Three Kingdoms: Comparing Sons Leaves Cao Cao Green with Envy

The feast at the Bronze Sparrow Terrace was in full swing when a sky screen suddenly appeared!

The left side showed reality: Cao Zhi was forced to compose a seven-step poem, Cao Pi sneered as he seized the succession, and Cao Zhi was eventually placed under house arrest, dying of depression at 41. By the third generation of Wei, the Sima family had usurped the throne!

The right side showed a parallel world: Cao Zhi presented three strategies for Hebei that astonished Cao Cao, broke Zhou Yu with a fire attack at Red Cliffs, and reformed the nine-rank system to open a path for poor families. He kept the Sima family down to a life of farming and study, eventually ascending the throne as Emperor Taizong of Wei. He drove the Xianbei back in the north, unified Wu and Shu in the south, and founded a three-hundred-year golden age of Jian'an!

Cao Cao stared at the Cao Zhi on the sky screen, the one hailed throughout history as Emperor Taizong, then looked at his own son, who could only write poetry. The jealousy made him slam the table!

But the next moment, the Cao Zhi in reality suddenly knelt and declared, "Father, I can use fire attacks too. I can govern the powerful clans, and I can make Great Wei last a thousand years!"

From then on, Cao Zhi face-slapped Cao Pi, recruited Deng Ai and Shi Bao, and challenged the Xun clan's powerful family. Even Zhuge Liang sighed, "With Zian in Wei, Shu has no chance of rising!"

As his son kept turning the tables, Cao Cao went from regret to pounding his chest, then to boasting to everyone he met: "My son Zhi is ten times better than I am!"

At last, Cao Zhi held the Imperial Seal and stood atop the walls of Luoyang, with a unified realm behind him and countless people kneeling before him.

"This time, only Great Wei will flourish!"
