Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Yecheng.

Prince's East Palace.

After being appointed as the crown prince by Cao Cao, Cao Pi has officially settled in the East Palace.

Now Cao Pi can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, even though it is still winter.

However, under Sima Yi's persuasion, Cao Pi did not show the joy and satisfaction in his heart every day.

After becoming the prince, more people will pay attention to Cao Pi's words and deeds.

But at this time, there should be no excessive performance that would displease Cao Cao.

That would be a slap in Cao Cao's face.

Therefore, after Cao Pi settled in the East Palace, in addition to assisting Cao Cao in handling government affairs.

Cao Pi accepted the banquets invited by other nobles and officials as he could, and the pace of life did not change significantly from before.

This couldn't help but make Cao Cao, who focused on Cao Pi, quite satisfied.

"Zihuan is able to remain calm about favors and humiliations, and is indifferent to emotions and emotions. It seems that there is no problem for me to give him the position of prince."

"He deserves it."

"It's just that Sima Yi, it's better to find an opportunity to move him to Li Huan's side."

At this time, Cao Cao was chatting with Xun Yu in the palace.

Cao Cao has always had doubts about Sima Yi, and Bai Feng once told him that it would not be a good thing for the Wei Dynasty if Sima Yi could not stay for a long time.

So over the years, although Cao Cao still asked Sima Yi to help Cao Pi make plans, he never promoted Sima Yi.

Now Sima Yi still serves as a literary official, that is, a seventh-rank official.

The things I am responsible for are also similar to secretarial and educational work.

After Cao Pi became the crown prince, he asked Cao Cao for instructions and wanted to promote Sima Yi to the crown prince's young master.

In other words, Sima Yi was given the official position of prince teacher.

Even Cao Cao did not agree.

Although Cao Pi was unhappy, he couldn't say anything more.

"Your Majesty, there is naturally nothing to criticize about His Royal Highness, both in terms of character and ability."

Xun Yu nodded and said.

Xun Yu was quite satisfied that Cao Pi could be appointed as the prince.

Although the Han family finally adopted the surname Cao, because of such strong men as Bai Feng who came from the sky, the man's strength could not be sustained no matter what.

In the end, Xun Yu could only accept the fact that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie gave the throne to Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao wanted to appoint Cao Zhi as the crown prince, which Xun Yu didn't like.

Because the eldest son inherited the throne, it was the orthodoxy passed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

If Cao Cao made Cao Zhi the crown prince, wouldn't he also change the rules passed down by the Han Dynasty?

This is what Xun Yu absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, although Xun Yu never explicitly expressed his support for Cao Zhi or Cao Pi when it came to establishing the crown prince, in his heart he was still more inclined towards Cao Pi becoming the crown prince.

Regarding Sima Yi, Xun Yu thought about it and said to Cao Cao:

"Your Majesty, regarding Sima Zhongda, if you want to transfer him away from His Highness the Crown Prince in the near future, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

"Sima Zhongda is called the counselor of His Highness the Crown Prince. In fact, he is half the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince came to you before and wanted to promote Sima Zhongda to the title of Young Master of the Crown Prince. It should be to give Sima Zhongda the status of a teacher. .”

When Xun Yu said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but nod.

"That's right, Wen Ruo, that's exactly what you said."

"So now I can't have any rift with Zihuan because of Sima Yi."

"This is the hard part."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xun Yu on the side also understood Cao Cao's mood.

It's just that Sima Yi not only showed no dissatisfaction in his position as a literary minister in these years, but also enjoyed his work with gusto.

And Sima Yi didn't have any leverage to fall into Cao Cao's hands.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao was very unhappy with Sima Yi, he could not execute or exile Sima Yi on unfounded charges.

What's more, Cao Pi has been trying to protect Sima Yi.

"Your Majesty, once you take action, you will not give His Highness the Crown Prince a chance to intervene, and you will make it impossible for Sima Yi to stand up!"

Xun Yu, who understood Sima Yi's character, finally said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then said no more.

Inside the East Palace.

Cao Pi was also chatting a lot with Sima Yi about handling government affairs.

"That's it, I finally understand!"

After Sima Yi's advice, Cao Pi said with sudden enlightenment.

Cao Pi had been thinking about how to handle this matter all afternoon. After Sima Yi came, he only gave Cao Pi a few words of advice, and Cao Pi found the key point.

Then Cao Pi said apologetically to Sima Yi:

"Sir, Zihuan is really a little ashamed that he failed to find the position of Prince Young Master from his father this time."

Cao Pi was moved by the fact that Sima Hui had assisted him with the position of a seventh-rank official through literature, and at the same time he felt a lot of guilt towards Sima Yi.

When Sima Yi heard this, he smiled at Cao Pi and said:

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about me because of this matter."

"Whether I am a literary master or a young master of the Crown Prince, aren't the things I do all based on making suggestions for you, Your Highness?"

"There is no essential difference. As long as I can be by your side and advise you, it is enough."

After Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Pi finally couldn't help but said:

"Since my father refuses to promote my husband to an official position, I will definitely give him everything he deserves after I ascend the throne!"

When Sima Yi heard this, his face darkened and he said to Cao Pi:

"Your Highness, be careful what you say!"

But Sima Yi was indeed very happy. His hard work over the years was finally coming to harvest.

"The glory of the Sima family will soon be restored!"

Sima Yi thought to himself.

Cao Pi was shocked when he heard what he said, knowing that if Cao Cao heard what he just said, something serious would happen.

"As long as you understand what I mean, sir."

Cao Pi didn't mention the matter anymore.

Then a eunuch came to the study with a letter.

"Your Highness, this is a letter sent to you by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

The eunuch said outside the study.

"Oh? Send it in!"

Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, and then became curious.

After the eunuch handed the letter to Cao Pi, Cao Pi opened it and read it together.

"Haha, hahaha!"

"It's really a great gift, hahaha!"

After reading the letter, Cao Pi couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Sir, take a look too."

Cao Pi then handed the letter to the curious Sima Yi.

After Sima Yi saw it, he also smiled.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect that Hanzhong would send a steam train as a congratulatory gift!"

Then Sima Yi smiled at Cao Pi.

This is really good news for these two people.
