Chapter 99
It is said that Cao Cao was bloodthirsty and liked to kill, but this time he encountered such a serious rebellion, Cao Cao still did not implicate it. The three tribes of Yi who killed Prince Fu and others were just small tribes such as father, mother and wife, that is, they killed Dong Cheng's parents, brothers, and wife, and other nearby branches, and did not implicate it in the sidelines, and even his wife's family did not move.
If this is based on the theory of the great tribes of the three tribes of witchcraft and Yi during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang or Emperor Wu of Han, even the Dong family of Qinghe and Wang family of Taiyuan would have to be uprooted. That would not be the case of one thousand people. I am afraid that more than 100,000 people would be implicated. Compared with several emperors of the ages and the hero Cao Cao, he can already be called the word "benevolence".
But even so, the Wang family in Taiyuan, who was an official or studying in Xudu, was still worried and silent. Moreover, the Wang family's leader in Xudu was killed, and birds of feathers gathered together to form a group. The snake was not able to have no head. The Wang family in Taiyuan urgently needed to find a new leader in Xudu.
Who is more suitable than Wang Hou?
Even his new chief of the Grand Secretary was secondary. That day, he and Guo Jia followed Cao Cao to attack and hanged Guiren Dong. Those who are interested know clearly. For the loyal family of the Han Dynasty, he was an absolute traitor, but for those who are ambitious and long for high positions, Wang Hou was the prime minister's confidant, and the absolute confidant! A man who is very popular!
Follow him and keep it like he was promoted to the Rockets, and he was successful all the way!
So, Wang Hou was unable to withstand the enthusiasm of Taiyuan!
Early this morning, Wang Hou's remote Funiu Mountain Villa opened with a creaking sound. He was sitting in a carriage. Wang Hou had just left the door in a daze. Suddenly, the door was filled with a thud.
In Wang Hou's stunned, "poor relatives in the valley" emerged one by one after another, crowded into his carriage, some handed them up with local products, while others held bamboo slips and poems.
"Nephew Wang, I am Uncle Wang Gao of your neighbor! Do you still remember it!"
"Greetings to Uncle Wang Hou. My nephew is Wang Huai, the descendant of Wang Xi in Qiyun Village. He came to see Uncle Master on his father's order!"
"Uncle Tuqiu, the youngest one is your nephew and grandson Wang Kedun!..."
At the end of the coup a few days ago, several relatives suddenly appeared to visit him one after another, and Wang Hou, who had just experienced the killing, felt a little relieved. But now, the dozens of "poor relatives" that emerged suddenly made Wang Hou almost confused. As he had no choice, he stood up helplessly and bowed a lot.
"Everyone..., relatives! Listen to me! Listen to my Wang Hou's words!"
Not to mention that it was really good, his voice, both old and young, all shut up quietly, and they all looked at him eagerly.
"The Prime Minister summoned Wang Hou to discuss matters. At that time, you must arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise you will be punished! You are all relatives of my Wang Hou, and you don't want me to be punished! In this way, I ask Uncle Fu to hold a banquet in the mansion. You all wait in the mansion first, and wait for Wang Hou to return from his post. How about the homesickness?"
"Uncle Wang is right! Everything is big! Everyone let me give in and let Uncle Wang go first!"
"Wang Zhen, what about you! Don't block my uncle's words!"
With the noise, Wang Hou could be seen coming out of the crowd. Zhao Yun in front of him hurriedly led the way. Sitting in the carriage, Wang Hou kept wiping his forehead.
Good guy, I didn’t think anything when I was alone before. Now the prince has fallen into obedience and has more relatives, but I can’t resist it.
He rushed along the way, but he was not late now. However, looking at Mr. Cao's gloomy old face sitting on the third-level steps, Wang Hou looked sad again. Now he really missed his time as a warehouse manager. Although he was not very strong, he had to nod and bow when he saw anyone, but he didn't have to stop! It doesn't matter if he was late or leaving early. He gave his work to his subordinates. Wang Hou was so idle that he was just busy with his side job.
Now, although everyone nodded and bowed when they left, they were completely tied here. They had just handed over more than 10,000 acres of land for public service, but as spring plows were about to be about to be plowed, he didn't even have time to plan production and meet his new tenant employees, and he had to nervously participate in Cao Cao's preparations for the north every day.
If it comes too late, Mr. Cao will serve him with a big stick!
However, the atmosphere of the meeting today was quite strange. Wang Hou had just sat down next to Guo Jia, and the latter immediately gave him a strange smile as if he was perverted and turned around again.
What's going on with this guy? I forgot to take medicine when I went out?
With a buzzing sound, the bronze bell of the discussion was suddenly ringing. The lobby, which was already a little noisy, was silent. I didn't have time to think about what Guo Jia's strange smile meant just now. With the report in his sleeves, Wang Hou was nervously trying to stand out.
The world has been very chaotic recently. When the campaign against Lu Bu last year, Lu Bu's good friend Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, had intended to surround Wei and save Zhao, attack Liang State to attract Cao's army to return. However, this guy overestimated his leadership ability. Before Cao Cao could worry about him, his general Yang Chou suddenly rose up and killed his prefect and sent his head to Xia Pi City to express his surrender to Prime Minister Cao's leadership.
But this spring, after seeing Cao's army retreating to Xudu, Hanoi County became restless again. The power of the fourth generation of Yuan Shao, Hebei, was fully exerted. The sturdy man who was once a disciple of the Yuan family killed Yang Chou, and Hanoi County wanted to surrender to Yuan Shao.
The geographical location of Hanoi County is extremely important. Not to mention spanning north and south of the Yellow River, the Yingchuan County of Xudu, which Cao Cao relied on to hide, is next to Hanoi County, located south of Hanoi. Once Yuan Shao returns to Yuan Shao, the battle of Guandu will not happen. Yuan Shao can use this as a base and push it to Xuchang along the Taihang Mountains. The battle of Cao Cao has nowhere to hide. Therefore, in recent days, Cao Cao has Cao Ren as the main general, Shi Huan as the deputy general, and has 10,000 soldiers in the army, intending to go north to attack Guqiu.
This requires food, and who should I look for in the grain dispatch? I look for him Wang Hou!
However, before Wang Hou could hand over the food transfer plan that he had formulated overnight last night, another person stood up in front of him and bowed heavily to Cao Cao.
"I am the minister of the minister, Wang Guang, pay my respects to the Prime Minister! I have something to report!"
"speak!"
"Prime Minister, the Prime Minister was the first day to be the chief of the family, Wang Hou, and the style envoy to control the "Clan Chronicle" to examine the filial and honest family in the world. However, the Wang family in Jinyang only has the name of the superior clan and enjoys the filial and honest family, but has no position as the chief clan. I think it is inappropriate!"
"In Xudu, the one who has both virtue and talent in Wang's family is the chief minister of the Grand Secretary Wang Hougong. The former leader of the Jingyuan Hall, removed the rebel prince's thief from Wang Hougong's parents to sacrifice, was already executed! The minister dared to ask Wang Hougong to return to his hometown and serve as the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan!"
No wonder Guo Jia looked crazy just now. It was not a waste of time to follow Cao ** Palace to kill the imperial concubine. Now Cao Cao has begun to repay his loyal subordinates one after another, and has promoted Wang Hou to the position of patriarch of the Wang clan in Taiyuan, which is one of the rewards for this contribution!
No wonder this morning, so many poor relatives came to block his house together!
Moreover, the last time Wang Hou had a hard neck to show his face to both Cao Cao and Wang Guang. This time, he was afraid that he would be stubborn, so Cao Cao even stood up in person, with kindness in his words, and shouted at Wang Hou with a smile.
"Wang Tuqiu, the last time it was because of his parents' filial piety. You are understandable. But this time, the prince obeyed the thief and plotted against him. God has helped you avenge this great revenge. Now that you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors to rest in the spiritual position, you will not postpone it anymore, right? That's really an unfilial person!"
Last time, I was afraid of being implicated, so I had to do it! If I sacrifice Mr. Cao again this time, I would be kicked by a donkey in the head! Wang Hou quickly stood up from the group of officials, bowed respectfully by Wang Guang in the middle of the court, and also used the classical Chinese language of this era to reply in a colorful way.
"The former king refused to return to the emperor because of his own personal reasons. He was already deeply guilty of revenge. He was punished by the Prime Minister. At this time, the hatred was repaid and the Prime Minister's advice was persuaded. How dare the minister refuse to obey? Thank you for your mutual respect and look at him. Although you are not talented and knowledgeable, you must be determined to do it!"
Good guy, after answering, Wang Hou, a little landlord who was originally not worth a fortune, transformed into a layer of golden light and became the patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan!!
However, as Wang Hou answered excitedly and Cao Cao nodded with a smile, the Secretariat Xun Yu, who was standing beside him, had a gloomy face. In addition, officials from the great gentry such as Yang Xiu, Chen Du, and Hua Xin frowned.
But this time, Xun Yu, who was always tough, avoided speaking, and Yang Xiu had nothing to say. The first major event in March was settled so smoothly!
