Two transfer orders were issued from the Minister's Office.
One was sent to Chen Liu, and the other to Yingchuan. A shocking conspiracy had begun in Xuchang.
Two days later.
Chenliu City, prefect's office.
Chen Qun took the transfer order and once again found his old father.
Chen Ji got up from the rocking chair and suppressed the excitement in his heart."The officials of the Minister's Office asked you to go to Xuchang?”
"Yes!"
Chen Qun nodded.
"As expected!"
"The Marquis of Beishou's scheme is today!”
Chen Ji paced around the inner hall, his eyes full of excitement.""A while ago, there was a battle report from Yingyang, but there was no more news in the past few days. However, I am sure that Yingchuan has been pacified. All the news has been suppressed in the Minister's Office. You went to Xuchang this time to cooperate with the Marquis of Beishou. At the same time, the internal affairs reform that you submitted will probably have to be carried out!”
"Xuchang is constantly fighting. Do we really have to stand by Cao Gong's side?" Chen Qun asked worriedly.”
"Changwen!"
Chen Ji's eyes were filled with determination as he said,"" You didn't come when the Guo family kid asked you to come to Chen Liu. You can't miss this opportunity again. If you don't make a decision, you'll be in trouble. As long as the Marquis of Beishou has a foothold in Sikong Manor, the Duke of Cao will be the most powerful overlord in the world. And talented people like you won't be suspected by the Duke of Cao because there are even more powerful people standing in front of you!”
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Qun said respectfully.
Chen Ji stroked his beard and said," The Du Family and the Zhong Family have returned from Jingzhou to the north. Take them to Xuchang. I don't dare to guess the changes in the court this time. However, bring more people to make the Marquis of Beishou more well-off. It will also make up for the lack of vacancies. At the same time, it will tell Cao Gong that the Chen Family of Yingchuan is willing to stand behind him!”
"I will!"
Chen Qun bowed and turned to leave the inner hall.
The next day, Chen Qun brought his family, Zhong Yao, and Du Xi to Xuchang.
Probably no one other than Cao Cao knew what Xiao Bei was planning, but they knew that this conspiracy would cause waves in the imperial court.
Five days later.
A carriage entered from the back door of the Xiao Manor.
Ten-some Tiger Guards stood respectfully on both sides, their eyes filled with apprehension.
"Pa da!"
Xiao Bei stepped out of the carriage and his gaze landed on Gan Mei's reddened eyes. He asked in puzzlement,"Xiao Mei, what's wrong with you?"
"Young Master!"
"The fish in the lotus pond died!" Gan Mei said aggrievedly.”
"Dead?"
Xiao Bei's eyes immediately turned cold.
Even if he deliberately left a path, it was his fault for Yang Xiu to step in!
"Young Master!"
One of the Tiger Guards said nervously," Just a few days ago, all these fish suddenly jumped out of their white bellies. Other than when we were near the lotus pond when we were filling the water, we didn't come into contact with them normally. It's not Miss Xiao Mei's fault!"”
"No worries!"
Xiao Bei rubbed Gan Mei's hair and said with a faint smile,"If he's dead, then he's dead!"
"Yes!"
Gan Mei nodded.
Xiao Bei turned to look at Xu Chu and said,"Zhongkang, send someone to bring Zhou Cang to the Embroidered Uniform Guards and invite Man Boning back. Remember to use the back door!"”
"Here!"
Xu Chu nodded.
Go to the lotus pond.
Xiao Bei stood in the stone pavilion and looked at the floating fish with cold eyes.
"Teacher!"
Cao Ang's eyes were filled with worry as he said nervously,""The fish died, which means that there is something wrong with the water that was poured into the lotus pond. This water should have been used to irrigate the grain seeds!”
"Not bad!"
Xiao Bei said indifferently.
Cao Ang immediately clenched his fists and said with an ugly expression,"Is this related to Brother Pi?"
"Haha!"
Xiao Bei shook his head and laughed."The dispute between Sikong and the officials has been dismissed. I support you as the heir, and the officials led by Yang Xiu support Cao Pi. He is just a chess piece pointed out by the officials!"”
"Damn it!"
"Brother Pi is really too muddle-headed!"
Cao Ang's face was ashen." These officials are the bones of the Great Han. How dare they attack the grain seeds? Don't they know that once the grain seeds are ripe and replanted, there will be no more famine in Yanzhou in three years?"”
"Alright!"
Xiao Bei lay on the rocking chair and said indifferently,"I know that you two are brothers, but no matter how much you try to deny it, it won't change the fact that he did something wrong. However, I won't do anything to him.”
"Teacher, do we have to fight?" Cao Ang said bitterly.”
"Of course!"
Xiao Bei took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile," What you are fighting for now is only the position of heir. If Sikong is promoted to duke, then what you are fighting for is the position of heir. One step further, what you are fighting for is the entire world. The dukes fight on the battlefield, and your battlefield is in Sikong's territory. With military achievements, political achievements, and the support of countless civil and military officials, it will not be uncommon for brothers to fight!”
"Hey!"
Cao Ang sighed.
Once upon a time, they were brothers.
However, ever since Cao Cao became Sikong, the entire Cao family had become turbulent.
Not only Cao Pi, but even Cao Zhang treated him coldly. They did not even speak a few words when they met!
"The Tian family has no relatives!"
Xiao Bei's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Today, Cao Ang did not fight, but tomorrow, he would die. The people behind him would also be ostracized. This was a war where there was no blood, and it was more dangerous than killing the enemy on the battlefield!
