Three Kingdoms: Do you call this a weak counselor? !
Chapter 85: Ask the court for Zhang Cheng’s title!Become a Marquis!
Chapter 85: Ask the court for Zhang Cheng’s title!Become a Marquis!
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said this with great interest.
If it were anyone else, Cao Cao would have already prepared to betroth his daughter to Zhang Cheng.
The post of governor of Chenliu was also given to Zhang Cheng.
They have already given Zhang Cheng such a great honor, and now they are actually preparing to give Zhang Cheng an even greater honor. They will definitely be very surprised and shocked.
But Xun Yu was not surprised at all.
On the contrary, there was a faint smile on his face.
He looked at Cao Cao and said:
"My lord, why don't you and I write down the big surprise that my lord wants to give to Mr. Gao Jiu on the palms of our hands.
Then check each other to see if they are the same.
How does my lord feel? "
Cao Cao's character was changeable, he was the most suspicious and the most unruly.
Because he was touched by some things, it was he who burst into tears, and it was also he who was full of ambition and pride.
Boss Cao is the kind of person who likes to play some little games and get some little surprises even when he has nothing to do.
So he agreed to Xun Yu's proposal without much thought.
Immediately, they took their pens, dipped them in ink, and wrote in the palms of their hands.
After writing, they put down the pen and looked at each other.
Open your writing hand toward the other person and let them see it.
After the two of them saw the words on their respective palms, they couldn't help laughing.
Cao Cao smiled and said:
"As expected, Wen Ruo is the one who understands me best."
Xun Yu smiled and said:
"It's not that I understand my lord, but that I know that my lord is very generous and dares to do things that ordinary people don't dare to do.
It was also Gao who made too great a contribution this time.
With just these two things, Gao Jie was dismissed, which was a bit too contemptuous of Gao Jie.
It's not enough to demonstrate his achievements this time. "
Cao Cao laughed and said:
"You have guessed my thoughts so thoroughly, and you still say you don't understand me."
It turned out that Cao Cao and Xun Yu had two words written on their palms.
Fenghou!
Cao Cao was going to ask the court to grant Zhang Cheng the title of Marquis.
You know, no one in Cao Ying is a marquis now.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cao was seeking to make Zhang Cheng a marquis.
It can be seen from this that Cao Cao loves and values Zhang Chengzhi.
“It’s just that it’s not too easy to be granted the title of Marquis this time.
This time, Gao killed Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou.
Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, was sent to Yuzhou by Li Jue and Guo Si.
Now the court in Guanzhong is controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si.
Under such circumstances, the lord tried to ennoble Mr. Gao Jiu, and the two thieves would probably block it. "
Cao Cao said:
"No matter how difficult it is, I still have to give Mr. Gaojiu his title.
Please seal it for Mr. Gaojiu!
If this matter is not settled, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
It is not enough to show the merit of high achievement. "
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun Yu nodded to show that he understood.
After talking like this, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said:
"Actually, I have another purpose for asking you to do this for me.
I wonder if Wen Ruo has guessed it? "
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu seemed a little surprised.
After thinking for a while, he tried to give a few answers. Cao Cao smiled and shook his head.
After a while, Xun Yu shook his head and said:
"Please make it clear, my lord, I really don't know."
Even Xun Yu couldn't guess his deeper meaning.
Although Cao Cao could still control his facial expression, his heart was already filled with joy.
He looked at Xun Yu with a smile and said:
"The purpose of this is actually to take this opportunity to go to Guanzhong and have a good look at what the situation is in Guanzhong.
Make certain contacts with the people over there in Guanzhong.
Take a look at Li Jue and Guo Si, and see how good they are.
Prepare to welcome the emperor's departure from the east.
Cao Cao has always been thinking about what Zhang Cheng, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai had discussed before returning from the east.
After all, he can easily know how beneficial it is.
Follow the emperor's order to not be a minister!
As long as the emperor is in his hands, this will become his sharp sword.
It has legitimacy and legitimacy.
In the next battle, he will naturally be on the advantageous side.
Under this situation, people like Yuan Shao also felt somewhat wrong when facing themselves.
To welcome the emperor back eastward, this is definitely a brilliant move!
And excluding all kinds of profit considerations, Cao Cao still had some different feelings for the big man.
It was also true that he wanted the Emperor of Han to live a better life with more dignity on his side.
I heard that Li Jue and Guo Si were both rough warriors.
Over there in Guanzhong, the life of Emperor Liu Xie was extremely uncomfortable, and he had no dignity as an emperor.
He was a man who once aspired to be a general of the Han Dynasty in conquering the West.
See the emperor of Han Dynasty.Being humiliated in this way actually made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, I also want to change some things through my own efforts.
"I never thought that my lord would have such deep meaning, this is indeed a great opportunity!
The master's talent is admirable! "
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with an expression of admiration.
Hearing what Xun Yu said, Cao Cao suddenly felt very comfortable, as if he had drank nectar.
This feeling that even Xun Yu can't guess his own thoughts is really great.
After discussing some matters with Xun Yu here, Cao Cao said goodbye to Xun Yu and left here.
Looking at Cao Cao's leaving figure, Xun Yu showed a smile on his face.
Then he shook his head gently and went back to handle his own affairs without saying much.
Next, Cao Cao planned to summon Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia together.
Ask them both, what specific ideas they have for welcoming the emperor's return to the east?
It is really not an easy task to welcome the emperor back!
……
"Husband, are you really prepared to give Zhang Cheng another concubine?"
At night, after a storm, Mrs. Bian nestled beside Cao Cao and looked at Cao Cao asking.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her pretty face was red at this time, with some sweat on it.
It looks like a pink lotus with some dewdrops in the morning, extremely bright and beautiful.
Cao Cao nodded and said:
"I do have this idea. For men, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines.
This Gaojie is still a person with such great talent.
It can be seen that he is really interested in this aspect.
I'm definitely going to do whatever I want here.
What if I get lured away by someone else? "
When Mrs. Bian heard this, she bit her red lips and said:
"It's just...what you said, husband, is correct, but...but if we want to take a concubine, we shouldn't have to wait until our daughter marries him.
How can our daughter give him a concubine before she marries him?
This...is against the rules. "
Cao Cao said: "I also know that this is not in line with the rules.
But rules are dead and people are alive.
When talking about rules, you also need to look at the actual situation before talking about it.
It is obvious before our eyes that it will take at least six or seven years for our daughter to marry Zhang Cheng.
Six or seven years later, our daughter is still young, so she can naturally wait.
But it was the height of his career, so it was okay to ask him to wait for a while.
Can he really wait six or seven years?
I'm afraid I can't wait.
What's more, Gaojiu's body is still so good, and his energy and blood are extremely strong.
He is an invincible general on the battlefield.
He also practices Wu Qin Xi every day to keep fit.
You see, people like me often march and fight, and their bodies are exhausted. Now after practicing Wu Qin Xi, my combat power has greatly increased..."
Hearing Cao Cao say this, Mrs. Bian's face, which was already red, couldn't help but blush again.
He stretched out his hand on the soft flesh around Cao Cao's waist and twisted it.
With infinite shyness.
Cao Cao chuckled, but kept saying: "Tell me, Mr. Gaojiu, he is in extremely good health.
Under such circumstances, how can one endure it?
If we don't find a concubine for him, will he still not know how to do it himself?
Instead of doing this, it would be better for us to take the initiative to find a concubine for him and send it to him.
In this case, the initiative is on our side.
And it can also make Mr. Gaojiu think of us well.
Both men.I know this best. "
These words.Boss Cao was speaking righteously, but Mrs. Bian was speechless for a moment.
However, thinking that his daughter was not married yet, he gave Zhang Cheng a room as a concubine and sent her to him.
She still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she always felt that this was not appropriate.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke again:
"What your husband said is indeed good.
But...but there is one thing that is difficult to solve.
That is to say, in the past few years, Na Gao and his concubine could have given birth to several children.
The baby is a daughter, so everything is easy to talk about.
But if he is a son, the eldest son of a concubine will be older than the eldest son of a legitimate son, which is not good after all.
If nothing else, you only need to look at the current brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to get this conclusion.
Yuan Shao was just a concubine, but now he was even more powerful than Yuan Shu, his direct son.
Moreover, there was a quarrel between the two brothers. The brothers turned against each other and divided the Yuan family.
If the two of them don't get into trouble like this and use their strength in one place, who is the opponent of the two brothers in the world today?
The Yuan family must be the only one. "
Cao Cao then smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Madam, you only know one thing about this matter and don't know the other.
People like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu cannot be compared and used as examples.
The reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were like this was because Yuan Ji, the eldest son of the Yuan family, was beheaded by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei.
Yuan Ji was appointed by the Yuan family, and the next head of the family was the true heir of the Yuan family.
As long as Yuan Ji does not die, the Yuan family will not be able to divide their families. After all, Yuan Shao is just a younger brother and cannot cause trouble.
I seriously doubt that this was actually done by Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others.
The purpose is to prevent the Yuan family from being united together.
Of course, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were still in Luoyang when Yuan Ji had not escaped.
He dared to publish a statement with great fanfare, and gathered soldiers from all over the world to jointly attack Dong Zhuo, in order to anger Dong Zhuo.
Thus, with the help of Dong Zhuo, we can eliminate Yuan Wei, the previous head of the Yuan family, and Yuan Ji, the most reasonable heir to the Yuan family..."
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Mrs. Bian was stunned for a moment and said:
"Husband, this...is this a little too dark?
The members of the Yuan family are all from a top-notch family and are well-read in poetry and books.
Yuan Shao, in particular, was famous for his filial piety.
Over there in Luoyang, he had been in mourning for six consecutive years, and his reputation as a filial piety was known to the world.
How could he do such a dark thing? "
When Cao Cao heard this, he curled his lips and said with some disdain:
"Yuan Shao is always good at putting on airs and trying to put money on his face.
His so-called filial piety is all to improve his reputation and gather strength.
Thus having more power, that's all.
Those are just some of his methods.
I, a great man, rule the world with filial piety, and it is absolutely normal for him to do so.
These were all done for others to see, and he also gained tangible benefits from them.
In the face of huge interests, it is normal for Yuan Shao to do some darker things.
If not for Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji, they would have died at the hands of Dong Zhuo.
It is simply impossible for him, Yuan Shao, to be as shining and powerful as he is now.
Some things cannot be seen only on the surface. If you look at the surface, you will often be confused by all kinds of dazzling things.
Madam, you only need to remember one thing, and that is to see who makes the most profit and who gets the most benefits.
The essence can often be seen at a glance.
Although I cannot say that it will definitely be correct, at least [-]% of it is correct. "
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Mrs. Bian instinctively felt that there was something wrong with what Cao Cao said.
These words were contrary to her knowledge.
After all, Yuan Shao and others come from top-notch wealthy families, and they are all extremely knowledgeable and well-educated people.
But if I think about it more carefully, I feel that what my husband Cao Cao said is very right.
Don't worry, this might actually be the truth.
"In addition to these, another reason why Yuan Shao has his current status is that he was adopted into Yuan's family room.
Became a legitimate son.
Although he is still a bastard in essence.
But after such operations, he was as if he was the legitimate son of the Yuan family in terms of legal principles.
Although in the eyes of many people, his status as a bastard will not change.
But from a legal perspective, it makes sense.
Of course, there is another reason besides this.
It is Yuan Shao who is indeed very capable.
Compared with him, Yuan Shu, the legitimate second son, was far behind, and he was not Yuan Shao's match at all.
This situation is not surprising.
I say this just to let my wife know that a bastard is a bastard and will never be compared to the eldest son.
Even if we are here, we have already married Gao Jiu into a concubine and gave birth to an heir for him, but there is no need to worry about this aspect.
Things like what happened to the Yuan brothers are almost impossible to repeat. "
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Mrs. Bian no longer tried to dissuade him.
Because she knew she couldn't persuade her.
Of course, after Cao Cao's explanation, she also understood that her husband was indeed right to do this.
You can't break up with a talented person like Zhang Cheng just because of this matter.
As a woman, she knew very well what kind of virtue this man had, and there was really no way to stop this matter.
Blocking is worse than sparse.
If it's a year or two, you can still wait.
But now it will take at least six or seven years for my own daughter to marry Zhang Cheng, which is indeed too long.
"It's just...if my husband is looking for a concubine for Mr. Gaojiu, who would be more suitable?"
After hearing Mrs. Bian's words, Cao Cao frowned slightly, looking a little distressed.
This is also something he has been thinking about.
He has been thinking about this for a long time, but there is no suitable candidate.
Then he turned to look at Mrs. Bian and said:
"Ma'am, do you have any suitable candidates?"
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Bian named several people.
As a result, Cao Cao shook his head after thinking about it and rejected it.
These people are either of poor origin or poor appearance.
Or the identity is not suitable.
Finding a concubine for Zhang Cheng has become a problem...
……
The next night, Cao Cao was lying on the bed with Mrs. Ding lying next to him.
Mrs. Ding.She is Cao Cao's real wife.
It's just that Mrs. Ding is a little bit bad.
That is, he has never been able to give birth to any heirs for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, was not born to Mrs. Ding.
But it was born from a concubine.
But the concubine died early in the morning.
Mrs. Ding took Cao Ang into her lap and raised him as her biological son.
In this way, Cao Ang naturally became Cao Cao's legitimate son.
In fact, last night, Mrs. Bian persuaded Cao Cao.
He didn't want Cao Cao to find a concubine for Zhang Cheng so early.
He wanted to talk about what happened between Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang.
However, she kept saying these words, but she still didn't dare to say them out, feeling that something was wrong.
Cao Cao told Mrs. Ding his considerations.
Mrs. Ding did not object to this like Mrs. Bian did, but nodded and said:
"I think husband, you are indeed very considerate. This is indeed a problem.
If it is not resolved, it will definitely cause some troubles in the future.
It would be better for the husband to resolve this matter.
In this way, we can not only grasp the specific candidates, but also leave a very good impression on Mr. Gaojiu. "
His views were recognized by Mrs. Ding, and Cao Cao was naturally happy.
But Cao Cao quickly sighed and told Mrs. Ding that he could not find a suitable candidate.
And asked Mrs. Ding if there was a more suitable candidate.
Mrs. Ding thought for a while and then named a few people.
And told Cao Cao their identities.
One of them is her niece.
It is said that this woman's identity is indeed relatively good.
Suitable to be Zhang Cheng's concubine.
But Cao Cao saw Mrs. Ding's niece.
What can I say about this elephant? It feels like a leopard's head for an eye, a tiger's back and a bear's back.
This type of person, probably only his grandfather Cao Song, who has a rather peculiar aesthetic, can fall in love with him and fall in love with him very deeply.
According to Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Cao would never want such a person even if he killed him.
So Cao Cao rejected it very simply.
This time he wanted to solve the practical problems Zhang Cheng encountered by sending him to his concubine.
And let Zhang Cheng feel more favorable to himself because of this.
It was not sent over to make Zhang Cheng hate him.
Cao Cao thought.If you send such a strong man over, according to the temperament of that guy, there is a high probability that he will give up on you.
Originally, Cao Cao thought that it would be easy to find a concubine for Zhang Cheng, and it would not be a problem.
But who would have thought that it would be so difficult to actually start implementing it.How about... you can send your eldest daughter and second daughter to that guy in Gaojiu!
If he sends all his first three daughters to Zhang Cheng.
Then, there is absolutely no need to worry about concubines and other issues.
After all, whether he is a legitimate son or a concubine, he is a member of his Cao family and his grandson.
In this day and age, there are actually many cases where half of the sister-in-law's ass belongs to the brother-in-law.
It often happens that sisters marry one person at the same time.
This is especially true for marriages between wealthy families.
The reason for this is that I am worried that after my sister gets married, her life will be short-lived and something unfortunate will happen to her along the way.
Once this happens, it will greatly affect the marriage between the two families.
In this case, if the sisters are married at the same time.
Then you can help your sister become a real wife.
As for the younger sister, as the aunt of the original child, she naturally feels differently.
She would not do what outsiders do, and after becoming a wife, she would murder the children of the original wife.
It can be said that this is a foolproof strategy to nip problems in the bud.
Cao Cao naturally knew this.
But after this thought arose in his mind, and he remembered the sonorous and powerful words he had said before when facing Zhang Chengzhi, Cao Cao quickly threw away this thought.
No, no, if others do it, you can't do it.
My daughters are all precious!
And if you have more daughters, you can also have multiple marriages.
How can we get them all to Zhang Cheng?
Just one daughter is enough.
However, if he does not marry his other daughter to Zhang Cheng, who should fill the vacancy during this period?
Cao Cao was very distressed for a while.
Mrs. Ding also took advantage of the end of the battle to think about suitable candidates here.
However, all the candidates she had thought of before had been refuted one by one by Cao Cao.
So for a while, there was no good candidate, and he seemed a little distressed.
……
At night, in a place in Xuzhou, in a large mansion, the lights were still on, and the smell of wine and meat was constantly wafting out from it.
Generally speaking, lighting a lamp at night in this era is definitely an extremely luxurious thing.
Most people cannot afford to light candles.
Therefore, most people work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Those who can afford to light candles are wealthy people.
However, this kind of luxury item is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the person in front of me.
Others can't afford to light it, but his family can really light it.
Because this family's surname is Mi.
The Mi family is a big family in Xuzhou.
The Mi family is really rich and is a top wealthy businessman.
If their family can no longer afford to light candles, no one will be able to use them.
At this time, several candles as thick as a baby's arm were lit in the room of the Mi family.
The room was illuminated with bright lights.
On the extremely precious carved table, there are extremely exquisite wine glasses made of gold.
The chopsticks are also made of ivory, which is extremely luxurious.
The dishes above are also extremely exquisite, and the ingredients are extremely precious.
From the layout of this room and the corresponding expenses, it all reveals the atmosphere of a wealthy family.
"Mr. Yuanlong please."
Mi Zhu held the golden bottle in both hands and respectfully invited Chen Deng, who was opposite him.
Chen Deng also picked up the golden bottle in front of him, took a sip of the wine, and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's like living a comfortable life like this, and it's like a human life."
Hearing this, Mi Zhu said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Yuanlong, please stop making fun of me.
What kind of day is this?
If possible, the Mi family would rather live the life of Mr. Yuan Long. That is the real life.
What I regret most now is that my family has so much money. "
Hearing Mi Zhu's words, Chen Deng felt helpless for a moment.
I don't know what to say.
If Mi Zhu's words were heard by other people, he didn't know how he would be complained about by those people.
These are really not human words!
But when Mi Zhu said this, he really meant it.
After all, the status of merchants in the past dynasties was not high, and the status of the Han Dynasty was still the same.
Although his Mi family has a lot of money.
But his social status is not high.
Often it is not as high as an ordinary scholar, with a high social status.
Compared with Chen Deng, who is extremely famous throughout Xuzhou, there is no way to compare it.
Even in terms of family wealth, the Chen Deng family cannot compare to the Mi family.
But in terms of social status and other aspects, the Mi family and the Chen family cannot be compared at all. They are not on the same level at all.
"I heard that a long time ago, Zizhong intended to send your sister to Liu Shijun to be his wife.
But later, I didn’t do this anymore.
Could it be that Zizhong felt that Liu Shijun was not good enough?
Liu Shijun has great ambitions, and in my opinion, he will definitely not be a thing in the pond from now on.
Zizhong was able to marry his sister to him.
Relying on the financial resources of the Zizhong family, Liu Bei will definitely be able to be reused in the future.
The Mi family can become very different. "
Hearing what Chen Deng said, Mi Zhu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
In other words, he did have this plan at the time.
He also felt that marrying his sister to Liu Bei was an excellent thing.
But Liu Bei was defeated too quickly, and compared with Cao Cao who performed well, he was simply crushed by Cao Cao.
Under this situation, Mi Zhu put the matter on hold and decided to wait and see what the situation was.
In the end, this delay didn't matter, before he could fully understand the situation.
The situation in Xuzhou has been completely defeated.
Even Liu Bei surrendered to Cao Cao and worked on Cao Cao's side.
Under such circumstances, he naturally did not want to marry his sister to Liu Bei.
Because he felt that marrying Liu Bei had no future.
"Mr. Yuanlong, please don't joke.
Liu Shijun is in bad luck. My sister may not get a good deal if she marries him.
If our family follows Liu Shijun, it will be difficult for us to have a good result in the future. "
When he said this, Mi Zhu also felt that it was a pity for Liu Bei.
It seemed before that Liu Bei was indeed an excellent person for the Mi family to take refuge with.
But now, Liu Bei has been defeated, so naturally, there is no need to mention Liu Bei anymore.
More importantly, the Chen family of Chen Deng in front of them did not give up and followed Liu Shijun.
After Liu Shijun surrendered to Cao Cao, he also surrendered to Cao Cao very simply, without any intention of following Liu Shijun wholeheartedly.
The result is here, persuading myself to do this.
It's really not something humans do.
"I am going to send Amei to Cao Cao.
I wonder what Mr. Yuanlong thinks about letting Cao Mengden take his sister-in-law as his concubine? "
After such a long period of preparation, Mi Zhu finally revealed his true intention of inviting Chen Deng to the banquet this time and entertaining Chen Deng with such high standards.
After Chen Deng surrendered to Cao Cao, he also gained Cao Cao's attention based on his intelligence and the Chen family's status in Xuzhou.
After Cao Cao comforted him and bought people's hearts, he let Chen Deng stay in Xuzhou to do things.
Chen Deng picked up a piece of bear paw, dipped it in some dipping sauce, and ate it happily.
Then he spoke calmly.
"It seems that Zizhong is completely ready to join Cao Mengde."
Mi Zhu said:
"Under such circumstances, what can we do if we don't come to Cao Cao's side?
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
The family business that our family has accumulated for so many years is all here in Xuzhou.
Wouldn't it be a pity to give it up like this? "
Chen Deng nodded, expressing his agreement with Mi Zhu's words.
In other words, if the Chen family hadn't had a great business here in Xuzhou, they wouldn't have the heart to abandon the Chen family's foundation.
He is afraid that he will not stay as an official under Cao Cao.
"Zizhong wanted to strengthen the relationship with Cao Cao by marrying his sister to Cao Cao as his concubine. This was indeed a good idea.
At least it's in the right direction.
But in my opinion, although this is correct, it is not comprehensive. "
When Mi Zhu heard what Chen Deng said, she stood up again and poured Chen Deng a glass of wine.
I humbly asked Chen Deng for advice.
After Chen Deng drank the glass of wine, he continued:
"Cao Cao is indeed a man of great talent and great strategy, he is not an ordinary person.
But if you send a girl to him to be a concubine, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
I heard that your sister should stay in the boudoir, right? "
Mi Zhu nodded.
"This is even more difficult. Cao Cao may not be willing to accept your sister as his concubine."
Mi Zhu seemed very puzzled when he heard what Chen Deng said.
I don't understand why my sister becomes Cao Mengde's concubine when she is in a boudoir.
Talk.Shouldn't this be a huge plus?
Chen Deng saw Mi Zhu's doubts and immediately said:
"The reason why you think this way is because, Zizhong, you don't know much about Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's hobbies are very different from others.
He likes the mature one, but doesn't like the green one.
If it is a wife, then of course there is nothing to say. Of course, she wants to marry a virtuous, virtuous and decent person.
But taking a concubine is very different from marrying a wife.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cao naturally didn't like serious people.
And to be honest, in terms of everything Cao Cao has now and Cao Cao's family background.
Cao Cao was not short of money.
Although Zizhong's family had a lot of money, it was actually not that important to Cao Cao.
What he lacks is actually more status.
This status does not refer to the official position he has obtained, but to a kind of family heritage.
After the Cao family became eunuchs, they naturally had some weaknesses in this regard.
Even though Cao Cao's status has been greatly improved now, this is still a lingering psychological shadow on him.
in this case.If he is taking a concubine.
In fact, they are more tolerant of taking people from aristocratic families as concubines.
In this way, on the one hand, it can strengthen the relationship with the nobles.
On the other hand, it can also show Cao Mengde's current position.
At the same time, it must also be able to enhance and stabilize his current status.
Therefore, marrying your younger sister to Cao Cao is not a very good idea. "
Chen Deng's words made Mi Zhu's expression change several times.
Although Chen Deng said this very euphemistically.
In fact, one thing is very clear, that is, the Mi family is just rich.
In terms of status, the difference was too great, and she was not even qualified to be Cao Cao's concubine.
If others said this, Mi Zhu might not be convinced.
But now it was Chen Deng who said this to him.
And the person involved is Cao Cao.
He had to believe it.
The Mi family is indeed very rich and famous here in Xuzhou.
But compared with Cao Cao's money, his money is not on the table.
After all, the Cao family was not short of money from the beginning.
If he was short of money, Cao Song would not have just spent [-] million yuan to buy a Taiwei just for fun.
Mi Zhu was in a very low mood.
Originally, he thought that marrying his sister to Cao Cao would be a very good thing and the possibility was extremely high.
But now after being analyzed by Chen Deng, he felt that he was indeed a little wishful thinking before.
Then he sighed and said:
“Things in the world are so difficult.
Fortunately, it was Mr. Yuan Long who woke me up.
Otherwise, if you can't say it this time, you will be humiliating yourself. "
After finishing speaking, he toasted Chen Deng with another glass of wine, looked at Chen Deng and said:
"Please also ask Mr. Yuan Long to give me an idea."
After Chen Deng drank a glass of wine, he shook his head and said:
“This matter is really difficult to solve, and I don’t have any good ideas.
But I have a compromise here. "
Mi Zhu was already frustrated.
At this time, when I heard Chen Deng suddenly say this, I felt a sudden turn of events, and my heart was full of surprises.
He was busy looking at Chen Deng and said:
"Mr. Yuanlong, please tell me quickly."
Chen Deng did not show any concern at all, and immediately said:
“My compromise strategy is actually simple.
I wonder if Zizhong has heard of Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gaojiu. "
Mi Zhu said:
“This man has become famous recently, how could I not have heard of his name?
If it weren't for this person, Xuzhou would never be controlled by Cao Cao now and would still be in the hands of Liu Shijun. "
After saying these words, Mi Zhu was suddenly stunned.
He looked at Chen Deng thoughtfully and said:
"Could it be that what Mr. Yuan Long meant..."
Chen Deng smiled and nodded.
"Zizhong's guess is correct. What I meant was to send your younger sister to Zhang Cheng."
Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said:
"Mr. Yuanlong, I'm afraid this matter is a little inappropriate!
I recently heard news that Cao Cao has announced a marriage contract between his daughter and Zhang Cheng.
At this time, Zhang Cheng had become his son-in-law.
Under such circumstances, if my sister marries him, she will become a concubine. "
Chen Deng heard this and said:
"It's not impossible to become Zhang Cheng's concubine.
Why... could it be that Zizhong is still planning to let his younger sister become Zhang Cheng's head wife? "
This sentence made Mi Zhu's face turn red.
In other words, although when facing Cao Cao, he wanted to send his sister to Cao Cao as a concubine, but he couldn't.
And he felt that it was natural for his sister to become Cao Cao's concubine.
But when it was Zhang Cheng's turn, he really didn't want his sister to be Zhang Cheng's concubine.
This aspect is mainly due to the huge gap in status between Zhang Cheng and Cao Cao.
Another reason is that Zhang Cheng has a bad background.
Although he is in the limelight now, in the final analysis, he is still a Guizhou leader.
Chen Deng said:
“Zizhong, you must have a vision as a person, and you can’t just look at what’s in front of you.
Could it be that today's scholars and those with great power were scholars and people with great power from the beginning?
Isn’t it all a step-by-step process?
In my opinion, the achievements of this achievement in the future are bound to be limitless.
In addition, having your younger sister by Zhang Cheng's side is an excellent marriage opportunity.
It is also the best opportunity for your Mi family. "
Mi Zhu said:
"But...he has already made an engagement with Cao Cao's daughter.
Now he is not married to Cao Cao's daughter.
How can I send people to him while I'm waiting here?
I'm afraid Cao Cao won't agree to this! "
Chen Deng smiled when he heard this.
"This matter can be discussed separately when it comes to Zhang Cheng.
Cao Cao's daughter is only seven years old now.
It will take many years until she marries Zhang Cheng.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Cao Cao not to allow Zhang Cheng to take a concubine and just keep waiting for his daughter.
This is too overbearing.
Judging from Cao Cao's various performances towards Zhang Cheng.
Cao Cao loved Zhang Cheng very much.
In this regard, it will naturally not suffer from this success.
And I heard that Cao Cao has already promised.I want to give Zhang Cheng a concubine.
Moreover, Zhang Cheng didn't seem to care much about anything else, except that he was quite interested in women.
Isn't this your opportunity, Zizhong?
From then on, Cao Cao's daughter married Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng became Cao Cao's son-in-law.
Your sister became Zhang Cheng's concubine.
From now on, I just need to give more instructions to my sister, so that she will not contradict Cao Cao's daughter in the future, and Cao Cao's daughter will take the lead in everything.
Under such circumstances, didn't Zizhong also become Cao Cao's people?
Zhang Chengzhang is a highly accomplished person and is also an extremely talented person.
Future achievements are limitless.
It shouldn't be too difficult for your Mi family to improve their status with the help of him. "
After Mi Zhu thought for a while, he stood up, bowed deeply to Chen Deng and said:
"Thanks to Mr. Yuanlong for his advice, I was able to see the moon through clouds."
Chen Deng laughed and said:
"Don't be so polite.
Not to mention anything else, just because of today's meal, I have to give Zizhong this idea.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be like eating and drinking for free? "
After that he laughed.
The atmosphere seemed very harmonious for a while...
……
"Husband, I have it!
I've thought of another suitable candidate! ! "
At almost the same moment, Mrs. Ding on the bed had an idea flash in her mind, and a person jumped into her mind.
She looked at Cao Cao and said excitedly...
(End of this chapter)
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said this with great interest.
If it were anyone else, Cao Cao would have already prepared to betroth his daughter to Zhang Cheng.
The post of governor of Chenliu was also given to Zhang Cheng.
They have already given Zhang Cheng such a great honor, and now they are actually preparing to give Zhang Cheng an even greater honor. They will definitely be very surprised and shocked.
But Xun Yu was not surprised at all.
On the contrary, there was a faint smile on his face.
He looked at Cao Cao and said:
"My lord, why don't you and I write down the big surprise that my lord wants to give to Mr. Gao Jiu on the palms of our hands.
Then check each other to see if they are the same.
How does my lord feel? "
Cao Cao's character was changeable, he was the most suspicious and the most unruly.
Because he was touched by some things, it was he who burst into tears, and it was also he who was full of ambition and pride.
Boss Cao is the kind of person who likes to play some little games and get some little surprises even when he has nothing to do.
So he agreed to Xun Yu's proposal without much thought.
Immediately, they took their pens, dipped them in ink, and wrote in the palms of their hands.
After writing, they put down the pen and looked at each other.
Open your writing hand toward the other person and let them see it.
After the two of them saw the words on their respective palms, they couldn't help laughing.
Cao Cao smiled and said:
"As expected, Wen Ruo is the one who understands me best."
Xun Yu smiled and said:
"It's not that I understand my lord, but that I know that my lord is very generous and dares to do things that ordinary people don't dare to do.
It was also Gao who made too great a contribution this time.
With just these two things, Gao Jie was dismissed, which was a bit too contemptuous of Gao Jie.
It's not enough to demonstrate his achievements this time. "
Cao Cao laughed and said:
"You have guessed my thoughts so thoroughly, and you still say you don't understand me."
It turned out that Cao Cao and Xun Yu had two words written on their palms.
Fenghou!
Cao Cao was going to ask the court to grant Zhang Cheng the title of Marquis.
You know, no one in Cao Ying is a marquis now.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cao was seeking to make Zhang Cheng a marquis.
It can be seen from this that Cao Cao loves and values Zhang Chengzhi.
“It’s just that it’s not too easy to be granted the title of Marquis this time.
This time, Gao killed Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou.
Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, was sent to Yuzhou by Li Jue and Guo Si.
Now the court in Guanzhong is controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si.
Under such circumstances, the lord tried to ennoble Mr. Gao Jiu, and the two thieves would probably block it. "
Cao Cao said:
"No matter how difficult it is, I still have to give Mr. Gaojiu his title.
Please seal it for Mr. Gaojiu!
If this matter is not settled, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
It is not enough to show the merit of high achievement. "
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun Yu nodded to show that he understood.
After talking like this, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said:
"Actually, I have another purpose for asking you to do this for me.
I wonder if Wen Ruo has guessed it? "
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu seemed a little surprised.
After thinking for a while, he tried to give a few answers. Cao Cao smiled and shook his head.
After a while, Xun Yu shook his head and said:
"Please make it clear, my lord, I really don't know."
Even Xun Yu couldn't guess his deeper meaning.
Although Cao Cao could still control his facial expression, his heart was already filled with joy.
He looked at Xun Yu with a smile and said:
"The purpose of this is actually to take this opportunity to go to Guanzhong and have a good look at what the situation is in Guanzhong.
Make certain contacts with the people over there in Guanzhong.
Take a look at Li Jue and Guo Si, and see how good they are.
Prepare to welcome the emperor's departure from the east.
Cao Cao has always been thinking about what Zhang Cheng, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai had discussed before returning from the east.
After all, he can easily know how beneficial it is.
Follow the emperor's order to not be a minister!
As long as the emperor is in his hands, this will become his sharp sword.
It has legitimacy and legitimacy.
In the next battle, he will naturally be on the advantageous side.
Under this situation, people like Yuan Shao also felt somewhat wrong when facing themselves.
To welcome the emperor back eastward, this is definitely a brilliant move!
And excluding all kinds of profit considerations, Cao Cao still had some different feelings for the big man.
It was also true that he wanted the Emperor of Han to live a better life with more dignity on his side.
I heard that Li Jue and Guo Si were both rough warriors.
Over there in Guanzhong, the life of Emperor Liu Xie was extremely uncomfortable, and he had no dignity as an emperor.
He was a man who once aspired to be a general of the Han Dynasty in conquering the West.
See the emperor of Han Dynasty.Being humiliated in this way actually made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, I also want to change some things through my own efforts.
"I never thought that my lord would have such deep meaning, this is indeed a great opportunity!
The master's talent is admirable! "
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with an expression of admiration.
Hearing what Xun Yu said, Cao Cao suddenly felt very comfortable, as if he had drank nectar.
This feeling that even Xun Yu can't guess his own thoughts is really great.
After discussing some matters with Xun Yu here, Cao Cao said goodbye to Xun Yu and left here.
Looking at Cao Cao's leaving figure, Xun Yu showed a smile on his face.
Then he shook his head gently and went back to handle his own affairs without saying much.
Next, Cao Cao planned to summon Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia together.
Ask them both, what specific ideas they have for welcoming the emperor's return to the east?
It is really not an easy task to welcome the emperor back!
……
"Husband, are you really prepared to give Zhang Cheng another concubine?"
At night, after a storm, Mrs. Bian nestled beside Cao Cao and looked at Cao Cao asking.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her pretty face was red at this time, with some sweat on it.
It looks like a pink lotus with some dewdrops in the morning, extremely bright and beautiful.
Cao Cao nodded and said:
"I do have this idea. For men, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines.
This Gaojie is still a person with such great talent.
It can be seen that he is really interested in this aspect.
I'm definitely going to do whatever I want here.
What if I get lured away by someone else? "
When Mrs. Bian heard this, she bit her red lips and said:
"It's just...what you said, husband, is correct, but...but if we want to take a concubine, we shouldn't have to wait until our daughter marries him.
How can our daughter give him a concubine before she marries him?
This...is against the rules. "
Cao Cao said: "I also know that this is not in line with the rules.
But rules are dead and people are alive.
When talking about rules, you also need to look at the actual situation before talking about it.
It is obvious before our eyes that it will take at least six or seven years for our daughter to marry Zhang Cheng.
Six or seven years later, our daughter is still young, so she can naturally wait.
But it was the height of his career, so it was okay to ask him to wait for a while.
Can he really wait six or seven years?
I'm afraid I can't wait.
What's more, Gaojiu's body is still so good, and his energy and blood are extremely strong.
He is an invincible general on the battlefield.
He also practices Wu Qin Xi every day to keep fit.
You see, people like me often march and fight, and their bodies are exhausted. Now after practicing Wu Qin Xi, my combat power has greatly increased..."
Hearing Cao Cao say this, Mrs. Bian's face, which was already red, couldn't help but blush again.
He stretched out his hand on the soft flesh around Cao Cao's waist and twisted it.
With infinite shyness.
Cao Cao chuckled, but kept saying: "Tell me, Mr. Gaojiu, he is in extremely good health.
Under such circumstances, how can one endure it?
If we don't find a concubine for him, will he still not know how to do it himself?
Instead of doing this, it would be better for us to take the initiative to find a concubine for him and send it to him.
In this case, the initiative is on our side.
And it can also make Mr. Gaojiu think of us well.
Both men.I know this best. "
These words.Boss Cao was speaking righteously, but Mrs. Bian was speechless for a moment.
However, thinking that his daughter was not married yet, he gave Zhang Cheng a room as a concubine and sent her to him.
She still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she always felt that this was not appropriate.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke again:
"What your husband said is indeed good.
But...but there is one thing that is difficult to solve.
That is to say, in the past few years, Na Gao and his concubine could have given birth to several children.
The baby is a daughter, so everything is easy to talk about.
But if he is a son, the eldest son of a concubine will be older than the eldest son of a legitimate son, which is not good after all.
If nothing else, you only need to look at the current brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to get this conclusion.
Yuan Shao was just a concubine, but now he was even more powerful than Yuan Shu, his direct son.
Moreover, there was a quarrel between the two brothers. The brothers turned against each other and divided the Yuan family.
If the two of them don't get into trouble like this and use their strength in one place, who is the opponent of the two brothers in the world today?
The Yuan family must be the only one. "
Cao Cao then smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Madam, you only know one thing about this matter and don't know the other.
People like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu cannot be compared and used as examples.
The reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were like this was because Yuan Ji, the eldest son of the Yuan family, was beheaded by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei.
Yuan Ji was appointed by the Yuan family, and the next head of the family was the true heir of the Yuan family.
As long as Yuan Ji does not die, the Yuan family will not be able to divide their families. After all, Yuan Shao is just a younger brother and cannot cause trouble.
I seriously doubt that this was actually done by Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others.
The purpose is to prevent the Yuan family from being united together.
Of course, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were still in Luoyang when Yuan Ji had not escaped.
He dared to publish a statement with great fanfare, and gathered soldiers from all over the world to jointly attack Dong Zhuo, in order to anger Dong Zhuo.
Thus, with the help of Dong Zhuo, we can eliminate Yuan Wei, the previous head of the Yuan family, and Yuan Ji, the most reasonable heir to the Yuan family..."
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Mrs. Bian was stunned for a moment and said:
"Husband, this...is this a little too dark?
The members of the Yuan family are all from a top-notch family and are well-read in poetry and books.
Yuan Shao, in particular, was famous for his filial piety.
Over there in Luoyang, he had been in mourning for six consecutive years, and his reputation as a filial piety was known to the world.
How could he do such a dark thing? "
When Cao Cao heard this, he curled his lips and said with some disdain:
"Yuan Shao is always good at putting on airs and trying to put money on his face.
His so-called filial piety is all to improve his reputation and gather strength.
Thus having more power, that's all.
Those are just some of his methods.
I, a great man, rule the world with filial piety, and it is absolutely normal for him to do so.
These were all done for others to see, and he also gained tangible benefits from them.
In the face of huge interests, it is normal for Yuan Shao to do some darker things.
If not for Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji, they would have died at the hands of Dong Zhuo.
It is simply impossible for him, Yuan Shao, to be as shining and powerful as he is now.
Some things cannot be seen only on the surface. If you look at the surface, you will often be confused by all kinds of dazzling things.
Madam, you only need to remember one thing, and that is to see who makes the most profit and who gets the most benefits.
The essence can often be seen at a glance.
Although I cannot say that it will definitely be correct, at least [-]% of it is correct. "
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Mrs. Bian instinctively felt that there was something wrong with what Cao Cao said.
These words were contrary to her knowledge.
After all, Yuan Shao and others come from top-notch wealthy families, and they are all extremely knowledgeable and well-educated people.
But if I think about it more carefully, I feel that what my husband Cao Cao said is very right.
Don't worry, this might actually be the truth.
"In addition to these, another reason why Yuan Shao has his current status is that he was adopted into Yuan's family room.
Became a legitimate son.
Although he is still a bastard in essence.
But after such operations, he was as if he was the legitimate son of the Yuan family in terms of legal principles.
Although in the eyes of many people, his status as a bastard will not change.
But from a legal perspective, it makes sense.
Of course, there is another reason besides this.
It is Yuan Shao who is indeed very capable.
Compared with him, Yuan Shu, the legitimate second son, was far behind, and he was not Yuan Shao's match at all.
This situation is not surprising.
I say this just to let my wife know that a bastard is a bastard and will never be compared to the eldest son.
Even if we are here, we have already married Gao Jiu into a concubine and gave birth to an heir for him, but there is no need to worry about this aspect.
Things like what happened to the Yuan brothers are almost impossible to repeat. "
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Mrs. Bian no longer tried to dissuade him.
Because she knew she couldn't persuade her.
Of course, after Cao Cao's explanation, she also understood that her husband was indeed right to do this.
You can't break up with a talented person like Zhang Cheng just because of this matter.
As a woman, she knew very well what kind of virtue this man had, and there was really no way to stop this matter.
Blocking is worse than sparse.
If it's a year or two, you can still wait.
But now it will take at least six or seven years for my own daughter to marry Zhang Cheng, which is indeed too long.
"It's just...if my husband is looking for a concubine for Mr. Gaojiu, who would be more suitable?"
After hearing Mrs. Bian's words, Cao Cao frowned slightly, looking a little distressed.
This is also something he has been thinking about.
He has been thinking about this for a long time, but there is no suitable candidate.
Then he turned to look at Mrs. Bian and said:
"Ma'am, do you have any suitable candidates?"
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Bian named several people.
As a result, Cao Cao shook his head after thinking about it and rejected it.
These people are either of poor origin or poor appearance.
Or the identity is not suitable.
Finding a concubine for Zhang Cheng has become a problem...
……
The next night, Cao Cao was lying on the bed with Mrs. Ding lying next to him.
Mrs. Ding.She is Cao Cao's real wife.
It's just that Mrs. Ding is a little bit bad.
That is, he has never been able to give birth to any heirs for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, was not born to Mrs. Ding.
But it was born from a concubine.
But the concubine died early in the morning.
Mrs. Ding took Cao Ang into her lap and raised him as her biological son.
In this way, Cao Ang naturally became Cao Cao's legitimate son.
In fact, last night, Mrs. Bian persuaded Cao Cao.
He didn't want Cao Cao to find a concubine for Zhang Cheng so early.
He wanted to talk about what happened between Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang.
However, she kept saying these words, but she still didn't dare to say them out, feeling that something was wrong.
Cao Cao told Mrs. Ding his considerations.
Mrs. Ding did not object to this like Mrs. Bian did, but nodded and said:
"I think husband, you are indeed very considerate. This is indeed a problem.
If it is not resolved, it will definitely cause some troubles in the future.
It would be better for the husband to resolve this matter.
In this way, we can not only grasp the specific candidates, but also leave a very good impression on Mr. Gaojiu. "
His views were recognized by Mrs. Ding, and Cao Cao was naturally happy.
But Cao Cao quickly sighed and told Mrs. Ding that he could not find a suitable candidate.
And asked Mrs. Ding if there was a more suitable candidate.
Mrs. Ding thought for a while and then named a few people.
And told Cao Cao their identities.
One of them is her niece.
It is said that this woman's identity is indeed relatively good.
Suitable to be Zhang Cheng's concubine.
But Cao Cao saw Mrs. Ding's niece.
What can I say about this elephant? It feels like a leopard's head for an eye, a tiger's back and a bear's back.
This type of person, probably only his grandfather Cao Song, who has a rather peculiar aesthetic, can fall in love with him and fall in love with him very deeply.
According to Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Cao would never want such a person even if he killed him.
So Cao Cao rejected it very simply.
This time he wanted to solve the practical problems Zhang Cheng encountered by sending him to his concubine.
And let Zhang Cheng feel more favorable to himself because of this.
It was not sent over to make Zhang Cheng hate him.
Cao Cao thought.If you send such a strong man over, according to the temperament of that guy, there is a high probability that he will give up on you.
Originally, Cao Cao thought that it would be easy to find a concubine for Zhang Cheng, and it would not be a problem.
But who would have thought that it would be so difficult to actually start implementing it.How about... you can send your eldest daughter and second daughter to that guy in Gaojiu!
If he sends all his first three daughters to Zhang Cheng.
Then, there is absolutely no need to worry about concubines and other issues.
After all, whether he is a legitimate son or a concubine, he is a member of his Cao family and his grandson.
In this day and age, there are actually many cases where half of the sister-in-law's ass belongs to the brother-in-law.
It often happens that sisters marry one person at the same time.
This is especially true for marriages between wealthy families.
The reason for this is that I am worried that after my sister gets married, her life will be short-lived and something unfortunate will happen to her along the way.
Once this happens, it will greatly affect the marriage between the two families.
In this case, if the sisters are married at the same time.
Then you can help your sister become a real wife.
As for the younger sister, as the aunt of the original child, she naturally feels differently.
She would not do what outsiders do, and after becoming a wife, she would murder the children of the original wife.
It can be said that this is a foolproof strategy to nip problems in the bud.
Cao Cao naturally knew this.
But after this thought arose in his mind, and he remembered the sonorous and powerful words he had said before when facing Zhang Chengzhi, Cao Cao quickly threw away this thought.
No, no, if others do it, you can't do it.
My daughters are all precious!
And if you have more daughters, you can also have multiple marriages.
How can we get them all to Zhang Cheng?
Just one daughter is enough.
However, if he does not marry his other daughter to Zhang Cheng, who should fill the vacancy during this period?
Cao Cao was very distressed for a while.
Mrs. Ding also took advantage of the end of the battle to think about suitable candidates here.
However, all the candidates she had thought of before had been refuted one by one by Cao Cao.
So for a while, there was no good candidate, and he seemed a little distressed.
……
At night, in a place in Xuzhou, in a large mansion, the lights were still on, and the smell of wine and meat was constantly wafting out from it.
Generally speaking, lighting a lamp at night in this era is definitely an extremely luxurious thing.
Most people cannot afford to light candles.
Therefore, most people work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Those who can afford to light candles are wealthy people.
However, this kind of luxury item is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the person in front of me.
Others can't afford to light it, but his family can really light it.
Because this family's surname is Mi.
The Mi family is a big family in Xuzhou.
The Mi family is really rich and is a top wealthy businessman.
If their family can no longer afford to light candles, no one will be able to use them.
At this time, several candles as thick as a baby's arm were lit in the room of the Mi family.
The room was illuminated with bright lights.
On the extremely precious carved table, there are extremely exquisite wine glasses made of gold.
The chopsticks are also made of ivory, which is extremely luxurious.
The dishes above are also extremely exquisite, and the ingredients are extremely precious.
From the layout of this room and the corresponding expenses, it all reveals the atmosphere of a wealthy family.
"Mr. Yuanlong please."
Mi Zhu held the golden bottle in both hands and respectfully invited Chen Deng, who was opposite him.
Chen Deng also picked up the golden bottle in front of him, took a sip of the wine, and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's like living a comfortable life like this, and it's like a human life."
Hearing this, Mi Zhu said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Yuanlong, please stop making fun of me.
What kind of day is this?
If possible, the Mi family would rather live the life of Mr. Yuan Long. That is the real life.
What I regret most now is that my family has so much money. "
Hearing Mi Zhu's words, Chen Deng felt helpless for a moment.
I don't know what to say.
If Mi Zhu's words were heard by other people, he didn't know how he would be complained about by those people.
These are really not human words!
But when Mi Zhu said this, he really meant it.
After all, the status of merchants in the past dynasties was not high, and the status of the Han Dynasty was still the same.
Although his Mi family has a lot of money.
But his social status is not high.
Often it is not as high as an ordinary scholar, with a high social status.
Compared with Chen Deng, who is extremely famous throughout Xuzhou, there is no way to compare it.
Even in terms of family wealth, the Chen Deng family cannot compare to the Mi family.
But in terms of social status and other aspects, the Mi family and the Chen family cannot be compared at all. They are not on the same level at all.
"I heard that a long time ago, Zizhong intended to send your sister to Liu Shijun to be his wife.
But later, I didn’t do this anymore.
Could it be that Zizhong felt that Liu Shijun was not good enough?
Liu Shijun has great ambitions, and in my opinion, he will definitely not be a thing in the pond from now on.
Zizhong was able to marry his sister to him.
Relying on the financial resources of the Zizhong family, Liu Bei will definitely be able to be reused in the future.
The Mi family can become very different. "
Hearing what Chen Deng said, Mi Zhu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
In other words, he did have this plan at the time.
He also felt that marrying his sister to Liu Bei was an excellent thing.
But Liu Bei was defeated too quickly, and compared with Cao Cao who performed well, he was simply crushed by Cao Cao.
Under this situation, Mi Zhu put the matter on hold and decided to wait and see what the situation was.
In the end, this delay didn't matter, before he could fully understand the situation.
The situation in Xuzhou has been completely defeated.
Even Liu Bei surrendered to Cao Cao and worked on Cao Cao's side.
Under such circumstances, he naturally did not want to marry his sister to Liu Bei.
Because he felt that marrying Liu Bei had no future.
"Mr. Yuanlong, please don't joke.
Liu Shijun is in bad luck. My sister may not get a good deal if she marries him.
If our family follows Liu Shijun, it will be difficult for us to have a good result in the future. "
When he said this, Mi Zhu also felt that it was a pity for Liu Bei.
It seemed before that Liu Bei was indeed an excellent person for the Mi family to take refuge with.
But now, Liu Bei has been defeated, so naturally, there is no need to mention Liu Bei anymore.
More importantly, the Chen family of Chen Deng in front of them did not give up and followed Liu Shijun.
After Liu Shijun surrendered to Cao Cao, he also surrendered to Cao Cao very simply, without any intention of following Liu Shijun wholeheartedly.
The result is here, persuading myself to do this.
It's really not something humans do.
"I am going to send Amei to Cao Cao.
I wonder what Mr. Yuanlong thinks about letting Cao Mengden take his sister-in-law as his concubine? "
After such a long period of preparation, Mi Zhu finally revealed his true intention of inviting Chen Deng to the banquet this time and entertaining Chen Deng with such high standards.
After Chen Deng surrendered to Cao Cao, he also gained Cao Cao's attention based on his intelligence and the Chen family's status in Xuzhou.
After Cao Cao comforted him and bought people's hearts, he let Chen Deng stay in Xuzhou to do things.
Chen Deng picked up a piece of bear paw, dipped it in some dipping sauce, and ate it happily.
Then he spoke calmly.
"It seems that Zizhong is completely ready to join Cao Mengde."
Mi Zhu said:
"Under such circumstances, what can we do if we don't come to Cao Cao's side?
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
The family business that our family has accumulated for so many years is all here in Xuzhou.
Wouldn't it be a pity to give it up like this? "
Chen Deng nodded, expressing his agreement with Mi Zhu's words.
In other words, if the Chen family hadn't had a great business here in Xuzhou, they wouldn't have the heart to abandon the Chen family's foundation.
He is afraid that he will not stay as an official under Cao Cao.
"Zizhong wanted to strengthen the relationship with Cao Cao by marrying his sister to Cao Cao as his concubine. This was indeed a good idea.
At least it's in the right direction.
But in my opinion, although this is correct, it is not comprehensive. "
When Mi Zhu heard what Chen Deng said, she stood up again and poured Chen Deng a glass of wine.
I humbly asked Chen Deng for advice.
After Chen Deng drank the glass of wine, he continued:
"Cao Cao is indeed a man of great talent and great strategy, he is not an ordinary person.
But if you send a girl to him to be a concubine, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
I heard that your sister should stay in the boudoir, right? "
Mi Zhu nodded.
"This is even more difficult. Cao Cao may not be willing to accept your sister as his concubine."
Mi Zhu seemed very puzzled when he heard what Chen Deng said.
I don't understand why my sister becomes Cao Mengde's concubine when she is in a boudoir.
Talk.Shouldn't this be a huge plus?
Chen Deng saw Mi Zhu's doubts and immediately said:
"The reason why you think this way is because, Zizhong, you don't know much about Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's hobbies are very different from others.
He likes the mature one, but doesn't like the green one.
If it is a wife, then of course there is nothing to say. Of course, she wants to marry a virtuous, virtuous and decent person.
But taking a concubine is very different from marrying a wife.
Under such circumstances, Cao Cao naturally didn't like serious people.
And to be honest, in terms of everything Cao Cao has now and Cao Cao's family background.
Cao Cao was not short of money.
Although Zizhong's family had a lot of money, it was actually not that important to Cao Cao.
What he lacks is actually more status.
This status does not refer to the official position he has obtained, but to a kind of family heritage.
After the Cao family became eunuchs, they naturally had some weaknesses in this regard.
Even though Cao Cao's status has been greatly improved now, this is still a lingering psychological shadow on him.
in this case.If he is taking a concubine.
In fact, they are more tolerant of taking people from aristocratic families as concubines.
In this way, on the one hand, it can strengthen the relationship with the nobles.
On the other hand, it can also show Cao Mengde's current position.
At the same time, it must also be able to enhance and stabilize his current status.
Therefore, marrying your younger sister to Cao Cao is not a very good idea. "
Chen Deng's words made Mi Zhu's expression change several times.
Although Chen Deng said this very euphemistically.
In fact, one thing is very clear, that is, the Mi family is just rich.
In terms of status, the difference was too great, and she was not even qualified to be Cao Cao's concubine.
If others said this, Mi Zhu might not be convinced.
But now it was Chen Deng who said this to him.
And the person involved is Cao Cao.
He had to believe it.
The Mi family is indeed very rich and famous here in Xuzhou.
But compared with Cao Cao's money, his money is not on the table.
After all, the Cao family was not short of money from the beginning.
If he was short of money, Cao Song would not have just spent [-] million yuan to buy a Taiwei just for fun.
Mi Zhu was in a very low mood.
Originally, he thought that marrying his sister to Cao Cao would be a very good thing and the possibility was extremely high.
But now after being analyzed by Chen Deng, he felt that he was indeed a little wishful thinking before.
Then he sighed and said:
“Things in the world are so difficult.
Fortunately, it was Mr. Yuan Long who woke me up.
Otherwise, if you can't say it this time, you will be humiliating yourself. "
After finishing speaking, he toasted Chen Deng with another glass of wine, looked at Chen Deng and said:
"Please also ask Mr. Yuan Long to give me an idea."
After Chen Deng drank a glass of wine, he shook his head and said:
“This matter is really difficult to solve, and I don’t have any good ideas.
But I have a compromise here. "
Mi Zhu was already frustrated.
At this time, when I heard Chen Deng suddenly say this, I felt a sudden turn of events, and my heart was full of surprises.
He was busy looking at Chen Deng and said:
"Mr. Yuanlong, please tell me quickly."
Chen Deng did not show any concern at all, and immediately said:
“My compromise strategy is actually simple.
I wonder if Zizhong has heard of Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gaojiu. "
Mi Zhu said:
“This man has become famous recently, how could I not have heard of his name?
If it weren't for this person, Xuzhou would never be controlled by Cao Cao now and would still be in the hands of Liu Shijun. "
After saying these words, Mi Zhu was suddenly stunned.
He looked at Chen Deng thoughtfully and said:
"Could it be that what Mr. Yuan Long meant..."
Chen Deng smiled and nodded.
"Zizhong's guess is correct. What I meant was to send your younger sister to Zhang Cheng."
Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said:
"Mr. Yuanlong, I'm afraid this matter is a little inappropriate!
I recently heard news that Cao Cao has announced a marriage contract between his daughter and Zhang Cheng.
At this time, Zhang Cheng had become his son-in-law.
Under such circumstances, if my sister marries him, she will become a concubine. "
Chen Deng heard this and said:
"It's not impossible to become Zhang Cheng's concubine.
Why... could it be that Zizhong is still planning to let his younger sister become Zhang Cheng's head wife? "
This sentence made Mi Zhu's face turn red.
In other words, although when facing Cao Cao, he wanted to send his sister to Cao Cao as a concubine, but he couldn't.
And he felt that it was natural for his sister to become Cao Cao's concubine.
But when it was Zhang Cheng's turn, he really didn't want his sister to be Zhang Cheng's concubine.
This aspect is mainly due to the huge gap in status between Zhang Cheng and Cao Cao.
Another reason is that Zhang Cheng has a bad background.
Although he is in the limelight now, in the final analysis, he is still a Guizhou leader.
Chen Deng said:
“Zizhong, you must have a vision as a person, and you can’t just look at what’s in front of you.
Could it be that today's scholars and those with great power were scholars and people with great power from the beginning?
Isn’t it all a step-by-step process?
In my opinion, the achievements of this achievement in the future are bound to be limitless.
In addition, having your younger sister by Zhang Cheng's side is an excellent marriage opportunity.
It is also the best opportunity for your Mi family. "
Mi Zhu said:
"But...he has already made an engagement with Cao Cao's daughter.
Now he is not married to Cao Cao's daughter.
How can I send people to him while I'm waiting here?
I'm afraid Cao Cao won't agree to this! "
Chen Deng smiled when he heard this.
"This matter can be discussed separately when it comes to Zhang Cheng.
Cao Cao's daughter is only seven years old now.
It will take many years until she marries Zhang Cheng.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Cao Cao not to allow Zhang Cheng to take a concubine and just keep waiting for his daughter.
This is too overbearing.
Judging from Cao Cao's various performances towards Zhang Cheng.
Cao Cao loved Zhang Cheng very much.
In this regard, it will naturally not suffer from this success.
And I heard that Cao Cao has already promised.I want to give Zhang Cheng a concubine.
Moreover, Zhang Cheng didn't seem to care much about anything else, except that he was quite interested in women.
Isn't this your opportunity, Zizhong?
From then on, Cao Cao's daughter married Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng became Cao Cao's son-in-law.
Your sister became Zhang Cheng's concubine.
From now on, I just need to give more instructions to my sister, so that she will not contradict Cao Cao's daughter in the future, and Cao Cao's daughter will take the lead in everything.
Under such circumstances, didn't Zizhong also become Cao Cao's people?
Zhang Chengzhang is a highly accomplished person and is also an extremely talented person.
Future achievements are limitless.
It shouldn't be too difficult for your Mi family to improve their status with the help of him. "
After Mi Zhu thought for a while, he stood up, bowed deeply to Chen Deng and said:
"Thanks to Mr. Yuanlong for his advice, I was able to see the moon through clouds."
Chen Deng laughed and said:
"Don't be so polite.
Not to mention anything else, just because of today's meal, I have to give Zizhong this idea.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be like eating and drinking for free? "
After that he laughed.
The atmosphere seemed very harmonious for a while...
……
"Husband, I have it!
I've thought of another suitable candidate! ! "
At almost the same moment, Mrs. Ding on the bed had an idea flash in her mind, and a person jumped into her mind.
She looked at Cao Cao and said excitedly...
