Soldiers come to the world

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why come now?" Cao Cao asked displeased.

"The boy had already fallen asleep when he got the news, and hurried all the way again, which wasted time and made his father wait for a long time."

Cao Cao's face darkened, "You mean, I pushed you too fast, and I'm impatient?"

Cao Zhi listened to his father saying "you and me" instead of "how to be a father and how to be a son" as he said before. Feeling ashamed, he couldn't help it anymore, and said with tears: "The child is abandoned, why is the father still forcing him so hard?"

Cao Cao's heart was touched, and the feeling of licking the calf spontaneously arose. This was once his most beloved son. He had made countless promises to him, but in the end he let him fetch water from a bamboo basket. Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart was also full of Feelings of apology for his son.

However, thinking of the powerful power group behind Cao Zhi, and the inevitable dispute between Pizhi in the future, which will add civil strife to Wei Guoping, which will eventually become the root of Wei Guo's downfall, Cao Cao's heart that had just softened has hardened again.

Although he will not kill his son and completely cut off future troubles, he will not let it go. It is imperative to clean up the Cao Zhi Group. Cao Cao is very aware of the huge future troubles that the Zhi-Pi dispute will bring.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao asked coldly, "I made your elder brother the heir this time. Are you dissatisfied?"

"Child dare not!"

"Hmph! You don't dare, but those who support you dare. I want to know how many people support you? I need a detailed list."

Cao Zhi trembled all over, he finally understood why his father called him at night, not to comfort him, but to drive out all those who supported him, Cao Zhi felt a pang of grief, but at the same time it also aroused his heart of resistance.

"Haier doesn't have such a list, and there are no so-called supporters of Haier. If there are any party members, then the party members are Yang Xiu and Cui Yan."

Before Cao Zhi could finish speaking, Cao Cao stood up and slapped Cao Zhi to the ground. Cao Cao was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at him and cursed: "Niezi! This is the way you talk to your father. You are going to die of anger." me?"

At this time, Cao Xian rushed in from the door and helped his father who was on the verge of collapse, "Daddy! Daddy, calm down!" She was so anxious that she turned around and shouted to Cao Zhi, "Third brother, apologize to father!"

"The child is unfilial and deserves death!" Cao Zhi knelt on the ground, crying loudly, all the grievances and grief were vented at this moment.

Cao Cao only felt that his eyes were going black. He supported his daughter and sat down weakly. After a while, he gradually recovered. Looking at his son who was crying and mourning, Cao Cao's heart softened again. It may be a bit too much to force my son so hard, let's think about it in the long run!Slowly eradicate the important ministers who supported Zhi'er.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao waved his hand, "Forget it, my father won't force you anymore, you go! I will temporarily leave Yedu tomorrow and live in Xuchang for a few months. Without my father's permission, you are not allowed to come back."

Cao Zhi held back his grief, kowtowed three times, got up and left slowly, he knew it would be useless to explain, his father was determined to exile himself.

Misery, anger, dissatisfaction, loss, all kinds of emotions rushed into his heart at the same time. He almost screamed up to the sky, but seeing the guards on both sides staring at him, Cao Zhi finally held back his emotions. He bit his lip and walked away from the copper gate. Sparrow Palace.

In the room, Cao Xian was also very sad. She never expected such a result. Instead of comforting the third brother, his father forced him to hand over the list of supporters, warned him not to make trouble, and finally exiled the third brother to Xuchang , Is this the struggle of the imperial family? In the face of interests, there is no family affection, only ruthless power struggle.

Cao Cao also felt his daughter's depressed mood, he patted his daughter's hand lightly, and said softly: "Things are not what you think, my cold face today is just to preserve their brotherhood in the future, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, When I'm here, their brothers may not turn against each other, but once I'm gone, I'm worried that they will kill each other."

Cao Xian nodded silently. She understood her father's painstaking efforts. Although it was a bit difficult to accept, it was the same when she thought about it. Once her father unfortunately left, even if the two elder brothers could tolerate each other, what about their subordinates?Especially the group of people who supported the third brother, how could they give up.

"Father, you are right, my daughter supports your approach!"

Cao Cao smiled gratifiedly, held his daughter's hand and said: "You are not an ordinary daughter, you shoulder the safety of our Cao family, once Liu Jing seizes the world, can our Cao family survive this crisis safely?" Jie, it’s all up to you.”

Cao Xian bit his lip lightly, but said nothing, Cao Cao smiled again: "Although Liu Jing is my enemy, in my heart, he has always been the best young man. As early as ten years ago, we The first time I heard this name in Runan, I knew he was extraordinary, and he did not disappoint me, step by step to today, I also believe that he will be your good husband-in-law."

What Cao Cao said made Cao Xian burst into tears. She sobbed in a low voice: "As long as my father is healthy and live a long life, as long as my brothers can be brothers and sisters, even if my marriage is a bit unfortunate, I am willing."

"You are such a silly boy!"

Cao Cao shook his head with a smile. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "What I am most worried about is your elder brother's ambition. He can't do it, so I will give you a gold medal as a father, representing my highest authority, once your brother reveals his ambition to become king and abolish emperor, you must stop him in time."

Cao Xian said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that my daughter won't be able to bear the great trust of my father."

"You can do it, but for the sake of the success of the descendants of the Cao family, you must do it."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao took out a jade box from the drawer, opened the jade box, and inside was a shining gold medal, and he handed the gold medal together with the jade box to his daughter, "This is the gold medal, treat me as if you were alive, you Put it away."

"Father, give it to your daughter later!"

"No! You take it now, take it!"

Cao Xian had no choice but to take over the jade box due to her father's firm attitude. At the same time, a heavy responsibility weighed on her young heart. Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Go! I want to rest for my father."

Cao Xian no longer disturbed his father's rest, and slowly retreated. Cao Cao closed his eyes, like an old monk sitting still, and fell into long-term meditation

After returning to his mansion from Tongque Palace, Cao Zhi ordered his followers and wives and concubines to pack their bags. Although he was extremely worried and angry, he managed to maintain his rationality. He knew that his father would let him go to Xuchang, and he would no longer force him to hand over the list. In fact, he has been forgiving to himself, if he still doesn't know what to do, then what awaits him will be a more severe punishment.

Back in the study, Cao Zhi found a bamboo basket and began to pack his belongings casually, but after a while, he couldn’t pack any more. He was so depressed that he wanted to yell, and he sat down at the table in pain. rubbing his temples,

At this moment, Cao Zhi's wife, Cui Shi, walked quickly into the study with a bowl of ginseng tea. Cui Shi is Cui Yan's niece, which is the main reason why the Cui family firmly supported Cao Zhi. After the case, Yang Xiu and Cui Yan were given to death, and the Cui family was in a state of panic.

According to the usual practice, Uncle Cui Yan was bestowed with death, and Wei Gong would not allow this marriage to exist again, but Wei Gong was distracted by the Han-Hungarian War, and he could not take care of the Cui family for a while, as the Han-Hungarian War subsided , Cui began to feel anxious again.

She put the tea bowl in front of her husband's table and said softly: "Actually, going to Xuchang is also good. You can avoid a lot of gossip and don't have to look at other people's faces. Your husband loves literature so much, so you can do what you like freely. What's more important Yes, we will not be separated."

Cao Zhi understood his wife's worry, held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Since you won't let me be the eldest son, then don't want me to divorce my wife, even if he is the father, we will never separate."

Cui nodded and smiled again: "Husband, go to rest, I will clean up the study for you."

"No need, go and take care of the children! There are not many things here, I can just clean them up myself, and the house here still belongs to us, first bring some things for the road, and pack up the rest later."

Cui was happy, and let her husband drink ginseng tea, and then went with an empty bowl. Cao Zhi sighed, and had to work hard to pack his necessary items and prepare to leave Yedu before noon tomorrow

At the same moment when Cao Zhi was packing up his things and was about to leave Yedu, Yushi Zhongcheng Yang Tian, ​​led by a guard, hurried to Cao Pi's study room, and the guard reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Yang Zhongcheng is here!"

"Ask him to come in!" Cao Pi's voice came from the room. Although the voice seemed a little tired, an uncontrollable excitement could still be heard.

Yang Tian smiled knowingly, and walked quickly into the study, where Cao Pi was sitting at the table reviewing documents from various places, when he saw Yang Tian coming in, he put down his smile and asked, "Is there any news about Tongque Palace? "

There are two censors in Zhongcheng, one is Chen Qun, who is in charge of supervising all the officials in Yedu, and the other is Yang Tian, ​​who is in charge of supervising local officials. There are eight servants of the censor under his command, who patrol all over the country for many years, and Yang Tian is also Cao Pi. His confidant, so another of his secret duties is to collect intelligence for Cao Pi and monitor political opponents.

Yang Tian went forward to salute, and said with a flattering smile: "Sure enough, as expected, Wei Gong called Mr. Zhi, not to appease him, but to force him to hand over the list of supporters."

Cao Pi cheered up, and quickly asked, "Has he handed in?"

Yang Tian shook his head, "He resolutely refuses to admit that he has any supporters. Seeing that Duke Wei got angry, he will be exiled to Xuchang, and he will leave tomorrow."

The smile on Cao Pi's face quickly disappeared, and he seemed a little unhappy. His father had obviously compromised and no longer forced the third brother to hand over the list, but just sent him away from Beijing, but this did not solve any problems, and the forces supporting the third brother still existed , they will communicate secretly.

Yang Tian understood Cao Pi's worry, and said with a smile: "Actually, I think Wei Gong just couldn't find the evidence for a while, we can find evidence for Wei Gong, as long as we catch the evidence that Mr. I won't forgive you any more."

"you're right!"

Cao Pi nodded approvingly, he walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then turned around and said, "There are many ministers who support the third younger brother, but we have to monitor the most important people, one is Shang Shu Ling Zhong Yao, and the other is the servant Wang Jie. Send someone to watch them."

"The humble job will be done immediately. In addition, Sikong Cui Lin is the father-in-law of Mr. Zhi. Should he be monitored as well?"

"There's no need for Cui Lin. It's normal for father-in-law and son-in-law to have contacts. There's no evidence for it. The key is not to make things big, but to collect information secretly, understand?"

Yang Tian saluted deeply, "I understand the humble job!"
