Chapter 76 Unwilling Cao Pi, Poor Sima Yi
Although Cao Cao said this, there was not a trace of regret in his heart. The in-laws he wanted most was Wei Zhongdao, but for some reason, although Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan had been married for a long time, they still did not have a son and a half. Cai Yan also thought about it many times.
Zhang Luo was asked to take concubines for Wei Zhongdao, but Wei Zhongdao rejected them all. He still devoted himself to Cai Yan and had the same color in his life. He envied many women.
It was precisely because Wei Zhongdao had no heirs and was suspicious by nature that Cao Cao trusted him and did not suspect that Wei Zhongdao had any different intentions.
Sure enough, as the news spread that Cao Cao proposed to marry Lu Bu's daughter for Cao Ang, the government and the public were shocked. No one expected that Cao Cao would actually propose to marry Lu Bu's daughter for his most valued eldest son, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Lu Bu was also surprised when he saw Cao Cao coming to ask for his hand in marriage. He immediately guessed what Cao Cao was thinking. He was trying to win over him. He was originally unwilling to let his daughter get involved in politics. But now he has long since realized that he has seen through wealth and fame.
A true ascetic, but with Cao Cao's repeated visits and great sincerity, he was still a little shaken. Later, he met Cao Ang again and saw that he was a talented person with a dignified appearance and a kind and kind personality. He was indeed a good home.
So he agreed to the marriage.
Cao Cao and Lu Bu became in-laws. As soon as the news came out, people immediately joined Cao Ang's family. It was Lu Bu's old subordinates, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and even Xia Houyuan heard that Cao Ang's idea to marry Lu Bu's daughter was suggested by Wei Zhongdao.
, also expressed his optimism for Cao Ang in public. Suddenly, Cao Ang's status was as stable as Mount Tai, making everyone understand that Cao Ang's situation was achieved.
Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi opposite him. For some reason, he always felt that Sima Yi had changed during this period and was no longer as dedicated to him as before.
"Brother's strength has greatly increased now. If I don't stop it, I will really have no hope at all. I wonder if you, sir, have any countermeasures that can help me deal with the situation in front of me!"
Sima Yi's expression was languid, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his whole body was lazily, and he was a little unmotivated. He raised his eyelids, glanced at the anxious Cao Pi, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He was now a clay Buddha crossing the river, and he could not save himself in one fell swoop.
Cao Cao and Wei Zhongdao watched every move they made, so they dared not act rashly.
"Second Young Master, I am also helpless. The Eldest Young Master has become a success. It's not that he asked to marry Lu Bu's daughter and got the support of Zhang Liao and others, nor does it depend on Xia Houyuan's approval. It's that Sikong wants the Eldest Young Master to be his successor.
, both the government and the opposition agree with this, so that’s why we have the current situation!”
Sima Yi finally saw it clearly now. Cao Cao identified Cao Ang as his successor from the beginning. Wei Zhongdao and other civil and military officials all agreed with this, so Cao Pi had lost a long time ago. It was not that he was not as intelligent as Cao Ang, nor that he was not good enough.
But he lost because of his age. Cao Ang was the eldest son and the only son of Cao Cao who received the crown ceremony. Cao Cao was now nearly fifty years old and did not have so much energy to cultivate a new heir.
Cao Pi's eyes showed deep reluctance. He clenched his teeth and made a squeaking sound. He held his hands tightly, and his nails had sunk into his palms. A trace of bright red flowed out of his palms and dripped on the ground. He stood up suddenly and kicked him.
He turned over the eucalyptus table in front of him and roared loudly, venting the anger and resentment in his heart.
"Why, why, just because he is a few years older than me, I have to succumb to him for the rest of my life. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Cao Pi looked like he was crazy, venting crazily, smashing everything he could see in front of him, leaving everything in pieces, and the ground was in a mess. Finally, he collapsed on the ground helplessly, whimpering sounded, and his head was buried deep.
In front of his chest, his body was trembling slightly.
Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi's performance calmly, with a hint of unwillingness deep in his eyes, but what could he do if he was unwilling? He could only endure it!
Cao Cao sat behind the eucalyptus table, listened to the secret guard's report, nodded slightly, waved his hand, and disappeared.
Cao Cao tapped his fingers on the eucalyptus table in front of him very rhythmically, with deep thought in his eyes. After a long time, he nodded invisibly and chuckled.
"You know your taste, so I can tolerate you!"
There was a cold look on Cao Cao's face. Ever since he saw Sima Yi, he had the intention to kill him. It was not because he was worried about the Sima family's reputation, so he had long ago found an excuse to kill him. But now Sima Yi knew how to hide his clumsiness, so he didn't want to kill him.
If he dared to stir up trouble again, he was not in a hurry to kill him. After all, Sima Yi was also a talented person who could be put to good use.
In Taichang Mansion, although Wei Zhongdao had no secret guards to call upon, his mental power was extremely strong and he had already locked onto Sima Yi's mental fluctuations. As long as Sima Yi was still in Xudu, he would not be able to escape his surveillance.
"He is worthy of being called Tsukatora in the future. He is really forbearing. No wonder he was able to survive everyone and became the final winner!"
"It's a pity that the unwilling fire in your heart can be hidden from others, but not from me. I hope you can really be honest, otherwise the world will lose another talent!"
Wei Zhongdao sighed. He followed Cao Cao in his campaigns in the north and south, and had seen too many talents fall. Chen Gong, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, etc. were all top counselors who had awakened their spiritual talents. If Sima Yi was honest, he would
Nor was he willing to take action against him.
In line with the idea of rationally utilizing talents, Wei Zhongdao casually threw Sima Yi into the army and became an army counselor. He gave advice to the generals and went to attack Qingzhou and Youzhou. This could be considered as a contribution to Cao Cao's achievement of the unification of the north.
Liu Biao in Jingzhou was seriously ill and faced a transfer of power. Cai Mao and others supported Liu Cong, and Liu Qi was naturally ostracized. Even Liu Bei, who supported Liu Qi, was ostracized by the civil and military family in Jingzhou and could only stay in Xinye City.
Liu Bei got Xu Shu's recommendation that day and went to Wollongong. He visited the thatched cottage three times and visited Wolong Zhuge Liang.
Like chicken blood, they gathered around Zhuge Liang and licked them all over.
Zhuge Liang is indeed an all-rounder, and his awakened spiritual talent is perverted enough to make him a perfect man. As the saying goes, no one is perfect, but with the blessing of this spiritual talent, Zhuge Liang can do everything.
If you are proficient, one person can work as a small team. Whether it is internal affairs, water conservancy, farming, or military affairs, everything must be done personally, and one person can do all the work.
Liu Bei really saw the treasure now. Zhuge Liang was like an old cow, tireless and working hard all day long. He managed Xinye City in full swing and his strength increased greatly, making Liu Bei like a little fanboy who surrounded Zhuge Liang all day long.
