Cao Ang still had over 2,000 Fate.
He didn't continue to draw the lottery and prepared to save it for a rainy day.
In the next few days, he stayed at home and organized the funeral for his cheap father Cao Cao.
At this moment, he was wearing mourning clothes and standing in the mourning hall that had just been built. He was surrounded by crying women and a bunch of younger brothers and sisters that he had never seen before.
Cao Ang really wanted to complain.
This cheapskate father was really good at giving birth!
The number of Cao Cao's descendants was not inferior to that of emperors. There were nearly thirty in historical records, but they were all too young.
Cao Pi had just turned 10 years old.
His adopted son Cao Zhen was similar to him.
Cao Zhi was only five years old at the moment, and Cao Chong had yet to reincarnate.
It was precisely because his other sons were too young that they were not a threat.
As Cao Ang's only adult son, he was naturally in charge of the funeral and reception of guests.
It had to be said.
Cao Ang felt tired.
He respected Cao Mengde very much.
When he was young, he had once idolized Cao Cao.
But he really didn't have any father-son relationship with this cheapskate father.
At this moment, he still had to pretend to be a filial son. How could this not make people feel tired?
A lean and sharp man arrived. He was Xiahou Dun's younger brother, Xiahou Yuan.
"General Xiahou Yuan is really early," Cao Ang said.”
" Zixiu," Xiahou Yuan said angrily," the Emperor has made Cao Hong the Great General. Don't tell me you don't know about this?"”
"I have received the imperial edict."
"Then how can you still be so calm?"
Cao Ang fiddled with the brazier and said indifferently,"What is Uncle Cao Hong's attitude towards this matter?"”
Xiahou Yuan was furious." This guy didn't even decline the offer symbolically. He accepted the title of the Son of Heaven right away. Meng De's body hasn't even turned cold yet. His actions are shameless and make us feel cold!"”
"I understand."
"Aren't you going to do anything?"
"What do you think I should do?" Cao Ang asked.”
Xiahou Yuan was speechless.
Cao Hong had illustrious military achievements and held real power.
With Cao Cao gone, Cao Ang's words weren't enough to suppress him.
There were only two paths.
The first method was to express goodwill to the emperor and gain the support of the emperor and the courtiers by fawning over him. In this way, they could take back what should have belonged to them.
The second option was to skip the emperor. As the heir to the throne, Cao Ang would still have the support of the Xiahou brothers and many of his old subordinates. He could directly fight Cao Hong to the end.
No matter what he chose.
Tian Zi and the old ministers of the Han Dynasty had the last laugh.
If Cao Ang wanted to obtain the support of the emperor, he would have to pay a price, such as returning a portion of the emperor's power.
If Cao Ang chose to fight with Cao Hong, as the saying goes, the third party would benefit from the fight between the snipe and clam, and the emperor could also keep checks and balance in this process.
" I have a group of men of sacrifice," Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice." Why don't we…"
Cao Ang interrupted Xiahou Yuan." Calm down. Help me investigate two things.”
"Zixiu, tell me."
"Tian Zi, he's just a mediocre person. I don't think he can come up with such a plan in such a short time. I want to know who suggested it to Tian Zi.”
"Yes!"
"The waters of the royal court run too deep. Even if my father was still alive, he was always on guard against those old foxes. It was difficult to figure out how many people were on the emperor's side, and it was also difficult to predict when they would suddenly jump out. Now that I have such a rare opportunity, I want to take this opportunity to find out who is eating the food rewarded by the Cao family and who is going against the Cao family.”
Xiahou Yuan's eyes flashed with killing intent.""This general accepts the order. I'll go investigate now!”
The trouble this time was indeed not small.
But crisis and opportunity often coexisted.
This was an opportunity to establish his prestige and clean up the court.
In order to avoid future battles with the various heroes.
This bunch of restless fellows were secretly causing trouble behind his back again.
Cao Ang intended to settle this once and for all!
Xiahou Yuan was Xiahou Dun's younger brother, so he should be trusted. As one of the four generals, he had many spies in Xuchang, but that was not enough.
Cao Ang had to be cautious.
Therefore, Cao Yi was sent to follow Xiahou Yuan.
On one hand, Cao Yi was very capable, intelligent, and extremely useful.
On one hand, Cao Yi had the ability to read people's minds. He could judge a person's mental state and monitor Xiahou Yuan and the people around him.
…………
Not long after.
People from all walks of life came to offer their condolences.
Cao Ang was dressed in mourning clothes, respectful and courteous as he received everyone.
Among them were Cao Cao's old subordinates and the old and young of the royal court. At this moment, a loud voice sounded from the door,
"Great General Cao Hong has arrived!"
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but curse.
However, he was forced back by Cao Ang's gaze.
Cao Hong and Cao Ren led their subordinates into the hall.
They knelt in front of the coffin, wailing and kowtowing crazily.
Although most of them were acting, they were also sincere.
He was the first to follow Cao Cao.
He truly acknowledged Cao Cao from his heart.
Therefore, she went through life and death with him without hesitation.
Cao Hong came before Cao Ang." Zi Xiu, I feel ashamed to be the Great General. Why don't we write a letter to the Emperor at the same time and ask him to withdraw this imperial edict?”
Cao Hong was testing him.
If he really felt guilty, he wouldn't have accepted this imperial edict.
"Since the imperial edict has been announced to the world, how can it be withdrawn?" Cao Ang said.”
He was dispirited and dispirited. He continued," Ever since you and father started the army in Chenliu, you have made many meritorious deeds and have been together in life and death. Now that father has unfortunately died, only you can be the pillar of the country. I hope you will not refuse the great responsibility of the world.”
"Zi Xiu thinks so?" Cao Hong asked suspiciously.”
Cao Ang said," I was unable to protect my father during the crisis. As a son, I have sinned. Now, I only want to be filial to my father. I have to trouble uncle to shoulder all the important matters of the Cao family, both inside and outside the court.”
"This…"
"There's no need to say anything else. I absolutely trust uncle. If anyone dares to oppose uncle or harm uncle, Zi Xiu will definitely be the first to disagree.”
In front of everyone.
He had already said that.
How could Cao Hong not be happy?
Good!
That was great!
He really didn't expect this.
This kid was so tactful.
He thought that it would take some effort.
He did not expect it to be so easy!
"If Meng De could have such a filial son like you, he would be able to smile in the afterlife!" he said.”
Dong Cheng, Yang Xiong, Sima Fang, and the others looked at each other.
Could it be that Cao Ang had lost his will to fight because of Cao Cao's death?
The other Cao family members had mixed feelings, but Ah Ke, Yu Jin, and Yue Jin were calm.
The three of them had witnessed Cao Ang's heroic bearing as he galloped across the enemy's formation, and they had also heard Cao Ang's great wish.
Such a person.
How could he not recover?
Such a person.
How could he lose his fighting spirit?
Therefore, not only did he not feel the slightest disappointment, but he also felt a little disappointed.
Opposing this kind of forbearance was very admirable, and he was looking forward to what kind of shocking move he would make next!
