The reason why the Yuan clan fell so quickly actually had a lot to do with Yuan Shao's indecision on the matter of the heir.

According to legal theory, Yuan Shaoli should appoint his eldest son Yuan Tan as his heir.

But he doted on Yuan Shang and even kept him by his side, intending to train him as a successor.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao couldn't make up his mind until he died, and finally caused Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to kill each other.

This led to the fragmentation of the originally strong Yuan clan and was easily taken down by Cao Cao.

If Yuan Shao is the longest, Yuan Tan will be appointed as his successor as soon as possible.

Even if Cao Cao can take Hebei, I am afraid that he will have to pay a heavy price and spend a lot of time.

Jia Xu's words are actually hinting to Cao Cao not to learn from Yuan Shao's vacillation, but to follow the law and establish a successor.

After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and called Dian Wei in.

"Go, immediately send someone to Qian County and invite Zihuan Gongzi back!"

"Whoa!"

Dian Wei was ordered to leave.

……

Half a month later, Yang Mansion.

In order to ensure the safety of Cao Qing's daughters and the children in their wombs, Yang Ling invited Zhang Ji to check their bodies after a while.

After knowing that there was nothing wrong with them, Yang Ling sent Zhang Ji away with a smile.

But as soon as he sat down on his front foot, a servant came to report on his back foot.

"Master, there is a person outside the door who claims to be Zihuan's son, asking to see the master."

Yang Ling was slightly stunned.

Cao Pi came back from Qian County?

If you look at it this way, presumably Cao Cao is sure to make him his heir.

Let's meet him and see what he wants to do.

"Invite him in."

"Whoa!"

The servant took the command and departed.

After a while, he turned back, followed by Cao Pi.

Compared with before, Cao Pi's expression at this time was a little less arrogant and a little more calm.

It seems that being grounded in his hometown in Qian County still made him grow a lot.

"It is really gratifying that Prince Zihuan can return to Xudu. It's just that I don't know what happened when my son came to visit today? ”

Yang Ling smiled faintly.

Cao Pi did not answer immediately, but solemnly saluted Yang Ling.

"Thanks to my brother-in-law's kind words in front of my father, Zihuan was able to return to Xudu from Qiaoxian. I came here today to thank my brother-in-law! ”

His words surprised Yang Ling a little.

Could it be that Cao Pi, this kid, has really changed his mind?

"Zihuan doesn't have to be polite, I'm just being fair and straightforward."

Yang Ling smiled.

Cao Pi is the right color,

"Brother-in-law is very gracious, Zihuan is unforgettable, and he will double the reward in the future."

His words and attitudes are so sincere, it seems that he has really forgotten all the previous grievances.

The two chatted for a while, and then handed over Cao Qing, the sister and brother exchanged a few words, and Cao Pi then got up to say goodbye.

Looking at Cao Pi's departing back, Yang Ling showed a thoughtful expression.

As the saying goes, dogs can't change their.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Cao Pi's careful eye is famous in history.

If it was possible, he certainly didn't want Cao Pi to take the throne.

But as he analyzed with Cao Cao, there is only Cao Pi who is suitable to inherit the position of the prince.

If he deliberately slandered Cao Pi in front of Cao Cao and tried to obstruct Cao Pi's ascension, with Cao Cao's suspicious character, he was afraid that he would be suspicious of him.

Thinking of the deceased Cao Ang, Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He originally thought that after he changed the result of Cao Ang's death in Wancheng, Cao Ang would be able to become a generation of virtuous monarchs with his assistance.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ang was so young that he would get cancer and eventually die young.

The position of Cao Cao's heir still falls on Cao Pi.

That's fine.

If Cao Pi is polite to himself, for the sake of Cao Cao, Cao Ang, and Cao Qing, he will faithfully assist him.

But if he had any evil intentions, he would never be a lamb to the slaughter!

……

After leaving Yang Ling's mansion, Cao Pi turned his head to take a look, and then walked quickly to the alley on the side.

In the alley, several literati were waiting quietly.

The leader is Sima Yi, and the rest are Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, and Zhu Shuo.

"I've seen the son!"

They hurried to catch up.

"I'm not a son of the world right now, Zhongda, don't call me that."

Cao Pi waved his hand.

But although he said so, looking at his expression, it was quite useful.

"It's just a matter of time."

Sima Yi smiled slightly.

Soon after Cao Ang died of illness, Sima Yi knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived!

The most suitable person to inherit Cao Cao's position is only Cao Pi.

And Cao Pi and Yang Ling do not agree, as long as he assists Cao Pi to inherit Cao Cao's position, he will not have a chance to deal with Yang Ling in the future?

So after Cao Pi came to Xudu, Sima Yi came to defect decisively.

After knowing that Sima Yi had a grudge against Yang Ling, Cao Pi also gladly accepted Sima Yi as his advisor.

"Zhongda, since my father has already intended to make me the son of the world, why do I still want to come to Yang Ling?"

Cao Pi was a little puzzled.

He and Yang Ling had a bitter enmity, if it wasn't for Sima Yi's insistence on requesting, he wouldn't have bothered to visit Yang Ling.

"Don't be impatient."

Sima Yi patiently explained,

"Before the prince inherits the throne of Duke Wei, everything is possible."

"Today's events are just to show other people, so that Duke Wei and others know that the prince is a suitable heir."

"Although Yang Ling is hateful, there is a saying that is very good, those who achieve great things should be informal."

"Let him be arrogant and proud for the time being, and when the prince takes power in the future, won't it be easy to clean him up?"

When Cao Pi heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he couldn't help but nod his head and praise,

"Zhongda is really far-sighted, with your help, great things can be done!"

"Shizi is polite."

Sima Yi smiled modestly.

"Don't worry, when you eradicate Yang Ling in the future, let alone Zhang Chunhua, the beauties in his house are also up to you."

Cao Pi smiled sympathetically.

"Thank you, Shizi!"

Sima Yi hurriedly surrendered his hand.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their smiles were full of insidiousness and cunning!

After saying goodbye to Sima Yi and others, Cao Pi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, he was called into the study.

"I've seen my father!"

Cao Pi saluted cautiously.

"You just went to your brother-in-law's house?"

Cao Cao asked expressionlessly.

Since he left Yang Ling's mansion, this has not been a stick of incense, and his father already knows?

Cao Pi was shocked, and his surface became more and more respectful,

"Yes, father, I'm going to visit my brother-in-law and see my sister by the way."

Cao Cao stared at him for a long time before he snorted coldly,

"I hope so!"

Without waiting for Cao Pi to breathe a sigh of relief, Cao Cao suddenly stood up, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said lightly,

"Ziyu's death is his misfortune, but it is your great luck!"
