Great Wei Nengchen

"When you took office, you said it yourself to your child, don't be anxious, don't be impatient, and be at ease. The day of Qingzhou's great rule is the time when father and son meet. I didn't think that I would say goodbye on that day, and I will say goodbye to this life forever-woo woo! "

……

"My condolences, Your Highness. People cannot be brought back to life after death. Don't break your body from crying. The king's heroic spirit is immortal, and he will know your filial piety!"

In Linzi City-Zhou Mu Mansion, there is a coffin shed built high, and there are endless mourning and joy. White sails, white banners, and white tents are hung everywhere. Even the gates, trees, and wells in the mansion are wrapped in white cloth, and everyone is filial.

White flowers are strewn all around the spirit shed, on it there is a black character "Dian" more than one foot high, and there are three offerings of pigs, cattle, and sheep, as well as candlesticks, sandalwood, and long-burning lamps. The great regent of the ancient Han Dynasty - the spiritual seat of King Wu of Wei! '

Cao Zhi was dressed in heavy filial piety, knelt in front of the coffin and wailed loudly, his eyes were swollen into peaches, and more than a hundred Qingzhou officials knelt behind and wept together to sacrifice, and comforted the fourth son by the way!

Many people sighed in their hearts, the fourth young master is unrestrained, addicted to alcohol, and often does some deviant things, unexpectedly he is a filial son, crying is touching!

How did they know that Cao Zhi cried so sadly, half of it was for his dead father, and the other half was for himself!

It turned out that Cao Cao weighed for a long time on the matter of establishing a reserve. Although he finally chose his second son, Cao Pi, he did not completely give up on his fourth son, Cao Zhi. Will and ability!

If Cao Pi has three strengths and two weaknesses, or makes a political mistake, he will be replaced by Cao Zhi, so as to avoid the vacancy of the position of son and shake the rule of the Cao family.

After Cao Zhi came to Linzi, he didn't lose his desire to fight for reserves. On the one hand, he used his status as a herdsman in Qingzhou to recruit talents, train soldiers and horses, save money and food, and secretly expand his strength.

On the one hand, he dispatched a large number of people to monitor the situation in the court and contact civil servants and generals who are close to him, hoping to find an opportunity to return to the prime minister's mansion and seize the position of the son!

The battle of Qianlong is extremely dangerous and even more capricious. Not only at the last moment, no one dares to claim victory lightly!

The son Fusu, the first emperor's eldest son, was also the intended heir. What happened? After all, he failed to become the second emperor of Qin, and ended up committing suicide instead!

Prince Liu Shi, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had been the crown prince for 30 years, but failed to take over his father's seat. Instead, he was involved in a witchcraft incident, and ended up fleeing the capital and hanging himself to death.

Therefore, for several years, Cao Zhi has been looking forward to day and night, that he can return to Xuchang and make a comeback... But after looking forward to it, he waited for the news of his father's death and his brother's succession. Now it is completely hopeless.

Because of the battle for the reserve position, the brothers of the Cao family are in dire straits. Now that Cao Pi is king of Wei and prime minister of Han, how should he deal with his "good brother"?

Not to mention official positions, titles, etc., I am afraid that even the lives of himself and his wives, concubines and children will be difficult to save. Thinking of the tragic situation in the future, how can Cao Zhi not cry?

"Your Highness has been guarding the spirit for a whole day and night, and he is exhausted. You should take a rest first. Your Majesty Quan knows, and I don't want your body to suffer!"

"That's fine, the prince will rest for a while, and you will continue to wait here, and make sacrifices to the late king. Don't dare to extinguish the ever-burning lamp!"

"No, please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Cao Zhi is also a smart person, knowing that tears can't solve the problem, so under the persuasion of the attendants, he went back to the back hall for the time being, and simply used some tea and snacks. Withdrew, not daring to disturb him.

The current situation is very unfavorable, how can I save myself, the lives of my wives, concubines and children, and have a good life of prosperity and wealth?

Hand over the military and political power of Qingzhou, and immediately return to Xuchang City, in front of the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, with bare feet, pleading guilty, and begging the forgiveness of the new Wei King Qiantui?

My second elder brother is generous on the outside but sinister on the inside, and his methods are even more ruthless. I'm afraid he won't let him go. Even if his mother and sisters come forward to protect him, he can only save one life, but he cannot escape the fate of being under house arrest for a lifetime!

Cao Zhi is only 21 years old this year. Thinking of the next few decades, he will have to stay in a high-walled and deep courtyard, unable to go out for a step, nor play with friends, and be watched day and night. In those days, life is worse than death !

Or take wives, concubines and children, collect some gold, silver and jewels, and escape from the territory of the big man...flee to Mobei, the Western Regions, get poisoned, and simply sail to the sea and escape to an overseas desert island?

In this way, life and freedom can be preserved, but I will never see my mother, sister, brother, and other relatives, and I may even bear the infamy of 'treason', and I will not see Lu Wan, Li Ling, and Wei. Lu, Li Guangli and others have been scolded by historians for hundreds of years!

Let's talk about the wild and smoky land, the living conditions are extremely harsh, fierce beasts are rampant, poisonous snakes are everywhere, and there may be some cannibals. I have been used to rich clothes and fine food since I was a child, can I bear that suffering?

I can't plead guilty, and I can't run away. Where is my way out? Do I want to kill myself with a sword to save the lives of my wives and children? I'm afraid that the second brother will be cruel and merciless, and come to kill the roots!

"Scratch! Scratch!--It's a life-and-death moment, and if His Highness doesn't fight up, it's too late to regret it if you really wait until the sword is at your fingertips!"

"Mr. Taiqing is here. Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. I can only let him slaughter me. How can I fight for it?"

"Everything is man-made. If Your Highness doesn't put in a fight, how will you know you can't turn defeat into victory?"

With the sound of slight footsteps, a figure walked into the back hall. He was of medium build, covered in a black robe, and wrapped in a soap-colored gauze scarf. He exuded a cold air, like a wandering ghost!

After the man in black came in, he sat across from him naturally, and took off the soap towel on his head, revealing an ugly face covered with scars, one ear was missing, and half of his nose was cut off, this honor If you go out at night, ghosts will scare you a lot!

But who would have thought that this ugly monster who can scare away ghosts is originally a suave and handsome man, and he also has a famous name-Yang Xiu!

Yang Xiu, whose name is Dezu, was born in Hongnong County-Huayin. He is the great-great-grandson of Yang Zhen, a famous official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the son of Yang Biao. In the world, it can be described as a first-class gentry family, comparable to the Yuan Shao family of "four generations and three princes".

Yang Xiu is studious and talented. In the first year of Jian'an, he was promoted as Xiaolian. He was a doctor first, and then he was appreciated by Cao Cao. Everything is satisfactory! '

During that time, because of the same literary hobby, Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi forged a deep friendship, and made suggestions for the latter in the battle for the establishment of the reserve, which made a lot of achievements!

It's a pity, sitting at home behind closed doors, disasters come from the sky, in the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao did not hesitate to use iron and blood methods to suppress the gentry forces who opposed him, and many people broke down and destroyed their families at once, Taiwei Yang Biao was also involved, and hanged himself As a result of his death, his son Yang Xiu's whereabouts are unknown.

Some people said that Yang Xiu was unlucky and died in the scuffle that night, and his body was burned to ashes.

Some people said that Yang Xiu took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Xuchang City. Since then, he has lived in seclusion in the mountains.

Others said that Yang Xiu fled to Jiangdong and joined Sun Quan's shogunate to help make suggestions. He wanted to use the power of the Jiangdong Group to avenge himself for killing his father and destroying his family. The target was naturally the Cao family.

There are different opinions, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and then as time goes by, people gradually stop talking about this matter, and completely forget about this person!

After all, in the world of great strife, there is no shortage of earth-shattering events, and most powerful figures. A mere Yang Xiu is just a drop of water in the river.

The truth is, these news are half wrong, Yang Xiu did not go to Jiangdong, nor did he live in seclusion in the mountains, but lurked in Xuchang City, and never left!

He was also half right, Yang Xiu was also a bloody man, his father died tragically, and his family was ruined, how could this blood debt not be recovered?

But Yang Xiu knew very well that the Cao family was in full swing, even if Bashu, Jiangdong, and the gentry group combined forces, it would be difficult to shake them, so how could they take revenge?

But as the old saying goes, the fortress is the easiest to breach from the inside, and the weak point of the Cao family is also within Xiao Qiang. As long as the brothers are provoked to fight each other and compete for positions, sooner or later they will embark on the road of brotherhood and death!

So Yang Xiu became ruthless, ruined his handsome appearance, and quietly lurked beside Cao Zhi as "Mr. Taiqing" to help him seek the position of Wei Guo's heir!

Because Yang Xiu once wrote "Ode to Beauty", in which there is a sentence: "Only Xuanyuan's restful daughter, who cultivates the bright light in the imperial court, absorbs the fragrance of the morning glow, and floats in Taiqing", so he calls himself Mr. Taiqing!

With Yang Xiu's secret help, Cao Zhi tried to win his father's favor everywhere, almost touching the throne of the son, and because of his willful behavior, he failed in the end and was dispatched to Linzi City, and Yang Xiu followed him. What happened!

Chapter 1606 Cao Zhi rises up and fights brothers! (two)

"Flying birds are trapped in cages, swimming fish are caught in nets, and they struggle desperately to find a way out. This prince is familiar with scriptures and history, so he understands the truth!

However, the second elder brother has succeeded to the throne according to his father's legacy, and he also holds the position of prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that the gnats shake the tree and eventually bring about their own destruction. It's better to take wives, concubines and children and live in seclusion in the barren mountains and mountains, and forget about the rest of your life! "

Cao Zhi is also a quick-witted person. He understood the implication in Yang Xiu's words that he wanted to rebel against his second brother Cao Pi by force.

According to the legacy, Cao Pi became the King of Wei in a legitimate way, and he also won the support of civil and military officials, occupying the title of righteousness in the court, commanding the world's soldiers and horses, and having millions of people!

I am just a Qingzhou shepherd, and my subordinates are only tens of thousands of horses. I don't have any support from important ministers, and I don't have any reasonable excuses.

Rebelling without a name is to create chaos for the sake of the superior, which is very unpopular. Even the civil and military officials in Qingzhou may not support him. When the imperial court sends a large army to conquer, won't it collapse in an instant?
