Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 136 Restraining the Rear (4)
"Consolation my son?" Cao Pi said to himself, his brows were slightly frowned, and he walked a few steps on the spot.He is no stranger to Zhao Yan, both of them are classmates in Yuxian Hall in Xun Yu's mansion.Because Zhao Yan has such a relationship with him, and because he is a close servant of His Majesty today, Cao Pi once tried to win him over to become the "eyes and ears" of his Cao family in the inner court.But after he secretly "pointed" to Zhao Yan a few times, Zhao Yan was not salty or bland.Today he actually came to "comfort" himself with an imperial decree. I'm afraid he didn't communicate secretly in "official affairs"?

Seeing Cao Pi's hesitant look, Zhu Shuo tentatively asked, "Why don't Zhu go out and push him away? Just say you are not here now, my lord..."

"No need." Cao Pi stood still and waved his hand, "Let him in."

Footsteps outside the pavilion approached from far away, Zhao Yan stood at the two magnetic doors, and straightened his clothes.Cao Pi squinted from inside, Zhao Yan's whole body was intact, everything was as usual, it seems that he didn't carry any murderous iron weapon.

"Young Master Cao, I have an important order from Your Majesty today, and I want to tell you personally." Zhao Yan entered the pavilion door, bowed deeply and gave a salute, and looked up at Cao Pi's personal guard with a sword and sword, "Please don't care Personnel avoided."

With a wave of Zhu Shuo's right hand, all the guards of the Cao Mansion retreated.

Zhao Yan raised his eyes suddenly, and stared at Zhu Shuo: "This... Please avoid Zhu Jun for a while."

Zhu Shuo's face darkened, and he didn't say anything, but just cast his eyes on Cao Pi.

Cao Pi thought to himself: This Zhao Yan is just a frail scholar, he is now unarmed, and he has always been proficient in martial arts, forgive him for attacking and stabbing, he may not have the courage and strength!So he waved his hand.Zhu Shuo had no choice but to leave angrily.

Seeing that Cao Pi was sitting far away from him at the back of the table, Zhao Yan seemed to be on guard, so he said, "Mr. Cao, it's like this. It's a good thing that Zhao has made many twists and turns in front of His Majesty these few days. Your Majesty must be open-minded and magnanimous, thinking about Mr. Cao, you have worked hard on state affairs recently, and you have made great achievements, and you are going to draw up an imperial edict to reward you with the title of a township..."

As he said that, he took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and held it in his palm, with a smile on his brows: "The manuscript of this imperial edict has already been drawn up, and it is just for your title of Marquis of the Township." The name is empty. Your Majesty said, you can choose and fill in the titles of Changle Township, Gaogui Township, Dingding Township, etc...."

"Really?" When Cao Pi heard the words, his face immediately burst into joy. He jumped up from his seat happily, ran to Zhao Yan and asked, "Your Majesty really wants to issue an edict to reward me?" A township title? Hehehe... Zhao Jun, don't lie to me."

In desperation, the tip of his nose almost touched Zhao Yan's forehead.

"How dare Zhao deceive you, Mr. Cao? Are you satisfied with what Zhao has done for you?" Zhao Yan raised his face and looked at him, the smile on his face bloomed like a flower Come.

"Very good! Very good! Pi must pass on the rewards to your father!" Cao Pi also said with a smile.

While slowly unfolding the yellow silk scroll of the edict, Zhao Yan asked him with a smile: "Then, please tell me which township Marquis title Yan should fill in this blank space?"

"It's the Marquis of Dingding Township! I heard that there are quite a few fiefdoms in that township..." Cao Pi searched in his mind while muttering. The sharp object pierced him, and a strong force shook him back slightly.

He hurriedly lowered his head to look - and saw that Zhao Yan pulled out a piece of bamboo slips with the top sharpened from the end of the imperial edict scroll, and stabbed himself in the heart.

"See you in the picture"!This is "picture poor dagger see" ah!Cao Pi's eyes widened like brass bells in disbelief: "You... how dare you assassinate me?"

"Thank you, Master Sima, for the 'Golden Silk Nephrite Armor' that you gave me. It is really tough and invulnerable!" In the side bedroom in the backyard of the Cao Mansion, Cao Pi said gratefully to Sima Lang while sitting on the couch, " That Zhao Yan is really cunning! In order to escape the search and attraction of the "Fengyi Pavilion" magnet gate, he abandoned the steel knife and iron sword, and sharpened the bamboo slips to assassinate me—thanks to this "golden soft jade armor" It was blocked by Pi, so it didn't go in..."

"Eldest son, you don't need to be so courteous." Sima Lang hurriedly replied with extreme humility, "Everything is due to your own great blessing, eldest son, that's why you can be blessed in death! This is just a 'golden silk nephrite armor', You are so grateful to Lang!"

"Master Sima, Pi invites you here tonight because we have something important to discuss." After some polite conversation with Sima Lang, Cao Pi turned to the main topic, with a solemn face, fixed eyebrows, and looked straight at Sima Lang said, "This afternoon, Pi's Uncle Cao Hong has been yelling to take advantage of Zhao Yan's assassination to 'dig deep and catch more' in one breath, and catch all those who try to harm my Cao family." .However, Pi thought that such an approach like him would not be appropriate after all, so he temporarily took Zhao Yan and sent him to the "inner prison" of the prime minister's mansion and locked him up secretly. But how should the next step of the strategy be carried out? Pi At this time, I didn't think about it, so I asked Master Sima to give me advice."

Sima Lang had already figured out the ins and outs of this incident through his "eyeliner", and he even knew more about the situation behind the scenes than Cao Hong and Cao Pi.But at this moment, he could only pretend to have just learned about it, and seemed to have listened carefully to every word he said, pondered for a moment, and slowly opened his mouth to ask: "Then, can the eldest son and General Cao Hong learn from Zhao Yan today?" Did something come out of your mouth?"

Cao Pi turned pale, and shook his head: "This Zhao Yan usually looks weak, but unexpectedly his mouth is very hard. Uncle Cao Hong smashed all his teeth, and even his two One leg was broken, and he just stood there without saying a word!"

Sima Lang sighed deeply: "This...Lang Zao should have already guessed it. Someone like Zhao Yan who dared to stab you with a 'bamboo sword' must have long since put personal safety and death aside. It seems that if General Cao Hong wants to "dig deep and catch more" from his mouth, even if he is killed, he may not be able to "dig" anything out."

"Although I can't 'dig' it out of his mouth, now Pi doesn't need to 'dig' it anymore. In fact, I can guess who the behind-the-scenes masters are behind him!" Cao Pi frowned, and his eyes suddenly became serious. Cold as a sword.
