Chapter 1,094: Proclaimed public? Is that enough?
Seeing everyone laughing out loud, Cao Cao was a little puzzled, so he quickly asked:
"You...why are you laughing? You must ask questions about this kind of thing, right? If...if the prime minister is informed of this matter, without explanation, and just gives him 30% of the say, he will definitely not be happy."
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Yi Xiaotian smiled helplessly and said:
"It's rare for me to be confused, but... I think that if the Prime Minister hears my suggestion, he will definitely understand my intention."
"Well... you are right, right? Just in case, I will explain it a little bit. Please tell me what I said to the Prime Minister later."
Ha ha ha ha…
As a result... Jia Xu and Xun Yu laughed even happier.
It was obvious that Jia Xu and Xun Yu were not thinking about the same thing as Yi Xiaotian at all. Although they generally understood Yi Xiaotian's intentions, the reason why they laughed was of course because of the effect brought by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao blushed and seemed to be a little choked, because...because Yi Xiaotian said that if it was Cao Cao, he would definitely understand his intentions——
All I can say is... Fortunately, Yi Xiaotian doesn't know his identity yet.
Otherwise, if I fall into a coma every now and then, Yi Xiaotian will really make a joke out of him.
"Um...oh...Brother Yi, tell me...I...I think the Prime Minister will definitely understand your intention, but just in case..."
Cao Cao defended himself by saying that he didn't know that he was so smart in Yi Xiaotian's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Yi Xiaotian didn't seem to notice Cao Cao's restraint. He just paused and continued to explain his thoughts:
"Actually... you should be the one who knows the reason best, but it seems that you have been busy with many things recently. It seems that you have forgotten that there is another big thing that Cao Cao still hasn't taken care of."
"event?"
"It's a big deal. Before that, if Cao Cao wants to choose his successor, he can of course do it according to his own preferences. Even if he decides to make a clean break now and declare his chosen successor, there is no problem in settling these unwarranted arguments.
.”
"But I think... the reason why Cao Cao hasn't made up his mind yet, and... he should be waiting to hide your opinion from me - is because..."
Next, Yi Xiaotian said a simple sentence, which only made Cao Cao stunned.
After a while, he regained his clarity and sighed slowly, seeming to be somewhat relieved.
Looking at Yi Xiaotian's calm expression, Cao Cao asked carefully:
"Brother Yi... do you also think it's time for Cao Cao to be crowned king?"
"Do you have any...opinions?"
Cao Cao was too careful because... when he met Yi Xiaotian in the early years, Cao Cao vaguely realized that Yi Xiaotian was not as free and easy as he appeared on the surface - he had a set of justice that he insisted on in his heart.
And over the years, the reason why Cao Cao did not rely entirely on Yi Xiaotian was because he was afraid that he would inadvertently... or that he would touch Yi Xiaotian's taboo when he had to pass a certain point.
Likewise... when talking about this, Jia Xu and Xun Yu stopped talking.
Especially Xun Yu, Cao Cao obviously frowned when he saw Xun Yu, but he soon relaxed.
Regarding this matter... In fact, he and Xun Yu had a conflict a long time ago, but... I heard that Xun Yu had already found a way out for himself. When that day comes, I am afraid that Xun Yu will really bid farewell to Cao Cao.
Now that I think about it, it is no surprise that Xun Yu’s retreat was Youjian Villa. After all, over the years, Cao Cao had been able to see Xun Lingjun only when he was working on weekdays. In his spare time, whenever he inquired, he could only find Xun Lingjun at Youjian Villa.
news.
"Calling the public?"
Yi Xiaotian picked up the tea that had already cooled down and drank it without any worries. It seemed that he no longer cared so much about the taste of the tea:
"Calling the public...not enough?"
When Yi Xiaotian said this, everyone present was shocked.
"Hehehe... Don't be nervous, everyone. Cao Cao is not here. It doesn't hurt for us to talk about these things."
"Since you want to know my opinion, I won't shy away from anything. I..."
Yi Xiaotian paused, which made everyone extremely nervous.
I saw his lips slowly opening and closing, and finally spit out a few clear words:
"I support it."
"Besides... it is not enough to be crowned Duke. In my opinion, people like Dong Zhao and Ding Yi are already thinking about how to submit a joint letter to ask the emperor to grant Cao Cao the title of Duke."
"This matter will only come sooner rather than later. Perhaps within these two months, or at the latest before I leave for Jiangdong, this matter will be settled."
"Everything is as it was before Red Cliff - this is the best time. There is no one in the world who is more suitable to claim the title of king than Cao Cao."
"If Jiangdong and his party go well, they don't even have to rush to move the army to take over Jiangdong. They only need to ask Sun Quan and others to surrender to Cao Cao. Taking this opportunity, Cao Cao can further directly declare himself king."
"And what we are discussing now is about the succession of a prince's son - Master, tell me... the prince who wins in the future will inherit Cao Cao's throne, and as a king, he has to govern a country -
Is the opinion of Cao Cao alone comparable to the opinions of all the officials in an entire feudal kingdom?"
"That's what I'm saying... If Cao Cao doesn't call himself a duke or a king, but just sticks to his position as prime minister, works hard for the great man, and learns to do what the Duke of Zhou does - of course I admire his courage."
"But equally, if this is the case, even if he chooses a very mediocre, but very fond son to inherit his family business, there will be no problem - because after all, what his son inherits
It's just the family power that he can control as the patriarch of the Cao family."
"But the problem is that Cao Cao cannot be limited to the position of prime minister - don't you know where the emperor is now?"
Yi Xiaotian glanced at Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was silent for a long time and finally sighed.
How could he not know where the emperor had gone, just as how could he not know what his own thoughts were.
The emperor returned to Youjian Villa, and now the person sitting in the court is just a puppet - Cao Cao moved his prime minister's palace to Yecheng, and sent people to constantly monitor the eastward movement of the emperor's old ministers in Xudu.
He built the Bronze Bird Tower in Yecheng to attract literati from all over the world. His prime minister's palace was located inside Yuan Shao's previous luxurious palace, and all he did... had only one purpose:
"That's right...I am indeed confused."
"That's true...the current dispute over heirship is not a problem for the Cao family at all."
"Then...Brother Yi's suggestion is indeed the best way at the moment."
"As for the Prime Minister's right to speak, I will definitely find time to talk to him about it. Please rest assured, Brother Yi."
Cao Cao said calmly, without the slightest embarrassment he had before - his mentality changed at this moment, because before he knew Yi Xiaotian's opinion, he had always been hesitant.
But...Yi Xiaotian personally said words of support for him.
