Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 73 The Peacock Opens the Screen

Chapter 73 The Peacock Opens the Screen

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty acted according to his plan, and he really rewarded Cao Cao with the peacock sent by Shixie of Jiaozhou.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, thanked Han Xiandi, and deliberately showed off on the street when he returned.

Peacocks mainly live in the south, and this species is extremely rare in the north. When Cao Cao showed off the peacock, countless pairs of eyes on the street were full of envy and jealousy.

It also includes some aristocratic families.

Just to show off to the people of Xudu, Cao Cao didn't find it enjoyable. When he returned to the prime minister's mansion, he sent someone to invite prominent figures from Xudu to appreciate the beauty of peacocks together.

Needless to say, Xun Yu and Xun You must be on the list.

Celebrities like Chen Qun and Kong Rong will not let them go.

Even after this kind of relatives were buried, Cao Cao gave an invitation letter.

Not for anything else, just to show off the peacock, and at the same time inform everyone of his status in Xudu.

Peacocks are rare items in this era. When the emperor can reward Cao Cao with this rare treasure, it is enough to show that the emperor attaches great importance to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is about to conquer Sun Quan, and before leaving, he still needs to stabilize the hearts of Xu Du. This is a very good opportunity.

The Appreciation Conference started in the late afternoon, and the upper echelons of Xudu gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

How can such a good thing be missing Cao Cao's sons, among whom Cao Chong and Cao Pi are the most dazzling representatives.

Since the black poison incident, Cao Cao has been very strict with Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang is almost in the barracks for basic necessities of life. Without Cao Cao's order, Cao Zhang never wants to leave the barracks.

In this appreciation meeting, Cao Cao did not call Cao Zhang to come, which is enough to show that Cao Zhang has no place in Cao Cao's heart.

As for the great talent Cao Zhi, not to mention, he is still fighting against Sun Quan in Hefei.

"Everyone, the peacock was born in the south. You must have never seen it. Today, I will let you see its beauty." The voice fell, expressing appreciation for the official start of the conference.

The tiger guard took off the long cloth, opened the cage, and released the peacock.

I saw a flower peacock, dragging its long feathered tail, coming out of the cage.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

After all, this rare species is too rare to see in the north.

"The fact that the emperor gave the peacock to the prime minister is enough to show that the emperor attaches great importance to the prime minister. It is a blessing that the great man and the court have a prime minister!" Xun You took the opportunity to flatter.

Cao Pi did not miss the opportunity to express himself, "Yes, yes, my father is an important minister of the Han Dynasty, and he has an important position in the hearts of the emperor and the hearts of the people."

"Haha..." Cao Cao wanted this effect, so he was naturally in a good mood.

Standing in the corner, Fu Wan felt uncomfortable.

He looked around and found Zhao Wen in the crowd. The two looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

Then Fu Wan walked out of the crowd and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, it is said that a peacock is the most beautiful when it is open. Since it is an appreciation meeting, why not let the peacock open and let me see it later."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Wen followed up and said: "Yes, it is rumored that peacocks can still dance after opening their tails. I am really curious about how peacocks dance."

Not to mention Fu Wan and Zhao Wen, even Cao Cao himself wanted to see the peacock spread its tail and dance.

Who made the species of peacock a rare treasure in the north?

"What you said makes sense, but how can we make the peacock spread its tail and dance?" Cao Cao directly threw this question to Fu Wan and Zhao Wen.

Since ancient times, there has been a rule that whoever makes an idea does the work.

It's just that Fu Wan and Zhao Wen are also old foxes, and it's not so easy to jump into the pit.

"I have a lot of talents in the big man, especially the prime minister's subordinates, all of them are talents, why not let them come up with ideas." Fu Wan began to blame.

Zhao Wen was even more venomous, "The prime minister's heirs are all talented people, why don't you let the eldest son and the younger son compete to see who can make the peacock open."

I'll go, return you Zhao Wen, who actually dug a hole for the young master!

Cao Chong, who had been silent all this time, discovered the purpose of Fu Wan and Zhao Wen.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and Cao Chong, and his mind fell into contemplation. He could just use this opportunity to test the talents of the two, and at the same time let the children look good in front of everyone.

Especially Chong'er, he must perform more.

Cao Chong is a bastard, and if he wants to be accepted by the aristocratic family, he must have enough performance.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the family was very important, not only did the concubine have no status, but he also had no right to inherit the family business. Even if he was inherited by other aristocratic families, he would be prejudiced.

"In this case, Chong'er and Pi'er, let's have a competition, and make a long face in front of all the adults." Cao Cao said with a smile.

I'll go, Lao Cao, you actually agreed.

Cao Chong didn't understand very much. He knew it was a pit, but Lao Cao still jumped into it.

Well, the father's order is hard to break, the young master only has a few brain cells, let you see how powerful the young master is.

"I said the system, I'm about to act aggressive, why don't you plan to give me a task?"

Cao Chong actually took the initiative to ask the system for a task.

"Sorry, this system is a super life-sustaining system, not a super pretentious system, and cannot give the host the corresponding task."

Your sister, you are a super stingy system!
Cao Chong scolded the system.

"but……"

The system's words suddenly sounded.

"But what?" Cao Chong was full of expectation.

"Forget it, the host doesn't seem to like this system very much, so I won't give the task."

The ruthless voice of the system sounded.

Cao Chong: "..."

It's too much, you will be beaten like this.

"You are not stingy at all, you are very generous, the most generous system I have ever seen."

Damn, I don't believe that myself.

"For the sake of the host's sincerity and sincerity, this system gives you a task."

Ah, let me go, the stupid system actually believed the young master's nonsense.

"Ding, please pay attention to the host, a new task has been issued, find a way to get Cao Pi to leave Xudu, and there will be rewards after success."

Haha, I like this task.

Cao Chong originally intended to let Cao Pi leave Xudu.

Cao Pi is too treacherous to allow him to stay with the prince's four friends for a long time, and even the five of them will be separated.

"I took this task."

……

Cao Pi on the other side kept looking at Chen Qun, wanting Chen Qun to give him advice.

Cao Pi didn't know the life and rest of the peacock, let alone how to make the peacock open, so he could only pin all his hopes on Chen Qun.

As a celebrity, Chen Qun must have rich knowledge. After thinking about it, he took the opportunity to go to the hut and put a piece of cloth in the hut.

When Chen Qun came back, Cao Pi immediately asked Cao Cao for instructions to go to the latrine.

When Cao Pi went to the hut, he got a cloth strip left by Chen Qun, which said: When a peacock is frightened or in danger, it will open its tail.

"There is a way, Cao Chong, you are bound to lose this time!"

With a dark smile on the corner of Cao Pi's mouth, he tore up the strips of cloth and returned to the Political Affairs Hall confidently.

"Father, if the child has a solution, let the child come first." Cao Pi recommended himself.
