"The Second Young Master has no problem. Whether he is pretending or not is up to you to judge. At least for me, no matter whether he guesses our intention or not, he has passed the test."
Xun Yu quickly described Cao Pi's performance in the past few days. Even if the test was simply extended as Cao Cao said, there was no flaw in Cao Pi's performance.
Even in comparison, Cao Pi's behavior seems more natural. Cao Ang's one-size-fits-all behavior obviously makes people feel a kind of escape.
Of course, Yi Xiaocai is the one who understands Cao Ang's character best, at least he feels that Cao Ang has thoroughly shown his truest self.
But due to emotions and reasons, according to Xun Yu's description, Jia Xu and Cao Cao were still satisfied with Cao Pi's performance.
"If the Second Young Master discovered our intention and persisted for three days, we can only say that he is tolerant enough. This is definitely an excellent quality of an heir. As for if this is his nature - haha,
I actually don’t quite believe it.”
Jia Xu said with a smile, how could an old man like him not guess what Cao Pi was thinking?
Sometimes in such unexpected situations, the more natural you act, the more suspicious you become.
But Jia Xu doesn't care much about whether a person is hypocritical. If the person who is going to sit in Cao Cao's position is someone who doesn't even have a city government, it's hard to imagine how their future will develop under the leadership of this person.
so…
As the person with the least pressure on the court, Jia Xu has already given his own answer.
Cao Cao quite agreed with Jia Xu's words. Although he didn't know much about Cao Pi, some of his performances in the past two years also made Cao Cao feel the unique temperament of his son. To say something similar - he actually thought
Cao Pi is the one who is most similar to his younger self.
"But... there's still one of us who hasn't listened. How about... Brother Yi, have you figured out how to talk about Fourth Young Master's performance?"
But while Cao Cao was talking, he changed the subject and started talking about Cao Zhi, which made Yi Xiaotian's eyelids tremble unconsciously.
Seeing that Yi Xiaotian did not speak, everyone gave him meaningful smiles:
"Brother Yi, it's your turn. You haven't forgotten how the Fourth Young Master has behaved in the past few days, have you?"
"In this case, if that's the case, find someone and go quickly to see if the Fourth Young Master is still there -"
Jia Xu also encouraged him from the side without taking it too seriously, saying that for this reason, there was no use in Yi Xiaotian pretending anymore.
"Okay, okay, looking at you like this, you obviously already know something, why do you come to my place again to bury me?"
Hearing what Yi Xiaotian said, everyone laughed.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from everyone, Yi Xiaotian sighed and told everyone everything.
Soon, Cao Zhi's performance in the past few days - or even, it should be said, Cao Zhi's next performance was revealed.
To sum up, it seems that Cao Cao, who has never been as far-sighted as Yi Xiaotian, really guessed right this time.
Cao Zhi was the only one among these people who was completely inspired. Before Yi Xiaotian could announce anything, he had already made his decision.
Yes, from that day when Cao Zhi declared that he would work hard to achieve Yi Xiaotian's goal, in the next three days, Cao Zhi was completely immersed in wine and sex. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he became more and more indulgent.
Indulgence is not the end of the world. The more indulgence others have, the more they become depressed.
Cao Zhi's indulgence actually fully activated his talents that had been suppressed in conjunction with his nature. In just three days, Cao Zhi recited poems, composed poems, drank and had fun, with beautiful women by his side. He was so happy that he was accidentally rumored
The few poems I published have already begun to spread wildly among the Yecheng literati circle.
Many people say that if Cao Zhi really becomes the winner of this heir struggle, it will be a great loss to the literary world.
After all - as a lord, he always has various constraints on him, so he cannot indulge in enjoyment and have an infinitely broad mind like he does now.
Gradually, more and more people believe that Cao Zhi's declaration of not participating in the establishment of an heir is true. Naturally, this kind of thing will inevitably spread to Cao Cao's ears. It is also obvious that his son has become a hopeless pervert. Cao Cao
But the reason is not sad at all.
In fact, if Cao Zhi really behaves like a waste who is addicted to women and cannot make progress, Cao Cao will not be very happy. But now Cao Cao understands that it was Cao Zhi's temper that was tied up in the past, and it is obvious that Cao Zhi is him now.
The way it should be.
And since his son couldn't help but not be harmed by the dispute over heirship, and instead found what he wanted to do, what did he have to worry about?
"However... although the Fourth Young Master's poems are getting better and better, it does not prevent him from losing his qualifications. I think there should be no problem with that, right?"
Cao Cao looked at Yi Xiaotian and said to him with a smile.
Yi Xiaotian shrugged:
"Master Qiu, you win this time. It seems that I don't know the young masters well enough."
"Hey! Brother Yi, what are you talking about? This assessment was clearly thought up by a few of us together. It is not up to you and me to win or lose. Besides, the real outcome should be decided by themselves, and
Not us...what do you think?"
Cao Cao's words had a certain meaning, because after Cao Zhi's qualification for heirship was canceled just now, the long-simmering dispute over heirship finally had a truly clear situation.
In other words - now it's finally the finals.
The assessment plan to be implemented in the finals is actually the prototype of an idea that Yi Xiaotian had long ago.
It seems that it will be used to establish heirs in Cao Cao's family, but if... if the effect this time is good, Yi Xiaotian plans to promote this method from top to bottom, from childhood to a wider range.
Yes... In essence, this assessment on the dispute over the establishment of an heir is the prototype of a system that is extremely advanced in the world at this moment - scientific examination.
Cao Cao has been thinking about how to get rid of the so-called gentry economy for a long time, and the subsequent reform of the salt industry was naturally one of the ways he tried.
The results have all been seen. The impact of the salt industry reform was large enough and wide enough to cause the northern gentry to be exhausted, and many obstacles were cleared for Cao Cao at once.
But the real problem remains.
Because although many ancient gentry in the north suffered heavy losses in this round of sweeping, the problem is that after they fell, the resources left behind were inherited by another group of emerging gentry. Under the one-and-done situation, although Cao Cao was temporarily
There is no need to worry about the gentry having too much power, but what about the future?
Yi Xiaotian's foresight is obviously a way to completely solve the problem of the gentry. It is not really a once and for all solution, but it is definitely the best and most promising solution under the current situation.
