The shocked expression on Cao Cao's face was because in his expectation, Cao Chong's answer should not be this.

Cao Cao is not an ignorant person. In fact, if Cao Cao can stand at the highest point to govern so many people with high IQ, his intelligence will naturally not be low.

Among the smartest people in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao may not be ranked first, but the top five are definitely more than enough.

Such a person will naturally know what choice he makes, which will be beneficial to his youngest son.

In Cao Cao's mind, Cao Chong should have asked himself to move forward.

This is a huge benefit for him.

But this is not the answer of Kurashu.

Cao Cao's face was shocked, but his expression was full of appreciation when he looked at Cao Chong.

Ho~

I really have a good son!

As for the disbelief on Cao Pi's face, it was naturally the same as Cao Cao's.

Cang Shu didn't even get into trouble?

This was really beyond Cao Pi's expectations.

But the disbelief on Cao Pi's face lasted for a moment, and soon, his face calmed down.

He didn't think Cao Chong was helping him. Cao Chong must have his own ideas when he did this.

So what is the purpose of Cao Chong's words?

Cao Pi's eyelids were lowered and he couldn't help but start thinking.

Xu Shu let go of his worries, because at this moment, Cao Chong's thoughts were the same as him, and his thoughts were the same, that would be fine.

This is the reason why Xu Shushu was breathing, and Zhuge Liang was thinking about it, as if he had a different view.

Of course, most of these people were shocked or relaxed and confused about these emotions, but the emotions in their hearts of the relatives outside the Dacheng Palace were not that simple.

Although Cao Zhen and others did not hear Cao Cao's question, they heard Cao Chong's words.

But just Cao Chong's words made them so angry that their faces were red and their necks were thick.

Cao Zhen even started roaring in his heart.

Marquis of Luoyang, you are a member of my Cao family after all, why don’t you know the general?

If the King ascended that position, would it be of no benefit to you?

You are the son of the king, and you will be the princes in the future. How could you not see such a good thing?

It's so annoying to me!

Cao Zhen now wants to rush in and beat Cao Chong up, but his rationality still makes him a little quieter.

Forget it!

snort!

You Cao Cangshu said this and said this, I still have Zihuan.

Zihuan is the eldest son and has always been prestigious in the court. What he said is naturally more important than what you, the Marquis of Luoyang, said.

When he thought of this, the anger in Cao Zhen's heart dissipated a lot.

....................................

at this time.

Inside the Dacheng Hall.

After hearing Cao Chong's answer, Cao Cao immediately asked another question.

"Why is this?"

Why?

Cao Chong smiled in his heart, knowing that it was time to win his reputation.

Therefore, Cao Chong's voice was also as loud as before.

"I believe that my Cao family is a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can I have the intention of being a disobedient? This is one of them." This sentence is for those loyal Han people to listen to.

Sure enough, when Cao Chong said this, Xu Shu's face showed a look of emotion.

I think Xu Shu felt that he was following the right person.

Zhuge Liang, who was next to Xu Shu, frowned slightly.

After saying the above sentence, Cao Chong paused for a moment and immediately said the following words.

"Secondly, the world is at its beginning, and there are troubles everywhere. Even if the father is as good as outsiders think, he will be inappropriate in his position. With my Cao family, there are only disadvantages and no benefits."

Cao Chong's words are to consider the problem from the perspective of Cao family and Cao Cao.

Want to seize the throne, right?

Yes, but the time has not come yet. Even if you have this intention, you have to wait a moment.

This was heard by the relatives and nobles of the Cao family, and most of them sneered at Cao Chong's words, but Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others were slightly awakened by Cao Chong's words and began to think unconsciously.

"Third, although Your Majesty is ineffective, he has not lost his virtue. If the father takes a step forward, it will be inappropriate."

After listening to Cao Chong's three words, Cao Cao was also silent for a while.

But after this moment, Cao Cao's face returned to its original color. He smiled at Cao Chong and said, "I am worthy of being my Qilin son of the Cao family, my good son, good, very good."

Obviously, Cao Cao was quite satisfied with Cao Chong's answer.

After Cao Cao said this, he quickly turned his eyes to Cao Pi.

"Zihuan, what about you?"

Where is me?

Cao Pi took a deep breath in his heart. In a very short period of time, countless thoughts and thoughts in Cao Pi's mind collided.

There are two answers before Cao Pi, but the choice of these two answers is not that easy.

It can be said that compared to Cao Chong's choice, it is more difficult for Cao Pi to make this choice.

This difficulty is reflected in Cao Pi's current answer that may have an impact on the forces behind him. In other words, his current choice is closely related to his interests, unlike Cao Chong, and Cao Chong's interests have nothing to do with the answers to these two choices.

Therefore, Cao Chong's answer can be wild and unrestrained.

But Cao Pi couldn't.

If Cao Pi chose to let Cao Cao go further, the relatives of the Cao Xiahou family would naturally be happy. However, if Cao Pi really did this, those aristocratic families that still care about the Han Dynasty would gradually move away from Cao Pi.

These aristocratic families account for a large proportion of Cao Pi's group.

But Cao Pi also knew that if he answered like Cao Chong, it would not only make Cao Cao feel that he was not as smart as Cao Chong, but also let down the hearts of his relatives and nobles.

Cao Pi needs to give up two choices, each of which is the one that Cao Pi needs to give up.

In fact, among these two answers, Cao Pi wanted to choose either answer.

But obviously, he had to choose an answer.

Cao Pi pondered for a moment and said the words.

"Father, son minister and Cang Shu both think that the father's step cannot be taken."

Although Cao Pi's voice was not as loud as Cao Chong, the voice still reached outside Dacheng Hall.

Outside the hall, Cao Zhen, who was originally very excited and confident in winning, suddenly frozen after listening to Cao Pi's words.

"No...can't you take it? Is it really impossible to take this step?"

Cao Zhen's energy seemed to have been drained.

Zihuan, how is your answer different from me?

Cao Zhen sat on the ground, and the originally noisy relatives collectively lost their voices at this moment.

They became extra quiet.

Although Cao Pi could not see the scene outside, the sudden stagnation of the sound of Cao Pi could still remind Cao Pi of what Cao Zhen and the others looked like at this time.

Cao Pi sighed deeply and thought to himself:

Alas ~

Zidan, I have my own difficulties for my brother!

Cao Pi made such a choice, which was indeed Cao Pi's difficulties, or planning.

After Cao Chong said that, Cao Pi's choice was the only one left.

If Cao Pi chose another answer, Cao Pi would indeed please his relatives and nobles, but it would hurt his vitality.

If one's own vitality is severely damaged, those aristocratic families will inevitably turn their heads to support Cao Chong. As one rises and the other falls, the situation of victory and defeat is different.

This is not the ending that Cao Pi wants to see.

Although I made such an answer to a certain extent, it would bring about the hearts of my relatives and nobles, but the advantage was that I could save the power of the aristocratic family.

This is definitely more beneficial than disadvantages.

What's more, Cao Chong made such a choice as he did.

Those nobles may have some complaints in their hearts, but they will never leave themselves and go to Cao Chong.

After thinking about this, Cao Pi naturally knew much more about his choice.

After hearing Cao Pi's answer, a bright color flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

It is obvious that Cao Pi was still able to make a judgment in the changing situation, which Cao Cao admired very much.

But appreciation is appreciation.
