Dad?

Cao Peng was stunned!

Why is dad here?

And looking at the posture of the stars holding the moon, it seems that he is the leader. Could it be that...

In Cao Peng's mind, an idea that seemed to him to be extremely absurd suddenly flashed across his mind: Dad, is he the governor of Liangzhou?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is absurd.

Cao Peng knew best what kind of situation Cao Ji was in.

When he was first reborn, Cao Ji didn't know a single Chinese character. Moreover, his character had a laid-back and happy-go-lucky nature.

At that time, Cao Ji didn't like fighting with others or causing trouble.

Keeping the small shop in Zhongyang Town doesn't have any big ambitions.

It can be said that if Cheng Ji had not bullied his mother Zhang and Cao Peng got angry, sneaked into Cheng's mansion and killed Cheng Ji, Cao Ji might not have left Zhongyang Mountain, and would have stayed in Zhongyang all his life.

Growing old in town...

Later, he traveled around and arrived in Xudu.

Cao Ji took advantage of the situation and relied on the three treasures in the horse to serve as the supervisor of Heyi Workshop, thus embarking on an official career.

But what really made him famous was the thirty-six Tiangang Swords. It was precisely because of this that he got the name Yinmo Juzi. Although even Cao Ji himself was unwilling to admit it, everyone believed it! From then on, he followed him

As his sword-making skills improved, his reputation grew bigger and bigger. When he entered Cao Cao's eyes, it was because of Cao Gongli and Cao Gongche that he got the title of Marquis of Fengche.

Of course, Cao Ji's title was largely derived from the political achievements of Deng Ji and Cao Peng in Haixi.

From this, Cao Ji soared to the sky.

However, Cao Ji's knowledge has always been criticized by others.

So Cao Peng wanted his father to become a dragon and wrote the Eight Hundred Characters Wonderful Essay. It was at that time that Cao Ji began to study. He also became familiar with Liu Ye and met many famous people. If it is said that the Eight Hundred Characters Essay had not appeared before,

Before, Cao Ji relied on Cao Peng to make his fortune; but after the appearance of the Eight Hundred Characters, Cao Ji gradually gained his own connections.

In the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Ji was appointed as the captain of the city gate.

But those who are familiar with the situation know that Cao Jin's appointment as city gate captain was due to Cao Peng's promise to give up Haixi's interests.

It's an exchange!

In the past two years, Cao Ji had made no achievements or faults in his position as the captain of the city gate.

Most things were left to Cao Zun to take care of. Wen had help from Cao Bin and others, and Wu had brothers Niu, Taurus and Yin, so he was safe and sound.

If this pattern is followed, Cao Ji will be able to reach the position of Jiu Qing at most.

Being a great craftsman is the most promising choice.

However, no one expected that Cao Ji could serve as the governor of Liangzhou.

This is a high-ranking official with a salary of tens of thousands of stones. Is Cao Ji really suitable?

But if you change your perspective, you will find that Cao Ji is really the most suitable candidate for Liangzhou governor at present.

First of all, he is Cao Peng's father and Cao Peng's father.

From this point of view, Liangzhou's arrogant generals will never make things difficult. Especially the three northwest towns, Zhangye, Wuwei, and Hexi counties all recognize Cao Ji and even call him uncle. They have a deep friendship with Shi.

Tao and Pang Tong stayed in Xudu for three years, lived in Cao's house, and met Cao Ji every day. Naturally, there was no need to talk about this relationship.

And what about Bu Zhao?

His cousin was Cao Peng's concubine, and Cao Ji could be considered his elder.

Moreover, I have followed Cao Peng for the longest time, so it is impossible to go against Cao Ji...

As for Wang Mai, he is even more willing to obey orders.

As early as when Wang Mai was in Zhongyang Town, he called Cao Ji his uncle, which can be said to be a good match for the whole family. Just as Cao Peng regarded Wang Meng as his adoptive father, Wang Mai also regarded Cao Ji as his father. His mother died early in life, and he had the Zhang family.

He has taken great care of him and has a deep relationship with the Cao family; and Deng Fan is a younger brother of the Deng Ji clan. His parents have been working in the Cao Mansion. Since they met in the second year of Jian'an, they have a deep friendship. In other words, among the three counties in the northwest, the person who controls

The two generals with the most military power would both believe in Cao Ji.

One is the Western Captain, who is in charge of Hehuang; the other is the Zhonglang General of the Zheng Qiang, who is responsible for promoting the Western Qiang.

In addition, Xia Houlan also worked with Cao Ji through life and death. Remembering that after the defeat of Wancheng, he protected Cao Peng's family and fought back to Runan from Nanyang. This relationship is not even shallower than that of Deng Fan and others. The three towns worked hard

Support is such a powerful force. In other words, as long as Cao Ji arrives in Liangzhou, he will have more than half of the power in his hands.

Don't forget, there is another Hao Zhao in Longxi, who also respects Cao Ji as his elder.

Cao Hong of Chang'an benefited a lot from Cao Ji.

In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Hong obtained at least twenty precious swords from Cao Ji, and each one made huge profits.

With such a relationship, how could Cao Ji be afraid of making things difficult?

As for Zhao Ang in Longxi, Yan Xing in Lintao, and Cheng Gongying in Jincheng... no matter whether they believed in Cao Ji or not, they would not be embarrassed for Cao Peng's sake. In this way, 80% of the power in Liangzhou would be equal to Cao Ji's.

Draw hands.

This is something that even Wei Duan cannot do!

In fact, when Cao Ji became the governor of Liangzhou, the biggest resistance came from the Guanzhong gentry and the court.

However, in terms of qualifications, it seems that Cao Ji's rise from the city gate captain with two thousand stone officers to the governor of Liangzhou is not too much.

He served in the court for eight years and made many achievements.

For example, in the fourth year of Jian'an, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou. It was Cao Ji who built Cao Gong's chariot, which alleviated the drought in Yuzhou.

Of course, who made this Cao bus?

Nowadays, no one cares. Whether it is Cao Peng or Huang Yueying, who is willing to give this credit to Cao Ji, who can say otherwise? Therefore, it is basically impossible to refuse based on seniority. The royalist party has died down, and

Among them, the backbone of Linyi Marquis Liu Guang also admitted privately that Cao Ji was currently the most suitable candidate.

The royalists could no longer hold back, and only the Guanzhong gentry were left.

Originally, the Guanzhong gentry wanted to win over the candidate to be the governor of Liangzhou.

But for some unknown reason, just a few days ago, Huangfu Jianshou of Chaona, and Wei Jian of Sili Xiaowei, who represented the Wei family in Hedong, suddenly expressed their opinions that Cao Ji was the most suitable candidate for the governor of Liangzhou.

.

Hongnong Yang immediately expressed his approval.

The Guanzhong gentry suddenly fell apart and no longer persisted...

How many interests are involved and how many transactions are involved? Cao Peng doesn't know clearly.

According to Cao Ji himself, he never thought that he would become the governor of Liangzhou! Even when Guo Jia ran to tell him the news, he thought Guo Jia was joking. Who knew that this matter was actually true?

of!

You know how much you are capable of.

Cao Ji was also frightened and uneasy at first.

To put it bluntly, he is a craftsman. Even if he is educated and literate nowadays, at most he is just a craftsman wearing the clothes of a scholar.

How could he suddenly become a prince in charge of a state?

Later, Guo Jia said to him: "Does my father know the importance of Liangzhou?"

"I don't know."

"Does Master understand how much effort Youxue has put into Liangzhou?"

"this……"

"As far as I know, Youxue spent almost all his money to build the foundation of Hexi.

Only then did today's changes in Liangzhou happen... If someone else had gone there, I'm afraid all of Youxue's hard work would have been wasted. Shifu went to Liangzhou now not to take advantage of Youxue, but to keep it for him.

What a lot of hard work Liangzhou put into it.”

Do you want to get promoted and make a fortune, become famous?

Cao Ji doesn't want to go!

He would feel that he stepped on his son and became the governor of Liangzhou.

But if he is the governor of Liangzhou to save his son's hard work, then he is definitely willing.

There seems to be little difference between the two, but to Cao Ji, the meaning is different. This is also the difference between a hero and an ordinary person. Cao Ji does not have a high vision, nor is he the kind of person with great ambitions and ability.

Not even as good as Wang Meng. But he is Cao Peng's father. Even if he risks his life, he still has to protect his son's efforts.

This is what an ordinary person thinks...

"Dad, why are you here?"

"I'm here to save your hard work for you."

In the Lintao government office, Cao's father and son gathered together.
