    "Master Marquis, the Prime Minister hasn't come to discuss matters for many days, is it?" Kuai Yue came to Lu Rui's yard again. Ever since Cao Cao got married to Cai, Cao Cao didn't seem to pay much attention to him.  When it came to political affairs, he stayed in Cai's yard all day, ignoring political affairs and leaving all military and political matters to Cao Ang, with Lu Rui and the sons of the Cao family assisting him.  "Don't worry about the alien. I think the Prime Minister has his own arrangements." Lu Rui smiled slightly, Lao Cao liked to be mysterious the most.  There must be something big going on down there, Cai is just a cover.  "What does the Marquis mean?" "Yidu, do you think the Prime Minister wants to put an end to these rumors with just a few words? Why are there so many rumors now that even Xudu knows about the Prime Minister's affair?  "Lu Rui picked up the tea on the table and handed it to Kuai Yue. At first, Lu Rui thought it was Lao Cao's old problem, but the development of the matter made Lu Rui feel that it might not be that simple!  Now even Xudu is spreading rumors about Lao Cao's romantic affairs. Many people say that Lao Cao was obsessed with beauty. He just captured Jingzhou and snatched other people's wives and ignored political affairs.  After Ding Huhu of Xudu heard the rumor, he became furious and smashed everything in Cao Cao's room. He also threatened to come to Jingzhou to catch the vixen.  Everyone in the Cao family tried hard to persuade Ding Huhu, but it was all to no avail. In the end, it was Cao Song, the old man with the longest birthday, who came out to calm Ding Huhu.  If Cao Cao wants to be romantic, there is no need to make the family uneasy, and the government and the public are aware of it.  This is not Lao Cao's style. The only explanation is that Cao Cao wants to hide something.  "Xidu, where is Cai Mao now?" According to Lu Rui's idea, if Cao Cao built the plank road openly to assassinate Chen Cang secretly.  Cai Mao's Jingzhou navy will be Cao Cao's ultimate move.  "Master Marquis, Cai Mao returned to Jiangling Province to marry. I heard that there are some important matters within the clan that need Cai Mao to deal with. Cai Mao has also held a cultural gathering in Jiangling these days to recruit talents from Jingchu and Chu Dynasty." Of course Kuai Yue knew Lu Rui  Kuai Yue also noticed Cai Hao's actions, but Cai Hao didn't want to make any big plans.  "Oh?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. What on earth did Lao Cao pay attention to that Cai Mao was actually on vacation?  Could it be that Cao Cao wanted someone else to take command of the Jingzhou Navy instead of Cai Mao, or did he have other arrangements?  "Alien. Has the Prime Minister asked you anything recently?" Lu Rui went through all the possibilities in his mind. Cao Cao might use Cai Mao as a trick to deceive Sun Quan, and then attack Sun Quan from another aspect.     matter?  Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment. Cao Cao had indeed asked him to ask a lot of things before his wedding with Cai, but they were all about how to appease the Jingzhou generals and the Jingchu barbarians.  There is nothing special about these things, and Kuai Yue has been prepared for it a long time ago, so he responded fluently, and there is nothing unusual about it.  Kuai Yue reported everything he knew to Lu Rui, and Lu Rui took a sip of tea.  I started to sort out my thoughts and thought for a while.  Still have no clue.  "Master Marquis, Master Pi is outside asking for an audience." Just as Lu Rui and Kuai Yue were trying to figure out what Cao Cao was thinking, Shi A came in and reported to Lu Rui that Cao Pi was asking for an audience.  Cao Pi?  Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. Cao Pi also came to him to persuade Cao Cao?  Without thinking much, Lu Rui let Shi A take Cao Pi into his study.  After Cao Pi entered the study, he greeted Kuai Yue and sat opposite Kuai Yue.  "It turns out that Mr. Kuai is here, just in time. Pi doesn't need to go further." "Master?" Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Pi, and then looked at Lu Rui. What did Cao Pi mean?  A trip?  Could it be that he was asked to join in admonishing the Prime Minister?  Thinking of this, Kuai Yue cast a look of help at Lu Rui.  After all, Kuai Yue is a subordinate, so it might not be a good idea to ask Cao Pi directly. It would be better for Lu Rui to come forward.  "Brother Pi, are you here because of the Prime Minister's business?" Lu Rui saw that Cao Pi's expression was not good, so he knew that something must be going on, so he went straight to the point.  "Brother Rui, I'm here for my father's business. It's just that I'm not here to beg Brother Rui, but to carry out my father's orders with Brother Rui!" Cao Pi sighed softly and weakly said the reason for his trip.  Purpose.  "Execute your father's order?" Lu Rui finally understood. To carry out his father's order, it seems that Cao Cao really has a plan for himself, Cao Pi and Kuai Yue to execute it.  "Yes, Brother Rui, Wen Lie has returned to Xiangyang City from Xudu with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry." Cao Pi said for a while, but hesitated, as if something made him uneasy.  "So what?" Cao Xiu, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhen are the people Cao Cao hopes will lead the army. There seems to be no problem with Cao Xiu temporarily commanding the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.  "Huamei is here too!" Cao Pi spat out a sentence weakly.  Huamei is here, which means Cao Hua, Cao Cao's daughter, is also here.  "My father decided to marry Wumanxi and marry Huamei to the son of the old Man King."?He borrowed barbarian troops to attack Chaisang Sun Quan.  "Cao Pi shook his head helplessly and told Lu Rui. He couldn't understand why his father wanted to use Wuman River to deal with Sun Quan. Cao Pi's army of hundreds of thousands could not deal with Chai Sang's army of 100,000.  ? Marriage? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this was what Cao Pi had planned! After listening to Cao Pi's words, Lu Rui understood that Cao Cao wanted to use Wumanxi's army to attack Sun Quan from the flank and catch him unawares.  It is not difficult to explain Cao Pi's loss by defeating Chaisang and allowing Cao Hua to marry.  Being ruthless is just because of the emperor's status, and sometimes he has no choice. Compared with Li Shimin, Cao Pi just ignored his younger brother and did not kill his relatives. "Zihuan, are you because of Zhongfu's decision?  Dissatisfied?  Think we shouldn't cooperate with barbarians?  "Lu Rui glanced at Cao Pi. Lu Rui wanted to know what Cao Pi really thought. This was a factor that would affect Cao Wei's future situation. Cao Pi was not an emperor, but a prince with real power. "Brother Rui, I'm not discriminating against barbarians. I think  The barbarians are not my race, and their minds must be different. In fact, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if Qin unified the six kingdoms and regarded Qin as the orthodoxy, which of the six kingdoms would not be a barbarian?  It's just that my brother thinks that his father is doing this.  Like the siege of Baideng.  It has lost the prestige of my Cao family!  "Cao Pi vented his dissatisfaction. Facing Cao Cao, Cao Pi did not dare to be so presumptuous. "It turned out to be for the sake of Cao's face? It seems that Cao Pi, like Cao Cao, only values ??reality and not reputation, and does not value the reputation of a family. For a poor family,  There is no discrimination against foreigners, so Lu Rui is relieved. A few barbarians may play a big role in the future of the Wei Dynasty. "Zihuan, since Zhongfu has decided this matter.  It¡¯s hard for us to say anything. Huamei is your biological sister, and she is also my sister. I decided to double the things that Huamei will get married, and the extra part will be paid by the Marquis¡¯s house. This will be considered worthy of our brother and sister.  In love.  "Lu Rui had no choice but to increase Cao Hua's dowry gifts, because in the Han Dynasty, things like these given to a daughter-in-law determined a woman's status in her husband's family. "Hey, thank you, Brother Rui.  .  My brother also knows that this matter cannot be stopped.  We were just complaining, and by the way, my father asked us to wait in the southern suburbs after lunch.  Homi's motorcade is in the southern suburbs.  "Cao Pi sighed and told Lu Rui that he would leave for Wuman River in the afternoon. "I understand, Yidu, Zihuan, let's go have a meal first, then pack some simple clothes and then we can set off.  " Lu Rui was also unambiguous when he heard Cao Cao's order. Since Cao Hua has been brought to marry him, Lu Rui cannot waste this opportunity. He must use Wuman River to give Sun Quan a heavy blow! After lunch, Lu Rui  Rui took Cao Pi, Kuai Yue and his personal guards to the southern suburbs of Xiangyang City. ¡°Brother Rui, where are my father and sister?  "Cao Pi pointed not far away with his finger, and saw Cao Cao and Cao Hua seeming to be talking about their separation. Cao Hua wiped his tears with a handkerchief from time to time. "See you, Prime Minister!  "Lu Rui brought Cao Pi and Kuai Yue up to see him. "Is Bufan here?  "Cao Cao blew his nose and turned his head to Lu Rui and the others. Cao Cao's reluctance could be seen from the red circles in Cao Cao's eyes. "Yes, sir!  "Well, Zihuan, you and Yidu will go ahead with Cang Shu and Hua'er. Bufan will stay. The truth is that we have something to discuss with Bufan."  "When Cao Cao saw Lu Rui and the others, he regained his majesty as prime minister and gave orders directly to Cao Pi. "Yes, sir!  "Cao Pi did not dare to express any dissatisfaction in front of Cao Cao. He bowed his hand and led the team south. "Bufan, do you know why I sent Hua'er to Wumanxi for marriage?  "Cao Cao looked at the carriage in the distance, turned his head slowly, and his tone became helpless. "Is Father Zhong trying to deal with Sun Quan?  Take the enemy by surprise!  " "This is just one of the reasons. There is a bigger reason. No one can understand me except my father.  "Cao Cao shook his head, with some sadness flashing in his eyes. "Wen Lie was injured when he picked up Hua'er. You asked the accompanying military doctor to pay more attention. You are really ashamed of Wen Lie.  " Is Cao Xiu injured? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, with worry in his eyes. Cao Xiu is a military general and can be considered experienced in many battles, but he was injured on the way to pick up Cao Hua. It seems to be the fault of everyone in the Cao family.  Cao Xiu was injured because Cao Xiu did not dare to stop the scolding and beatings of the Cao family. This is terrible, and it shows that Cao Cao's decision has encountered so much opposition from the Cao family for the first time.  It's hard to understand why Cao Cao still resorted to marriage when he had an absolute advantage. This was simply ruining his daughter's happiness. "Please."Father made it clear that Rui'er couldn't guess Father Zhong's plan.  "Lu Rui raised his hand and asked Cao Cao for advice. To deal with Sun Quan, with Cao Cao's current advantage, as long as he fights steadily, Sun Quan will be defeated in less than three years. But why did Cao Cao use the marriage strategy at this time? I'm afraid there is some compulsion behind it.  "Bufan, the situation in the Han Dynasty is unpredictable, and the situation in my Cao family is also unpredictable. Originally, I wanted to use my own power to eliminate the troubles of the family and restore peace to the world. Unfortunately, it backfired. As a family, how can I  It is possible to eradicate all the aristocratic families, but the aristocratic families are a scourge to the world.  Bufan, do you think the truth is about dealing with the family, what should we do next?  " Disaster for aristocratic families? Lu Rui has considered this issue many times. The most effective way for future generations to deal with wealthy families is to hold imperial examinations. However, how can today's big men hold imperial examinations? Most of the people who study are from aristocratic families.  Even if there are one or two poor families, they are still small landlords. It is impossible for the peasant class to study in this era. If they can't save their lives, why study?  , Lu Rui can't do it in this life. The monopoly bureaucracy of the aristocratic family is the downfall of any regime. Now Cao Cao has gone to the extreme to suppress the aristocratic family with strong military control. If Cao Cao wants to take a closer step to attack the aristocratic family, he can only replace the Han with Cao Cao!  Being promoted to emperor and gaining the highest power, even if the founder of the country has no kindness, he still has the domineering power to kill. "Replace Han with Cao!"  "Hahahahaha, yes, Cao will replace Han!"  However, to replace Han Dynasty with Cao Cao, he must get the support of the family. Even if he doesn't need it, his successors still need it. Father Zhong will not be the founding king. The killing of the founder is not needed. Now Zhongfu has to be the guardian of the Cao family.  Lord of the City do something.  "Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, seeming to be intoxicated with his own plans. Planning for his grandchildren, I'm afraid no emperor since ancient times has such foresight! "Planning for the king who defends the city?" After listening to Cao Cao's words, Lu Rui completely understood Cao Cao  That's what it means. Cao Cao wants to conquer the world, and the murderous spirit of the founding emperor can suppress the family, so it is better to leave this murderous spirit to his sons. The marriage alliance that Cao Cao is doing now is for the Cao family.  The third generation, the efforts made by the city defender "Zhongfu is far-sighted and Rui is not as good as Rui. However, Zhongfu's intention of this move cannot be guessed by Rui.  " "Bufan, the situation of the aristocratic family is now difficult to change. Since the aristocratic family is immutable, I can only strengthen the power of my Cao family, so that people from poor families, aristocratic families loyal to my Cao family, and even foreign races can be used by my Cao family!  If I can't destroy aristocratic families, I have to create them." Cao Cao smiled slightly and told his plan. "Father Zhong is wise, Rui admires him!  "After Lu Rui heard Cao Cao's words, he suddenly realized that Cao Cao had found another way to deal with the aristocratic family using countermeasures. If the aristocratic family cannot be eliminated in a short time, let the Cao family maintain the strength of the first aristocratic family! Cao Cao's strategy is very simple, that is  Granting status, it is difficult for children from non-aristocratic families to enter the officialdom, but it is different with status, especially the relationship between son-in-law and father-in-law. If the Cao family becomes emperor in the future, then Cao Hua will be the princess.  Now, the leader of Wumanxi is naturally the prince-son-in-law of the Wei Dynasty. It is reasonable for the prince-son-in-law to enter the court as an official. Since poor families and foreigners do not have the foundation of aristocratic families, they must rely on the Cao family. In this way, the power of the Cao family will increase.  Cao Cao has mastered the power of strategy. Even Lu Rui, who has traveled through time, has not yet learned this strategy. "Bu Fan, having said this, you should know the intention of Zhongfu in sending you to Wuman River.  This trip was not only to marry Wumanxi, but also to lead Wumanxi's army to raid Sun Quan from Changsha County, hoping that Bufan would not disappoint Zhong's father.  " "Rui understands that thanks to Father Zhong's love, Rui will definitely defeat Chaisang and pacify the south for Father Zhong!  " "Okay, it's getting late. You should set off early.  " "Yes, Father Zhong!  "Lu Rui bowed his hand and left Cao Cao with him, catching up with the team alone. "Hua'er?  I hope you don¡¯t blame father. For the sake of Cao family, I have to do this!  "Cao Cao looked at the south and shook his head. This is the emperor's helplessness and the tragedy of the emperor's family.
