Jingzhou in the south was constantly encroached upon by the Sun-Liu coalition army, but Cao Cao could no longer take care of it at this time.

His main focus was on the upcoming canonization of king.

Righteousness and fame.

It is very useful in this era. The illiterate people, who have been working in the fields for many years, and who have not even been able to leave the village for several months, believe this.

All they knew was the dew cloth posted by the officers who came down from the county seat. This king, that marquis, written on Lubu. This doctor, that Jiuqing's.

This is a time when a name alone can be used for money.

Cao Cao was ready to break free from the shackles of the Han family and take complete control of power. Because only in this way can we really concentrate on dealing with Sun Liu's generation.

The first thing he had to do was to gain righteousness and fame.

In Wang Xiao's mansion, he was entertaining Pang Tong and Yang Xiu for a drink.

"The canonization of the prime minister by the Son of Heaven as the king of Wei is already a certainty." Yang Xiu, who was unhappy with the appearance of Pang Tong, wanted to show in front of Wang Xiao that "when the time comes, the matter of canonizing the prince can no longer be delayed." ”

Boss Cao was awarded the title of King of Wei, because his fiefdom was in Wei County, and the seat of Wei County was in Yecheng.

Yecheng's reputation is not as great as that of the East and West Capitals, but in fact, in the late Han Dynasty, it was the third largest city in the world.

As for those cities in the south of the Yangtze River, they were far from having the vast territory and reputation of later generations at this time.

Before the yellow scarf, Guanzhong was dilapidated. In addition to Sili, the most prosperous and populous place in the whole world is Jizhou. The core of Jizhou is in Wei County, and the seat of Wei County is Yecheng.

Cao Cao's choice of this place as his core location was also deliberate.

Yecheng is located in the plain and is rich in products. When there are more things, there will be more natural population, and people are the foundation of everything.

The transportation is well developed, and the water and land are smooth. It is convenient to send troops in all directions.

This place has been governed by Han Fu and Yuan Shao for many years, and it is very suitable as the capital of Wei.

Another thing that is not easy to say is that in Yecheng, you can watch the dynamics of Xu Du's officials who are bent on bringing down Cao Cao.

Yang Xiu got up and saluted in a chic manner, "The minister is willing to build momentum for the son." ”

Wang Xiao smiled and nodded, "Dezu has a heart." ”

Yang Xiu, who felt the attention, looked at Pang Tong who was eating and drinking with a sullen head a little proudly, "Brother Shiyuan, how about you and I go to handle this matter together?" ”

He didn't have good intentions to bring in new people, he purely wanted to establish an identity advantage.

Wang Xiao looked at Yang Xiu provocatively playfully. He also wanted to see how Pang Tong would respond to Yang Xiu with a sense of superiority.

Pang Tong's response was simple, he put down the wine bowl and let out a long sigh.

"I finally know, why Zijian's son Wen Taowu is unparalleled in the world, but he has not been able to determine the identity of the son of the world at this moment. It turned out that the strategist next to him was actually a fool. ”

Yang Xiu was praised for being smart everywhere, and it was the first time he was called a fool.

He didn't go to see the lively Wang Xiao, but laughed angrily, "Dare to ask the smart man Pang Shiyuan, where is the stupidity?" ”

Pang Tong stroked his goatee and looked sideways at Wang Xiao, "Gongzi is really a corporal of Lixian." Even this kind of stupid person can be tolerated around him, and he admires it. ”

Yang Xiu couldn't hold his face, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Pang Shiyuan!" ”

Wang Xiao came out and said "Okay, okay, it's all your own people, don't be like this." ”

Pang Tong smiled, "In the current environment, it is the best choice for Childe not to do anything." ”

Why? Could it be that they just watched Sima Yi and them stumble, and it was not possible to send the five senses Zhonglang to the top position? ”

Pang Tong looked at him suspiciously, "How did you become the master, can't you even see that the prime minister has already chosen Zijian Gongzi as the heir?" At this time, whoever does more will get more wrong. ”

"I've also heard of Sima Yi, who is said to be a resourceful person. Sima Bada, each of them is a masterpiece. I don't know why I couldn't see that Zijian Gongzi was the destiny of heaven. ”

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and coughed, "Mrs. Guo Zhao is Sima Yi's sister-in-law." ”

"Oh~~~"

Pang Tong suddenly realized, "This makes sense, it turns out that the back road has been arranged a long time ago." ”

Wang Xiao pouted, "What Sima Bada, everyone is a master, it's all nonsense." It's just to use his fame to raise the reputation of the children in the family, so that he can come out and become an official in the future. Like that Xun's eight dragons or something, they are all the same routine. ”

In Wang Xiao's view, these are all Internet celebrity routines in this era.

By boasting, create a simple, easy-to-understand, catchy title.

As long as one or two of them come out, like Xun Yu in Xun's Eight Dragons, Xun Yu is like them. Others will subconsciously think that other people's abilities are similar to theirs. After all, they are all called the Eight Dragons.

For this kind of bundling, Wang Xiao said that he has seen too much.

"Hype!"

"Brother Dezu doesn't need to worry about Pang." Pang Tong smiled and walked over with a wine glass, "I don't have the idea of competing with Dezu." There were many offenses before. ”

Yang Xiu was pinched by Pang Tong, and subconsciously picked up the wine glass.

It wasn't until he finished drinking that he realized how he accepted his apology.

Yang Xiu is not stupid, at this time, he really understands that he has met a master. He put away his previous contempt and looked at Pang Tong, who was chatting and laughing with Wang Xiao, seriously.

"Hey, it's so ugly, how can Zijian reuse someone with such an unbearable appearance."

When choosing officials, look at the face, look at the looks, look at the morality, look at the prestige, and look at the reputation.

It's really hard to be chosen for ugly people.

That is, Cao Cao shouted out the meritocracy, which included talent in the important criteria for selecting officials.

In the past, it was only about reputation, which gave birth to an Internet celebrity economy like Sima Bada. The hype business has been around for thousands of years.

Wang Xiao didn't do anything, he went to work in the yamen every day. When the time comes, I clock out and get off work, and go home to accompany Guo Zhao and Zhen Mi, which is low-key and is a mess.

And Cao Pi over there has mobilized almost all his forces to drum up public opinion propaganda.

These people are all children of the family, and what they advocate is very simple, that is, to establish a son to establish a successor. Because this is a rule passed down from our ancestors.

"The ancestors came to you at night and told you this?"

Wang Xiao, who heard the news, was dismissive of this.

It's all a bunch of shameless things, unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal, and everything will be pushed on the head of the ancestors when the time comes. Anyway, the ancestors couldn't jump out and cut them.

Just like Kongqiu, if he knew that his descendants would be the first to kneel whenever a foreign race came, it is estimated that he would go to the end of the world with a sword and hunt down these unscrupulous descendants all over the world.

Standing up is actually a lazy approach.

In this way, conflicts and disputes can be alleviated. After all, everyone is like this, so naturally they will get used to it.

But if everything is distributed completely according to the time of birth, then if you encounter unreliable ones, you will have to destroy the country and your family.

Compared with Liyan, Lixian means competition, which means that ambitious people have to participate in the fierce struggle to the death.

In the end, the most powerful one who raised Gu came out could get everything.

It's a winner-takes-all option that few people do.

As the mastermind of Cao Pi, Sima Yi knew very well that there was no hope of competing from the conventional side. Only from the establishment of a long and a successor can we make a fuss.

This time the momentum is very big, and it can be said that it has alarmed the entire Xu Capital.

Even when Wang Xiao accompanied Zhen Mi for a walk in the garden, she was asking about it.

"Even you know?" Wang Xiao carefully helped her, "The momentum is so big." ”

"It was Guo Zhao's sister who went to Sima Mansion and her righteous sister told her."

Wang Xiao knew what Zhen Mi was worried about, and he patted the back of the woman's hand, "Trust me, don't worry." Sometimes, the higher you are touted, the harder you will fall when you fall. You know, now Prime Minister Kai has not become the king of Wei. ”

The fact that Cao Cao became the king of Wei was a certainty in the eyes of everyone.

But the problem is that the ceremony has not yet taken place.

Even Boss Cao himself has not yet become the king of Wei, and these people can't wait to push Cao Pi to be the son.

Not to mention that Cao Cao had already selected Wang Xiao, even if he hadn't chosen, he would ruthlessly clean up these guys who were waving the flag.

When I Lao Cao is a dead man, I can't do it!

"Leave it alone." Wang Xiao comforted her and said, "It is more important to take care of your body with peace of mind than anything else." You just wait and see, or in a few days, the prime minister will clean them up. ”

Sure enough, as Wang Xiao said, Boss Cao, who had never expressed his position, suddenly made a move after everyone jumped out and arrested all the relevant people involved in it into prison.

Because most of the people who were caught were children of the family, there was an endless stream of people who begged for mercy.

And the behavior of these people made Cao Cao even more disgusted, and his desire to hit the family became stronger and stronger.

In the end, most of them were released, but Liu Zhen, the leader, was put to work in a hard labor camp.

Within a few days, the people were gone.

Before the momentum in Xudu, it seemed that Cao Pi was about to be established as the prince of Wei the next day. It was quelled in a short time, and no one brought it up again.

Zhen Mi, who was embroidering a cloak for Wang Xiao, said softly to appease the sullen Guo Zhao and said, "Don't worry, husband."
