Chapter 220, Killing the Emperor
The abolition of the emperor is probably the standard for measuring the status of a powerful minister, and it is also an appraiser for the virtuous ministers and great careerists through the ages.
Yi Yin imprisoned Taijia and became famous in history. Ji Dan became the king of the administration, and the merits are eternal. Zhao Gao murdered Hu Hai and established the prince of Qin, and he is still infamous to this day. Zhou Bo Chen Ping killed the Lu family and abolished the young emperor, and the people still criticized it. Huo Guang abolished Liu He, and his reputation was mixed. Wang Mang founded the Han Dynasty and was the first to usurp the throne. Liang Ji poisoned and killed Emperor Qian, and was deeply spurned for hundreds of years. Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Bian, and the princes rose up to attack him.
The last Sima Shi who abolished the emperor also received a lot of scolding.
Sima Zhao's heart was a little apprehensive, the emperor had become more and more restless recently, and he had made a lot of moves. Cao Chao was a very smart child, and being made emperor was really not a good thing for the Sima clan. At the beginning, due to political influence, I had to compromise with the Empress Dowager Guo, but now the government is in my hands, and the Empress Dowager Guo is also older and not as tough as before. It doesn't seem impossible to change another emperor, but the brothers have abolished the emperor one after another, and it seems that it is not very glamorous to go out. It would be great if Cao Chao was like his brother and died of a sudden emergency, so that everyone would have peace of mind.
Cao Chao's body is very good, and he practices martial arts and swords on weekdays. Rao is like this, but he is still not used to wearing iron armor of dozens of catties on his body, and the pressure is uncomfortable. He didn't have any armor on now, but he just hung a common sword. Today is a big day, a big day to kill the powerful ministers.
Surrounded by guards, he stepped onto the chariot step by step, drew his long sword, and pointed straight into the air. His face carried the pride of being an emperor, and a hint of bitter tenacity.
"All the soldiers, Sima Zhao's heart of rebellion is known to passers-by. I can't sit still, so I'll lead you out of the palace today, destroy the Sima clan, and set up a positive dynasty. But you will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and afterwards I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and no one will be left behind!"
"Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, ......"
Cao Chao waved his long sword, pointed forward, and shouted, "Kill!"
The desperate emperor and the excited soldiers poured out of the palace gate like a tide. Sima Ling looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little timid in his heart. After all, the Wei State is nominally the foundation of the Cao family, and it is not the king's land, and it is not the king's land, and it is not the king's minister. The king wants his ministers to die, and if the courtiers resist, it is also a sin.
If the Sima clan resists, it is disobeying the king's orders and rebelling. If you don't resist, you have to sit at home and wait for death, and if it's not good, the nine clans will be punished. The emperor clearly tore his face and didn't intend to leave any dignity for himself. At present, it is too late to abolish the emperor, but if the emperor is killed, I am afraid that it will become a stain that can never be cleaned.
Cao Chao stood in the car and saw Sima Ling leading the troops blocking the palace gate, and was about to speak, but he took the first step to say: "You are also soldiers of the Great Wei, do you want to rebel against the emperor's will?"
The soldiers under Sima Ling's command hesitated at first, then threw down their swords and fled in all directions. Disobeying the emperor is still a big sin, they are just pawns, they don't have a hard head like Sima, and they don't have that much courage.
Sima Ling can only run away, he is also a member of the Sima clan, the son of Sima Yi and Fu Shi, the third in the family, and the half-brother of Sima Zhao. The emperor's current posture is really crazy, if he doesn't escape, he is afraid that he will die.
Cao Chao led the people to continue to march, but now he was just about to leave the palace gate, but he was blocked, whether he could reach Sima's house smoothly, Cao Chao's heart did not have any confidence.
The obstruction came faster than expected, and before the soldiers who walked in front could get out of the palace gate, Jia Chong led people to rush in.
Cao Chao put his sword across his chest and said, "Jia Chong is Sima Zhao's dog, kill!"
The sword danced, and blood splattered. The identity of the emperor may be the best umbrella, at least none of those soldiers dared to make a move against him, Cao Chao was the first time to go into battle, and it was also the first time to kill. The taste of killing was not as horrible as he thought, and he didn't have time to think about what it tasted like. On the battlefield, I just care about fighting desperately, and I don't care about anything else.
The situation faced by Jia Chong is better than Sima Ling, but it is not much better. Emperor, emperor, the soldiers did not dare to attack the emperor, so they could only be slashed and killed by the emperor. The incident was urgent, and there were not many soldiers brought, and Cao Chao was imposing at the moment, and Jia Chong had already seen defeat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince asked Jia Chong in a hurry: "General, the situation is urgent, how to deal with it?"
Jia Chong looked left and right, and saw that everyone was only concerned about fighting, and no one was paying attention, so he said: "Sima Gong raised you people for today's use, why bother asking about today's things!"
Cheng Ji got an answer, snatched the spear from his soldier's hand, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and committed suicide to Cao Chao.
Cao Chao stood in the car, killing happily, but he felt a chill in his heart, and was stabbed by a hard object, and Zheng Zheng covered the wound weakly, and turned his head to look at the face of the perpetrator. Said weakly: "You... You... You ......"
Blood gushed out of his mouth, staining his clothes, and then spilling into the dirt as his body poured, staining the land scarlet.
The soldiers all stopped their movements, and the battlefield that was originally full of roars suddenly became silent. The silence was long before it was broken by the sound of knives and guns falling on the ground. Many fell to their knees and wept bitterly, heartbreakingly.
Taifu Sima Fu hurried to the palace gate, and before the horse could stop, he jumped off the horse and almost stumbled. Crying, he ran a few steps forward, sat down next to Cao Chao's corpse, and put Cao Chao's head on his lap.
"Your Majesty is killed, my sin is also!
After crying a few times, Sima Fu looked at Jia Chong coldly and said, "Who killed the king?
His words were full of anger, so that Jia Chong didn't dare to look up. Sima Fu is a Taifu, who has a high reputation in the court, and is Sima Yi's brother and Sima Zhao's uncle, and his status in the Sima family is also very high.
Jia Chong couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to say: "It was the prince who gave up people to help him." ”
"Take it down for me and kill the three clans!"
"Taifu, Cheng Ji is an official after all, and he should tell the general and then deal with it. ”
"Go, give me instructions!"
When Sima Zhao learned that Cao Chao's generals left the palace and were killed by Cheng Ji at the palace gate, he felt that the earth was spinning for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he was already kneeling on the ground. The emperor died, and the courtiers killed him.
Everyone knows that Cheng Ji is a close minister of the Sima clan, and now that he killed the emperor, isn't he telling his subordinates that the killing of the monarch was at the behest of his Sima Zhao. How should this stigma be cleared up by killing the monarch with a minister, and it is a great rebellion? Fortunately, his uncle Sima Fu had already arrived at the scene, and he could be regarded as expressing his attitude on behalf of the Sima family.
Nezha expressed a very strong disdain for what happened today. The way to express it is to pull Cao Chao's soul and sit on the city wall and spit.
Cao Chao was also vomiting, it was the first time he didn't talk about his appearance so much. If it is easy to die, there are some, but it is not much easier. The country was probably really lost in his hands, and when he went down to the underworld later, he didn't know how to face the previous emperors.
The goal can be regarded as achieved, if Sima Zhao cannot be killed, he must force Sima Zhao to kill the king, and this stain will be forever imprinted on the reputation of the Sima family, so that they will be spurned forever.
When Sima Fu hugged his body and cried bitterly, his saliva fell on Sima Fu's head, but unfortunately there was a difference between life and death, and he couldn't really hit the old man's head.
Nezha was a little puzzled and asked, "Sima Fu is acting in such pain, isn't it your loyal minister? Why do you still spit on him?"
Cao Chao said coldly: "This old thing is just a superficial article. When Cao Fang was deposed to the throne, he was the first to sign the chapter. ”
Nezha was surprised: "There are still such people in this world now?"
"There are not many such people, and nine out of ten in the court are of different hearts. It's a pity that those of us who are emperors can only suffer grievances. ”
"The emperor of your Wei State has been wronged, and the emperor of the Han family has also had a few grievances, it seems that being an emperor is not a comfortable thing. ”
Cao Chao nodded, and spat at Sima Fu again.
