Cao Shu not only did not worry that Cao Pi would usurp the Han Dynasty and become independent, but instead looked very expectant.

Cao Zhi, who was confused, looked at Cao Shuo: "Brother, mean..."

"We have been fighting for so many years and so many people have died. Even my brothers have turned against him for the sake of power." Cao Shu turned around and faced him: "Do you think that once the world is pacified, I still have Zihuan. No matter who wins the country, will it be handed over to His Majesty today?"

Cao Shu could understand what he said very clearly, and Cao Zhi suddenly realized.

He asked, "Is it not for the sake of the great man?"

"The Han Dynasty has declined, and I have all raised my soldiers by myself." Cao Shuo laughed: "Spend your own money, bring your own soldiers, eat your own food, but you have to fight for others. Do you think I am stupid or Zihuan stupid?"

"It turns out that my elder brother has never been loyal to the great man." Cao Zhi lowered his head: "I thought..."

"Are you ever loyal to the great man?" Cao Shuo's lips smiled: "The great man has declined, and what he left us is nothing more than a royal family with a reputation. Over the years, which decree has not come from our Cao family? Which war is not fought by our Cao family? When the world is unified, we will hand over the country to the Han emperor. Can he be as good as us in the world?"

Cao Shu's doubts made Cao Zhi unable to answer.

The Cao family fought in the world, and the soldiers surrendered to the Cao family, and had no loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

He just didn't expect that Cao Shu, who never showed any sign of dew, had already had the idea of ​​replacing the Han Dynasty.

"My father welcomed the emperor to Xudu because he was useful." Cao Shuo said: "The world is full of chaos and heroes, and no matter who is it, they are under the guise of restoring the Han Dynasty. At first, there were indeed a group of good ministers and generals loyal to the Han Dynasty, but as one thing happened, the Han Dynasty became more and more declining, and people's hearts were separated. Who would still think about revitalizing the Han Dynasty's prestige?"

"That's right, but there are inevitably no one around my elder brother who is loyal to the Han Dynasty." Cao Zhi asked: "What if they object, what should I do if my elder brother?"

"Whoever the emperor is in his hands should be the first to be the emperor." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and looked into the distance again: "Zihuan has long wanted to be the emperor. We will give him a chance to be the emperor."

"Does the elder brother wait for the second brother to become emperor and then raise an army to attack?" Cao Zhi asked.

"That's not." Cao Shu shook his head: "I'm going to wait until Zihuan takes the position of the emperor firmly!"

Cao Zhi thought that someone would oppose the emperor, so Cao Shu of course considered it a long time ago.

There are indeed some who will oppose his proclaiming emperor, including Xun Yu as the leader.

If Cao Zhi brought Liu Xie to Shouchun, it would give Cao Shu a headache.

Liu Xie went to Yecheng, and Cao Pi would be the one who pulled him off the throne of the emperor. Cao Shu would not have to pretend to be a good person.

If Cao Pi did not kidnap him and the emperor came to Shouchun, although he could use the emperor to command the princes, the general trend of the world was mostly a foregone conclusion, and the imperial power could not effectively control the princes as before.

As Cao Shu said, you can't give up the country and leave it to a down-and-out emperor who enjoys his achievements.

Once the world is unified, it will be inevitable that Cao Shu will become emperor.

By deposing Liu Xie and replacing him, he would still bear the bad reputation of a traitor.

Cao Shu didn't plan to bear such a reputation.

Since Cao Pi wanted to be the emperor, let's send Liu Xie to him.

Standing behind Cao Shu and hearing what he said, Cao Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming to Shouchun, he was still nervous, afraid that Cao Shu would blame him for losing the emperor.

After hearing what Cao Shu said, Cao Zhi was glad that he was intercepted and killed by Le Jin halfway.

If he really brought the emperor to Shouchun, he would not know how much trouble it would bring to this elder brother who also wanted to be the emperor but refused to bear the charge of a traitor.

Cao Zhi went to Shouchun, and Le Jin and Jiang Ji kidnapped Liu Xie, which was called escort, but actually escort, and sent him to Yecheng.

Since Jiang Ji went to Xudu, Cao Pi has been worried, fearing that he and Le Jin would not be able to bring Liu Xie back.

Before Le Jin and Jiang Ji escorted Liu Xie to Yecheng, Cao Pi, who received the news, personally led a team of guards to greet him.

Seeing the team escorting Liu Xie from afar, Cao Pi urged the horses to speed up their journey.

When Jiang Ji saw him coming, he dismounted and saluted early.

Le Jin just bowed and greeted: "Second Young Master!"

Le Jin's attitude made Cao Pi very upset.

But he did not show any signs of his face, but instead he smiled and said to the two of them: "It's hard for him to escort Your Majesty, I'll work hard for you!"

After greeting the two, Cao Pi came outside Liu Xie's carriage.

After turning over and dismounting, he saluted to the carriage: "Your Majesty is exhausted all the way, I respectfully welcome you late, please forgive me!"

Liu Xie's voice came from the carriage: "Is it General Zihuan outside?"

"That's right." Cao Pi said: "This place is not close to Yecheng. Your Majesty, please sit down first. If I have me on the road, there will be no mistakes."

"I am certainly relieved to have General Zihuan here." Liu Xie responded.

Cao Pi issued an order to the team: "Continue to move forward!"

After a short stay, the team continued to move towards Yecheng.

Jiang Ji came to Cao Pi and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, what should I do next by sending the emperor to Yecheng?"

"What do you think you should do?" Cao Pi did not answer, but asked back.

Jiang Ji said: "I think the young master should start moving the capital when he returns to Yecheng."

"Move the capital?" Cao Pi was stunned: "Where to move?"

"I have been fighting for many years, and Luoyang has been abandoned for many years." Jiang Ji replied: "Although Dong Zhuo made all the fire to Luoyang, after more than ten years, some vitality has been restored there. Luoyang was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty. When the prince moved the capital back, no matter the new and old ministers, there would be nothing to say."

"Why should we move the capital?" Cao Pi said: "My father has been managing Yecheng for many years, and it has become much more prosperous than Luoyang. If we don't want Yecheng, we just want to go to Luoyang. Wouldn't we lose the roots and the end?"

"It seems like that." Jiang Ji said, "But have you ever thought that although Yecheng is noisy and prosperous, it is too close to the eldest son's Shouchun. Once the eldest son intends to be unfavorable to the young master, can he compete with the young master's army?"

"With my military strength, it should be no problem to compete with Cao Zirong." Cao Pi frowned: "What I am really worried about is Liu Xuande and Sun Zhongmou."

Jiang Ji suddenly realized: "I understand what the young master means. If we don't provoke the eldest son, we don't have to provoke him. However, if the young master doesn't provoke him, it is difficult to save whether the eldest son will provoke him after he replaces it."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ji subconsciously looked back at Liu Xie's carriage.
