At the same time, in Xuchang City.
The Sima family.
Sima Yi was leisurely lying on a recliner, enjoying the afternoon sun with his eyes closed.
Sima Zhao frowned and looked at Sima Shi, who also had an ugly expression.
The two brothers had been standing there for a while, but Sima Yi didn't seem to notice. He was humming a tune and taking a nap.
In the end, the more impatient Sima Zhao spoke first.
"Father, that Bai Feng is now the governor of Hanzhong. He is in charge of everything in Hanzhong. Do you know about this?"
Sima Yi didn't even lift his eyelids as he faintly said,
"Lord Bai is unparalleled. He even brought immortal food that can change the world. How could I not know about this?"
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Sima Zhao was about to die from anxiety.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Since Father knows, why didn't you do anything?"
"That Bai Feng is now at the peak of his power. It is not impossible for him to be made a duke in the future!"
"He is the representative of the poor. If he gains power, it will be a devastating blow to our landowning households!"
"In the future, he will definitely be a great threat to our Sima family!"
When Sima Yi heard this, his face remained calm as he said indifferently,
He said calmly, "How can you be so sure that he will be made a duke in the future?"
Sima Zhao was taken aback when he heard this.
Sima Shi, who was rather calm, narrowed his eyes and said,
"Father, you mean that although Bai Feng has gained power, it is only temporary?"
"I have been thinking about this for the past few days."
"The Wei Emperor is a suspicious person. Now that Bai Feng's reputation is rising, his status might even surpass the Wei Emperor's."
"If I were King Wei, I would definitely not sit idly by and do nothing. I would definitely do something."
"If it affects the throne, I would kill him without hesitation."
"Even if he has done a lot for the Wei Emperor, he is not a Cao."
Sima Zhao was stunned at Sima Shi's words. He narrowed his eyes and thought seriously.
After that, Sima Zhao laughed and said:
"I see, I see!"
"If that's the case, it's not impossible!"
"That Bai Feng is insufferably arrogant. It's time for him to suffer!"
Sima Zhao laughed madly after he finished speaking.
But at this moment, the smug Sima Zhao was hit on the head by a paper fan.
"Ouch ouch ouch!"
Sima Zhao was flustered and exasperated as he looked ahead.
However, the person who hit him was none other than Sima Yi.
At this moment, Sima Yi had already come down from his armchair and stood with his hands behind his back, coldly looking at Sima Zhao and Sima Shi.
"Father, is there something wrong with what I said?"
Sima Shi was relatively calm. Seeing Sima Yi's expression, he had already guessed most of the situation and asked in a deep voice.
Sima Yi stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly.
"You're right, but not completely right."
"Both of you have neglected one person."
Sima Shi could not help but narrow his eyes when he heard this.
"I'd like to hear the details!"
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and continued.
"Cao Wei Emperor's daughter, Cao Jie."
"Cao Jie?"
Hearing this name, the two of them were a little confused.
Sima Yi continued.
"Have both of you forgotten? A year ago, Wei Emperor had the thought of betrothing Cao Jie to Bai Feng.
"However, due to various reasons, this matter was delayed and never held.
"However, this does not mean that there is no possibility between the two of them.
"According to my investigations, Cao Jie and Bai Feng have an extremely close relationship. Back then, when Bai Feng left for Xiliang, Cao Jie even personally went to send him off.
"Although Wei Emperor has no intention of conquering the south, the provinces and commanderies of the Great Wei are currently at peace.
"That means that the Sun Liu Army does not dare to take the initiative to attack the Great Wei.
"Right now, it is a time of peace and there are no wars. Are you certain that Bai Feng will not fulfill the betrothal agreement that Wei Emperor made with Cao Jie during this period of time?"
Sima Zhao and Sima Shi glanced at each other when they heard Sima Yi's words.
Cao Jie …
The two of them had indeed forgotten about this existence.
Although Cao Jie was Cao Cao's daughter, she rarely appeared in public.
Everyone knew that Cao Cao's children were just Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, the deceased Cao Ang, and the young Cao Chong.
As for Cao Zhang, he was a general and could not possibly be conferred a title, let alone a biological one.
With Sima Yi's reminder, the two of them finally remembered Cao Jie.
Sima Shi frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Cao Jie … Cao Jie …"
"If Cao Jie really marries Bai Feng, that means that Bai Feng will definitely marry into the family and become the son-in-law of the commandant.
"If that's the case, then Bai Feng will become a member of the Cao Clan!
"If that's the case …"
Before Sima Shi could finish, Sima Yi interrupted.
"Bai Feng will completely become a member of the Cao Clan, and Wei Emperor will not suspect Bai Feng."
"Furthermore, take a look. Cao Pi is not favored, Cao Chong is too young and suffers from a chronic illness, and Cao Zhi committed the heinous crime of barging into the White Horse Sect at night."
"Compared to Bai Feng, none of these young masters are qualified."
Sima Shi immediately exclaimed.
"Could it be that Bai Feng is very likely to become the Crown Prince?!"
Sima Yi glared at Sima Shi.
"Shi'er, you have always been calm, why are you so rash today? Why are you like Zhao'er? "
Sima Shi hurriedly cupped his hands and admitted his mistake, while Sima Zhao could only laugh dryly.
He could only take it as a compliment.
Sima Yi said coldly.
"This is only father's guess."
"As for how it will develop in the future, it will depend on what Wei Emperor thinks."
Sima Shi shook his head heavily.
"Father, I don't think this will happen."
"Even if Bai Feng marries into the family, his surname is still Bai, not Cao."
"We all know Wei Emperor's character, but no matter how careless he is, he will definitely not make a mistake in this matter."
"Isn't this changing the name of Cao Wei to Bai Wei?"
"Furthermore, if Bai Feng really becomes the Crown Prince and inherits the throne or the throne, won't he become an even greater enemy of the Sima Clan?"
"Father is supporting Cao Pi now!"
Sima Yi shook his head.
"Wrong, completely wrong."
"The two of you shouldn't always look at the surface!"
"If Wei Emperor really intends to pass the throne to Bai Feng, it will be a good thing for the Sima Clan."
"A good thing? Father, what makes you think so? "
Sima Zhao could not help but ask anxiously.
Sima Yi continued.
"If that is the case, the Sima Clan will immediately sever all ties with Cao Pi and become a vassal of the Xun Clan."
Sima Shi was stunned.
"The Xun Clan?"
He had never imagined that his father would actually choose to do this!
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes.
