At the end of March of the fourth year of Jian'an, in the largest military camp in Yingchuan County, Cao Pi looked at the seedlings planted in the rice fields stretching along the Yingshui River, and Liu Ye beside him was saying this:

"Childe, Gongsun Chan is finished, I heard that Yi Jingzhong is burning in the sky, and this person has been buried in the fire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"As soon as the north is flat, Yuan Shao is going to fight with my father." Cao Pi looked at the green seedlings and said.

"There is a saying in the sacrificial wine, if you want to fight with Yuan Benchu, you must clear up the troubles."

"Xiapi Liu Bei, Nanyang Zhang Xiu."

"There is still Xu Du Dong Cheng!"

"General Che Cai, Dong Cheng. What is the best way to sacrifice wine? ”

"The sacrificial wine said that this matter still needs the help of the son."

Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "How to help?" ”

Liu Ye stepped forward, lowered his voice and said, "Gongzi needs to go to General Wenlie and borrow the jade seal." ”

As soon as these words came out, the words "clothes and ribbon edict" immediately flashed in Cao Pi's mind. Turning around and leaving the cultivated land, he asked Liu Ye, who was following him: "At this time, as long as you inform my father and give an order to Brother Wen Lie, why do you need me to look for it?" ”

"There is more than one Dong Cheng who wants to get rid of the sacrificial wine."

When Cao Pi heard this, he immediately called the pawn carriage that followed behind, and took a folded white silk from Liu Ye's hand, which was red and smelled of blood. Cao Pi put it in his sleeve without looking at it, and then let Dianman pull him to Cao Xiu's mansion in Xudu City.

If it is a normal Han system, the officials who defend the palace are: the five official Zhonglang General, the Left Zhonglang General, and the Right Zhonglang General. The emperor's personal attendant has a tiger and a general. However, since the return of the Son of Heaven to the east, only Cao Xiu, the commander of the cavalry, has been in charge of the palace guards, and as for the emperor's personal attendant Hu Ben Zhonglang and his tiger Ben attendants, Fu Wan, the father of Empress Fu, is in control.

If anyone can get the emperor's jade seal, it is undoubtedly Cao Xiu's greatest chance, because the number of Tiger Ben's attendants is really much smaller than that of the palace guards under Cao Xiu's command. Cao Xiu was able to transfer people away with a little tricking.

Cao Xiu's mansion is very large, comparable to Xiahou Yuan's, but beyond the white walls and black tiles, there is a bamboo cultivation, which is relatively simple. When he learned of Cao Pi's visit, he immediately welcomed Cao Pi into the main hall and offered the jasmine wine of the Yingchuan Zhong family.

Although Cao Pi's brother guarded the palace, controlled the guards, and won Cao Cao's trust, he was very young, only 20 years old. When he was young, he lived in Wu County with his grandfather, Cao Ding, the Taishou of Wu County. The current Wu County is Sun Ce's territory. When Cao Xiu heard that Cao Cao raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, he immediately traveled thousands of miles from Wu County through Jingzhou to the Central Plains to join Cao Cao, he was only 10 years old that year, Cao Cao saw Cao Xiu and immediately laughed: "This is my Cao family's thousands of miles away!" In this way, he praised his heart for running thousands of miles.

Cao Pi was two years old that year, and Cao Cao asked Cao Xiu to live with Cao Pi, so Cao Xiu also experienced Cao Pi's childhood. When Cao Xiu was 14 years old, he entered the tiger and leopard riding and followed Cao Cao to fight in the world. In the first year of the Son of Heaven's return to the east, he worshiped the commander and was in charge of the palace guards.

Because he was with Cao Pi when he was a child, Cao Xiu, who was tall and a little handsome, had a brother-like affection for Cao Pi, which was even stronger than Cao Pi's own brother Cao Ang. In fact, Cao Ang is not the son of Mrs. Bian, so he is relatively unfamiliar with Cao Pi.

When he arrived at the main hall, Cao Pi took a sip of jasmine wine, and then said, "Brother, my brother has something important." ”

Cao Xiu immediately withdrew from his subordinates, and Dianman also walked out consciously. So Cao Xiu smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cao Pi took out the folded white silk from his sleeve and stepped forward to hand it to Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and Bai Xiu smelled the bloody gas as soon as he started his hand, and his face suddenly became solemn. However, he didn't say much, but opened the white silk.

Cao Pi didn't look at the words on the white silk too much, but just noticed that there were several names on it: Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Liu Bei, Chongji, Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan.

Cao Xiu looked at it for a long time, then put it together and put it in his sleeve. Cao Pi returned to his seat, didn't say a word, just drank.

"This edict is missing a seal."

"Exactly."

"Why didn't Uncle Clan come to give the order? But a virtuous brother? ”

"My father doesn't know, this is the meaning of sacrificial wine."

"Why?"

Cao Pi smiled and said, "The people who want to get rid of the sacrificial wine are not only Dong Cheng. Especially that Liu Xuande, the sacrificial wine has been said several times to get rid of it, but my father doesn't want to hear it. This is the only way to do it. ”

Cao Xiu closed his eyes for a long time and said: "Liu Xuande has seen it for his brother, and he is indeed not a mediocre person. I heard that he has now rebelled against him, and he should indeed be removed. This edict was issued by the Son of Heaven and given to Dong Cheng, but it was stolen by Dong Cheng's subordinates and fell into the hands of his uncle. ”

Cao Pi smiled: "That's right. ”

"If you want to get the seal, you still need to transfer the tiger ben, and it will take some time."

Cao Pi stood up and said, "Thank you, brother." After that, he took his leave and left.

Now he doesn't need to do anything, this edict with the jade seal will eventually be sent to Cao Cao's case, and then the person on the edict will bear Cao Cao's thunderous wrath.

No one cares whether this edict is true or not, because there is only one jade seal of the emperor in the world.

Originally, Cao Pi thought that Dong Cheng would be finished within two months. But this is not the case, in June, the rice in the paddy fields of Juntun and Mintun has begun to bloom, but Dong Cheng is still not dead.

Now the paddy fields of Juntun and Mintun are very spectacular, because there are many flowers hanging on the rice, just like the two acres of land on the edge of the Xiannongtan last year, and some even more.

At this time, not only the people of Xudu can see it, but the people of the entire Yingchuan can see the dense rice flowers swaying in the wind in the military tun and the mintun on the hills and mounds.

This scene made many farmers who had cultivated all their lives burst into tears, knelt and kowtowed, and said that the sky was open.

Of course, the Yang manor in Hongnong County, the manor in Luoshui of the Che Cavalry General, and the Wu Fort newly built by the Fu family in Yuzhou also produced such rice flowers, because they took some seeds from Ren Jun. Yang Biao and Dong Cheng held a rice plant full of rice flowers in the court hall with spit, saying that it was not Xiannong Tian's thaumaturgy to Sikong's son, but because Sikong's son got some good seeds and planted good rice to deceive people's hearts.

This time, Fu Wan, Wu Shuo, Chong Ji, and Wu Zilan spoke one after another, asking the Son of Heaven to go to the palace again to see how he defended.

Cao Cao Tie blushed and said nothing above the court. Let people tell Guo Jia to recruit Cao Pi into the palace. In fact, Ren Jun had already told him that this group of people had taken some seeds, and said that Cao Pi didn't care about it at the time, so he didn't pay attention to it, who knew that the other party also planted such rice, so now Cao Cao also wants to hear how his son justifies.

When Guo Jia came to take Cao Pi to the palace with a gloomy face and asked him why he didn't let Sikong take back the seeds, Cao Pi showed a weird smile and happily followed Guo Jia to the palace.
