Guo Jia left the room, and after going out, he saw Xun Yu in the courtyard.

The two bowed to each other and saluted, and when they staggered over, Guo Jia wanted to speak and wanted to speak.

But Xun Yu turned a blind eye, did not give Guo Jia a chance to speak, and went straight into the room.

Guo Jia knew why Xun Yu came, and Xun Yu also knew what Guo Jia wanted to say.

Therefore, he did not give Guo Jia a chance to speak, because Xun Yu would not be persuaded by him.

Guo Jia turned around and looked at the closed room, a thousand words piled on his lips, and finally only a sigh.

"Alas~"

One is Guo Jia's lord, and the other is Guo Jia's lord, and he says nothing is appropriate.

In the original historical line, Guo Jiaben did not have to worry about this, because he died on the way to Liaodong, so he ~ did not need to worry about this.

Inside the room.

"Wen Ruo is here, sit down."

Xun Yu bowed and saluted, and the two sat opposite each other across the table.

Cao Cao did not take the initiative to speak, but waited for Xun Yu to say - something.

"Lord, the northern expedition to Wuhuan takes a lot of time, the consumption of money and grain exceeds the standard, the subordinate officials estimate, if you want to send troops to Jingzhou, you will have to wait until after the autumn harvest this year at the earliest."

The Northern Expedition to Wuhuan turned back twice and marched three times.

Although the war was resolved in one piece, there was too much delay on the road.

However, it is normal, and in history, Cao Cao's southern expedition to Jingzhou was also in the autumn, and there was no deviation.

"Hmm." Cao Cao bowed his head slightly.

Xun Yu continued: "According to your orders, you have already carved out the Xuanwu Pool by the Tongli Taipei, and the water of the Zhanghe River can be used to train the water army above. "

Cao Cao looked a little absent-minded, and did not respond this time, just nodded slightly.

Because Cao Cao knew in his heart that what Xun Yu said was trivial.

In fact, these things, there is no need for Xun Yu to report in person, just hand over a document.

The reason for this is actually to use small things as a foreshadowing to prepare for the big things mentioned later.

Cao Cao looked at the "comrades-in-arms" in front of him and couldn't help but have complicated feelings.

Once upon a time, the two were so close that they could say anything directly, even if they argued.

But as the position of the two became higher and higher, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them, and they gradually became estranged.

Listening to Xun Yu's continuous reporting of trivial matters, Cao Cao suddenly raised his hand, and Xun Yu immediately stopped talking.

"Wen Ruo, Qunchen suggested that I be the prime minister, what do you think?"

Since you don't say, then I will ask directly, Cao Cao obviously lost patience and asked the first sharp question.

Xun Yu's face showed hesitation, and after hesitating for a long time, he said: "The lower official agrees with this, and the prime minister can also better handle state affairs and government affairs." "

Cao Cao, who had been expressionless, finally showed a smile on his face, pulled Xun Yu excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Wen Ruo, I know that you support me!" "

"The courtiers naturally support the lord." Xun Yu had a faint smile on his face.

"This year's campaign to Jingzhou will win!" Cao Cao shook his fist excitedly.

If the big butler looks like a god, Cao Cao really has no bottom in his heart.

If Xun Yu had been resisting his appointment as prime minister before the conquest of Jingzhou, then this battle Cao Cao would definitely have gone up and down in his heart.

Seeing Xun Yu open his mouth to support now, Cao Cao could be described as relieved.

"Master, there is one more matter to discuss with you."

"Wen Ruo, you say, I'll listen."

"About the heirs." Xun Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master, it is not easy for us to get to this day together, and the minister does not want you to repeat the mistakes of Yuan Shao and fall for the lead in this matter." "

Cao Cao had a smile on his face, but immediately recovered as before, nodding repeatedly: "Wen Ruo, you are right, I listen to you." "

Xun Yu's face showed joy when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "I know that the Lord can hear it!" "

"Is there anything else?" Cao Cao asked with a chuckle.

"No, everything is fine under the rule, the wind and rain are smooth, the Guotai and the people are safe, and the lord can rest assured." Xun Yu seemed very happy and quite talkative.

"Okay." Cao Cao waved his hand, "Since there is nothing to do, let's go first, I have to teach those two brats a lesson, it's really not worrying." "

Xun Yu, who was about to continue to say something, paused and said with a smile: "Then I will come to talk to the lord another day, and you will deal with the affairs of the two princes first." "

"Hmm." Cao Cao said and got up and personally sent Xun Yu out of the house.

"The Lord stays."

"Wen Ruo walk slowly."

Everything was so harmonious, Xun Yu had a smile on his face, and the wind under his feet, and he left Sikong Mansion satisfied.

Cao Cao stood in front of the door, looking at Xun Yu's gradually moving figure, the original expression on his face converged, and his eyes looked deeply, until Xun Yu's back completely disappeared.

Turning back to the room, Cao Cao sat alone and said to himself:

"Hehe~ It turned out to be an exchange with me, not really supporting me, how ridiculous!"

Originally seeing Xun Yu supporting him as prime minister, Cao Cao was so excited that he was like a child, thinking that Xun Yu would be the same, unconditionally supporting and trusting him.

But when Xun Yu said about his heir, Cao Cao understood it completely.

Xun Yu was exchanging and did not really support him as prime minister.

In short, each side takes a step back.

Xun Yu no longer opposed Cao Cao as prime minister, but Cao Cao also promised not to let the princes fight.

"My family affairs, no one needs to intervene or interfere!"

One of the most taboo things that rulers have always had is that ministers intervene in the question of heirs.

Ministers who dare to meddle in this matter rarely end well.

Generally, only when asked by the monarch can the attitude be properly expressed.

Instead of such a direct opposition, which will make the monarch feel that you have no sense of boundaries and want to interfere in everything? Are you a monarch and I am a monarch?

Although he saw the meaning of Xun Yu's exchange, Cao Cao finally assumed that he was a snake and pretended to agree.

"Let me wait until I'm done fighting Jingzhou!" Cao Cao said coldly.

Now that the southern expedition is imminent, Xun Yu is very important as the big butler in the rear.

Pretending to stabilize Xun Yu, Cao Cao also wanted to have no problems during the southern expedition, so that Xun Yu could devote himself to his work, and don't think about anything.

As for the issue of heirs, Cao Cao did not want to compromise.

However, the southern expedition to Jingzhou was a matter of great importance, and its importance was much higher than that of the northern expedition to Wuhuan, and Cao Cao did not want to make a difference at this time.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao got up and went to the back house and went directly to Cao Chong.

"Why is Aweng here?"

Cao Chong was also surprised and motioned for Sun Shangxiang to serve tea.

"Can't I come?" Cao Cao took a sip of tea and said unceremoniously: "Come and teach you boy." "

Aweng laughed. Cao Chong was not afraid at all, and his hippie smiled face.

"Hmph." Cao Cao was also helpless, and after seeing his beloved son, all anger dissipated.

"What do you say about the Ma family's girl? Give a precise word. Cao Cao was straight to the point.

"I want it!" Cao Chong was not polite at all.

"Impossible!" Cao Cao said without hesitation: "Ma Teng came from thousands of miles to surrender to sincerity, and it is impossible for his father to make his daughter a concubine. "

"What if the Ma family is willing?"

"Impossible, Ma Teng has a brain disease?"

"Then leave it alone, the child needs a fair chance to compete." Cao Chong asked directly, "Let's just say whether you promise or not." "

"Alas~" Cao Cao sighed: "Last time it was Ziwen who was wrong, but why did Cangshu be so-for-tat..."

"It's not interesting, ha." Cao Chong interrupted, "Isn't it something that Ah Weng is happy to see when the sons fight each other?" "

Cao Cao was not young, and if he didn't want to see his sons fighting, he could directly establish an heir, and then there would be no contradictions.

The sons fought each other, which was completely the result of Cao Cao's deliberate connivance.

"Now that the southern expedition is imminent, can we stop a little?" Cao Cao said in a consultative tone.

"The trees are quiet and the wind is not stopping." Cao Chong shrugged, "It seems that every time they start first, I am just forced to fight back, is it possible for me to stand and be beaten?" "

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought about it carefully, and felt that this was really the case.

Starting from the Tonglitai, it has always been Cao Pi and his brothers who took the lead in attacking Cao Chong.

Cao Cao found that he seemed to have made a mistake, and he should go to Cao Pi's side.

"Not only are they older, but they also huddle and bully the children alone." Cao Chong said angrily, "Now Ah Weng is still coming to pull the sideline?" The next time Kong Rong scolds you, you ask Cao Pi to return the favor for you. "

Cao Cao coughed awkwardly when he heard this, and said busily: "Blame Lin'er for the father's mistake, don't be angry." "

"In this way, the affairs of the Ma family's daughter, it doesn't matter to the father, it's your ability to get your hands, right?"

"So-so." Cao Chong pouted.

"You boy." Cao Cao glared and wanted to curse, but he didn't have half a deterrent.

In exchange for other sons, Cao Cao passed with a glance and directly prodded into a pool.

"Okay, except for this, you can stop for a while, there is a minister's opinion." Cao Cao said and got up to leave.

"Aweng and slow." Cao Chong grabbed Cao Cao and asked his father to sit down again.

"Anything else?"

"There is one more thing that has not been dealt with, and the child cannot be stopped at the moment."

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to be anxious, Cao Chong hurriedly said, "But since Aweng has ordered, the child cannot fail to listen." "

"In this way, it is better to choose the day than to hit the sun, let's dispose of this matter tonight, how about I stop at ease?"

"What's going on?"

"Sir's marriage."

"Zhaoji's marriage is tricky?" Cao Cao's eyes froze.

"The child's words are not convincing, and I don't believe it if I want to come to Awen, so I'll just wait and see tonight."

"Good." (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

Mafu.

After Ma Teng and his family arrived in Yecheng, Cao Cao arranged a top-level mansion and moved in directly with his bag, even the maids and servants.

"Father is back."

Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Yunlu got up to greet each other after seeing Ma Teng come in.

"All sit." Ma Teng waved his hand.

After everyone was seated, Ma Tie couldn't help but ask, "Father, what do you say about my little sister's marriage?" Could it be true that the kid was a concubine? "

"!" Ma Teng reprimanded: "That's the Marquis of Ye, the title is higher than that of the father, and the marquis of real military merit, and the words are more respectful." "

"Isn't this without outsiders?"

"Say habits at home, and inadvertently export them outside, and woe will come out of your mouth, and you must be careful in your words and actions in the future." Ma Teng instructed the three children.

"Oh."

Ma Teng continued: "Cao Gong means not reluctantly, it all depends on how we choose. "

"That's it." Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, "At least the little sister can still be a right wife, and there is no need to commit herself to being a concubine." "

"What is Yunlu's opinion?" Ma Teng looked at his daughter.

Things have developed to this point, and Ma Yunlu's attitude is also very important.

"I think that kid is interesting."

There was no deep contact with the princes, but Cao Chong kept talking to her, and Ma Yunlu naturally had the best impression of Cao Chong, and had no feelings for the other princes.

"Little sister is confused!" Ma Tie hated iron and said, "How can you take the initiative to be small?" "

"What is small is not small, who pays attention to these in Xiliang." Ma Yunlu didn't care, his words were very rebellious.

"Absurd, this is the Central Plains, not Xiliang." Matthew also reprimanded: "Naturally, you must pay attention to fame, otherwise your future children will be sons, with low status and no inheritance rights." "

"Okay." Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "Actually, if you want to say that Ye Hou is not bad, it is a good object." "

“???" Ma Tie and Ma Xiu were stunned.

I almost couldn't help but say that Ma Teng was confused, how could he make a mistake with his little sister?

"I know what you mean, but there are some things you don't know." Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "On the way back, I visited some officials to inquire a little about the news. "

"At present, the sons of Cao Gong are in the stage of seizing the throne, and the two most promising ones are the eldest sons Cao Pi and Ye Marquis."

Ma Tie and Ma Xiu looked at each other and suddenly realized.

"You say, are you marrying an ordinary son who has no chance to inherit the family business?"

"Or choose to gamble and marry a son who may become an heir?"

The answer is obvious, marrying Cao Chong may not be able to follow the dragon, and marrying an ordinary son must not be from the dragon.

How to make a choice or think?

"And as far as I know, Duke Cao likes Yehou the most, I think you can also see it." Ma Teng continued: "It is not difficult to hear from the words of Cao Gong, and the Marquis of Ye is the only one among the princes who is a marquis. "

Marry an ordinary son, in the future, this in-law will not help the Ma family much, at most it is better than nothing.

If you don't believe it, look at the princesses of Cao Wei's domain in history, and only a few have left names.

But if he becomes an heir, once he is favored, the status of the Tsushima family in Cao Ying will have a qualitative leap.

"It is not difficult to see that Ye Hou is very fond of Yunlu, even if he is not a wife, it will be of great benefit to be favored." Ma Teng said.

"Then choose Yehou?" Ma Tie said tentatively.

"Huh." Ma Teng couldn't help but laugh and said, "To learn to calm down, what is the hurry?" "

"Now that we Yunlu are in demand, it is better to wait and see, and we can better see the situation."

Ma Teng planned to wait and see, while observing the attitude of the princes, and then getting to know the princes in depth, especially to deepen his understanding of the Marquis of Ye.

"Hmph!" Ma Yunlu puffed up: "You guys said that it is so lively, everything has been arranged for me, what else do I pick?" "

"My husband must be to my heart's content, or I won't marry."

After speaking, Ma Yunlu twisted Yang Willow's thin waist and left with long legs.

Leaving the three horses who looked at each other, they could only shake their heads and smile bitterly at each other.

Night falls.

Drunk on horseback, Dong Qi walked aimlessly on the street, ready to return home.

Today's Dong Qi is also a small red man, and there are people who have banquets every day, and I want to make one in advance.

First, it is the identity of Cai Yong's son-in-law.

Although Cai Yong is dead, Cai Yong's disciples are still there, and this identity is still very faceful.

Second, it was Dong Qi who climbed Cao Pi.

The identity of Sikong's eldest son, Cao Pi also appeared to be a little more strapped in Sikongfu, and he was very explosive when he went out.

In the same way, Dong Qi is also a little brother in front of Cao Pi.

But his little brother is also a number one person outside, and there are countless people who want to befriend.

The wedding date is approaching, and Dong Qi can be called proud of the spring breeze.

From an unknown little cold door, he became a hot gentleman nowadays, thanks to this marriage.

"What man?! At the moment there is a curfew. A group of soldiers came to the front and surrounded Dong Qi.

"Get out of here!" The drunken Dong Qi used the wine to spread joy, flicked the horsewhip and cursed: "Do you know who I am? Cai Daru's son-in-law! Pi Gongzi's henchman! "

"Something without long eyes, dodge!"

Suddenly ascending to a high position, the class status has been greatly improved, and it is inevitable that Dong Qi will feel proud.

Participating in the wine bureau every day, no matter where there are people holding him, Dong Qi's mentality will inevitably change.

Especially after Cao Chong was "grounded", Cao Pi and others all thought that the marriage was stable, and Dong Qi naturally did the same.

Without the mentality of suffering from gain and loss, Dong Qi couldn't help but become more arrogant and arrogant.

Hearing Dong Qi's name, the patrolling soldiers were also very embarrassed.

As patrol pawns under curfew, this situation is often encountered, and even if they arrest people, they will have the power to release them on bail afterwards.

"What's going on?" In the dark night, a tall figure walked out.

After the soldiers saw the person coming clearly, they quickly bowed and saluted, "Meet General Xu Chu." "

"This person is acting during curfew, and I am waiting for cross-examination."

The pawns are also very smart, since they can't solve it, then throw the pot to Xu Chu.

In Yecheng, there was no one that Xu Chu did not dare to arrest.

"Who are you?" Why are you here late at night? "

Dong Qi was not completely drunk, and he dared to insult the low-level soldiers through alcohol, but he was not so hard-headed as Xu Chu.

"I have seen the general, in the Lower Dong Qi, and I am about to go home." Dong Qi threw up his hands and said, "Can you look at the face of Pi Gongzi and let you return home?" I will definitely not dare to do it again next time."

"Cao Pi has no face in me." Xu Chu said and stretched out his big hand and lifted Dong Qi directly from the horse.

"Why is the general so?"

"Summoned, let's go."
