Chapter 172: The Rise of the Xiao Clan (6)

"The auspicious time has come, the ministers congratulate - salute!"

After a period of singing and dancing, the celebrant stepped forward to announce that it was time to pay New Year's greetings to the Prime Minister, and the civil and military officials left their seats one after another, and were divided into Wendong and Wuxi according to their official positions and titles......

Xiao Yi's official title, merit, and prestige are the highest, so he naturally stood at the forefront, leading a group of civil and military personnel to salute Cao Cao and Mrs. Ding.

"I wish the Prime Minister good health and indefinite life!"

"I wish Madame good luck and a long life!"

…………

In the past, Xiao Yi knelt on his knees and bowed to worship, because Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian were not only prime ministers and ladies of the Han Dynasty, but also their father-in-law and mother-in-law, and they should kowtow as sons-in-law!

This time it was completely different, Xiao Yi clenched his fists with both hands, only lightly rubbed, his knees, waist, and neck were straight, like a javelin, and his tone was slightly stiff.

The soldiers followed the grass and the wind, and the big Sima was proud to not worship, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Gao Shun, and Le Jin...... These generals with different surnames also straightened their waists, and the clan generals who had contradictions with them, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong, were unwilling to bow their heads lower than others, and they also did not kneel!

Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, Jiang Ji, these civil officials, originally bent their bodies, but seeing this situation, their knees and waist boards instantly straightened, and the result was that there were hundreds of civil and military officials, and none of them bowed down.

Everyone present could see that Da Sima did it on purpose, and he used to bow down, because he was sitting with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now he stands proudly and does not kneel, because there is only a father-in-law and no mother-in-law!

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at the aunt, the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye, and now the aunt is fighting for the mother-in-law, which is also reasonable, no one can say anything, but to praise the filial piety of the big Sima!

"Y-good! Good! ”

Mrs. Ding saw that the ministers did not bow down, and suddenly became angry, but she couldn't come out, she had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her kindness and prestige were not established, which was indeed difficult to convince people.

What's more, she also knows that Xiao Yi has a heavy army, and her husband is still afraid of three points, what can she do, if she really makes a fuss, I'm afraid it will be herself who suffers!

Cao Cao was also silent, among the wives and concubines, he owed Mrs. Ding the most, liked Mrs. Huan the most, and respected Mrs. Bian the most, who could be called a good wife and mother, and a powerful internal help, the three women didn't want to live up, and they couldn't have a bowl of water, so they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Son-in-law, I wish my mother-in-law good health and good luck!"

"I wish the Prime Minister's wife - auspicious, wealthy, and all the best!"

……………

"Son-in-law, hurry up, what a good boy - everyone, please get up, the concubine can't afford it!"

After the ministers congratulated, it was time to sit down and drink, but Xiao Yi hurriedly walked a few steps and came to Mrs. Bian, pushing the golden mountain, pouring the jade pillar, and solemnly kneeling and bowing!

Da Sima is still like this, who of the ministers dares to sit down, and they also come over to bow down, and the shouts are particularly loud.

Mrs. Bian is gentle and virtuous, but there are also common problems of women, seeing her husband sitting with her original partner and accepting the congratulations of the civil and military ministers, it is inevitable that her heart will be slightly pantothenic, and she is also a little worried about herself and the status of her daughters!

If Mrs. Ding returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she loses her status as a housewife and has a privileged life, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong will also become concubines, and then lose their inheritance rights, and even kill themselves, the political struggle is cruel.

When he was feeling sorry for himself, he didn't think that Xiao Yi would lead the ministers and come over to pay a big salute, and suddenly his heart was full of joy, he stretched out his hands to support his baby son-in-law, and he didn't forget to glance at Mrs. Ding, and he felt quite complacent in his heart!

Although she is not a wife, she has given birth to four sons, two daughters, and a good son-in-law, and she is supported by civil and military ministers, this is the biggest capital, even if Mrs. Ding returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she can't shake her status!

"I wish the Prime Minister, the lady of the house, and Mrs. - auspicious, wealthy, and all the best!"

Next, the concubines, children, and subordinate officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion came over to salute in turn, they didn't have Xiao Yi's capital, so they didn't dare to stand arrogantly and not kneel, but they adjusted the order of kneeling.

first worshiped Cao Cao, then Mrs. Bian, and finally Mrs. Ding, and they knelt down three times repeatedly, and they were not too troublesome!

On the one hand, Mrs. Bian is gentle and virtuous, manages the Prime Minister's Mansion in an orderly manner, and takes care of the concubines and children.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi has a heavy army and outstanding meritorious service, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi are also in charge and have a lot of power.

Maybe he didn't dare to expose his ambitions, or maybe he was angry, even Mrs. Huan didn't dare to make trouble, and obediently bowed to Mrs. Bian, her three sons were too young, not as good as their four adult sons!

What's more, I don't have a daughter, and I don't have a considerate and filial son-in-law with a heavy army.

"Alas—alas!"

The people's hearts are the will of heaven, Cao manipulated the power of the world, and he couldn't reverse the people's hearts, and sighed softly a few times, what he owed to Mrs. Ding could only find another way to compensate!

What's more, compared with the two ladies Ding and Bian, the former has too strong personality and is easy to offend people; The latter is gentle and virtuous, can help himself unite people's hearts, for the sake of the Cao family's great cause, Mrs. Bian is more suitable to be the housewife!

Mrs. Ding smiled bitterly, she was helpless, she had no children and no good son-in-law was her biggest weakness, and at the same time she clenched Cao Ju's little hand, and her idea of passing on was even stronger, and she was helpless without a son!

And through this incident, it also proves that Xiao Yi's strength is enough to compete with the traitorous male, if he goes back a few years, Xiao Yi is brave enough to interfere in the traitor's housework.

"Shengyu - Shengying, everyone Shengjiu!"

"At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, and the prime minister is a great man and martial arts, why not splash ink and let everyone pay their respects!"

"Haha--so the old man is ugly!"

Everyone returned to their seats and began to enjoy singing, dancing, eating, drinking and merrymaking, and the originally awkward atmosphere slowly relaxed.

According to the rules of the past, whenever there is a festival in the New Year, the ministers will chant poems to help the fun of the banquet, and Cao Cao is one of the best, and has written a lot of classic speeches!

Immediately, someone carried the bookcase, spread rice paper, grinded juice, and dipped a wolf pen, and lit a furnace of ambergris, which had the effect of refreshing the brain, and the ministers also stretched their necks, waiting for the prime minister to create another masterpiece.

I saw Cao Cao holding the pen in his hand, and began to hold his breath and contemplate the resignation, and now the people are panicked and uneasy, and they should write a heroic and heroic essay to express their heroic spirit, and also cheer up the ministers!

"Prime Minister Qiqi, there is an urgent report from Jingzhou!"

was brewing emotions, a waiter trotted in and handed over a Hongling urgent report, Cao Cao had to put down the brush, open the emergency report and watch it, his expression did not change much, but his eyes were even darker, and then handed it to Xiao Yi......

After Xiao Yi read it, he first nodded, then sighed, and handed it to Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, and Jiang Ji...... The civil and military ministers have all seen it, and the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense!

It turned out that six days ago, Liu Bei and Pang Tong commanded the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, and in the south of Guiyang - on the bank of Xiangshui, they attacked the barbarians with a night attack, beheaded more than 60,000 people, and the corpses went down the river, so that the river was blocked!

Shi Xie led thousands of remnants, fled back to the old nest - Jiaozhi County in a panic, the Jingzhou army followed the pursuit all the way, and defeated the Baiyue tribes in a row, every battle must be cut down and surrendered, and the Yue people who were killed fled in despair, occupying a large area of land in Jiaozhou!

With Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Kong Ming and other talents, it is estimated that within three or two years, they will be able to pacify the land of Jiaozhou, control the Baiyue tribe, and then sweep the southwest half of the country, forming a three-legged trend of Cao, Sun and Liu!

"Liu Bei, the dragon among the people, has not gotten water in his life, and now he has the four counties of Jingzhou first, and the land of Jiaozhou, it is really like a dragon returning to the sea, and he will become a big trouble in the future!

That's it, send a messenger to Jiangling City, canonize Liu Bei as the general of Annan, the marquis of Lucheng Township, and also lead the state pastor, and give a royal horse and a royal belt to show his achievements in the war! ”

After a few sighs, Cao Cao did not get angry, but in the name of the emperor, sent someone to canonize Liu Bei, no matter what, Liu Bei is also the uncle of the Han Emperor, and now he has broken through the Baiyue tribe, which is due to the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, must also have enough mind!

Besides, the momentum of Liu Bei's group has been achieved, and it is impossible to suppress it, so it is better to push the boat down the river, further ease the relationship between the two sides, and avoid another war in Jingzhou.

Next, Cao Cao re-wrote and prepared to continue to create a rhetoric, but due to the impact of this incident, the heroic spirit in his chest was greatly reduced, and the sense of grief rose......

The battle of the conquest was defeated, not to mention the loss of troops, the dream of unifying the world was also shattered, and he was old and decrepit, and his remaining life was not much, so I am afraid that he would never have the opportunity to raise his sword high and embark on the journey...... My life is coming to an end!

Calligraphy, resignation, and swordsmanship all rely on the strength of the chest and the wrist, Cao Cao has grievances, and the wolf pen also moves, on the white rice paper, expressing the spirit of grievance......

Although the turtle is long-lived, there is still a time,

The snake rides the fog, and finally turns into ashes,

……………………

"Ahem! --Ahem! ”

The four sentences jumped on the paper, Cao Cao suddenly woke up, and secretly saw that the big thing was not good, and he made a speech at the New Year's banquet, wanting to boost morale and prove that he was not old and could continue to be in charge!

I didn't think about it, and unconsciously wrote such four sentences, full of grievances, decadence, and death, which is just the opposite of the original intention, if this is spread, people will inevitably talk about it:

thinks that Prime Minister Cao Cheng's hero is in his twilight, and even not far from death, his sense of awe will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the royal family, officials, and scholars who have been suppressed may also take the opportunity to make trouble, which really leads to a bloody coup, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the current Cao family.

I have the intention to abandon and rewrite one, but under the gaze of countless eyes, Cao Cao doesn't feel very good, which will only make him appear weak and make people despise him even more, not to mention that it is impossible to hide it when it is written in black and white......

Between the dilemma, Cao Cao's cold sweat flowed, and his body trembled slightly, he didn't think that his eloquence was so great that he was defeated in a poem, how to continue to write in the back to turn the situation around?

"Hehe--the prime minister is drunk, how about the son-in-law writing on his behalf?"

Xiao Yi stood by the bookcase, wanting to appreciate the traitor's masterpiece, but when this happened, he immediately took two steps forward, supported Cao Cao's waist with one hand, and held his wrist with the other, and continued to write......

On the surface, it is still a traitor who is splashing ink, but in fact, he has no words in his chest and weak wrists, and he has been reduced to a puppet......

Lao Ji is in the woods, aiming for thousands of miles,

In the twilight of the martyrs, the heart is strong,

The period of profit and contraction, not only in the sky,

The blessing of recuperation can be eternal,

Fortunately, even ah, the song is a song!

After finishing it in one go, Xiao Yi asked people to frame the resignation and hang it in the most conspicuous place in the lobby for the civil and military officials and the owners of the gate valve to enjoy, and immediately won a round of applause:

"The prime minister is brilliant, he is really a treasure knife!"

"The Prime Minister should be strong and strong, without losing his enterprising spirit, and he deserves to be the first hero in the world!"

…………

This poem "Turtle Although Shou", the language is clear and robust, the content is generous and passionate, and it has the meaning of adjusting the body and mind to prolong life, which is very in line with Cao Cao's literary style and the current political situation!

Therefore, people have no doubt at all, they all think that this is another masterpiece of the prime minister, which is enough to reflect before and after "Watching the Sea" and "Short Song Xing", and it has been passed down through the ages, but who can know that this is actually completed by Cao and Xiao together, and the latter is more dominant!

"The old man is in the twilight of his life, and he is full of strength - good, good, good!"

After chanting several times, Cao Cao also applauded silently, the decadent atmosphere was swept away, and the fighting spirit burned in his heart, and the gaze that looked at Xiao Yi was even softer, and there was a little gratitude!

He has fought for half his life, has the power of the world, and has countless relatives and friends, civil ministers and military generals around him, among them, the one who knows his own mind the most and cooperates with himself the most tacitly, is still this smart, filial, cute, and uneasy son-in-law!

After doing another copy, Xiao Yi blushed slightly, first helped Cao Cao to sit down, and then drank a glass of wine, covering up the shyness on his face, and secretly thinking, is he plagiarizing history, or creating history?

Next, everyone continued to push the cup and change the lamp, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax, especially some old officials, who copied "Turtle Although Shou" one after another, and went back to hang it in their own homes, which is also good for encouragement from time to time.

Xiao Yi also returned to his seat, chatting and laughing with everyone, but he thought hard in his heart, although he helped the traitor to pass the test, but Mrs. Ding was a big trouble, and it was difficult to stop the succession, but it was necessary to obstruct it, and the way was to ......

The cunning old fox can always steal chickens to eat, Xiao Yi quickly had an idea, and put it in Cao Cao's ear, muttering a few words softly, the latter nodded again and again, and his eyes became brighter.

"At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the old man should have fun with the people, so that the tiger and leopard ride are ready to patrol the whole city with the old man!"

"No!"
