Chapter 156
When Wang Ji died, Cang Ji became a betrayal dog, and no one would protect him. Those people were originally looking at Wang Ji's face and gifts, and who would care who Cang Ji was.
If Wang Ji had died a few days earlier, he might not even have a chance to be released from prison and died directly in the prison of Tingwei.
Cao Miao asked him to write a letter of repentance, but he knew it was a pit, but he could not refuse. He originally wanted to return to his hometown, be a man with his tail between his legs, and wait for a turnaround, but Wang Ji's death made him realize that Cao Miao would not give him such a chance.
In the face of life and death, he chose to endure humiliation and live without a lifetime, otherwise he would not have stood here for so long.
After writing the repentance, Cao Miao did not mean to let Cang Ji go. "My father was imprisoned in Yecheng because you were imprisoned in Yecheng, and you must repay this debt. From now on, you will be working as a janitor in my yard. My father was imprisoned for a few days, and you will be able to stay for a few days. After the expiration, we will be reconciled, and you will go wherever you like."
Although he felt that being a choreographer was embarrassing, the result was much better than what Cang Ji had expected. He had almost no hesitation and kneeled down to thank him.
"Yuan Gong, what do you think?"
Xiahou Ji also felt that Cao Miao was generous and nodded with satisfaction. Cang Ji immediately thanked Xiahou Ji, and then took him out by Lao Song, put on the short robes of a servant, immediately took him to work, and started to sweep him from Cao Miao's courtyard.
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, although his movements were unfamiliar, his attitude was very serious. Cao Miao thought about it and suddenly said to Xiahou Ji: "Yuan Gong, what do you think of this person?"
Xiahou Ji pondered for a moment. "Talent but not virtue."
"I remember Emperor Wu's orders to seek talent, which mentioned that he did not seek both virtue and talent, but only wanted to help those who were difficult."
Xiahou Ji smacked his lips, a little embarrassed. The reason here is not complicated, but there are many problems involved. Should he explain to Cao Miao and how much Cao Miao can understand, he was not sure. After weighing the pros and cons, he said carefully: "Emperor Wu also said that governing peace and virtue, and rewarding functions if you have any questions..."
Cao Miao sniffed, raised his legs, and scraped his feet with the palm fan in his hand.
Xiahou Ji blushed and closed his mouth awkwardly. The world was divided into three parts. Zhuge Liang invaded the border and the West at the beginning of the year, and Sun Quan had just ambushed Cao Xiu and the East. At this time, it was indeed a bit self-deception.
"Yuan Gong, you said, why do scholars still have few gentlemen in the world after reading so many books of sages, but there are many hypocrites?"
Xiahou Ji was speechless.
"Because they are too ideal." Cao Miao shook the fan and said slowly: "How have the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Three Dynasties ruled? Even if there is, it is probably not what the book says. They have no doubts, accepted them in full, and then compared them in front of them, and naturally felt that they are not as good as before, and then criticized them widely. This is not right, that is not right, only by letting them rule."
Xiahou Ji thought something and pondered without saying a word.
Cao Miao took a sip of water and continued, "But if they really let them rule, you will find that they are either incompetent and can do nothing. Or they are even more corrupt than those corrupt officials. As long as they are beneficial to themselves, they can do anything shameless. As for the books of the saints, they have all been read into the dog's belly."
Cang Ji, who was sweeping the floor in the yard, felt ashamed, but could only lower his head and pretend that he didn't hear anything.
Cao Miao smiled. "Wang Ji and others are just little witches. Those who occupy the positions of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and hide behind the scenes to make trouble are the real great witches. If these people are not eliminated for a day, the Great Wei Dynasty will be unstable for a day. When I grab their tails, hehe, I must be good-looking."
After hearing this, Cang Ji couldn't help but look at Cao Miao. Is this young man really a madman? He looks more sober than anyone else. What am I, what is Wang Ji? Those who hide behind the commander are real hypocrites. Wang Ji died, and he was forced to become a servant of the Yongqiu Palace. However, those people were unscathed and still became moral gentlemen respected by everyone. They may even die well, and will be admired by the world.
"Yunliang..." Xiahou Ji wanted to speak but stopped. Cao Miao accused the Three Dukes and Nine Lords of being hypocrites, and this was a big blow. If he talked privately, it would be okay. In front of Cang Ji, if this spread out, it would have a big impact.
"I won't talk anymore, I won't talk anymore, I'll get angry when I mention them." Cao Miao also put aside the topic and turned to ask about Xiahou Xu's movements.
Xiahou Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but Cang Ji felt a little lost. He really wanted to hear how Cao Miao was preparing to deal with those people. He could not take the benefits by those people, and he would bear all the consequences. He should die together.
Suddenly, Cang Ji felt that the repentance was not written in depth enough, so he should have polished it.
Cao Miao talked with Xiahou Ji about the upcoming Cao Zhuan. Xiahou Ji reminded Cao Miao that Cao Zhuan was born with divine power and had been fighting with others since he was a child. This time he heard that Ah Hu was very skilled in martial arts and would definitely be a fierce battle to come for the competition.
Cao Miao laughed and said nothing. He was very grateful to Xiahou Ji for his reminder, but he felt that Xiahou Ji was too nervous. Strong strength is a necessary condition for masters, but not sufficient conditions. There is still a considerable distance between strong men and masters, or there are only two species.
Besides, in terms of strength alone, Ah Hu is not a lie.
Confidence is self-confidence, and what should be prepared must be prepared. Cao Miao asked Xiahou Ji about Cao Zhuan's achievements, recorded the list of those who had fought with Cao Zhuan, and turned around and asked Shi Caiying to inquire.
After saying that, Xiahou Ji stood up and said goodbye. He told Cao Miao that he would not come again soon. The late emperor had the order to ban the royal family and princes. Although His Majesty had some slackening after ascending the throne, Cao Zhi, the King of Yongqiu, was favored and no one dared to sue it at the moment, but the ban was still there. This time he came, he had prepared a case with Zongzheng Temple in advance. It was very troublesome to record, and it would be better to leave records.
Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Ji and sighed in his heart. This is the person who does big things. Compared to Xiahou Ji, Xiahou Xu and others are really too confused to protect themselves. They pretend to be crazy and test wildly on the edge of life and death. They can only walk one way to the dark, but there is no need to implicate Xiahou Ji.
“Have you ever thought about where to go?”
Xiahou Ji understood it. He had always wanted to go to the battlefield to command the troops, and he would not have a chance to train when he stayed in the capital. "I want to go to Guanzhong. Xiandafu (Xiahou Yuan) had many old subordinates in Yongliang. Maybe he could remember the old feelings and help him."
Cao Miao's heart moved. "Then you can find a way to go to Chen Cang, maybe you will have a chance to make contributions."
