Some officials who were vacillating between Cao Cao and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty trembled even more, for fear that their understanding of any sentence might be wrong, which would affect the lives of their whole family.
"Father!" Cao Gun said again.
Cao Cao still only responded with the word "Get out", and Cao Gun felt a bit cold...
He was about to be dispatched to Qufu, Shandong, but this was a good thing, and was refuted by Cao Cao in court.Only in the year of the monkey and the month of the month can he be pardoned, so come back to Yecheng?
Cao Gun turned around and faced Cao Xiong. With a "hum", he was about to stride out of the meeting hall.
Even if he was refuted, he didn't want Cao Xiong to see his jokes.
"Hello!" Cao Dagon was grabbed by the fifth son, Cao Xiong.
"What are you going to do?" Cao Gun replied angrily.
Cao Xiong smiled slightly, and said softly: "Father said 'get out', not go out, don't you take father and uncles seriously?"
Why do you think this sentence is so familiar?
It turned out that this was what Cao Xiong scolded him after he entered the hall late!
It is very appropriate to use it here for the first time.
Cao Xiong is not a person who does not take revenge.
Chapter 77
Cao Dagon had already killed Cao Xiong a thousand times, ten thousand times in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack in this meeting hall.
Looking back at his father, he saw Cao Cao glaring at him with round eyes.
Cao Gun's heart was completely chilled. He really couldn't figure out how he was so attached to his eldest son, Cao Pi, that he was punished to such a degree by such a good-for-nothing son who had been ill for five years!
Get out, do you really want to get out?
Seeing what Cao Xiong meant, if he didn't use rolling, he wouldn't let go of his hand.
But why, his arm is so powerful, even if Cao Gun tried to break free with his whole body, there was nothing he could do?
They are also 15 years old, so the power gap is too big, right?
Cao Pi scanned Cao Cao's face and observed Cao Xiong's expression. He knew that Cao Gun could not escape this disaster, so he stood up immediately.
"Brother Dagon, if your father tells you to get out, get out, don't let your father get angry here."
If we say, Cao Cao and Cao Xiong just let Cao Gun's heart cool down.
Then Cao Pi's words undoubtedly turned his heart into a pool of stagnant water!
How could he not know that he is an abandoned child now!And it's completely useless.
At the moment, I feel disheartened.
He wiped his tears with his hands, really fell to the ground, rolled out twice in this conference hall, then stood up, and quickly ran out of the conference hall.
Cao Cao's son, Cao Gun, actually got out of the meeting room?
Just because of the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong?
The ministers are calm on the surface, but they are very turbulent in their hearts, especially those officials who are vacillating, or those who are not so loyal to the Han Dynasty on the surface, quietly stand in line in their hearts!
Now, it's not safe to stand on either side of the rest!
Only standing behind Cao Xiong is the surest solution.
Cao Pi covered his mouth with his hands when he saw Cao Gun exit the meeting room, and heaved a long sigh of "ah". Now except for Cao Xiong, the rest of these young masters are just ostentatious!
You can't do nothing, can you?
Since he couldn't stop him, he had to show his loyalty.
Cao Pi stomped his feet, as if he was ruthless, and stood up.
"Haier's articles, self-knowledge is superficial, not to mention the fifth younger brother, even the younger brothers Cao Zhi and Cao Chong are far superior to Haier. If there are ministers standing behind Haier, wouldn't it be discrediting Haier?"
Speaking of this, Cao Pi took two steps back. "My child has self-knowledge, and his answer sheet will not be embarrassing in front of you adults."
When Cao Pi said this, all the ministers, especially the pro-Han ministers, were all shocked!
The second son actually gave up on his own initiative?
Then how do these pro-Han courtiers stand in line?
Of course, some civil servants and generals of Cao Cao's forces felt that the second son Cao Pi judged the situation and appreciated him very much.
There is a saying that those who know current affairs are heroes!
"Pi'er understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. I am pleased with my father. When the matter of going south to Jingzhou is decided, my father will work with you!" Cao Cao praised him, and at the same time promised Cao Pi an official position as a reward. General knowledge.
I have heard Cao Cao's words.
A sound of "Hey -" came from among a small group of ministers and workers.
The ministers and workers who were pro-Han sighed a long time. Now, Cao Pi's retreat almost announced that half of the title of Prime Minister Cao Cao has been obtained, and the other half can only be seen by Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun.
If he compromises, the only hope for all the Hanchens will be ruined.
It's just that Lord Xun Ling hasn't made a statement yet, and the civil servants and military generals of Cao Cao's direct lineage have quickly gathered behind Cao Xiong.
When Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan approached him, they patted Cao Xiong on the shoulder and boasted: "What a boy!"
Cao Xiong smiled and didn't answer.
This meeting called the examination of the answer papers of the seven young masters was one-sided.
In the entire meeting hall, two-thirds of the officials have gathered behind Cao Xiong.
Only a small group of civil servants are left, still hesitating!
The rest of the young masters naturally saw something strange.They all consciously retreated to the two sides.
In the conference hall, there are only a small group of ministers and workers who have not expressed their views.
And this small group of ministers and workers are all waiting for one person-Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun.
This military adviser of Cao Cao is a civil servant who has made great contributions to Cao Cao's assessment of the north.
At the same time, Xun Yu was extremely protective of the etiquette and law of the Han Dynasty. Whether to abolish the Sangong and restore the prime minister system, only he can turn things around.
Chapter 78
Xun Yu moved, he moved slowly, his eyes looked ahead, and finally stood at the end of the ministers behind Cao Xiong.
Xun Yu opposed Cao Cao's becoming prime minister.
But after thinking about it again and again, he still decided to stand on Cao Xiong's side first. At this juncture, it would be better not to persuade all civil and military officials.
Xun Yu had a trick in mind, and he planned to talk to Cao Cao about it in private.
It's just Xun Yu's move.
Cao Cao succeeds the prime minister, there is no obstacle!
After Xun Yu stood in line, it immediately caused a chain reaction.
The ministers who did not make a statement all stood behind the fifth son Cao Xiong.
Which of the seven answers is better?The coffin is concluded.
Cao Cao was about to boast about the fifth son, Cao Xiong, when he heard a loud noise from all the officials.
"Wait a minute!"
Everyone followed their gazes, and the speaker was Kong Rong, a doctor of the Taizhong and the head of the seven sons of Jian'an.
If you are not familiar with this name, you must be familiar with an idiom "Kong Rong makes pears", and the protagonist in it is this Kong Rong!
Kong Rong, the No.20 grandson of Confucius.Now he is conscripted by the imperial court as a general craftsman, moved to the Shaofu, and served as a doctor in the Taizhong.
It is not a small civil servant, among which "shaofu" refers to the department that manages private property and life affairs for the royal family.
Therefore, Kong Rong had a lot of contact with the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie.
Naturally, he also knew how difficult life was for the emperor under the hostage of Cao Cao.
None of the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak out for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the centuries-old etiquette of the Han Dynasty. Kong Rong stood up because he couldn't see it.
"Master Kong, do you have something to say?"
"Yes!" Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Kong Rong showed no fear at all.
In terms of literature and politics, he admired Cao Cao, but he would not give an inch in matters that violated Han Xiandi or the etiquette of the Han Dynasty!
Kong Rong pointed to the answer sheet of the fifth son Cao Xiong in his hand, and said:
"Cao Sikong's exam question is "Preparation Strategies for Going South to Jingzhou". What is the answer of the fifth young master? Don't be right! I don't know, Cao Sikong has become Prime Minister Cao. How will it help you go south to Jingzhou? Couldn't the name of the prime minister alone make Liu Biao flee?"
Kong Rong's words were sharp, but upon careful consideration, it was not unreasonable.
It's just that he thinks that it is unreasonable for Cao Cao to succeed the prime minister to go south to Jingzhou, but it doesn't mean that Cao Cao thinks so.
There are 1 reasons in Cao Cao's mouth, and he can associate the southward Jingzhou with the word prime minister.But at this time, Cao Cao could not refute.
His purpose was to be the prime minister, but he didn't want to grab it by himself, so at this time, other people had to stand up and argue with Kong Rong.
Otherwise, what he declared to the outside world, "Welcome the emperor to make orders but not ministers", wouldn't it really turn into "holding the emperor to order the princes"?
Among Cao Cao's advisers, there are not few sophistry talents.
For example, Yang Xiu, who has a good relationship with the fourth son Cao Zhi, is good at sophistry.
It's just that at this time, he was helping Cao Xiong to excuse, not to mention that Yang Xiu was still in the way of his father, Yang Biao, who was loyal to the emperor, so even if he wanted to refute, he couldn't stand up.
Most of the rest of the civil servants who were good at debate were friends with Xun Yu, and Xun Yu didn't speak out to help Cao Xiong argue at this time, so how could they dare to stand out.
What's more, the object of the rebuttal is Kong Rong, who is very fickle. He stood up rashly. It's okay to win, but if he loses, wouldn't it embarrass Cao Cao?
For a while, the question Kong Rong raised was a bit difficult to refute.
Cao Cao shook his head. At the critical moment, all the counselors fell silent tacitly.
Could it be that he, Cao Cao, was the only one to argue?
It's just that in this way, it will be a great disadvantage to his reputation.
Suddenly a childish but powerful voice came out.
"The fifth son thinks that Young Master Kong's mansion is making trouble for no reason!"
All the officials followed their reputation, and it was the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong who made the voice.
Yes!
Cao Cao suddenly came to his senses. In this meeting hall, there is really a guy who is not influenced by the officials and is good at sophistry. Isn't it the fifth son Cao Xiong?
None of the ministers expected that he, a 15-year-old boy, would refute the 55-year-old learned man Kong Rong in court.
"Little boy, tell me, why is this old man making trouble for no reason?"
According to Kong Rong's identity, he would never have the same knowledge as a 15-year-old boy, so he asked Cao Xiong first.
He would like to see if a son who can write and dare to write the word "Prime Minister" has real talent and learning?Or just a coincidence?
Chapter 79
Cao Xiong turned around and looked directly at Kong Rong.
"Uncle Kong Rong said that the answer sheet of the five sons was wrong. Does Uncle Kong Rong still remember 'Rong is four years old and can make pears'?"
"Rong is four years old, can you make pears?"
