Chapter 196: State of Wei or King Wei?(1/2)
The amount of information about this news was too great. When Cao Pi heard this news, he was silent for a long time before he let the slander go down.
The originally bustling lobby became a little dull because of this news.
However, Cao Pi's silence did not last long, and soon he raised his head and there was no fear in his eyes.
Of course he knew why Wang Su died at this time, but this did not mean that he was afraid.
If it is a river, you have to cross it; if it is a mountain, you have to climb it. There is nothing that cannot be done.
The difference is whether it is difficult or not.
But no matter how difficult it is, if you don’t do it, how do you know that you can’t do it?
When the news of Wang Su's death came, Cao Pi knew that the road ahead was already full of thorns.
But Cao Pi was not afraid, but was very excited.
Challenges are always a little more thrilling.
Besides, he cannot be afraid.
The aides present saw the calm expression on Cao Pi's face, and their original fear and worries slowly dissipated.
If even Cao Pi is panicked, then who can keep his men calm?
"Everyone, Wang Su died at this time, how do you think you can deal with it."
"Who took the action of Wang Su's death?"
Chen Qun looked at Cao Pi, then turned to look at his colleagues in the lobby, his eyes shining and his tone was even more obscure.
"We didn't do it." Chen Qun added a sentence afterwards.
Killing Wang Su is of no use to Cao Pi. Not only is it useless, it will lose its bargaining chips.
Cao Pi actually didn't care whether Wang Su died or not. What he cared about was what benefits Wang Su could bring to him.
It is obvious that the living Wang Su can involve Wang Lang and aristocratic families, while the dead Wang Su cannot involve Wang Lang and aristocratic families. Not only can they not involve the aristocratic families and Wang Lang, but they will anger them instead.
Now, the aristocratic family can hold this shit pot on their heads and say that Wang Su was assassinated by him.
Another point is very important. Now Cao Pi’s chips are gone, while Wang Lang’s chips are still there.
As for Wang Su's murder, after his death, it was nothing.
The dead are the greatest, and even if Wang Su killed someone, others were already dead at this time, and all the sins were hidden after death.
"Who Jun thinks it was the move."
Cao Pi's eyes were gloomy, but his tone was very calm.
"If it's not us, it may be the Luoyang Marquis Mansion, but the greater possibility is Wang Lang himself."
Wang Lang himself?
Not only Chen Qun, but Wu Zhi also frowned.
"June, Wang Lang is Wang Su's father, and he is not a child. Wang Lang claims to be a gentleman. How could he do such a thing? Moreover, the King of Donghai sacrificed a talent for the benefit of the aristocratic families. Junhou thinks that Wang Lang is such a selfless person?"
Wu Zhi’s question is also a question for many people present.
Cao Pi looked at Wu Zhi and said, "I naturally thought so before, but after meeting Wang Lang at Dali Temple, I knew he might have done this, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive and ruthless."
Seeing that his son was not as good as he expected, he sacrificed him as a useless waste, and not let him die, but ordered his own order to end his life. What kind of heart can do such a thing?
No matter what, Wang Su is still your Wang Lang’s son!
"You may think that Wang Lang cannot kill his son. Yes, even you think so. Who will harm Wang Su, the handsome man of the Donghai Wang family? At this time, who is the biggest enemy of the aristocratic family in the court? Besides, you only see Wang Lang's efforts, why can't you see the gains after he gives? Although the Donghai Wang family is now glorious, you all understand that this is just walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, it will be the end of the death of the clan. Wang Lang is so walking on thin ice. For the sake of the future of the family, what will happen if he kills his son?"
Cao Pi looked around the staff in the hall deeply and said, "If your family is in danger and has to use the lives of your parents and children to continue the family, what will you do?"
This question is very sharp and practical, but the people in the hall were shocked and confused.
If the family perishes, not to mention the son, all the wives and the clan members are buried with each other. Although this choice is difficult, the people present also know how to choose.
"Wang Su's death must have been done by Wang Lang."
Now that Cao Pi said this, although the people present felt a little uncomfortable, no one spoke up to refute it.
If it were as follows what Cao Pi said, Wang Lang would have done so.
If it were them, maybe they would do this...
"Everyone, the aristocratic family will definitely attack this marquis when Wang Su dies. Let me talk about how to resolve this attack by the aristocratic family."
Wu Zhi, Sima Yi and Chen Qun looked at each other, but Cao Zhen, who was drinking aside, stood up.
"Zihuan, I'll talk!"
"Zi Dan?"
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Cao Zhen, with a smile on his face.
"If Zi Dan has a clever plan, of course he can tell it."
Cao Zhen smiled and said, "I think Junhou is afraid of Wang Lang. He is just a corrupt scholar who killed his son. At most, he is a little cruel. It is not worth worrying. The aristocratic family is in the court. Why must Junhou fight with the aristocratic family? If I listen to me, I will lead the army back and kill these aristocratic families one by one, and there is nothing to do. How can I think of so many things?"
Although I knew that Cao Zhen could not spit out any ivory in his mouth, Cao Zhen's words still made Cao Pi laugh and cry.
"Zi Dan, if it can really be as you think, then things will be simple. Will I still frown here?"
No problem that can be solved with fists is a problem, but the key problem cannot be solved with fists.
Although the aristocratic family is a cancer of Wei, it is also one of the components of Wei and the most important component. These two points sound a bit refuted, but in fact it is indeed the case.
When Cao Cao conquered the world, he relied on these aristocratic families. In other words, if Cao Cao became emperor, these aristocratic families could also be regarded as heroes from the Dragon.
If we use the army to attack the aristocratic families on the surface, it will undoubtedly be the foundation of Wei.
Of course, Cao Pi would not do such a self-drawing of the foundation.
Moreover, even if Cao Pi wanted to do this, it would be difficult to do it.
The aristocratic family seems to have only a few corrupt scholars, who are very good at talking and have no other abilities at all.
But this is just a manifestation.
Don’t forget that the talents of this era come from aristocratic families.
If you want to attack the aristocratic family, you will undoubtedly attack most of the officials of the Wei State.
The scope of this wave is too wide. If the aristocratic family rebounds slightly, the Wei Kingdom will fall apart in an instant, and a new chaotic world will begin.
If it is as Cao Zhen said, how could Cao Zihuan need to fight wits and courage with an old man like Wang Lang?
Cao Pi waved his hand at Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhen was just complaining. He also knew that this kind of decisive thing was not something he could do, so he simply sat down and drank without any brains.
Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhen and just shook his head slightly.
Although Cao Zhen’s words were mostly nonsense, they also spoke to the heart.
Wang Lang killed his son naturally to overthrow the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, but there was no need to be afraid of him, Wang Lang.
I, Cao Pi, are not an easy person.
"Everyone, are there really no plan to talk to me?"
The three of them hesitated for a while, but in the end, Sima Yi stood up.
Sima Yi was wearing an official robe, bent down and looked very humble. He was not very handsome, but his appearance looked like a villain, but his temperament he developed acquired makes people notice him as soon as he stood up and looked at him.
"June, Sima Yi has something to say."
"If you want to say it, you don't need to ask for instructions in the marquis' mansion."
Sima Yi bowed to Cao Pi again before he said it.
"Wang Lang will definitely blame the Lord and Hou, just like the Lord and Hou designed Wang Su. If the Lord and Hou treat him with his own way, I am afraid Wang Lang will do this."
Cao Pi nodded. If the aristocratic family created a dead soldier who was not afraid of death and said he was an assassin, and the dead soldier insisted that it was Cao Pi's work, that would be funny.
By then, this thing was not done by Cao Pi, that is, it was done by Cao Pi.
Because he is the most likely person to do such a thing.
The murder of Wang Lang's son will naturally arouse sympathy from the people and even those neutral families.
Then the situation will be even more unfavorable to you.
If this matter is handled improperly, it will not be a matter of the five Northern Army leaders and the Central Leaders, as well as the survival of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
"Since Zhongda mentioned this problem, I think there is a solution."
Sima Yi nodded and said, "There is indeed a way to say it is very good, but I guess it can only be said to be a stop loss for Junhou."
"Only stop loss?"
Sima Yi nodded and said, "Wang Lang killed his parents and children. After paying such a price, he must have a lot of things. If he really put Junhou in it in the end, Junhou would probably be even more difficult to end. If Wang Lang's impact on his son killing was completely offset, it would not be possible for him to make up for it."
Cao Pi nodded and asked, "What is the stop loss that Zhongda said?"
Sima Yi didn't ask Cao Pi to wait for long, and immediately said the words.
"This strategy is to break the arm."
