After Zhou Yang ordered people to send the tiger talisman to King Chen, he did not dare to delay any further. He immediately went to the palace to see Cao Pi to report the investigation results and submitted the sachet letter that Concubine Zhen gave him.

Cao Pi held the sachet and did not open the letter. He asked with a deep brow: "Is this really what Concubine Zhen gave to you?"

Zhou Yang said in fear and fear: "How dare I fake it?"

Cao Pi sighed: "This sachet was woven by Concubine Zhen more than ten years ago. It was originally intended to keep it or give it to her future children, but I didn't expect it to be used in this matter now. I really can't bear to read the content of this letter!"

Zhou Yang suddenly realized it, but said, "If I hadn't understood the poems in this letter, I would definitely help the emperor interpret them."

Cao Pi suddenly laughed and said, "Brother-in-law is so humble. Just because my brother-in-law drinks and sings with me and Mr. Jia so many times back then, it shows that my brother-in-law is enough to be with the late emperor! But even so, I still have to check it out myself."

Zhou Yang breathed a little relieved. If Cao Pi asked him to help Xin read the letter, he would definitely be discouraged on the spot.

Cao Pi's hand trembled slightly and took out the letter and read it silently.

At first, Zhou Yang thought he was just excited because he was in a mood, but after observing for a while, he felt that Cao Pi's movements had been slow and felt something was wrong.

But at this time, I didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts, just wait for the result quietly.

Finally, it took a long time.

Cao Pi put the letter back into the sachet, his movements were still trembling, but his eyes said affectionately: "Let the letter be sent to King Chen!"

Zhou Yang did not dare to make random guesses, and quickly reached out to take the sachet letter, and asked with concern: "Have the emperor been overworking recently and felt uncomfortable?"

Cao Pi said: "In the past few years, I have been committed to pacifying the people of the gentry and the people in various places. The main force has promoted Confucianism, so that the country has won the support of the people of the world. The country's development has been quite smooth, but the border troubles have become the most troublesome problem, so it is difficult for us, Wei, to spare our hands to deal with Wu and Shu, and we have wasted such a good opportunity."

Zhou Yang sighed: "Not to mention that the Wu State has been operating very stably in Sun Quan's hands for a long time. Even if the emperor can free up time, it will probably be difficult to deal with the Wu State for a while. However, Shu suffered unprecedented heavy losses in the Battle of Yiling. Before Zhuge Liang just held the power and the internal stability was still stable, it was indeed an excellent opportunity."

Cao Pi continued: "Although the Wu Kingdom is difficult to do, they dare not offend us after the war with Shu. If they follow the original plan, as long as they make a good relationship with Wu, and with General Cao Ren in Jingzhou and General Zhang Liao in Hefei, it is enough that Eastern Wu will not dare to step on the border of our Great Wei. Unfortunately, these two generals are old and have some discomfort like me, so I am afraid that they will not last for a few years."

Zhou Yang said: "Is the emperor worried that the three major domestic problems will not be resolved in the past few years, so that the Eastern Wu has recovered and continues to implement the strategy of joining Shu to fight against Wei?"

Cao Pi smiled bitterly and said, "Since the late emperor, this has been the most troublesome thing for us. Wu and Shu joined forces and did nothing, but it is still extremely unfavorable to us over time."

At this time, an urgent report came from outside the door that Zhang Liao died of illness in Jiangdu, and a generation of famous generals died.

Zhou Yang's whole body was shocked, and at the same time, he saw Cao Pi trembling even more. He quickly comforted him: "Prince, please pay attention to the dragon body."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi shook his body and sat down on the back of the chair, with a confused expression. He obviously tried to be calm and said: "Immediately sending the detailed work to the Eastern Wu to understand the situation at any time."

Zhou Yang said: "I immediately sent someone to Hefei to replace General Zhang Liao."

Cao Pi said, "Who else can take on this great task?"

Zhou Yang immediately recommended: "At that time, General Cao Xiu often followed the former emperor to fight everywhere, and he was once the "savvy of the world" Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He can be said to be a talented general who stands alone and can be sent to Hefei to guard."

Cao Pi shook his head and said, "Wenlie is a pillar of the country. He originally planned to go to the Western Regions to recover and reign. Now he is going to retreat south and north to defend the Eastern Wu."

Zhou Yang said: "Now we can only tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. As for the Western Regions, we have to choose another person."

Cao Pi sighed: "Many things have been delayed and delayed. When will the dream of unification be truly realized?"

Zhou Yang also felt touched and hated that he always had so many concerns.

In fact, Sima Yi is obviously a very valuable talent at present, but he is hidden by himself and dare not reuse it. Not to mention that in order to prevent him from becoming a terrible figure in Cao Wei's plan to usurp the throne in the future, even if he is now trying to solve the most urgent task, it is already so difficult.

He has made an exception to bring him from Muye to Luoyang. If he is allowed to enter the court again, everything he has done before will be put into vain, and Cao Wei's future will only follow the development of history.

Zhou Yang never wanted all this to be a mistake. After all, there are only three problems in front of him. As long as time allows, they can be solved step by step.

Maybe it was just because I was too hasty, or because I saw Cao Pi’s current physical condition, my mood began to become a little confused.

However, when I think of Cao Rui becoming a successor in the future, he will also be a great wise ruler of Cao Wei, so I naturally feel much more at ease. I hope that if the dream that could not be fulfilled in Cao Pi's generation would have to be sent to Cao Rui.

However, the relationship between him and Cao Rui seems to be quite unfamiliar, and this son is even more irresistible.

It is not like following Cao Cao, starting with nothing, nor is it as close as it is to follow Cao Pi.

After three generations, even if the clan members who are truly related to blood will become unfamiliar, let alone Zhou Yang is just a son-in-law who entered the Cao clan.

It seems that Empress Guo’s concerns are not without reason. In addition to choosing a wise monarch for Cao Wei, she also has to take the initiative in her own hands.

This is a political path that cannot be controlled and chosen at will, and many things can only be like this.

"The rebellion of the Qiang-Hu coalition forces in Hexi has been imminent in Meijie. The Xianbei in the northern border has repeatedly invaded, and the border guards have changed for a long time." Cao Pi's eyes gathered, "The matter of restoring the Western Regions rule for our Great Wei is now only temporarily released."

"How does the emperor plan to arrange these three major problems?" Zhou Yang asked with concern.

"The Xianbei has repeatedly invaded the borders of our Great Wei, which has been around a hundred years ago to this day, but has never really set foot in the Central Plains." Cao Pi said, "The largest time was that the Xianbei King Tan Shihuai flatly refused the pleading of Emperor Heng of Han, and then pointed directly at Luoyang. In the end, he didn't know the reason. He just heard that there was a problem within the Xianbei. Tan Shihuai suddenly passed away and returned to heaven, otherwise the Central Plains would be a different situation now."

"Does the emperor mean to start from within the Xianbei?" Zhou Yang guessed.

"For the Xianbei people who are good at guerrilla tactics, they never conquer cities and territory unless our Great Wei has the powerful cavalry and Huo Qubing from the Han Wu period and the mighty generals like Wei Qing expelled him." Cao Pi said, "Otherwise, we can only adopt a pacification strategy. The difference is that the Great Wei was not as dark as Emperor Heng of Han. The Xianbei got the benefits and should temporarily stop the army, but in order to completely eliminate the border problems, we still need to start fundamentally."

"Putting the Xianbei is equivalent to pacifying the border guards, and at least it can help to temporarily suspend border troubles." Zhou Yang agreed.

"As for the Qiang-Hu coalition forces in Hexi, they will definitely send a rival general to suppress them." Cao Pi said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, I would rather let go and ignore them than destroying the Wei army to the hands of these most powerful cavalry in Xiliang in vain and destroying the confidence of the people of Hexi."

"I am willing to lead a large army to Hexi to suppress it." Zhou Yang did not volunteer.

In fact, he did not have that strong confidence in leading troops to fight. If he led troops, he believed that it would be good to be able to bring hundreds of soldiers who were usually close. If he commanded tens of thousands of brave warriors, it would be a talk on paper.

But behind Zhou Yang's confidence is Sima Yi, a powerful minister from the Three Kingdoms who have outstanding talents both politically and militaryally, is definitely his most reliable backing.

However, Cao Pi shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't trust my brother-in-law's ability and many capable people under my command. I'm just worried that if there is a change within the court, at least a powerful minister like my brother-in-law stands behind my support. Therefore, my brother-in-law cannot leave Luoyang no matter what. Only the name Zhou Yang stays in Luoyang is the greatest confidence in stabilizing the country and the pillar of the normal operation of the Handing Money House!"

Zhou Yang suddenly realized that if Cao Pi was starting to succeed, the purpose was to solve internal troubles and face three major problems in the borders.

It seems that being an emperor is indeed not a good job, and being a good emperor is even more difficult.

"It's better to wait until Zijian receives this sachet letter and see what will happen!" Cao Pi said, and his eyes fell back to the sachet letter in Zhou Baifa's hand, and paused and said, "I hope this good brother still likes to recite poems and writes, and is not interested in the government affairs. Even if he still has some feelings for Concubine Zhen, as long as he has not done anything to sorry for me."

"The emperor is magnanimous." Zhou Yang said.

"Have you brother-in-law done this like those ministers?" Cao Pi said with a wry smile.

"Anyway, everything will be discussed after the internal stability," Zhou Yang quickly changed the topic, "But the most important thing is that the emperor must take care of the dragon body."

After saying that, he took his leave first. As Sima Yi said, now he can only wait and see what changes are.

In fact, what was actually sent to Cao Zhi was not just the sachet letter from Zhen Fei, but also the tiger talisman that Cao Rui asked him to hand over.

I wonder if Cao Pi knew that the other third of the tiger and leopard cavalry were in the hands of his son, or was it just Cao Rui’s pretense of being mysterious?
