Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Cao's face was ashen and he stared at Cao Pi coldly.
"Zihuan, what else do you have to say?"
As the Ling Yue Repeating Crossbow was a powerful weapon, military control was always strict.
Cao Ang ordered the school affairs office to follow this clue to investigate, and within half a day, they found out that the general in the army who was keeping the ordnance had secretly taken out the Lingyue Liannu.
The people from the school affairs office followed the clues and finally found Cao Pi!
"Yes, this is exactly what the child did!"
When Cao Pi saw that the matter was exposed, he stopped making excuses and admitted it directly.
"Treason!"
Cao Cao was so angry that he almost flew into a rage.
"Yang Ling is not only my father's important adviser, but also your brother-in-law. How dare you do such a cruel thing to him?!"
In the past, Cao Pi would have been too frightened to speak when faced with his furious father.
But now he has given up.
"Father, I think my ability is not inferior to that of Yang Ling! But just because the eldest brother is the eldest son, no matter how capable I am, I can't help my father solve his problems! So I don't accept it!"
"So you plan to kill Yang Ling and then compete with your elder brother?"
Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi in disbelief.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Cao Pi simply revealed all his plans.
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt angry and funny.
My son is really short-sighted!
"Zihuan intended to assassinate Mr. Although the crime is unforgivable, he still hopes that his father will give him leniency because he is young and ignorant."
Although he was extremely angry about Cao Pi's assassination of Yang Ling, Cao Ang, who had always been kind and honest, couldn't help but plead for him for the sake of his brothers.
Cao Cao remained silent.
If it were anyone else, he would have ordered their execution without hesitation.
But it was his son Cao Pi!
Although Cao Cao was cruel by nature and would massacre cities at every turn, he still couldn't do it because tigers are poisonous and don't eat their seeds!
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Ling aside, sighed and said,
"Zihuan did such a bad thing today, I plan to hand him over to Mr. Sir, who will deal with it!"
Yang Ling smiled faintly,
"My lord, as Mr. Zixiu said, Mr. Zihuan is just young, ignorant and impulsive. As long as you give him more training in the future, he will naturally be able to find his way back."
As soon as he said this, Cao Pi's eyes widened.
He tried to tease Yang Ling's woman earlier, and today he sent someone to assassinate Yang Ling.
I originally thought that Yang Ling would never let me go, but I didn't expect that he didn't intend to pursue it.
Yang Ling noticed Cao Pi's expression and curled his lips secretly.
If possible, he would certainly not let Cao Pi go.
However, Cao Cao left Cao Pi in his own hands, making it clear that he did not want to punish Cao Pi heavily.
How can I not know what I am interested in?
As expected, Cao Cao was obviously relieved and said with a smile,
"Sir, your kindness is really touching!"
"But even so, we can't spare him!"
"Zihuan, from today on, you go back to your hometown in Qiao County. If you dare to leave Qiao County without my father's orders, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Hearing this, Cao Pi, who was still secretly happy at first, suddenly felt like a basin of cold water being poured down from his head.
Even if he could not succeed Cao Cao before, he could at least enjoy the glory and wealth.
But if he was sent back to Qiao County, it would be the same as being imprisoned!
"Father……"
"Shut up! You will set sail today!"
Cao Cao didn't even look at Cao Pi, and said to Cao Ang beside him,
"Zixiu, send someone from the school affairs office to take Zihuan back to Qiao County and keep him under strict supervision. If anything goes wrong again, I will take it upon you!"
"Yes, father!"
Cao Ang saluted.
Cao Pi stood there blankly, his face ashen.
At this moment, he felt particularly annoyed in his heart.
Why should I listen to Yang Xiu and assassinate Yang Ling?
After Cao Pi was taken down, Yang Ling thought about it and said,
"Master Zihuan has a simple heart and would never come up with such a vicious plan. I am afraid that someone is instigating it behind my back. I hope the Prime Minister will find out."
"you are right."
Cao Cao nodded heavily and said to Cao Ang,
"Zixiu, you should also send someone immediately to find out who Zihuan interacted with and what they talked about!"
"clear!"
Cao Ang handed over and left.
Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he wanted to get rid of Cao Pi to vent his anger, that was obviously impossible.
Now that Cao Pi was driven back to his hometown in Qiao County, the forces around him were also uprooted, so he no longer had to worry about anything in the future.
"Prime Minister, that subordinate will take his leave first."
Yang Ling cupped his hands.
"That's fine, sir, go back and have a good rest."
Cao Cao smiled.
…
For the sake of Cao Cao's reputation, Yang Ling's assassination was not spread, and only a few people knew about it.
Those outsiders who didn't know the truth were extremely curious about Cao Pi being driven back to Qiao County.
Yang Ling rested at home for a few days, and Cao Cao sent someone to invite him over for discussion.
This time, in order to protect Yang Ling, not only Dian Wei and Xu Chu were dispatched, but also hundreds of people accompanied them.
The momentum was so great that many passers-by stopped to watch.
Prime Minister's Mansion, study room.
Cao Cao smiled pleasantly and said,
"I invite you here today for two reasons."
"Prime Minister, please give me your instructions."
"First thing, I plan to get you married to Qing'er on the sixth day of next month. What do you think?"
Yang Ling naturally had no objection to this point and nodded happily.
"The second thing is that the person who instigated Zihuan to assassinate Mr. Yang was none other than Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu!"
That day, when Yang Xiu went to see Cao Pi and suggested that he assassinate Yang Ling, a servant happened to hear him outside the door.
After some investigation, the school affairs office finally learned the truth from this servant.
Yang Biao's son, isn't that Yang Xiu?
Yang Ling was startled and said doubtfully,
"I have no grievances with Yang Xiu, so why did he persuade Cao Pi to assassinate me?"
"My husband has no grudge against him, but he does have grudge against Yang Biao."
Only then did Yang Ling suddenly realize.
Yang Biao was a staunch Han official and hated Cao Cao deeply.
He is Cao Cao's counselor and Cao Cao's son-in-law, and he even slept with Queen Fushou before.
It is reasonable for Yang Biao to want to get rid of him!
"How does the Prime Minister plan to deal with it?"
Yang Ling said softly.
"Old Yang Biao often opposes me, and he even makes friends with a large number of Han ministers in private. I just took this opportunity to eradicate him all!"
Cao Cao sneered again and again, his words filled with uncontrollable murderous intent.
Although everyone's surname was Yang, Yang Xiu dared to instigate Cao Pi to assassinate him, and Yang Ling was also angry with him.
Hearing that Cao Cao planned to take the opportunity to attack Yang Biao, Yang Ling naturally would not object.
"I plan to attack Yang Biao at the meeting tomorrow. You can go and see me when you introduce me, sir!"
Cao Cao smiled.
"My subordinates should go on their own."
Yang Ling nodded in agreement.
…
Early the next morning, Yang Ling got up early.
With Guo Zhao's help, he put on a brand new official robe.
Yang Ling glanced at the mirror, smiled and said to Guo Zhao,
"How does your husband look?"
