In addition to Wenzhi and martial arts, the traitor is also very powerful in "internal strength". He has 25 sons and seven daughters in total, and has excellent genetics. How many people died!

"The Cao family and the Xiahou family are blood relatives of the old man. They should share honor and disgrace, share wealth, and help each other. Therefore, the old man has decided to adopt his three sons, Cao Xuan, Cao Jun, and Cao Ju, to General Hussars. Your wishes How about it?"

Cao Cao's method of balancing the two families is extremely ingenious, that is, to adopt his three sons to Xiahou Dun's knees, let them change their surnames to Xiahou's, and recognize their ancestors for their father!

Xiahoudun has a strong personality and excellent martial arts skills, and has made many contributions on the battlefield. Now he is a hussar general and Gao'an Xianghou, and he is a well-known dignitary in the court. No heirs!

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. Chinese people regard blood inheritance more important than wealth. If a person can't have a son, he will often adopt a nephew to inherit his title and property, so as not to cut off his children and grandchildren. People provide sacrifices for the elderly!

Cao Cao took a fancy to this, so he selected three sons to adopt to Xiahou Dun. Although the two had different surnames, they were cousins. The blood relationship was very close, and adoptive heirs were also reasonable, and there were two advantages:

For one thing, the three sons recognized their ancestors for their father, which can appease the Xiahou clan and allow them to continue to be loyal to Cao Cao. It can also bridge the conflict between the Cao family and the Xiahou clan and become a real brotherly clan!

Second, Xiahou Dun is the patriarch of the family, and the three children are adoptive sons, who can inherit his title and status. That is to say, from now on, the positions of patriarchs of the Cao and Xiahou clans will be in the hands of Cao Cao's descendants!

"Life and death will continue, and kindness will be recreated. The prime minister's kindness, the younger brother is really unforgettable, and he must be loyal and loyal, so that he can repay his kindness in case!"

Xiahou Dun has always been very distressed about the issue of succession, now that he has three clever sons, he is naturally overjoyed, he quickly knelt down to thank him for his kindness, and pulled the three children over.

"Children pay homage to Daddy - be healthy and live a long life!"

The three little guys are also very well-behaved, and they are not afraid because of the adoption, instead they gather around Xiahoudun, yelling at each other, quite a bit of competition for favor!

The reason is also very simple. In the prime minister's mansion, they are just the sons of concubines, and they are not very favored by their father. In the future, when a brother inherits the foundation, they will at most be a marquis, give a small fief, and be a local tyrant!

If you are unlucky and get involved in the battle for the reserve, you may lose your life. Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang are all ambitious, like wolves and tigers, and they will never be soft when they kill their brothers!

Adoption to Xiahou Dun is different, they become sons-in-law in one fell swoop, and the family property of General Hussar's Mansion can be shared equally by the three of them and they can live a rich life, and they can also avoid the battle for the heir, why not do it!

As for Cao Cao, with 25 sons, there is nothing reluctant to give away a few that he doesn't like very much. Anyway, with his physical condition, it is no problem to have ten or eight more!

"My lord, the prime minister, loves my brother, and everyone in the world respects me as the son of my knee!"

"General Xiahou is happy to have a son, and he has someone to succeed him from now on. It's really gratifying!"

..............................

All the ministers came forward one after another, congratulating Xiahoudun on having a son. They admired the traitor's superb methods even more. They resolved the clan conflicts, gained a good reputation, and arranged for the future of the three sons. It really kills three birds with one stone. ah!

After the grand congratulations, the officials returned to their seats, looking at their noses and mouths and asking their hearts, all silent, because everyone's mind was cleared, and the next thing to decide was to canonize the prince of the Duke of Wei!

"The state has a prince, and the family has a son. This is an ancient practice. The old man has made great contributions to the country, so he was named Wei Gong. Now that the dukedom has been established and the ancestral temple has been established, it is time to confer a prince!

What's more, the old man is over fifty years old, his hair is growing, and his teeth are loose. I'm afraid he will die soon. He also needs to choose a good man from among the sons, who will inherit the old man's career in the future, govern the country, and benefit the people!

You have followed this old man for many years, you are loyal to the Cao family, and you are all important ministers in the court, so you must have a unique vision. In the opinion of your lords, among the twenty or so sons of this old man, which one is worthy of the important responsibility? "

Cao Cao's falcon-like eyes swept over the faces of many sons and ministers, and then he brought up the issue of the establishment of the reserve in a calm tone, but asked three times in a row, and no one answered!

The battle for the reserve is the most dangerous. If you say the wrong thing, or stand on the wrong team, you may be doomed. Besides, the traitor is as deep as the sea, and no one can guess his mind. In the end, he wants to train that son. Considering his wealth and life, he naturally didn't dare to speak casually!

Besides, once the son is established, he will inevitably gather heroes from all directions, and gradually form a new powerful group, which will replace the original power and even threaten Cao Cao's rights. Fighting is also life and death!

In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid of the growing authority of the prince and threatened his own imperial power, so in his later years, he used the evil of witchcraft to force the death of the queen Wei Zifu and the prince Liu Shi, and beheaded the prince's henchmen. Tens of thousands of people... half of the dignitaries in the DPRK and China are implicated!

"Xiao Lang is the number one general in the army, his meritorious service is unmatched, and he is the son-in-law of my Cao family. He should also give advice in public and private. Who is the best son?"

Seeing that no one answered, Cao Cao turned his eyes a few times, and put this difficult question in front of Xiao Yi. It was not only a question to him, but also a deep test!

Chapter 1155 The Duchy of Cao Wei, brothers are divided equally!

"Prime Minister - a great talent, a great hero, and no one can compete with the heroes of the world. The sons born are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they will surely inherit the foundation. It's a big deal..."

Facing the traitor's questioning, Xiao Yi sang meritorious deeds, delayed time, and tried to fool the past with Tai Chi pushing hands; while secretly calculating, among the twenty or so sons of the Cao family, who is the future master?

All those who are ministers want to avoid disputes over the crown prince, so as not to be involved in the political vortex. There are many famous families in history, because they stood in the wrong team, and finally got wiped out. It's a pity that people are in the court and can't help themselves. ?

Xiao Yi has a high position and power, and holds a powerful army. He is the most important minister of the Caoying Group, and he cannot avoid it. To put it bluntly, once the treacherous hero travels westward, there must be a place for Xiao Yi on the list of ministers who support Gu , and the location is very front!

Logically speaking, among the sons of the Cao family, Cao Pi has the strongest political ability, the most similar character to his father, and the greatest chance of establishing a crown prince. In the original history, he also defeated many brothers and won the heir s position!

However, Xiao Yi came across time and used his butterfly wings to change the course of history and the fate of many people. Some should have ruled the world, but returned to the underworld ahead of time, and some should have fallen on the battlefield, but instead Enjoying the glory and wealth, it is unknown whether Cao Pi can succeed in the position!

And Xiao Yi clearly remembered that there is such a record in "Three Kingdoms": After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself, all the ministers around him came to congratulate him, saying that he was the man who was destined by heaven, but Cao Pi replied: "My brother is filial and honest, and I will divide it myself." Also, if the cangshu is here, I will have no world!"

My brother pointed out that the eldest son Cao Ang, who is both civil and military, has a noble character. If he hadn't fallen on the battlefield, he would definitely succeed to the throne. Similarly, if Cao Chong didn't die young, the throne would not fall into Cao Pi's hands!

This is what Cao Pi said after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The credibility is very high, and it also reveals the inside story of Cao's seizure of the heirloom!

It has been seven or eight years since Cao Ang fell, and he missed the throne. Although Cao Chong was born with a deficiency, he is still living happily. Moreover, under Hua Tuo's meticulous care, his life is not in danger in the short term. ?

Therefore, Xiao Yi secretly guessed that Cao Chong should be the most satisfied person when it comes to the establishment of a heir. If the little child prodigy died young, it would be the turn of the second son Cao Pi, or other sons!

The reason why Cao Chong was not canonized was because he was worried that he would not grow up. If the heir died again, it would shake Cao Ying's heart, and the second was to protect Cao Chong from the jealousy of his brothers, who would then do evil things!

The ideal is clear, but Xiao Yi can't say it out, let alone support Cao Chong's ascension. This will not only offend Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi brothers, but also cause Cao Cao's displeasure, because what a traitor fears the most in his life is when others guess him Thoughts!

"Haha! -Although this old man has made a small contribution to the community, how dare he underestimate the heroes of the world? Xiao Lang praised him in every possible way, but he refused to recommend candidates. Could it be that he is unwilling to assist a son to inherit the foundation after a hundred years?

It's no wonder that the puppies that this old man gave birth to really have no talents to make. Xiao Lang, who is both civil and military and has outstanding achievements, is the best candidate for successor. After the old man's hundred years, you will succeed as the prime minister and assist the big man Jiangshan Sheji!

I also hope that when Xiao Lang is proud, he will take good care of these incompetent brothers-in-law based on the love between Xiao and Cao. He does not ask for glory and wealth, as long as he has enough food and clothing. Endless! "

Cao Cao left his seat suddenly, and bowed to Xiao Yi, with pleading expressions on his face. Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi... all the sons also followed behind their father, knelt down on their knees, and kowtowed. I even cried out loud!

Xiao Yi's guess is correct, the traitor's favorite heir is the youngest son - Cao Chong, who is only seven or eight years old, his intelligence is no different from that of a middle-aged man, and he has a benevolent heart and excellent popularity. Lord, you are not under Qin Huang and Han Wu!

It's a pity that the little guy is not congenitally deficient, so he may not be able to grow up. As for the brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, they are slightly inferior in talent. If they are allowed to inherit the foundation and usurp the Han Dynasty, there is no problem, but they cannot suppress Xiao Yi's rise. Will make wedding dresses for others!

After taking precautions, Cao Cao put aside his old face and used this kind of political hooliganism. First, he forced Xiao Yi into an embarrassing situation, made him swear allegiance to the Cao family forever, and put a moral shackle on him. Things like this will be cast aside by people all over the world!

If Xiao Yi refuses to swear, Cao Cao will fight for a civil strife, and he will also use thunderous means to kill his sons in advance. Xu Chu led more than a hundred armored soldiers to ambush on both sides of the hall!

The second is to warn my sons, don't focus on fighting for the reserve position, and beware of the powerful officials around you. With Xiao Yi's power, status and scheming skills, he can completely replace them!

What the Chinese pay attention to is that brothers fight against each other outside the wall, and with a huge sense of threat, the Cao brothers must unite as one and help each other. Even if Xiao Yi develops ambition, he will have no chance of usurping power!

"The last general was originally a man from the mountains and fields. Thanks to the prime minister, he took care of him, promoted him, and took his beloved daughter as his wife. Only then did he have the glory and wealth he has today. It's not enough for the last general to repay his kindness. Don't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts." !

The last general dares to swear to the sky that he will do his best to assist the prime minister and complete the great cause of unifying the world. After the prime minister has passed for a hundred years, he will continue to assist his successors.

As for the establishment of the reserve, the Prime Minister does not think that the last one will be an outsider, so the last general will dare to say a few words. All the princes in the Xiangfu are all dragons and phoenixes among the people. It is really difficult to distinguish the good from the bad. Why don't the prime minister refer to the ancient system, similar to the three generations of enfeoffment This way, let them each town be the lord of the country, so that they can watch and help each other! "

In political struggles, if you want to deal with hooligans, you have to behave even more hooligans. Xiao Yi took off his golden crown, took off his robe, and threw off his boots... also knelt down on the ground, hugged Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers, and cried more sad than them!

Moreover, he cursed and swore that he would be Cao Wei's servant forever. Xiao Yi did not lie about this. With his relationship with the Cao family, he could only hold great power and dare not seek to usurp the throne. Otherwise, he would be scolded by the world and his conscience would be disturbed. Yes, as for the replacement, let it be left to the later generations!

As a general, Xiao Yi is most sensitive to murderous intent, so the armored soldiers in ambush can't escape his feeling, and they also know that the traitor has murderous intent, so he came up with a good method, which can resolve the crisis of Li Chu. It can also divide the brothers of the Cao family, that is the Principality of Cao Wei, and the brothers will share equally!
