In the original historical process, Lao Cao's successor had problems. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, not only Lao Cao, throughout the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, it seems that there are really few candidates who dominate one side without making trouble on this issue.

Dedicated to Emperor Liu Xie? There was a big battle between him and his elder brother Young Emperor Liu Wei, but the battle between their little brothers was not led by their brothers;

Yuan Shao? The struggle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang directly led to the split and accelerated demise of the Yuan group;

Liu Biao? His two baby sons, that is, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, don't say much about the matter, Lao Cao directly said on this issue, "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou!" If Liu Jingsheng, guinea dog ears".

But Lao Cao, don't talk about others, your own situation here is not much better. The intrigue between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi was also famous in later generations, and Cao Zhi's "Seven Steps Poem" can be said to have been passed down through the ages, exhausting the bitterness and cruelty in it.

Okay, without further ado, let's take a look at Cao Chong at the current point.

may not deny that Cao Chong is Lao Cao's favorite son, and he is not one of them. In the original history, Cao Chong died of illness in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, when he was only twelve years old, and he cried to the death of an old Cao, and even said to Cao Pi and others without scruples, "This is my misfortune, and you Cao's great luck" Such words, which shows how much Lao Cao likes Cao Chong.

On this basis, Cao Chong is actually very likely to become Lao Cao's heir, which is even something that Cao Pi himself has admitted.

So will Cao Chong's fate really be so good? I'm afraid not. It is true that Cao Chong here saved his life because of the appearance of Lu Ren, an outlier figure, and did not die of illness in Jian'an for thirteen years as in the original history, but in fact, Cao Chong's life was not easy. Let's put it this way, there is a saying that "the children of the poor are in charge of the house early", and Cao Chong's situation is that "the children in the Xiao wall are sensible first".

Cao Chong is smart, and it is precisely because of this cleverness that he will be loved by Lao Cao. But it is also because of this cleverness that Cao Chong has learned too many things at a young age.

Become the heir of Lao Cao? This seems to be a very possible thing, and many people even think that as long as Cao Chong has no accidents and no mistakes, then it is destined for Cao Chong to pick up Lao Cao's class.

So is that really the case? If you let Cao Chong answer this question by himself, maybe Cao Chong will tell you with a sad face: "It's not that simple, brother, don't hurt me!" ”

Cao Chong was valued and favored by Lao Cao, which is not false. But because Cao Chong is smart, he can detect the jealousy and resentment of the other brothers who hide behind his smiling faces. It would be fine if ordinary brothers and sisters arrived, but there was a brother who made Cao Chong have to be on guard, and this person was Cao Pi.

Cao Pi is not a good bird, his insidious and vicious, ruthless face, seems to be recorded in the historical materials. Let's take Cao Zhi as an example, how long did Lao Cao die at that time? Cao Pi couldn't help but kill his younger brother with the same father and mother, and he was pressing step by step. At that time, if it weren't for their wife who realized that the situation was wrong and jumped out to desperately protect Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was afraid that he would not be able to escape death.

So at this time, try to imagine again, once Cao Pi takes over Lao Cao's class, this guy who can even do it with his half-brother and half-mother, where will he let go of Cao Chong, who is deeply favored by Lao Cao, but is only a half-brother with himself?

That's where the problem comes in. Cao Chong noticed Cao Pi's ruthlessness early on, and he was afraid that Cao Pi would harm himself in the future, which was completely understandable. But aren't you Cao Chong so favored by Lao Cao? Wouldn't it be better for you to work hard to get the position of this heir? Where do you still need to be afraid of Cao Pi?

Speaking of which, we have to turn the conversation back to the inheritance system at that time. At that time, the system was primogeniture, and once it violated this system, it was easy to be criticized by others. And Cao Pi's identity happens to be the eldest son, but Cao Chong's identity is just a concubine. In terms of system, Cao Chong is at an absolute disadvantage.

In fact, Lao Cao wanted to make his Wei state decent, in modern terms, to scale and institutionalize, so it was impossible to do whatever he wanted on many issues. During this period, the Wei State was already unstable, and too many people hoped that Lao Cao could do things in a behapable and stable manner, and on the issue of heirs, they would also hope that Lao Cao could do everything according to the rules that should be done.

Take Cui Yan, for example. Cui Yan can be said to be highly respected, and his decent style even Lao Cao is in awe, and it can even be said that Cui Yan can be regarded as the leader of the scholars on Lao Cao's side. is such a person, when Lao Cao secretly asked who should be appointed as the heir, he publicly expressed his hope that Lao Cao would abide by the system, and also said that "Yan will stick to it", which is said to have made Lao Cao frightened at that time.

Well, there won't be too much talk about this matter, anyway, in the territory of Wei, people hope that Lao Cao can do everything according to the rules that should be done. And before that, Yuan Shao and Liu Biaoke had already served as negative teaching materials, sounding a lot of alarm bells for Lao Cao, and also giving too many people reasons to persuade Lao Cao. In this case, Cao Chong seems to be easy to become Lao Cao's heir, but in fact it is difficult.

And what about Cao Chong? Cao Chong was too smart to understand that he must not have any illusions about this aspect of things. Not only can you not have illusions, but you must also take advantage of Lao Cao's current existence to quickly seek a way to escape for yourself, otherwise...... You must know that Lao Cao is over sixty years old this year, and at such an age, some related matters have been put on the agenda. Once Cao Chong hesitates, or if Lao Cao suddenly does something, what can he do with his little life?

Because of this, Cao Chong had already chosen to pretend to be stupid and playful, and he also deliberately took the errand of training Wei's football team to himself, and worked hard to show to Lao Cao and Cao Pi that he was just a playful and unambitious child. It's a pity that Lao Cao wanted to cultivate Cao Chong, so he transferred Cao Chong from Yecheng to Hanzhong and to Lao Cao's own side.

To this day, Cao Chong still remembers the vicious and resentful gaze hidden behind the smiling face when he left Yecheng and Cao Pi came to see him off. That gaze really made Cao Chong secretly frightened. Therefore, Cao Chong's idea of finding a way back for himself as soon as possible became more and more urgent.

Of course, this back road is not so easy to find, so you can't let Cao Chong run to Liu Bei or Sun Quan in the future, right? Cao Chong doesn't have that way, right? To put it mildly, even if he really ran away to Liu Bei or Sun Quan, he would only become a puppet that seemed to be of some use, a political prop.

After thinking about it, Cao Chong set his sights on Lu Ren's Yizhou.

First, Lu Ren and Lao Cao did not have a direct political conflict or military conflict, and Cao Chong's escape to Lu Ren should not have any impact on Lu Ren, which naturally made Cao Chong more at ease in some things;

Second, no matter what you say about it, there is some old love between Lao Cao and Lu Ren, and Cao Chong himself has been to Yizhou, and has dealt with Lu Ren more or less, so he has a very good image of Lu Ren, so he thinks Lu Ren can tolerate himself.

In short, Cao Chong just wanted to take this opportunity to go to Yizhou to have a look and touch the bottom of Lu Ren's side. If Lu Ren's side can meet his wishes, then he will find an opportunity to escape to Yizhou in the future; If Lu Ren can't accommodate himself, he can quickly adjust his direction here and find another way out. In any case, it's better than waiting here, right?

————————————————————

Lao Cao got Hanzhong in December, but Lu Ren's side also settled Liaodong in December. And when Lao Cao was in Hanzhong and was struggling with the mess, Lu Ren was busy socializing up and down here in Liaodong.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's social. The conditions have long been negotiated between Lu Ren and Gongsun Gong, and now that things have been done, the rest is of course communication and entertainment in all directions...... Speaking of officialdom, Lu Ren has to appease the people of Liaodong!

Just a few days ago, Gongsun Gong issued an article as the lord of Liaodong, saying that he was ashamed of the people of Liaodong and failed to manage Gongsun Yuan, a white-eyed wolf, which led to Liaodong falling into war. And Gongsun Gong thought about it, and felt that the land of the world should be inhabited by virtuous people, and his body was not very good, so he was afraid that he would not be able to manage Liaodong, so he decided to give up the position of the lord of Liaodong to Lu Ren...... In a word, acting, acting!

But acting is acting, and many people may have seen the twists and turns, but at this time, everyone in Liaodong thought that Lu Ren would govern Liaodong, which was indeed much stronger than Gongsun Gong, and it was much more reassuring. So when Lu Ren pretended to excuse himself a few times, many people immediately jumped out and expressed the hope that Lu Ren could take over the burden of Liaodong. And then next, of course, Lu Ren took over Liaodong "half-pushed and half-done". And all of this is just like Lu Ren himself said, it is not much different from Tao Qian's original concession of Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

There are a few things to do after taking over Liaodong, first of all, Lu Ren has to submit a letter to the court, imploring the court to give him the official position of "Liaozhou Mu" or "Liaozhou Assassin History". This is a matter of officialdom, and you must know that Lu Ren is doing things in the name of "loyal ministers of the Han family", so this matter must not be sloppy. As for the statement to the court, of course, Xun Yu had already written it.

In addition, it has to be said that there was no "Liaozhou" in the Han Dynasty, and Liaodong and Liaoxi were under the rule of Youzhou. The "Liaozhou Mu" or "Liaozhou Thorn History" that Lu Ren applied for was actually equivalent to dividing Liaodong and Liaoxi from Youzhou's state governance. Once it was done, the Eastern Han Dynasty would become fifteen states...... Originally, it was thirteen, but Lu Ren first added Yizhou to fourteen, and now one Liaozhou naturally becomes fifteen. However, this matter was nothing at the time, Lao Cao did not do a lot of sub-states or mergers in the original history (merging states and counties, not referring to the annexation of states), and it was Lao Cao who merged the thirteen states into Kyushu.

Let's not talk about this, that's what Lu Ren did anyway. If you can't stand it and want to send someone to do things, then Lu Ren just hangs up Lao Cao's people, and the real power is not the same in Lu Ren's hands? If it really doesn't make a good scene, maybe the people sent by Lao Cao will be "recruited" by Lu Ren? Just like Liu Ye. But I believe that Lao Cao will not make that kind of stupidity again.

The affairs of the officialdom are settled, and the next thing is the affairs of the people...... To put it bluntly, it is to buy the hearts of the people. To put it bluntly, there are only two words to do this: throw money!

However, Lu Ren had already prepared for the fact that he was going to throw money here. In fact, Lu Ren has already started to do the money-throwing thing, and the previous take-in and relief of the people of Liaodong is itself a money-throwing thing, isn't it? The difference may just be that it was a bit of a charcoal in the snow, but now it's a bit of a icing on the cake. Anyway, it would be right for the people of Liaodong to think that Lu Ren was really good.

At this time, it was approaching the first lunar month and New Year of the coming year, and Lu Ren simply came to push the boat and distributed a lot of additional things, saying that he wanted to give the people of Liaodong a better New Year. You have to know that Liaodong has just experienced war, and too many people almost don't know how to spend this year's winter, but now they have got this, so they ...... to Lu Ren Although I dare not say that I am grateful to Dade, praise is indispensable.

At this time, Lu Ren was holding a banquet here, but Lu Ren was receiving some local snakes in Liaodong in addition to "welcoming the New Year together...... Oh, it's those family clans in the Liaodong region.

Speaking of which, Lu Ren is not interested in those families and clans, and he has no good feelings at all, but Lu Ren understands that there are many things that you can't avoid or escape at all, and you still have to deal with what you should deal with. But fortunately, Liaodong is not the Central Plains region after all, and the family clans here are not as difficult to deal with as the family clans in the Central Plains, and it won't be too troublesome if Lu Ren really wants to deal with them.

I won't say much about these words, and this banquet, Lu Ren is still in the form of a buffet, because it will be relatively convenient to deal with those people. After two busy laps, Lu Ren habitually avoided a corner and shook off the goosebumps on his body, but at a glance, he saw Lu Xun holding a dinner plate alone, and was sitting there stupidly looking at the banquet hall.

By the way, after Lu Ren took Liaodong, Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang also withdrew their troops. Not to mention that the purpose of Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang's Eastern Front Army itself was only to contain Goguryeo, even if Lu Ren really wanted to fight Goguryeo, he had not yet made corresponding preparations. But wait until Lu Ren completely finishes the Liaodong side......

"Bo Yan, why are you staying here alone? What kind of stupidity are you committing here? ”

Lu Xun was recalled by Lu Ren, and smiled awkwardly at Lu Ren, but his eyes drifted to the venue again. Lu Ren followed Lu Xun's gaze, and was soon surprised to find that Lu Xun's gaze was actually following a girl in the venue. And this girl can be regarded as one of the focal points of the banquet venue.

"Bo Yan, you are ......"

Lu Xun's face flushed, he knew that his little thoughts could not be hidden from Lu Ren. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Lu Xun whispered to Lu Ren: "It's time for my brother to laugh." It's just, it's just...... Alas! The foolish brother didn't know how to speak. ”

Lu Ren also smiled dumbly: "If you like it, you like it, it's not a big deal." Besides, in a few days, you will be thirty-seven years old, and if you don't ask for a wife and children at this age, you really can't say it. I'm your brother, and I'm actually quite anxious about you. ”

Lu Xun looked at Lu Ren, couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Alas, brother, you can say it so lightly." Between me and her...... Alas! It would be nice if she was just an ordinary woman. ”

Saying that, Lu Xun looked at Lu Ren again, shook his head and said, "Brother, why do you think I always like women I shouldn't like?" It was like this to Miss Lan at the beginning, but now it's ......"

His head was still shaking, but Lu Xun didn't want to say it anymore. Lu Ren originally wanted to say a few words, but Lu Xun had already picked up the plate, seeing that it meant that he wanted to stay somewhere else. Looking at this posture, Lu Ren didn't need to ask to know that Lu Xun wanted to find a place to be quiet and feel sorry for himself.

Lu Ren was angry and funny about this situation, but he didn't want to disturb Lu Xun's self-pity at this time, because men at this time were probably the most difficult to communicate.

So Lu Ren didn't follow, but sat there with a smile, after all, Lu Ren himself had just finished dealing with so many people, and he needed such a quiet place to rest. But after sitting for a long time, the woman who had been chased by Lu Xun's gaze just now came to Lu Ren's side, and there was a little caution behind the seemingly cool smile:

"Lu Yizhou, why are you sitting here? Yes...... What did you and Bo Yan say just now? Why didn't he say a few words, and Bo Yan left with a sad face. ”

Lu Ren's heart immediately turned over, but he didn't show it on his face. And now Lu Ren is already a forty-five or six-year-old uncle, and he has already come over, how can he not see what different meaning is hidden by this woman's caution behind that smiling face?

So therefore, Lu Ren responded with a smile on his face: "It's nothing, it's just a few words from Bo Yan's heart, and Bo Yan still can't figure it out for a while." It's you, the county lord, why do I always feel ...... Do you feel that you are extraordinarily beautiful and charming today? ”
