Chapter Seventy-Seven: Father and Son, Monarch and Minister, Official Documents!
Holding a bowl of hot ginseng soup, Cao Chong entered the side hall of Dacheng Hall directly with the warmest smile on his face.
Although the partial hall of Dacheng Hall is said to be a partial hall, the area inside is absolutely not small.
Entering it, Cao Chong also had a sense of insignificance, which showed that the area of this side hall was huge.
In the side hall, the dim light shone on Cao Cao in the center of the side hall.
Cao Cao knelt on the blanket at this time, his eyes blazing at the official documents from all over the world in his hand.
Sometimes, he would smile, make some comments with a happy mood, and even write poems to praise the local political achievements, but when he saw the bad content of the official document, Cao Cao's face suddenly turned as dark as ink, and he almost dripped water.
Cao Chong stood in the hall for a while, slowly handed the ginseng soup to Cao Cao's table, and helped Cao Cao tidy up the bamboo slips that were placed too casually on the table, like a garbage heap.
Cao Chong approached Cao Cao, and Cao Cao fixed his gaze on Cao Chong.
"Cangshu, three watches in the middle of the night, are you looking for me in a hurry?"
Cao Chong smiled and said: "The son saw that his father was working for the country late at night, so he specially prepared a century-old ginseng soup to make up for his father's body. ”
Make up for it?
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Chong angrily, took the soup bowl in Cao Chong's hand very domineeringly, looked at the brown and thick ginseng soup, he first took a deep breath, and then tasted it gently.
"Huh! This ginseng soup is so similar to the ginseng soup in the palace dining room, Cangshu, this century-old ginseng, it doesn't seem to be very powerful! ”
The corners of Cao Chong's mouth twitched, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.
Of course, he knew that Boss Cao had seen through his tricks.
And this trick itself was seen through by Boss Cao.
This ginseng soup will be sent to Cao Cao once in a few days, and Liu Yong didn't come for a few days, and Cao Chong happened to bring a bowl of "hundred-year-old" ginseng soup, as long as he has a little associative ability, he can roughly think of a lot of things.
Cao Cao's resourcefulness is unparalleled, and his imagination is naturally not bad.
Cao Chong's little trick, Cao Cao knew that he had seen through it.
But even if he saw it through, Cao Cao's mood would not be bad, but he felt a little relieved and happy.
Cao Chong is his son after all, and his son is looking for an excuse to amuse himself, and Cao Cao is naturally happy in the boredom of changing official documents for a long time.
"Father, this is a detail, father, please don't care about these details."
Cao Cao was amused by Cao Chong's words.
"Okay, okay, I care about these details, that Cangshu didn't accompany your wives and concubines in the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night, and went to the palace to find me, a bad old man."
"Father is naturally not a bad old man, Cang Shu can't wait to be by his father's side all the time."
Even though he knew that Cao Chong's words were just perfunctory, Cao Cao was still very happy in his heart.
He put down the bowl containing the ginseng soup, scraped Cao Chong with his hand, and said, "I said that Cangshu, why do you have so many wives and concubines, it turns out that the reason for your mouth is this." ”
For this sentence, Cao Chong could only laugh stupidly, and did not answer Boss Cao's question positively.
Cao Cao naturally understood Cao Chong's style many times, so now it is not strange, but there is a sense of intimacy.
Perhaps only in the middle of the night can Cao Cao show his father's paternal love, and at other times, Cao Cao is the relationship between the king and the courtiers for Cao Chong.
Compared with the relationship between father and son, it is naturally much more rusty.
Cao Chong enjoyed the feeling of being a father.
Especially when Cao Chong can fully mobilize Boss Cao's emotions, that is even more so.
Parents always like funny children, and a serious child is the child template they pursue, but for those naughty children, parents will always have more love for him.
This is the case with Cao Chong.
After laughing with Cao Cao for a while, Cao Chong began to get into the subject.
"Father, actually, my son came here today, and there is one more thing."
One thing?
The sincere expression on Cao Cao's face disappeared, and it was replaced by the majesty of King Wei.
"What?"
Cao Cao's voice had changed.
Regardless of state affairs, Cao Cao and Cao Chong are naturally father and son, but as long as it is about the country, then the relationship between the two is that of a monarch and a minister.
This cannot be changed.
"About Ma Teng, Liu Zhang's stabbing case."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"So that's it."
Cao Cao sighed with emotion, and did not let Cao Chong start to talk about things, but fell silent.
Boss Cao didn't play cards according to the routine, Cao Chong hurriedly said: "Father, in this matter, the sons found some clues and roughly identified a few suspects, but there are some things that have to be told to the father first, and some people are high and powerful, and the sons may not be able to interrogate, and they need the consent of the father." ”
Cao Cao listened to Cao Chong's words without any shocked look on his face.
On the contrary, Cao Cao's face was very calm, and it was an ancient well.
It's weird.
Boss Cao, you attach so much importance to this matter, shouldn't you show a shocked look now, and then your curiosity was aroused, and you immediately came to ask me questions.
However, your expression, not only did not have the joy of me investigating the truth, but felt that it was normal.
Could it be that at the beginning, Boss Cao knew who the murderer was?
So indifferent.
Cao Chong was a little shocked in his heart, and said to Cao Chong: "Father..."
Cao Cao didn't speak, but just found four rolls of bamboo slips under the table and handed them to Cao Chong.
"I thought you would come a few days later, but I didn't expect you to come over so soon, but it was beyond Lone's expectations."
Cao Cao's sentence is a bit informative.
Did he know he was coming?
At this time, Cao Conflict suddenly thought of what Xin Bi had said to him before.
"This case is not in a hurry to be investigated, even if it can't be investigated, after a month, the king will not do anything to you."
Could it be that in the beginning, Simbi knew the truth of the matter?
Cao Cao also knew.
Are you the one who is being hidden?
"Father, this..."
Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand again, and said to Cao Chong: "Read these bamboo slips first, and then talk to Gu." ”
Even if Cao Chong had more doubts in his heart, he had to put the doubts in his heart.
The bamboo slips in his hands are dark yellow, and even more so in the light of the dim lights.
Cao Chong opened a bamboo slip on the top and looked at it quietly in his hand.
This is a local official document, and from the first line of the bamboo slip, Cao Chong can see that this is the official document submitted by the Yizhou Governor to Cao Cao.
These local official documents have to be reported to Cao Cao after a period of time, especially in Yizhou, Yangzhou, and Liangzhou, and an official document must be submitted on the 10th.
The submission itself is unremarkable.
But the content of this official document made Cao Chong's pupils shrink suddenly!
