On the way to Juancheng, Cao Shuo saw the scene of people dying of hunger. After he came to Juancheng, he no longer studied with Cao De. He resolutely found the famous Zao Zhi to become his disciple. After getting

Cao Cao agreed and studied with Zao Zhi. At that time, Zao Zhi was working with Mao Jie to study farming strategies and grain storage methods.

"Second brother, you are so mean. You didn't tell us such a big thing. No wonder I haven't seen you in the past two days. It turned out that you went to Mr. Boxiao's house." Cao Zhen said dissatisfied to Cao Shuo who came.

"Zihuan, Zidan, why are you here?" Cao Shuo's fair face was full of exhaustion. He was surprised that Cao Pi and Cao Pi appeared here.

Mao Jie told Cao Shuo the whole process of how Cao Pi came to find him and Zao Zhi's house. After hearing this, Cao Shuo's worry dissipated a little.

"Zihuan, I didn't expect you to come up with such a good method." Cao Shuo sighed.

"Second brother, please don't praise me. I saw how angry Uncle Zi Lian was today. I'm not sure whether my father will agree." Cao Pi was very doubtful about whether Cao Cao could withstand the pressure of his clan gentry.

After all, Cao Cao had just occupied Yanzhou, so he couldn't suppress the noble clans too much.

"As you said, there are only a few people who signed the petition." Cao Shuo was discouraged after hearing what Cao Pi said.

"Who signed it?" Cao Pi asked curiously.

"Currently, there are only four of us, Xiaoxian, Xun Wenruo and Xi Zhicai. Your uncle Cao Zihe hesitated and refused," Zao Zhi replied.

"I talked a lot with Ziheshu, but he still rejected me after thinking for a long time. He also asked me to stop getting involved in these things." Cao Shuo said disappointedly.

Cao Pi did not expect that an enlightened faction like Cao Chun would reject Zao Zhi. It seems that the resistance to Cao Cao's acceptance of the farming policy and grain storage method is really not small.

"Second brother, didn't you sign it?" Cao Zhen couldn't help but ask after listening for a long time.

"Zizhao neither has an official position nor makes any suggestions, so it would be inappropriate to sign it..." Zao Zhi replied.

"Sir, you are worried that your father will have a problem with this." Cao Pi interrupted Zao Zhi and said, "If the second brother signs it, it will affect my father's judgment."

"It's good if Mr. Zihuan knows." Zao Zhi sighed and replied helplessly.

"I can sign my name. I also have some suggestions, right?" Cao Pi volunteered.

"Zihuan, Weng Weng said we can't get involved." Cao Zhen immediately persuaded Cao Pi after hearing what Cao Pi said, "If Weng Weng finds out, you will suffer."

"Zihuan, you just said that this would affect my father's judgment." Cao Shuo echoed Cao Zhen and said.

"Second brother, we are different." Cao Pi shook his head and said.

"What's the difference?" Cao Shuo asked doubtfully.

"I am not a student of the two gentlemen. When my father saw my name, he would naturally ask me why I signed it and how I signed it. This gave me one more opportunity to dictate it to my father. If the two gentlemen have any inconvenience, please write it down.

If so, I can tell you on your behalf."

Zao Zhi and Mao Jie looked at each other and reached a consensus after thinking for a long time.

"Zizhao, Master Zihuan is right. Go and get the pen and ink." Zao Zhi ordered Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo handed the pen and ink to Cao Pi, and Zao Zhi picked out a scroll of slips from the desk and handed it to Cao Pi. After Cao Pi opened the scroll, he picked up the brush and added his name after the four names.

"Master Zihuan, if the envoy asks you, how are you going to answer?" After Cao Pi signed his name, Mao Jie was still a little worried.

"In my capacity, I will tell you with emotion and move me with reason." Cao Pi replied.

"That's good. I'll leave everything to you, Master." Just as Mao Jie was about to ask, Zao Zhi took over.

"Sir, your words are serious." Cao Pi bowed and saluted to show respect.

"What time is it now?" Zao Zhi asked Cao Shuo who was beside him, "If there is time, I will go and present the farmland policy and grain storage method to the envoy now."

"It's already the time." Cao Shuo walked to the courtyard and looked at the clock and replied.

"What? It's already the time?" Cao Pi and Cao Zhen shouted in unison.

"Did you sneak out?" Cao Shuo asked when he saw the two of them looking surprised.

"How could we find this place if we didn't sneak out?" Cao Pi spread his hands and replied helplessly.

"Where can you sneak out?" Cao Shuo didn't know where in the house the two of them could sneak out of the house without the eyes of the servants and guards.

"We came out of the dog hole."

"Zilin is really harmful!"

"Do you have any snacks at home, sir?" Cao Pi asked hurriedly.

"There are some pastries on the plate." Zao Zhi was a little confused by Cao Pi's question and answered subconsciously.

"Thank you very much. Let's take our leave first." Cao Pi took out the handkerchief in his arms and packed up all the pastries on the plate. After saying goodbye, he took Cao Zhen and ran out of the courtyard.

"Zizhao, has Mr. Zihuan always been like this?" Zao Zhi looked at the backs of the two of them in a daze, and then asked.

"Zihuan has been like this since he was a child." Cao Shuo replied respectfully. He was thinking in his mind, what would Zihuan do with those cakes? This would be too rude.

"Zizhao, you go back to the study and continue reading. I'm going to find the envoy now." Cao Shuo heard the sound and stepped back. Zao Zhi packed up the books and walked towards the courtyard.

"Boxiao, why didn't you let me continue asking just now? There's nothing wrong with this matter." Mao Jie stopped Zao Zhi and asked.

"Xiao Xian, this son will become a great person in the future. I think we can completely trust him." Zao Zhi replied confidently.

Mao Jie looked at Zao Zhi's leaving figure and thought to herself, Bo Xiaoke must bring back good news.

……

Cao Zhen and Cao Pi were galloping on the street, forming a strange scene in Juancheng. Pedestrians found it interesting to see the two children, one fat and one thin, racing. They stopped to watch one after another. Some even used "Today" when bragging and chatting. Comparing the scolding of Confucian scholars in front of Cao Hong's mansion with the two children running in a race.

"Zihuan, what will you do if you are caught later?" Cao Zhen asked intermittently, panting.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"I have already thought of a way." Cao Pi patted his chest. Inside the inner pocket were the pastries that Cao Pi packed from Zaozhi's mansion.

"I shouldn't have gone out with you today." Cao Zhen felt infinite regret at this moment.

"You want to come with me, I'm not forcing you." Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhen's regretful expression and smiled.

"I didn't expect that I would get into such a big trouble just by going out with you. Wengweng knows that you signed the bamboo slips and I can't break your legs." Cao Zhen thought that Cao Pi was really overly optimistic.

"Weng Weng may not know." Cao Pi said as he lifted up his pants that were about to run away.

"Why didn't dad tell Weng Weng after he saw your signature?" Cao Zhen asked breathlessly.

"Father is not a child like us. Didn't you tell father about stealing grapes?" Cao Pi listened to Cao Zhen's simple and immature logic and secretly determined to train Cao Zhen. How could he be such a good General Zhenxi when he was a child? So well-behaved?

"Zidan, do you think I did something wrong today?" Cao Pi asked Cao Zhen after thinking briefly.

"I don't know." Cao Zhen replied intermittently while breathing heavily, "Weng Weng won't let you touch them, but the second brother is helping them. I can't figure out which one is right and which one is wrong."

"I think no matter who is right or wrong, it is always right to work hard for your own ambitions." Cao Pi somehow managed to say something that even he felt was a bit abstract.

"I need time to think about it carefully." Cao Zhen replied after thinking for a long time.

The two of them ran to the dog hole in the wall of the Cao Mansion. After breathing evenly, they got into the dog hole and returned to the Cao Mansion. The sun in the sky was about to set.

"Cao Zihuan! Cao Zidan!"

The two of them had just slipped to the door of the room when they heard Bian's voice from behind. Bian grabbed one of their ears with both hands, causing Cao Pi and Cao Zhen to moan in pain. Cao Pi did not expect that Bian's hands were stronger than Cao's. Yun was still big, so the pain made the two of them shed tears uncontrollably.

"Tell me! Where have you two gone?" Ms. Bian led the two of them into the courtyard and asked.

"Mom, we went to buy food for my sister." Cao Pi took out the packed cakes from his arms and said.

"There are so many pastries at home, do you two need to sneak out to buy them?" Ms. Bian cried as she finished speaking, her concern evident in her words, "Do you know how worried I am about you!"

Cao Pi looked at Bian's tears and felt so guilty that he could only pull Cao Zhen to reflect. Under Cao Pi's sweet words, Bian gradually regained his composure. Bian punished the two of them and not allowed them to eat dinner. The two looked at Bian.

After she stopped crying, she happily agreed.

"Zihuan, do you have anything else to argue with this time?" Cao Zhen asked, covering his red and swollen buttocks.

"No more." Cao Pi replied, also covering his red and swollen buttocks, "This time I didn't care about my mother's feelings."

"This is the first time I heard you admit your mistake."

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you think of what I said before?"

"What you said is so profound that I couldn't understand it for a while."

While the two were lying on the round table in the courtyard communicating, Dong Da's voice came from behind: "Young Master, the envoy asked you to go to the study to find him."

After hearing Dong Da's words, Cao Pi knew that Cao Cao had read the confession submitted by Zao Zhi. He stood up and walked towards Cao Cao's study. The sky was getting dark and the huge Cao Mansion became quiet.

,Cao Pi knocked on the door and walked into Cao Cao's study.

"Sit down." Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi coming and pointed to the seat next to him and said.

After Cao Pi sat down, he felt a burning pain in his butt, making him very uncomfortable.

"Has your mother calmed down?" Cao Cao asked.

"I've calmed down." Cao Pi replied with shame.

"You have done something big today." Cao Cao handed Cao Pi a very familiar letter, "How did you find Mao Jie and Zao Zhi? What did they say to you?"

"After seeing Mao Jie at Weng Weng's house yesterday, I was very interested in what he said. Today, Uncle Ji did not come to give lectures at home, so I wanted to find them to find out." Cao Pi replied, "They didn't say anything to me.

After listening to what they said and reading their bamboo slips, I took the initiative to sign them."

"You can come up with a way to divide the tenants from the ordinary people, and there is a reason for it." Cao Cao obviously did not intend to let Cao Pi go, and said to the point.

"The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters for thousands of miles. The people have lost one thing, and the thought of them is heartbreaking." Cao Pi memorized Cao Cao's "Hao Li Xing", and then said to Cao Cao with a solemn face, "Father saw the people's

I am also saddened by suffering. I want to do what I can to help my father. My signature on this bamboo slip can be regarded as a change of direction to persuade my father."

Cao Cao fell into deep thought after hearing what Cao Pi said. Cao Pi quietly watched Cao Cao frowning, his left hand habitually touching his chin, and his right hand holding the bamboo slip in his hand and tapping the table regularly. After a while,

Looks as usual.

"You will go on an expedition with me in a while. Spend more time with your mother at home these days, and practice archery in your free time." Cao Cao's words caught Cao Pi off guard.

"Going to war?" Cao Pi didn't expect that he would have to experience a war so soon, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"The imperial court sent Jin Shanglai to replace Liu Dai as the governor of Yanzhou. I asked Zixiao to lead the troops to guard the west. This kid has probably gone to Yuan Gonglu or Liu Jingsheng. There will be no peace in the land of Yanyu in the near future." Cao Cao.
