[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

On the first day of Guo Yi's arrival, Guo Jia has already prepared some things for him.After Guo Yi saw it, he didn't show any emotion, he just said lightly: "Thank you, but I don't like blue."

Guo Jiawen said: "What color do you like?"

Guo Yi glanced at him and asked back, "Don't you know?"

"...I don't know."

Guo Yi had already withdrawn his gaze, and said with a blank expression: "Then forget it, blue is also good."

Guo Jia was a little troubled.

——He is impeccably calm and calm in the face of thousands of troops, but now facing Guo Yi, he is really helpless.

Perhaps because his wife died early and Guo Yi was raised by his relatives, he felt a little indebted to Guo Yiben.And because the two sides have hardly met each other these years, Guo Jia doesn't know this silent 14-year-old boy at all.And Guo Yi doesn't seem to need his understanding, no matter whether Guo Jia is courteous or plain, he treats them indifferently.

This situation was far beyond Cao Zhi's expectations, and he couldn't help but smile: "I never imagined that there are people in this world that Mister can't figure out."

Guo Jia smiled gently: "Young Master Si thinks highly of me."

"Then what are you going to do, sir?"

Guo Jia heard this, and looked sideways at the young man who was studying hard in the study.His eyes shone brightly, not only did he not feel frustrated or at a loss, but instead he smiled.He said lightly: "If you have more fun, life will be interesting."

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang crowned each other.

For the two brothers, the crowning ceremony is probably the most solemn thing that has lasted so far.On this day, the two bathed and burned incense, and Cao Cao and Cao Pi led them into the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors.Then Cao Zhang was crowned by general Zhang Liao, and Cao Zhi was crowned by Xun Yu.

After being crowned three times, Cao Cao hosted a banquet to entertain the guests, and the guests and the host had a good time.Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang met their mother, and finally Cao Cao decided on their characters: Ziwen and Zijian.

Zijian, Zijian...

Cao Zhi recited his own words silently, and for a moment, thousands of images seemed to flash in his mind, and his heart seemed to be touched by zither strings, but when he was contemplating again, he was silent.

After the coronation ceremony, the emperor obeyed the suggestion of Xun Yu and others and ordered Cao Cao to preside over the revision of the law.Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhi to take over temporarily on the grounds of serious illness.

There was an uproar in the court!

——The reforms of all dynasties have to touch the interests of some people.And this group of people are mostly at the top of power, such as people from the royal family, such as gentry officials.Their family is no more than a few hundred, but they occupy most of the land in the country.Even if there are thousands of people who starve to death every year, it has nothing to do with them.However, Cao Cao used to reclaim fertile land and bestow it on the people, depriving them of many benefits.Even if it didn't hurt the foundation of the family business, it was enough for them to resent!

They don't want to.

At the time of the incident, Cao Zhi was in Yang Xiu's mansion and asked Yang Xiu for help.The two played chess while thinking about how to deal with it.

Cao Zhi knew about this as early as seven or eight days ago, so he was not as surprised as the outside world.But Yang Xiulue also understood the deep meaning after thinking about it, and was only a little surprised.

Yang Xiu dropped Baizi and asked the first question: "Have you ever thought about what Duke Cao wants you to do?"

Although Cao Cao said that he wanted him to participate in the formulation and revision of laws and regulations, in fact, regardless of criminal law, taxation, culture...these are the most important aspects of the law, and the root of the country's stability.Even if Cao Cao trusted Cao Zhi very much, it was impossible for Cao Zhi to lead the formulation of the law.Therefore, what Cao Cao asked Cao Zhi to do was by no means the key to the law, but a relatively mixed thing in the early stage.For example, collecting people's living materials, thinking about the measurement of criminal law, or if he has good suggestions to develop the court under the premise of ensuring that the people live and work in peace, Cao Cao will also consider incorporating it into it.

Cao Zhi naturally understood, he said all the thoughts in his heart, and Yang Xiu also quite agreed.He asked again: "Then do you know why Duke Cao asked you to do this?"

Even if it is not really in contact with the core of the law, wouldn't it be better to entrust this matter to other talented people?In Yang Xiu's opinion, the most suitable candidate is Xun Yu, and then Cao Pi.

Why is it Cao Zhi's turn again?

Cao Zhi dropped a son in the hinterland and collected four white sons: "Father ordered the student to do this, one is to see how capable the student is when faced with questions from the court, and whether it is worth the effort to cultivate; the other is to push the student away Going in front of everyone to create momentum for the students; the third thing... is to see what the second brother will do after he finds out about this."

He paused, and finally added a little: "Four points, to see how the court ministers will behave."

These four points are all that Cao Zhi can think of.

Now Cao Chong is dead, and Cao Cao is over fifty years old.The most suitable candidate for the heir in his mind is gone, and he has no strength to re-train an heir who suits his wishes.So he wanted to use this incident to see what Cao Zhi would do, what Cao Pi would do, what the court ministers would do, and who strongly opposed Cao Zhi, then these people might not live for too long!

It's just that Cao Pi has mastered Xuchang in recent years, and has gained a little reputation in the city; while Cao Zhi is deeply hidden in his home, but he is unknown.If Cao Zhi can't even suppress the doubts from the court, then he is naturally not worth cultivating; if Cao Zhi can suppress it, why not let him fight Cao Pi? !

When Yang Xiu heard about it, he didn't care about the four sons. Instead, he left a son in another place, and then looked up at Cao Zhi with a smile.His expression was no longer joking or sarcasm, but a rare seriousness: "It seems that you understand Cao Gong's meaning very well."

Cao Zhi stared at the chessboard silently, then put down another black stone, his eyes flickered: "What is the third question, sir?"

Yang Xiu flicked his fingertips and studied him carefully for a long time.He took a sip of warm water and said slowly: "The third question is how you will choose."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Fourth Young Master, you have lost again."

Cao Zhi closed his eyes and was speechless for a long time.

Xu Shi was recently distracted by Guo Yi, Xu Shi wanted to prove that he was able to stand on his own, and Guo Jia didn't know about this before.

When the news reached his ears, he was studying with Guo Yi.He subconsciously got up and wanted to discuss with Cao Zhi, but the next moment he sat back in his seat, which attracted Guo Yi, who was studying hard beside the desk, also looked sideways.

But Guo Jia ignored it.

He thought about it for a long time, but finally suppressed his worries and planned to see what Cao Zhi did.Because he can't go, once he goes, he will have to testify that Cao Zhi really made a name for himself because of his position as the son.

The most suitable thing for him is to protect himself wisely.Sit quietly in this room, waiting for Cao Cao to send.

But why, so worried?

At this time, Cao Pi was still recuperating.

Although he was strong and strong, the poisoning caused him serious damage in the end.Hua Tuo ordered him to cultivate himself well so as not to leave any legacy in the future.

Before he knew it, he was talking with Chen Qun, when he heard about this, he swept his sleeves and knocked down the teacup on the table. The sound of the porcelain cup shattering made the young man kneel down subconsciously, trembling.

Chen Qun was awakened by the sound, frowned and said calmly: "Second Young Master is so happy, what can I do to inherit the prime minister's great career in the future!"

Cao Pi's face was cold.

Among these brothers, Cao Chong is the most outstanding, followed by Cao Pi.Now Cao Chong is always fixed at the beginning of his 14th year, and that beautiful and immature face will decay with time. Even if he never fades in Cao Cao's heart, he will gradually be forgotten by everyone.

He thought that the future was already in his hands!

How did he know that when everyone came back from Jingzhou this time, he actually heard someone say that I always thought that Mr. Cao Chong was a rare intelligent and transparent man in the world, and that he was the closest to the position of the son among all the heirs of Mr. Cao. He didn't know that Mr. Cao Zhi was also deeply Can't hide it.

When Cao Pi first heard these words, he thought the man was joking with him.It was not until Chen Qun was asked that he got an affirmative answer.

Cao Zhi really kept it hidden, and Sima Yi really expected that he approached Guo Jia only for the position of the prince!

Cao Pi took a deep breath.

Why did things come to this?he asked himself.

Obviously, Cao Zhi's dependence on him when he was young was not pretending. Of all the brothers, only Cao Zhi was pretended to be in his heart. It is even obvious that he has treated Cao Zhi better these years than anyone else...

Why is it like this now?

Cao Pi raised his head and closed his eyes deeply.

Could it be that all Cao Zhi's true feelings for him in the past were just pretending? !

Thinking of this, Cao Pi seemed to have an invisible hand pinching his heart tightly.Then there was the pain of being torn apart, spreading along the veins and spreading all over the body in an instant.

Cao Pi suddenly opened his eyes.

His face was pale, and his pupils became more sinister and cruel.

He couldn't understand Cao Zhi's temperament well, after all, his aptitude was never so amazing since he was a child!Therefore, Cao Zhi's performance in Chibi must be tricky, but he doesn't know whether the trick is Yang Xiu or Guo Jia.

But such tricks actually made Cao Cao entrust this matter to him...

——What a well-hidden one!

He tried his best to kill Cao Chong, could it be to pave the way for Cao Zhi?

In just a moment, he connected everything together and thought about it.Then he came back to his senses, quickly disappeared the cruelty or disappointment on his face, got up and saluted Chen Qun: "Please sir give the students advice, how should the students stop it?"

Chen Qun has ordered the servants to clean up the teacups.He looked at Cao Pi with a sincere face, and said slowly: "I think that the deep meaning of Mr. Cao's ordering the fourth son to do this matter is worth investigating. Therefore, the second son must not show any dissatisfaction or jealousy. You must trust the Fourth Young Master very much."

Cao Pi's eyes were full of doubts.But it was too late for him to ask, and the servant came to report that Cao Cao had arrived.

Cao Pi's complexion suddenly changed.

Without waiting for Chen Qun's reminder, he regained his composure and a little weakness in an instant.

Cao Cao quickly entered the door.Seeing Chen Qun, he said calmly, "Oh, Chen Qun, you are here too."

Cao Pi said: "Oh, my son is revisiting the "Book" part of "Tai Shi Gong Shu" recently, and I occasionally have doubts, so please come to clarify the doubts, sir."

The "Book" part of "Tai Shi Gong Shu" is related to astronomy, geography, economics and culture, and is somewhat related to Cao Cao's plan to modify and improve the law.

Satisfied, Cao Cao praised Cao Pi briefly and ordered him to read the book deeply.Then he said: "Gu will entrust your fourth brother with the matter of revising the law, have you heard?"

Cao Pi's heart tightened: "Yes, I heard about it."

"Do you think the fourth child can handle this well?"

Cao Pi smiled: "I believe that my fourth brother will be able to handle this matter beautifully and satisfy my father!"

Cao Cao glanced at him and said indifferently: "You have great confidence in the fourth child."

Cao Pi and You Rongyan said: "Father also knows that the fourth brother has been clinging to his son since he was a child. As a joke, the fourth brother can be said to be brought up by the son when the father is away. The son knows that the fourth brother is smart, but he has never had a chance. Show yourself. Now that the father gives the fourth brother this opportunity, he will surely become a blockbuster."

Chen Qun stood with his head down, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Cao Cao stared sideways at the son.

This face has always been gentle and honest in front of him, and it is also tolerant and loving towards his younger brothers.He had always admired this face, but at this moment he suddenly couldn't understand what the colors in it represented.

——Even the younger brother who gets along day and night can get rid of without changing his face, cover up his motives with self-injury, and more cleverly frame other brothers.Such a person is sinister enough and ruthless enough.But with such a disposition, he is not a perfect candidate for the son of the world.

Cao Cao cut off the thoughts in his mind and covered up all the complexities in his eyes.

Cao Pi still had a gentle smile on his face.

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left: "It's best for you to think like this. I still have some things to do for my father, so I left first. Second, you should take good care of your illness and read more of these scrolls. When you are well, I will do my best for you." Father's work."

Cao Pi bowed and said, "Thank you father!"

Chen Qun also bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao looked back and saw Cao Pi kept bowing his head and bowing to see him off respectfully, he finally sighed slightly and walked away.
