    [Thanks to book friend "Bare" for the tip!  The six-channel advertisement recommendation on the main website next week, I hope book friends will continue to support!  I will be going out from the 25th to the 28th of this month. I can only update once a day. I hope everyone can understand!  ¡¿

    After Xia Houyuan entered, he saw Liu Quan falling to the ground, blood pouring from his chest, and his body was still twitching.  But Cao Cao was sitting behind a few desks with a dull look in his eyes.  As Liu Quan said, the Cao family is now at its weakest. Although the crime of killing the county magistrate is lighter than colluding with a cult or raising a private army, it is not something that the current Cao family can easily wipe out!

    Xia Houyuan quickly closed the door and asked in a low voice: "Mengde, what's going on? Didn't you say you would try your best to persuade him? How can you kill him?"

    "The guy's words just now were too irritating, and the alcohol was rising, so I couldn't control my emotions. Alas!" Cao Cao sighed and whispered: "Miaocai, is there anything going on outside?"

    "Not really, Meng De, let's run away before they find out!" Xia Houyuan said quickly.

    Cao Cao nodded, and the two tidied up the room. When they saw that nothing was left behind, they quietly went out and slipped out through the back door.

    After the two men had ridden their horses for three or four miles, Cao Cao suddenly stopped the horses.

    Xia Houyuan was very surprised, "Mengde, what's wrong?"

    "The old soldier at the inn has seen the two of us. When he finds Liu Quan's body, the Yamen will definitely ask him to describe our faces and draw wanted documents!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "No, we have to go back and kill him.  !¡±

    ?? In comparison, what does the life of a pawn count?  !

    The two of them turned around, but when they were about a mile away from the inn, the inn was bustling with activity, and the warning gongs kept ringing. They must have discovered Liu Quan's body!

    It is unrealistic to kill the old soldier now. Cao Cao sighed and could only return to Cao Mansion with Xia Houyuan.

    After daybreak, Cao Cao went to Cao Song's courtyard, retreated from his followers, and told what happened last night.

    When Cao Song heard this, he was shocked and said angrily: "Mengde, why are you so confused?! Even if the county magistrate can implicate the Moon Worship Cult in our Cao family, it will only make us embarrassed for a while, but it will not harm us.  The foundation. My father went back to Luoyang and made a lot of new connections by selling the right to sell refined salt. With their help, even if Xu Kuan complained to the emperor, we are not afraid of him! But now you kill him rashly,  I'm afraid it will arouse everyone's hostility towards you! People with different political opinions can attack and frame each other, but they cannot be eliminated directly from the body. This is a taboo in official circles! "

    Cao Cao sighed and muttered in a low voice: "Who allowed him to threaten our Cao family and Anmin repeatedly? I was so drunk that I couldn't control my emotions. If it doesn't work, I will surrender to the county government today!"

    Cao Song shook his head repeatedly, "Be calm in all important events, Meng De. Tomorrow is the big day for Ang'er's adoption. If you go to the county government to surrender today, will the ceremony be held tomorrow?! And I am busy at this time.  Your comeback has already been revealed, but if your reputation is slandered again, your comeback will be far away!"

    When Cao Cao heard about this for the first time, he was very surprised and asked: "Father, I am the Prime Minister of Jinan. Not long ago, I was appointed as the prefect of Dongjun. Although I did not take up the post, my official position after my restoration should be equivalent to this."  ! But where are such suitable job vacancies now? I haven¡¯t heard of anyone taking a leave of absence recently!¡±

    Cao Song took a step forward and explained in a low voice: "The last time I went to Beijing, I found that the most popular thing in Beijing is to establish a crown prince. Now His Majesty's health is getting worse, but there are two people who are qualified for the throne of Prince.  Prince!"

    Cao Cao nodded. He had heard about this in the past. Among these two princes, one was Liu Bian, the eldest son of the Queen He, whose uncle was the general He Jin who was a butcher; the other was Liu Bian, the eldest son of the Queen He.  It was Liu Xie, the son of Wang Meiren who was poisoned by Queen He.

    Cao Cao asked in surprise, "I've heard about this too, but He Jin has a high position, so there are many people who support Liu Bian. Liu Xie's mother died early, so there shouldn't be many people supporting him!"

    Cao Song shook his head slightly and whispered: "Liu Xie was raised by Empress Dowager Dong. The relationship between ancestors and grandchildren is very deep. Moreover, Empress Dowager Dong is still a vassal concubine after all. If you want to truly become the empress dowager of my great man, you still have to do it."  There is a big threshold!¡±

    Cao Cao nodded. Empress Dowager Dong's husband Liu Chang was not the emperor. Only because Emperor Huan of Han had no children before his death, Liu Chang's son Liu Hong was lucky enough to be made emperor.  At this time, Liu Chang was dead, and Empress Dowager Dong could only be welcomed into the palace as a vassal concubine. Her status was very embarrassing.  It would be fair to say that Empress Dowager Dong supported her grandson Liu Xie, who was closer to her, to fight for the crown prince position.??.

    Cao Cao asked in surprise: "But does this have anything to do with my resurrection? I always feel that the battle for the crown prince is a very distant thing and has nothing to do with us!"

    Cao Song shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, it matters a lot! Logically speaking, Liu Bian is older than Liu Xie, and he was born to the queen. As the eldest son, it is natural for him to be promoted to prince.

    "However, Liu Bian's behavior was very frivolous and devoid of dignity.  However, Liu Xie, who was raised by Empress Dowager Dong, behaved dignifiedly and was deeply loved by the emperor.  In addition, Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren died unexpectedly, and the emperor inevitably felt sympathy for Liu Xie.  Therefore, the emperor wanted to make Liu Xie the crown prince, but this was contrary to the royal tradition of establishing the eldest son first, and he could not get the response of the important officials in the court, so the emperor could not make up his mind.

    In order to prevent the resurgence of the Yellow Turban cultists and to divide the military power in He Jin's hands, the emperor has decided to build an army in Xiyuan and set up several captains to take charge of this army.  It is one of the positions that the Father operates for you!

    The Xiyuan Army is clearly the Habayashi Guards rebuilt by His Majesty. Being promoted to the position of captain will definitely play a more positive role in your future development.  It is said that Yuan Wei is also running one of the positions for Yuan Shao. This opportunity is not to be missed!  "

    Cao Cao nodded repeatedly. He must not miss the position that Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the three princes, coveted.  He whispered: "It's just the assassination of Liu Quan"

    Cao Song frowned and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that Xia Houyuan went with you? If the investigation is too tight, let him take the blame!"

    "How is that possible?" Cao Cao shook his head repeatedly and objected loudly: "How can I let a talented person suffer for me? It's inappropriate!"

    Cao Song advised in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, if you go to jail, then the comeback that my father planned for you will come to nothing. Not to mention the hard work and time I spent, just this rare opportunity, once  If it goes to waste, neither the Cao family nor the Xiahou family will have a chance to prosper! But if Xiahouyuan is imprisoned, after you come back, we can get him out quickly as long as we take more care. What's more, there are many people in the prison in Qiao County  He's one of our own, so Xiahou Miaocai won't have to suffer much! I'll tell him about this, just pretend you don't know. Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so he just thinks he's going to stay in prison for a few days and have some rest.  .¡±

    Cao Cao heard what Cao Song said was reasonable, but he still shook his head: "Father, since you let Brother Miaocai suffer for me, then I will tell you the whole story. I can't deceive my brother!"

    Seeing that Cao Cao insisted on his own opinion, Cao Song reluctantly agreed.  So Cao Cao called Xia Houyuan and told him everything.

    However, before Cao Cao could say anything about asking Xia Houyuan to plead guilty, Xia Houyuan took the initiative to ask for orders and said in a low voice: "Since Brother Meng De is about to resurrect, I will be responsible for the assassination of Liu Quan this time. I believe Meng De  After my brother comes back to life, he will definitely find a way to clear my name. Brother Meng De, don¡¯t be embarrassed, I, Xiahou Miaocai, will never refuse if you can do something for me!"

    Cao Cao sighed and whispered: "After all, I am the one who is sorry for you!"

    Cao Song also whispered: "Mengde, Miaocai, you two can rest assured that even if the government tracks down Miaocai and puts Miaocai in jail, I will take care of everything and not let him suffer in the slightest! In Qiao County,  Anyone who dares to quarrel with our family is seeking death!"

    At this time, Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and said to Xia Houyuan: "Miaocai, I suddenly remembered something. Maybe you don't have to suffer in vain. Do you still remember that when Yuan Rang was fourteen years old, he killed the disciples who had insulted his master? There was a lot of fuss at that time.  , but in the end we just paid some fines, we can also follow suit! I heard that Liu Quan visited the countryside some time ago and made disrespectful remarks about your first teacher? "

    Xia Houyuan scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and nodded: "Well, I don't blame Liu Quan for this. Who told me, a teacher, to be old-fashioned? I studied with him for a few days, but I couldn't stand him.  His nagging prompted his father to fire him. I heard that a few days ago, I, the teacher, questioned Liu Quan¡¯s knowledge, but he was given a lesson.¡±

    Cao Cao ignored him, but looked at Cao Song and asked in a low voice: "What do you think, father?"

    Cao Song smiled and nodded, and said to Xia Houyuan: "Meng De is right, we can imitate what Yuan Rang did. Miaocai, you can say this to everyone: After learning about the teacher's humiliation a few days ago, you  He was always aggrieved and tried to avenge his master by stabbing Liu Quan with his sword. So he took a servant and pretended to be a messenger and deceived Liu Quan out of the city. Unexpectedly, he accidentally missed and committed manslaughter! "

    Seeing that Xia Houyuan was still surprised, Cao Cao said with a smile: "In this way, not only will the charge be changed from 'intentional murder' to 'manslaughter,' but it will also give Miaocai a reputation for respecting teachers and being courageous in doing things. The benefits are greater than  Disadvantage!"

    Xia Houyuan nodded repeatedly,He said with a smile: "In this way, I have benefited. Meng De, after I go to jail, I will rely on you and Yuan Rang to take care of my family affairs! When you have time, go and see my mother"

    Cao Cao patted Xia Houyuan's chest heavily and said in a deep voice: "Brother, your mother is my mother. If I have anything to eat, her old man is indispensable! I, Cao Mengde, swear to you that I will definitely save you!"
