After the military meeting was dispersed, Xu Tian left Pang Tong alone.

The two sat face to face, both silent.

Taking a pot of freshly brewed tea, Xu Tian slowly got a cup for Pang Tong.

For a moment, the aroma of tea wafted in all directions11.

"Whatever the king commands, just say it!"

After a long time, it was Pang Tong who broke the silence.

"With the talent of Shiyuan, don't you know what I want to say?"

Xu Tian looked at the teacup in front of him seriously and said lightly.

Pang Tong didn't speak, just took a sip of tea.

Indeed, from the time Xu Tian left him alone, Pang Tong knew what the other party wanted to do.

Although Xu Tian spoke generously at the military meeting.

But smart people know that this is not all he thinks.

Nothing stands the test in the face of absolute interests.

Let's just say Cao Zhen, although he is enthusiastic at the moment.

is grateful to Xu Tian and can't wait to give him his life.

But what about after that, or ten years from now?

Who can guarantee that Cao Zhen's father and son are still so loyal?

Not only that, but this can be regarded as Cao Pi killing Cao Zhen's family.

However, it only takes a golden opportunity to have an absolute benefit.

What kind of family enmity, I'm afraid that he can even give himself to the other party again at that time.

But these are just conjectures in Xu Tian's heart.

Ever since I saw Cao Pi and Cao Zhen turn their faces.

Xu Tian completely understood that except for a very small number of people in this world, everyone else is a person who is dominated by interests.

"The king wants to let Xia stay in Chang'an!"

Pang Tong deserved to be an extremely smart person, and before Xu Tian could speak, he guessed the cause and effect of this incident.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you!"

Xu Tian said very seriously, he knew that this matter was very unfair to Pang Tong.

He was not given a place here, but he was to be kept here.

To put it bluntly, it is to let him suffer for himself here.

"The king's kindness to the subordinates, Pang Tong never dared to forget half a point.

What's more, this matter is nothing in the first place.

It is an honor to be able to stay in the next!

It shows that Pang Tong is a trustworthy person in the heart of the king! ”

Saying these words, Pang Tong stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Tian.

"Shiyuan, hurry up!"

Xu Tian hurriedly stepped forward and personally helped the other party up.

"This matter has indeed wronged you, but be realistic.

Although Chang'an was nominally handed over to Cao Zhen's father and son.

But you are the actual person in charge, whether it is the deployment of the army, or the promotion and removal of personnel, you have full discretion!

I have a letter and our talisman here, you remember, it's up to you how to do it and how to use it!

After that, I will let Yu Ban garrison Wancheng, you are each other's horns, and you can take care of each other!

I'll leave this Chang'an to you! ”

After handing over the things to Pang Tong, Xu Tian took his hand and said seriously.

"Shi Yuan, I've really wronged you all these years..."

Soon after, Xu Tian left Chang'an with people.

Just like when they came, very calm...

…

Sima Yi, who withdrew his troops and returned to Yecheng, went to see Cao Pi as soon as possible.

Cao Pi, who was sitting in the apse, was carefully tasting the food on the table in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to Sima Yi kneeling in front of him.

It wasn't until he had savored it for a full hour that he was satisfied that the food was removed.

From beginning to end, Sima Yi knelt silently.

"Sima Gong, why did you come back so quickly this time?

I still remember that before leaving, you patted your chest and promised me that you would definitely put Cao Zhen's head in front of me.

Now that you're back, where is the head of Cao Zhen's old thief? ”

Cao Pi asked vaguely while rinsing his mouth.

His expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to feel much anger at the incident.

But Sima Yi knew in his heart that Cao Pi was like this.

It shows that the anger in his heart is getting higher and higher.

If you make any mistakes today, you may never be able to go back.

"Please replace Cao Zhen's head with the head below!"

After being silent for a long time, Sima Yi also said lightly.

"Huh?"

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows, spit out the water in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Sima Yi who was lying on the ground.

"You're going to take the place? Shouldn't you count your two precious sons? ”

Sima Yi was shocked, this was what he was most afraid of.

But now it seems that the other party is likely to just scare him.

If Cao Pi really wanted to do it, he wouldn't say it at all.

"If you can calm Your Majesty's anger, even if the whole family dies, you will not hesitate!"

Sima Yi's righteous and awe-inspiring words echoed in the apse.

"Do you think I don't dare?"

Cao Pi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his hands couldn't help but clench into fists.

This old thief is so hateful, and at this time, he is still trying his best to calculate himself.

What would rather take the lives of his whole family in order to appease his anger.

It's just using the lives of his family to blackmail himself.

Once you do it, it will spread throughout the country.

The Sima family sacrificed the lives of their entire family for the emperor.

And Cao Pi himself has become a faint king who kills innocents indiscriminately.

In this way, even if Cao Pi really killed his whole family.

It has fulfilled the reputation of their Sima family.

In this way, no matter what Cao Pi does with Sima Yi today, he will not suffer!

"This cunning old thief!" Cao Pi scolded in his heart again!

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and there is nothing in the world that Your Majesty does not dare to do.

It's just telling the truth, just asking for a quick death! ”

Sima Yi always put his head on the ground and said very sincerely.

Looking at this picture, it's wrong to not let him die!

"Enough!" Cao Pi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Get up, I can't blame you entirely for this!"

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and I am terrified!" Sima Yi kowtowed again.

"The top priority now is to solve the problems within my Great Wei.

In this regard, does Sima Gong have a good strategy? ”

Unwilling to dwell on this issue any more, Cao Pi changed the topic.

The current state of Wei's internal finances is close to collapse.

The influx of Chu coins directly caused prices to fluctuate violently.

Due to the high cost of Chu coins in the early stage, Chu merchants exchanged a large number of goods.

Now he took the same goods and came to Wei again to sell them, earning a huge price difference.

This forced Cao Pi to issue an order banning trading with Chu merchants.

As a result, the market was in turmoil, and the people were holding large sums of money, but they could not buy what they wanted.

Even if Sima Yi did not withdraw his troops rashly this time.

It won't be long before Cao Pi will let them come back.

The current Wei State can no longer support their large-scale war...
