Chapter 487
The ordinary gathering soon turned into a condemnation meeting for the Cao family father and son.
Everyone spoke with each other, using the alcohol to vent their hatred and dissatisfaction towards the Cao family father and son.
The fact that kneeling down in the morning is a hot topic they are talking about.
Since ancient times, punishment has not been given to officials, and etiquette has not been given to common people.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have never suffered such great humiliation.
Therefore, when it comes to this matter, everyone is angry and indignant, and they want to chop the Cao family and his son into meat paste with a kitchen knife.
This scene is very similar to the scene where Situ Wang Yun secretly entertained all officials in the mansion ten years ago.
That year, Dong Zhuo was in power, and it happened to Wang Yun’s 60th birthday. Wang Yun used the name of worshipping the birthday and invited the officials he had known to come to the mansion, which was called worshiping the birthday, but in fact he scolded the thief.
On the night of the birthday celebration, Cao Cao came uninvited.
Wang Yun thought he was humble from a humble background and had a low official position. He felt that Cao Cao was not worthy of the same seat with them, but the visitors were guests after all, so it was inconvenient to drive them away. He had to set up a few small pieces and a small cup at the last seat, so that Cao Cao could sit in the seat.
During the meal, Wang Yun took the lead and told Dong Zhuo's evil deeds. The guests agreed. When they talked about their emotions, the guests all burst into tears.
Only Cao Cao laughed wildly, and after laughing, he cursed: "All real men are like daughters. Even if you cry from dark to dawn, can you make Dong Thief die of suffering?"
Then he was forked out by the servants of the royal palace.
Afterwards, Cao Cao assassinated Dong alone. After the defeat, he fled with a seven-star sword and called on the princes to enter the capital to serve the king.
What made Cao Cao feel bad was that he met a bad guy like him when he swore an oath to the presidency before Hulao Pass.
The leader Yuan Shao also looked down on the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang who arrived at the last time and were ordered to fight against the thief, so he asked Liu Bei to move a horse stool and sit at the end of the team.
Such treatment is very similar to his experience at Wang Yun’s mansion.
Now ten years have passed, the person who weaving mats and shoes that the princes of Dong and who were calling him turned into the Yangzhou governor and Kuaiji Marquis with hundreds of thousands of troops.
Cao Mengde, the hero who assassinated Dong thief, also became a traitor like Dong Zhuo, but Dong Cheng and others replaced Wang Yun and became loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who were all daughters.
However, this time, there was no hero who was willing to speak out for justice and assassinate the thief alone, and the loyal ministers could only cry, swear, and condemn them by drinking.
However, it seems that it is useless. Wang Yun can't cry Dong Zhuo to death, and they can't cry to death.
The banquet lasted for more than an hour, and after drinking enough wine and eating enough food, the resentment from the morning court was vented. Everyone stood up and said goodbye and went back to their own houses.
Dong Cheng sent them out, and everyone left one after another, but Chen Ji was reluctant to get on the car.
Could it be that the Great Honglu has something to discuss with him?
Could it be that he... Dong Cheng's heart moved and he was about to ask.
Chen Ji answered first: "The dog has not returned yet after entering the toilet. I wait for him. The uncle doesn't have to accompany him, please go back."
Dong Cheng: "..." He became so passionate.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Chen Qun came out of the mansion, saluted Dong Cheng and helped Chen Ji into the car.
Looking at the carriage leaving, Dong Cheng's eyes showed no disguised disappointment.
Halfway through the way, Chen Qun stuck his head out the window, looked back and forth and confirmed that there was no one, and said, "Dad, as expected, several people appeared around the hall during the banquet, and they were sneakily looking like spies. As soon as the banquet ended, one of them climbed over the wall and left, and their whereabouts were unknown."
Chen Qun did not attend the banquet, but hid in the bushes around the hall, wanting to see if anyone eavesdropped on the conversation at the banquet.
The result is certain, not only there are, but more than one.
Chen Ji punched the car wall and cursed: "Damn Jinyiwei, you are so omnipresent. This is true for the Dong family, let alone our Chen family, the servants and maids, I wonder how many people receive the salary of Jinyiwei?"
Chen Qun said in confusion: "Father, even though you know that there are spies from all families, why do you still want to invite everyone to visit Dong's house?"
Chen Ji said: "Xu Du is calm on the surface now, but undercurrents are surging below. The voices of anti-Cao have not calmed down for several years. We know this, and Cao Cao also knows it, so he asked the Jinyiwei from Cao Ang."
"Originally, although the voices against Cao existed, they fought each other and did not threaten much. But the performance of the emperor this morning was uneasy."
"The emperor is no longer willing to be a puppet. He wants to seize power, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for many people."
Chen Qun thoughtfully and asked, "Did my father gather all the officials together?" "No..." Chen Ji shook his head and said, "I just blew the wind in advance to make the fire burn faster and stronger. My father will not participate in the subsequent events, so you should not have any interaction with this group of people."
Chen Qun doesn't quite understand.
Chen Ji had to patiently explain: "The city of Xudu is full of hawks and dogs. The emperor has no generals or soldiers. Only unsuccessful officials such as Dong Cheng and Wu Shuo have no success. What are these people fighting against the Cao family's father and son?"
"They are destined to become victims of the emperor and Cao thief. Since they are victims, what's the difference between dying early and late?"
"After their death, even if the forces against Cao are not completely wiped out, they will be damaged. If the enemy fails, won't Cao Cao's vigilance be relaxed? Only when tigers are sleeping can the wolf find an opportunity to start, do you understand?"
"I understand, thank you for your advice."
Chen Qun said: "Since that's the case, we might as well start preparing now."
"Young people should not be so slutty."
Chen Ji said: "Now there are spies everywhere in the Jinyiwei. Our Chen family is the key target of this group of hawks and dogs. Every move is under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei. Now you are ready, do you think you are not dying fast enough?"
"The only thing we can do now is to wait and see what changes will happen, and work hard to live up to heaven, sleep on firewood and taste gall, and three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu."
"I have to say that although Cao Ang is not in tune with the rules, what he said is quite reasonable."
"But..." Chen Qun asked, "What if one day wins?"
Although this possibility is small, it is not without it.
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Tonight, these people gathered for their father. If the emperor wins, no one can erase the merits advocated by his father."
"The fisherman will benefit from the fight between cranes and clams. No matter who wins between the emperor and the Cao thief, it will not be a loss to us. By the way, I have been scolding the Cao family father and son in public recently."
"Uh..." Chen Qun was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"
Chen Ji explained: "The dog that bites people does not bark, and the person who speaks fiercely is not cruel. I have suffered such a great humiliation in the court today. If I don't say a word, the father and son of the Cao family should be worried."
"On the contrary, if we talk to everyone and complain everywhere, the father and son will feel that we are not scheming and needless to worry about. This is human nature."
"But don't scold me too hard. That guy Cao Ang is crazy. Who knows what he will do."
"yes."
When Chen Qun was taught and looked at his father, his eyes were full of admiration.
There is an old man in the family like a treasure.
Chen Ji even reached the state of being a thief without dying. He lived too long and experienced too much, and the human relationships and worldly affairs had long been understood.
The carriage continued to move forward, and Chen Ji closed his eyes and rested and stopped talking.
Chen Qun was also trying his best to digest the information just now.
