Chapter 4: Mindful of the people

For the battle for the storage position, it is Fu has his own ideas, and he is also quite unimpressed with his father's behavior and measures in this matter.

He knew that Shi Xun had been hesitating and couldn't decide who would be better to support, so he simply watched from the dry shore and tried not to wet his shoes. But should you not get your shoes wet without stepping in? If you don't walk in the quagmire, you won't get into it? It's that simple - the key problem is, Dad, you're too smart!

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are smart, the key is to be smart and exposed, just like Cao Chong and Cao Ziying. Dad, you have assisted the Son of Heaven for half your life, broken between the princes, and created a national system, and you are very shrewd in grasping the hearts of the people. Cao Cao himself can't make up his mind now, but he really wants to listen to your opinion, you yourself pick and shrink, and you have no fixed opinion, no accurate words, but will cause Cao Cao's suspicion.

Cao Cao may think that Hongfu has long had an attempt to change horses, otherwise he would not have stood up and clearly expressed his support for the crown prince Cao Ang; And it's the horse that Hongfu wants to change, and it must be a big upset, otherwise he won't be unwilling to say it to himself. However, although Hongfu is not actually in charge, after all, his influence covers the government and the opposition, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world. There must be some tandem and activities in private......

Cao Cao has become more and more suspicious in recent years, his temper has also grown, and his extravagance has become more and more extravagant day by day - the denunciation of the old minister Mao Jue is a clear example. It was a repetition that tried to observe the problem from Cao Cao's point of view, considered the problem, and came to the conclusion that Cao Cao's mind could be shaken in the matter of establishing the prince. or can lead the direction of public opinion in the government and the opposition. There were only three people in the world. One Xun Gongda, one is Hongfu, and one is Jia Wenhe. Because of this matter, it is impossible for Cao Cao not to be suspicious of these three people.

There is also an essential difference between the three people. First of all, Dazai Xunyou, after all, is dying, and he has been sick recently, I'm afraid he won't live for a few years, according to Cao Cao's measurement. Xun Gongda will die in front of him, so for the battle for the storage position, he will strive to be stable, so as not to stand on the wrong team and implicate his children, and when the time comes, he will close his eyes, I am afraid that there will be no chance to save it. Therefore, Xun You deliberately stayed out of the matter, and Cao Cao believed it.

Let's talk about Shangqing Jia Wenhe, this person can be regarded as a demoted general, and he stirred up Kansai in his middle and young years, and his reputation is not very good. Therefore, since he voted for Cao, he has closed the door and defended himself. There is no communication with the outside world, and the specific work is conscientious, but he hardly says a word about the major policies. Jia Xu begged to avoid suspicion, it was decades, but Cao Cao was extremely relieved of him - otherwise he would not have handed over the intelligence work to him after Guo Jia's death.

To put it bluntly, Xun You's advantage is that his life is about to end, and Jia Xu's advantage is used to shrinking, so they deliberately don't touch the battle for the storage position, Cao Cao can understand and forgive. However, Hongfu is still in his prime, and Cao Cao still wants to leave him to his son - if he is not shy about it, he can assist the new emperor, stabilize the court, and spend the "second generation bottleneck" safely, only two of them are worthy of the big responsibility, that is, Cao Quji and Hongfu, but in terms of influence, Cao De is worse than Xun, and it is difficult to make a fool of himself - if Hongfu is not optimistic about the prince, there will be trouble in the future. Secondly, Hongfu has never been afraid to be the first in the world and dares to take on heavy responsibilities, but he shrank when he encountered this matter, can Cao Cao really believe it?

Therefore, I think that Dad is really called "smart but mistaken by smart", you have been shrewd all your life, and you can't pretend to be stupid at this time!

It's not like my son, me, who was born with the potential to play stupid - or more accurately, was taught by you, Daddy. You have been teaching me at length for three days, and you don't seem to treat me as a son or junior, but when you are an opponent who is a junior, I will give you a sentence, and you will be able to turn out a thousand sentences...... In terms of eloquence, I am definitely not your person, even Qin Lang and Qin Yuanming, who have your "words", are not comparable, and how can children compare with adults? After a few setbacks, I just pretended to be stupid, no matter what you say, it's all about it.

Even in the group of friends, in Shilin public opinion, it is not to blame that the IQ is less than half of the father, that is all public, this is the real natural protection color, I just use it to mix up the battle for storage positions. In fact, today he proposed Cao Zhanghe as the Son of Heaven in front of everyone, which was really not a hot blurt out, but a deliberate test of everyone, especially Cao Ziwen.

The main reason is that the risk of such a temptation is very small. First of all, all of you here are relatives and friends, and they are obviously inclined to Cao Zhang among the kings - even Cao Zidan, although he is silent and cautious, his tendencies can also be seen - so no one will spread his "nonsense". Secondly, even if it is really spread, is it said by a blaming person, does anyone really take it seriously? Cao Ziwen was stupid, and even asked: "No blame, this Qing Yi yes, Tai Wei Yi yes?" When Cao Pi and the others heard this, they definitely didn't think that Nai Xun had made a statement. Even if Cao Cao heard about it, at most take care of his father and discipline himself well, don't talk nonsense all day long - my father doesn't dare to beat me, am I afraid that he will discipline me?

Well, if you think about it, it's still a little scary...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have concealed what I said in front of my father. Others just gave up, I just hope that Cao Zhen won't quietly come over to complain.

The big guys know that they are muddy, so they don't deliberately be jealous, and the big guys also know that they are the only son of Hongfu - although now that Gan is also pregnant, after all, the child has not been born yet, isn't it, whether it is a man or a woman, no one can predict - even if he shows his tendencies, each family will still try to win it over. What's more, everyone will think that Hun people are convenient to use as guns......

For example, this time, Ding Yi wanted to use himself as a gun, but this matter was too big and too empty, and he had to find a reason not to hook him.

Ding Yi Ding Zhengli is the son of Cao Cao's fellow villager friend Ding Chong, and he has a literary name, so Cao Cao once planned to marry his eldest daughter Xu to him. In the original history, Cao Cao consulted Cao Pi on this matter, and Cao Pi said: "Women look good, and it is inconvenient to be polite, and I am afraid that I may not be happy with my daughter." "Ding Yi is highly short-sighted, and her eyes are so bad that they affect her appearance - because she always squints at people - she is too wronged by her sister, it is better to marry her sister to Xiahou Nan, the son of Xiahou Xuan.

So in the end, the eldest princess of Qinghe married Xiahou Nan. However, in fact, Cao Pi's eyes are not very good. Xiahou Nan is just a waste of snacks. And lustful. The grievances suffered by the eldest princess of Qinghe after marriage are really great.

It is said that Cao Cao later recruited Ding Yi as Peng, and after contact, he couldn't help sighing: "Ding Peng, a good man, even if he is blind, he is still a woman, not to mention Dan Xuan?" It's my son who misunderstood me! ”

However, in this timeline, Cao Cao did not ask Cao Pi. Instead, I asked Cao Ang - of course, Cao Ang is the eldest son, and the heir of the Ming Dynasty, or the half-brother of the eldest princess of Qinghe (of course, there was no princess at that time), I must ask his opinion, how old is Cao Pi - Cao Ang also disapproves of this marriage, but his reasons are different from Cao Pi in history: "Ding Zhengli's text is exaggerated, and he is especially skillful, and An Ke is my sister-in-law?" "Don't read his article and fall in love with this man, I know him. That guy has a bad heart, and he can't do anything. You can't marry your sister to such a thing!

However, Cao Ang did not recommend Xiahou Nan, it was Cao Pi who was good friends with Xiahou Nan and took the initiative to recommend it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked Cao Ang again, and Cao Ang did not object this time - it was not that he looked down on Xiahou Nan, but that he didn't know much about that guy, plus the Xiahou family was high and powerful, and he was in-law with the Cao family.

So the poor princess of Qinghe finally fell into the hands of Xiahou Nan, even if history changed, her fate could not change......

Let's not mention this matter for the time being, it is said that in the original history, Ding Yi hated Cao Pi deeply because of this incident, so he got on Cao Zhi's thief ship, but he had no heart to hate Pi, but he did not have the talent of Zuo Zhi, and finally lost his head after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne. On this timeline, of course, Ding Yi didn't hate Cao Pi, but he hated Cao Ang, and it was probably because of the same smell, so he turned around and ran to attach to Cao Zhi.

This time, Ding Yi wrote a letter and revealed to Shi Fu, saying that I was assassinating and raping, and found some clues, it seems that the recent matter of the prince, and the black hand behind it is Cao Chong, the king of Liyang! I am a lowly official, and I dare not delve into it, so can you tell the lieutenant and ask him to pay attention to this matter?

After receiving the letter, he couldn't help sneering, and said that the prince commented on Ding Yi in the past as "exaggerated, especially clever", which is really not wrong, but this person's ability is only "clever", and he is still 108,000 miles away from wisdom. Ding Yi wants to use himself to stab the matter to Shi Xun, with two purposes: one is to divide and estrange the relationship between Shi Shi and Cao Chong, and the other is to hope that Shi Xun will play Cao Cao in the matter, so as to completely kick Cao Chong out of the ranks of the heirs.

However, if you are a traitor and have obtained information, you should directly play the Son of Heaven, how can there be any reason to go around one more circle? Ah, you are afraid that you are Cao Zhi's henchmen, there are many people who know, and you are afraid that you will be involved in Cao Zhi again, and even make Cao Cao suspect that Cao Zhi deliberately framed Cao Chong, so you want to use me as a gunman.

It's Fuxin who said that I have the name of a bad man behind my back, but I am not afraid of being used as a gun by you, so I just use this opportunity to let you stab each other in blood, and quickly sift out a few alternatives, so that my father can make up his mind. The problem is too big, and the evidence you gave is too empty, if you really want to poke it out, even if this gun is broken without a single blow, it will be hung in Cao Cao's heart from now on, or let Dad start to watch out for me...... So, this time I'm really shrinking, so you'd better be smart.

After writing the letter, I plan to send someone to Ding Mansion early tomorrow morning, and then I will wash up and sleep peacefully. But he couldn't sleep much after tossing and turning, and his mind was still thinking about the battle for the storage position. For Dad, it seems that maintaining Cao Ang's position as the heir is the safest, but what about himself? Who succeeds Cao Cao, and it is more convenient for the second generation of officials to get ahead? Cao Zhang is not successful, from today's temptation, we can know that this person is too reckless, the city government is not deep enough, even if he has his own help, and even with the help of his father, the possibility of him ascending to the throne is very small. Cao Chong is too smart, if he has to be the king, the ministers will have to die of exhaustion just thinking about their intentions......

So among the three people, Ang, Pi, and Zhi, who is more suitable? Let's wait a little longer and see who falls first...... Immediately thinking of Ding Yi's letter, Cao Zhi made a decisive move, although he didn't dare to accept it - but such a good bullet, if he couldn't smash Cao Chong's barrier, it would be a pity...... Otherwise...... (To be continued......)
