Chapter 245
"Xiao He, why did you buy so many things today?" Cao Shen asked in confusion: "I remember that you have always been frugal, and it was the first time you bought so much meat. Hey, tell me what's going on?"
Xiao He patted Cao Shen's shoulder and said, "It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!"
"What schoolbag is lost? You!" Cao Shen was a little dissatisfied and grabbed Xiao He's shoulder and said, "If you don't explain it clearly, don't think about cooking."
Xiao He said mysteriously: "You will know later. Come on, Cao Shen, please help me clean up such vegetables."
Cao Shen shook his head and said, "How can I deal with so much? You should do it yourself."
"Two pounds of pork, three pounds of dog meat, plus a little side dish, is this called too much?" Xiao He disagreed and said, "If you want to be lazy, just say it."
Cao Shen argued: "I am not a lazy person, but I am not the kind of person who is confused and can use it for others. If I don't explain it clearly, I will not make it. I can only eat it."
"Hey, you Cao Shen, are cheating." Xiao He pointed at Cao Shen and said, "It's a pity that we have been with each other for so many years. I have friends who come to visit me and I refuse to ask you to help you. You are a friend in vain."
Cao Shen said in surprise: "Do you have a friend? What's your name? Where are you from? You must be very amazing, otherwise you wouldn't have bought so much meat."
"That's more important." Xiao He nodded and asked, "Cao Shen, I'll ask you, if someone wants you to go to Xianyang, will you go?"
Cao Shen was a little confused and asked, "What are you doing in Xianyang? Isn't it okay now?"
Xiao He did not answer the question and said, "Just answer me, do you go or not."
Cao Shen replied: "That depends on what's going on. I will go to Xianyang for no reason, of course I won't go."
Xiao He gave Cao Shen a blank look and said, "How could it be for no reason? Let me tell you that I have already handed over and will go to Xianyang to be an official soon. If I recommend you to Xianyang as an official, will you go?"
Cao Shen suddenly realized and said, "I mean you are busy handover these days. It turns out that you have been promoted and want to be an official in Xianyang. Xiao He. Before the orders above have been released, you will hand over. This is not in accordance with the rules."
"Don't worry about this." Xiao He smiled and said, "You haven't answered me yet, are you going or going?"
Cao Shen refused to comment and said, "It depends on who will transfer me."
Xiao He shook his head and said, "Cao Shen, you can rest assured that you will definitely go. Don't worry about the rules, these are not a problem.
Don’t say that you are a minor official, even a commoner can be transferred to Xianyang.”
"Xiao He, when did you get to the top? Have you met a big shot? Which senior official is it?" Cao Shen felt something.
A series of questions. Xiao He did not answer any of them and said, "I tell you, if you miss this opportunity, your ability will probably be ruined in the loess. You should seize whether to go or not."
Cao Shen thought for a while and said, "You guy is better than me, and you are so convinced. What else can I say? Just go. But you have to tell me who is going to transfer us to Xianyang first?"
Xiao He reminded: "You can see it yourself."
"Hey, Xiao He, why are you going to do anything stupid?" Cao Shen complained.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and someone said from afar: "Is Master Xiao here?" It's not someone else, it's Fusu.
"You are here, you can take care of it yourself." Xiao He threw a sentence to Cao Shen, strode out, and said, "Xiao He is late to welcome him, please forgive me, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou. Mr. Chen."
Fusu smiled and said, "Zhengzhu Xiao is so serious."
"Xiao He is about to leave Peili. He has a heart of his hometown and has a little water and wine. He is planning to get drunk with you." Xiao He was very happy and said, "The three of you don't dislike Xiao He. Xiao He is very grateful for the arrival of the great master."
Zhou Chong smiled and said, "We are so honorable to be invited by Master Xiao, so we will bother Master Xiao."
Xiao He pointed to Cao Shen and introduced: "Three, this is my friend Cao Shen, and his talent and character are still acceptable. Therefore, I would like to invite Cao Shen to accompany you. If you have any negligence, please forgive me."
Cao Shen and Xiao He were both from Pei County. The relationship between them was very good. Later, they participated in the peasant uprising with Liu Bang. After the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, their relationship changed and became very bad.
However, Cao Shen is a talented and talented person, and before his death, Xiao He specially recommended Cao Shen to replace him as prime minister.
Cao Shen's talent is naturally far inferior to Xiao He, but his character is impressed. He knows that his talent is not as good as Xiao He, so he should keep the foundation and he will abide by everything Xiao He has formulated and will never change it.
If he was fine, he would go to drink. When someone went to see him and asked him to change the law, he would urge him to drink and get these people drunk and prevent them from speaking out.
This is the famous historical story "Xiao Gui Cao Sui".
It is said that "the new official takes office for three reasons." Not to mention the prime minister, even the new county magistrate takes office, he has to find trouble and do something to make trouble in order to show his ability. Cao Shen knew that he was not as good as Xiao He, but he did not change anything and just executed it. What's more, he still had a grudge between him and Xiao He. It is really impressive to be able to act like this.
Cao Shen stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Cao Shen has met Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Chen."
Fusu looked at Cao Shen for a while and saw that Cao Shen was tall and handsome, with a unique temperament. He liked it, and said, "The master Xiao is very talented. If you can get Xiao's praise for this, you must be extraordinary. Mr. Cao's talent must be unique. It is my blessing that I can know Mr. Cao.
”
"Mr. Li is too rewarded. Cao Shen is a minor official. How can he learn from the saying "I am humble," Cao Shen glanced at Xiao He and nodded slightly, which means that Zhou Chong and the other two are very good.
Zhou Chong was familiar with Cao Shen's affairs, and today he was very good at seeing the results. He said, "Zhou Nan was really lucky to meet Mr. Cao. Xiao Zhuzhu, his friends are extraordinary. You are so lucky. You have made such friends. It is so enviable."
"Where, where, Mr. Zhou has won the award." Xiao He said humbly.
Chen Ping said happily: "I will meet Mr. Cao today, please comfort my life, and comfort my life."
Cao Shen smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is too rewarded, Cao Shen is ashamed of taking responsibility."
Xiao He invited him and said, "Three, please come in the room."
"Please!" Zhou Chong and the others followed Xiao Cao and the others into the house.
Zhou Chong's heart is like a mirror, Xiao He's intention is not to drink. It is fake to invite the three of them to drink, and it is true to recommend Cao Shen.
Xiao He's ability to govern the country has been praised for his eternal praise, but his ability to recommend talents has also made future generations amazed. The most famous one is "Xiao He chases Han Xin under the moon". If he hadn't recommended him strongly, Han Xin would not have been used by Liu Bang.
