Chapter 62 Banquet Storm
[Thanks to the book friend "Bare" and "Immortal Light" for the reward! Calling for the support of Sanjiang tickets!] After the ceremony was completed, the banquet began. The servants quickly brought the food to the guests and prepared dishes. Some servants even walked into the lobby with a few large jars of fine wine and placed the wine in the center of the hall.
Cao Cao raised the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Today is a good day. Friends, don't go back until you get drunk!"
After saying this, Cao Cao held up the wine bottle with both hands and drank it all. Then he held the wine bottle high and showed it to all directions.
Cao Cao was so happy, and everyone was not polite. In addition, the Cao family arranged the place very well, and everyone had maids helping to buy wine. The wine in the big jar became lighter and shallower, and everyone soon drank a jar.
Since it is a banquet, it is impossible to eat without saying anything, and everyone’s chats and laughter are inevitable during this period. People, local celebrities or distinguished guests in Beijing, can never get around the hurdle of the Lichu, and the atmosphere is getting more and more tense.
Cao Cao was secretly anxious. If Chunyu Qiong and Feng Fang had a dispute in public, he would have to be forced to stand in a row, and he would have to offend one side at that time. Perhaps this was also the original intention of both of them, and they would force me to stand in public. Unfortunately, after I came back, I wanted to do something else and expand my territory for the Han Dynasty. Will this dream be empty again?!
But what should he do? He couldn't think of a good idea for a while, but he had to draw everyone's attention anyway. At this time, the guests held wine to congratulate each other. Cao Cao thought about it and refused everyone. In the blink of an eye, he had already drunk dozens of cups of wine and was in a state of drunkenness.
I heard Cao Cao suddenly sing:
"When it comes to wine and singing, the officials do not call the door during the peace.
The king is virtuous and wise, and the prime minister is loyal and kind.
All politely and the people have no disputes.
Three years of farming and nine years of storage, and the valley is full.
Grey no load.
This is the case with rain and grains.
But he took the horse and used manure to make the earthen fields.
The Duke, Duke, Duke, Bozinan, all loved the people and promoted the Qingming Festival.
The son is raised like a father and a brother.
If you violate etiquette and law, the severity of punishment will be followed.
There is no selfishness to pick up the remains of the road.
The prison is empty and the winter festival continues.
All people who are old can die.
Glory is broad and plants and insects.”
After saying that, Cao Cao threw his bottle on the ground, and suddenly burst into tears in public, even tears could not stop. Although he had the idea of diverting his eyes and attracting everyone's attention at first, when talking about grass, Cao Cao couldn't help but express his inner desires and his imagination of an ideal society: the king, sage, ministers, wise, lawsuits and wise, the grains are not prospered, the country is rich and the people are sufficient, and everyone will die.
But the reality is completely opposite to Cao Cao's dream. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, the lives of the people did not improve at all. Although the court had lifted the party shackles, they still fought and had no time to calm down. Moreover, the emperor was extremely stupid and the ministers were not interested in making progress, let alone expanding their territory, or even unable to quell the rebellion of Han Sui and others!
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more sad he became. Many guests sighed for the current reality and could only drink and get drunk. Chunyu Qiong was careless and did not notice the abnormality. Feng Fang vaguely guessed Cao Cao's intention. This guy cleverly expressed his dissatisfaction with reality, and the other was to use drunkenness to avoid standing in the queue! However, do you think you can avoid it by pretending to be drunk? Cao Cao, although you are cunning, your son is only ten years old. Do you think he can escape from my husband's palm?!
Because Cao Cao repeatedly avoided talking about the matter of opposing the crown prince, Feng Fang was very angry. He saw him step forward a few steps, walked to Cao Ang, and said with a smile: "What a handsome young man, no wonder General Cao is proud of him and drinks hard. My nephew, since your father has such talent and a family background, you must have achieved something. Now it is your good day. Why don't you write a poem and express your feelings with me?"
As soon as Feng Fang said this, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Cao Cao, who was drunk and crying, did not care about his performance, stared at his child with his eyes, fearing that he would make a fool of himself in public.
Cao Cao cursed in his heart: Feng Fang, my son has provoked you, so he is so difficult! Although he is a bit literary, he can write any good articles in a hurry! If it is spread and become a laughing stock, my son's reputation will be destroyed on you!
Compared with the nervousness of Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun and others, Cao Ang did not feel any timidity. God took good care of himself, allowing himself to travel to the Three Kingdoms era, and allowing himself to have so many poems from later generations to plagiarize. Not to mention anything else, the poet Li Bai is a prolific poet. If you just borrow one of his poems to use, you can shock the past and present!
Cao Ang pretended to be thinking and took three steps slowly.
Feng Fang felt that his actions just now were too reckless and did not want to offend Cao Cao too much, so he said with a smile: "My nephew, don't worry, think slowly! Uncle, when I used to write poetry, I didn't have ten days or half a month, so how could I find the article I took out. Today is just for happiness. If the My nephew is in a dilemma, it would be fine. After all, you are still a child, and it is common for you to not write it out, so don't care."
Feng Fang took the initiative to take a step, and Cao Cao's expression also eased, but Cao Ang was unwilling to give up the opportunity to become famous. He asked with a smile: "Uncle, can I drink wine?"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. Chunyu Qiong even poured a cup of wine and handed it to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang took the wine, took a big sip, and couldn't help but cough. Amid everyone's kind laughter, Cao Ang took another three or four steps, and suddenly stopped and said loudly:
"The great roc rises with the wind one day, soaring up to 90,000 miles.
If the wind stops, it will still be able to shake the vast water.
When people see me, they always sneer when they hear me.
Xuan’s father can still be afraid of his future generations, but his husband cannot be young!”
As soon as this poem was released, everyone was shocked. Although this seven-character poem is not the same as the mainstream poems and essays nowadays, the ambitions contained in it are very touching.
Everyone applauded, and some people even hurriedly picked up the wine and copied the poem on several tables, fearing that they would forget it. Even Cao Cao looked at his eldest son in disbelief. This is the Qianlijiao of my Cao family!
Feng Fang was a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, his actions made Cao Ang famous again. Feng Fang, who was invisibly clown, said furiously: "I didn't expect that the nephew of the clan was smart, but my uncle was out of sight! Let's do this, now the court is arguing about the establishment of the crown prince. Since the nephew of the clan is so talented, why not write a poem with this title!"
Cao Cao was about to come forward to stop him, but Chunyu Qiong stopped him. However, Cao Ang did not look at his father's hint, but took another six or seven steps and said loudly:
"Cook beans and keep them in soup, and filter the beans and think they are juice. The firewood burns under the pot, and the beans cry in the pot. They are originally grown in the same root, so why not fry them too quickly!"
As soon as this poem was released, everyone was shocked! Not to mention Cao Ang's wit, just talking about the meaning contained in this poem was very moving. Feng Fang gently held down the bun on his head and gave a solemn greeting to the ten-year-old Cao Ang, "I'm sure to receive the teaching!"
At this moment, dozens of yamen runners rushed in. The leader was Yuan Ping, the county magistrate of Qiao County. He saw him happily walking into the hall and laughing!
Being able to rush into Cao's mansion to arrest people and spread it was a good reputation for not fearing the powerful and powerful. Yuan Ping naturally wanted to seize this opportunity. So he not only led the yamen runners to break into Cao's mansion himself, but also secretly mobilized 500 soldiers.
However, as soon as Yuan Ping rushed into the hall, he was stunned. Why are there so many famous scholars in front of him? What activities does the Cao family have today? Yuan Ping felt more and more unsure, and his laughter came to an abrupt end!
Just as he was hesitating, Feng Fang asked angrily: "I am Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army Assistant Army. Who are you waiting for? How dare you break into this Cao Mansion?"
Chunyu Qiong also shouted loudly: "I am Chunyu Qiong, the right lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army. This is the residence of the Dianjun Academy Commander Cao Mengde. You actually broke in without permission. You are so tired of living!"
The banquet was approaching its end, and it was already well known that Cao Cao was appointed as the Dianjun Academy Captain. Now there is finally a chance to please him with justification, and everyone must seize it.
I heard everyone in the hall yelling about their identities. What gathered here were celebrities from the entire Qiao County and even the entire Yuzhou. Everyone had a prominent title! In Qiao County, it was even more of an existence that Yuan Ping dared not disturb!
Whenever a person reveals his identity, Yuan Ping feels that he is three points shorter! By the time everyone finishes talking, he regrets it and really hopes that he can get into the ground.
Cao Cao stood up and said with a sneer: "I didn't expect that as soon as Cao was promoted to the lieutenant of the army, a yamen runner rushed into Cao's mansion. Is there any other king's law?"
Dianjun Captain?! My mother! Yuan Ping was so scared by Cao Cao's words that he trembled all over. He smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding!"
"Hmm?" Cao Cao snorted coldly, "Misunderstanding? General Yuan, I want to hear what you have to explain!"
Yuan Ping wiped the cold sweat from his face and said with a wry smile: "In front of General Cao, I am not qualified to call myself a general. The small one is just a small county magistrate. In fact, this is the case. Not long ago, the county magistrate Liu Quan was assassinated at the post station. Based on the confession of the old soldiers at the post station, the government made two portraits of the thieves. After identification, one of them was the same as Xiahou Yuan, and the other... the other could not be identified. I heard that Xiahou Yuan was a guest here, so we came to capture him!"
After hearing his words, everyone was cast on Xiahou Yuan. When Xiahou Yuan strode out and said loudly, "Yes, I was hurt by the county magistrate Liu Quan. Who made him slander my enlightenment mentor a few days ago?!"
"Good job!" Someone shouted in the crowd, "If the master is in trouble, the disciple should serve him! Brother Miaocai, we are proud of you!"
When Cao Ang heard this slightly hoarse voice, he knew that the person who was talking was Xiahou Dun. With Xiahou Dun as his entrusting, the guests of Cao's mansion were even more aroused, and they shouted at Yuan Ping.
Yuan Ping was neither right nor wrong, nor did he not refute, and he didn't dare to refute at all, his face turned red! Thinking about the identities of the guests in Cao's mansion, especially the two lieutenants who first stood out, Yuan Ping felt that he had stabbed a hornet's nest today! Alas, I didn't look at the almanac when I went out!
