Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial owner behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

In the winter of that year, Cao Cao went down to Jingzhou, Pingjiangdong, and the southern half of Jiangsu were all owned by the Great Wei.

Sun Quan was overwhelmed, and the Jiangdong counties were handed down.

After Cao Cao stayed in Jianye for half a month, he led his army to return north.

After returning to Yecheng, Cao Cao made meritorious soldiers.

As the first meritorious minister, Cao Yuan was promoted to the rank of general of the Che Horse and made Marquis of Wuping.

As soon as the reward came out, the world boiled.

……

Wei Palace, inner courtyard.

Bian’s face was gloomy, and resentment flowed between his eyebrows.

The two brothers, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, also frowned and were full of sadness.

Today, it was the day that Cao Yuan was knighted, and the heavy ministers of Yecheng with more than 2,000 stones all went to Houfu to congratulate him.

As the king of Wei, Cao Cao came to show his favor to Cao Yuan.

“Empress Mother, my father actually named Na Cao Yuan the Marquis of Wuping, which is not a good sign.”

Cao Pi couldn’t help but break the window paper.

Marquis of Wuping, a title held by Cao Cao before he became King of Wei, has a significant symbolic significance.

Cao Cao actually gave this marquis of Wuping to Cao Yuan, a foreign minister, which was equivalent to sending a clear signal to the people of the world:

He intends to pass the throne to Cao Yuan!

Bian snorted coldly, but asked, “Cao Yuan’s greedy human evidence and material evidence, are you all ready?” ”

Cao Pi hurriedly said: “After returning to my mother, the human evidence and material evidence are complete, so I will wait for the Queen Mother’s order.” ”

“Then tomorrow night.”

Bian sneered: “Your father will set up a family banquet in the palace tomorrow night, invite the Xiahou clan of the Cao family, and foreign relatives to come to the banquet, and we will take out these iron evidences at this family banquet and bring down that Cao Yuan in one fell swoop!” ”

Cao Pi’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but get excited.

“Why did the queen mother choose to make a challenge at the family banquet, why not at the court meeting, in front of the Manchu Dynasty?”

Cao Zhi questioned the timing of the Bian clan.

“Zhi’er, think about it, your father has blatantly hinted to the people of the world that he wants to pass on the throne to Cao Yuan, a foreign minister.”

“Do you think that our Cao Clan and Xiahou Clan will be indifferent?”

Bian Shi smiled and asked meaningfully.

Cao Zhi suddenly realized.

Cao Yuan, after all, is an outsider.

If Cao Cao was old and confused, passing the throne to Cao Yuan not only moved the interests of the two brothers, but also the interests of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

Even if they respected and believed Cao Yuan, they would never tolerate it, and the Cao family’s inheritance fell into the hands of Cao Yuan, an outsider.

Above the family banquet, once they attacked Cao Yuan, the Xiahou clan relatives of the Cao clan would definitely respond and put pressure on Cao Cao and force Cao Cao to use a knife against Cao Yuan.

Even if Cao Cao favored Cao Yuan, he would not dare to ignore the attitude of the two clans.

“Queen Mother is wise, tomorrow’s family banquet is indeed an excellent opportunity to bring down Cao Yuan!”

Cao Zhi complimented.

Between Bian’s eyebrows, a sneer appeared that was determined to win.

……

The next day, the lanterns were high.

Xia Hou Wei, Xia Hou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun…

The clansmen of the two clans who were in Yecheng entered the palace one after another.

Cao Yuan, as the son-in-law of the Xiahou family, also brought his wife Xiahou Juan to the palace.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Cao Yuan immediately became the focus of everyone.

“Juan’er, without your husband’s resourcefulness, your uncle would have been able to pacify Jiangnan so easily!”

“You can marry such a virtuous son-in-law, I am really very happy for my uncle.”

Xia Houyuan said with admiration.

Cao Yuan smiled.

Xiahou Juan was overjoyed in his heart, and held Cao Yuan’s hand tighter, and it was difficult to hide the pride on his face.

The two brothers, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, looked at the clansmen of the two clans, and their enthusiasm for Cao Yuan was not a taste in their hearts, and their eyes flashed with jealousy.

“Cao Yuan, let you be proud for a moment, and when I get into trouble, I’ll let you taste what it means to let the wall fall and everyone pushes it…”

Cao Pi snorted secretly and coldly.

“The king arrives, the queen drives ~~”

The eunuch shouted loudly.

The sect members immediately stopped talking and laughing, and they all stood up to greet them.

Cao Cao took the Bian clan and walked into the main hall one after the other, sitting high on the throne.

The crowd bowed to worship.

“Let’s all be flat.”

Cao Cao smiled and flicked his hand: “Tonight is not a court, but a family banquet, so your family doesn’t need so many gifts, feel free.” ”

The atmosphere in the hall is relaxed again.

Cao Cao glanced at the hall, but his gaze fell on Cao Yuan’s body.

If it weren’t for the pacification of Jingzhou Jiangdong, he would have announced Cao Yuan’s life as early as a year ago.

By now, the south has been pacified, and it is time for the people of the world to know Cao Yuan’s true identity.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: “Today’s family banquet, King Ben summoned you to invite you, firstly, to recount family affection, and secondly, to announce to you——”

The words did not fall.

Bian hurriedly gave his two sons a look.

Cao Pi thought, jumped up, and said loudly: “Father, the son has one thing, I want to explain to the father!” ”

Interrupted, Cao Cao’s face was displeased, so he said: “If you have something, it’s not too late for the court, tonight’s family banquet, don’t talk about business.” ”

“Father!”

Cao Pi said positively: “This matter that the sons and daughters want to play is related to the survival of my Cao family’s Jiangshan society, and the children must immediately explain it to the father and king!” ”

He used such serious words that Cao Cao couldn’t help but look slightly moved.

Cao Ren and the other sect members were also curious.

“Great King, since it is related to the Cao family’s inheritance, you might as well listen to Pi’er and talk about it.”

Bian also blew the wind from the side.

Cao Cao had to patiently say, “Then tell me, what are you going to do?” ”

Cao Pi turned around and shouted outside the hall, “Come, give all the human evidence and material evidence.” ”

After a while, the henchmen and servants carried the thick stacks of account books to the front of the temple.

A witness dressed in official uniform also went to the temple with an uneasy expression.

When the clansmen saw this situation, they were all at a loss.

“What do you mean by that?”

Cao Caohu said suspiciously.

Cao Pi threw up his hands and said, “Back to my father, these are all the human evidence and material evidence that Cao Yuan embezzled official wealth!” ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar when the temple was neutral.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Cao Yuan.

Cao Cao frowned, and immediately understood that this son of his, this was going to attack Cao Yuan.

Xia Hou Juan also looked uneasy, and was busy looking at her husband.

Cao Yuan just smiled coldly, still calm and indifferent, leisurely sipping tea.

“Father, Cao Yuan has taken advantage of his position and trust in him over the years, and embezzled countless money, grain and military resources, totaling billions of dollars!”

“Although he is credited to the Great Wei, he is the first greedy official in ancient and modern times.”

“Father and king ruling the country have always been clear in reward and punishment, how can they tolerate Cao Yuan!”

“The son-in-law asked his father to punish Cao Yuan severely according to the law!”

Cao Pi was indignant and counted Cao Yuan’s “crimes” and impassioned advice.

Cao Zhi also stood up and chimed in, “Second brother is right, if my father can’t deal with that Cao Yuan according to law, it will not be enough to deter the greedy officials in the world, and it will definitely lose the hearts of the people and shake the foundation of my Great Wei!” ”

Inside the main hall, there was silence.

Bian’s eyes swept over with imperceptible smugness, and his gaze glanced at the sect chambers, waiting for them to respond, and fell on Cao Yuan.

Cao Ren and the other sect members, at this moment, did have the mind to bring down Cao Yuan.

It was not because they were jealous of Cao Yuan’s merits, nor because Cao Cao was particularly kind to him.

But because they were also worried in their hearts, Cao Cao was too fond of Cao Yuan, and really wanted to pass on the Cao family to Cao Yuan.

This is their bottom line, and they can’t cross the line anyway.

Only Xiahou Wei, who knew the inside story, shook his head and sighed, looking at the two Cao Pi brothers with disappointed eyes.

Cao Cao’s face was livid, his eyes were burning with anger, and he jumped up and rushed to the two Cao Pi brothers in a few steps.

“Bang bang!”

Two kicks out.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were kicked to the ground screaming.

The two brothers lay on the ground and looked at Cao Cao in disbelief.

Bian Shi’s face was also shocked, and he didn’t expect that Cao Cao would make such a move.

“You two are stupid and have done so many things, aren’t you afraid that King Ben will pass on the Cao family’s inheritance to Ziyou!”

“Ben Wang Ming told you that Ben Wang Ming will make his son a son today to become the son of the world!”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

The two brothers Cao Pi were stunned.

Bian was even more frightened.

Their mother and son never expected that Cao Cao not only turned a blind eye to Cao Yuan’s greed, but even openly declared that he wanted to make Cao Yuan the son of the world in front of all the clansmen at this banquet!

Even Cao Yuan himself was taken aback, and the wine glass in his hand almost fell.

All the sect chambers, except for Xia Hou Wei, were shocked.

Cao Ren jumped up and said squarely: “Great King, with all due respect, Cao Ziyou is indeed meritorious to Great Wei, and you can’t overreward him for the Great King, but he is a foreign surname after all, how can you make him the son of the world, Great King?” ”

Cao Hong and the other sect members nodded one after another, all agreeing.

Finally, when the sect members attacked, the Bian mother and son secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of smug flashed in their eyes.

His mother and son waited to see how Cao Cao ended.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

“Cao Yuan is the biological son of King Ben, why can’t King Ben make him the son of the world!”
