Chapter 565
"But you don't understand?" Cao Gong moved his eyes away from the letter, and glanced at Cao Zhi who was in a daze, his voice was indifferent as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Cao Zhi felt Cao Gong's gaze, and suddenly felt a huge pressure.He lowered his head slightly to avoid Duke Cao's eyes, and said with difficulty: "The grandson doesn't understand, so I ask my grandfather to enlighten me."

"If you know what you know, if you don't know what you don't know, it's knowledge. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you can recognize your own shortcomings, you will naturally have opportunities to learn in the future." Cao Gong seemed very satisfied with Cao Zhi's attitude, and first made a brief comment. Then he explained with a gloomy expression: "The Emperor Shi Huang's southern tour broke our original plan and made us nowhere to go."

The more Cao Zhi listened, the more confused he became, and he didn't understand Cao Gong's meaning.But even though he didn't understand, he didn't intend to interrupt Mr. Cao, and stood there quietly listening.

"Hey, we underestimated the first emperor this time, otherwise we would not have fallen into such an extremely passive situation today. We thought that without enough clues and evidence, the first emperor would not take action easily, but without him he would choose to be mighty Southern tour.

The first emperor toured the south with a dignified and upright division, using a dignified and upright posture.

He is forcing us to do it, or force us to make a choice.If we keep silent, after this incident, everyone will know that the Great Jin Dynasty is still ruled by the First Emperor.At that time, how many people do you think there will be in that extremely loose family alliance? "When Cao Gong said this, he put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and the mockery on his face became more intense.

The grandeur of the first emperor's southern tour was enough to make most small families feel fearful and even retaliate.They are speculators, how can they be expected to swear to the death under the power of the first emperor, just kidding.

When Cao Zhi heard this, he didn't understand the twists and turns behind him.

The first emperor just found the Wang family, although he has not found too many evidences and clues, but does he really need too many evidences and clues?

The answer is yes, no need!
As long as the first emperor knew that there was still a huge force in the Jin Dynasty that was very restless, and that it was enough to know that that force was probably capable.He just needs to attack openly, and those people have to respond.Whether it is surrender or confrontation to the end, there is always a choice.Otherwise, the internal people will be unstable, and someone must have other thoughts.

Moreover, after the first emperor's southern tour, the hearts of the Jin Dynasty were stabilized.No one doubts that he will not raise the butcher's knife to clean up the rebellion.No one would doubt whether the first emperor had that determination.

When the hearts of the people are stable in the world, no matter what decision the first emperor makes, he has firmly taken the initiative.Because of such a huge alliance, it is impossible for everyone to be of one mind, nor is it possible for everyone to be brave warriors who are not afraid of death.The first emperor only needs to raise the butcher's knife and tear a hole, and the alliance will inevitably disintegrate.

At that time, I am afraid that the butcher's knife of the first emperor has not yet fallen, and some people will eagerly carry the heads of their former allies to receive the reward.

This is an unsolvable choice, either to watch Shi Huangdi regain the initiative little by little, and then sit at home silently waiting to die.Either you can only fight desperately, and if you succeed, the world will be peaceful, the prestige of the first emperor will be gone, and the Great Jin will completely enter the era of aristocratic families.To lose is to die, no different from the other option.

After Cao Zhi figured it out, he suddenly understood why those big families didn't hesitate at all for his grandfather's plan, and even desperately supported it.

Not because they are stupid, but because they have already seen through the battle situation.It is not the big families who are really stupid, but those small families who originally wanted to fish in troubled waters.If they stayed out of the matter, maybe they could still get a little mercy from the first emperor, or the first emperor was too lazy to deal with them.Now that they are standing on the opposite side of the First Emperor, they have really cut off all retreats.

No, it's not that the small aristocratic families are too stupid, but those big aristocratic families will not give them a choice.

As soon as this plan came out, the big family originally wanted to coerce the small family to threaten the first emperor, in an attempt to win the last bit of life.If the small aristocratic family dares not to follow, it will be wiped out directly by the former own people without the first emperor's action.

After all, we are friends on the same front. If you suddenly say that you want to quit, what does that mean?This is not to say clearly that you want to betray us and the great revolutionary cause.Since you are a traitor, do you still need to show mercy and morality?
Of course it is to kill your whole family, raise your wife and daughter for you, and spend your inheritance for you.And even if the small family knew that this was a tiankeng, they had no choice.

Ruthless, too ruthless.

Cao Zhi gasped in his heart, convinced of his grandfather's plan.

When it is broken, it is broken, without a trace of hesitation.Moreover, the first move was a deadly ultimate move, cutting off the possibility of everyone retreating.

No, something was wrong, Grandpa didn't seem to like the plan.But if grandfather is not optimistic about this plan, or thinks that the family alliance will fail, why do he still do it?

Since it must be defeated, isn't it superfluous?

Wait, isn't it?
Cao Zhi thought of this, and the recent situation of the Cao family, and suddenly understood something.

Mingxiu shallow way, dark Chencang!
Cao Zhi was shocked, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Grandfather is trying to use them to attract the attention of the first emperor, and then find a way out for my Cao family?"

Cao Gong nodded in satisfaction, very satisfied with Cao Zhi's performance.Although he didn't see his plan at the beginning, but he could deduce his own thoughts from those words, which is quite good.

Cao Gong did not hide his intention, and smiled: "Yes, if you don't make a big noise, the first emperor's eyes will definitely focus on my Cao family and other big families. Only by thoroughly muddying this pool of water, can my Cao family gain Take a short respite and secretly complete the transfer of clansmen and property. Your uncle and others have already gone to Zhou and Tang countries first, and the first emperor will arrive in Pingchang in a few days, so you should follow them and leave."

When Cao Zhi heard this, there was only admiration and admiration left.

Those people probably would never have thought that they were just pawns in the hands of their grandfather from the beginning to the end, pawns used to protect the Cao family!
"Grandson saves me, and I will definitely not let the news go." He was emotional, and bowed down with his face flushed.

"Go on, be careful these days." Cao Gong smiled and nodded, kindly.

Cao Zhi didn't say any more, and exited the study respectfully.It's just that compared to the nervousness and anxiety when he came, he is full of excitement and confidence at this time.

In the next few days, the world was not peaceful.

Just when the family alliance gathered in Pingchang with great fanfare, Mo Chen's car finally arrived at Pingchang City, where the wind and clouds gathered, in the anticipation of the people of the world.
