Three Kingdoms: Summon the Black-robed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao at the beginning

Wang Yao found the base of the Black Envoy lurking in Luoyang City through the street code Yao Guangxiao told him.

"Sun Moon Inn, what a good name."

Wang Yao walked into the inn, found the waiter at the counter, and showed the token.

The waiter understood and said respectfully: "Sir, please come in."

Under the guidance of the waiter, Wang Yao came to the underground secret room.

A handsome young man bowed to Wang Yao and said: "My name is Fang Qing, hello, sir. I am the shopkeeper of the Sun Moon Inn and the person in charge of the Black Envoy in Luoyang."

"Fang Qing, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, sir. I don't know what instructions you have for coming to this base. I will do my best."

Fang Qing was arranged by Yao Guangxiao in Luoyang, the center of the Han Dynasty. He must be a talent for being a spy.

"It's not difficult. I want you to help me find someone."

"Sir, please tell me."

"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde."

When Cao Cao was mentioned, Fang Qing remembered: "Yi Lang Cao Cao."

"That's right."

The fact that Cao Cao could be noticed still had to do with his background.

After the eunuch, it also depends on what kind of eunuch.

Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was not an ordinary eunuch, but the leader of the eunuch faction at that time.

When Emperor Shun of Han was the crown prince, Cao Teng was his companion and was deeply trusted by him. Moreover, Emperor Huan of Han was also planned by Cao Teng. With the merit of welcoming him, Cao Teng was transferred to the Grand Chamberlain and was named Marquis of Feiting.

Cao Teng not only had great prestige among the eunuchs, but also because he promoted a large number of celebrities during his tenure, and had a good relationship with the literati. Many celebrities, such as Zhang Huan, one of the "Three Mings of Liangzhou", and later Sikong Zhang Wen, were recommended by Cao Teng.

When Cao Cao was the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang in his early years, he killed the uncle of the eunuch Jian Shuo with a five-color stick. If it weren't for the relationship left by Cao Teng, with Jian Shuo's status, Cao Cao's ten lives would not be enough for him to avenge.

After accepting Wang Yao's task, Yan Qing immediately sent someone to inquire. Cao Cao had an unusual background and had a good relationship with Yuan Shao of the Yuan family, so he was also a person of concern to Yao Guangxiao.

"Sir, I have sent someone to investigate, and there will be news soon."

Cao Cao didn't do anything shameful at the moment, so it was still easy to investigate.

About half an hour later, a servant ran in and said, "Sir, Envoy Fang, we have found Cao Cao's whereabouts. He is drinking and having fun in Chunxiao Tower in the east of the city."

"Okay, I'll go meet him now."

After receiving the news, Wang Yao did not stay for long. He got on the carriage and headed for Chunxiao Tower.

Chunxiao Tower is a famous brothel in Luoyang City, a place for dignitaries to enjoy.

At the door, many women actively solicited customers.

No matter what happened in other states and counties, at least the capital of the Han Dynasty, at the feet of the emperor, was still prosperous and peaceful.

"Oh~ This young man, you look unfamiliar."

Before Wang Yao stepped in, a woman came up to him.came over.

To be able to make a living in a brothel, one's appearance is not too bad.

"I'm here to find someone."

"Sir, you are handsome, which girl are you looking for?"

"Not a girl, but Cao Mengde."

Wang Yao was straightforward and didn't want to waste words.

The woman's eyes changed when she looked at him.

She came to the brothel not to find a girl but a man. Alas, this handsome young man is actually...

"Don't get me wrong, I have an appointment with Cao Mengde, and I don't have any special hobbies."

"Alas~ Sir, you should have said it earlier. Since you are Cao Yilang's friend, please follow me~"

The woman took Wang Yao to a house: "Sir, Cao Yilang is inside."

"Yes." Wang Yao casually took out a few five-zhu coins and gave them to her.

"Thank you, young master."

The woman took the money and left without staying for long.

Wang Yao stood at the door and heard some strange noises inside.

It seemed inappropriate to go in now.

"Wait a minute, young lady."

"Does the young master have anything else to do?"

"Open a room next door, serve some tea and cakes, and let me know when he comes out."

After saying that, Wang Yao took out a gold coin and handed it to her.

The woman took the gold and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll take you there right away."

In the next room, Wang Yao sat alone, thinking about something in his mind.

After waiting for a long time, he finally heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and a man walked in. He was about seven feet five in height, not too strong, dark-skinned and bearded, dressed neatly, and looked groomed. From his appearance, he did not look treacherous. Cao Cao was only a minor official, so he naturally did not have the oppressive feeling of the King of Wei of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao bowed and saluted: "I am Cao Cao, with the courtesy name Mengde. I am honored to meet you, sir. May I know who you are?"

Cao Cao must have heard of Wang Yao's name, but he had never seen him.

Wang Yao returned the greeting: "Wang Yao, courtesy name Yanchen, nice to meet you, Counselor Cao. I have heard of your great name for a long time, but it's been a long time since I last met you today."

"It turns out to be Mr. Wang."

Cao Cao suddenly realized that Wang Yao had improved the papermaking technique and became a disciple of the great scholar Xun Shuang. He could be said to be a rising star of the aristocratic family in recent years. Cao Cao was doing well in the aristocratic circle, so of course he knew this information. Moreover, when Wang Qi led his army to the west, his family had to be taken hostage, so it was no wonder that Wang Yao came.

However, why did he pay attention to me? He even went to the brothel to look for me, which was quite unique.

In an instant, Cao Cao had already thought of many things in his mind.

"Prince Wang, you came to this place of beauty to find me, Cao Cao. Why?"

"It's nothing serious. I just thought about how heroic he was to beat and kill the favored eunuch uncle with a five-colored stick."

"Did you see that? Are you disappointed?"

Cao Cao has been in a bad mood recently. He and Chen Dan reported the eunuchs for forming cliques and engaging in private interests, but it didn't do much.The actual effect was that Chen Dan was hated by the eunuchs and was framed.

The corruption of the government today cannot be corrected by one or two wise ministers who dare to speak out. The court of the Han Dynasty needs a wise ruler who can truly rectify the government and the country to save the collapsing building.

"I'm not disappointed, but I'm a little puzzled."

Wang Yao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the tea and took a sip: "What's the puzzle?"

"I came from Yangzhou. There are many barbarians and bandits in the world, but the emperor and officials of Luoyang are all singing and dancing. I have heard that you, Cao Mengde, are not afraid of the name of the powerful. Now I see that you are also nostalgic for the dream of brothels. How many loyal ministers and generals are there in this world?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Yao, as if he saw himself when he was young.

It’s just that Cao Cao now may still have the last bit of passion in his heart, but he doesn’t have the youthful vigor and vitality.

“The emperor is incompetent, treacherous officials are in power, and it’s hard to be an official. It’s better to be a hermit, or to indulge in the mountains and rivers, or to write books. Since Yanchen (Wang Yao) worships the great scholar Xun Shuang as his teacher, he must be very talented. Instead of entering this bottomless court, it’s better to live a carefree life.”
