Chapter 828 Cao Pi’s Worries

At this time, in Xuchang City.

Cao Pi's mansion.

Today's Cao Pi mansion is extremely lively.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Yang Xiu were in the courtyard at the same time.

After Cao Cao proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi could only follow Cao Cao to the palace.

After all, as princes, they are now members of the harem. They are completely different from before and cannot live alone outside.

However, this gave Cao Pi and Cao Zhi the opportunity to meet more frequently.

After all, in the palace, it's not like there are too many people outside.

As for Yang Xiu, strictly speaking, he could not enter and leave the palace casually.

But after all, he is still Cao Zhi's study boy, so there is such a special case.

However, because of this, Yang Xiu had no choice but to give up his position as chief clerk in the army.

Now Yang Xiu only wants to assist Cao Zhi so that Cao Zhi can smoothly ascend to the throne.

As long as Cao Zhi can become the prince, not to mention Yang Xiu, even the entire Yang family can quickly rise to prominence.

Although Yang Biao was very disgusted with Cao Cao's behavior, there was nothing he could do.

This is a major trend now, and even if the Yang family opposes it, it will not be able to stop it.

Therefore, Yang Biao could only choose to accept the situation.

The Han Dynasty had perished, and this fact gradually occupied Yang Biao's heart.

At this time, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were drinking tea.

At some point, the relationship between the two actually got so good, which shocked Yang Xiu on the side.

But if you think about it carefully, this is the palace after all. No matter how much they don't deal with each other, they can't fight each other face to face like before.

After all, this palace is so big, any slightest disturbance will spread faster than the plague.

When the news reaches Cao Cao's ears, neither of them will get any good results.

"Zijian, do you know that Chong'er is not dead?"

While pouring tea, Cao Pi said interestingly.

From his voice, you couldn't tell what his emotions were.

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cao Pi with a shocked expression:

"What?"

"How can this be?"

"As early as five years ago, my father told the world that Chong'er was dead, and he even kept vigil for Chong'er for three days!"

"Second brother, please don't lie to me."

Obviously, Cao Zhi would never believe it.

Isn't this nonsense?

Five years ago, Cao Chong died! At that time, my father cried so sadly that Cao Zhi and Cao Pi secretly wiped away a lot of tears.

Now Cao Pi told himself, Chong'er is not dead?

If Cao Zhi believed it easily, he would be a ghost.

Cao Pi sighed quietly:

"How could I joke with you about something like this?"

"This is real!"

"Do you still remember the banquet held by Bai Feng at the Hou Mansion just a few days ago?"

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, gritted his teeth and said:

"Of course I remember. Seeing Bai Feng's proud look makes me angry!"

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Nearly 80% of the civil and military officials in the entire court were present at that time, and they all clearly saw Cao Chong appearing."

"Not only did he show up, he also gave Bai Feng a gift on behalf of his father, congratulating Bai Feng on becoming the Marquis of Hanzhong."

"If only one person saw it, I would definitely not believe it, but more than 80% of the civil and military officials saw it."

"Moreover, it is said that Chong'er stayed in the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion for a long time and finally left."

"It's self-evident what the two discussed."

Upon hearing Cao Pi's words, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu were dumbfounded.

impossible!

How could something like this happen?

Cao Chong is not dead, but resurrected? !

"This should be a good thing. If Chong'er hadn't died, he would have been seventeen or eighteen this year, right?"

Although Cao Zhi was shocked, he smiled calmly and took a sip of tea.

"Confused!"

Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhi helplessly, with a look that cannot be carved out of rotten wood, and continued:

"What do we two need most right now?"

"The appearance of Chong'er is the biggest threat to the two of us!"

At this time, Yang Xiu couldn't help but frown, shook his head and said:

"Master Cao Pi, I think there is nothing to worry about."

"Young Master Cao Pi and Young Master Cao Zhi are both direct descendants, while Young Master Cao Chong is a commoner."

"Even if he participates in the matter of seizing the legitimate son, Master Cao Chong has no right to say anything."

"What's more, Mr. Cao Chong has disappeared for so long, and now he suddenly appears. He has no support behind him and has no ability to compete at all."

Cao Pi shook his head heavily:

"If you just follow etiquette, I wouldn't worry."

"But have you ever thought about why my father concealed the truth about Chong'er's death?"

"To put it bluntly, my father still loves Chong'er. He is afraid that Chong'er will be harmed, so he uses this to protect Chong'er."

"Now that my father is proclaimed emperor, he suddenly releases Chong'er and directly goes to find Bai Feng on his father's behalf. What does this mean?"

"Yang Xiu, Yang Dezu, can't you even see this?"

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then thought thoughtfully for a moment, and finally his eyes widened:

"Young master, you mean that your majesty intends to make Mr. Cao Chong the crown prince?"

Cao Pi nodded heavily:

"Probably!"

"Moreover, you just said that he has no support from the forces behind him."

"If this is true, then my father will be the biggest force behind him!"

"Besides, think about it, why did father let Chong'er go find Bai Feng?"

"Today, among the nobles in this world, which one can be as good as Bai Feng?"

"Bai Feng, I'm afraid he is the one my father wants to send to Chong'er!"

Cao Zhi immediately shook his head and said:

"How is this possible? Second brother, please stop thinking nonsense."

"Although the relationship between the two of us is not as tense as before, after all, it is the two of us who need to compete for the position of crown prince."

"Second brother, don't use this kind of thing to confuse the public."

Cao Pi couldn't help but stood up immediately:

"Zijian, you are confused!"

"What's the point of lying to you?"

"Think about it, how much Chong'er has been liked by his father since he was a child?"

"If we really fight with him, can we win?"

"Don't you even have these little bits of consciousness?"

"You are really confused!"

At this time, Yang Xiu also frowned and said:

"Sir, what Mr. Cao Pi said makes sense."

"Your Majesty knows that Bai Feng and the two young masters have never gotten along, so this is the greatest help to help Mr. Cao Chong."

"The possibility of this is extremely high, and I'm afraid... we may not be our opponents."

Only then did Cao Zhi realize the seriousness of the problem. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Second brother, what do you mean by this?"

Cao Pi frowned and said with a particularly solemn expression:

"Now, whatever grudges we had before, you and I need to let it go."
