Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 9 This world is not black and white!

On the outskirts of Luoyang, Yulin Temple.

In the afternoon when the birds were singing, the sun was shining in the quiet courtyard, and a short young man was throwing stones into the pond, as if he was in a bad mood.

And behind him, a handsome young man pinched his waist.

"Ah, don't be like this, your father is not easy!"

The son who threw the stone was Cao Cao, and the waist-pinching boy behind him was naturally Liu Yu, who was comforting Cao Cao.

Speaking of which, from childhood to adulthood...the relationship between Cao Cao and his father Cao Song was not very good.

Since entering Taixue, the relationship has become more tense.

As for the reason, Cao Cao couldn't understand his father's collusion with those treacherous officials, and what made Cao Cao even more upset was his label of eunuch and grandson. In order to get rid of this label, Cao Cao fought silently every day since he was a child .

only…

How did Cao Cao know?Behind his struggle, how much did his father Cao Song pay for him?How much did you bear?
"You said my father, why should he be with this group of eunuchs! In my opinion, he has forgotten what it means to be loyal to the emperor!"

Cao Cao threw another stone vigorously.

The stone hit the pond, and the splashed water dripped on his helpless cheek.

If it is said that his father reprimanded Song Qi for returning the gift of "Marquis Yin Qiang"...

However, his father's words always lingered in his mind.

—— "The millions of dollars you borrowed? The hundreds of catties of gold? How much of it came from these greedy inks!"

This sentence was a deep pain to Cao Cao.

What's wrong with this world?
Do good, do good!Could it be that in the end... can only compromise with "evil"?

As a student of the Taixue, as a student taught by Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong, Cao Cao knew the meaning of the eight words "the emperor's assistant minister, the country's pillar" in the Taixue Stone Classic!
It is precisely because of Taixue that Cao Cao stood more firmly on the side of scholars, and sneered at eunuchs and eunuchs!
After all, Cao Song raised his son to be the one who hates himself the most!
"Ugh!"

Liu Yu sighed...

There is no way to talk about this matter, let alone enlightenment.

However, Liu Yu thought to himself, Ah Man, you can have fun secretly, the money that your father was greedy for ink was not hidden in the mansion in Chenliu County in the end.

And these, when you Chen Liu raised his troops to attack Dong Zhuo, you spent all of them!

We can't pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother!

"Okay..." Liu Yu comforted: "Think about how many troubles you have caused in the past few years when your father was from Sili Xiaowei to Da Honglu, and he didn't entrust his relationship to settle it in the end! The five-color stick...the time I helped beat Uncle Jian Shuo..."

Suddenly, Liu Yu felt that she had said too much, so she quickly shut her mouth.

Cao Cao refused to give up, and he was in his early twenties, the age when curiosity was strong.

"Five-color sticks? What's wrong with five-color sticks? Brother Yu...what are you hiding from me?"

Uh…

Liu Yu couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply said. "That time, when you killed Jian Shuo's uncle, it was your father who settled it for you. If your father hadn't paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, would they have easily let you go?"

This matter...is not recorded in ancient books.

It was the believers of the Five Dou Rice Sect in Luoyang City who told Liu Yu.

Jian Shuo's uncle died that time, and Cao Song spent 500,000 to settle it!
It's no surprise...

In the final analysis, it is not a big deal for the wealthy or powerful class to break the law or even kill someone, and most of them will reconcile in private!
In addition, Cao Song is the adopted son of Cao Teng, Marquis of Fei Ting, so the eunuchs in power now have to be called Cao Teng's lifelong masters.

"Master"'s adopted grandson made a mistake, and "Master" still has to give face.

Of course, for the "clean" Cao Song at that time, 500,000 was not a small sum!

It is precisely because of Cao Cao's huge compensation this time that Cao Song agreed to in-depth cooperation with Zhongchang Shi Cao Jie, power and money transactions, and wantonly amassing money.

It's just... Cao Cao doesn't know this layer.

As soon as he heard that it was his father who took the money, Cao Cao's face suddenly sank, and his face sank like water.

"So that's what I said!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he suddenly burst out of water after holding it underwater for half an hour, his chest heaved violently, and he was angry and annoyed.

"Brother Yu, why do you think my father gave him money? Killing Jian Shuo's uncle, I have the law first!"

Ugh…

Liu Yu shook her head helplessly. "Brother, I've told you many times, there are so many black and white things in this world!"

"Jian Shuo is the emperor's most valued eunuch. He holds the Xiyuan school's lieutenant army in his hand. If it wasn't for Cao Jie's sake, how could he swallow this breath? Besides, he was brought up by his uncle alone. Same father and son. Comparing heart to heart, if someone killed your father and gave you 200,000, would you agree?"

of course not!

of course not!

Liu Yu's words were like pouring a basin of cold water, extinguishing the burning anger in Cao Cao's heart at once.

He seemed to be able to appreciate some of his father's painstaking efforts.

only…

"Okay, don't mention him!" Cao Cao waved his hand stubbornly, and looked at Liu Yu again. "Now, the Song family's gift box has also been returned, can Brother Yu tell me the reason for this?"

the reason…

Liu Yu raised her eyes and recalled a little.

According to the records in the ancient books, it was only a few days since Empress Song fell from power!
And her younger brother "Yinqianghou" Song Qi was naturally implicated as well.

The reason, this is the emperor's mind, it's checks and balances, it's knocking mountains and shaking tigers, it's unclear, and it's not clear.

"You'll know in two days." Liu Yu continued solemnly. "Remember, don't get into trouble these days."

"Haha..." Cao Cao laughed. "Let's just go back to Dunqiu after staying in your Yulin Temple for two days. I don't have a chance to cause trouble!"

Liu Yu smiled slightly...

at this time.

"Big brother, your letter!"

Diao Xiu'er held a thin roll of bamboo slips and walked in front of Liu Yu...

Liu Yu took the letter, opened it and asked.

"Who sent it!"

"A big sister!" Diao Xiu'er replied obediently.

As the voice fell, the letter had already been unfolded, and just as it unfolded, Liu Yu was startled...

The content of the letter is very simple, just three words - old place!
Liu Yu scratched her head.

Eyes full of suspicion...

--she?Isn't she doing well in Longhushan, Jiangxi?Why did you come to Luoyang?

...

...

The sun shines on the nine ridges, and the Qianqiu Longsui Palace with double eaves is majestic. Jian Shuo is kneeling on one side of the hall, while the emperor Liu Hong is reading a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.

This was recorded by Jian Shuo, what the emperor's eldest son Liu Yu has done these years.

True…

There will be some mistakes, but most of the matters have been thoroughly investigated!

For this investigation, Jian Shuo mobilized at least a hundred of the elite Xiyuan Army.

finally…

After half a stick of incense, the emperor Liu Hong opened his eyes.

A name came out of his mouth.

"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!"

"This son who is very close to Yu'er is the son of Da Honglu Cao Song?"

"Exactly!" Jian Shuo answered truthfully.

"I remember, last month, it was Cao Cao who sent the tribute to Dunqiu County, which caused the whole big man to shake!"

"It's this person!" Jian Shuo replied, but his tone was a little colder.

"Interesting." Liu Hong got up suddenly, he took a few steps to the left, his back was facing Jian Shuo, but suddenly, he turned around.

"Jian Shuo!"

"Chen is here!"

"I remember that your uncle died at the hands of Cao Mengde!"

Uh…

When Liu Hong asked, Jian Shuo trembled all over.

As if, the emperor knows everything!

Yes…

A young emperor who could use eunuchs to kill powerful officials at the beginning of his ascension to the throne;
An emperor who can support the backbone of a big man in a desperate situation;
A monarch whose sky cannot fall as long as he is in power; how could he be blind?
Especially the people closest to him, he knows it like the back of his hand!
