Chapter 14 The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the king
Now that he understands that the Chen Palace in front of him is testing himself, how to reply next, of course Cao Cao understands, glanced at Chen Gong, and said: "But even if you go to my mansion to ask for an official today, I still say the same thing, today's traitorous ministers are in charge, and the Beijing officials don't do it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao obviously noticed the appreciative gaze that flashed in Chen Gong's eyes, but on the surface, Chen Gong snorted angrily: "I'm not angry with these words you said, I'm angry at you because you don't even see me in person, Cao Apu, Cao Apu, you have always been arrogant, arrogant, and despise the world." ”
Although Chen Gong said more and more excessively, but Cao Cao was not disturbed by it, if the first step of questioning is to figure out his position, then this second step, Cao Cao thinks that it is a test of his mind, after all, such a experience, Cao Cao, who has the memory of later generations, has seen too much.
It's really more popular than people, when I think of other traversers, come to the Three Kingdoms and casually write a poem, I was shocked as a celestial, famous, sung all over the world, and then there are groups of beauties and are all actively sent to the door, and even a lot of dowry, the famous Wenchen generals are crying and shouting to vote, in comparison with himself, Cao Cao felt very depressed.
However, depressed and depressed, Cao Cao's face was free and easy with a smile and some sarcasm: "The prisoner under the stairs dare not talk about the world in the county order." ”
& Yes! ”
Chen Gong snorted violently, pointed at Cao Cao and said, "I don't care about talking about the world with you, a prisoner!" ”
Shaking his sleeves, he turned around and walked back to Chen Gong, who was sitting above, and said: "Talking about the world with you, I might as well fight my crickets, but today I want to talk to you about firewood, rice, oil and salt, take down your Cao Cao's head, and reward five hundred gold, do you hear clearly, five hundred gold, worth 150,000 stone valleys, equivalent to a county order for me, one hundred and eighty-eight years of official salaries in one hundred and eighty-seven years, equivalent to Zhongmu County, the rations of the people of the county for more than half a year!" ”
Speaking of the back, Chen Gong, who was a little excited, pointed at the sky with his right hand, withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "It can be said that I arrested you, from now on, my Chen Gong is going to be a mountain of gold, I really don't understand, Cao Cao, you even weigh more than 100 catties of belt meat, how can it be worth 500 gold?" Is the person who offered the reward blind? ”
Cao Cao understood for the first time what it means to scold without swearing, Chen Gong's previous words are compared with the present, it is simply weak, if it was originally full of blood, and there was no Cao Cao who was in the city as after that, in the face of Chen Gong's repeated guns and sticks, he would definitely be furious, even if Cao Cao came from later generations, he couldn't help it, after all, Chen Gong's words were too damaged, and it was completely to evaluate him Cao Cao as a commodity.
It's just that just when Cao Cao was about to give up, no longer endure it, and no matter what test it was, the encounter in Xiangguo's mansion flashed quickly in his mind like a fast forward.
The weak and humiliating pictures made Cao Cao finally choose to be patient for the time being, but even so, he was already a little impatient, and he was ready to say simply: "Okay, don't be verbose, although take Cao's head to Dong Thief to receive the reward, I only have one request, that is, give me a quick knife, so as not to offend my grandfather!" ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Chen Gong, who had started it, suddenly sighed, stood up and slowly walked towards Cao Cao and said: "Okay, yes, yes, yes, death is dying, and there is quite a heroic atmosphere, don't worry, I will prepare a jar early tomorrow morning, put your head on it, and go to Beijing, oh, by the way, and the person next to you who dares to insult Xiangguo." ”
&What's the matter, does Chen Gong really want to kill me? Forget it, whether it's or not, just read it and you'll know, if it's true, then kill him first, Chen Gong, if you can't use it for me, then there is no need to live anymore, and after killing him, let Dian Wei rush out with him! ”
Cao Cao, who was a little confused, finally settled on this idea, and in his lowered gaze, a killing intent quickly flashed, but soon, Cao Cao was stunned.
>> Tonight, you're still the guests of the official, you're coming! ”
After the ordinary Xiliang soldiers came to Cao Cao and Dian Wei, Chen Gong continued: "Let them taste the power of the Zhongmu County Prison, the prison is waiting!" ”
Cao Cao, who was taken away, did not have any intention of resisting, of course, it was not that Cao Cao suddenly couldn't think about it, but he had just clearly seen Chen Gong quietly glancing at him.
&Go! ”
Cao Cao and Dian Wei were each pushed into the adjacent prison by the Xiliang soldiers behind them, and after the Xiliang soldiers left, Dian Wei grabbed the wooden fence and asked, "My lord, why didn't you just let me rush out with you, and why did you stop me from killing the bullshit county order that insulted you?" ”
& Wei Xiao'an is not impatient, and he will not let you kill him, because this person will be of great use to me in the future, not to mention that I have Dian Wei you, so what are you afraid of? ”
After Cao Cao responded with a smile, he ignored Dian Wei's expression of touching his head with some embarrassment, sat on the ground paved with weeds, and thought secretly: "Chen Gong will give me a look just now, so if you guess correctly or if there is any accident, Chen Gong should come back tonight, if you work hard, then Chen Gong's abandonment of the official is also very likely to happen, it seems that you have to think about what to say." ”
Time passed slowly in the boredom of Dian Wei and Cao Cao's dark contemplation, and in the blink of an eye, night came, and the sound of crickets outside came into the prison of Zhongmu County.
& man, give me something to eat, I'm dying of hunger. ”
& people, let me go, I'm not guilty. ”
The sudden sound of the criminal's voice in the prison and the sound of unlocking made Cao Cao raise his head and look at Chen Gong, who had lowered his body slightly and entered.
Looking at Cao Cao, who didn't say a word, Chen Gong smiled slightly, came to him and said, "Cao Cao, as far as I know, Dong Zhuo is not thin on you, it can be said that he trusts him a lot, why did you assassinate him?" ”
In the troubled times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, calling Dong Zhuo's name is no different from calling the emperor's name, and he will definitely be beheaded.
Therefore, when he heard Chen Gong call Dong Zhuo's name, Cao Cao's heart moved, and Cao Cao had thought about what his mood would be like at this time, whether it was excitement or something else, but he didn't expect that it was very indifferent, as if it was a matter of course.
Looking at Chen Gong, who was looking at him with incomprehension, Cao Cao said lightly: "The bird's ambition is clear." ”
& This finch really wants to know your ambitions. ”
Looking at Chen Gong, who was staring at him with a stern face, Cao Cao opened his mouth to say that he had thought about the draft he had typed in his heart for an afternoon.
