Chapter eight hundred and five. The ability of a hypocrite
This night was a sleepless night. The mixed brigade of 3,500 people, and all Jianrui Camps were waiting for the game. Even Wang Hou himself was wearing armor and guarding the window all night. When he met Xu Yue's change of the door, Cao Zhang himself was still in a mess and worried for the middle of the night.
In the early morning, he was sleepy for a while, but before half an hour of sleep, a rapid call came from the pillow. He opened his eyes uncomfortable, and the little face of the little maid Taiyu who was pulled from Wang Hou's hand suddenly came into his eyes.
"Wake up, lord!"
"The prince is here!"
"What prince..."
His head was still confused, and he sat on the bed with a trembling heart. After a few seconds, Cao Zhang suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.
"My brother Cao Zihuan is here?"
When Wang Hou took down Luoyang and Cao Pi, he caught Cao Pi off guard. Cao Pi came to the door in person and caught Wang Hou off guard. He didn't even have time to wash his face and put on a robe. When Cao Zhang hurried to the living room, Cao Pi was already sitting with Wang Hou's host and guest.
Wang Hou's own skin also twitched slightly inadvertently. To be honest, looking at Cao Pi, who was sitting in front of him, calmly holding a teacup and drinking tea, he really had the urge to pull out his hand and shoot him down with a shot.
The opportunity is so rare! I only brought fewer than a few guards, and I could almost be considered as entering the mansion alone! Just as Sima Yi thought, a dead political enemy is a good political enemy, and the murderous intention is like poison, rippling in Wang Hou's heart.
However, just as Cao Pi dared not take action now, Wang Hou could not take action either, because like Cao Pi's concerns, he also did not want to fight the Han Empire that was divided.
If Cao Pi and Sima Yi were here now, they might have both told them! But now Cao Pi is the only one. If he is killed, Sima Yi can support Cao Pi's eldest son Cao Rui, and Cao Pi was killed when he visited his younger brother. In terms of benevolence, filial piety and morality in this era, he and Cao Zhang fell into the criticism of the entire Central Plains scholars and officials. Even if Emperor Xian of Han was concerned about enthroning these verbals, they could not suppress these verbals.
Moreover, if the whole country is unified, even if the opponent is Sima Yi, he will fight in the civil war. Now Cao Cao has passed away and regrets it, but it is like a shackle being opened in Wang Hou's heart. He is really not afraid of anyone in the war.
But now, there is still a Bashu Eastern Wu standing in the world. Now the war with Cao Pi's forces is in full swing. God knows whether Liu Bei and Sun Quan will get a bargain. In the Three Kingdoms era, there is no fuel-efficient lamp.
"Third brother! Brother Yu was busy with funeral yesterday and failed to welcome my brother and brother-in-law into the city. I'm really sorry, I hope I'll forgive you!"
He couldn't tell that he was going to kill last night, so he stood up suddenly, with a kind smile and a helpless and tired look on his face. Cao Pi bowed heavily with his fists, which made Cao Zhang stunned and hurriedly followed him with a fists and a heavy greeting.
"Brother, I'm so serious!"
After the salute, the sadness became stronger again, and Cao Pi seemed to sigh with great sadness.
"Before my father passed away, I was still muttering about my third brother. Unfortunately, God did not allow him to do so. The Western Regions were too far away. Even if my brother sent an envoy to whip his horse, he would not be able to let his third brother meet his father for the last time. It was really a big mistake!"
"Brother, don't say it anymore! It's Ziwen who is unfilial!"
Before he could see Cao Cao for the last time, Cao Zhang felt particularly worried. Now Cao Pi deliberately took the fault on himself, which aroused the pain in Cao Zhang's heart. His voice trembled even more, and he bowed even more sadly.
After a moment of dullness, Cao Pi clasped his fists again and asked for help.
"I am stupid for my brother. My brother-in-law and my third brother came to attend the funeral and worship. My brother-in-law has been delayed here for a long time. I have already prepared a carriage for my brother-in-law at the door! Can I ask my brother-in-law and my third brother to go with me?"
"Please, Prince!"
Here, Wang Hou finally got into the mouth. Looking at Cao Zhang who was in a state of sorrow and Cao Pi who was full of brotherly style, he sighed in his heart. Wang Hou made a hand-comparing move to the outside.
Although Cao Pi himself did not know where Cao Cao was buried, the place where the worship was still fixed was fixed in the place designated by Cao Cao during his lifetime, west of Ximen Bao Temple, a barren land that did not occupy fertile land.
Although he was riding Cao Pi's carriage this time, Wang Hou's troops were still with the carriage. The three thousand mixed brigade escorts did not stop the troops guarding the city.
Although the tomb was buried for a short time, the soldiers still cleaned up the weeds and filth according to the etiquette, and then killed three animals on the spot, enshrined the heads of cattle, sheep and pigs in front of Cao Cao's tomb. The three of them knelt on the tomb and observed silently for an entire hour, and then marching incense and other etiquettes, the sky had become dark.
"The third brother, brother-in-law, my father made his last wish before his death. He should not abandon or be buried with his old clothes and utensils, but should be distributed to his brothers and nephews. These days, I have sorted out yours. Let me go to the Tongquetai to get yours!"
"I'm sorry, brother!"
Cao Zhang agreed as he said, but Wang Hou did not say a word and nodded silently. However, as soon as he walked out of the tomb and looked back, Cao Pi suddenly sighed in an extremely deep voice.
"God is jealous of talent! My father has been taking it as his mission to support the world and pacify the troubled times for his whole life. He has a shout to wipe out all the heroes. But he has never seen the day when the world is unified. There are Sun Quan in the south and Liu Bei in the west. These two thieves deceive the world and steal the reputation and cause harm to one side! There are also people who are undeadly thieves who are secretly lurking, which makes his father uneasy and have to divide the tombs of seventy-two places!"
"I wish I could send troops to sweep the world now, to put down these ugly groups, and to give my father peace of mind!"
Listening to Cao Pi's long sigh, Cao Zhang's body trembled violently again. Looking at his kindness, filial piety and thoughtful appearance, Wang Hou himself couldn't help but sigh. No wonder he could accomplish anything. If he hadn't known that Cao Pi forced Cao Zhi to become a poem in seven steps, poisoned Cao Zhang, and killed Zhen Mi in cold blood. When she died, she even made the rice bran stuff her mouth and her long hair covered her face, she would have been blinded by his performance.
But even if I know it in my heart, what if I do? Cao Zhang is already in great turmoil!
Shaking his head and following Cao Pi, Wang Hou got on the carriage without saying a word.
In the next few days, the political style was settled, and the atmosphere in the entire Yecheng seemed to ease. With Cao Zhang and Cao Pi showed his face everywhere, either for sacrifices or for gatherings. This scene of harmony between brothers made him feel vivid. In this case, because of this political turmoil, Yecheng, which could no longer be seen on the streets, became lively again.
On the eighth day after entering the city, while Wang Hou was looking at the official document dullly in front of the big case where he was working, Cao Zhang suddenly rushed in with great excitement.
"Brother-in-law! I want to use the support of my elder brother, Huan as King of Wei, and I also want to help him ascend to the throne!"
"Father worked hard for a lifetime to have the current situation. I don't want it to be ruined by you and me!"
This is a complete brainwashing, but it is not this temperament, nor is it Cao Zhang anymore! Although he was mentally prepared, Wang Hou still sighed, but without saying a word, he nodded straightly.
"good!"
A sense of excitement appeared in his pupils, and he didn't say much. After bowing heavily, Cao Zhang turned around and ran out in a hurry, watching him not even close the door, but Wang Hou touched it from his arms with a headache and took out a bag.
Eight days ago, outside the city, Jia Xu and four others came to visit. Jia Xu clasped his fists, but Wang Hou opened his arms to hug him. At this moment, the tip was stuffed into Wang Hou's arms by him.
All wise men cherish their words like gold, and Jia Xu is no exception. His treasure only has four words.
No time!
He looked at the notes in the tips again, and then he immediately formed a ball. He opened his mouth and ate the notes.
Chapter completed!
