Chapter 100: Why did the public stand before and then show respect? Cao Cao was so upset! [Please order first]

Cao Cao was really sour.

What do you think this is?

A father is not as well-known as his son, and he is not as well-connected as his son when he is away from home.

It is understandable to say that if I have already taken care of my old age at home, I cannot compare to my son who is in his prime.

But I am also serving in the imperial court, and I am only in my thirties now. On the contrary, my son is still young and has not experienced many years of worldly life.

As a result, I was severely beaten today!

This really made him extremely ashamed.

Cao Cao didn't want to compare with his son. After all, they were all members of the same family. Cao Ang was also his closest relative. Everything he owned in the future would belong to him. There was no comparison with something as empty as fame.

But he is sour!!!

After explaining so much and comforting himself a hundred times, he still couldn't help but feel a slight sour taste in his heart.

He is a dignified prefect of a county. He had previously served as a right-centered general and had held many high-ranking official positions earlier. He was considered a well-known and promising person.

As a result, the county magistrate named Chen Gong in front of him had no reaction at all after hearing his name, and he had no idea who he was.

He only showed some courtesy and respect that should be shown to a prefect, no more than that.

And when he asked to go into the city to rest for a night, Chen Gong used various excuses to evade the request and did not give in at all. Anyway, the city gate would not open.

It doesn’t matter where you are the governor of the place, or what kind of moral character you have, you just won’t open it.

Well, it's okay if you don't open the door.

I can only say that this guy is timid and cautious.

Then you should treat everyone equally!

How can you be arrogant before and respectful later?

Why did he show such respect and respect after hearing my son's name?

Ang'er doesn't even need to speak.

Chen Gong took the initiative to invite the whole family to the city to rest, and even lived directly in the county government office.

Should the difference in treatment be made so obvious?

Double standards are real dogs!

Of course, although he felt sour in his heart, there were some things that Cao Cao knew clearly. His son's good reputation was not easy to come by, and he could not be envied.

At that time, there were so many civil and military officials in the court meeting, but no one dared to stand up and lift up the Queen Mother and the Emperor who were kneeling on the ground. No one had the courage to face Dong Zhuo's murderous intent.

Even though he had always claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and dared to throw his own life and blood, he did not dare to act recklessly in that situation and did not dare to speak of courage at all.

But my son dares!

Not only did he dare to do this, he also succeeded in getting Dong Zhuo to back down, leaving Dong Zhuo speechless and could only express that he was wrong.

This requires not only courage, but also wisdom.

A fearless spirit is required!

Therefore, my precious son truly deserves the good reputation he has today that is resounding throughout the world.

On the other hand, although I had the merit of rescuing the Emperor, firstly, the risk was less than confronting Dong Zhuo in court. Secondly, there were not many witnesses and it was not widely spread.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Chen Gong does not know himself and has no reaction to his name, Cao Mengde.

After comforting myself in this way.

Cao Cao finally felt better.

But still smelling sour, he followed Cao Ang into Zhongmu County.

…………

Zhongmu County is not a small county.

At least the county office where Chen Gong lives is not small.

Cao Cao and his entire family arranged their rooms properly, and Cao Ang even let Queen Mother He and their carriage drive directly into the county government office, and after dispersing the others, they moved in quietly.

Only Cao Ang has this kind of treatment.

If it had been anyone else, Chen Gong would not have been so easy to talk to.

After each taking a bath.

The wind and sand all over my body caused by running around for days were finally completely washed away by the warmth of hot water.

The exhaustion all over the body disappeared without a trace after complete relaxation, and was replaced by a clean and refreshing feeling that invigorated one's spirit.

After changing clothes.

Several members of Cao Cao's family appeared at the banquet prepared by Chen Gong.

To be precise, it's a family dinner.

There were no singing and dancing, and no silk and bamboo performances. Chen Gong even invited his wife to have a meal together to show the closeness between the two parties.

Had dinner.

Chen Gong invited everyone to drink tea in the teahouse, and the female family members could take a walk in the county government office under the leadership of his wife.

However, Mrs. Ding and Diao Chan were a little tired after all, so they simply went back to their rooms and rested early.

Zhang Liao and Xun Yu were wise enough to know that the main people invited by Chen Gong were Cao Cao and Cao Ang, but they were inconvenient to participate, so they excused themselves from being tired and went back to the room first.

After there were only three people left in the tea room.

Chen Gong first boiled tea on the stove, and soon poured a bowl for each of the father and son.

Three rounds like this.

The conversation between them became lively.

Seeing that everyone has developed a friendship and become familiar with each other, I can ask some questions.

Chen Gong then cupped his hands and clasped his fists at the two of them, and then said with an inquiring look on his face: "I have been living in Zhongmou for a long time, and there is no information. If it weren't for the exchange of letters from friends and the passing of the caravan, I wouldn't know many things."

"May I ask how the situation is in Luoyang now?"

As soon as this statement came out.

The faces of the father and son, which were originally smiling, suddenly turned away from their smiles and turned into a somewhat heavy look.

"well!"

Cao Cao sighed.

He shook his head helplessly with a bitter look on his face.

"The situation is not optimistic. Dong Zhuo has now taken control of the entire city of Luoyang. All the officials in the court are impressed by his power. There is no objection from the government and the public. Very few people dare to risk their lives and body to go against Dong Zhuo."

"What's more, the emperor chosen by the late emperor himself has been deposed by Dong Zhuo and replaced by a little kid who is only a few years old. He is not even a puppet."

"Dong Zhuo is really no different from the emperor!"

As you say, the situation is very serious.

When Chen Gong heard this, his heart went cold.

My whole body just feels numb.

Dong Zhuo is just a treasonous person, this is the consensus in the minds of almost everyone at this moment.

But if Dong Zhuo is allowed to exercise the power of the emperor on behalf of the emperor, giving orders and commanding the officials, what if everyone gets used to it over time?

This is definitely a terrifying thing!

The power of habit is very powerful.

If more people get used to it, no one will stand up to oppose Dong Zhuo, and even those who stand up as righteous men and patriots will be accused of undermining the stability of the world.

Therefore, we must break this habit before it forms, and pull Dong Zhuo down before he gradually replaces the Emperor of Han, otherwise it will be too late.

…

Chen Gong felt a little heavy.

Dong Zhuo was so wreaking havoc in Luoyang that he regarded the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty as nothing, and did not take the heroes of the world into consideration.

But he, Chen Gong, could do nothing about it.

"well!"

A sense of helplessness and despair suddenly surged into his heart, causing Chen Gong to sigh involuntarily.

At this moment.

Cao Ang, who was originally silent, suddenly put down the tea bowl, then frowned and shouted.

"What's the point of a dignified man who doesn't think about killing thieves and serving the country, but instead sighs here?!"

Cao Ang's sudden scolding immediately stunned Chen Gong.

Somewhat unclear.
