Three Kingdoms: I taught Cao Cao to be an able minister and to create and rule the world

January 184.

Cao Cao, who had reached the rank of Yilang, stood in front of the palace gate with a disappointed look on his face.

Suggestions on lowering taxes on the common people failed again.

The bamboo slip in his hand fell to the ground and hit the stone floor. There was a crash and the bamboo pieces scattered in all directions.

Full of official script handwriting, those are the suggestions for governing the country that he painstakingly wrote out after staying up late at night.

"Why?"

Looking at the vermilion-colored door, Cao Cao felt very disappointed.

"Thinking of me, Cao Mengde, who performed 20 acts of filial piety and integrity, ten years passed in the blink of an eye"

"Now he is thirty, but where will the day of establishment be?"

"No time in sight!"

Starting from the time when he was the Northern Command of Luoyang and killed Jian Shuo's uncle with a stick.

Various images of his political career kept popping up in his mind. He handled cases abiding by the law, but was promoted openly and secretly.

Various suggestions were made, but there was no disturbance.

Cao Cao My heart felt sour and unbearable.

Creak!

The heavy palace door slowly closed with the efforts of several forbidden soldiers. The wide palace road narrowed in the narrowed door gap until it disappeared.

Bang!

The palace door was closed tightly.

That dull The voice seemed to cut off people's hopes at the root.

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed:"My heart is as high as the sky, but my ambition is hard to realize."……"

"When will my childhood dream of conquering the generals of the West come true?"

"There is no way to serve the country……"

Sighs and sadness.

It's overwhelming in his heart

"Meng Desiu wants to say more!"

Two figures came forward in a hurry, and one of them shouted to stop.

Cao Cao turned around and saw that it was the two sons of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao walked closer, and whispered in a low voice:

"Meng De, don’t talk nonsense!"

He looked around and saw the ministers chatting in small groups.

"There are many people here."

Yuan Shao lowered his voice and was very cautious,"If my words are used by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid that my position as Yi Lang will not be guaranteed. Yuan

Shu said with a frivolous smile:"Even if Uncle Cao is the captain of Sili School, he can't protect you, a prodigal son!""

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Helplessness swept through his heart again, and he was extremely depressed.

Yuan Shao saw this and grabbed the other person's arm forcefully,"Let's go!"

"I'm going to a restaurant to drink."

"Then go to the Flower and Bird Pavilion to find an oiran to relieve your depression."

Cao Cao couldn't resist the tall Yuan Shao, so he could only be dragged away by him.

In the restaurant compartment, he drank several glasses of wine in a row, and his face gradually turned red.

The food had just tasted three times, and the wine had already finished five rounds.

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao who drank continuously and persuaded. :

"Meng De, you and I have grown up together, and I would like to advise you as a brother."

"Don't be so impulsive"

"How can it be passed if it is a gift to the people but at the expense of the state treasury?"

Looking at Cao Cao who was about to retort, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt.

"I know what you mean"

"Although you have a good heart, you can't do things like this"

"Especially in the imperial court"

"Move one hair and move the whole body"

"Don’t put personal emotions first"

"Want to do things for the people, but can't do it."

Yuan Shu filled the wine cup and said lightly:"If you ask me, Meng De, you are an idiot."

"Don’t you know that trying to attract people’s money is tantamount to killing their parents?"

Lifting up the wine cup and taking a sip, he continued:"How many people in the world live under the protection of the imperial court?"

"How can you lower taxes just because of your words?"

"unrealistic!"

"Besides, how can the Holy One listen to the harsh words of your document?"

Yuan Shu, who was playing with the wine cup in his hand, looked very disdainful.

Bang!

Cao Cao slammed the table and stood up.

"Good medicine tastes bitter, unpalatable advice help line!"

He said loudly with his eyes wide open.

"We must be loyal to the emperor if we want to live in Han Dynasty!"

"If the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are indifferent to the chaos in the world, how can the court continue?"

"When the country collapses, are there any intact eggs under the overturned nest?!"

Continuous questioning echoed in the room, and Cao Cao's eyes were extremely sharp.

Yuan Shu waved his hands impatiently,"We don't agree with each other, and talking more is useless."

Don't turn your head and just drink and eat. Say nothing.

Yuan Shao stood up and pushed Cao Cao back to his seat. He then knelt down and sat aside. Just as he was about to speak to persuade, there was a knock on the door.

Yuan Shao sat upright. He spoke loudly:"Come in!"

The Cao family's entourage opened the door and entered, bowed and bowed, and then reported:"Master, there are items sent from Chen Liu's office."

The attendant took out a wooden box, and the exquisite carvings immediately attracted people's attention.

"How exquisite is the carving! Yuan Shu sighed in admiration.

Cao Cao did not pick it up, but frowned and asked in a deep voice:"Who sent it?""

The attendant replied:"The master's younger brother, Cao Bin"

"oh?"Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and a tall figure appeared in his mind.

That was his favorite brother who he had grown up watching.

"Your brother who has nothing but good looks? Yuan Shu joked

"I actually want to give you a gift, let me take a look first."

When he got up, he reached for the wooden box, but Yuan Shao snatched it away.

Putting it into Cao Cao's hand, Yuan Shao said:"Such a delicate wooden box, please open it quickly to find out."

Cao Cao was also curious and gently opened the lock of the wooden box. After opening it, he saw three lying kits.

"Well! Yuan Shu, who was crowding aside, praised:"Your brother is very thoughtful. It's very unique.""

Yuan Shao was silent. He had seen countless treasures, but he was impressed by the three well-made brocade bags in the wooden box.

Cao Cao looked at the three brocade bags and saw different numbers of horizontal strokes written on them.

One stroke, two strokes. pen, three pens

"Is this what...one-twenty-three means?

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement with his guess,"It should be.""

Cao Cao picked up the first one, opened it, and took out the small white scroll inside.

"This is... paper?!"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu exclaimed at the same time.

Even though they are the legitimate sons of the fourth generation and third master of the Yuan family, they have never seen such snow-white paper.

"Such paper should be more expensive than gold!"

Yuan Shao admired sincerely.

His eyes were fixed on the paper roll that Cao Cao carefully opened,"How can there be such exquisite paper in the world!"

"This paper is a treasure!"Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands, wishing he could snatch the paper and keep it for himself.

Cao Cao slowly opened it in surprise, and the first thing he saw was three big characters and a row of small characters.

Different from the official script they commonly used, the handwriting was smooth and smooth. The handwriting is smart and thin yet vigorous.

Yuan Shao's eyes brightened,"This character is extremely thin without losing its flesh. It also shows outstanding grace and grace. Good calligraphy!" What a good word!"

"You are lucky to see this word in your life!"

"Cao Bin's words will surely be praised by Confucian scholars all over the world!"

Yuan Shu rarely nodded in sincere agreement,"Really good calligraphy, absolutely rare!"

He clenched his fists and suppressed the desire to take possession.

It was as if there were ten thousand ants crawling and wreaking havoc in his heart, making him scratch his head and ears.

"Comment on the first day of the month?"Cao Cao paid more attention to the meaning of the words contained in the font.

There was a line of small words below the three big words: words are spoken softly when a person is insignificant, suggestions are not accepted.

Cao Cao read out in a low voice, and his frown became even tighter.
