"The ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, the establishment of the heirs, who dares to betray the ancestors and make chaos now?"

He Jin's words were definitely justified and deaf, and Cao Cao groaned lightly as if he agreed: "In this case, the general please issue His Majesty's holy decree and set up the successor of my great Han to inherit the weight of Sheji." ”

He Jin was stunned for a moment, and there was vigilance between his anger, who didn't know that the emperor didn't want to make his eldest son Liu Bian the crown prince at all, even when he was dying, he didn't leave a holy edict, and he didn't even do a little bit of help, and now asking him for a holy decree is simply punishable!

With a sneer, He Jin looked at Cao Cao: "Your Majesty has passed away, you and my courtiers are all on the spot, whether there is a holy decree or not, you Cao Mengde will not know?" Now you ask me, what is your intention? ”

"Well, the general has a deep misunderstanding of Cao, and he has nothing to do if he wants to come here, so he will retire." After speaking, Cao Cao got up and strode out of the mourning hall before everyone could react.

How about He Jin, Cao Cao has no time to take care of it now, the court forces are now only divided into two factions, one faction is subordinate to He Jin, and the other faction is subordinate to neutrality, as for himself, now the power is the military power in his hands, since he has no intention of fighting at this moment, he does not want to waste his efforts.

Cao Cao hurriedly walked all the way to the palace gate, saw his own carriage, sat in without saying a word, inside, had been waiting for a long time Cao Ang knelt in it, saw Cao Cao come in and knelt down and said: "Son, please father." ”

"The son cultivates it, let the father see it, but has he grown taller again?"

Cao Ang straightened up with Cao Cao's hand, and then replied seriously: "Father, you can't stand in the carriage, even if the child straightens up, the father can't know whether his son has grown taller now." ”

"......" Cao Cao choked, stretched out his hand and pinched Cao Ang's face twice: "Stinky boy, you are fighting outside for your father, and you don't say that you want to be your father when you come back, the bigger you are, the less cute you are." After speaking, he looked at Cao Ang's frowning face and said angrily: "My good son was taught so boring by him, I will go back to Wen Ruo to settle accounts." ”

"Father." Cao Ang ignored Cao Cao, who was convulsive, took out a dark scroll from his sleeve and held it to Cao Cao with both hands.

Cao Cao took the scroll with a playful look and opened it: "This is ...... The edict of the first emperor?! ”

"Yes, father." Cao Ang calmly ignored Cao Cao's suspicious gaze, lowered his gaze and said respectfully: "This is His Royal Highness asking the child to bring out the edict of the first emperor." ”

Cao Cao habitually touched the beard on his chin, and looked at the holy decree in his hand for a long time before laughing: "Okay, the first emperor has the wisdom to know people, and the King of Bohai is also full of courage at a young age." After laughing, Cao Cao took the test for his son: "Zixiu, do you know why the King of Bohai has the edict of succession in his hand but let you take it out of the forbidden palace and send it to his father?" ”

"At this time, the edict is in hand, it is better not to have it."

"But at least he can sit on the throne with the name of this edict, not to mention that there is a father behind him, right?"

Cao Ang's young face wrinkled again, and he thought for a while before shaking his head: "The child is dull, please teach your father." ”

Cao Cao also looked at Cao Ang for a long time while he was thinking, and finally a light sigh overflowed from his mouth: "Never thought that your Highness was suspicious of being a father, so he used this holy decree to test his father?"

"Impossible." Cao Ang's cold retort rushed out of his mouth at the first time, but then his face was stunned, and then he said firmly: "Father, even if His Royal Highness is tempted, there is no need to use this edict of succession, the price is too great." ”

"That's why my father said that the King of Bohai had courage."

Cao Ang opened his mouth to refute, wanting to say that His Highness would not be like this, but for some reason, the occasional Yin Owl appeared in his mind under Liu Xie's now fading gaze.

After a long time, he swallowed everything to defend Liu Xie and asked, "In this way, what does my father want now?" ”

Cao Cao pinched the holy decree in his hand, and his heart was also hesitant for a while, Liu Xie asked Zixiu to secretly take the edict of succession out of the forbidden palace and send it to his own hands, which seemed unwise, but in fact, with the current situation, it was the best move.

Now there is a minister in the Han Dynasty who will not support Liu Xie at all to control the internal and external affairs, and there are thieves and thieves outside, and the people are not happy, and at this time, even if he holds the edict of the emperor, he is just standing on the cusp of the storm and letting others fiddle with it, maybe he will be rumored that someone will make some unfavorable reputation through this paper edict, it is better to throw this holy decree to himself, first, to test his loyalty, and secondly, he can also retreat behind Liu Bian without falling into the handle, and he can also slowly figure it out when ensuring that his life is safe.

This calculation is both fine and dangerous, this kind of imperial art is not Xun Yu can teach, and the edict of succession is this one in the world, Xun Yu will not give it even if he has this plan in his heart, so Liu Xie, who dares to do this, must still have something to rely on, Cao Cao groaned in his heart, and was thinking about what this reliance was, when he let go of the hand that still held the holy decree and was about to brush his beard, but he caught a glimpse of the dried blood stains between his fingers.

"Father, what's wrong?" Cao Ang saw that Cao Cao, who was still contemplative, suddenly stiffened, and couldn't help but follow his gaze to look at his hand raised in the air, and then there was a touch of surprise: "Father, what's wrong with your hand?" ”

"Nothing." Quickly withdrawing his hand, Cao Cao smiled exaggeratedly.

Cao Ang silently withdrew his gaze, even if his finger hurt, he knew that his father would be fine, but his father's expression just now didn't look like he was okay at all.

The carriage stopped, Cao Ang took the lead and got out of the car and stood aside respectfully, Cao Cao followed and said, "Zixiu, go and invite your teacher for your father." ”

"Yes."

Cao Ang took his father's order and left, Cao Cao sat in the study and looked at the holy decree placed in front of him, his eyes were deep, as if he was measuring.

"Father, the teacher is here."

Cao Cao got up and opened the door to welcome people in, and when he saw that Cao Ang was about to retreat, he couldn't help but say when he thought of Cao Ang's maintenance of Liu Xie during his conversation: "Zixiu, you are also old, you don't have to avoid these anymore." ”

Cao Ang paused, calmly turned around and saluted Cao Cao: "Yes, father." Then he walked to Cao Cao's side and quietly became a wooden man.

"Meng De, you are not in the palace at this time, what are you looking for me to come over?"

"There is a general in the palace, He Jin, why do you need me Cao Cao?"

"Then what are you looking for me today?"

Cao Cao pointed to the holy decree on the table: "You take a look at this first?" ”

Xun Yu looked at the scroll: "Holy decree? The fox glanced at Cao Cao suspiciously, picked it up and looked at it, and then said in astonishment: "This is the edict of the former emperor!" ”

Looking at Xun Yu's reaction, Cao Cao had already determined that Xun Yu really didn't know that there was such an edict, so the person behind Liu Xie......

"Wen Ruo knows how Cao got this holy decree?"

"Isn't it entrusted by the emperor?"

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and sat there casually rubbing the other fingertip that was still bloodstained but now clean without any traces and replied: "Wen Ruo, do you know that this was brought to me by Zixiu by the King of Bohai when he took advantage of the chaos in the palace?" ”

Xun Yu looked at the holy decree expressionlessly for a while before raising his head and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Who is the person behind the King of Bohai, do you know?"

Xun Yu smiled faintly when he heard this question: "The person behind His Royal Highness, with the wisdom of Meng De, how can he have a reason to guess?" ”

"You mean ......?" Cao Cao had been suspicious for a long time, and he had a conjecture in his heart but he was not sure, and he still didn't believe it when he heard Xun Yu's words at this moment.

"It's the most unlikely possibility in Mengde's heart." Xun Yu gave a very positive answer to Cao Cao's suspicions, this holy decree can be sent to Cao Cao's hands must be Jun Shaowu's meaning, since Jun Shaowei will do this, it means that he doesn't care to let Cao Cao know that Liu Xie is still standing behind him, not to mention saying it at this time, in the name of Jun Shaowu's god, it is enough to suppress those thoughts that Cao Cao may have in his heart that should not be there.

It's not that Xun Yu is worried that Cao Cao will have a backlash, and the situation of a strong minister and a weak lord is the most likely to make people have sneaky thoughts, which he never wants to see, and now in the name of Jun Shaowu, it is enough to stifle Cao Cao's possible disobedience in advance.

And Cao Cao is indeed as Xun Yu thought, hearing Xun Yu confirmed his conjecture, Cao Cao touched his neck, and the inexplicable opening on the neck of the first emperor Yan can also be explained, there is only one person in the world who can quietly hurt people's lives, so this insignificant wound on his neck is actually injured by this holy decree, this is to beat himself in advance, so that he should not be disrespectful, disloyal and disobedient......

"That person has the ability to reach the sky, why is there such a twist and turn in the succession king?"

"That person's mind has always been unfathomable, and I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person this question."

"Listening to Wen Ruo's tone, could it be that he has something to do with that person?"

"Yu is just the nominal teacher of His Highness, but he is the master of His Highness's bowing ceremony."

Cao Ang was in a trance while listening, thinking that he had accompanied Liu Xie for many years, but he never knew about it, which showed Liu Xie's defense of him, and his heart couldn't help but hurt.

"Your Highness has this creation?" Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay!" Good! Good! Your Royal Highness is indeed the son of my Han destiny, and the sky will never stop me as a great man. ”

"Teacher, Your Highness is often with ...... That one? ”

Cao Ang suddenly asked, Xun Yu knew that he had always cared about Liu Xie, and Xun Yu was very pleased with this and happy to see it, so he did not blame: "As far as I know, he doesn't appear often, and occasionally he appears mostly to punish His Highness, I think Zixiu should have an impression of this." ”

"Only a strict master can produce a high apprentice, and the great man is hopeful, according to Wenruo, what are we going to do now?"

Xun Yu put down the holy decree in his hand and smiled at Cao Cao: "Just wait and see what happens." ”

Cao Cao also smiled in agreement when he heard this: "What Wen Ruo said is very good. ”。
