After a while, Deng Ai also took out a letter about Dong Zhuo and Zhou Xin working together to plot Yangzhou. After Cao Zhi showed it to him that day, he didn't ask for it back, so he kept it with him. Now Deng Ai is holding it quietly and tightly.
It. He reflects on his own body and his life goals.
When Cao Zhi walked out of the kitchen full of joy, his two personal guards were always guarding the door of the kitchen. Wushi was washing something by the well not far away, and the chubby child just now was playing around Wushi.
When Wu Shi saw Cao Zhi coming out, she wiped her hands on her apron, stood up, and walked towards Cao Zhi, "Prefect Cao is leaving?" Wu Shi just learned from chatting with two of Cao Zhi's personal guards,
It turns out that this young man who looks young is none other than Danyang Prefect Cao Zhi, who has been talked about in the streets of Liyang recently.
Cao Zhi nodded and signaled the bodyguard beside him to take out a bag of things. After taking it, he handed it to Wu Shi and said, "Yes, Madam Sister-in-law, this is Mr. Deng's salary during his tenure in Danyang. He left in a hurry and kept
It was not collected yet, so I brought it for him this time."
"Ah! Oh!" Wu Shi continued, wanting to welcome her but refusing. Little did she know that this was Cao Zhi's kindness. Deng Ai had spent some time in Danyang, but his salary was issued in Liyang Prefecture.
What kind of salary is there? Besides, when Wu Shi took the bag in his hand, he obviously felt that it was very heavy. It may be because of his usual salary. Women are always more practical than men, so from ancient times to the present, countless honest men have been corrupted by their women.
.
After Wu Shi took the bag, Cao Zhi squatted down, looked at little Deng Ai, who was about five or six years old, pinched his fat face twice with a smile, and asked: "Kid, what is your name?"
Deng Ai's son puffed up his chest and said proudly: "My name is Deng Zhong, and I am Deng Ai's son."
"Deng Zhong!" Cao Zhi recalled little Deng Zhong's name, then thought about it and praised, "Yeah! What a good name. Do you know why your father gave you this name?"
As Cao Zhi spoke, he held Deng Zhong in his arms, kissed his little face and asked. Deng Zhong replied without hesitation: "Father said that I must be loyal to the emperor and the world in the future."
Cao Zhi laughed when he heard Deng Zhong's sweet reply, "Okay, then when you grow up, you will become a high official like your father and be loyal to the world!"
Little Deng Zhong nodded in understanding. Cao Zhi put him down and casually took off a jade pendant from his belt, intending to give it to Deng Zhong as a meeting gift.
Little Deng Zhong suddenly looked at Cao Zhi seriously and said, "Uncle, did you bully my dad just now?"
Cao Zhi and Wu Shi were stunned, wondering why Deng Zhong would ask such a question. Wu Shi was about to scold little Deng Zhong, but Cao Zhi stopped him. Cao Zhi knelt down again, looked at little Deng Zhong lovingly, and said: "
No! Hey! Why do you ask?"
Deng Zhong looked at Cao Zhi angrily and took two steps back: "Because I saw dad crying. Dad said that men should not shed tears easily. I saw dad crying so sadly. You must have bullied him."
Cao Zhi looked at Wushi, who covered her mouth and looked at her son with a dumbfounded look. Then a burst of laughter rang out in the Deng family courtyard...
########According to customs, the third day of ancient funerals was the burial day, which was also the day of burial.
The east gate of Liyang attracted a huge funeral procession early this morning. All the soldiers and civilians in Liyang City knew that today was the day of the funeral of the late governor Chen Wen. The entire funeral procession numbered no less than 2,000 people, and the momentum was as huge as
At the funeral of any prince. One thousand of them were Cao Zhi's Danyang black-armored cavalry, who were responsible for clearing the way and guarding. The rest were Chen Wenjiajuan, relatives, and many officials from Yangzhou to express their condolences, as well as the governors of various counties.
Representatives sent.
The news that Cao Zhi led troops to Liyang has spread throughout the counties of Yangzhou. The governors who originally did not want to send people to attend Chen Wen's funeral could not help but send their cronies to come and see the excitement. Let's see how Cao Zhi plans to deal with this.
The new governor Chen, there is definitely a lot of excitement between the two of them. With the support of Yuan Shu, Chen Yu has been pushing into Liyang step by step to receive the official seal of the governor of Yangzhou and take office as the governor of Yangzhou. However, Cao Zhi has already taken the lead.
When he actually took over Liyang, according to well-informed sources, Cao Zhi had already subdued Liyang's troops and most officials. Now Chen Wen's son-in-law was nominally in charge of all matters in the state capital, but in reality they all required Cao Zhi's approval.
The funeral procession had just left the east gate and walked half a mile when they were met with the sound of hoofbeats. A group of about 2,000 people was slowly approaching them.
Cao Zhi, Zao, Zhou Cang, Deng Ai and others looked at each other and smiled. They knew that the person they were waiting for had arrived.
Cao Zhi nuzzled at Zhou Cang, who immediately understood.
"Drive!"
Zhou Cang immediately led a team of men and horses to rush out first. When the opponent's forward approached, he reined in his horse and stopped. Zhou Cang then asked Sima to shout to the incoming people: "Stop, who is coming? Tell me your name quickly!"
The team coming towards Liyang paused as the words were spoken, and then stopped. A person also appeared in the team, probably a military commander like Sima. I saw that the man had a hooked nose and was thin.
Yes, he said arrogantly: "If you are blind, you dare to be the driver of Mr. Chen, the new governor of Yangzhou, so get out of the way!"
Zhou Cang let out a "poof" and said, "The wild dog is barking here, please tell me its name!"
Not to be outdone, the other party said: "Xue Li, the new Sima of Yangzhou, is your grandfather. Today, I want you to see how powerful your grandfather is." As he said this, he was about to charge up on his horse.
It's okay not to sign up, but once you sign up, you immediately arouse a burst of ridicule from the funeral procession. Zhou Cang even laughed and cursed: "So you are Xue Li! How about it? It's great to visit prostitutes in Moling!"
When Xue Li heard that this man dared to expose his scars, he was so angry that he trembled with anger. He shouted and led a few people to gallop forward. But before he could get close to Zhou Cang, he was captured by Zhou Cang with a "take it down".
One by one, the spear handles were knocked off the horse's back, and they turned into a meat dumpling with three or two blows.
This action immediately aroused a burst of tension among the soldiers on both sides. The one who drew his sword drew his sword, and the two men and horses looked at each other with their swords at war.
Even though Cao Zhi did not have many troops today, they were all sophisticated and powerful. Cao Zhi also knew Chen Yu's itinerary and deliberately chose to hold the funeral today, intending to meet the new governor of Yangzhou for a while and show off his power.
Although Chen Yu said he was not out of the battle, he could still see clearly, and he also vaguely guessed that the deceased at the funeral might be Chen Wen. He heard about Chen Wen's death on the way to Liyang, and he joked to his subordinates at that time
, "Chen Wen died at the right time. There is no need to accept the imperial edict of being dismissed!"
Later, he heard the news that Cao Zhi led his troops to Liyang, so he stopped and took a look. He knew that this Cao Zhi was a figure who had been rising rapidly in Yangzhou recently. Such a figure, in this
When time comes to Liyang, there is always a plan.
