Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Chapter 157: The Real Purpose of the Talent Recruitment Conference

Thirty passed quickly, and at this time Xuchang was in the city.

Now the whole Xuchang is extremely abnormal.

All the countless gentry are arranging affairs intensively.

Everyone knows that Bai Feng is coming back.

During this time, the recruiting conference has ended.

Although they did not recruit a few poor families, these gentry knew very well that this conference was just a cover.

Cao Cao's real intention was to suppress the gentry and give the gentry a warning.

And Bai Feng, as the leader of suppressing the gentry, the gentry did not dare to neglect.

At this time, in Sima's mansion.

"Sir, you should know that you shouldn't have come."

Sima Yi was still lying on the grand teacher's chair, slightly squinting his eyes and shaking his head slightly.

Standing next to Sima Yi is Cao Pi!

Although Sima Yi refused to be an official, the Sima family is also a big family after all.

Now the prime minister is trying to suppress the gentry, and now everyone can do nothing if they can.

And Cao Pi, who is still fighting for the position of the son, has now come to his own house.

If the prime minister knows about this, it will inevitably alienate Cao Pi.

In this case, Cao Pi's contribution to defending the city by taking the lead in Xuchang before, I am afraid that it will be burned.

Cao Pi smiled slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Sir, there is no need to worry. I must be fully prepared for my visit this time."

"Besides you and me, no third person will know that I'm coming to see you."

Although Cao Pi and Sima Yi have always kept in touch, they rarely communicate on the surface.

In addition, Cao Cao returned to his capital Xuchang in the past few days, and Cao Pi never came to see Sima Yi at all.

Cao Pi still knew a thing or two about his father's thoughts.

Including when Cao Zhi started to win over the gentry at the talent recruitment conference before, Cao Pi still did not show up.

The more this time, the more time to test Cao Pi's endurance.

But now Cao Pi can't wait any longer.

Bai Feng is coming back!

I'm afraid Xuchang City is about to change!

When Sima Yi heard Cao Pi's words, he shook his head helplessly.

Cao Pi is still young and still too immature.

In this city of Xuchang, is there anything that can escape the prime minister's eyes?

If there is, I'm afraid only Bai Feng can do it.

"Sir, you should know the purpose of my visit."

Cao Pi didn't wait any longer, and quickly approached Sima Yi, whispering:

"Now Zijian has been wooing the nobles, and it has improved a little."

"And Bai Feng will be back soon."

"When he comes back, I think Mr. Xu should know what will happen to Xuchang."

"It's not that I can't help it now, it's that there is no way to wait any longer!"

"Please sir come up with a clear plan!"

Right now is the juncture of competing for the position of the son.

Now that Cao Zhi has attracted a lot of gentry strength, if he doesn't do anything now, without any power to support him, how can he beat Cao Zhi?

Cao Pi knew very well that although he was not the family of the emperor, if he could not compete with Cao Zhi for the position of the son of the world, he would definitely not end well.

Even if he couldn't die, he would probably be sealed as a small official with no real power, and sent to an unknown small city to spend the rest of his life.

But this is still the best result.

If Zijian had murderous intentions towards him, even the gods would not be able to save him at all!

Cao Pi has thought a lot these days, and he can't wait any longer!

So, Cao Pi came to Sima Yi.

Now it seems that only Sima Yi can save himself.

"My lord, you should be able to feel that the prime minister is about to become king, right?"

Sima Yi glanced at Cao Pi, stood up in desperation and said slowly.

Cao Pi was taken aback when he heard this:

"Isn't father determined not to be king? He said that everything will be decided after Mr. Bai arrives."

Sima Yi frowned slightly and said:

"My lord, do you know why the prime minister was called a nobleman some time ago?"

Cao Pi shook his head.

Although several counselors under his command have analyzed this matter with Cao Pi.

But including Cao Pi, everyone agreed that the prime minister did not want to overthrow the Han Dynasty royal family.

Sima Yi frowned and said:

"The prime minister is testing, testing the hearts of the people in the world!"

Hearing this, Cao Pi was shocked.

Probing?

Sima Yi continued:

"Judging from the current situation, the prime minister's pronouncing the title has received a very good response, and there is not much opposition."

"From this point of view, can the young master still not be able to guess the meaning of the prime minister?"

Cao Pi suddenly realized:

"I see, sir, that Father is paving the way."

Sima Yi nodded and said noncommittally:

"Moreover, he is not paving the way for himself, but paving the way for future generations."

Cao Pi's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't believe what Sima Yi said.

Sima Yi stood up from the grand teacher's chair, walked forward, and touched the canary in the cage in front of him:

"My lord, do you know what the prime minister intends to do when he issues a recruiting order and holds a recruiting conference?"

Cao Pi thought for a moment, then murmured:

"Father has always wanted to suppress the gentry. This move should be to introduce disciples from poor families, so as to push new forces to suppress the gentry."

"It's just that because the talent recruitment conference was organized by the gentry, in the end there was still no influx of people from poor families, and the few selected were also from the gentry."

"Father's move failed."

"No."

When Sima Yi heard this, he quickly turned around, shook his head and said:

"The Prime Minister not only did not fail, but was extremely successful, and he has achieved his original goal."

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi puzzled.

Sima Yi continued:

"Young master, think about it, the prime minister's great wisdom, if it is to bring in poor family scholars to suppress the gentry, why not let the cronies handle it, but hand it over to the gentry?"

"The purpose of the prime minister is to use the hands of the gentry to suppress the humble scholars so that they can't lift their heads."

"In this way, those poor scholars will hate, and it is not the prime minister who hates, but the nobles."

"In this way, the Prime Minister has achieved the purpose of suppressing the gentry."

Cao Pi suddenly realized:

"It turns out that this is the case. Father actually thinks so long-term!"

"It seems that I am still far behind!"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi and said nothing.

In fact, Sima Yi has already seen this.

The real purpose of the recruiting conference is to make the poor family hate the gentry, and use the knife of the poor family to kill the gentry.

Although the poor family is small in power, they have a large number of people. With them becoming the swords of the prime minister, the gentry will definitely not be able to withstand it.

So Sima Yi refused to be an official, and also reduced a lot of contacts with other gentry.

Even at the recruitment conference, although I went by myself, I didn't raise a single word.

In this way, the two sides will not be offended, and Mingzhe can protect himself to ensure that the Sima clan will not be affected by this matter.

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he knew his father's intentions, there was one person, Cao Pi still didn't know where he was.

"What about Bai Feng?"
