Chapter 64 10. Poisoning Cao Cao

In the secret room of Wei Guoshizi's mansion, candlelight flickered, and in the shadows of the buildings, Cao Pi, Mrs. Wang and Sima Yi sat together and talked. Mrs. Wang said: "My son is now accomplished, gratifying and congratulatory. My concubine wishes the son to ascend to the throne early and make great achievements again." Cao Piqian thanked him unceasingly, and said: "This is the result of my wife's secret assistance. Cao Pi will repay it in the future. Tonight Cao Pi asked his wife to move over here because he really has something important to discuss." "What is there to discuss?" Mrs. Wang was startled.But Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Madam congratulated the son just now, it was a little too early. Madam thought that now that Qingfu is dead, Yang Xiu has been punished, and the man of five senses will be promoted to the son, you can sit back and relax Didn’t it? During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Ju was in power for more than ten years. He was humble, benevolent and filial, and blamed for everything. Wasn’t he abolished in the end because of traitors’ slander?”

Mrs. Wang and Cao Pi were shocked when they heard this.Cao Pi said: "Brother Sima's words are too sharp, and I am terrified when I hear them. But I don't know what good advice Sima Jun has for you?" Sima Yi didn't say a word, his face was serious, he stood up, kowtowed to the ground slowly, kowtowed and said: "I do have a strategy in my chest, but I am afraid that if this strategy is implemented, the world will be denounced as treason. I dare not speak nonsense." "Speak!" Cao Pi said seriously, "If you say anything tonight, I will forgive you and listen carefully."

Sima Yi still prostrated himself on the ground without saying a word.He knew that some words, once uttered, would shock the world and anger ghosts and gods, and once spoken out, they would never be taken back.Moreover, the most correct strategy is often a dangerous strategy, and it is also often the most difficult to talk about.Such a strategy, if you offer it to a wise and wise ruler, will be a great success; if you offer it to a mediocre and stupid king, you will bring yourself a disaster of death.Therefore, Sima Yi was hesitating in high tension at this time, and he dared not speak for a long time.At that time, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, with his dignified son of heaven, and a hundred thousand soldiers, was trapped in Baideng Mountain by the Xiongnu army, unable to break out of the encirclement.His military adviser Chen Ping had no choice but to offer a plan and bribed the queen of the Huns Maodun Shanyu with a lot of money, so that he was able to flee back with his head in his arms.Think about it, with Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was a heavenly emperor through the ages, he had to follow other people's "lady's route" in a low voice like some corrupt officials in later generations to save his life.Such a strategy cannot be planned by Chen Ping, and cannot be adopted by Liu Bang.However, such a strategy is so correct, so dangerous, and so unspeakable!With Cao Pi's talents, he can tolerate such a strategy?Can you tolerate such a counselor?Can you tolerate the accusations and ridicule brought to you by adopting such a strategy?

Sima Yi was not sure about this.He still held his breath and knelt on the ground as if he was dead, never saying a word. With a "plop", Cao Pi actually knelt down to Sima Yi, and said tearfully: "Brother Sima, every time you stood up when Cao Pi was most isolated, helpless, and difficult, and made Cao Pi turn around again and again." For victory, you have reached the position you are in today. Cao Pi has long regarded you as the most trustworthy and reliable life-and-death friend in his life. What can we not say between us? Brother Sima, please speak bluntly, Cao Pi will definitely obey his orders! "

Sima Yi was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "Since this is the case, I will risk my life to speak out! For the current plan, if the son wants to have a safe journey, the only way is to ascend to the throne as soon as possible; if the son wants to ascend to the throne quickly, the only way is to Try every means to prevent Wei Guogong from staying in the big position for a long time." "What?" When Cao Pi heard this, he was like thunder, "You, you...your plan is to murder your father..." Mrs. Wang also screamed, and hurriedly covered her mouth in shock.

"The longer Wei Guogong lives, the more danger you will be in." Sima Yi said coldly with a sharp tone and logic like a sharp sword, "If Ding Yi and the others are not dead, and continue to incite Wei Guogong, in case the plot succeeds What? The prince will repeat the same mistakes as Liu Ju, the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Mrs. Wang will not escape the fate of being reduced to Mrs. Qi in the early Han Dynasty and becoming a "human pig"!" Cao Pi and Mrs. Wang looked at each other speechlessly, as if falling into an ice abyss, the whole body and mind became cold.Cao Pi trembled, and said slowly: "Even if, as you said, your father is wise and powerful, we have no soldiers and no rights, how can we hurt him?"

"The best strategy is to win without bloodshed and to win without fighting." Sima Yi smiled sinisterly, took out a mutton jade bottle from his sleeve, flashed it in front of the two of them, and said leisurely, "Did I ever say that I would fight with Cao Cao?" The prime minister meets with swords? This jade bottle contains the rare "pin gold powder", which is colorless and tasteless. My wife only needs to pour a small amount into Prime Minister Cao's food and wine every day. If its toxicity cannot be detected, Prime Minister Cao will naturally take it into his stomach without suspicion. This poison will attack people slowly and unconsciously. It can be done." Saying that, he handed the mutton fat jade bottle to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was trembling, her complexion was as pale as snow, she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. Cao Pi gritted his teeth, sighed deeply, took the mutton fat jade bottle over, put it in Mrs. Wang's palm with his own hands, kowtowed to her, and said: "Everything is thanks to Madam Wang for help!" When Mrs. Wang's hand touched the mutton fat jade bottle, her palm trembled as if it was being burned by a flame.Cao Pi saw all this in his eyes, his face darkened, his gaze was like a sword, and he forced him towards her.Mrs. Wang held the jade bottle tightly, lowered her head slowly, tears dripped down on the skirt of her clothes one by one.After a long, long time, she stood up trembling all over, dazed and absent-minded.After standing still for a while, she slowly regained her composure. Tears flowed silently down her cheeks, and she finally spoke shyly: "The concubine promised what the son asked for today. But I hope the son can keep his promise and treat me well." Son, don't let him do anything wrong!"

Cao Pi knelt on the ground, kowtowed and replied: "Cao Pi will never break his promise to be a younger brother." Mrs. Wang smiled sadly: "You must always remember the appointment in the secret room tonight!" After finishing speaking, he turned around slowly, He wanted to leave the room. Seeing Madam Wang approaching the door of the secret room step by step, Sima Yi suddenly shouted behind her: "Madam wait!" : "Master Sima, what can I advise you?" "By the way, I just forgot to tell Madam in detail how to use this 'Pin Jin San'." Sima Yi stared at her face quietly, and pointed to the mutton fat jade bottle she held in her palm, " Madam can sprinkle a little of this 'Pinjin Powder' on Prime Minister Cao's food and wine every half a month, and keep doing this, and you will see the effect of the medicine in three to five years..." Having said that, His tone suddenly paused, his eyes suddenly lit up, and two cold lights flashed like a falcon, forcing Mrs. Wang not to look at each other, "However, Madam, don't think that your Highness and His Highness are separated by the palace wall." In addition, I can't see whether you have given the prime minister the 'Shanjin powder'...Since His Royal Highness has promised his wife to keep his promise to treat your mother and child kindly in the future, I hope that his wife will also fulfill your promise to the prime minister. Only His Royal Highness's promise will do..."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang swayed a few times, and finally stood still after a long time, staring at Sima Yi blankly, as if seeing the most terrifying person in the world, her face turned pale.Finally, she nodded sadly, turned around and pushed open the door to go out. The slender figure slowly disappeared in the endless darkness outside, and she could no longer see clearly...
