Mao Jie was just upright, not stupid. He understood in an instant that although he didn't know why Cao Wu wanted to make this child famous, he already knew that Cao Wu wrote those thirteen stories all for this child.
He cursed Cao Wu eight hundred times in his mind, but the expression on his face did not change.
In order to leave a name for eternity, I endured it.
He took out the booklet in his hand and showed it to Deng Ai. Deng Ai looked at the last page and touched his head, looking quite embarrassed.
"This...this is..."
"It was given to you by your general."
Mao Jie sighed, Cao Wu didn't even tell the child.
After asking for it hundreds of times, Deng Ai finally took him to see Cao Wu.
Fortunately, he didn't see those half-dressed maids along the way, and Mao Jie finally looked calmer.
Cao Wu was practicing Wu Qin Xi in an empty space, feeling refreshed and refreshed.
This time Cao Wu was more polite to Mao Jie. After exchanging pleasantries, he read Mao Jie's preface.
"Filial piety to a husband is the foundation of virtue. However, it is difficult to explain the full picture of the Filial Piety Sutra with a thousand words, because the fourteen filial piety..."
Cao Wu read the preface and then looked at Heng Jie's polish. They both stayed up late to write it, and the writing was much better than Cao Wu's original.
Both of them were great Confucians. Although they had done their best, they put Cao Wu's name first and them behind. This made Cao Wu sigh that the ancients were honest and honest. Such great Confucians value reputation most and would never do anything on the surface. Doing things that deceive the world and steal reputation.
He made several requests, and Mao Jie readily agreed and took the order.
In the afternoon of that day, celebrities in Xudu received a pamphlet, and they all liked it very much.
Early the next morning, the entire Yingchuan County family received it.
The next evening, Yecheng in the north also received it.
The literary world was shocked.
Among the fourteen stories, some people are still alive, such as Wang Xiang and Deng Ai.
When an official heard about Deng Ai's affairs, he took the initiative to apply for exemption from corvee for Deng Ai.
Deng Ai has become a filial son that has been passed down through the ages, and he still has to do corvee and field service. Doesn't it mean that the court is mediocre?
As a result, memorials like snowflakes flew to the Chancellor's desk.
Liu Xiang, the new left minister who temporarily manages the Shangshutai, has a big head.
He was also a surrendered general in Jingzhou and was very famous in Jingzhou. When Liu Cong surrendered in August, he was named Shangshu and became one of Cao Cao's wishes for officials in Jingzhou. He went to Xudu together with the new Guanglu Qing Kuai Yue.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were five ministers in the Shangshu Desk, namely Xuanbu, Zuomin, Kecao, Wubing, and Duzhi.
These five Cao Cao were the prototype of the six ministers in the future. The five Cao Cao all obeyed the orders of the Shangshu. As long as the three gongs and nine ministers did not record the affairs of the Shangshu, they were just nobles and had less power than the Shangshu.
After Xun Yu took charge of the Shangshutai, the situation became even worse than before. All major national affairs came from the Shangshutai. Xun Yu controlled the entire north with an official position that could not be ranked among the top twenty Shangshuling.
His contribution can be seen from the fiefdom, Long Live Pavilion Hou Xunyu, Long Live Pavilion is not one of those rural suburbs outside, but one of the most prosperous pavilions in the world.
With Xun Yu, the big boss in control of the overall situation, Liu Xian's Zuo Min Shangshu did well at first, but when the war in the Yangtze River subsided, Xun Yu suddenly complained of illness.
The selection department was to be the future Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel. Xun Yu firmly controlled it, and Zuo Min Shangshu became the largest official in Shangshutai. Liu Xian was forced to temporarily take charge of Shangshutai, and his troubles began.
General Beifu asked someone to open the back door to exempt a child from the corvee. It was not a big deal. He wanted to turn a blind eye, but he was stopped by other Cao Shangshu, saying that once this case was opened, it would be a big deal in the future. The country will no longer be a country.
Liu Xian rolled his eyes a hundred thousand times in his heart, knowing that these people had opened many back doors in private.
But on the surface, I could only agree and suppress the matter.
Only when the memorials from various places requesting to exempt Deng Ai from the corvee arrived at the Chancellor's desk did Liu Xian know that the matter was serious.
He had the intention to ignore it and wait until Xun Yu recovered from his illness or Cao Cao came back, but when important officials such as Zhong Yao, the captain of the Sili School, came to write letters, he did not dare not reply.
Liu Xian sat in Taichung, looked at the south and sighed: "Jingzhou officials are still easy to do, they just need to talk."
After saying this, he stamped the document exempting Deng Ai from the corvee.
A little Shinno child affected the entire government and the public, and the incident was sealed.
…
"A heavy weight seems to be light, a heavy weight seems to be light!"
Zhuge Liang held up the document with the seal of "Han Shangshu Desk" and said happily.
Lu Xun also smiled.
The two counselors never imagined that their lord could resolve Deng Ai's matter in this way.
The two of them wanted to bring everyone with them, but they couldn't implement it because it was not in line with Cao Cao's character and interests.
Cao Wu, however, easily solved this problem by turning his cheap apprentice into a moral model without taking action himself.
Not only did Deng Ai no longer have to do corvee work, but he also became famous all over the world, paving the way for him to enter officialdom in the future.
Deng Ai was very embarrassed when he found out about this. He was very precocious and didn't think it was a big deal for his surrogate mother to move north. Now that his reputation is spread all over the world, he is under pressure.
There was no pressure on Cao Wuze. Deng Shizai was both civil and military in his life and had no black spots. He was obviously the one who destroyed Shu, but he was not hated by the Shu Han supporters in later generations. He can be called a perfect man. It was just because of his background that he failed to make achievements early and was framed and killed.
In this life, he was given fame and background, which was enough for him to realize his ambition early.
He said to Deng Ai: "When your mother and younger siblings are brought here and the apprenticeship ceremony is performed, you must study hard with these two gentlemen. In the future, you must become a general or a prime minister, and your name will last forever."
Deng Ai saluted solemnly and said: "Ai... lost his father when he was young, and the general is my father!"
Zhuge Liang was already very satisfied with Deng Ai. Seeing how sincere he was, he liked him even more and decided to teach him what he had learned throughout his life as his successor.
After Zhuge Liang and others left, Diao Chan rolled her eyes at Cao Wu and said, "Cao Wu, let me know later so I don't have to worry."
Cao Wudao: "At that time, I thought you hadn't gotten up yet, so I left first."
Diao Chan said "hmm" and asked again: "Then what about the impeachment of hundreds of officials?"
"The officials are not fools. The booklet of Fourteen Filial Piety is a warning to them, letting them know that I, Cao Wu, is easy to mess with. Through Mao Jie, I let the Central Plains nobles see this book within three days, showing my power . Presumably someone has already regretted it and withdrawn the impeachment at this moment."
Diao Chan nodded: "Cao...Cao Lang is smarter than these two gentlemen."
"It just happened to have some accumulation. However, the impeachment of hundreds of officials will not be forgotten like this. This matter was done by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. The last time Cao Pi broke into Beifu, before I could deal with him, he took action against me first. . I had no intention of participating in the dispute, but now that he has taken action, I cannot sit idly by."
While the two were talking, suddenly the doorman came.
As soon as the doorman saw Cao Wu, he ran over quickly and said, "General, what's wrong! Chen Qun, the official secretary and censor, is here! He also brought a lot of gifts and said he was coming to propose marriage!"
Propose marriage?
Cao Wu was stunned. He had known that Chen Qun had a problem, but he didn't expect that he would come to propose marriage? Who is he going to mention?
Diao Chan grasped Cao Wu's hand tightly, and her expression turned cold.
