The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 413 Volume Test
"Great! You actually know how to tease your brother? I'll beat you up!"

Cao Pi and Cao Zhang thought Cao Zhi was playing a trick on them, so they immediately picked up their fists and hit Cao Zhi lightly!

"No! It's true! There really was a fairy sister just now!"

Cao Zhi was so anxious that he almost stuck out his tongue!
"She's a fairy lady in purple clothes! She's wearing a veil! I can't see her face clearly! But she's definitely a fairy lady!"

Cao Pi and Cao Zhang did not believe it and immediately teased: "Then Zijian, tell me, what does the fairy sister look like?"

Cao Zhi's eyes suddenly became empty, as if they slowly reflected the figure of a goddess.

"As graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a swimming dragon. As glorious as the autumn chrysanthemum, as flourishing as the spring pine. As light as a cloud covering the moon, as fluttering as snowflakes blown by the wind..."

Cao Pi:......

Cao Zhang: ...

Cao Pi stepped forward and slapped Cao Zhi in anger: "Isn't this the poem written by the emperor? What? Is it that our great talent only knows how to plagiarize other people's words?"

"no no!"

Cao Zhi hurriedly defended himself.

"I'm not plagiarizing. I just feel that in the whole world, only these few words of the emperor can match that fairy sister."

"Everyone knows that. There is only one stone of talent in the world, the emperor alone gets eight dou, and I, Cao Zijian, get one dou. From ancient times to the present, there is only one dou in common... So here I borrow the emperor's words to describe that fairy sister, and there is nothing wrong with that."

Cao Pi:......

No!

Let’s put aside the fairy sister stuff for now!
You'd better explain to me what "You, Cao Zijian, have one dou, and people from ancient times to the present have used one dou" means...

However, seeing that Cao Zhi seemed to have lost his soul, Cao Pi did not feel like beating up his brother again, and just started to speak heartbreaking words -

"Alright! Stop looking! Maybe they are just the beautiful wives and concubines of the rich and powerful in Chang'an City. You are simply a person who has never seen the world!"

"impossible!"

Cao Zhi seemed really angry!
"There is no man in this world who can be worthy of the Fairy Sister! And judging from her demeanor, she is clearly a spotless goddess of the Nine Heavens!"

Jiutian Xuannv?

Cao Pi fell into deep thought...

Isn’t it said that Lady of the Nine Heavens practiced dual cultivation with Emperor Huang?
Moreover, Cao Pi also secretly read Huangdi's secret book on dual cultivation, and the way Queen Mother of the West performed it was quite fancy!

So… is this metaphor really appropriate?

Seeing that Cao Zhi's idea was not dispelled, Cao Pi simply said the last whisper: "Okay! Even if she is an unmarried girl, you can find her... But I ask you, in Chang'an now, is there any noble who is willing to marry his daughter to our Cao family?"

"As long as father doesn't surrender, the heads of us brothers, our mother, and our aunt will still be pinned to our belts."

"Don't think that we are alive and well now, but who knows how long we can live?"

Cao Pi has now completely given up.

"Our lives are no longer under our own control."

"As long as father does something slightly out of line, we could all be in danger of losing our lives! Do you understand?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even the seemingly heartless "Yellow Beard" Cao Zhang looked melancholy.

Honestly.

They are quite content with their current situation.

In troubled times, we never show mercy to our enemies.

The emperor did not kill all the men, send their mothers into prostitution, or send their sisters into slavery. This was already a great blessing from heaven.

But even if the emperor did not forcibly detain them and allowed them to move freely in Chang'an, it did not mean that they could be as luxurious as normal people to consider major matters such as marriage between men and women!
When he thought of his current situation, Cao Zhi's expression became gloomy, and the beautiful figure in his eyes was shattered.

"Zihuan, why do you think my father is still unwilling to surrender to the emperor?"

"You know, my father's original ambition was to support the Han Dynasty!"

……

Compared with Cao Zhi, Cao Pi undoubtedly had a deeper understanding of politics.

Today's Cao Cao has already been controlled by the aristocratic families.

Even Cao Pi doubted whether his father could still fully control the political and military affairs of Xuzhou and Huainan after the great defeat at the Battle of Yingshui.

and……

Cao Pi also knew that his father was always proud in his heart.

Especially in the Battle of Yingshui, Cao Cao was defeated in a dramatic manner.

If Pang De and Pang Tong had not suddenly arrived from the rear, and if Chen Gong and Zhang Miao had not chosen to offer Chenliu, it would have been entirely possible for Cao Cao to block the imperial army out of the Central Plains on his own!
It’s not the fault of war!
Cao Pi speculated that if the person leading the troops in the Battle of Yingshui was not Liu Bei, but the emperor.

The way to defeat Cao Cao is not by coincidence, but by strength...

Who knows, maybe his father will really surrender to the emperor and won't put up a meaningless resistance like he is doing now.

Simply put, Cao Cao was still resentful in his heart, which made him choose to resist the court.

"But Dad! You can resist if you want! But don't kill us, your good sons and our mother!"

Cao Pi also felt that this was not a solution!
"The emperor's birthday will be in a few days."

"Our sister Cao Jie has a very good relationship with the Queen, so she will definitely invite her to attend... We can take this opportunity to sneak in and ask the Emperor to give us a chance to write a letter to our eldest brother, and then ask him to persuade our father to surrender!"

Cao Zhang nodded stupidly.

Anyway, whatever the second brother says is what it is, this is his consistent principle!

As for Cao Zhi, he naturally agreed with both hands!

Only by solving the problem of Cao Cao can he live like a normal person!
Only by living like a normal person can he have a chance to find the fairy sister whom he just caught a glimpse of!

"It's supposed to be this way! Our lifelong happiness depends on this girl!"...

Cao Jie wore a side-hanging bun, a symbol of a young girl, and wore an apricot-red long gown with a curved hem, which complemented the peach blossom on her face.

It's just that his expression isn't right. He looks at his three useless brothers with disgust, but finally he sighs.

"Alright, alright! Got it! I will report your words to the Queen first, but as for His Majesty, it has nothing to do with me! Got it?"

"Understand!"

Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi bowed down to their sister with pious expressions.

The lifeblood of the Cao family is now in Cao Ji's hands. How dare the three brothers show any disrespect to their own sister?

She waited anxiously for Cao Jie to come to the palace to ask the Queen for instructions, but Cao Jie did not return until noon the next day.

The three of them approached Cao Ji with great concern: "Sister! Why did you only come back now? Is it because of our matter that you stayed out all night?"

Cao Ji's eyes turned, and he was thinking about whether to scare his three brothers, but he couldn't help but burped, making the scene awkward...

Cao Zhang twitched his nose like a hound: "It smells like hot pot, braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, lamb skewers, and chestnut cake... No! It also smells like wine!"

Cao Ji's eyes widened in horror: "You can even smell this?"

Cao Pi gnashed his teeth and said, "We have waited in fear at home all night, and you tell me that you are eating and drinking in the palace?"

"Hiccup~"

Cao Jie burped again, clearly taking advantage of the situation and still acting cute—

"Your Majesty cooked for us personally. The two little princes, two little princesses, and the Grand Tutor's biological son Liu Wansheng are all here. Can I refuse?"

?

When the three brothers of the Cao family heard this, they felt even more jealous!
My sister was in the palace, just like the emperor's relatives, enjoying the banquet prepared by the emperor himself...

But they...were crying!

Cao Pi temporarily suppressed the urge to beat Cao Jie violently and continued to ask: "Have you told His Majesty about our affairs?"

"said!"

"What did your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty said... ahem!"

Cao Jie cleared his throat, apparently imitating the emperor's tone -

"Persuade Cao Cao to surrender? If a treacherous character like Cao Cao can be persuaded by your brothers, then Cao Cao is not your father anymore!"

"But considering that your brothers are reasonable, let them give it a try and report to Cao Cao that you are safe. Let Cao Cao know that you are safe now."

Cao Pi stared at Cao Jie: "No more?"

"Gone!"

Cao Jie touched his round belly and said, "Is there anything else? No, I'm going back to sleep!"

Cao Pi's face was gloomy at this moment.

He didn't expect that the emperor knew his father so well!
in fact……

Cao Pi wanted to write a letter to Cao Cao to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't really want Cao Cao to surrender.

What he really wanted to do was to let the emperor know that these descendants of the Cao family still supported the emperor and the Han Dynasty.

And through Cao Jie's retelling of the emperor's words, it was obvious that the emperor had already discovered their little thoughts.

This made Cao Pi both happy and scared.

Through this test, he confirmed that the emperor really had no intention of murdering them.

Too……

Now Xiahou Dun is still in Chang'an, and lives next door to Cao Pi and others.

If the emperor really wanted to kill all the members of the Cao family, how could he allow them to live so leisurely in Chang'an?

"There's no problem with the emperor. But as long as my father doesn't surrender, we will have to live in fear, unless..."

Cao Pi grabbed Cao Ji by the throat when he was about to leave.

"What are you sleeping for?"

"Have you completed your homework? Have you learned and behaved well?"

"Just go to sleep after eating, I'm not afraid of you getting fat to death!"

"If you continue like this, how can you marry Tian...how can you get married?"

"Zijian!"

Cao Zhi stepped out in response!

"Take her to study! Study for two hours!"

"it is good!"

"Ziwen!"

Cao Zhang came behind Cao Pi.

"When she finishes her studies, take her for a run! Run twenty laps! And don't let her eat at night! Her meals belong to you!"

After hearing this, Cao Zhang chuckled twice and decisively took on the job!
"you!!!"

Cao Ji never expected that his brother would be such a two-faced, cold-blooded and ruthless person!

"You will regret this! You will definitely regret it!!!"
