Cao Cao asked Cao Pi, saying that if you resign as the crown prince, what son should I take as my heir? Cao Pi had no choice but to mention Cao Zhi's name. In fact, Cao Pi has always been at odds with Cao Zhi, but now that the news from Kanto has come, Cao Zhang was poisoned and died, and Cao Chong almost died, Cao Pi instinctively felt: The mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be Zijian!

However, he didn't really want to give way, only when Cao Cao was testing himself, then whether it was according to the theory of kinship or the theory of elders, he could only take Cao Zhi's turn after him - many other brothers were not qualified, and if Cao Chong was mentioned, if Cao Cao asked: "You and Zijian are compatriots, don't say anything, but Cangshu?" How do you answer that? said that he suspected that Cao Zhi was behind the scenes? There's no evidence at all. Will Daddy think that he is narrow-minded and thus more annoyed?

At that time, Cao Cao just sighed and didn't say anything more, then waved his hand and let Cao Pi retreat. The news came to the government through the school affairs, and Huan Fan commented at the time: "The prince's move is to retreat into advance, and it is really good." "You don't have much to do now, just make it clear to your father, except to show loyalty, it is wrong to say too much else-" From this point of view, the storage position may be solid. Shi Xun also nodded, and said in his heart that on this timeline, although Jia Xu did not teach him, Cao Zihuan was smart by nature, and he still pretended to be a loyal and filial son.

He didn't notice that his son was turning his head back, his eyes flickering slightly......

It was reported by the republic, but in fact it was not all the information he had obtained from Lu Hong.

Because of the importance of the matter, on this day, Lu Hong disguised himself to meet with him and explained the relevant news to him in detail. It was a slight shock after hearing it again. immediately took care of Lu Hong: "The matter is big. Don't come today. I haven't heard of anything. "You act like you didn't say anything, and I didn't hear anything. Lu Hong nodded: "Taiwei is not suitable to get involved in this matter again...... Hong took his leave. ”

So what exactly is Fu hiding? It turned out that Cao Pi retreated from Cao Cao's couch that day, and only then did he go out of the palace gate, and he bumped into his main wife Zhen. As the crown princess, Zhen has always won Cao Cao's favor, so after Cao Cao fell ill, she often came to visit and personally served Cao Cao's diet and daily life. Cao Pi took advantage of the opportunity to take care of Zhen's. said that you serve Your Majesty well, and when Your Majesty is in a good mood, help me say a few good words for my husband; If Your Majesty mentions me during his conversation, or mentions the matter of the storage position, you should also write it down, and report it to me when you return to the palace.

Zhen agreed, and Cao Pi retreated. Immediately, Zhen entered the hall with a food table and waited for Cao Cao to eat. Cao Cao stared at her for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "Suitable for outside the hall, what about Zihuan and Ruyan?" "Zhen has always been filial. didn't dare to hide it, so he said: "The prince wants his wife to fulfill his filial piety." To serve His Majesty, I hope that Your Majesty's illness will be cured as soon as possible. And I want the woman to speak, say that she knows, and ask for forgiveness. ”

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked, "When I was away, did Zihuan and Chen Changwen often have contacts?" Zhen replied: "The crown prince is in charge of the country, and Chen Qing is the secretary of the ministry, how can there be no contacts?" However, it does not talk about state affairs, but nothing else. Cao Cao was quite satisfied with her answer, and said with a slight smile: "You are in the deep palace, but you know a lot. Zhen was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down: "The concubine doesn't dare to listen to state affairs, but in the palace, I don't see the prince and Chen Qing interacting. ”

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and patted Zhen's head, saying I just asked casually, I didn't mean to doubt or blame you, so you don't have to be too cautious. Seeing that Zhen had already laid down the meal, he immediately picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks, ate a few bites, glanced at Zhen, frowned slightly, and asked: "I am stubborn and frugal, and I also warn you that in heaven, you must not be extravagant." However, you are the crown princess, and you don't need cloth clothes - Zihuan has a few silk in front of you, and you have to make new clothes for the Chai family? "You're also dressed a little shabby, isn't Cao Pi bad for you?

Zhen hurriedly said: "The prince obeyed his father's orders, and he has always been frugal, that is, the Chai family used to dress the same as a woman. What is said is in, who has not been judged? I don't know. ”

Cao Cao let out a "hmm", his face slightly gloomy.

At that time, Lu Hong relayed the conversation between the two and interjected to explain: "When the former prince was first established, please take Zhu Yancai as the official office of the East Palace, but the Son of Heaven did not allow it, Yun Yancai was reckless and impatient, and he was more involved with people, and the prince should not associate with him." After Ding Yi played, the prince often used the car to hold a car, and Na Yan was among them, and discussed secretly late at night. The Son of Heaven asked the prince, and the prince asked for sin, and he was greedy for silk clothes for the harem, so he carried a few tricks in, and then he didn't dare to ...... again."

Zhu Yan was famous, had a close personal relationship with Cao Pi, and was his confidant - in the original history, he was known as the "Four Friends of Prince Wei" along with Chen Qun, Sima Yi, and Wu Zhen. Although this guy is talented, he is small-hearted, quick-tempered, open-mouthed, and often offends people, so when Cao Pi asked him to be a subordinate of the East Palace, Cao Cao refused and warned Cao Pi to have less dealings with this person.

However, Cao Pi couldn't do without Zhu Shuo - in this timeline, Sima Yi and Wu Zhen were no longer with him, Chen Qun, as a secretary of the ministry and an important minister of the imperial court, needed to avoid suspicion, and the two sides maintained a certain distance very tacitly, and there was only one Zhu Yancai left in the "Four Friends" - so he secretly used the car to carry the bamboo basket, let Zhu Shuo hide in the bamboo basket, and sneaked into the East Palace to discuss the plan with him.

In the original history, it was Wu Zhen who drilled the bamboo basket, and then it was detected by Yang Xiu and reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao planned to intercept it in person, Cao Pi got the letter and asked Wu Qian, Wu Zhen said it doesn't matter, you will load a bamboo basket tomorrow and enter the door, I will not go, the basket is only filled with silk, then I am not afraid of being checked by the lord. Cao Pi acted according to the plan, and really concealed Cao Cao, and made Cao Cao suspicious that Yang Xiu was separated from their father and son, and began to kill Yang Dezu......

However, in this timeline, Yang Xiu has been degraded, and it is another Cao Zhi henchman who informs Cao Cao - Ding Yi Ding Zhengli, the school secretary. Cao Cao did not personally check - after all, he is now the emperor, and his every move is watched, and even the living room is recorded, and he cannot act arbitrarily - he went directly to ask Cao Pi. Cao Pi lied casually, saying that it was only for the women in the palace that I wanted to wear silk clothes, so I packed a few baskets and came in—knowing that you have always advocated frugality, I know that I have done something wrong, and I will not do it again in the future.

Although Cao Cao advocates frugality, after all, he has become the son of heaven, and he does not have the same high standards and strict requirements for himself as he did in the reckless era, so why is he embarrassed to criticize his son? The matter was pressed. But no one expected that after many days, Cao Cao still remembered this, and asked about Zhen intentionally and unintentionally.

Zhen replied honestly, saying that the prince and I have always adhered to your will, lived frugally, and usually did not make new silk clothes, that is, all the women in the East Palace, including the expelled Chai family, no one dared to transgress the rules - the prince ordered people to carry silk into the palace? Isn't it once or twice? Who said this, how come I don't know?

When Cao Cao heard this, he knew that Cao Pi was lying to his face, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. After two more mouthfuls of rice, I only felt that my stomach was full and I had no appetite, so I put down the bowl, took a sip of thin wine, and asked Zhen: "What do you think of Zihuan's resignation as prince?" ”

Zhen Shi fell to the ground and said: "The woman follows her husband, if the husband resigns, what does the woman say?" Only when I first return home, my husband and wife are loving, husband and wife respect each other, and brothers are harmonious. The woman heard that there were people outside who slandered the prince and murdered Ziwen, which is really a lie and a great injustice. Once you are in the throne, slander will follow, and if you do so, how can you get rid of it and return to the vassal kingdom, or you may avoid the separation of your brothers......"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears: "When the woman first started, the prince was weak, Ziwen and Zijian were still young, hovering in front of the knee, the woman was like a sister-in-law and a real sister, intimate and unsuspecting. Today is not a holiday, Ziwen has passed away, and he is already heartbroken, and the situation is falsely accused of being harmed by his son-in-law? If a woman dies and she can be innocent, she can also die - Your Majesty can see it! ”

Cao Cao stroked Zhen's shoulder, couldn't stop comforting, and said okay, okay, don't cry, I know that Ziwen's death has nothing to do with Zihuan, but-"It is rumored outside that there is nothing to say, or someone wants to slander Zihuan." Who do you think you are? Zi Jianzhen, Zi Yingzhen? ”

Zhen replied: "Zijian Gengjie, Ziying is smart, they are both brothers, and they are all forbearance? The prince refused to harm Ziwen, and they refused to harm the prince. What this must be done ......"

Cao Cao glared suddenly: "How do you know that it is Ding Yi and I?" ”

Zhen panicked and blurted out: "This prince speaks to his officials, and the woman hears about ......it."

Cao Cao asked, "What does the prince say?" ”

Zhen never lied, so he had to tell the truth in a hurry: "Wen Taiziyun, Ding Zhengli is investigating the affairs of His Majesty, and he is pointing to me, so is it not made by Zijian?" I will kill them! After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added: "The woman knows Zijian, she will not do this, or Ding Yi will be arrogant." ”

Cao Cao sneered: "You know Zijian, but you don't know Zihuan Ye?!" Stretching out his hand to push away the food table: "I'm tired, you can retreat." Zhen was so panicked that he couldn't speak clearly, so he just kowtowed: "Please release it to the domain, so that the whole son-in-law can be retained." Cao Cao snorted: "Or as you wish." ”

Of course, it is impossible for Lu Hong to understand all of this big set of words, and it is impossible for Lu Hong to be fully relayed to the repetition like a repeater. He just said a rough idea, first Cao Cao talked about the "car silk"; Immediately Cao Cao mentioned Cao Pi's resignation from the prince, Zhen not only vouched for the two little uncles, but also said that Cao Pi hated Zhu Shuo, so Cao Cao did not like it; In the end, Zhen kowtowed and asked him to return to the vassal country, and Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Or as you wish." ”

It's Fuxin who said that this ignorant woman, if you can't speak, just say a few words, in the heavenly family, surrounded by conspiracy and secret schemes, you are honest and filial to manage eggs, and almost folded your husband into it. Listening to Cao Cao's last words, it seems that there is a meaning of easy storage, and the matter is serious, so I quickly took care of Lu Hong, saying that you should not have come today, and I have never heard these words.

When he returned to the house, he reported to Xun, and just said the first half of the paragraph, both Xun and Huan Fan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the crisis of Yichu was basically over. It was a compound look in his eyes, and he simply swallowed the second half of the paragraph - if his father learned that the prince's position was unstable, he would have to plan to save him, but the emperor's temper has been getting more and more violent recently, if he also involves his father and son, how can it be good? Besides, Cao Pi was originally Chen Qun's backer, and he didn't agree with his father's concept, like this prince, he would be abolished...... (To be continued.) )
