【672】Departure(1)
Synopsis of the previous chapter: The conversation with Cao Cao continued, during which Ma Xiaoquan told Cao Cao some of his secrets, and at the same time revealed that he was like Cao Cao, unwilling to touch the unknown in the future
+++++++++++++++++++++++ Cao Cao regarded Ma Xiaoquan's smile and silence as Ma Xiaoquan's acquiescence, so he smiled bitterly: "If I had your ability, this country, I would have been unified~"
Ma Xiaoquan joked to Cao Cao: "What, you still have this ambition?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "I had it when I was young, but now I can't do it."
"Didn't you think your son would do it for you?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Do you say Cao Pi or Cao Zhi?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan deliberately said wrong: "Isn't Cao Zhang counted?" ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Cao Zhang is at most a general, and he is very good at commanding troops, but in terms of mental strategy, he is far inferior to Cao Pi and Cao Zhi." ”
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Mengde, in fact, you appreciate Cao Zhi more in your heart, right?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "Cao Zhi is good, but he is not calm enough, so I handed over the power to Cao Pi." But Cao Pi, this stinky boy, is too narrow-minded, I'm afraid that in the future"
Ma Xiaoquan answered: "I'm afraid I'll poison my brother in the future, right?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Well, you can make a will and make a few orders, so that Cao Pi cares about the majesty of your father and the supervision of the world, I am afraid that he will not be able to kill his brother." ”
Cao Cao thought for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, why do I think you are tricking me?" You asked me to write a will as an instruction, in fact, you also want me to add your Ma family's preservation conditions to it, right? ”
Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and nodded: "Smart, too smart, worthy of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, this is all thought of." ”
Cao Cao laughed, stretched out his hand to Ma Xiaoquan and said, "If you can take out a pen and paper now, I will write it immediately." ”
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "Really? ”
Cao Cao looked at Ma Xiaoquan carefully, saw that there was no bulging part on his body, and nodded: "Of course~"
"Okay, what you said~" As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan stood up, stepped on the small stool, lifted his trouser legs, touched off a sheepskin, and kept a carbon brush.
"You" Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little speechless when he saw this.
"Wait a minute, it's not over yet~" Ma Xiaoquan changed his foot and "tore" an inkstone from another trouser leg.
Cao Cao looked at Ma Xiaoquan's posture and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you Ma Xiaoquan has already been ready, but there is a paper (sheepskin) pen inkstone, no inkstone, how to tidy it?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows: "Inkstone? Isn't this stool a ready-made inkstone, come, use it for you~"
Cao Cao: "Okay~~"
Cao Cao was also simply, and did not suddenly change his mind because of Ma Xiaoquan's full preparation, and after a while, Cao Cao wrote a will, and called Mrs. Bian to take his Wei Wang seal and seal it.
Ma Xiaoquan took the will and read it, smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, this thing has to be handed over to Mrs. Bian for safekeeping~"
Mrs. Bian nodded and carefully put away the will.
Looking at her husband's ruddy cheeks, Mrs. Bian suddenly had an illusion that her husband could continue to live.
"Lord Shangxian, husband and wife"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, put away the wine jug and glass, and arched his hand at Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, I'll go~"
Cao Cao nodded: "Okay, by the way, Lord Shangxian, your wine tastes good, I like it very much, haha"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and turned away.
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan walked on his front foot, Cao Cao's back foot was paralyzed and he was soft on the bed.
"Husband~" Mrs. Bian was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Cao.
Cao Cao struggled to open his eyes, looked at Mrs. Bian's haggard face, and said distressedly: "Bian Er, my time is running out, the will I wrote just now, you should read it in front of everyone after I die."
Mrs. Bian flattened her mouth, hummed hard, and said, "Husband, are you worried about Zhi'er?" ”
Cao Cao exhaled and nodded very lightly and slowly.
"Don't worry, husband, I won't let anything happen to Zhi'er."
Cao Cao smiled, his eyes were empty for a while, and then he lost his voice
Cao Cao's sudden departure caused a panic in the Wei Palace, the crown prince Cao Pi received the news of his father's death, and rushed back with a few younger brothers non-stop.
At this moment, Cao Pi was excited and sad in his heart, excited that his father was finally dead, and he could finally inherit the throne of King Wei, and he was sad that his father died, and there were many things that he didn't finish during his life that he still needed to deal with by himself.
Cao Cao's death made Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and other Cao children very sad.
Losing his father's protection, Cao Zhi had a strong fear in his heart. In the past, he competed with his brother Cao Pi for the throne of the King of Wei, Cao Zhi gave his brother a lot of stubble, and now that his father is dead, his brother inherits the King of Wei, and with his brother Cao Pi's strength, he will naturally find a way to abuse himself.
"What to do? What to do? Cao Zhi kept beating the drum in his heart.
At this moment, Cao Zhi's mother, who was also Cao Pi's mother, stepped forward, took out a sheepskin from her sleeve pocket, and shouted to everyone: "My husband left a will before his death, and I will read it to you here."
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and reached out to snatch the will from his mother's hand, but unfortunately Cao Pi's movements were too slow to reach it.
Mrs. Bian glanced at Cao Pi in disgust, and Cao Pi was unwilling to put down the "salty pig hand".
Everyone in the Wei Palace's Mansion heard Mrs. Bian speak, and gradually quieted down, looking at Mrs. Bian.
Mrs. Bian found a high place and stood up, holding the sheepskin and shaking it in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is the will left by my husband, I will read it to you, please listen clearly~"
Mrs. Bian unfolded the sheepskin and read it word by word.
Cao Pi was still a little panicked, afraid that his father would suddenly change his mind in the will and give the throne of King Wei to his younger brother Cao Zhi, but after listening to the will read by his mother, Cao Pi felt relieved, it turned out that his father just didn't let their brothers kill each other.
Cao Pi secretly glanced at Cao Zhi, who was not far away, and said in his heart: Daddy is not afraid that I will poison Cao Zhi's guy by doing this? Hmph, I really thought about it, but since my father's will said it, then I won't kill Cao Zhi, but hehe, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be forgiven
Cao Pi raised his head, looked at his mother, Mrs. Bian, and nodded lightly at Mrs. Bian, meaning Mother, don't worry, I won't hurt my own brother, why are we also compatriots.
After Cao Zhi listened to his father's will, his originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
Anyway, with my father's dying will, my life was at least saved.
