Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"Stop it, you are no match for Zijian!"

Cao Cao said sadly.

These words instantly angered Cao Pi.

"brush!"

Cao Pi drew the sword from his waist.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became depressing.

Under the gaze of everyone in the room.

Cao Cao slowly came to Cao Cao.

In front of Cao Cao, Cao Pi chopped with all his might.

In an instant, a corner of the desk in front of Cao Cao was chopped off.

"I will prove you wrong with my actions!"

Cao Pi said coldly.

After saying this, Cao Pi turned and left.

Just as Cao Cao was about to step forward, he was stopped by the guards around him.

"Sikong, what you just said is not what a father should say!"

At this moment, Sima Lang said lightly.

"Oh? You, someone who was expelled from the Sima family, are you qualified to talk about father-son affection?"

Cao Cao said sarcastically.

"You—, keep an eye on them!"

Sima Lang said coldly.

Immediately, Sima Lang quickened his pace and caught up with Cao Pi.

……

"How is it? Can you tell if Zihuan is being coerced?"

In the study, Cao Cao and Guo Jia turned their backs to the guards and whispered.

"Not yet, but I can guarantee one thing: compared to the Second Young Master, these guards listen to Sima Lang more!"

Guo Jia said.

"Humph! Zihuan's generals are all from the Sima family. If they don't listen to Sima Lang, who will they listen to?"

Cao Cao said dissatisfiedly.

Regarding Cao Pi's rebellion.

Although he was angry, he also appreciated it.

In his opinion, Cao Pi's behavior was like his own and he was very brave.

But he could not accept that Cao Pi was bewitched by Sima Lang.

How dare a person who can't even have absolute control over the military power rebel?

"Why did the Sima family choose to rebel? Could it be because Zijian killed Sima Yi? But Sima Fang wouldn't have sacrificed the entire Sima family for just one Sima Yi. Sima Fang must have known something..."

Cao Cao was thinking in his mind.

Suddenly, Cao Cao was stunned.

Because he suddenly thought of something.

That is--

When I was discussing the topic of "Three Horses Feeding Trough" with Cao Zhi.

A maid came in and added water to their teacups.

"Could it be that the news leaked out at that time?"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes quickly turned to a maid in the corner.

The sharp eyes are like steel knives.

The maid felt a stinging pain as if her flesh was being cut.

"thump!"

Under Cao Cao's gaze, the maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"It's really you!"

Seeing the maid acting like this.

Cao Cao understood everything in an instant.

At the same time, Cao Cao also understood.

Today's Cao Pi is nothing more than a puppet held up by the Sima family.

But Cao Pi, the puppet, didn't know that he was a puppet.

……

An hour later.

Sikong Mansion.

Chamber.

Cao Pi sat high on the main seat.

Looking at the indifferent faces of the people below.

In its lower position.

Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Zhong Yao, Jia Xu, Man Chong and other officials sat on the left side of the living room.

Cui Yan, Shen Rong, Tian Huo, Ju Zong and other Jizhou nobles sat on the right side of the living room.

Sima Lang stood next to Cao Pi.

After a long while, Sima Lang said:

"Everyone, the Prime Minister fell ill last night and is now bedridden. Because of the suddenness of the incident, the Prime Minister has specially recalled the Second Young Master and ordered him to temporarily take over the position of Prime Minister and manage all matters. What do you think?"

Sima Lang said this.

There was an uproar in the hall.

But what surprised Cao Pi and Sima Lang was.

These people only showed a brief look of surprise and then remained silent.

This behavior undoubtedly made Cao Pi furious.

Cao Pi glanced at Sima Lang.

Sima Lang understood.

A big wave of his hand.

Immediately, two guards walked out of the door.

He dragged a small noble family head who was near the door and walked out.

A moment later, a strong smell of blood came from outside the door.

"Gudong!"

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Everyone, the Prime Minister fell ill last night and is now bedridden. Because of the suddenness of the incident, the Prime Minister has specially recalled the Second Young Master and ordered him to temporarily take over the position of Prime Minister and manage all matters. What do you think?"

Sima Lang repeated what he had just said.

But to his disappointment, everyone in the hall remained indifferent.

Sima Lang saw this.

He also ordered the guards to drag out a fourth-rank official who was sitting at the door.

For a moment, people were in panic!

"Everyone, Sikong last night..."

"Boda!"

Sima Lang was about to continue, but was stopped by Cao Pi.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Cao Pi walked down from his seat.

Slowly walked in front of a figure.

The owner of this figure was none other than Cui Yan, the head of the Qinghe Cui family.

Among everyone in the hall, he has the best relationship with Cao Zhi.

"Cui Beijia, what do you think of me temporarily taking the position of Sikong?"

Cao Pi sneered.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone in the hall quickly fell on Cui Yan.

No one wanted to talk before.

Because everyone is not optimistic about Cao Pi.

Everyone knew that Cao Pi's defeat was only a matter of time.

Therefore, no one was willing to surrender to Cao Pi.

After all, as long as you don't surrender.

Then you will be the only one who dies.

But if I surrender.

When Cao Cao later settled accounts, the entire family was killed.

Therefore, although everyone was afraid, no one dared to be the first one.

At this moment, Cao Pi called out Cui Yan.

Everyone also wants to know what Cui Yan will choose.

After feeling everyone's gaze, Cui Yan couldn't help but groan in his heart.

"Say!"

Cao Pi urged.

"Hehe... Second Young Master is the eldest son of Sikong. Since Sikong is seriously ill, it is only right that Second Young Master should be in charge of everything. I, Cui Yan, absolutely support Second Young Master taking over the position of Sikong temporarily!"

Cui Yan smiled.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an instant commotion.

After a moment, someone immediately echoed.

"The Second Young Master is the eldest son of Sikong. I fully support the Second Young Master taking over as Sikong!"

"I agree too. The Second Young Master is a world-class scholar in both literary and martial virtues. I have no objection to him temporarily taking the position of Sikong!"

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

"Me too!"

……

Voices of agreement continued to emanate from the hall.

Sima Lang was overjoyed when he saw this.

As for Cao Pi, he was very disappointed at this moment.

The Cui family was the head of the Jizhou gentry, and the Cui family was the maternal family of Cao Zhi's wife.

Cao Pi wished he could kill them all!

But Cao Pi also knew.

If the nobles were to be slaughtered rashly, they would be forced to unite against him.

It was for this reason that Cao Pi wanted to find a legitimate reason to execute Cui Yan.

But Cao Pi didn't expect it.

Cui Yan, Cao Zhi's future father-in-law, turned out to be such a coward.

He hated, he hated Cui Yan for being a spineless person!

But now Cui Yan is taking the lead.

Things will be much easier later on.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi could only temporarily suppress the idea of ​​killing Cui Yan.

"Haha, since Cui Biejia and everyone else have said so, then I will be disrespectful to refuse!"

Cao Pi sneered.

As he spoke, Cao Pi shared many of his thoughts with everyone.

To sum it up in four words - Shunchang will be destroyed!

With Cui Yan taking the lead.

Those who were still holding on before.

I no longer have the backbone I just had.

They agreed to whatever Cao Pi said.

……

In the hall.

Cui Yan quietly wiped the sweat from his temples.

He turned a deaf ear to the contemptuous looks that people cast at him from time to time.

At the same time, he cast a grateful look at the figure diagonally opposite him.

Not long ago, Cao Pi met Jia Xu at the gate of Sikong Mansion.

Jia Xu whispered to Cui Yan.

If Cao Pi wants him to express his opinion later.

No matter what Cao Pi says, I must support him!

Originally Cui Yan didn't understand.

Why did Jia Xu say that?

Now, Cui Yan finally understood.

As early as that time.

Jia Xu saw through Cao Pi's plan.
