[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

On the seventh day after Cao Chong passed away, Cao Cao found a woman surnamed Zhen for him and married her in the dark.This move surprised everyone Cao Cao's love for this son.

Unfortunately, Cao Chong is dead.

Cao Cao, who has always been tough, is not in good health these days, and Cao Zhi is also very busy taking care of him and Cao Pi with Hua Tuo every day.

As for Cao Zhang, he was ordered by Cao Cao to study and think about his mistakes.When he can write a decent article, he can go out.

Cao Zhang almost had the urge to want to die!

He watched Cao Zhi pass by his yard every day, grabbed the corner of his clothes and begged Cao Zhi to help him write an article.The words don't need to be beautiful, and the meaning doesn't need to be profound, it just needs to be well-organized and understandable for people to understand, so that he can handle it.

Cao Zhi gave him an extremely cute smile, and when Cao Zhang thought that Cao Zhi was helping him write, he quickly turned and fled.

Leaving Cao Zhang alone behind him yelled that he had no loyalty.

Cao Pi drank the soup that Cao Zhi personally handed over, leaning on the cushion Cao Zhi placed for him behind him, his complexion improved a lot.He smiled and said, "Brother, I just found out today that the fourth brother is also very good at taking care of others."

Cao Zhi showed a slight smile: "Mr. Guo is not in good health, and as his apprentice, my younger brother has naturally learned some ways to take care of others."

Cao Pi stared at him.Since ten years ago, he has been used to focusing on Cao Zhi.His eyes are often tender and slightly possessive, but at this moment, his eyes are stained with a little subtle treachery.

Cao Zhi acted as if he hadn't seen him, so he just tucked in the blanket for him: "Second brother looks much better, it seems that he will recover soon."

Cao Pi smiled deeper.

The next moment, Xu Shi thought of Cao Chong, and he closed his eyes and sighed: "Fortunately, the fourth brother went to Jiangling, otherwise, I don't know if this poisonous snake will..."

When he said this, he seemed to realize that he had said something bad, and quickly changed his words: "Look at brother's mouth, saying these bad things again! By the way, talk to second brother, you go all the way to Jiangling , any anecdotes?"

Cao Zhi's heart moved.

The reason why he secretly left Xuchang for Jiangling was first of all because he was worried about Guo Jia, and he also wanted to avoid Cao Pi and Cao Chong.After all, no matter who did it before, those conflicts will end before Cao Cao returns.And he is far away in Jiangling, so naturally it has nothing to do with him.

Now Cao Pi said that he was surprised by what he did in Jiangling and was probing, or was he simply curious?

Cao Zhi really didn't know.

He smiled in the next moment, and talked about what he saw and heard along the way.Including the bloody desolation in his eyes during the war, and even the fear and panic in his heart at that time... He said everything in detail, without any flaws.

Cao Pi had already fallen asleep, and Cao Zhi was a little annoyed because Cao Pi talked about Jiangling.

He couldn't think of Cao Pi's expression when he heard about his performance in the past, or Cao Pi had already heard about it, but he didn't show it on his face.In fact, he often has these worries these days.

He quickly thought of Guo Jia, but once he thought of Guo Jia, he became even more depressed.

Cao Zhi hasn't seen Guo Jia for several days, the reason is not because he is too busy, but because Cao Cao wants to bring Guo Jia's son Guo Yi to live with him.At that time, when Cao Zhi heard such news, he was in a bad mood!

——Guo Jia's awareness of him has been declining before, but now that his wife and children are coming, how entangled is he?

Cao Zhi was depressed for several days, hesitant to speak to Cao Cao in the hospital bed several times.

Until today, he finally prepared himself mentally and decided to come to ask Guo Jia.

If Guo Jia and his wife have a deep relationship and raise their eyebrows together, then he will bless him with a smile; but if the relationship between them is weak... Cao Zhi has a complicated face.

At this time, Guo Jia was reading the letter in the courtyard.Although it is still a bit cold these few days, spring has begun to shine brightly.Cao Zhi looked at the paper in his hand, with a familiar look: "These are?"

Guo Jia saw Cao Zhi, beckoned him to sit down and said calmly: "This is a letter written by the Fourth Young Master to my subordinate."

When Guo Jia was away on an expedition, he had a lot of correspondence with Cao Zhi.He put away all these letters, and opened them when he remembered them, which was quite interesting.

Cao Zhi blinked, unable to restrain his emotion: "Sir, you still keep such boring letters?"

Guo Jia received the letter: "There are very few people who write to me, so I put it away."

Cao Zhi became more and more excited: "Did I write everything here?"

Guo Jia stared at him silently, not understanding what class he was excited about, and finally said slowly: "No, only these belong to the fourth son." He pointed to the thin layer and showed it to Cao Zhi.Pointing to others, "These are written by Wen Ruo, these are friends that the Fourth Young Master doesn't know, these are my elder brother, these... are written by Yi'er."

"..." Cao Zhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.It turned out that he was just one of them, not the only one.

Cao Zhi felt melancholy, and Guo Jia also seemed to think of something melancholy.He picked up a letter from Guo Yi and opened it to read. The handwriting on the bamboo slips was immature and crooked, like a dog crawling.

After a long time, he sighed slightly.

Cao Zhi tentatively said: "Sir, is it because the teacher and the younger brother are coming to read these things today? Well, what are the younger brother and the younger brother like?"

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Zhi.

He felt that Cao Zhi had a strange expression on his face, but he couldn't tell what was strange.He said: "When Yi'er comes here in a few days, you will know what kind of temperament he is. As for his mother..."

What was his wife like?Guo Jia is also asking himself.

However, time has passed for so long that even the memory is a little blurry.He only vaguely remembered that his wife was a good-looking woman with a very gentle personality.Before he came to Caoying ten years ago, his wife often stayed at home quietly all day, working as a female celebrity and managing housework quietly, which was often ignored by people.

Guo Jiadan said: "She has passed away."

She had passed away, but he didn't see her off for the last time, and he didn't know if she would rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

Cao Zhi's heart was suddenly filled with joy.He tried his best to press down the corners of his lips that were about to rise, and his expression was even a little distorted.

"..." Guo Jia stared silently at the young man in front of him, "Fourth Young Master smoked again?"

Cao Zhi laughed and said, "How could that be!"

Guo Jia said slowly: "Then, the Fourth Young Master is so happy when he heard that Chi Nei died?"

Cao Zhi's face was almost devastated. Even if Cao Chong died in the past, he only had this expression: "How can the master look at me like this? The teacher's wife is gone, and the student is more distressed than anyone else!"

"..."

Guo Jia flicked his fingertips, and stared at Cao Zhi's half-smiling look: "Are the lord and the second son okay now?"

Cao Zhi said: "It's much better than the previous days."

Guo Jia asked again: "Did you drink medicine every day?"

Cao Zhi said suspiciously: "Drink it."

Guo Jia said again: "Did the fourth son also drink together?"

There are three black lines on Cao Zhi's forehead: "...the student is not sick, what kind of medicine do you take?"

Guo Jia caressed Guo Yi's letterhead, and said slowly: "But from what I've seen today, the Fourth Young Master also seems to be infected. Why don't you ask the genius doctor Hua to come and have a look?"

"..." Cao Zhi rubbed his nose and changed the subject, "When will Junior Brother arrive?"

"We'll be there in a few days." Guo Jia said, sighing slightly.

Cao Zhi became a little puzzled: "Why is it that the younger brother is coming, but the master doesn't seem happy?"

Guo Jia regained consciousness.Seeing Cao Zhi's concerned expression, he said in his heart, "My lord is away all the year round. Does the fourth son resent the lord because of his lack of love from his father?"

Cao Zhi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

When Guo Jia heard it, he sighed again for a long while.He said: "It's a pity that the fourth son is not the son of my subordinates."

Cao Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth: "...Fortunately not."

"What did the fourth son say?"

"Oh, nothing."

The next day, Cao Cao called Cao Zhi, and said slowly to him, "Fourth brother, I called you here because my father intends to choose an auspicious day in the near future to crown you and the third child."

Cao Zhi was startled.

Throughout the ages, men from [-] to [-] get crowned, and when they grow up, they can even start a family and start a business.Cao Cao has never cared about the crowning of these sons, but today he deliberately said this to him.

what does this mean?

Before Cao Zhi could figure it out, Cao Cao threw him a scroll of brocade: "Fourth brother, you advised me to use these ten years to develop the court, unify the law, stockpile food on the border, reduce taxes, and recuperate... But the details are up to you. Didn't go into details. So after the coronation, my father handed these over to you—you find someone to make this legal measure."

Cao Zhi choked for breath.

Not long after Cao Chongfang died, Cao Pi was not in good health.At such a sensitive time, Cao Cao actually entrusted him to think about and collect reform measures. Could it be that he was pushing him into the fire?

Whether Cao Cao simply admired him, or because of Cao Chong's death, he suspected something and planned to do something.It is not wise for Cao Zhi to participate in this matter.

He bowed quickly and said, "Father, my son is only eighteen, and has never done anything for him. Is it too much for my father to make my son participate in the country's major affairs as soon as he comes up..."

Cao Cao waved his hand to cut off his words.

He stared at Cao Zhi for a long time, and said slowly: "Fourth, as a father, I like smart people, but hate hypocritical people. Why? Because smart people are good at gaining benefits with wisdom, but hypocritical people can only deceive others. Get the moon in the mirror, the flower in the water. Only when you treat others with your true feelings, can others reciprocate your true feelings and be used by you.”

Cao Zhi was shocked.

His whole body froze in place, and even a gust of cold air suddenly rushed up his spine, making his complexion a little pale.

Cao Cao continued: "A hypocritical person may be able to enjoy a moment of glory and be praised by the world. But time is the best proof. In the end, he will not be able to escape from his relatives and friends, from his morals, and ultimately self-destruction."

When Cao Cao said this, he glanced at his son in front of him.The boy in front of him has never made any achievements since he was a child, and only occasionally writes some interesting articles, which reminds him of having such a son.He didn't face it until Chibi.

Now that Cao Chong is dead, he suddenly figured out the key.

Is Cao Zhi really so useless?

If someone wants him to pretend from a young age and become a blockbuster when the time is right, wouldn't even Cao Chong's limelight be overshadowed by him?

Isn't this the time of maturity?

At such an opportunity, Cao Zhi not only impressed everyone in a defeat, but even escaped a catastrophe!

When Cao Cao thought of this, he almost wanted to arrest Cao Zhi and ask him why he didn't tell Cao Chong about the consequences, but when he calmed down, he knew that Cao Zhi's approach was the most appropriate.

——The death of Cao Chong has never had anything to do with Cao Zhi.And the one who killed Cao Chong was him, and the other was Cao Chong himself!

Instead of pursuing Cao Zhi, he should appreciate and praise him!

Because the position of the son of the world, only those who are capable can go up.Whether this person is Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, or Cao Zhi, or his other sons, no one knows now.

So Cao Cao finally said: "Fourth, you are smart enough to know how to hide yourself since childhood. Now that Chong'er is dead, your second brother is sick, and you are tired of being a father. It would be too hypocritical for you to hide any longer. So this trivial matter, I will leave it to you. Let Gu see your ability, and let the world think that you are mediocre, take a good look!"

Cao Zhi was stunned for a long time.

He bowed almost in a trance, saluted in a trance, and finally responded in a trance: "Son...take orders!"

Xu Shi felt a little annoyed, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his other husband for a long time, so Cao Zhi took two pots of wine and went to Wang Qi's house.

Wang Qi was teaching Wang Min swordsmanship, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Cao Zhi: "Hey, rare guest! What good wine did you bring me today?"

Cao Zhi touched his nose and threw two jugs of wine to him.

Before that, Wang Min accompanied Cao Zhi to look for Guo Jia, and when he found Guo Jia, he came back to practice martial arts.He had gone to the house and brought out three bowls. The three of them sat together and drank together.

Cao Zhi told them some interesting things about Jiangling, and seeing Wang Min yearn for it, he patted him on the shoulder: "Do you want to join the military camp too?"

Wang Min's eyes brightened and he said, "Is it possible?"

Cao Zhi said: "Sir agree?"

Wang Qi said: "He can go if he wants. Only a man who has experienced war is a real man!"

Cao Zhi's eyes flickered: "So, the students will ask General Zhang Liao to make arrangements for Amin in a few days."

Wang Min said in surprise, "Thank you, my lord!"

After talking about Wang Min and talking about interesting things, Cao Zhi showed a little trouble on his face.He said: "Sir, when the student was young, he clearly only wanted to live a stable life and be a person with no ambitions. Why now, I find that everything has changed?"

Wang Qi glanced at him, and the whole person suddenly came out of the world independently.He said lightly: "The world is impermanent. Not only the world is changing, but your heart is also changing."

The world is changing all the time, and people are also changing.Because the heart changes, everything changes.But why does the heart change?

Cao Zhi took a deep breath, and slowly said word by word: "Sir, I found that there is still some truth in what you said."

Wang Qi chuckled: "Bah."
