Chapter 433: Great Loyal Minister
Cao Pi and others looked up and saw that it was Chen Qun on the horse's back.
Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Wu Zhi and Zhu Shuo were called the four friends of Cao Pi. This time, Cao Pi guarded Yecheng, and the three of them followed him.
But Chen Qun was highly valued by Cao Cao, so he stayed in Xudu.
Seeing that he was not here, Xu Du stayed well, but came to find him and shouted that something was wrong, Cao Pi's heart sank immediately!
"What happened to the long article (Chen Qun's font size)?"
Chen Qun jumped off the horse's back, and was out of breath.
"Early morning today, the Marquis of Yanling led an army of 10,000 to Xudu and asked the army to enter the city!"
"What?!"
Cao Pi was anxious and angry.
He had heard before that his younger brother, who was the same father and mother, had insignificant thoughts about the position of prince.
But he didn't take it seriously, after all, he was the prince.
But what I never expected was that when his father Cao Cao just passed away, Cao Zhang would lead a large army to Xudu day and night!
"Prince, don't be impatient!"
Sima Yi comforted Cao Pi and asked again,
"What about the follow-up situation? Has the Marquis of Yanling led his army into the city?"
"Nothing."
Chen Qun shook his head.
"That's good!"
As long as Cao Zhang is in the city, the situation will be controlled.
But Cao Pi just breathed a sigh of relief and heard Chen Qun say again,
"The General of the Conquest South went to the outside of the city to greet him. After the two talked, the Marquis of Yanling asked the army to be stationed outside the city, and then they went to the Wei Palace to celebrate the filial piety together."
"According to the servants of the royal palace, after the filial piety was finished, the General of the Conquest South met with the Marquis of Yanling in private!"
When Cao Pi heard this, his scalp suddenly became numb!
Compared with Yang Ling and Cao Zhang’s private meeting, he would rather see Cao Zhang leading his army into the city!
Cao Zhang has military power in his hands, and Yang Ling has prestige in the court and the country!
Once the two unite, Cao Pi will inherit the position of prince!
"Zhongda, what should I do if... this is done?"
Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi with some fear and anxiety.
Sima Yi was also quite troubled.
Yang Ling alone is extremely difficult to deal with.
Now that Cao Zhang is added, they have no chance of winning!
Sima Yi paced back and forth, pondered for a long time, and then he said,
"Crown Prince, according to my subordinates, we still have to go to Xudu!"
"If I go, wouldn't I fall into the trap?"
Wu Zhi, who was standing aside, objected.
"Then tell me, if we don't go to Xudu, what should we do?"
Sima Yi asked back.
Wu Zhi's words were stagnant and he didn't know how to answer.
"Criminal, everyone, why do we have to lose our straits?"
Sima Yi patiently explained,
"We are not sure at the moment. Yang Ling and Marquis Yanling colluded with each other."
"Under this situation, if the prince doesn't go to Xu Du to attend the funeral, it's just giving Yang Ling an excuse and a handle!"
Everyone, including Cao Pi, nodded slightly.
As Sima Yi said, if Yang Ling did not join forces with Cao Zhang and Cao Pi did not go to Xu Du to attend the funeral, he would be criticized for being unfilial.
"What if they really collude?"
Zhu Shuo asked again.
"Then we should go even more!"
Sima Yi smiled confidently,
"Even if the prince returns to Yecheng and summons all four troops to attack Yang Ling and Yanling Marquis, do you think the prince will be Yang Ling's opponent?"
When everyone thought about it, the same is true.
Cao Zhang is already brave and good at fighting, and Yang Ling, who has a plot against ghosts and gods, is even more fucked by this battle!
"Instead of that, we might as well take the initiative to go to Xudu."
"You must know that in the court, there are the emperor, Xun Lingjun, and Guomingting Marquis... Yang Ling's turn is not the turn to cover the sky with one hand!"
"Before the death of King Wei, he said that if the prince was not virtuous, he would ask Yang Ling to support others."
"But the prince has not made any mistakes at the moment. How could Yang Ling have an excuse to destroy the prince?"
"The King of Wei was as kind as a mountain when he was alive. Now the King of Wei's body is not cold. If he really dares to do this, wouldn't the people in the world scold him to death?"
After listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Cao Pi, who was already nervous, gradually felt relieved!
He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth,
"As Zhongda said, let's go to Xudu!"
After Cao Pi and his group rested for a while, they set out on the journey again.
After a rapid journey, they finally arrived in Xudu City in the evening.
Looking at Xu Ducheng, who was silent like a monster in the distance, Cao Pi felt a little ups and downs.
He didn't know what was waiting for him in the city.
At this moment, the gate of Xudu suddenly opened and a team of cavalry rushed out.
Cao Pi was shocked and thought that Yang Ling was sent to capture him, so he planned to turn around and run away on the spot.
But Sima Yi held Cao Pi's reins and said in a deep voice,
"Criminal keep it safe, don't lose face!"
Seeing the other party getting closer, Cao Pi made up his mind and gave up the idea of escaping.
After the cavalry approached, the group noticed that Yang Ling, Xun Yu and others were the ones in the lead.
"We have seen the prince!"
Everyone saluted Cao Pi first, and Yang Ling followed,
"It is really a pity for the King of Wei to leave. But the family should not be without a master for a day, and the country should not be without a king for a day."
"Please ask the prince to take his seat earlier to stabilize the situation!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Pi, Sima Yi and others were shocked!
Yang Ling brought people to come in person, and actually persuaded Cao Pi to take his seat earlier?
"Crown Prince?"
Yang Ling called Cao Pi softly.
Cao Pi came to his senses and said excitedly,
"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, oh no, the General of the Conquest South is really an important minister of the court, my Cao family..."
He was so excited that he was even a little incoherent. It was not until Sima Yi next to him pulled his clothes that he calmed down.
"I'll talk about it after taking my position. It's urgent to go and worship my father!"
"Abide by the crown prince's orders."
Yang Ling and others made way for the road, and surrounded Cao Pi into the city like stars arching the moon.
Soon they came to the Wei Palace. Cao Pi, like Cao Zhang, knelt down in front of Cao Cao's coffin, crying too much!
Cao Zhang stood aside, his face a little embarrassed.
He looked up at Yang Ling, but Yang Ling seemed to have not seen it, just watching coldly.
Cao Pi, Cao Pi, for the sake of stability in the world, I have taken the overall situation into consideration and chose to support you as the leader. Don’t let me down!
Yang Ling thought to himself.
After Cao Pi paid homage to Cao Cao, he visited Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian summoned everyone in the side hall.
"As the general who conquered the south said outside the city, now Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others are seizing Sichuan and Shu, and there is Liu Bei in the south, and Sun Quan is not obedient to the commander of the court."
"State affairs are in critical condition, and the mountains and rivers are broken."
"I hope the prince can take his seat soon!"
Xun Yu came to Cao Pi with a box containing Cao Cao's seal.
Looking at this little box representing supreme power, Cao Pi's heart was surging and his hands were trembling!
"This prince is very virtuous and talented, and he is not able to bear this important task. But the general of the Southern Conquest, Xun Lingjun is so optimistic about me, so I can only reluctantly..."
