Cao Ang arranged his clothes and seals, and was about to go out when he saw Mrs. Ding rushing back from outside with two maids.
Seeing Cao Ang about to go out, Mrs. Ding hurriedly said:
"Where are my sons, Zixiu, going?"
When Cao Ang saw this, he hurriedly saluted and said:
"Go back to mother, I have nothing to do, let's go out for a walk."
Hearing the sound, Mrs. Ding hurriedly said with concern:
"My son's injury has not healed. How can he move around freely? Go back quickly and wait until the injury heals before getting out of bed."
Cao Ang had no choice but to follow his mother back to the mansion.
But at this moment, Xu Chu, the tiger fool, quickly walked into Cao's house and said:
"I have met the mistress and met the young master. The prime minister has something to do and wants to summon the young master."
Mrs. Ding suddenly showed an unhappy look and said:
"Reply to the Prime Minister, my son is injured and should not go out!"
Xu Chu looked troubled and said:
"The Prime Minister has given orders and has prepared a carriage to pick up the young master."
Mrs. Ding frowned and said:
"Young Master has just returned home. What can happen that requires Young Master to go there? Is there anything that the Prime Minister should come back to say on his own?"
Xu Chu said with a fearful expression:
"Go back to mistress, I don't know what's going on."
Seeing this, Mrs. Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that if she continued talking, she would only embarrass Xu Chu. She turned around and said softly to Cao Ang:
"Hey, maybe there is really a military and national event. My son will go and take a look."
Hearing this, Cao Ang nodded happily.
Finally, Mrs. Ding added:
"I just have to go back quickly! I just went to Xun Mansion and the wedding date has been set. The wedding will be held in three days. You have to come back to refer to the layout."
Cao Ang nodded quickly and got into the carriage with Xu Chu's help.
In Xudu City, the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion very quickly, and then Xu Chu carefully supported Cao Ang and walked inside.
In the lobby of the inner palace, Prime Minister Cao held two swords in both hands and was concentrating on admiring the two swords with extremely fine workmanship.
It wasn't until he noticed Cao Ang's arrival that the prime minister put away his swords and said with a smile:
"Zixiu, my son, how is your injury?"
Cao Ang endured the severe pain on his shoulder, bowed and saluted:
"Thank you for your concern, father. The injury is getting better."
The Prime Minister nodded and said:
"A few years ago, my father accidentally got a piece of mysterious iron from heaven, so he ordered a skilled craftsman to cast two swords for my father and son respectively. Now three years have passed, and the swords are ready!"
Having said this, the Prime Minister handed the two swords to Cao Ang and said:
"My son, Zixiu, come and choose one!"
Cao Ang was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, and it was difficult to use his whole arm. He just took one of the long swords with his right hand. When he took a look at the sword body, he was stunned.
I saw two words engraved on the sword near the hilt:
Yitian!
Good guy!
Heavenly Sword!
Not to mention that the Heavenly Sword is made of fine workmanship, the sword is as smooth as a mirror, and the cold light is compelling. The name alone is already very domineering.
The Yitian Sword seems to be engraved in the DNA of a man's bones. Seeing the Yitian Sword, the DNA in his bones will immediately become restless.
Having the Heavenly Sword in hand is every man’s ultimate dream!
No need to look, Cao Ang also knows another sword called Qingzhi Sword!
It turns out that these two magical weapons were specially forged for Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son!
Looking at the Yitian Sword in his hand, Cao Ang's eyes also exuded a burning light, and he blurted out almost subconsciously:
"If you can't rely on the sky, who can compete with you?"
Hearing the sound, the Prime Minister couldn't help but be stunned.
This situation made the prime minister unable to help but have wild thoughts.
Suddenly, Wang Tu's hegemony is very close!
In fact, this sentence seems ordinary.
But at this time, there seemed to be some kind of magic power, which immediately made the Prime Minister feel elated.
"Father, I will choose this Heavenly Sword!"
"Okay, okay, hey hey..."
The prime minister was overjoyed, knowing that Cao Ang had difficulty moving, so he put the Heavenly Sword into its sheath, and then personally put the sword on Cao Ang's waist.
Finally, the prime minister put the green sword on his waist.
At this moment, the Prime Minister was so proud that he was as happy as a beggar picking up other people's leftovers.
After looking at himself repeatedly, the prime minister asked Cao Ang:
"My son, do you think that wearing a green sword for your father makes him a hero?"
Cao Ang smiled and said:
"My father is a worthy hero even if he doesn't wear a sword!"
.......
Let’s talk a little bit off topic.
When reading the Three Kingdoms, there is always a big doubt, or loophole.
Even though Cao Cao was a hero, why didn't he have the ambition to become emperor?
Some people analyze that Cao Cao in the early period was indeed loyal to the Han Dynasty and had no intention of proclaiming himself emperor.
Although these words beautify Cao Cao, they also explain this contradiction.
But Napoleon famously said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier.
This is not unreasonable.
Liu Bei claimed to be the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty and was determined to revive the Han Dynasty, but everyone knew that he wanted to proclaim himself emperor.
Even Jiangdong rats and scoundrels like Sun Quan have aspirations of becoming emperor.
Does Cao Cao, a man of great talent and strategy, really not want to be emperor?
But when I read Cao Cao's words before his death, it seemed that all the answers were self-evident:
In 220 AD, Cao Cao died of illness.
When he was dying, he told the ministers about his funeral arrangements and said: I have nothing to regret in this life, except that I didn't know that when I was under Jiuquan, if Zixiu asked me where my mother was, how should I answer?
When future generations read the scene of meeting Zixiu under the silent Jiuquan, they could not help but burst into tears.
When a bird is about to die, its song is mournful; when a man is about to die, his words are also kind.
Although Cao Cao is a tyrant, he is definitely a man of true temperament.
These words before his death may have revealed the biggest knot in Cao Cao's life.
Cao Ang's death, like a butterfly effect, triggered a series of uncontrollable serious consequences in Cao's camp.
Mrs. Ding was the first wife and the person Cao Cao respected and loved the most, but Mrs. Ding divorced Boss Cao on the spot.
Cao Ang was ten years older than Cao Pi, and Cao Pi was only a teenager at that time.
The proud soldiers and generals in Cao's camp were obviously beyond the control of these children.
In history, Cao Ang was smart, benevolent and filial, and won the heart of Cao Cao. No matter how much Cao Cao loved him, he could never be too fond of him. He was Cao Cao's determined successor.
What's more, during the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang had already accumulated enough prestige in the army to be able to suppress these arrogant generals.
But with the death of Cao Ang, Cao Cao was immediately disheartened and lost all hope.
The most proud son is gone, how can he still be in the mood to become emperor?
As Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and other brothers grew up, Cao Cao finally had someone to succeed him, and then he gradually showed his desire to become emperor again, allowing these children to inherit the emperor's legacy.
"If destiny is mine, I would like to be King Wen of Zhou."
This is Cao Cao's famous saying, and it is also a hidden expression of his inner thoughts.
From this point of view, everything is explained.
Therefore, Cao Ang's death was the greatest pain in Cao Cao's life!
