Cao Shuo successfully broke away from Yecheng and took Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others with him.

Failing to leave him or kill him, Cao Pi was full of chagrin.

Back at Cao's house, he sent a messenger to summon Cao Zhi, who was guarding Xudu, to take Liu Xie to Yecheng after he was furious.

Since he arrived in Xudu, Cao Zhi has been committed to guarding the foundation of the Cao family.

Occasionally, he would get some news from Yecheng.

Cao Cao and Cao Shuo were still in Xiliang, and Cao Zhi heard that Cao Pi had taken control of Yecheng.

Sensing that things were not good, Cao Zhi sent a messenger to inform Cao Shuo.

However, at that time, Cao Shuo was leading troops to fight with Han Sui and others in Xiliang.

The messenger sent by Cao Zhi has never returned, and it is still unknown whether he is alive or dead......

Sitting in the front hall of the Xudu Mansion.

asked people to send away the messenger sent by Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi's face became very bad.

"Third son, it's time to make a decision." Ding stepped forward: "Whether to follow the second son or the eldest son, it's all in the son's thoughts." ”

Cao Zhi frowned and looked at Ding: "According to the salute, what should I do?" ”

Ding didn't answer directly, but asked Cao Zhi: "Who does the son think is more capable of achieving great things, the second son or the eldest son?" ”

"The second brother can endure humiliation and burden in order to succeed, and there is no flesh and blood affection in his eyes." Cao Zhi said: "And the eldest brother is very good to the brothers, and after Wancheng, he is already the veritable successor of the Cao family......

Speaking of this, Cao Zhi suddenly stopped.

After staring at Ding for a while, he shook his head and smiled: "If you don't say anything directly about salute, I have to think about it myself, it's really getting worse and worse." ”

"There are many things that only when the son thinks about it himself, can he think clearly." Ding replied: "If we tell everything, the son doesn't do things as he pleases, and if we blame him afterwards, we can't shirk it." ”

"As my staff, I actually used this reason to prevaricate." Cao Zhi said: "I won't pursue you, but you have to give me an idea for the next question." ”

"Childe, please speak." Ding replied.

"Now that Your Majesty is in Xudu, should I bring him to Shouchun?" Cao Zhi said: "If we take him with us, we will inevitably encounter a half-way intercepted ...... on the road."

"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, if the prince goes to Shouchun and doesn't bring him with him, is it possible to leave him with the second son?" Ding Yi, who was sitting there, also stood up: "Back then, Duke Cao started his family precisely because he welcomed His Majesty to Xudu. If the son sent him to Shouchun, how could the eldest son not be overjoyed? ”

Cao Zhi was stunned.

He only thought that it would be more troublesome to take Liu Xie on the road, but he didn't consider that once Liu Xie was sent to Shouchun, it would bring him endless glory and Cao Shuo's trust.

Awakened by Ding Yi's words, Cao Zhi immediately made a decision: "Pass my order, order all the soldiers and horses to bring Your Majesty, and go to Shouchun tonight." ”

Ding Yi, Ding and a group of officials carried out their orders without mentioning them, only saying that Cao Zhi, and after making a decision, he left the official palace with a few guards and went to the palace.

Since he was sent to Xudu, Cao Zhi has not been to the palace much.

As the son of the Cao family, he has had a deep-rooted concept since he was a child.

The world was brought down by the Cao family, and the one in the palace was just a puppet.

It was precisely because of such a thought that he would consider not taking Liu Xie to Shouchun before.

If it weren't for Ding Yi's reminder, Cao Zhi would really have ignored the emperor who was on the throne but couldn't decide the world.

In charge of Xu Du's affairs, Liu Xie's safety was in Cao Zhi's hands for a long time.

Hearing from the mouth of the Chang servant that Cao Zhi was coming, Liu Xie hurriedly summoned him.

Walking into the front hall, Cao Zhi bowed to Liu Xie: "Knock to see Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xie actually stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Zijian has been in charge of Xu Du for many days, but he rarely comes to see me, how can I have leisure today?" ”

"I've come here to ask Your Majesty what he means." Cao Zhi asked, "Is Your Majesty willing to go to Yecheng or Shouchun?" ”

Being in the palace and the news is closed, of course Liu Xie doesn't know the meaning of Cao Zhi's words.

Cao Pi sent people to Xudu, and Cao Zhi learned the news of Cao Cao's death.

Before he had time to serve his filial piety, he came to see Liu Xie, so Liu Xie didn't see anything.

Liu Xie looked at Cao Zhi in astonishment: "What does Zijian mean?" ”

"My father passed away a few days ago." Cao Zhi's face showed sadness: "The second brother occupies Yecheng and wants me to escort His Majesty to see him." And the eldest brother returned to Shouchun, although he didn't send anyone over, but I thought that it might be safer to vote for him. In any case, His Majesty is the lord of the world, so I came to ask His Majesty what he means. ”

has been a puppet emperor for many years, how could Liu Xie not even have this awareness?

Of course, he knew that Cao Zhi had actually made plans for a long time.

He came to the palace to ask him, but in fact he was just telling him that it was time to move.

From Cao Zhi's words, Liu Xie heard that he wanted to go to Shouchun.

Because he was not sure, Liu Xie asked tentatively, "What does Zijian think of going to Shouchun?" ”

"Your Majesty also thinks it's appropriate to go to Shouchun?" Of course, knowing that Liu Xie was tempting, Cao Zhi simply said: "Your Majesty and the ministers coincide with each other. The eldest brother is a generous person, and for so many years, the Cao family has sent troops, only he has almost no defeat. Going to Shouchun and relying on the eldest brother is the decision to stabilize the British name of the Han design. ”

"I and Zirong have also had several fates." Liu Xie said: "Over the years, Zirong has been diligent and diligent, if I can be by his side for a long time, I will indeed feel a lot more at ease." ”

As the emperor of the declining Han Dynasty, if Liu Xie was an eyeless person, he would have died many times.

How could Cao Zhi not see that he was following his own meaning?

"When I came, I was worried that His Majesty wanted to go to Yecheng." Cao Zhi said: "Since Your Majesty and the ministers coincide with each other, please prepare, and we will go to Shouchun early tomorrow morning." ”

"In such a hurry?" Liu Xie was stunned: "It's only half a day, I'm afraid of ......"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about anything." After all, Liu Xie is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it stands to reason that Cao Zhi must not interrupt him, but Cao Zhi just did this: "I will lead Xu Jiangshi to escort him along the road, and I will also send a messenger to ask the eldest brother to send someone to greet him." The eldest brother has a cloud of warriors, as long as he contacts the people he sent to greet him, there will never be anything wrong with him again. ”

"Zijian already has a plan, it's up to you." The words were interrupted by Cao Zhi, Liu Xie already knew that even if he felt hasty, he couldn't change the result of leaving Xu Du early the next morning, so he simply agreed.

"Early tomorrow morning, the ministers will come to greet Your Majesty." Cao Zhi bowed and left.

Cao Zhi left and walked out of the screen behind Liu Xie.

Out came a woman with a towering crown and a brocade dress.

The woman is none other than Liu Xie's queen Fu.

"Your Majesty really plans to go to Shouchun?" Coming behind Liu Xie, Queen Fu asked in a low voice. 2k reading web
