Cao Cao turned around and asked the groom to take his wife to Cao's mansion, and then he went to the fireworks place with everyone, drank and watched the dance. On the way, he and Gai Jun got on very well, and it was undeniable that Cai Yong was involved. Cao Cao and Cai Yong had a personal relationship.
Very good. This was thanks to his first great benefactor, Qiao Xuan. In the third year of Jianning (170), Cai Yong became an official for the first time and was appointed by Situ Qiao Xuan. Cai Yong got to know Cao Cao through Qiao Xuan at that time.
.
Mentioning Cai Wan's miraculous recovery from illness and Gai Jun being able to marry her, Cao Cao unconsciously revealed a hint of envy in his words.
"Damn! Does this dwarf have unrealistic illusions about my wife? The toad wants to eat swan meat!" Gai Jun, who had not cursed for several years, couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Fortunately, Cao Cao ordered him to stop, otherwise Gai Jun could not guarantee whether he would suddenly burst out and strangle the opponent to death, even though the history books claim that Cao Cao was very powerful in martial arts and had killed dozens of people and was invincible.
At the wine table, after three or five drinks, the topic gradually turned from anecdotes to political affairs, and they talked about the fight between the ministers and the eunuchs in October last year. The result was self-evident. It ended in a disastrous defeat for the former, and a total of members of the clan died.
Liu He, the disciple of the Three Lords, the former Taiwei, Chen Qiu, the Yongle Shaofu of Jiuqing, Wei Yangqiu, the guard of Jiuqing, and others. Everyone regretted Liu He's death. The whole thing was caused by him, and the conspiracy was leaked because of him.
It is a pity that Yang Qiu died. A mad dog like him died more than deserved. I just lament the misfortune of Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu was born in the Chen clan of Xiapi, Xuzhou. He was a great Confucian in Guandong and famous in the world.
Talking about border troubles again, Xianbei has become the top problem of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that it invades at all times, burns, kills, loots, and commits all kinds of evil. What is even more helpless is that since the attack on the grassland three years ago and the disastrous defeat of the entire army, the imperial court has been annihilated.
He has been unable to regain his strength for years. Xianbei entering the border county is like visiting his own back garden, and the battle reports sent are almost full of bad news. Under such a dangerous situation, at the end of last year, Bingzhou defeated Xianbei and preserved the territory of the state.
, it can be said that a bright light instantly illuminated the hearts of the Han people.
"Dong Bingzhou is indeed a man who came out of Liangzhou. He beat the Xianbei Hudogs who were running rampant in our territory and fled in panic." Someone praised.
Xu You said: "Dong Shijun is an old official of the Yuan family. He was able to take up the post of Bingzhou thanks to the gift of Yuan Gong."
Everyone agreed: "Mr. Yuan is the true capital of our country, and all the sages have returned to their hearts. Any one person from the palace can defeat Xianbei."
"Only the eldest brother can succeed the Yuan family. People like Yuan Jiujiao are not even worthy of carrying the eldest brother's shoes."
Yuan Shao smiled slightly and raised his glass to invite everyone to drink.
"The gang of eunuchs instigated Your Majesty to start a war against Xianbei. What was the result? It was a total defeat. In my opinion, if Dong Shijun was the commander, this would not be the case." Someone said to Yuan Shao. To praise Dong Zhuo openly is to praise the Yuan family secretly, why?
Happy but not doing anything.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "What you said went too far. The reason why Dong Shijun will win is that he knows the army well, borrows the power of the Xiongnu, the people have been miserable and humble for a long time, and relies on the strong city to vent his spirit.
Five times it is enough to stop, and then victory is achieved. Now that the country's power is weakening, even if Han Bai is the commander-in-chief and boldly attacks the grassland, the whole army will inevitably be annihilated."
"I have learned a lesson." The man bowed his hand to Cao Cao, but cursed in his heart: "You are stupid! You are the only smart one! Do you need to say this?"
Yuan Shao didn't say anything, he still looked calm and calm.
While Gai Jun was playing with the ear cup, he looked at Cao Cao who was looking like a stupid young man. He had a playful expression on his face and thought, just pretend. Only those who regard him as a stupid young man are the real stupid young people.
As the drinking war got more and more intense, Yuan Shao got up and left. For a busy man like him, staying with him for a long time had given Cao Cao enough face.
Everyone was a little drunk, but Gai Junshen was clear and clear. He walked out of the elegant pavilion and came to a beautiful courtyard downstairs to see the spring scenery. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and then Cao Cao's loud laughter came: "There is a drink inside.
It was so lively, why did Ziying sneak out?"
Gai Jun looked back and joked: "I still want to ask Brother Cao. Just now I saw Brother Cao was so drunk that he couldn't stand still. It's different now."
Cao Cao said without changing his expression: "I just vomited a lot and I'm mostly awake from the wine."
Gai Jun said lightly "Oh".
Cao Cao smiled and said: "You are joking. I am the protagonist of today's banquet. If I don't pretend to be drunk, I will probably be carried home. I have corresponded with Cai Yilang. Yilang highly praised Ziying's qin art, and I also like it.
It’s a real treat if you get the chance.”
"Brother Cao is a councilor, I'm afraid he doesn't have much free time." Gai Jun said perfunctorily. Bian Wei is at home. If he meets this "real husband" and falls in love at first sight, he won't even cry.
Cry everywhere...
"As long as Ziying doesn't dislike her, I will come to your door one day to bother her."
"If you don't dislike it... Only if you don't dislike it will there be ghosts!"
Gai Jun felt troubled. He was still thinking about it at noon the next day. Suddenly, a servant came to report Cao Cao's visit. He thought to himself: "This guy said it was another day. Is this called another day? It's better to be straightforward.
"Explain tomorrow. If you come to the door now, do you want to stay for dinner?" He told the cook Abai Ling to add a few more dishes, and then went to the door with the door servant to greet Cao Cao.
When the door of the mansion opened, Gai Jun was the first to greet him, cupping his fists and saying, "Brother Cao, we are here to welcome you, but we have to wait to welcome you from afar."
"Haha. It's lunch time, but it's rude for me to come to the door right now. Don't blame me, Ziying." Today, Cao Cao was wearing a large green robe, square shoes, and a Jinxian crown on his head. He had a somewhat elegant temperament.
"Brother Cao came to my humble residence, and I was too late to rejoice. How could I blame him?"
The two exchanged a few words and walked in through the door.
Cao Cao looked at the unique scenery around him and said, "This place is a gift from my eldest brother."
Gai Jun nodded in agreement. He didn't ask the other party why he knew it. Maybe it was because he had been partying and drinking here before or for other reasons. This was the last detail and not worth asking.
Cao Cao said casually: "Eldest brother values you very much..."
Gai Jun said: "It's true as Brother Cao said, I often sigh that I can't repay you."
Cao Cao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Ziying is a great talent. His future is limitless. There will be a day."
Gai Jun also smiled.
Cao Cao sighed again: "By the way, I envy Ziying very much. He was famous at a young age and was granted the title of Marquis. When I was young, I was in such a difficult situation that I can't talk about it!"
"It's small, but it's not necessarily better if it's big."
Gai Jun mentioned the elegant deeds of Kong Rong and Kong Wenju when they were young. Cao Cao had heard of the book and said, "Kong Wenju is now a disciple of Situ Yang Gong. He corrects and prosecutes corrupt officials without saying anything. He has the style of ancient sages.
What Dr. Chen said back then became a joke. Ziying used it as a metaphor for himself, which was too modest."
"Brother Cao's lesson is right. If you are humble, you will be arrogant."
Cao Cao thought thoughtfully and said: "To be modest is to be arrogant? It is simple but profound, and it can be said to be a wise saying! I once heard that when Ziying was young, he wanted to go to the funeral of General Huangfu Jun of Liao Dynasty, but his father Gai Hanyang refused, so he said anxiously:
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." Yes or no?"
Gai Jun said with shame: "I have been talking nonsense since I was young, and I don't want it to spread all over the world."
Cao Cao sighed: "Zi Ying is a great talent, but my foolish brother is not as good as him."
During the conversation, the two of them walked into the study. Cao Cao looked at the silk papers scattered on the desk, glanced at them, and turned away. Gai Jun's face was arrogant, and he knew that his words would definitely not be able to catch the eye of Cao Cao, but he felt helpless in his heart.
He was very angry, knowing that the person standing in front of him was a great writer who pioneered a generation of literary style, and his achievements in literature were no less than in martial arts.
When Cao Cao walked to the table where "Yue Ji" was displayed, his hands itched unbearably. He couldn't help but sit down and play the strings. The low notes of the open strings flew out one by one, like the sound of a striking chime bell, full of solemnity, solemnity and grandeur.
…
"Wen Wang Cao." A strange color flashed in Gai Jun's eyes. Wen Wang Cao is said to have been composed by King Wen of Zhou. Its authenticity is unknown, but it is one of the oldest qin music ever written, and Confucius was obsessed with it. None of this is important.
, the important thing is that Gai Jun thought of Cao Cao's long sigh in history: "If destiny were on me, I would be King Wen of Zhou!" He would not have such thoughts now, I am afraid he has not even thought about it, more or less
When you consider becoming a famous minister, your life experiences are so bizarre.
In the middle of the song, the sound quality suddenly changed, becoming comfortable, soft, and quietly flowing with a hint of warmth, just like the benevolence of Confucianism. The final sound of the piano was melancholy and solemn, profound and tortuous, as if the ancient holy king stood on the top of the mountain, with far-reaching eyes and deep thoughts.
