The first thousand and eighty-one chapters have long been designed
Now the country is developing in a good direction, the barren land is recovering, and the displaced refugees are returning home one after another. In the areas ruled by Cao Zhi, people in many places have already lived a life of ample food and clothing.
These actions of the Fu family father and daughter were pushing the gradually stable country back into chaos. Xun Yu seriously warned Fu Wan and Queen Fu not to overestimate their capabilities and do some unwise actions that would involve all the nine clans.
Xun Yu's words turned Fan Pu's face to dust. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground to plead guilty as soon as Xun Yu finished speaking. He was in panic all day long, explaining that he was just delivering the letter and did not know the content of the letter.
Xun Yu was always magnanimous. Seeing Fan Pu's panic, he said to him: "Go back and tell the Queen and General Fu. Wen Ruo will pretend that he didn't see or hear anything today. I also hope that the Queen and General Fu will
Just forget what happened today, I will mention it again in the future."
Fan Pu hurried away with Xun Yu's response. Fan Pu was so panicked that he left the silk handkerchief he had just used to wipe his sweat on the mat.
Xun Yu slowly put away the silk handkerchief and prepared to return it to Fan Pu later. At the same time, he also began to silently reflect on whether Cao Zhi was a wise master or a thief who only wanted to "replace the Han Dynasty".
The final answer is of course yes, Cao Zhi is a wise man. What Cao Zhi is doing now, the policies he is pursuing, and the actions he takes to quell the chaos are all the actions of a wise man who wants to put the country on the right track and change the fate of countless dying people.
.
Moreover, Cao Zhi definitely valued Xun Yu no less than he did when he was under Cao Cao. Not only did Cao Zhi love and trust Xun Yu, an old minister of Cao Cao, very much, he not only entrusted him with all major national affairs during the expedition, but also last year
He proposed to Xun Yu that he should add another official position and be the Taifu among the three princes. But in the end, many people in the court had to give up because Xun Yu had no military exploits. However, Cao Zhi still asked the emperor to grant him another thousand households.
In addition, in order to consolidate their relationship, Cao Zhi reconfirmed the marriage of Cao Cao's eldest daughter and Xun Yu's eldest son as his uncle this year. They only waited for the two children to reach the age of two before they officially got married. Cao and Xun Yu
The family will become a family of sons and daughters, and in order to show the dignity of this marriage in the future, Cao Zhi specially requested a princess title for his niece, and the emperor also granted his future daughter-in-law, Xun Yu, the title of Princess Anyang.
As Cao Zhi's absolute confidant, Xun Yu had great doubts and hesitations about whether to report this matter to Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi was so kind to him, it seemed that Xun Yu should report this matter to the "Queen's Secret Letter"
"The incident was exposed in order to repay the kindness shown to him by two generations of the Cao family.
But soon Xun Yu thought of the promise he had just made to Fan Pu, and was worried that once the matter was revealed, Cao Zhi would definitely start another bloody storm with Cao Zhi's sad state of mind after experiencing Dong Cheng's incident. Last time, more than a dozen ministers were killed.
A state head, several concubines and a stillborn royal family member were dead. Xun Yu didn't want to see another bigger massacre, and this time it was the queen's family. If it was really because of Xun Yu's informant,
If these people were implicated and died in vain, then the infamy of being a sinner through the ages would probably be stuck on his head forever.
In the end, Xun Yu decided to bear the secret alone and not let anyone know about it. While avoiding the bloody storm, it was also another way to serve the Cao family and be loyal to the Han Dynasty.
But soon, as Cao Zhi led his army to conquer Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Queen Xu Dufu's actions in the harem became more and more intense, and everything even developed beyond Xun Yu's imagination.
At first, Xun Yu only heard that Empress Fu instigated the emperor to frequently meet with some ministers, such as Kong Rong, who were interested in making irresponsible remarks on some of Cao Zhi's political opinions. Later, he even promoted this person to an official position. Empress Fu actively created a situation where Emperor Xian clearly gathered some officials who dared to
The "virtuous ministers" who spoke against him were by his side and became his confidants. Soon, news spread that Emperor Xian and Empress Fu personally met Cao Pi in the palace.
Originally, in order to show his favor, the emperor met with the eldest son of the late general, and there was nothing wrong with it. But the content of the meeting that reached Xun Yu's ears made Xun Yu suddenly raise his worries.
Throat.
I heard that when the Emperor and Empress Fu hosted a banquet for Cao Pi in the palace, they mentioned "ZTE, coups and various futures of the country." I heard that the words became more and more intense as they talked, and the emperor and his ministers would sometimes cry and sometimes laugh when they talked deeply.
, many topics are very explicit and intense.
Xun Yu didn't care what kind of commotion the young Emperor Xian and the ignorant queen could stir up, but when it came to the same young and impulsive Cao Pi, something was wrong. Xun Yu could no longer sit still. No matter what, Cao Cao had to rely on him
In other words, whether as Cao Pi's elder or because of his kindness to the late Cao Cao, he was ready to take care of the matter and remind Cao Pi not to mislead others or himself.
Xun Yu was about to have a good talk with Cao Pi. He should not let this young master be instigated by others and go astray.
But what surprised Xun Yu was that before Xun Yu went to see Cao Pi, Cao Pi took the initiative to visit him.
And as soon as he got started, he said to Xun Yu: "I know all the warnings Uncle Xun wants to give me!"
Xun Yu was suddenly confused by Cao Pi, a half-year-old child, and the hunch in his heart also told him that things might be bad.
Sure enough, Cao Pi then revealed all his plans. In fact, what Xun Yu heard and saw was done through Cao Pi's instructions and to Cao Zhi's informants and Xun Yu. His purpose was simply to get Xun Yu
Worry about him, worry about the secret hidden in his heart, and remind him not to forget his father Cao Cao's instructions to him.
When Xun Yu heard these words from the teenage Cao Pi, his heart skipped a beat. Not only was he confused, but he almost fainted.
Then Xun Yu immediately asked one by one from Queen Fu's secret letter to whether the recent changes in the palace were all caused by Cao Pi behind the scenes. Cao Pi even said "yes" several times without hesitation, and answered
A correct and affirmative answer.
"You, you..."
Xun Yu didn't expect that a half-grown child would be so scheming. At this moment, Xun Yu suddenly understood that he had been set up. And it was set up by a half-grown child. This child was Cao Pi, whom he had always wanted to protect.
"Do you know that doing this is treasonous?" He quickly thought of Cao Pi's purpose of setting him up to unknowingly join his trap - it should be to deal with Cao Pi's biological uncle Cao Zhi.
"I know!" Cao Pi continued to answer his question with an attitude and tone that exceeded Xun Yu's imagination.
All this made Xun Yu feel more and more crazy, but Cao Pi became calmer and calmer, and faced Xun Yu fiercely and said: "But this is all for the future of the Cao family, my father's last life... I
Do you think Uncle Xun has not forgotten my father’s last instructions because of Cao Zhi’s generous reward?”
Cao Pi's straightforward and threatening tone made Xun Yu shudder. He never knew how much Cao Pi knew about the secret message Cao Cao left with him. Even if he knew, how much a child in his teens could understand about the future at that time.
But what Xun Yu didn't expect was that Cao Pi not only knew that Cao Cao had left a will for him to inherit the Cao family in the future, but also knew how to operate secretly at a young age, using all capital to stir up trouble and create a situation at the critical moment.
He is plotting an opportunity to overthrow his own uncle.
This scheming, this resourcefulness is truly something no one could have expected or imagined.
Xun Yu was so frightened by a half-year-old child that he broke into a cold sweat for the first time in his life. He was worrying about gains and losses. Cao Pi pressed further and said, "Uncle Xun, don't you think my uncle has changed in the past few years? He is becoming less and less like us.
Not only does he deliberately exclude the meritorious service and promotion opportunities of our Cao family members, but he also becomes more and more wary of the people around him. I believe that sooner or later he will know about my father's death, and by then he will
He will ruthlessly eradicate us in order to preserve his status and interests. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to act early and take our destiny into our own hands than to expect him to give us a way out.
good."
Cao Pi's talk was definitely beyond his actual age, which made Xun Yu's whole body tremble with coldness in the deepest part of his soul, and he lost his mind.
"This day is finally coming!" But Xun Yu didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
"Sooner or later we have to face this day, Uncle Xun, you and I can't escape my father's arrangements. Uncle Xun, you have to understand this, this is our fate!" Cao Pi had no intention of coming to discuss anything with Xun Yu.
, but directly showed his cards and gave orders.
Xun Yu gradually calmed down. He had always naively thought that this incident that could be avoided and evaded would eventually come. Indeed, as Cao Pi said, he would not be able to escape the fate of this Cao family dispute in his life.
And he has to become a key figure in it.
"Do you think there is any chance of success with your current strength?" Xun Yu stopped looking at Cao Pi in front of him, slowly closed his eyes, and after taking a long breath, he asked quietly.
"Not even one level! But with your card, as long as we use it well, we will be five points sure!" Cao Pi said confidently.
"Haha... Okay, well done! You are worthy of being called the father of a tiger without a dog son, and you are worthy of being the son of Duke Cao!" The "Gong Cao" Xun Yu was referring to at this time was of course Cao Cao, and he did not put him away because of Cao Pi.
He was treated as a card and felt the slightest irritation. Because he was not qualified, ever since he stepped into the door of the Cao Group, it was already destined that Xun Yu today would not be able to escape this dispute.
Indeed, he has always been a card, a card manipulated in the hands of others, not a person. It's just that the manipulator is constantly changing: at first he worked for Cao Cao, now he works for Cao Zhi, and soon he will
Be loyal to Cao Pi. His fate was decided a long time ago, and he has already lost himself.
