Cao Pi was so treacherous that he immediately found a perfect excuse, as the reason for not making a prince, and even brought out the story of the abolition of Linjiang King in the Han Dynasty!

It is said that at the time of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, in order to prevent his brothers (especially the king of Liang-Liu Wu, who had the intention and strength to compete for the reserve) from coveting the throne, he preemptively established the eldest son-Liu Rong as the crown prince, so as to consolidate the country!

Later, he felt that Liu Rong could not become a great weapon, and was far less intelligent than the tenth prince Liu Che, so he used imperial power to find an excuse to abolish Liu Rong as the king of Linjiang and make Liu Che the crown prince, who later became Emperor Wu of Han! (Facts have proved that Emperor Han Jing is still very discerning)

The problem is that abolishing the crown prince is no small matter, and many important officials of the court have been implicated, including those who dismissed officials and nobles, and those who ransacked their families and destroyed their families, which caused great political turmoil, and the deposed Linjiang King Liu Rong was soon forced to death by cruel officials It has become a tragedy in the history of the Han family!

"Your Majesty's words are not unreasonable. You must be very careful when you establish a crown prince. Choose a benevolent one among the princes. Don't let the flesh and blood fight. It's better to discuss this matter in a few years!"

Empress Dowager Bian has served Cao Cao for decades, and she naturally knew the story of the abolition of Linjiang King, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

Since Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers competed for the reserve position and almost killed each other, the last thing Empress Dowager Bian wanted to see was that the Cao family's blood could kill each other.

Seeing that he had fooled his mother, Cao Pi heaved a sigh of relief, and then gave Zhen Dao a sneaky look, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, thinking that she was telling the story behind her back, and asked the queen to come forward and force him to be the crown prince!

"Da da!"

Zhen Dao showed a grievance on his face, and he took a few steps back in fear. He has a conscience, he just greeted the sick, he didn't say a single unnecessary word, and he didn't dare to interfere in the important matter of Li Chu.

On the contrary, when Cao Xiong was talking with Empress Dowager Bian, the former said that he had just established the eldest son as the prince, and he would inherit his own state in the future. This is the question about the establishment of the prince, right?

However, Zhen Dao is also very puzzled. Cao Pi's level of governance is not bad, and he is also very decisive in handling matters. Why has he been delaying on the issue of establishing a reserve?

Zhen Dao couldn't understand this question, Queen Mother Bian couldn't understand it, and civil and military officials couldn't understand it either. The answer was hidden deep in Cao Pi's heart-for one person, the little queen!

Since seeing the little queen in the temple more than ten years ago, that small and beautiful figure like an elf has often appeared in Cao Pi's dreams, lingering!

For a long time, Cao Pi lost all interest in his wives and concubines, and always used various excuses to run to Wuchouhou's Mansion every now and then, hoping to meet the little queen and express his love for her!

It's a pity that Luohua is intentional and ruthless. He has no interest in the Great Wei Shizi, and later the Great Wei Emperor, and the little queen, but that kind of aloof and cold temperament makes Cao Pi even more obsessed, and secretly vows to get the little queen!

In fact, Cao Pigui is the king of a country, and there are countless beauties in the harem. He has all kinds of women he wants. The reason why he is madly in love with the little queen is that besides his own taste, there is another important reason: the little queen is Xiao Yi's woman To be precise, it was a woman that Xiao Yi hadn't even gotten!

Although Cao Pi was very reluctant to admit it, he had to grit his teeth and admit that he was very afraid of Xiao Yi, almost to the bone, and it was a shame for the emperor to fear his subjects, so Cao Pi secretly vowed to prove to the world that he was not Fear of Xiao Yi, but how to prove it?

Defeating Xiao Yi on the battlefield... In the most beautiful dream Cao Pi had in his life, he never dreamed of such a scene, it was simply harder than reaching the sky!

He couldn't win on the battlefield, so he had to work hard in the love field. If the little queen married him willingly, wouldn't it prove that he was stronger than Xiao Yi?

It should be known that conquering the country and conquering women are the most proud things for men, and their happiness is comparable, but the latter is sometimes more difficult than the former!

The problem is that the little queen has too much personality. She has been in Wuchouhou's residence for more than ten years, and she has been unwilling to marry Xiao Yi in a legitimate way (there is a real husband and wife, but no name as a husband and wife), and Xiao Yi is not easy to force. The reason is: I don't want to be a concubine!

The life creed of the little queen is: 'The queen is not weaker than others throughout her life, from the emperor to the farmer. If she wants to marry herself, she must only be the main wife and never be a concubine! '

In other words, if Cao Pi wanted to get the little queen, he had to give her the title of queen of the palace. This is why Cao Pi has always wanted to depose the current queen, but he has been reluctant to establish a prince.

Because among the eleven princes, Cao Rui is a well-deserved heir apparent regardless of whether he is the heir, the elder, or the virtuous, and Cao Rui is the son of Zhen Dao. The position is unshakable, so how to marry the little queen?

If you don't marry the little queen into the palace, Cao Pi will die in peace!

…………

The sighing queen mother, the terrified queen, and the murderous emperor... Everything that happened in the dormitory was clearly seen by Cao Xiong, and he became a little cautious!

The emperor's health is very bad. I'm afraid he is not a long-lived person, and he has been reluctant to establish a prince for a long time. Once something unbearable happens, who will the great Wei Jiangshan hand over to?

Don't forget, according to the ancient law of succession, apart from the death of the father, there is also the saying that the brother will end up with the younger brother, and I am the emperor's direct younger brother, and the empress dowager's favorite son, and I have a good relationship with the Xiao family. If... …hey-hey!

The corners of Cao Xiong's mouth twitched twice, as if he wanted to smile, but he suppressed it forcefully, lowering his head even lower...

"It's getting late, my son is leaving, please take good care of your mother!"

According to the rules, foreign ministers are not allowed to stay overnight in the harem, and the princes and kings are no exception. Seeing that it was dusk, Cao Xiong was about to leave the palace, but the Empress Dowager Bian was very reluctant to let go of her youngest son's hand. open!

"Haha, since the queen mother is so reluctant to let go, brother Wang will stay in the palace, so he can calm down in the morning and evening, and taste the medicine!"

"National law, all foreign ministers are not allowed to stay in the harem, how can the younger brother break the rules!"

"Hey, the law of the country is nothing more than the laws of nature and human feelings. With the king's brother serving carefully, the queen mother will definitely recover from the Eucharist. What's wrong with making an exception? Besides, the king's brother and my compatriots, how can we talk about the word 'foreign minister'? "

"In this way, my brother will follow His Majesty's will!"

Unexpectedly, Cao Pi tried to persuade him to stay, which was completely different from the previous style of defending against brothers and tigers. Cao Xiong pretended to evade a few words, and then agreed.

Seeing the harmony between her sons, Empress Dowager Bian was naturally overjoyed, and her face turned red. At the same time, she prayed secretly, hoping that the conflict between her son and son-in-law could be resolved, so that she could rest in peace even if she was lying in a coffin.

Next, Cao Pi stood up and resigned, Cao Xiong then sent him off respectfully, but just after leaving the gate of Renshou Palace, an eunuch sent an urgent report!

'Jiujiang Taishou-Yangli Tinghou-Jia Kui, sincerely and frightened, suddenly said:

From the fourth year of Huangchu to the second day of October, a hurricane rose from the southeast coast and swept across more than [-] miles from south to north. It lasted eight days until it reached the coast of the Yangtze River and did not enter the territory of our Great Wei!

Wherever the hurricane went, houses collapsed, houses were destroyed, and the health city was not spared. The city walls collapsed in many places, and the Wu Palace was almost submerged by rain.

Preliminary estimates show that there are tens of thousands of casualties in Jiangdong, 10 displaced people, countless losses of vehicles, boats, property, and crops, the people mourn day and night, the government is helpless, and dozens of civil uprisings occur within a day. Jiangdong is in the shape of doomsday carry on! '

…………

Cao Wei already knew about the hurricane blowing along the southeast coast, but most of Cao Pi and his civil and military officials were born inland, and had never seen the vastness of the sea, let alone imagine how much damage a storm could do to a country. So no one takes it too seriously!

Now that the accurate news came, looking at the series of numbers above, Cao Pi was dumbfounded at first, and then fell into ecstasy. This is really God Bless Cao Wei!

Although Cao Pi is not as talented as his father, he is not an ordinary person. He knows that if the Cao Wei regime wants long-term stability, he must improve his personal prestige to consolidate the imperial power. There is only one way-to launch a war!

Fighting can unite people's hearts, divert internal conflicts, and cultivate real talents. It is a way to govern the country under extraordinary circumstances!

The problem is, Cao Cao and Xiao Yi are too powerful. They have conquered the north and south for decades, not to mention the vassals of the Central Plains, and even defeated the Xiongnu, Jie, Di, Qiang, Karasuma, and Xianbei tribes. The genocide is simply exterminated!

Cao Pi drew his sword and looked around, only to find that there were only two opponents left: one was Shu Han and the other was Sun Wu!

In Guanzhong, Hanzhong and the northern part of Jingzhou controlled by the Xiao family, Cao Wei's army could not destroy Shu without Xiao Yi's nod and consent.

However, the Sun family has ruled Jiangdong for more than 200 years. It has selected talents and appointed them, and the people's hearts are attached to them. above!

Back then, Cao Cao sent all his troops to the south and wanted to sweep the southeast half of the rivers and mountains. Unexpectedly, he was defeated in the Wulin War. Tens of thousands of people fell into the sand, and the dream of unifying the world was also shattered!

Cao Pi's ability is far inferior to that of his father. Although he has long cherished the heart of defeating Wu, he has never dared to act rashly, for fear of losing a big battle and directly ruining Cao Wei's national fortune!

I didn't expect God to help. A hurricane destroyed the Jiangdong mountains and rivers, and the people were in dire straits. I'm afraid they won't be able to recover in three to five years!

Today's Jiangdong regime is like a rickety dilapidated house, which will collapse as long as it is kicked hard. How can Cao Pi let go of such a god-given opportunity?

"Decree to Jia Kui, the prefect of Jiujiang, to send people to closely monitor Jiangdong, and report all matters big and small, the more detailed the better!"

"According to the order!"

"Let the civil and military officials quickly enter the palace and discuss important matters with me in the Tai Chi Hall!"
