However, before Zhou Buyi came, although he didn't know what it was, he had some guesses. Therefore, he instructed Cao Chong that if he guessed correctly, he should be able to gain Cao Cao's favor.
"Hehe, Buyi has also arrived. Let's begin.”
Cao Cao laughed and ate an orange in his mouth. He looked very relaxed as if nothing big had happened.
"Everyone, please take your seats."
Xun Yu acted as the butler. He had been by Cao Cao's side for a long time, almost from the beginning of the army. He had been by Cao Cao's side, strategizing and solving a large number of problems.
It was almost a habit now.
The advisors and scholars exchanged glances. None of them knew what was going on, but they still sat down according to the instructions. Zhou Buyi was still seated at the very end, while Cao Chong was seated at the third seat.
Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were seated on the left and right respectively.
After Cao Cao saw that everyone had taken their seats, he instructed the kitchen to serve the dishes.
It was just summer, and most people liked to eat beef, so they cooked beef breasts.
After drinking three rounds of wine.
Cao Cao waved his hand and dismissed the dancers and servants.
He smacked his lips and narrowed his eyes as he looked at everyone. He slowly said,"Oh, apart from some rewards, I have called everyone here today to ask for your opinions on some matters.”
"Xun Yu."
"Here."
Xun Yu bowed slightly and went out to call for a few soldiers. They carried two baskets of scrolls, which contained one to two hundred scrolls, and fell to the ground in the hall.
They piled up like a small mountain.
"Some of you should be familiar with these.”
Cao Cao looked at the people at the back of the seats.
They were all Han officials, and there were also many minor officials at the border of Xu Capital.
There were more than a hundred people in total.
Some of them were already trembling.
As for Zhou Buyi, he was as clear as a mirror. He was drinking water and eating meat by himself, and he was very happy.
" Hehe, hehe, hahaha…" Cao Cao swept his gaze across them, revealing a sharp gaze like that of an old fox.
What was strange was…
Cao Pi was actually trembling as well.
Although it was only for a moment, his position was too conspicuous. Beside him was Jia Xu, opposite him were Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, and nearby were Guo Jia and the Xun family's uncle and nephew.
These people's eyes were so sharp and vicious!
Naturally, he caught it in an instant.
Although Cao Cao did not look, his smile froze.
"Zihuan, are you cold?"
" Oh, no, Father, I feel that the alcohol is coming on…" Cao Pi shrunk his neck with a smile, hiding his uneasiness very well.
His lips were indeed pale, and he felt very guilty, but he did not show it too much.
This was because Cao Pi would never betray Cao Cao. However, he had many friends. In order to win over the hearts of the people, he naturally had good relations with many old ministers and aristocrats.
Even if it was just superficial.
This meant that many people would be involved with him, so he would inevitably be dragged into it.
" Everyone," Cao Cao said in a deep voice," This is the letter you wrote to Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu. I haven't read it yet, so I don't know who wrote it. Why don't we take advantage of today's banquet and read it together?"”
Clang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a person's wine glass fell to the ground. Then, he laughed awkwardly, but his face was pale.
"I don't think there's a need…"
Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and probed.
Although he knew that Cao Cao would reprimand him, he didn't expect that he would have to watch it in public.
Wouldn't this confirm the crime and even make people more anxious?
Cao Cao looked at Zhou Buyi, who was sitting at the back, and said softly,""Little guy, what do you think?”
Zhou Buyi was a little stunned when he was suddenly called out.
You're asking me about this?
You drank a glass of fine wine. Mentality 1, Prestige 1
I'm grinding my stats.
"Um, Uncle Sikong, I don't know either.”
Zhou Buyi answered honestly,"Why don't we ask the two brothers or Brother Cang Shu?"”
He threw the blame to the three heirs again.
Cao Cao stroked his beard in satisfaction and looked at Cao Pi.""Zihuan, what do you think?"
"Son, son…I think we should punish him severely!”Cao Pi made up his mind and gritted his teeth.
In short, the arrow was already on the bow and had no choice but to be fired. It was better to be more magnanimous. Even if he was implicated, he would not receive too severe punishment.
"Oh, severe punishment."
"Zijian, what do you think?" Cao Cao turned to Cao Zhi.”
Cao Zhi drank a mouthful of wine, his long hair fluttering slightly. He stood up straight with a rather imposing manner. After thinking for a moment, he said,"I think that we should give these people a chance to admit their punishment in private. If the circumstances are not serious, they should be reprimanded.”
"Oh, my son is benevolent, not bad.”
Cao Cao praised Cao Zhi, causing Cao Pi to smile bitterly.
If I had known earlier, I would have said the same thing!
He could not understand Cao Cao's intentions. Even if he tried to guess, Cao Pi could not see through Cao Cao's intentions after following him for so many years.
"Chong-er, what do you think?"
At this moment, Cao Cao asked Cao Chong.
The little fellow stood up politely and bowed deeply. Then, he looked at the small mountain of books on the ground and waved his hand."I think these books should be burned in public.”
" What?!"
Everyone was puzzled, but a few of the advisors looked at each other and suddenly smiled.
Cao Cao was the same. He looked at his youngest son with a smile and asked,"Why is that?"
