Chapter 1,100: Respecting Teachers and Paying Filial Piety
At this moment, Yi Xiaotian sent away Cao Cao and also sent away Jia Xu.
Only Xun Yu still stayed in the village, drinking and chatting with Yi Xiaotian on weekdays, and helping with some chores in the village.
Yi Xiaotian would never have thought that the young people he had high hopes for back then would now go their separate ways.
——
Sima Yi is sitting in front of Cao Pi now, perhaps planning something quite treacherous.
But in fact, it's not just Sima Yi...
"Second Young Master, don't be nervous... Fourth Young Master is in a very different situation from you. I don't seem to be very willing to participate in this battle to establish an heir - I guess you have heard about this, right?"
"Isn't this the rumor he deliberately spread?"
Sima Yi shook his head and continued to explain:
"Judging from the results, it seems to be the case, but... the Fourth Young Master who said this at that time really had the idea of withdrawing from the battle to establish an heir."
"It's just that... there is also someone on his side who is persuading him to fight for it, and if nothing else happens, there will not be only one person on the other side who will go to plan for the Fourth Young Master to establish an heir."
"As for why you are so sure——"
"Haha... After all, the other party is my very talented classmate, Yang Dezu."
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi clenched his fists tightly and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"Yang Dezu? The son of Taiwei Yang?"
"Exactly - oh, of course, all I know is that Yang Dezu chose to assist the Fourth Young Master, but as for whether there are other helpers around them, I don't know."
Sima Yi is still good at fighting fire. Unlike his relatively low-key behavior over the years, Yang Xiu actually definitely gained quite a reputation in the past two years when Yi Xiaotian was away from the north.
First he was recruited as a doctor, and later because of his seriousness and outstanding political achievements, he was recruited by Cao Cao as the chief clerk of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He helped Cao Cao with internal and external affairs, and for a time he was considered to be one of the famous people around Cao Cao.
Later, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu and Cao Ang still had a good relationship. After the successful construction of Ye Santai, a serious disagreement broke out between the three of them during a certain conversation.
And that disagreement was one of the reasons why the three of them parted ways now.
"To be honest, the eldest young master is indeed a man who respects his teachers and respects his filial piety. He will obey everything taught by his teacher without any doubt - maybe you are still confused, second young master. From just now, I have been emphasizing that the three of us are
They had a close relationship, but in the end they parted ways and each had his own thing..."
"The reason is that we did mention to the eldest son at that time that we would assist him together. If he agreed, it's not that I, Sima Yi, thought too highly of me and thought that by working together with Dezu, we could help the eldest son in the end without any surprise.
We won, but under the circumstances at that time, with the three of us working together, compared to the Second Young Master, who was unaware of you, don’t you think the eldest Young Master was actually a sure winner?"
The reason why Cui Yan kept listening to Sima Yi's words without making too many comments was that he had already listened to one side before.
And to be honest, the key to why Cui Yan was able to take the huge risk and come to Cao Pi was because of Sima Yi's frankness.
Without Sima Yi's information, Cui Yan would not be able to analyze Cao Pi's chances of winning now.
Where is Cao Pi?
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi was hesitant to believe it, but... no matter what, he could not find a reason to refute it.
It seems that it is true as Sima Yi said, when Cao Ang, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu were not separated, the three of them were inseparable.
If at that time, they were already planning to seize the direct heir, it could be said that Cao Zhi and himself had no chance of winning now.
"Hmph... These are just baseless words. I don't believe it. If such an opportunity were presented to my eldest brother, he would give up your help."
Cao Pi tried to refute Sima Yi, but Sima Yi had already expected this. He smacked his lips and explained with a smile:
"If I were in your position, Second Young Master, I wouldn't believe the First Young Master's decision."
"But the fact is this - the eldest son respects your husband very much, so he intends to obey your husband's instructions from the beginning to the end - he will not form cliques and will never take the initiative to participate in such matters. Everything will wait for the prime minister's decision."
"to this end…"
Now Sima Yi really recalled the ridiculous scene at that time.
Cao Ang was sitting in front of him and Yang Xiu at that time.
A moment ago, they were laughing and drinking, but when they heard the proposal he told Yang Xiu, Cao Ang immediately changed his face.
Sima Yi was certain that this was the first time they had seen Cao Ang look so ugly in the many years they had known him.
Perhaps because of the drunkenness, or perhaps because of his true feelings, Cao Ang pointed at his and Yang Xiu's noses and yelled, one of them being treasonous and the other extremely disappointed.
"Have you all forgotten your husband's instructions?"
"Mr. has trained us so far, is it just to let you do this kind of thing?"
"Sima Yi! Yang Xiu! You..."
At that time, Sima Yi thought that Cao Ang was acting and that he might have discovered something was wrong. He immediately began to investigate the surrounding area vigilantly——
But no matter how he looked at it, there was no fourth person in the place where they were talking.
"Zixiu, what are you talking about? We...we didn't lie to you, we just told the truth."
"Based on our current relationship, the Prime Minister will definitely be crowned Duke or even King in the future. As long as we start planning from now on, we can definitely help you become the heir apparent... Do you want to refuse this?"
"Yes, Zixiu, with the abilities of Zhongda and I, it won't be easy to help you clear the obstacles? The key is that if you start planning from now on, you won't have any opponents."
Yang Xiu was a little confused at the time and thought Cao Ang was joking.
However…
Then Cao Ang overturned the table in front of him in a rage.
Wine cups, dishes and other things were scattered on the floor, making a loud noise.
Cao Ang's eyes were red.
Finally, he pointed at the two people and said only one sentence:
"Finally, I finally see you clearly. Fortunately...it's not too late. Do you want to help me take over? Haha..."
"From today on, I, Cao Ang, will completely break off all relations with you two. It doesn't matter if you don't want to leave. Tomorrow morning, I will ask my father to send me to Yuzhou. Even if it is to serve as a captain of the Yidian Agricultural School, I will not
I’ll give you two another chance.”
After speaking, Cao Ang left without looking back, leaving only Sima Yi and Yang Xiu looking at each other.
The next day, they heard that Cao Ang was sent to the vicinity of Liangguo County in Yuzhou and actually became a Diannong school captain——
At that time, this incident caused many people to speculate that Cao Ang might have fallen out of favor?
But only Sima Yi and Yang Xiu knew that Cao Ang acted like this in order not to have any interaction with them.
