The news that Cao Pi was going to train troops in Xuchang spread like wildfire. At that time, everyone in the civil and military circles in the court knew about it, and everyone also had different attitudes towards the matter.

Of course, the pro-Cao party sang praises for Cao Pi, and the most active one among them was Gao Rou, who was in charge of Tingwei Mansion. No one knew why.

In addition, Xun Yu's party did not oppose this matter, and even rarely supported it, which made Cao Pi feel that something was wrong.

I went to the palace to ask for money, and even thought that one day I would have to face Xun Yu's accusations, but right now, there was no movement from them. What kind of trick was this?

In the school affairs office, Cao Pi has been thinking about this matter in his mind, frowning.

At this time, Cao Zhi, who looked like a scholar, walked in, holding a freshly roasted leg of lamb.

"Brother, it's time to eat. Looking at you like this, you must have something on your mind." Cao Zhi smiled. After putting down the leg of lamb, he took off a large gourd filled with wine from his waist.

Cao Pi didn't appreciate his hospitality. He glanced at him and smiled, "Why, Zijian, I have something on my mind. How did you tell that?"

"Isn't it all written on your face?"

He was scolded, but Cao Zhi didn't care. He was used to it anyway. More importantly, he knew exactly why he was worried, and that was enough.

As long as you are not happy, I will be happy!

Cao Zhi said yes, poured him a glass of wine, and brought it to him, "Brother, training soldiers is a good thing. It's not surprising that Xun Lingjun will support it. Xuchang City is also his home. There is no harm in being safer."

"oh."

With a snort, Cao Pi sneered and picked up the wine glass. "Little one, do you think you can hide your little tricks from me?" Feng Ruannuan said, "Are you here to add trouble? Let's see how I deal with you!"

Thinking of this, Cao Pi thought, "Good wine!" He put down the wine glass, and before Cao Zhi could fill it for him, Cao Pi turned the glass upside down and sealed it.

"Brother, doesn't this wine suit your taste?" Cao Zhi was surprised.

"It's to your liking, but I'm at the Yamen Gate and don't want to drink too much." Cao Pi pushed back and continued on with the topic, "Zijian, actually, if you don't come over today, I'm going to look for you too."

"What are your orders, brother?"

Seeing the smile on his face, Cao Pi felt indifferent, "Military training is not a trivial matter. I will personally take charge of it. As a result, there will inevitably be some things that the school affairs office cannot take care of. Can you help me take care of it?"

Cao Zhi was very surprised by what he said. When would this power-obsessed man be willing to let go and release his power? No! There must be something wrong here.

With a roll of his eyes, Cao Zhi gave an answer that was not an answer, "Brother, look at what you said, I'm already working in the school affairs office, it's just my duty."

"Duty?"

Cao Pi shook his finger and smiled strangely, "It's just my duty, why should I tell you alone? Zijian, what I mean is that during my military training period, all affairs and personnel in the school affairs will be dispatched by you, how about that?"

Damn it, this is no joke!

After he said this, Cao Zhi became more suspicious. He squinted at him and was unable to speak for a long time.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Seeing that he remained silent, Cao Pi pretended to be displeased, "If it doesn't work, just say it. Why do you hesitate as a man? If it doesn't work... I'd better go find Ziwen."

"Don't!"

All of a sudden, Cao Zhi couldn't sit still. He knew very well that one of the important reasons why his father did not arrange for Cao Zhang to take a temporary post in the school affairs office was that he had a violent personality. If Cao Pi was standing in front of him,

A mountain, then Cao Zhang is definitely a knife, a knife that can stab himself at any time.

"oh?"

His panic made Cao Pi smile slightly, "Zijian, you seem to be in a hurry?"

"The eldest brother is not worried while the younger brother is in a hurry. It's just that the second brother is busy with military affairs. It's not good to bother him with this kind of thing. What's more, he doesn't have a token from the school affairs office, so his name is not legitimate."

As Cao Zhi spoke, he stood up and bowed his hands to Cao Pi solemnly, "Brother, thank you for trusting me, little brother."

"now it's right!"

When Cao Pi saw his promise, he smiled and waved for him to sit down and share the leg of lamb with him, but Cao Zhi didn't know yet what kind of situation he would face in the future...

…

the other side.

Since Xun Yu reached an agreement with Liu Xie, he locked himself in his house and refused to go out for three days in a row. He was thinking about how to express his stance to Cao Pi.

Even though their previous plan was well designed, when it came time to implement it, it was definitely extremely difficult.

Cao Pi's personality is closest to that of his father, so how can he easily trust others? Although the Chancellor has power, forcibly intervening will only be counterproductive.

In the study, Xun Yu was still frowning. He had already thought of dozens of entry points, but none of them were perfect. At this moment, suddenly, a boy came to report outside the door, "Master, there is Zhong Yao outside the door."

Sir, please see me."

"kindness?"

Xun Yu, who was sitting on the floor with his head in his hands, immediately became energetic when he heard the name, "Please come quickly!"

Zhong Yao was a capable man of both literary and military skills, and he had high opinions on both national policy and strategy. Like Guo Fengxiao, he was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu. It can be said that he was Xun Yu's student.

After a while, the boy led Zhong Yao to the study door and said, "Sir, Master Zhong is here."

Xun Yu stood up and opened the door in person, and greeted him warmly as soon as they met, "Yuan Chang, come quickly and sit inside! You go and arrange some food and drinks. I want to have a good drink with Yuan Chang."

The boy obeyed the order and left. Zhong Yao, who had been silent until there was no more six ears, stood up and greeted him, "Yuan Chang has met with your Majesty."

"Why are you so polite?"

Xun Yu shook his head and chuckled, seemingly helpless, "How about it, I've been bored at home these days, is there any news in the court?"

Xun Yu was sure that Zhong Yao's visit today would not be as simple as visiting him, so he got to the point first.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Zhong Yao became solemn and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, I have just come back. I don't know about the affairs of the court yet, but I see that the school affairs office has made a lot of changes recently, and Cao Zhang's guards

The army is also mobilizing, could this be a big incident?"

When Xun Yu heard this, his eyes were startled. He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, "Nothing. A few days ago, the eldest son said that he wanted to train the generals of the school affairs office. The third son must have mobilized troops to increase the garrison in Xuchang."

"I see."

Zhong Yao nodded, but his expression did not soften at all, "Your Majesty, do you agree with this matter by Your Majesty and the Chancellor?"

"yes."

Stroking his long beard, Xun Yu's eyes jumped, and he blamed himself in his heart. He had calculated everything, but he ignored the existence of Cao Zhang. Cao Pi wanted to pull out the school affairs office, how could Cao Zhang not send troops to garrison, and the tigers were out of the mountains and the wolves were coming?

Drilling... I hope this brute won't cause any trouble.
