After receiving a definite answer, Sima Yi smiled twice. As expected, he was not determined to splash blood on the emperor's uniform. It was better not to get involved in this matter.
"You just stay here with me for a while now." Zhong Yao said to Sima Yi, "But as you know, I made this choice, which means that I am destined to be a marginal figure on Cao Sikong's side in the future.
, although you have responsibilities and Boda is in front of you, it is not enough."
"It's nothing. I didn't work directly with Cao Sikong, so it's nothing." Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I've been bothering you recently."
"Except for the books and the stickers, you can read all the other classics in the study. Your brother came here specifically to say hello to me before." Seeing that Sima Yi didn't take this matter to heart, Zhong Yao pointed out without saying anything.
He pointed to the study room and said.
Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "How much did my brother spend to make you like this?"
"The many calligraphy I'm looking at were all given to me by your brother." Zhong Yao began to study Cai Yong's calligraphy again, "So you can copy them from any classics you like."
Sima Yi's brows jumped wildly. Everyone in Chang'an knew that Zhong Yao was a fan of Cai Yong. He was so stupid that he would do anything to lower the limit for Cai Yong's letters.
Of course, this was because Sima Yi didn't know that Zhong Yao would later see the entire calligraphy of Cai Bozhe in the hands of his friend. He broke up his family to exchange for his friend and refused to exchange it. He was so angry that he vomited blood. In the end, they broke off the relationship, and even more cruelly, he died.
After that former friend, he did not hesitate to dig his grave to get that thing.
If Sima Yi knew these things, he would definitely be far, far away from Zhong Yao. He can't afford to be offended by idiot fans. Fans who are fanatical, but have executive abilities and powerful abilities can be very scary. You can tell just by looking at Zhong Yao.
What's the lower limit? Nothing can stop him except death!
Looking at Zhong Yao who had entered a feverish mode and started to study again, Sima Yi turned his head silently. To be honest, he felt that Zhong Yao was not simple. He didn't focus on government affairs and spent 80% of his time studying Cai Yong's calligraphy every day.
, he was still able to secure his position as minister.
After Sima Yi finally conveyed a wave of news to Cao Ang, he said that he might be exposed, so he didn't show up much recently. Cao Ang didn't take it seriously. His cousin Xia Houshang had already made a plan, so there was no need to worry about Sima Yi or anything else.
It looks awesome, but how could anyone in my family use it so well?
"Bo Ren, let me tell you something simple. First of all, everything that may happen next has nothing to do with the emperor. Can you do this?" Cao Ang sent Cao Pi to play with a group of kids from aristocratic families, and then sent Cao Zhi to
Leaving it to the great Confucians to learn poetry and poetry, I finally had some time to educate my cousins.
"It's very simple, brother, you can rest assured." Xiahou Shang said arrogantly, "These are the turmoil caused by some rebellious parties plotting to murder the emperor. I have already arranged people to be among the emperor's southern army. When the soldier talisman arrives,
That's the truth."
"Can you please stop making so much noise?" Cao Ang said with a headache. His brother was a bit unreliable. He was smart, but with this kind of excitement, Cao Ang always had the feeling that this guy would mess things up.
Suspect.
"If you don't make it so big, how can it be a substantive rebellion?"
."
"Some things, if you do them openly and without any personal intentions, will actually have miraculous effects. After all, if Dong Cheng and others want to defeat us, they must strike first." Xiahou Shang stared at Cao Ang and said, "The news from Zhongda has already been
It explains a lot of problems.”
"But in that case, if you are not careful, Chang'an may be in chaos." Cao Ang said with a wry smile, "Dong Cheng and others can gather a lot of people, and when it reaches that point, there will definitely be some leaders."
"That's why I said that we can come here in an upright manner. The Emperor's Southern Army is ours. When the time comes, we only need to withstand Dong Cheng and others and use military symbols to order the Emperor's Southern Army to quell the chaos. Who is the rebel at that time?
You can tell at a glance." Xia Houshang said confidently.
"Brother, don't you understand? This is the best time for Dong Cheng and others, and similarly, this is also a test for you by your uncle." Xiahou Shang saw that Cao Ang was still worried about the destruction of the army in Chang'an.
Li, he immediately spoke.
Cao Ang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He had also suspected that this was a test from his father, but he had thought a lot about it. If it was a test, his father would not have to bring all the warriors and wise men.
Walk.
It is said that a son is better than his father, but the other way around would not be too wrong. Cao Ang actually vaguely understood what his father meant, which was also an important reason why he ordered that the emperor must be protected.
[Speaking of tests, I'm afraid this is not my test, but I should be the emperor's test. My father probably wants to see how far the emperor can do it, but my father has already gone to the north, so if the emperor passes,
How to guarantee the Cao family and the Xiahou family?】
Cao Ang lowered his head and thought silently. He did not believe that his father would place the lives of hundreds of people in the family on the mercy of Dong Cheng and others. It seemed that Cao Cao had tens of thousands of troops outside, but what if the emperor pretended to be ignorant?
Woolen cloth?
If the Cao family is suppressed internally, Liu Bei is contacted externally, and all Cao Cao's power is swallowed up in one go, wouldn't it be more stable? Chang'an cuts off Cao Cao's transportation lines and sends a message to Liu Bei from the front. Even if Cao Ang has confidence in his father,
I don’t believe that under those conditions, Cao Cao could escape unscathed.
[Then who will be the guarantee? Wen's side has guessed, so who will Wu's side be?] Cao Ang thought with a headache, but soon he gave up. He still has quite a lot of experience with the top wise men.
The gap, Xun Yu's arrangement, is not so easy to expose.
"Brother, are you still hesitating?" Xia Houshang said with a frown. To be honest, his cousin, who he always admired very much, was so hesitant at this moment, which really made him very dissatisfied.
"It's not hesitation. In fact, overall, it's nothing more than whether Dong Cheng and others will attack us." Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Actually, Boren, have you ever thought about what the emperor's most correct approach is? You know
?”
"Isn't it possible to capture us and then blackmail uncle?" Xiahou Shang said without thinking. In his opinion, this is the most direct and effective way.
"Sure enough, although you are suitable, there is still a gap between you and Sima Zhongda." Cao Ang shook his head and said. Seeing Xiahou Shang's slight anger after hearing this, Cao Ang said, "Sima Zhongda told me that the most important thing the emperor should do now is
It’s actually a cruise.”
"Parade?" Xiahou Shang was shocked, and then suddenly realized, "Sima Zhongda didn't tell the emperor about this, did he?"
"No." Cao Ang shook his head, "He is one of ours, but he has sneaked into the emperor's side, and he told me that if the emperor chooses to cruise during the harvest this year, he will gain a very big advantage.
, and there will be countless people among middle and low-level officials and ordinary people who support the emperor."
"The so-called good weather is the merit of the emperor." Cao Ang shook his head and repeated to Xiahou Shang what Sima Yi had said to him before.
"..." Xiahou Shang was silent for a while. His initial shock couldn't help but fade away. He swept away his previous frivolity and looked at Cao Ang and said, "Brother, let's do something taboo for the emperor!"
"We forced them to take action first, and then imprisoned them... The emperor, Sima Zhongda's so-called inspection is no longer just to inspect the Xia, but more to inspect the ministers. Uncle is not here. Once the emperor truly has power, he is now subdued by us.
All the ministers will probably fall to the wind!" Xia Houshang said directly with a sudden change of heart.
"Is this a taboo?" Cao Ang pressed his temple, "First strengthen the manpower in the inner city, so that the previous incident cannot happen again. However, if the emperor wants to go out, it is really difficult to stop him."
"The emperor has not moved for so long, and I am afraid he has not noticed this aspect. Let us first make the court ours, and tomorrow we will find someone to impeach Dong Cheng for occupying the acres cultivated by the people of Chang'an." Xiahou Shang had completely recovered by this time.
The state is no longer contemptuous.
"This is completely useless, Dong Cheng is the emperor..." Cao Ang understood halfway through.
"That's it. If the resolution of this court meeting is spread throughout Chang'an, the people will probably be happy to hear these things. We will solve it for them at the cost of offending the father of the country."
I can play with it as I please."
"In addition to this, we can also find a group of people to impeach us in various ways. We will only impeach those who occupy a lot of land and do bad things. We will also impeach the other people. By the way, I will find some materials for people to impeach us." Xia Houshang is serious when he is serious.
As a person who is very talented and practical, he will soon have all kinds of ideas.
"You can arrange the manpower, but we don't push them too hard. Try not to do anything if you can, and try to delay it until the news of my father's return to Chang'an is confirmed." Cao Ang thought for a while and said to Xiahou Shang.
Cao Ang is not an indecisive person. After making up his mind, he will not hesitate at all. But how can I put it, sometimes the opponent's IQ falls below the bottom line or the opponent's IQ soars above the upper line, which means that your plan is completely lost.
Effect.
Just when Cao Ang made up his mind, Cao Cao had also received an urgent letter from Liu Bei. However, Cao Cao's situation was similar to Liu Bei's. The two of them led mostly elite infantry and moved forward steadily in the rear.
Therefore, after receiving the news from Liu Bei, Cao Cao, thinking that he was still a friendly force now and was likely to become a long-term friendly force in the future, summoned the civil and military ministers for a discussion, and then sent 5,000 troops to march on a rapid march under the leadership of Xiahou Dun.
Head to the north.
"What did you think of Liu Xuande? Isn't that nonsense? I'm further away from Shanggu than he is. How could I catch up and save Chen Zichuan?" Cao Cao said to Xun Yu. As he spoke, Cao Cao couldn't help but make some malicious speculations about Liu Bei.
He asked Xun Yu sympathetically, "Do you think Liu Xuande wants to attack Chen Zichuan?"
Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao speechlessly. Since the showdown between Cao Cao and Xun Yu, he has completely turned Xun Yu into his most caring confidant. In short, whether he can say it or not, whether he has any complaints or not, let Xun Yu go over it first. It will take a little time.
After a while, Xun Yu suddenly felt that Cao Cao was quite boring.
"Lord, this matter is absolutely impossible." Xun Yu said helplessly, "If I don't inform you, it is still possible. But if I inform you, it can only be said that Liu Xuande is already concerned and it will be chaotic."
"Then do you think Chen Zichuan has some plans for his actions this time?" Cao Cao nodded. He was indeed talking nonsense. Seeing that Xun Yu was still acting like a gentleman, he became serious and looked solemn.
asked.
"No matter how bad the situation is, it can't be as bad as Liu Xuande thought. Chen Zichuan doesn't like to take risks, and his habit is to play it safe and steady. Although this time it goes against his previous habit, it cannot be like this if he is not sure." Xun Yu shook his head.
He shook his head and said, his face still calm.
"That's right. One step counts as three steps. How can a person who has enough energy to observe and control himself put himself in danger? But it is said that with Liu Xuande's personality, it is impossible to lie in this regard." Cao Cao thought for a while and felt that Xun
What Yu said is very reasonable.
"Among the existing princes in the world, besides us, Sun Bofu is also going north. I think Chen Zichuan is also very curious about Zhou Gongjin. After all, they are about the same age, and both of them rose up in the world within a few years. I think Chen Zichuan is also very curious about Zhou Gongjin.
Not only is Chen Zichuan interested in Zhou Gongjin, but Zhou Gongjin can't get rid of his curiosity." Xun Yu said calmly.
"The younger generation in this era is indeed very outstanding, especially those under Liu Xuande, Guo Fengxiao, Fa Xiaozhi, Xu Yuanzhi, and Chen Zichuan. They are all young talents." Cao Cao said with emotion, and he couldn't help but feel some crisis in his heart.
"More than just excellence." Xun Yu said with a hint of worry. He had always felt that his family was already a trap, but after he came out to work, he realized that the world is really vast, and there are really countless outstanding people.
"Hahaha, this is so interesting." Cao Cao laughed, and then looked south habitually, his eyes seemed to have passed through the camp and saw Chang'an.
"Yes, I'm afraid I won't be able to determine my position without a fight." Xun Yu said sadly, "Chang'an, we will see the result after this time."
"I hope the emperor will choose the most correct way." Cao Cao said slowly, "This time Liu Xuande and I can see each other again. It has been several years since we parted ways in Hulao. I think with his courage, he is really brave.
Have the courage to lead more than 10,000 troops to come to Chang'an to have an audience."
"Yes, if there is not much conflict between my lord and Liu Xuande this time, I think Liu Xuande's most likely request is to go to Chang'an to meet the saint." Xun Yu sighed and said, "If possible, with his current situation
With the courage he has shown, if he could solve the world's problems in other ways, he probably wouldn't use weapons."
"I think so too, but just because he doesn't want to move, it doesn't mean that some of the people below won't move, so we also need to make certain preparations. I, Cao Mengde, can talk if we can agree on it. If we can't agree on it, we won't.
I will use my blood to pave the way for others." Cao Cao said with great solemnity.
