The night gradually rose, the jade plate shed silver light, it was getting late, and the family banquet was finally over.

Wei Zhongdao looked at Cao Zhi who still had a look of reluctance on his face and knew that he was thinking about Cao Ang's concubine Zhen Mi. He secretly smiled in his heart. This Cao Zhi's romantic nature was very similar to that of Cao Cao. He was definitely his biological son and there was no need for it at all.

verify.

Cao Cao only left Wei Zhongdao behind and went to the study together, ignoring everyone's different expressions.

There were several oil lamps hanging on the wall of the study room. The lights were dim and looked a bit mysterious. Cao Cao and Wei Zhongdao were sitting across from each other. Cao Cao's face showed some inner emotions, and his face looked a bit vague.

After thinking about it, he looked at Wei Zhongdao and asked his old friend for his opinion.

"What do you think of my useless sons?"

Wei Zhongdao was playing with the tea cup in his hand. He glanced sideways at Cao Cao after hearing this, and saw that his expression was solemn. As a parent, he cared very much for his children. He wanted to know Wei Zhongdao's true evaluation of several people, but he didn't want to let his inner feelings

Emotions influence rational judgment.

Wei Zhongdao gently put down the tea cup, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night, the silver light falling inside the window and falling on his body, making him covered with a layer of light, making him handsome and outstanding.

.

Wei Zhongdao is now in his forties, but it seems that time has been particularly fond of him. He still looks about thirty, with a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, clear features, and a sense of maturity that is different from his appearance. Even though he is very

The narcissistic Cao Cao also had to admit that Wei Zhongdao was handsome, comparable to Pan An and Song Yu. Many daughters of officials and aristocratic families in Xu Du had a deep affection for him, and they did not even mind becoming Wei Zhongdao's concubine.

It's a pity that Wei Zhongdao didn't understand the style and had no color in his life. He only wanted to stay with Cai Yan and refused all ambiguities and marriages. Cao Cao even secretly lamented that Wei Zhongdao wasted his wealth.

Wei Zhongdao was bathed in the moonlight, handsome and sacred. His bright eyes looked at the eager Cao Cao, he pondered for a moment, and then he spoke.

"Cao Zijian has a dissolute temperament and acts arbitrarily. He doesn't have much scheming, and he covets his brother's concubine. He doesn't behave like a master!"

Wei Zhongdao's words were extremely rude, and they were equivalent to his final judgment on Cao Zhi. He would never have the opportunity to covet the position of Prince Wei's son in the future.

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. Although he saw Cao Zhi's triumphant scene, he did not notice Cao Zhi's obsession with Zhen Mi. When Wei Zhongdao said this, he immediately sentenced Cao Zhi to death in his heart.

"Who does that traitor like?"

Cao Cao frowned, forming a king-shaped wrinkle. With a bit of coldness in his eyes, he looked at Wei Zhongdao and asked in a deep voice.

"Zhen Mi, the concubine of Mr. Zixiu, is the woman who has the fate of being a mother in the world!"

Cao Cao understood clearly after hearing this. He originally wanted to take Zhen Mi as his concubine, but Wei Zhongdao suggested and gave her to Cao Ang. Only two people knew about Zhen Mi's fate. Even Cao Ang didn't know much about it, but he just knew it.

Cao Cao valued Zhen Mi very much, so he loved her very much.

"That bastard, do you know Zhen Mi's destiny?"

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and even Cao Zhi, as his own son, found it difficult not to let him think too much, with a somewhat cold look on his face.

Wei Zhongdao was stunned for a moment, smiled, waved his hand, walked to Cao Cao's side, shook his head and said.

"You're overthinking it. That kid is just looking for sex, and he doesn't have any scheming intentions!"

Cao Cao's expression softened a little and he let out a breath. He was less wary of Cao Zhi and felt a little sad. Only then did he truly feel what it was like to be in a cold place at a high place and to be isolated and isolated.

Cao Cao's expression became a little more lonely, and his eyes became a little warmer only when he looked at Wei Zhongdao. There was at least one person close to him who could get close to him. The two of them were honest with each other and worked together to achieve this.

Cao Wei's current momentum.

Cao Cao knew that for so many years, part of the reason why Wei Zhongdao was unwilling to take a concubine was to reassure him. As long as he had no children, Cao Cao would naturally not be afraid, and the two would be close.

Cao Cao sighed, feeling guilty for Wei Zhongdao in his heart. He pondered for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Zhongdao, you'd better take a concubine so that you won't be ashamed of your ancestors a hundred years later!"

Wei Zhongdao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Cao Cao would actually encourage him to take concubines and have children. His heart warmed slightly, and he slowly shook his head and said to Cao Cao.

"No need for this!"

Wei Zhongdao did not want to get entangled in this matter and continued to speak to Cao Cao.

"Young Master Zihuan is the best choice for the scheming city government. He is profound and forbearing, bold and fierce, and has a majestic appearance!"

When Cao Cao listened to Wei Zhongdao's evaluation of Cao Pi, Cao Pi's previous performance flashed through his eyes, and he nodded in agreement.

"Indeed!"

There was a bit of displeasure on Wei Zhongdao's eyebrows, he sat opposite Cao Cao and said coldly.

"It's a pity that the loss was so violent!"

"If there is no Zixiu, you can establish Zihuan!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao understood what Wei Zhongdao meant. He still recognized Cao Ang and was very unhappy with Cao Pi.

"If Mr. Zihuan becomes the heir, I am afraid that the brothers will fight against each other in the future, and Mr. Zixiu and others will not escape death!"

Cao Cao's body shook violently, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wei Zhongdao in shock. Cao Pi's ferocious temperament at the banquet emerged in his mind. His pupils shrank suddenly, he stood up, paced back and forth in the study, and finally

He stopped with a complicated expression, looked at Wei Zhongdao, and asked.

"I want to establish my son as the heir apparent, but I don't know what Zhongdao wants."

Wei Zhongdao smiled, stood up and walked out of the study, nodded slightly, and said as he walked.

"Since King Wei has made up his mind, Zhongdao will naturally support him!"

"It's getting late, I should go back home!"

Cao Cao's eyes were full of determination as he watched the figure walking into the night and gradually disappearing before his eyes, and then he turned around and returned to his bedroom.

The next day, Cao Cao gathered the civil and military forces and announced on the spot that his eldest son, Cao Ang, would be the heir apparent. Cao Pi was so angry that he gritted his teeth on the spot. Even Cao Zhi looked devastated and lamented, obviously being severely hit.

Of course, Cao Pi was definitely not willing to do this, and had many calculations in his mind. These were all normal, and Cao Cao didn't worry about it. If Cao Ang couldn't suppress Cao Pi and others, he would naturally not be qualified to be the heir to the throne of Wei.

In the winter of October, when the palace of the King of Wei in Xudu was being expanded, Cao Cao sent people to collect exotic flowers and fruits from various places to plant in the back garden. An envoy conveyed the order of the King of Wei to go to Wenzhou to collect tangerines. The prefect of Wenzhou ordered four large tangerines to be selected in the city.

More than ten loads were sent to Xudu at starry night.

On the way, a load-carrying laborer was tired and rested at the foot of the mountain. He saw a Taoist priest with one eye and one foot lame. He wore a white vine crown on his head and green lazy clothes. He held a whisk in his hand and greeted all the laborers and said:
Chapter completed!
