Chapter 717: Do you want to die?
A penny?
In the main hall, from Cao Cao to the ministers, a pair of surprised eyes were all stared at the copper coin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Fa Xiaozhi, what are you playing ......?"
Ma Chao was about to question on the spot, but Cao Cao flicked his hand and sneered: "Interesting, let Xiaozhi continue." β
Ma Chao had no choice but to shut up.
Fa Zheng raised the copper coin in his hand, and said seriously: "This copper coin has both sides of the front and back, let's throw this copper coin to test the will of heaven, if it is head-up when it lands, then it proves that the will of heaven wants the king to be the emperor and clarify the world, if it is the reverse side up, it means that the will of heaven does not want the king to be the emperor, I don't know what the king thinks?" β
Everyone suddenly realized, and then they understood the meaning of Fazheng, it turned out that it was just a means of throwing copper coins to gamble on luck.
"What do you call tempting the will of heaven, isn't this just gambling, it's ridiculous." Cao Ang immediately jumped out to object.
The rest of the ministers who praised Cao Cao as emperor also nodded and agreed, disagreeing with Fa Zheng's method.
It's no wonder that the opportunity to throw copper coins face up is fifty-fifty, which means that Cao Cao has half the chance that he can't be called emperor, the risk is too great, and of course everyone is against it.
Cao Pi saw that his eldest brother was opposed, and he also wanted to oppose it, so before he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Jia Xu again, but unexpectedly, Jia Xu was nodding to him secretly.
Cao Pi was surprised, thinking to himself what was going on with this poisoner, how could it be difficult to approve of such a child's play and absurd method of supporting Fa Zheng?
"Jia Wenhe has always been like a god, since he also supports Fazheng's tricks, I think there must be a reason......
Cao Pi's thoughts turned, and he quickly dispelled his doubts, then stood up, and said: "I think that the method of filial piety is feasible, even if it is gambling, gambling is luck, the so-called planning is in people, success is in heaven, and luck doesn't represent the will of heaven." β
Seeing that the second prince also supported Fazheng, many courtiers changed their tunes and also supported Fazheng.
On the throne, Cao Cao was silent, and his sharp eyes were always staring at Fazheng.
There was an invisible oppressive force in his eyes, as if he could see through Fazheng's body and gain insight into his heart.
When others face Cao Cao's direct gaze, they will definitely feel the hairs on their backs, and they will have a chilling feeling, and they dare not face it.
Fa Zheng was an exception, he was just playing with the copper coin in his hand, his expression was indifferent and calm, and he met Cao Cao's sharp gaze.
Cao Cao saw a hint of deep taste in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao squinted his head slightly, looked at Xun Yu, and asked, "Wen Ruo, what do you think of this proposal of filial piety?" β
"Well...... this" Xun Yu stroked his beard and fell into a trade-off.
As a loyal minister of the Han family, of course, he opposed Cao Cao's claim to be emperor, but seeing today's situation, he seemed to be weak, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stop it.
If he decided to gamble, he would still be fifty percent sure, and the copper coin would be turned face up, so that Cao Cao would not dare to be the emperor because of his previous oath and the so-called providence.
After thinking about it, Xun Yu took a light breath and arched his hand: "King, the minister thinks that this method of Fa Xiaozhi is good, if it is really God's will to make the king ascend the throne and become the emperor, the minister will naturally fully support it." β
Cao Cao nodded, and said to the ministers: "This king is originally a minister of the Han family, and he only wants to help the Han family, but now that the Han Dynasty has died, you and others persuade this king to be the emperor. β
Cao Cao recalled, and the ministers naturally didn't dare to say more, even though Cao Ang felt ridiculous, he couldn't say anything more.
Seeing that the ministers had no objections, Cao Cao nodded to Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng held the copper coin in his hand, walked to the middle of the main hall, raised it high, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Heaven, do you want my lord to be the emperor and clarify the world, just use this copper coin to show us your providence." β
With that, Fa Zheng tossed the copper coin high and threw it into the sky.
Everyone's eyes followed the coin into the air, and as it fell to the ground, they saw it tumble and spin on the ground, and finally settled.
In the main hall, everyone stretched their necks and stared at the copper coins that fell to the ground, all of them were nervous.
Only Cao Cao on the throne closed his eyes slightly, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about the result, and seemed to know the result in his chest.
"It's face up, face up!" Cao Ang was the first to see it and shouted excitedly.
The rest of the ministers also watched, all of them showing surprise on their faces, and the hall suddenly fell into a jubilant excitement.
Only Xun Yu stayed there, staring at the copper coin facing up with a dull gaze, with a bitter expression, and muttered: "It turned out to be face up, does the will of heaven really want the Han Dynasty to perish, and let Cao Qin replace him......
In the midst of sighs and sighs, Fa Zheng picked up the copper coin, put it in his sleeve casually, stepped forward, knelt in front of Cao Cao, and said: "The will of heaven is already clear, the king should be enthroned as the emperor, whoever dares to disobey is to go against the sky, and people and gods are angry!" β
Guo Jia also knelt down and arched his hand: "Four hundred years ago, it was the Han Dynasty that destroyed the old Qin, and now the king is enthroned as the emperor according to the hometown of Qin, and takes the Han Dynasty. β
"Please obey the will of heaven and the people, and become the emperorβ"
"Please obey the will of heaven and the people, and become the emperorβ"
In the main hall, all the ministers of the Qin State knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, imploring Cao Cao to be the emperor.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and he nodded slightly, but his eyes fell on Xun Yu again.
Among the ministers, only Xun Yu was still standing there, and he did not kneel down to persuade him, which was a little abrupt.
Cao Cao's eagle eyes, sharp as blades, looked at Xun Yu coldly, and the two monarchs and ministers confronted each other so silently.
Xun Yu knew that he had no choice, and it was difficult to ride a tiger today, so he had to make a choice:
To support or not to support Cao Cao's claim to be emperor!
After being embarrassed for a moment and hesitating for a moment, Xun Yu finally lowered his head, shook his head and sighed secretly, knelt down on his knees, and arched his hand: "Please obey the will of heaven and become the emperor." β
Finally, all the ministers in the hall knelt down, and even Xun Yu, who had always supported the Han Dynasty, publicly expressed his persuasion to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao smiled.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Cao Teng stood up, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Since the will of heaven is like this, how can this king go against the sky, this king will wait for the invitation, and hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in a few days, ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and inherit the unification." β
In the main hall, the ministers were jubilant and excited, especially the generals of the Xiahou clan, the Cao clan and other clans, who were even more excited.
Cao Ang stood with his hands in his hands, and the excitement in his eyes was irrepressible, as if he had longed for the glory of Cao Cao when he ascended the throne and became the crown prince.
He didn't notice that his younger brother Cao Pi was quietly glancing at him, and his eyes were a little cold.
Under the proposal of ascending the throne, Cao Cao withdrew his ministers and asked them to prepare for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens.
The ministers retired, but Cao Cao only left Fa Zheng, the biggest hero who persuaded himself today, if it weren't for Fa Zheng, Cao Cao really didn't know how to justifiably agree to be the emperor.
"Xiaozhi, today's matter, you have really made this king take a risk, if the copper coin is face up, what are you going to do?" Cao Cao summoned Fa Zheng to the front and asked with a smile.
"That's impossible, I'm sure the copper coin will be face up!" Fa Zheng looked confident.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with wonder, but he asked: "This king really wants to know, why are you so confident, a supreme wise man like you should not believe that there is really any providence." β
Fa Zheng smiled, and the corners of his mouth raised a treacherous color, "The minister doesn't believe in any providence, but the minister believes in the copper coin in my hand." β
As he spoke, Fa Zheng took the copper coin out of his sleeve and gave it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was curious, so he took the copper coin, flipped it left and right, and was stunned at first, and then a sudden realization appeared in his eyes.
It turned out that this copper coin was the same on both sides, both of which were positive.
"I see, Fa Xiaozhi, you, you, haha......" Cao Cao, who was in a trance, couldn't help laughing.
Fa Zheng also laughed.
In the main hall, the meaningful laughter of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State echoed, and everything was silent.
β¦β¦
Yejing.
The mighty Wei army marched high along the northbound avenue, and the dazzling "Wei" imperial flags were hunting and flying in the wind, showing the domineering spirit.
In the endless procession, the potter rode a white horse, dressed in gold armor, with a red cloak flying on his back, exuding a fierce imperial aura all over his body.
The outline of Yejing has come into view, from Xudu to Yecheng, the potter walked for a whole month, and finally returned to this long-lost northern capital.
Since Xudu was proclaimed emperor, more than a month has passed, during which the pottery merchants did two things, one was to quell the sequelae of the rebellion in the Xudu area, and to deal a bloody blow to those who participated in the rebellion, and at the same time announced the abolition of the status of the capital of Xudu, and re-reduced it to ordinary Xuchang County.
The second thing the potter did was to spend a month on his first hunting tour since he ascended the throne and became emperor.
Starting from Xuchang, the potters first passed through Liangdi to the east, and then passed through Pei County to the east, and patrolled to Xiapi.
After a few days in Xuzhou, the state where he had started, the potter traveled north to Qingzhou, then returned west along the Yellow River, inspecting the counties along the river in Yanzhou, and finally crossed the Yellow River at Liyang before heading to Yejing.
The pottery merchants visited the Central Plains this time, one is to inspect the economic recovery of the counties and counties in the Central Plains, and the other is to show the subjects of the Central Plains the dragon power of their new emperor.
After all, the four states of Yanxu, Qingyu and Henan in the Central Plains are the foundation of the world, and it is precisely because of the Central Plains states that the pottery merchants can take Hebei in the north and Jingyang in the south, which has laid the status and territory of the Great Wei today.
After a month of inspecting the Central Plains, the potters finally returned to Yejing today.
The people of Yejing have already learned the news that the potters are called emperors, and on the day of the return of the Son of Heaven, every family is full of lights, and the people are empty, kneeling on both sides of the royal street, to welcome the return of the potters.
Under the support of the people kneeling down and the mountains calling long live, the potters rode their horses into the city, enjoyed the supreme glory of the emperor, and returned to the palace in high spirits.
At the palace gate, Queen Mulan, with a group of concubines, as well as the crown prince Tao Ding, as well as several young princes and young princes who had not been born for a long time, were already waiting there.
As early as when the potters attacked Wu, they had already received good news, Mi Zhen, Lu Lingji, Zhang Chunhua and other concubines were pregnant, and the "multiple sons" talent that the potters got from Zhang Chunhua finally played a role.
More than a year has passed since the pottery merchant went from cutting down Wu to destroying Shu, and when he returned today, the little prince and the little princess were almost one year old.
Looking at the concubines who had been absent for a long time, and looking at their own flesh and blood children, the potter was very happy and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Your Majesty, this is the information that Yan and Qin have just sent, do you want to take a look at it first." Zhang Yi hurriedly approached and handed over the report.
"Don't show me yet." The potter waved his hand, interrupted him, and said with a smile: "I have been separated from all the concubines for so long, and today the sky is falling, so I have to let it go first, and I want to comfort and comfort the concubines who have been lonely for a long time." β
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then understood, and retreated with a low smile.
The potter turned over and dismounted, strode towards the concubines with open arms, and laughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am back, do you want to be me!" β
