"Why did the general agree so easily with Wang Ziyong's proposal? This is probably Sima Zhongda's plan!"

When Cao Shuang heard this, he was immediately surprised:

"Why did Uncle Ping say this? It is the right thing for me, the emperor, to do the crowning ceremony and establish a queen. How did it become Sima Zhongda's plan?"

He Yan stamped his feet, with an anxious look on his face, and explained urgently:

"General, Yan Fei is saying that we should not establish a queen, but we should not establish Zhen as a queen!"

Probably because he came here in a hurry, He Yan took a breath and then continued:

"Could it be that the general has forgotten where the Zhen family's original clan is?"

After being reminded by He Yan, General Cao slapped his forehead and shouted:

"Oops! I forgot this section!"

The Zhen family was originally a large family in Hebei, and after Cao Rui's vigorous promotion, all the uncles, nephews and family were granted the title of marquis, and now they are one of the top famous families in Wei.

During the Battle of Guanzhong, Cao Rui made a hasty patrol eastward. Naturally, many members of the Zhen clan, as relatives of the emperor, also followed him to Xuchang.

But don't forget, the Zhen family's sect is in Zhongshan County, Hebei.

Mrs. Zhen was even buried in Yecheng, and many people from the Zhen family guarded her tomb there.

That's all.

However, Cao Shuang's actions over the years have often been arrogant.

Not to mention anything else, just moving the empress dowager to another palace and preventing her from seeing the young emperor was enough to make the general stand on the opposite side of the royal family.

Not to mention, Hebei is now in the hands of Taifu Sima.

If you really want to make Zhen the queen, it will not only strengthen the power to support the emperor, but at the same time, it will be exploited by Sima Taifu.

The more General Cao thought about it, the more he regretted it. He couldn't help stamping his feet bitterly and gritted his teeth and said:

"Old man Wang, your mind is so vicious! How dare you bully me like this?"

He Yan nodded and affirmed:

"What the general said is true! I think Prince Yong and Sima Zhongda are related by marriage. Today's discussion must be closely related to Sima Zhongda."

"These two people, one inside and one outside, are connected to each other and want to put the general at a disadvantage."

General Cao's face turned ugly:

"Prince Yong is a minister and has a good reputation in the court. If there is no fault, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch him."

"And the urgent matter now is to establish the future..."

I thought about it again and again, but I didn't know how to solve this problem.

After all, he personally agreed to the matter of establishing a queen in the court.

You can't go back on your word in public and say you won't do it, right?

Besides, what would it be like if the emperor were not allowed to establish a queen?

The weather in early spring is still a bit chilly, but Cao Shuang is fat and prone to sweating. When he gets anxious at this time, he will immediately sweat on his forehead.

He looked at He Yan with hopeful eyes:

"Uncle Ping, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

He Yan said decisively:

"General, according to Yi Yan, first of all, this Zhen family cannot be established as the queen."

When General Cao heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and said hesitantly:

"But, Uncle Ping, this Zhen family is the crown prince and concubine appointed by the late emperor. If we don't make her the queen, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the world from talking about you."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid the ministers in the DPRK will also say that I don't follow the etiquette and laws..."

He Yan's eyes flickered, gesturing to the left and right with his eyes.

Cao Shuang understood and dismissed everyone, then looked at He Yan:

"Why did Uncle Ping teach me?"

He Yan then approached General Cao and said softly:

"Why worry about the general? In the past, Emperor Wen killed Empress Wen Zhao in order to establish the Guo Concubine; the first emperor abolished the main concubine in order to establish the Mao family, and later he killed the Mao family and established the Yu family."

In fact, there was Emperor Wu, but he was He Yan's adoptive father anyway, and he didn't dare to tell him.

"Such repetitions can be said to be based on etiquette? It can be seen that Cao's treatment of concubines in the harem mostly does not follow etiquette."

As Cao Cao's adopted son, He Yan was deeply loved by Cao Cao and treated him like other princes.

It's a pity that Cao Pi hated him so much that he didn't even want to call him by his name.

So during Cao Pi's time, he didn't even have an official position.

Fortunately, Cao Pi was a short-lived ghost, and it would be over after a while.

Unexpectedly, when his son Cao Rui ascended the throne, he also disliked him, thinking that he was a flashy person, and deliberately suppressed him and only allowed him to hold some redundant official positions.

As a famous scholar of metaphysics in the Wei Dynasty alongside Xia Houxuan, He Yan was originally eager to get rich and follow the trend. How could he not be full of resentment towards Cao Pi and Cao Rui when he was treated like this?

At this time, he used the past events between the two to persuade General Cao. In addition to not wanting to establish Zhen as his queen, he might not have the intention of promoting the evil of the two to vent his anger:

When Emperor Xiangwu was still alive, my dress was similar to that of the prince, and nothing was said about it.

You, father and son, used your personal grudges to suppress me. You never imagined that I would still be here today, right?

He Yan had grown up with Cao Pi since he was a child, and the relationship between the two was not good. Compared with others, he naturally had less respect for Cao Pi and Cao Rui.

"Hmm..."

General Cao did not speak and seemed to be still hesitating, but it could be seen that there was already a look of excitement on his face.

Seeing this, He Yan quickly struck while the iron was hot:

"If the general feels it is inconvenient to directly come forward and regret the matter, there is actually someone who can stand up for the general."

When Cao Shuang heard this, he quickly asked: "Who is it?"

He Yan pointed in a certain direction and said softly: "I am the Queen Mother."

Cao Shuang was shocked:

"The Queen Mother is very prejudiced against me, how can she be willing to issue an edict for me?"

He paused and then asked He Yan tentatively:

"Uncle Ping wants me to act in the name of the Queen Mother?"

In this case, it's okay.

It's just that the ministers in the court are not all fools, and they can naturally see that they are perverting the Queen Mother's edict.

When the time comes, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will accuse themselves of being dictatorial and disrupting the government.

well……

Although the power is now consolidated, all the forces are under control, the soldiers are forbidden, and Xuchang is all under his control.

But there are always some stubborn people in the court. I have no excuses and I don't know what to do to them. It's really a headache.

Unexpectedly, He Yan smiled calmly:

"General, there is no need to worry. I have a plan that will allow the Queen Mother to give the general this edict in person, regardless of her past grudges."

Cao Shuang was suddenly surprised and happy:
Chapter completed!
