A few days later, Zhou Yang set out on the way to Xudu again.

This time, there was no mission in my place, nor was there any summons from Cao Cao. In addition to keeping Dongfang Shuo's promise, he also wanted to meet the young emperor who had already grown up.

Zhou Yang made an appointment with Dongfang Shuo. After the time and place of Xu Du, he left Luoyang alone with the Red Rabbit Horse.

Since asking Sima Yi out for help, Zhou Yang's heart has changed a lot.

But he still decided to make the matter of Peng Yiyuan and others killing Xiaoyao by mistake, and it would be a forever secret, perhaps this would be better for everyone.

Zhou Yang stood alone in the mountains and forests, looking at the Xudu, which was already in the size of the capital.

It was getting late at this time, so I speeded up and rode my horse to the city gate.

Just because Xu Du didn't tell anyone in advance when he came here this time, so when the guards let him go, Zhou Yang came to Cao's house alone.

This is his Xu Du's home, but he did not live in Luoyang most of the time, so Cao Hua never left Xu Du.

"Auntie Zhou is back?" An old servant of the Cao family recognized him and immediately went to report.

After Zhou Yang tied up his horse, he walked around.

Usually, there are many members of the Cao family, but it feels very quiet tonight. I don’t know where they are going, and I don’t know who the old servant is going to inform him.

After a while, Jia Xu and another handsome boy came from the railings not far away.

The young man still held the half-drink wine glass in his hand, and pointed with a pheasant fan in his other hand, saying, "You are brother-in-law Zhou Xianghou!"

Zhou Yang did not recognize the other party, but when he saw his extraordinary temperament without any secular dust, he vaguely guessed it in his heart and asked, "Is it Zijian?"

This son was indeed Cao Cao's third time. Jia Xu next to him nodded and said, "In addition to Zi Jian, which other young master of the Cao family would stay at home at this time?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask: "Which time is Mr. Jia referring to as 'this time'?"

Jia Xu shrugged and said, "It's rare that Zhou Xianghou is back. Let's go into the house and continue chatting!"

Under the leadership of Cao Zhi, the three of them arrived at a villa at the deepest part of Cao's house.

Zhou Yang was still curious about what day it was today?

And hasn’t Jia Xu been trapped by Cao Pi long ago? Why are he so close to Cao Zhi? Are you not afraid of being suspicious of Cao Pi?

However, he quickly dispelled these questions. When he was drinking and chanting poems with Jia Xu and Cao Pi under the Tongque Platform that day, Cao Pi used his brother Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River" to express his so-called "three achievements".

At that time, he didn't know which three of them were, but now he thinks about it.

First, Cao Pi took Cao Zhi's original works to sing his mood at that time, and hinted that Ma Teng's family could also exchange the sun in this way.

The second is to say that it is his own self-interest, and the third is to ask Jia Xu to deal with Ma Chao. He was presented to Cao Cao in Weinan through Cao Zhi's mouth, so that Cao Cao could take advantage of the conflict between Han and Ma to carry out the disagreement plan offered by Jia Xu.

Pushing Jia Xu to Cao Zhi like this seems to be what Cao Pi calls his selfish interests.

Because if Jia Xu became a person around Cao Pi, Cao Cao would not have no idea. When Cao Cao really planned to become an inheritance, when he asked Jia Xu, if he suggested Cao Pi, he would not have any weight.

On the contrary, if Jia Xu had always been by Cao Zhi's side, he would always be giving advice for Cao Zhi.

But at the critical moment, he said "selflessly" the hint of "I am thinking about Yuan Shao and Liu Biao", which denied Cao Cao's original idea of ​​abolishing the eldest son and establishing the young son.

Cao Pi can be said to have long-term thoughts and is extremely cunning.

Because Cao Zhi is indeed better than him in both literary talent and martial arts, Cao Cao also made him feel like he was breaking the traditional idea.

It was just that his behavior was laissez-faire, unruly and repeatedly violated the law, which aroused Cao Cao's anger.

His brother Cao Pi was quite pretentious and cunning, and Zhongxu gradually gained the upper hand in the struggle to establish a crown prince.

"Brother-in-law, please--" Cao Zhi's every move was even more like his father than Cao Pi. No wonder he was deeply loved by Cao Cao. "Today we don't talk about politics, we only talk about the wind and moon, especially Mr. Jia and his brother-in-law, who are both here, so we should cherish this moment and drink and have fun."

"It turns out that Zhou Xianghou was so polite when he returned to his home." Jia Xu smiled, "Then I will do it first."

"Can I ask a question?" Zhou Yang was suddenly pulled here to drink. The old and young man still said they wanted to drink and talk. He had already felt inexplicably strange. Now, seeing that they were all looking at him, he asked, "What day is today? Where did the people in the family go?"

"Brother-in-law!" Cao Zhi said with an unhappy expression, "Didn't you just say it? It's rare that you haven't seen Mr. Jia for a long time, so today I won't talk about politics, I just talk about the moon."

"I agree with Zijian's proposal, so Hou Zhouxiang should not be so disappointed!" Jia Xu said in response.

Zhou Yang laughed dryly a few times, and raised his glass with them and drank it all.

But I thought to myself, would there be so few people in Cao's house today be related to any political issues?

Cao Zhi interrupted his thoughts and said, "I heard from my elder brother that my brother-in-law's ability to recite poems and write poems is even better than him. Zixiu is looking forward to it very much, and I hope my brother-in-law will give me advice."

Jia Xu cheered on the fire and said, "That's for sure. Zhou Xianghou is not only very literary and martial, but also has both talent and talent!"

Zhou Yang quickly made some excuses and smiled bitterly: "But I really don't have such a good mood today. Maybe it's because I have been running around for days and exhausted on the road!"

Cao Zhi said in surprise: "Since that's the case, then brother-in-law... Let's take a break early!"

Jia Xu also frowned and said, "We have to drink and have fun another day."

Zhou Yang took his leave first, but in fact he had other plans in his mind.

After finally coming back to Xu Du, in addition to having an appointment with Dongfang Shuo, I also wanted to see where so many people in the Cao family went.

Also, what day is today.

But let’s go and see the little emperor first. If today’s special day involves related to the court, then the current emperor will definitely not be missing.

So he walked back to his room, sneaked out of the window, and then returned to the street.

I saw that there were a lot of people on the street tonight, and many people were rushing and wondering what to do.

Zhou Yang quickly grabbed someone and asked the reason, but the other party didn't want to pay attention to him.

I had to follow the direction everyone was going, and I hid among these people.

Tonight, the people of Xudu all lit torches and headed towards the imperial city.

This project has been constructed by the Four Devils of Mount Tai for more than ten years. The palace has been built, and the emperor has moved in.

However, the imperial city on the periphery has not been completely built, but it has been surrounded by people and has become a living wall of people.

The fire inside the human wall is shining with the sky, and there are at least tens of thousands of people inside.

"Duke Cao's policy of restructuring chaos first, and turning chaos into governance is the joy of the people." An official in his sixties stood in front of the stage and said loudly, "Why do you have to fight each other over the past decade?"

"Nonsense!" Among the tens of thousands of people around, a group of nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, and elders who represented the nobles responded, "In the past, Shang Yang changed and punished harshly, and was eventually punished by the chariot splitting. Fang Ping's wrath of the people. Now Cao Gong first set up a private position of prime minister, and then appointed Duke Wei himself. Will he be the king and emperor soon and cut off the interests of our gentry?"

"It's simply a slander." said the old official, "not to mention Shang Yang's reforms, it laid the foundation for Qin to unify the world in the future. Just by your words, you will be slandering people."

"You open your eyes and see the world!" Another official shouted, "Under Yuan Shao's lenient policy, the powerful were arbitrary, the relatives were annexed, the people were poor, and the people were poor and weak, rented out their taxes and sold their family wealth. Then look at the world governed by Cao Gong, what happened?"

"We don't care about the world, we only know that Cao Gong has all our interests shared with the farmers." The gentry shouted.

Zhou Yang, who was hiding among the masses, only recognized one of the officials as Zhong Yao, and the other one with the same status as him, should be one of Wang Lang or Hua Xin.

For the interests of scholars and farmers, such a big thing has happened to Xu Du.

Strangely, Cao Zhi and Jia Xu still had leisure time and stayed at home to drink and chat.

However, Cao Cao has not yet appeared. In addition to these two court officials here to calm the anger of the aristocratic people, other people also want to see what decisions the court will make about the land distribution issue under the pressure of the aristocratic people, which has attracted so many people to watch.

After all, relationships require the interests of every household, and even between individuals, and everyone pays great attention to them.

Someone on both sides continued to argue, and what they said was about the distribution of interests.

Zhou Yang knew that it would be meaningless to listen to it. It would be difficult to see the little emperor in the palace at this time.

I just feel that it is indeed as Wang Su said, and this may seem to have many hidden dangers, which makes people have to cause deep thought.

So he left quietly and ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Sure enough, there were also people there.

But it is different from those outside the palace. Most of them are subordinates of the generals around Cao Cao, and many of them look familiar.

"Isn't this Zhou Xianghou?" A soldier recognized him and hurriedly ran over and said, "When will I come back to Xudu, and I don't even inform you in advance?"

Zhou Yang hadn't recognized it for a while, but saw the other party making a face and suddenly said, "Hao Zhu?"

It turns out that this is the wizard who pretended to be a ghost during the plague.

Later, in order to save the person, Zhou Yang persuaded him to hand over the patient to Zhang Zhongjing for treatment, and he came to Luoyang to serve in the military. After more than ten years of twists and turns, he was transferred to Xudu again.

But he is still just a soldier, and he has not even had a captain or captain.

Although Zhou Yang found it strange, what he wanted to know more about is where Cao Cao is now.

Unexpectedly, Hao Zhu knew it and said confidently: "If Hou Zhou Xiang is trusting his subordinates, please follow me!"
