[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

The unpleasant thought lasted only for a moment.Zheng Ping has never made things difficult for himself, and would get into a corner because of things that didn't happen. Now that he has become Mi Heng, he should bear everything on behalf of the original owner and not let his relatives be bullied by others.

"The matter of marriage should be decided by Xuan'er herself, even I have no right to interfere, but if someone bullies her and humiliates her..."

Although he didn't say everything, but Zheng Ping's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and Cao Pi immediately understood the unfinished meaning.

"If someone dares to do this, Mr. Wu Ji will act, and Pi will definitely seek justice for the Queen."

Zheng Ping didn't comment on Cao Pi's statement. He left Sikong Mansion and went straight home to find Guo Xuan, asking her if she had any opinion on his life.

After some conversations, Zheng Ping found out that although Guo Xuan had a crush on Cao Pi, he had no intention of marrying him.She is not afraid of rumors, and will not take advantage of the opportunity to join forces because Cao Pi is willing to marry her because Hua Xin is unmarried.Zheng Ping didn't know the reason why Guo Xuan entered the East Palace as a concubine in the historical records, but now Guo Xuan didn't need to succumb to reality for anyone, her life belonged only to herself and not to anyone else.

Ever since Guo Xuan knew that Zheng Ping was hiding everything, he asked him to teach him martial arts.

Zheng Ping pretended that his martial art was taught by a knight-errant during his study tour. It only had shape and dexterity, but no inner strength. It is a very difficult thing to raise a delicate woman indoors.

Guo Xuan didn't promise anything for herself, but according to the method Zheng Ping said, she persisted day after day, not afraid of the scorching heat, and never slack off for a day, and completed the unbearable amount of training for many middle-aged men. Zheng Ping, who lacked ups and downs, couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

He felt Guo Xuan's firmness and perseverance, so he stopped talking, and taught his own skills in a way suitable for this era.After many years, although Guo Xuan has not entered the top list, she is enough to protect herself.

Guo Xuan understood Zheng Ping's temperament, and knew that Cao Pi must have shown his heart when he asked such a question.She didn't feel embarrassed, and talked about how she got acquainted with Cao Pi.

In addition to Zheng Ping's "one-shot grace", there are also Cao Pi's relationship with the behind-the-scenes man pretending to be sick in order to lead to the startling horse incident, and the re-encounter in Lin Zhong.

At that time, Cao Cao succeeded in making Dong Cheng and other royalists show off by using the fact that Cao Pi frightened the horse and pretended to be sick. During this period, in order to prevent the news from leaking, he temporarily kept Sima Yi, Guo Xuan and others in the mansion. Not much, it was at that time that they quickly became familiar with each other.

Cao Pi didn't know that Guo Xuan was a daughter at first, and almost lost his bearing in front of Guo Xuan.After knowing that Guo Xuan is not a beautiful boy but a beautiful girl, Cao Pi developed a hazy feeling after a brief twist...

Zheng Ping listened carefully to Guo Xuan's narration, seeing her occasionally mention interesting things, and smiled understandingly, Zheng Ping finally let go of his considerations, decided to let go, and develop freely with Cao Pi and Guo Xuan.

To settle the matter of his younger sister initially, Zheng Ping went to the government office to finish his day's work, and was about to find his old friend Kong Rong when he suddenly heard the news that Kong Rong was impeached.

The crimes of impeachment are desecration of public office, abuse of power for personal gain, and acceptance of bribes...all the crimes that can be committed have been committed, and the "material evidence" is extremely well prepared, so it is true.

Due to the seriousness of the plot and the fact that Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Kong Rong and wanted to kill him, he ordered people to follow the old rules of the Han Law, remove Kong Rong from his post first, and lock him in the mansion pending trial.

After hearing the news, Zheng Ping's face darkened slightly.

Kong Rong just wrote a letter to mock Cao Cao, but he was impeached and convicted. If there is nothing tricky in it, Cao Cao himself would not believe it.

At the same time, Zheng Ping knew that this incident was not done by Cao Cao—although it was caused by Cao Cao, if Cao Cao wanted to punish Kong Rong, there was no need to go through so much trouble.According to Zheng Ping's guess, the incident was probably caused by the courtiers who wanted to please Cao Cao on purpose.

Zheng Ping was the first to think of Xi Ji, the father of Mr. Xi Xiaolang who fell into the water after hitting him.

Xi Ji and his son failed to frame him back then, and instead lost face.After Zheng Ping returned to Xudu, because he rescued Cao Pi as soon as he came back, he was brought into Cao Cao's command and reused. No matter how much Xi Xi held a grudge, he couldn't embarrass Zheng Ping in the open.

Because Xiji himself defines himself as "Cao Cao's knife", doing things that cannot be done for Cao Cao, eliminating those who cannot be eliminated, and clearing away all obstacles.Therefore, before Cao Cao regained his real intention to kill Zheng Ping, Xi Xi would never go against Cao Cao's wishes and attack Zheng Ping.

And Kong Rong, who angered Cao Cao this time, naturally became the target of his sharpening.

It was noon when Zheng Ping arrived at Kong Rong's mansion.He was ushered into the backyard by the concierge of the Kong family and saw Kong Rong.Kong Rong was setting up the chess records on the stone table in the courtyard. When he heard the noise, he saw that Zheng Ping was coming, and his eyes lit up for a moment.

The happy event quickly turned into nothingness, Kong Rong raised his head slightly, turned his nostrils towards him, then snorted coldly, and turned his back.

This look of being unwilling to talk to people because of anger is very rare. Zheng Ping didn't have the intention of coaxing his old friend, so he familiarly asked the servants of the Kong family to serve him a cup of peach juice soup, and sat comfortably on the mat laid out in the courtyard.

Kong Rong waited for a long time, but he couldn't help being furious when he didn't wait for Zheng Ping's persuasion.

He opened his mouth and said sarcastically:

"Zhong You doesn't know how to bear Mi Lao, and Zeng Shen doesn't know how to bite a finger."

Zheng Ping was happy when he heard the words.

Zhong You and Zeng Shen are both proud disciples of Confucius, they are extremely pure and filial. The most famous allusions of the two are "a hundred miles of negative rice to support their parents" and "the pain of biting a finger and connecting with the mother".Now Kong Rong added a negative word in front of each of these two allusions... It seems that he was really angry. He satirized his "unfilial piety" by rewriting these two allusions, and angrily scolded him for his indifference to himself.

Zheng Ping would not be angry because of Kong Rong's angry words.He just drank peach juice in the yard slowly, turning a blind eye to Kong Rong's anger.

It was not until Kong Rong broke out that Zheng Ping put down the jade cup and said to Kong Rong:

"The letter you wrote to Cao Cao a few days ago also used this distorted allusion to anger him?"

Zheng Ping's question was a bit knowing, but it was a deliberate move to open up the topic.

Kong Rong sneered and said, "It is said that I go and come in the evening, eat and drink but forget people [1]. You go to assist your Cao Sikong, and what do you do with me, a bad old man?"

Even after reading Sima Xiangru's "Ode to the Nagato", Zheng Ping was afraid that if he didn't comfort his old friend, he would really go crazy.

Zheng Ping said slowly: "In the past, Wen Ju often advised me to 'look away' and not to be against Cao Cao. Why now I 'look away' and it's you who 'beat the drums and scold Cao'?"

Kong Rong was a little dazed when he heard the words. When he thought of all the past, he felt as if he had passed away.

Who would have expected that many years later, Mi Heng, who had scolded Cao Cao in person and was almost immortal with Cao Cao, has now been reused by Cao Cao; Kong Rong, who took the line, became the party who hated Cao Cao.

Kong Rong was stunned by the impermanence of the world, and hated himself for being deceived by Cao Cao and treating ambitious people as loyal ministers.

"I didn't expect him to move to an important place for military aircraft in a grandiose manner, and he treated the emperor as nothing without shyness."

Kong Rong is the successor of Confucianism, what he pays attention to is a "monarch, minister and minister".He knew that Cao Cao had ambitions, but he did not expect that Cao Cao's ambitions would be so great. Before he could really unify the world, he would dare to arrogate to the emperor's power, and he would not take them, the Han officials, in the slightest.

Zheng Ping is not Kong Rong. Although he can understand Kong Rong's worries for the monarch, he still lacks a little respect for the imperial power.

He only said: "The sky always has its own way."

Heaven's movements are permanent, it does not exist for Yao, and it does not perish for Jie[2].

Everything has its own reason for its operation, and it will not change because of the virtue of the monarch.

Maybe Liu Xie is a good monarch, but the collapse of the Han Dynasty has become an inevitable trend, and relying on personal strength, it is impossible to save the collapse of the Han Dynasty for decades.

Except for pedantic Confucians, most people understand this truth.

Therefore, scholars of various schools of thought put forward the "Five Virtues End and Begin Theory". They used the "Mandate of Heaven" to justify their actions of seizing power, but they also taught the people about the Confucian theory of "monarch, minister and minister", demanding that the people abide by their duties, No challenge to imperial power is allowed.

Zheng Ping was afraid that Kong Rong would use the tool of governing the people for self-government because he had studied Confucian classics for a long time, so he tactfully reminded him.

It's not that Kong Rong can't turn the corner, but he really can't understand Cao Cao's approach. He thinks that he "shows the tail of a fox in a hurry before things are done, and his appearance is too ugly."

Originally, Kong Rong wrote to satirize Cao Cao just to vent his depression, and he didn't expect Cao Cao to change his mind because of his ridicule.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao allowed Chi Chi and other "dog hoofs" to harm him out of nothing, and the little anger that had dissipated because of writing ridicule to vent it condensed again, and it became more and more intense.

Zheng Pingping and Kong Rong calmed down a bit, and asked the maid who stood by to serve Kong Rong a bowl of peach syrup to calm his shock, and said to him:

"There are bound to be flaws in the forgery, so there is no need to worry too much. As for that Xiji—the dying person, why bother?"

Zheng Ping's words were not cursing people, nor was he planning to deal with people with a sword, but the result of analysis based on Cao Cao's temper.

Xi Xi thought he was doing evil things for Cao Cao, and was willing to be the sharpest knife in order to gain Cao Cao's trust... In fact, he went the wrong way from the beginning.

"A knife man, discard it if it rusts, and discard it if you break it. What good end can Xixi get if he uses his body as a knife?"

Zheng Ping's tone was calm and unmistakable, but indifferent but determined,

"What's more, the knife in your hand doesn't need self-awareness. Chi Chi thinks he's smart and has broken a big taboo. Cao Cao can use him now, so he can tolerate it. One day, when the power is in his hands and he doesn't need his knife, it will be Chi Chi's death." when."

Cao Cao has initially won the right to speak in the entire north, and that day is not far away.

Of course, since Xixi dared to stab his friend with this knife, he didn't mind breaking the knife early.
