The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 431 Cao Pi: I’m OK again!
In this way, the aristocratic families will still be in power in the future.

However, Cao Zhang on the side did not think so much.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked Xu Shu:

"Yuanzhi, what is my father's attitude? Has he reached a conclusion?"

Xu Shu shook his head and answered truthfully:

"Sir, Duke Wei has not yet agreed. He only said that we will discuss this matter in a few days."

Hearing this, Cao Zhang's face became quite nervous and he said:
"In this case, we should not stay here for long!"

"Renda, I need to go back to Xudu City first!"

"Based on my father's personality, I'm afraid he will call us boys tomorrow."

"Everyone went to the mansion to listen to his lecture!"

Sima De heard this and chuckled:

"Ziwen, don't be nervous. Given the current situation."

"My father-in-law will never easily appoint a crown prince."

"We really need to determine who will take over the Cao family business in the future."

"That will be later, and definitely not now!"

Cao Zhang and Xu Shu were both stunned when they heard this!
They were puzzled as to why Sima De was so confident.

Sima De smiled and said mysteriously:
“At present, schools are being built in various places, and several workshops are in full swing.”

"Naturally, the noble families are jealous."

"And my father-in-law has been firmly seated on the throne of Duke of Wei for two years."

"It's time to consider going a step further."

"The reason why I reply to Chen Qun like this now."

"Of course, it's intentional to whet these people's appetites."

"This is what is called Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong"

Cao Zhang was still confused after hearing this!

Xu Shu seemed to be thinking about something when he heard this.

At this time, it was not only Cao Zhang and others.

He was surprised that Chen Qun instigated Cao Cao to establish a crown prince.

Even Cao Pi, the biggest beneficiary of this move.

At this time, he was also extremely panic-stricken and frightened!
In Cao Pi's mansion in Xudu, Cao Pi who had just learned of this.

He quickly summoned Chen Qun.

And facing Chen Qun's calm look.

Cao Pi also frowned and asked with a complaining expression:
"Changwen, what exactly do you want to do?"

"You know, this action today... has put me in jail!"

"My father has always been suspicious, and everyone knows that you and I have a close relationship."

"You proposed this today. How do you want him to view me in the future?"

"What if he misunderstands my intentions and thinks that I covet..."

Cao Pi stopped talking here and let out a heavy sigh.

Then, he turned eagerly to Sima Yi who had come with him, and almost pleaded:

"Please Zhongda come up with a foolproof solution."

"Teach me how to dispel my father's suspicion!"

"Should I go and apologize to my father right now?"

And facing Cao Pi's suspicion.

Sima Yi, who was sitting next to him, slowly came back to his senses.

With sharp eyes, he stared at Cao Pi who seemed at a loss, and said in a deep voice:
"Sir! In Yi's opinion, there is nothing wrong with what Changwen did!"

"Since Duke Zhu was promoted to Duke of Wei, he has been victorious in every campaign he has fought."

"And now the principality's borders and capital city have been planned."

"Only the position of the crown prince remains undecided."

"Sir, don't you think there's something fishy going on here?"

"As the Chief Censor, Changwen would be derelict in his duty if he did not bring this up."

"And what he did today was exactly what he was supposed to do and it was in line with common sense."

Sima Yi's words were like a reassurance.

This immediately relieved Cao Pi's anxiety a little.

He turned to look at Chen Qun, eager to verify:

"Long article, is that true?"

And under the dual pressure of Cao Pi's questioning and Sima Yi's calm analysis.

Chen Qun also raised a bitter smile and replied:

"Sir, what Zhongda said is absolutely right."

"As the Imperial Censor-in-Chief of the Wei government."

"It is my job to offer suggestions, but..." Chen Qun suddenly changed the subject, making Cao Pi's heart tighten!
"This time, Zhongda guessed wrong."

As he spoke, he glanced at Sima Yi meaningfully.

"The proposal to establish a crown prince was actually privately instructed by Duke Wei."

"On the eve of the meeting, Duke Wei summoned me alone."

“Although he didn’t say it explicitly, it was clear between the lines.”

"It has been suggested that I should act in this way."

When these words were spoken, not only Cao Pi was stunned on the spot!
Even Sima Yi couldn't help but stare, his eyes slightly open, stunned for a moment.

After a long time, Cao Pi regained consciousness and whispered in disbelief:

"Father, what do you mean?"

"Does he really intend to make me...his crown prince?"

Having said this, Cao Pi's heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.

A complex feeling of waiting for years and finally seeing the light of day surged into my heart!
The position of the crown prince is what he dreams of day and night!

But in response to Cao Pi's question, Chen Qun shook his head and did not answer.

Because he himself was unable to understand the true intention of his lord Cao Cao.

From Chen Qun's perspective, if Cao Cao really wanted to make Cao Pi the crown prince.

Why so mysterious?

Just announce it to everyone directly.

But unfortunately, today, according to Cao Cao's intention,

Cao Cao then said that he would discuss it again tomorrow, which was an puzzling move.

Even Chen Changwen, who is resourceful and thoughtful, finds it difficult to discern the mystery behind it.

Sima Yi, who was standing by, was also pondering the deeper meaning behind Cao Cao's move.

Just as Sima Yi was speculating whether this was another test from Cao Cao to Cao Pi.

An inspiration flashed through my mind like lightning.

"Young Master!" Sima Yi called out urgently.

"Do you know where Master Cao Zhi is now?"

"Is he still staying in Yecheng?"

Sima De's words awakened the dreamer.

Cao Pi suddenly realized and responded quickly:

"Half a month ago, my father ordered Zijian to come to Xudu."

"According to my calculations, he should arrive in Xudu within a few days."

Sima Yi shook his head slightly at the time given by Cao Pi and said decisively:

"Sir, if Yi's judgment is correct, Master Cao Zhi will arrive in the capital today."

"Now, Yi seems to understand a little."

"Why did Duke Wei instruct Changwen to act this way?"

"This test is not just for you, young master."

"It's a test for all the young masters!"

"When we discuss the appointment of the crown prince tomorrow, whether it is you, the fifth son Cao Zhi or the fourth son Cao Zhang."

"Who showed too much desire for the position of Crown Prince?"

"It is even more unlikely that Duke Wei will pass the throne to him."

Sima Yi paused and bowed to Cao Pi.

"If you trust me, remember not to rush to fight for it tomorrow, and be humble."

“If necessary, you can even recommend other brothers.”

"To retreat in order to advance may produce unexpected results."

After Sima Yi finished speaking, he fell silent.

Chen Qun, who was standing by, also suddenly realized:
"Zhongda is so talented and intelligent that everyone else cannot compare to him!"

"Sir, Zhongda's words make sense. Please think twice."

With Sima Yi's speculation in advance and Chen Qun's persuasion.

Cao Pi suddenly became enlightened:
"Fortunately, I have two wise men, Zhongda and Changwen, by my side."

"It enables me to always foresee opportunities!"

For a moment, Cao Pi felt grateful to Sima Yi and the others.

He was even full of confidence about the matter of appointing the crown prince tomorrow.

As long as I perform well tomorrow, the position of crown prince will be within my grasp!
Cao Pi's gratitude made both of them feel happy.

However, Sima Yi and Chen Qun smiled at each other tacitly.

Because at this moment Sima Yi had already sent his sixth brother Sima De, who was assisting Cao Zhang.

As his strongest opponent!
When facing such an opponent, it is natural to strike first!
