Zhao Zhong, a native of Anping, was a eunuch.
Both he and Zhang Rang were favored and trusted by Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
Liu Hong often said publicly, "Zhang Changshi is my father-in-law, and Zhao Changshi is my mother."
Moreover, he often asked Zhao Zhong to preside over court meetings on his behalf.
It can be seen how much Liu Hong trusted Zhao Zhongdu.
What would the civil and military officials think if a eunuch was allowed to preside over the court meeting?
Therefore, now, many civil and military ministers feel that the world will be in chaos.
Especially a genius like Dong Zhuo.
He caught the signal early.
He seized the opportunity early and refused to let go of the military power.
~~
Cao Song knew that as long as Zhao Zhong was persuaded, Zhang Rang would not dare to do anything to Cao Cao.
Sure enough.
With Zhao Zhong coming forward, the imperial court could no longer investigate Cao Cao's case.
Eunuchs must give each other face.
Moreover, someone proved that Zhang Can's death was caused by Yuan Shao.
~~
There began to be a sharp confrontation between Zhang Rang and Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao wanted to be reused for the time being, but it was impossible.
In order to suppress Yuan Shao, Zhang Rang supported Yuan Shu.
Zhang Rang knew that Yuan Shao was at odds with Yuan Shu.
Okay then, let you Yuan brothers fight.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
~~
After Cao Cao paid homage to his father, he returned to his room.
Because there are many gold bricks and dozens of boxes of gold hidden in his room.
Therefore, before leaving home this time, he locked the door.
Before, he never locked the door.
Who dares to go into the bedroom of the eldest son of the Cao family easily?
At this time, Cao Cao returned to the door and took out the key to unlock it.
~~
Ding Hui arrived quietly.
She missed her husband after not seeing him for many days.
Most importantly, she wanted to have a son.
Her one-third acre of land needs her husband, a fierce ox, to work hard to cultivate it.
Ding Huidan saw that Cao Cao was behaving strangely, so she angrily scolded Cao Cao: "Why did you lock the door? What do you mean? What secrets are hidden inside? After you went home to see your father, why didn't you come to see me? Did you hide it outside again? Are there any beautiful women? If you dare to betray me, I will castrate you when you fall asleep one night."
Cao Cao turned sideways and saw this beautiful tigress, and he was a little scared in his heart, mainly because he didn't have the energy to deal with these tedious housework.
So, he quickly explained: "There are no secrets. There are just some martial arts secrets that I don't want others to know."
~~
No matter what he explained, Ding Hui just didn't believe him.
She knew that her husband was a great man.
What woman wouldn't like such a man?
And his stomach is not up to par, and his position in the Cao family is always threatened.
In fact, she was worrying too much.
~~
Cao Cao values love and righteousness very much.
He won't destroy her just because her belly doesn't live up to expectations.
~~
At this time, Ding Hui reached out to push him away and pushed the door open first.
The sight was golden and dazzling.
Wow! A room full of gold bricks and lots of boxes.
She was stunned for a moment.
Although the gold bricks were wrapped in cloth bags, they still shone brightly through the coarse cloth. She opened some more boxes, which were all neatly arranged with gold, all of the same size.
Oh my God! How is this going?
A few days ago, my husband asked his father-in-law for money but failed. He also asked Liu Yan to borrow money but was rejected.
Now, he is suddenly so rich!
Could it have been given to him by some famous lady?
~~
Cao Cao hurriedly stepped in.
He closed the door with his backhand and whispered: "There is no place to put the gold newly brought back by my father, so I will put it here for the time being. If you don't believe it, ask your father."
In this way, he bluffed Ding Hui.
He was afraid that Ding Hui would move the gold bricks away.
He didn't want to go to Madam for money again in the future.
This is the capital he used to form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and it cannot be tampered with.
Otherwise, Ding Hui will definitely move these bricks and gold to her place.
Money, who doesn’t like it?
How dare Ding Hui take Cao Song's money?
~~
In this family, Cao Song is the head of the family!
However, seeing so much money, she seemed to feel sorry for herself if she didn't take some.
After all, my belly has not bulged yet, and my position is unstable.
Cao Ang, the son of concubine Liu Yan, became Cao Cao's eldest son.
It is very likely that Liu Yan will be promoted as his wife.
Then in the future, wouldn't he want to please Liu Yan?
No no no!
Even if you can't have children, you still have to have money!
Otherwise, who in this family will listen to me in the future?
~~
Upon seeing this, Cao Cao knew that Ding Hui would not leave unless he brought out a gold brick.
How smart he is.
So he opened a cloth bag, took out a gold brick, stuffed it into Ding Hui, and whispered: "Then steal one. If my father finds out, he will scold me at most. I won't blame you. He Treat your daughter the same way."
He is so good at talking.
~~
Ding Hui was overjoyed, took the gold brick, and held it tightly in his arms.
This is the first time in her life that she has seen and owned gold bricks.
So excited!
Cao Cao quickly tied the bag tightly.
~~
Ding Hui stood up on tiptoes and gave Cao Cao a nice sip.
With a sweet smile on her face, she said, "Come and sleep in my room tonight! Haha!" Then she turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to open the door, Liu Yan came with little Cao Ang in her arms.
~~
Liu Yan also missed her husband.
Although when Cao Cao borrowed money from her that day, she said she didn't want to see Cao Cao again, but how could she?
She is in her youth, how could she not miss a man?
~~
Liu Yan has stayed in the Cao family for so long, so she has naturally seen Brick.
When she saw Ding Hui holding a gold brick in his arms, her face suddenly changed.
The joy on her face to see her husband disappeared in an instant.
Gold bricks!
~~
She thought to herself: Madam is also a human being, and I, my concubine, am also a human being.
And, I also gave birth to a son.
Cao Mengde, how about you? Just when you got home, you gave your wife gold bricks and left my mother and daughter aside?
I am the first to carry on the family lineage for your Cao family!
What is this thing called?
~~
Cao Cao was an extremely smart and flexible man.
He goes out to check the weather and comes in to check his face.
He hurriedly opened the cloth bag again, took out two gold bricks, gave one to Xiao Cao Ang and one to Liu Yan.
"Haha, thank you Mr. Cao. Zixiu, call me father, be good!" Liu Yan suddenly laughed out loud, and taught little Cao Ang to call him father, and started teasing again.
Cao Cao tightened his pocket and reached out to take Xiao Cao Ang.
Liu Yan conveniently took away the gold brick from Xiao Cao Ang's hand.
~~
Ding Hui looked at them dumbfounded.
She was stunned for a moment and looked at the gold brick in her hand.
And what about Liu Yan? Take two gold bricks.
Ding Hui sighed deeply in his heart: Oh, women, it’s better to have children!
Alas, my belly, alas!
~~
Little Cao Ang can't even pick up gold bricks.
His little hands had just received the gold brick. Although he was holding one end of the gold brick with both hands, the other end of the gold brick was hanging down in his mother's arms.
Cao Cao hugged little Cao Ang, threw him up, caught him again, threw him up again, and caught him again.
He praised and said: "My son has grown taller and more handsome! In the future, he will study literature and martial arts and become a general. Do you understand? You must have dreams. Do you understand? If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? ?right?"
Little Cao Ang can't speak yet, but he laughs when his father teases him like this, which is really cute.
He reached out to grab his father's hair again, as if he was afraid that Cao Cao would throw him away again.
This family of three is so happy, so happy.
Ding Hui felt very unhappy when he saw it.
She hummed and turned away.
~~
Liu Yan woke up with a start.
She was afraid that Ding Hui would bully her again because of this, so she hurriedly caught up with Ding Hui, stuffed a gold brick into her arms, and whispered: "Sister, this is a gift from Zixiu to you. Please accept Zixiu's little smile." I mean, our Cao family is not short of money, we are just teasing Cao Mengde. He is under great mental pressure and it is not easy to risk his life to seek an official position."
~~
Zixiu is the name of Xiao Cao Ang.
~~
Ding Hui was immediately elated.
She smiled brightly and said: "Haha, thank you, good girl. This is Zixiu's money. My sister can't accept it. When Zixiu grows up, my sister will have to hire a master for him to teach him literature and martial arts. It will cost a lot." Okay, my sister and Zixiu will play with your husband for a while, and my sister will go take a shower and change clothes first."
After she finished speaking, she pushed the gold brick back to Liu Yan.
Then she went back to her house carrying a gold brick.
~~
Liu Yan returned to Cao Cao's bedroom and closed the door.
She whispered: "Husband, didn't you borrow money from me a few days ago? Why do you suddenly have so much money? Where did it come from? Are you going to be a robber too?"
Cao Cao whispered: "My father temporarily deposited the money with me. I heard that he was going to retire and return to his hometown, so your majesty rewarded him with a sum of money. Don't say anything and don't reveal your family wealth. Otherwise, you will suffer disaster and be robbed by thieves." .”
Liu Yan shook her head and said: "You are lying. You asked your father to borrow money a few days ago, but he still refused. How could you put so much money in your bedroom again? Isn't this sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? Yours Don’t I know what you are like as a person? When you were a child, even brothers Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gulu were played around by you and often gave you money to spend. "
Cao Cao was amused by her and laughed.
He then said seriously: "Anyway, this money can't be moved around. I have an important purpose. Remember my words, you will know in the future. Anyway, you and Mrs. Ding are not short of money. I am the only one who is."
Liu Yan pouted and said, "If you use this money to go out to find women, that won't work. Then I will yell out and let the robbers steal all the money."
Cao Cao immediately promised: "No, my house is already chaotic enough with you and Mrs. Ding. Let's go to your room and ask someone to bring water. I want to take a bath and change clothes. I will accompany you tonight."
hehe! Liu Yan laughed out loud again and turned around.
Cao Cao hugged little Cao Ang, followed him out, closed the door behind him, and locked the door with one hand.
House servants and maids did not dare to enter his bedroom casually.
Unless there is someone like Liu Yan among the maids who is beautiful and wants to be in a position, they will take the initiative to find Cao Cao and close the door.
But currently, there has not been another Liu Yan in the Cao family.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, had new things outside from time to time, and was not interested in the maids in the house.
That night, he and Liu Yan were having fun.
Mrs. Ding was in the east wing, sighing and unable to sleep all night.
~~
The next day, Sima Fang came to Cao Mansion in person and sent Cao Cao to the post of captain of the northern part of Luoyang.
He was very optimistic about Cao Cao and felt that Cao Cao could achieve great things.
The people in Wei Yamen in the north immediately respected Cao Cao.
This moved Cao Cao very much.
He thanked Sima Fang for his support and said that he would definitely repay his benefactor in the future.
~~
