As the saying goes: the wise man - the prophet who is uncertain, the wise man who is wise - knows after the fact, and the wise man - who still does not know the matter, there is no doubt that Xiao Yi is a wise man, through the clues, know the answer in advance!

If you want to know Cao Cao's life and death, it is actually not difficult, you don't have to go to the back account to peep at the situation, and you don't need to buy the medical officer of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as you observe the two people, you can make a judgment!

The first is Mrs. Bian, who has been in love with the traitor for many years, has four sons and two daughters, and has a tacit understanding between husband and wife, Cao Cao can't deceive this pillow man by doing anything, and after the assassination, Mrs. Bian is the only one who enters to visit!

If Cao Cao had already died, or was dying, Mrs. Bian should be heartbroken and had no master, but the current situation, although her face was full of sorrow, she was less sad and more calm, not like a surviving person at all!

The second is Xu Chu, the most loyal guard - the tiger idiot, almost the shadow of the traitorous male, in the original history, when Cao Cao died of illness in Yecheng, Xu Chu was sad and cried, so much so that he cried and spit blood!

And now Xu Chu is standing at the door of the back tent, with a temperament like a knife and a straight waist, but he doesn't see a sad look, and he doesn't lose the panic of losing his backbone!

From this, it can be judged that Cao Cao did not die at all, nor was he seriously injured, but he cheated his death and hid behind the scenes, trying to lure out the die-hard loyalists of the Han family and those who were dissatisfied with him, and then wipe out all the political enemies!

In addition, the traitorous male also wants to take this opportunity to test the civil and military forces, wives and concubines, and sons around him...... Look at who is loyal, who is half-hearted, and who can't wait to jump out to seize power, what is usually not clear and can't be seen through, this time it will be clear!

After figuring out the hole cards of the traitorous male, Xiao Yi didn't dare to act rashly, but hid his ambitions and made a look of loyalty and courage, of course, the performance should not be too much, it really reached the point of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, but it will reveal flaws!

When the time comes, Xiao Yi will also reach out and fight for some of his interests, so that he will be like a normal person, and the traitor will also let go of his suspicions, thinking that although Xiao Yi is ambitious, it is not enough to devour the world, and being a powerful minister is the limit!

Next, Mrs. Bian handed out the talismans and seals several times, and his words became more earnest, but Xiao Yi retreated step by step, swearing not to accept it, and the loyalty he showed made everyone in the tent admire, and the clan generals also showed shame, thinking that they had the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman...... Da Sima is really a loyal minister!

"Several uncles are generals in the army, and they are also the brothers of the prime minister, they are connected by blood and have deep brotherhood, and they also hope to take over the military talisman and seal ribbon to lead the clan through the difficulties, and our mother and son also have to rely on!"

Seeing that Xiao Yi swore not to accept power, Mrs. Bian was relieved, and there was a hint of approval in her eyes, and she came to several clan generals again, and handed out the talisman and seal ribbon again, and the temptation was far from over!

"Brush! …… Alas! …… We will wait for the death to repay the service, and dare to have two hearts! ”

Faced with the temptation of power, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong all showed brilliance, and raised their hands slightly, as long as they took the talisman and seal, they would be the uncrowned king!

What's more, Cao Cao's life and death are uncertain, Mrs. Bian's daughters, several sons are young and shallow, it is difficult to deter the arrogant soldiers, they are uncles, follow the example of Zhou Gongfu becoming king, temporarily hold power for a few years, and then return to politics with nephews in the future, and it is reasonable to say the past!

But halfway up their hands, they all froze in mid-air, the four of them looked at each other, sighed in their hearts, and obediently took it back, and then knelt down on one knee and saluted, saying again and again that they didn't dare, didn't dare!

Although the four of them are not wise and resourceful, they are not stupid people, and they know that the weight of the authority of the world and the power of the country and the society is not something they can shoulder, not to mention that there are two major reasons that they dare not accept......

First, on strategy, military exploits, and prestige...... Xiao Yiyuan is far above them, and they don't dare to take over the power, how dare they trespass, even if they are barely on the throne, they can't suppress this ghost-faced Xiao Lang, trying to make the world laugh!

Second, there is only one supreme right, but there are four clan generals, and they are divided into two surnames, no matter who takes over the power, the remaining three will inevitably be dissatisfied, once it is not properly disposed of, it may lead to cannibalism!

Therefore, it is better to advance and retreat, it is better to put away your ambitions and obediently be an auxiliary minister, anyway, no matter that nephew is on the throne, they are all the respect of their uncles, and they are indispensable for glory and wealth!

Xiao Yi swore to be a loyal minister and did not accept the seal, and several clan generals also retreated, in this case, only among the several sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion, one was selected to succeed his father!

But after the fall of the eldest prince Cao Ang, Cao Cao has never set up an heir, and now half a foot has stepped into the ghost gate, and it is impossible to write an edict and make a will, the successor of Cao Ying Group can only be recommended by everyone!

More than 20 sons of the Cao family are all smart and clever people, so naturally they can't be elected indiscriminately, and according to the ancient law: governing the world and establishing longevity - in order to achieve long-term peace and stability, and establishing virtuous people in troubled times - in order to sweep the world!

Among the four sons, Cao Pi is the oldest, if he is canonized by the law of the elder, the heir will be him, thinking of this, everyone's eyes gathered, staring at the second son, and many people also showed a sense of flattery!

Under the gaze of everyone, Cao Pi's heart was also hot, and he couldn't help but take half a step forward, but he felt that someone was stealing his clothes, and he glanced at it with the corner of his eye, it turned out to be his confidant subordinate official-Sima Yi!

Sima Yi has been hiding in the dark, observing the expressions of everyone in the tent, and he can be described as a see-fed view of the situation, only to see him shake his head slightly, his eyes swept at the back tent, and then he looked at Cao Pi and made a gesture of calmness!

I wanted to make a few more gestures, but suddenly felt a chill like a sword falling on his neck, Sima Yi hurriedly looked around, and found Xiao Yi's ghostly gaze, which frightened him into a cold sweat, and he retreated several steps in a row, and he didn't dare to make small movements anymore!

"Mother, don't be worried, let's use a concentrating tea first, my father Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely turn the corner!"

Cao Pi was originally a shrewd person, and he understood it in an instant, but the steps had already been taken, and it was impossible to take it back, so he picked up a cup of fragrant tea, handed it to his mother, Mrs. Bian, and whispered a few words of comfort, and then returned to his original position, everything was done seamlessly!

The father's life and death are uncertain, the mother's liver and intestines are broken, and at this time, he is eager to seize power, it is indeed not the work of the son of man, not only will it not help the upper position, but it will lose the hearts of the people, not to mention the position of the heir, he is not nine out of ten!

For the sake of the interests of the country, some courageous monarchs often break the inheritance law when they are dying, and instead choose the most intelligent and brave son to inherit their inheritance!

For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin State was located in the west, the national strength was weak, and it was repeatedly oppressed by the overlord of the Central Plains - the Wei State, and also lost a large area of land, so when Qin Xiangong was dying, he abandoned his eldest son Yingqian and set up a more virtuous younger son Yingquliang, which was later Qin Xiaogong!

After Qin Xiaogong succeeded to the throne, he changed the law of internal reuse of Wei Ying, rewarded cultivation and warfare, moved the capital to Xianyang, and strengthened the centralization of power; Externally, he made a contract with Chu and Han, and united Qi and Zhao to attack Wei and recapture the land of Hexi, and since then the national strength has become stronger and stronger, laying the foundation for the unification of Qin!

Although the Cao family is in full swing, there are princes outside who are not peaceful, and there are Han die-hard loyalists who are in turmoil, and the arrogant soldiers are difficult to control.

Cao Chong is extremely talented, diligent and studious, although he is only eight years old, his IQ is no different from that of ordinary middle-aged people, and he has a benevolent heart, often interceding for those who make mistakes.

In addition, Cao Chong's foundation is very weak, and he has no strength in his own right, if he assists the young lord to ascend to the throne, the ministers will get more benefits, and the historical Lü Buwei is not a strange commodity to live in, supported the weak Qin prince-Yiren, and finally became the prime minister of Great Qin?

Therefore, some ministers who were interested in becoming a dragon turned their eyes to Cao Chong and fantasized about becoming Lu Buwei's second, but the little guy lowered his head, his body trembled slightly, and he looked back from time to time, obviously worried about his father!

Xiao Cao Chong was indifferent, but Mrs. Huan's eyes were hot, and she hugged her baby son tightly, just like hugging Ronghua and wealth, this woman is not only charming and charming, but also has some political ambitions, and has always wanted to replace Mrs. Bian and become the main mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

And if Cao Chong wants to ascend to the throne, he urgently needs the support of the civil and military ministers, so on the top, Mrs. Huan's eyes flickered, and she kept secretly wooing the important ministers, Xiao Yi was the top priority, finger hooks, gaze guidance, and even secretly sent Qiu Bo......

Xiao Yi has a heavy army, if he stands up to support his son, Cao Chong will be able to ascend to the throne smoothly and become the next Duke of Wei, and he can also become the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the future queen mother and queen mother!

It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless, Xiao Yi was unmoved, and sat down directly on the side, neither supporting Cao Pi nor supporting Cao Chong, the most powerful Sima didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to express their stance at will, they all played and pretended to be deaf and dumb!

"Whoosh! …… Brush! …… Ahem! ”

For a moment, there was silence in the tent, people did not speak or move, and some of them squinted as if they were about to fall asleep!

But in private, people gesture, look at each other, and change their faces...... Constantly communicating silently, its content is rich, and the confrontation is fierce, no worse than verbal swords!

In the end, it is the eldest son, or the virtuous and virtuous, Cao Pi is on the throne, or Cao Chong inherits, and Cao Cao who is lying behind, when will he breathe, or has his soul returned to the underworld?

"Dada! --Report! ”

A subordinate official of the Prime Minister's Mansion ran in, looking flustered and out of breath, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and handed Mrs. Bian an urgent report: "There is a change in the city, after the rebellion, gather soldiers and horses, and besiege the imperial city!" ”
