Chapter 448: National Guardian! [Subscribe]

The Cao family opened a private school starting from the year before last.

The eldest princess, the second son born to Cao Cao and Bian Mei, and other children of school age all went to school in the school when they reached the age.

Cao Cao felt that it was a waste of learning resources to use the best teachers of the time to teach only his own children.

So the descendants of Xun Yu and other families, as well as some descendants of Cao and Xiahou families, were asked to send their children here.

In recent years, the number of school-age children has increased, and now there are more than thirty of them.

From four to seven years old, there are two classes, big and small.

The education content for children in the Han Dynasty was simple, including literacy, calligraphy practice, and basic arithmetic.

The teaching team included Cai Yong, Wen Ji, Zhong Yao, and even Zheng Xuan would come to teach when he was free.

They are all great writers who are famous in later generations.

There were more than thirty children, some of whom were talented and could write enlightenment poems at the age of six or seven.

The booklet that Wen Ji gave to Cao Cao contained the content of the lessons for these children.

Every once in a while, the teacher would test us on words, calligraphy, and arithmetic addition and subtraction.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is the second among more than thirty children.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, following his elder sister’s example, is the third.

But they are all countdown.

When it comes to learning characters and arithmetic, the brother and sister are second to last and third to last in the class.

The last one is Xiahou Yuan's youngest son. He is big and strong, and has made it his responsibility to protect the princess and the prince since he was young.

His father has taught him everything, and we have to cover for the eldest princess and the second prince.

So the child handed in a blank paper.

When Cao Cao saw the siblings' results, he was struck by lightning.

Historically, Boss Cao was famous for teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. All of his descendants were academic masters, and some of them were rare geniuses.

His ability in educating children is beyond doubt.

After traveling through time, many things have changed, and turning the kids from top students into poor students is one of them?
I've been busy with government affairs and haven't taught by example much, so it should still be in time to save them... Cao Cao comforted himself.

Wen Ji was just joking, but when she saw that he looked unhappy after seeing her daughter and son's results, she felt a little regretful. She took the booklet back from Cao Cao and said softly:

"My husband is so concerned about state affairs because I didn't teach him well. Please don't worry.

They are all very smart, but they love to play. Qing'er is a little too naughty. "

Qing'er is the eldest princess's nickname, as her family members call her.

"Hurry up, hurry up, make your move quickly."

Cai Yong urged him on, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and restore order between his father-in-law and son-in-law.

During the Han Dynasty, the rule of Go was that the white player moved first.

Both sides place two pieces, i.e. seats, on the four star positions (diagonal star layout) to determine the black and white sides, each occupying two corners.

The main chess games during the Han Dynasty included Go, Xiangqi, Liubo, and Tanqi.

Cao Cao and Cai Yong were both well-informed and had strong memory skills, as well as great chess skills.

The two sides started the game with black getting the corner and white getting the edge, and the moves were made very quickly.

You have one son, I have one son.

Using the counting method to calculate the outcome, Cao Cao began to lose in the middle game.

Cai Yong was in high spirits and radiant. He swept away two of Cao Cao's little dragons in a row. His advantage became increasingly obvious and he finally secured the victory.

Cai Yong knew when to quit and stopped playing after one round. "I'm willing to admit defeat. From today on, I'll call you Yue Weng."

Cai Yong ran away after winning the game of chess, because it was not easy to defeat Cao Cao once.

He planned to show off to Yu Wen, Shui Jing, Pang Degong and others.

These people were the foundation of the Great Wei, including Zhang Huai and Tong Yuan. Some of them traveled around, traveling around the mountains and rivers, while others lived in Yecheng.

Cai Yong also took his granddaughter away. Showing off his granddaughter and apprentices was also a regular activity for the old men.

"Husband."

Wen Ji put her arm around Cao Cao's neck and sat down, whispering softly, "Are you giving in to your father?"

In the game of chess just now, Cao Cao did give in secretly.

Cai Yong is getting older, so let him have a game of chess to cheer him up.

Wen Ji was extremely intelligent. Cai Yong didn't notice it, but she saw it clearly.

Cao Cao gave up the chess and prepared to make amends: "Call me daddy."

"No."

Wen Ji's face was full of shyness, and from her expression one could tell that she had tried this before and was well aware of the special meaning behind it.

The couple also started playing chess, placing pieces like rain, quickly and sharply, with clear sounds.

Wen Ji lost miserably...

The sky is full of stars.

The weather in May is already quite hot.

After bathing, Da Qiao changed into her middle clothes and leaned on the couch to do her maid work.

Seeing Cao Cao coming, she twisted her waist from the couch, picked up her embroidered shoes with her white feet, and came forward with the shoes on to help Cao Cao take off his coat:
"Your Majesty, why did you come so early today?"

Boss Cao liked to visit in the middle of the night. The concubines all knew his habit and would not be used to him if he came too early.

After bathing, Da Qiao's pretty face was rosy, her neck was a jade-like clavicle, and even her two bone dimples were very delicate. Her skin was as white as cream and dazzlingly white.

Further down, it becomes more turbulent...

She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world. Even someone like me who is not moved by women finds it difficult to control myself... Boss Cao led his concubine back to the couch.

After they talked for a while, they gradually got into the mood.

Half an hour later, Da Qiao, who was too weak to resist, was taken to Xiao Qiao's bedroom next door.

Xiao Qiao had just fallen asleep. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw that it was Cao Cao. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and turned her body to indicate that she wanted to sleep more.

But she was immediately pulled up by Cao Cao to exercise.

Xiao Qiao only saw her sister at the side at this time. She cried out softly and hid herself under the quilt...

The night is long.

In the early morning of the next day, when Cao Cao got up, the two sisters were by his side, with two lively faces, charming and seductive.

Boss Cao came out of the bedroom, feeling quite unsatisfied and planning to come again tonight.

He entered the quiet room and began to practice.

Ever since he broke through the mythical realm, some special changes have occurred in his practice.

The most intuitive thing is the improvement of the five senses, and the perception of space and all things has reached a level that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Recently, he saw ripples like water waves in space twice.

Sometimes, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of tides rising from deep in space.

His perception of the changes in seasons and weather was astonishingly accurate. In the realm of mythology, it was as if he could touch some secrets hidden beneath the surface of heaven and earth.

At this time, Cao Cao finished his one-hour training and saw a push of an entry in front of him:
[The Shang Dynasty's national treasure was found in the Shang king's tomb]

In that big tomb, Dao Zun, Ling Jin, and Li Wufang finally came to the depths of the tomb.

The main tomb chamber has a six-step jade platform with a throne on top.

Behind the throne, there is a coffin.

In front of the jade platform, there is a bronze tripod with three legs and two ears.

"Shang King Ding!" Ling Jin blurted out.

During the Shang Dynasty, people worshipped sacrifices, consulted heaven and earth on all matters, and used divination to determine good and bad luck.

Some records left in ancient books once recorded that the Shang Dynasty had a tripod that was the guardian of the country.

Legend has it that it can carry the secrets of heaven.

The Shang king used it to suppress the fate of the country and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

Regarding the Shang Dynasty Ding, some people associate it with the Nine Dings and believe that it is one of the Nine Yu Dings.

Before the fall of the Shang Dynasty, this tripod disappeared.

The large tripod in front of you has a folded rim and a square lip, a deep belly and a round bottom, hoof-shaped round feet, and six groups of animal face patterns under its mouth, with cloud and thunder patterns as the base.

What’s special is that the cauldron carries the destiny, like chaos evaporating.

This shape of tripod, and its ability to carry luck, was too magical, so Ling Jin blurted out that it was a tripod from the Shang Dynasty.

Among the tripods in the world, there are only three or four sacred objects, such as the Nine Tripods, the Shennong Tripod, and the Yin and Shang Tripod, that have such a majestic aura!

"If we can get this tripod back, it will become a vital tool for the destiny of our Great Wei nation and a tremendous achievement," Ling Jin said excitedly.

"But you can't move it!"

Li Wufang: "If it is really the Shang King's Tripod, it carries the destiny of the country and must be as heavy as mountains and rivers. Unless you are an emperor, whose destiny is integrated with it, it will be impossible to move it."

Ling Jin was stunned.

Li Wufang turned around and looked at the tomb passage behind him:

"Did you notice that after we approached the main tomb chamber, the thing that had been following you retreated?"

Ling Jin hummed.

They had gone through many dangerous days and just before arriving at the main tomb chamber, they passed by a human sacrifice pit.

As soon as you get close, it feels like you have entered the underworld of hell.

At that time, the Taoist master used a bronze seal and the Three Emperors Coffin.

Using the bronze seal to suppress the human sacrifice pit and push the coffins of the Three Emperors, they were able to find the correct direction and finally arrived at the main tomb chamber.

Ling Jin looked at the Taoist Master. If he hadn't come in with him, he would have died.

"Dao Zun, the seal you used just now..."

"It's what you were thinking of."

Daozun interrupted Ling Jin and walked into the main tomb chamber first, heading towards the tripod.

As he approached, there was a sudden movement from the bronze coffin behind the throne.

The sound sounded like someone was inside the coffin, sliding a sharp blade against the coffin wall, and it was harsh and sharp.

The Taoist raised his hand and offered up an object, which fell on the wall of the coffin. It turned out to be a very small copper seal.

The base of the bronze seal is engraved with nine small hills that look like stick figures.

The amazing thing is that the heaven and earth on the seal are suspended upside down, and the nine mountains exist upside down.

As soon as the bronze seal fell, the coffin became silent.

Ling Jin followed beside the Taoist Master and came to the cauldron first. After observing for a moment, he reached out his hand to support the wall of the cauldron and suddenly exerted force.

The big tripod didn't move at all.

Even if Ling Jin tried his best, he could not move him at all.

He withdrew his hand awkwardly and said, "This tripod is really hard to move. I can't take it away at all."

"Look at the mouth of the tripod!"

There was a chaotic energy flowing in the cauldron, and in the dim light it seemed that something was swimming and flying inside the cauldron, changing in countless ways and in an extremely strange and bizarre manner.

"It is recorded in ancient books that the Shang Dynasty was born from the fall of the black bird. The King Ding of the Shang Dynasty was transformed from the black bird that fell from the sky and was born at the same time as the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty.

The thing flying in the cauldron looks like a big black bird!" Li Wufang stared at the mouth of the cauldron.

At this time, the things in the tripod sank into the depths and disappeared without a trace.

The Taoist Master also stretched out his hand and lifted the giant tripod up from the ground, holding it in his hand.

Ling Jin was stunned and asked: "Why can you pick it up?"

"You're holding it wrong."

Dao Zun tried the tripod and found that it could be taken away, then put it back to its original position:

"There are many gold and silver items in the burial chamber of this tomb. Let someone come in and take them."

“But don’t come into the main tomb again. The Shang king in the coffin used this tripod to absorb the energy of the earth veins to warm his remains.

Taking the tripod away will definitely lead to unexpected events.

I will stay here to watch over it. When you have taken the gold and silver, come and tell me. We will retreat together and take the tripod later."

The Taoist Master actually sat on the coffin behind the throne, closed his eyes and meditated, not saying a word.

……

Cao Cao withdrew his gaze from the tomb of the Shang king and walked out of the quiet room.

That afternoon, he had some free time and examined the map again in his study.

After taking over Buyeo, should we deal with the Xianbei first, or take over Goguryeo first?

"How long has it been since Xun Sima sent the letter to Goguryeo?"

"32 days."

Zhen Mi was wearing a light rose-colored long skirt. She was copying a scroll with a bamboo pen in her fair hands. She raised her eyes and glanced at Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao returned from his expedition, he asked Xun Yu to write a letter to Goguryeo.

Calculating the time, it was time to reach Goguryeo.

Cao Cao lowered his gaze on the map and looked towards the coastal area.

Three days ago, the first batch of gold mined from Japan was sent to Langya County on the eastern coast, and the yield was quite rich.

At present, the Wei Dynasty has more and more ships and has the ability to initially explore the sea borders.

For several countries near the coast to the south, the time has also come for reconnaissance and landing.

While Cao Cao was thinking, a eunuch brought him a stack of memorials, waiting for his approval.

Jiang Gan, the minister in charge of foreign affairs, Taichang, who was in charge of ancestral temple sacrifices and rituals of ghosts and gods, and Zhuge Liang entered the study one after another.
