Chapter 2689: Distracted and discriminated
As everyone read, although the booklets were not heavy, they were listed one by one, one by one. In recent days, some of the misconducted matters of the Cao family were listed, which made Cao Ding and several other elders turn pale. Some of them were sweating on their foreheads because of their direct relatives involved in it, and they couldn't help but feel panic.
『This is to abide by the Prime Minister's orders?" Xiahou Dun sneered, "Just asking casually, there are so many things that have happened. If you keep checking it carefully... Haha, the Prime Minister would never have thought that there were so many people doing such things under the banner of the Prime Minister, right?"
After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Ding's body trembled slightly.
Cao Ding was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I hope the general will understand clearly... This is not our original intention, but the Cao family is a large clan with many people, with different quality and different thoughts. Even if I want to take care of it, I can't take care of it..."
"Oh? Do you can't control it? Or don't want to control it? Or even indulge it in private?" Xiahou Dun smiled, "If you really want to control it, why have these Cao clans who have bullied men and dominated men and women and rampant things in the countryside not been punished yet? If you do something wrong but cannot be punished, how can you restrain your clans?"
Cao Ding frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
Cao Ding is old, not only is he lacking energy, but he also doesn’t have much motivation. When Cao Cao recognized Cao Ding, he also thought Cao Ding was safer than others and was not provoking trouble, but now Cao Ding’s personality has exposed his weaknesses in this matter.
The scene of Cao Ding's failure to live.
"Uncle," Xiahou Dun slowed down his tone, "Now the court is in turmoil. If the uncle and the family elders cannot support the prime minister and stabilize the rear, how can the prime minister fight a strong enemy with peace of mind? Compared to your instructions, the Cao family inscription is not a waste of nothing, nor is it a casual statement. I hope the uncle and the family elders will be cautious. "
Seeing that Cao Ding seemed to say something, Xiahou Dun waved his hand and said, "In the Xiahou clan, I will naturally go to restrain myself. All the affairs of the Cao clan are entrusted to my uncle and you... No matter what happened before, the most important thing is to deal with it first! The occupied land is returned to people, and the forced houses must be paid for. The Cao clan's children who have done the wrong things must be punished and made public!"
『In addition, immediately open a porridge shed outside Qiao County to provide free porridge for the poor... and also to build water conservancy and renovate roads. Don't be stingy and spend some money... Importantly, these things must be done to everyone know and the people must praise them...』
Cao Ding took a breath and said, "Will this... be...?"
Cao Ding's expression was a little unnatural.
If you invite people to buy the hearts of the people, of course there is nothing wrong with this matter being placed in the place of the emperor, but if it is on powerful officials, it will be a bomb that may explode at any time.
Xiahou Dun certainly understood what Cao Ding meant. He sighed, "Even if the Prime Minister doesn't do this, will it be peaceful and peaceful, and no one will make plans?"
『…』 Cao Ding was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, 『I understand...』
Cao Ding stood up, coughed, and said, "Everyone, since there is the Prime Minister's order and the generals are here in person, do you know what to do? I didn't supervise it before, and I blamed me for it! Now I reiterate the Prime Minister's order to rectify the family tradition! If you commit another offense, don't blame me for not being punished! Go and do things first according to the instructions of the Prime Minister and the General!"
Several old people representing each room stood up, greeted Cao Ding and Xiahou Dun, and then walked out of the hall.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Ding sent several family members to the door, then turned back and sat down again.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Ding knew in their hearts that they were all on the scene before, but now they were information that could only be conveyed in a small range...
The servants were driven out from afar. Xiahou Dun's confidant guard controlled the hall with sharp and serious eyes, as if even a fly would be killed with one knife.
The topics discussed next in the hall are indeed extraordinary.
"Uncle," Xiahou Dun whispered, "The Prime Minister was in full swing in spring and autumn, and the matter of this heir should naturally be determined by the Prime Minister!"
Cao Ding was stunned, "The general's intention is...
Xiahou Dun nodded slightly.
Cao Ding's eyebrows twitched, "So that's it..."
Cao Ding didn't quite understand why there were so many things suddenly. Now, after Xiahou Dun made up for the most important part, he immediately figured it out.
Qiao Pei Group is as important as Jingxiang Group to Fei Qian and is the most important pillar under Cao Cao. Therefore, there is no doubt that a unified opinion must be obtained within Qiao Pei Group.
However, under the influence of some people in Shandong, people within the Qiao Pei Group began to have different views on the issue of Cao Cao's heir.
After all, Cao Cao is not young anymore. Even if Xiahou Dun said that Cao Cao was still "in the prime of Spring and Autumn", in fact, once a person passes forty or thirty-five, his physical functions begin to gradually decline, so problems may occur at any time.
Many future corporate capitalists have stuck their age limit on this line, which is not completely unreasonable. After all, what capitalists want is "labor" rather than opening welfare homes.
This matter is a lukewarm joke, a story, and a topic of conversation after dinner. But now it is a big problem with Cao himself.
Cao Ang, who originally met the standards of Qiao Pei Group, died, and his vacant position became a cream in the eyes of many people. When Cao Cao ascended the throne of prime minister, he became a success and gained power with his relatives and friends around him. If he could not catch Cao Cao's train, wouldn't he have the next "Soul number"?
Whose car to get in and what position to get in is a big question.
People in Shandong prefer young people, which is the tradition of the Han Dynasty. You can generally understand by looking at how old the Han emperors were in succession. Even the current emperor Liu Xie was not elected because he was younger and more likely to be pushed?
To a certain extent, Cao Cao's many descendants naturally brought about this inevitable contradiction.
Even if Cao Cao clearly made Cao Pi his heir, could this problem be avoided?
No matter how good Cao Pi does, it is still inevitable. Don’t forget how Cao Ang died?
At present, Cao Cao did not specifically emphasize his heirs, but brought several children with him to teach him. It was mostly because Cao Cao learned the lesson of Cao Ang's death. Of course, it can also be said that Cao Cao was too suspicious and believed that everyone wanted to harm him.
Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice: "At this moment, the Xiahou family of Cao must not be in chaos! Uncle, your responsibility is very serious..."
Cao Ding took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
There are many things that need not be said too clearly. After all, Cao Ding has also been in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, and he is also very clear about some things.
After a moment, Cao Ding looked at Xiahou Dun and said, "If... if there is someone in the clan... what should we do?"
Xiahou Dun was also silent for a while, and then said, "If someone seeks death, he will let him go! But no matter what, you can't be confused!"
The Cao family motto is like a warning. If you still don’t understand it or pretend to be a scheming person, then you really have to do it next...
After the matter was told clearly, Xiahou Dun got up and left. He had to go to Xiahou's side.
Cao Ding sent Xiahou Dun out of the Cao family courtyard, then stood outside the courtyard gate, watched Xiahou Dun go away, and pondered for a long time. He thought Xiahou Dun was really good at taking action, after all, Xiahou Dun had already taken tough measures against his children before. This time, I wonder how many unlucky people there will be in the Xiahou clan?
I'm afraid it's either Xiahou Dun coming, it's just for...
Cao Ding sighed slightly.
There are some mixed balls among the Cao clan, and there are more in the Xiahou clan.
After a while, Cao Ding turned around, paused at the gate of the courtyard, and then did not walk back, but turned to the Cao family's Nanyuan.
In the Nanyuan, although Cao Ding sent someone to spread the message before, asking Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong not to bully others, if Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong were willing to obedient children, nothing would have happened to bully people!
Therefore, when Cao Ding arrived in Nanyuan, Cao Sheng's clamoring voice still came from it...
"Just because you have nothing to raise and don't have any mother's love, you actually want to be on duty! Don't look at your identity? If you want to climb so high, don't you be afraid of falling to death?"
"What is duty? Do you still need me to teach me this? The Prime Minister said, "I should be humble and respectful to you." Have you ever asked you, a guy, to fight for power and profit? Ah?!"
"Besides, your parents die, but you don't even think about it. You will be the one who will be buried with your parents first. The fallen leaves return to their roots. Just think about climbing. Are there any filial sons like you? If your parents are alive, you will not be angry with you to death?!"
Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong, you and I, spoke very happily, and your voice was loud, and you could hear it all the time.
As children of the Cao and Xiahou clans, Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong are both pretty good in their robes and jade pendants. If they hadn't spoken badly, their faces were ferocious and their attitudes were domineering, they would have looked like a handsome young man.
But the two of them are pointing fingers and talking to each other's parents, but it makes people feel uncomfortable.
In fact, Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong really have any dissatisfaction with Cao Ying. Do you have such a big resentment?
Not.
Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong were actually dissatisfied with "poor relatives" like Cao Ying. These "poor relatives" came to eat and drink, but they had no objection, just thought it was just feeding a few more dogs. Anyway, for people like Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong, their dogs were better than ordinary people.
But these "dog guys" actually stood up and competed with them for the few positions in the career path, so they would definitely not be able to bear it!
"Haha, if you really lack that amount of money and can't survive, you can be more pragmatic. Why be too ambitious and unhappy? Just tell me, if there is no other thing, you can still pay you a little money... No matter how bad it is, there is still a manager in my farm. If you think it's appropriate, just take office directly! Don't say that I don't take care of you!"
Although Xiahou Hong seemed to have promised Cao an errand, if Cao Yingzhen agreed, it would be equivalent to selling himself to Xiahou Hong, and he changed from a son in the Cao family to Xiahou Hong's servant.
Although many people think it is great to be a wealthy family servant, but they don’t look at the shops in the streets and alleys. Those wealthy family servants are very powerful, and they have enough food, clothing and expenses. Isn’t it justified to use money to work for others?
In fact, the guy who instills this concept will say how many slaves died in the wealthy family? Will he say that he can be beaten, scolded, bullied and trampled on him? Will he say that not only is a slave for a generation, but he has children from generation to generation, and they are all slaves?
No, just like some self-media in later generations, their mouths are crooked and their butts are crooked. They are just advocating for wealthy servants, saying that their servants also have a happy life, otherwise how could they lure more people to be slaves?
So once Cao Ying feels that the small profit in front of him is good and he is greedy and takes it, then his life will be over.
When Cao Ding arrived outside the gate of Nanyuan, he heard these words from Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong...
If it were before, although Cao Ding would have thought Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong were a bit arrogant and domineering, he would not have thought anything wrong with it. After all, direct subordinates are direct subordinates, and side branches are side branches. Even if Cao Ding said he should treat them equally, but in fact...
There is still a big difference between direct and side branches.
But now, Cao Ding has to worry about it.
After entering the courtyard gate and seeing several parties involved, Cao Ding felt generally clear.
There is nothing else, Cao Ying's appearance is really...
Excellent quality.
Cao Ying in front of him had beautiful eyebrows, delicate facial features, fair skin. If he hadn't had Adam's apple and no convex figure, he would have been considered a woman with a red and swollen face and scattered hair and clothes. He was obviously beaten.
It is precisely because Cao Ying looks like this that he is targeted by Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong and joined forces to humiliate Cao Ying, hoping to make Cao Ying retreat. After all, in Shandong, there are many people who like male sex. Who would have liked Cao Ying's "appearance"? Will he crawl onto their heads at that time?
Faced with the humiliation of Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong, Cao Ying lowered his head slightly and bowed slightly. He seemed humble and looked like he was reluctant to do so, but he didn't say anything. However, he gave people a feeling of stubbornness and disdain.
Cao Ding saw it and shook his head slightly.
I have heard that Cao Sheng and others are a bit awkward, but they don’t know how powerful they are. But they are the same when they see each other today. There are some specialties in oppressing people. It will only make people despise others for no reason. In addition, Cao Ying doesn’t look like a weak and timid person. He didn’t kill this person at once, so he will leave some hidden dangers in the future...
"What's going on?"
Cao Ding walked out and asked in a deep voice.
When Cao Sheng and other people saw that Cao Ding was coming, they hurriedly bowed and bowed.
"How dare you ask me if you always ask, just some small things, small things..." Cao Sheng showed a bright smile and bowed to Cao Ding.
Xiahou Hong, who was standing beside him, bowing and raising standards in every move, without any slightest sign of the lake. "It's just a quarrel, it's all okay now, it's okay..."
Cao Ding nodded slightly, then turned his eyes to another person involved, "Where are you? You said."
Cao Ying was silent for a long time before nodding slowly, "It was indeed just a quarrel, and nothing big happened."
Cao Ding nodded, and then said to the children of the Cao Xiahou clan: "The Prime Minister has an order that all the children of the Cao Xiahou clan must remember their family precepts, be cautious in their words and actions, and not be arrogant! If anyone disobeys or disobeys, he should be severely punished! You must understand it carefully, and do not be perfunctory! But remember them all?!"
Cao Sheng and others all said it was.
Cao Ding waved to Cao Ying, "You come with me."
Cao Ying was stunned for a moment and then followed.
Turning over the courtyard gate and walking through the corridor, Cao Ding didn't say anything along the way, and Cao Ying followed silently.
After arriving at the hall, Cao Ding asked Cao Ying to wash up first, then sat in the hall and thought for a while. After Cao Ying sorted out his embarrassing form, Cao Ding said to Cao Ying: "I am going to take you to Yecheng, I wonder if you are willing?"
Cao Ying was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "Boy is willing."
『Okay!』 Cao Ding clapped his hands, 『Then you go back first and prepare for one or two, and I will have someone send you to Yecheng tomorrow!』
Cao Ying surrendered.
Cao Ding sat in the hall for a long time and sighed, "It would be great if this person was just like this... This time, I can't say... Someone can save him, but some can't..."
Cao Ying stayed in Qiao County. Cao Ding could protect him once, but he couldn't protect him twice. This time Cao Ying could bear it. What about the next time? If he fought back, he would die even worse. If he didn't fight back, his spirit would be beaten away, so it would be better to go to Yecheng.
After all, Cao Pi and others were all in Yecheng, and Yecheng was also effectively like the academy established in Chang'an. Therefore, it is not a big problem for Cao Ying to enter the academy to study with the name of Cao, but whether he can make a name for himself and gain a higher stage depends on Cao Ying's own ability.
At the same time, Cao Ying left, and Cao Sheng and Xiahou Hong naturally had one sign of attack...
But the question is, do these domineering guys really understand that some things are not as beautiful as they imagined, and they themselves are not as powerful as they imagined?
Although Xiahou Dun said it seriously, Cao Ding was not sure about it.
If we really deal with it strictly and follow the bastard things done by those bastards, then there will be many children in the Xiahou family of Cao. Even if they escape the death penalty, they will have to be skinned!
Cao Ding hesitated a little. Although he thought Xiahou Dun might be trying to play the real thing, there were so many people after all. The so-called "law does not punish the public", could Xiahou Dun really be able to do it?
"Come!" Cao Ding called the servant, and he asked the servant to remind Cao Sheng. Although Cao Ding felt that Cao Sheng might not be able to listen, he had fulfilled his responsibilities as an elder.
Chapter completed!
