The third year of Han Jingsui (223).

Three years have passed in a flash.

In the past few years, the three sides have basically been recuperating and recuperating, and no major military operations have taken place, except for some small-scale conflicts and wars in some parts of the border.

Cao Cao, the king of Wei, also died of serious injuries in March this year at the age of more than 68.

Guan Ping also led the generals of his headquarters to garrison Shangyong and Xiangyang, an important town under Kou Feng, to build the most stable defense line in Jingbei.

After Guan Ping's persuasion at that time, Liu Feng meditated hard and then made a difficult decision, changed back to his original surname, and gave up the idea of inheriting the inheritance.

With the death of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, Cao Pi, the son of the king, succeeded him and became the new king of Wei.

……

Wei Palace.

At this moment, all the civil and military forces gathered in the palace to express their opinions and discuss the great rebellion.

During the banquet, the imperial historian Hua Xin suddenly held the wine lord, and said bluntly: "King Qiwei, the ancestor of the lord once started at the end of the micro, led the weak soldiers to repeatedly defeat the strong enemy, and finally became a great cause, which has an extremely deep prestige to deter all the people in the world, which also makes the world divided into three, but the two kingdoms of Shu and Wu are not to worry about!" ”

"But until now, the ancestor of the princess has passed away, and the pseudo-Shu Liu Bei'er has established himself as the king of Hanzhong, intending to fight against our heavenly army, for the sake of the country, the king of Wei should immediately bring the civil and military ministers and all the subjects to burn incense and pray together, inform the emperor of the queen of heaven, and then succeed to the emperor's throne, in order to order the world to crusade against the traitor."

In a word.

Hua Xin said almost unabashedly, so bluntly.

Up to now, the so-called Han family has long been that there are no Han ministers except the Son of Heaven, and the courtiers loyal to the Han family have long been uprooted and wiped out.

"This ......"

Hearing this, Cao Pi also showed ecstasy in his heart, but how could he show such urgency on his face, so he couldn't help but show a panic on his face: "Hua Yushi, such rebellious words must not be said again in the future." ”

"The lone king is just inheriting his father's throne, he has no trust to the people of the state and county, and he has no meritorious achievements and is still alive today, how can Lone He De ascend to the position of the Son of Heaven?"

"Gu Ying will do his best to assist the Son of Heaven to sweep the four seas, unify the Han Dynasty, and establish a great cause that will be famous for the ages."

After a few words, how could the ministers not see through Cao Pi's intentions.

Immediately, Hua Xin's wine seemed to be stronger, and he hiccuped, and couldn't help but say again: "King Wei's words are different!" Today's troubled times are caused by the Han family's lack of morality, when today's son is neither talented nor capable, if it is not for the critical moment when the lord rescues the Son of Heaven and helps the needy, how can the Son of Heaven get out of trouble from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry like the army of tigers and wolves? ”

"If there is no ancestor lord, how can the northern states settle down and the people feel at peace?"

When the words fell, he pretended to take a sip of wine again, his tone was a little slower, and he continued: "Since the King of Wei inherited everything for the son of the ancestor lord, and the Great Wei has so many kindness and achievements, how can the Son of Heaven be forcibly occupied by virtue if he follows the actions of Yao and Shun Xingchan and pass on the position of the Son of Heaven to the virtuous?" ”

In a word.

The palace suddenly boiled.

"I also ask the King of Wei to pray to the Emperor Tianhou Earth, that is, the position of the Son of Heaven."

"I also hope that the King of Wei will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and the ministers are willing to escort you."

For a time, not only the ministers admonished, but even Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang and other clan generals also cheered loudly.

From this point of view, the act of acting on behalf of the Han Dynasty has been expected.

But what a shrewd person Cao Pi was, how could he agree so easily, he still pretended to be sincerely afraid, and said with a face full of medium and polite observance: "Hua Yushi is drunk, why don't you take him down to rest?" ”

As soon as the words fell, several palace guards immediately broke into the door and dragged Hua Xin down.

"Huh?"

Subsequently, Cao Pi threw off his robe and left angrily.

"King of Wei, King of Wei......"

……

Back in the dormitory, Cao Pi sat in a few places on the desk and recalled the admonition of today's ministers, and his heart was also inexplicably excited, and he always felt that there was a warm fire burning in his chest.

After thinking for a while, Cao Pi couldn't help waving his hand in joy, and said loudly to the guards: "You will go and secretly summon the master Bo Sima Yi to come quickly, and you will discuss important matters." ”

As soon as the words came out, the palace guards immediately gave up the order.

About two quarters of an hour's work.

The crisp footsteps outside the palace hurriedly rose, and then Sima Yi, who was in an official uniform, couldn't help but rush into the palace and hurriedly bowed: "The minister Sima Zhongda visited the King of Wei, I don't know if the King of Wei summoned the minister to have something important?" ”

"Zhong Da Ping."

Subsequently, after the maid arranged for Sima Yi to sit down and retreat, only the two monarchs and ministers were left in the palace, and then Cao Pi couldn't help but say with a serious face: "Zhongda, what do you think of today's banquet?" ”

Hearing this, Sima Yi had already expected it, and said with a deep sigh: "King Wei, the change of dynasty is a matter of expectation, you must not chill the hearts of the ministers, the first king has completely eliminated the remnants of the Han family when he was alive, and now the court is the old ministers promoted by the previous king." ”

"If King Wei ascends the throne, there will be no resistance!"

After these words were settled, he thought about it for a while, and then said slowly: "What the King of Wei is thinking about is nothing more than what the Son of Heaven should do if he refuses to practice meditation, right?" ”

"Zhongda's words are just right."

After hearing this, Cao Pi echoed again and again, and then said: "This is exactly what Lone is worried about, if the Son of Heaven is unwilling to give in today, and I force the Son of Heaven to abolish the Son of Heaven by force, it will be criticized, and it will inevitably become a favorable weapon for the pseudo-Shu to attack Lone." ”

As soon as these words fell, Sima Yi laughed a few times, and said with a smile: "This move King Wei doesn't have to worry, if the ministers don't expect, the ministers at this time are estimated to have gone to Xu Capital under the leadership of Hua Yushi to put pressure on the Son of Heaven and force him to give in." ”

"And this matter does not need the King of Wei to come forward, just refuse the Zen concession of the Son of Heaven three times, and show the people of the world that you are a humble gentleman, loyal to the monarch and patriotic noble character."

With Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi suddenly became enlightened.

But after a moment of silence, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "If the Son of Heaven is obsessed and resolutely unwilling to give in, what should I do?" ”

When these words fell, Sima Yi's expression changed instantly, and he suddenly sneered, and then said in a deep voice: "King Wei, the ministers have a strategy, which can not only help the courtiers to force the Son of Heaven to concede, but also relieve the troubles of the King of Wei in one fell swoop!" ”

"What's the solution?"

Hearing this, Cao Pi's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"The Marquis of Yanling of Yuyang County of the Summoning Tun Army sent three thousand elite Youyan knights south to enter Xu, supplemented by military deterrence, and intensified the persecution of the Son of Heaven, so how dare the Son of Heaven disobey?"

After speaking, Sima Yi said with a cold face: "Not only that, after King Wei ascends the throne and becomes emperor, you can also entitle the Marquis of Yanling, a high-ranking official in name only, to stay in the court and strictly guard it, so as to prevent him from returning to Youyan's hometown and continuing to pose a threat to King Wei." ”

"The land of Youyan is the foundation of its operation for many years, and the Youyan Knight is his most extremely valuable combat power, as long as the King of Wei can prevent him from returning to his hometown and deprive him of the leadership of the Youyan Knight, then no matter how brave the Marquis of Yanling is, he will be firmly controlled by the King of Wei in the palm of his hand!"

As soon as the word came out, Cao Pi made up his mind to adopt this policy.

Cao Zhang has a heavy army in his hands and is stationed in his hometown, and there are many hidden dangers, how can he rest assured?

At the beginning of his succession as King of Wei, he forced his younger brother Cao Zhi to make a seven-step poem, and if it weren't for his mother Bian's appearance, Cao Zhi would not have escaped the fear of his life.

For Cao Zhang, who has a heavy army and has an extremely strong reputation in the military, how can Cao Pi not be afraid?

Sima Yi's policy, although Cao Pi did not reveal anything on the surface, he also secretly recorded that as soon as Cao Zhang arrived in Xu Capital, he would be deprived of his rights and imprisoned!

The plan has been decided.

Xudu, inside the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the ministers led by Hua Xin were forcing the palace: "Your Majesty, this world was created by the first king, if there is no great kindness and righteousness of the first king, I am afraid that Your Majesty has already been harmed by the Xiliang rebels!" ”

"And the former king and the princes of all walks of life and the rebellious ministers and thieves, the great cause of the Han dynasty, although he is now deceased, but the king of Wei is kind-hearted, and he can indeed bring great honor and favor to the people of the world."

"I also hope that Your Majesty will plan for the world, and Zen will be conceded to King Wei."

"You...... You guys? ”

For a while, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was already over forty years old, stood high above the temple, looking at the people below who knelt on the ground but forced him to Zen with a tough attitude, his face was filled with endless anger but powerless looks.

Since the assassination of Cao Cao happened three years ago, only the remaining old ministers of the Han family have been cut down again, and their families have been exterminated.

Now he can be said to be the commander of the light pole, and he is really alone.

In the face of the persecution of his ministers, what can he do?

If you don't agree, how long can you delay?

Could it be that the presumptuousness of the ministers is not what Cao Pi wants to see, and is it not what he indulges?

After many years of puppet emperor career, Liu Xie's mind has long been meticulous, and he can see this better than anyone else.

Will he be able to do it if he doesn't agree?

"Zhu Aiqing, your ancestors are all eating Han Lu and giving Han positions, and now that the Han Dynasty is facing danger, don't you think about Kuang Jun and Auxiliary Country but do this great rebellious thing, don't you blush?"

At this time, Liu Xie endured too many grievances, and at this moment, he couldn't help but pour out his heart, roaring angrily to the ministers.

Hearing this, Hua Xin said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is precisely for the sake of the great Han River and the safety of Your Majesty that you strongly persuade Your Majesty to practice meditation. ”

……

For several days, the ministers all went to the Han Emperor to let Chan, just when the dispute continued, Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, suddenly led the elite knights of the headquarters to Xudu, stationed outside the city, and shocked the Quartet.

With the coercion of one soft and one hard, Liu Xie couldn't bear the pressure after all, and agreed to let Chan give way to King Wei.

But at this moment, Cao Pi refused to give in, and still bluntly said that he was willing to serve the Son of Heaven as the main thing, and he did not hesitate to escort the Han Dynasty.

On the other hand, the Han Emperor Liu Xie was humiliated again, and Cao Pi was forced to reluctantly accept it for the third time.

……

In the third year of Han Jingsui, in early July.

On this day, the mighty cars, ministers, and people rushed to Mount Tai.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty held a Zen ceremony on the top of Mount Tai, officially holding the jade seal to Cao Pi, the king of Wei, and Cao Pi also burned incense and prayed to the emperor after receiving the jade seal, announcing the official start of the enthronement ceremony.

Ascending to the throne, Cao Pi first changed the name of the country to Wei, and changed the Yuan Huang Chu, with this year as the first year of the Huang Chu.

Subsequently, Emperor Cao Pi of Wei was awarded the title of Duke of Shanyang County for Liu Xie's meritorious service, in order to highlight the danger of the Great Wei.

Later, he took the imperial historian Hua Xin as the prime minister, and changed the position of the prime minister to Situ.

He was given the post of Taiwei Jia Xu, and Sima Yi, the son of the prince, took over the post of Shangshu, and Chen Qun was the secretary of Shang, and he was promoted to the Marquis of Yingxiang.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Pi took Xiahou Dun as the general to control the armies of the Great Wei, and worshiped Cao Ren as the general of the chariot cavalry, supervised the military of Jing, Yang, and Yizhu, sealed the Marquis of Chen, and increased the city by 2,000.

In the end, Emperor Cao Pi of Wei announced an amnesty for the world, except for those who committed the most heinous crimes, they could be exempted from death!

For a while, with the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, the northern states were suddenly mighty.

……

As a result, the situation in the world has changed dramatically.

Jianye.

Wu Hou Mansion.

Wu Hou Sun Quan stood in front of the hall, holding the information sent by the northern spies, and then couldn't help sighing: "Cao Cao has been mourned, Cao Pi is self-reliant on behalf of the Han, what should Gu do next?" ”

Meanwhile.

Inside the city of Chengdu.

When he heard the news of the death of the Great Han, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, was even more grief-stricken and fainted in an instant.
