Cao Zhang looked back and saw Cao Cao approaching with a long sword. The tip of the sword scratched the stone slab, making a harsh sound accompanied by sparks.
"Father!" Cao Zhang threw away the red dates in his hand and knelt on the ground respectfully.
Cao Cao walked up to the three of them and put his sword across Cao Zhang's neck, "What did you just say? Did you hear clearly?"
"Father, I...I..."
Although Cao Zhang is brave, it is for others, for Cao Cao, his own father, if he dares to stab him a little, Cao Cao can beat him to death!
"Haha, are you asking your second brother and fourth brother to kowtow to you? You have such a big face? Do you want me as a father to kowtow to you, Mr. Cao Zhang, and admit your mistake?"
Cao Zhang was also a straight-headed person. While he was frightened, he spoke without thinking at all. "Of course I don't dare. My second brother and fourth brother can just kowtow to me. How can I ask my father to kowtow to me?"
Cao Cao gasped in anger, his beard was messy, he raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "You bastard! I will kill you today!"
"Father! Father, the third brother said something unintentionally. Father, please spare him."
"Yes, father, you hacked your third brother to death, how are you going to explain it to your mother?"
At this time, the brothers were not competing so fiercely for the heir, so their relationship was relatively harmonious. Of course, Cao Zhang, a tough guy, beating them up was another matter.
Although the two of them had just been beaten up by Cao Zhang, whether it was for superficial reasons or because of true brotherhood, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi had to stop Cao Cao.
Each of them hugged one of Cao Cao's legs. Cao Pi turned around and shouted at Cao Zhang, "Why don't you get out of here? Are you still here to make father angry?"
"How can a man be afraid of death if he dares to do something? Didn't you also say that? You have to admit it when you make a mistake!" Cao Zhang looked at Cao Pi with a stubborn face.
Cao Pi really hates iron now. Can't you see the situation clearly, you idiot? I tell you to admit your mistake, you have to choose a time, right?
"You two, get out of here, I'm going to kill this traitor!" Cao Cao was held tightly by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, unable to move.
"Aha, what are you doing?" At this time, Mrs. Bian came over with two maids.
In this world, Mrs. Bian is the only one who can call Cao Cao by his nickname. Who else dares? Of course, except those princes.
Mrs. Bian snatched the sword from Cao Cao's hand and threw it to the ground, "Even if they made a huge mistake, you can't punish them like this, right?"
"Xu Chu? Xu Chu? Where did you die?"
"The general is here." Xu Chu, who heard Cao Cao's call, quickly ran out from behind the door.
"Put these three bastards on their own, give them thirty punishments, and beat them hard!"
"Aha, you..."
"Shut up, these bastards are going to be alone today!" Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and roared, "Why don't you go and do it quickly?"
Xu Chu looked up at Mrs. Bian and saw that although she looked nervous, she did not plead for mercy, so he could only accept the order, "No."
"Ah Weng, Ah Weng..." A clear children's voice sounded, and Cao Pi's wife Zhen Mi led little Cao Rui over.
"Greetings to Aweng, greetings to grandma." Little Cao Rui broke free from Zhen Mi's hand and ran up all the way, first saluting Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian.
Then he saluted Cao Pi and the others and said, "I have met my father and my two uncles."
"Rui'er, why are you here?" Cao Cao's face softened a little, and he picked up little Cao Rui with a smile.
Six-year-old Cao Rui didn't show any panic at all in front of Cao Cao, who was furious just now. "Rui'er misses Aweng, so he came to visit him."
"Hahaha." Cao Cao pinched Cao Rui's nose, "You little naughty boy, did your grandmother ask you to come here?"
Cao Rui followed Cao Cao's gaze and looked at Mrs. Bian, shook his head and said, "Rui'er dare not lie to Aweng. My grandmother asked me to come and persuade Aweng to spare his father and two uncles. "
"Hahaha, your father and the others made mistakes, why did Aweng spare them?"
"The book says that people should be convinced by virtue, and it also says that it is the fault of a son not to teach his father. Fathers and others have made mistakes. As a father, I also have a responsibility. Therefore, we should give priority to education and supplement with punishment, so that they can change their ways. That’s it.”
"Rui'er, don't talk nonsense!" These words surprised Cao Pi, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Shut up!" Cao Cao scolded, and then faced Cao Rui with a smile on his face, "Didn't your mother teach you this?"
"Of course not, Aweng, Rui'er studies very hard."
Cao Cao was overjoyed and kissed Cao Rui on the cheek, "Hahaha, this is my Cao family's thousand-mile horse. With Rui'er here, the Cao family's foundation can be passed down for three generations and become strong!"
Cao Pi, who was kneeling on the ground, was nervous again, but this time it was because of excitement. What did Cao Cao mean when he said this? Did he mean to let him inherit the throne?
"For Rui'er's sake, I'll spare you three bastards and go back home to think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You're not allowed to come out without Gu's order!"
"Thank you father!"
"Come on, Rui'er, Aweng will take you hunting!"
"good."
When old people see their grandchildren, they feel particularly distressed and fond of them, especially their smart grandchildren.
Cao Pi was supported by Zhen and went back to his mansion. Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi said goodbye to them and went back to their mansions.
(When Cao Pi and Zhen Mi got married, Cao Zhi was only twelve years old. How could he be attracted to Zhen Mi? That’s nonsense!)
After getting on the carriage, Zhen Mi looked at Cao Pi with a distressed expression and took out a handkerchief to wipe the wound on Cao Pi's cheek.
"ah!"
Cao Pi grabbed Zhen Mi's hand and pulled her into his arms, "What Rui'er just said was really not what you taught her?"
Zhen Mi is indeed beautiful, and the grace between her eyebrows makes people want to stop seeing her.
Zhen Mi buried her head on Cao Pi's chest and replied softly, "Although I also study, how can I be so wise?"
Cao Pi wondered, "How is that possible? Rui'er is only six years old this year?"
Zhen Mi rolled her eyes at him, "Can't your son be a child prodigy?"
"Did he really think it up?" Cao Pi was a little surprised. In surprise, there was a bit of expectation and a bit of happiness.
Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "Of course not."
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
"It's Chen Qun. When he was teaching Rui'er, he told an allusion about persuading people with virtue, and wrote on the blackboard the following sentence: It's a son's fault if he doesn't teach his father."
Jing Chu did not keep the blackboard and chalk secret, and Liu Cong used this technology to gain some benefits from Cao Cao.
"Then what? It's gone?"
Zhen Mi nodded, "No, everything else is Rui'er's own thought."
"Hahaha, my son, Cao Zihuan, is better than his father!" Cao Pi laughed, hugged Zhen Mi and kissed her, "Madam, you have given me a good son for my husband."
"Stop laughing, Ziwen (Cao Zhang) is the same. I hit you so hard and beat you like this. Don't you care about brotherhood at all?"
When Cao Pi heard this, he smiled even more happily, "Today's beating was worth it. After you brought Rui'er here, it became even more worth it!"
"Cao Zihuan, have you lost your mind and gone crazy? How can you be so successful after being beaten?"
Cao Pi didn't want to explain. He held Zhen Mi and whispered softly in her ear, "Madam, Rui'er is so smart, do we have to give him a younger brother?"
Zhen Mi was too shy to look at him, "Are you still on the carriage? What are you talking about?"
