I have a role in the heavens

When Cao Cao heard this, his face became even more disappointed. He was furious and kicked Cao Pi away again.

"You still don't know where you went wrong!"

"It is human nature to covet the position of the prince, and it is not wrong! However, you should never go against my will, secretly collude with the aristocratic family, and oppose the reform. Don't you know that the reform is the right thing to do? To make the fortune of our country, Wei Dynasty, more prosperous?"

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and then he was awakened by the severe pain in his chest and abdomen. Cao Cao's two kicks did not hold back at all. Cao Pi endured the pain and crawled to Cao Cao's feet again, kowtowing repeatedly, his forehead turned blue and red. Just begging for mercy.

"My son has realized his mistake and will never dare to disobey his father's will again!"

"Please, father, give me another chance!"

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, and his face looked a little tired. He was also an old man in his late sixties. Over the years, he had aged a lot in order to reform the law and system, in order to put such difficult things in the hands of the founding king of the country. Solve it so that future generations will not have to do it. He did not expect that his son would secretly go against him. Otherwise, he would feel a little sad.

"It's too late. You'd better rest in the palace and recuperate in the future! You can't leave the palace without an edict!"

Cao Cao got up. He had made up his mind and could not let Cao Pi mess around anymore. Now Cao Cao felt that he was old. Cao Ang had done a good job. He had no idea of ​​changing the prince. Fortunately, Cao Pi was imprisoned and could keep it. His life.

Cao Cao moved his steps and walked out of the study. Cao Pi looked at Cao Cao's back in disbelief and chased him out crying, directly saving Cao Cao's legs and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Father, father, I don't dare anymore, please have mercy on me and spare my son!"

Cao Cao was unmoved and glanced at Dian Wei. Dian Wei immediately stepped forward and pulled Cao Pi away.

Cao Pi struggled hard and kept shouting. Cao Cao's expression was indifferent, full of imperial majesty, ruthless and indifferent. He stared at Cao Pi coldly and said angrily.

"I have given you many opportunities, but unfortunately, you can't grasp it yourself and have disappointed me many times!"

"I will never give you another chance!"

When Cao Pi heard this, he seemed to have heard a huge joke. He looked at Cao Cao blankly and shouted loudly.

"Father gave me many opportunities?"

Cao Pi broke free from Dian Wei's restraints and did not approach Cao Cao again. He put a sarcastic smile on his face, laughed loudly and wildly, and shed tears in his eyes, full of unwilling accusations.

"What chance did you give me?"

"When you were still the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, you chose Cao Ang as your heir!"

"You never gave me a chance. You never thought of making me the heir or crown prince. I was just a backup, and I have always lived in the shadow of Cao Ang!"

Cao Pi's expression became increasingly dissatisfied and crazy, and he complained hoarsely about the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.

Seeing this, Dian Wei wanted to step forward to stop Cao Pi from continuing to vent, but Cao Cao waved his hand to let Cao Pi continue to vent.

Cao Cao had a gloomy look on his face, quietly watching Cao Pi scolding and crying, constantly blaming himself, without any emotion on his face.

"Why can Cao Ang put pressure on me?"

"He is also your son, why are you so unfair?"

"I was just born a few years later than Cao Ang, so I will never have a chance again!"

"Unfair, so unfair! I just want to fight and push Cao Ang off the throne of the crown prince!"

After Cao Pi vented his anger for a while, he collapsed on the ground, looked up at Cao Cao, and murmured with a bit of vulnerability on his face.

"Why? Father, why on earth did you choose Cao Ang as the prince so early?"

A complicated look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. Cao Pi was his son after all. Seeing how unwilling he was, he knelt down, looked directly into his eyes, and said lightly.

"That's all. After today's farewell, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to see each other again!"

"I will tell you the reason today."

Cao Pi became energetic for a while, and there was light in his dark eyes. He looked straight at Cao Cao, waiting for Cao Cao to answer his doubts.

"The reason why I chose Zixiu is because Zixiu has been recognized by Zhongdao!"

"I trust Zhongdao's judgment!"

Cao Pi was stunned and looked at Cao Cao in disbelief. This reason was completely beyond Cao Pi's expectation. He thought Cao Cao would give other reasons.

For example, in the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang gave up his horse to Cao Cao regardless of his own safety. Cao Cao felt that Cao Ang was pure and filial, so he chose Cao Ang as the crown prince.

Or maybe Cao Ang was chosen because of his outstanding talents and outstanding military exploits, which satisfied Cao Cao.

For another example, Cao Ang was the eldest son, and Cao Cao followed the principle of establishing a direct descendant rather than a concubine, and establishing the elder rather than the younger, so he chose Cao Ang.

Cao Pi never expected that just because Cao Ang was recognized by Wei Zhongdao, such a ridiculous reason turned out to be Cao Cao's principle for choosing the prince, making all his actions so ridiculous and absurd. If he had known this, why would he? Wouldn't it be better to do those things and directly obtain Wei Zhongdao's approval?

"This reason is really ridiculous!"

Cao Pi smiled bitterly. He didn't believe how this was possible.

"What's so ridiculous?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi very calmly, with a questioning tone in his tone.

"The emperor is the lord of the world, and the world is arbitrary. When establishing a prince, he would actually consider whether his ministers agree with it. Isn't this ridiculous and ridiculous?"

"It's not absurd at all. Without Zhongdao, there would be no establishment of the Wei Dynasty. He is the current Jiang Shang and can lay the foundation for the Wei Dynasty for a hundred generations and make it prosperous forever!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the palace. Dian Wei glanced at the lost Cao Pi, with some sympathy in his eyes, shook his head, stepped out, and stood behind Cao Cao to protect the safety of Emperor Wei.

The East Palace and Study Room are magnificent, luxurious and elegant.

Cao Ang sat on the main seat. At this time, he was much more mature. He had two black beards on the corners of his mouth. He looked much more stable than Wei Zhongdao. He looked at Zhuge Liang on the left and asked.

"Sima Yi died suddenly. Will my father punish my arrogant second brother?"

Zhuge Liang also had some changes at this time, calm and calm. He has now reached the peak, and his spiritual cultivation has even surpassed Xun Yu and others, second only to Wei Zhongdao. Cao Cao attaches great importance to him, and now he has become the Minister of Household Affairs. He has joined the cabinet and is Cao Ang's right-hand man and first confidant.

"Your Majesty is very decisive and will never let Prince Xiao off lightly!"

"I just received the news that His Majesty has gone to Prince Xiao's Mansion, and he should be there to question the crime!"

King Xiao was referring to Cao Pi, so Zhuge Liang naturally did not dare to monitor Cao Cao's whereabouts. It's just that Cao Cao went to Prince Xiao's Mansion with great fanfare without any cover-up, which made Zhuge Liang easily conclude that Cao Pi should be completely cold this time.
