"I have been waiting for you for a long time, why are you here now?" Cao Cao asked with displeasure.

"The child had already fallen asleep when he received the news. He rushed again, delaying his time and making his father wait for a long time."

Cao Cao's face darkened, "What you mean is that I was urging you to hurry, is it because I was impatient?"

Cao Zhi heard that his father always said that it was you and me, not as he said before, "What is the father and what is the case with Zhier". He has become much unfamiliar with his words. In addition, his father's tone is stern, which makes Cao Zhi feel even more miserable. He can no longer hold it back and shed tears and said, "The child is abandoned, why does his father still have to force each other?"

Cao Cao felt aroused by the feeling of licking his baby. This was once his favorite son. He had given him countless promises, but in the end he was useless. Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart was filled with guilt for his son.

However, thinking of the powerful force behind Cao Zhi, thinking of the Pizhi dispute that will inevitably arise in the future, which will cause civil strife in Wei and will eventually become the root of the destruction of Wei, Cao Cao's heart that had just softened became harder again.

Although he would not kill his son and completely cut off future troubles, he would not let it go. It was imperative to clean up the Cao Zhi group. Cao Cao knew very well that the huge future troubles would be brought about by the Zhi Pi dispute.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao asked coldly: "This time I will make your elder brother the heir, are you dissatisfied?"

"The boy dares not"

"Hmph, you don't dare, but those who support you dare. I want to know how many people support you. I need a detailed list."

Cao Zhi trembled all over. He finally understood why his father came to him at night, not to comfort him, but to kill all those who supported him. Cao Zhi felt sad, but at the same time it also aroused his desire to resist.

"There is no such list of children, and there is no so-called supporter. If you have to say that there are any followers, then the followers are Yang Xiu and Cui Yan."

Before Cao Zhi finished speaking, Cao Cao stood up and slapped Cao Zhi to the ground. Cao Cao was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at him and cursed: "You are talking to your father. Are you going to piss me to death?"

At this time, Cao Xian ran in from outside the door and held his shaking father. "Dad to calm down." She was anxious and turned around and shouted to Cao Zhi: "Brother, please apologize to your father."

"If a child is unfilial, he deserves to die." Cao Zhi knelt on the ground and cried loudly, all his grievances and grief were vented at this moment.

Cao Cao felt that the darkness in front of him was blowing. He held his daughter and sat down weakly. After a while, he gradually recovered. Looking at the son who was crying and mourning, Cao Cao's heart softened again. It might be a bit too much for him to be so hard. Let's take a long-term plan and slowly eliminate the important officials who supported Zhier.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't force you anymore for my father. Go and leave Yedu for a while tomorrow and live in Xuchang for a few months. Without my father's permission, you are not allowed to come back."

Cao Zhi held back his sad voice, kowtowed heavily, stood up and left slowly. He knew that it would be useless to explain, and his father was determined to exile himself.

Sadness, anger, dissatisfaction, loss, all kinds of emotions poured into his heart. He almost whistled to the sky, but when he saw the guards on both sides staring at him, Cao Zhi finally resisted his emotions. He bit his lips tightly and quickly left the Tongque Palace.

In the room, Cao Xian felt very sad. She never expected that this would be the result. Not only did her father not appease his brother, he forced him to hand over the list of supporters, warned him not to cause trouble, and finally exiled his brother to Xuchang. Could this be the struggle of the emperor? In the face of interests, there is no family affection, only a ruthless struggle for power.

Cao Cao also felt his daughter's low mood. He patted his daughter's hand gently and said softly: "It's not what you think. My cold face today is just to protect their brotherly feelings in the future. There is no tolerance for two tigers. When I am here, their brothers may not turn against each other, but once I am gone, I am very worried that they will be tragic."

Cao Xian nodded silently. She understood her father's painstaking efforts. Although it was a bit difficult to accept, it was the same. Once the father unfortunately left, even if the two brothers could tolerate each other, their subordinates, especially those who supported me, how could they give up?

"Father, you are right, and my daughter supports your approach"

Cao Cao smiled with relief, held his daughter's hand and said, "You are not an ordinary daughter. You are responsible for the safety of our Cao family. Once Liu Jing seizes the world, whether our Cao family can survive this disaster is entirely up to you."

Cao Xian bit his lips lightly without saying a word. Cao Cao smiled and said, "Although Liu Jing is my enemy, in my heart, he has always been the best young man. As early as more than ten years ago, when I heard this name in Runan for the first time, I knew he was extraordinary. He did not disappoint me. He has come step by step to this day. I also believe that he will be your good husband."

Cao Cao said something, but Cao Xian burst into tears. She cried in a low voice: "As long as my father is healthy and long, as long as my brothers can be sympathetic, even if my marriage is a little unfortunate, I will be willing."

"You're such a stupid boy"

Cao Cao smiled and shook his head. He pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "What I worry most is your elder brother's ambition. Although I will tell him again that he will not be allowed to be king, let alone abolish the Han emperor, I am worried that he will not be able to do it. So as a father, he will give you a gold medal, representing my highest authority. Once your brother shows his ambition to be king and depose the emperor, you must stop him in time."

Cao Xian whispered: "I'm afraid my daughter can't bear the heavy trust of her father."

"You can do it, for the sake of the perpetuity of Cao's family, you must do it."

After saying that, Cao Cao took out a jade box from the drawer and opened it. There was a brilliant gold medal inside. He handed the gold medal and the jade box to his daughter, "It's this gold medal. If you think of me as if you are alive, please hold it."

"Father, let me give it to my daughter in the future."

"No, take it now, hold it."

The father's firm attitude forced Cao Xian to take over the jade box. At the same time, a heavy responsibility was pressed on her young heart. Cao Cao nodded with a smile, "Go and want to rest for his father."

Cao Xian no longer disturbed his father's rest and slowly retreated. Cao Cao closed his eyes, as if an old monk was sitting still, and fell into long-term contemplation.

Returning from Tongque Palace to his mansion, Cao Zhi ordered his followers and wives and concubines to pack up his clothes. Although he was so worried and angry, he still barely maintained his rationality. He knew that his father let him go to Xuchang and no longer forced him to hand over the list. In fact, he was tolerant of himself. If he was still ungrateful, what awaited him would be a more severe punishment.

Back in the study, Cao Zhi found a bamboo basket and began to clean up his belongings casually. But in just a moment, he couldn't clean up. He was so depressed that he wanted to yell. He sat at the table and rubbed his penis in pain.

At this moment, Cao Zhi's wife Cui quickly walked into the study with a bowl of ginseng tea. Cui was Cui Yan's niece, which was also the main reason why the Cui family firmly supported Cao Zhi. However, since the Yang Cui case broke out half a year ago, Yang Xiu and Cui Yan were sentenced to death, Cui was in a panic.

According to convention, his uncle Cui Yan was sentenced to death, and Duke Wei would not allow this marriage to exist again. However, Duke Wei was distracted by the Han-Hungary War and could not take care of the Cui family for a while. As the Han-Hungary War ended, the Cui family began to be worried again.

She put the tea bowl at her husband's desk and said softly: "Actually, it's good to go to Xuchang. You can avoid a lot of gossip and don't have to look at other people's faces. Her husband loves it so much and can do what he likes freely. More importantly, we won't be separated."

Cao Zhi understood his wife's concerns, held her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, since I won't let me die, then don't want me to divorce my wife. Even if he is a father, we will never separate."

Cui nodded and smiled, "Husband, go and rest, I'll clean up for you in the study."

"No need, go and take care of the children. There are not many things here. I can clean it up by myself. Moreover, the house here still belongs to us. I will bring some things for use first and then clean up the rest later."

Cui was happy and asked her husband to drink ginseng tea again, and then he took the empty bowl. Cao Zhi sighed and had to force himself to clean up his necessary things and prepare to leave Yedu before noon tomorrow.

Just as Cao Zhi was packing his things and preparing to leave Yedu, Yang Tian, ​​the chief censor, hurried to Cao Pi's study under the guidance of a guard. The guard reported at the door: "You are here, Yang Zhongcheng is here."

"Please come in" Cao Pi's voice came from the room. Although his voice seemed a little tired, he could still hear an uncontrollable excitement.

Yang Tian smiled knowingly and quickly walked into the study. In the study, Cao Pi was sitting at the table reviewing the certificates from all over the place. Seeing Yang Tian come in, he put down his smile and asked, "Is there any news about the Tongque Palace?"

There are two censors, one is Chen Qun, who is responsible for supervising the Yedu officials, and the other is Yang Tian, ​​who is responsible for supervising the local officials. He has eight censors under him, who have been inspecting various places for many years. Yang Tian is also Cao Pi's confidant, so his other secret responsibility is to collect intelligence for Cao Pi and monitor political enemies.

Yang Tian bowed forward and said with a flattering smile: "It was indeed not expected that Mr. Wei called Mr. Zhi away, not to appease him, but to force him to hand over the list of supporters."

Cao Pi was excited and asked quickly: "Has he handed it?"

Yang Tian shook his head, "He firmly refused to admit that he had any supporters. Seeing that Mr. Wei was angry, he exiled him to Xuchang and set off tomorrow."

The smile on Cao Pi's face quickly disappeared, and he seemed a little unhappy. His father obviously compromised and no longer forced his brother to hand over the list, but just sent him out of Beijing. But this did not solve any problem. The forces supporting him still existed, and they would still interact secretly.

Yang Tian understood Cao Pi's concern and smiled and said, "Actually, I think Duke Wei can't catch evidence for the time being. We can find evidence for Duke Wei. As long as we catch the evidence that Duke Zhi still secretly interacts with important officials in the court, I believe Duke Wei will not spare any more."

"you're right"

Cao Pi nodded with praise, he walked a few steps behind his hands, and then turned around and said, "There are many ministers who support me, but we must monitor the most important people, one is the Shangshu Ling Zhong Yao, and the other is the Shizhong Wang Jie. We must send someone to monitor them."

"There will be done immediately. In addition, Sikong Cui Lin is Zhigong's father-in-law, should he also be monitored?"

"There is no need for Cui Lin. It is normal for father-in-law and son-in-law to have a relationship. There is no evidence. The key is that you cannot make a big deal. You have to collect information secretly. Do you understand?"

Yang Tian gave a deep gift, "I understand the humble position"
