Chapter 17: Three Princes!


"Okay, okay, stop arguing.

Cao Cao frowned and covered his head, looking indeed a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Cao Chong and Cao Pi naturally stopped arguing and stood in front of Cao Cao honestly.

"It's windy here, let's go to Mingguang Palace, waiter, go cook some wine and food, and my father and son will have lunch here."

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was generally two meals a day, but this was just the living condition of ordinary people, in fact, if you want a noble person like Cao Cao Cao Chong, it is normal to eat five meals a day.

One meal in the morning, one meal at noon, one meal in the middle of the afternoon, one meal in the evening, and then a late-night snack if it's late.

The difference between the rich and the poor, not to mention the fact that it has been 16 years since Jian'an, even in later generations, is very huge.

So in terms of eating, Cao Chong felt that the ancient times still had to win over the later generations.

Yilai stretched out his hand to eat and opened his mouth, this day is not too comfortable.

Cao Chong and the others followed Cao Cao back to the Mingguang Palace, Cao Cao knelt on the main seat, and Cao Chong and Cao Pi sat opposite each other on the left and right sides of His Royal Highness.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Cao Chong and Cao Pi: "Don't be restrained by the two of you, Lone is your father, this palace is your home, how can there be a reason to be restrained when you get home."

Cao Chong hurriedly said yes, and relaxed his posture, while Cao Pi was still sitting upright.

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi and shook his head, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, Cao Cao changed to a more comfortable posture and said to His Royal Highness Cao Chong and Cao Pi: "I have heard of Zhuge Kongming and Sima Zhongda that you both mentioned, and none of them are good things. ” None of them are good Cao Chong and Cao Pi were both stunned for a moment, not knowing why Cao Cao would say such a thing.

Cao Cao saw the puzzled look on Cao Chong Cao Pi's face, and said, "The first reason why they are not good things is because they are too smart. ” "That Zhuge Liang did things for Liu Bei before, every step he asked Liu Bei to take was to give birth to a layer of cold sweat on my back, such a wise person, if he can control it, he will naturally be a good card in his hand, but if he can't control it, he will eat himself, which is not good."

Cao Chong knew that this was Cao Cao reminding him, and hurriedly saluted Cao Cao.

In fact, Cao Chong was not touched much in his heart.

The reason why he allowed Zhuge Liang to drink and have fun in Fengyue Field was naturally because of his jealousy of Zhuge Liang.

Although Cao Chong values Zhuge Liang's talents, if Zhuge Liang does not open his heart to himself and show his allegiance for a day, Cao Chong will not believe him for a day, because trust is mutual, which is the same as the love between the two.

Both parties pay half and half, which is the best state, but if one party pays too much, then the love will not last.

Similarly, if Cao Chong trusted Zhuge Liang more than he was loyal to him, then Cao Chong would not reuse him.

Because this allegiance doesn't last long.

As for why Cao Chong wanted to fight for the position of this envoy, it was because Cao Chong really didn't have anyone else in Yecheng.

Xu Shu is a counselor, there are a lot of things every day, and he can't leave, and Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are both talkers, but Pang Tong still has to help him take care of government affairs, and he can't go far.

After Zhou Budo and those people were thrown to Luoyang by Cao Chong, it seems that there are really only Zhuge Liang left around Cao Chong.

After all, Zhuge Liang is still his own person on the surface, and Cao Chong is also waiting for Zhuge Liang to reveal his heart to himself.

Instead of letting this position be taken by Cao Pi, it is better to give it to Zhuge Liang.

This is what Cao Chong thinks in his heart.

But Cao Chong is this idea, but Cao Pi will not lose his immediate interests.

So he saluted Cao Cao and said: "Father, although Sima Yi is wise, but Erchen thinks that he can control him in his hands, he is not afraid, he can only become a pawn in the hands of Erchen, but Cangshu, after all, he is too young, if Zhuge Liang makes some stumbling block, Cangshu will not suffer."

The more Cao Pi spoke, the more righteous his words became.

"If Cang Shu is a few years older at this time, then the position of this envoy is naturally for Cang Shu's people, but Cang Shu is still too young, in case Zhuge Liang is full-fledged, wouldn't Cang Shu be uncontrollable, and be played by Zhuge Liang in the palm of his hand."

After saying this, Cao Pi arched his hand at Cao Cao and said: "Therefore, the son hopes that his father will not make it difficult for Cangshu, and this envoy will be handed over to Sima Yi to do, presumably with Sima Yi's talent, he will definitely be able to do this for his father." ” hehe Cao Chong sneered in his heart, he had discovered Cao Pi's ability to confuse black and white.

In the previous argument with Cao Zhi, Cao Pi directly deducted a childish and stubborn label for Cao Zhi, which made Cao Zhi mad, and at the same time made him kicked out of the game.

Now Cao Pi uses the same method to deal with himself.

But it's a pity that his weaknesses are not as obvious as Cao Zhi's, Cao Pi can't see his stubbornness, and he can't say that he is stupid, so he uses his age to talk about things.

Compared with Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, Cao Chong is indeed too small.

According to Cao Pi's words, you Cao Chong is so small, how can you control Zhuge Liang, it's better to come back in a few years, leave this matter of An Ma Chao to me This trick is a disguised scolding of Cao Chong's milky smell, if it was Cao Zhi, I am afraid that I would have been so angry that I would have to do it with Cao Pi at this time, but Cao Chong is not Cao Zhi, even after listening to Cao Pi's words, Cao Chong's mind is still very clear except for sneering a few times in his heart.

"Second brother, what you say is wrong, although Cangshu is still young, but in terms of looking at people, he is not bad, and there is the second brother and his father taking care of it, I am afraid of being plotted by the villain" Cao Chong's words mean that although I am young, my wrist is not small, even if my wrist is not good, there is not you Cao Pi and Cao Cao in the back The sky is falling, there is a tall one on top, where do I need to be afraid "Cangshu" Cao Pi heard Cao Chong say this, obviously to continue to argue with Cao Chong.

And what Cao Cao was afraid of was the quarrel between the two people chattering in front of him, so Boss Cao waved his hand and said to Cao Chong Cao Pi: "Don't quarrel with you two brothers, there is no result in arguing, but it hurts the brotherhood." ” Cao Cao paused and continued: "Although what Zihuan said is not good to listen to, but if you listen carefully, it does make some sense, Cangshu, you are still young, and the candidate for the envoy this time is that Sima Yi." ” When the "father" heard this result, of course Cao Chong did not agree, and hurriedly wanted to speak.

Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling Cao Chong to be calm and calm.

"Don't be impatient, let Gu finish his words first, what Zihuan said is not bad, you are young, you have not dealt with various things like Zihuan, recruiting An Ma Chao is a major matter of the country, there must be no accidents, and this matter will be handed over to Zihuan."

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Cao Pi saluted Cao Cao and said loudly: "Erchen must do his best to successfully complete the matter of recruiting An." ” Cao Chong naturally had an unwilling look on his face, but he could only swallow the depression into his stomach.

Anyway, he also took a lot of credit, although the meat was still robbed by Cao Pi Cao Cao could naturally see the frustration on Cao Chong's face, and then said: "Cangshu, you don't need to be frustrated, Zihuan is right, you are still young and need to exercise, in this way, after the Shangshi Festival, you will go to Lingjun to be a third prince Cao, this position is the most capable of exercising people." ” Sangong Cao The smile on Cao Pi's face instantly froze, but Cao Chong's face gradually showed a smile.

This reversal is really interesting:
