Chapter 357: 3 Kingdoms: The King of Wei has a short life
Cao Cao killed Empress Fu and her family of more than 200 people, and then forced Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, to make Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Jie, the Empress. He coerced Emperor Xian of Han to make him the King of Wei and allow him to discuss the establishment of a crown prince. Cao Cao's power had reached its peak.
But Cao Cao was conflicted about who to make the crown prince.
Cao Cao was very fond of Linzi Marquis Cao Zhi, who was a talented writer. Yang Xiu assisted Cao Zhi in military affairs, which led to the strong support among both the officials and the people of Wei for Cao Zhi to be the successor.
Cao Zhi asked: "Father will interrogate me about current affairs and military affairs again soon. I don't pay attention to this matter normally, so I'm afraid I won't be able to answer it when the time comes."
Yang Xiu calmly handed Cao Zhi the "Ten Replies to Teachings" that he had prepared long ago.
Cao Cao was sitting at his desk thinking about the matter of the Crown Prince when a servant brought a box of pastries that Cao Pi had sent to the table.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up a brush and wrote the three words "Yihesu" on the lid of the box.
Yang Xiu, Cao Zhi and Ding Yi went to the back garden of the Prince of Wei's mansion to drink. Yang Xiu took a box of pastry and shared it with Cao Zhi and Ding Yi.
For a while, the three of them ate, drank, sang and danced, which attracted Cao Cao's attention.
Cao Cao was very surprised to notice that there was only a little cake left in the box.
Yang Xiu explained: "The king has given a clear order. Each of us can have a bite of pastry. How dare we disobey the king's order?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao had no choice but to smile.
"Dezu's extraordinary ideas and talents are truly unpredictable."
...]
<Didn’t you say you were willing to be King Wen of Zhou?>
<Empress Fu is really miserable.>
<Alas, it would be nice if Cao Ang were still alive.>
<Alas, it would be nice if Cao Chong were still alive.>
<Cao Cao's literary accomplishment was passed on to Cao Zhi, and his ambition and ruthlessness were passed on to Cao Pi.>
< To put it bluntly, Yang Xiu was too clever for his own good. >
<Preview of the topic, Cao Zhi just doesn't live up to expectations.>
<Cao Pi, remember to send snacks to your father, not bad, not bad. [Eating melon]>
<But Cao Cao was very disgusted, because Cao Pi bribed Cao Cao's close attendants.>
<Yang Xiu is really too clever.>
<How brave! Stealing the boss’s snacks shocked me for the whole year.>
<A group of demons are dancing wildly, a disco scene.>
<Is this the elegance of the Wei and Jin Dynasties? I really can’t appreciate it.>
<This is probably due to the high from the Wu Shi San.>
<Cao Cao: What the hell is going on>
<Don’t say Cao Cao is annoying. I also hate people like Yang Xiu, who likes to play tricks too much.>
[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: Cao thief!]
[Liu Biao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Cao thief!]
[Liu Zhang in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Cao thief!]
[Sun Ce, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Cao thief!]
[In the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao: Cao thief!]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: …]
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: Yang Xiu's death explains everything.]
[Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan: Well, see, Wushisan was already popular during the Cao Wei period. These are all their legacy issues.]
……
Cao Cao was not surprised that he had to decide between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. After all, it could be seen from now on that both of them were indeed talented.
But, Chong'er...
This gave Cao Cao a bad feeling.
Could it be that Chong'er's extreme wisdom will definitely lead to injury...
……
Yang Biao could fully guess how his son was executed.
"I've told you a thousand times to control your temper."
Although Yang Xiu still looked unhappy, he calmed down a little after looking at the light curtain.
So, is Cao Cao still his enemy?
Without waiting for Yang Xiu to think about it, Yang Biao continued to warn him, "Don't get involved in his family affairs."
Thinking of the consequences of the crumbling man, Yang Biao couldn't help feeling sad.
……
[Jia Xu was worried.]
"Today I am a guest, tomorrow I will be a prisoner. I am not a former minister of the king, but now I am always by his side, listening to his orders and being favored. This has already caused jealousy. If I am not careful, I will definitely get into trouble."
The eldest son Cao Pi, who wanted to seize the position of crown prince, asked Jia Xu for advice.
Cao Pi looked outside the door and saw no one, so he knelt on his knees in front of Jia Xu and knocked his head to the ground, "Doctor Jia, save me!"
"Recently, I have observed my father's words and expressions, and he seems to be thinking of deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son."
Jia Xu knew that Yang Xiu was the one behind Cao Zhi's plot and wanted to get rid of him.
Cao Cao wanted to send Cao Zhi as military supervisor and go to Hanzhong with Cao Hong.
Cao Pi designed a plan to get Cao Zhi drunk.
"My dear brother, you have traveled a thousand miles and it is hard to predict when you will return. I don't know when we can be reunited again. I would like to offer you a toast first."
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi drank the wine in one gulp. Cao Pi pretended to say, "When you return victorious, I will report to our father and ask him to be made the crown prince as soon as possible to inherit our father's great cause."
Cao Zhi was quite moved. "People say that you are jealous of my talent. Today I know that you are sincere and affectionate. I will never forget you."
Cao Zhi was hungover and delayed military intelligence, and Cao Cao was furious when he found out.
Afterwards, Cao Pi handed Cao Cao the "Ten Replies to Teachings" prepared by Yang Xiu for Cao Zhi.
Cao Cao became increasingly dissatisfied with Cao Zhi, and the same was true with Yang Xiu.
He summoned Jia Xu and said, "Among my sons, only Zihuan and Zijian have the highest talents. In your opinion, who should I make my successor to complete my great cause?"
Jia Xu thought for a long time, and waited until Cao Cao pressed him before answering, "I was thinking about the incident in which Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng adopted their youngest son as their heir, and the brothers attacked each other."
In the 22nd year of Jian'an, Cao Pi defeated Cao Zhi and was made the Crown Prince of Wei.
<Actually, Cao Pi was quite capable, with only one shortcoming, which was that he was a bit jealous of others, but this shortcoming was exaggerated too much in the novel.>
<Jia Xu is a rare person who retired after achieving success and let his family enjoy peace>
<The first old fox in the Three Kingdoms, the first conspirator in the Three Kingdoms.>
<I was wondering who was missing from Cao Pi's side. It was Sima Yi. Sima Yi seemed to be a good friend of Cao Pi during this period.>
<Cao Pi: I hated you for killing my elder brother before, now I beg you to kill my younger brother again.>
<Even though Cao Zhi was the eldest son, he was not suitable to be Cao Cao's successor.>
<How can Yang Xiu and Jia Xu win? In Jia Xu's eyes, Yang Xiu is just a scholar.>
<Cao Zhi was not very scheming either.>
<Cao Pi: I was just being polite to you, but you actually took it seriously.>
<Do you believe Cao Pi's lies? Silly Cao Zhi. Cao Zijian is really just a simple poet who lacks social punishment.>
<I, Cao Pi, was shocked. How could you be so easily deceived? Some people actually believed it. I don’t even believe what I said.>
<Boss Cao, this is like an old father seeing his son cheating on an exam. It’s so sad.>
<Yang Xiu is now completely finished.>
<But Cao Pi’s ability… I feel like it’s still a little lacking. Not only did he die young, but he also left behind many political problems.>
<It’s a pity that King Wei’s Persimmon died young.>
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Emperor Wen of Wei and Emperor Ming of Wei both died young, otherwise Sima Yi would not have taken advantage of them.]
[Emperor Zhaolie of Han Liu Bei: Alas, Cao Mengde, at least you still have extra sons to choose from [sigh]]
[Liu Chan, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Eh! Daddy? ? ?]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: It is indeed necessary to be cautious when appointing an heir. We must not let the incidents of Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng happen.]
[YUAN Shao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: ...you are the only one who can speak.]
[Liu Biao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: ...You can choose not to post comments.]
……
Cao Cao was conflicted again.
Zihuan was a good person, but his life was short.
What if he had lived longer?
……
Jia Xu felt that his future self was still not stable enough, so he actually got involved in the fight for succession.
You still have to be prudent and protect yourself.
If the lord asks, answer it. If he doesn’t ask, just stay.
