[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

When Cao Pi heard the news, he thumped in his heart, and immediately went up to the table to reject it.

No amount of sincerity or eloquence in writing can alleviate the slightest anxiety.Cao Pi went to Zheng Ping at the first time, said this, and said with a sad face:

"The emperor pushed me as a shield and put me on the fire. Even if everyone can see that this is a conspiracy, it has to make people think too much."

What's more, Cao Cao was suspicious at first, even if he found out the emperor's plan at a glance, he would definitely have other thoughts in his heart.

When Zheng Ping heard this, there was no surprise on his face.

Compared with Cao Pi's frowning, his action of borrowing stone slabs to barbecue can be regarded as leisurely——

Since he developed the new usage of Cao Cao's gifts, Zheng Ping moved this stone slab to the government office, and used it for barbecue after work every day.

From now on, in addition to the smell of books and ink, there is also the aroma of barbecue and dipping sauce in the government office, which makes everyone in the office salivate.

With the example of Zheng Ping, the highest official, many people below wanted to follow suit, secretly looking for a suitable stone slab and bringing it to the government office.They don't dare to touch fish and grill meat during work, and only use it to grill during lunch breaks and meals.Ever since, every lunch break and meal time, there is a strong fragrance lingering in the office, and everyone in the yamen shows their skills, grilling delicacies with stone slabs.

The other nearby yamen smelled the fragrance, and they were able to hold it at first.Until later, the fragrance became stronger and stronger and drifted farther and farther. Many officials were aroused by gluttons and angrily scolded Si Ji and his group for not doing human affairs.

When they knew the origin and profound meaning of the aroma, a trend of slate barbecue swept across all government offices and quickly spread to the common people.

When Cao Cao knew about this trend, his entire face turned dark.He finally realized that Yuan Shaona had difficulty describing his feelings when "primitive poetry" was popular.Even though the people who used the slate to barbecue didn't know that the fashion guide——Zheng Ping's slate was made by himself, but he still felt a slight pain on his face, and an unexplainable sense of suffocation.

It was clearly satirizing Zheng Ping, how could he use the stone slab as an invisible warning and admonishment without hesitation, and roast it so fragrantly that others followed suit?

After so many years, he who has already stood at the top of power still can't do anything to Zheng Ping, and instead is tricked by his unexpected tricks. How can he not be depressed?

Fortunately, sending Zheng Ping's slate was done in private, as long as the tolerance of delivering things is tight enough, he can use it as a slate and has nothing to do with him...

Before this thought could be warmed up, Zheng Ping smeared it on his face.

It turned out that there were one or two assistants in the Siji Yamen who were close to Zheng Ping, and after a few barbecues from him, they found that the stone barbecue they made with others was far less crispy than Zheng Ping's.Aside from the excellent dipping sauces, the roast meat itself is far from it.

Zheng Ping's barbecue is cooked quickly and heated evenly; while other people's barbecue is not only slow to heat, but also charred while raw, affecting appetite.

After working out this question together with other people, after several people’s observations, they found that Zheng Ping’s stone slab was made of a special material, not only as hard as steel, but also shiny in the black, and it was ground very neatly and evenly, which was far from being taken by them casually. The broken stones picked up and polished in the stone market are comparable.

Several people thought together, because they had a good relationship with Zheng Ping, and they were not as afraid of his reputation as outsiders, so they took the time to come over and ask directly.

Of course Zheng Ping would not cover up this matter for Cao Cao.He sold Cao Cao completely and told them that the stone slabs were sent by Cao Cao. He didn't know where the quarry came from, and which craftsman wrote them.After finishing speaking, he sighed: "The prime minister is considerate, and this stone slab is very much to my liking."

It is still unknown what the officials who knew about this incident thought. After Cao Cao learned about this incident, he drank another bottle of gas.

How did he know that in order to satirize Zheng Ping's smelly and tough temper, the hard volcanic rock he specially found turned out to be a sharp weapon for barbecue, and in order to metaphor Zheng Ping's name - the word "Zheng Ping", he deliberately polished the stone plate to be extremely smooth and smooth, which can be called "Zheng Ping". The decision of being both "right" and "flat" makes the stone slab as usable as a pot, and Zheng Ping can use it for delicious barbecue without any effort.

Party Cao Cao: Regret, I regret it now.Not only did he not humiliate anyone, he even lifted a slab of stone and smashed himself in the foot.

What made him panic even more was that he was still thinking about the smell of barbecue that Zheng Ping sent before...

No matter how Cao Cao accepted the trend of slate barbecue and the anecdotes about him gifting magical kitchen utensils, Zheng Ping still developed new slate dishes every day, which benefited Cao Pi and others who came to eat.

Today, because of the emperor's edict, Cao Pi smelled that the stone burning that he always liked was no longer fragrant.

Seeing that Zheng Ping was still tinkering with this thing, he was anxious. If he hadn't taken care of his image, he would have already plunged his fingers into his hair angrily, and pulled out his thick hair to become half bald.

Seeing that he couldn't calm down, Zheng Ping asked him to come over and control the heat of the stone slabs, while he checked the temperature himself.

After Cao Pi's attention shifted slightly, Zheng Ping said slowly:

"Lao Tzu once said that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. The misfortune you worry about may not necessarily be the real misfortune."

Just as Cao Pi calmed down a bit, when he heard this sentence, his face that had finally calmed down became bitter and bitter again:

"I'm afraid that this disaster will kill me first before it turns into a blessing and allows me to enjoy the blessing."

Zheng Pingdao: "You and the prime minister are father and son, and when the father is honored, the son will be honored, and vice versa. The emperor's move seems ruthless and clever, but if you two work together and are not disturbed by fame and fortune, this move will not be a disaster. , it’s a blessing.”

It's a great thing to be a Wei Gong for nothing and not have to fight with his brothers.

Cao Pi is not a person without ambitions. He has been pretentious in recent years in order to gain Cao Cao's attention and strive to become Cao Cao's successor.

If Cao Cao can get over the hurdle in his heart and not anger Cao Pi because of Liu Xie's conspiracy, for Cao Pi who intends to take over, it is equivalent to someone giving a pillow when he is sleepy.

Despite Zheng Ping's relief, Cao Pi still couldn't be happy.

"Although Yang's conspiracy is not revealed, it is more difficult to crack than a conspiracy..."

Conspiracies can still find opportunities to break through. Yangmou is purely a plan made by taking advantage of the situation and people's hearts. The situation is beyond human control, and people's hearts are even more difficult to measure.

What Zheng Ping said might indeed exist, but he didn't dare to have any hope at all.

"It's okay." Zheng Ping motioned Cao Pi to put down the tableware, walked closer, and whispered something in his ear.

This sentence made Cao Pi hesitate.For so many years, Zheng Ping has been in charge of Zhongshu, and has almost never participated in planning affairs.Cao Pi couldn't measure Zheng Ping's ability to plan, and he couldn't help hesitating about his almost absurd proposal.

But in the end, the trust in Zheng Ping prevailed, he nodded in agreement, and went to the stone slab and the stove to continue brushing the sauce.

Not long after, Guo Jia, who was a counselor at the prime minister's mansion next door, came over to have a meal, and even dragged Xun You and Xun Yu over.

Zheng Ping had already become the hands-off shopkeeper, and ordered Cao Pi to cook quickly, and then invited Xun You and the others to take a seat under the slightly surprised gazes of Xun You and the others.

For this situation, Cao Pi actually felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and he did not let the trembling servants outside intervene, and he took care of all the slate cooking by himself.

After the meat and vegetables were finished roasting, Zheng Ping first sent two servings to Kong Rong and Yang Xiu who were far away in another area, and ordered the servants to fill up the rice and put it on the large tables he had made. , invite everyone to taste.

Not long after, Cao Cao came uninvited.
