Great Wei Nengchen

It's different now, all signs show that the fourth son-Cao Zhi is about to win, and the officials have to express it, because it is too dangerous to express it early, and it is not worth much if it is late. Now is the perfect time!

"Son of Changyi Tinghou, come to pay a visit to Mr. Zijian, and congratulate you on the housewarming!"

"Son of Changling Tinghou, come to pay a visit to Young Master Zijian, and I will give you a generous gift!"

…………

In front of Cao Zhi's new mansion~~there was a lot of traffic, and there were many visitors day and night, seven or eight of the thresholds were kicked and broken, and there were countless gifts, which filled the back warehouse to the brim!

Even the important ministers like Man Chong and Jiang Ji took action. Due to their bad status, they sent their sons out in person and gave them generous gifts. This is their attitude of support!

Faced with the flattery of his ministers, Cao Zhi was naturally very proud. He kept holding banquets in the mansion, drank heavily day and night, indulged in debauchery, and wrote several poems in succession. , even known as a handed down work!

There were also some important ministers: Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang Yun, Gao Shun...but there was no movement for a long time. They always followed Xiao Yi's lead. Seeing that Da Sima didn't make a statement, they naturally kept silent!

Besides, seeing Cao Zhi's triumphant approach to the reserve position step by step, there was a person who couldn't sleep or eat, and went crazy with jealousy-Cao Pi!

………………

In the alley in the north of Xuchang City, there is a small courtyard, which is divided into front and back two floors, with about twenty houses. The black painted gates and bluestone steps outside are very ordinaryly decorated, without the slightest sense of wealth, except for the courtyard walls. As high as more than ten feet...

The gate is usually closed, and only a few servants live there, and they seldom communicate with neighbors. It is declared to the outside: This is a Xuzhou businessman who bought property in the capital, but in fact, this is a private house of Cao Pi!

All the sons of the prime minister's mansion will be given a mansion when they become adults, and Cao Pi has more than ten mansions in Xuchang and Yecheng. However, there are some things that are better done in private houses, such as Jinwo Zangjiao, or conspiracy. Take the place!

"Second Young Master Qi, all the adults are here one after another!"

"Very well, let them in!"

"promise!"

At night, Cao Pi sat in the main hall, sipped the tea slowly, and made a peaceful and elegant appearance, but in his eyes, there was a raging flame--the fire of ambition!

More than a dozen confidantes and dead soldiers, armed with long swords and short knives, guarded the gate, back door, corners, roof... to prevent anyone from peeping into the courtyard, and secretly arranged manpower at the entrances at both ends of the alley outside to report any trouble.

A moment later, under the guidance of the dead man, more than a dozen men in black walked in. They were all wearing large cloaks and covered their entire body tightly. Not to mention their appearance, they couldn't even distinguish their genders!

"I'm waiting to join the Second Young Master!"

"Excuse me, thank you guys for coming tonight. Those who help me in the same boat will share the glory and wealth in the future!"

"promise!"

After the doors and windows were closed and the dead soldiers guarded the surroundings firmly, these people took off their cloaks and bowed to Cao Pi to salute. They are:

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, the young and strong faction among the generals of the clan, are highly valued by Cao Cao, and now they are in charge of the Imperial City Guards!

Xin Pi and Xin Ping, who came from a famous family in Hebei, used to be Yuan's subordinates, and later took refuge in Cao Ying. Now one is the head of the Xiangfu, and the other is the head of the Xiangfu!

Chen Qun, the incumbent Taicang Commander, is in charge of all officials' salaries, military expenditures...he is a well-known internal affairs talent!

There are also Yang Shuo, Deng Zhan, etc., who are either resourceful people, or officials with real power, and the last person, Xiangfu Literary Officer-Sima Yi!

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the simple and unpretentious Second Young Master used various methods of communication, recruitment, and bribery to gather a large number of talents as his party members in seven or eight years!

Cao Pi convened everyone tonight, not drinking and eating meat, reciting poems, but discussing a major matter: how to suppress Cao Zhi and seize the position of the son of the world!

"It's an ancient rule to give birth to a concubine first and then to a concubine. If my brother is alive, no one would dare to fight with him. However, my brother is dead, and I am the eldest son, so I should inherit the inheritance!

Zijian disregarded the family rules and ancestral system, and dared to peek at the position of the son. If he is talented, benevolent and loving, and has the ability to rule the world, it is not unreasonable for my son to abdicate and let the virtuous!

However, Zi Jian is flashy but not real, arrogant and extravagant, if the world falls into his hands, he will be completely defeated sooner or later. For the sake of the common people, for the sake of the ancestors, I must fight! "

Cao Pi went straight to the point and made clear his intention to compete for the reserve. This is a life-and-death game. Once you join, it is difficult to quit. Especially as the eldest son, you will never retreat, and you will die if you don’t live!

I don’t see in history, what happened to the eldest sons of the emperor who were abolished? Qin Emperor’s son Fusu committed suicide, Emperor Jing’s prince Liu Rong committed suicide, and Emperor Wu’s prince Liu Ju committed suicide...Even if the eldest son has no intention of fighting for the throne, he will have consequences for his successor. Threat, so must die!

In addition, Cao Zhi recently made "Luo Shen Fu": the neck is stretched, the quality is exposed, the fragrance is not added, the lead is beautiful, the cloud is high, the eyebrows are beautiful... The peerless beauty described in it is said to be a Zhen surname Woman, could it be his wife Zhen Dao?

Thinking that after Cao Zhi came to power, he would not only cut off his own head, but also occupy his own woman, Cao Pi's eyes spewed fire, and he vowed to fight to the death, otherwise his grave would be green under the Nine Springs!

"The family has the eldest son, and the state has the crown prince. We can contact the ministers and jointly write a letter to the prime minister to make the second son the son of Wei!"

"Our brothers contacted the Cao and Xiahou surnames, fully supported the second son, and became the eldest son of Wei as the eldest son!"

"Don't rush this matter. If you offend the Prime Minister, I'm afraid it will backfire. If Da Sima is willing to say a word, it will be more useful than us saying a thousand or ten thousand words!"

…………

They are all grasshoppers on the same rope. If Cao Pi fails to fight for the reserve, no one sitting here will end well, so they all offer suggestions and discuss how to turn the situation around!

But everyone also knows that Cao Cao has the right to make the decision to establish a reserve, and the only one who can influence and change this decision is Da Sima. , that is also useless!

Until midnight, they still couldn't think of a good way, everyone was a little depressed, Yang Shuo was impatient, he touched the hilt of his sword frequently, and looked at Cao Pi, obviously thinking of assassinating him!

Cao Pi pondered for a while, but shook his head firmly. There are many guards around Cao Zhi, not to mention whether the assassination can be successful, even if it is a fluke, who can guarantee that he will not show his feet?

After the father entered old age, he was always worried that his sons would kill each other. If he found out that he had his brother's blood in his hands, the consequences would be disastrous!

The secret meeting didn't dare to last long, so Cao Pi asked everyone to separate and go back to think about ways to turn things around, while he sat in the main hall, as if he had no intention of leaving!

"Second Young Master, the night is getting dark, shall we go back to the manor?"

"Don't worry, close the door and leave a gap in the back door, someone will come back later!"

"promise!"

Chapter 1416 The battle of Qianlong is extremely dangerous ([-])

The first watch, the second watch, and the third watch passed, and Cao Pi sat in the hall, his expression calm. Since ancient times, those who want to achieve great things must use wisdom as their armor, faith as their shield, and courage as their sword... As for "forbearance" Two words? It is a superb martial arts move!

"Swipe!--Swipe!"

At four o'clock, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and a ghostly black figure walked in, led by the confidant of the dead, and took off the wide cloak, revealing the face of the eagle watching the wolf, it was Sima Yi who had gone and returned .

"Let the second son wait for a long time, I am ashamed!"

"Hehe, good things take time, Zhong Da, please sit down, have a cup of tea and talk slowly!"

"Thank you for sitting and tea!"

Sima Yi was born in a famous family, both civil and military, and his style of behavior is extremely forbearing, so he got the title of "Tonghu". Before that, he served in the Xuanjia Army, and made great achievements in the battles to pacify Bingzhou and Liaodong. Xiao Yi promoted him to Zhechong Colonel. He was forcibly conscripted by Cao Cao and served in the prime minister's mansion!

I thought that if I entered the prime minister's mansion, I would be promoted and reused. I didn't want to become a literary scholar. To put it bluntly, I was a librarian. I drank tea and read books every day, and wandered east and west. It was so leisurely and boring. go Ape!

Five or six years have passed in the blink of an eye. The people of the same age who entered the officialdom together either fought in the battlefield and made meritorious deeds; or governed the people and rose step by step. , has been standing still.

However, after staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, I gradually became acquainted with Cao Pi and became a member of the small group. However, Sima Yi, who is nameless and has no power, can only be a marginal member and is not valued by others. We discussed countermeasures just now. At that time, he didn't say a word!
