My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 580 578. Cao Pi’s determination (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

In some old military tents, Cao Pi, dressed in black and rich clothes, sat in front of a table piled with books and bamboo slips, looking at Sima Yi's back in trance.

Because, the other party is right.

The Cao family has the possibility of decline.

If Cao Cao is defeated, it will be like a mountain collapsing. The clans that are attached to the Cao family will not hesitate to attach themselves to the new master in order to survive.

And those officials from aristocratic families who were already enemies with the Cao family would not look back, and would even take the initiative to add insult to injury for their own safety.

Even if Cao Cao gave them high-ranking officials and generous salaries, they were worthless in the face of their lives.

How will Cao Pi, as Cao Cao's "eldest son", end up?

Cao Pi closed his eyes.

Sima Yi said these words to him, even though he was saying that Sima Yi would not keep integrity for Cao Cao, but it revealed the biggest crisis for the Cao family now.

What Sima Yi is doing is trying his best to win this battle for Cao Cao.

Otherwise, if the other party doesn't remind you, not many people will pay attention to this matter.

Under Cao Cao's series of "tyranny", the aristocratic family had long been dissatisfied, not to mention taking away the family's land and slaves.

If the aristocratic families don't rebel at this time, they must have some back-up plans.

They are biding their time.

But now, as the "eldest son", he must pay attention to this matter, because this is the biggest crisis that may overthrow the Cao family's rule.

Moreover, the hard work of promoting the plan was not enough to consolidate his position.

Even persuading Sun Quan to attack Jingzhou with all his strength was not enough to consolidate his position.

But by extinguishing the possible rebellion of the Northland families, he can establish his position as heir in one fell swoop, which no one can shake.

He didn't know if Cao Cao had thought of this, or if he had thought of it but couldn't handle it.

By the way, Xun Yu, who represented the aristocratic family, had broken with Cao Cao for several months.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi smiled bitterly.

My father's path was full of thorns, and his path was equally full of uncertainties.

"Zhongda, thank you very much."

After Cao Pi said this, regardless of whether Sima Yi heard it or not, he continued to deal with the promotion of Jiguotian in Xuzhou.

Half an hour later, he called his attendants and asked him to deliver a letter to Sun Quan.

An hour later, he summoned several attendants and asked them to take the letter to various aristocratic families in Jizhou.

Including the Julusun, Xi, Feng, You, Shi, and Zai clans, the Liu clan of Changcheng, the Geng clan of Songzi County, the Zhao clan of Changshan Kingdom, and the Zhending Liu clan, Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom, Guangzhou, etc. Pingjun and other counties and aristocratic families.

As Cao Cao's "eldest son", he made appointments with representatives of these aristocratic families.

The purpose is to make one last effort before something big happens.

Only in this way can Cao Cao's internal affairs be stable.

Because his commitment is stronger than the commitments of Cao Cao himself and his ministers.

As long as he becomes the next generation successor of Cao Cao, the aristocratic families will not raise their flags and rebel when they are desperate.

Similarly, he also wrote to Cao Cao about his appointment with these people and the purpose, saying,

Father, if this comes true, our army’s victory rate will increase slightly.

If the child fails in this matter, I hope the father will not be angry, but can train other children and choose outstanding ones as heirs.

After writing this, Cao Pi couldn't help but blush. He summoned his attendants again and ordered him to hurry back to Yecheng.

After a moment, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes. This was Cao Pi's most important gamble in his more than twenty years of life.

In Sima Yi's military tent, he heard reports from his attendants that people kept coming out of the young master's military tent and heading to various places.

He knew that Cao Pi had reacted.

If the Cao family can win this struggle, there will be nothing wrong with him continuing to contribute to the Cao family.

History is written by the victors.

Was the First Emperor really tyrannical?

He agrees with the importance of heavy scriptures in troubled times.

The fall of the Qin Dynasty was nothing more than the reluctance of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms.

If not, why did the Han Dynasty inherit the Qin system?

Thinking of this, Sima Yi smiled, he had already done his best.

The final result depends on fate.    Mid March.

Both letters from Cao Pi have reached Cao Cao.

In the previous letter, Cao Pi said that he was not afraid of the reputation after his death and was only willing to open up territory for his father, which moved Cao Cao very much.

In the second letter, Cao Pi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Cao Cao's heart.

Disasters in the family were not only the cause of turmoil in the dynasty, but also easily overturned the rule of his side.

He couldn't make up his mind on whether to exterminate all the aristocratic families.

If this is the case, all state and county offices will stop functioning. Even if his army goes out for an expedition, logistics officers and various counselors and generals will go on strike.

Originally, Xun Yu could still try his best to balance various joints for him, but now, Xun Yu is no longer willing to do these things for him.

He asked Xun You to take over Xun Yu's work, but there was almost no improvement.

That's right, if his Cao family was deprived of their fields and slaves, he wouldn't be able to sacrifice his life for the other party. If he didn't take the three-foot green peak to kill the other party, he would already be considered generous.

During this period of time, Cao Zhi worked hard to catch the spies in Yecheng, and Cao Zhang worked hard to select new troops and plan equipment.

And he kept summoning the younger generations of the Cao family and Xiahou family to entrust them with important tasks. There was no other way. In this case, the only people he could trust were his own family.

Even if his own family is still young and may be sacrificed in the future, he cannot trust others to guard the various places and prevent the family from rebelling.

Cao Zhang's idea of ​​​​training a new army also gave him some hints. Let new people lead the new soldiers so that they will not be tainted by the noble family.

Of course, he also needs to conduct urgent "pre-job training" for these newcomers.

This can be regarded as his greatest defense against disasters in the family.

I just didn't expect that Cao Pi would see this problem and personally come forward to appease them.

The prime minister's status as the "eldest son", a handsome general, and perhaps the most likely next heir is enough for him to make promises to various aristocratic families.

He always thought that Cao Pi was not talented enough to take over his position, so although he was dissatisfied, he kept it quiet in order to prevent the disorder of the elders and young children.

But now it seems that Cao Pi's courage and vision are far stronger than those of his other brothers.

Thinking that Sima Yi was also in Xuzhou during this period, Cao Cao smiled. Perhaps Sima Yi told Cao Pi about this.

The Sima family is really loyal to his Cao family!

He can use it with confidence.

"Someone is coming."

"Prime Minister."

"Go and invite Mrs. Bian."

"promise."

Not long after, a graceful woman came over.

"Concubine, I have met my husband."

"Madam." Cao Cao smiled and helped her up.

The woman in front of him gave birth to four sons, all of whom were talented. Therefore, after Mrs. Ding was deposed, Mrs. Bian became the most powerful wife in the house.

Of course, he doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, as long as they can have children for him and don't cause any trouble.

"My husband called me here for something?" Mrs. Bian was curious.

In the past, Cao Cao would not call them during the day.

"In a moment, Madam will go to the warehouse to pick some gifts and send them to Sima Dalang and Erlang's house. Now that they are both running away, and there are only female relatives in the house, it is most appropriate for Madam to come forward."

Mrs. Bian nodded in agreement.

The Sima family had recommended Cao Cao in the early years. Now Sima Lang and Sima Yi are working under Cao Cao. They must have made some contributions. Cao Cao wanted to express his condolences.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam."
