Sima Yi and others were outside the main entrance.

Cao Shuo walked out with Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, and Sima Yi stepped forward.

They didn't say anything to each other, he bowed, and Cao Shuo nodded and walked directly past him.

The guards had already brought the horses.

Turning over and getting on the horse, Cao Shuo greeted everyone and took the lead towards Xun Yu's residence.

Sima Yi and the others followed behind him.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao always had embarrassment on their faces.

Especially Zhu Ao, the closer he got to Xun Yu's residence, the more uncomfortable he felt.

When Mrs. Huan gave Xun Yu poisonous wine, he was with him.

witnessed Xun Yu being poisoned, and then accompanied Cao Shuo to visit, and Zhu Ao's temperament always felt that something was wrong.

Cao Shuo didn't look back, but Sima Yi glanced back at him.

Finding Sima Yi looking at him, Zhu Ao frowned and turned his face to the side.

Deng Zhan glanced at him, and Zhu Ao's expression was a little more normal.

When he came to the door of Xun Yu's house, Cao Shuo saw two white lanterns hanging at the door.

Xun Yu's funeral was really simple.

The rituals carried out by Sima Yi were all carried out in secret, and the people outside the house could only tell the dead man from the two white lanterns hanging at the door.

As for who died, few people can guess.

Coming to the door of Xun Yu's house, Sima Yi dismounted first.

He himself went up and knocked at the door.

The door opened, and a head poked out of it.

Seeing that it was Sima Yi standing at the door, the servant who opened the door hurriedly greeted: "General Sima......"

"The lord came to offer condolences, why don't you open the door quickly?" Sima Yi whispered.

Looking behind him, seeing that Cao Shuo was indeed not far away, the servant hurriedly opened the door and bowed to the side.

Cao Shuo led people into the courtyard.

The servant closed the door, and the people dismounted.

"Where is the mourning hall?" Cao Shuo asked.

Sima Yi glanced at his servant.

The servants hurriedly led the way.

Xun Yu's mourning hall was built in accordance with the rites of the Three Princes.

The cause of his death was delicate, Shouchun did not dare to come to mourn, although the mourning hall was quite imposing, but the door was extremely depressed.

The display of portraits of the deceased in mourning halls did not become popular until hundreds of years later.

In Xun Yu's mourning hall, there are only tributes for burial and a tablet engraved with his official title and surname.

Standing in the mourning hall, Cao Shuo's mood was extremely complicated.

stopped him on the street and asked him to send troops to fight against Cao Pi, the reason was to support the deposed emperor of the Han family to regain the throne, which shows that Xun Yu is really loyal to the Han family, not the Cao family.

Not to mention that he was once only the son of the Cao family, and his relationship with Xun Yu was far less stable than that between Cao Cao and him.

It would be a trouble to keep Xun Yu sooner or later, but he just died......

Cao Shuo still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Discomfort is for sure, he didn't mean to blame Ding Yao.

There are some things that he is inconvenient to do, but Ding Yao does, but it saves him a lot of trouble.

Accompanied by Sima Yi standing in front of the mourning hall, Cao Shuo was sighing in his heart, and Deng Zhan, who was guarding the door, hurriedly walked in.

Leaning into Cao Shuo's ear, Deng Zhan whispered: "Lord, something happened to the government." ”

Sima Yi said before that the government would catch fire tonight, but Cao Shuo still pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There was a fire." Deng Zhan replied: "It's strange to say that the place where the fire broke out was precisely the room where Xun Gong's body was parked, and the other houses were intact. ”

"What about the corpse?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Rescued, but unrecognizable, unrecognizable."

Cao Shuo didn't speak anymore and waved his hand at Deng Zhan.

After Deng Zhan retreated, Cao Shuo looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi lowered his head and said nothing.

The people who came tacitly did not say a word in Xun Yu's mourning hall.

"Thick burial Xun Gong." Cao Shuo explained to Sima Yi, and then ordered: "Let's go!" ”

The fire was quickly extinguished.

The news of Xun Yu's death soon reached the ears of Cao Pi in Yecheng.

Cao Pi, who has ascended the throne, has gathered a lot of powerful helpers around him.

Those who were close to Cao Shuo at the beginning were either killed or stripped of power, and the only choice for those who wanted to be stable was to swear allegiance to Cao Pi.

The former Yecheng Cao family has now become Cao Pi's temporary palace.

In the backyard study, Cao Pi looked at the letters on the table very casually.

These letters are all left behind by Cao Cao.

Some of them were exchanges between Cao Shuo and Cao Cao.

Browsing the letters one by one, Cao Pi said without raising his head: "Xun Wenruo is dead." ”

Except for him, there was only Chen Qun in the room.

Chen Qun bowed down and said, "If Xun Wen had served the eldest son, I expected him to die. ”

"As long as it's human, it's going to die." Cao Pi looked up at him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Not only Xun Wenruo will die, but you and I will also die." ”

"Your Majesty said yes." Chen Qun replied: "It's just that death is different from death, Xun Wenruo's death left a lot of strange things. ”

"Nothing strange about it." Cao Pi said casually: "If Xun Wen were in Yecheng, I would kill him too." If he doesn't die, how can Cao Zirong rest assured? ”

"Your Majesty means ......" Of course Chen Qun knew what Cao Pi meant, but he didn't say it.

Cao Pi said: "What else can it mean? It is nothing more than Cao Zirong wanting to be the emperor. ”

"Your Majesty thinks he also intends to be emperor?" Chen Qun replied: "In fact, Cao Zirong can use His Majesty to depose the Emperor of the Han Family and raise troops to fight against ......."

"Ten years ago, he would have done that." Cao Pi said: "But doing so now doesn't do any good, but it will make him miss the good time to become the emperor." You and I know very well what kind of person he is. How could a person like him be loyal to the Han court? ”

"In the past, the emperor of the Han family was not kind to him." Chen Qun frowned: "For so many years, he has fought in the south and the north, isn't it for the sake of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Since I ascended the throne, where are the great men?" Cao Pi stood up and walked to the window.

He looked out the window: "You once persuaded me to move the capital, but at that time I thought it was not necessary. Now it seems that it is really necessary! ”

"Your Majesty is determined to move the capital, I don't know if you plan to go to Luoyang or Chang'an?" Chen Qun asked again.

"Do you think you should go to Luoyang or Chang'an?" Cao Pi did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Luoyang." Chen Qun replied almost without thinking.

"Luoyang has already been burned by Dong Zhuo." Cao Pi looked back at him: "I don't know how much grain is needed to rebuild Luoyang, why did you choose there instead of Chang'an?" You must know that Chang'an also has a palace, and it is a lot easier to go there. ”

"Chang'an is too far away from Shouchun, once the capital is moved there, the eastern states and counties will be handed over to the eldest son." Chen Qun said: "Moving the capital to Luoyang can not only control the states and counties, but also transfer the army in time once you fight with the eldest son. ”
