Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 361 The Controversy Between the Sons ([-])

In the prime minister's mansion in the early morning of the next day, Cao Pi took his wife to greet his parents and complete the last ceremony in the marriage.

Although Cao Cao did not attend his son's wedding in person, he decided to put on a show.

His second son asked to marry Liu Bei's daughter without telling him. Although he had the permission of the Bian family, it still made Cao Cao feel uncomfortable.

Even his wife was able to be persuaded by Cao Pi to hide the inside story from him, and he didn't tell him about it until a few days before the wedding.

The support of all the officials in the court, the closeness of the Cao family and the Xiahou family's clan and soldiers, and even the selfishness of the people next to him, made Cao Cao really uncomfortable.

Cao Pi knelt in front of his father, and kowtowed to his father with his wife.

"Son Cao Pi Zihuan pays his respects to his father. Son Cao Pi Zihuan pays his respects to his mother."

Taking his wife to greet his parents, Cao Pi was very calm and calm, which made Cao Cao feel even more afraid of his son.

Having been able to be calm and calm in front of himself, Cao Pi made Cao Cao feel insecure.

"Good son, spend more time with your daughter-in-law these days, and quickly give birth to a fat boy for your mother and your father. Mother is still waiting to be a grandmother! Man, you should also praise your son a few words, after all, Liu Shijun is also a Han family clan , His daughter's status is not low, and she is worthy of the status of our Cao family."

Mrs. Bian naturally knew what her husband was thinking, so she quickly tried to persuade her son.

Among his three sons, Cao Pi, the eldest, just got married, and both Ziwen and Zijian married ladies from great families, so Mrs. Bian naturally wanted to take care of Cao Pi more.

Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, and said: "Good boy, get up quickly. Your father Liu Bei and I are old friends. It will be difficult for you to marry my son."

"Zihuan, you are doing well. Not bad, really good! Very good, even better than your elder brother!"

After saying a word to Cao Pi and Liu Shi, Cao Cao changed his face instantly and said something meaningful.

Standing up, Cao Cao held back the anger in his heart, and went straight out of the mansion to the palace.

Cao Pi looked at his father's back, helped his wife up, and served tea to her mother.

Mrs. Bian sighed helplessly, and said softly: "Zihuan, I have to say, I have selfish intentions this time. After all, Zixiu is not my son. I also hope that you can be better than Zixiu and inherit the position of the son. "

"This is the last time mother will help you. Mother can't always help you lie to your father, right? If you compete with Zixiu in the future, you will have to rely on yourself. In fact, between you and Zijian, your father still likes you the most. Zijian. It’s just that you are much better than Zijian. Although your literary talents are not as good as his, you are far superior to Zijian in handling government and military affairs.”

"Girl, it's really embarrassing for you to come from afar. If Zihuan bullies you in the future, you will come to mother-in-law. Mother-in-law will help you clean up Zihuan, ang!"

Mrs. Bian held Liu's hand, which made her feel very at ease.

Her husband is also very gentle to her, although Liu knows that her husband married her mostly because of her status.

But as long as her husband treats her well, Mrs. Liu will be satisfied.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law was too tired last night. I'll take her back first. My son promises that within a year, you will see a big fat grandson!"

Cao Pi smiled slightly, supported his daughter-in-law's arm, and greeted his mother again.

Taking his daughter-in-law back to the mansion, Cao Pi's servant persuaded all the people who came to look for him today, and he only deserves to be by his wife's side.

In the evening, Cao Pi hosted another banquet for Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Sima Yi and Fazheng.And this time there are two people coming, Cao Fu and Xia Houba!
Cao Fu is the son of Cao Hong, and Xiahouba is the second son of Xiahouyuan.

The presence of these two people is enough to prove that Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan have begun to support Cao Pi.

Sima Yi and Fazheng sat on the same level as Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, while Xiahouba and Cao Fu were slightly lower.

Although Cao Zhen still always bickers with Sima Yi, he has begun to agree with Sima Yi.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Pi talked about government affairs, saying: "Today I went to greet my father according to the wedding, but my father was very unhappy. Obviously, he began to think that I had surpassed my elder brother, so he wanted to suppress me."

Sima Yi frowned slightly, he didn't speak, he just wanted to listen first.

Cao Zhen was rather impatient, and sighed: "Then what can we do? Zixiu is not as good as you, Zihuan, but he only has Yuan Shao's support. Yuan Shao is only a surrender, so what is there to be afraid of? Wen Lie, are you right?" .”

Cao Xiu and Xiahouba nodded one after another, and Cao Fu also responded.

After Sima Yi and Fazheng looked at each other, they disagreed

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and asked, "Zhongda, you have a better vision than everyone present, please tell me your opinion."

Sima Yi made a fool of himself and made a fool of himself before he said, "Young master, what General Cao said is not accurate. After all, Mr. Cao Ang is the eldest son. When the prime minister goes on an expedition and allows His Highness the Second Highness to guard Yizhou, that is his status." Sit still."

"The eldest son has more say in the court than the second son, but in the military, the second son is more prestigious. The prime minister is now afraid of the second son. You have too much military power in your hands."

"General Cao Hong's [-] parts, two Cao generals' [-] tiger and leopard cavalry, General Xiahou's [-] town border army and Nanman Menghuo's [-] elite. The area south of Jiangling has been controlled by the second son. Now if the Second Young Master is self-reliant, the Prime Minister would not dare to make a big move, right?"

As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Xiu roared angrily, "Sima Zhongda, do you dare to think about such a conspiracy?"

Although he yelled at Sima Yi, Cao Xiu still glanced at Cao Pi and asked what he meant.

Cao Pi waved his hand to let Sima Yi continue.

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The second son controls one-third of the soldiers in Yizhou, so the prime minister will naturally suppress the young master. I can't imagine that in three years, the prime minister will become king and consolidate his control over the central military power! "

"In the past three years, the son will still raise some private soldiers in the south of Jiangling, and at the same time win over the courtiers."

Sima Yi's words calmed down everyone present, they knew that this matter had already involved mutiny and treason!

Cao Fu squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It takes a lot of money to raise private soldiers. My father's plundering of cities and villages over the years is no less than that of the prime minister. Maybe he can help the second son. My father also said, don't ask for money." Others, I only hope that after the second son inherits the position of the eldest son, my father can be made a marquis and a general!"

Cao Fu's words are straightforward, and he really doesn't care about his brain.

But he showed his loyalty to Cao Pi, which made Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu very satisfied.

Xia Houba pursed his lips. Although he also came on behalf of his father, he didn't dare to be as unrestrained as Cao Fu.

Cao Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, we can do whatever we want here in Zihuan, but don't talk too much in front of others! Come on, let's toast to brother Fu, and also to our old uncle Cao Hong!"

Cao Zhen raised the wine cup and quickly eased the atmosphere.

The topic turned out to be about raising private soldiers. Cao Zhen understood Cao Pi's meaning and quickly changed the subject.

This kind of thing can't be planned prematurely, or if it is discovered, it will lose its head!
