Listening to Cao Pi's escape, Jia Xu was silent for a while, but only for a while.

His face, like an old tree bark, showed a smile without any emotion, and he also said it.

"Why should I run away?"

Cao Pi was not panicked either. He put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and looked at the slightly snow falling outside the window, felt the coldness of the cold winter month, and his words also came out.

"If you don't escape, are you waiting for your father to punish you?"

Jia Xu curled his lips slightly, poured himself a cup of tea, added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, and said, "Doesn't it mean that he has pleaded guilty?"

Cao Pi thought Jia Xu was worried about his life, so he said, "Don't worry, Jia Gong, this matter will not affect the Jia family. On the contrary, the father will also give the Jia family some compensation."

Politics sometimes are like this: sacrificing oneself in exchange for family prosperity.

But Jia Xu was unwilling and did not believe it.

"What if I don't run away?"

Cao Pi paused, reached out to pick a window flower, and only then did he say something after watching the window flower melt in his hand.

"You should know this ending, Mr. Jia."

Jia Xu pretended to be confused.

"I don't know much, so please tell me."

Cao Pi turned around, he glanced at Jia Xu deeply and said, "Die!"

"Where are you running away?" Jia Xu asked again.

Cao Pi paused and said, "Life."

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head. He looked at the steaming teacup in his hand, and the joke in his eyes could not be concealed.

"I'm afraid I'll die if I really escape?"

Cao Pi paused, and the smile on his face disappeared completely.

The cold wind blew with snowflakes, and the sky and the earth seemed to be hanging a floating net, which was slanted to this side, leaning towards the other side, and bent as if it was to pick up something. The dark dusk air gradually penetrated into it, and the shadow of the snowflakes became hazy, appearing and disappearing in the air, and suddenly emerged from the dark air, quietly passing through the ears, casting a little light and shadow on the ground, flashing and floating.

And Cao Pi's heart was drifting like snow.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Jia."

Indeed, if Jia Xu escaped, Cao Pi would not only not let Jia Xu go, but would also arrest Jia Xu.

If you run away for nothing, doesn’t it prove that Jia Xu is the real murderer behind the scenes?

Otherwise, if you are open and honest, why would you escape?

By then, Jia Xu would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

This is Cao Pi’s idea.

pity...

Jia Xu saw through this clumsy plan at first sight.

Even now, Jia Xu can remain calm, and Cao Pi naturally admires him a little.

If it were someone else, maybe he would have been in power for a long time, so how could he tell the trap of Cao Pi's words?

It’s a pity that he is Jia Xu!

This person who has been on the stage of history since Dong Zhuo was in chaos.

He has seen too many scenes and too big. The current situation is not the worst situation that Jia Xu has encountered.

After Cao Pi set up a trap on himself, Jia Xu was considered to be vigilant against Cao Pi.

No matter how young a poisonous snake is, it is a poisonous snake. If you bite it, you will die.

What's more, Cao Pi's poisonous snake is not a little snake, he has been dormant for many years.

Jia Xu's eyes flashed. He drank the hot tea on his hands, and his whole body felt warm. Jia Xu also moaned in a low voice.

"Actually, I'm a little curious. Why did you ask me to be a scapegoat? Am I not good enough to you, or is it that I have no effect?"

Jia Xu said this very calmly, but the glitter in his eyes showed his concern for this issue.

After being sold by Cao Pi, Jia Xu was angry and was also very unfair.

As an old and important official of the founding state of Wei, even if he has no contribution, he will work hard, let alone Jia Xu's work hard.

Especially for Cao Pi, he was on Cao Pi's side from the beginning, but Cao Pi still wanted to make himself a scapegoat.

Don't he know how important I am to him?

But after hearing Jia Xu's question, Cao Pi was silent for a while.

He knelt down opposite Jia Xu again, looking at Jia Xu with bright eyes. After sighing, Cao Pi also said something.

"Jia Gong has the title of poisonous man, but now it is peaceful. The poisonous man is useless. The birds are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. Is Jia Gong aware of this truth?"

What Cao Pi said was that Jia Xu was useless, but Jia Xu heard a different meaning.

In fact, Jia Xu also has some speculations.

The world is indeed unified now, but if we talk about peace, it is far from the time. Otherwise, why would the King of Wei be worried about Liu Zhang, Ma Teng, Gongsun Kang and others, and be afraid that they would rebel?

Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, there is no market for the poisonous plan.

Just like the battle for the throne, do you think the battle for the throne is an open showdown?

Don’t joke, if the battle for the throne is really an open showdown, then what is the relationship between the Marquis of Chang’an and the Marquis of Luoyang?

Not to mention that it is not a peaceful and prosperous era now. There are too many times when there is a poisonous plan in this world.

Jia Xu knew that he was still useful.

Moreover, with his own qualifications, he could have greatly helped Cao Pi, but Cao Pi still made himself a scapegoat. In this way, there may be only one answer that can be explained.

That is, Cao Pi can gain greater benefits than losing himself in doing so.

So what benefits can he get?

Poisonous scheming...

By the way...

Jia Xu seemed to have suddenly realized it.

Is it reputation?

"Is it because of my so-called reputation?"

Cao Pi paused, touched the jade-colored teacup on the table and said, "I don't care about fame, but I care about my father's opinion."

What is the view of the King of Wei?

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled. So far, he knew why Cao Pi wanted to make himself a scapegoat.

"The things you did were revealed by the king?"

Cao Pi shook his head and said, "This is not the case, but because of Cao Chong's traps, my father's impression of me has changed a little."

"Is it because of the vicious heart that has been discovered and the selfish personality has been revealed, so I want to make up for the loss?"

"That's right!"

Cao Pi admitted it very simply and did not make any refutation.

"My father likes Cang Shu and prefers Cang Shu. This is something that all the civil and military officials in the court know. I must have heard of it. I have not pleased my father at all. If I annoy my father because of this, then I will be able to doom me."

Speaking of which, Cao Pi has always envied Cao Chong.

I used to envy Cao Zhi, but now I envy Cao Chong even more.

Cao Pi is actually not up to par.

They are both your sons, why do you care about them very much but hate yourself very much?

I'm not your biological child?

Cao Pi was also very wronged at times, but he could only hide the grievances in his heart in the deepest part of his heart.

Mencius said: When God is about to give a great responsibility to a man, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and lose his body. He acts and disturbs his actions. Therefore, he has moved his heart and endured his nature and has made him unable to do so.

This is the test of the father on himself.

It must be!

Cao Pi had no choice but to think so.

I think so, but some changes are needed.

It is not Cao Pi's style to eat and wait for death.

For example, Cao Pi must do this.
