Chang'an City.

When the fourth prince Jin Zhe learned about what the eldest prince Jin Lin had done because of his fourth son, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Grandstanding!"

Cao Pi responded, "Your Highness is right. The eldest prince is just trying to use the innocence of his youngest son to win the sympathy of His Majesty and the court officials, and to increase his bargaining chips in the battle for the crown prince. Little do they know that true wisdom and virtue cannot be concealed by such petty tricks."

Jin Zhe took a sip of the hot tea on the table, his eyes flashing with disdain and coldness, "Humph, Jin Lin has always liked to play these political tricks, but he has forgotten the most fundamental thing - the way to govern a country is to sincerely seek the welfare of the people, rather than thinking about how to curry favor with my father all day long. This prince will not waste his mind on these meaningless actions like him."

"Your Highness is wise," Cao Pi said respectfully, "You have always been diligent in government affairs, recruiting talents widely, and you are deeply loved by the people. In comparison, the eldest prince's cleverness is just the tricks of a clown, and it will not amount to anything big. In time, the position of crown prince will definitely belong to Your Highness."

Jin Zhe smiled slightly, looking through the carved window lattice at the bustling Chang'an street scene in the distance, secretly calculating his next move. He knew that in this contest that concerned the fate of the world, every step had to be taken with caution, to show his ability but not to show off too much, so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion.

"Cao Pi, you must continue to pay close attention to the movements of the eldest prince and his cronies, and report any signs of trouble immediately. At the same time, we must speed up our pace, consolidate our power, and prepare for the overall situation in the future." Jin Zhe's words revealed an unquestionable determination.

"As you command, Your Highness." Cao Pi bowed, his eyes flashing with absolute loyalty to Jin Zhe. He turned and left the room, but he was secretly thinking in his heart how to gain more benefits and status for himself in this battle for imperial power.

After returning to his residence, Cao Pi immediately summoned his trusted spies and whispered, "Increase the surveillance of the eldest prince's residence, especially their contact with the outside world. No details can be missed. In addition, we must also begin to secretly contact those court officials who are dissatisfied with the eldest prince and win their support. Remember, we must do it secretly and carefully, and don't let people know that it was us who did it."

In the dead of night, Cao Pi sat alone in his study, holding an ancient book in his hand, his eyes occasionally passing through the pages and gazing at the deep night sky outside the window. He knew very well that in this game of power, every step must be treading on thin ice, and he must cleverly use all available resources, and be vigilant at all times, so as not to let his ambition become the target of others' attacks.

In order to enhance his own strength, Cao Pi decided to secretly train a group of trusted warriors who were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also highly loyal and resourceful. He personally selected and trained them to ensure that they could become his sharp blades in this struggle.

At the same time, Cao Pi also began to look for opportunities in the court to show his talent and loyalty at the right time. Whether it was his accurate judgment in handling government affairs or his appropriate words at banquets, he gradually won more attention and praise in the court. But he always maintained a humble attitude and did not easily show his edge, so as not to become the target of public criticism too early.

In this process, Cao Pi also cleverly used Jin Zhe's power to pave the way for his own plan, while also secretly observing Jin Zhe's movements to ensure that he could always take the initiative and move forward and backward freely in this complex power game. He knew that the real winner must not only have extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also patience and foresight to wait for the decisive moment to come.

In addition, Cao Pi also focused on cultivating his own team of trusted people. Some of them were talented but of humble origins, while others were ambitious. What they had in common was that they were loyal to Cao Pi and willing to sacrifice their lives for him. Through private teachings and practical training, he gradually forged these talents into his own swords and shields. At the same time, Cao Pi did not forget to establish a good image among the people. He often visited the people in disguise to understand the people's sentiments. He won the love and support of the people with practical actions, laying a solid foundation of public opinion for his future.

When dealing with hostile forces, Cao Pi showed extraordinary calmness and strategy. He was good at using psychological tactics, such as spreading rumors, dividing and disintegrating, to quietly weaken the opponent's strength, rather than resorting to force. This method of outsmarting rather than attacking hard not only reduced unnecessary losses, but also allowed him to always achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost in the struggles inside and outside the court.

More importantly, Cao Pi always maintained his love and pursuit of learning. He knew that in this unpredictable era, only by continuous learning can he keep up with the times and avoid being eliminated. Therefore, he often studied classics late at night and discussed the concept of governing the country with literati and scholars, drawing wisdom and inspiration from them, making himself not only a practitioner but also a thinker in the political struggle.

In this way, Cao Pi accumulated strength quietly, and each of his steps was steady and far-reaching, like a tiger lurking in the dark, quietly waiting for the best time to attack, in order to shine the most dazzling light on the future stage of power. In the accumulation day after day, Cao Pi not only deepened his understanding of Confucian classics, but also extensively studied military tactics, history, literature and other fields, forming his own unique insights and patterns. He was good at integrating the knowledge he learned to guide practice, so that his decisions were often far-sighted and delicate, winning praise from the court and the public. At the same time, he was well aware of the importance of talents to national development, so he recruited talents from all walks of life and built a think tank composed of talents from all walks of life, laying a solid foundation for his political path.

Cao Pi also paid special attention to the prosperity of culture and art, encouraged literary creation, and promoted calligraphy, which made Jian'an literature reach a new height in his era and left a valuable cultural heritage for future generations. These measures not only enriched the spiritual world of the people, but also further consolidated his cultural authority, making his rule more popular.

With the dual blessing of power and wisdom, Cao Pi gradually grew from an unknown prince to a monarch who could stand on his own. He waited patiently, made careful plans, and finally, at the key point of history, he successfully ascended the throne of the Wei Kingdom through a series of exquisite political games, and opened his own glorious era. In this process, Cao Pi showed not only his persistent pursuit of knowledge, but also his deep understanding of power and responsibility. He used his actions to interpret what a true wise man and leader is.

More importantly, Cao Pi set an example by advocating frugality and diligence and opposing extravagance and waste. This good atmosphere influenced the entire court from top to bottom, making Wei united and committed to the prosperity of the country.
