Jealousy is useless, you have to take practical actions, touched your own flat belly, and looked at the figure in the creek not far away, Zhao Yu made up his mind - to have another one!

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Xiao Yi was shirtless, wearing only shorts with short nose, standing in the waist-deep river, brushing and washing the fur of 'Cabbage' with his own hands. Recently, one person and one horse were almost inseparable, looking at the water flowing eastward, and watching the sun sinking westward at dusk , with endless words!

"Bah!——Bah!"

A black foal was playing on the bank of the river. It was brought back from Shanglin Garden last time. According to the blood relationship, it is the great-grandson of 'Cabbage'. It was born this spring and has just been weaned. How long, the character is lively, mischievous and bold!

Xiao Yi also named it Cai Baozi, because the pony's fur is black all over, except for a white spot in the shape of a crescent in the middle of its forehead, which reminds people of a certain Lord Qingtian, and it is also a 'cabbage' His great-grandson, it makes sense to be called this name, and the little pony didn't object!

'Cai Baozi' stood on the bank of the river, constantly testing the depth of the water with his front hooves, as if he wanted to go into the water but dared not, and screamed anxiously, reminding people of the story of the pony crossing the river!

Xiao Yi knew in his heart that 'Cabbage' knew that his time was approaching, so he specially brought this little pony back as a continuation of his life, so that he could be by Xiao Yi's side in the future, afraid that he would be alone, afraid that he would be alone. Drinking is boring!

I carried you on my back, charged into battle, fought bloody battles, and built great achievements together!

I will take you, eat, drink, have fun, play with the world of mortals, and watch the most beautiful scenery in the world together!

Inseparable during life, never forgetting before death, although I never communicate with each other verbally, you are my best brother in this life!

…………

"Father! Father!--Jiangdong Express, it's urgent!"

Xiao Huang ran all the way to the bank of the river, knelt down on both knees to salute, and held a Hongling urgent report in his hand, with four feathers attached to it, representing the highest level of urgent reporting, and it is not allowed to be used for non-military affairs!

Xiao Yi knew that it was a big deal, so he also took the 'cabbage' out of the water and went ashore. At the same time, he secretly guessed, could it be that Zhuge Liang sent troops to the Northern Expedition again?

"Trichogramma emergency report: From the fourth year of Huangchu to the second day of October, a hurricane shower broke out along the southeast coast. It looked like a dragon dancing wildly, sweeping dozens of counties in Wu County and Kuaiji County from south to north. Blow down 10,000+ houses and destroy millions of acres of crops that are about to mature!

The hurricane triggered a tsunami, and the sea water flowed up the river along the river, flooding a large number of cities and farms, and the casualties of people and animals were incalculable. Even the ships on the Yangtze River were not spared, and thousands of people sank!

As of the day of the report, the hurricane and showers have not stopped, and there is no sign of slowing down. They are advancing rapidly all the way to the north, heading straight for Health City. Wu Wang Sun Quan, civil and military officials, and wealthy families all left the city and headed inward. Lu dodges, in a state of embarrassment! "

It never occurred to him that it was not the invasion of soldiers from Western Shu, but a natural disaster in Eastern Wu!

Perhaps Sun Quan knew in his heart that he did not have the ability to dominate the world, nor did Wu Guo have the strength to swallow Wei and destroy Shu, and even self-protection would be difficult to maintain for a long time. Therefore, in recent years, this blue-eyed boy has become more and more obsessed with cultivating immortals, and he has called a large number of The sorcerer, in the palace for alchemy all day long, made a mess of smoke!

Military and state affairs were handed over to Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun and others. Fortunately, these people were quite capable and managed Jiangdong properly. Unexpectedly, natural disasters suddenly came, and the people of Jiangdong would suffer!

"The ancients said: The enemy's disaster is a blessing to our country. Now the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Wu do not practice morality, so that natural disasters are caused. Our country should celebrate it. Why is my father so worried?"

Seeing his father showing compassion, Xiao Huang couldn't help asking questions!

"It is true that Wu is an enemy country, but the people in Jiangdong are innocent. We are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Now that our compatriots have suffered disasters, how can there be any reason to gloat?

What's more, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu stand in a tripod, and now one foot is shaking violently, can this giant tripod still be stable, I am afraid that a big change is just around the corner! "

Xiao Yi looked at the southeast direction, and then at Luoyang direction, he couldn't help feeling ups and downs, the earth-shattering changes were just around the corner, what should the Xiao family do... Soaring into the sky, or doomed?

"Rain!"

"What are your orders, husband?"

"Take out my armor and sword, and wipe them down a few times. They will be needed soon!"

"Ah...no!"

"Plop!"... Encouraged by 'Cabbage', 'Caibaozi' finally jumped into the river and swam forward desperately, no matter how dangerous the road ahead, he would finally bravely break through!

Chapter 1679 The west wind overwhelms the east wind!

Luoyang City - Tai Chi Hall!

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, all are rebellious ministers and thieves, without any loyalty to the emperor, I will kill you all sooner or later-snap!"

"Your Majesty calm down, be careful of the dragon body!"

At dusk, Cao Pi leaned on the Longshu case, reviewing the memorials sent from all over the place, but the more he watched, the more angry he became, he reached out and swept all the memorials to the ground, and threw out the cinnabar imperial pen, which fell into three pieces!

The eunuchs in charge rushed forward to clean up the mess, and replaced it with another imperial brush. You can tell from their calm and tacit cooperation that this is obviously not the first time.

It has been more than four years since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. If you ask Cao Pi what is the experience of sitting on the dragon chair, I am afraid that you can only get two words-regret, yes, Cao Pi really regretted it!

Regret that I was greedy for the throne, and forcibly usurped the Han and became the emperor when the time was not yet ripe!

Regret that in order to gain the support of the gentry group, he violated his father's political line and introduced the nine-rank official and human law, which chilled the hearts of the people all over the world!

I even regret that I was eager to cut power, completely offended the Xiao family, and even formed a bad situation of dividing the east and the west!

There is a reason before, and there will be results later. Because of repeated political mistakes, Cao Pi is now very passive, and all kinds of evil consequences have also exploded...

First of all, using the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law, the gentry group completely controlled the selection of talents. In the first one or two years, in order not to look too ugly, they also recommended a few students from poor families and assigned a few small official positions with sesame and mung beans!

But now, not a single student from a poor family is seen anymore, and even those serving officials who come from a poor family have been excluded and suppressed, so that there are many people who abandon their official positions and return to hermits!

For example, Sanqi Changshi-Wang Xiu, Jing Zhaoyin-Zhang Ji, Zhenwei General-Li Tong, all veterans and important ministers who followed Cao Cao's family, because of bad background, either from a poor family, or from a rogue bandit, they were always attacked by the gentry group. All of them resigned in anger.

Today's Luoyang court has almost become a gentry, not to mention that the children of poor families have no bright future, even Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, can hardly do what he wants to promote a few confidantes, or implement any national policy, gentry officials Obeying the positive and violating the negative, he doesn't take the imperial decree to heart at all!

When holding up the gentry group before, I wanted to restrict the Xiao family, but I didn't want to shoot myself in the foot.

Secondly, those poor officials and students who had not made their mark in Luoyang went to Chang'an one after another. The imperial examination system was in full swing, and a large number of outstanding talents were selected every year. people's hearts!

Now in the state of Wei, it is said that Luoyang is called the Eastern Selection and Chang’an is the Western Selection. In terms of the quantity and quality of talents, the Western Selection is far higher than the Eastern Selection. This also proves that the imperial examination system is far better than the Eastern Selection. Adopted the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law!

Cao Pi even privately thought about implementing the imperial examination system in the east to restore some people's hearts, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to take actual action after all!

The gentry group is already full-fledged, and now grabbing meat from their mouths is bound to cause a huge backlash, and one's own throne may be shaken. Don't forget, there are not a few emperors who died inexplicably in history!

In the end, the Xiao family took control of Chang'an, and the Cao family took control of Luoyang, forming a situation of dividing the east and the west. At present, the power is evenly matched, and no one can swallow the other!

But in the long run, the west wind is bound to overwhelm the east wind. As the first emperor of the Wei Dynasty, he must plan for future generations. How can this unfavorable situation be changed?

"Your Majesty, it's the second quarter of Shen Shi, and it's time for you to go to Renshou Palace to greet the Empress Dowager!"

"Okay, change my clothes for me!"

"According to the order!"

Ever since the capital was moved to Luoyang, Empress Dowager Bian has been in poor health. She has taken a lot of decoctions and medicines. Instead of getting better, her condition has become more and more serious. Now it is very difficult to get out of bed!

Cao Pi is mean and ungrateful, and he is still a filial son. Even though he is busy with government affairs, he still takes time to visit his mother every day. He has tasted the soup and medicine more than once, and it has been passed down as a good story in the court!

Of course, Cao Pi's filial piety to his mother, in addition to fulfilling the duties of a son, also has other political purposes:

One is to take the opportunity to gain prestige and consolidate one's throne. China has ruled the world with filial piety since ancient times, and everyone who is not filial is cast aside, let alone rule the world!
