"Phew~"

Cao Ren, who was wearing a brocade robe, stopped the somewhat restless war horse, and looked at the guard of honor of King Wei in the distance, with a puzzled look on his face.

"At this time, the king is out of the palace, what is the so-called?"

Under Cao Ren's head, Xiahou Nan comforted the somewhat irritable war horse, and said with a smile: "The king is suffocated in the palace, maybe he went to hunt in the field." ”

"No!"

Cao Ren frowned and said: "The king is definitely not going to hunt in the field, he wants to go to the field hunting, and he has to go from the north gate. ”

South Gate?

Xiahou Nan was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, he said, "General, South Gate. The Plains Hou Mansion is in the direction of the South Gate. ”

Plains Marquis?

"Isn't Pingyuan Hou imprisoned? What did the king do when he went to the Plains Marquis's Mansion this time? ”

Thinking of Cao Pi's attitude towards Cao Zhi during the DPRK meeting a few days ago, Cao Ren's face suddenly became gloomy.

Xiahou Nan thought for a moment, and his face was a little dark.

"I heard that recently, there have been many plain marquis who have been rampant in the imperial history, and there are even more rebellious moves. Could the king have been deceived? ”

Confused?

"Those imperial histories, don't tell the truth, go to the sycophants, the king wants to kill the Marquis of Pingyuan, so they handed over the knife, it is really a minister, a traitor! I'll have to wait to stop the king. ”

"Block?"

Xiahou Nan subconsciously took half a step back.

The smile on his face was reluctant.

"General, now that the king is angry, I'll wait to stop it, isn't this asking for hardship?"

"We are courtiers, and if the king wants to do something wrong, how can we ignore it?"

Cao Ren pulled the reins and controlled the horses to the south.

"General, it's nothing more than killing a person, and there is still evidence of his guilt."

Xiahou Nan shouted behind Cao Ren.

"What is the danger of adding sin? The Marquis of Pingyuan was raised by me, he must not be such a person, if there is no definite evidence of the crime, he will only cause infamy, if the king is charged with killing relatives, it is not for us to be a courtier. ”

After speaking, Cao Ren clamped the horse between his legs, drove the horses under him, and headed towards the Pingyuan Houfu.

At this moment, the Plains Marquis Mansion has long been surrounded by the palace guards.

Bang~

The gate of the Hou Mansion was opened.

Hundreds of palace guards entered the Hou Mansion and took control of the situation in an instant.

Cao Pi walked in slowly, and soon arrived in the lobby of the Hou Mansion.

Immediately, a waiter arranged the seat of King Wei in it, and after a while, Cao Pi sat down with a cruel smile on his face.

Zijian

Brother can't wait to see you pee your pants in fear.

Soon, Cao Zhi, who was full of wine and had a panicked face, was put in by the palace guards.

"Brother, brother, brother to meet the king."

Cao Zhi's face was drunk, but when he saw Cao Pi's smiling face, the smell of wine suddenly dissipated, and the whole person was sober.

"Zijian is very leisurely, and he still has the leisure to drink and have fun here?"

Cao Zhi knelt on the ground, his buttocks pouted high, and after hearing Cao Pi's words, he hurriedly said: "Brother useless people, what else can you do besides drinking?" ”

Cao Zhi's words reminded Cao Pi of Cao Zhi's literary talent, although his literary talent is not bad, but compared to this younger brother, it is much worse.

That's why

He immediately sneered: "Zi Jianwen's endowment comes from the national style. The backbone is extremely high, and the words are colorful. Affection and resentment, the body is literary, overflowing with the present and the ancient, and outstanding. The world praises you for having a Zhou Kong, a dragon and a phoenix for your scales and feathers, a piano and sheng for music, and a female worker for being dark.

With such a high talent, how can you be called a useless person? “

Saying that, Cao Pi got up from the main seat, walked in front of Cao Zhi, and said: "Besides, although you are in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, your heart is outside Luoyang, I heard that you are still conspiring with Huang Xu'er Cao Zhang, but? ”

Cao Zhi's heart was like ashes, and he had a feeling that his little life was going to be explained here today.

However.

Even if there is only a glimmer of life, he can't let it go.

"The younger brother has no intention of rebellion, nor does he have the truth of rebellion, and he also asks the king to know it. Now that my brother has no ambition, he wants to return to the mountains and forests, but for the rest of his life, he will not ask about the affairs of the world, but only drink my wine. ”

Cao Zhi's words are what he said, I don't threaten anymore, you have a lot, just let me go.

However, Cao Zhi's words were heard in Cao Pi's ears, and that was another matter.

Want to retreat to the mountains?

Do you still want to drink every day and live happily?

How can there be such a good thing!

"I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, come on, take out the evidence!"

Immediately, two janissaries stepped forward and walked in with a suitcase.

"Look what's in this box!"

Cao Zhi looked at the wooden box, and his face suddenly became excited.

"King, although this box belongs to the Hou Mansion, the contents are not from the Hou Mansion."

No wonder King Wei wanted to come in in a big fight, it turned out that he was here to blame the trouble.

Cao Zhi's heart is bitter, that hateful!

"The things in the Hou Mansion and the Hou Mansion, dare to say that they are not yours?"

Squeak~

The box was opened, and there were actually volumes of documents inside, Cao Pi took out a volume at random, and said with a smile: "This is the city defense map of Luoyang, you say, why do you have it in your house?" It's not like to collude with the traitor Cao Zhang! ”

was scolded by Cao Pi, Cao Zhi didn't dare to talk back to him, so he had to say aggrievedly: "Brother, please also for the sake of you and I being brothers, spare Zhi's life!" ”

It is because of my brother that I can't let you go.

Anyone who has the potential to sit on the throne of the King of Wei, he will not let it go.

Not to mention, he and Cao Zhi still have personal grudges in it.

Just as Cao Pi was about to convict Cao Zhi, a sharp roar of an internal official sounded outside the hall.

"The king, the general asks to see you."

General?

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment.

What is Cao Ren doing here at this moment?

He thought for a while, but still said, "Please come in, General." ”

Moments later.

Cao Ren broke in in a hurry.

"The last general, meet the king."

"Uncle Zixiao, please get up quickly."

Cao Pi helped Cao Ren up, with a kind smile on his face.

"King, please take a step to speak."

Cao Ren looked at Cao Zhi, whose face was like ashes, and then looked at the box on Cao Zhi's side, and he had already guessed the general story.

Borrow a step?

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment.

"Uncle Zixiao has something to say, you might as well say it here."

Cao Ren was like a smelly and hard stone in the pit at the moment, but he said loudly: "Please also ask the king to take a step to speak." ”

Cao Ren's meaning, Cao Pi already vaguely knows.

But.

Facing Cao Ren, who had a persistent face, he really couldn't refuse.

Not only because Cao Ren was his most respected elder, but also because Cao Ren was the head of the clan and his hardcore supporter compared to the wavering Shi clan forces.

For die-hard supporters, Cao Pi naturally can't let them chill.

"That's fine."

Cao Pi and Cao Ren went to the inner room.

When the door was closed, there were only two people, Cao Pi and Cao Ren.

"Uncle Zixiao, there are only you and me here, you can speak bluntly if you have something to say."

Thump~

Cao Ren immediately knelt down.

Seeing this, Cao Pi hurriedly hugged Cao Ren, and said in a hurry: "Why does Uncle Zixiao have to bow to each other, please get up quickly." ”

Cao Ren, who was kneeling, was helped up by Cao Pi.

"The king, the king has lost his honor in front of the king, and I ask the king to convict."

"Uncle Zixiao is the heart of his fist, he is loyal, Pi knows it well, how can he blame it?"

Cao Ren saw that Cao Pi did not blame, and then said: "Since the king thinks that a certain is a loyal minister, then such and such has to say something that a loyal minister has to say. ”

Good advice can be hard to swallow.

Nature doesn't make people happy.

Cao Pi looked at Cao Ren, who had sincere eyes, and had to nod.

"Uncle Zixiao, please speak."

Call~

Cao Ren slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then said:

"I know that the king has a grudge against the Marquis of Pingyuan, and even wants to kill him as soon as possible, but his subordinates want to say to the king, the Marquis of Pingyuan, you must not kill him!"

Can't kill?

Tens of millions?

The smile on Cao Pi's face gradually disappeared, and the hand holding Cao Ren was also removed.

"He has the heart of rebellion, and he has evidence of rebellion, why can't he be killed?"

"Because he is the king's own brother!"

Cao Pi sneered and said, "Who said that a brother can't be killed? ”

Cao Ren's pupils shrank, and he thought in his heart: It seems that the king's heart is even harder and colder than he imagined!

"Because the king's evidence is fake, the king can deceive himself, but he can't deceive the people of the world, especially the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei."

How can you get that Liu Chan child at this time?

"I'm far away in Luoyang, and I'm still afraid that Liu Chan will not be able to make it?"

When I was in Runan, I was afraid that I would be afraid, but when I arrived in Luoyang, I was afraid of him!

"That Hanzhong prince Liu Chan has a military division under his subordinates, I heard that the military department has reported that it is all over the Wei country along the Shang Alliance, that is, Luoyang, and there are also many military department reports, if the king kills the Marquis of Pingyuan, whether there is evidence or not, but the killing of relatives is true, then Liu Chan learned the news, how will he use public opinion to pour dirty water on the king?"

was said by Cao Ren, but Cao Pi was a little speechless.

Seeing that Cao Pi's attitude was relaxed, Cao Ren continued:

"The king is a person who wants to do great things, so this reputation should be cherished, don't be used by people with intentions!"

matter

It will indeed cause criticism, but if he doesn't kill Cao Zijian, he won't be in a good mood!

But if he insisted on killing, the general Cao Ren refused.

Cao Pi's eyes rolled slightly, and he said: "If you don't kill the Marquis of Pingyuan, you will see the will of heaven and its creation." ”

Providence, creation?

"What does the king mean by that?"

"Let's try Pingyuan Hou Wencai, if his seven steps can become a poem, he will spare his life."

Seven steps into a poem

For him Cao Ren, it may be an extremely difficult thing, but for Cao Zhi, it may not be.

He pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Just follow what the king says!" ”

"Good!"

He wants to see if Cao Zijian can really survive today?

The two returned to the lobby.

"The king can spare my life?"

Seeing Cao Ren pulling Cao Pi to the inner room to talk, Cao Zhi's heart rekindled the hope of life.

"I know that my son Jianwen is peerless, so I will try your literary talent, if you can become a poem in seven steps, God will forgive your sins."

Seven steps to poetry?

Cao Zhi's face was serious, and he got up and said, "Please advise!" ”

That's what he's good at.

Cao Pi's eyes glanced twice in the lobby, and immediately, an ink painting in the hall of "two oxen fighting under the wall, one cow falling into a well and dying" attracted Cao Pi's attention.

He pointed to the ink paintings in the hall and said:

If Zijian can compose a poem within seven steps, and the poem is not allowed to commit the words "two bulls fight under the wall, and one ox falls into the well and dies", he can forgive the death penalty, and if he can't do it, he will be punished heavily. ”

Poetry?

"Brother of the courtiers!"

Cao Zhi looked at the ink paintings in the hall and walked slowly.

One-step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

It wasn't until he took five steps and made Cao Ren's right eyelid jump wildly that Cao Zhi froze.

"There it is."

He saluted Cao Pi and read aloud: "The two flesh walk in unison, and the head wears a concave bone." Encounter the block under the mountain, and the rise of each other. The two enemies are not strong, and the other is a wolch. It's not as good as the strength, and the vigor is not exhausted. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Good poetry, good poetry, king, this is the will of heaven!"

This Cao Zijian is really amazing!

Cao Pi frowned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is the painting in his hall, maybe I will make this poem before." ”

"King, you have no jokes!" Cao Ren saw that Cao Pi was going to repent, and he was immediately anxious.

Cao Zhi said: "Why don't my brother ask another question." ”

"Good!"

Cao Pi paced again and again, as if he wanted to say something, and said: "Seven steps into a poem is still slow, I want you to do it in response." ”

Cao Zhi said: "Please propose." ”

Cao Pi immediately said: "You and I are brothers, and with this as the theme, we are not allowed to commit the word 'brother'." ”

Cao Pi thought to himself, if it is successful, it will be enough, let it go and kill again, and if it doesn't work, he will immediately kill the killer.

As for letting Cao Zhi go?

He will repay Cao Pi and will never let go.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi wrote a poem without thinking: "Boiled beans are used as soup, and soaked beans are used as juice." The beans are burning under the kettle, and the beans are crying in the kettle. This is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other! ”

"This"

It's Cao Pi, and he is also moving at the moment.

In the poem, he uses the metaphor of "boiling beans and burning fire" to accuse him of fratricidalism.

After all, it's still a brother!

Cao Pi was moved by the feelings of flesh and blood after hearing this, and his face was ashamed, of course, he was afraid that the world would laugh at him.

Cao Zhi made such a poem, and he still wanted to kill him, so he Cao Pi was still a human?

In order to keep his reputation and settle the world.

Cao Pi had no choice but to say: "Let's go! ”

He waved his hand and said, "Cao Zhi has been demoted to the Marquis of Anping, and he will return to China on the same day!" ”

After saying that, he immediately brushed his sleeves and left.

When he left, Cao Pi regretted it, why did he let Cao Zhi write poems?

As soon as this poem was written and his reputation spread, wouldn't he Cao Pi become the one who harmed his siblings?

Now you can't kill Cao Zhi.

At the very least, you can't die in Luoyang.

Cao Pi's eyes flickered.

After I go to seal the country, I will take your life again!

"Thank you, Uncle Zixiao."

got a new life, Cao Zhi hurriedly saluted Cao Ren.

The latter shook his head and said, "Zijian's life, whether it can be saved or not is another matter, cherish it!" ”

In other words, he went with Cao Pi.

Can his life be saved?

Cao Zhi immediately reacted.

I wrote two poems, but I just gave myself a suspended sentence, damn it, I have to die?

Hehehe~

Cao Zhi smirked and looked up, already sobbing.

Father

The child's life, why is it so bitter!
