After Cao Cao’s death, Cao Pi succeeded in taking the throne (王位) of the Kingdom of Wei. Cao Pi was jealous (嫉妒的) of Cao Zhi for his better literary ability, and afraid that he might cause problems, so he was always looking for a way to kill his brother.

Cao Zhi was very angry, and he began to walk and think sadly.
