Chapter 173 The Cao Family Inheritance, the Old and New Wei Kings Handover!
Outside the city of Xudu.

Cao Pi, who was dressed in the robe of Prince Wei's son, had been waiting by his side early.

Over the past month or so, he has gradually become familiar with Cao Cao's daily affairs, and he has gradually found a feeling for getting along with Cao Cao's civil servants and generals.

of course
He originally had a team.

Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang and other clan relatives, as well as ministers such as Cui Yan, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Mao Jie, etc., stood firmly on his side when they fought against Cao Zhi for his succession.

Once the emperor and the courtiers,

Naturally, he will entrust these people who have firmly supported him with important responsibilities.

far away
On the earth where the world is white, a black spot appeared.

The black dot was getting closer and closer, gradually turning into a marching army.

The soldiers in black armor looked stern, and all of them frowned.

Marching in the snow in winter, the sourness of it, only the big soldiers like them know the difficulties, these nobles, they know nothing!

"Abandon your homeland.

Leaving the house.

Miles away from the military.

Overcoming thorns and thorns.

Seek Qianmo.

Walking alone on one side. "

Cao Pi sighed with emotion and stepped forward slowly.

He had already seen Cao Cao's king.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

"My lord, pay homage to the king."

Cao Pi led a group of clan ministers and knelt on both sides of King Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty is safe."

Cao Ren shouted loudly at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground from the king's car.

"Get up without ceremony."

Cao Ren answered for Cao Cao. Cao Pi knelt down on the ground, his eyes flickering, but without delay, he got up immediately and said, "Thank you, Father."

The rest of the ministers shouted: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old!"

When he got up, Cao Cao did not invite Cao Pi to enter the king's car, but went straight into Xudu City.

"Your Highness."

Chen Qun stepped forward, eyes darkened, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has to let the General speak for you, I'm afraid."

"Don't talk too much!"

Cao Pi waved his hand to stop what Chen Qun was going to say later, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Zijian should be here soon?"

Chen Qun nodded.

"It should also be in the past few days."

Cao Pi nodded.

"Go to the city to pay respects to your father."

His father's body was even worse than he imagined.

Can't even talk anymore?

this is not to say
Is the end of life soon?

Cao Pi was both excited and sad, and even a little scared and worried in his heart.

Excitedly, he is finally coming out of his head.

Companion is like a tiger.

What's more, my father is still suspicious.

Dream kills!
In the fight for the heir, he narrowly escaped death, and finally survived.

Cao Ang, Cao Chong, Cao Zhi.

Now it's finally his turn, Cao Pi!
The sad thing is that Cao Cao is his biological father after all, and now he is seriously ill and dying. As a son, he naturally feels sad in his heart.

My father has more than 20 sons. Although he has never loved Cao Zihuan, he has never despised him.

What should be given to him is finally given to him.

There is no discrimination.

And what is frightening and worrying is, after the death of his father, Cao Pi, can he really control the whole territory of Wei State?

This world was ruled by his father. As a son, can he keep his foundation and even rule the world?
As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend the world.

The situation in the state of Wei is complicated. The aristocratic family, the clan, the powerful, and the emperor, Cao Pi just got to know it, and he felt a little bit overwhelmed.

Not to mention, in addition to internal troubles, Wei Guo also has external troubles.

Jiangdong rat, you can ignore him.

The Xianbei in the north and the Western Regions in the west can all be ignored.

But he dared not ignore Liu Xuande of Yizhou and Gongsi Liu of Jingzhou.

Especially Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong!

Liu Bei and his father are of the same generation, and Cao Pi can kill him.

But this Liu Chan is younger than him!
Even as old as his son.

Who boiled who?

And
Even if Cao Pi doesn't want to admit that Liu Chan is better than him, it cannot be denied that Liu Chan is indeed extraordinary, and has skills in military and politics.

A young, ambitious, righteous, respected and capable Prince Liu Gongsi of Hanzhong.

I'm afraid it will be Cao Pi's lifelong enemy!

Cao Pi's mind was full of miscellaneous thoughts, but the next moment, he shook his head heavily to get rid of the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind.

If you are afraid of this and that, what kind of Wei king should I Cao Zihuan be?
It's better to surrender that Hanzhong Prince Liu Gongsi as soon as possible!

Wei Wangfu.

Inner courtyard.

Cao Pi walked in slowly, but saw a sick old man lying on the bed.

That skinny appearance, like a dying person.

Although a month ago, when Cao Cao was in Xudu, he already looked weak, but now Cao Cao looks like a dead person.

The difference between the two is huge.

"Bring the medicine."

Cao Ren was coming forward with a bowl of thick soup. He said it was soup, but it was better to say it was soup or soup dregs.

A bowl of decoction is full of herbs.

Cao Cao took the medicine bowl, frowned, and chewed while drinking. It took almost a quarter of an hour to finish the small bowl of soup medicine.

"Whoo~"

He slowly let out a mouthful of turbid air, drank the hot soup and medicine, and finally showed some blood on his pale face.

This long-lost calm came to the head, which was aching like a needle.

Ninth vice medicine.

The last medicine, finally, there is no more medicine to take.

After sitting paralyzed for another quarter of an hour, Cao Cao's eyes gradually became brighter.

He looked at Cao Pi who had been waiting early, and said to Cao Ren, "Zi Xiao, you go and wait outside the door. If you have something to say, you have to talk to Zi Huan alone."

"promise."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ren packed up the medicine bowl, nodded to Cao Pi, and walked out the door.

When you go out, don't forget to close the door.

"Go out and patrol, and no one is allowed to come within a hundred meters of this place!"

"promise!"

The guards left immediately, and Cao Ren stood at the door, motionless like a door god.

In the room, Cao Pi was numb from Cao Cao's tiger eyes.

After standing for almost half an hour, his feet were already numb.

But at the moment he dared not speak.

"Gu already knows what's going on in Xu Capital City, you've done a good job."

Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "It's what a son-in-law should do. If there is something wrong, please correct me."

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi, but his tone became a little more serious.

"Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, you only do state affairs well, what about family affairs? You can't even control a woman."

Hearing Cao Cao's reprimand, Cao Pi's cheeks blushed immediately.

"Children. Sons"

That bitch!

Cao Pi's eyes turned red when he thought of Zhen Mi's appearance under Liu Gongsi's body.

A feeling of being bullied rushed straight to his forehead.

"That's it."

Seeing Cao Pi's performance, Cao Cao was very dissatisfied.

"It's just a woman. I only see women as clothes. I wear them when they fit, and throw them away when they don't. Now that Mrs. Zhen is captured by that Liu Gongsi, what you have to do is not panting heavily, not looking angry, but Find a way to snatch her back, and even snatch Liu Gongsi's wife and concubine to play with!"

Who in this world is better at playing with other people's women than Cao Mengde?Have more experience?
"My son understands."

"You do not understand!"

Cao Cao's tiger eyes looked directly at Cao Pi. Cao Mengde was careless, and he didn't know how he gave birth to such a feminine son.

Not manly at all!

"Can you swear to the sky in front of Gu's face that you will definitely defeat the prince Liu Gongsi of Hanzhong, seize his foundation, plunder his wife and daughter, and win his subjects?"

Defeat Liu Gongsi, Prince of Hanzhong?

Cao Pi hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the sky with his right hand and said, "My son can definitely do it!"

"You must do it, otherwise, you will not rest in peace even if you are alone under the Nine Springs."

"Father."

Cao Pi's eyes were red, and he was about to kneel down immediately.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Crying and crying, is it the image of the master? Stand up for me!"

After being yelled at by Cao Cao, Cao Pi hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face and straightened his back.

"I ask you alone, if I am a hundred years later, this Wei country, how will you rectify it?"

How to rectify Wei State?

Cao Pi thought for a while, and said: "I believe that in governing the country, we should first pay attention to the selection of officials. The advancement and retreat of talents is related to the clarity and turbidity of officials, the gains and losses of politics, and the success of officials. , military merit, and investigation are the main ones, and talents are the only ones, and wisdom is valued."

Cao Pi sneaked a glance at his old father Cao Cao, and found that there was no strange expression on his face, and he was relieved.

"If you want to control the overall situation, you can stabilize people's hearts, or you can use privileges to reward the prince with merit."

The gentry clan was intertwined, and Liu Gongsi was the clan of the great Han Dynasty. After King Jing of Zhongshan, he carried a big banner on his body. If he, Cao Pi, wanted to fight against him and make concessions to the aristocratic family in order to gain their support, it would be better.

"You keep talking."

Sharing profits with the gentry?
Letting go is possible, but it depends on how much you let.

If the gentry grows so big that it cannot be restrained, will this world belong to his Cao family or the gentry?

"Governing the country, appointing officials is also the most important thing. Appointing an official to serve is related to the profit and loss of the government and the effectiveness of governing the country. Appointing an official wins the person, so you can govern by doing nothing. When you are an official, you will naturally know people. Good appointment, appointment according to ability, employing people with sincerity, not sticking to one pattern, rewarding good and punishing evil.

The methods of appointment, such as conferment, gift, briefing, probation, recommendation, reassignment, filling in vacancies, concurrent appointments, dispatch, etc., are already known to the ministers, and they are already familiar with using them. In order to achieve complete control over the situation. "

Cao Cao nodded.

"It seems that, Zihuan, you have seriously studied governing the country."

Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.

It is necessary to start at the most subtle point in order to achieve results.

To make good use of talents is to ensure that the officials are suitable for the post, use them at the right time, and make the best use of their talents. This is a key link in national governance.

When serving as an official, it is necessary to know people and know people, and to be reasonable, and more importantly, to be responsible. On the basis of inspecting talents and investigating the reasons, we must strive to make sure that the job is the first, that the person is suitable for the position, and that the personnel are suitable; It is necessary to concentrate the power of appointing officials, but also to disperse the paths of appointing officials, so as to give full play to the leading advantages of the monarch as an official
He, Cao Cao, is good at this way, and he can rule Wei Guo submissively.

Listening to Cao Pi's words today, he must have his own views on the way to be an official.

not bad.

"Finally, it is about governing officials. The effectiveness of governing officials is related to the well-being of the living and the people, and the prosperity and decline of the world. If the government is not repaired, the officials will be in chaos. Rule the officials with virtue, rule with rites, rule with laws, and rule with systems. "

Cao Pi talked eloquently, he is not incompetent.

in contrast.

He is not bad at governing the country as an official.

"Promote the farming system and implement the grain and silk market"

"Resume agricultural production. Reduce tax expenditures and reduce the burden on the people"

"Building the Taixue, winning the hearts of scholars"

Cao Pi talked on and on for more than an hour before stopping.

Cao Cao's expression has changed from disgust and scrutiny at the beginning to satisfaction now, and he can't stop nodding.

It seems that he, Cao Cao, has a successor.

If there is no war, Wei Guo will be handed over to Zihuan, and he will be able to keep the foundation he laid down by Cao Cao.

of course
Provided there is no war.

Thinking of Liu Gongsi, Cao Cao's bright face turned gloomy.

"The way of governing the country, Zihuan, you already have experience, and you are lonely, so how do you deal with Liu Gongsi, do you have a plan in mind?"

To deal with Liu Gongsi?
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, he thought about it again and again, and said: "Liu Gongsi is indeed not to be underestimated, but there is no need to be afraid of him. My Wei State has Kyushu, with millions of people. Let's guard it first and recuperate. It will take less than three to five years." , the treasury is full, and the soldiers are elite, at that time, it will not be a problem to choose a strong general and send a large army to recover Jingzhou and Yizhou."

Could it be that Cao Zixiao, Pang Lingming, Yu Wenze, and Xu Gongming were not strong generals before?
Which of their soldiers is not an elite soldier?
There are more than [-] people.

Still can't beat that Liu Gongsi.

Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Cao Pi's general talk.

"What if in three to five years, he comes from Jingzhou and Hanzhong, together with Jiangdong Sun Quan, to attack our country Wei on three sides?"

Attack Wei on three sides?

Cao Pi looked stern, and said: "Your servant will appoint Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu as generals to guard Guanzhong; as for Liu Gongsi, I will personally lead the army to fight against him. Sun Quan in Jiangdong has Wenyuan in Hefei, so Xuzhou has nothing to worry about. "

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "That's all you can think of?"

Cao Pi frowned, he could clearly feel that Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with his answer.

He thought for a long time again, and had a fierce brainstorming in his head.

"Jiangdong Sun Quan can be won, make an alliance with him, give him some benefits, and invite him to destroy Jingzhou together. Now Liu Gongsi is famous all over the world, the king of Hanzhong has the appearance of the great ancestor, and the Marquis of Nanchang has been defeated by Liu Gongsi many times. Must be resentful towards Liu Gongsi and attack Wei from three sides? Impossible!"

This is a political consideration.

The military is just an extension of the political.

There are many battles that cannot be resolved politically and can only be fought by relying on violence.

Before the war, it is the best policy to stabilize Jiangdong.

When it came time to send troops to deal with Jiangdong, it was already at the bottom of the pile.

"Also, what are you going to do, Your Majesty?"

His Majesty?

After thinking for a moment, Cao Pi immediately said:
"The father is a Hanchen, and the son is the son of Wei."

Cao Pi lowered his head and didn't directly answer Cao Cao's words, but the answer was actually ready to come out.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Remember, keep your dignity."

"My son understands."

After talking with Cao Pi today, Cao Cao was obviously much more relaxed.

It's like there is something that I have been thinking about, and it has finally been completed.

"Lonely, you step back."

"promise."

Cao Pi stepped back slowly as if relieved, and when he was about to open the door, behind Cao Pi, Cao Cao's faint voice crept into his ears.

"Chong'er that day, but you killed him?"

buzz~
Cao Pi's ears were filled with buzzing sounds, as if something was tumbling inside.

He quickly turned around and knelt down on the ground.

"Father, Chong'er is the brother of Erchen, how dare the son kill his relatives?"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Pi carefully, waved his hands, and said, "Remember what you said today, go down."

"promise!"

Cao Pi's back was already soaked with sweat.

When he walked out of the room, his knees softened and he almost knelt down.

Cao Ren has quick hands and quick eyes, and hurried forward to support Cao Pi.

"My son, be careful."

Cao Pi showed gratitude on his face.

"Thank you, uncle."

Walking out of the inner courtyard all the way, Cao Pi's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't help laughing twice.

Jian'an 13 years.

How did Cao Chong die?

In this world, perhaps no one knows better than Cao Pi.

But as long as he can sit on the throne of King Wei, everything will be gone.

Brother Chong.

was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

He Cao Pi said so, who can not believe it?
Who dare not believe it? !
