566 The foundation of the nation
On the way back, Wang Baoyu learned a lesson, and did not choose to go straight through the prairie, but first went east into the Han gathering place, and then went south, although the road was a little farther, but it could ensure a safe journey.
As when they came, when they heard the arrival of the Wang Inspector, the counties opened their gates one after another, greeted them from afar, and entertained them with hospitality, and the road was calm, and after nearly a month, the group finally returned to Xudu.
Cao Cao heard the news, Wang Baoyu did not disgrace his mission, and really took Cai Wenji back, laughed happily and stroked his palms, dressed in brocade clothes and jade robes, and immediately led a group of civil and military personnel out of the city to greet him in person, which was enough to give Wang Baoyu face.
Cai Wenji stood behind Wang Baoyu, slim, neither humble nor arrogant, if it weren't for the occasional blinking of her eyes, it would be more like a beauty sculpture.
When everyone walked in and saw the exotic Cai Wenji's face, they couldn't help but look in a daze and secretly admire, what a beauty! Time flies, the white horse flies, Cai Wenji grows more and more beautiful, and her face does not decline at all.
Cao Cao took a step forward, looked at Cai Wenji, but took Wang Baoyu's hand, and said sensationally: "Baoyu, I haven't seen you for many days, and I am very concerned." ”
"Lao Cao, we don't have to play false, I'll take Wen Ji back!"
"Baoyu is hard, and there must be all kinds of twists and turns."
"Of course, I also built a priceless baby, and now I think about it." Wang Baoyu hinted.
"I don't believe it, you still have such a treasure?" Cao Cao said deliberately, meaning that you opened your package in front of me, but I didn't see any rare treasures inside.
"Don't believe me, you ask Wen Ji! My baby was sewn into the clothes, carried with me, and when it came out, Liu Bao's eyes lit up! Hey, for the sake of the prime minister's entrustment, I reluctantly cut my love. Wang Baoyu spread his hands and said.
"So I believe you, but there are other treasures that you might as well take them and see them?" Cao Cao continued to joke.
"Forget it, when I didn't say it."
"If you are scarce of such items, there are many in the palace, and you can take them as you like." Cao Cao said.
"Lao Cao, you can't calculate me like this, don't treat me as a country man who doesn't understand anything. Things in the palace are not to be touched. Wang Baoyu said.
"It's good to know, you take Wen Ji back, a great achievement, and you will be rewarded alone. Speaking of which, Wen Ji is a priceless treasure! Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao finally got to the point, and walked towards Cai Wenji again, trying his best to fill his eyes with love, and arched his hand: "Wenji, Lone finally looks forward to you back." ”
"Wen Ji was very frightened when she was concerned by the prime minister." Cai Wenji said.
"Just go home, you can rest assured, Lonely will make proper arrangements for you." Cao Cao said solemnly.
"Wen Ji is grateful."
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and still took the same car with Wang Baoyu and entered Xu Du. Along the way, Cao Cao asked a lot about the situation of King Zuoxian, Wang Baoyu is not the kind of person who likes to play with right and wrong, and did not say bad things about King Zuoxian, the local customs have spoken a lot, when Cao Cao heard that King Zuo Xian arranged two little daughters-in-law for Wang Baoyu, tears of laughter came out.
When Cao Cao saw the appearance of the two inconspicuous red-faced and sturdy little daughters-in-law in the crowd, he laughed even more colic and praised repeatedly: "Baoyu, what a blessing!" Ha ha! ”
"Lao Cao, don't patronize and hurt people! Wen Ji and I took all the trouble to bring you back, how are you going to place her? Wang Baoyu asked.
"Let her live in Yiling Mansion first, and the rest of the things will be discussed later." Cao Cao said.
"Yiling? For Mao?! ”
"Don't worry, I'll pay for everything."
"It's not about money at all, absolutely not!" Wang Baoyu waved his hand again and again and said, "It's too inconvenient for Wen Ji to go to me. ”
"Hehe, could it be that you have a bad idea of Wen Ji?"
"Damn, I'm a wasted person, and I'm powerless!" Wang Baoyu said rudely.
"Because of this, Lone is relieved!" Cao Cao laughed: "Baoyu is open-minded, I trust the most!" ”
"Alas, let me tell you the truth, the night before leaving, the third prince went, and you must know his thoughts. If Wen Ji is where I am, I'm afraid that he will think too much, so why bother. Wang Baoyu said.
"I already know about this matter, and you can rest assured, I will issue a decree, and no one is allowed to approach Wen Ji without my order." Cao Cao said domineeringly.
Wang Baoyu saw that Cao Cao's attitude was so resolute, and he could only do this, and he roughly understood in his heart that Cao Cao must have another purpose in arranging Cai Wenji with him.
Cao Cao asked Cai Wenji, Dayun Xiaoyun and others to escort back to Yiling Mansion, and pulled Wang Baoyu into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao finally couldn't help but speak: "Baoyu, my son Jian has always had affection for Wen Ji, along the way, you have had a lot of communication with Wen Ji, can you find out what Wen Ji means?" ”
Sure enough, this is the case, Wang Baoyu frowned slightly, and said: "Lao Cao, I mentioned this matter to Wen Ji, Wen Ji admires the talent of the third son, but thinks that the age difference is too big, which insults the reputation of the third son." ”
"This is a bad statement, and the love is agreeable, how can it be aged? Wen Ji is dignified and quiet, and she can persuade Zijian to have an uninhibited temperament. ”
is really going to plan, Wang Baoyu said bluntly: "The twisted melon is not sweet, Wen Ji disagrees, and the two of them have to fight often when they marry in the past, so forget it!" ”
Cao Cao looked unhappy and said, "Baoyu, you have an idea for me, how to place Wen Ji?" Even if you don't marry Zhi'er, it's hard to guarantee that others won't come to propose. ”
This is indeed a problem, there should be many people who covet Cai Wenji, rejected Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, and maybe other generals, Wang Baoyu was reluctant to let Cai Wenji marry casually.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Baoyu had an idea and asked Cao Cao: "Old Cao, what do you say is the most important thing to govern the country?" ”
"The rule of law comes first." Cao Cao said without hesitation.
"I disagree with you, the rule of law is a weapon, and to stabilize people's hearts and make the country truly strong, the foundation of the country depends on culture." Wang Baoyu said.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, patted his thigh and said, "What Baoyu said is reasonable!" ”
"Years of war, today's cultural loss is very strict, I have a book in Cai Wenji's head, it is a library, it is better to let her write down the books she remembers, in this way, it is beneficial to the country and the people, Lao Cao, you must also be famous for eternity because of this matter." Wang Baoyu said.
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then slapped his face and laughed: "Baoyu knows my heart very well, so let Wen Ji do this first, and put aside the personal feelings of her children for the time being." ”
"The prime minister is wise." Wang Baoyu sighed, a stone in his heart was put down temporarily, writing a book is not a matter of a day or two, so that at least for a few years, Cai Wenji should not be harassed again.
