Seeing Yang Xiu falling into thought, Cao Zhi couldn't help but say eagerly:

"Dezu, Dezu, what's wrong with you?"

Under Cao Zhi's call, Yang Xiu stood up and sighed:

"Gongzi, take care of yourself."

"Subordinates have other matters to deal with."

With that, Yang Xiu said goodbye to Cao Zhi.

Looking at Yang Xiu's fading back

Even if Cao Zhi's political wisdom was low, he realized that something was wrong at this moment.

Soon.

A violent sound of footsteps sounded outside the house.

A large number of Tiger Guard soldiers turned back again.

The person at the head is Xu Chu.

Looking at Cao Zhi, Xu Chu's eyes were complicated:

"Zijian Gongzi, the lord is looking for you, come with us."

Cao Zhi was silent.

If Lao Cao was just looking for him in a normal state, he wouldn't have sent Xu Chu over at all.

Now.

Xu Chu came here with a large number of Tiger Guard soldiers, which was enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.

When Cao Zhi came to the Prime Minister's House.

I found that there was no one else in the main hall except Lao Cao.

In other words, Lao Cao was only looking for him Cao Zhi specifically this time.

Instead of even calling Cao Pi, Cao Chang and others over.

"Sit down."

Old Cao said casually.

Cao Zhi did not dare to get too close to Old Cao, and sat down on the left side by the door.

But before he could take his seat.

I saw that Lao Cao's face suddenly changed drastically, and he scolded sharply:

"Cao Zijian, sit closer to the old man."

"Let the old man take a good look at the look on your face."

Hearing this, Cao Zhi was so frightened that his legs and feet weakened, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

But under the deterrence of Old Cao, Cao Zhi still sat forward.

The distance from Lao Cao also became closer.

"Cao Zijian, the old man heard that Cui Yan has been in frequent contact with you recently?"

Cao Zhi knew that Old Cao was not a fool, so he had to answer truthfully:

"Cui Yan is quite suitable for children in the way of poetry."

28 Recently, children have often discussed the way of poetry with Cui Yan."

Cao Zhi racked his brains and made up nonsense in a serious way.

Suddenly.

Lao Cao slammed the case on the table in front of him.

I saw that the inkstone placed on the table bounced straight out.

Although it did not hit Cao Zhi's head, it also caused Cao Zhi's chest pain.

"Cao Zijian, Cao Zijian."

"The old man thought that even if you were stupid in political means, you would not be bad."

"But what are you doing?"

"Cui Yan and you got together to discuss poetry?"

"Hehe, didn't you Cao Zijian deceive the old man as a fool?"

"That Cui Yan and Chen Qun, one of the bandits who paid to hire Mangtang Mountain, and the other provided geographical convenience."

"The two of them, they want to kill your eldest nephew!"

"What kind of role do you Cao Zijian play in this?"

The voice fell.

Cao Zhi sweated coldly.

Not only Cui Yan, but Chen Qun was all found out.

This is enough to prove that Lao Cao already knew the whole process of Cui Yan's intention to ambush Cao Zhi.

Is it really useful to continue to struggle?

Cao Zhi was prodded.

Compared to Cao Pi, his state of mind was more than a little worse.

In this coercive environment, it is really difficult to persist.

Thereupon.

Cao Zhi knelt down with a "poof" and explained everything.

Lao Cao nodded noncommittally.

Cao Zhi did not directly plan to kill Cao Ying, but he was also an insider.

How to dispose of Cao Zhi, Lao Cao has not thought clearly in his heart for the time being.

He did have some reluctance to kill Cao Zhi, but Cao Zhi acted as an insider of the ambush of Cao Ying.

This made Lao Cao fundamentally dislike Cao Zhi.

Subsequently.

Old Cao ordered Cao Zhi to be imprisoned.

As for how to deal with Cao Zhi, Lao Cao planned to consult Cao Ying's opinion.

......

meanwhile

Chen Qun and Cui Yan also ended the "street action".

Just when the two thought that everything was going to end, the Tiger Guard suddenly appeared on the street corner.

They saluted Cao Ying:

"Young Master Ying, I will wait for the order of the Lord to put Chen Qun and Cui Yan in prison."

"After the conviction is completed, these two will be punished."

Cao Ying nodded.

It is certain that Cui Yan and Chen Qun will definitely not survive.

This is not only Lao Cao defending Cao Ying, but also defending his own authority!

The family although cattle ratio.

But this so-called cow ratio is based on the premise of not touching Lao Cao's bottom line and not violating the established rules.

Cui Yan and Chen Qun's act of hiring Mangtang Mountain thieves to ambush Cao Ying is undoubtedly provoking the prestige of Old Cao!

If Lao Cao does not dispose of these two.

Will more people follow suit?

Assassination, poisoning, assassination, in the circle of the family, these methods are not usually used.

Because once someone uses these means, the rest of the people will definitely learn and break the original rules!

At that time, everyone should not mix in the circle of the family.

It was simply renamed "Assassination Circle".

It's like a mushroom bomb in later generations.

Once any country throws out large mushrooms.

Other countries with large mushrooms must not be indifferent.

Therefore.

Chen Qun and Cui Yan, there is no reason to live.

As for the rest of the Chen family and the Cui family.

Except for Xun Yu's daughter, who has left the Chen family.

The rest of them, I'm afraid, won't end well.

The Qinghe Cui family and the Yingchuan Chen family, which have been in turmoil for hundreds of years, have been declared destroyed at this moment!

And Cao Ying.

It also left a huge psychological shadow in the hearts of other families in Cao Ying by destroying the Cui and Chen families!

......

The news that Cao Zhi was imprisoned by the old Cao soon reached the ears of Cao Pi and Cao Zhang.

After Xu Chu left with the Tiger Guards, Cao Pi and Cao Chang regained their personal freedom.

The two of them quickly gathered together to discuss the problem of Cao Zhi.

But.

Due to a lack of trust in Cao Pi.

Cao Zhang's tone of voice was full of gunpowder.

I saw that his eyebrows were raised, and his tone was cold:

"Cao Zihuan, Zijian was imprisoned by his father, did you hurt this matter?"

Asked by Cao Zhang, Cao Pi said helplessly:

"Cao Ziwen, you and I and Zijian are a joint relationship."

"Now that the cooperation has been reached, I will naturally not trip up in secret."

"But have you ever thought that Cao Zijian is hiding something from you and me?"

The voice fell.

Cao Chang frowned.

It was clear that he trusted Cao Zhi more than Cao Pi.

But recently, when Cao Chang visited Cao Zhi's mansion, Cao Zhi was always a little absent-minded.

At first, Cao Chang did not raise doubts.

I just think that maybe Cao Zhi's state is not good, and it will be better to rest for a while.

But now, after Cao Pi's reminder.

No matter how slow Cao Chang's reaction was, he realized the seriousness of the matter!

I saw him with a worried face:

"Zijian was imprisoned by his father, he must have done something that touched his father's bottom line."

Cao Zhang's words did not fall. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

I saw Sima Yi suddenly walk in from outside the door, his eyes looked at Cao Pi, and he said in a hurried tone:

"Master, Chen Qun has been sent to prison."

"The Chen family was also robbed by the public with the tiger and leopard."

"What!?"

It's like being struck by lightning.

Cao Pi instantly stayed where he was.

Chen Qun was the No. 2 dog-headed military division under him.

Old Cao generally does not send people to prison easily.

So far, almost none of those sent to prison have ended well.

For example, Bian Rang and Kong Rong all spent time in prison before they were killed.

Cao Zhi was imprisoned, although Cao Pi felt a little sad.

But after all, he only joined forces with Cao Zhi temporarily.

With each other, it is still a competitive relationship.

If Cao Zhi died, for Cao Pi, on the whole, the benefits still outweighed the disadvantages.

Because once Cao Zhi fell.

The Hebei Family Group, which was originally standing behind him, will definitely pour into Cao Pi's command.

It's as if the chairman of a company has been arrested.

Shareholders and managers who also own shares in the company have to find a way to keep the company going, right?

Defect to Cao Ying?

Perhaps some Hebei families with more active thinking will choose so.

But for the vast majority of traditional Hebei families, Cao Pi is still their best choice.

No way, after Cao Ang's death, Cao Pi became the titular eldest son of Old Cao.

In addition, Mrs. Bian, although there is no name for the main room, but there is the truth of the main room.

As a result, Cao Pi can almost be regarded as the eldest son.

It's just that this eldest son's moisture is a bit big, and at the same time, there are several heirs such as Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Chong competing to fight him.

But now.

After Cao Zhi, hearing the news that Chen Qun had also been caught, Cao Pi was directly stunned!

Isn't this the equivalent of eating melons on your own head?

More critically.

Cao Pi didn't know what Chen Qun had done!

Would Old Cao suspect that behind Chen Qun was his Cao Zihuan's instigation?

Thinking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but shudder.

"Zhongda, please help me!"

Cao Pi hurriedly asked Sima Yi on the side for help.

Sima Yi sighed slightly and said seriously:

"Lord, please tell the truth."

"Cui Yan and Chen Qun are really not aware of the conspiracy against Young Master Ying?"

Cao Pi wanted to cry without tears:

"Zhongda, if I really know, how could I not discuss this matter with you?"

The voice fell.

Sima Yi nodded.

Old Cao had a school office under him.

Once Cao Pi and Cui Yan and Chen Qun really colluded, when the matter was revealed, it would definitely be a disaster.

Since Cao Pi is not an insider, this matter is much easier.

I saw Sima Yi solemnly instructing Cao Pi:

"Master."

"So so... This catastrophe can be avoided! "

After listening, Cao Pi's eyes lit up.

As for Cao Chang on the side, he looked puzzled.

He also heard Sima Yi's countermeasures.

But in Cao Zhang's opinion, this countermeasure seems to be really some... Too humiliating.

It seemed to feel the doubtful gaze cast by Cao Zhang.

Sima Yi said with a smile:

"Ziwen Gongzi, there is also a suggestion below, I hope you can adopt it."

Hearing this, Cao Zhang's eyebrows 740 picked, and said suspiciously:

"Sima Yi, you can speak bluntly."

For Cao Zhang's temper and character, Sima Yi had already figured it out.

To put it bluntly, Cao Chang is a guy who looks like five big and three thick, but his ambition is not small!

All the time.

In the battle of heirs, Cao Changdu stood beside Cao Zhi with a clear banner and acted as Cao Zhi's pawn.

Even, in order for Cao Zhi to win, Cao Chang sometimes even took the initiative to stand up for Cao Zhi to carry the black pot!

In the eyes of the uninformed.

It may be thought that the brotherhood between Cao Chang and Cao Zhi is quite deep.

But actually?

Cao Zhi loves poetry, and Cao Chang likes to dance knives and guns.

One is joyful, the other is happy, and the personality and hobbies are completely different.

This is not to say that the two have no feelings at all.

It's compared to this brotherhood.

What attracted Cao Chang to take the initiative to act as Cao Zhi's shield was Cao Zhi's great benefit after becoming an heir!

As everyone knows.

Cao Zhi's political skills are not high, and his mood is far inferior to Cao Pi.

Once Cao Zhi inherited the great cause of Old Cao.

To lead troops to fight such a thing, Cao Zhi could not be willing to personally recruit.

At this time, Cao Zhang, who has always stood firmly beside Cao Zhi, will naturally be reused!

Even than.

The power in Cao Zhang's hands will instantly surpass any of the Xiahou Wei, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong in the Cao Cao era!

Become a real "Generalissimo of Cao Ying's Terracotta Army"!

This is the fundamental reason why Cao Chang is willing to do his best to support Cao Zhi.

If it is changed to supporting Cao Pi, it is obvious that with Cao Pi's scheming and skill, it is impossible to appoint Cao Chang with confidence.

That's the problem.

Why didn't Cao Chang go it alone?

Because there is no competitive advantage!

It is impossible for a family to favor a wufu.

This is a very realistic thing.

Just because Cao Zhi is very talented, it cannot be assumed that Cao Pi is not talented.

Cao Pi is also one of the "Three Cao of Jian'an".

There are no less famous articles and ways of governing the country left for future generations.

On the other hand, Cao Zhang, in the eyes of the family, is purely a "killing talent".

The two major factions of Hebei and Henan could not give up Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for no reason and instead support Cao Zhang.

Now.

I saw a meaningful smile flash in Sima Yi's eyes.

With a kind face, he bewitched Cao Zhang:

"Ziwen Gongzi, Zijian Gongzi this time, I am afraid that he will be in a catastrophe."

"You can't suffer with him."

"Is there a way for you to get the support of the group of people behind Zijian Gongzi, how?"
