The expression on Cao Pi's face did not change, but his hands were clenched tightly, and his whole body seemed to be trembling.
"Why, why!" Cao Pi roared in his heart.
Even though he was a son, Cao Pi had never received such treatment as Cao Cao.
This is a military tent meeting. It is a major event that affects the whole world. It is not a child's play. Generally speaking, if you are late for a military tent meeting for a minute, you will be dragged out and executed.
But now such a military tent meeting has been turned into a place for two children to play.
Not only did Cao Cao not get angry, he even stopped himself because one of the two children was named Cao Chong.
Cao Pi looked at Cao Chong over there, with mixed feelings in his heart: envy, jealousy, and finally it all turned into full of hatred.
Because as a son, he has never been treated like this by Cao Cao.
In the past, there was a brother Cao Ang in front of him. Cao Ang was very polite and tolerant to others. Although he lacked Cao Cao's ruthlessness, Cao Cao couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
When he was twenty years old, he promoted Xiaolian and worked under Cao Cao.
Cao Ang was the eldest son, so Cao Pi could only endure it. In addition, Cao Ang was indeed a good brother. Although Cao Pi had ambitions in his heart, he hid them deeply. Unfortunately, there were unforeseen circumstances and Cao Ang went out with Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu surrendered, and Cao Cao wanted to take in Zhang Ji's widow, Mrs. Zou, so Zhang Xiu resented Cao Cao. Cao Cao heard that Zhang Xiu was unhappy, so he secretly prepared to kill Zhang Xiu. As a result, the plan was leaked, Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Cao secretly, and Cao Cao was defeated. Cao Cao's horse Jueying was also killed in Wancheng due to Zhang Xiu's ambush. Cao Ang gave Cao Cao a chance of survival and took the initiative to give up his war horse to Cao Cao. His father Cao Cao escaped and protected his father on foot in Wancheng. Dian Wei, his close guard, was responsible for blocking the enemy in order to block the gate of the village and let Cao Cao escape. In the end, Cao Ang, Dian Wei and Cao Anmin died in the battle in Wancheng.
Brother Cao Ang is dead. The big mountain that was weighing on Cao Pi's head was moved away.
Cao Pi didn¡¯t know whether he should laugh or cry. He should laugh. After Cao Ang died, Cao Pi became the eldest son. He received Cao Cao's care, but brother Cao Ang's constant care still appeared in Cao Pi's mind.
It¡¯s time for him to cry. Although Cao Pi was still young at the time, one thing was certain. Cao Pi's perception of danger is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Before the Wancheng Incident, he felt the danger, but he did not remind his brother Cao Ang who was in the same camp, but left alone.
But one thing is certain, that is Cao Pi, who is probably one point closer to his most beloved position.
The power and status made Cao Ang really and completely forget all the previous unhappiness.
Cao Ang's death also seemed to have no impact on Cao Pi.
Cao Pi might have envied his father's love for his brother Cao Ang before. But it won¡¯t happen anymore, it¡¯s just a dead man. Can Cao Pi still compete with a dead man!
Even Cao Pi often visited Mrs. Ding because she was Cao Ang's adoptive mother.
Cao Pi was very caring. Whenever Cao Cao thought about Cao Ang, Cao Pi was always there to comfort Cao Cao, making Cao Cao feel that he still had his second son.
It can be said that the father is kind and the son is filial.
But all this changed, after a person landed.
This person is Cao Chong! Although Cao Cao looks a little uglier, a little shorter, and a little taller. But one thing is undeniable, that is, Cao Cao is rich.
At the beginning, Cao Cao was the governor of Yanzhou, and later he defeated Liu Bei, defeated Lu Bu and captured Xuzhou. Later, he groomed Yuan Shao and became the overlord of the north.
Cao Cao's status is rising day by day.
His power is also constantly increasing.
"Cao Cao is a womanizer, so Cao Cao has never been short of women.
Twenty-five sons! He, Cao Cao, had twenty-five children.
No matter how many brothers and sisters he has, Cao Pi doesn't care. Who makes him the eldest son?
He Cao Pi thought. After Cao Ang died, his father would pour all his love, or most of his love, into Cao Pi. Just like his father liked his brother Cao Ang back then.
"It's a pity that Cao Pi was wrong, so wrong.
Cao Ang is Cao Ang, and no one can replace him. He, Cao Pi, is not Cao Ang's substitute. Likewise, he, Cao Pi, cannot get Cao Cao's love.
No matter how much he did, Cao Pi learned archery at the age of six and horse riding at the age of eight, and was recommended by others.? Xiaolian, but unfortunately Cao Cao thought that Zhao Wen recommended his son not because of his real talents, so he ordered the minister Shou Guang Luxun Xi Ru to remove Zhao Wen from his official position in accordance with the policy.
And this man named Cao Chong, his father was full of love and care for him when he was born.
Give him everything, love him, whatever Cao Chong wants, Cao Cao will give him.
Cao Ang was jealous.
If it were just like this, Cao Ang would be better off, but this Cao Chong was too smart, so smart that Cao Ang felt threatened and jealous.
Cao Chong was born to Cao Cao¡¯s concubine, Mrs. Huan. He was very observant and intelligent when he was young. Five or six years after Cao Chong was born, his intelligence and mind were as smart as those of an adult.
At that time, Jiangdong sent a very large elephant. Cao Cao wanted to know the weight of the elephant and asked all his subordinates, but they couldn't come up with a solution. Cao Chong said: "Put the elephant on the big ship, mark the water marks on the hull, and then weigh the items and load them on the ship. Then you will know after comparing them." Cao Cao was very happy and immediately implemented this method. Sure enough, he knew the weight of an elephant.
If this was just a cunning plan, what Cao Chong did after that made Cao Pi feel more and more threatened.
In recent years, Cao Cao has become the overlord of the north, with many military and state affairs, and severe punishments. Cao Cao's saddle was gnawed by rats in the warehouse. The officials in charge of the warehouse were afraid that they would die. They considered tying their hands behind their backs and surrendering, but they were still afraid that they would not be exempted from the crime. Cao Chong said to him: "Wait for three days, and then you will surrender voluntarily." Cao Chong then stabbed his own clothes with a knife, just like a mouse gnawing, pretending to be unhappy, with a worried look on his face. Cao Cao asked him, and Cao Chong replied: "It is a folk custom that if a mouse bites the clothes, the owner will be unlucky. Now Shan Yi was bitten, so he is sad." Cao Cao said: "That is nonsense, there is no need to worry." Soon the treasurer said When the report about the rat biting the saddle was reported, Cao Cao smiled and said, "My son's clothes are nearby. Even if he was bitten, let alone the saddle hanging on the post?" He did not blame the treasurer at all.
Cao Chong is kind-hearted and knowledgeable, as shown in this incident. There were dozens of people who should have been killed for committing crimes, but were helped and forgiven by Cao Chong secretly.
This is already winning people¡¯s hearts.
Although Cao Pi is also doing it, every time he does it, it is for his father Cao Cao. That seems to be what Cao Pi should do, and none of those officials would praise him.
But it was different for Cao Chong.
What Cao Pi couldn't stand the most was that since he was a child, had his father really hugged him like this?
Cao Cao has boasted about Cao Chong in front of everyone more than once, but has he ever boasted about himself?
No! Cao Cao didn't!
It¡¯s as if there is no such thing as his second son.
Brother Cao Ang could bear it, but why did another one named Cao Chong come?
In such a military tent discussion, Cao Pi stood up because of Cao Cao's delegation of power, but there was another reason. That is Cao Pi establishing his own prestige.
If he wants to inherit Cao Cao's great cause, he must form his own team and have his own prestige. Otherwise, if the officials only know Cao Cao but not Cao Pi, how will Cao Pi lead his subordinates in the future?
This was a time to establish his authority, and Cao Pi didn't mean to target the personal guard at the Wei Prince's residence. He just raised the big board high and lowered it gently.
But he was completely slapped in the face by Cao Cao.
Father, you are too partial. Too biased!
Cao Pi¡¯s fingers almost sank into the flesh.
The blood was almost dripping from his hand.
It is enough to see the resentment in Cao Pi's heart now.
Just when Cao Pi could no longer bear it, a young man behind him took a step forward. He put his hand on Cao Pi's shoulder.
"Well?" Cao Pi turned his head and saw the young man behind him. Isn't it Sun Quan with blue eyes and purple hair?
"A moment of urgency may not yield results. Father is kind and son is filial, brotherly love. Only those who are relieved can be praised!" Sun Quan whispered to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi listened thoughtfully. He, Cao Pi, was not a fool. He also knew that if he showed the slightest dissatisfaction at this moment, he would be criticized by others, and it would even affect his father Cao Cao's judgment of him.
Listening to Sun Quan's words, Cao Pi slowly let go of his wrist.
Cao Pi wiped the blood on his hand calmly on his cuffs and retracted his hand.
Sun Quan couldn't help but smile as he watched Cao Pi's movements.
Cao ?If there is one person in this hall who understands his feelings, then it must be him, Sun Quan.
Because Sun Quan was like this back then! He was even more uncomfortable than Cao Pi because he had an older brother in front of him who was stronger than him in every aspect, Sun Quan.
Wasn¡¯t Sun Quan back then just like Cao Pi today? He wanted to make his own achievements, but was not recognized by others. People seemed to have turned their attention to another person.
"Brother! I wonder how your subordinates are doing now!" Sun Quan muttered to himself.
Sun Ce defected to Yangzhou and became Liu Mang's subordinate from the first generation of Jiangdong's little overlord.
"Brother, wait for me! Wait for me to go back! Wait for me to become that superior being!" Sun Quan secretly swore in his heart.
He must let the world know that he is stronger than his brother Sun Ce, not the simple second son~!
He wants to make a big undertaking, and the opportunity for this big undertaking is Cao Pi in front of him.
"Be angry, be jealous, let all your hatred come out. Only your dissatisfaction with Cao Chong and Cao Cao will give you motivation, and this will make my great cause successful. !" Sun Quan shouted in his heart to Cao Pi in front of him.
Cao Pi¡¯s actions were a subtle influence on Sun Quan. Looking at the bloody hands, Sun Quan¡¯s smile became more and more weird.
"Huh?" Sun Quan was looking at Cao Pi, and there was a person behind him who was also looking at Sun Quan.
Cao Pi's actions and Sun Quan's reaction were all reflected in this man's eyes. There was no expression on his face at all. He didn't know what he was thinking, but the light in his eyes told others, This person cannot be underestimated!
This person¡¯s name is Sima Yi! He also had his own plans and wanted to get something from Cao Pi.
These three people can be regarded as the same kind, and the three of them can also be regarded as enemies. Who knows, in the end, who is plotting against whom, and who is working for whom, it is still too early!
¡°It turns out he¡¯s Chongdi¡¯s friend!¡± Cao Pi over there responded quickly.
Based on the original trajectory, how can a person who can become the emperor of Cao Wei and force Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate without his own city.
So Cao Pi quickly corrected his attitude and smiled at Cao Chong on the table.
In that smile, at first glance, it seemed to be a warm brotherhood. You must not see the resentment Cao Pi had towards Cao Chong just now, the feeling that he wanted to kill Cao Chong now.
"Brother Pi!" Cao Chong looked at Cao Pi over there. Cao Chong was also a shrewd boy. How could he not see Cao Pi's reaction? His small eyes looked at Cao Pi from the bottom up.
With those bloodstained hands, Cao Pi could hide it from others, and he could hide it from Cao Cao, but he couldn't hide it from Cao Chong.
There are reasons why Cao Cao likes Cao Chong. One reason is that Cao Chong looks so much like him.
"If Cao Cao is a chimpanzee, and he was still a short chimpanzee, then Cao Chong is a small chimpanzee now.
Many brothers, such as Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong and others are talking about it. Cao Chong is so similar to Cao Cao when he was a child, as if he is Cao Cao when he was a child until now.
Coupled with Cao Chong's intelligence, Cao Cao was really impressed.
I hope my son will become a dragon! How could Cao Cao be unhappy with a son who looked so much like himself!
The love I had for Cao Ang in the past has slowly turned into my love for Cao Chong.
As for Cao Pi, it¡¯s not that Cao Cao has no feelings, it¡¯s just not that deep.
Cao Ang, the eldest son, has been with Cao Cao for more than 20 years.
At that time, Cao Cao was not yet powerful in the world. For his eldest son Cao Ang, he had the kind of love and expectations that a normal father would have for his son. Cao Ang had never let Cao Cao down, so he naturally had feelings for him.
Cao Chong is the youngest son. He is so similar to Cao Cao that he can be called the second generation of Cao Cao. How could Cao Cao not like it!
When Cao Pi was born, Cao Cao was already busy with his great undertakings. When he had no time to accompany him, his feelings naturally weakened. (To be continued.)
