The person Lu Hongchun visited at night was not him, but the confidant of the second son Cao Pi - Zhu Shuo and Zhu Yancai.

In the original history, Zhu Shuo, together with Wu Zhen, Chen Qun, and Sima Yi, assisted Cao Pi, and was known as the "Four Friends of Wei Shizi"

, but on this timeline, Wu Zhen had already been fished away by Shi Xun, and Cao Pi failed to be the heir, so Chen Qun, Sima Yi and other children of the family did not vote, only Zhu Shuo, who was from a humble background, still followed the historical inertia and went to Cao Pi's thigh, which was not too thick at this time.

In fact, Cao Pi originally had no intention of arguing for the heir.

One is that Cao Ang is the eldest brother, although he is also a concubine, but his mother Mrs. Liu died early, and entrusted her son to Cao Cao's main room Mrs. Ding to raise her, Mrs. Ding has no children, and Cao Ang is her own son - according to the patriarchal system, as long as Mrs. Ding has nothing to do, then Cao Ang can be longer than the grandson.

In the original history, Jia Xu also relied on a sentence with the same meaning to make Cao Cao finally give up Cao Zhi and establish Cao Pi as his heir.

Yuan Shao and Liu Biao only had the intention of abolishing the establishment, and before the final verdict was made, it had already caused turmoil in the family, and the subordinates were divided into two - that was still when Yuan Shang and Liu Cong were both sons of the step-family and were also considered sons-in-law.

In this timeline, Cao Ang is not dead, Mrs. Ding is not divorced from Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Mrs. Bian, Cao Xiong's mother, are just side rooms, so these four boys are all concubines, how can they have the energy to shake Cao Ang's foundation?

Second, Cao Cao also liked Cao Ang very much, and seemed to have had the intention of making him his official heir very early, and Cao Ang was humble and respectful, and he was also unanimously supported by the ministers of Wei.

In the original history, after Cao Cao divorced Mrs. Ding in the early years of Jian'an, he was about to straighten Mrs. Bian, but officially determined Cao Pi's heir status.

There was a gap of more than ten years - even after the accession to the throne of Wei.

But in this timeline, Cao Cao was crowned Duke of Wei, that is, the Son of Heaven, with Cao Ang as the son of Duke Wei - it can be seen that Cao Cao's love for Cao Ang is extraordinary.

It's something that the brothers can't compare to at all.

Cao Pi is a smart child, and his greatest wisdom is that he refuses to covet non-hopes—things that have almost no chance, and if he wants to fight for them, he will cause trouble, and this wise man will not take it.

Cao Pi's ideals.

That is, when Wei Yiwei replaced the Han Dynasty, he could be crowned king, just like the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, and he would have a county forever, which was enough.

But not long after Cao Cao was crowned King of Wei.

Mrs. Ding died suddenly, which shook Cao Ang's foundation.

All the officials of the court wanted to send the daughter of their own clan to the Duke of Wei's mansion and give Cao Cao as a steproom, but unfortunately Cao Cao couldn't look down on any of them - Cao Cao was a famous mature woman and a wife, and he really couldn't be interested in the girl who didn't know the world.

Cao Cao wanted to straighten one of the side rooms, and he liked Mrs. Bian the most, but he pondered again.

If the Bian family is corrected, the three sons will become sons-in-law (Cao Xiong died early) in a blink of an eye, which will easily affect Cao Ang's heir status.

Therefore, the proposal had to be put on hold for the time being.

However, Cao Cao's idea was detected by Cao Pi, and Cao Zihuan couldn't help but have a different heart - a real smart person is also able to grasp the opportunity in time and never back down when it is time to fight.

He vaguely saw the throne of the Duke of Wei, and even the throne of the Son of Heaven beckoning to him, if he missed it.

It will be a lifelong regret!

Therefore, I racked my brains to help my mother and relatives on the throne of Wei's justice room, so that I could be a good son and a mother; Or find a way to remove Cao Ang from power.

Then in the order of the second son, he can logically carry the throne as the heir.

So Zhu Shuo planned to seize the heir for Cao Pi.

The most important step is to secretly befriend Lu Hong, the school officer, so that he can find out all kinds of hidden things, facilitate the courtiers, and find an opportunity to push Cao Ang from power.

For school affairs, Cao Ang, a traditional scholar who is loyal to Geng Jie, has always been very disgusted - perhaps related to the fact that he has always been a self-appointed minister and has never considered problems from the position of the monarch - has always refused to give Lu Hong a good look, and Lu Hong must be worried because of this, if Cao Cao is not there one day, Cao Ang will be the heir, will he end up like Zhao Da?

He is much more shrewd than Zhao Da, and his means of doing things are much softer, and he never deliberately frames the ministers in power, and even secretly colludes with Shixun to help each other.

He said in his heart how difficult it is for me to do this step, if you are so incompatible, then don't blame me for self-protection, strike first!

Zhu Shuo took advantage of Lu Hong's psychology of suffering from gains and losses, and smoothly dragged him onto Cao Pi's thief ship.

So whenever Cao Cao went on an expedition and left Cao Ang behind, Lu Hong immediately transferred all his energy to that prince, almost using a magnifying glass or even a microscope to observe, in a vain attempt to find Cao Ang's mistakes and report to Cao Pi in time.

It's a pity that Cao Zixiu, a good boy, acts very fairly and cautiously, and he is simply a model for the ministers and the son of man.

However, this time Cao Ang couldn't hold it back, and even summoned Shi Xun to officially put on his own political concept that was completely different from Cao Cao, but Lu Hong was ecstatic, and hurriedly went to inform Zhu Shuo.

Zhu Shuo hurriedly went to report to Cao Pi with the report in his hand, and said to Cao Pi: "If the prince of the world knows this word to the Duke of Wei, it will be abolished!" ”

Can Cao Cao tolerate his heir being a loyal vassal of the Han Dynasty?

Cao Pi held this report in his hand, read it several times from beginning to end, and from tail to end, and then suddenly asked: "Yan has no son?" ”

Zhu Shuo was stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "The insider has not yet come out." ”

Cao Pi smiled slightly: "I already have a son, whose name is Eis, six years old - it is the old Yancai who knows the sincerity of his children's admiration, but does not know the kindness of his parents and sons." My lord Xiongjie I, I know that my brother is not good, but asking for responsibility and guiding him is not a disobedient act of killing relatives, how can I bear it? ”

If your children do something wrong, they will only find ways to educate and guide them, where is it so easy to be completely disappointed, and even depose the heir status of the eldest son?

You're oversimplifying.

Zhu Shuo was in a hurry and hurriedly said: "Don't miss the opportunity, don't worry about it!" ”

The corners of Cao Pi's mouth twitched, and he suddenly changed the topic: "Really? ”

Zhu Shuo hurriedly replied: "Lu Cifan is sure that every word is true, and said: Even if there is vanity, why hurt? ”

Cao Pi nodded: "Cifan is also a smart person." ”

Immediately picked up the pen and began to smear and revise the report directly - Cao Ang once said to Shixun: "I don't want to hear such unsubordinated words!" Emperor Xi Gao extinguished the rebellion and Xing Han, and Emperor Guangwu regained Yan Liu. Its work covers the heavens and the earth, how can my father imitate it? Cao's He De, dare to speak out on behalf of Han? ”

Put "What my father can imitate"

It was changed to "My father drafted it, if it is in the mud, if it is not subordinate." True power traitor also"

。

Cao Ang said: "Huan Ling is also immoral, but today's son is smart, and he will be able to succeed the ancestors and re-secure the world......"

Put "Ran Today's Son is Smart"

The following is amended to read: "My father adheres to his decree, can he initially determine the world, and dare to covet the heavens for himself?" ”

Cao Ang said: "The Son of Heaven hates Cao. For my father and son to be disrespectful, but also to be a minister and an enemy of his king? ”

Change to: "The Son of Heaven hates Cao, is proud of my father's merits, abuses power and coercion, and does not respect the mandate of heaven......"

Cao Ang said: "If the Son of Heaven has no virtue, he can be abolished." What's more, other domains, such as Huo Guangzhi's chase Changyi, but Han Zuo cannot be overturned. ”

It was changed to: "That is, the Son of Heaven has no virtue, there is no will of the auxiliary government, there is no decree of the Queen Mother, and it cannot be abolished, such as Huo Guangzhi's chase Changyi." And even if it is chased, Hanzuo will not be overturned. ”

Cao Ang said: "If the Cao family usurped. The history is brilliant, and it will be left stinking for 10,000 years, and I would rather die. Neither for this disloyalty nor unrighteousness. ”

The second half of the paragraph was changed to: "Wu Ning Cao clan, and I am not disloyal and unrighteous for this, and the things of beasts are also!" ”

After the correction, he handed it to Zhu Shuo: "You can pay Lu Cifan immediately, make it clear, and play it secretly." ”

Zhu Shuo was overjoyed, and he took it and waited to retire.

But Cao Pi suddenly waved his hand: "Let's ...... slowly"

Thought about it.

He also instructed: "You can make Ci Fan play the secret music of Ling Jun first, and if it is Ling Jun as proof." There is nothing in vain. ”

Zhu Shuoyi frowned: "If Ling Jun does not allow it to be played, it may prove that his words are untrue." How? ”

You're about to be unrecognizable, what if Shixun doesn't agree to play or picks out the mistakes?

Cao Pi smiled slightly: "The school is a big matter, so that Jun An has to block it?" ”

Such a big thing, and it's the reconnaissance work of the school affairs itself, where does Xun dare to stop it?

And he couldn't stop it—" I expected you to be disappointed too. If the evidence is not true, it is inevitable that there will be errors between hearing and copying; If not, it can be used......"

If Xun wants to point out where there is a problem, not Cao Ang's original words, then it is normal to eavesdrop, transcribe, and make some mistakes in the text, and it will not be suspected of us, or even of Lu Hong's deliberate evil.

If Xun doesn't point out the mistakes, it proves that he also has the will to abolish Cao Ang, and we just take the opportunity to encircle him and ask for help.

Zhu Shuo bowed and saluted: "The son has seen far-reaching, and the minister can't do it." ”

Hurry up and run home to take care of Lu Hong.

So on the evening of the next day, Lu Hong wrapped himself in a cloak again, covered his appearance, and entered the mansion through the side door, and went to report to the honor - the conversation between you and the prince, I overheard it with the eyeliner I planted, and recorded it, and this matter must be reported to Wei Gongyu.

Let's see if we're recording it right or not, and if there's anything missing – he deliberately doesn't mention "mistakes"

Two words.

Shi Xun and Cao Pi saw the report for the first time, and they also read it carefully several times before they suddenly pouted and smiled: "Cifan, do you have to take another high branch?" ”

Lu Hong was shocked, and hurriedly argued: "Fan Delingjun takes care of it, does An have other intentions?" ”

Shi Xun shook his head slightly: "Good writing, I also know who does it." Ci Fan can pass on my words: Qin lost his deer and people competed for it, and it is unknown who died in whose hands. ”

He is indeed completely disappointed in Cao Ang, he is not Cao Cao, he is not facing his own biological son, he will not be as Cao Pi imagined, he is willing to work hard to educate and enlighten, and with Cao Ang's usual temperament, I am afraid that this donkey will not be able to turn around.

So if Cao Ang is deposed, is it possible that Cao Pi will come to power?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

On the one hand, Shi Xun is not optimistic about Cao Pi - although he admits that among the sons of the Cao family, Zihuan is the most Xiao is the father, but he does not want to arch a capable second generation to come to power.

On the other hand, as long as the throne of the prince is vacated, then it will inevitably be like the original history, the sons will fight each other, Cao Zhi and even Cao Zhang and other people will have a chance, Cao Pi, you are so sure that the throne will eventually fall into your own hands?

Alas, the world is undecided, and there is chaos inside, what should I rely on?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and handed the report back to Lu Hong as it was: "But you can play Wei Gong secretly." ”
