Vol 2 Chapter 485: Father and son

Yecheng, the imperial palace.
Cao Pi opened his eyes tiredly. He now understands that his father was unwilling when he died. Obviously, there are still many things to do, but after the passing of life, he can almost feel it clearly. The helpless and unwilling. It feels very strong, especially Cao Pi is still very young. He is only 40 years old this year. It is the age of the most energetic man, but he wants to say goodbye to this world. How can Cao Pi be reconciled?
His unwillingness may be stronger than that of Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao has experienced everything in his life. He has defeated Cao Wei's foundation today. Although he failed to complete the great cause of unification, he is still dead.
But Cao Pi couldn't do it. Although he sent troops to attack Wu twice, he failed to build merits due to the intervention of Guan Yu. Instead, he used up his national power. For more than six years in power, Wei's national power has indeed improved, but Cao Pi knows clearly that this is not enough Wu Jun, with the support of the Han Army, has been operating Hefei in recent years and has become more sophisticated in land warfare, especially in the field of armor, and now he has overtaken Cao Wei.
As for the Han dynasty established by Liu Bei, even if Cao Wei did not recognize it, the influence of the Han dynasty has not yet been completely eliminated. As far as the people are concerned, Liu Bei ’s recognition is actually not lower than that of Cao Wei. Destructively, Liu Bei ’s existence The threat is far greater than Soochow.
Cao Pi did not think of joining Wu Fahan, but Dongwu relied on the armor support given by the big Han in recent years, which relied heavily on the Han Dynasty. Although he did not refuse, Sun Quan was obviously waiting for the opportunity. This opportunity did not appear. Previously, Sun Quan would not rush against Liu Bei for the purpose.
The three-legged momentum, although Cao Wei is the strongest, but the Wu Han Alliance is not broken, and it is naturally impossible to break the current impasse.
This is the reason that Cao Pi has realized in these years. Cao Wei is powerful, but he ca n’t suppress the two fights at the same time. At present, he is undecided, but he wants to let go. Once he dies, I am afraid that Liu Bei ’s Han Dynasty and Soochow will send troops immediately. To attack, Soochow may not really fight, but Liu Bei will definitely attack.
If Liu Bei also died at this time, how good?
Cao Pi resented the injustice of God. Then Liu Bei, who was thirty years older than himself, is still alive and kicking. Why should he die early in his life?
"Your Majesty ~" Nei Shi trot to the bed, kneeling and sitting in front of Cao Pi, bowing: "Ping Cao Rui of the Plain, Chen Qun, the General of the Zhen Army, Cao Zhen, the General of the Chinese Army, Cao Xiu and the General of the Zhengdong Army General Ma Sima Yi has been waiting for His Majesty to be summoned outside the palace. "
Cao Pi raised his hand weakly, and now he doesn't want to waste energy talking.
The inner attendant understood and trot out. Soon, Cao Rui and the four ministers came under the lead of the inner attendant to Cao Pi before he collapsed.
"Children see the father emperor!"
"Senior see your majesty!"
"Come on!" Cao Pi waved his hand and looked at Cao Rui, but he saw that Cao Rui's eyes were drooping. Although respectful, but all over him, there was an indifference that was thousands of miles away.
Although Cao Rui was not old, he experienced ups and downs. When he was young, he was very fond of Cao Cao because of his knowledge and knowledge. He was very pleased with Cao Cao. He was even designated as the third-generation successor of Cao Wei. Received endless grace and praise.
Later, Cao Pi ascended the throne, and Zhen was crowned as a queen, and she was also in love with Cao Pi. Cao Rui ’s childhood was undoubtedly happy, but the good times were not long. Uncomfortable, Cao Pi was quite stumped in his heart, and he would still be fond of when he was all over the country, but after that old age, those old things gradually became a thorn stuck in Cao Pi's heart. The complaint was stabbed to death.
Cao Rui's original childhood happy and happy life has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Love the house and Wuwu, hate is almost the same. After killing Zhen Shi, Cao Pi looks like this little brother like a fourth brother, and becomes more unhappy with Cao Rui. Afterwards, he threw it directly to the plain, but he saw nothing.
Even for some time, Cao Pi deliberately abolished the identity of Cao Rui's eldest son, and renamed Cao Li, the son of concubine Xu Ji, as heir, but was prevented by the Manchu Minister. Cao Rui did not make a mistake and could not be abolished! Cao Pi could only rest his mind when he saw Manchu's civil and military opposition.
Today, the 18-year-old Cao Rui has become a handsome boy, but he does not have the sharpness and vigor that the boy should have. These years, he has lived cautiously and lived away, and he has worn away the arrogance that he should have at this age. Cao Pi suddenly Cao Rui saw his shadow when he was young.
Thinking of these years, there is a bit of regret in my heart.
"I will be here soon ..." Cao Pi sighed, and instead of talking directly to his son, Cao Pi looked at the four ministers.
"How can your majesty say this !?" Chen Qun quickly kneeled down to the ground and tapped Cao Pi first.
"Hypocritical!" Cao Pi glanced at them, and scolded lightly, without any emotion in it. Now he no longer wants to deal with these useless politeness: "I said, just wait and listen!"
"Hello!" The four hurriedly bowed down.
Cao Pi took a deep breath: "The first emperor had a difficult time starting a business. When I ascended the throne, I originally thought that this so-called three-legged trend would soon be settled by our great Wei. However, both of the two defeated Soochow failed to return. Then Liu Bei's national strength is flourishing now, and I will die. Liu Bei will inevitably attack the country. He will wait to be a good assistant to the prince.
The four Chen Qun quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will wait for the Prince to help the Prince!
"Peace the world?" Cao Pi shook his head a little absently: "The Jiu Pinguan Law has made our great Wei Guoli become stronger and stronger, but the Emperor Xian once said that work can also rejuvenate the country. Liu Bei used this to rejuvenate the Han, everyone For the sake of the princes, it should be clear that the New Han is constantly growing by means of work, and the princes can no longer treat the old law as a cheap job! "
Chen Qun and others heard the words and their hearts were complicated.
This is probably the advantage of the chaotic world. If in the prosperous world, workers want to develop and gain a higher social status, the resistance in front of them will be so desperate.
But now, in times of chaos, people in the world still control a lot of resources, but they are split into countries and strongly support Cao Wei, which means that the strength of the scholars on the New Han side will be weakened. Unwilling to admit, but only accept the fact that the work can indeed strengthen the country, even if he is unwilling, in order not to be pressured by the Han Dynasty, he can only continue to strengthen himself by enhancing the status of the craftsman. No one would be willing to do so for his own interests. When Cao Cao was alive, he was able to stand in the way of the public and vigorously promote the promotion of industry and agriculture, but now Cao Cao is gone. , But sacrificed Cao Pi's right to speak.
At least, Cao Pi cannot be as arbitrary as Cao Cao. As long as the officials oppose it, Cao Pi does not dare to really violate the will of the people. Let them understand the importance of attaching importance to the development of craftsmen.
"Chen waits to understand!" Chen Qun and others can only bow to Cao Pi.
"Yuan Zhong!" Cao Pi nodded his head and said no more. He believed that both Chen Qun and Sima Yi were wise men in the world and would understand the truth, but looked at Cao Rui.
"Children are here!" Cao Rui stepped forward silently. There was not much fluctuation in expression or tone of voice. The feeling of calmness was like a pool of standing water. This feeling was more frightening.
"These four people are my great Wei Zhongchen! After I go, you are in charge of the state affairs. When you rely on these four people, there is no doubt!" Cao Pi looked at his son and pointed at the four people. General Cao, two heavy ministers of North Korea and China, Cao Pi also took some pains to avoid Cao Rui being aerial.
"Children understand!" Cao Rui nodded, then bowed to the four people to salute: "The lonely young and ignorant, if there are any mistakes in the future, the four Neptune are not hesitant!"
"Prince said seriously, I would like to try my best!" The four did not dare to accept the gift, and quickly turned sideways and bowed at the same time.
"Okay." Cao Pi waved a little weakly: "Yuan Zhong stays, all the princes, let's retreat first!"
"Well, the minister waited to resign!" The four quickly bowed to leave, keeping the posture of bowing and saluting, silently retreating until they retreated outside the hall before they got up, and each dispersed after a ceremony.
Silence returned to the palace, and the inner attendants also retreated, leaving only the father and son relatively speechless.
Cao Rui did not speak, but just waited quietly. He was used to being alone. If not necessary, he could not say a word for three days.
Seeing Cao Rui look like this, Cao Pi sighed: "Do you hate me?"
"Hate!" Cao Rui said flatly.
Cao Pi was choked by Cao Rui's frankness. He would have died himself, thinking that his son would at least act like this ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Only now found that he thought too much.
"It's not long before my father died, so you said, don't worry about feeling for your father?" Cao Pi asked.
"When the father emperor killed his mother, did he ever think about how the mother and her sons felt?" Cao Rui asked back.
"Junjun Chenchen, father and son Gangchang, my son ..."
"So, the sons hate Confucianism!" Cao Rui said at the end, with a touch of coldness in his eyes, that coldness, even if Cao Rui took charge of the temperament of the world's Liu Zai tempered, could not help but shudder.
"You say that, I'm not afraid I will abandon you !?" Cao Pi smiled and shook his head bitterly.
"The world is yours, to whom you are willing to pass, and it is up to the father emperor to decide, but if I can't succeed to the throne, Cao Wei will die!" Cao Rui said indifferently.
"I wasn't worried before, but now, I'm a little worried." Cao Pi shook his head. Among the sons, no one could compare with Cao Rui in terms of talent or courage.
"I know that I am so ashamed of your mother and son, and I don't want to say much. I just hope my children can treat those brothers well!" Cao Pi smiled bitterly.
"The father emperor is assured that how the father emperor treated those uncles at that time, and how the children would treat the brothers!" Cao Rui said indifferently.
"You ..." Cao Pi only felt a chest block and glared at Cao Rui: "They are all your brothers!"
"The royal family has no kinship, this is what you taught!" Cao Rui stood up silently, bowed to Cao Pi and said: "If there is nothing else, the children will resign!"
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the palace unrequitedly. Cao Pi looked at Cao Rui's back in a disappointed manner. Suddenly he felt endless regrets. Turning into a bitter smile, he lay back silently on the bed. It took a long time before he raised his voice to the curtain above his head: "Come here, I want to sue!"
