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

What's going on?

Is Cao Zhi exposing a whistleblower and betraying Bian and Cao Pi?

Cao Cao and Cao Yuan looked at each other with a bit of surprise in their eyes.

Cao Zhi's revelation also confirmed Cao Yuan's speculation and convinced Cao Cao that Bian's mother and son had betrayed him.

After calming down for a moment, Cao Cao waved his hands and said,"Tell me, how do your mother and the others plan to rebel?"

"The queen mother had secretly colluded with Ma Teng and asked Ma Teng to send troops to attack Yecheng to help them rebel and seize the throne at the cost of ceding Bingzhou and Jingzhou."

"In addition, the queen mother also used the idea of ​​supporting the Liu family as emperor and reestablishing the Han Dynasty as bait, and persuaded Xun Yu to incite the clans who were dissatisfied with their father to rebel. Thinking that she was an internal support, the Qin army who released Ma Teng came to Yecheng smoothly."

"Now that the Qin army is on the road, Xun Yu and the others have also secretly gathered private soldiers, ready to attack at any time."

"The son implores his father to take quick measures."

Cao Zhi bowed again and revealed the entire mutiny plan.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan in amazement.

The mutiny plan Cao Zhi said was exactly the same as what Cao Yuan had predicted.

In other words, even without Cao Yuan , The Bian family's plot is also under Cao Yuan's control.

"Yuan'er's knowledge of things is as good as a god. Sure enough, he has never made a miscalculation.……"

Cao Cao secretly sighed.

Cao Zhi, who was kneeling in front of the hall, was a little confused.

According to his expectation, Cao Cao would be furious if he exposed Bian's rebellion.

No matter what happens, Cao Cao will definitely be shocked.

But Cao Cao's performance was surprisingly dull, as if he was not moved at all.

"Father, Queen, they are going to mutiny. What the son said is absolutely true. Father must believe it.~~"

Cao Zhi shouted excitedly.

Cao Cao said coldly:"I don't need you to remind me. I already knew that your mother wanted to rebel and seize the throne."

Cao Zhi was stunned, his eyes were surprised and confused, and he could not understand the meaning of Cao Cao's words.

Without his informant, how would his father know that Cao Pi, the Bian family, was going to rebel?

"Your brother, he had already expected that you would be dissatisfied, and secretly sent someone to closely monitor your every move."

"Bian sent Wu Zhi to meet Ma Teng, and he went out incognito to visit Xun Yu and persuaded Xun Yu to help him. Everything you do is under your brother's control."

"Do you think that without you coming to report today, your mother would have succeeded in her rebellion?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan and revealed the truth.

Cao Zhi changed his face in shock, and looked at Cao Yuan deeply with an almost terrifying look.

"It turned out that everything the queen mother and second brother did was already under his control"

"Could it be that he is really the reincarnation of a god and knows everything?"

"The queen mother and the others wanted to compete with him for the throne, but they really overestimated their capabilities. Fortunately, I did not follow him, otherwise I would definitely die.……"

Cao Zhi broke into a cold sweat. Apart from fear, he completely surrendered to Cao Yuan in his heart.

"Zijian, I really want to know why you exposed your mother and your brother?"

Cao Cao's tone softened a lot and he asked curiously.

Cao Zhi calmed down and let out a helpless sigh.

"Now that things have happened, I have nothing to hide."

"There is indeed resentment in the son's heart towards brother Ziyou, and he also covets the position of the heir apparent."

"But the mother-in-law's rebellion was intended to attract foreign enemies to the capital. Although it was only to force the father to abdicate, the sons and ministers were afraid that the situation would get out of control and the father's life would be in danger."

"After much thought, the son still couldn't bear that his father was in danger, so he had no choice but to come and surrender to his father."

Cao Zhi explained the reason.

Cao Cao suddenly realized it and couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.

After all, Cao Zhi is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as Cao Pi. At the critical moment, he could still care about the relationship between father and son and chose to confess to him.

"Zijian, get up."

Cao Cao personally stepped forward and helped Cao Zhi up.

He patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder and wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao waved his hands and said,"Dian Wei, send someone to send Zijian back home first. , protect him well."

Cao Zhi's eyes were shaken, and he called out"Father" uneasily.

Although he didn't say it clearly, he wanted to know what Cao Cao planned to do with him.

"Yuan'er, what do you think this king should do with your brother?"

Cao Cao looked back at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan said calmly:"Zijian can turn around in time, which can be regarded as a meritorious service, and he can be exempted from the death penalty. I think that he should be dealt with according to what his father said before."

The implication of his words was to deprive Cao Zhi of his power and position, and to keep him in captivity, so that he would be rich and wealthy for the rest of his life. Cao Yuan's answer was what Cao Cao had in mind. Naturally, he was very satisfied, and he couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Just what Yi Yuan'er said"

"Zhi'er, just rest in peace, enjoy the glory and wealth, and spend the rest of your life peacefully."

Cao Cao gave Cao Zhi a reassurance.

Cao Zhi suddenly understood and couldn't help feeling relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

"My dear father, thank you so much, brother!"

Cao Zhi was grateful and bowed to Cao Cao and Cao Yuan one after another.

Cao Cao waved his hand slightly, indicating that he could leave.

Dian Wei then stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation.

The panic on Cao Zhi's face had turned into With a relieved smile, he turned around and left calmly. Cao Cao never looked back from the beginning to the end. It wasn't until the footsteps disappeared outside the palace that

Cao Cao let out a breath and sighed softly.

After that, he put away his sighs and sighs. His face has been replaced by a solemn and solemn expression

"The prince listens to the edict!"

Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back and shouted in a deep voice.

Cao Yuan stood up and cupped his hands:"Father, please give me your instructions. Cao

Cao waved his hand and said sternly:"I grant you full authority to suppress the rebellion. Immediately mobilize troops and hunt down all the rebels who participated in the rebellion!""

"I obey my orders! Cao

Yuan first accepted the order, and then asked:"Father, do you want to arrest the queen too?""

Cao Cao's expression was slightly moved.

He is a man of temperament. After so many years of getting along, how could he not have some affection for Bian?

If Bian just wanted to help his son rise to power, and used some shady means, he would also think of it. As for the love between husband and wife, they turned a blind eye.

But Bian's behavior was so extreme that he did not hesitate to allow foreign enemies to invade, disregarding his life and death, and disregarding the Cao Wei kingdom he had worked so hard to conquer.

This offended him. The bottom line was that he couldn't tolerate it. He put away his thoughts.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice:"That bitch is greedy for profit and wants to kill me. The relationship between me and her as husband and wife has been exhausted. Do whatever you want!"
