Chapter 1230: Things in Yecheng
Bai Feng originally planned to leave, but when he heard Xiahou Dun's request to stay, especially when Xiahou Dun told Bai Feng that he wanted to know more about the situation in Yecheng, he immediately sat down again.
"Then we'll stay at the General's Mansion tonight, hahaha."
After sitting down, Bai Feng smiled at Xiahou Dun.
He also wanted to know how much Xiahou Dun knew about Cao Cao's stroke in Yecheng and the fight between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for the crown prince position.
There is also Xiahou Dun's attitude, whether he supports Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, or in other words, supports Cao Chong.
After all, Bai Feng's base camp, Hanzhong, is right next to Yizhou.
Xiahou Dun's attitude still needs to be carefully considered by Bai Feng.
Only after steam trains, matchlock guns and cannons were manufactured, could Bai Feng truly no longer be afraid of anyone.
Xiahou Dun felt happy when he saw Bai Feng directly agreeing to live in the house.
Although Xiahou Dun passed the news through his own channels in Yecheng.
However, this information is relatively one-sided and scattered.
After all, it was impossible for Xiahou Dun to arrange manpower under Cao Cao's nose.
With Cao Cao's suspicious character, he was able to trust Xiahou Dun so much. In addition to Xiahou Dun being brave and loyal in battle, it was also a very important reason why he never did anything out of line.
"Hanzhong Hou, why don't you come with me to the study and sit for a while?"
Xiahou Dun asked Bai Feng.
There are many people in the house, and what Xiahoudun and Bai Feng are going to talk about next is not suitable for a third person to hear.
"good."
Then Bai Feng got up and went to the study with Xiahou Dun.
After the two came to the study, Xiahou Dun made Bai Feng a pot of tea, and then said to Bai Feng:
"I wonder how the Hanzhong Hou went to Yecheng this time and saw His Majesty. How did His Majesty look?"
Xiahou Dun had already learned about Cao Cao's illness.
But Xiahou Dun didn't know how serious Cao Cao's condition was.
So Xiahou Dun asked Bai Feng the question he was most concerned about as soon as he came up.
Bai Feng saw that Xiahou Dun didn't talk to him and asked him straight to the point about Cao Cao's physical condition. After thinking about it, he realized that Xiahou Dun had already learned about Cao Cao's illness.
None of the officials who can guard one side is a fuel-efficient lamp!
However, Bai Feng does not want to tell Xiahou Dun about Cao Cao's true condition now.
One is because Bai Feng does not want major changes to occur in the Wei Dynasty.
Second, Cao Cao did not want others to know about his stroke.
So Bai Feng couldn't tell the truth to Xiahou Dun this time.
"Your Majesty didn't look very well when Jie'er and I arrived in Yecheng."
"But after I took care of His Majesty, His Majesty's body is now back to health."
Bai Feng did not deny Cao Cao's illness to Xiahou Dun, but only concealed Cao Cao's illness.
"What's wrong with your majesty?"
Seeing that what Bai Feng said was consistent with the information he had received, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but want to know more details.
As a meritorious veteran who followed Cao Cao in establishing the Wei Dynasty, he naturally did not want anything to happen to Cao Cao's body.
So Xiahou Dun directly asked Bai Feng again. Although his tone was calm, the trace of worry in Xiahou Dun's eyes was still caught by Bai Feng.
"Your Majesty just felt cold occasionally."
Bai Feng directly brought out Cao Pi's rhetoric about Cao Jie.
"I see. Since you caught the cold occasionally and have been diagnosed and treated by Hanzhong Hou, His Majesty's health must be fine, hahaha!"
After Xiahou Dun heard Bai Feng's answer, most of his worries were instantly eliminated.
In Xiahou Dun's view, the fact that Bai Feng and Cao Jie were able to go to Yecheng to meet Cao Cao showed that the relationship between the two had turned around due to Cao Jie's maintenance.
Then Bai Feng had no reason to conceal Cao Cao's true condition.
After all, without Bai Feng's arrival, it is not impossible for Cao Cao to dominate the world, but it would never be as smooth as it is today.
"The general is so worried about your majesty's health. Your majesty will be very pleased to know that."
Bai Feng followed.
He was not worried that Xiahou Dun would learn about Cao Cao's true condition in the future.
However, Bai Feng believes that by that time, Cao Cao should have decided on the candidate for the crown prince.
After the crown prince was appointed, the biggest variable in the Wei court was eliminated.
At that time, even if Xiahou Dun learned that Cao Cao had suffered a stroke, it would not matter much.
Now that Xiahou Dun had learned from Bai Feng the thing he was most worried about at the moment, Bai Feng also asked Xiahou Dun:
"Your Majesty once mentioned to me this time, which of your Highnesses is the most suitable as the Crown Prince? I wonder if the General has any judgment in his mind?"
Xiahoudun didn't expect Bai Feng to talk about such a hot topic right away, and he didn't react for a while.
"The Marquis of Hanzhong means the prince?"
"Exactly!"
Bai Feng saw Xiahou Dun confirming with him again, so he answered affirmatively.
Why did Cao Cao ask Bai Feng about establishing the crown prince after Bai Feng diagnosed and treated Cao Cao?
Is there something else going on that I don't know about?
At this time, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but think about it.
Then Xiahou Dun couldn't help but began to doubt the authenticity of what Bai Feng had just said to him, that Cao Cao only felt the cold occasionally.
If Cao Cao hadn't felt that his physical condition was not good enough, why would he be in such a hurry to appoint a crown prince and even ask Bai Feng? !
Now Xiahou Dun couldn't help but think of this.
"As for the crown prince, I certainly support your majesty's decision."
Xiahou Dun said this, looked at Bai Feng and changed the subject.
"However, from the Qin Dynasty to the present, the eldest son is the heir, not the youngest, and the legitimate son is the heir, not the illegitimate son."
After saying this, Xiahou Dun stopped talking.
Bai Feng had heard that Xiahou Dun thought it was better to appoint Cao Pi as the crown prince.
Cao Pi was the eldest son, and his ability was not the best among Cao Cao's sons, but it was not bad.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have hesitated to make a decision on the appointment of the crown prince.
The appointment of Cao Pi as the crown prince is the most stable and safest decision.
It seems that Xiahou Dun, like me, hopes that the court of the Great Wei will be safe and stable!
At this time, Bai Feng couldn't help thinking in his heart.
"Hahaha, General Xiahou's answer is exactly the same as my answer to your majesty at that time, hahaha!"
Bai Feng then smiled at Xiahou Dun.
The two exchanged some information, and after testing each other's attitude, they were both quite satisfied with their gains.
For Bai Feng, Xiahou Dun, the governor of Yizhou, who was content with the status quo, was undoubtedly the best.
For Xiahou Dun, the peaceful transfer of power in Wei was also the best for the Xiahou family.
"Hahaha, no matter what your majesty decides in the end, we, as ministers, will naturally support it strongly!"
Xiahou Dun smiled at Bai Feng after taking a sip of the teacup.
