The Emperor of the Han Dynasty canonized Cao Cao as the king of Wei and added nine tin to build the Wei state. The capital of the country is in Yecheng.

The territory of Wei was very large, occupying the land of ten counties in Jizhou. There are hundreds of officials such as prime ministers, captains, and generals in the country.

In addition, the emperor of the Han Dynasty also gave Cao Cao 30,000 households, located on the princes and kings, and did not call himself a minister, and he was not worshipped.

Cao Cao was also allowed to worship the world with the crown of the Son of Heaven, the car uniform, the flag, and the suburbs of Lile. In and out of the call police, the temple, the ancestors, are all like the Han system.

Cao Cao's sons were all feudal princes, such as Wang Xiao, who had to be sealed as the plain waiter, and had 5,000 households of food.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the population plummeted. It is already a great thing to have 5,000 households.

Before leaving for Yecheng, Cao Cao summoned everyone to hold a grand banquet.

Most people thought that Cao Cao would announce who his heir was here, but after the smart people learned that Cao Pi was the same feudal lord and had the same 5,000 households, they immediately judged that Boss Cao didn't want to announce it now.

Sure enough, during the banquet, Cao Cao drank to celebrate, and he was very interested in laughing and joking.

Everyone likes this kind of thing, especially the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and they are even more carried away.

Even Cao Ren, who ran back after losing Jiangling, smiled as bright as a chrysanthemum on his face.

Everyone was happy, even Cao Pi.

Originally, when Cao Cao arrested those who were agitating for him, he thought he was finished.

Unexpectedly, not only was he fine, but he was also the best at all. It gave him hope again.

When the banquet was nearing the end, Cao Cao suddenly said, "Zihuan, you stay in Xudu to deal with affairs." ”

The hall, which was still noisy before, suddenly fell silent.

Cao Ren, who was drinking and singing, kicked Cao Hong, who was still eating nonsense, and told him to shut up quickly.

Cao Pi's face at this time was very exciting, and now he turned from black to white, which was terrifying. Follow the change from white to red, which is angry. Eventually, it turned from red to purple, which was the head of the anger.

He's not stupid, he knows as well as everyone else in the hall. Cao Cao left him in Xudu and took Wang Xiao to Yecheng. What this means, everyone knows.

The current situation is that only the last layer has not been pierced.

"Huh?" Cao Cao squinted at him.

Cao Pi came back to his senses, lowered his head reluctantly, got up and left the case, and came out to salute, "Erchen takes orders." ”

At this moment, Cao Pi felt that his spirit had drifted away with these words.

Wang Xiao sat quietly, ignoring the various stares cast around him.

Others may not have understood, but he understood Cao Cao's true intentions.

Boss Cao was making Cao Pi desperate, and gave him a choice to go all the way to the black.

Cao Cao went to Yecheng, and all that was left here in Xu Du were his opponents and famous families.

If Cao Pi is really unwilling to do great things, he will definitely contact these people as allies.

When Cao Cao uses thunderous means to sweep away these people, it will be a devastating blow to the famous families in the Northland.

"It is worthy of Prime Minister Cao."

Wang Xiao fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, and sighed in his heart, "I can push Cao Pi into the fire pit without hesitation, this kind of heart." True Hero. ”

Although it is possible that Cao Pi will not do this kind of thing, even if that is the case, it is feasible to live a life as a happy prince in the future.

However, with Wang Xiao's understanding of Cao Pi, this person will definitely not be depressed.

Cao Pi in history relied on the support of the family to squeeze out Cao Zhi and ascend to the throne. The reason used at that time was also to establish a long and long-term successor.

It's just that Cao Zijian at that time couldn't resist, and in the face of the family's pressure, Cao Cao finally chose to compromise.

As for the later Sima family taking the opportunity to rise and finally conspire to seize the world of Wei or something, it is also a natural thing.

If you borrow the power of the family, then you must be prepared to be eaten by others.

Cao Pi and Cao Ei both died of illness when they were thirty or forty years old, and Wang Xiao would never believe it if there was no cat in it.

It's not impossible to get people to die without you noticing.

One of the simplest and most practical ways to do this is to give you a certain medication all year round. When you need it, you stop taking the medicine suddenly, and you will die of illness within a few days.

Wang Xiao is not proficient in the way of medicine, and he has insisted on studying for many years. I don't know how many times I've been pitted.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, many of them have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have devoted their lives to such a thing. can really achieve the level of a master craftsman, and the technical ability can be called perfect.

Zhen Mi's day is approaching, but moving to Yecheng is an urgent matter.

Wang Xiao's current identity is impossible to stay temporarily. Because this place will soon become Cao Pi's base camp.

It's okay if you have something difficult, just find a way to solve it.

Wang Xiao gathered the craftsmen in the army and built a brand-new carriage in a day's work. And it is not allowed to paint and powder.

It's a four-wheeled carriage, and it's very wide.

If there is no spring steel, it is replaced by brushed steel from which the musket is made. Plenty of goose down is padded in silk on the couch.

The original and simple shock absorption device, as well as the steering device that is estimated to be scrapped when it is used in Yecheng, are all used.

Even the wheels are wrapped in layers of thick cloth to reduce vibrations.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most technologically advanced carriage of this era.

"It's a pity that such a good carriage can only be used once."

Yang Xiu, who followed Wang Xiao throughout the whole process, was very envious of this carriage, and he also wanted to have one.

Not to mention, the shock absorption system that walks on a bumpy road without much vibration is absolutely unheard of.

Because of the lack of steering and shock absorption, Huaxia's carriages have always been two-wheeled.

That kind of bump and vibration is simply making people want to die.

"Don't think about it."

Wang Xiao knew his plan, and said angrily, "Do you know how many muskets can be made from the spring steel used in this carriage?" The production was already very small, and where there was a surplus for horse-drawn carriages. ”

Yang Xiu was confused, what is spring steel, and what is a musket?

I, Yang Dezu, have read all the articles and books in the world, not to mention hundreds of thousands of words. But why have I never heard of these two things? Could it be that the gap between me and Zijian Gongzi is already so big?

Watching the craftsmen carving the cloud pattern on the car, Wang Xiao was also helpless. Perhaps this is the spirit of the craftsmen.

"The carriage wasn't bumpy at all." When setting off, Zhen Mi, who was helped into the carriage, expressed great surprise at the stability of the carriage.

"The road in the city is good, but there will still be bumps outside the city. You can only go as slowly as possible. ”

Wang Xiao is naturally very dissatisfied with the road conditions in this era.

In a big city like Xudu Yecheng, the main road paved with stone slabs is better. But when you leave the main road, you will be covered with dirt on a sunny day and mud on a rainy day.

But this is still good in this era. Because when you get out of the city, that's really deadly.

Cement slate or something, don't even think about it.

Asphalt is a shadowless thing, and it is already a great thing to have a small section of road paved with gravel.

In most cases, it's one big and smaller, one after the other. There are even deep pits that can sink people directly into it on rainy days.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

This is a very reasonable statement, but in an era of lack of productivity. Relying on shoulder resistance to build roads, the only thing that can really achieve large-scale results is the Qin Straight Road built by Zulong.

The carriage that Wang Xiao got out was also bumpy outside the city, but fortunately, there were enough people and he was not in a hurry. They all drove on the grass when they encountered big potholes along the way, and finally crossed the river all the way to Yecheng without danger.

Boss Cao took the mighty military and civilian relatives and the team of civil and military officials to Yecheng that completely belonged to him.

As early as the seizure of Yecheng from the Yuan family, Cao Cao has taken a fancy to this place and has always been carefully managed.

Someone from here has been carefully sorted out before, and all the mansions have been allocated in place.

Wang Xiao's queue went all the way directly to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and everyone carried the bed into the door together and went directly to the bedroom.

There was no major incident along the way, and I was lucky enough.

With so many people coming to Yecheng, it took more than ten days just to settle down.

When he finally settled down, Cao Cao, who liked to be lively, immediately beckoned everyone to his palace of King Wei to have a banquet in the garden.

Seeing that Zhen Mi was approaching, Wang Xiao didn't have the heart to go out to play and feast. But in the end, he was dragged to the Wei Palace by Yang Xiusheng.

Yang Xiu is indeed a smart person, and he has a good grasp of the big things and the details.

But he's too cumbersome, maybe because he's smart, he thinks too much. Determined to maintain Wang Xiao's position in Cao Cao's heart, this visit to the garden must be to pull him over.

"Zijian, don't worry." When he came to the Wei Palace, Yang Xiu smiled and persuaded, "Didn't the doctor say it, there are still a few days to go." When today's tour of the garden is over, you will go back to your home to accompany your wife. ”

Wang Xiao has also been a little concerned recently, after all, men are very nervous at this time.

Fortunately, his ability to adjust is excellent, and he has settled down at this time.

"Zijian Gongzi, when he is in front of King Wei, if he finds an opportunity, he will summon Wuguan Zhonglang to come to Yecheng."

Yang Xiu's advice made Wang Xiao raise his eyebrows, "Make a show in front of everyone and gain fame?" ”

Clapping his hands vigorously, Yang Xiu exclaimed, "Childe's talent is quick, admire, admire." ”

Wang Xiao's face was straight, and his body was full of heroic righteousness, which made people dare not look directly, "Dezu, you misunderstood me." I'm not that kind of hypocrite, I really want my second brother to come to Yecheng and we will be together as a family. ”

Yang Xiu was dumbfounded, Wang Xiao's eyes full of justice, and the majestic tone like a broadcasting cavity, almost made him think that he had changed someone in front of him.

"Alas~~~"

After the righteousness was awe-inspiring, Wang Xiao sighed, "It's just that I am soft-spoken, I'm afraid King Wei will not agree." ”

Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's still the unparalleled scheming son Jiangongzi.

It's just that his acting skills have improved again, and he can't see it.
