Chapter 214 Confucian scholars of the gentry are strongly dissatisfied, Cao Ang goes to Xuzhou(2/2)
At this time, Cao Cao did not kill as much as in the original history. Instead, he promoted benevolent policies and gave the war-torn people a chance to settle down and live a life.
The people whose families were destroyed due to the Battle of Xuzhou also had new homes, which made them very grateful to Cao Cao.
Furthermore, the eldest son, Cao Ang, was filial, well-informed and courteous, and had a good reputation since childhood. Therefore, his arrival soon attracted the welcome of many people.
Not long after, the nobles also arrived.
A group of people and horses came towards me, like a long dragon.
The person walking at the front of the team was wearing a snow-white robe, with a gentle and elegant temperament and a calm expression.
This person is Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao!
Knowing that Cao Ang was bringing people from Xuchang, Xi Yu had already led everyone at the door to wait for Cao Ang.
Cao Ang rode to the gate of the government office. A general helped Cao Ang dismount. Cao Ang then quickly came to Xi Yu, bent down and bowed, "Ang'er has met my uncle."
Seeing Cao Ang coming at this moment, Xi Yu was very satisfied and said with a smile, "It's good that you arrived safely. Ang'er doesn't have to be polite."
Xi Yu was even more delighted: Cao Cao really knew what I wanted. He must have known that the gentry in Xuzhou were dissatisfied with the policy of running a school, so he specially sent Cao Ang to help him.
Xi Yu knew very well that although the nobles in Xuzhou City had long lost their real power and all the officials had been replaced, if these nobles secretly caused mischief, they could definitely create a lot of unexpected trouble for him.
At this time, Cao Ang smiled and said to Xi Yu, "Uncle, please wait for me for a moment."
After saying this, Cao Ang immediately turned around and walked towards the people not far away.
At this moment, Cao Ang looked majestic and resolute, somewhat like Cao Cao.
Seeing this, Chen Deng and others were very happy. A group of nobles immediately pushed Chen Deng and whispered, "Yuanlong, hurry up and say something to Mr. Cao!
Chen Deng hesitated a little, but was pushed by the person behind him. Chen Deng was immediately pushed out of the crowd and stood in front of the crowd. Someone said behind him, "Yuanlong, as long as you take the lead in complaining to Mr. Cao, we will definitely follow you."
Later, I will advance and retreat with you."
"Yes, Yuanlong, hurry up and find Mr. Cao. We Xuzhou nobles are all relying on you!!"
Being so recommended by everyone, Chen Deng's heart sank. He was about to sue Xi Yu to Cao Ang, but Cao Ang suddenly pulled out his sword with a "clunk" sound!
There was a crisp sound, which was very harsh, and the sword's blade flashed with light, like a cold light hitting people's hearts.
Cao Ang's move made the crowd, which was chatting constantly, suddenly quiet down.
Xi Yu even recognized the sword in Cao Ang's hand. This sword was Cao Cao's sword, the Qingzhi Sword.
This sword was forged using hundreds of steel-making methods, then tempered, and then beaten repeatedly by Dian Wei to obtain this sword.
"Everyone!!"
Just when everyone was shocked and confused, Cao Ang suddenly said in a loud voice, "I am the legitimate son of the current Prime Minister, Cao Ang, the Lieutenant of the Han Dynasty!"
"This green sword is a gift from my father. Hold this sword to kill traitors and get rid of traitors!"
"Now, Mr. Xiyuxi is encountering resistance in starting a new school. My father specially ordered me to enter the school as a teacher, and asked me to teach Confucianism, filial piety, integrity, and the principles of benevolence and righteousness!
"My father, the Prime Minister, even ordered me to teach Confucian classics. He also specially asked me to carry more than 2,000 Confucian classics books and give them to the opera master to help fund the school!"
Cao Ang paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "From today on, if there are still people in Xuzhou City who oppose Master Xi's running of the school, or who dare to obstruct the running of the school, I will kill them immediately with this sword!"
As he spoke, Cao Ang looked resolute and even more murderous.
…
As soon as Cao Ang said these words, needles could be heard all around.
After a while, the poor family and the common people took the lead in discussing in low voices.
"Based on Mr. Cao's remarks, someone in the court must be supporting Master Xi's plan to run a school. From this point of view, Master Xi did not deceive us!!"
"Why do you want to deceive us, Master Xi? Our children are studying engineering. After completing our studies, we will go to the military camp to manufacture armaments. It will definitely be a great achievement!"
"As long as you make meritorious deeds, you will have the opportunity to rise to great heights, or even become famous!"
"So, if we ordinary people learn a good craft, we will have the opportunity to become officials, and even have the opportunity to rise to the top?!"
"Great, such a great opportunity, why should we hesitate? Enroll now!!"
"Yes, I will enroll in school too!"
For a time, the poor families and common people who had been feeling inferior and hesitant before entered the school one after another to apply for admission.
Seeing this, a group of nobles and nobles looked at each other, and they all screamed inwardly: They thought they could sue Xi Yu in front of Mr. Cao, but who would have thought that they were here to support Xi Yu.
Now that Chen Deng has been pushed out, if Xi Yu is not the one who sued him, I don’t know if he will really be killed by Cao Ang!
At this time, Xi Yu happened to see Chen Deng standing in front of the crowd. Seeing his nervous expression, he asked, "Yuanlong, do you have something to say when you come here?"
Chen Deng suddenly trembled and thought to himself: What should I do?
Suddenly, Chen Deng noticed that Cao Ang had looked towards him. Chen Deng suddenly became more nervous and frightened, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Cao Ang now supports Xi Yu's plan to run a school in front of everyone. If he, Chen Deng, dares to oppose it in public, wouldn't he be seeking death?
A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate consequences. Chen Deng quickly clenched his fists and said with a smile against his will, "I do have something to say!"
Chen Deng paused and said, "In the past two days, I have been thinking hard about Master Xi's strategy for running a school. This is simply unprecedented and unprecedented. I admire you very much!"
"Last night, I was so excited that I stayed up all night, just thinking about coming to the school today, hoping that the drama master would allow me to enroll as a teacher. I will definitely try my best to teach the orphans of the fallen soldiers!"
Chen Deng's words immediately attracted Xi Yu's praise, "It's no wonder that Mr. Yuan Long, a member of the Chen family, is truly benevolent, righteous and enlightened, and a hero in this world!!"
…
"What...is going on?"
"How about you, Chen Yuanlong?!"
"You go back on your word and act according to the circumstances, you despicable villain!"
"In my opinion, Chen Yuanlong might be an undercover agent sent by Xi Yu!"
Chen Deng's clever words made a group of gentry members suddenly dumbfounded and filled with hatred in their hearts.
However, some people began to envy Chen Deng. After hearing what the opera master said, Chen Deng can become an official again?
traitor!
The nobles all felt that Chen Deng was just acting, so they got the opportunity to become an official, and at the same time earned a good reputation for supporting the establishment of schools.
It's so despicable and shameless!
"Chen Yuanlong is really not a simple person..."
"With such deep scheming, this person will definitely be able to occupy a high position."
"Haha, in order to please Mr. Xi, he would betray the entire Xuzhou noble clan. How can he not be in a high position with such scheming intentions!"
"I'm so angry! I'm really angry and uncomfortable. No, huh, I have to go to his house tonight to make a fuss, just to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
The group of scholars were so angry that no one expected that Chen Deng was actually an undercover agent sent by Xi Yu.
"I heard that Xi Yu has a far-reaching plan before, but I didn't expect that he is really insidious!"
…
Seeing that Chen Deng had surrendered to Xi Yu, the gentry and Confucian scholars had no choice but to curse and leave the Yamen School. However, in order to relieve their hatred, they rushed to Chen Deng's home one after another.
