Chapter 17 San Gong Cao!
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. My lonely head will be hurt by yours."
Cao Cao frowned and covered his head, looking a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Cao Chong and Cao Pi naturally stopped arguing and stood honestly in front of Cao Cao.
"It's windy here, let's go to Mingguang Hall. The eunuchs will cook some wine and food. My father and son will have lunch here."
During the Three Kingdoms period, two meals a day were usually served, but this was just the living conditions of ordinary people. In fact, if you think of noble people like Cao Cao and Cao Chong, you would normally eat five meals a day.
One meal in the morning, one meal at noon, one meal from mid-afternoon, one meal in the evening, and then if it is late, one meal at midnight.
The difference between the rich and the poor is not to mention that it has been 16 years since Jian'an, even in later generations, it is very huge.
So in terms of eating, Cao Chong felt that ancient times would still be better than later generations.
I feel so comfortable when I have clothes and food.
Cao Chong and others followed Cao Cao back to Mingguang Hall. Cao Cao knelt on the main seat, while Cao Chong and Cao Pi sat opposite each other on the left and right sides of His Highness.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Cao Chong and Cao Pi: "Don't be restrained either. You are your father. This royal palace is your home. How can you be restrained when you get home?"
Cao Chong hurriedly said yes and relaxed his posture, while Cao Pi was still sitting upright.
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi and shook his head, but he didn't say anything on his lips.
After a while, Cao Cao changed into a more comfortable position and said to Cao Pi, the Cao of His Highness, and said, "I have heard of Zhuge Kongming and Sima Zhongda, the two of you mentioned, and none of them are good things."
None of them are good things?
Cao Chong and Cao Pi were both stunned for a moment, not knowing why Cao Cao said such words.
Cao Cao saw the puzzled look on Cao Chong Cao Pi's face and said, "The first reason why they are not good people is that they are too smart."
"When Zhuge Liang did things for Liu Bei before, every step he made Liu Bei take made a cold sweat from behind me. If such a wise person can control it, it will naturally be a good card in his hand, but if he can't control it, it will backfire himself, which is not good."
Cao Chong knew that it was Cao Cao reminding him, so he hurriedly bowed to Cao Cao.
But in fact, Cao Chong was not very moved.
The reason why he allowed Zhuge Liang to drink and have fun in the Fengyue Field was naturally because of his fear of Zhuge Liang.
Although Cao Chong values Zhuge Liang's talent, if Zhuge Liang does not reveal his heart to him and expresses his loyalty, Cao Chong will not believe him for a day because trust is mutual, which is the same as the love between the two.
Both parties give half and half, which is the best state, but if one party gives a lot, then the love will not last.
Similarly, if Cao Chong trusted Zhuge Liang more than he was loyal to him, Cao Chong would not reuse him.
Because this allegiance will not last long.
As for why Cao Chong wanted to win the quota for this envoy, it was because Cao Chong had no one else in Yecheng.
Xu Shu is a counselor, and he has a lot of things every day and cannot leave. Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are both congressmen, but Pang Tong still has to help him manage government affairs and cannot leave.
After Zhou Buyi was thrown into Luoyang by Cao Chong, it seemed that Zhuge Liang was the only one who could be used by Cao Chong.
After all, Zhuge Liang is still a member of his own on the surface, and Cao Chong is also waiting for Zhuge Liang to reveal his heart to him.
Instead of letting this position be taken to Cao Pi, it is better to give it to Zhuge Liang.
This is what Cao Chong thought.
But Cao Chong had this idea, and Cao Pi would not lose his immediate interests.
So he bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Father, although Sima Yi is wise, the son minister thinks he can control him. He is not afraid of him, he can only become a chess piece in the son minister's hand. It's Cang Shu, after all, he is too young. If Zhuge Liang makes any trip, wouldn't Cang Shu suffer a loss?"
The more Cao Pi spoke, the more righteous he spoke.
"If Kurashu is a few years older at this time, then the position of this envoy is naturally for Kurashu. But Kurashu is still too young. If Zhuge Liang is full of wings, wouldn't Kurashu not be able to control him and be played with by Zhuge Liang in his palms?"
After saying this, Cao Pi bowed to Cao Cao and said, "So, my son hopes that the father will not make it difficult for Cang Shu to do it. This envoy will be left to Sima Yi to do it. I believe that with Sima Yi's talent, he will definitely be able to do this for his father."
hehe!
Cao Chong sneered in his heart, but he discovered Cao Pi's ability to confuse Hei White.
In the previous argument with Cao Zhi, Cao Pi directly denied Cao Zhi a childish and stubborn label, which made Cao Zhi angry and also made him kicked out of the game.
Now Cao Pi uses the same method to deal with himself.
But unfortunately, his weaknesses are not as obvious as Cao Zhi. Cao Pi cannot see his stubbornness and cannot say he is stupid, so he uses his age to make a case.
Compared with Cao Zhi, Cao Pi and others, Cao Chong is indeed too small.
In Cao Pi's words, how can you control Zhuge Liang by Cao Chong? Why don't you come back in a few years? Leave this trick to help Ma Chao to do!
This move was a disguised curse of Cao Chong's breasts. If it were Cao Zhi, he would have been so angry that he would have fought with Cao Pi long ago. However, Cao Chong was not Cao Zhi. Even after listening to Cao Pi's words, Cao Chong's mind was still very clear except for a few sneers in his heart.
"Second brother, you are not saying this. Although Cang Shu is still young, he is not bad at judging people. Besides, he is taking care of his second brother and his father. I am afraid of being plotted against by villains?"
Cao Chong's words mean that although I am young, I am not small. Even if I am not good at it, aren't you, Cao Pi and Cao Cao behind me?
There are tall people holding me up when the sky collapses. How can I be afraid?
"Cang Shu..." Cao Pi was obviously going to continue arguing with Cao Chong when he heard Cao Chong say this.
What Cao Cao was afraid of was the two people quarreling in front of him, so Boss Cao waved his hand and said to Cao Pi: "Don't argue with you brothers, either, there is no result after arguing, but it hurts the brotherhood."
Cao Cao paused and continued, "Although what Zihuan said was unpleasant, if you listen carefully, it makes sense. Cang Shu, you are still young, and the candidate for the envoy this time is Sima Yi."
"Father..." After hearing this result, Cao Chong certainly refused and hurriedly wanted to speak.
Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled Cao Chong to be calm.
"Don't be impatient for a moment, let Gu finish his words first. Zihuan's words are not bad. You are young and don't handle all kinds of things like Zihuan. Recruiting Ma Chao is a major event in the country. There should be no accidents, so you will leave this matter to Zihuan."
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Pi bowed to Cao Cao and said loudly: "My son must work hard to complete the recruitment of peace."
Cao Chong's face naturally looked unwilling, but he could only swallow his depression.
Anyway, I have also taken a lot of credit, and although I still snatched away the meat for Cao Pi...
Cao Cao could naturally see the frustration on Cao Chong's face, and then said, "Cang Shu, you don't need to be depressed. Zihuan is right. You are still young and need training. In this way, after the Shangsi Festival, you should go to Lingjun to be the third minister Cao. This position is the best way to train people."
Three Duke Cao?
The smile on Cao Pi's face froze instantly, but Cao Chong's face gradually showed a smile.
