Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

After giving all the gifts to the four bear children, Cao Ang took Chen Yang to the backyard.

"Some time ago, I was almost able to break through Hulao Pass and take Luoyang, but Sima Yi and the others are really difficult to deal with, and they can't be stopped." Cao Ang complained helplessly.

"Guanzhong and other places, are they still safe now?" Chen Yang asked.

"With me here, it is as solid as gold, and no one can move it."

Cao Ang patted his heart and smiled: "It's just that I don't have Zi'an to help me. I always feel that something is missing. I haven't been back for a long time, and I still feel homesick."

With his current achievements and abilities, with Jiang Wei and Xu Shu by his side, he doesn't need Chen Yang's assistance at all.

Chen Yang said: "Then you just came back, and you didn't go back, but you came to me first, what do Madam Ding and the others think?"

Chen Yang was very touched by this guy doing this, but there was a problem with the sequence.

"I knew Zihuan came to look for you, so I hesitated for a while, thinking I should see you first."

Cao Ang did not hide his thoughts. In the Cao family, the only person who could compete with him was Cao Pi.

The former Cao Pi was left out in the cold, and he had nothing left, so he didn't care.

But it's different now. Cao Cao used Cao Pi again, which shows that it will pose a threat to Cao Ang.

Within the scope of the Cao family, Chen Yang was probably the only person who could influence Boss Cao's successor. With Chen Yang's approval, everything was fine.

The most ruthless emperor's family, the Cao family will soon become the emperor's family, there will be some internal struggles, and even fight to the death, these are normal.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

"Don't think so."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "It used to be the Cao family, I can still help you, and now it's the royal family, do you know how to die the fastest as a courtier?"

Cao Ang asked, "How?"

"Participate in the Inheritance Seizure!"

Chen Yang said directly: "First of all, doing so will cause the monarch's dissatisfaction and be hated by the monarch. Secondly, if the participation fails and the new monarch succeeds, he will definitely kill the subject first. Even if it succeeds, it may not be a good thing. , because this subject knows too much, and will also be feared and suspected by the new king."

In other words, it is really dangerous to participate in the matter of seizing the heir.

If it was before, Cao Ang would definitely refute loudly. If he could succeed, he would definitely not do anything to Chen Yang.

As long as he is still around in the future, Chen Yang's Chen family will definitely exist at the same time as the Cao family.

Now Cao Ang has changed a lot, and he has matured a lot. He can't say similar words anymore. He needs to think about more things, and he hasn't even felt his own changes yet.

Looking at all this, Chen Yang secretly laughed in his heart. Sure enough, people will change, no matter who they are, there is no exception. Of course, he doesn't care about this change.

"After Lao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, I don't bother to get involved in the affairs between you brothers, and don't bother me. If I have to take a stand, I will be neutral."

Chen Yang continued to add: "I can't guarantee whether your brothers will make trouble like before, and no one even knows, so come to win me over to stand on your side, I think you don't want to waste your time."

His words were also very direct, cutting off the rest of Cao Ang's thoughts.

Even though they called each other brothers, they had to show their cards like this.

If it is neutral, it means that no one will help and let them do whatever they want. In the end, he only recognizes the emperor.

After dealing with these things, Chen Yang is still planning to ignore everything and go back to hermit directly, becoming a wandering wild crane.

"I probably understand."

Cao Ang scratched his head and said: "It seems that I still think too much. You can pretend that I never said these words today and forget them."

He didn't want to worry about these small problems, so he smiled casually and put them behind him.

"Zian, what do you think I should do to win Luoyang?"

Cao Ang turned the topic back to marching and fighting.

"Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This alone is not easy."

Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "After Duke Wei proclaims himself emperor, we will soon make a full-scale Northern Expedition. By then, Zhuge Liang will be too busy to take care of himself. It's not too late to go to Luoyang."

They briefly discussed military affairs for a while, and before they knew it, Cao Ang had to go back at night.

-

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The ceremony of Cao Cao proclaiming himself emperor is also about to begin.

Sun Quan and others from Jiangdong got the news in advance and rushed to Xiangyang to meet Boss Cao.

The specific content of their discussion should be Jiangdong's follow-up questions.

Early in the morning of the fifth day, Chen Yang went out to the palace.

There are already crowds of people here, besides the ministers of the imperial court, there are also many members of the Cao family and various families, and many people were invited by Cao Cao to watch the ceremony.

Chen Yang has a very high status here, almost under Boss Cao. As soon as he appeared, everyone surrounded him and greeted him warmly and politely.

"Zian, this way!"

Cao Ang recognized Chen Yang in the crowd at a glance, and pulled him aside.

After a while, Liu Xie and Cao Cao appeared on the high platform together.

"Everyone, from today onwards, I will give way to Duke Wei, and there will be no more big men in the world."

Liu Xie didn't say anything, even if it was just a few polite words, he didn't want to say more.

After announcing his abdication, he stepped back directly, very simply and decisively, as if he didn't want to be the emperor at all.

Next, Boss Cao announced his succession and changed the name of the country to Wei. He was the first emperor of Wei, and announced amnesty to the world.

Later, he began to reward various ministers, with Xun Yu as the prime minister and Guo Jia as the censor.

Even Tara and Ya Ruo were named generals, of course Chen Yang helped them submit their military merits.

With Chen Yang as the springboard, Cao Cao couldn't do it even if he didn't want to be rewarded, not to mention their contribution, Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, it was indeed amazing.

Everyone in the field cheered and saluted Cao Cao in unison.

After the ceremony, Cao Cao held a banquet here to entertain all the ministers who came to attend, as well as people from major families.

As for where Liu Xie is going, no one cares. He has become an insignificant person, and it doesn't matter if he disappears forever.

As a general, Chen Yang sat next to Cao Cao with Cao Ang, and the others like Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and others were all beside Chen Yang. It can be said that he is the only one who can be so close to Cao Cao without the surname Cao, even if it is Guo Neither Jia nor Xun Yu received this kind of treatment.

Among the many voices, the ceremony of proclaiming the emperor also came to an end.

Chen Yang was just about to go home, but he didn't know that Cao Cao had left them behind. The rest of the ministers saw this scene, and they didn't know how envious and jealous they were.

"Zian, I can do this, thanks to you!"

Cao Cao laughed, his face flushed.

"This is Your Majesty, you are wise and mighty, and it has nothing to do with me."

Chen Yang said politely, this person is no longer Lao Cao, and he should not speak too presumptuously.

Cao Cao was very satisfied with what he said, and when he recalled the time in that tavern, he felt very embarrassed.

If Dian Wei hadn't taken Dian Wei to have a drink before going to Wancheng, the Cao family might not be where it is today.

"Zian, the next big Wei depends entirely on you."

Cao Cao said earnestly, "My world depends on you to calm down."

Mere Jingzhou and Yangzhou are not Boss Cao's ultimate goal.

The pattern should be big!
