At night, just after dark, Cao Pi hurriedly got into a dilapidated carriage without any signs and secretly arrived in a mansion.

"What should the old man do when he sees this?" Cao Pi nervously looked at the old man in front of him who had already made a fortune and always had a smile on his face, and felt a little uneasy in his heart!

This old man's name is Jia Xu, Cao Pi knows what this seemingly harmless old man has done, and he has always felt that Cao Cao has many strategists, none of them can compare to him, and more importantly, he feels that this person has some liliang that ordinary people can't imagine, and this kind of liliang is something that others can't learn! So Cao Pi has always respected this old man.

"Childe thinks he should do what he thinks!" Jia Xu smiled.

"That Zhenguo Zhenren wants to cooperate with me, does the boss think it's okay?" Cao Pi trembled a little, his heart was extremely excited, he took great risks and secretly came to see Jia Xu, just to ask this sentence, if Jia Xu didn't say it, wouldn't it be in vain.

"Hehehe......" Jia Xu continued to smile and said, "The intelligence of Cao Chong's son, Cao Zhang's bravery, and Cao Zhi's Wencai are all loved by the king, what about you, childe......" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

"Boss, it's not that I don't know, my father has always disliked me, what do you mean by saying that? Please make it clear!" Cao Pi said with a deep bow.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "I heard that Gongzi once used a group of generals such as Pingyu General Liu Xun and Fenwei General Deng Zhan to drink and discuss martial arts, everyone discussed swordsmanship, among which Deng Zhan, the Fenwei General, has always been known as "good at arming, Xiao Wubing", that is, good at fist and foot kung fu, and proficient in various weapons, and can "empty hands into the white blade", Gongzi talked with him for a long time, and then with the sugarcane eaten at the banquet as a sword, both ended up in the competition, and hit Deng Zhan's arm three times in a row.

Later, Deng Zhan was not very convinced, so he asked Gongzi to change the target of the attack and try again. As a result, Childe hit him in the face. Shocked the audience. ”

Cao Pi said with a smile: "I don't want these things about Meng Lang to reach the ears of the boss, Pi was scolded by his father for this matter, and he has already woken up, and he will definitely not act like this in the future." ”

"Has the king ever scolded Gongzi?" Jia Xu smiled and said, "How did I hear that the king often mentions this matter, and praises Gongzi's courage and martial arts are not under Cao Zhang's Gongzi, and he also says that Gongzi's behavior is similar to when he was young." ”

"Father said this?" Cao Pi was a little surprised in his heart, and said after being slightly stunned: "The boss wants me to please my father with swordsmanship. But that doesn't seem possible. ”

Jia Xu just smiled, but he was silent, making Cao Pi grit his teeth: "This old man is good at everything, he knows everything, but he refuses to say anything clearly, and he wants to go back and slowly reminisce about it."

"The words of the Lord. I have benefited a lot, and I will definitely think about this problem when I go back, but I hope that the boss will make it clear whether I want to promise Zhenguo Zhenren!"

"Childe's swordsmanship teacher is Shi A, I heard that swordsmanship is very powerful, no wonder Childe's swordsmanship is so good, a famous teacher is a high apprentice!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

"The historian's swordsmanship is indeed very powerful!" Cao Pi said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart: "What does this old man mean?" Why do you keep talking about swordsmanship? No, Shi Ah is now in the Zhenguo Real Mansion, and he also came to contact him about this matter. The old man's repeated mention of him must be a hint that I agreed! ”

"Pi knows how to choose, thank you for your advice!" Cao Pi bowed to Jia Xu.

Jia Xuan avoided this worship and stood aside with a smile: "The Chinese courtiers of the dynasty are more happy with Cao Zhi's young master's literary talents, and the military generals respect Cao Zhang's martial arts. ”

Cao Pi's heart tightened, knowing that this was because he hadn't understood what this old man meant, and this old man would be like this, and said secretly in his heart: "This sentence just reminds me that Wenchen supported Cao Zhi, and the military generals supported Cao Zhang, am I in a bad situation?"

"If this is the case, I think that the succession must first get the Wenchen generals, Wenchen is mostly Confucian, and if you want to inherit the throne, you can't bypass Confucianism. And the Confucian sect has issued a killing order to Wuliang, they can't coexist peacefully, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so they must unite with Wuliang, if so, what I understand is right, he doesn't need to remind him otherwise. ”

If he meant not to agree to union, it didn't seem to make sense. I only need to provide some information and arrange some convenience, and someone will take the initiative to clear the obstacles for me, and what is better in the world than this? People have sent the knife and offered me to borrow it, so why should I not borrow it?"

Cao Pi only felt that his head was about to explode, and he couldn't think of what Jia Xu was thinking in his head at all.

At this time, I only listened to Jia Xu's faint and slightly sad words: "My health has been getting worse and worse in the past few years, and I know that I am afraid that I am not much older." ”

"The old man is still young, and it won't be a problem to live a few hundred years longer!" Cao Pi smiled and comforted, and suddenly his heart moved: "I also had a similar answer with my father!"

At this time, Jia Xu smiled and said: "Don't comfort me, my own body knows by itself, how long I can live, I have a number in my heart." ”

Cao Pi was very puzzled about what the old man was going to say, and at this time he only heard Jia Xu sigh and said: "After I die, everything I have will naturally belong to my unsuccessful son, the eldest son is Jia Mu is just a middle-aged person, but it is better to be steady, and the youngest son Jia Wan is smart, but a little frivolous, who do I have to pass it on to to keep my inheritance?"

"The boss teaches well, the two sons are both dragons and phoenixes among people, no matter who inherits the boss's inheritance, they will definitely be able to carry it forward!" Cao Pi said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart: "Is he implying me? Maybe I should say that it will be inherited by the eldest son!"

Jia Xu sighed and said: "Hey, maybe it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to accept, although I know that my time is short, and I also know that I will definitely be from the second son after I die, but I still think that maybe I can live longer, I don't want to think about it at the moment, once someone mentions the heir to me, I will be upset, that is, sometimes I muster up the courage to ask someone, but no matter what the answer is, I feel uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Cao Pi's heart suddenly shocked, his face was shocked, and then he showed a smile and said: "It was my mistake, or that sentence, the old man is still very young, but he doesn't have to think so much." ”

"In fact, I have always thought that this home is mine, and as long as I have a breath, everything in this house is mine. Jia Xu said lightly.

"Oh! Why didn't I think through my father's thoughts, although he knew that the time was short, but he didn't want to admit it, the more he was afraid of loss and betrayal, the more he regarded the world as his personal belongings, and he didn't allow anyone to touch it, not even his own son......" Cao Pi only felt that his whole body was covered with cold sweat, and he knelt down all of a sudden.

With Jia Xu's shrewdness, how dare he force the future lord to kneel down for himself, and hurriedly supported him, did not let him kneel, and said solemnly: "What is the son doing?

Cao Pi said: "Please save me!"

Jia Xu sighed and said, "What can't be saved, it's just that I'm an old man who nagged a few words." ”

Cao Pi hurriedly said, "Please also ask the boss to teach me." ”

Jia Xu sighed and said, "There's nothing to teach." On the etiquette system, the son is the eldest son, and it is a natural thing to inherit the throne of the king; on talent, the son is eight years old, can belong to the literature, has Yicai, and then runs through the ancient and modern scriptures to pass on the books of the hundred schools of thought, with the writing as the business, since the column into a hundred articles, the literary talent is rarely able in the world; on martial arts, the son began to learn to ride and shoot at the age of five, and became at the age of eight, and has been with the king for many years, and has been exposed to the essence of the king's use of soldiers。 As long as the prince can be patient and don't be impatient, the king's inheritance will naturally be passed on to the prince after a hundred years. ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "Listening to the old man's words is better than reading for ten years!"

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said: "Actually, I also know what Gongzi is worried about, but the king loves Gongzi Cao Zhi, but Gongzi Cao Zhi has done a stupid thing himself, and he asks Yang Xiu about anything, not only will he not show his talents, but it will make the king worry about the loss of power in the future."

Moreover, he acted willfully, did not encourage himself, drank inmodestly, and befriended literati all day long, which deepened the king's worries. The Chinese courtiers were mostly attached to him, which also made the king wonder if these courtiers just saw that he was a bully and planned to follow him in the future. Today is a troubled time, the world is not peaceful, no matter how much the king likes him, he will not choose him, and he will eventually choose the son. ”

When Cao Pi heard Jia Xu talk about Yang Xiu, he remembered Jia Xu's previous guidance to him, as well as Cao Cao's recent attitude towards Cao Zhi, and secretly congratulated himself that he had received Jia Xu's help, and his eyes showed a more reverent look towards Jia Xu.

After a while, Cao Pi said: "Since the boss has already said this, please tell me how to deal with the immeasurable real person's affairs!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Childe still doesn't understand? Zijian is because he listens to Yang Xiu in everything, so he will be disappointed by the king's expectations, if I help Gongzi make a decision in everything, what is the difference between Gongzi and Zijian who obeys Yang Xiu, once the king's words ......?"

Cao Pi nodded and said: "I know, I originally thought that the boss knew everything, but I would rather I be wrong than tell me how to do it directly, it turned out that it was for this." ”

Jia Xu said: "You are the king, I am the minister, the courtiers can provide advice and suggestions to the monarch, but they can't make decisions directly for the monarch, so don't force me, this is both for your good and for my good." ”

Cao Pi bowed to Jia Xu and said, "I already know how to make decisions, but I want to hear what the boss would do if he was in my shoes, so that I can know my shortcomings." ”

Jia Xu sighed and said, "Why are you so persistent, who dares to say that you must be right in this world?" )
