Chapter 359

In the 21st year of Jian'an, it was a hot summer.

After Cao Cao returned to Xudu from Hanzhong.

The head wind is not getting better day by day, and the body is getting worse.

However, King Wei's prestige has reached its peak!

As far as the general trend of the world is concerned, the Cao Wei regime is deeply rooted in the North.In the south, Jingzhou has been flattened, and Jiangdong has become a vassal.

Xichuan, Cao Peng and Cao Cao reached an agreement, although Cao Peng has a high degree of autonomy in the western land.

However, huge taxes must be paid to the court every year.

Although Cao Peng was in Xichuan, he could raise troops on his own, but if something happened in the court and foreign tribes invaded, he had to lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

Such harsh conditions, it is expected that Cao Peng may not accept or should bargain.

But Cao Peng agreed to Cao Cao without even frowning.

Moreover, he also promised that Xi Chuan's only financial resources would be handed over to Xu Du in the near future.

Cao Cao saw Cao Peng's determination from this, so he stopped talking and made no further obstacles.

Legally speaking, Cao Cao has agreed to Cao Peng's self-reliance.

In the Xu capital city where the emperor is located, the current courtiers are already Cao Wei's minions.

Sing praises all day long, thinking that Wei Wang's kindness is extremely powerful.

Cao Cao now travels by riding a golden chariot, driving six horses, and using the emperor's chariot to serve Luanyi.

Not long ago, the Wei Palace was built in Xudu City.

This kind of behavior immediately caused many discussions in the city.

What is the difference between Cao Cao and today's emperor?
Even Cao Cao's words are more effective. Cao Cao is the emperor with real power, but he doesn't have the title of emperor.

Under such circumstances, many voices appeared, wanting Cao Cao to abolish the emperor and stand on his own.

These voices even spread to the court.

There was a minister who wanted to make a fortune, so he had the courage to openly ask the emperor to abdicate in the hall!

Liu Xie's face was pale with anger, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

In the end, it was Cao Cao who rescued him.

Cao Cao asked people to drag the official who was going to play, and beheaded the official after parking in the car.

Now there is no one who still wants to make a fortune through such opportunistic tricks.

But even if Cao Cao did this, these voices still did not stop.

Ask the emperor to abdicate, and ask Cao Cao to inherit the Datong.

There is already an uproar in the court, and even the folk squares have spread.

These voices are not groundless, but the thoughts of the courtiers in the court.

Of course, these thoughts were also guessed by them according to Cao Cao's thoughts.

Cao Cao gradually swelled under such voices, and began to wonder whether he could really abolish the emperor and stand on his own.

Although the whole world belongs to him now, he is not an emperor but an emperor.

But the more so, the more intense the desire to become the Founding Emperor's Patriarch.

After repeated weighing, Cao Cao decided to suppress this self-reliance.

However, since he has given up on being emperor.

Then, what Cao Cao should do is to discuss the establishment of the son.

For this matter, he called all the advisers under his command to his side.

Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others...

These people are all Cao Cao's confidantes.

So Cao Cao didn't meander, and said directly: "Everyone, the matter of establishing a son is related to the future generations. You should think about it for me. Who can inherit the mantle of Cao Wei?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and Cheng Yu, who still speaks honestly, said:
"King Wei, this matter is of great importance, and it may take some time!
Please allow me to wait and think about it before replying to King Wei."

For such an important matter, it is natural to think carefully about it. Cao Cao didn't say much, and let them go out with a smile.

Actually, in the current situation.

It is almost inevitable that Cao Ang will be the son of the world. Why do you have to ask again and again? This is the doubt in everyone's mind.

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao proposed to his wife, Mrs. Ding.

"Ma'am, with so many sons under my command, who do you think should be the crown prince?"

Unexpectedly, when he asked such a question, Mrs. Ding exploded.

Mrs. Ding sneered and said, "Cao Aman, you are really capable now, is it some vixen blowing pillow wind in your ear again?"

"Ang'er, everything is fine, why are you suspicious?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned pale.

Really, Mrs. Ding was right.

Cao Cao has always been afraid of this regular wife like a tiger, and he just brought up his idea just now.

Unexpectedly, his tigress sprayed him so that he dared not speak.

"Madam taught me that I was the one who talked too much!"

After Cao Cao said this with a smile, he left the room.

After Cao Cao left, Ding's anger still persisted.

How could he not know Cao Cao's mind, that Cao Pi's mind is lively, that Cao Zhi's literary talents are brilliant, and he and Cao Zhang are also good players in the army.

Those who are qualified to compete with Cao Ang for the position of son are only these three people.

"Mrs. Bian is a slut who comes from a lowly background, but she has a strong stomach!" Mrs. Ding said in a strange way.

In fact, it's no wonder Ding said so.

Bian's family background was just a humble singing girl, but she has a bit of charm.

Cao Cao's four sons were all born to the Bian family.

They are: the eldest son Cao Pi, the second son Cao Zhang, the third son Cao Zhi, and the fourth son Cao Xiong.

The maid on the side laughed and said, "Madam, why bother to get angry because of that! There is ginseng soup over there in the restaurant, I'll go get some and give it to Madam!"

Madam Ding nodded casually, and the maid immediately went to get the ginseng soup.

After the hot ginseng soup is served.

Madam Ding sniffed it, but she immediately picked it up, and pushed away the ginseng soup in disgust.

"It doesn't taste good if it smells weird, pour it down and feed it to Cai!"

The maid nodded hurriedly, otherwise she went outside to look for the dog named Ah Cai.

This is Mrs. Ding's favorite dog.

After the dog was brought up, Mrs. Ding took a spoonful of ginseng soup and fed it into the dog's mouth.

Ah Cai, who was still close at first, suddenly went crazy and broke away from Madam Ding's embrace.

The little white dog was foaming at the mouth after falling to the ground, and died in an instant.

"lady!"

Looking at the poisoned dog on the ground, Mrs. Ding and the maid looked terrified.

Madam Ding's face became even more gloomy, and she said coldly: "Which thief is it that dares to do such a thing!"

The maid has followed Madam Ding for many years, and has also learned some of Madam Ding's habits.

Hearing this, he immediately said: "Madam, calm down, I'll go down and arrange someone to investigate who it is!"

Madam Ding's expression softened slightly.

"You go to the dining room to have a look again, and ask them to keep this soup safe, so as not to destroy the evidence."

The maid bowed and took command.

However, her face suddenly changed again.

"Ma'am, it seems that the soup has also been sent to Mr. Ang!"
