Chapter 171: Cao Pi and Cao Zhang
Cao Pi finally came one step earlier, one step earlier at this time, and at this time, one step earlier can determine the victory!
Chen Qun's shout stopped the army, causing Xiahoudun at the front to clench his spear, and a dangerous light flashed in his single eye.
Cao Pi stopped the carriage and waited for Chen Qun to come to him, looking at the rather embarrassed Chen Qun, Cao Pi's heart was also full of bad taste at this time.
"Is my father really gone?" Cao Pi asked in a cold voice, "Before the expedition, my father's body was still healthy, why did it become like this in just a few months?" ”
Chen Qun looked at the fact that it was already at this time, and he was still questioning himself how Cao Cao could die now, and a trace of anger suddenly rose in his heart, where is the love of children at this time, what should be done at this time is to use the fastest speed to make himself the new King of Wei!
"Shizi!" Chen Qun's face was full of anger, "No, King Wei, stabilizing the situation at this time is the right way, as for the rest of these small things, let's let them go first..."
Before Chen Qun's words were finished, he was interrupted by Cao Pi's angry reprimand, "Chen Changwen, the person who passed away was the father of so-and-so, and so-and-so is asking you now, how did the father and the king pass away so quickly!" ”
Chen Qun was frightened by this sudden outburst, he didn't know why, why Cao Pi, the prince of the world who had been obedient to his words before, was so abnormal today, in such a place and at this time, he reprimanded himself so loudly.
"King Wei...."
"Don't call a certain King of Wei, a certain family is just the son of the king appointed by his father, and he has never been the king of Wei!" Cao Pi shouted loudly, stopped Chen Qun's words, and then said to Xiahoudun, "Uncle, I want to trouble my uncle to protect this Luoyang City, don't let some idle people disturb my father, a certain family is going to see my father!" ”
Xiahoudun nodded, and then waved his hand, "The army listens to the order!" Patrol the city defense and guard the four gates! ”
"No!"
The army took over the defense of Luoyang City under the leadership of Xiahoudun, as a general who guarded the rear of Cao's town all the year round, Xiahoudun and Xun Wenruo's article and martial arts brought Cao Cao a stable rear, in the army, perhaps Xiahoudun's prestige is not the strongest, and in the eyes of the enemy, perhaps Xiahoudun's threat is not great, and it can even be said that he is a defeated general.
But in the Cao army, Xiahoudun's prestige is the greatest, it is not an exaggeration to call it the head of a hundred generals, and in the eyes of the enemy, Xiahoudun's difficulty is also not to be despised by people, they are not afraid of generals who can fight well, nor are they afraid of generals who win all battles, these people have a way to deal with them, but they are afraid of being like Xiahoudun, who will quietly widen the gap between the enemy and me, and then the generals who are extremely favored, so that people don't know how to deal with it!
At this time, the appearance of Xiahoudun was like a needle of the sea god, which firmly guarded Luoyang.
Cao Pi quickly rushed to Cao Cao's residence with a carriage, at this time Cao Cao had been reorganized, and the room was thoroughly cleaned by the Tiger Guards, and even a few incense sticks were specially lit in order to get rid of the smell of blood.
Cao Cao changed into a royal robe and lay quietly on the bed, Cao Cao's face at this time had no pain or headache, as if he was sleeping peacefully.
When Cao Pi arrived, he saw this picture, Cao Cao lying on the bed, Xu Chu guarding him with a big sword in a helmet and armor, and the tiger guards who were waiting for him, so that Cao Cao's last majesty was perfectly displayed.
"Father...."At this time, Cao Pi seemed to be unable to accept this matter, his eyes overflowed with sincere tears, and he rushed to Cao Cao's side crying.
"Father, my son is late! It's late! As soon as Cao Pi's knees were weak, he knelt directly on the edge of Cao Cao's bed, touched Cao Cao's face with his hands, tears fell down in a torrent, and the tears that couldn't be stopped no matter what, as well as the miserable choking sound, made the people in the room can't help but become sad.
Accompanying him was the princess of Wei, who was also over fifty years old, and looked at the sad Cao Pi, and it was inevitable that all kinds of feelings would arise in his heart.
Bian's family is not a lady from a famous family, and it can even be said that Bian's background is extremely bad, Bian's ancestral home is the same Lang evil as Zhuge Kongming, a heavy minister under Liu Bei, but the difference is that the Zhuge family is a well-known scholarly family of Lang evil, and Bian's is a more famous singer family.
The Bian family from the ancestors is to sing the singer as a business, can be said to be the lower nine of the lower nine streams, when Bian was born quite a vision, his father specially invited the master Wang Dan to show the Bian family, and finally came to the conclusion that there is a rich and noble appearance.
Although the master said this, when the Bian family was older, it was inevitable that he would enter the family business like the other sisters in the family, wander around to perform songs and dances for people, and then win the laughter of the guests in exchange for some survival money!
It wasn't until he was over twenty years old that he came to the ancestral land of Cao Mengde, the king of Wei, one day, that he ushered in the biggest turning point in her life!
At that time, Cao Mengde, who was still the Taishou of Dongjun, had to avoid disaster and return to his hometown because of the chaos in the court, and Cao Cao, who still had great hopes for the Han Dynasty at that time, became a little discouraged because of the corruption in the court, and then simply returned to his hometown in anger to live in seclusion and built a luxurious villa, (the word villa, which first appeared in the Han Dynasty, described a luxurious courtyard and exquisite pavilions, this thing was not imported from abroad.) )
The most thing to do every day is to hunt and wander, quite a bit of wandering, and then Cao Cao, who is so dissolute himself, saw Bian, who was still beautiful like a flower in his twenties, and Cao Cao was fallen by her in an instant.
Regardless of the opposition of the family, and without taking into account the mood of his wife Ding, he married Bian as a concubine and returned home!
Since then, the Bian family has been the concubine of the Cao family, accompanying Cao Cao day and night, and even quickly left Cao Cao with a son, Cao Pi!
When Cao Cao was conquered by He Jin again, Cao Cao once again entered the center of the vortex of the Han dynasty in Luoyang, and the Ding family with his eldest son Cao Ang was still in his hometown, only the Bian family, who was a concubine, took Cao Pi who was still in infancy and followed Cao Cao to Luoyang, I have to say that in that completely unknown situation, daring to take her son to follow her husband to Luoyang kind of place, Bian can be regarded as a bold and careful strange woman!
And then Bian's behavior is known as a model of a good wife and mother, she not only left Cao Cao with Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Xiong's four sons, but also not jealous, not ostentatious, take care of the family with peace of mind, do not let Cao Cao's backyard catch fire, and is not autocratic, among all the Cao clansmen, the status of this sister-in-law is very special.
Especially at the beginning, the relationship between Ding and Cao Cao was not Mu, and his son, Cao Ang, the eldest son of the Cao family, and Cao Cao was very bad.
After the Luoyang Incident, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, at this time the general He Jin had died, the young emperor Liu Wei was incompetent, Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and established Liu Xie, seeing Cao Cao's courage and ability, he thought of setting up Cao Cao as the captain of the Xiao cavalry and reused it for him.
It's a pity that Cao Cao knew that Dong Zhuo had angered the world and would not last long, so he resigned from his official position, and then fled overnight in order to prevent retaliation, and he didn't know where to go.
Soon, one of Cao Cao's friends, Runan County Shou Yuan Shu, brought the news of Cao Cao's death to the Cao family, at this time, this kind of news suddenly made the Cao family panic, everyone expressed their opinions, and the ultimate goal was to break up the gang, that is, his subordinates all wanted to return to their hometowns as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong!
At that time, Bian, who was only a concubine, followed his family to the north and south because he was young, although he was a woman, but he had a unique vision and was well-informed.
When she heard that Cao Cao's soldiers were also leaving, she couldn't help but be very anxious, regardless of identity and etiquette, she walked out of the house directly to the barracks, and began to preach to Cao Cao's soldiers, telling them that now Cao Cao doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he can't say goodbye and return to his hometown because of a rumor, if Cao Cao is not dead, after returning home, what face will they have to meet the master, if they leave at this time, then their reputation will be really ruined!
It was because of Bian's words in this situation that they stabilized their military morale and kept them from leaving directly, laying a solid foundation for Cao Cao's later publication of the article and the raising of troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
For this reason, Cao Cao praised Bian's style of a general in front of everyone more than once, and he was his own virtuous helper!
Waiting for the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao once again because of a woman's mistake, this time not only directly defeated, but also sent his eldest son down, for this, the eldest son Cao Ang's biological mother Ding became a monk in a rage, and after Cao Cao reconciled, he no longer asked about the world.
Although Cao Cao also felt very sorry for his eldest son and original partner, but at this time, he refused to admit his mistake, and quickly straightened the Bian family, making her the rightful head mother of the Cao family, but this kind of thing was not denied by anyone, but was unanimously approved by the Cao clan.
After Bian became the main mother, instead of becoming more serious or majestic, she became more kind, and used her way to deal with the backyard of the Cao family in an orderly manner, no matter how many women Cao Cao brought back, she not only did not care, but managed it very reasonably, and even some people like Mrs. Liu who died early, and personally raised the young sons they left behind, whether it was Cao Zhen adopted by Cao Cao, or the orphan of the minister Dianman, the son of Dian Wei, or any other child, Bian regarded it as his own!
This point has made the prestige of the Bian family rise to the sky, for so many years, whether it is the Qin family who is as beautiful as a fairy, or the same as her, Lai Ying'er, who is not from a good background, or any other woman, no one can shake her status.
Even the children he raised with his own hands, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang, not to mention for the time being, Cao Xiu, who came thousands of miles to invest, Cao Zhen, who was raised since childhood, or Qin Lang brought by the Qin family, were all educated very well, especially those biological sons, except for Cao Xiong, who was weak and sick since childhood, the remaining three are the envy of the whole world.
At this time, Bian watched his eldest son Cao Pi crying in pain under Cao Cao's bed, and kept beating his chest, although he knew that this son had a big reason to put on a show, but he had to admit one thing, that is, his son was really suitable in some cases!
"Husband, the concubine knows that what you want is Zhang'er, but for the sake of your great cause, the concubine can only go against your wishes again, after all, the concubine can't always be by his side, and those people won't give up." After silently apologizing to Cao Cao in his heart, Bian stepped into the room.
"Enough!" A loud shout made Cao Pi stop crying, and at the same time, everyone's eyes gathered, "Except for General Xu Chu, the rest of the people go out!" ”
Bian's request was actually a bit rude, but at this time, everyone obeyed Mrs. Bian's order, including Cao Pi and Chen Qun at the back, silently retreated, closed the door, and left Mrs. Bian and Xu Chu to guard Cao Cao.
"General Xu Chu!" Bian turned his gaze to Xu Chu, he knew that if his husband had anything to explain, he would definitely tell this guy that he was one of his husband's most trusted generals!
"The end will be here!"
"My lord, what do you have to say?" Mrs. Bian said very bluntly, without the slightest concealment, "If not, then please ask the general to tell the concubine everything about the king in the past few days, every word and deed!" ”
Xu Chu looked at Mrs. Bian with a flat face, but he couldn't say anything to refuse at this time, and after bowing, he said everything that happened in these days.
"In other words, the king's death today is inseparable from that Chen Qun?" Mrs. Bian walked to the edge of the bed, sat next to Cao Cao, looked at the old face, and couldn't help but sneer, "You old thing, you have been a traitor all your life, why can't you look at it like this!" ”
"Princess!" Xu Chu took a few steps back, he didn't want to disturb the Bian family and his lord at this time, so he wanted to withdraw and leave the space for the two of them.
But as soon as he made a move, he was stopped by Mrs. Bian!
"General Xu Chu, you can't leave yet, there are some things that you need to go to in person!"
"Madame, please!"
"Before, the king said to let Zhang'er come to see him, but I hope the general knows that the situation at this time is different from then, Pi'er has come, and the concubine knows that this is very unfair to Zhang'er, but the concubine doesn't want their brothers to have any problems, and they don't want them to be used, so the concubine hopes that General Xu Chu will personally go and persuade Zhang'er to go back, even if he comes now, it will be useless, if you really want to blame, then let this child blame him for being an incompetent mother!"
When he said this, Bian's tears fell in a pour, and Bian's at this time was not as miserable as Cao Pi just now, but it made people feel more sincere.
After Xu Chu heard these words, he looked at the Bian family who was accompanying Cao Cao, he knew that this matter was somewhat against Cao Cao's wishes, but he believed that this woman would not harm the Cao family and would not let her husband's efforts come to naught.
"Don't worry, the princess, the last general will set off here, and promise to let Akishiko go back!"
"Thank you, General!" Bian Shi bowed respectfully, and then when Xu Chu walked to the door, he added again, "General rest assured, even if the concubine body gives up this old life, it will not let their group of people succeed, this Cao family's country, the concubine body will definitely not let people touch it!" ”
When Xu Chu heard this, he didn't say anything, nor did he express anything, but after a slight pause, he opened the door and walked out!
At this time, in the room, only Mrs. Bian and the late Cao Cao were left, at this time, Mrs. Bian suddenly fell on Cao Cao's chest, feeling the corpse that had slowly become stiff, and a tear fell from the corner of Mrs. Bian's eyes.
"The concubine is just a singer, if it weren't for the general, the concubine might have died in the wilderness at this time, and this life must be a sound of displacement, a sound of misery and misery, only the general does not dislike that he was over twenty years old back then, and he is old and decrepit, and insists on giving the concubine a home!"
(In ancient times, a woman could be said to marry at the age of thirteen, and when Bian married Cao Cao, she was already in her early twenties, and she basically couldn't marry at this age, not to mention that she was still a woman from the singer family, so that Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao could take a fancy to it, and it can indeed be said to be a blessing for several generations.) )
"Now that you are leaving so quietly, leaving such a mess, you old guy is simply gone, and your children and grandchildren are not allowed to clean it up for you? Zhang'er is certainly a hero, with Zhang'er, these children and grandchildren of the Cao family are naturally safe, but open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend, do you only think that Cao Chang will not kill them, don't you think they will be willing?
If Zhang'er succeeds to the throne, where will those people give up such an opportunity, and still think about how to persuade Pi'er and Zhi'er to rebel? Pi'er has the world in his heart, and he will not give up, although Zhi'er is weak, but he is talented and sparse, when someone comes forward to persuade him, he must not be able to resist the temptation, at that time, it is the real disaster for the Cao family, so the concubine can only stand against the king!
But although the king can rest assured, even if the concubines fight for their lives, they will save their lives, and they will not let Pi'er kill in vain, and what you have always seen in your eyes is Zhi'er's literary brilliance, Zhang'er's bravery and strategy, and even Chong'er's intelligence back then, you never open your eyes to look at your eldest son, unconsciously, he has also grown up, this chaotic situation, he will solve it well, you can rest assured! ”
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Bian got up, sorted out her clothes, opened the door and appeared in front of everyone again.
"Mother!" Cao Pi walked up to Mrs. Bian and wanted to hold on to her mother.
But as soon as he came over, before he could make a move, Mrs. Bian slapped Cao Pi directly in the face, "Now is the opportunity for the Cao family's survival, is it possible that you still want to have children here?" Do you think that those who weep in front of your father and the king have filial piety? ”
Cao Pi was a little stunned by his mother's slap, although Cao Pi was also taught by Mrs. Bian since childhood, and he was reprimanded and scolded by his mother, but since the day his identity became the eldest son of the Cao family, his mother has never beaten him again.
In Mrs. Bian's words, he is the eldest son of the Cao family, so he naturally has the majesty of the eldest son, and he can't be scolded and beaten for a trivial matter, which will make his character weak.
At this time, Mrs. Bian slapped her son in the face in front of so many people, and even in Chen Qun's shocked face, Cao Pi was completely stunned.
"Mother!" Cao Pi looked at Bian with a shocked face, not knowing why he wanted to lose face like this at this time, "Mother is angry, if the son does something wrong, he will naturally correct himself, don't be angry!" ”
However, Cao Pi's explanation did not get Bian's forgiveness, but was slapped again, which woke him up!
Cao Pi knelt directly in front of his mother Bian, "Mother rest assured, the child is awake!" ”
"Since you are awake, let's go and prepare, and directly succeed to the throne of your father, King Wei, and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!" After Bian and Cao Pi said this, they ignored him, but turned their heads to look at Chen Qun, who had been stunned, "Lord Chen, I hope you can help Pi'er and help him successfully ascend to the throne of King Wei!" ”
Chen Qun, who felt that he should have been like this a long time ago, naturally did not refuse, and immediately surrendered his hand and promised, "Obey the order of the Queen Mother!" ”
But Chen Qun, who left, didn't see that after he turned around, a pair of eyes were staring at his back with an unkind gaze until he completely disappeared from his gaze!
It wasn't until Chen Qun walked away that Mrs. Bian walked to Cao Pi's side and helped him up.
"Pi'er, you remember, you are the son of the Cao family, you can use the power of others, but you can't become the power of other people, none of these people in the family are sincere to you, your father was eloquent and talented, and he was still abandoned by them, Jiangdong Sun Bofu also died in their hands, you remember, you can use their strength, but you can't rely on them, you have to distinguish the priority!"
"Erchen understands!"
"Then remember today's humiliation, this humiliation is for you to remember, someone has seen your embarrassment, remember him!"
"Erchen understands!"
As the saying goes, the son Mo Ruomu, even though Cao Pi pretends to be fair and strict outside, gentle and elegant, and appoints people on the basis of merit, but as the mother who brought him up, Bian knows that his son loves face very much, and the last thing he can do is to lose his face in front of outsiders.
Today, Chen Qun saw his embarrassment, although in Chen Qun's eyes, it was not enough to educate his son, but in Cao Pi's eyes, he would remember Chen Qun for a lifetime and guard against him for a lifetime, even if Chen Qun was once his confidant, it was the same, these families headed by Chen Qun would also be remembered by Cao Pi in his heart, this is the matter of Bian's own husband in the camp.
If you talk about this power and calculation, this eldest son of his own, has a talent that does not belong to anyone, his forbearance, his terrible, and his ruthlessness, which cannot be compared to any person, only this kind of person can make this group of children of the family honestly be their courtiers and do what they should do.
On the same day, when everyone was waiting for Cao Cao's spirit, Cao Pi's succession appeared first, and Cao Pi succeeded to the throne as the king of Wei with the support of his mother Bian and Cao's general Xiahoudun, and Chen Qun, the head of the Yingchuan Chen family!
Almost at the moment when Cao Pi officially ascended the throne, in a place only ten miles away from Luoyang, Xu Chu bumped into Cao Zhang, who was in a hurry!
"Akishiko!" Xu Chuhu roared and stopped Cao Zhang, "The last general, Xu Chu, have seen Zhang Shizi!" ”
Xu Chu looked at Cao Zhang, who was in the dust, and didn't know how to tell him this unfortunate news, because at this time, not only his father, but also the King of Wei of the Han Dynasty had passed away, and even the position of King Wei was not his.
"General Xu Chu!" Cao Chang was very surprised to see Xu Chu's appearance, Cao Zhang, who was rough on the outside and delicate in his heart, knew that Xu Chu was the general of his father Cao Cao's personal guard, and he would not leave his post without permission even if the sky fell, and now Xu Chu appeared here in only two situations.
Either his father is also here and is hiding in the shadows at this time, or his father doesn't need him to guard it!
Cao Zhang looked at the empty wilderness around him, at this time, just after the New Year, not to mention pedestrians on the road, that is, there was not even a bird, where would there be a place to hide a big living person, so at this time Cao Zhang's heart became more and more uneasy.
"General Xu Chu appeared here, I guess there was something wrong with my father!" Before Xu Chu could think about what he should say, Cao Zhang spoke first.
Xu Chu looked at the rough third son, nodded involuntarily, and then the sentence in his mouth was interrupted by Cao Zhang again before he could think about it.
"Although my father is gone, not everyone is qualified to let you go, so I think the eldest brother arrived early!" After finishing speaking, Cao Zhang paused for a moment, as if he didn't think it was right, and then changed his words and said, "Even if he succeeds to the throne of Wei now, he won't send you out, he should have invited his mother, otherwise you wouldn't be here!" ”
Xu Chu looked at this Cao Zhang, who has always been known for his recklessness and bravery, listening to his analysis, he couldn't help but be shocked, no wonder the lord wanted to change Cao Chang as the king before he died, not to mention anything else, this intelligence is by no means something that can be formed in a day or two, that is to say, he is no less hidden than his two elder brothers!
Xu Chu also thought of someone at this time, that is, the second son Cao Zhi, who has been drinking and having fun in the mansion since the failure of the competition for the position of the prince of the king, this guy seems to outsiders to be a guy who can only drink and write poetry, but Xu Chu knows how many times he has avoided killing!
When the news of Yang Xiu's death came back, Xu Chu was ordered by Cao Cao's general to let the people from the school office investigate Cao Zhi's Shizi Mansion and found that he had not changed at all.
At this time, Xu Chu looked at this "reckless and brave" third son, and suddenly felt that the Cao family could do this step, it was really a real hard power, maybe the whole world underestimated the people of the Cao family, and they were all real thieves!
"Akishiko, that's exactly what you said!" Xu Chu still chose to tell the truth, of course, he didn't have anything to say, Cao Zhang guessed, "The princess wants you to go back and go back to Chang'an!" ”
"Is that all there is to it? That's not a mother's style! Cao Zhang smiled, smiling very lonely, he knew that in the end his mother still chose his brother.
Although he had expected this, he was still a little lonely, he was also his mother's son, maybe he was so reckless in front of outsiders, except for his extraordinary bravery, he had no other advantages, but that person was his mother, why didn't he give himself a chance.
Even if Cao Zhang knew that his ID mother did this, there must be a reason for him, or that it must be right in a certain situation, but Cao Zhang was still very uncomfortable in his heart, and this feeling was called disappointment.
"The princess said, if you want to hate, hate him as a mother!" Xu Chu knelt down and said this, although he didn't quite understand why Bian said this, but now that Cao Zhang asked, then he must have a reason to say this.
Sure enough, after Cao Zhang heard this, his face became even more lonely, and he even couldn't help chuckling, that kind of smile was full of bitterness.
"Mother, it's really Zhang'er who doesn't give you a chance at all!" Cao Zhang sneered, and after leaving such a sentence, he turned back in the direction of Chang'an, he knew his mother's choice, and he also knew what he was going to do!
Xu Chu looked at Cao Zhang, who chose to return so simply, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he was able to persuade Cao to go back, and he could be regarded as having completed the task, Xu Chu waited for half a day on this necessary road, and made sure that Cao Zhang really went back, instead of waiting for himself to go back and then turn back, so he walked to Luoyang with confidence.
This is more than 300 miles to Chang'an, if it is a long journey, you can't go back for a few days, there is this time, Cao Pi is enough to do what he wants to do in Luoyang, even if Cao Zhang comes back again in a few days, it doesn't matter, he can't affect the overall situation.
When Xu Chu returned to Luoyang, it was already early morning on the second day, and the first news he got when he returned to Luoyang was that Cao Pi did not mourn Cao Cao, but chose to inherit the throne of Cao Cao Wei for the first time, and it is said that the messenger had been sent to Xuchang yesterday.
After Xu Chu heard the news, his face instantly became gloomy, and he finally knew why Bian had to let himself run yesterday, not only because he wanted to stop Cao Zhang, but also because he wanted to break himself away.
She knew that with Xu Chu's loyalty to Cao Cao, if she saw that Cao Pi would not mourn for the time being but would succeed to the throne first, then no one could say what he would do to make everyone look ugly.
"Princess, you mean well, but you underestimate me Xu Zhongkang too much!" Xu Chu also sneered, he now understands Cao Zhang's mood a little, he can't object or refute it if he is so clearly calculated, and he won't be too happy if he changes it.
Xu Chu returned to Cao Cao's side, and now there is no shortage of manpower around Cao Cao, Cao Pi, who is about to succeed to the throne, Bian Shi, who will soon become a concubine, and the soldiers of the Tiger Guard, who is now responsible for guarding Luoyang, have all appeared once.
Xu Chu stood by Cao Cao's side as usual, although now he could no longer hear Cao Cao waking up from a big dream, and he shouted "Where is Zhongkang!" ”
At night, everyone was preparing for Cao Pi's succession ceremony the next day, not many people really cared about Cao Cao here, Cao Cao was a traitor in troubled times, and he was the founder of the Cao family, but in front of Cao Pi, who was about to succeed to the throne, no one would be able to tell who was the most important person to him.
Although the mourning hall at night is not empty, but it can be regarded as deserted, the mourning hall at this time cannot be seen at all as the mourning hall of a generation of heroes Cao Cao, this feeling makes Xu Chu even more sad.
The deputy general of the Tiger Guard Army walked to Xu Chu's side lightly, wanting to pull Xu Chu aside, but he tried hard for a long time, Xu Chu's footsteps didn't move, there was no way, he could only whisper to Xu Chu, "General, at this time, the front is busy and dizzy, you go out to have a look, you are the commander of the Tiger Guard, this King of Wei can't do without you!" ”
The deputy general is not a brave general, nor is he very brave and good at fighting, but he can sit firmly in the position of the deputy general of the Tiger Guard Army is also outstanding, this biggest advantage is that his eyesight is very good, he can help Xu Chu reconcile the situation in the court, so that Xu Chu will not be attacked by everyone, this is the only henchman who has been with him since he left the Xu family!
However, this time, Xu Chu did not follow the advice of the deputy general, but said coldly, "The general is now by the side of King Wei, guarding the lord!" ”
The deputy general glanced at Cao Cao beside Xu Chu, and couldn't help sighing, he knew the relationship between Xu Chu and the lord, but at this time, feelings can't solve everything, Xu Chu is just over half a hundred years old now, and his health is still fine, he doesn't want Xu Chu to die on the bed in the future, he hopes that Xu Chu can make persistent efforts and continue to guard the Cao family.
"General, I know your relationship with the lord, but I also ask you to take care of the overall situation, King Wei... Wang Shizi also needs to be taken care of, now Wang Shizi is in a hurry, Shi A has not been taken to Luoyang, it is the time of emptiness, and you need your protection! ”
Xu Chu didn't speak this time, but looked ahead with his eyes, continued to stand in place, and didn't move, he only wanted to guard Cao Cao's side now, he didn't want Cao Cao to have no one to accompany this lonely old man after he died.
When the deputy general saw Xu Chu's appearance, he also knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he couldn't help sighing, he was a member of the Xu family, and he was also the deputy specially prepared by the Xu family for Xu Chu, he didn't have extraordinary bravery, but he had a very keen eye, and he could mention him in real time by Xu Chu's side, but once Xu Chu made a mistake, he didn't have any way.
"Hey, general, think about it!" The adjutant general sighed and left the mourning hall, if he could, he wanted to go out for Xu Chu, but he knew that in the eyes of the Cao family, there was only one Xu Chu in the Tiger Guard, and no one else was Xu Chu!
The next day, Xu Chu, who had not slept all night, heard a bell ringing, he knew that it was the succession ceremony of King Wei that had finally begun, at this moment he slowly closed his eyes, and a tear slowly fell from his eyes.
In the front hall of the main hall, a grand ceremony is underway, the prince Cao Pi is wearing a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a crown on his head, step by step up the stairs in front of him.
Cao Cao went on an expedition, even if he just went to Modi, and he took away enough civil and military ministers around him, and now the military generals are wearing armor headed by Xiahou Dun, and the civil ministers are mainly Chen Qun in official uniforms, lined up on both sides, quietly waiting for his Wang Shizi to ascend to the throne of Wei.
(In ancient times, especially during the Three Kingdoms period, it was only that the division between civil and military was not very obvious, not that there was no distinction between civil and military, and the reason why there was this illusion was that those guys who played as strategists often led the army to go out on expeditions, or as the main generals of the three armies, such as Cheng Yu of Wei, Lusu Zhou Yu of Wu, Zhuge Liang of Shu and others.)
But they are still civil ministers, they just have military strategy, they can lead troops to fight, so they can be the commanders of the three armies, not that they are not divided between civil and military, but when necessary, they can be used as commanders, commanders, not military generals, although Lu Su's force value is also quite high! )
Cao Pi came to the top seat in the expectation of everyone, this is not the Wei Palace, at most it is a separate palace, but when Cao Pi turned around, sat on the throne, condescendingly looked at the important ministers and fierce generals at his feet, and looked at those people who he had to respect very much on weekdays, but at this time he bowed down to himself with a respectful face, and the feeling in his heart could not be expressed in words.
Cao Pi suddenly thought, this is just a throne, or just a very simple ceremony, so if one day, he ascended to that place, that position, and saw the civil and military officials under his feet there, would he feel even better than today?
At this moment, this feeling, he found that he couldn't control it.
"I'll wait, I've seen King Wei!" Just when Cao Pi was still in reverie, Chen Qun had already taken the lead in opening his mouth and shouting the slogan of seeing the King of Wei, followed by Xiahoudun beside him, and the civil and military generals behind him, this world!
At this moment, Cao Pi finally got his wish, and he successfully became the king of Wei!
But at this time, the first thing he thought of was nothing else, but the man who had been behind and guarded the body of his father, although this day and night, Xu Chu had never appeared by his side, as a general guarding the center, it was obvious that he was unqualified, but at this time, Cao Pi suddenly liked this general very much, such a loyal general, or a general who was so loyal to his Cao family, but there were not many!
"General Xu Chu is loyal and courageous, guards the first king, and continues to be a backbone general, guarding Lone's side!"
This was Cao Pi's first order since he ascended to the throne of Wei, and this order made Xiahou Dan smile and Chen Changwen's face changed greatly!
