Lord Yuan

Chapter 74 Yuan Shao’s letter
Faced with the painless slap from his father.

To be honest, Cao Cao has long been used to it.

He was not born in the military, and due to many factors such as his fat body and lack of exercise, Cao Song's strength was much smaller than that of people of the same age.

Not to mention Cao Cao's background as a knight-errant.

Cao Cao could even joke with a smile: "My father must have burned the midnight oil and fought all night, so his physical strength was so weak. As he gets older, it's better to be more honest and responsible."

Seeing that Cao Cao was ignorant and dared to mock him, Cao Song's blood pressure instantly went up.

He stared fiercely at Cao Cao who looked indifferent.

Unfortunately, as Cao Cao said.

He couldn't think of beating Cao Cao for the moment. He hadn't seen the contents of the document in his hand yet.

After calming down his excitement a little, he slowly opened the document.

"The seal of the Grand Tutor's Mansion." Cao Cao arrived behind Cao Song at some point, saw the Grand Tutor's seal on it, and reminded him appropriately.

"It's obvious to you." Cao Song cursed angrily.

Then he didn't care about Cao Cao behind his back and started to read on his own.

"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, everything is waiting to be revitalized. The imperial court is in urgent need of the help of knowledgeable people. Knowing that Cao Mengde, a member of the Cao family, has a long-standing reputation, and although he has not reached the crown, he is still a rare pillar of the country, so he conscripted Cao Cao into the Taifu Mansion. ."

Cao Song's face became more and more weird. As he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong with this style of painting.

Taifu Chen Fan is not like other masters who can impress his mind through money.

Chen Fan, who always advocated the restoration of elegance and tranquility in the court, had always detested the behavior of selling one's official position.

And when he was able to be promoted to Sili Xiaowei, he actually had some tricks and bribed the eunuchs who were in power at the time to get such an official position.

He still remembered the person who awarded him the official seal and ribbon of Sili Xiaowei on that day.

It was none other than the current Grand Tutor Chen Fan.

Because of this, in fact, Chen Fan didn't like Cao Song who was the captain of Sili at that time.

The scene in front of him was something that Cao Song would never have imagined.

Taifu Chen Fan would actually choose to recruit my son, Cao Song, and Cao Cao to serve as an official in Taifu's mansion?
This series of operations really made Cao Song a little confused as to what was going on.

Could it be that Taifu Chen Fan has also begun to change his mind and wants to rely on the eunuch through his own line?

No, no.

Chen Fan has always been known as one of the three monarchs.

Chen Zhongju was strong in attacking, and Li Yuanli was strict in photographing.

It's hard to go up but it's easy to go down.

Zhongju was then under the three princes, and Yuanli was above the eight princes.

For such a person, even if Cao Song killed him, he would not believe that Chen Fan would surrender to the enemy.

But, how can this explain his choice to recruit his son?

My son is not a scholar.

Cao Song knew that during this period, Taifu Chen Fan had gained Dou Wu's power and vigorously used officials who had been dismissed due to the party's turmoil.

And among them.

All the officials were scholars from various counties, and there was absolutely no family of eunuchs like the Cao family.

This is enough to see the determination of Grand Tutor Chen Fan.

He wanted to completely overturn the bad situation when the eunuchs were in power, and used the powerful people among the scholars to gain support from the family behind him.

Chen Fan's move was fair and aboveboard, but it also left people speechless.

Even the eunuchs who had always held opposing views unanimously chose to cease their activities at this time.

In fact, Cao Song himself also understood that the eunuchs had gone too far in what they had done back then, and the horrific struggle was almost like eradicating the roots. Even he, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, felt frightened and frightened.

Fortunately, the Cao family relied on the banner of eunuchs. In that period when eunuchs were dominant, the power of the Cao family could be said to be overwhelming, but Cao Song himself did not want to pursue power too much.

He only likes the wealth that can be amassed, the more the better.Now, the situation has changed.

The scholar group known as the party members became the masters.

And this was exactly what Cao Song found strange.

The scholar group would not choose to accept a eunuch who would bring disaster to the party.

Even though this matter obviously has little to do with the Cao family.

Joint and several liability has been common since ancient times.

After all, the Cao family gained enough benefits in that struggle, which also showed in disguise that the Cao family was standing behind the eunuchs at that time.

When Cao Song was wondering.

Cao Cao, who was standing behind him, came to life in an instant.

When he saw it written on it, the Taifu wanted to recruit him into the Taifu Mansion as an official.

He even wanted to show Cao Song what a villain would look like when he succeeds.

Cao Cao laughed loudly and was very excited.

"What's the ghost's name?" Cao Song was startled by Cao Cao's sudden voice.

"This might be a trap."

"Father is too worried."

"Your grandfather was a eunuch, and the disaster of the party's imprisonment has just passed. Now, the scholars are planning to make a good settlement. How could they be so kind as to recruit you to join the officialdom?"

After all, Cao Song was well-informed and had a deep understanding of the struggles in the officialdom that were easy to hide and difficult to prevent, so he reminded Cao Cao, who was in high spirits, as if he had experienced it.

Cao Cao, who was suddenly splashed with cold water by his father Cao Song, suddenly woke up and recalled the attitude of those scholars towards him.

"Then what does Father think this Taifu means? Could it be that he wants to hold this junior Cao to account? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to spread the word like this?"

Cao Song pondered for a long time, and for a while, he didn't know what was wrong with it.

The two were speechless.

After a while.

The two of them were still silent, deathly silent.

Sudden.

The servants' shouts came from outside the hall.

After a while, a servant held a letter in his hand and presented it respectfully.

"Someone sent a special letter, and Mr. Cao will understand what he said."

Cao and Song were confused, and now another letter came.

He waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat.

Cao Song and Cao Song stared at each other, both wanting to see some news from each other's eyes.

"Meng De personally initiates." Cao Song looked at the first sentence.

Such a kind name made him a little uncertain.

Cao Cao seemed to be thoughtful and stood quietly aside silently.

"I think the angel sent by the Taifu has arrived. Meng De has a heart of loyalty to the emperor. Shao knows it very well. Because my master is now the Yongle Shaofu, Shaote asked the teacher to ask the Taifu for me to get an official position."

"Shao De met Taifu and knew that Taifu wanted to recruit educated people from all over the world to serve as officials in the court. After much thought, Shao felt that Mengde had an opportunity now, so he talked with Taifu all night long, and finally got Taifu's approval. You are recruited to join the government, and after you pass the official examination, you can become an official in the court."

"Handwritten by Yuan Shao."

pen to paper.

Cao Song looked at Cao Cao who was almost unable to suppress the overwhelming power in his heart.

"What is my son for?"
