Chapter 1389 Convincing Xun Yu

Cao Cao was able to dominate the Central Plains, so he naturally had capable people under his command.

This time Cao Cao suddenly killed Meng Jin, and many people were also suspicious.

Chen Qun is also one of them.

Hearing Chen Qun's suspicion, Xun Yu fell silent.

In fact, he didn't believe it either.

Thinking that Guo Jia is facing strong pressure from Zhuge Liang at this moment, it is unwise to start a war with Cao Cao at this time.

Besides, in Xudu, Guo Jia firmly held the upper hand. If he wanted to kill Cao Cao, he would have done it long ago, and there was no need to do it behind his back.

In all likelihood, someone else killed Cao Cao.

"Father-in-law, I think the death of the lord seems to be someone else. We must not fall into the trap of the enemy and never end with Yunzhou."

Chen Qun said in a low voice.

Cao Cao has also made countless enemies in these years, and there are many people who want him to die.

"Don't pursue this matter, and don't mention it, the most important thing right now is how to deal with the aftermath!"

Xun Yu suddenly sighed.

Even though he was aware of this matter, he would not act rashly.

After all, it pulls the whole body.

Right now many are already in a mess, if they ask questions again, Xudu may really be in chaos.

My son-in-law understands!

Chen Qun nodded.

He also knows how to measure.

At this moment, the servants outside suddenly came to report!

"Master, Sima Yi is here to visit!"

Sima Yi!
Hearing this name, Xun Yu's face suddenly changed slightly.

From the very beginning, he felt that the second young master of the Sima family was not simple. Now that Cao Cao died, this second young master suddenly became a key figure in Xudu, which seemed a bit unusual.

"Sima Yi, didn't he entrust the Cao family with one hand and Xiahou with the other? What is he doing here to see his father-in-law?"

Chen Qun was a little puzzled.

He didn't know much about this young man.

It's just that Sima Yi's actions in Mengjin won the support of Cao and Xiahou.

"Let him in!"

Xun Yu nodded.

Right now, the two are representatives of Xu Du Wenchen.

No matter what Sima Yi wanted to do, he couldn't get around Xun Yu.

Son-in-law avoid it!
When Chen Qun saw that Xun Yu wanted to see a guest, he immediately got up.

No need!
Xun Yu smiled lightly and said, "You stay here."

Chen Qun is his son-in-law and a member of the four major families in Yingchuan.

Xun Yu didn't dodge in the slightest.

Less leaning, Sima Yi came generously.

"Meet Shang Shuling!"

Seeing Xun Yu, Sima Yi bowed slightly.

Xun Yu is No. 1 under Cao Cao. He is not only Cao Cao's right-hand man, but also the Minister of the Han Dynasty, in charge of all government affairs.

"Zhongda is here!"

A smile appeared on Xun Yu's face.

Apart from other things, he admired this young man purely in terms of ability.

"I heard that Shang Shuling is ill, so I came here to take a look!"

Sima Yi smiled and took out a gift box.

"This is the best Liaodong hundred-age ginseng. Shang Shuling has worked hard day and night and needs nourishment."

Zhongda is worried!
Xun Yu smiled and asked Chen Qun to accept the gift.

The two sat down as the guest of honor and chatted a few gossips.

Sima Yi's eyes suddenly fell on Chen Qun.

"I'm afraid this is Changwen. He really is a good-looking talent."

Although he and Chen Qun had met before, they were not very familiar with each other.

Changwen met Brother Zhongda!
Chen Qun also clasped his fists. Although he was older than Sima Yi, Sima Yi was Cao Cao's right-hand man, and his position was only under Xun Yu. Naturally, Chen Qun did not dare to neglect.

The two chatted politely for a while.

Xun Yu suddenly said: "Zhongda, the old man is getting older, and his energy is not as good as before. I am afraid that the affairs of the court will fall on you. Those who are able will work hard, and I will leave it to you in the future."

What did Shang Shuling say?

Sima Yi stood up again, and said respectfully, "No one in the Manchu Dynasty knows that Lord Xunling is the pillar of the country. Now that Mr. Cao has passed away, everything depends on Lord Xunling to revive the government."

Xun Yu pretended to be stupid with him, so Sima Yi naturally wouldn't be fooled.

Ha ha!

Xun Yu smiled slightly, and said: "There are talents from generation to generation. Sima Zhongda is young and promising, and he is a model for courtiers. Seeing Zhongda, this old man suddenly feels old."

The old fox!
Sima Yi cursed a few words in his heart.

He brought up the topic of government several times, but Xun Yu always played Tai Chi with him and kept silent about it.

Chen Qun on the side was even more obsequious and didn't answer.

As a last resort, Sima Yi had no choice but to get straight to the point.

"Mr. Xun Ling, Mr. Cao has just passed away, but the court can't be without a master for a day. I don't want to support the eldest son to succeed the chief Sima. In addition, in the name of the court, Duke Cao will be named Wei Gong, and Jiuxi will be added. What do you think?"

Seal!

Xun Yu frowned slightly.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been very few conferred dukes.But Wang Mang and Guo Jia are exceptions.

Those two are no different from rebellious officials and thieves.

Now that Sima Yi proposes to make the Cao family Duke, wouldn't the Cao family follow in the footsteps of the two?
"I'm afraid this is against the law!"

Xun Yu frowned and said.

Although Cao Cao has meritorious service, as a subordinate, Xun Yu doesn't want him to bear the reputation of being a traitor.

Your Majesty!

Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said: "There was Guo Jia's case before, so there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, Duke Cao has made great contributions to the country and society, so it is only natural that he should be named Duke."

is it?

Xun Yu raised his head and glanced at Sima Yi, and said meaningfully, "Does Zhongda want the lord to be infamous even after he dies?"

He suddenly felt that this young man had no good intentions.

Although Cao Cao monopolized power, he was loyal to the great man throughout his life.

If a duke is pursued after death, doesn't it mean that the Cao family also has the heart of disobedience?

No, no!
Sima Yi coughed and said, "Boy, this move has two major benefits. First, it can appease Mrs. Cao, and second..."

He suddenly stood up slowly.

"The boy feels that His Majesty is in the prime of his life, so it's time for him to be in charge."

what?
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Xun Yu Weng's son-in-law suddenly trembled and looked at Sima Yi in surprise.

Since Cao Cao took over the emperor, he kept it as a pet, and no one in the whole court, civil and military, took the emperor seriously.

Because the territory was laid down by Cao Cao, everyone also worked for the Cao family.

Although Xun Yu was very loyal to the Han Dynasty, he never thought about letting the emperor take charge.

Because in that case, the Cao family would definitely not agree.

Although Cao Cao died, both the Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers held great power.If they get into trouble, things will be difficult to control.

"Could it be that Mr. Xun Ling is also greedy for the power in his hands, and doesn't want to give back to the big man?"

Sima Yi asked with a smile.

Xun Yu looked at Sima Yi with some doubts.

It is reasonable to say that the Sima family has received great favor from the Cao family, so it should be considered for the Cao family, so why would he think about returning the government to the king?

Is this guy here to test himself?
Thinking of this, Xun Yu suddenly became vigilant.

He has been in the political arena for so many years, how could he be fooled by a brat?

There must be some fraud in this!
