Xuchang seemed calm and peaceful.
However, the undercurrents in this city were almost comparable to Ye City.
Cao Cao fought with all the officials in the court and the emperor. Cao Pi wanted to ascend to the throne.
Even Cao Ang.
He could also feel the aura of a storm coming within a few days.
These few days, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu did not dare to meet Cao Pi.
Compared to Cao Pi, the second young master, they were even more unwilling to offend Xiao Bei and Cao Ang.
As for Guo Jia.
He was free and unfettered.
As a military advisor, he joined the army and handled government affairs, but he didn't care about major matters.
Compared to Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and other people who held power, his existence had long been labeled as Xiao Bei's Cao Ang faction.
Chen Liu.
In the backyard of the prefect's mansion.
Chen Qun looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes filled with helplessness as he said: "Father, the lord hasn't even become a major power yet, and the battle for the heir has already reached such a stage. The second young master, who is only nine years old, has already begun to rope in me, the prefect!”
"Haha!"
"This rocking chair of the Marquis of Northhunt is really not bad!" Chen Ji shook the rocking chair and smiled faintly.”
"Father!"
Chen Qun felt a headache.
"Second Young Master is smart!"
"Even though he is much stronger than the Eldest Young Master, he lacks sincerity and respect!”
"Moreover, the people behind Second Young Master are the officials of the court. Even if these people are tied together, they can't compare to Marquis Beishou!”
"If he really dares to attack at this time, when the Marquis of Beishou returns from his attack on Yingchuan, I'm afraid half of the three dukes and nine ministers will be gone, and they will be replaced by the civil and military officials under the Duke of Cao. This is your opportunity to enter the court. Don't be blinded by the benefits promised by the second young master!”
Chen Ji's eyes were filled with ridicule. He did not care that Cao Pi was Cao Cao's son at all!
It was extremely important for the gentry to take sides.
If they were to lose, they would end up with their entire clan being wiped out.
Instead of assisting Cao Pi, he might as well stand on Cao Cao's side and not help the big or the small.
"Is that so?"
Chen Qun frowned.
Chen Ji sighed." Changwen, don't take sides so easily. You're not in Xuchang, so you don't see things as clearly as the boy from the Xun family. Have you heard that he supports the Second Young Master? Moreover, all the officials in the court are Cao Gong's enemies. The outcome of this matter has long been determined!”
"I understand!"
Chen Qun broke out in a cold sweat.
"Idiot!"
"Did Cao Pi agree to your reform?" Chen Ji sighed.”
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Qun said bitterly.
"If you're inferior to others, then you're inferior to others!"
"Marquis Beishou is the head of the scholars under Duke Cao!”
"He is also in charge of the Rong Manor. Have you ever seen such an existence in the history books?”
"Unless Second Young Master becomes the ruler of Yanzhou, as long as Marquis Beishou doesn't agree to it, your Nine-Grade System will never be implemented in Yanzhou!”
" Since he has asked you to be the prefect of Chen Liu, he will definitely work for you in the future. You just have to wait patiently. Perhaps this is the chance. Remember to be careful when you encounter things. If you really can't make a choice, then follow the Beishou Marquis!”Chen Ji's words were full of teachings.
"I understand!"
Chen Qun's face was extremely pale.
Cold sweat seeped out from his back, wetting his brocade robe.
Ever since he came to Yanzhou, he had not moved from his position as the prefect of Chen Liu.
The previous Nine-grade system had been rejected, and the new document had not been submitted to the Xiao Manor. Naturally, they wanted to take another step forward and fight for more rights to speak.
However, after Chen Ji's teachings.
He had given up on Cao Pi and definitely did not want to interfere in the battle for the heir!
"Go!"
Chen Ji waved his hand.
Chen Qun was a member of the Chen family of Yingchuan.
The hope of the entire clan rested on him, and he could not afford to make any mistakes in his decisions.
If they really had to choose between Cao Ang and Cao Pi, the Chen clan would definitely assist Cao Ang. Everything was because of Xiao Bei's existence.
Another day passed.
It was already the day of the conquest of Yingchuan.
Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Cheng Yu boarded the Xuchang Tower.
Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Yue Jin, the deputy generals and soldiers of the four battalions, as well as the officials of the court, all came to watch.
The morning light shone down.
Ten thousand cavalry stood on the school grounds, not making a sound.
Flags were fluttering in the wind, and the spears were emitting cold air. Their battle intent had long been announced in the nine heavens!
"First Battalion!"
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with shock.
Cheng Yu also sighed with emotion." It's earth-shattering. It's even stronger than the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou and the Steel Cavalry of Western Liang!"”
"Yes, I am!"
"What a surprise!"
Cao Cao stroked his beard and sighed." I've never seen such an elite army. Ten thousand men, ten thousand cavalry, but they didn't make a sound. I'm even starting to suspect that this army is the First Battalion under my command!”
"No need to doubt!"
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly." The training of the soldiers of the five battalions is new, and the military laws are extremely strict!”
"Stomp!"
"Stomp!"
"Stomp!"
Footsteps sounded.
Xiao Bei put on his armor and held his sword as he stepped onto the platform.
His silver armor reflected the rising sun and emitted endless light.
Behind him were Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, and three hundred Tiger Guards.
"Look!"
Cao Cao pointed at the platform and said proudly,""I've already said that Xinzhi is more suitable to be a commander. It's a waste of his talent to be a strategist. What poor scholar, civil official, general, aren't they all scholars?”
"Lord, please be wise!"
The civil and military officials didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
