Listening to Cao Zhang's words, everyone present was stunned.

Princess Wannian's appearance and figure are definitely worthy of a first-class beauty.

And she is also the identity of the princess of the first emperor, although the Han family is declining now, she is still orthodox in the hearts of the people, and being able to become the brother-in-law of today's son is also what many people can't ask for.

Cao Zhang's refusal to marry Princess Wannian was really unexpected by everyone.

Although Cao Zhang's expression was very calm at this time, his heart was actually fluctuating.

After all, he had witnessed the beauty of Princess Wannian with his own eyes.

As a forensic doctor who went out to the scene every day in his previous life and faced all kinds of dead bodies and wreckage, there were basically few social opportunities to meet beauties of this level.

The first time he heard that Cao Cao was going to give Princess Wannian to marry him, Cao Zhang's heart was also ecstatic.

But he immediately calmed down, realizing that his identity and future ambitions at this time made him unable to marry Princess Wannian at this time.

In real history, Cao Cao became king in his later years, only one step away from becoming an emperor, but he never had the courage to take that step.

The reason is that after all, he has been a "Hanchen" all his life, and he doesn't want to be infamous as a usurper after death.

The reason why Cao Pi later dared to let Emperor Han Xian "Chan Rang" was because he had never been a Han minister, but only a subordinate of Sikong Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Zhang's ambition is to be the son of the world, and then use Cao Cao's power to create his own hegemony, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a Han.

If he is now the concubine of the Han Dynasty and closes the relationship with the Han family, this will definitely have a lot of influence on his generation of Han.

Although he also admires the beauty of Princess Wannian, for the sake of the great cause, he can only choose to endure the pain and cut his love.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang in front of him and was also stunned.

This son, who is usually simple-minded and only knows how to practice martial arts and use brute force, surprised him again and again today, and he couldn't understand why Cao Zhang made such a decision.

"Father, what Brother Zi Dan said just now is very reasonable, Brother Zihuan has not yet married a wife, but he arranged a marriage for me first, which is indeed not in accordance with the etiquette law!"

"What's more, the second brother has just been killed and is still in mourning, where do I have the heart to marry a wife. He also asked his father to take back his fate. ”

Cao Zhang sincerely expressed to Cao Cao again that he did not want to marry the princess.

"Sikong, Ziwen said so, I think you should marry the princess to Zihuan!" Cao Zhen saw Cao Zhang's resignation, and hurriedly helped Cao Pi fight for it.

"Shut up!" Cao Cao suddenly glared at Cao Zhen and scolded Cao Zhen.

"The princess of the Han Dynasty, what a noble identity! How can you push back and forth, whoever wants it!? Cao Cao pointed at Cao Zhang and the others and reprimanded.

From six years ago, the strategist Mao Jue first proposed "serving the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate", and later Xun Yu and others proposed to welcome the emperor to Xudu.

It was in the name of Kuangfu that Cao Cao won the support of the Han courtiers and many scholars, and gradually expanded his prestige and power.

arranged for Cao Shuo to marry Princess Wannian, also to further close the relationship with the Han family.

Now that Cao Shuo is dead, Cao Cao also considered that Cao Zhang had "intimate contact" with the princess after all, so he proposed to let him marry the princess.

Unexpectedly, first Cao Zhen jumped out to fight for the princess for Cao Pi, and then Cao Zhang refused to marry the princess, openly disobeying the order and disrupting his deployment.

This is to disobey Cao Cao in front of his subordinates and advisers, that is, to challenge his authority, how can he not be angry?

Cao Zhang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhen saw Cao Cao angry, and hurriedly bowed their heads together: "What my father taught me is that my son knows that he is wrong!" ”

Cao Cao let out a sigh, and his face softened slightly: "Who the princess will marry, I will think about it carefully, make a suggestion to Your Majesty, and ask the Holy Grace to adjudicate!" ”

"It's none of your business here, all step down!" Cao Cao then waved his hand.

Cao Zhang and the others didn't dare to say more, so they bowed down to Cao Cao and retreated.

Outside the gate of Sikong House.

Cao Zhang and the others walked out and prepared to leave.

Cao Pi took the initiative to walk towards Cao Zhang and saluted him: "Ziwen, my brother just corrected you in front of your father, just for the sake of national law and to protect your father, and there is no target for you, please don't be surprised!" ”

Of course, Cao Zhang understood that Cao Pi was pretending to be superficial appeasement, and hurriedly responded.

"Brother don't mind, I understand. I also believe that my father and the school government will be able to find out the truth and find the real culprit behind the scenes! ”

When Cao Zhang talked about the culprit behind the scenes, he deliberately aggravated his tone, and his eyes stared at Cao Pi deadly.

Cao Pi was a little nervous by Cao Zhang, avoided his direct gaze, and said: "What Ziwen said is that my father will definitely find out." ”

Cao Zhang then bowed deeply to Cao Pi: "In order to prove his innocence, the younger brother has to be disrespectful to his brother in public, so that his brother is ashamed, and please don't blame my brother!" ”

Cao Zhang deliberately brought up the matter of picking Cao Pi's pants in public.

Cao Pi listened to Cao Zhang's words, his face changed slightly, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only try to hold back and squeeze out a dry smile.

"You and I are brothers of the same mother, and it is a matter of duty for my brother to help you clear your suspicions, so it's okay, it's okay!" When he said this, Cao Pi's expression was very ugly.

Cao Zhang looked at Cao Pi's dumb eating coptis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering, his heart was secretly refreshed, and he gave his hand again: "Then the little brother will thank you brother for his forgiveness!" ”

"It's okay, my father told us to keep a vigil for the second brother, I have to go back and prepare first, and the foolish brother will leave first!" Cao Pi didn't want to entangle with Cao Zhang too much, so he turned around and left.

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who were beside him, glared at Cao Zhang viciously and left with Cao Pi.

"Congratulations to my brother!" Cao Zhang bent down to salute, but there was a faint evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

Cao Zhi, who had been silent beside him, saw Cao Pi leaving, stepped forward to say goodbye to Cao Zhang, and then left.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

Finally, with the calm character honed by his forensic medicine and his professional ability to observe the nuances, he survived the hellish start after the crossing.

Cao Zhang knew in his heart that this was just an appetizer.

Today's situation is very clear: Cao Pi openly wants to harm himself, Cao Cao's preference for Cao Zhi is also revealed, and if he wants to intervene in the battle of the prince in the future, there will inevitably be more battles with open guns and hidden arrows waiting for him.

Now that Cao Shuo is dead, Cao Pi has become Cao Cao's eldest son, and his identity will allow him to get the support of some Han ministers who advocate etiquette, and he also has Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and others by his side to help, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Cao Zhi also showed extraordinary talent and ability today, especially Cao Cao's undisguised preference, which gave him an innate advantage.

On the other hand, I want no one to have anyone, I want no identity, I don't have an identity, it can be said that there is no bullshit.

If you want to win in this battle, you must first try your best to win over the people around Cao Cao at present, so that they can speak more for themselves in front of Cao Cao.

At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate their own forces as soon as possible and find enough helpers.

There are not too many generals in the opposition in this era, and most of them are still in the territory not controlled by Cao Cao, and it is not easy to win over them.

But the literati strategists still have a lot of objects to fight for, and Cao Zhang instantly locked on a few candidates in his mind......

Cao Zhang was thinking about it, when there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, accompanied by a girl's coquettish shout: "Brother Ziwen! ”
