Listening to Cao Cao's explanation, Cao Pi felt like he was being struck by lightning. He froze in place, stared at Cao Cao blankly, and murmured:
"Father...Royal Father, you..."

Seemingly aware of the talkative Cao Cao coughed lightly, and then explained lightly:
"Pi'er, although your uncle is in charge of Hanzhong now, not the area we rule, but he is the first line of defense to stop Liu Bei after all. We have to save and defend, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Cao Pi came back to his senses, his face had lost all color, he lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Father wants to help uncle and elder brother, it is a matter of course, the child does not dare to be paradoxical, just obey orders!"

Cao Cao heard his lost tone, snorted coldly, and said:
"You don't have to be so taboo. Since I promised to make you the eldest son after returning from the expedition, I will definitely do this. Although your eldest brother is away, he is your elder brother after all. Even if you really become the eldest son in the future and take over as the father position, you must also take care of your own family, that is your real uncle and your real elder brother!"

Even so, it is not so pleasant when these words fall into Cao Pi's heart!
Suddenly, Cao Pi thought of what Sima Yi had said to him!
Your father and your uncle Cao Su have never severed contact, and even support each other secretly!

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Pi was even more convinced of the authenticity of these words!
Although he has already obtained words from his mouth that will establish him as the heir, he knows his father too well!

What is contradictory?
Even the people in the world dare to coax, what else can Cao Cao dare not do?

Thinking of this, Cao Pi felt that the desire that had been suppressed all the time seemed to swell in an instant, making him unable to suppress it anymore!

"Obey! My child obeys father's orders!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao fell silent, moved his head forward, and stared at Cao Pi!

Cao Pi seemed to feel his sharp gaze, and his whole body trembled even more!

"Father... is there anything else you want to order?"

After a while, Cao Cao looked away, picked up a book on the table and said silently:
"It's okay, get out!"

"Yes!"

Cao Pi responded, and immediately retreated facing Cao Cao. Just as he was about to turn around, Cao Cao suddenly stopped him!

"Pi'er!"

Cao Pi's whole body was startled suddenly, and he got up quickly!
"The child is here!"

Cao Cao didn't look at him, but just looked down at the book and said calmly:

"No matter when and where, the surname Cao is a family member. Even if they have different ways, they share the same fate. Therefore, I think you should understand that if I know that you have done something that hurt your family in the future, let alone me. I won't let you, and your uncle can't spare you, do you understand?"

Listening to these warning words, Cao Pi felt his mind buzzing!
Although he doesn't have the shrewd mind of Sima Yi, he is not stupid, so he can hear the meaning of Cao Cao's words!
Then he arched his hands respectfully and said:
"I know my father..."

"Go back!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and ignored it!
And Cao Pi walked out of the mansion as if he was in a daze. It was not until he arrived at his own mansion that he realized that his back was soaked at some point!

At this time, his mind was constantly revolving around what Cao Cao said to him just now, and his heart could not be calm for a long time!

At this time, Sima Yi walked in from the outside, cupped his hands at Cao Pi and said:

"My lord, Sima Yi, I'm here to congratulate you, Young Master!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi turned his head slowly, with a dull expression on his face, "It's sir, what can we congratulate?"

Sima Yi smiled faintly, "Congratulations, young master, for successfully winning the throne, and from now on, the king of Wei will regard young master as the only one, and cultivate him wholeheartedly, why can't we congratulate you?"

Hearing this, Cao Pi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Father, his words have never been accurate. He may be thinking about his elder brother and uncle now!"

Seeing this, Sima Yi smiled and said:

"It's up to man! Please don't worry so much, my lord!"

"It's man-made?"

Cao Pi was taken aback for a moment, then asked:
"What do you mean by that, sir?"

Sima Yi looked up at Cao Pi, an elusive coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a soft smile!
"The battlefield is changing rapidly. Some things may end like this, and some things may start like this. No one can control it. Do you think so?"

Cao Pi didn't understand what he said, but he vaguely seemed to know something, and immediately frowned and asked in puzzlement:
"Sir, you mean..."

Seeing that he refused to admit his inner feelings, Sima Yi immediately added a slap in the face:
"Young Master, as far as I know, Liu Bei has already deployed troops in Xichuan, and Liu Bei will send troops north in a few days!"

Hearing this, Cao Pi was shocked, "You mean... Liu Bei is going to attack Hanzhong?"

Sima Yi smiled, neither affirming nor denying, "My lord, the King of Wei will definitely lead the expedition this time. There are still many things you can do, so you don't have to be so depressed!"

When Cao Pi heard this, he understood what Sima Yi meant. He wanted to reprimand Sima Yi for his treasonous thoughts, but he couldn't say anything in his throat!

Perhaps in his heart, he also thought so!
However, he would naturally not reveal such thoughts in front of others, so he could only say calmly:

"Sir, don't say these words. Father leads the expedition. We must ensure the stability in the future. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of father's cultivation?"

Sima Yi sees through and doesn't tell the truth, but just smiles, "My son's lesson is, but... the news about Liu Bei's army consolidation will probably come back in a few days, and then you will have to help the king of Wei, so I still have to Congratulations, son, you have finally become the most valued heir of King Wei!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi's face softened a little, and he nodded, "Yes! Sir, let's prepare as well. I will start to take over the work of the Prime Minister's Mansion soon!"

Sima Yi nodded, then turned and left!
Little did he know that after he left, Cao Pi's expression became more complicated, and his heart could no longer be at peace...

……

After a few days!

Cheng Yu hurried in from the outside and said anxiously to Cao Cao:

"King Wei! King Wei!"

Cao Cao was reading the diary in the room, and he was taken aback by him, "What's the fuss?"

After Cheng Yu came to him, he immediately handed over a military newspaper, "King Wei, just got the news that Liu Bei's army of 50 troops is marching towards Hanzhong. Counting the days when the military newspaper is on the way, it will take less than five days. It will be on the verge of Hanzhong City!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed!
"So fast? Isn't it spring yet? This Liu Bei doesn't talk about martial arts!"

After hearing this, Cheng Yu said anxiously, "King Wei, please send troops quickly!"
