The sky was gray, and a dead leaf struggled to break away from the trunk and swirl down.

Cao Cao's coffin was welcomed back to Yecheng, and Cao Pi never followed Cao Cao's instructions before his death, and everything was simple.

Instead, he returned to Yecheng with great pomp, and along the way, the funeral procession stretched for more than ten miles.

What's more, under Cao Pi's special arrangement, the specifications of the funeral were completely in accordance with the emperor's standards.

In his words, without King Wei, there would be no world today.

What the emperor couldn't do, King Wei did, then the emperor's specifications should be used.

No one objected, no one discussed, it was not that they did not dare, it was unnecessary.

In the face of great strength, no matter how nonsense the logic is, it will become reasonable.

Next, it is the transfer of power that Cao Pi is most concerned about.

For Cao Zhi, he is not worried, it is just a literati and a bad drunkard, and there is not much of a threat.

What he cared about was Cao Zhang, who held military power, and when Cao Cao was alive, the defense forces around Yecheng were all controlled by Cao Zhang.

If the other party is in a bad mood and raises troops to resist him, Cao Pi knows very well what the consequences will be.

At this time, of course, it was Sima Yi who stood up again.

He stood in front of Cao Pi without care, patted his chest and promised that if he went to Cao Zhang's military camp by himself, the matter would be resolved.

Not only that, but for Cao Pi's concern, he showed quite righteousness and awe-inspiring.

Such nonsense as going to the soup and going to the fire, as long as a politician with a little brain, will not believe it.

Cao Pi was the same, he just smiled slightly, and sent Sima Yi.

He wouldn't believe that if he wasn't completely sure, the other party would go so easily.

The facts also confirmed his thoughts, and it only took Sima Yi half a day to return from Cao Zhang's barracks.

"The fourth prince is willing to hand over the military power, he said that he has been fighting all his life, and it is time to enjoy the blessings!"

On the mourning hall, Sima Yi hugged his fists and said to Cao Pi, who was dressed in filial piety clothes.

Cao Pi knelt on the futon, silently staring at Cao Cao's spirit card, without saying a word.

Looking at his compassionate appearance, it seems that this result makes him sad.

Sima Yi also looked at his nose and nose, and stood like this with his nose and mouth.

After a long time, Cao Pi said quietly.

"Now that my father is gone, I am truly alone!

All I can do is to guard the Cao family's business and comfort my father's soul in the sky! ”

Sima Yi still didn't speak, but silently bowed to Cao Cao's spiritual position.

"Have you read Chen Qun's book?" Cao Pi glanced at Sima Yi, who was bent over, and said.

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi's heart jumped violently.

Although he hadn't read the book in Cao Pi's mouth, he knew what it was talking about.

Three days after Cao Cao's death, when the coffin had not returned to Yecheng, the civil and military forces in the court wrote to Cao Pi on behalf of Chen Qun, with only one content.

Persuade!

It's just that, of course, the courtesy of these guys is conditional.

When Cao Pi saw the Jiupin Zhongzheng system proposed by Chen Qun, he immediately understood that these guys kept saying that they wanted to maintain the Han Dynasty, for fear that Cao Cao would become the emperor, but they actually wanted this!

(The nine-rank Zhongzheng system is also called the nine-rank official law, which is to divide the officials into three grades, upper, middle and lower, and be recommended by the scholars to be officials, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to ensure the interests of the scholars.)

The direct consequence of this system is that being an official has become the patent of the scholars, and being an official only depends on their background, as long as they have a good background, even if they are stupider than a pig, they can be officials, and as for civilians, they don't do it if they are smart! ）

At this time, Cao Pi mentioned this in front of himself, and his meaning was self-evident.

The Sima family is now one of the most influential scholars.

"Now is not the time!" After a long time, Sima Yi slowly opened his mouth and said this sentence.

Of course he knew that Cao Pi wanted to sit in that position in his dreams.

It seemed that he had long known that Sima Yi would answer like this, Cao Pi just said lightly.

"Why?"

"The Emperor is still here!"

Sima Yi's words seemed to sting Cao Pi.

I saw that his face suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth.

"If the Emperor is still in our hands, everything will be easy.

But now that the emperor is in the hands of Xu Tian, and in Chaisang, this Xu Tian openly recognized the emperor and expressed his obedience.

Sun Quan also accepted the title of King of Wu from the emperor himself.

At this time, once we move, we will become the target of public criticism! ”

Sima Yi took two steps forward, knelt beside Cao Pi, and explained.

"Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! I didn't expect that one day it would be used on us by this Xu Tian.

If you want to not be restricted everywhere in the future, you have to solve this problem, what do you think? ”

Cao Pi looked angry, as if Xu Tian was blocking his steps, which made him very annoyed.

"There are also ways, and now the existence of this Xu Tian has seriously threatened Sun Quan.

As the saying goes, the enemy of this enemy is a friend.

As long as we unite with Sun Quan and take Jingzhou to regain the emperor, it is not impossible.

As long as the emperor is in our hands, everything will be easy! ”

"That plan will be settled?"

"King Wei only needs to give 100,000 elite soldiers to Jingzhou!"

Sima Yi's bold words echoed in the mourning hall.

Cao Pi fell silent and stopped talking, just raised his eyes to look at Cao Cao's spiritual position again...

…

Sima Yi slowly walked out of the mourning hall, and after he was about to leave completely, he glanced back at the hall.

"Come with me, you're still too tender..."

With a hint of coldness on his face that he had never seen before, Sima Yi turned around and left...

"Remember, never let Sima Yi hold the power of the army!"

Cao Cao's words still seemed to echo in his ears, and Cao Pi still knelt in the mourning hall, not moving a bit.

Just now he just wanted to give Sima Yi a try, only by really understanding this person can he know how to really control him.

Time passed slowly, night was fast approaching, and the earth was once again shrouded in darkness.

This is the fifth day that Cao Pi has been in the mourning hall, but tonight's mourning hall is a little different.

Except for Cao Pi, there seemed to be no one around.

The guards who used to guard here are gone.

The evening breeze blew, and the many white silk hanging in the hall swayed.

A black figure suddenly appeared, and in a few flashes came to Cao Pi, who was kneeling, and knelt on one knee.

"Meet King Wei!"

"Remember your mission!" Cao Pi's closed eyes moved slightly, but they didn't open them.

"King Wei, rest assured, the emperor won't live long!"

After the black shadow finished speaking, he bowed to Cao Pi again, and his figure flickered and disappeared in place.

"Father! Most of the world is called back by you, and of course the emperor should belong to you! ”

The evening breeze blew, bringing up General Cao's words, floating out of the mourning hall, and heading straight into the sky...
