Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

It’s time for the regular court meeting again.

The civil and military officials of the Wei Dynasty came to the palace hall together and found seats on both sides of the hall according to their official positions.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi also attended the court meeting together.

During this time, the fight between the two for the crown prince's position seemed to have become much calmer.

But the competition behind the scenes has reached a fever pitch.

Because both Sima Yi and Yang Xiu had already foreseen that Cao Cao would appoint a crown prince within the next two years.

There is not much time left for Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

After going to court, Cao Cao first learned about the situation in various states and counties.

Dawei is having a good year overall.

There is no drought or flood.

Then Cao Cao took out an edict and gave it to the eunuch to read.

After the eunuch received the edict, he read it loudly with a slightly shrill voice as usual.

But the further you read, the louder the sound becomes and the slower the speed becomes.

At the same time, among the civil and military personnel in the main hall, some looked happy, while others looked ashen.

More people have an expected attitude.

".Canonize Cao Pi as the crown prince, I appreciate this!"

After reading out the edict, the eunuch felt sweat forming on his forehead.

After listening to the edict, Cao Pi stood up and said loudly to Cao Pi:

"My son, I accept the decree!"

"Thank you, father!"

Sima Yi, who had always supported Cao Pi, as well as Cui Yan, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Wu Zhi and others, all had expressions of excitement that could not be concealed on their faces.

Cao Pi himself was most excited when he heard that he was canonized as prince.

He calmed down quickly after that.

By the time I received the order and said my thanks, my mood had basically calmed down.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for Cao Pi to sit down.

"I know that everyone is very concerned about the inheritance of our great Wei Dynasty."

"Today's canonization of Zi Huan as the crown prince is also a choice I made after weighing it repeatedly."

"All of you, dear friends, will do your best to assist Zihuan in the future."

Then Cao Cao said in a deep voice to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, a group of civil and military ministers echoed his words.

Unlike Cao Pi, Sima Yi and others, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu were both in a very low mood.

Cao Zhi also made great efforts to become the prince.

Whether it was Yang Xiu, the brothers Ding Yi and Ding Miao, or Yang Jun, who was also from the Hongnong Yang family, they all tried their best to help Cao Zhi obtain the position of prince.

Although they had anticipated today's result, they were still devastated the moment they actually learned about it.

From the power of the dragon, bang! Gone!

"Zijian was granted the title of King of Chen, and his fiefdom was in Chen County."

Then Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhi who looked disappointed and said.

After hearing this, Cao Zhi stood up and thanked him.

The meeting ends here

The news that Cao Pi was canonized as prince today had spread to all the noble clans in Ye City in just two hours.

That night, everyone in Yecheng knew about it.

After learning the news, shopkeeper Chen immediately sent someone to Hanzhong overnight to announce that Cao Pi had been crowned prince and that Cao Zhi had been granted the title of King of Chen.

Then Shopkeeper Chen went to find Shopkeepers Qian and Zhao for a drink.

It's such a big deal that it's natural to have a good chat while drinking.

After Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Zhao received the invitation from Shopkeeper Chen, they immediately came to the restaurant they often went to before.

After the three shopkeepers Chen arrived, the entire restaurant was already packed.

Fortunately, Shopkeepers Chen, Zhao and Qian are all regular customers of this restaurant, and they are very generous every time they come to eat.

So after the three of them arrived, they were taken directly to a private room along the street on the third floor by the waiter.

"Hahaha, I knew that with such big news today, you would definitely ask me to come out for a drink!"

The three of them entered the private room. After shopkeeper Chen closed the door, shopkeeper Zhao couldn't wait to say to him.

"Hahaha, the one who knows me is Brother Zhao!"

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Chen also said to shopkeeper Zhao with a smile on his face.

"Let me tell you, the best outcome would be for His Highness Cao Pi to be canonized as Crown Prince."

"I don't know what His Majesty has been hesitating about all these years."

Shopkeeper Zhao was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Shopkeeper Qian:

"Brother Zhao, be careful what you say!"

I went out to drink with Shopkeepers Chen and Zhao several times before, and Shopkeeper Zhao behaved quite well.

This is the first time that Shopkeeper Qian has seen Shopkeeper Zhao’s side that loves to comment on current affairs.

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't help but smile at Shopkeeper Qian and said:

"Brother Qian, don't worry too much, it's nothing."

In Yecheng, it is normal for both scholars and nobles to talk about current affairs.

Just like what Shopkeeper Zhao said, as long as you don't do it in front of all the diners in the restaurant, there is no problem.

"Hahaha, Brother Qian is not afraid, you can speak freely today!"

Shopkeeper Zhao, who was interrupted, was not angry at this time and smiled at Shopkeeper Qian.

This is why Shopkeepers Chen and Zhao always choose to have a private relationship when they come to this restaurant to drink.

After closing the door, no matter how arrogant the drunk shopkeeper Zhao was, it can be said that he was drunk and talking nonsense.

Shopkeeper Qian has not been in Yecheng for a long time. Although he often interacts with the nobles in Yecheng, in terms of familiarity, Shopkeeper Chen is definitely better.

When Shopkeeper Chen said it didn't matter, Shopkeeper Qian also relaxed.

"It turns out that I was too cautious, hahaha."

"I'll punish myself with a drink first!"

Then shopkeeper Qian smiled at the two of them, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

After three selections of wine and five flavors of food.

Whether it is Shopkeeper Zhao, Shopkeeper Chen, or Shopkeeper Qian, they are all already a bit on top.

"I think what Brother Zhao said is wrong. His Highness Cao Chong should be canonized as the crown prince!"

At this time, shopkeeper Qian also began to express his views on today's canonization of the crown prince.

"His Royal Highness Cao Chong was a student of Hanzhong Hou."

"If His Highness Cao Chong becomes the crown prince, the title of Marquis of Hanzhong will definitely be further improved!"

After Shopkeeper Qian finished speaking, Shopkeeper Chen on the side also nodded.

However, shopkeeper Chen knew that Cao Chong's hope of becoming the crown prince was too low. Unless Bai Feng came out to support him, there would be no possibility for Cao Chong to compete with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for the crown prince's position.

Shopkeeper Zhao heard this and said:

"Brother Qian, if His Highness Cao Chong wants to become the crown prince, he must have strong support from Hanzhong!"

Shopkeeper Qian nodded and said:

"That's right, but I don't know why the Hanzhong Marquis didn't come out to support His Highness Cao Chong."

"Did the Marquis of Hanzhong have any agreement with His Majesty?"

"For example, you won't interfere with the appointment of the crown prince?"

Shopkeeper Qian guessed at this time. Shopkeepers Zhao and Chen both shook their heads when they heard this, saying that they didn't know.

In fact, shopkeeper Qian didn't know, but he guessed most of them right.
