[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

Yang Xiu actually doesn't like Cao Ying.

Two years ago, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, and his father, Yang Biao, looked unhappy. Cao Cao was so angry that he imprisoned Xiu's mother as Yuan Shu's sister, but Kong Rong pleaded to save his life.However, Cao Cao's foundation in the court was still unstable, and in order to implement the New Deal, he deliberately filled up the gap.He heard that Yang Xiu was young and sensitive, knowledgeable and was promoted to Xiaolian, so he sincerely invited him in the name of Cao Zhi's teacher, and Yang Xiu agreed.

He didn't regret his decision after all, because Cao Zhi was a very good student.

Whether it's the fact that he pestered Cao Pi to practice calligraphy these days, or the delicate annotations in the brocade slips, it clearly illustrates this matter.In fact, he is not only eager to learn, but also intelligent by nature. He can understand any knowledge and draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

But now, the kid told him—sorry, teacher.Because of a fall, I forgot what you taught me before, so you can figure it out.

How rascal and ridiculous!

Yang Xiu was also really angry and laughed.

Although Cao Zhi is only seven years old—many children don't even know a single big character when they are seven—how could Yang Xiu endure this gap.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at the child calmly and indifferently for a long time, until his tone was full of jokes again: "When did you find out?"

"……wake up."

"Did the Second Young Master and Mrs. Bian know about it?"

The corner of the child's mouth twitched, and he looked at Yang Xiu with deliberate panic in his eyes: "...I don't know."

The teacher in front of me is definitely not an ordinary teacher.He does not care for the students as he should, and he does not seem to have the ethics of an educational profession.But it's just that this point does not play according to common sense. As long as he is afraid that his mother and elder brother will know, he will never take the initiative to tell them about it.

—he would just watch from the sidelines.Seeing the ignorance of the world, he sneered soberly.

To deal with this unscrupulous person, just make him lose interest.

The child's pink face was full of sadness, helplessness, and panic.He looked at the indifferent young man, tears were about to come down.

But the more he behaved, Yang Xiu made a new discovery.

He found that the child clearly recognized him, but he lost the respect he used to have.When this happened, he was so calm before that even his elder brother and mother couldn't find out.If I hadn't heard that he was learning calligraphy from the second son of Cao Pi and suddenly wanted to come and see him, how long would I have been kept from him?

But once he was discovered by himself, he was so panicked.

It's really like what a child did, but it's only the truth.

So this is... pretending?

Yang Xiu found this conclusion amused, and the eyes he stared at the child became more profound and gentle.

——How would you describe this look?

The corner of the child's mouth twitched, goosebumps all over his body were about to dance with it.

Yang Xiu stared intently at the child's expression, and smiled.

"Oh, although it's a little troublesome, it's not a big problem." He said so, stroking his wide sleeves. "Since you have forgotten everything, don't be lazy today. Come and learn calligraphy from my master."

"Uh?"

The child's expression was stiff, and tears froze in his eyes.He looked at the undeniable young man, and in his heart dragged Yang Xiaoren out and shot him for 10 minutes. (This is what he thought subconsciously, so at the moment he doesn't know that there was no such thing as shooting and 10 minutes)

"..." Who Hun Dan said before that his complexion was not good? !

On the third day when the doctor said that Cao Zhi was fine and could get out of bed, Cao Pi came to teach him calligraphy as agreed after school.After approaching the post hand in hand, Cao Zhi suddenly asked, "Second brother, what does our name mean?"

He doesn't remember anything, but he has some impressions of some things.Especially Meng De, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi.

If he was this child in the first place, why did he only have an impression of these three names, but not his mother Bian?

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows.He looked down at the child in his arms that only reached his chest, and he could still see the fluff on the bridge of his nose, which made him suddenly want to touch it: "Why do you ask like that?"

The child frowned, with a confused expression: "I just thought of it suddenly."

Cao Pi looked at his slightly wrinkled nose, and said with a faint smile, "Zhi, we expanded and built the soil together. And Pi, it's big. My father named us this, it's Dazhi."

"What about the father's name?"

Cao Pi was suspicious, but said nothing.He thought for a moment, and then said: "Men in their twenties and crowns have characters, and their father's name is Cao Mengde. It is said in "Xunzi Encouraging Learning" that those who learn are the ones who learn the same...Life is as it is, and death is as it is. Yes, what a husband does is called morality.'”

In short, the father's name interprets good morals.

Cao Zhi remained silent.

It turns out that Meng De is the character, but the name is Cao...Cao?

Hold?

Leaving aside the strange feeling in my heart caused by this word, the name Cao Cao is more familiar than Meng De.The moment he heard the name, his subconscious mind somehow defined it as a hero.

Xiongxiong... Father?

The child lowered his eyelids slightly, thinking about sorting out the new information.He didn't know that the way Cao Pi looked at him behind him became more and more complicated.

Cao Pi always felt that since the child woke up, something was different.In the past, children did not have a deep friendship with themselves.Even if it is practicing calligraphy, I am used to pestering Yang Xiu.After this time, for some reason, he began to rely on himself.

Yes, depend.

This is a seemingly unimaginable word, he thought that his younger brother was just on a whim that day, and he just listened to a few words from himself.Unexpectedly, today I hold him in my arms and teach him hand in hand like countless people learning calligraphy for the first time.

Cao Pi, who is only 12 years old, can hardly say whether this is good or bad.According to the order of seniority, the eldest brother Zixiu died in battle. If there is no accident, he should be the one who will be established as the eldest son in the future. However, there are too many things in history where the younger generation is the elder, and no one can be sure that he will eventually sit on the big throne. who is the person.

Take the current heroes of the Yuan family as an example. The elder brother Yuan Shao occupies Yizhou, Heqing, and Erzhou, and supports Liu Yu as emperor.However, his younger brother Yuan Shu established himself as emperor according to Yangzhou Shouchun, and allied with his enemy Gongsun Zan to resist Yuan Shao.

Now that the lords cut the deer, who expects any brotherhood?

Therefore, since he was sensible, he never deliberately approached his brothers.If it weren't for now, I'm afraid they would remain just right brothers and sisters until he became the eldest son or there was no threat from others.

It's just that now holding him in my arms and holding his slender and soft hands, the feeling...isn't bad at all.

Cao Zhi's expectation was right, Yang Xiu really didn't tell what he didn't remember.It's just that it's a little different from what he guessed, but Yang Xiu is actually very caring about teaching him.

His injuries are not yet fully recovered, so Yang Xiu goes to his room to teach for an hour every day.Even after Bian's persuasion several times, Yang Xiu retorted that "learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat", and only shortened the time a little.

When the doctor finally uttered the word "no hindrance", the sea of ​​words that rushed to his face almost drowned him.

Where on earth did he arouse this guy's interest - can't he change it?

The child thought so in his heart, and studied writing seriously with a blank face.Different from Cao Pi, Yang Xiu also explained the meaning of words when teaching him to practice calligraphy. What he explained today is Volume [-] of "Hanshiwaizhuan", which has a slightly deeper relationship between them.

"There is a cicada in the garden of the minister, and there is a cicada on it. It means that there is an elm tree in my yard, and there is a cicada on the tree; Neck, if you want to grab it and eat it..."

Yang Xiu hadn't finished explaining, when he heard the child move his lips, and said inaudibly: "...The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind?"

Yang Xiu paused: "Do you remember?"

Cao Zhi nodded, then shook his head again.He was stunned for a while, then raised his face, calmly and calmly said: "No."

"What's wrong?"

"This word." Cao Zhi pointed to a few words, "Here, garden, cicada, and Fen... are all wrong, it shouldn't be written like this."

Yang Xiu raised his brows high: "Oh?"

Cao Zhi took the pen and wrote down the correct words in his impression on the paper.

Yang Xiu stared at it for a while.After Emperor Qin unified the six kingdoms, the script was unified, and after hundreds of years of circulation, it was gradually compiled from small to small to official, and then gradually evolved into regular script.The words written by children, apart from being more neat and concise, have no aesthetic feeling at all.

Yang Xiu lowered his brows.He finally said: "Your brain is really broken."

"..." So he asked the question so seriously, did Yang Xiaoren come to such a conclusion?

The child turned his head blankly, dragged Yang Xiaoren out and shot him for another 10 minutes.

Seeing his expression, a smile slowly overflowed Yang Xiuqing's proud eyes: "Although I don't agree with it, your idea is pretty good."

The child was still unhappy.

Yang Xiu's smile gradually subsided: "Do you know why I disagree?"

Cao Zhi put his gaze back on him.

"For 34 years, the first emperor banned the common people from using the past to slander the government, burning books and burying Confucian scholars with private knowledge. What will happen to those who oppose it in the whole country?"

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Dong Zhongshu's words and only respected Confucianism and dismissed hundreds of schools. Didn't anyone object?"

"From what I've seen today, Zhi looks like a father, not someone who sticks to the old rules." Yang Xiu put his hands on the desk, and slowly leaned back until his back touched the barrier.His tone was a little light, a little distant. "Your father established his capital in Xuchang, and when the new law was promulgated, countless officials from all over the court opposed it. However, despite many obstacles, the new law was finally implemented in the past three years."

He said, looking so satisfied with the child that he almost held his breath.

"You know why."

"...power."

Yang Xiu glanced at him with admiration, and wrote lightly: "Yes, it is power. Mr. Cao holds the power of life and death, so they dare to remonstrate and dare not rebel. And you are only the son of Mr. Cao, and you have no power or power. You I can’t even get the approval of me alone. But have you ever thought that if you are the one who will rule the world one day, who would dare not agree with these words?”

Cao Zhi listened to his words in a daze, blinked, and blinked again.
