Summary of the previous chapter: Yang Guang and Yuan Fang were accused by Lu Xian to death, the two didn't care about their life and death, and they now pinned all their hopes on Ma Xiaoquan

In the first month of the 23rd year of Emperor Jian'an of the ++++++++++++++++++++++ Han Dynasty (218 AD), the imperial physician Ji Ben, Shaofu Geng Ji, and Si Zhi Wei Huang suddenly raised troops to besiege Xudu.

Cao Cao was shocked and immediately sent his son Cao Pi to Xu Du to rescue him.

Cao Cao's so-called "rescue", in fact, is just not to let the Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie fall into the hands of others, although Liu Xie has no substantive rights, but in today's world is still surnamed Liu, as long as the surname Liu is one day, Cao Cao will not allow other people to fight Liu Xie's idea. Although he is already the king of Wei and has the right to open a government and govern the country, nominally, he still belongs to the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao himself could coerce the Son of Heaven to order him not to be subordinate, but he would never allow others to have the same thoughts as him.

However, this time the danger of Xu Du was actually planned by Liu Xie.

When Liu Xie said his plan to escape from Xu Du, the three people around him: Taiyi Yoshimoto, Shaofu Geng continued, and Si Zhi Wei Huang immediately stepped forward to ask for his life and asked for "progress".

Liu Xie also knew what the idea of these three people was, but he was used to being "held hostage" since he was a child, and he didn't care anymore, as long as he could escape from Cao Cao's "clutches" and escape from Cao Cao's surveillance, Liu Xie was willing to say anything.

However, Liu Xie underestimated Cao Cao's IQ and underestimated Cao Pi's ability.

Cao Pi didn't have a lot of scruples about Liu Xie as his father, and when Yoshimoto and others "threatened" Cao Pi with Liu Xie's life, Cao Pi said a sentence that immediately made Liu Xie change his mind.

Cao Pi said: Liu Xie, are you willing to start and finish well, or will we set up a new king?

When Cao Pi said this, everyone present was stunned. If it was placed in the past, this sentence would definitely be a rebellious rebellious statement, but now Cao Pi's identity is no longer a simple general with facial features, but the crown prince of Wei.

Liu Xie gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't do anything, and in the end, Liu Xie chose to give up, and Cao Pi also took advantage of the situation to kill all Yoshimoto and others.

When Liu Xie was "invited" back to the palace of Xudu, Cao Pi said another sentence in Liu Xie's ear, which directly made Liu Xie sick for more than a month.

There were several officials present at the time, and they were all very curious about what Cao Pi said, but no one opened their mouths to ask. It wasn't until two years later that Cao Pi became the emperor and talked about the scene of this day and said what he said at the beginning.

Cao Pi said: Liu Xie, you won't die, because you married my sister, but you won't be the emperor for a few years, because I will be the next emperor, the emperor of a new dynasty, if you want to ask why, then go and ask Lord Shangxian

It's a pity that on the day Cao Pi became the emperor, Ma Xiaoquan had already left this era, if Ma Xiaoquan was present, he would definitely beat Cao Pi hard, because what Ma Xiaoquan said to Cao Pi was not what he meant.

Let's take a moment back in time, back to before the danger of Xudu.

Since Cao Pi became the crown prince of Wei, he has continued to act in a low-key manner and be a low-key person.

Cao Pi's move was appreciated by many of the courtiers of the Wei king, especially those who were opposed to him becoming the crown prince at first.

And Ma Xiaoquan, although no one is upright on the surface, he has helped Cao Pi several times in private, and recommended him Sima Yi to himself.

And Cao Pi, since he has Sima Yi by his side, not only does his work solidly, but he also acts quite low-key and calm.

Therefore, Cao Pi is very grateful to the immortal Lord Ma Xiaoquan.

Because Ma Xiaoquan refused to accept any gifts from Cao Pi, Cao Pi had no choice but to secretly go to the Ma family compound to visit Ma Xiaoquan in private and thank him in person.

After seeing Lord Shangxian and thanking him, Cao Pi asked Ma Xiaoquan for advice on the current shape of the world.

Cao Pi learned from his father that although Lord Shangxian does not participate in the disputes of the world, Lord Shangxian's analysis of the general trend of the world is very accurate.

Ma Xiaoquan understood Cao Pi's thoughts, but in view of the fact that it was still early, Ma Xiaoquan said something that had nothing to do with the shape of the world.

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Everyone has the day when they grow old, and everyone has the day when they lose, no matter what happens in the future, it is a matter of history that no one knows, even if they know, they will not want to know, for example, today you become the overlord, but tomorrow, he will overthrow you and become the new overlord."

When Ma Xiaoquan said this, he just expressed some emotion, but he didn't expect that after Cao Pi understood it, it became a wise saying that he remembered all his life.

Since Ma Xiaoquan said this sentence, it has been affecting the day of Cao Pi's death, and when Cao Pi was dying, he did not forget to instruct his son Cao Rui several times.

It's a pity that although Cao Rui is talented, he is a little worse than his grandfather Cao Cao and father Cao Pi.

One day after Cao Rui became emperor, he chatted with Sima Yi and talked about what his father told him. Cao Rui said it in a joke, but Sima Yi listened to it intentionally and memorized it firmly.

After Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi took the position and firmly grasped Wei's military and political power

In February of the twenty-third year of ―――――――――――――――― Jian'an, Cao Pi returned to Ye, and Cao Cao played a triumphant song to celebrate his son, and invited Ma Xiaoquan, the master of Shangxian.

At the same time, Ma Xiao, the son of the Ma family and the future head of the Ma family, who went out, also returned home.

Taking advantage of the joy of Cao Pi's triumphant return, Ma Xiaoquan gave the position of the head of the Ma family to Ma Xiao, and entrusted most of the decision-making power of the Ma family to the eldest son Ma Xiao, and he only kept his own part of the work.

It was also at this time that Lu Xian also began the final preparations.

Since Lu Xian had read "Emperor Wu Benji", he also knew that Cao Cao would die of illness two years later, and once Cao Cao died of illness, the situation would inevitably change. At that time, if Ma Xiaoquan really had a spare key as Yuan Fang said, and then disappeared, then the solar recorder Lu Xian would never think about it again.

With this in mind, Lu Xian began to make active deployments. After careful consideration, Lu Xian decided to take the initiative

This life-and-death game, which has lasted for more than 20 years, has finally officially kicked off from now on.

In Ma Xiaoquan's left eye, Yuan also had a series of reactions, which seemed to be "instigated" by the historical source, and Yuan told Ma Xiaoquan of Lu Xian's hiding place.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't go to Lu Xian quickly, but planned with Yuan first.

The construction given by the source to Ma Xiaoquan was to find Lu Xian directly, but Ma Xiaoquan thought that before he found Yuan Fang, even if he caught Lu Xian, it would not be of much use.

After arguing for a long time, Yuan finally compromised Ma Xiaoquan's method, after all, Yuan Fang really didn't find it.

In March of the twenty-third year of Jian'an, as Cao Hong defeated the Shu general Wu Lan, Ma Jiayuan's new manor in Yuyang was also arranged.

Ling'er and other ladies had lived in Yuyang for a while, during which they wrote to Ma Xiaoquan that Yuyang was very good and hoped that he could come to get together.

On the other hand, Mao Gang also rushed back from Xiangyang.

Because his uncle Mao Jie was removed from his official position, Mao Gang took over his uncle, purchased a piece of land in Yecheng, built a manor, and named the manor "Maojiawan".

In ancient times, the construction of houses was not like the modern society, which was assisted by advanced construction tools. If you want to build a large estate, the investment of human and financial resources is quite huge, and the time is also quite long.

When Mao Gang told Ma Xiaoquan about the construction plan of "Maojia Bay", Ma Xiaoquan was also shocked.

Based on Ma Xiaoquan's understanding of Mao Gang, although Mao Gang has some money, he definitely can't afford such a big construction project. But Mao Gang is such a big stroke as soon as he makes a move, it seems that the "rebel" written on the genealogy is Mao Gang.

Ma Xiaoquan pretended not to know, and "enthusiastically" sent a "construction fund" to the apprentice, and in private, Ma Xiaoquan secretly instructed Ma Zheng to keep an eye on Mao Gang.

Ma Zheng, because he had to go to the court during the day, he could only act at night, so after a few days, the eight-foot-two young man lost weight all of a sudden, and Hua Yuexin complained to Ma Xiaoquan for a while.

Still, hectic things keep coming one after another.

At the end of last year, the twin sisters of Ma Jia Ma Yi married the Hun Han Nalatu together, at this time, the sisters were also pregnant, due to the difficult conditions in Mobei, the sisters were not adaptable, Nalatu sent the sisters back temporarily, let them give birth to a baby and then return to Mobei.

This time, the Ma family compound is busy.
