Cao Zhi is talented and talented.
Although he is not very good at political struggles, he also knows that there is only a short-term peace in Cao Wei's court.
Yang Linggui was the general of the imperial court, with power over both the government and the public. He also had Pang Tong and many other close followers.
Be it Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, or other descendants of the Cao family.
No matter who becomes the emperor, Yang Ling's existence is a threat to them!
But relatively speaking, Cao Zhi has a gentle temperament and has a good relationship with Yang Ling.
Once Cao Zhi dies due to illness, it is difficult to say that the new emperor will not make the same mistake as Cao Pi.
And if Yang Ling is pushed into a hurry, I am afraid that the Cao Wei kingdom will change hands.
So Cao Zhi had the idea of adopting Yang Yuan.
The ancient adoption system was not as loose as the marriage system of later generations, but was extremely strict.
Any adopted child must sever ties with his biological parents, and the adoptive parents are his parents in the legal sense.
For example, Yuan Shao was originally born to Yuan Feng and was half-brother to Yuan Shu.
But later he was adopted to his uncle Yuan Cheng, and he and Yuan Shu became cousins.
But even if Yang Yuan severed his relationship with Yang Ling, in the final analysis, he was still Yang Ling's son.
With this relationship, Cao Zhi doesn't have to worry about Yang Ling grabbing the throne, and Yang Ling won't kill his son!
In this way, all the troubles will disappear in an instant!
After hearing Cao Zhi's suggestion, Yang Ling's eyes also lit up.
If he had reached this stage, if he had not usurped the power of Cao Wei, there would be no guarantee that the emperor would not attack his family if he were not around in the future.
Moreover, even if he doesn't want to seize the throne, those under him will force him to seize the throne.
And Cao Zhi's suggestion is undoubtedly the most appropriate.
After Yang Ling pondered for a moment, he asked softly,
"May I ask, Your Majesty, who proposed it to you?"
"To be honest, he is the Taiwei."
It turned out to be Jia Xu.
Yang Ling suddenly realized that only Lao Yin and Jia Xu could come up with such a method.
Seeing that he was silent, Cao Zhi was a little anxious.
"Isn't my brother-in-law unwilling?"
"Your Majesty opens his mouth, how can I refuse?"
Yang Ling smiled and nodded in agreement.
"So good!"
Cao Zhi was overjoyed.
"I will send someone to invite the Queen Mother and the others tomorrow. I want to announce this in public!"
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Ling stood up immediately.
Under the protection of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, he walked out of the palace.
"It's been a big thank you to my brother-in-law for all these years."
Yang Ling chuckled and said to Zhen Yao beside him.
"General, you're welcome. It's a blessing for me to be able to contribute to the general."
Zhen Yao said modestly.
"My own people don't have to be so polite."
Yang Ling patted his shoulder and smiled,
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't treat the Zhen family badly."
Hearing this, Zhen Yao immediately felt relieved.
After they parted at the intersection, Yang Ling quickly returned to his mansion.
However, he did not go directly to see Cao Qing, but went straight to a remote yard behind the house.
"Dong dong dong."
Yang Ling gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"My husband is here to see you, please open the door quickly."
Yang Ling replied.
As soon as the words fell, a faint sound of footsteps was heard, and then the door opened, revealing Zhen Mi's pretty face.
"Husband...jun, you...why are you here?"
She looked at Yang Ling in surprise.
"From now on, my wife can be by my husband's side openly."
Yang Ling smiled slightly.
The spies of the school affairs office can be said to be pervasive.
In order to prevent Cao Pi from becoming suspicious of the Zhen family, Yang Ling had been neglecting Zhen Mi in the past few years.
Until today, Cao Pi died, the Zhen family no longer had to lurk, and Yang Ling finally no longer had to worry so much.
"Husband, I...are you not dreaming?"
Zhen Mi's red lips trembled slightly, and there were tears in her beautiful eyes.
"Of course you're not dreaming."
Yang Ling took a step forward and took her into his arms.
Zhen Mi hugged him tightly and whispered in a soft voice,
"Husband, you want me to..."
Yang Ling no longer hesitated, picked her up by the waist, and walked inside while closing the door tightly.
After a long wait, the dry fertile soil finally received the rain.
Along with the sound of wind and rain, spring quietly sneaks into the room.
…
I don't know how long it took before Zhen Mi fell asleep.
Yang Ling stood up carefully and closed the door.
When he came to the lobby and saw Guo Zhao waiting for him, he ordered,
"When we move Mrs. Zhen out of the remote area later, we must take good care of her."
"I know it."
Guo Zhao nodded in agreement.
Yang Ling immediately walked towards the backyard and soon arrived at Cao Qing's room.
It happened that Cao Qing had not rested yet. When she saw Yang Ling coming back, she couldn't help but smile and said,
"Husband, why don't you spend more time with Sister Zhen?"
Zhen Mi was willing to stay in the empty house for Yang Ling for so many years and sacrificed a lot, and Cao Qing also saw it.
"I think about it for my husband, but I have something important to do for my husband."
Yang Ling sighed and sat down.
"What is it that troubles you so much, husband?"
Cao Qing sat in his arms and said doubtfully.
Yang Ling told Cao Qing exactly what happened in the palace today.
After learning that Cao Pi was shot to death by random arrows, Cao Qing's red lips slightly opened, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.
"Zihuan...he is actually dead..."
"It's not anyone else's fault."
Yang Ling had no intention of telling Cao Qing the truth about Cao Pi's death.
"Hey, that's fine. I hope my husband can bury Zihuan alive."
Cao Qing's beautiful eyes turned slightly red and she sighed.
After all, Cao Pi was also her brother, so how could she feel better?
Yang Ling comforted her for a few words, and then told her about Cao Zhi's intention to adopt Yang Yuan.
"This is the only way to prevent the Wei Dynasty from falling apart..."
Yang Ling originally thought that Cao Qing would flatly refuse, but unexpectedly, she only hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Seeing his surprised look, Cao Qing explained,
"My husband always has his own considerations when doing things, and I will obey him in everything."
"Besides, letting Yuan'er adopt Zijian can also leave him with a heir. In the future, Yuan'er can become a great figure in the Ninth Five-Year Plan."
"As for the two of us, I can still give birth, so why not do it?"
Hearing what she said, Yang Ling suddenly smiled happily,
"If you have such a wife, what more can a husband ask for?"
"Forget it, while it's still early, madam, let's make another baby quickly..."
As Cao Qing screamed, Yang Ling picked her up.
…
Early the next morning, Emperor Cao Zhi sent people to summon the Queen Mother Bian and all the courtiers to the palace.
In front of everyone, he told everyone about his intention to adopt Yang Ling's son, Yang Yuan.
After everyone heard this, they were shocked at first, but they were relieved after they figured it out.
After all, this is the best way to avoid bloodshed in the court in the future!
Whether it was the generals who supported Yang Ling or the courtiers who were loyal to Cao Wei, they all agreed.
