Chapter 780: Naked Cao Ang
Cao Cao thought to himself, this thousands of miles in front of me are picturesque, if I don't have the surname Cao, how can I rest? After decades of flicking his fingers, Cao Cao didn't know when he started, and he had the idea of competing for hegemony in his heart. After this thought rose up, it grew like a weed in his heart, and he could not stop it anymore.
From the small Yanzhou, to the Yanzhou, Henan, to the Jingzhou battle, and now to Yizhou. It wasn't easy for him to come this way. It was the hard work and bones of countless people who paved the way and brought him to where he is today. If you give too much and ask him to stop, how can he be willing? It's just the situation in the world. Cao Cao sighed in his heart. There is a feeling of powerlessness.
Cao Cao's eyes began to drift, but his mind didn't know where to go. Cao Ang stood quietly with his hands down, and when he saw his father's eyes on the wall, looking at the huge map in a daze, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew his father's ambition and was willing to give his all to it. It's just that that person is like a mountain, pressing on the top of his father's head, Cao Ang thinks of that person, and his heart is also in awe and awe.
Cao Ang's eyes fell on Cao Cao's face, how long had his father not laughed? A few gray hairs were added to the temples, and a few strands of sorrow were added to the face. This world, this country, is indeed exciting, but is the destiny really in my Cao family? Can you really fight it? The question that I had thought about countless times in the middle of the night, this time, suddenly came to Cao Ang's mind again.
Loyalty and filial piety, monarchs and ministers, father and son, the world...... Countless thoughts flashed through Cao Ang's heart. Looking at Cao Cao's tired face, Cao Ang gritted his teeth, and as soon as he was ruthless, he said in a trembling voice: "Father, my son thinks that if you can't do something, it's better to stop." In this way, the father can keep his name, the whole clan, and the lord. ”
Although Cao Ang's voice was not loud, it was extremely clear in this quiet room. Although Cao Cao was stunned, he listened to his son's words word for word. So Cao Cao was stunned, he looked at this eldest son, and said, "Zixiu, what were you talking about just now?" ”
Cao Cao's face was incredulous, as if he was affirming that he had just hallucinated, and Cao Ang did not speak. But in an instant, when he saw Cao Ang's calm face, and planned to repeat it. Cao Cao was instantly furious.
A nameless fire surged from the bottom of Cao Cao's heart, he stood up violently, waved his sleeves and brushed the desk, and scolded angrily: "Bastard! ”
Cao Cao didn't know what it was like in his heart, and emotions such as anger, sadness, and surprise were intertwined, making him have mixed feelings. He never imagined that the son he admired the most and trusted the most, the son who he had worked so hard to cultivate, would betray him. How dare he? How could he?
When Cao Cao stood up and was angry, Cao Ang knelt down and pleaded: "Father, let go of your anger. ”
Anger? How Cao Cao was able to calm his anger. He was working hard outside, thinking about laying a foundation for his children and grandchildren, but his heir did not cherish it, and now he actually said such things. It's really a cub who sells Ye Tian's heart. Cao Cao was furious, and couldn't help but think, is it appropriate for him to let Cao Ang as his heir?
Cao Cao walked around the room like an angry lion, and if it weren't for his son kneeling in front of him, he would have slashed with his sword. An inexplicable emotion brewed in Cao Cao's heart but couldn't be vented, Cao Cao was panting heavily, his eyes were red. When Cao Ang saw it, he couldn't help but regret it in his heart, so he cried and said, "Father's anger, it's the child's fault. The reason why the child does not choose to say anything is that he can't bear to see his father working hard, his face is full of sadness, and he is getting thinner and thinner. The child does not want any inheritance, as long as the father is healthy and happy. ”
This is Cao Ang's heartfelt words, word by word, full of sincerity. The heart of the fist is undoubtedly revealed. looked at Cao Ang's face full of tears, and the admiration in his eyes was revealed. Cao Cao's anger in his heart suddenly disappeared. I can't help but sigh secretly, this idiot.
Cao Cao and Cao Ang had very different personalities, and Cao Ang was very different from his brothers. Cao Cao may have been very strict with his sons, especially his eldest son Cao Ang, because his youth was too willful. Since childhood, they have been allowed to study and practice martial arts, and Cao Ang is even more familiar with the Confucian scriptures. This leads to a big problem, Cao Ang read the Bible, that is really reading it. Cao Cao read the scriptures, but he used them if they were useful to himself, and discarded them if they were useless to himself. Therefore, in various studies in later generations, many people will include Cao Cao as a legalist. And never regarded him as a pure Confucian child. But Cao Ang is different, he is a typical Confucian disciple, and Confucian classics are regarded as the guideline by him.
That's why Cao Ang is so painful. Confucianism's loyalty and filial piety, monarch and minister, his own ideals and pursuits, and various righteous ideas often entrenched in his heart. And these are things that Cao Cao has never discovered and understood.
As Cao Cao's number one heir, Cao Ang has been cultivated by his side since he was a child, and even joined the army with his father early on, and fought with Cao Cao's side, which is a treatment that Cao Cao's other sons have never had. Cao Pi once said that he also followed Cao Cao to the south to conquer Zhang Xiu, and he was only ten years old at that time, and he fled on horseback. This kind of thing is not found in the official history, but in the wild history. According to normal reasoning, Cao Pi should not appear in that war. That time, Cao Cao fled in a hurry, and Dian Wei, his eldest son Cao Ang, and his nephew Cao Anmin were all killed in battle. If Cao Pizhen is in the army, who can save his life? His father's number one bodyguard, his two elder brothers died in the chaos, no one can take care of anyone, who can take care of Cao Pi, who is only ten years old?
In this life, because of Liu Bei's chaotic entry, the long river of history has taken a small turn and has become different. So Dian Wei didn't die, and Cao Ang was fine. But because of this, Cao Ang has been more trained in both military and political aspects. As a result, his horizons have been greatly broadened, and his views on the world have gradually taken the rudiments of his own thoughts.
It can be said that Cao Cao and Cao Ang, father and son, are not consistent in terms of three views. Cao Cao was ambitious and ambitious, and he wanted to expand his territory and call him a lonely widow. Cao Ang thought more, but he was afraid that it would be to Jun Yao Shun and make the customs pure.
So, that's why Cao Ang was bold to speak out to Cao Cao tonight. On the one hand, he is filial by nature, and he can't bear to see his father Cao Cao overtired and worried. On the other hand, he was also tormented in his heart, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
It's good to dominate the world, but it's not bad to be a capable minister and a good official who has left a name in history, and to govern the world and enjoy peace. Especially after Cao Ang read Liu Bei's various articles and theories, his yearning for peace, a well-off society, and the great harmony of the world became even stronger.
Liu Bei, who is in Jiangdong, if he knew that he had made the Four Sentences Teaching, Gewu Theory and other works of later generations, he could lead Cao Ang, the heir of the number one enemy Cao Cao, astray, and he would laugh out loud with joy in his dreams.
