However, Cao Kui's spirit is not bad.
"What can I do for you?" Song Yan sat down opposite to Cao Kui.
Cao Kui picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of ink stone for song, then filled it up for himself. After they clinked their glasses, he said: "when I was king Yan, my biggest wish was to be emperor, but when I was emperor, I knew that when this emperor was really tired, except for you and jing'er, all people had to fear me. I'm afraid that's also the former emperors The origin of claiming to be widowed and lonely! "
"You want to abdicate?"
Song Yan asked with a smile.
"I do have this idea. I estimate that if I continue to be a king, I will either become a despot or be dead alive!" Cao Kui said with a wry smile.
"Ha ha!" Song Yan smiled. He thought of a sentence in a book he had read before. Marriage is like a besieged city. Those outside the city want to come in and those inside the city want to go out.
"Who do you think is the right successor for my sons?" Cao Kui asked.
Wen Yan, song Yan's mouth can't help but emerge a trace of ponder. There is a prince in Yan kingdom. Now, he asked him with this, obviously not satisfied with the prince.
The prince Cao Yi is in his early forties, so he can be more mediocre. If he is not the eldest son, he can't turn to be the prince at all. The most important thing is that Cao Yi likes to have fun. When he became the prince, there were more than ten concubines, which is more exaggerated than his Laozi Cao Kui. After all, Cao Kui has sealed three concubines in the past six years.
Because he was addicted to wine, Cao Yi was only in his early forties, but the whole person looked like he was fifty.
Therefore, Cao Kui was very dissatisfied with Cao Yi, and even had the idea of abolishing his position as Prince.
"Do you prefer the king of Wei?"
Song Yan asked.
"Well!"
Cao Kui nodded. Cao Cr, the king of Wei, was his fifth son. He was in his early thirties. When he was in trouble, there was a large army led by Cao Cr, and it took only two days to break a city, which was very military.
However, Cao CR's character is a bit cruel, so he can be said to be unscrupulous.
He has always been dissatisfied with Cao Kui's decision to make Cao Yi crown prince. If he was allowed to become emperor, his other sons would not have a better life. Otherwise, even if he was opposed by many ministers, Cao Kui would have dismissed Cao Yi and made Cao CR crown prince.
Song Yan naturally knew Cao Kui's worries.
After thinking about it, he said, "do it according to your idea. Isn't there still me? As long as I'm here, Cao chrome won't dare to mess around!"
"Ha ha! Good! Come on, let's have another drink! "
Cao Kui laughed and said that he invited song Yan into the palace just to make him promise. Unexpectedly, song Yan agreed so happily.
The next day.
Cao Kui summoned Cao Cr, the king of Wei, into the palace and gave him many rewards.
I can't help panicking at the news.
However, the Party of Wei Wang was greatly inspired.
And many of the courtiers also turned to the king of Wei. For a while, the reputation of the king of Wei increased greatly.
And on the second day.
The prince went to the palace to see Cao Kui, but he was not allowed to see him.
In the next few days, the prince went to the imperial palace to ask for an interview every day, which was shunned by Cao Kui. At last, an oral order came to rebuke the prince Cao Yi.
Suddenly, the wind direction of the court was clear, knowing that the emperor had mostly abandoned Cao Yi.
For a time, the Party of Wei Wang gained more momentum.
Three days later.
Cao Cr, king of Wei, was assassinated in the street.
King Wei was slightly injured. Dozens of assassins were killed by the royal guards.
Knowing the news, Cao Kui's face was very gloomy.
On the second day.
Prince Cao Yi goes to the palace of Xiaoyao to see song Yan.
"Brother in law, help!" cried Cao Yi as soon as he saw her
Although song Yan is just a idle prince, he has no power, but his influence in the court and the army is unparalleled.
Not to mention that his father-in-law is now the cabinet's first aide.
And he said, eight of the governors of the provinces were under his former hand.
By the way, now Chen Chong has been promoted to governor of a province, and his cultivation has also entered the realm of grand master.
Therefore, as long as he gets the support of song Yan, his position will be stable three points, which is also Cao Yi's poor Baba's running for song Yan.
"What are you doing, Prince!"
Song Yan has some speechless ways. Cao Yi is too cowardly.
It's just that he's a little strange. Who gave him advice and asked him to come to him?
"Brother in law, I didn't send anyone who assassinated King Wei yesterday!"
The prince said.
"I know!"
Song Yan nodded, but Cao Yi didn't have the courage. In his opinion, yesterday's assassin was either Cao Chrome's bitter meat plan or other princes who wanted to fish in troubled waters, but it could not be Cao Yi. He didn't have the courage.
"My brother-in-law, it seems that my father is going to abolish me, or you can help me to ask for my father!"
The prince begged again."Prince, are you satisfied with your life now?" Song Yan asked.
"Very satisfied!"
After thinking about it, Cao Yi nodded. He was a man with no ambition. His desire for the throne was not strong.
Song Yandao: "being an emperor is not necessarily as beautiful as you think. It's better to be a idle prince. Instead of letting the emperor dismiss you, you'd better ask for your own leave. You can sell a favor to the king of Wei. You give up the throne to him. Will he still have the face to deal with you in the future?"
"What if King Wei won't let me go?"
The prince worried.
"Isn't there still me? If he doesn't show brotherhood, I'll take care of him! "
Song Yan promised.
Half an hour later.
Prince Cao Yi left the palace of Xiaoyao.
And Cao Cr, the king of Wei, also got the news that the prince went to the palace of Xiaoyao. His face was a little gloomy. He was still clear about the weight of song inkstone in Yan state. If song inkstone wanted to protect the prince, the father and the emperor would not have abandoned the prince.
"No, I can't wait to die!"
King Wei decided to call in the think tanks to discuss.
Just then, someone reported the prince's visit.
The king of Wei was stunned, then he took someone to welcome Cao Yi in.
"Five brothers, I want to talk to you!"
As soon as they met, Cao Yi, the prince, went straight to the subject.
"You all go down!"
Cao chromium waved back, then smiled and said, "prince, if you have anything, please say it!"
"Five younger brothers, tomorrow I will write to the father and the emperor, please resign the crown prince, recommend you to be the crown prince!" Cao Yidao.
Hearing this, he was stunned by his prestige. Then he pretended to be alarmed and said, "brother, what are you talking about? I don't mean to peep at the prince's position!"
Cao Yi said with a smile, "don't worry, five younger brothers. I'm not going to visit you. I'm all sincere. I have no ambition. You are more suitable than me. I only hope that five younger brothers can think about our brotherhood in the future!"
Seeing Cao Yi's expression is not fake, Cao CR finally nods.
The next day.
Cao Yi, the prince, asked to resign as the prince. The whole dynasty was shocked.
Cao Kui, the emperor of Yan, decided to abolish the position of crown prince Cao Yi and become king Fuwang.
Three days later, Cao Kui decreed that Cao chromium should be crown prince.
Then, Emperor Yan once again made an order to let the crown prince exercise the power of supervising the state with physical discomfort. He was preparing to pass the throne to Cao cr. as long as Cao CR took over the court completely, he would take the initiative to abdicate.
Cao Cr, who gained the great power, was very happy. The next day, he began to supervise the country to deal with the major issues in the DPRK.
