Kong Rong noticed that when he asked this question, Cao Wu looked at him jokingly, as if he had done something extremely stupid.
Cao Wu's face reminded him of Cao Cao's face, and when he thought of Cao Cao's murderous actions, he immediately woke up from the wine.
He bit the bullet and quoted what he had heard when he was discussing Taoism with Xiliang Yang Fu: "The difference between men and women is a major issue in the country. How can there be a naked woman sitting in the broad space! Although the chaos of Jie and Zhou was not as great as this."
This is what we were talking about yesterday about the lack of clothes worn by the maids in Bei Mansion.
He didn't say it was okay, but once he said it, Cao Wu remembered that when he first designed sportswear, he designed it based on bikini clothing, but Ada abruptly added a design similar to safety pants.
This kind of design method that makes people have no trust between people made Cao Wu resentful about Ah Da for a long time.
But resentment is resentment, behind closed doors we are all one family, and now we naturally have to share it with the outside world.
He asked Kong Rong an inexplicable question: "Kong Beihai, were you sweating in my house yesterday?"
Kong Rong paused, and if he wanted to say he was sweating, he must have broken out. The moment Cao Cao saw Cao Pi, not one of the officials at that time broke out in a cold sweat.
But it would be more embarrassing to say it, but to say no, it obviously violated the Confucian concept of honesty, which made him very embarrassed.
He didn't answer, so Cao Wu said for him: "There is a thing in my house called a heater, which can make every place in the house warm like spring. Therefore, my maid will not be cold even if she is dressed like this. Do you understand?"
Kong Rong obviously didn't understand, and the people around him didn't understand what heating was either.
Cao Wu complained in his heart, Yecheng is not in the south without central heating, these ancient people have never seen the world.
In the crowd, the scholar who had been hiding just now spoke again: "General, why bother talking about him? Just follow what Old Master Kong said and answer your maid, whether she also came down from the battlefield!"
Cao Wu raised his hand, and a one-armed servant named Zhang Xia rushed out and grabbed the scholar out.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone took a few steps back.
At this time, Zhang Xia and Ah Da had dismounted, but Cao Wu was still on the horse. He rode forward, and when he arrived in front of the scholar, the horse's hooves were raised high, and the scholar was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"I am Xiaolian, elected by Beihai County. You can't kill me."
When he said this, he was completely crying and had no momentum at all.
He was caught by Zhang Xia and was hit by Cao Wuzong's horse, and his clothes were all wet.
Ada stopped him and said, "No, General."
Cao Wu only frightened him. The horse passed over the scholar's head, but did not hurt him.
Kong Rong was so frightened that he lost consciousness. He pointed at Cao Wu with grief and anger: "Cao Beifu, you let your horse hurt people in the street. You, the Cao family, really don't care about the law or the Han Dynasty!"
Only the veteran and wild Kong Rong dared to say this in public.
When the people around heard this, they all ran away. Some people shouted: "No, the general of Beifu has trampled the great scholar!"
"The dandy kid killed the great scholar in the street!"
After hearing their shouts, Ah Daqi said: "Cao Wu, don't you want reputation! You have done so many things behind your back, why are you slandering your reputation!"
Cao Wu turned his horse around and said with a smile: "To deal with such a nerd, word of mouth is useless."
He has experienced the era of information explosion, and he clearly knows that word-of-mouth is like the direction of the Internet, and the masses are like grass on the wall, often flipping back and forth.
In many things, no one is weak and the other is right. Only by being as decisive as Cao Cao can we achieve great things.
Seeing that his face had been torn, Kong Rong's two sides trembled, and he held on and said: "Kong said Cheng Ren, Meng said Qi Yi. Today I, Kong Wenju, died at the hands of your Cao family. I am worthy of the country's favor!"
Cao Wu shook his head: "You will die within this year, but I won't kill you."
Kong Rong snorted coldly: "Senior officials can be killed, but not humiliated."
"Kong Beihai, Confucianism has six arts, but you have forgotten the three arts of shooting, driving, and counting. You only know the poor scriptures and read the articles of sages in vain!"
"You are a general who relied on your brother to get the position. Why should you educate me?"
Kong Rong held on and wanted to speak, but Cao Wu interrupted him.
"Kong Beihai, you said that the maids in my palace did not come down from the battlefield. Then let me ask you, do you still remember Dong Zhuo's rebellion and the hundreds of officials who were moved from Luoyang to Chang'an?"
"What do all the officials do here?"
Ada took over the conversation: "Master just said that Zhao Situ committed suicide by hanging on a beam. Master, you should know that hundreds of officials moved westward and then east again, without enough food to eat, and they were wandering all the way. After Dong Zhuo, Lu... Li Jue, Guo Sishu During the war, in the past few years, there was only one room out of ten in the Gansu-Shaanxi Pass. Only less than 30% of the officials like Zhao Situ could return to Luoyang alive."
She gritted her teeth, and her flowing voice was full of hatred: "The old thief Dong Zhuo built a dock in the west of Chang'an. It is seven feet tall and thick, and is more than a mile long. It is called Long live dock. The wives of hundreds of officials who died due to Dong Zhuo's rebellion The daughter was captured in the palace, where life was worse than death day and night. Li Jue and Guo Si conquered Chang'an and kidnapped the older daughters of officials, while the younger ones were left to die in Xiwu..."
Kong Rong's eyes widened as he thought of a possibility.
"The Ajiu I met yesterday is the granddaughter of the late Taichang Qing Zhongfu. Li and Guo invaded Chang'an, and the military attachés fled. Zhong Taichang used Jiu Qing's body to guard the palace gate with his sword, and died in a fierce battle. The barbarians of the three tribes Destroy."
"The Ah Qi whom I met yesterday to count the cards was the young daughter of Huang Wan, the former Sili captain. When Dong Zhuo was in great power, Huang Sili plotted to kill Dong Zhuo. After the incident, he was unjustly imprisoned. The entire family was killed except for his young daughter. He was captured and imprisoned and survived."
"These young girls left behind in Yiwu are the maids in my general's residence!"
"Among the three princes are the late Grand Tutor Yuan Tan, the late Situ Wang Gong Baoyun, the former Grand Master Taichang Zhongfu, the late Guang Luxun and Deng Yuan, the late Guardsman Sun Rui, the late Tingwei Xuanbo, the late Dahong Zhou Huan... "
"During the whole rebellion of Dong, Li and Guo, the three princes were like grass and grass, and the nine ministers were like ants. Twenty-seven officials with more than 2,000 tons died, countless other hundreds of officials died, and tens of thousands of official clan members were convicted."
"Master asked, have any of the maids in my family's general's residence been on the battlefield? Then, I want to tell you, every maid in my family and their elders are pillars of the country who sacrificed their lives for the Han Dynasty. Maybe they have not been on the battlefield. But they are not afraid of power and fight for the Han Dynasty!"
"These maids in Bei Mansion are willing to stay in Bei Mansion. I would like to ask, do these loyal and good men have the right to choose their own lives?"
Kong Rong took a few steps back after hearing this, his clothes soaked with sweat.
I thought of Dong Zhuo burning Luoyang, causing chaos in the world, bloodshed in Chang'an, and famous ministers being wronged.
Within five years, both prosperous cities were in ruins.
There was a fire burning in his heart, and he wanted to kill the three thieves with his own hands.
Even the scholars on the ground burst into tears when they heard this.
With a "dong" sound, the contemporary great scholar Kong Rong knelt on the ground.
"I was wrong. After General Beifu took Zhongliang in, it was a righteous act. But I did nothing, and I am ashamed of the Han Dynasty!"
The dispersed people were far away, and they could not hear clearly what they were saying. They could only see the masked woman talking around Kong Rong, and Kong Rong knelt down and started talking again.
Someone asked: "Is this Beifu general taking advantage of the general situation and making the master kneel down?"
"Master Wen Ju must not surrender to Shu Zi!"
"Does Kong Beihai also want to serve with his own body..."
The discussion was very quiet, no one dared to speak out loud, and no one dared to overly slander General Beifu.
However, the facts they saw inevitably made them think.
Cao Wu didn't care what these people thought. He didn't even help Kong Rong, but let him kneel.
Ada glared at him and whispered: "Get off your horse quickly, this is your chance to restore your reputation."
Cao Wu shook his head and smiled: "Reputation and so on, my brother Cao Mengde, why do I care about these things?"
Ah Daqia stamped her feet hastily, showing off her feminine charm in her movements.
Cao Wu told Zhang Xia: "Go back and give the old gentleman some pears. He didn't eat them when he was young, so he should eat more in the future. He... probably won't survive this winter."
He remembered clearly that both the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms had a lot of descriptions of Kong Rong's death. This incident happened before the Battle of Chibi, which was why he did not intend to fight with Kong Rong at first.
Zhang Xia took the order and left.
"Ada, let's go."
Ah Da got on his horse and followed Cao Wuma. Later, he thought about it and realized that he seemed to be annoyed by Cao Wu many times every day, so he lost his temper.
She unconsciously recalled two lines of poetry she heard from Cao Wu.
"Purple smoke arises from the sadness of thousands of households, and when will hundreds of officials turn to heaven again?"
Just as the two riders were about to leave, the sound of reciting poetry fell into Kong Rong's ears. He pondered for a long time and fell silent for a while.
But his status in the literary world can be ranked among the top five in the world.
If you meet lords like Liu Xuande and Sun Zhongmou, let alone kneeling, even if your knees bend, the lords will rush over and hug you.
If he kneels down, the lords will kneel in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao, who was now in charge of the north, looked down upon him. Even Cao Cao's younger brother actually ignored him.
This kind of disregard is a more serious insult than saying that he will not survive this winter.
The emotion that had just brewed had dissipated a lot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I still have two questions."
No one paid any attention to him.
Kong Rong stood up on the ground and said to the backs of the two of them: "I want to know, which famous family does this woman belong to?"
Ada just said that all the maids of Beifu died in the chaos of hundreds of officials, and Ada left a deep impression on Kong Rong. She was clear-minded and articulate, and defeated the great Confucian twice.
He is very familiar with history and officials.
Such a woman must have come from a famous family with a lineage of poems and rituals, and she had read poetry and books since she was a child.
So he wanted to know which family had refuted him.
For a famous person like Kong Rong, once he is truly convinced, he will not hesitate to help the other person become famous and write some articles to praise the other person.
The celebrity Mi Heng once received such treatment, and his "Recommended Mi Heng Watch" has left his name in history.
Cao Wu and Ah Da had just taken a few steps and were still close. When Ah Da heard the question, he turned back and pulled down his veil.
Kong Rong's eyes widened and he pointed at Ada: "You, you...I've seen you before!"
Ah Da nodded: "I have also met the master. When the master was in charge of Beihai, my husband was in charge of Xuzhou. We met once at the banquet."
Kong Rong held his breath and took three breaths to regain his composure: "Are you still alive?"
Ada turned his head and put on his veil again.
Looking back just now, with a startling glance, Cao Wu seemed to have seen the scene of Zhao Min turning back in the movie of his previous life. However, compared to Zhao Min played by Zhang Min, Ah Da was less heroic, but more classical. Looking back It is endlessly memorable.
For a young woman in her thirties, it cannot be said that her charm is still there, she is simply better than before. This wife moved all the Cao family's DNA in Cao Wu's body.
In Cao Wu's ears, Ada's gentle reply sounded: "Therefore, Prince Situ's adopted daughter, my maiden name is Diaochan, is dead. The only one who is alive is Ada from Beifu."
Cao Wu nodded and tightened the little red horse on his crotch.
"drive!"
The two of them walked around Yecheng in the smoke and dust, heading south.
…
In the thirteenth year of the Han Dynasty, the three public officials were dismissed and replaced by the prime minister and the imperial censor. In the sixth month of summer, the public was appointed as the prime minister.
