Great Wei Nengchen

…………

In the back hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian were sitting side by side, tasting the freshly presented fragrant tea. Cao Pi knelt down to pay respects, his eyes were slightly red, and he seemed reluctant to part with him, but in fact he stayed up all night!

His wife Zhen Dao was kneeling beside her, her eyes were also red and swollen, not only did she not sleep all night, she even cried bitterly all night, holding Cao Rui in her arms, she slept soundly!

The woman's heart is soft, the second and fourth sons have just left Xuchang, and now the eldest son's family is leaving, Mrs. Bian showed a look of reluctance, and hugged Xiao Cao Rui, hugging her in her arms and kissing again and again.

Cao Cao was unmoved. He had been in the court for many years, and he had already seen through the heart of the old man. Although his son's acting skills were good, he couldn't hide his little trick of "retreating to advance" from his own eyes.

Now that Cao Zhang is on an expedition to the Western Regions, and Cao Xiong is going to the Qingzhou fiefdom, only Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are left by his side, and one of them must be made the heir!

Under such circumstances, Cao Pi must do everything possible to stay in Xuchang City to win the reserve, not to mention taking the initiative to return to Ye City, even if he is chased away, he will not leave. Today, he came here to bid farewell on purpose, but to gain sympathy!

"The weather is hot now, and Rui'er is young, so it's not suitable for long-distance travel. When the autumn cools down, it won't be too late for you to return to Ye City!"

"My child is the magistrate of Yecheng, if I don't return for a long time, I'm afraid it will delay the government affairs!"

"There are tens of thousands of officials in the imperial court. If you are missing, will the world collapse?"

"My son dare not, but follow my father's orders!"

After seeing through his son's little tricks, Cao Cao did not expose them, but rather appreciated them a little. As the son of a traitor, how could he not have a city?

Besides, Cao Cao also knew about the Goddess of Luoshui. He felt sympathy for the second son, but he was very dissatisfied with the fourth son. There are many beautiful women in the world, so why covet a married woman? Don't let the world laugh?

"Father and mother can rest at ease, and the child will leave for the time being!"

"Go!"

Finally staying in Xuchang City, Cao Pi was so happy that he didn't dare to show it on his face. He bowed to his wife again and then withdrew, but left his son Cao Rui behind. If he wants to compete for the position of the son, this is also a great help!

Mrs. Bian coaxed for a while, asked the maid to carry Cao Rui to the back, prepared to take care of the little grandson herself, and then asked the people around to retreat...

"My concubine came from a humble background, and thanks to the Prime Minister's unwavering support, I have the glory and wealth I have today. For 30 years, I have been abiding by my duties, taking care of my husband, teaching my children, comforting my family, and never daring to intervene in military and state affairs!

But today, forgive my concubine for being daring. Please, the prime minister, among the brothers Zihuan and Zijian, quickly appoint a son. If the fight continues, the hatred will deepen, and sooner or later the brothers will kill each other—— woo woo! "

Only the husband and wife were left in the room. Mrs. Bian suddenly fell to her knees, took off the jewelry on her head, took off her pair of shoes, and burst into tears with her bare feet...

Although she doesn't ask about military and national affairs, she is very clear about the struggle between her sons. She is really scratching her stomach and dying of pain. She is often awakened by nightmares at night, but she doesn't know what to do!

"Why is this so madam, Zihuan and Zijian are both your sons, so there is no reason why you should not love them as husbands, besides, in ordinary people's life, there are often disputes between brothers, once there is a foreign aggression, they will still unite as one!

Whether it is for the country or the family, as a husband, one of the two sons will be canonized as soon as possible. "

"The fiefdom must be far away, even if Xiang Ziwen is the same, it doesn't matter if you go to the ends of the world!"

Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward, helped his wife up, and personally helped put on the boots and headgear, promising to resolve the dispute as soon as possible and not let his sons kill each other.

After some comfort, Mrs. Bian finally stopped her tears and went back to her room to take care of her little grandson. Cao Cao sat alone in the room, sighing and sighing.

The heir is the foundation of the country. A wise and wise ruler will often spend more than ten years or even decades cultivating a qualified heir, receiving the best education, going through various trials, and then arranging the final arrangement. A capable minister!

Cao Cao is familiar with classics and history, so he naturally understands this truth. Therefore, at the beginning of the rise of the Caoying Group, he appointed his eldest son, Cao Ang, as the successor, and devoted a lot of effort to his cultivation. However, he fell in the Battle of Wancheng and spent more than ten years working hard on it. It's gone!

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road. The youngest son Cao Chong is extremely talented, benevolent and loving, and has the potential to become a generation of sages. Cao Cao couldn't help thinking about establishing a prince, and even deposed several legitimate sons!

It is a pity that God gave Cao Chong a bright mind, but not a good body. Because of congenital insufficiency, he could only live in seclusion in the mountains with two genius doctors, relying on soup and medicine to maintain his life every day!

Two consecutive failures to set up a reserve have consumed a lot of time and energy of Cao Cao, and severely damaged his will, making him mentally and mentally exhausted, while the external pressure is getting bigger and bigger...

On the one hand, the Han Dynasty is like a centipede, although it is dead but not stiff, the loyal ministers continue to set off coups, and the southern princes have not yet settled down. Cao Wei wants to replace the Han Dynasty, and this road is not easy!

On the other hand, Xiao Yi is both civil and military, and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, gradually forming a tendency to fight against courtesy. If he can't suppress this "greedy wolf", the country created by the Cao family will sooner or later be used as wedding clothes for others!

Under the double pressure from inside and outside, Cao Cao was forced to choose a new heir by "the method of raising Gu", that is, let the sons fight each other to the death, and then choose the smartest, most vicious, and strongest one!

Only in this way can the powerful officials be suppressed internally and the Han Dynasty be seized externally. After several contests, Cao Pi became the winner. Wenzhi, martial arts, strategy...all have remarkable points. If there is no accident, He is the chosen heir, which is also the reason why Cao Pi was deliberately trained to sit in Yecheng.

The problem is that although the heirs cultivated by the method of raising Gu are powerful and able to keep the Cao family's foundation, they also have a big trouble, that is, their hearts are too dark and their hands are too ruthless!

For a monarch, this is not a bad thing, but for a son or elder brother, it is not a good thing!

There are many dignitaries in the past dynasties, and there are many brothers and sisters. Didn’t the first emperor die, and the first thing the second emperor did when he succeeded to the throne was to kill all of his forty brothers and 20 sisters?

As parents, there are those who don’t love their children, especially after Cao Cao entered old age, his ambition to be a traitor weakened, and his father’s heart surged, and he fell in love with family happiness more and more. I hope that the children are safe and safe, and worry that they will kill each other!

This wonderful change of mentality also affected the issue of heirs. The traitor gradually favored Cao Zhi, entrusting him with important tasks and giving him a mansion. This son is flashy and far inferior to Cao Pi in ability, but he has one advantage: he is kind-hearted!

If Cao Zhi is in power, he will never hurt his brothers and sisters, but will give him glory and wealth. This is what Cao Cao wants to see most. Can this son's ability, I am afraid it is difficult to defend?

The capable heart is too ruthless, and the kind-hearted one is not capable enough, which makes Cao Cao in a dilemma. His determination to establish a reserve has changed again and again, causing Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to be in the same situation, and the Cao Ying Group is also splitting...

"If either Zixiu or Cangshu is safe, how can this old man have no savings to stand on? What a revenge!"

"You can't have your cake and eat it at the same time. Whether the old man is a monarch or a father, what's the matter-poof!"

"Master Prime Minister!"

Overthinking hurts the body the most. Cao Cao felt dizzy for a while, his chest heaved a few times, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he collapsed on the ground...

Hearing that there was something wrong in the house, Xu Chu rushed in instantly. He was shocked and wanted to call the doctor to come and treat him, but Cao Cao shook his head to stop him and motioned to close the doors and windows!

The civil uprising has just subsided, and people's hearts have gradually stabilized. If the news of him vomiting blood spreads, he may cause a lot of trouble again, and the conflict between the two sons seizing the reserve will also erupt immediately, and it will be difficult to deal with.

"Keep quiet...get the medicine!"

"Master Prime Minister, take care of yourself!"

"Get the medicine... come here!"

"promise!"

For Cao Cao's order, Xu Chu has always been regarded as a god, even if he is asked to go to the palace to kill the king and draw his sword to kill relatives, he will never hesitate for a moment, but this time he hesitated, with a look of pain and struggle on his face!

But under Cao Cao's urging eyes, Xu Chu still walked to the bedside, took out a white jade bottle from the hidden compartment, and opened it to emit a strange fragrance. Inside were some bright red pills the size of broad beans!

He took one pill and stuffed it into Cao Cao's mouth, and took another gulp of strong wine to stimulate the efficacy of the medicine. Then Xu Chu cleaned up the blood and mess without leaving any traces, but his tiger eyes were full of worry!

After the failure of the Southern Expedition, Cao Cao's vitality was seriously injured. It was only by taking this elixir and forcibly cheering up his spirits that he was able to deal with major military affairs. As time went by, the amount of medicine he took became larger and larger. Before, one pill a day was enough, but now At least three or four pills!

Taking the medicine of tiger and wolf can make people energetic for a while, but it will cause great harm to the body and seriously shorten the life span. The ghost-Guo Jia is a lesson from the past. Now the prime minister repeats the same mistakes. If one day... Sigh!

The elixir took effect very quickly, Cao Cao's pale face became rosy again, his body also gained strength, his eyes gathered again, and he regained his traitorous posture!

However, Cao Cao also understands that his time is probably running out, and the matter of establishing a reserve must be resolved as soon as possible, and there are several important military affairs that cannot be delayed any longer... such as avenging old revenge, eliminating internal troubles, and becoming a prince!

"Thank you Zhongkang, is there anything happening outside?"
