Chapter 73 Jiao Cao was shocked to hear the secret history
Chapter 73: Handing over the secret history to Cao Cao
Just when Cao Cao was sweating and not knowing what to do, Liu Zhang suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Meng De, are you planning something with the Yuan family and want to embarrass me?"
"No!" Cao Cao said quickly: "I sincerely make you a friend, how dare I do this?"
"It's okay if it's not!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Then it's between me and Yuan Xiaopang!"
Seeing Liu Zhang approaching step by step, Yuan Shu was surprised: "You...what do you want to do?"
"What do you think?" Liu Zhang slapped Yuan Shu on the face and said, "I told you that I am a martial artist, but you want to make trouble. I will give you ten breaths to apologize, otherwise you will have to lie down and go back!"
"This...this is our territory...you..." Yuan Shu could not have imagined that someone would dare to attack where Ying'er was.
"Ten...nine..." Liu Zhang really started counting down.
"High road, a good man won't take the immediate losses, but you still..." Cao Cao whispered in Yuan Shu's ear: "If you really get beaten in front of everyone, you will lose your face! You know, our champion prince
, except for the face of Your Majesty and the Queen, no one can come!"
"Yes...I'm sorry!" Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and apologized to Liu Zhang.
"Ah?" Liu Zhang pretended to be stupid and said, "I can't hear what you said!"
"You..." When Yuan Shu saw Liu Zhang raising his fist, he couldn't help but said loudly: "I'm sorry!"
"You look like a man!" Liu Zhang nodded and said, "I forgive you!"
After such a fuss, Yuan Shu was still in the mood to watch the performance, and he led the people away in despair. But Liu Zhang was in a good mood, found a good table, let the waiter have a banquet, and began to enjoy the singing and dancing. As for Liu Zhang,
Liu Zhang didn't really care whether it was for everyone to dance. Although ancient singing and dancing had a unique flavor, it was not Liu Zhang's hobby.
"Champion, you are worthy of being a champion. Among all the people I know, you are the most arrogant!" Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhang with a wry smile. Not far away, there seemed to be a little girl staring at him angrily.
.
"Actually, I am a very kind person!" Liu Zhang touched his nose and said, "If someone makes me feel uncomfortable, I will make him feel bad. If someone wants to make me feel bad, I will make his life worse than death! I will retaliate tenfold.
Pay it forward!"
"But this is everyone's territory..."
"So what?" Liu Zhang said with a smile, "She's just a geisha! If I'm in a good mood today and take her back to my house immediately, who dares to show his teeth to me? I'll knock out one of his teeth!"
Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhang dumbfounded. There were many children of wealthy families in Luoyang who wanted to kiss Ying'er's Fangze, but no one dared to take her back. But Liu Zhang not only said so, but also didn't care! Cao Cao picked up the wine glass and drank.
But he said: "The champion Hou Xiongfeng is so domineering, it's really hard to compare to him, so drink!"
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "Brother Cao, one day you have to come to Ying'er Fangze in person. I advise you not to be too affectionate. As the saying goes: A bitch is ruthless, and an actor is unrighteous. If you use affection towards this kind of person,
If it’s too deep, you will be the one injured in the end!”
"Cao Cao has learned a lesson!" Cao Cao picked up his wine glass and said, "Champion, I respect you!"
The guests and hosts enjoyed a banquet, but Liu Zhang was really happy, but Cao Cao was fake. After Liu Zhang left, Cao Cao prepared a generous gift and came to Fangze Pavilion to apologize to Lai Ying'er. As for Lai Ying'er?
If you haven’t forgiven him, then you won’t know!
Time passed day by day, and the Han Dynasty finally ushered in the fifth year of Guanghe. I don’t know why, but Liu Hong became more and more ridiculous. At the end of the year, Liu Zhang went to the palace to pay New Year greetings. He unexpectedly found that Liu Hong had built many commercial shops in the palace.
The palace maids were allowed to trade and sell. As a result, thefts and fights with each other in the inner palace often occurred. When Liu Zhang went to pay homage to Liu Hong, he discovered that Liu Hong was wearing merchant clothes and drinking and having fun with the merchant palace maids.
It made him very depressed.
On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Zhang entered the palace again, but was told that Liu Hong had gone to the West Garden. When he arrived in the West Garden, Liu Zhang saw Liu Hong playing with a dog from a distance. The dog was wearing a civil official's hat on its head and body.
Wearing a ribbon and holding the reins, he personally drove a cart pulled by four donkeys, galloping back and forth in the park. If Liu Hong were not the emperor, Liu Zhang would definitely ask him if he had a fever that burned his head.
Liu Hong's behavior soon spread out of the palace. As the saying goes: What goes up takes effect. Within half a month, Liu Zhang unexpectedly discovered that it was not only Liu Hong who was playing with dogs and driving donkey carts, but also many civil and military officials of the dynasty.
The prices of these things, dogs and donkeys on the market, are actually more expensive than horses.
The strangest thing is that during the first month of the year, a decree for amnesty came from the palace! Generally, a general amnesty for the world is either when a prince is born, or a prince, or the emperor succeeds to the throne. There is never an inexplicable amnesty for the world. However, Liu Zhang suspected that Liu Hong was the middle-aged man.
It’s weird, because many foolish kings seem to have been deceived by monsters and beauties. For example: King Zhou, Xia Jie, and King You of Zhou!
These matters were not under Liu Zhang's control, and he could not control them. But in March, Liu Hong found him because a plague broke out in Jizhou! What does the plague have to do with Liu Zhang? It turns out that during the New Year, Liu Hong only emptied the treasury into
Some money had been wasted, and he wanted Liu Zhang to think of a way to see if he could make some money!
Liu Zhang was not the God of Wealth, and the Yuan family was not an idiot. Even if he changed his mind, Liu Zhang could not make much money. The disappointed Liu Hong looked depressed wherever he went. In the end, Empress Dowager Dong felt sorry for her son and gave him an idea. Dong
The Queen Mother said to Liu Hong: "With so many official positions in your hands, aren't they just money?"
Liu Hong's eyes suddenly lit up. He struggled with the ten permanent servants and set a price for each official position and title, which was promulgated in April. Those who want to continue to be officials, among other things, must pay the price first! However,
, Liu Hong was still very conscientious, and he told Liu Zhang and his son not to pay! Poor Cao Cao, before he got involved with Luoyang Beiwei, he lost 800 gold!
The depressed Cao Cao didn't know if he wanted to graft the unpleasantness of spending money onto others. As soon as he took office as the northern captain of Luoyang, he set up the five-color stick. Within three months, Cao Cao had killed dozens of people who violated the rules.
The public security in Luoyang was calm, and Cao Cao also gained a reputation as a capable official.
On this day, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang were drinking in a private room in Mianyue Tower when someone knocked on the door. Of course, this was because Cao Cao was worried that he would never see Lai Yinger again, so he did not dare to take Liu Zhang to Fangze Pavilion, otherwise he would
No one will disturb their mood.
"Who is it?" While they were having a good drink, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang heard someone knocking on the door, and naturally they were not very happy.
"Squeak!" The door opened, and a man wearing a long robe with his face covered walked in.
When Liu Zhang saw the person dressed like this, he burst into laughter and said: "Brother, you want to rob, but you went to the wrong room!"
"How dare our family rob the champion?" A rough and arrogant voice with a hint of shrillness sounded very familiar to Liu Zhang. When the man took off the cloth covering his head, it turned out to be Jian Shuo.
"It turns out to be Master Jian!" Liu Zhang picked up the cup and poured him a glass of wine and said, "If you don't talk nonsense, let's drink this glass first!"
Jian Shuo was also a martial artist. Although his lower body was cut off, he still had a bold personality. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Good wine! However, we are not here to have a drink with you two!"
"Master Jian, if you have any important matters, just speak up! Could it be that one of your relatives committed something and you came to protect him?" Liu Zhang remembered that Cao Cao gave Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu a stick just a few days after he took office as the northern captain of Luoyang.
Damn it, he thought Jian Shuo was here to intercede.
"No!" Jian Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to ask Mr. Cao for help. If my uncle Jian tries to violate the ban, don't worry about me, just kill him with a stick. Shuo thanks you!"
"This..." Cao Cao and Liu Zhang looked at each other. You know, Jian Tu is Jian Shuo's uncle!
"Master Jian, sit down and speak slowly!" Liu Zhang looked at Jian Shuo with an angry look on his face and knew there must be something fishy in it.
"To be honest with you, the champion, I hate Jian Tu!" Jian Shuo poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp: "I entered the palace to be a eunuch all because of this uncle. Back then, my family was poor. I have been practicing since childhood.
Wu, I have practiced martial arts well and am ready to join the army. If I can get an official position, my family will not have to worry! But this plot is just for ten copper coins. They designed me to be castrated and sold into the palace as a eunuch.
At that time, I was only fifteen years old! I worked hard to practice martial arts, but I could only join the palace as a eunuch!"
Jian Shuo's eyes were red, and neither Liu Zhang nor Cao Cao knew how to comfort him. Jian Shuo continued to say: "It's okay to be an eunuch. At least I don't have to fight in battle! But later I found out that the reason why Jian Tu castrated me was
, because he took a fancy to my unmarried daughter-in-law! This is my biological uncle... It was so easy for me to get ahead in the inner palace. I suffered so much and shed so many tears, but he still dared to touch me
It's cheap to do evil outside under my banner, I hate it...Cao Cao, you have just entered the officialdom, and you need fame. If you kill Jian Tu with the stick, just think that I owe you a favor, and you can also get a favor.
For the reputation of being powerful, I wonder if you are willing to do so!"
Cao Cao is not stupid either. Jian Shuo has already said this. No matter how unwilling he is, Liu Zhang will take action. After receiving Cao Cao's promise, Jian Shuo wrapped himself up again and left the private room. In the private room, only the remaining
Cao Cao and Liu Zhang looked at each other in confusion.
"Oops!" Cao Cao pinched his face and felt a little pain. He asked inexplicably: "Champion, am I not dreaming?"
"Lao Cao, congratulations to you!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It's not often that a pie falls from the sky, and it's even more bizarre if it hits you on the head. However, I can tell you for sure that this is true!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "Wait until I kill Jian Tu, and then I'll treat you to a drink! I'm leaving first. From today on, I will stare at Jian Tu every day!"
Looking at Cao Cao's leaving figure, Liu Zhang was a little amused. History only recorded that Cao Cao killed Jian Tu with a stick, but did not say that Jian Tu and Jian Shuo had any enmity. However, the world is so wonderful, let alone uncles and nephews, even if father and son killed each other
Not a few of them. Suddenly, Liu Zhang pointed in the direction where Cao Cao left and cursed: "Damn it, damn Cao Cao, he said he invited me to drink, but he didn't pay the bill!"
