Lord Yuan

Chapter 73 Cao Song’s expectations for Cao Cao
Pei Guo.

Qiao County.

The local powerful clan, the Cao clan, where Cao Cao belongs.

The angel who came all the way from Luoyang with a document caused a stir.

The angel looked calm, presented the document with both hands, then waved his hand and left.

Cao Song, who was left confused, looked at the angel's retreating figure.

No matter how much he tried to persuade her to stay, the angel who came from afar and was covered with dust along the way was not sloppy at all, and left without looking back after saying a few compliments.

"Why is this angel not like before?"

Cao Song was still wondering secretly.

He has been in a high position for many years, and he knows too much about the hidden rules contained in this angel who came from Luoyang.

He had prepared enough gifts and wanted to give them away, with a look of joy on his face.

As a result, people seem to regard money as dirt.

"The world has changed." Cao Song sighed.

When he was still a small official, the officialdom at that time was far from what it was when Taifu was now in power. It could even be said to be a mess.

From top to bottom, there is a self-interested sentiment.

It seems that if people don't serve themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth, but Cao Song is in it like a fish in water.

Relying on his own tongue that is enough to cope with most places, as well as some small tricks behind it.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaohuan, he even served as the Sili Xiaowei overseeing the powers of hundreds of officials around Luoyang.

Among them, in addition to the political resources left to him by his adoptive father Cao Teng, Cao Song himself gradually opened the channel to the upper class through money and materials.

He often used his own personal experience to warn Cao Cao, who wanted to become a scholar.

"This era belongs to the era of eunuchs and those who can flexibly use the power in their hands."

"It's not the stupid decision of those so-called celebrities who give up everything for their own fame and fortune."

"Being as close as my adoptive father is enough to make the Cao family completely become a family, unlike the powerful one in the county now."

Whenever Cao Cao heard his father admonishing him in this tone, he always went in one ear and out the other, without lingering in his mind at all.

These are all side streets and cannot be used for big scenes.

Sometimes Cao Cao would even stand up and glare at Cao Song to retort.

"Don't you know what the scholars outside are talking about my Cao family?"

"Every time I go out to a party, no matter how much I, Cao Cao, pay and book the whole place, I can't stop the ridicule and ridicule hidden behind it."

Cao Cao burst into tears, this was not the result he wanted.

But after all, his adoptive grandfather was a eunuch, and the Cao family relied on eunuchs to gain momentum and reach their current situation.

This is not something that a small legitimate son of the Cao family can change.

Or maybe this general trend is not something he can change now.

Cao Cao often fantasizes.

If Runan Yuan Shao were in his own situation, what choice would he make?

The domineering attitude during the review on the first day of the month single-handedly forced the two brothers Xu and Shao to look coldly at each other but still chose to bow their heads.

He is obviously a child of a local hegemonic family in Runan, but he never has the bullying attitude when dealing with others.Or maybe Cao Cao didn't show such a gesture to me.

The Cao family had nothing for Yuan Shao to plot, so how could he let Yuan Shao go to great lengths to seek praise for himself, thus offending Xu Shao and Xu Jing.

When he learned that an angel came and came to Cao's family.

He immediately pushed away Cao Ren, who was always unkempt as a flying eagle lackey, and ran towards home quickly.

Cao Ren, who was left confused, watched his brother disappear without a trace.

"Father, the angel is here?"

Cao Song snorted angrily: "It has nothing to do with you."

He is the heir to whom Cao Cao is most valued.

However, no matter what Cao Cao did, he always liked to go against the route he had arranged.

But this was his son after all. He was beaten and scolded, but it had no effect.

On the contrary, Cao Cao's arrogance grew over time.

Cao Cao smiled stupidly and wanted to step forward and snatch the document from Cao Song's hand.

Cao Song, who had already planned this, sneered.

"Since the angel has arrived, why don't you stay and rest for a few days? People have come from afar. We are the master's family. If this matter spreads, others will laugh."

Seeing that he could not get the document, Cao Cao chose to give up. When he learned that the angel left without stopping for a moment, he suddenly felt that his father had gone too far.

Angels are servants dispatched by His Majesty the Emperor in the Luoyang Court. Although their status is low, they are always favored by the officials below because they can serve the Emperor on a daily basis.

Cao Song looked at Cao Cao with a concerned look on his face, and instantly had the idea of ​​pushing him back.

He hated iron and scolded him: "Your father is just such a common man who doesn't know the rules. If his father were like that, how could he be the ninth minister of the imperial court now? What a fool. He flies around like an eagle all day long and doesn't know how to cultivate his moral character. He still goes out to fawn over. Yuan’s family.”

Cao Song sighed, and countless lines suddenly appeared on his face that was already full of wrinkles.

"That Yuan family is arrogant and arrogant. He uses his old officials and students to spread all over the court. He regards me, the Cao family, as a lowly person. Since you are a descendant of the Cao family, how can you choose to curry favor with your opponent?"

Cao Cao immediately retorted: "The children of the Yuan family are not exactly what my father said. At least Yuan Benchu ​​treated me quite favorably."

When Yuan Shao was mentioned, Cao Cao immediately became interested.

"If he hadn't disregarded his reputation to seek praise for me, I still don't know when I would be able to join the ranks of scholars."

Not to mention that it was okay, but at the mention of scholars, Cao Song was like lighting up a firecracker, and he immediately blew his beard and glared at the innocent-looking Cao Cao.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Cao tremblingly, and then cursed: "Then if Yuan Shao treats you as a toy, you still don't know your character. My father is afraid that one day in the future, someone will sell you, and you will even have to wait for a while." Think about the good of others."

"Nowadays, no one knows that I, the Cao family, are very close to the eunuchs, but you do the opposite and compete for the reputation of being called Yuedan Ping. Don't you know that you have picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon?"

Cao Cao seemed to be pressed to the tail, his face turned blue and then turned white.

"Then Yuan Shao is not the kind of person his father said he was. What's more, if I get closer to the scholars, it's because I, the Cao family, can have more paths in the future."

"In case the Grand Tutor learns of Cao Cao's comments and thinks of recruiting me, then I, Cao Cao, can say it out loud."

"Although I, Cao Cao, am a eunuch, I still have a big heart and want to be a man who takes credit for the imperial motto."

Cao Cao dreamed of a better future, but he didn't know that what was waiting for him was a slap in the face.

Cao Song saw that his son was getting more and more outrageous, and he was so angry that he immediately took action.

Anyway, Cao Cao was rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and he was durable.
