At the end of the fifth year of Yankang, the censor Duan Xia and others successively submitted memorials, impeaching the Minister of Personnel Chen Qun for the position of a person and arbitrarily attracting traitors, which led to the unfavorable victory of the emperor in the west. Chen Qun was forced to resign and was released as the governor of Yuzhou and was promoted to the Minister of Personnel Chen Jiao as the Left Minister of Personnel.

Chen Jiao, whose courtesy name is Ji Bi, is from Guangling. His original surname is Liu. He was adopted by his mother and changed his surname to Chen. He was once the right-hand man of Xuzhou Governor Chen Deng, and his descendant Chen Deng led the state. Compared with his predecessor Chen Qun, this person has a lower background and tends to be neutral in politics. I believe that he will not open more convenient doors to the aristocratic families.

More importantly, Shixun and Chen Jiao's former leader Chen Deng were both in-laws and good friends, and Chen Deng's second son Chen Jun was also a disciple of Shixun. He followed Shixun's order and went to find this cousin and junior brother Chen Jun. He took care of his daily life and walked around with Chen Jibi. "He is an old official of your father, and you can get help from your official position." Chen Jun was not stupid, and immediately accepted the order: "Jun knew about it, and he would not miss his brother's affairs."

Since Chen Qun stepped down, then Xun could take action to get Prince Cao Pi. One day he entered the palace and discussed state affairs with Cao Cao, he said to him and said to Cao Cao: "Xun has thoughts, but there is no confirmation, so he dare not make any suggestions."

Cao Cao said don't do this. Since you have started the article, you must have a later sentence, "It's okay to say it straightforwardly, I won't blame you." So Shixun said, I always feel that he dared to steal military rations and even used moldy food to make up his numbers. This courage is a little too great...

"Ma Qi is a member of Ma Deheng (Ma Jun). I have asked about Deheng, but I said that Ma Qi is greedy for money and good deeds, but does not say that he is a brave person. Now, can he be instigated by others?"

Cao Cao heard the string song and realized the elegant meaning. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Hongfu is not entrusted by Zihuan?" You have been asked by Cao Pi, so you came to speak nice things for him.

Upon hearing this, Shixun quickly rested and said, "Now the prince is in a state of custody, how dare I communicate with him? I am afraid there is a fraud in it. I am afraid that the country will shake, so I dare to express my love."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "If I suspect that Zi Huan sent Ma Qi to steal the valley, you can say that. What's the point now?" Even if someone instigated Ma Qi, his purpose was to frame Cao Pi. After all, Cao Pi could not escape the charge of improper employment of people.

Shixun hurriedly said, "But please send the capable officials to thoroughly investigate this case, so as not to let the sluts get the plan."

Cao Cao said that I had sent the assassination to investigate the school affairs. Unfortunately, Ma Qi died and the clues were cut off. No matter how he found out, he could not find out. Speaking of this, he sat on the couch, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice and said to Shixun: "By my guess, it may be the tricks of the Shu people, or... or the plans of the kings, what do Hongfu think?"

Shixun was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself that Boss Cao, you are really "difficult to be false". Even if you are in the situation, you can calculate the matter almost exactly. Since that's the case, I really don't need to say anything more... I'll consider the problem from another perspective, and it's useless to say it. It's impossible to affect Cao Cao's perception of Cao Pi. So he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'll take your leave."

Cao Cao waved at him, signaling you not to go first and to speak closer. He Xun walked forward and heard Cao Cao continue to whisper: "If you make a trick by the Shu people, it will be useless to investigate; if you do it by the kings... it will only cause people's hearts!" If you really find out that my sons secretly fought in secret, it may cause even more turmoil in the court.

Shixun thought to myself that if I didn’t know that Cao Zhang was poisoned to death, maybe I really believed you, and now a son died at the hands of man. If you don’t believe it, you don’t want to understand the truth. But Cao Cao probably realized that he used Ma Qi to steal military rations to smear Cao Pi, and the person who poisoned Cao Zhang was probably the same person. Therefore, as long as the investigation of the poisoning case is increased and the mastermind behind it is found, Ma Qi’s case will be solved without investigation.

So far, through the news from Lu Hong, Shixun knew that the school affairs investigation has not made any major progress. The longer the time goes, the truth will sink even more. Only the relationship between you and Cao Pi, if you are injured twice, you will be able to see the bones. It may be difficult to heal in a short period of time...

Let me just explain it clearly. "The prince was first established, less than one year old, and when he encountered this incident, Chen Changwen also resigned for it, because he was afraid that the court and the country would shake. I would like to ask the Supreme Punishment to pardon the prince to calm people's hearts."

Cao Cao frowned slightly and suddenly asked Shixun: "You think, what is Zihuan?"

Shi Xunxin said what does this question mean? Do you really want to give up Cao Pi? You have to say good things about Cao Pi against your conscience: "You are smart, kind and generous..."

Cao Cao sneered and interrupted Shixun's words: "It's indeed smart, but the four words "benevolent and generous" are definitely not real comments!" Then he gritted his teeth: "Zhen's family still knew that he would be the one who asked his brother to apologize, but I ordered my son Huan to abandon Chai, so I dare not say anything! The couple has been together for several years, and they have a daughter, but they are so cold and weak!"

Shixun quickly helped Cao Pi to defend himself: "Why dare not follow the king and father with a destiny? This is called loyalty and filial piety. How can you blame him for being cold and despicable?"

Cao Cao waved his hand: "The Chai woman is a ignorant person. If Zihuan had not heard of it, how could she have such difficulties? You should think about your own faults and use yourself to replace Chai. I am not a cruel person, and you may allow her to be punished and stay."

Shi Xun thought that Cao Pi was a cold-hearted person, that was right. And as Cao Cao said, even if Chai was wrong, if you listened to her, you used Ma Qi, that bastard, and how could you push all the mistakes onto a woman? But if you think about the problem from another perspective, your father was furious. In order to keep his position as the prince, how could Cao Pi dare to disobey his order? Cao Cao said, "I am not a cruel person." This is just talking lies with your eyes open, and you also said, "Maybe he can be allowed to be punished and kept." What does this word "or" mean? It means that even if Cao Pi dares to harden his neck and yell in for his little wife, you can't really spare Chai. Instead, you will turn both the couple into...

Hearing Cao Cao continue to say, "As a ruler, you should not listen to women's words, or be deceived by villains. You are free and you will follow him, and you want me to give him the country. Is it okay? I am still there, so that I can put eyeliners in the palaces of the princes. Why not be anxious if that is..." He became more and more excited as he spoke, but then he realized that Cao Zhang was poisoned to death and the school affairs reported the rumors from the people, pointing to Cao Pi. It is impossible for Xun to know about this, so I shouldn't have put eyeliners in front of him. So I quickly stopped talking, picked up the crispy cheese on the table and took a sip.

Shi Xun had to pretend not to hear Cao Cao's second half of the sentence, and just comforted him: "The prince is still young. If he is not careful, your majesty should supervise him personally. If he is disinterested, he will take advantage of the Western thieves." No matter who framed Cao Pi, let's just regard it as a conspiracy in Western Shu. You can't get their word to them because of this. It's better to have a good relationship with the prince.

Cao Cao nodded: "I know it, and Hongfu can retreat."

Shixun came out of the palace and returned to the mansion. He secretly said to Shifu, Huan Fan: "The emperor is very dissatisfied with the prince, and it seems to be an easy-to-can-eat. I will try to persuade him now, and it will never be able to shake the emperor's heart. I hope there is no more trouble. As time goes by, I can slowly overcome it." I have been in vain today. Cao Cao had a very big idea. The older he was, the more he could not listen to others' words. Now, the plan is that I can only hope that nothing will happen, so that time can smooth out the rift between father and son.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. Soon, news came from Guandong that Cao Zhang's former general Cheng Xi was in rebellion in Rencheng, robbing Zhang's remains, and wanted to seek justice in Luozhong, accusing the real prince Cao Pi of murdering Zhangye. Although the unrest was quickly suppressed, the skeleton of Cao Ziwen was destroyed by war, and after this incident, it was equivalent to putting Cao Pi's murder of his brothers on the surface.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was angry and angry, and fell ill. He immediately ordered the school officials to search for Cheng Xi's family during the illness. The three tribes were killed and the case was thoroughly investigated. The school officials caused a large number of prisons, and 70% of the officials in Rencheng and nearby Dongping and Shanyang counties were arrested. Most of them were "dead" in prison.

The ministers advised Cao Cao to lenient the prince to stop the rumors and withdraw the school affairs. The case was handed over to the formal judicial supervision system Censorate for investigation and handling. However, Cao Cao not only refused to obey, but instead was demoted to more than 20 court officials. The highest was actually the Censor Cui Lin.

Huan Fan advised Shixun: "The emperor's heart is in chaos, so be careful not to touch his backward scales, so you can sit and watch." Shixun nodded immediately: "What Yuan Ze said is, I should remain silent."

The two were talking in the study, and suddenly heard a voice from Shifu from outside the door: "Sir, please see me again." Shixun summoned him, Shifu bowed in, then closed the door, looked at Huan Fan, turned to Shixun and said, "Last night, the prince asked the Supreme Lord to pay homage to the Supreme, and he talked for several hours..."

With Huan Fan present, he could not say something too clearly. After all, although Huan Yuan seemed to have been trusted by Shi Xun, his in-depth understanding of the decision-making level was still far worse than Guan Jing back then. He had no idea about it because he set up an intelligence network and secretly colluded with the school affairs. Last night, the conversation between Cao Pi and Cao Cao was passed on today. This news was naturally sent by Lu Hong. Shi Xun knew it very well, and there was no need to say it out loud.

It turned out that Cao Pi was imprisoned in the palace recently and it was difficult to communicate with the outside world. However, Cheng Xi's rebellion was so big that he could not fully know that Cao Cao was not really treating his son as a prisoner and was feeling uncomfortable because of this, and he was unable to sleep or eat. After thinking about it, he decided to have a good talk with his father openly.

So, in the name of visiting the sick, he personally went to Cao Cao's bed and pointed out that Cao Zhang's murder had nothing to do with him. Finally, he was sincere and said with tears in his eyes: "My son is dull and it is difficult to be the important task of the crown prince. He was only because his elder brother was sick (this is the official statement of Cao Ang's resignation from the position of crown prince), and then he continued it. However, if his brother was guilty of possessing a treasure, his brothers competed for him, and he lost his compassion. If Your Majesty said that his minister was not worthy of his position, I would resign and retire to the vassal state, as was the case with the elder brother. However, if I was a slander for my brother, I would not be able to bear it. My son and Ziwen's compatriots would be able to endure it? Such things are even beasts, let alone my son!"

Cao Cao sneered, "I am going, and you have placed your eyes and ears on your brother's side, but you still make Ziwen die. Then you cannot recognize people, and it will be clear!" As he said that, he took a long breath: "If you resign from the position of crown prince, who can take it?"

When Cao Pi heard this, he was shocked. He didn't know that Cao Cao was going to come true, or he just wanted to test himself. After thinking about it carefully, if he abdicated, who is the prince is not his father, and he has to ask for his own opinions? This must be tested. But how should we answer? Say Cao Zhi is suitable? Although he is a mother, he really doesn't like the fake thing. If Cao Zhang is still alive, he must mention the name of Ziwen. Say Cao Chong is suitable... Cao Cao always loves Cao Chong, so maybe he will take it seriously...

However, the situation cannot be considered for too long, so he replied: "Please restore the position of elder brother." Cao Cao shook his head: "Since it has been abolished, how can we re-establish it?" Cao Pi had no choice but to blurt out in a hurry: "In terms of order, Zi Jianke..." (~^~)
