chapter seven hundred and seventy six.
Youdao is a foreign monk who is good at chanting scriptures! Now Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang, who is working outside the country, is becoming more and more pleasing to him!
As mentioned earlier, a good leader does not necessarily need to be outstanding in everything, but two abilities must be strong. One is to know people and make good use of relationships, and the other is to reconcile relationships! Cao Zhang has shown this battle in this battle, and reconciling relationships and just persuaded Cao Ren to withdraw, which also revealed Cao Zhang's ability.
Looking at the third brother who was not very concerned about him, Cao Cao really felt that he hadn't paid attention to him early for a while.
"Father Wang!"
However, when Cao Zhang looked at him with his hot eyes, he felt a little chilling on his back. While recalling what he did wrong, he clasped his fists sadly.
This time, when the ministers were just boasting about showing off their merits, most of the ministers were also dismissed. Now there are Cao Chun and several other Cao clans, Chen Qun, Jia Xu and other important officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because of Cao Pi, Sima Yi was also here. Mr. Cao's eyes were full of love, and everyone was also a little confused.
He is truly a great leader, and he is a bombshell as soon as he opens his mouth! Listening to Cao Zhang's shocked clasping his fists, Cao Cao, who suddenly woke up, said loudly in a particularly happy mood.
"My Ziwen, this time is a great merit! I should reward you for your merits. I want to confer Ziwen as the general of the Great Wei chariot and cavalry, commanding the tiger and leopard cavalry! I will guard Yecheng, what do you think?"
For a moment, the whole place was so quiet that the needle fell clearly and could be heard. However, at this moment, Cao Pi couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth. Chen Qun, Jia Xu and others all had a bitter face.
It is said that he is old and confused, and Cao Cao is a bit confused. What is the identity of the tiger and leopard cavalry? Cao Cao's personal army is a bit similar to the Xiongnu Xianbei on the grassland. Whoever the old Shanyu handed over his personal army to, he tended to make him the heir. Last year, Cao Cao had just officially appointed his second son, that is, Cao Pi, the eldest son after Cao Ang's death, as the prince of Wei, but now he wants to grant Cao Zhang the general of the chariot and cavalry to master the ice fist of Yecheng.
Does he think his son is addicted to fighting? Does his brother who doesn’t provoke him feel uncomfortable?
Cao Cao is indeed a bit old and confused, but what affected Cao Cao's decision was a long-term confusion about him, that is, he has always disliked Cao Pi's son!
From a political perspective, Cao Cao was a virtuous person. He used these aristocratic families that he had invested in and fought for and suppressed. However, in order to gain power, Cao Pi was able to lick all the major aristocratic families. Even when Xun Yu was sick, Cao Pi once wrote a letter to win the title of Xun Yu in an extremely stingy way, and went to visit him for most of the day.
In fact, after Cao Cao's death, the military garrison system he established began to change its flavor in Cao Pi's hands. Although he had been a little hard, he was still considered a guard of the country and completely became a slave to a noble family. The ninth-rank Zhongzheng system also completely determined the aristocratic family politics. Cao Pi's move to seek profit for himself became a fatal hidden danger to the Cao family.
In terms of personality, Cao Zhi was full of enthusiasm and aphrodisiac. Cao Chong was naturally intelligent and was called a figure at the age of ten. Both of them looked very much like Cao Cao's self-proclaimed glorious side. Unfortunately, one died early, and the other was really too energetic and had no political mind.
By the way, Cao Pi is actually like Cao Cao, but he looks like Cao Cao's dark side, sinister, cunning, vicious and ruthless. But these are the side Cao Cao deliberately wants to hide. When he sees Cao Pi, he can see the side he doesn't want to see. Of course, Cao Cao doesn't like this second son.
Now that Cao Zhang is so brave, enthusiastic, "like" himself, and has political strategy, Cao Cao is of course moved!
"Please take back your life!"
But just as the whole house was silent and everyone was planning their own countermeasures, it was Cao Zhang himself the first to object.
Just kidding, what's the point of Yecheng? Chang'an was so casual. Yecheng was like a big prison to him, and he had to be banned at night. What's the difference between letting him squat in Yecheng and finding a prison to lock him up?
He was kind, but the third brother was ignorant. Cao Cao's old face suddenly became gloomy, and his voice began to become a little colder, and he asked dullly.
“Why?”
"A real man should raise a three-foot green breeze to quell the rebellion of the country! Besides, my brother is the prince, and I will be the general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Where can I place my brother? Only when my brother is kind and respectful can I be human relations. If the prince wants to reward Ziwen, please give Ziwen the Grand Priest of the Western Regions and reopen the Grand Priest of the Western Regions! Ziwen is satisfied with the ability to protect the Western Regions for tens of thousands of miles. Ziwen really cannot do this general of the chariot and cavalry!"
This is actually a beautiful word. After dating with Wang Hou for a long time, Cao Zhang also broke out of the vision of the old gentry circle. He didn't want to go back to Yecheng to engage in those dark politics of intrigue.
But! These nonsense and filial words hit Cao Cao's pain point again!
Although Cao Zhi was deposed, the old guy didn't love this son anymore. The old guy could see clearly that Cao Pi was indifferent and ruthless. After he succeeded to the throne, Cao Zhi would not have a good ending as a former heir contender. Mrs. Bian also saw this. Although she didn't say it, she showed several sad feelings.
However, Cao Zhi really couldn't achieve great things. Cao Cao was absolutely worried about leaving the country he had finally won. This was not just a son's problem, but also about the future of his Cao family!
But now! Cao Zhang showed kindness and filial piety again. If he succeeded to the throne, the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi would definitely be able to survive a good end. Cao Zhang's nonsense wanted Cao Cao to change his position!
But the contradiction is here. Looking at the third kowtow, Cao Cao was really confused for a moment. However, in this kung fu, the second old costume, and even some of the costumes surpassed the first old costume, Sima Yi's old costume, Jia Xu finally took action.
After standing up from Chaolie and pressing against the entangled Cao Cao's ear, he whispered a few words in a hurry. Cao Cao was stunned, but the smile on his face spread out.
"Okay! Since you have such great ambitions from the third brother, then I will be as you mean, and I will be the Great Protectorate of the Western Regions and reopen the Western Regions Protectorate Mansion! May you pass on the name of my Great Wei to the alien races of thousands of miles!"
"Thank you, my son, thank you, your father!"
As long as you don’t have to go to Yecheng to "be imprisonment", Cao Cao sent him to Chang'an to clean the toilet, and Cao Zhang went there. Anyway, with his sister Cao Hongjie, Wang Hou, the brother-in-law, could not really let his brother-in-law clean the toilet. This is the great gubernatorial guardian of the Western Regions. He can go to the Western Regions with legitimate reasons and make friends with military achievements. If you are worried about it, Wang Hou, the unlucky brother-in-law, will do it! He is very happy.
However, even though Cao Zhang quit voluntarily, Jia Xu's secret words and the meaning that Cao Cao just revealed just now, Cao Pi's eyes were still staring at his younger brother's back like a poisonous snake!
