Yecheng.
After Sima Yi was reinstated, he still acted very low-key.
Even if he was scolded by the world and secretly mocked him for losing his noble character, he would just smile in return.
"How can a bunch of ignorant people know the importance of living!"
"As long as people are alive, there is hope for everything."
When Sima Yi faced Cao Pi, he became more and more respectful.
Although Cao Pi reminded Sima Yi many times, he regarded him as a friend.
Sima Yi was still respectful and distinguished the identities of monarch and minister. Although Cao Pi didn't say it on the surface, he was very happy in his heart.
After all, as Cao Cao's son, he is as suspicious as his father.
Sima Yi's performance made him very satisfied.
Just be a loyal dog, not a sycophant.
"Zhongda, do you think the Han family still has Guo Zuo?"
As soon as Cao Pi said this, Sima Yi's eyes lit up. He had long realized that Cao Pi had already had a tampering intention.
Now it's just because King Cao Cao of Wei is still alive, so he doesn't rush to implement it.
He could do such things as kill his wife and become jealous of his brothers, let alone usurp the Han Dynasty.
Sima Yi vaguely remembered that Cao Cao loved his youngest son Cao Chong.
As a result, one day, the young son was found dead from snake poison.
How could a poisonous snake suddenly appear in the palace of Prince Wei?
Although Cao Pi never revealed it, Sima Yi concluded that Jia Xu must have done such a vicious trick.
Jia Wen and this old fox have done so many dirty things for the prince, no wonder they can gain his trust.
"Your Majesty, the weather is with King Wei! The land is favorable to Soochow!"
"As for Liu Bei and his son, they are just cheating under the guise of harmony!"
"I would like to ask, who else in the world is more qualified to be crowned a great treasure than King Wei?"
Sima Yi's meaning is very simple. It's best to let me do things like becoming emperor. Don't bear this infamy.
Cao Pi frowned and said, "My father has been called a Han traitor all his life!"
"But he never thought of usurping the throne!"
"If I go to persuade him to become emperor, won't it ruin his reputation?"
Sima Yi whispered: "If the prince is worried, you can do this... wait for King Wei to be named emperor a hundred years later, and the prince will hold the enthronement ceremony again."
Let your own father take the blame for yourself.
The filial Cao Pi nodded decisively.
At that time, Cao Cao had long been reincarnated, so how could he still know about the affairs of the human world?
"Zhongda, Xun Yu is an eyesore!"
"After being insulted by Liu Changqing last time, you still want to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"
"If this person is still alive and I want to ascend the throne in the future, I'm afraid..."
After Cao Pi said this, Sima Yi already understood the meaning. The Crown Prince of Wei wanted Xun Yu to disappear.
"In this matter, unless the King of Wei doubts Xun Yu's loyalty, ordinary people will not be able to shake Xun Yu's position!"
Sima Yi said truthfully: "The prince only needs to do this... to make Xun Yu die and disappear, and no longer gain the trust of the King of Wei."
When Cao Pi heard this, he was very happy, "The one who knows me is Zhongdaye!"
After bidding farewell to Sima Yi, Cao Pi came to Cao Cao.
"Father, to be honest, if you pass away, our Cao family will have only two ways to go!"
"One is to completely stay away from the center of power and return power to the cowardly emperor."
"The second is to ask the Han Emperor to abdicate and make my Cao clan the emperor!"
As soon as Cao Pi said this, Cao Cao did not have any fluctuations. This was actually what he had expected.
Even if his descendants don't have these thoughts, don't those so-called loyal ministers and good generals also?
Cao Cao actually tried his best to suppress the ambitions of himself and his men.
Prime Minister, Duke of Wei, King of Wei!
Step by step, Cao Cao found that all his men were hungry wolves.
As long as they go higher, the more official positions and benefits they can get.
That's it for the aristocratic families. After all, no matter who becomes the emperor, they must be reused.
Nowadays, even the Cao family and Xiahou family members can't see the reason clearly.
Once the Cao family becomes emperor, they will no longer have the opportunity to develop into a gentry.
"What are your plans?"
"Father cannot directly proclaim himself emperor."
Cao Pi said with a guilty conscience: "You have sacrificed so much for the country and the country of the Han Dynasty. You are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"
"Let children do such a treacherous thing!"
"After my son becomes the emperor, he will posthumously make you the emperor."
When Cao Cao heard this, a sly smile appeared on his lips.
"Zihuan, when did you dare to show off your cleverness in front of Gu?"
Cao Cao stood up and slapped his son without hesitation.
Snapped!
"If you usurp and proclaim yourself emperor, then forget about it and be reviled by everyone in the world!"
"Now you have to pursue Feng Gu and let him be scolded along with you!"
"You are truly a filial son and grandson of the Cao family!"
Cao Pi was a little flustered at this time. He was acting according to Sima Yi's words. Why would his father beat him?
"But as you said, there are only two paths the Cao family can take."
"Liu Bei has such a good heir, so he has no worries at all."
"On the other hand, Gu...how did he give birth to a person as wolf-hearted as you?"
Cao Pi did not dare to talk back at all. In his heart, his father Cao Cao was an insurmountable mountain.
"Remember this, even if you want to usurp, you must ask Liu Xie to give in!"
"You must never follow Dong Zhuo's example! Even if Liu Xie abdicates, you must treat him well!"
After hearing this, Cao Pi was puzzled. However, since his father Cao Cao said it, he could only accept it.
How could a useless loser Liu Xie receive so much courtesy?
Cao Cao sighed, if it were his youngest son Cao Chong, he probably wouldn't need to explain so much.
"Be kind to Liu Xie and let him live in the world, and you will disgust Liu Bei and his son!"
"As long as Liu Xie lives in this world, they will not be able to go any further!"
"If Liu Bei proclaims himself emperor, he will be confirmed as a traitor and traitor!"
"If he continues to be the King of Hanzhong, how will the world's wise people view this person? If he does not claim to be emperor, he is not qualified to compete with my Cao family."
Cao Cao was scheming and already planning how to disgust Liu Bei and his son.
Unfortunately, Cao Pi's political wisdom is obviously far from his father.
"You have always been at odds with Zilian. He died in the battle at Baihe. Don't think that Gu doesn't know that you are happy in your heart."
Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and sighed: "The Cao family and the Xiahou family are the ones you can trust!"
"Gu, no matter how much you value the nobles in the future, military power must be in the hands of my family."
Even if Cao Cao didn't say anything, Cao Pi would not easily let the nobles take charge of the army.
No matter how stupid he is, he still understands that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
"Father, don't worry..."
"If you have anything else, just tell me today."
"Father, Xun Wenruo...this man has always claimed to be a hero of the Han Dynasty!"
Cao Pi hesitated to speak. He understood that Xun Yu was indispensable for his father's achievements today.
"Haha, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? It's just that I don't want to cooperate with the Yingchuan nobles anymore!"
