Chapter 2657: Higher and lower

Is Kong Rong's affairs still so troublesome?
Cao Pi was a little stunned.
Cao Pi thought before that he was just a poor person?
Even this poor surname Kong.
'Private affairs... sometimes more important than official business...' Mrs. Bian's face was calm, but her tone was very serious, and she said in a deep voice, 'Something seems to be outside recently... have you paid attention to it?'
"Ah? This... the child didn't pay attention..." Cao Pi said. He really didn't expect so much, but looking at Mrs. Bian's face, Cao Pi realized that this matter seemed serious.
So just now, Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Cao Pi's answer to life, which was naturally reasonable.
What exactly is the problem?
Mrs. Bian frowned and looked at Cao Pi very seriously, "both public and private are important! Do you know?! Be more attentive!"
Cao Pi trembled for a moment and said with a forced smile, "Mom, it won't be..."
Cao Pi understood that although Mrs. Bian did not scold her loudly, this was a warning.
Mrs. Bian's eyes were firmly staring at Cao Pi, "Be more concerned about public and private matters! Do you understand? Do you want me to say it again?"
This is the second time to emphasize it.
"Ming... I understand..." Cao Pi said it and understood, but he knew in his heart that he must have not understood what he was.
"So what your brother said about Kong Wenju, are you right?" Mrs. Bian said softly, "Especially Chong'er, who is so young, is so smart... Alas, you have to be careful, think about it carefully and use more snacks... Remember this matter can only be considered in your heart and must not be publicized!"
Mrs. Bian's voice was very light, but her face was heavy.
Cao Pi nodded with a stern voice.
Mrs. Bian looked at Cao Pi, nodded and left.
Cao Pi first gave it to his mother, then turned back, sat alone in the small study, frowned...
After thinking for a while, Cao Pi's face gradually became solemn.
There are some things that can be done on the scene, or they can be done, and there are some things that cannot be said or done, and they can't even be done if they discover it.
Cao Cao was the prime minister, so at least the scene was for the Han Dynasty and the country.
Cao Pi is the second generation of the Cao family, so some things must of course be in line with the style of the second generation of the Cao family...
etc.
Cao Pi seemed to think of something, and his brows became more and more tight.
His mother rarely says such things so seriously, and once she says it, it means that things are very important.
Seriously, it doesn't mean you must yell.
Or intimidation.
A calm tone can also be a serious warning.
Parents should not warn their children easily. After warning, nothing happened. They didn’t even get beaten and scolded. It seemed that they would pass after a night's sleep. This would leave the child with an impression that warning was useless. After more times, the child naturally thought warning was useless. When the child encountered serious things in society and was warned, he thought he was joking!
Then……
It's often nothing.
Mrs. Bian rarely warned Cao Pi, but once she did not do it after the warning, her butt blossoming is generally inevitable. The best thing is to stand in the courtyard for two or three hours.
In later generations, there were educationalists who said they could not physically punish their children, and then a group of fools would absolutely erase them. They could not touch a finger, and they could not lose a hair...
It is natural to use sticks to educate, but no hair can be missing, and it is also wrong. Everyone knows that doing things cannot go to extremes or purify them, but understanding and doing things are always different.
Why is it said that a child’s growth environment is very important and will affect his life? It is not about the problem of how much food and clothing are spent by the child, but about the complexity of the various characters that the child has come into contact with.
Just like the children of the Han Dynasty may not have all kinds of supplies, toys, electronic products, etc. for children of later generations, but children of later generations who possess many items may not be much smarter than Cao Pi today.
Cao Cao was cultivating, pushing Cao Pi to grow up, leading him to fight to kill enemies, watching life and death, taking him to handle official duties, and watching the surging interests, naturally, although there is more information than children who have more information, but who have more messy and ineffective information, have a higher room for growth.
Although Cao Pi still looks a little bit bearish now, he may be more mature than those who are still dependent on his parents when he is in his twenties or even in his thirties or forties.
Therefore, Mrs. Bian said the previous words to Cao Pi.
Mrs. Bian warned Cao Pi to pay special attention to Kong Rong's affairs and not think that Kong Rong's affairs are far away from him and are someone else's business. Just stand by and eat melons.
Cao Pi didn't really think so much before.
Or maybe he thinks things are very simple, or maybe things are things that are the things that others do.
But obviously, this is not simple.
Cao Pi thought of the strange rumors outside that seemed to be there were some strange rumors outside these two days.
Weird, yes, it's weird.
But before Mrs. Bian’s reminder, Cao Pi did not feel this way. Mrs. Bian was keen, and she noticed that the current wind seemed a bit strange...
Simply put, what do normal people do if they are arrested?
Should we rescue the person first, or would we shout and wait first? Let’s discuss what is “orthodox” and whether we should have this “orthodox”?
The so-called "orthodox" is the word "ritual" mentioned by Mrs. Bian just now, or "ritual law".
Cao Pi slowly thought about it and sorted it out a little bit, and then he realized that Mrs. Bian was actually prepared. She asked Cao Pi to take Cao Chong with her like a good brother, just like Cao Pi took Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang back then, and now she continues to ask Cao Pi to take Cao Chong with her.
Is there any problem?
Of course, Cao Pi felt that there was something wrong. He told Mrs. Bian that it would be fine if he brought Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang. After all, he was born by Mrs. Bian. He had the responsibility to take him as his eldest brother, but Cao Chong was not born by Mrs. Bian, so he didn't want to take him, so whoever liked to take him...
Who is born to like to take naughty kids?
Then the area has been around for so many years, one after another. Is this still over?
Cao Pi said he wanted freedom!
However, before Cao Pi raised his hand and shouted "For freedom", he was pressed by Mrs. Bian and he was beaten up hard.
The kind that uses thorns to make bleeding marks on the butt.
When Cao Cao heard this, he clapped his hands and sneered twice, saying that he was good at fighting, so he threw his sleeves and left.
Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Chong are all children of Cao Cao.
Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Huan are both Cao Cao's wives.
What else?
His eldest uncle, his second uncle...
Uh, I've been talking on the stage.
Cao Cao's posture, well, there are actually many offspring, but many of them die during the growth process of these children.
In history, Cao Cao recorded twenty-five sons, but there was only one position under Cao Cao's butt.
Cao Cao also has some adopted sons, but according to convention, the adopted son does not participate in the competition.
Cao Cao's 12 sons, Cao Shuo, Cao Xiong, Cao Chong, Cao Xuan, Cao Ju, Cao Shang, Cao Qin, Cao Cheng, Cao Zheng, Cao Jing, Cao Jun, and Cao Ji, either died young or died early, and all of them were not adults.
There are only 13 adults. Among these 13, Cao Ang died in battle. Cao Ju, Cao Yu, Cao Lin, Cao Gun, Cao Jun, Cao Gan, and Cao Biao are all of them have mediocre qualifications, either with flaws in character or with a problem with character.
Among the last five sons, Cao Hui and Cao Mao, Cao Cao, did not like it, so in the end, there were only Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang fighting for positions. Cao Zhang liked martial arts to command soldiers and generals, and voluntarily withdrew and did not participate in the competition. Therefore, the only ones who fought for the throne were Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
The same is true inside the lady.
Cao Cao's earliest concubine was Mrs. Liu. She gave birth to Cao Cao's two earliest children, Cao Ang and Cao Shuo. As a result, Cao Ang died in battle. Cao Shuo died early, and she also died early, but she and Mrs. Bian proved together that the problem of not having children was not Cao Cao, but Mrs. Ding.
So after Cao Ang died, Mrs. Ding quit the game.
The next person who became the eldest sister was Mrs. Bian.
However, Mrs. Bian has her own innate shortcomings. She was born as a singer and a singer girl. She is also called a singer or singer girl. Although she is working, regardless of the status of her status, the princess in KTV is also a profession, but by that, in fact, secular concepts are another matter.
Below Mrs. Bian is Mrs. Huan.
Mrs. Huan’s origin is much better than Mrs. Bian.
Mrs. Huan is from Pengcheng.
Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
The Huan family is not a big surname, but it also has a lot of origin.
As early as when Cao Cao was conquering Xuzhou, the Huan clan bet on Cao Cao.
This is actually the same as Mi Zhu and Mi Fang bet Mi on Liu Bei. However, because there is too no one under Liu Bei, three-legged cats can also be used to catch mice. When Cao Cao married Mrs. Huan, he had already had many counselors, and they were basically first-class and accurate first-class. To compare the Huan family, they naturally had to make plans but no strategy, no means...
But the problem is that not everyone has self-knowledge.
There are also many people in the Huan family who think they are relatives among the relatives of the outside world and should have some more or less position. How can they not have the authority to speak or act cheaply?
What should I do?
To raise Mrs. Huan’s identity, no matter what, Huan’s family is from a serious family, and of course she will be better than Mrs. Bian.
Don’t talk about the question of discrimination or not, just say that if your child is going to marry, he or her spouse has two choices: one is an ordinary profession, and the other is a special profession in a customary place. When you can only choose one, which one would a normal person choose?
Without any special examples, such as mud coming out of...
There is no need to discuss whether political correctness or not, it is just the choice of most people, which one would they choose?
So now the problem arises.
Mrs. Bian, Mrs. Huan, who can be considered the wife who is truly suitable for Cao Cao?
I didn’t have to choose before, but now I can choose why not?
Even if it is uncertain now, there is always no problem in testing one or two, right?
Just in time, I caught up.
One sheep is driven, two sheep are driven, just like Cao Pi is carrying one younger brother, two younger brothers, three younger brothers...
Cao Pi suddenly felt a little cold behind his back and a little sweaty on his forehead.
After a while, Cao Zhi came back from outside. Seeing Cao Pi sitting still, he seemed a little dull, so he stepped forward and worked beside Cao Pi, "How about Brother Chang'e?"
"Kong Wenju must die!" Cao Pi said gritting his teeth.
"Ah, ha?" Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his hand in front of Cao Pi for a few times, "What? Brother?"
"Hmm?" Cao Pi hurriedly shrank back, and then saw Cao Zhi, "Oh, when did you come?"
"I just came here..." Cao Zhi stared at Cao Pi, "Brother, what were you talking about just now?"
"Is Brother Chong back?" Cao Pi did not answer, but asked back.
Cao Zhi nodded, "Go back."
Cao Pi pondered for a while, "Will you say anything special to you in the past few days?"
The relationship between Cao Chong and Cao Zhi is obviously better than that of Cao Pi. This may have some similar scents, but some are children's instincts. Children will choose children who are slightly older than themselves and follow them, but if the age gap is large, this will not happen. This is a kind of mentality of human instinct that advocates the strong. Children will regard older children as "same type" strong people and worship and follow them, but for those who are much older, they are regarded as "anomal".
Cao Zhi tilted his head and thought, "There is nothing special. Brother, what are you going to ask?"
"For example, some orthodox and etiquette words..." Cao Pi asked.
Cao Zhi laughed, "He is still so young, how can he understand these?"
"Well, that's true." Cao Pi nodded.
『What's wrong?" Cao Zhi asked, 『What happened?"
The relationship between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi was not as tragic or cruel as later generations exaggerated. Cao Pi was suspicious and inherited the fine traditions of his father, but Cao Pi had not yet reached the point of killing his brothers. The so-called seven-step poems are not entirely true, and the most likely they are half-true and half-false.
It is very likely that the seven-step poem was written by Cao Zhi, but it was not written by him after taking seven steps on the spot.
Because Chinese people have always had the mentality of sympathizing with the weak and hating the strong since ancient times. In the process of oral propaganda from generation to generation, those who were circulated by Cao Pi were vilified because of Cao Pi's tyranny and ruthlessness; on the contrary, they greatly beautified and deified Cao Zhi. Then Cao Zhi was not afraid and calm, and within seven steps, he spoke every step, and finally became a poem.
But in fact, Cao Pi must have had a bad relationship with Cao Zhi in the end because the interests they represent are different. However, Cao Pi is the one who uses the name to deal with Cao Zhi in court, and he has to block his retreat in front of everyone in the aspect that Cao Zhi is best at. People who are not good at doing it think that Cao Pi sacrifices his image to support Cao Zhi's status...
I mean? I can't say that there is really a possibility? Cao Pi and Cao Zhi play the double yellow?
But no matter what, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's brothers have a good relationship at the moment, so after Cao Zhi asked Cao Pi, Cao Pi pondered for a while and said, "Someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble..."
"Who?" Cao Zhi asked.
"Confucius." Cao Pi said.
"Uh?" Cao Zhi couldn't react either.
"No word I said to you is allowed to be passed on." Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhi squintly, "If you can't do it, don't listen."
Is Cao Pi calm? Not calm. But who is calm when he was born? At least Cao Pi learned to be calm because he was not good at all, although he did not do well in history.
However, they are still half-aged children now. It is already very good to be able to analyze problems and try to solve them. They are much stronger than many young ancestors in later generations.
The environment of ancient feudal dynasties forced them to mature and grow as soon as possible.
Seeing that his brother was serious, Cao Zhi gradually stopped smiling, thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand. You can't spread it."
Seeing that Cao Zhi had thought for a while before agreeing, rather than the kind of casual response, Cao Pi nodded and said slowly: "Someone wants to make Kong Wenju related to etiquette and law... If he kills Kong Wenju, it means that etiquette and law will be broken..."
Cao Zhi frowned, "But what Kong Wenju is... how could it be related to etiquette?"
Cao Pi sneered twice, "It doesn't matter, but if you talk too much, it will make people feel that it is related..."
For example, if someone who wrote a short composition for seven-step poems and read too much, many people in later generations felt that Cao Pi had really done that kind of indescribable thing to Cao Zhi.
After all, even in later generations, there are still a lot of people who can speak out such words as "put aside the facts and not talk about them." Or they say that they are dog lovers, they can openly intercept the dog transport vehicle and then intercept the dog. Even if the vehicle transporting the dog is legal and compliant, such a person will not be punished by law, according to this logic, if they are a beauty lover, well...
『No wonder someone has been praising Kong Wenju recently...』 Cao Zhi nodded, 『It is said that people shouted at Kong Wenju's name outside the prison every day...』
Cao Pi said: "Now they want to equate Kong Wenju with orthodox and ritual law. If they kill Kong Wenju, it means we are going to violate orthodox and ritual law... Do you know what this means?"
Cao Zhi thought about it, and suddenly his little face turned a little white.
Because in the feudal dynasty, the so-called orthodoxy and etiquette are the ultimate directions of the same place.
In other words, the law is the embodiment of the will of the ruling class.
Orthodoxy and etiquette are the "laws" of the feudal dynasty.
"Then... don't kill, just lock up?" Cao Zhi asked.
Cao Pi gritted his teeth and said, "If we don't kill, we will be released sooner or later. And the longer it will be delayed, the more we become weaker in this matter! Kong Wenju's reputation will be. Even if we want to kill, we will not be able to cause more problems!"
Although Cao Pi did not understand the clear words of later generations that "hesitation will lead to failure", it did not prevent him from knowing the truth. In many cases, it was not a difference between right and wrong, but a difference between strength and weakness.
If Cao Cao's side is strong, others will naturally become weak. If Cao Cao is weak, others will of course become stronger.
There is no doubt about this.
