"That's all, I won't go into details. In this way, the final candidate will be decided between the eldest son and the second son. Do you all have any opinions?"
Yi Xiaotian did not intend to dwell on this issue any longer. He stood up and looked at everyone, asking for their opinions.
Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Jia Xu looked at each other one after another. After confirming their respective intentions, Yi Xiaotian slowly took out a list from his arms.
Snapped--
The list was slapped on the table by Yi Xiaotian, attracting everyone's attention.
"Oh? Is this all the assessment matters?"
Looking at the dense handwriting on the list, Cao Cao said he was relaxed, but in fact he was still a little frightened.
Of course he knew that this quiz was just an appetizer, but he really didn't remember that they discussed so much content.
Xun Yu and Jia Xu quickly gathered around and looked at the contents on the list carefully. They nodded as they read:
"Wonderful! Having such comprehensive assessment content will definitely minimize the fallacy in judging the abilities of the two young masters."
"In the past, we never thought that we could realize the selection of inheritance rights in such a way. Brother Yi, your proposal this time has far more significance than just solving the prime minister's worries -"
Xun Yu rubbed his chin and finally expressed his inner thoughts.
Jia Xu on the side also agreed very much and said thoughtfully:
"Perhaps...perhaps this assessment method can be simplified slightly and then extended to other fields?"
"That's natural! Not every family will have the trouble of the prime minister choosing an heir, and there won't be so many rules to consider for ordinary trivial matters, but for some places that always involve imbalanced distribution, this assessment method
It will show its advantage.”
"for example……"
Xun Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said something. Jia Xu, who was opposite him, had a clear understanding and had already anticipated what Xun Yu wanted to imply:
"For example...selecting officials?"
——
Everyone's talks lasted until late that day. Cao Cao thought that everyone would return to the city one after another and start preparing the assessment matters they wanted to monitor. Unexpectedly, Jia Xu and Xun Yu started chatting.
The key... they just chatted. Cao Cao didn't have any feelings at first, but the more he listened, the more he became obsessed with it——
Based on Yi Xiaotian's unsurprising performance, everyone easily discovered that these were actually Yi Xiaotian's original intentions.
In short, this meeting not only determined the specific form of the subsequent struggle to establish an heir, but also forced Cao Cao to start thinking about the current official selection system.
As for the effect, I'm afraid it won't be visible in a short time.
——
In Qili, Yecheng, Cao Pi had not been out for nearly a day.
It was not because of anything else. Cao Pi seemed to have lost his soul since he came out of the spring-filled pavilion.
When Cui Yan came to see Cao Pi, he was frightened by Cao Pi's zombie-like appearance.
"Lord! Are you...are you okay?"
"No...nothing...just...just a little tired..."
Cao Pi, who had big dark circles under his eyes, stood weakly in front of the door and said, but with his appearance, how could anyone believe him?
As luck would have it, Sima Yi, who had been missing for a few days, came here immediately when he heard that Cao Pi was back.
As a result, we saw what Cao Pi looked like.
"This... Xun Lingjun won't torture you, my lord, right?"
Sima Yi muttered in disbelief.
"Isn't it possible? I found my lord being taken away by Xun Lingjun that day, and I quietly followed him to take a look - I heard that the Fourth Young Master also experienced something like this that day, but the person who took him there was Yi Xiaotian
…”
In front of Cao Pi, the two began to exchange the intelligence they had collected over the past few days.
As soon as Sima Yi heard that Yi Xiaotian had also come out, he trembled all over, subconsciously panicked, and said with some fear:
"What's going on with the Fourth Young Master? Could it be that he was also tortured into this miserable state like the Lord?"
"I don't know... Mainly because I heard that the Fourth Young Master has written many poems in one breath these days. Judging from the comfort in those poems, it doesn't look like it could be written by an exhausted person..."
Cui Yan and Sima Yi were muttering to each other, not looking as calm as they usually were.
This is no wonder, either Yang Xiu said that he was sure of victory. In this era, regardless of personal talents and practical knowledge, those who can gain the upper hand in the traditional heir establishment model are often those who have mastered a large amount of information.
information party.
The information gap seems to play a very crucial role on the battlefield, but in fact it is even more indispensable in the overt and covert battles above the court.
but…
Cao Pi obviously didn't want to listen anymore. The only thing he was thinking about now was how to get a good rest.
Therefore, looking at the two people chattering in front of him, Cao Pi waved his hand, turned around and left unsteadily.
"You guys continue chatting, I'm going back to rest."
"ah……"
"Well……"
Cao Pi left directly, leaving the two of them looking at each other.
"Ah! Second Young Master, please stay!"
However... before he could go far, someone suddenly stopped him, which made Cao Pi a little angry:
"What's the matter? Didn't you see that this young master is about to take a rest?"
Without thinking, Cao Cao turned around and roared angrily, but the problem was that when he realized that Cui Yan and Sima Yi would not call him Second Young Master, it was already too late to shut up.
As a result...the person being yelled at naturally looked confused.
"Ah...Second Young Master, do you want to rest?"
"No...no...no...Mr. Cheng...don't get me wrong! I...I want to..."
When Cao Pi turned around, everyone was stunned, because Sima Yi and Cui Yan were completely missing.
Standing outside the door was Cheng Yu, who shouldn't have been there.
The main reason is that Cheng Yu usually has a bad temper. In addition to being more respectful and obedient to Cao Cao, anyone who dares to provoke him will be beaten to death by Cheng Yu. Cao Pi found that he yelled at this man for no reason.
Can you not be afraid in your heart?
Fortunately, Cheng Yu didn't really want to delve into anything today. He was just here to convey a message. The only thing that confused him might be:
"Since the Second Young Master did it unintentionally, I have nothing to dig deeper into, but... The Second Young Master's habit of not closing the door casually is not good. When I came here, I saw the door to your residence was open, could it be... Hard?
Could it be that you just sent someone away?"
Cheng Yu asked suspiciously. At this moment, Cao Pi looked towards the bushes on both sides of the mansion gate and saw two cowering figures leaning against the wall. This made Cao Pi almost choke to death.
