Chapter 479: Conspirator

Jia Xu frowned and said, "I feel that everything seems to be out of control!"

Zhang Langshen nodded in agreement and frowned: "I think Cao Cao may be really dead!"

Xuchang.

Cao Pi ran into the backyard of the prime minister's mansion and found Sima Yi who was fishing by the lotus pond, and said anxiously: "Sir, are you not good!..." Sima Yi asked lightly: "Why are you so panicked?" Cao Pi said anxiously: "Sir, I just got the report and said that my younger brother Cao Zhi was drunk in the tavern, and said, saying a lot of nonsense!" Sima Yi smiled and said, "Since it's nonsense, why bother with the eldest son?"

Cao Pi said: "But, but he said..."

Sima Yi said: "If the eldest son acts openly and has a clear conscience, the doubts in people's hearts will naturally be relieved. If the control is lost, wouldn't it be true that Mr. Cao Zhi said?"

Cao Pi understood and bowed deeply to Sima Yi.

That afternoon, Cao Pi continued to guard Cao Cao in the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Zhi, who was drunk, stumbled in and fell to his father's coffin, and cried in grief: "Father, you are so wronged! I know you were killed, I know you were killed by someone!..."

Cao Pi stepped forward to support Cao Zhi and comforted him: "Third brother, don't be too sad. My father's spirit in heaven would not want to see my third brother like this!"

Cao Zhi suddenly punched Cao Pi. Cao Pi was punched by him in the face, stumbled and stepped back quickly, and his face became red and swollen. All the civil and military officials were shocked when they saw this.

Cao Zhi pointed at Cao Pi and said angrily: "Cao Pi, it was you who killed his father! It was you, you who killed his father in order to seize the throne!"

Cao Pi sighed and said sadly: "Third brother is not wrong to say this! If I hadn't felt it in time, how could my father be killed by Liu Bei's thief!" Cao Zhi shouted: "Don't push others from the past, you killed his father!" Cao Pi smiled bitterly, looked at Cao Zhi, and said: "The third brother scolded me so much, just because he wanted to inherit his father's position!" He nodded, "Okay! No matter what, it is because of my fault that my father would be killed by the thief! How can I have the face to inherit his father's position!" He bowed to Cao Zhi, "The third brother is famous for his talent and I believe he can fulfill his father's will! The second brother is willing to let his third brother inherit his father's position," turned his head and looked at the coffin, and said sadly: "As long as the second brother can stay by his father's mausoleum, he will be satisfied!"

Cao Zhi planned to expose Cao Pi early in the morning by drinking, and he thought of all possible results, but he did not expect the result in front of him. Cao Pi's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.

When the civil and military officials saw Cao Pi's true confession, they were all moved and had great objections to Cao Zhi who came to cause trouble. Xun You said: "It's really inappropriate for the third prince to drink and cause trouble during the lord's mourning!" The ministers also accused Cao Pi. Cao Zhi seemed a little at a loss when he saw this.

Cao Pi quickly advised all the civil and military officials: "Don't blame the third brother when you go there! Alas! I can understand the third brother's mood!" Then he clasped his fists at all the civil and military officials and said sincerely: "I hope all the uncles can assist the third brother well and fulfill their father's will."

Xiahou Dun immediately shouted, "This is not possible! The third young master can only recite poems and drink and make him our lord. It is not necessary to ruin the ten thousand miles of land that the lord has worked hard to conquer! This is absolutely not possible!" Xu Chu also said, "I think only the second young master is capable of inheriting the lord's will!" Cao Ren echoed, "Not bad! The second young master, as the oldest young master, should have the second young master succeeded to the throne according to the order of elders and young!" The civil and military officials agreed, and the scene was noisy, and Cao Pi was expected to be the one who wanted! However, Xun Yu and Guo Jia, who was sitting on the chair with a sick face, did not make a sound.

Seeing that everyone was a user Cao Pi, Cao Zhi was anxious and angry, pointing at the civil and military officials and said angrily: "How can you do this?"

Cao Ren said angrily: "The third son, don't slander your brother for your own selfish interests! The murder of the lord was done by Liu Bei and Guan Yu. This was seen by General Dian Wei and General Xu Chu with their own eyes. The loyalty of the two generals to the lord is known to everyone. Will they still lie?"

Dian Wei shouted: "Not bad! The lord was indeed killed by Liu Bei and Guan Yu!"

Cao Pi hurriedly advised: "My generals don't be angry! No matter what, I failed to protect my father, so it is only natural for my third brother to blame me!"

Cao Ren said anxiously: "Second Young Master, don't be too kind-hearted!..." Xiahou Dun stopped Cao Ren who was still going to continue talking, and whispered: "No need, everyone knows it." Cao Ren swallowed the words to his mouth.

Cao Zhi laughed loudly, laughing lonely and angry. He glanced at everyone and said sadly and angrily: "You, your father's ministers, relatives and friends, have really let down my father's trust in you!" Everyone just sneered and didn't say anything. Everyone had already decided that Cao Zhi was a despicable villain who could do anything to seize the throne.

Cao Zhi didn't want to stay here anymore, so he turned around and knocked at his father nine times, making his skin bleed. He stood up, turned around, and stumbled.

Later that day, Guo Jia, under the service of the servant, boarded the carriage waiting at the door. Xun Yu chased him out and called out loudly, "Fengxiao wait for me."

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Guo Jia, who was full of illness, showed his face. He saw Xun Yu and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Wen Ruo?"

Xun Yu climbed onto the carriage by himself, sat side by side with Guo Jia, and said, "I want to talk to Fengxiao." Guo Jia smiled and said, "Go back." The coachman immediately rushed up the carriage and walked slowly towards the national mansion. The two entourages and guards were guarding the carriage.

Guo Jia asked, "What do Wen Ruo want to say to me?"

Xun Yu said angrily: "Don't pretend to be a filial piety. Can I hide anything I want to say without you?"

Guo Jia didn't say anything, and waited for Xun Yu to continue. Xun Yu sighed: "The second young master's performance today is really eye-opening!" Guo Jia didn't say anything. Seeing this, Xun Yu simply made it clear, "Feng Xiao is as deep as the sea, and he must have seen the clues! What should Feng Xiao think about this matter?"

Guo Jia sighed and said sadly: "I didn't expect the lord to end like this."

Xun Yu asked, "Do you think the lord is willing to inherit his throne?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and frowned and said, "As a father, the lord must be sad and angry, but as the lord, he should be happy. With such a ruthless, decisive and wise child, the lord's ideal will definitely be realized!" Xun Yu frowned and said, "But the reason why this young master attacked was probably because the lord tried to change the system! How could he inherit his will?"
