Seeing Cao Pi's shocked look, Sima Yi smiled sheepishly.
Cui Yan on the side also gestured to Cao Pi, asking him not to expose the two of them.
There was no other way, Cao Pi could only bite the bullet and take what Cheng Yu said:
"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Cheng. Next time... I will definitely pay attention to it."
In short, now that Cao Pi had explained, Cheng Yu didn't say anything more. He just shrugged and said the next words to Cao Pi. However, these words made Cao Pi, who was extremely tired, suddenly start to fight.
Got the spirit.
"However, I didn't come here today to remind the second young master that you need to close the door frequently."
"In fact, there is something that the Prime Minister has never publicly stated before, but speaking of it, you may have already started to prepare."
"Today, the Prime Minister called everyone together early in the morning and officially announced this decision."
"First of all, congratulations, Second Young Master, for passing the previous test."
Cheng Yu said this, then Cao Pi wouldn't be sleepy anymore.
"Sure enough! Sure enough, that previous experience was my father's test, right?"
Cao Pi shouted excitedly without realizing it. At least he knew this. Although he had experienced a lot of torture in the past few days, he felt much better.
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Pi who was cheering so happily, and naturally laughed, because there were some things he hadn't finished saying yet:
"Second Young Master, this is not the time to be happy, because I haven't finished what I said yet."
Cheng Yu suddenly interrupted Cao Pi's celebration.
Cui Yan and Sima Yi, who were hiding in the bushes behind the door, also looked puzzled.
"Um...Mr. Cheng, how do you say this?"
Looking at Cheng Yu's half-smiling expression, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and could only ask cautiously:
"It's like this. I also told you, Young Master, that this is a test prepared by the Prime Minister for Second Young Master and all of you who are qualified to participate in the establishment of an heir. Second Young Master, you passed it, but the First Young Master also withstood the test.
"
"The only person whose qualifications were denied in this test was the Fourth Young Master - but the Prime Minister did not express disappointment in the Fourth Young Master, and said that the Fourth Young Master should also be included among the staff of Ye Santai in the future."
"So in the end, the two of you who will participate in the dispute over the heir establishment are the eldest son and the second son."
Cheng Yu's words completely frustrated Cao Pi's preparations these days.
Cao Pi, who was stunned at this moment, never thought that Cao Zhi, whom he regarded as his biggest opponent, would be defeated by this small test - but this is not the most terrible thing, because according to Cao Cao's meaning, it seems that after Cao Zhi was defeated,
, he also wants to occupy the magpie's nest and work for Ye Santai, which he has worked hard to manage for more than half a year.
This is not the end yet——
After listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Pi realized that the so-called small test was really a test that couldn't be smaller, and the bigger one was yet to come.
And...his opponent suddenly became the Cao Ang who was ignored by everyone - Cao Ang, but the person Cao Pi has always been quite afraid of.
Mainly because of the person standing behind his eldest brother. Even Cao Cao was a little unpredictable, let alone him.
Apart from these, the most troublesome thing for Cao Pi is that he has no idea about the situation on Cao Ang's side.
"This...this is what father just decided this morning?"
"That's right, the real assessment is about to begin. I heard from the Prime Minister that this assessment will be a comprehensive assessment, including many small tests, and will last for a long time. Please do your best, Second Young Master.
Prepare--"
"Oh yes, by the way, the content of the assessment of the two young masters is completely different, and there will not be any unnecessary competition. If, second young master, you think that this assessment only requires some planning against your opponent, I will
I would like to advise you, please don’t create extraneous matters, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable——"
"Ah... Mr. Cheng, you... you are worrying too much. I... how could I possibly think about these things."
Cheng Yu's tone was very serious, but Cao Pi could only laugh and joke, trying to fool him.
But Cheng Yu's words gave Cao Pi another reminder - what does it mean that the assessment contents are different?
He... he doesn't quite understand it now.
Looking at Cao Pi's appearance, it was obvious that he had something on his mind, but Cheng Yu didn't intend to pursue anything. After all, all victory and defeat will be determined by the assessment Cao Cao said today. Even close ministers like them are now
There are still some things that are not clear, let alone Cao Pi, who only knows the news now.
"Second Young Master, please take care of yourself. I heard that the content of this assessment was formulated by the Prime Minister personally with Mr. Yi. Even Xun Lingjun and Mr. Jia were full of praise for it."
"There will be a dedicated person to tell you exactly what will be assessed. I won't bother you here..."
Cheng Yu suddenly laughed and said meaningfully to Cao Pi:
"I'm leaving now. Second Young Master, you can have a good rest."
He said, nodded slightly, and quickly left the house.
Cao Pi was so preoccupied with trying to figure out the content of the assessment that Cheng Yu just said that he didn't seem to notice that there was obviously something in Cheng Yu's last sentence.
But Cui Yan and Sima Yi had been listening to Cheng Yu's words attentively. When they heard Cheng Yu say "you", they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat...
——
Finally Cheng Yu left, Cao Pi closed the door belatedly, and Cui Yan and Sima Yi walked out of the bushes with relief.
"Cheng...Mr. Cheng, does he know we are here?"
Sima Yi muttered with some fear.
Cui Yan frowned and said:
"It shouldn't be. He might just be guessing and want to deceive us... I'm sure he didn't notice us."
The two of them were muttering here, but Cao Pi was very irritable:
"You...stop saying those useless things!"
"Cheng Yu said such an important thing, didn't you hear any news?"
Cao Pi gritted his teeth and looked at Cui Yan and Sima Yi who were clearly paddling. He wanted to curse but couldn't.
"Fourth brother actually gave up? It turns out he wasn't trying to confuse us before?"
"Yang Xiu...Sima Yi, that Yang Xiu you mentioned, where is he now?"
Because Cao Zhi suddenly withdrew, Cao Pi was at a loss. But facing an unknown opponent, and he didn't even know the details about Cao Ang, it was inevitable that Cao Pi would become anxious now.
And the only way he could think of was to simply win over the enemies who were already out.
"Um...Second Young Master, do you want to..."
Sima Yi couldn't help but frown. He didn't think it was a bad thing for Yang Xiu to come, but... if Yang Xiu also came... their target would seem to be too huge. If Cao Cao really watched a group of them, there would be a group of them.
