Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 688 "Intimately Related Extra Story, Yin Lin, Feng Xin"

The Cao family was implicated in the "Empress Song Case"!

From Empress Dowager Deng in the period of Emperor An, to Empress Dou in the period of Emperor Huan, and to Empress Dou in the period of Emperor Ling, the relatives of the three empress dowagers all held important positions in the court and controlled the court.

Although…

These relatives attached to the queen mother did not end well in the end, but after all, they passed the glory and glory.

But...the empress of Song, who is currently the emperor, is a little ashamed to face her mothers-in-laws and great mothers-in-laws to meet under the Nine Springs!

This year, Empress Song was thoroughly investigated because of witchcraft, and the Fufeng Song family was destroyed overnight, and dozens of families including the Cao family were implicated!

Back to the source...

Empress Song was born in a noble family, but she was born at an untimely time.

The origin of all this can be traced back to the period of Emperor Huan.

Empress Song's uncle was Liu Kui, king of Bohai.

Liu Kui was falsely accused of usurping the throne because he offended Zhongchang Attendant Wang Fu...

Emperor Huan Liu Zhi was furious and took Liu Kuiji to prison...

Liu Kui naturally refused to admit the usurpation, so Wang Fu forced him to commit suicide. After that, among the eleven wives and concubines who were murdered, the queen who was the leader was the aunt of Empress Song.

Since then, Empress Song has been useless and depressed all day long.

And this year...

The scholar-bureaucrats wrote a letter requesting a thorough investigation of the case of King Bohai and the innocence of the wronged soul. Wang Fu and others were afraid that the case would be overturned, so they asked the harem Xiaohuangmen to falsely accuse Queen Song of using witchcraft.

Originally, Empress Song was not likable, so Lingdi Liu Hong immediately issued an edict to abolish Empress Song.

The empress committed a felony, and the family members naturally could not be exempted from punishment. All three clans and six relatives of the Fufeng Song family were killed. The first one was Song Qi, the younger brother of Empress Song, and Song Qi's official wife was Cao Cao's cousin.

The city gate catches fire and affects the fish in the pond...

The case of Liu Kui, the King of Bohai, led to the execution of all families, the deposed Empress Song, the murder of Cao Cao's cousin's family, and the implicated Cao family!

"Da da da…"

The sound of horseshoes resounded, and it took only five days for Cao Cao to rush home from Dunqiu. He found that the gate had been sealed. It seemed that it had been a while, and the wooden sticks were covered with dust.

Look at the plaque given by the emperor at the door - teach your children well!
This is the emperor's reward mentioned in Cao Song's family letter...

At this moment, Cao Cao frowned, and he still remembered...that was the time when he and Lu Wenran got together with "Ganchai Lihuo" when he was happy...then he had Yu'er after October pregnancy!

But this time...

Why?The good family must be broken up?

There must be a reason for the Cao family to be so involved, right?

Did he make a decision for the people and did something wrong?

The butler squatting at the door saw Cao Cao coming back, and rushed forward to hug him and cried bitterly, "My lord, you are back, the lord is almost blinded by hope."

"Where's Dad?"

"Hiding at Xiahou Miaocai's house!"

Just as the housekeeper said, Cao Song’s family of a dozen or so members were only allowed to take away their clothes for a change of clothes, and went to Xiahouyuan’s house two streets away to rest temporarily. Cao Cao followed the housekeeper to Xiahouyuan’s house, and the whole family was embarrassed when they met...

The main wife Ding Hui just bowed slightly slowly, but the concubine Liu Chun was in tears...

Others avoided, father and son sat and talked.

I haven't seen him for three years, my father Cao Song has aged a lot, and his white hair has become more gray... a few strands of hair are scattered randomly...

A cloth strip was wrapped around his head, and he was pressing his stomach with his hands. It seemed that both places were in pain.

Cao Cao never expected that his father, who was only 50 years old, would look like this when he was old.

"Three years are like the wind in May, but it has made the green wheat stalks, which were still spitting out white paste when they came to Dunqiu, ripen yellow and orange..."

Cao Song looked at his son, especially the one-inch-long beard and the portrait of an adjutant...I don't know whether to be comforted or sad...

"Father? What happened to our family?" Cao Cao asked.

With this sentence, Cao Song was already in tears, "Your cousin Cao Ying has suffered along with your brother-in-law Yinqiang Hou Song Qi. Back then... when you got married, Song Empress' younger brother Yinqiang Hou Song Qi took a fancy to you Cousin, I... I shouldn't have agreed to his marriage proposal and let your cousin's family..."

Cao Song told Cao Cao about the case of Empress Song...

Cao Cao also knew that it was the great eunuch Cao Jie's secret help, otherwise... Cao Song's family would also be implicated.

It's just...the emperor issued an edict to remove Cao Song and Cao Cao from their official positions, confiscate their family property, especially the four words "to be punished", which is fatal.

I want to take it lightly... I don't know how many dots I need!
"It's a blessing that there is Miaocai here... let us live first." Cao Cao said with emotion...

This is a fortune in misfortune.

Cao Song raised his eyes, pondered for a long time, hesitated again and again... and then asked, "I heard that you gave birth to a son in Dunqiu... Is this true?"

This…

Cao Cao didn't know where to start.

"You attacked the tyrants and squires so fiercely in Dunqiu... Once they are dismissed from office, how can those tyrants and squires let it go? You came back so quickly, and the mother and child over there have settled down?"

After all, a son's son... a grandson!

Even if the mother and child have no status, but the connection is established in this blood relationship, the Cao family's ancestors passed on "the next generation!"

This…

Originally, Cao Cao really didn't think so much, but when his father reminded him, Cao Cao immediately felt that something was wrong...

"Boy, baby came here in a hurry... I didn't... I didn't think so much."

While talking, Cao Cao got up...

He intends to go back to Dunqiu again, and the mother and child must be settled well!

"Don't go." Cao Song closed his eyes and said softly, "You are guilty of a crime. Going out of Luoyang privately is a death penalty. Besides, there is no conclusion on how the Cao family will be convicted in the end. Do you want their mother and son to be... also punished? Is it implicated?"

This…

Cao Song's words, every word deeply awakened Cao Cao.

--Older gingers are more spicy!
"...Since there was no concubine ceremony at the beginning, then..." Cao Song said softly: "Simply, don't contact me anymore, at least... If the Cao family really can't escape this catastrophe, they can still stay... leave some Hope! A tinder!"

call…

At this moment, Cao Cao exhaled heavily.

He pondered for a long time, but still nodded his head. Even though...the side of Dunqiu is also extremely dangerous, but this Luoyang City...is even more dangerous and turbulent!
No one knows what will happen to the Cao family in the end?

"Father, is it really so serious?" Cao Cao asked solemnly.

"Alas..." Cao Song sighed, "The family property has been confiscated, and we need money everywhere. Now... the situation of our Cao family..."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Cao Song's tone has already shown that he is not optimistic!

Cao Cao lowered his head slightly. "Father, don't be sad, at least... temporarily, our family has saved their lives!"

Cao Song changed the subject, "Did you bring back your salary from the past few years?"

Cao Cao was ashamed and said embarrassingly. "Father also knows that when my son gave birth to a son in Dunqiu, all the salary was spent!"

Cao Song shook his head in disappointment, "It's all spent by the people of Dunqiu County, hehe... what do you say about you, you lose money when you become an official, and when will I raise you so big? I was still counting on your salary to resist for a while, but now it’s all right, there is no hope, you are generous...don’t care about the old, don’t care about the young, the wives, concubines and sons still want me to support you..."

Cao Cao was silent...

He found that his father nagged a lot, and he was really old.

Cao Cao didn't know what to explain...

Just about to leave... to meet a concubine.

Cao Song yelled to stop him, "Ah Man, don't worry about Dunqiu. Although I can't do much for my father, I still asked someone to send some money, enough for them to live for two years..."

Cao Cao seemed to be habitually gnawing at the old man, "What about after two years?"

"Two years later?" Cao Song raised his head, "Who knows, will our Cao family last for two years?"

Speaking of here…

What flashed in Cao Song's eyes was infinite loneliness, but besides the loneliness...he seemed to be a little curious again.

"Boys and girls?"

"Boy?"

"what is it call…"

"Yu, Cao Yu..."

"Cao Yu...Cao Yu, my grandson's name is Cao Yu!"

Cao Song, who had already stopped his tears, at this moment... shed tears of "kindness" again.

Grandson Cao Yu...

He is Weng Wengde... Can I still see him in this life?

...

...

A farmer's family in Dunqiu is by no means well-to-do, but neat and tidy in its simplicity, it can be seen that life is fairly stable.

A six or seven-year-old girl leaned against the bed and looked at the stranger curiously, and another doll who was almost one year old could already crawl... Lu Wenran hugged Cao Yu and looked at him slowly.

The peasant couple saluted very politely. "At the beginning, the county magistrate Cao helped clear up the grievances in my family's case... My wife might as well hide in our house first. We have some fields... My man is physically strong, enough for the few of us to eat."

"Brother and sister-in-law, County Magistrate Cao has been removed from office, so stop being polite!" Lu Wenran hugged the child and could only give a little support.

The peasant woman stood up and looked at the child in Lu Wenran's arms, and couldn't help laughing: "This doll is so pretty, just as pretty as a girl, but much prettier than my Heidan."

Right here or...

Cao Yu burst into tears with a "wow", which made the new mother Lu Wenran feel as if she had been stabbed by a sword.

"It's okay, ma'am, it's hot...Need to feed."

"Nursing?" Lu Wenran gritted her teeth, a little shy. Before in the county government, the nurse was in charge of breastfeeding... She... She can't!

The peasant woman saw Lu Wenran's embarrassment, "Give it to me... My Hei Dan is seven months old, and he can drink noodle soup, so I will give this kid my milk. Oh, look, this little boy doesn't recognize his birth at all. How smooth it is!"

Lu Wenran breathed a sigh of relief... He unwrapped the package, and there were two pieces of gold and a few pennies inside...

This was sent by Cao Song... Lu Wenran thought it was Cao Cao's arrangement, so she accepted it.

But the rural couple was scared by the huge sum of money, "Ma'am, this... this is just a matter of a sip of milk, don't ask for so much, the county town only needs a piece of silk to hire a nannie, let alone a child of 'Mr. , but also to raise this child for Master Mu!"

"Brother, please accept it!" Lu Wenran begged, "If you don't accept it, I...I don't feel at ease!"

"Don't worry!" the farmer said: "Our folks have all been kind to the master, and no one will reveal the place of the wife and the young master. Besides, such a good official as the master, even if he goes to the capital, nothing will happen. .”

at this time…

With a "click", Lu Wenran knelt down, and the farmer was horrified, and hurriedly knelt down too... "Madam, what are you doing?"

"Brother, to be honest... I... still have something to ask my brother!"

"Master Man is our benefactor, Madam has something to do... just say it!"

"I heard... this time, the Aman's family was implicated in a case. I thought... I thought... could we let the folks write a letter to the people, and I'll go...I'll go...and hand it over to Luoyang. ...can save Ah Mo's life!"

This…

The farmer thought for a while, as if thinking of Cao Cao's kindness to him when he was in office, he immediately nodded heavily.

"Madam, don't worry, give me the Book of Ten Thousand Peoples!"

"Thank you, big brother..." Lu Wenran almost burst into tears...

She looked at the baby in the swaddle, and Lu Wenran felt...she had to do something for "Yu'er"'s father!

...

...

From the snowy winter to the autumn of the next year, the people of Dunqiu have been looking forward to the return of their "Master Man"...

Seeing that Feixue is coming again... But Magistrate Cao hasn't come back yet!

At this time, Lu Wenran personally sent a "Wan Min Acknowledgment Form" praising Cao Cao's thirty major contributions to the capital.

This is a blood book that thousands of people bit their fingers and dedicated to the emperor...

Lu Wenran sat in the car of the villagers, and it was difficult to get to Beijing in the cold winter months. It took a month to arrive in the capital.

For more than a month, she missed Dunqiu's "Yu'er" and worried about Luoyang's Cao Cao.

But in Luoyang...

Cao Mansion has long been sealed off, where is Cao Cao now?Lu Wenran didn't know...she could only kneel and kowtow at the south gate of the palace...begging the soldiers to bring out high officials...

She told the soldiers that she was from Dunqiu, and she had important public sentiments to report to His Majesty the Emperor!
At this time, Cao Jie, the Zhongchang attendant, was sitting around the stove...

Looking at the "Cao A concealing ten crimes" sent by Dunqiu Haoqiang, I muttered in my heart...the so-called people leave the tea, once Cao Cao left, those Dunqiu Haoqiang planned to punish him to death. If it is in his hands, otherwise... the management of the Cao family this year will be wasted.

At this moment, Xiao Huangmen brought Lu Wenran's letter to Cao Jie.

Open the finely woven plain silk cloth, and on a large roll of cloth, there are hundreds of bloody handprints that have already turned purple and black...

Cao Jie couldn't help feeling sick... This is the mark of tens of thousands of people biting their fingers.

be nice...

What kind of officials can make the people so reluctant?

When Cao Jie saw Cao Cao's [-] great achievements written on the cloth, and compared it with "Cao A concealed ten crimes" in his hand, his heart throbbed.

He never wanted to help Cao Song...

Without Cao Song's help from outside the court, how could Cao Jie make money?How to control the treasury…

But Cao Song didn't live up to it.

Hehe, I never thought about it, this Cao Cao is very competitive!
Lu Wenran waited outside the palace gate for a long time...

Cao Jie walked out in person, "What relationship do you have with Cao A? It's not far away for hundreds of miles, and I will present him with this love form!"

"I..." Lu Wenran was just about to answer...

Cao Jie rolled his eyes and noticed that this was a very beautiful woman, but her beauty was concealed by the dust all over her body, "I heard that Cao Aman has a son in Dunqiu County, the son's mother should Could it be you?"

This…

Lu Wenran nodded.

Cao Jie's face turned cold, "I have received the Wanmin Chengqing Form, you can go back!"

"I..." Lu Wenran murmured, "Could a girl please ask the official a word!"

"go ahead!"

"Can Ah Man go back to Dunqiu and continue to be the county magistrate?"

"Haha..." Cao Jie laughed loudly, "Cao Aman doesn't even dare to think like that now!"

After all, Cao Jie turned around...

He took two steps, but in the end... his steps stopped.

"If you really want to help Cao A hide that kid, forget about your relationship with him, and your son's relationship with him..."

"Saving him, this 'Wanmin Chengqing Form' alone is not enough. You need a lot of money. The family that can spend this money probably doesn't want you to have anything to do with Cao Cao!"

Cao Jie did not directly point out...

But he knew that the reason why this case had not been settled for a year was because of the management of the Cao family, to be precise, it was not the management of the Cao family, but the management of the Ding family!
As Cao Cao's official wife, Ding Hui did not hesitate to let her mother's family spend all their wealth in order to save the Cao family from this difficulty.

It is precisely because of this foundation that this "Wanmin Affection Form" is so precious, and even capable of turning the tide...

Lu Wenranhui has a heart-to-heart, after hearing Cao Jie's words, she immediately understood.

She recalled that Cao Cao once told her that Cao Cao's official wife Ding's family was very wealthy...a wealthy businessman!
what did she understand...

Silver teeth bit his lip...

Lu Wenran thought over and over again, and finally clenched her fists and made a decision!
Both she and her son can have no status, but as long as... as long as Cao Cao can survive this disaster, that's fine, then... that's fine!

...

...

From winter to spring, in Xiahouyuan's mansion.

Cao Song specially called Cao Cao over.

"The case is ready!"

"Has my Cao family overcame this difficulty?" Cao Cao knew his father Cao Song too well... He could see what was in his father's eyebrows.

really…

Cao Song nodded his head, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he was going to drive the horse immediately!
"Come back!" Cao Song hastily shouted to stop...

"Father...I..." Cao Cao wanted to say, he had to rush to Dunqiu County, where there was still a mother and child who needed to be taken care of by him!

"Don't go to Dunqiu!" Cao Song said firmly...

"Why?"

"Do you still have a conscience?" Cao Song pointed at Cao Cao's heart and said angrily, "Ding Hui, your official wife, has been running around for the Cao family's affairs for a year, and she didn't hesitate to spend all the wealth of her mother's family. Can't you see that? ?”

"Our Cao family was saved by the Ding family. Now you go to Dunqiu to bring back a woman and an illegitimate child? What's going on? Are you deliberately humiliating your wife?"

"I..." Cao Cao gritted his teeth...it was the first time he faced such a choice.

"Stay at home honestly!" Cao Song said, "The case is just beginning to come to fruition... If you leave at this time, you may lose your success! There are so many people in the Cao family and so many lives, you can't just take care of yourself!"

"I…"

Cao Cao hesitated to speak, he wanted to say too much.

But in the end...thousands of words have converged into a big word "啊"!

What evil did Cao Cao do!

...

...

In Dunqiu County, since Cao Cao, the Order of Dunqiu, left...

The tyranny of Dunqiu really started the most ferocious revenge.

The school and orphanage that Cao Cao took three years to build were abandoned, the school was forced to close, the students returned home to work in agriculture, and the land that had been measured and redistributed had to be measured again...

There are powerful thugs everywhere, and the cries of the poor are everywhere.

finally…

A rebellion has broken out here!
The instigator of the rebellion was a poor man who had his fields taken away again. He gathered a large number of poor people... together with the nearby bandits, they ransacked the entire Dunqiu.

They originally only wanted to loot those powerful...

But as soon as the bandits entered the county, it didn't matter whether they were strong or not... In an instant, the sky was filled with blood, dyeing red the most comfortable small county in Puyang County.

Countless bandits rushed into the county like a tide, shouts of killing and screams were intertwined, and the battle was extremely intense.

And the flames of war also reached the farmyard where Lu Wenran lived.

Farmer Ben took his two children to play in the village, but was wiped off his neck by bandits...

The bandit walked further towards the farmhouse...

At this juncture...

Lu Wenran handed "Yu'er" to the peasant woman, and she ran to the field alone.

Her running caught the attention of the bandits, and more than a dozen bandits chased after her.

And the peasant woman hugged the one-year-old Cao Yu... ran to the official road, she was going to ask for help...

finally…

On the official road, I met a carriage... There was a guard beside the carriage, as if he was a person of high status.

When she ran here, the peasant woman was exhausted and died in front of the carriage...

The curtain in the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man pulled a five-year-old girl out of it.

But who else could it be if it wasn't Cai Yong and Cai Zhaoji?
At this time, Cai Yong was already Yilang...

This trip was originally to visit my uncle Cai Zhi...I never thought that I would be robbed by bandits in Dunqiu.

Seeing the peasant woman exhausted... the girl was startled.

The middle-aged man also sighed helplessly, he had seen this kind of thing too many times.

But fortunately, they have soldiers by their side, so they will be safer. Bandits are often unwilling to fight head-on with officers and soldiers... Even if they win, there will be endless troubles!

"Daddy, this baby is still alive!"

Cai Zhaoji saw "Cao Yu"...

The big eyes blinked and blinked extremely agilely, as if the fighting outside didn't make him flustered... Even crying for a while, he seemed to be full of curiosity about the whole outside world.

"Father, let's...save him!" Cai Zhaoji blinked her big eyes and looked up at her father...

At this time, some officers and soldiers hugged "Cao Yu" to Cai Yong, and Cai Yong took it...

This child is extremely lovable, with big eyes blinking non-stop, as if he could talk.

Cai Yong noticed that he was wearing a "auspicious" jade pendant around his neck, and there was a small wooden plaque on his body, with his name and birth date written on it.

Cai Yong brought the wooden sign closer...

"Lu Yu, Lu Yu..."

He read the name on the wooden sign...

That's right, on the wooden sign... Lu Wenran wrote "Lu Yu". After returning from Luoyang, she decided to forget Cao Cao...and let the child forget his father.

It's good for each other...

"Take this child away, it happens that Zhao Ji only has a younger sister but no younger brother, so let Lu Yu be your younger brother!" Cai Yong said...

"Thank you, father!" Cai Zhaoji hurriedly thanked her father, and carried Cao Yu into the carriage together with the guards.

Cai Yong stroked his beard, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. After the rebellion subsides, send someone to inquire and see if Lu Yu has any family members alive!"

A word falls...

Cai Yong's carriage continued to drive on the official road.

He mourned these rebellions, but...but he was helpless.

only…

Lu Wenran was finally caught, and faced with the persecution of the bandits.

"Yu'er, mother... mother has gone."

"In the future, you can only...you can only walk by yourself."

The bandit let out wild laughter...

Lu Wenran chose to bump his head against the wall.

For a moment, blood and blood...

——She lives innocently...

——Even if he died, he was innocent!
...

...

half year later.

Cao Cao rode a fast horse and appeared in Dunqiu County. When the rebellion subsided, and when he learned of everything that happened here...he rushed over immediately.

But when it was learned that... no villagers survived the rebellion.

"what…"

"Ah...ah..."

Cao Cao roared hoarsely.

He stood in front of the Dunhill County Sheriff's Office.

Looking at this familiar door, looking at that... the delivery room that made him unforgettable, he uttered a roar from the deepest part of his heart.

The smell on Yu'er's body... he seems to be able to smell it!

He still remembers the feeling of touching Yu when he was a child.

And... and Lu Wenran...

He He…

--"what…"

--"what…"

He Cao Cao... failed Lu Wenran, he... he failed his eldest son—Cao Yu!
"I, Cao Aman, am... just a jerk!"

"I, Cao Aman, am just... an asshole!"

After a moment of preparation, Cao Cao's heart has been deeply sealed...

From now on, a woman is no longer a symbol of "love", but only a tool...a tool that can be used to achieve goals!
It has become a kind of vanity to show power and status!

Love... the word has been completely sealed from this moment!

——Cao Cao, seal your heart!

...

...

A year later, Cai Yong and Cao Song sat and stood separately in the study of the Cao Mansion.

"Meng De has been Yilang for half a year, but he always seems to be absent-minded."

Cai Yong opened his mouth and said...

He is Yilang, and now Cao Cao is the servant, under Cai Yong.

Cai Yong naturally saw that Cao Cao was absent-minded.

"This..." Cao Song hesitated to speak.

"Empress Song's case is over." Cai Yong said, "The Cao family can escape unscathed, it should be gratifying..."

Cao Song nodded slowly. "Cai Shilang, give Meng De some time, time always heals everything."

Cai Yong realized something and nodded, "It looks like Yilang is emotionally hurt!"

Simply, Cai Yong didn't bring up this topic anymore, and he exchanged a few more pleasantries...and left Cao's mansion.

After returning to Caifu...

Cai Zhaoji happily ran to Cai Yong.

"Daddy, Daddy... guess what happened?"

"how?"

"Then Lu Yu recited poetry!" Cai Zhaoji danced excitedly.

"What poem?" Cai Yong asked back.

Cai Zhaoji learned: "It seems to be...two orioles singing in the green willows, and a group of egrets in the blue sky..."

Well…

Cai Yong was taken aback, don't say it... This battle is neat and neat, and there is a special artistic conception.

It's not reciting poetry...but composing poetry?

and many more…

Cai Yong suddenly realized, "He is only two years old, he wrote this poem?"

"What else?" Cai Zhaoji hurriedly said, "Yesterday, when I was watching the big geese in the lake, did you recite a song?"

"tell me the story…"

"Goose, goose, goose...the song Xiangxiang Tiange...the white hair floats in the green water, the red palm touches the clear waves..." Cai Zhaoji couldn't tell how excited she was.

Cai Yong's eyes are straight...

He felt overwhelmed, overwhelmed by a two-year-old.

What's the situation?
Can a two-year-old be able to write such an artistic poem?
This is... a child prodigy!
