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

No one thought that Cao Cao would come here at this time.

Not to mention what Cao Pi, who had just been "killed by the imperial edict", was thinking, even Guo Jia, who seemed the least worried, subconsciously suppressed the smile on his face, and looked at Xun Yu with a worried look.

Xun Yu, who became the center of sight, was the calmest.After many years of recuperation, his appearance has not changed, his temperament remains the same, time has not left obvious marks on his body.

He got up calmly, and saluted Cao Cao, as if the past festivals and grievances did not exist.

This is the first time Cao Cao has seen Xun Yu in many years.The haggardness and melancholy that existed in the imaginary are not seen at all, Xun Yu is dressed in dark soap-colored clothes, standing like a pine and bamboo.He has a handsome face, and his demeanor remains the same, making Cao Cao feel in a trance for a moment, as if time has been reversed and he has returned to more than ten years ago.

At this moment, Cao Cao also forgot about the differences in political opinions and disputes, just like old friends reunited, and said to Xun Yu, who looked like he was only [-] years old, like his nephew: "I haven't seen each other for many years, Wen Ruo hasn't changed at all, I still remember In the past, you and I met in the military..."

Cao Cao only recalled it for a moment, and then he woke up from the memories of knowing each other.

He is no longer young, no longer youthful spirit.Looking back on the past now, even though there are some regrets and regrets, it is more like calm water, suppressing all sensibility in the overall situation and great cause.

With Cao Cao's keenness, he would not mistake the silence in the room.

His eyes skipped over his still young and vigorous son-in-law, and then turned to several other old ministers who did not appear to be very old, and he sighed with emotion:

"You guys still look young, it doesn't seem like you were born alone. If you didn't know, you would think that you are all of the same generation as the deputy prime minister (Cao Pi), and you are the same as the grandparents. Could it be because you look old alone, there are Enjoying delicious food is not called Shanggu?"

He seems to have become the lord who loves to interrupt jokes with his subjects again. Guo Jia, who was once a bad friend, was the first to react, and then said, "I will know that the lord has a keen sense of smell, and he can smell the fragrance within a hundred miles. ", was cut off by Zheng Ping.

"Since the advent of Hua's divine doctor's health-preserving soup, I have taken some of it, and it has miraculous effects. But the prime minister works day and night, exhausting his heart and energy-as the saying goes, working hard makes people old, and the prime minister scatters around like an old cow plowing the field. His appearance is better than ours. It is not surprising that several people are more than 30 years old."

Cao Cao: ...Gu was just laughing at himself, trying to get closer, and didn't ask you why Gu is so much older than you.

Even if he knew that Zheng Ping would prick his heart if he came here today, Cao Cao never expected that Zheng Ping would not only prick his heart, but even his old skin.

What is "scattering hoofs like an old cow plowing the field"?Why do these words sound so wrong?

Cao Cao decisively chose a compromise between "continue to get along with each other as if nothing had happened" and "don't coax that Ni Zhengping".

He put on a smile and said: "Zhengping's mouth hasn't grown old, it's still the same after more than ten years. I'm afraid that when your face becomes old like a chrysanthemum, you can still scare children to stop crying with one mouth."

Zheng Ping also said with a smile: "Don't bother the prime minister, as far as it is concerned, I'm afraid that the prime minister will grow old first, and just a wrinkled face will scare the young grandson to howl."

Cao Cao's complexion turned dark. He was close to the age of hearing, because his eldest son died early, and his grandson had not yet been born. Only the eldest daughter gave birth to a grandson, and every time he came to his hands, he would cry endlessly.

Cao Cao knew that this was probably because he had been fighting for many years, and he was too bloody and murderous. However, he was stabbed by Zheng Ping today. Although he knew that the other party was talking nonsense, in order to argue with him, he couldn't help but feel a little bit suspicious. Is it because I am too old that I arouse the dislike of my grandson.

Just when Cao Cao doubted his life, Zheng Ping had already asked several people to sit down again, and quickly ate the barbecue while it was hot.

Cao Cao, who was not entertained, suddenly had a sad illusion.Instead of turning around and leaving, he sat down next to Cao Pi and stared at Cao Pi with the majestic eyes that belonged to his father.

Although Cao Pi, who was 27 years old at the time, was mature and stable, and had initially gained power, he still froze his chopsticks in his hands under the watchful eyes of his more prestigious father, and silently gave him his chopsticks.

Cao Cao was grateful for his son's "filial piety" and accepted it without psychological pressure.Zheng Ping watched all this with cold eyes, and ordered his subordinates to bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks to make up for Cao Pi.

The barbecue has been out of the pan for a while, and it is suitable for hot and cold, and the aroma is overflowing.

The shadows of their chopsticks were shining, and they fell like flying. Although they did not change their etiquette, the speed of chopsticks was getting faster and faster one by one.

Originally, only two or three people had prepared a portion that was obviously not enough for the six elders. In a short while, all the barbecue and sauce were gone.Cao Cao still couldn't get enough of it, and he didn't know whether it was because the barbecue was too delicious, or the behavior of sharing food and grabbing it was too far away from him, making him blinded by the fog that filled the room.

After drinking and eating, Zheng Ping asked the yamen servants to bring clove water for several people to rinse their mouths to taste.

Among the few people present, Zheng Ping was always worried, Xun You had always been taciturn, Cao Pi was obedient and silent because of the emperor's edict, and Xun Yu and Cao Cao had long since had nothing to talk about.Looking at the entire main room, it turned out that only Guo Jia had something to talk with him, and even Guo Jia, who had never had a relationship with him, was a little more absent-minded during the conversation because he was concerned about the other people.

Perhaps people in old age will be sensitive and thoughtful, and the lone walk that Cao Cao once did not put in his eyes can actually make him feel indisputable now.

He didn't stay any longer, said some scene words, and left with Xu Chu who was guarding him.

Cao Pi hesitated for a while, and finally said goodbye to Zheng Pingping and left with Cao Cao.

The remaining four people in the room were also silent, they put away the utensils together and talked about other things.

When it came to the new imperial edict issued by the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu's face was slightly restrained, and he was silent for a long time, as if breaking the ice after years and being freed from the rusty shackles:

"Therefore, if you miss people and think of heaven, you will lose the love of all things [1]. If you follow the sky, you will lose your life."

It was not only Xun Yu who changed because of an edict, but also many civil servants in the court.

Before the emperor issued an edict, most people in the court respected the emperor in name, but in fact they followed Cao Cao's lead.Only a very small number of people firmly supported the authority of the emperor, and they couldn't see Cao Cao's many actions.

In terms of grasping the situation in the DPRK and China, Liu Xie had been gradually suppressed by Cao Cao as early as the early days of Jian'an, and it has declined year by year since then, and even his decency on the bright side has been wiped away bit by bit.

However, the few royalists never gave up hope, and some courtiers loyal to the emperor were even faintly aware of a small force hidden by the emperor in the dark, and there was still hope in their hearts, and this hope reached its peak when Cao Cao was assassinated .

It's a pity that there were so many warriors around Cao Cao, and Cao Cao himself was so resolute and bold that he survived this assassination.Cao Cao has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. Even though he had no evidence to prove that the assassination was related to the emperor and the royalists, he still risked the world's dissatisfaction and imprisoned the empress, Dong Guiren, etc., and cut off the unknown forces with lightning speed. The mainstay of the royalists and the emperor completely reduced the emperor to a lone king.

Under such circumstances, even if Liu Xie still has some manpower, and he has the talent of an emperor, the situation is gone, and there is almost no possibility of turning over.

In fact, the assassination of Cao Cao was already a desperate attempt. If it fails, nothing will happen. This is why Liu Xie used Yang's plan to establish Cao Pi as the public.

The emperor kept his word, if it was just to provoke Cao Cao and his son, he didn't need to give up the position of Duke Wei.

After the edict was issued, the royalists knew that the general situation was over, and they became depressed a lot.Some unsteady families were ready to find a way out and bowed their heads to Cao Cao.On the contrary, some of Cao Cao's supporters had different thoughts.

Everyone knows that Cao Cao is old, and he has been injured in battles all year round, so he doesn't have a good life for a few years.What's more, Cao Cao has been in power for many years, and there are already a group of trustworthy ministers around him. With too many monks, the courtiers who are not trusted and reused naturally follow the edict and cast their eyes on his son Cao Pi.

Leaving aside Cao Ang, who had long since died, Cao Pi was named the eldest son, he was in his prime, and he didn't have many ministers around him. If he could serve him, he would always go further in the future.

At first everyone was still watching carefully. After all, Cao Cao gave birth to many excellent sons. Apart from Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, who was also a legitimate son, was more talented, and the younger Cao Chong was very intelligent and far beyond human reach—until an imperial edict smashed Now, many people flock to Cao Pi.

No matter what Cao Cao thinks, it is his son Cao Pi who will profit. As long as he is not in a daze, he will not even give the emperor the last dignity, and completely show his disobedience. Clearly resist the purpose.

There are bold people who want to join Cao Pi's line, but before they can turn their ideas into reality, a strange rumor suddenly spreads in the market.

A courtier suddenly had a nightmare. He dreamed that he knelt down to his son when his hair was gray.Because the dream was too real, he called his son immediately after he got up, beat him with the dove stick passed down by his ancestors, and reprimanded him for being unfilial.

The son was beaten in a daze, and he was aggrieved. He went around complaining to others, and even found a few troubled brothers because of his father's "salute", "give way", "give way" " dream taught them a lesson.

Originally, the people in the city only listened to this as a joke, but there were many similar deeds, and many people were amazed and murmured in their hearts.

The Eastern Han Dynasty paid attention to the science of prophecy and latitude, and several people had dreams with similar meanings at the same time, which forced the people to think in the direction of mysterious and mysterious destiny.

At this moment, whoever mentioned the recently sensational imperial edict, many people showed subtle expressions when they thought of Duke Wei who had been hand-picked.

If Cao Pi became the Duke of Wei, he would be the prince with the highest title. Even if Cao Cao was the prime minister, he would still have to salute his son.

Originally, they lacked understanding and attention to the affairs of the court, but just watched the bustle from the outside, and even thought that "it would be nice if the Duke of Wei was not named Cao Cao, who once slaughtered the city and famous people", the people immediately felt a little sympathy for Cao Cao.

After having been majestic for most of his life, if he really wanted to salute his son, it would be so miserable.
