Chapter 12: Why bother in the first place

Shi Xun asked Cao Pi, saying that you "have two ends of the headless rat, and you are in a secret situation", Cao Zihuan couldn't help but feel that his legs were a little weak......

In life, there are some things to choose from, some things to choose from, some things to hesitate to, some things to hesitate to, and more importantly, things are changing rapidly, and God often does not give you enough time to hesitate and choose. That is, in Cao Pi's opinion, although he is not as decisive as his father, he was not a person who hesitated and was at both ends of the first rat, but the previous painful loss of the storage position caused him too heavy a psychological blow, and this person was almost completely abolished. When he first arrived in Anfeng, he only indulged in sensuality and drunkenness every day, just like Cao Zhicha, who was defeated in the struggle for the heir in history. It was Zhu Shuo, Wang Chang and others who repeatedly admonished him, and the new concubine Guo Shi comforted him day and night, and finally basically healed his psychological wounds.

However, in response to the different environments and the changes in life, the mood and Bingfu will naturally be distorted, and the original brilliant and high-spirited Cao Zihuan, or the original historical self-righteous Emperor Wei Wendi, will not be able to find it after all. In other words, if he really wants to get on Cao Chong's thief ship, he should make a quick decision, lest the position of the leader of the alliance be finally taken by Cao Chong, who is more prepared; If you don't want to get on the thief ship, then you have to get rid of it quickly and return to Luoyang in a hurry, or you can avoid it. As a result, he hesitated, and waited for a long time before finally deciding on the strategy.

Fortunately, Cao Pi has not been completely abolished, his mind is no longer clear, his brain is no longer flexible, and he has not yet fallen to the point of being completely stupid, long before leaving Anfeng. That's what he thought about. So I went to ask Wang Chang for a plan - Zhu Shuo was useless. The man is full of intrigues, but when it comes to problems that need to be faced with dignity, he is often helpless.

Wang Wenshu couldn't help but sigh and said: "The king knew this for a long time, why did he ...... it at the beginning" Twisted his beard and pondered for a long time, and advised Cao Pi to say: "Today's plan is only sincerity." "Cao Pidao, you let me tell the truth to the court? No, then my head has to move! Wang Chang shook his head slightly and said, "Those who are sincere." "I want you to correct your attitude and sincerely show a posture of confession, and I really didn't let you only tell the truth."......

"The king goes to Luoyang here, if he is immediately seen, and there is no way to ease his cheeks, then the Son of Heaven will be angry, and he will only fear going and not turning back. Please worship the public first, mourn the whole life, and be loyal to the public. There is no evil king, or it can be said for the king - it is a public name all over the world. If all the officials obey it, there must be an echo of what they say, and the king may be punished with a small punishment and cover up the big one. ”

So today, Cao Pi listened to Shi Xun's rhetorical question, hurriedly bent his knees, knelt down again, and said in a lamented voice: "Pi Shao doesn't know anything, and when the first emperor died, everything is chaotic, so I think it's a mistake...... Now I know, my son-in-law saved me! ”

It was Xun Xin who said that Cao Chao also used Cao Cao to block the arrow that day, saying that because his grandfather died, he was too sad, so he did something wrong, and he shouldn't have issued an edict to denounce you...... Now Cao Pi is also saying the same, your Cao family is really used to skimming it, and it is really a fruit that grows on a root. He no longer helped Cao Pi up, but asked him: "What is a wrong idea?" Do you want the party to be the same son? ”

Cao Pi sighed: "Everyone cherishes life and fears death, and there is nothing to be done about it." Xi Ziying came to incite Pi, but Pi was reluctant to obey, and suddenly heard that the court reprimanded his son-in-law and dismissed the rank of captain......"

In fact, when Cao Chong sent an envoy to make an incident with Cao Pi, the news of the destruction of Shu had just reached Luoyang, and Cao Chao had not yet issued an edict to cut the rank of Xun Tai Lieutenant, and even if Xing Hao went to Shu to announce the edict, it was a secret news at the beginning, and it was about ten days later that this matter was finally exposed, which caused an uproar in the government and the opposition. So Cao Pi only heard about this on the way to Luo, and when he made his choice, it was impossible for him to know at all.

Of course, if you don't study this kind of detail, most people won't pay attention to it.

Cao Pi said, it was precisely because I heard the news that I hesitated - "My son-in-law is the pillar of the country, the first emperor is the humerus, and now I am leading the army to cut down Shu, with the ability of my sister-in-law, I will be able to play Kai." And the Son of Heaven is young, confused by the villain, and actually sinned against his sister-in-law, and the world heard about it, which is not to say that the Son of Heaven is in chaos and the government will fall, then Ziying will rise up at the right time, who can be the enemy? It is Ziying who is late to get the news, and he failed to rescue his sister-in-law as an excuse, once it is announced, that is, Qing, Deng, Hai, Xu, and the scholars do not want to rebel, so I do not obey, but I can also hope to win - Hou Bi Shengri, how can my generation have such a thing? ”

Because the court inexplicably punished you, I was worried that the building would collapse, and I didn't dare to run to Luoyang immediately to mourn and ask for guilt-"When I heard that the Son of Heaven ordered my sister-in-law to be the secretary of the book, and he was actually in charge of the government, then Ziying would be defeated, and Pi Nai was terrified and rushed to ask for guilt." I hope my sister-in-law lives me! ”

To put it bluntly, Cao Pi is just patting on the back, saying that your energy is too great, and your honor and disgrace are directly related to the rise and fall of the country, so I decided which side I should stand on according to whether you are in the court or in the opposition. To be honest, there are a lot of loopholes in this statement, but Xun is not a natural saint, under the premise that the other party's attitude seems to be extremely upright, and the words of admiration in his mouth are like the water of the Yellow River, he can still be like a stop in the water, and he will not make waves. There was still no expression on his face, but in fact, his heart was already happy.

So he finally stretched out his hand and picked up Cao Pi again: "Zihuan is mistaken, the country is the country of all the people, and the society is the society of the first emperor. If you are in a place of suspicion, you should seek your own work, so why should you look at me? ”

Cao Pi wiped his tears: "Pi is really wrong, but he doesn't regret it." My son-in-law is here, my Wei is here, my sister-in-law is gone, and the world will be in chaos. Pi Su admires his aunt-in-law, and he follows the same trend, but he is still unreachable, but he dares to go against the grain? Therefore, now in Luo, I also ask my uncle to save me - my sister-in-law is merciful, I hope to remember the joy of the past, and save the danger. ”

Hearing these words, Ye Xun couldn't help but think of the past in his mind. When he voted for Cao, Cao Ang was close to adulthood, and he was young and old, and he never treated him as a child; Cao Pi brothers are different, Shi Xun still remembers the first time he entered Cao Mansion, Cao Cao made his wife and children see him because of his in-laws, Cao Zhi was still in his mother's arms at that time, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang chased and played, and they couldn't stop for a moment, they were real "bear children". Even if he had the preconceived notions of the original history and had a lot of contact, Shi Xun completely treated Cao Pi as a child, and did not think much about "Emperor Wei Wen".

Besides, the third son of the Bian family, Cao Zhang and himself are not compatible (and his own son seems to be quite compatible), when Cao Zhi is close to adulthood, the Cao family will fight for the heir, and it is inconvenient for him to be too close; Only Cao Pi had a good relationship with him when he was a child, and he was used to his aunt-in-law and sister-in-law revolving around him. People are all merciful, and now seeing this child standing in front of him, shrinking his body and wiping his tears, Hongsuke suddenly has a sense of going back in time, and he can't help but feel pity.

So he taught Cao Pi: "I have a foreign surname, how can I save you?" Now that he has returned to Luoyang, why don't you go to your uncle? "Instead of begging me, you should beg Cao De.

Cao Pi said: "Although my uncle is close, he has never been involved in political affairs, so what good can he ask for?" It was Xun Zhengse who said: "Otherwise, the patriarch of the Taifu Heavenly Family was ordered by the first emperor to assist the government, but if there is an invitation, how dare the Son of Heaven not listen?" And the relatives of flesh and blood, Anke abandoned? It's okay to get it. ”

Cao Pixin said that of course I have to go to mourn Cao De again, but the second uncle's energy is limited, and I am afraid it won't be of much use just for him to help me speak, so I came to beg you. Now depending on your attitude, you are willing to lend a hand, okay, I'll go to my uncle to help me talk about it, so as to be an introduction......

So he resigned from Shixun and revisited Cao De. The next day, Cao De played, saying that Cao Pi, the king of Anfeng, was not against him, because the rumors were spreading, the people were violent, and they were all the masterminds, so he did not dare to ask for advice, and now he was in my house to treat the crime - I hope that the Son of Heaven will be extrajudicial and forgive him.

Cao Chaoyi frowned: "If Uncle Anfeng doesn't want to rebel, why don't he return to Luo early, but postpone it to this day?" "Don't look at Cao Chao's young age, this bit of cleverness is still there after all.

Cao Dechao is Xun made a look, and it is Xun who came out and played: "The kings rebelled, which greatly hurt the face of the court. And the laws of the state, regardless of their deeds, regardless of their hearts, if they are investigated in their hearts, if they are not saints, who can be exempted? If you sin against King Anfeng now, you will force the kings to fight to the death; If forgiven, it may divide the hostility and cause the ice to disintegrate. Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

The ministers saw that it was Xun is attitude, and they immediately echoed it. Cao Chao frowned and turned his face, and asked Huan Jie, "What does Yushi think?" Huan Boxu said with a serious face: "The country cannot be impossible, and the law cannot be lenient." Now the king of Anfeng has been edicted and returned late, and he should be reprimanded for his crimes, and he should be punished with copper. ”

In terms of the traffic conditions of these years, it is normal to be late, but since you are late, you can't go unpunished, and under normal circumstances, you have to issue an edict and reprimand, and fine or demote or cut the knight. But if you come back in three days, and you delay it for five days, and you delay it for three whole months, the nature of the matter is completely different, how can it be as simple as a copper fine? Yu Shitai controls the judicial power and supervision power, and Shi Xun had long expected that Cao Chao would consult Huan Jie's opinion, so he greeted Huan Boxu in advance.

Huan Jie's relationship with Shi Xun Na is also an old friend, the first time they met, he was still in Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian as an official, it was Xun Xiang who said that Zhang Xian went north to contain Liu Biao, so he did not deal with Huan Jie, and deliberately enveloped him, hoping that he could affect Zhang Xian's decision. So if Xun is invited, Huan Jie can't help but obey - besides, this day's family affairs are also, why do I want to jump out and sing blackface?

Cao Chao is young, according to the rules, the court is controlled by the auxiliary ministers, and he can't really "pro-government", even if he has to make a statement after the dragon case, it is not good to disobey the words of the ministers. So since Cao De and Shi Xun are the leaders, and the big guys have the attitude of lifting the board high and putting it down gently, Cao Chao finally decided: "The Chinese book can be an edict for me, reprimand King Anfeng, and fine 10,000 yuan." and ordered him to think about himself in the Taifu Mansion for the time being. ”

Cao Pi escaped a catastrophe in this way. Cao Chao made him think about it, but in fact, it was only a few days, and when Cao Ang entered Beijing, and when it was time for Cao Cao to be buried, he naturally wanted to release Cao Pi - the old man was in mourning, and it was impossible not to let his own son follow.
