Even if he couldn't die, he would probably be sealed as a small official with no real power, and sent to an unknown small city to spend the rest of his life.

But this is still the best result.

If Zijian had murderous intentions towards him, even the gods would not be able to save him at all!

Cao Pi has thought a lot these days, and he can't wait any longer!

So, Cao Pi came to Sima Yi.

Now it seems that only Sima Yi can save himself.

"My lord, you should be able to feel that the prime minister is about to become king, right?"

Sima Yi glanced at Cao Pi, stood up in desperation and said slowly.

Cao Pi was taken aback when he heard this:

"Isn't father determined not to be king? He said that everything will be decided after Mr. Bai arrives."

Sima Yi frowned slightly and said:

"My lord, do you know why the prime minister was called a nobleman some time ago?"

Cao Pi shook his head.

Although several counselors under his command have analyzed this matter with Cao Pi.

But including Cao Pi, everyone agreed that the prime minister did not want to overthrow the Han Dynasty royal family.

Sima Yi frowned and said:

"The prime minister is testing, testing the hearts of the people in the world!"

Hearing this, Cao Pi was shocked.

Tentative?

Sima Yi continued:

"Judging from the current situation, the prime minister's pronouncing the title has received a very good response, and there is not much opposition."

"From this point of view, can the young master still not be able to guess the meaning of the prime minister?"

Cao Pi suddenly realized:

"I see, sir, that Father is paving the way."

Sima Yi nodded and said noncommittally:

"Moreover, he is not paving the way for himself, but paving the way for future generations."

Cao Pi's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't believe what Sima Yi said.

Sima Yi stood up from the grand teacher's chair, walked forward, and touched the canary in the cage in front of him:

"My lord, do you know what the prime minister intends to do when he issues a recruiting order and holds a recruiting conference?"

Cao Pi thought for a moment, then murmured:

"Father has always wanted to suppress the gentry. This move should be to introduce disciples from poor families, so as to push new forces to suppress the gentry."

"It's just that because the talent recruitment conference was organized by the gentry, in the end there was still no influx of people from poor families, and the few selected were also from the gentry."

"Father's move failed."

"Do not."

When Sima Yi heard this, he quickly turned around, shook his head and said:

"The Prime Minister not only did not fail, but was extremely successful, and he has achieved his original goal."

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi puzzled.

Sima Yi continued:

"Young master, think about it, the prime minister's great wisdom, if it is to bring in poor family scholars to suppress the gentry, why not let the cronies handle it, but hand it over to the gentry?"

"The purpose of the prime minister is to use the hands of the gentry to suppress the humble scholars so that they can't lift their heads."

"In this way, those poor scholars will hate, and it is not the prime minister who hates, but the nobles."

"In this way, the Prime Minister has achieved the purpose of suppressing the gentry."

Cao Pi suddenly realized:

"It turns out that this is the case. Father actually thinks so long-term!"

"It seems that I am still far behind!"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi and said nothing.

In fact, Sima Yi has already seen this.

The real purpose of the recruiting conference is to make the poor family hate the gentry, and use the knife of the poor family to kill the gentry.

Although the poor family is small in power, they have a large number of people. With them becoming the swords of the prime minister, the gentry will definitely not be able to withstand it.

So Sima Yi refused to be an official, and also reduced a lot of contacts with other gentry.
