Chapter 168: Aristocratic Family, Marquis of Luoyang, Marquis of Chang'an!(1/2)
In the palace, Wang Lang and Cheng Yu failed to make the King of Wei decide, so they had to make a decision by themselves.
And how to make a decision, this matter was placed in front of the two of them.
Cheng Yu didn't know Wang Lang's thoughts, but he knew the abnormality of this matter.
The two were in high positions, but the high positions were extremely cold, especially at this time, the King of Wei was seriously ill and could not handle the court affairs.
If he is really seriously ill and cannot handle the court, it would be fine. Cheng Yu was afraid that if this was pretending by Boss Cao, it means that his every move now has attracted the attention of King Wei.
And how to do it yourself is very important.
Cheng Yu originally wanted to throw the pot to Wang Lang, but Wang Lang didn't know what he was thinking and was not in a hurry to make a decision.
Therefore, in the hall of affairs, the two of them fell silent, but they understood in their hearts that such silence could not solve the problem. The decisions must be made within the next one or two hours.
This decision is very important, even related to the stability of Yecheng and the entire world, as well as who will be the future King of Wei.
Moreover, no matter what decision it is, it will be very difficult for Cheng Yu.
You know, the current Marquis of Luoyang is not the freshman Luoyang Marquis of a few years ago.
From a closer look, Yecheng, not only the Xin family supports Luoyang Hou, but even the Xun family in Yingchuan, which has a considerable force in the court, stood behind Luoyang Hou. In addition, Luoyang Hou was also a disciple of Wen Ruogong. Wen Ruogong recommended many people in the court in the past. In the court and in the local area, many officials were favored by Wen Ruogong. To repay this kindness, in addition to the Xun family, they could only repay Luoyang Hou.
It can be imagined that the Marquis of Luoyang has Xun’s legacy and has great influence and energy in itself.
And not only that.
The Marquis of Luoyang was also deeply loved by the King of Wei. He was not only the Marquis of Wanhu, but also the General of the Cavalry, and he had tens of thousands of military power.
Nanying, thirty miles away from Yecheng, turned out to be the power of the Marquis of Luoyang. Although it was reshuffled by the King of Wei, many people inside were still loyal to the Marquis of Luoyang.
This is an army that cannot be underestimated.
This is just a close place. In the distance, to the south is Yangzhou. As the defeated party, its aristocratic family naturally did not have the right to participate in the scraping meeting of the Wei State.
However, in order to ensure that the Yangzhou family will not become a political victim and strengthen itself on the basis of preserving itself, the Yangzhou family has climbed to the high branches of the Luoyang Marquis.
The Marquis of Luoyang had sufficient money and supplies to do various things, and became more and more powerful in Yecheng and had an increasingly greater influence. This was inseparable from the support of the Yangzhou family.
For the Marquis of Luoyang, Yangzhou is just one aspect. The one that makes Cheng Yu the most headache now is Liangzhou.
Cheng Yu was not a person with low news, and Cao Chong also reported the war to return to Yecheng. Cheng Yu naturally knew about the situation in Liangzhou.
Those impeachments from the censors are clearly spreading rumors.
But what if you know what they say is fake?
Three people become tigers!
As long as you tell too many lies, it is the truth. There may not be so many gentlemen in history books, because many people are not worthy of the reputation of gentlemen at all, but this is recorded in history books. So the person who was not a gentleman became a gentleman after thousands of years, and the person who was not a villain was recorded in history books as a villain. After thousands of years, he also became a villain.
History has always been written by the winner.
Even though he knew that what the Censor said was false, Cheng Yu still dared not refute it.
Rather than saying that it is not daring, it is better to say that it is useless even if it refutes.
Alas ~
Cheng Yu sighed deeply.
He is Sikong now because he has been with the King of Wei for many years and has prestige in the court and can still suppress some people.
However, for these families that only look at interests, it is not enough to have prestige.
What will happen in the future? Cheng Yu is not sure now.
He only hopes that Cao Cao's illness is pretending and then let himself escape from this whirlpool earlier.
With his own strength, how can he deal with the entire aristocratic family?
Not to mention, he can also be said to be a member of the aristocratic family.
Although the Cheng family in Yingchuan is not as famous as the Xun family in Yingchuan and the Chen family in Yingchuan, it is also a famous family in the world.
Cheng Yu looked at Wang Lang sideways and thought to himself: "You can only take one step at a time."
Of course, although he himself is considered a noble family, he could not have any evil thoughts when thinking about Boss Cao three days ago.
I had to do what Boss Cao gave him.
....................................
Cheng Yu in the palace was struggling, and outside the palace, Cao Pi returned to the mansion and immediately called Wu Zhi, who was handling trivial matters in the mansion. What made Wu Zhi a little strange was that Cao Pi even called Sima Yi over.
Wu Zhi was naturally ready to be summoned by Cao Pi at any time, while Sima Yi did not expect Cao Pi to summon him. At this time, he rushed over in a hurry and felt a little embarrassed.
In the lobby, Cao Pi's expression on his face was not pretty, or even a little ugly.
He first told Wu Zhi and Sima Yi about what happened in the court today, and then he looked at the two of them.
In fact, there is also Chen Qun in Cao Pi's aide group, but Chen Qun can't leave the Shangshutai now, otherwise he would have to call Chen Qun over in the face of such an important thing today.
"What do you think about Ji Chong and Zhongda?"
After hearing Cao Pi's words, Wu Zhi lowered his head and thought, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Sima Yi was also trapped in thought.
Of course, it seems that Sima Yi is thinking more, otherwise why did Wu Zhi look up and speak, but he still lowered his head?
Wu Zhi bowed to Cao Pi and said, "June, Wu Zhi thinks this matter is a bit strange!"
Cao Pi naturally knew that it was strange, otherwise he wouldn't have come back to ask Wu Zhi.
"Where is the weirdness?"
Wu Zhi had no smile on his face and seemed a little serious.
"Looking at the situation, this matter is most beneficial to the Lord and the Lord, but if it is something that is beneficial to the Lord and the Lord, since they want to do it, they will naturally notify the Lord and the Lord in advance. Otherwise, who will they do these things for?"
Cao Pi nodded, but added a sentence to the back.
"Perhaps, the aristocratic family has other ideas. For example, the Luoyang Marquis did too much in Liangzhou, which made the aristocratic families frightened. They were afraid that Cang Shu would inherit the throne of his father, so they took the initiative first, but instead ignored this marquis?"
This is indeed possible.
"impossible!"
But Wu Zhi shook his head and said things straightforwardly.
"Don't you know the character of a noble family and what the noble family is like? After fighting with him or working with him for many years, you still can't see their appearance clearly? The noble family is a jackal, and they will not forget the flesh on the bones, let alone forget to please the noble family. If this matter is beneficial to the noble family, they will not come to ask for credit? There is only one possibility for the noble family to do nothing!"
Hearing Wu Zhi's decisive words, Cao Pi's eyes were slightly brighter and his tall body was quite straight.
"How is that possible?"
"It's very simple, because what the aristocratic family is doing now is not good for the king."
No benefit?
Cao Pi's eyes were obscure and asked, "Why is there no benefit? No matter from any aspect, the aristocratic family takes action against Cang Shu, and I am the one who benefits the most, so why is it not good for me."
Wu Zhi saw the obscure look of Cao Pi's eyes. He did not answer Cao Pi's question, but instead asked another question.
"Why do the aristocratic family deal with the Luoyang Marquis?"
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "The aristocratic family is afraid that the Marquis of Luoyang will take power. According to what Cang Shu did in Liangzhou, if Cang Shu was allowed to do as the King of Wei, then the aristocratic family would have to be suppressed by Cang Shu. Therefore, the aristocratic family took action against Cang Shu."
Wu Zhi nodded and said, "June is so angry that he can see the problem thoroughly, but he still needs to be more thorough."
Cao Pi's eyes lit up and he asked, "How do you say this?"
"The aristocratic family did not allow the Luoyang Marquis to ascend the throne because he felt that the Luoyang Marquis was more threatening to them. The aristocratic family did not attack the Junhou because the Junhou was not disgusted with the aristocratic family. But now, how would the Junhou view the aristocratic family? How would they treat the aristocratic family in the future?"
Wu Zhi’s question is really a sharp hit!
After pondering for a while, Cao Pi said, "You are all my confidants and people whom Cao Pi trusts. I will tell you the truth. The aristocratic family is so powerful that I am afraid of me. Today, he can make Cang Shu unable to become the King of Wei. In the future, he can treat himself in the same way. If I become the King of Wei in the future, I will naturally try every means to weaken the authority of the aristocratic family."
Wu Zhi curled his lips slightly and nodded and said, "This is what aristocratic family does not benefit the king and lord. After these things, lords also have an opinion on the aristocratic family. Such lords are not the ideal rulers in the eyes of the aristocratic family. Only those who are completely at the mercy of the aristocratic family and will not harm the interests of the aristocratic family are called King of Wei and rulers. This is the situation that the aristocratic family is willing to see."
"But if the aristocratic family doesn't choose me as the King of Wei, who can they choose to be the King of Wei?"
"Are the king's descendants the only ones Luoyang Marquis and Junhou?"
When Wu Zhi asked this, Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't speak.
Yes, the father’s son is not just himself and the Marquis of Luoyang. If he wants to be obedient, he can have many choices.
"So, who will the aristocratic family choose?"
Wu Zhi did not answer Cao Pi's question again, but asked another question.
"Can the aristocratic families no longer serve others except the next King of Wei?"
Wu Zhi's question was even more profound, and Cao Pi quickly understood what Wu Zhi wanted to express.
"Ji Chong means, Your Majesty?"
Wu Zhi nodded.
Now Emperor Xian of Han has lost his wildness by Cao Cao. Perhaps he is afraid, but he is the best chess piece to control. No matter whether this chess master is Cao Cao or a family, he thinks Emperor Xian of Han is easy to use.
What Wu Zhi said made Cao Pi's sight rise from the original dispute with Cao Chong to another level.
