Chapter 1088: Those who disturb my heart are not here
As expected, after Cao Pi revealed the news of the absence of Cai's father and daughter, many people were preparing to leave.
Of course... there are also many people who came all the way to participate in the cultural gathering in Ye Santai because they were disappointed. How could they just leave?
The cultural meeting was held smoothly in such a tepid atmosphere.
However…
Wang Can was away on official business, and Chen Lin was also busy in the Prime Minister's Palace. Without such heavyweight guests as Cai Yong and Cai Zhaoji, Cao Pi, the talker, also became silent.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cao Pi seemed to have something on his mind, and many people's thoughts were led astray by Cao Pi's worried look. The sound of Ruan Yu's piano in various pavilions was lingering, and the sound of people drinking and drinking was also continuous, but gradually they all
Some gossip began to spread slowly.
"Hey, have you heard about it... Some people say that the Prime Minister will establish a new line and choose a successor soon... The Second Young Master seems to have a good chance."
"That's not true... Although the eldest son of the prime minister's family has won the trust and love of the people around him, in the final analysis, he is just a commoner. I didn't realize that in these years, the eldest son was often away from home and was not allowed to be transferred. He also had no military achievements and no military achievements.
Gong... next to the Prime Minister, who else can compare with the Second Young Master in literary skills?"
"I don't think so. You see how depressed the second young master is. I heard that he has been going to Youjian Villa to visit Mr. Cai these days... But you all know very well that I won't say who else is there in Youjian Villa... There is no such thing
No matter who you are, no matter who you are, you are feeling uneasy."
At the mention of Youjian Villa, everyone glanced at Cao Pi at the table, as if they felt someone was looking at him. Cao Pi wanted to drink, but the cup stopped in mid-air.
Seeing that Cao Pi seemed to be aware of it, everyone quickly looked away, but...Cao Pi still became more and more irritable because of the constant murmurs in the audience.
"The person who disturbs my heart is not here...ah..."
Cao Pi held up a wine cup, but he had long since lost the mood to drink. Even though the court had already begun to make elegant arrangements, someone held a wine cup and took advantage of the wine mood to invite Cao Pi.
Yuanyuan was frightened, and before Cao Pi could say anything, he slipped away quietly.
"I can't blame the second young master for being so depressed...Have you ever heard of...the relationship between the eldest young master and the man at Youjian Villa back then?"
"Oh...are you talking about...what happened in Wancheng? I heard that the young master saved an eldest son, and made the eldest son treat him respectfully from then on - I heard that the prime minister has been there for a long time.
The commitment is just because we consider this relationship."
"In other words...that person actually supports the eldest young master?"
"Alas! You can't say this nonsense - the person who spreads the rumor will be punished if the Prime Minister hears it."
boom!
Somehow, perhaps because he was really annoyed by these guys who had no intention of holding down their voices for discussion, Cao Pi dropped the wine cup in his hand to the ground when the atmosphere was still quite intense.
Everyone was shocked, of course... Ruan Yu was still playing the piano, and seemed to have noticed what was going on here. He slowed down the sound of the piano again and again... in an attempt to calm Cao Pi's heart a little in this way.
It's just...
Cao Pi just glanced at everyone present indifferently, and then walked out of the palace without any hesitation under everyone's gaze.
The sergeants waiting at the scene seemed unable to recover from such shock for a long time.
——
In the end, in early August, this midsummer cultural gathering, which had high hopes, ended unhappy.
It's a trivial matter for the scholars to lose their interest, but for the scholars of this era, the rich ones are fine, but the poor ones often live an uncertain life. Likewise, their mouths are the same as their lives, and they can't do anything.
Can't hold it in my pocket.
After all...the knowledge they have traveled far and wide is their only remaining pride.
Naturally, the rumors that spread throughout the cultural conference began to spread in Yecheng and even Jizhou and other places.
According to rumors, Cao Ang is portrayed as the biggest enemy of the second son Cao Pi. Similarly, Cao Cao's other sons who are still hanging out in the Prime Minister's Mansion seem to have been incorporated by some people with ill intentions.
Among them, the fourth son Cao Zhi, the fifth son Cao Xiong and the youngest son Cao Chong were the most disturbed.
Cao Zhi actually told people around him more than once that he had no intention of seizing the throne.
He respected his brothers Cao Ang and Cao Zhang very much. Not only did he have no intention of establishing an heir, but he actually had great plans for the position where Cao Pi was sitting.
Of course... after he said it, many people suspected that someone was giving him advice behind his back to reduce the hostility of other young masters. Who knows what he himself was thinking?
Cao Xiong suffered a more or less unreasonable disaster.
The same thing happened to Cao Chong, the youngest son whom Cao Cao loved very much. These two young masters had been weak and sick since they were young. Fortunately, Yi Xiaotian went through several twists and turns and hired two miracle doctors, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, who stayed in Yuzhou.
A few years ago, Cao Cao took Cao Xiong and Cao Chong to the medical clinic when he had nothing to do.
Now that many years have passed, these two people are no longer in harm's way, but they are immediately involved in the struggle for heir creation.
In this regard, the two people seemed to have reached a consensus in private. One day when Cao Cao was discussing matters, they declared in front of everyone that they had no intention of getting involved in the dispute over the establishment of an heir. As a result, they stood at the forefront regardless of their martial arts.
Cao Cao was very embarrassed everywhere.
Yes...it is clear that neither Cao Cao nor the ministers around Cao Cao have ever spoken about the issue of establishing an heir, but Yecheng has been enveloped by a dark cloud that the young masters of the Cao family are about to kill each other.
This really gave Cao Cao a headache.
——
Finally, after even Zhang Liao stationed in Hefei, the Xiahou family generals in Taiyuan, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong in Xiangyang wrote letters overnight asking Cao Cao in Yecheng if he had any plans to have an heir, Cao Cao finally couldn't stand it any longer.
"Prime Minister...before you attack Jiangdong, don't you have to sort out things at home first?"
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao, who was holding the case on his forehead, and asked without leaving any trace. This sentence made Cao Cao snap and throw all the pile of letters in his hand on the table.
"Zhongde, why are you asking such boring things? Do you think the truth will pass away soon?"
"No, no, no... the Prime Minister has misunderstood. I just... um... inquired on behalf of interested colleagues - I am wholeheartedly loyal to you, the Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao knew as soon as he heard that Cheng Yu was telling lies. Isn't he still aware of the gossip in Yecheng these days?
As his subordinate, Cao Cao did not believe that no one cared about this matter... But the problem was that over the years, he had indeed thought about establishing an heir more than once. The reason why he had not made up his mind was because...
He really didn't want to stir up this muddy water - because he had no plans to retreat at all. These gossips didn't see that he practiced Wuqinxi diligently every morning and followed the advice of the two miracle doctors to keep in good health.
