Cao Thief

Chapter 565 The Confidante (22)

Dad?

Cao Peng is dumbfounded!

Why is daddy here?

And looking at the posture of the stars holding the moon, it seems to be the leader.Could it be that……

In Cao Peng's mind, a thought that seemed to him to be extremely absurd suddenly flashed across: Father, is the governor of Liangzhou?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is absurd.

What is Cao Ji's situation, Cao Peng knows best.

When he was reborn, Cao Ji didn't know a single character.And in his personality, there is a kind of idle disposition that goes with the situation.

At that time, Cao Ji didn't like to fight with others, and he didn't like to provoke right and wrong.

Guarding the small shop in Zhongyang Town has no big ideals.

It can be said that if Cheng Ji hadn't bullied his mother, Mrs. Zhang, Cao Peng sneaked into Cheng's mansion and killed Cheng Ji in a rage, Cao Ji might not have left Zhongyang Mountain, and he might have stayed in Zhongyang for the rest of his life. Old in town...

Later, I went to Xudu.

Taking advantage of the situation, Cao Ji took advantage of the Three Treasures of the Horse to serve as the supervisor of Heyi Workshop, thus embarking on his official career.

But what really made him famous were the 36 Tiangang knives.It is precisely because of this that he has won the title of Yinmo Juzi.Although even Cao Ji himself didn't want to admit it, everyone believed it!Since then, as his knife-making skills have improved, his reputation has also grown.And into Cao Cao's eyes, it is because of Cao Gongli and Cao Gongche that he won the title of Marquis of Fengche.

Of course, Cao Ji's title is largely derived from the achievements of Deng Ji and Cao Peng in Haixi.

As a result, Cao Ji soared into the sky.

However, Cao Ji's knowledge has always been criticized.

So there was Cao Peng's act of looking forward to his father Jackie Chan and doing a strange essay of [-] characters.It was at that time that Cao Ji began to study.He also got acquainted with Liu Ye and met many famous people.If it is said that Cao Ji relied on Cao Peng to make his fortune before the appearance of the eight-hundred-character novel; then after the appearance of the eight-hundred-character novel, Cao Ji gradually gained his own connections.

In the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Ji became the captain of the city gate.

But people who are familiar with the situation know that Cao Ji was able to become the captain of the city gate because Cao Peng agreed to give up Haixi's interests.

It's an exchange!
In the past two years, Cao Ji has done nothing in his position as the captain of the city gate.

Most of the things are left to Cao Zun to take care of.Wen has Cao Bin and others to assist, and Wu has Niu, Jinniu and Yin brothers, so he is safe and stable.

If this form is followed, Cao Ji will be in the position of Jiuqing at most in the end.

Being a master craftsman is the most promising choice.

However, no one thought that Cao Ji could be the governor of Liangzhou.

This is the court official with a salary of ten thousand stones, Cao Ji, is it really suitable?
But if you change the angle, you will find that Cao Ji is really the most suitable candidate for the governor of Liangzhou.

First of all, he is Cao Peng's father, Cao Peng's father.

From this relationship, Liangzhou's arrogant soldiers will never make things difficult.Especially the three towns in the northwest, Zhangye, Wuwei, and Hexi counties, all know Cao Ji, and even respect him as uncle, and have a deep friendship.Shi Tao and Pang Tong stayed in Xudu for three years, lived in Cao's house, and met Cao Ji every day, so naturally there was no need to talk about this relationship.

And Bu Zhi?

His cousin is Cao Peng's concubine, and Cao Ji can be regarded as his elder.

And I have followed Cao Peng for the longest time, so it is impossible to fight against Cao Ji...

As for Wang Mai, he will bow his head and obey orders.

As early as Wang Mai was in Zhongyang Town, he called Cao Ji his uncle, which can be said to be the best of the whole family.Just as Cao Peng regards Wang Meng as his adoptive father, Wang Mai also regards Cao Ji as his father.His mother died early, and he was taken care of by the Zhang family, and he has a deep relationship with the Cao family; Deng Fan is a younger brother of the Deng Ji family.His parents have been working in the Cao Mansion, and they have known each other since the second year of Jian'an, and that is also a deep friendship.In other words, among the three counties in the northwest, the two generals with the most military power will trust Cao Ji.

One is the captain of the western region, supervising Hehuang; the other is the general who conquers the Qiang, and he is the general of the Western Qiang.

In addition, Xia Houlan was born and died together with Cao Ji.After the defeat of Wancheng, he protected Cao Peng's family and returned to Runan from Nanyang. This relationship is not even shallower than that of Deng Fan and others.What kind of strength is the full support of the three towns.In other words, as long as Cao Ji arrives in Liangzhou, he will have more than half of the power in his hands.

Don't forget, there is another Hao Zhao in Longxi, who also respects Cao Ji as an elder.

And Cao Hong in Chang'an has benefited a lot from Cao Ji.

From the second year of Jian'an, Cao Hong got at least twenty treasured swords from Cao Ji, each of which made a huge profit.

With such a relationship, how could Cao Ji be afraid of making things difficult?
As for Zhao Ang in Longxi, Yan Xing in Lintao, and Gongying in Jincheng... No matter whether they believe in Cao Ji or not, they will not be embarrassed for Cao Peng's sake.In this way, [-]% of Liangzhou's power would be in the hands of Cao Ji.

This is something even Wei Duan can't do!
In fact, Cao Ji was the governor of Liangzhou, and the biggest resistance was the Guanzhong gentry and court.

However, in terms of seniority, it seems that Cao Ji's career as a lieutenant at the gate of the city gate and governor of Liangzhou is not too much.

During his eight years in court, he also made many contributions.

For example, in the fourth year of Jian'an, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou. It was Cao Ji who built the Cao bus, which eased the drought in Yuzhou.

Of course, who made this Cao bus?
Now no one cares.Whether it's Cao Peng or Huang Yueying, if they are willing to give Cao Ji the credit, who can tell?Therefore, it is basically impossible to refuse with qualifications.The royalist party died down, and Liu Guang, the marquis of Linyi, also admitted in private that Cao Ji was the most suitable candidate at present.

The royalists couldn't stand it anymore, and only the Guanzhong gentry remained.

Originally, the Guanzhong gentry also wanted to win over the candidate for the governor of Liangzhou.

But I don't know why, just a while ago, Huangfu Jianshou of Chaona, and Sili Xiaowei, Wei Ji, representing the Hedong Wei family, suddenly expressed their opinions, saying that Cao Ji is the most suitable candidate for the governor of Liangzhou .

Hongnong Yang immediately expressed his approval.

It caused the Guanzhong nobles to fall apart all of a sudden, and no longer persist...

Among them, how many conflicts of interest are there, and how many transactions are there?Cao Peng didn't know.

According to Cao Ji himself, even he did not expect that he would become the governor of Liangzhou!Even when Guo Jia ran to tell him the news, he thought Guo Jia was joking.Who knows, this thing is actually true!
How much ability you have, you know.

Cao Ji was also panicked at the beginning.

To put it bluntly, he is a craftsman.Even if one is literate today, at most he is a craftsman dressed in literati clothes.

How did he suddenly become a prince in charge of a state?

Later, Guo Jia said to him: "Does the world know how important Liangzhou is?"

"I don't know."

"Does the world father understand that Youxue has put so much effort into Liangzhou?"

"This one……"

"As far as I know, Youxue almost devoted everything to laying down the foundation of Hexi.

Then there was the change in Liangzhou today... If someone else goes there, I'm afraid that Youxue's hard work will be in vain.The father's going to Liangzhou today is not to take advantage of Youxue, but to keep his life in Liangzhou. "

You want to talk about getting promoted and getting rich, becoming famous?

Cao Ji didn't want to go!

He would feel that he stepped on his son and became the governor of Liangzhou.

But if he was the governor of Liangzhou to save his son's hard work, then he would definitely be willing.

The two seem to have little difference, but to Cao Ji, they have different meanings.This is also the difference between a hero and an ordinary person.Cao Ji's vision is not high, and he is not the kind of person with great ambitions, and his ability is not even as good as Wang Meng's.But he is Cao Peng's father, even if he risked his life, he still had to guard all the efforts his son had put in.

This is what a normal person thinks...

"Father, why are you here?"

"I'm here to keep your heart and soul for you."

In the Yamen of Lintao Mansion, Cao's father and son gathered together.

It's been two years since we left.

Ah Fu has lost weight, but looks very energetic.

"You got into a catastrophe this time, thanks to Fengxiao's help.

Sikong fined you three years old, don't complain, it's for your own good... Your mother has already bought property in Xingyang, and your father-in-law, your wife and children have all moved there.After arriving in Xingyang, don't make any more publicity... Do you know that after your mother heard that you caused trouble, she couldn't sleep for several days, and your elder sister had to rush back from Dongjun to accompany her day and night... But, You are doing well!It's no loss that Old Wang loved you so much before, and if he thinks about his spirit in the sky, he will also feel happy.In short, you don't have to worry about things here.Dad will take good care of you.If anyone dares to destroy your painstaking efforts, even if father risked his life, he would not let them go..."

Until this time, Cao Peng's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

With Cao Ji in Liangzhou, all his previous naturalizations will not be in vain!
I have to say that Cao Cao's arrangement is really ingenious.It's just that Cao Peng was a little puzzled. Let Cao Ji be the governor of Liangzhou. Why did the gentry in Guanzhong suddenly agree?He thinks that he has no friendship with Wei Ji and the Huangfu family.As representatives of the Guanzhong gentry, it's good that they don't make trouble, so why should they speak for the old man?
"Father, you are in Chang'an, have you met Captain Wei?"

"no!"

Cao Ji seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said seriously, "By the way, speaking of Chang'an, I have one more thing to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Do you recognize a woman named Cai?"

Cao Peng was taken aback, then nodded instinctively, "Did you mean Sister Cai?"

"elder sister?"

Cao Ji scratched his head and suddenly smiled, "Well, judging by her age, she is indeed much older than you. I heard what Zilian said later, it was Miss Cai, and she helped a lot. Originally, whether I could be The governor of Shangliangzhou is still unknown. It was this Miss Cai who entrusted her relationship and asked someone to talk about it, so she passed the appointment... Ah Fu, who is Miss Cai? According to Zilian, she has a lot of face It's a pity that I am older and have children.

Otherwise..."

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Peng blushed, "Sister Cai is the daughter of a famous scholar Cai Bojie, and she is a talented woman today."

"Cai Bochi?"

Cai Yong had a great reputation in Shilin, but he was dead after all.

For a grassroots person like Cao Ji, he has no influence at all...

Cao Ji said seriously: "I don't care who her father is, anyway I want to tell you, first, don't let Yue Ying and Xiao Zhen down, they are good women who have served your mother at home for the past two years; Miss Cai, you have to thank her well. Oh, if she wants, you can also marry her, but you can't be the main wife."

Daddy, how dare you say that!
Cao Peng looked at Cao Ji, a little dumbfounded.

That's Cai Yong's daughter, if I take her as my concubine, won't I be sprayed to death by those scholars?
However, endless gratitude suddenly surged in my heart.

He finally knew that Cai Yan took her daughter and left without saying goodbye because of that.For a while, Cao Peng was silent!

The heart of this strange woman made him feel extremely heavy!

only……

Cao Peng was in a trance because of his spirit.
