Inside Cao Zhi's mansion.
Cao Zhi, the fourth son of Cao Cao, the fourth son of Cao Cao, the fourth son of Cao Cao who was brimming with talent and had a cold civil position, was now looking at Cao Pi like a beast.
It was this person in front of him who cut off his path to the throne. He was the one who induced Cao Zhi to get drunk. He was also the one who instigated Cao Zhi to ride the royal carriage when Cao Cao was away. He was also the one who instigated Cao Zhi to ride the royal carriage when Cao Cao was away. He opened the Sima Gate of the royal palace without permission and galloped on the forbidden road that only the emperor could walk on during ceremonies. This made Cao Cao furious and executed the official in charge of the royal carriage. Since then, he increased the restrictions on the vassals. Because of this, Cao Zhi gradually lost Cao Cao's trust and favor.
Later on, Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu. This caused Cao Zhi to bid farewell to the high-spirited stage of his life and sink into a deep depression and sorrow that he could not extricate himself from.
It could be said that Cao Pi destroyed Cao Zhi's life.
"What are you doing here?" Cao Zhi looked at Cao Pi in an unfriendly manner.
"Fourth brother, as your second brother, can't I come to see my younger brother?" Cao Pi said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't cry crocodile tears!" Cao Zhi always looked at Cao Pi with disdain. "You came to see if I'm still alive. Thanks to your second brother, I'm fine!" Cao Zhi sneered at Cao Pi.
"Fourth brother, why do you say that?" Cao Zhi was just a defeated opponent of Cao Pi. Looking at Cao Zhi, Cao Pi felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Cao Pi, what's the point of pretending at this time?" Cao Zhi said coldly. "Do you still have that old wine? Yang Xiu is very smart. Do you still want to pass it down? "
"Ah, fourth brother, you have a deep misunderstanding of me!"
"Cao Pi, don't be so proud. I'm gone, but father's position may not be yours!" Cao Zhi said coldly. That's why Cao Pi wanted to kill Cao Zhi after he succeeded the throne.
Because his mouth was too poisonous. It was fine if he just said it, but he also wrote a poem. Wasn't he looking for trouble?
Originally, Cao Pi was not a magnanimous person. That was why Cao Laoer stole Luo Shen. If it wasn't for Cao Zhi's poem, then Cao Zhi would have already died.
"Hehe!" Although Cao Pi was laughing, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Cao Pi, Cao Chong is younger than you. You can't compare with me in terms of talent. You can't compare with Cao Zhang in terms of martial arts. Now, you can't even compare with Cao Chong in terms of martial arts. I'd like to see how you, Cao Pi, can compete with Cao Chong. I heard that father has already appointed Cao Chong to the army! Cao Pi, Cao Pi, after so many years, have you ever held military power? Haha, today is your tomorrow! "Cao Zhi's mouth was incomparably vicious.
Even someone like Cao Pi couldn't hold himself back.
"Since Fourth Brother praises Little Brother Chong so much, then Second Brother will also call Little Brother Chong to your residence. The three of us can drink and chat merrily!" Cao Pi said coldly.
"Cao Chong is back?" Cao Zhi was stunned. "Has he gone mad?"
Right now, Xu Du was under Cao Pi's control. Cao Chong wasn't working under his father, so why did he come back?
"He's not mad. Madam Huan is sick. As a filial son, do you think Little Brother Chong should come back?" Cao Pi explained to Cao Zhi.
"No wonder!" Cao Zhi looked at Cao Pi with ridicule. "This has always been your style! Scheming and crafty, it's hard for you to achieve great things! "
This time, Cao Pi really couldn't hold himself back.
"Haha, haha!" Cao Pi laughed and looked at Cao Zhi. "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, you're still the same as before! What is scheming and crafty? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Only the loser can be called scheming and crafty. And I, Cao Pi, am the one who will sit in that position! "
"Haha, you? You? "Cao Zhi suddenly laughed." My good Second Brother, don't you know about the matter in Liaodong? "
"Liaodong? How did you know? " Cao Pi suddenly became alert. He did receive a letter from Liaodong, but he didn't spread the news.
"If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place!" Cao Zhi sneered. "If Father knows about this, do you think you can still hold on to that position?"
"What do you mean?"
"That's exactly what it means! I didn't expect that you, Cao Pi, would have such a day. When Father comes back, I'll drink and chat with my good Second Brother. Men, send the guests out! "Cao Zhi said to his subordinates.
"No need!" Cao Pi said coldly. "Even if Father comes back, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him!"
"En?" Cao Zhi was stunned.
Cao Pi's subordinates followed Cao Pi's gaze and stepped forward. Cao Chong's subordinates wanted to stop them, but they were directly killed by Cao Pi's subordinates.
"How dare you!" Cao Chong was furious. He didn't expect Cao Pi to not give him face and kill people in his mansion.
"Haha, why wouldn't I dare? Just a servant? "
"You, you, you!"
"Not to mention a servant, I even dare to kill you!" Cao Pi said coldly.
"You're not afraid of Father?" Cao Zhi questioned Cao Pi.
"I'm afraid!" Cao Pi nodded.
"Then you still dare to do this!"
"It's because I'm afraid of Father that I have to do this. You also said that the matter in Liaodong has been exposed. I can't do anything to Father. Even if Father is merciful, I'm afraid I'll end up like you! So I've decided to change my mind! "Cao Pi seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to Cao Zhi.
"Father can be disappointed in me, remove me from my position, and deprive me of my inheritance. It's all because Father doesn't only have one son. Just like you, Cao Zhi, if you're useless, there's still me, Cao Pi. If I'm useless, there's still Cao Chong. In this case, Father has no choice. If he has no choice, then I'm the only one left. If he doesn't leave his great cause to me, who else will he leave it to? "Cao Pi laughed crazily.
"Madman, madman!" Cao Zhi was not stupid. He naturally understood Cao Pi's thoughts. This Cao Pi, he, he actually wanted to kill him.
Cao Zhi didn't want to accompany Cao Pi's madness. "Cao Pi, if you kill me, even if Father lets you go, he won't be able to explain it to the world!" How could a person who killed all his brothers obtain the world?
"Fourth brother, who said I killed you? I've already invited Brother Chong in your name. It was you who drank with Brother Chong. When you two were drunk, you had a disagreement, so you fought. Brother Chong accidentally killed you and then committed suicide because of self-blame! What a good ending! "Cao Pi explained to Cao Zhi with a smile.
Cao Zhi's whole body turned cold. Listening to Cao Pi's words, he felt like he was in a wine cellar.
"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" Cao Zhi said and wanted to escape.
"Why waste your energy?" Cao Pi shook his head and said. He didn't chase after Cao Zhi. Soon, Cao Zhi was forced to return. The entire Cao Zhi's residence was already guarded by Cao Pi's troops.
Cao Zhi saw that he couldn't escape and immediately knelt at Cao Pi's feet. "Second brother, it's all my fault. I was blind. I shouldn't have fought for that position with you. Second brother, I beg you to let me go. Just treat me as a fart and let me go. Second brother, I beg you!" Cao Zhi was really a hero. He knew when to yield and when to stand tall.
"Let you go?" Cao Pi lowered his body and gently touched Cao Chong's face. He smiled at Cao Zhi and said, "Let you go? Who will let your second brother go?"
Cao Pi meant that he wouldn't let Cao Zhi go.
"Second brother, you can't do this. You can't do this!" Cao Zhi panicked and suddenly took out a dagger from his bosom.
"Second young master, be careful!" Someone shouted.
It turned out that Cao Zhi had already made a desperate bet. If he killed Cao Pi, he might still have a chance to survive. If he let Cao Pi go, then he, Cao Zhi, would die.
"Puff!" Fortunately, his subordinates reminded him. Otherwise, Cao Zhi would've lost Great Emperor Cao Pi. Even so, the dagger still pierced Cao Pi's arm. Blood splashed out as Cao Pi groaned.
"You're courting death!" Cao Pi directly stabbed Cao Zhi with the dagger and directly pierced Cao Zhi's roaring dragon.
Even so, Cao Pi did not let go of Cao Zhi's corpse. He kept stabbing Cao Zhi's head with the dagger in his hand, stabbing it in, pulling it out, and stabbing it in again. For a moment, red blood and white brain matter mixed together.
"Second young master, second young master!" Fortunately, someone pulled Cao Pi and calmed him down.
Cao Pi panted heavily, while Cao Zhi beside him had completely turned into a smashed corpse.
"Get rid of him for me!" Cao Pi took a white handkerchief from his subordinates and wiped the blood on his body.
"Bang!" “
Cao Zhi had already been killed. Next was Cao Chong. As long as Cao Chong was killed, then there would be no one blocking Cao Pi's path. Then, the great undertaking left by his father would be his.
The injury on Cao Pi's arm still needed to be treated. This feeling of pain made Cao Pi even more angry with Cao Zhi.
"Come, send Cao Zhi's wives and concubines to my mansion!" Cao Pi said fiercely.
"Yes!"
Cao Zhi's corpse was quickly dealt with. The entire Cao Zhi's mansion was also cleaned up, waiting for Young Master Cao Chong to leave.
However, Cao Pi waited for a long time and still didn't see Cao Chong.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Come!" Cao Pi shouted to his subordinates.
"Second young master, what are your orders?"
"I told you to go and invite the young master. Why hasn't he come yet?" Cao Pi frowned and asked.
"Reporting to second young master, our people have already gone!" The subordinate looked at Cao Pi and replied.
"Then why hasn't he come yet? Quickly come with me and ask! "Cao Pi had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Yes!"
After the subordinate left, he quickly came back. Young master Cao Chong had already set off from his mansion.
"Reporting, not good, not good, second young master, second young master, Madam Huan, Madam Huan, she, she …" The informant was panting heavily.
"What happened to her?" “
"She, he hanged himself!"
"Second young master, according to someone just now, young master's carriage left Xudu City!"
"What!" Cao Pi sat down on the stool in a panic.
