have nothing to do with you. Don't stretch your hands too long, and be careful not to break them halfway. Since you have worked hard for many years, I will spare your lives. The position of Zhongchang attendant is not suitable for you. However, the eunuchs who sweep the latrines in Yeting have no one to take charge, so the two of you will be in charge, one to manage the latrines, and the other Manage the laundry!"

After the emperor finished speaking, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhongru raised their heads in disbelief after being struck by lightning.

"His Majesty?!"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! What did this servant do wrong, please tell Your Majesty clearly!"

"The servant didn't intend to offend Shengyan, Your Majesty is merciful, please spare the servant this time!"

Liu Hong waved his hands impatiently, and sternly said: "Stop being an eyesore, get out of here!"

The emperor's anger was still there, but the two of them leaned forward without winking, it was really a turn of events.

Cao Jie watched with cold eyes, the power that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong swallowed before was back in his hands again, and his mood was subtly joyful.

He has the real gold medal for avoiding death. As long as this golden signboard does not fall, no one will be able to shake his position as the number one official!

Liu Hong vented his anger for a while, and he really felt better. He always said what he said, and immediately ordered: "Move Wei Caoman to the north of Luoyang as the servant of the Huangmen, and let Ahman work in the Shaofu."

Cao Jie's expression became weird, and the servant of the Huangmen asked Cao Molai to be the minister to convey the edict between the emperor and the emperor.

There are six Caos under the Shangshu Order, and each Cao has a corresponding Huangmen servant, with a salary of six hundred shi. There are a total of 36 people in charge.

The problem is that now the nominal Shangshuling has no real power, and the person who is really in charge of the Shangshuling's power is Cao Jie himself.

Liu Hong is trying to pull Cao Mange under his nose and let Cao Jie coax him!

Cao Jie thought of the benefits of being greedy, his teeth ached and his back ached, and he tried to persuade Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, Ah Mo has a great reputation recently, and he is on the cusp of the storm. How many eyes are staring at him! You promoted him to be a I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be close to an aide. The courtiers may regard him as a celebrity around His Majesty and try their best to win him over, trying to draw him into the "partisan". , How many people want to get close to him!"

Cao Jie stared at what Liu Hong cared about, and kept persuading Liu Hong: "His Majesty transfers him now, he will not be happy, and there will be more people to make friends with him."

Liu Hong stared at Cao Jie coldly for a long while, until he quietly closed his mouth, and then said: "The group of people are in a hurry, and they want to trick Ah Mo to Dunqiu!"

He brought the anti-officials' performance, and he was aggrieved: "These people seem to be able to sing, how many of them jointly played the impeachment, and how many people played the praise, pretending that I didn't know they were in the same group?"

Cao Jie glanced at the memorial, and probably had a little estimate of its content in his heart.

The whole text of the memorial praised Cao Man for his ability to govern the north well. It is a waste of talent to stay in Luoyang to manage the security of the northern streets. I implore His Majesty to promote him and move him to a place where he is needed more to manage a larger land.

Dunhill!

A place full of people's grievances and disasters, the flood of the Yellow River floods the fields, the tyrants make trouble, enclose the land for self-respect, natural disasters break out, the people riot, the poor mountains and rivers, the government go to the theater, it is a hell where unruly people and bullies coexist.

Liu Hong became angry again: "They are going to join forces to kill Ah Man. What kind of remote place is Dunqiu? I think it's almost as good as demoting the person who wrote this memorial to Dunqiu!"

Cao Jie sighed, bowed and said softly: "Your Majesty, if this continues, Ah Mo will walk across from us."

Liu Hong gradually calmed down and listened quietly to Cao Jie's whispers.

"He has justice in his heart and is upright, but he is too naive and too easy to be used by others," every time Cao Jie said, Liu Hong would nod in response, "Exactly!"

"Since the killing of Jian Shuo's uncle, he has been targeted by the 'partisans'. They want to use him and turn him into one of them. The eunuchs also began to hate 'Cao Auspicious, this person, with Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong today, there will be other people who want to harm Ah Man in the future," Cao Jie sighed, "Both the maidservant and his father are worried about this."

Liu Hong pondered: "Indeed, it's not okay to go on like this, he! He's so stupid, he doesn't even know he's being used by others, but he just wants to be a good official and serve the country and the people, what a fool!"

As he spoke, Liu Hong showed a smile: "But it is such a fool who is really doing things for me and for the big man. He has no selfish intentions, and I know it."

As he said that, Liu Hong asked Cao Jie: "You have always had a lot of ideas, but is there a way to resolve this dispute?"

Cao Jie lowered his head and replied meekly: "This servant is stupid, the only way I can think of is to change my name for Ah Man."

"change name?"

Liu Hong froze for a moment, thoughtful.

People in the world don't change their names when they do good deeds, and don't change their surnames when they sit down. For a person, a name is a symbol that will accompany him forever.When you recognize a name, you recognize a person.

Nowadays, in Taixue, how many students and gentlemen worship and praise "Cao Jili", and how many famous scholars mention "Cao Jili" who was an official stick and killed eunuchs' relatives.

Changing the name is a "deception" for those who are familiar with Cao Man, but for those who are far away, it is tantamount to letting Cao Man start a new life, and his reputation is instantly emptied.

Even the vengeance of Jian Shuo's uncle and Zhang Rang's adopted son will have nothing to do with Cao Man.

Even if Jian Shuo and Zhang Rang wanted to settle accounts with the renamed Cao Meng, as long as the two died, there would be no proof.

Liu Hong glanced at Cao Jie, and praised: "It's a good idea, but how to change the name? What name? It should be decided by Ah Man's father."

Obtaining the emperor's approval is tantamount to obtaining a verbal decree!

Cao Jie hurriedly bowed his head to answer the errand, and went to find Cao Song.

Cao Song sighed, cupped his hands to Cao Jie, and said, "My brother broke my heart for us, I'm really sorry, brother, I didn't expect him to poke such a big hole."

"We are one, we are our own family, why should brother see outside?" Cao Jie said with a smile: "Your Majesty also agrees with the method of changing the name, he doesn't want his former companion to be associated with the 'Party' relation."

Cao Song said solemnly: "Definitely! Certainly not, I will be optimistic about him."

Cao Jie: "What to do in the future is up to Brother Lao. Ah Mo is a filial child, and he will certainly be willing to listen to your words."

Cao Song thanked Cao Jie, waited for him to go away, and immediately ordered the servants at home: "Go to the north of Luoyang, and bring me back Aman!"

Cao Mo was renovating the yamen. While beating on the plaque, he bragged to Guo Jia: "When I turn this place into an iron barrel, those bullies will never dare to attack the common people again. I want them to mention my Cao in the future." Ji Li was terrified when he heard the news, and his legs trembled."

Guo Jia stood below and watched him jump up and down like a little monkey, nailing plaques, resisting wood, and brushing around with a red paintbrush.

While eating the fragrant cakes he bought to fill his stomach, he said in admiration: "You are so skillful, how can you know everything? You can even make book cases and instruments of torture, and now you can even nail plaques."

"I can't help it. I've almost spent all my pocket money, and I don't want to go back and ask my father for it." Cao Mo put his hands on his hips, stared at the plaque for a moment, and asked, "Is it a little crooked?"

"It's not crooked! I think it's your eyes that are crooked," Guo Jia muttered, and asked loudly, "Since you've been working so hard in the early morning, aren't you hungry? Are you not tired?"

Cao Mo said energetically: "I'm not tired, just a little hungry, hey, I'll share half of the pancakes, and I smelled the aroma just now."

He jumped off the beam and reached out to touch the pancakes. Guo Jia stuffed the pancakes directly into his mouth and said disgustedly, "My hands are full of lacquer. What are you touching? My hands are clean, so just open your mouth."

After finishing speaking, he opened the pancakes one by one and stuffed them to Cao Mo as if he was feeding a kitten.

The servants of Cao's family rushed over in a carriage, and said to Cao, "Young master, the master asked the younger one to call you home, there is something urgent!"

What made my father call me during working hours?

Cao Man was at a loss, and said goodbye to Guo Jia, like a small fish that was hooked, followed the bait and returned to his home.

Guo Jia looked at the back of Cao Meng leaving, touched his chin, turned his head to look at the bright plaque on it, and regretted: "It seems that this new paint was bought for nothing, and I won't need it in the future, tsk."

After Cao Man returned home, he was even more puzzled when he heard Cao Song say that he wanted to change his name: "It's so good, why do you want to change your name?"

Cao Song was afraid that explaining Taiqing to him would have the opposite effect, so he just said vaguely: "Nowadays the two-character name is popular. Jili is a nice name for my family members, but it is strange to be called by outsiders. The three characters Cao Jili Read it out, it is not the same effect as Cao Mengde."

"Keeply is my grandfather's name," Cao Mo argued.

"Your grandfather also took this for you," Cao Song explained, "It's fine to have a nickname by your family. You have already stepped into the officialdom. People close to you call you Mengde, and those who are not close to you call you auspicious, isn't it? Looks very intimate? Like calling juniors."

Cao Man blinked, and what his father said seemed to make sense: "Then Ji Li will become my nickname from now on?"

Cao Song nodded, "I will give you a name for my father."

Cao Man's eyes lit up, whether it was taken by his grandfather or his father, it was his favorite family member, and it was only natural for his father to name him.

"What name does father plan to name me? Cao Fei, Cao Di, Cao Tian, ​​Cao Ba..." Cao Meng asked expectantly, "You must give me a domineering name, which can shock Xiao Xiao."

Cao Song knocked on the top of his head with a thump, and the old god raised his chin: "My father has already thought about it for you. The single name is 'Cao'. From today, you will change your name to Cao Cao!"

When Cao Man heard this, he immediately had a bitter face: "Hasty?"

What kind of puppy name is that!

He was extremely disgusted, and said to Cao Song: "This name is not good, like the name of a kitten or a puppy."

Cao Song was so angry that he knocked him on the head again, hating that iron could not become steel: "Qiao Sikong is right. You are hot-tempered, lack the virtue of moderation, and like to show your sharpness in everything. You have only been in office for a long time, and you have beaten to death one after another. , you, you, when will you grow up and know how to behave?"

"The word 'cao' means moral character. My father has high hopes for you and hopes that you will be a virtuous person in the future," Cao Song said halfway, thinking of what Cao concealed and did, he had a headache again. Get up: "I also hope that you don't implement the word 'fuck' as the meaning of control and control, and don't commit manipulation and control again. You also promulgated a curfew and instituted a death penalty. You are not an official who made laws, let alone passed the official Ling agrees, without the emperor's decree, the law is just your bullshit!"

Cao Song began to accuse Cao Man of the mistakes he has made so far, accusing him of "advancing forward", "reckless", "unrepentant", and "being used by others to return money to help others"!

"Who can still use me? I will take office. It is His Majesty's golden words to govern the north. I am doing things for His Majesty and the people. Father, don't listen to my colleagues and say a few words to be prejudiced against me. I did it." It is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.”

Cao Song was so angry that he couldn't understand: "When will you turn the corner?"

Cao Mo really wanted to say that he would never be able to turn around in his life, and he didn't plan to turn because he saw it through.

Now seeing his father's chest heaving with anger, he smiled ingratiatingly: "Turn now, what dad said is right, I will bend back and forth, like an earthworm!"

Cao Song let out a "poof" laugh, and poked his forehead furiously and amusedly: "Don't worry about it, you're still bent like an earthworm, you still have a lot to learn about officialdom."

Cao Man curled his lips, accepting the name change: "Okay, okay, from today onwards, I will change my name to 'Caocao', and from now on I will be a little grass by the side of the road."

"It's Cao Cao, Cao Cao!" Cao Song reminded again and again: "In the future, no one will ever call you Ji Li. Did you hear that? Only your family members can call you Ji Li."

No, my family has always called him Ah Man.

Cao Cao's clear eyes looked at his father for a moment, and as a step down for his father, he said perfunctorily: "I know, I know, there will be no such person as Cao Jili in the world from now on."

Cao Song was startled, and looked at Cao Cao suspiciously: This kid, do you know what I mean by doing this?

Cao Cao wondered, "Why do you look at me like that?"

Cao Song shook his head: "No, nothing."

Maybe what I said just now was A Contradict's unintentional words.

Cao Song didn't think that Cao Cao could figure out the key to changing the name.

When he returned home this time, Cao Cao was never able to go back to the north of Luoyang, and he was recruited into the Shaofu by an imperial decree. The emperor issued an imperial decree: Cao Cao, a student of the imperial court, served as the servant of the Huangmen, received a salary of six hundred shi, and went to the Shaofu from now on. serve.

Cao Cao accepted the imperial decree, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said to his father: "It seems that His Majesty thinks that I have done a good job, so he gave me a promotion."

Cao Song originally thought that he would be angry, or sad that the good things he had done in the north of Luoyang were in vain, but he didn't expect this silly boy to be able to hold his breath.

Cao Song said solemnly: "Since you have established a career, you should also start a family. I saw a noble daughter for you. It was Cui Ying, the daughter of Situ Cui Lie. She had to keep filial piety because her grandparents died one after another. This is why our family took advantage of the engagement. The Cui family is a rich family in Youzhou. They used to have three princes and nine ministers. Although their roots in Luoyang are not deep, their daughter was raised in a deep boudoir and raised well. Be the main wife. When you are free, follow me to the Cui family to propose marriage. You are not too young, should you be the successor of my Cao family?"

Passing on the family line, and passing on the lineage!

Cao Cao murmured in his heart, feeling very disgusted with his father's arranged marriage: "I have never seen what the Cui family's daughter looks like, why should I propose marriage? If she is ugly, I will be disgusted by it every day. When the time comes, the in-laws It’s not good if we didn’t form an alliance but became enemies.”

Cao Song said displeasedly, "Do you want my grandfather to die in peace, so that my Cao family will have no heirs in the future?"

Don't you have a younger brother?

Just as Cao Cao was about to retort, the "parenting warehouse" mentioned earlier by the system floated in his mind, which can provide players with blood offspring.

Cao Cao poked the system, and the system that used to supervise his studies at night finally responded.

[The blood of the player is required to activate the childcare warehouse. The player is still young, so it is not recommended to have offspring at the age of 20. ]

At the age of 20, I am not mature yet!Still raising offspring?Can you enter into the responsibility of a father and be a good teacher?

But Cao Cao said: "Here, we get engaged at the age of 14, get married at the age of 20, and some people become fathers at the age of 15. People of my age are all married and have children. It's no wonder that my father is anxious. If there is a once-and-for-all solution Just keep his mouth shut."

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he felt that the childcare warehouse was a good thing. He didn't want to find a housekeeper who was not as beautiful as himself, who was too delicate and wanted to control him, and put it at home as an eyesore!

Cao Cao began to passively resist Cao Song, and the day after he received the imperial edict, he moved to the palace, lived in the Shaofu, and seldom went home.He also deliberately went to find Guo Jia, and found that the northern yamen had been emptied, and there was only a letter left by Guo Jia left for him.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel lost: "It turns out that he already knew that I would be relocated soon after I left."

Guo Jia packed his luggage, and before he left, he helped him dismiss the borrowed and hired officials, and paid him resettlement fees.

The letter said that he had gone to the literary meeting in the south of Luoyang, so Cao Mo didn't have to worry about it.

Cao Cao silently clenched his fists as he looked at the newly decorated, but desolate northern yamen because of the empty buildings.
