These two answers are clear. Although Cao Chong and Cao Pi and others made this choice, they surprised Cao Cao for a moment, but they did not cause any trouble in their hearts.

Because Cao Cao's purpose is not here.

So even if Cao Chong and Cao Pi's answer were so vague, Cao Cao was still feeling nothing.

He had an answer in his mind.

And this answer coincides with his two sons.

That is not to be called emperor.

There are many reasons why Cao Cao was not called emperor in later generations, and the biggest reason was naturally that the Three Kingdoms were at that time.

Especially in those years when Cao Cao was in power, the situation in the world was very unclear.

Cao Cao in later generations is like Cao Cao now, and he may want to be emperor deep in his heart.

The reason why Cao Cao in later generations did not become emperor was because during the years when Cao Cao ruled the Wei Kingdom, it was precisely when Liu Bei and Guan Yu caused a great shock in the military and political structure in the Han River Basin. It was precisely because of this series of events that hindered Cao Cao's final decision to become emperor.

From the battle of Dingjun Mountain to kill Xiahou, Liu Bei began to gain dominance in the Hanzhong Basin, to Cao Cao finally realized that Hanzhong was just a useless rib that he had to abandon, to the Liu Bei group and representatives of Bashu Yongliang, who were called the King of Hanzhong in the story of Dou Rong, to Liu Feng and Meng Da, who decided to set up Shangyong counties, and to Guan Yu's northern expedition to steer the Central Plains.

The Han River seemed to have transformed into a giant dragon symbolizing the undying destiny of the "Han Dynasty". It was in the hands of a nemesis who claimed to be the King of Hanzhong for more than half a year in AD 219. This was the embodiment of the Liu Bei group's deliberate imitation of Liu Bang's story, intending to take a path to revive the Han Dynasty with similar titles (King of Han, King of Hanzhong) and the same dragon-rise land (Bashu, Hanzhong) and Bashu).

In other words, Liu Bei deliberately built himself into Liu Bang's rebirth at this time. This set of political publicity offensives brought about by the "Han River Shock" could not have an impact on the mentality of the entire Central Plains scholars. Even if Emperor Xian of Han still existed, there was a precedent for Emperor Gengshi when Emperor Guangwu established himself in Hebei. In addition, in the year before Liu Bei won the Dingjunshan victory (218 years), Geng Ji, Wei Feng, and Hou Yin had rebelled or attempted to rebel in Xudu, Yecheng, and Wancheng. The whole world situation (the will of heaven and the hearts of the people) became strange in an instant.

This made Cao Cao dare not take risks, so Cao Cao did not proclaim himself emperor in later generations.

And now the same is true.

Although there is no Liu Bei or Guan Yu's mighty China, Cui Yan's plot to rebel has not been long, and Xun committed suicide yesterday.

Even if Cao Cao wanted to be emperor in his heart, he would not say such words at this critical moment, especially in front of Xun's mourning hall.

The reason for doing this is indeed Cao Cao's idea.

Before Cui Yan rebelled, Cao Cao planned to endure it first and then set off a long line to catch big fish.

Unfortunately, from beginning to end, except for Cui Yan and those in the aristocratic family, Cao Cao did not see the person he wanted to see.

The people Cao Cao wanted to meet were not the aristocratic families in Jizhou, he wanted to see the shadow of the aristocratic families in Sili.

pity...

Not.

Therefore, Cui Yan's death cannot represent the end of this matter, but can only represent the beginning of this matter.

Because the source of this incident was Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of Han.

Cao Cao said such words in front of so many people in Xun's Worship Hall, which naturally led the snake out of the hole.

Cao Cao wanted to clean the big house in Jiuzhou for himself and for his heirs.

pity...

Cao Cao originally thought Cao Chong would say the answer he wanted, but unfortunately no one said it.

However, when Cao Cao was a pity, he felt a little satisfied.

It is not difficult to see their wisdom from the answers of their two sons.

When his son is a man of heaven, Cao Cao naturally feels complacent.

However, since these two guys were not involved, Cao Cao had to push them in.

The first person to be pushed into the pit by Cao Cao was Cao Chong.

Cao Cao looked down on the throne and thought, and after a while he said a little desolately: "I heard that Your Majesty is not very comfortable in Xudu. There are always people around him. It seems that there are some people from the Xun family in Yingchuan. These people are really noisy!"

Well?

Cao Chong and Cao Pi's expression was a little abnormal when he heard Cao Cao's.

Especially Cao Chong, his face was not as simple as it was, it was strange.

Boss Cao, what do you mean by saying this?

Xun Family?

I am now the successor of Xun's robe and mantle, and I have some connection with the Xun family.

And Boss Cao’s words accused the Xun family of being a family that was devoted to the Han Dynasty?

It was related to the Xun family, especially when Xun's body was not cold, Cao Chong had to stand up and speak.

"Father, although the Xun family has dealt with Your Majesty, they are just following the will of your father."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Chong with a smile and said, "I thought they did not act according to Gu's will, and then they had other ideas."

Have other ideas?

Cao Chong's face became even more strange.

Cao Chong felt that he was targeted by Cao Cao.

In fact, Cao Chong was really targeted by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao naturally knew that Cao Chong had to stand up for the Xun family at this time, but even under this premise, Cao Cao still said these words.

What Cao Cao said now seems easy, but don’t forget that Cao Cao is the King of Wei, and his words can determine a person’s life and death without any reason.

If Cao Chong cannot defend the Xun family today, I am afraid that the Xun family will be deliberately made difficult by those who want to please Cao Cao soon.

The Xun family is a good family, but the elephant is still afraid of ants biting them, not to mention that those who please Cao Cao cannot be ants.

They are jackals.

Like a hungry and thirsty jackal who wants to invite him to his master.

So Cao Chong was a little confused, but he was just confused, and he didn't feel afraid.

Cao Chong knew his position in Cao Cao's mind and also knew how much Cao Cao valued him.

Especially before the Cui Yan incident, Cao Cao must have felt guilty about him.

Under such a background, Cao Chong confirmed that Boss Cao could not harm him.

But if you don’t want to harm yourself, then Boss Cao must have his purpose.

Cao Chong thought about the whole thing back and forth, and after listening to Cao Cao's question, he seemed to understand something in his heart, and there was a light in his eyes.

He seemed to have guessed the purpose of Cao Cao's words.

In order to expose all the forces hidden in the dark, Cao Cao needs to let others know that he actually intends to be in the 95th position.

Especially those who have ulterior motives.

As a Han minister, Cao Cao himself cannot explain it even if he is not good.

But he wanted others to know that he had this meaning.

Obviously, Cao Chonglai was on his body.

Cao Chong is not a Han official, and he is very clean behind him. Compared to Cao Pi, Cao Chong is more likely and feasible to do this.

After knowing Cao Cao's purpose, Cao Chong could only smile bitterly on his face.

The current situation is that Cao Cao wants to be a villain himself.

Cao Chong was naturally not very happy

When the consequences of evil people are hated by those who are close to the Han Dynasty.

Those pro-Han forces are quite large.

Moreover, Cao Chong also knew that if he did what Cao Cao wanted, his reputation would definitely be worse.

Offending so many people, come to please Boss Cao alone?
