The guard shook his head." Madam isn't crying. She went to see Master God-Diviner just now. She hasn't cried since she came back…"
"What Master Diviner?" asked Cao Cao.”
"It's that young Daoist, Meng Yang, whose Daoist name is Chunyangzi!" the guard said.”
Meng Yang admired the Daoist Chunyangzi, Lu Dongbin, so he gave himself the Daoist name Chunyangzi!
His master, Mr. Crow Horn, Zuo Ci, recognized the Daoist name Meng Yang. He said that Meng Yang had a pure Yang body and was especially suitable for practicing special Daoist techniques that ordinary people could not.
Cao Cao came to see Lady Ding. What did that young Taoist priest say?"
Madam Ding looked at Cao Cao with a complicated expression,""Other than your current sons, do you have any other sons outside?”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He had had a few one-night relationships outside these years. He really couldn't tell if he had other sons now.
He suddenly thought of the young Taoist priest, Chunyangzi Meng Yang.""That young Taoist priest told my fortune before and said that I only have these sons. Why do you ask that?”
"But the young Taoist priest told me that you have a son outside. He's already 18 years old this year…" Madam Ding sighed.
"An 18 year old son? Was that the child born 19 years ago?”Cao Cao suddenly remembered a stunning girl he met 19 years ago.
Cao Cao's thoughts flew as he recalled some things from 19 years ago.
It was the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty.
At that time, Cao Cao was still an official in Luoyang and had a very good relationship with the then Grand Marshal Qiao Xuan.
When Cao Cao was young, he was smart and alert. He had strategy and power. He was willful, chivalrous and unrestrained. Therefore, no one in the world thought he was unusual. Only Qiao Xuan of Liang and He Yong of Nanyang thought he was different.
Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao," The world is going to be in chaos. If you don't have the ability to change the world, you can't save the situation. The only person who can make the world stable is probably you!"”
Cao Cao often lamented that Qiao Xuan was his confidant.
In the seventh year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao passed by and went to Qiao Xuan's tomb to offer sacrifices to him."…When I was young, I went to your residence. At that time, I accepted your meeting with my mischievous character.
You praised me, just like Confucius praised himself for being inferior to Yan Yuan, and Li Sheng praised Jia Fu. A scholar will die for his confidant. I have always remembered this saying.
Then I remembered what you said to me: 'After I die, if you pass by here, if you don't bring me a bucket of wine and a chicken as a sacrifice, don't blame me if your stomach hurts after the carriage has passed three steps.'
Although he was joking at that time, if they weren't close, why would he say such a thing? She missed the past and felt sad when she thought about it.
Now that I've been ordered to go east, I'm stationed in the village. I look north at the land and my heart is on your tomb, so I'm using a small gift to pay tribute to you. I hope you can enjoy it!”
This pair of friends had been so close back then.
When Cao Cao was 20 years old, he was appointed Lang (the general term for the emperor's attendants) because he was recommended to be filial and honest. Then, he was promoted to the north of Luoyang and was transferred to Dunqiu as the county magistrate of Dunqiu. Because of his achievements in governing Dunqiu, he was summoned back to Luoyang by the emperor and appointed as a counselor.
As a counselor, Cao Cao often visited Qiao Xuan's residence and found a beautiful maid. He kidnapped her and secretly promised her that he would take her as a concubine.
However, at this time, a very terrifying thing happened in the palace and affected Cao Cao.
The first empress of the Han Ling Emperor, Empress Song, was not favored by the Han Ling Emperor, but she was the empress. There were many favored concubines in the palace who worked together to frame and slander Empress Song.
At first, Wang Fu, the constant attendant, killed Liu Kui, the King of Bo Sea, and his concubine Song. Song was the aunt of Empress Song. Wang Fu was afraid that Empress Song would hate him, so he fabricated a lie with Cheng A, the doctor of Taizhong, to frame Empress Song. He said that Empress Song cursed others with witchcraft, and Emperor Ling of Han believed it.
In the tenth month of the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to take back Empress Song's seal, depose her as Empress, and banish her into the Cold Palace.
Not long after Empress Song was banished to the Cold Palace, she died of depression. Empress Song's father, Song Feng, and his brothers were implicated and imprisoned.
Cao Cao was implicated by the eunuchs who killed his cousin's husband, Marquis Song Qi (the younger brother of the Empress of Song). He was forced to resign and was forced out of Luoyang, returning to his hometown, Qiao County.
Because he left in a hurry, Cao Cao didn't even have time to meet the maid of the Qiao Manor.
A few years later, when Cao Cao returned to Luoyang and went to the Qiao Xuan Mansion, he was told that the girl had gotten pregnant not long after Cao Cao left Luoyang and was chased out of the Qiao Mansion.
Cao Cao had sent people to look around, but because of the chaos, he didn't know where the girl was. In the end, he couldn't find her, so he gave up.
However, he did not expect to hear about the mother and son 19 years later.
