The atmosphere at the scene was very heavy. Both Cao Pi and Cao Zhi understood that Cao Cao wanted to choose someone between them to succeed the crown prince. "And looking at Cao Cao's morbid appearance, it is very likely that in the near future, he will be able to ascend the throne that many people dream of ascending. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that they were not excited at all. However, the two of them did not want to show this mood to Cao Cao, so as not to lower his impression, so they had to stay calm. However, the two little brats revealed it. The time spent hanging out was still a little short, but this pretense of calmness made the surrounding atmosphere very depressing and solemn. "It seems that you know Of course you don't need to be so nervous. Everyone who experiences this will be like you. From a prince to a king, it seems that there is only one step, but this step is too many for many princes. There is no past. "Cao Cao is completely a kind father at this moment. He tolerates their ambitions. In other words, to become a king, you must have at least ambition, otherwise you will become a submissive person. "I'm scared." The two of them were startled and immediately knelt down. "You don't need to be afraid. I just ask you, if you become a great treasure, how will you treat your brothers? If you become a king, how will you manage this crisis-ridden country? Remember, our situation is very serious now. It's not good. If you don't think about it carefully, it's best not to say it in a hurry." Cao Cao comforted the two of them and asked them to stand up, and then gave the test questions. "Brothers are blood relatives. Nowadays, the country is in turmoil. If brothers cannot unite, how can they survive this storm? Therefore, my brothers will definitely treat them as brothers and sisters, just like their father, and they will work together with them to help the country. As for this country, I only have a little opinion. Now that the north is powerful, it is difficult for us to deal with it directly. We may directly surrender to it and concentrate on development as a vassal state for a few years, and then seek ways to become self-reliant. Furthermore, Liu Ming may be a good king, but his descendants may not be qualified kings. We may not be able to stand up if we endure hardships." Cao Pi thought quickly and immediately thought of a way to deal with it. Cao Cao was very satisfied with Cao Pi's statement. The only dissatisfaction was that he was worried that Cao Pi was too idealistic. He understood his son-in-law better than Cao Pi. Liu Ming was not a person who liked to see China divided into two countries, so he would definitely Choose unification by force. "The so-called vassal country, maybe he will take advantage of the trick, pretend to agree and then take the opportunity to mobilize troops to go south So if it relies on the name of the host country and the vassal country, there may be big trouble. "If my father is healthy, I am willing to watch my father sit on this throne forever. If there is any disaster, I am willing to bear it with my own body." Cao Zhi cried directly to Cao Cao. Looking at his son's filial piety, Cao Cao felt a little warm in his heart. The first thing Cao Pi thought of was what he would be like after becoming the emperor, but after hearing this, Cao Zhi thought about whether he was still alive. The ancients valued filial piety. Many people thought that if a person was filial, he would inevitably be loyal. In fact, there would be many examples later that would tell them that a filial person could also be a traitorous minister. Of course, there are not so many examples now. Cao Cao believed that Cao Zhi was a filial person, so Cao Zhi would naturally pass on his filial piety to his brothers. Respect between brothers, friends, and brothers should still be achievable. It is more humane than gambling oaths. However, a most filial person may not be the most qualified emperor Liu Hong was very filial, but Cao Cao also knew best what he would be like when he grew up. Cao Zhi's performance only made him feel warm, and then he felt uncomfortable. "Okay, you go back and rest." Cao Cao was tired and couldn't make up his mind which one to choose. "My son, I retire." The two knew that Cao Cao had not yet made a decision, so they could only regretfully retire. Since they have clearly become rivals, no matter how close the two are, there will naturally be a gap at this moment. Therefore, after going out, the two of them did not say a word, and even if they broke up, they left silently. In every dynasty, the emperor's sons can be crowned kings. Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were canonized as King Jianning, King Lingling and King Yulin respectively from the day they received the crown. If you set up a separate government office, you can recruit officials from the palace and have 500 personal guards. Cao Pi returned to his government office and recruited his trusted staff. This staff member was none other than the Jin Yiwei from the north. "My father is in poor health and plans to choose a successor, but it seems that he is not satisfied with my performance today" Cao Pi decisively told everything that happened today. "It doesn't matter. Compared with others, your advantage is your age.?, and both civil and military, as long as you can keep your composure, it should be yours, it must be yours. "The Jin Yiwei secret agent said with a smile. Cao Pi sneered, but said nothing more. In front of others, Cao Pi is the master of this palace, but when no one is around, he has to be restrained by this guy so Thinking about it, I felt really aggrieved. On the other hand, Cao Zhi also returned to his mansion and summoned his staff Yang Xiu. Yes, he was the last remaining orphan of the Hongnong Yang family. He had grown up and became Cao Pi's guest. This time, Yang Xiu had already known that Cao Cao wanted to choose a prince, so he told Cao Zhi that if he encountered Cao Cao's exam, he would not make any remarks and just show his filial piety. Show it to the maximum extent, as long as you give Cao Cao a good impression this time, and then show your talents slowly in the future. Now it seems that everything is exactly the same as what Yang Xiu said, and Cao Zhi even took him for granted. Confidant. ¡°Thanks to Dezu¡¯s help, otherwise I would have lost to my eldest brother this time. "Cao Zhi saw Yang Xiu and said quickly. "Prince, you don't have to be polite. Since Yang is a staff member of the palace, it is his duty to make suggestions for the prince. "Although Yang Xiu said it modestly, everyone could see his frustration. "Then what will happen if my father takes the exam with me in the future. "Cao Zhi asked anxiously. "It doesn't matter. You just need to answer according to the things above, and you will be fine. "Yang Xiu seemed to be well prepared and took out a volume of books. On the cover of this book, the most classic words "Ten Answers to Teachings" were written. This booklet can be said to be Cao Zhi's failure. The key is that Cao Cao actually paid attention to him in the early days. However, after this thing was exposed, Cao Cao was naturally disappointed. Unexpectedly, in this time and space, it still appeared. Cao Zhi got this booklet as if he had found a treasure. , just polite to Yang Xiu, and went to study. At the same time, in the Lingling Prince's Mansion, Cao Zhang was throwing things angrily, "Why, we are all from the same mother, why don't you give me a chance. "Cao Zhang was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's arrangement. In his opinion, his father looked down on him completely. He already knew that he had no fate with the throne, but his dignity as a prince made him unable to bear this fact. Perhaps he was extremely angry. , or maybe there is really no one to share this depression with. Cao Zhang locked himself in the room for a long time, and actually came up with the idea of ??killing Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. This plan was further extended, and even evolved to assassinate Cao Cao and then log in directly. Thinking about the future where he could sit on the throne, everything seemed not so difficult for Cao Zhang, and he started to go astray.
