Cao Cao originally wanted to invite Xun Yu and Guo Jia to come over to discuss the grudge between Yang Ling and Cao Pi.
But then I thought about it, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Yang Ling had a good relationship, so they might be biased towards Yang Ling.
So he planned to invite Jia Xu.
But then I thought about it. Although Jia Xu would not be biased towards Yang Ling, he was tactful and always protected himself wisely.
I'm afraid I can't give you any good ideas.
So after much thought, Cao Cao finally decided to call Cheng Yu.
After all, among all the counselors under him, Cheng Yu had a violent personality, couldn't get along with others, and was the most loyal to him.
Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and then said,
"Wei Gong, I dare to ask, do you intend for the crown prince to succeed you?"
"It's natural."
Cao Cao nodded without thinking.
If he didn't have this intention, why would he make Cao Pi his heir apparent?
"In that case, there's nothing more to say."
Cheng Yu smiled faintly,
"Not to mention today, even if there is a conflict between Wu Guan Zhonglang and the Crown Prince in the future, Wei Gong will still help the Crown Prince."
"After all, the crown prince... is the future of the Cao family!"
Cao Cao was shocked.
Yes, what Cheng Yu said is absolutely correct, Cao Pi is his son and the one who will inherit the entire Cao family in the future!
Even if Yang Ling marries Cao Qing, she is still an outsider after all!
"I understand."
Cao Cao let out a long breath.
"But Wei Gong doesn't have to worry, after all, the talents of the general with five senses are there. His talents will still be needed in the future campaigns against Jingzhou and Jiangdong."
Cheng Yu smiled.
"What Zhongde said is absolutely true. It's getting late. Zhongde should go back and rest quickly."
Cao Cao called Dian Wei in and ordered him to send Cheng Yu back.
After Cheng Yu left, Cao Cao looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh.
If Yang Ling was his son, then he wouldn't have to be so entangled.
With his talents, he can surely dominate the world and make the Cao family even more glorious!
what a pity!
…
Yang Ling didn't know that Cao Cao wanted to be his father.
At this time, he came to the side courtyard of the mansion and quietly knocked on a door.
"Who is outside the door?"
Zhen Mi's pleasant voice came from the room.
"It's for my husband."
Yang Ling smiled.
"Ah, is it your husband?"
Zhen Mi quickly opened the door and welcomed Yang Ling in.
"Husband, you...why are you here?"
"I came to see you, why, you don't welcome me?"
Yang Ling asked with a smile.
The purpose of his coming here tonight was to comfort Zhen Mi.
Not to mention his affair with the Zhen family, it was deliberately staged for Cao Pi.
Even if it were true, he, Yang Ling, was not a ruthless person.
How could he anger Zhen Mi because of Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao?
"I didn't mean that, but in this case, my husband's plan will most likely be discovered by outsiders."
Zhen Mi said cautiously.
"Has your brother told you?"
Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.
He deliberately fell out with Zhen Yao in order to place the Zhen family next to Cao Pi.
No one knew about the whole thing except him, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yun, and the two brothers of the Zhen family.
"No."
Zhen Mi shook her head.
"Then how did you know?"
Yang Ling was even more surprised.
"This is all my guess."
Zhen Mi smiled sheepishly,
"My husband is not a petty person."
"My two brothers are not ignorant people."
"But they chose to seek refuge with the prince who was at odds with their husbands, and they are still causing trouble like this today."
"So I speculate that my husband wants the two brothers to pretend to join the crown prince for future considerations."
"Because of this, I took the initiative to move to the side courtyard today to coordinate with my husband's banquet."
After hearing this, Yang Ling was completely shocked!
Unexpectedly, Zhen Mi guessed the whole story based on clues and actively cooperated.
Such a smart, gentle and considerate woman is really hard to find!
However, Cao Pi in history did not know how to cherish her and sent her to death after he ascended the throne.
This bastard deserves to die young!
"Madam is really gentle and virtuous, but she will wrong you next."
Yang Ling touched Zhen Mi's little hand and said softly.
"As long as it's for my husband, I'm willing to do anything."
Zhen Mi said with a hint of shyness.
She and Yuan Xi had a political marriage, and with Yuan Xi serving as the governor of Youzhou, the two were often separated from each other.
Therefore, the relationship between husband and wife is quite indifferent.
However, after following Yang Ling, Yang Ling took good care of her and took care of her in every possible way.
In addition, Yang Ling came from a later age, and there is no machismo.
The longer they get along, the more devoted Zhen Mi becomes to Yang Ling.
"Is it?"
Yang Ling teased and took Zhen Mi into his arms, his restless hands already reaching for her hips.
"Madam, don't forget the promise you made when we played mahjong last time?"
"I...I obey my husband in everything."
Zhen Mi felt her face was hot, she buried her pretty face in Yang Ling's chest and said softly.
Yang Ling smiled evilly, picked up Zhen Mi by the waist, and walked to the bed.
Suddenly, the whole house is filled with spring!
…
The conflict between Yang Ling and the Zhen family soon spread throughout the court.
But no one expected that this matter would not cause too much trouble.
Yang Ling acted as if nothing had happened and remained reclusive.
However, the Zhen family relied on Cao Pi's support to monopolize the entire tobacco business.
Cao Cao had no intention of intervening in this matter.
Many courtiers were discussing in private that Cao Cao felt that Yang Ling was too powerful and would be a hidden danger to Cao Pi's future accession to the throne, so he acquiesced in Cao Pi's suppression of Yang Ling.
Some officials who took advantage of the situation have begun to show their loyalty to Cao Pi.
…
After a while, Cao Qing, Mi Zhen, and Huang Yueying also gave birth one after another, giving Yang Ling two sons and one daughter.
Among them, Mi Zhen gave birth to the eldest daughter, and Yang Ling named her Yang Lan.
The eldest son born to Cao Qing was named Yang Yuan.
The second son born to Huang Yueying is named Yang Yue.
The names of the two sons were chosen from Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, and Yang Ling also hoped that their moral character would be as deep as the abyss and as high as the mountains.
Yang Ling, who had been a father for two generations and became a father for the first time, was also in a happy mood.
On the day when the child was one month old, he specially ordered a banquet.
Officials who were good friends with him in the DPRK came to congratulate him one after another.
The entire Yang Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.
Even after Cao Cao found out about this, he brought Cao Pi and came to congratulate him in person!
He held Yang Yuan carefully, his old face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, how could he look like the powerful tycoon he had been in the past?
While everyone was enjoying themselves, Xu Chu quickly ran in from outside.
He walked up to Cao Cao and whispered a few words.
Cao Cao's face darkened and his eyes flashed.
"Father, what happened?"
Cao Pi asked softly on the side.
Yang Ling, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others all looked at Cao Cao.
