As the third son, Cao Zhi, his name was very smart, especially because he was very literary. He could write a beautiful article by picking up a pen. In addition, his appearance was also good, Cao Cao wanted to make him the crown prince. The eldest son Cao Pi,
After knowing this, I was afraid that I would not have a chance, so I went to Jia Xu.
Jia Xu knew the importance of establishing a good relationship after Cao Cao, so he told Cao Pi that as long as Cao Cao went on the expedition, he must go to see him off and then cry. So among the sons who sent Cao Cao on the expedition, Cao Zhi wrote an article to praise Cao Cao.
Only Cao Cao always cried loudly, bowed and bowed, which made others feel very sad.
After all, going out to fight is a fatal matter. The more well-behaved Cao Zhi acted, the more Cao Cao felt that Cao Zhi had no sincerity. Cao Pi even sent someone to bribe the servants around Cao Cao and let them say more of their own good things.
So Cao Cao was hesitant about the issue of establishing a prince. So he went to Jia Xu and asked, "I am going to establish a prince. Who do you think is more suitable?"
Maybe he had already known that Cao Cao would come, but Jia Xu deliberately refused to answer.
Cao Cao asked the reason, and Jia Xu replied: "I am thinking about how to answer, so I can't react immediately."
Cao Cao continued to ask, "What are you thinking?"
He replied: "I am thinking about the affairs of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao and his son back then!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately understood Jia Xu's intention, laughed out loud, and immediately appointed Cao Pi as the crown prince.
In October of winter, craftsmen worked day and night, and finally built the palace of King Wei. They sent people to other places to collect strange flowers and fruits to decorate the mansion. An envoy went to Dongwu, met Sun Quan, and passed on the decree of King Wei.
When he went to Wenzhou to get oranges, Sun Quan happened to be the King of Wei, so he sent someone to select more than 40 ducts of oranges in the city and sent them to Ye County overnight.
Halfway through, the person who picked up the things felt very tired and rested at the foot of the mountain. He saw an old man, who opened his eyes, lame his legs, wore a white hat on his head and a green dress, came.
The porter saluted in front of him and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Can I help you?"
Everyone was very happy after hearing this, so the old man carried him five miles each, but the things he had encountered seemed to be much lighter. This made everyone feel very confused. Before leaving, the old man said to the official who sent the oranges:
I am an old friend of the King of Wei. My surname is Zuo, my name is Ci, my name is Yuanfang, and my name is Mr. Wujiao. When you arrive in Ye County, you can explain what I mean." After saying that, I left.
The man went to Ye County to meet Cao Cao and presented the oranges. Cao Cao cut it open and saw that it was all empty shells and there was no content. He was very surprised and asked the man, and the man told Zuo Ci about it.
The King of Wei, however, was very strange. Cao Cao refused to believe it and was about to kill him. At this time, the clerk came to report and said that there was a man named Zuo Ci who came to ask for a meeting.
Cao Cao summoned him in, and the man who went to the oranges quickly defended him: "This is the person we met on the way!"
Cao Cao reprimanded: "What kind of magic did you use to take away all my fruits?"
Zuo Ci smiled and said, "How could such a thing happen?" After saying that, he took a tangerine and found that it was all in it. Cao Cao opened one with doubts, and there was still an empty shell inside, so it became even more strange, so he gave the seat to Zuo.
Ci, ask for the specific reason.
Zuo Ci asked for a lot of meat, Cao Cao ordered him to drink five dou of wine, but he was still not drunk. After eating a lot of meat, he couldn't eat enough. Cao Cao asked, "What kind of magic did you use?"
Zuo Ci said: "I have been learning Taoism in Emei Mountain in Jialing, Xichuan for more than 30 years. Suddenly, I heard that a voice in the stone wall called my name. I was going to see what happened, but there was nothing. I just passed like this.
Many heavens, suddenly the thunder shattered the stone wall, and I got three volumes of heavenly books called "Dunjia Tianshu". The first volume is called "Sky Dun", the middle volume is called "Di Di Dun", and the second volume is called "Man Di Dun", and the sky Dun can fly clouds and fog
Ascend to become an immortal, escape from the earth can penetrate stones, escape from the human body can travel around the world, hide shapes and transform, fly swords and throw swords, take off other people's heads, and be the most powerful minister. It is better to retreat and go to Mount Emei to practice, I use
These three heavenly books are here to give away!"
In fact, Zuo Ci exaggerated the power of the Dunjia Heavenly Book. Human Escape has always been in Kong Ming's hands. It is full of profound strategies and military arts, focusing on the basis of governing the country and marching and fighting. Earth Escape is a book of pure magic, telling
What is the various magical skills that call the wind and rain, and bring thunder and wind, are higher than the "Taiping Heavenly Book" learned by Zhang Jiao, and Tiandun is a book about the rules of nature. Those who understand can become immortals and eventually become
The immortal swallows and exhales the energy of the universe.
At present, Zuo Ci used the three volumes of "Dunjia Tianshu" as bait to attract Cao Cao to practice. Cao Cao said: "Actually, I also want to retreat bravely, but there is no other person in the court who can replace me."
Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Liu Bei in Yizhou is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, why don't he give him the position? If not, I will use the magic of the flying sword to take away your head."
After hearing this, Cao Cao was very angry and said furiously: "So you are Liu Bei's detailed work!" He called someone to take Zuo Ci down, and Zuo Ci laughed wildly.
Cao Cao asked more than a dozen soldiers to arrest Zuo Ci and tortured them. The prison guard used a lot of strength to beat him. When he looked at Zuo Ci, he just slept soundly and felt nothing at all. Cao Cao was very angry and asked the soldiers to take him.
Dasha locked Zuo Ci and sent him to prison for detention. When he saw him again, Zuo Ci was lying on the ground without any damage. He was detained for 7 days without eating anything. When he saw him again,
Zuo Cizheng sat on the ground, and the color on his face turned red. The jailer reported to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao released him out to ask.
Zuo Ci said: "I can't eat for ten years, but I can eat a thousand people every day, so I can't raise them!" Cao Cao had no choice.
On that day, the officials went to the Wei Palace to celebrate. While walking, Zuo Ci suddenly stood in front of the banquet wearing wooden shoes, and everyone felt very surprised.
Zuo Ci said: "The king is all in water and land today. He is a banquet for the ministers. There are many rare treasures from all directions. I don't know what I need, so I am willing to get them!"
Cao Cao said: "I want dragon liver to make soup. Can you get it?"
Reply, "What's the matter?" After saying that, ink and a brush appeared out of thin air in his hand, and immediately drew a dragon on the wall. Then, with a wave of his hand, the dragon's abdomen opened, Zuo Ci took out the dragon's liver from inside, and blood continued
Cao Cao didn't believe it and scolded him, "This is what is hidden in his sleeve first!"
Zuo Ci smiled slightly and said, "It's the cold weather now, and the plants and trees are withered. I'll take whatever flowers the king likes."
Cao Cao said: "Only peony flowers are needed."
Zuo Ci replied, "This is too easy." So he sent someone to put a large flower pot in the middle of the banquet and watered it with water. A peony flower soon grew.
Everyone was very surprised and invited Zuo Ci to the banquet together.
