Mi Zhen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking,

"Why did you say that?"

Yang Ling married Cao Cao's eldest daughter as his wife, and made great contributions to the imperial court, winning Cao Cao's trust.

Mi Zhen really couldn't understand why Yang Ling would be worried.

"Zhen'er, think about it carefully, if the son is really gone, who will the prime minister appoint as the heir?"

Yang Ling asked.

"Husband is talking about...... Zihuan Gongzi? ”

Mi Zhen reacted immediately.

In history, after Cao Ang died in battle, those who were eligible to inherit Cao Cao's position were Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang.

But Cao Zhang's arm strength is excellent and he is not good at writing, so he is only suitable for being a general who charges into battle.

The candidate for the prince was chosen by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and finally fell on Cao Pi.

However, in this life, due to the appearance of Yang Ling, Cao Ang did not die in Wancheng.

As a result, Cao Zhi was obsessed with literature and had no idea of fighting for power at all.

In this way, the only heir is Cao Pi!

You must know that between Cao Pi and Yang Ling, there is a lot of festivity.

When he was in Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquid, he teased Mi Zhen, but was reprimanded by Cao Cao.

Later, at the instigation of Yang Xiu, he sent someone to assassinate Yang Ling.

Although Cao Cao remembered the father-son relationship and did not kill him, he also drove him back to his hometown in Qian County.

In Cao Pi's heart, he was afraid that he would hate Yang Ling to death!

In the future, he will inherit Cao Cao's position, and it will not be a good day to wait for Yang Ling!

Among Yang Ling's harem, the smartest is Mi Zhen.

This is also why he called Mi Zhen to discuss together.

Mi Zhen pondered for a long time, and then said,

"Husband, if there is really anything wrong with the son, I am afraid that the prime minister will only choose the son of Zihuan to inherit his position."

"In that case, let's prepare early!"

"You're right."

Yang Ling and Cao Ang are also teachers and friends, and of course he feels uncomfortable with Cao Ang's serious illness.

But no matter what, he also has to think about himself, for Cao Qing, Mi Zhen and other beauties, and the children in their wombs.

Yang Ling looked out the window.

I saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, gusts of wind were blowing, and the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind was full of buildings.

Xu Du is afraid that the sky is going to change!

Yang Ling sighed in his heart.

……

Sure enough, a few days later, Cao Ang fell ill and died, and Cao Cao held an extremely grand funeral for him.

Even Liu Xie, the son of heaven, took Queen Fushou to participate in person.

Cao Cao, who has always been diligent in political affairs, also rested for several days before convening a group of subordinates to discuss matters in the mansion.

"I've seen Wei Gong!"

Yang Ling saluted Cao Cao with everyone.

Compared with when he ascended to the Duke of Wei, Cao Cao seemed to be more than ten years old, and even had a lot more white hair.

It seems that Cao Ang's death has really hit him hard.

Yang Ling sighed slightly in his heart, and felt a little sorry for Boss Cao for a while.

Cao Cao worked hard to pick up his spirits and deal with the backlog of political affairs that had accumulated over the past few days.

After dealing with them one by one, it was already noon, and he said lightly,

"Anything else? If it's okay, please go back. ”

"My subordinates have something to do!"

But it was Cheng Yu, the general of Fenwu, who came out of the crowd and arched his hand,

"Qi Wei Gong, due to the death of the son of the son, there are many rumors in the government and the opposition. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, I hope that Duke Wei will establish a son as soon as possible! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel a commotion.

Everyone has heard about the rumors.

Not long after Cao Cao became the queen of Wei, Cao Ang died of illness.

Someone connected these two events together, spreading rumors that Cao Cao was angry with the heavens because he was crowned King of Wei, which led to Cao Ang's death.

It's just that no one dares to tell Cao Cao this kind of thing.

No one dared to take the initiative to talk about the son of the world in front of Cao Cao.

Only Cheng Yu, who was loyal to Cao Cao, dared to do these things.

Cao Cao's expression did not change, his eyes glanced around, and he just said softly,

"This matter is already in my heart, so let's step back for the time being."

"Whoa!"

Everyone saluted and was about to leave, when Cao Cao suddenly spoke again,

"The facial features will stay."

Yang Ling was stunned and stood honestly in place.

After everyone left, Cao Cao said slowly,

"Ziyi, what do you think about the matter of the son?"

Yang Ling reined in his mind and said cautiously,

"Back to my father-in-law, this is my father-in-law's family matter, and it is inconvenient for my son-in-law to intervene."

"Since you are married to Qing'er, you are also a member of the Cao family, to put it bluntly, I will not blame you."

Cao Cao said lightly.

Seeing that he insisted on speaking by himself, Yang Ling thought about it and said in a deep voice,

"According to the son-in-law, it is the most suitable for the son-in-law...... is the son of Zihuan. ”

Cao Cao didn't seem to expect Yang Ling to promote Cao Pi, and was slightly stunned,

"You don't have some grudges with Zihuan, and you have a good relationship with Zijian, why do you recommend Zihuan instead of Zijian and Ziwen (Cao Zhang)?"

"The son-in-law and Zihuan are just a battle of will."

Yang Ling smiled calmly,

"Ziwen Gongzi is brave and good at fighting, and he can be a general."

"Zijian Gongzi is talented, and he is really a genius of the world."

"But to govern the world, you don't need poetry and singing and superb martial arts, so neither of them is suitable to be the son of the world."

"As for other sons such as Cangshu (Cao Chong) and Zhu Hu (Cao Biao), they are still young and are also not suitable to be the sons of the world."

"And Zihuan's son is always important, and he has been carefully cultivated by his father-in-law, and it is most suitable for him to inherit his father-in-law's position."

When Cao Cao heard this, he showed a rare smile,

"It's best that Ziyi can think like this."

The two sons-in-law chatted for a while, and Yang Ling offered to leave.

After he left, Cao Cao tapped his fingers lightly on the table and muttered for a long time before he commanded,

"Zhongkang!"

"The end will be."

Xu Chu strode in.

"Go and invite Dr. Taizhong!"

"Whoa!"

Xu Chu took the order and left, and after a while, he walked in with Jia Xu.

"I've seen Wei Gong!"

Jia Xu saluted Cao Cao respectfully.

Since taking refuge in Cao Cao, Jia Xu has always adhered to a low-key and forbearant style.

He was largely closed to himself, and did not associate privately with other courtiers.

Even in the court, unless Cao Cao took the initiative to ask, he never took the initiative to offer advice.

"I'm looking for Mr. Wenhe today, I want you to get an idea."

"Duke Wei, please speak."

"Zi Yu died of illness, the top priority is to determine the son of the world, so as to stabilize people's hearts, according to you, Zihuan, Zijian, Ziwen three, who is the most suitable to be the son?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Jia Xu.

Jia Xu touched his chin and fell into a deep groan, but he didn't answer for a long time.

"Why didn't Mr. Wenhe speak?"

Cao Cao asked with some confusion.

Jia Xu smiled,

"Back to Duke Wei, Xia Guan is thinking about Yuan Shao's family affairs."

Cao Cao was stunned, and then laughed and said,

"I see, I see."
