And when Xi Zhicai got up, he suddenly fell ill.

After all, he had been standing in front of the window for so long, and he still had some colds.

In addition, he was very worried in his heart, so this illness was also mixed with heart disease.

It rained in Luoyang.

Sima Yi stood in the corridor of his home, watching the rain fall from the eaves.

After a while, he felt a shadow coming from behind him, and turned his head to see that it was his son Sima Shi.

"Father, it's raining, why don't you go to your room and stay here?"

Sima Yi sighed, and finally walked into the study.

Let Sima Shi also walk in.

He said that it was for the sake of Bao Wei's future.

Because Xi Yu is busy getting married now, it is estimated that there will be a war after getting married.

He is an important minister of Cao Pi, how can he not worry about this?

"I told you, you can't help much." Sima Yi shook his head.

Sima Shi said that he really had an idea.

Sima Yi suddenly felt his eyes light up and asked, "What do you have in mind?" Hurry up and say. ”

"Dad, if I'm wrong, don't blame me."

"How is that possible? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Sima Shi proposed that he could control Xi Yu by attacking Xi Zhicai.

Sima Yi immediately understood what he meant.

"Is that appropriate?"

When Sima Shi saw Sima Yi's expression, he knew that his father must have thought about this matter.

"Father, what's wrong with that?"

Sima Shi said that if Cao Pi felt that he would not do it for the sake of face, there was no need to worry at all.

The matter of Cao Pi's previous contact with ninjas has been widely spread, so why can't this matter be done?

Sima Yi said: "Son, you have to be cautious, it is because Cao Gong has done this, so he has to take care of his reputation. ”

"Dad, although I don't know very much, I also know that people who do big things are informal. If you are as timid as a woman, how can you achieve great things? Besides, is there a better way than that?"

Sima Yi also considered the strength of the two families, maybe they were equal, but if they really fought hard, their own side may not be the opponent of Xi Yu.

And Xi Yu uses soldiers like gods, in this case, they have to think of a way to do it.

He did consider this method.

Even if it is scolded by the world, what does it matter?

It's good after a long time.

Sima Shi said at the same time: "If you succeed, you will be the king, and if you lose, if you really win, after a long time, people will gradually forget about this matter, and then people will say that Cao Gong is winning with wisdom." ”

"Dad, you've been hoping for them to win, but you have to listen to your son."

After a while, Sima Yi finally nodded.

He said that this matter should be discussed with Cao Pi.

"In that case, let's wait until the rain stops."

Sima Yi thought to himself, too, I don't remember this time.

In the evening, the rain finally stopped, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

Just now, a soldier came to report to Cao Pi, saying that Xi Zhicai was sick and might not be able to come for a while recently, and hoped to ask for a leave.

Cao Pi hurriedly asked what was going on.

The other party said that he occasionally felt a cold, and now he has taken medicine and is recuperating.

Seeing Sima Yi coming, Cao Pi brought some grapes to share with him.

"Zhongda, is there anything wrong with you? Let's eat the grapes first. ”

Sima Yi had no intention of eating grapes, so he told his advice.

But he did not say his son's name. Rather, he said that it was his own idea.

Cao Pi's reaction was too, is this idea good?

I was just insulted, and if I do this again, won't everyone think that I am a despicable villain?

"Cao Gong, my subordinates have actually considered this problem, but they are not informalized when they do big things."

Cao Pi hurriedly asked Sima Yi if there was such a similar example in this history.

If someone does this, then it makes sense to do it themselves.

"Duke Cao, there was a Duke Zheng Zhuang in the Spring and Autumn Period, you should understand his affairs, right?"

Cao Pi nodded, after all, he had read a lot of books.

Speaking of Zheng Zhuanggong, he remembered a lot of allusions.

Zheng Zhuanggong is a very black-bellied person, but he has also achieved a hegemony.

"But Xi Zhicai took a leave of absence today, saying that he was sick."

Sima Yi was shocked.

"Did he pretend to be sick, did he already realize that something was wrong, so he did it on purpose?"

"Impossible, you and Ben Hou are only discussing this matter now, how can he know?"

But Sima Yi felt that the other party must have had a premonition.

That's why he pretended to be sick, so he might as well let Cao Pi test whether he was really sick.

"Gong Cao, why don't your subordinates accompany you to his mansion tomorrow to see if he is really sick or pretending to be sick?"

Cao Pi thought about it, so it's okay, anyway, his family has already come to ask for leave, so as his master, it is natural for him to visit his subordinates.

That night, Xi Yu rested in Sun Shangxiang's room.

When Sun Shangxiang was about to serve him, he saw that he was a little indifferent.

"Husband, is it because you are about to marry the two of them, so you are a little tired of old people like me?"

"You think too much, where is there such a thing, I was worried about my brother just now."

Only then did Sun Shangxiang understand that he had misunderstood him.

She knew, it must be because the next two places were going to fight, so Xi Zhi was sandwiched in the middle, which was a little ugly.

"But the eldest brother himself is very stubborn, and he is unwilling to take refuge in his husband."

"That's why I'm a little worried."

In short, this is a messy thing.

He didn't have the heart to do anything for men and women tonight, so he just let Sun Shangxiang sleep like this with him.

"Husband, otherwise you will go directly to Luoyang to pick up the eldest brother."

Xi Yu suddenly smiled bitterly, this idea is too naïve, although he is kind, can he go there and the eldest brother will come back?

"If I could, wouldn't I have picked it up a long time ago?"

"The eldest brother's heart is not here at all, after all, he will be caught in the middle and embarrassed, we will be moved by his affection and reason."

Xi Yu shook his head, this is not a way at all, let the other party stop saying that.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Yu was counting down, but because he was thinking about his brother's affairs, he couldn't be happy.

He quickly returned to the room and asked the secret guard Qin Feng to come out.

"I don't know what happened to the drama to find his subordinates?"

"I want you to go to Luoyang, and then to my brother's mansion."

"What are you going to do there? I also hope that the drama will be clear. ”

"Go protect my brother."

Xi Yu just considered that if the two armies were fighting, it would not only be Xi Zhicai who was in an embarrassing situation.

It is possible that Cao Pi will take him hostage to threaten himself.

Now from all indications, Cao Pi is completely capable of doing this kind of thing, just like working with ninjas, he can do it.

Isn't this kind of thing a trivial matter for him?

Coupled with the fact that there are some strategists around him who give him ideas, he will be even more unscrupulous to do such things.

Xi Yu then told Qin Feng what he was worried about.

Qin Feng said: "Okay, Xigong, don't worry, the subordinates will set off immediately." ”

With this promise, Xi Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best if there was no such thing.

If there is, then Qin Feng can protect his brother.

He said silently in his heart, brother, we will meet soon.

When he attacked the city, he must have met this brother.

After Qin Feng left, he could rest assured that he could think about getting married.

And Sun Shangxiang and Ouyang Linlin took on the procurement arrangements for the marriage, and several men were responsible for the problems on the day of the marriage.

And Liu Xie has also gone to the outside of Youzhou with the little eunuch to play these days, and of course, Xi Yu also sent people to protect them.

After all, the safety of the emperor is important.

Every time he travels, Liu Xie deeply feels the prosperity of Youzhou.

And I witnessed the traffic rules system formulated by Xi Yu, although a small number of people violated the traffic rules, but most of them were still good.

Overall, Youzhou is still very prosperous.

That night, Liu Xie and Xi Yu had dinner together.

"Xigong, I heard that you are building a road now."

"Yes, I want to connect all the territories I manage to better serve the welfare of the people."

"It's a really big project."

Xi Yu said that although the project is very large, he does it for the people, and he is also very good to the workers, giving them a high price.

So they are willing to do it, and there will be no tofu scum project.

"Your Majesty, just like the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty, in order to resist the Xiongnu, but I don't know how many wives were separated, and many migrant workers died because of this."

"Your Majesty, you should understand why when the Great Wall was being built, many people insulted Qin Shi Huang, but Weichen did these projects, but basically no one insulted him."

Xi Yu nodded, the reason is very simple.

"It's because Qin Shi Huang is for himself, and you are really for the people."

Xi Yu poured a pot of wine for Liu Xie, and then talked about the problem of peace and prosperity.

"What does Your Majesty think of Wenjing Zhizhi?"

When Xi Yu was talking about this issue, he thought that he had also talked about this issue with Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao had entered another world at this moment.

Xi Yu also sighed that time had passed so quickly, and it had been several years since he had traveled to this world.

"The rule of Wenjing is naturally a prosperous era, at that time, the ancestors have gone through the rule of the people, so that the people can live a good life."

Xi Yu smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, if I say something disrespectful, I wonder if you will be able to forgive Wei Chen's mistakes?"

"Drama Gong, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt you to talk about it."

"Wechen doesn't think it's really a prosperous age."

Liu Xie was stunned.

That's not called a prosperous age, what else is it called?

During the Zhou Dynasty, it was divided, and the big vassal states went their own way, so they set Zhou Tianzi in the air, and in the Qin Dynasty, they used Legalism to govern violently.

Finally arrived in the era of the great unification of the Han Dynasty, and the rule of Wenjing appeared, which is a good story left for the ages, why did he deny him when he came to Xi Yu?

Liu Xie's face was a little ugly.

"Your Majesty, your reaction is like this, and Weichen can understand it."

Liu Xie said angrily: "Then you explain to me what is going on?" ”

When Xi Yu talked about the so-called prosperous era, sometimes it was some virtual phenomena, but it was relatively prosperous in another period.

However, there were times when the population was declining from year to year.

This is just an illusion created by the literati.

The era of the rule of Wenjing was better, and when it came to the rule of Zhenguan, the era of Kangqian was even more false, and many of them could be boasted of by some literati.

However, there is no need to say anything about the follow-up situation.

After hearing this, Liu Xie felt very reasonable.

"I see, your words really made me pause."

Then, he smiled wryly.

"It seems that you still have ambitions, I hope your merits can surpass Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing."

It seems that sooner or later the world will be full of drama, so there is nothing to avoid this question.

"This is the goal of the subordinates, but it is not easy to say whether it can be achieved or not."

Liu Xie was silent, his mood was very complicated.

He felt that his life was ill-fated, he encountered troubled times, and met many people he didn't want to meet.

and also met Xi Yu, a prodigy of the world.

"Okay, Your Majesty, let's not just talk, the food is cold."

Xi Yu asked Liu Xie to hurry up and eat.

The next day, Xi Yu received a letter written by Liu Bei from Fang County.

It turned out that the news of the emperor's arrival had already been told to Liu Bei by Guan Yu in the form of a letter.

So Liu Bei wanted to ask, he wanted to come over to worship the emperor, but he didn't know if it was appropriate.

And Guan Yu wrote a letter to himself, and he also hoped that Xi Yu would not blame Guan Yu.

Xi Yu knew that if he didn't agree, Liu Bei would definitely say that he was not close to people, so he might as well kick this ball directly to Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei sent a letter to Weichen, do you think you need to make a decision, how about it?"

"Oh, Uncle Huang actually wrote you a letter, is it appropriate for me to think?"

"Because it is related to His Majesty, His Majesty can naturally watch it."

Liu Xie took the letter and looked at it, only to find that it was Xi Yu who kicked the ball to him.

"Xigong, what do you think?"

"Since Liu Bei likes His Majesty very much, it is naturally okay to come to worship, but I don't know if His Majesty is willing to see him."

Liu Xie said: "Yes, I also want to see him, then you can reply." ”

Because Liu Bei said in the letter that he also hoped to come to the wedding and be happy.

So, Xi Yu immediately found someone to reply to Liu Bei.

The next day, Liu Bei received the letter.

In fact, Liu Bei is full of confidence, he thinks that after Xi Yu receives the letter, he will definitely let him pass.

He didn't even think about another possibility.

In the letter, Xi Yu praised him for his special respect for His Majesty the Emperor.

You can come, but you must explain the affairs of Fang County, and you must not leave any worries.

After everything is explained, you can come directly.

Liu Bei quickly arranged the matter, and then went to Youzhou non-stop.

At this moment, Qin Feng had already come to Luoyang.

I'm about to enter Xi Zhicai's house.

On this day, Sima Yi and Cao Pi came to visit Xi Zhicai.

Knowing that Cao Pi was coming, the subordinates did not report it, so they let them in directly.

Xi Zhicai was lying on the bed, looking listless, and a few subordinates were guarding the door.

When they saw Cao Pi, they immediately saluted.

Xi Zhi knew that since Cao Pi had arrived, although he was sick, he was not confused.

He understood that Cao Pi was here to test, and soon Cao Pi and Sima Yi were booked into the room.

Xi Zhicai hurriedly prepared to get up and salute.

Cao Pi said: "Ben Hou heard that you are sick, don't salute. ”

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly, he was really sick, and there were actually two people who came to visit him.

"Since you found someone to tell Ben Hou that day, Ben Hou has been very concerned, and today I finally took the time to see you."

Sima Yi saw that the other party really didn't look like he was pretending to be sick, and there was a bowl on the table.

There were the residues of medicine in the bowl, and Xi Zhi asked the two of them to sit down quickly.

"I don't know how you got sick?"

Xi Zhicai found a reason, saying that he might have been dressed too thin when he got up one night, and he didn't feel anything wrong at that time.

The next day, I was sick, vomiting, coughing, and having a headache.

I thought it would be better soon, but I didn't expect it to be getting worse and worse.

"My subordinates can't share government affairs with Cao Gong these days, and I really feel special pain."

Naturally, his remarks are also half-truths.

He is indeed very loyal to Cao Pi, but since Cao Pi cooperated with the ninja, he has also been slightly chilled.

"You don't have to be so polite, now you just need to take care of your body. There are still a lot of people in Ben Hou's hands, and they can all make ideas for Ben Hou. ”

Sima Yi said: "Gong Cao, Mr. Xi is very sick this time. ”

Cao Pi hurriedly asked him what he meant.

Xi Zhicai was also a little unhappy.

"Mr. Sima, isn't it possible that you are looking forward to my illness?"

After saying this, he coughed violently.

Sima Yi said: "Mr. Xi, don't misunderstand what I mean. ”

"Then what do you mean, you have to make it clear to me." After another cough, Xi Zhi said.

Of course, because of the cold, his voice has become different from usual, which further confirms that his illness is definitely not fake.

"Because Xi Yu is about to have a decisive battle with Cao Gong, if you are asked to make an idea, you will definitely be in a dilemma, so at this time, God let you get an illness, so it's not a good thing to rest?"

"I see." Xi Zhicai couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"There is some truth in saying this, okay, it's not too early, let's not disturb Mr. Xi's rest."

Cao Pi stood up, and finally, the two of them walked out of the house.

Sima Yi said: "Cao Gong, about those things......

"Anyway, Xi Yu hasn't officially attacked yet, so there's no rush in that matter, let him recuperate first." (End of chapter)
