Outside the city of Xudu.

Cao Pi, who was dressed in the robes of the prince of Wei, waited on the side early.

In the past month or so, he has gradually become familiar with Cao Cao's usual affairs, and he has gradually found a sense of getting along with Cao Cao's civil and military generals.

Of course...

He also had a team.

Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang and other clan relatives, as well as Cui Yan, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Mao Ji and other ministers, when they fought with Cao Zhi, they firmly stood on his side.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier,

These people who originally firmly supported him, he naturally had to be entrusted with important tasks.

Distance...

On the earth, where the whole world was white, a black spot appeared.

The black dot got closer and closer, and gradually turned into a corps of troops.

The soldiers in black armor had grim faces, and their brows were furrowed.

Marching in the snow in winter, the sourness of it, only these big-headed soldiers know the difficulties, these nobles, they know a fart!

"Abandon your hometown.

Leaving the house.

Far away from the military.

Overcoming thorns.

Ask for a stranger.

Side-footed solitary embarrassment. ”

Cao Pi sighed with emotion and stepped forward slowly.

He had already seen Cao Cao's king.

"Son, meet your father."

"Your Majesty, meet the king."

Cao Pi led a group of clan ministers and knelt on both sides of Cao Cao's car.

"The king is safe."

Cao Ren roared loudly from the king's seat to the minister who was kneeling on the ground.

"Get up without courtesy."

Cao Ren answered for Cao Cao, Cao Pi knelt on the ground, his eyes flickered, but he didn't waste time, he immediately got up and said, "Thank you, Father." ”

The rest of the ministers are mountain shouting: "The king is a thousand years old!" ”

got up, Cao Cao did not invite Cao Pi to join the king's car, but went straight into the city of Xudu.

"Your Highness."

Chen Qun stepped forward, his eyes were vague, and he whispered: "The king even has to let the general do the work for him, I'm afraid..."

"Don't say much!"

Cao Pi waved his hand to stop what Chen Qun was about to say, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Zijian... Should it be almost there? ”

Chen Qun nodded.

"It should be these days."

Cao Pi nodded.

"Go into the city and meet your father."

His father's body was even more corrupt than he imagined.

Can't even speak?

It's not to say...

Soon?

Cao Pi was both excited and sad in his heart, and in the bottom of his heart, he was even a little scared and worried.

Excitedly, he was finally going to come out.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows.

What's more, my own Lao Tzu is still a suspicious person.

It's good to kill in a dream!

In the process of seizing the heir, he almost survived, and finally survived.

Cao Ang, Cao Chong, Cao Zhi.

Now it's finally his turn Cao Pi!

The sad thing is that Cao Cao is his biological father after all, and now he is seriously ill and dying, as a son, he naturally has sadness in his heart.

His father has more than 20 sons, and although he has never been fond of Cao Zihuan, he has never despised him.

What should have been given to him, it was finally given to him.

And there was no discrimination.

And what I am afraid and worried about is that after the death of his father Wang Xu, he Cao Pi will really be able to control the entire territory of Wei?

This world is fought by his son, and he, as a son, can keep the foundation and even dominate the world?

As the saying goes, it's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to defend the world.

The situation in the territory of Wei is complicated, the family, the clan, the Haoqiang, the emperor, Cao Pi just learned about it, and he felt a little anxious.

Not to mention, in addition to internal troubles, he Wei also has external worries.

Jiangdong rat generation, you can ignore him.

Xianbei in the north and the countries in the Western Regions in the west can be ignored.

But Liu Xuande of Yizhou and Liu Gonghei of Jingzhou, he did not dare to ignore it.

Especially the heir of the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghe!

Liu Bei is of the same generation as his father, and he Cao Pi can survive him.

But this Liu Chan is younger than him!

Even as old as his son.

Who survives whom?

And...

Even if Cao Pi doesn't want to admit that Liu Chan is better than him, it can't be denied that Liu Chan is indeed not ordinary, and he has skills in military and politics.

A young, ambitious, righteous person, the world's most desirable, and capable heir of the crown prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghe.

I'm afraid it will be his lifelong enemy Cao Pi!

Cao Pi's heart was full of distractions, but the next moment, he shook his head heavily and threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

If you are afraid of this and that, what kind of Wei king should I Cao Zihuan be?

It's better to surrender as soon as possible, and forget about the heir of Liu Gonghe, the crown prince of Hanzhong!

...

Wei Wangfu.

Inner courtyard room.

Cao Pi walked in slowly, but saw a sick old man lying on the bed.

The skinny appearance is like that of a dying man.

Although a month ago, when Cao Cao was in Xudu, he was already weak, but now Cao Cao's appearance is really similar to that of a dead man.

The difference between the two is huge.

"Bring the medicine."

Cao Ren was carrying a bowl of thick soup in front of him, saying that it was soup, but it was more soup and soup residue.

A bowl of soup and medicine is full of herbs.

Cao Cao took the medicine bowl, frowned, and chewed while drinking, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to drink this small bowl of soup and medicine.

"Whew~"

He slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, drank the hot decoction, and finally showed a little blood on his pale face.

The painful head, which was like a pinprick prick, ushered in a long-lost peace.

The ninth side drug.

The last pair of medicines, and finally, there are no more medicines to take.

After sitting paralyzed for another quarter of an hour, Cao Cao's eyes gradually became bright.

He looked at Cao Pi, who was waiting by the side early, and said to Cao Ren: "Zixiao, you go and wait outside the door, you have something to say, you have to talk to Zihuan alone." ”

"No."

Hearing this, Cao Ren put away the medicine bowl, nodded to Cao Pi, and walked towards the door.

When you go out, don't forget to close the door.

"You go out and make rounds, and no one is allowed to come within 100 meters of here!"

"No!"

The guards immediately left, and Cao Ren stood at the door, motionless like a door god.

In the room, Cao Pi was numb by Cao Cao's tiger eyes.

After standing for almost half an hour, his feet were already a little numb.

But at this moment, he did not dare to speak.

"Lone already knows what is going on in Xu Ducheng, and you have done a good job."

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "It's all what the sons should do, and if there is something that is not done well, please correct my father." ”

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi, but his tone was a little heavier.

"Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, you only do national affairs, what about family affairs? I can't even control a woman. ”

Hearing Cao Cao's reprimand, Cao Pi's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Erchen... Son..."

That slut!

Thinking of Zhen Mi's appearance of Cheng Huan under Liu Gonghei, Cao Pi's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

A feeling of being cown, straight to the brain.

"That's it."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi's performance and was very dissatisfied.

"It's just a woman, looking at women like clothes, wearing them if they are suitable, and abandoning them if they are not suitable, now that Mrs. Zhen is captured by the heir of Duke Liu, what you have to do is not to gasp for breath, not to look angry, but to find a way to snatch her back, and even snatch the wife and concubine of Duke Liu's heir to play with her!"

Playing with other people's women, in this world, who can be better at it than him Cao Mengde? More insights?

"Erchen understood."

"You don't understand!"

Cao Cao's tiger eyes looked directly at Cao Pi, he Cao Mengde was very arrogant, and he didn't know how to give birth to such a feminine son.

Not manly at all!

"Can you swear to the sky in front of Lone that you must defeat the heir of Liu Gong, the crown prince of Hanzhong, take his inheritance, plunder his wife and daughter, and gain his subjects?"

Defeat the crown prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei?

Cao Pi hesitated for a moment, then immediately pointed to the sky with his right hand and said, "My son will definitely be able to do it!" ”

"You must do it, otherwise, if you are alone under the Nine Springs, you will not be blind."

"Father..."

Cao Pi's eyes were red, and he was about to kneel down immediately.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Crying and crying, is it the image of the human master?" You stand up for me! ”

was shouted by Cao Cao, Cao Pi hurriedly wiped the tears on his face and straightened his waist.

"Lone asks you, if I am a hundred years later, this Wei State, how will you rectify it?"

How to rectify the Wei State?

Cao Pi thought for a while and said: "Erchen thinks that to govern the country, we should first pay attention to the election of officials. The advance and retreat of talents are related to the turbidity of the rule of officials, the gains and losses of politics, and the management of officials to win people, then the officials are all untreated. ”

Cao Pi secretly glanced at his old father Cao Cao, and found that he did not show a strange expression on his face, and his heart was settled.

"If you want to control the overall situation to stabilize people's hearts, you may be able to give you privileges and reward your merits."

The Shi clan is intertwined, that Liu Gonghei is a member of the Han Dynasty, after King Jing of Zhongshan, he carries a big banner on his body, if he Cao Pi wants to confront it, give concessions to the family, in order to get their support, it is not as good as it.

"You go on."

Concessions with the scholars?

Let is allowed, but it depends on how much.

If the scholar clan becomes bigger, so that it cannot be controlled, then this world is the world of his Cao family, or the world of the scholar clan?

"Governing the country and appointing officials is also the top priority, and appointing officials to serve is related to the profits and losses of the rule of officials, and the efficacy of governing the country. When the sons are serving as officials, they will naturally be able to recognize people and be good at their duties, assign positions based on their talents, employ people with sincerity, stick to one pattern, and reward the good and punish the evil.

Honors, gifts, special simplifications, probation, recommendation, transfer, filling vacancies, part-time appointments, dispatches and other ways of appointing officials, the ministers have long known that they will already be used, and when they are appointed officials, they will also pay attention to checks and balances and balance all aspects of the forces, so as to achieve complete control of the court situation. ”

Cao Cao nodded.

"It seems that Zihuan, you have studied the country carefully."

If you govern a big country, you can cook a small fresh.

It is necessary to start in the smallest details in order to achieve results.

To make good use of qualified personnel is to ensure that officials are suitable for their posts, and to use them at the right time and make the best use of their talents, which is a key link in national governance.

When appointing officials, we must not only know people and know people, but also be rational and reasonable, and more importantly, we must be responsible, and on the basis of inspecting talents and investigating the causes, we should strive to achieve the highest priority, the right people and posts, and the right personnel; When appointing officials, it is necessary not only to concentrate the power of appointing officials, but also to disperse the path of appointing officials, and give full play to the leading advantages of the chief officer...

He Cao Cao is good at this, and he can govern Wei well.

Listening to Cao Pi's words today, he must have his own opinions on the way to be an official.

Very good.

"In the end, it's the magistrate. The effectiveness of the magistrates is related to the weal and woe of the people, the prosperity and decline of the world, the lack of governance by officials, and the chaos of officials. Judge by virtue, by courtesy, by law, by system..."

Cao Pi talked eloquently, he is not an incapable person.

Opposite.

In terms of governing the country for officials, he is not bad.

"Implement the tuntian system, and implement the valley and the city..."

"Restore agricultural production. Reduce tax expenditures and reduce the burden on the people..."

"Build Taixue and win the hearts of scholars..."

...

Cao Pi talked endlessly, and only stopped after talking for more than an hour.

Cao Cao's face has changed from the disgust and scrutiny at the beginning to the satisfaction now, and he can't help nodding.

It seems that he Cao Cao can be regarded as a successor.

If there is no war, Wei will be handed over to Zihuan, and he will be able to keep the foundation he Cao Cao.

Of course...

The premise is that there is no war.

Thinking of the heir of Duke Liu, Cao Cao's originally brilliant face couldn't help but become gloomy.

"The way to govern the country, Zihuan, you already have experience, and your lonely heart is very peaceful, so how to deal with that Liu Gonghei, do you have a plan in your heart?"

Dealing with Liu Gonghei?

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, he thought about it again and again, and said: "Liu Gonghei is indeed not to be underestimated, but there is no need to be afraid of him, my Wei country has the land of Kyushu, and the people are millions, so I will guard it first and recuperate, and within three or five years, the treasury will be full, and the soldiers will be elite. ”

Could it be that before, Cao Zixiao, Pang Lingming, Yu Wenze, and Xu Gongming were not considered strong generals?

Which of their soldiers is not an elite soldier?

There are more than 100,000 people.

still can't beat that Liu Gonghei.

Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Cao Pi's generalizations.

"What if three or five years later, he will join forces with Sun Quan of Jiangdong from Jingzhou and Hanzhong to attack our Wei State on three sides?"

Attacking Wei on three sides?

Cao Pi's face was grim, and he said: "Erchen will order Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu to be generals to guard Guanzhong; As for the heir of Liu Gong, Erchen personally led the troops and competed with him, then Jiangdong Sun Quan, Wenyuan was in Hefei, and Xuzhou had no worries. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "That's all you can think of?" ”

Cao Pi frowned, he could clearly feel that Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with his answer.

He thought for a long time, and his head was engaged in a fierce brainstorm.

"Jiangdong Sun Quan can be fought for, make an alliance with him, give him some benefits, invite him to break Jingzhou together, now Liu Gonghei is famous all over the world, the king of Hanzhong has the appearance of Gaozu, Nanchang Marquis has been defeated by that Liu Gongsi many times, he will have a grudge against Liu Gonghei, and attack Wei on three sides? No way! ”

This is a political consideration.

The military is only a political extension.

There are many battles that cannot be resolved politically, and can only be done by pinning their hopes on violence.

Before the war, stabilize Jiangdong, this is the best policy.

When it came time to send troops to deal with Jiangdong, it was already inferior.

"Also, Your Majesty... What are you going to do with it? ”

Your Majesty?

After thinking about it for a moment, Cao Pi immediately said:

"The father is a Han Chen, and the son is the son of Wei."

Cao Pi lowered his head and did not directly answer Cao Cao's words, but the answer was actually about to come out.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Remember, be decent."

"Erchen understands."

After talking to Cao Pi today, Cao Cao was obviously much more relaxed.

It's like there's something in my heart that I've finally done.

"Alone, stand down."

"No."

Cao Pi was relieved and slowly retreated, and when he was about to open the door, behind Cao Pi, Cao Cao's faint voice crawled into his ears.

"Chong'er that day, but you killed him?"

Buzz~

Cao Pi's ears were filled with a buzzing sound, as if something was rolling inside.

He quickly turned around and fell to his knees.

"Father, Chong'er is a brother of Erchen, how dare his son kill his relatives?"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Pi carefully, waved his hand, and said, "Remember what you said today, go down." ”

"No!"

Cao Pi's back was already soaked with sweat.

When he walked out of the room, his knees went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.

Cao Ren's hands were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Pi.

"Shizi be careful."

Cao Pi's face showed gratitude.

"Thank you, uncle."

Walking all the way out of the inner courtyard, Cao Pi's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help but laugh sadly twice.

Thirteen years of Jian'an.

How did Cao Chong die.

In this world, perhaps no one knows better than him, Cao Pi.

But as long as he can sit on the throne of King Wei, everything will be in the past.

Brother Chong.

He was bitten by a poisonous snake.

He Cao Pi said this, who can not believe it?

Who wouldn't believe it?!
