Chapter 1939: Cao Pi moved the capital
Cao Pi and Chen Qun discussed moving the capital, and then he invited Jiang Ji, Liu Ye and others to the study.
In addition to Jiang Ji and Liu Ye, Cheng Yu, Chen Lin and others came to the study.
Cheng Yu and others once had good friends with Cao Shuo.
Since getting Yecheng, Cao Pi has always had a grudge against them.
After many days, Cao Shuo never appeared, and the staff and generals who felt that the future was bleak turned to Cao Pi one after another.
Of course, there will be guilt, but there is no one behind it, and everyone has no other choice.
Escape from Yecheng to join Cao Shuo?
It's not that no one thought that except for Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others who left smoothly, the officials who later had these thoughts were either killed or disappeared inexplicably.
Of course, the killed ones will never appear again, and Cheng Yu and others know where the inexplicably missing are.
Summoning everyone to the study and confirming the relocation of the capital, Cao Pi left his temporary palace.
The place he was going to was Liu Xie's residence.
Since Liu Xie was abolished, he has been living in the house arranged by Cao Pi at the beginning.
Empress Fu is dead, and Cao Pi sent him a few beauties.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and I don't have too many extravagant expectations for men and women.
Or maybe it's because he is no longer the emperor, and the blow to Liu Xie is too great, and he hasn't touched many beauties when he comes here, but when he is very depressed, he will drag one to vent.
Cao Pi came, and Liu Xie hurriedly greeted him.
Kneeling in front of him, he shouted loudly: "Knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
Cao Pi, who became the emperor, likes to see this former Ninety-Five Emperor kneeling in front of him.
He raised his hand weakly: "I have long said that the king of Shanyang does not need to bow. You travel with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, and you don't need to bow down to do things. If it weren't for the King of Sanyang, how could I sit on the throne of the emperor? ”
Cao Pi said so, but Liu Xie's kneeling in front of him still made him feel inexplicably excited in his heart.
What can you do if you compete in the world?
What can Cao Zirong do if he owns half of the country?
All of them are called emperors, there is no heirloom jade seal, there is no Zen etiquette of the Han emperor, and there is no former Han emperor kneeling at his feet.
What is the Son of Heaven? What is Emperor?
The emperor is to intimidate the world, including the deposed old emperor!
"Your Majesty is the king, and I am the minister." Liu Xiezhan replied tremblingly: "When the minister sees the king, he doesn't worship, it's for rebellion." Although His Majesty gave the minister supreme glory, the minister did not dare to trespass in the slightest. ”
Liu Xie is not a stupid person, Cao Pi gave him the courtesy of the Son of Heaven, but how dare he accept it?
A country cannot be without a king for a day, let alone two monarchs.
As the king of the dead country, you must have the consciousness of the king of the dead country.
The family and country are gone, what good is it to have those false names?
The more respectful Liu Xie is, the more useful Cao Pi is in his heart.
He raised his hand again: "King Shanyang doesn't need to kneel for a long time, I came to see you because I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
Cao Pi raised his hand for the second time, and Liu Xie dared to stand up: "Your Majesty has something important, and you can discuss it with the princes in the court, I am stupid by nature, so I shouldn't be able to give any advice." ”
"If you want to talk about strategizing, they are indeed better than you and me." Cao Pi smiled indifferently: "But when it comes to the experience of being an emperor, no one can compare to you and me." ”
Cao Pi said this, Liu Xie could only keep his head down and remain silent.
The experience of being an emperor is not a good experience, and if you are not careful, you will lose your head.
Born as a puppet for many years, Liu Xie has long learned how to survive in the cracks.
Speak when you should speak, and don't say more when you shouldn't.
Only in this way can you live longer.
"I'm going to move the capital." Cao Pi said to Liu Xie: "Although Yecheng is noisy and prosperous, there is no foundation of the imperial capital here. Move the capital to Luoyang and seek long-term peace and stability, what do you think? ”
Liu Xie replied: "Luoyang does have dragon energy, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the dynasty back then, although the dragon qi was dispersed, it only confirmed that the Han family's qi was exhausted." Now that the Great Wei Dynasty is in full swing, moving the capital to Luoyang will surely have a thousand years of foundation. ”
"Are you saying this is true or false?" Looking at Liu Xie, Cao Pi asked with a smile.
"Sincerely, of course." Liu Xie lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Cao Pi.
Now he is just the king of Shanyang of Great Wei, and he is no longer the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Even when he was the emperor, no one in the world would really obey his command.
Everyone who gained power wanted to take the country from him.
Cao Cao and Cao Pi, father and son, successively killed his most new Concubine Dong and Empress Fu, and he can be said to have a deep hatred for the Cao family.
Hate to hate, but what can he do?
Once a puppet, now a deposed emperor.
He was luckier than Liu Wei back then, but he was only lucky to meet Cao Cao's father and son instead of Dong Zhuo.
In order to stabilize his power, Dong Zhuo chose to kill people after deposing Liu Wei.
At that time, the world was very chaotic, and now that I think about it, Dong Zhuo has nothing to criticize for doing so.
Cao Pi usurped the imperial power, and the world has been stabilized for the most part.
The remaining heroes have also proclaimed themselves emperors, how can anyone else be loyal to the Han family?
The Han family is dead, and it is completely dead.
The only thing that Liu Xie still has hope for is to live.
Cao Pi wants to move the capital, how dare he put forward a different opinion?
It had long been expected that Liu Association would say this, and Cao Pi came here just to see the expression of he, the former emperor, when he heard about the relocation of the capital.
Liu Xie strongly agreed with moving the capital to Luoyang, and Cao Pi, who pretended to be sincere in seeking advice, nodded.
He then asked very casually: "When you return to Luoyang and don't let you live in the palace, will you feel unhappy?" ”
Stunned by the question, Liu Xie hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty said so, but it broke me." The Luoyang Palace had long been burned to a scorched earth by Dong Zhuo. At the beginning, I was unable to keep it, and His Majesty moved the capital to Luoyang to rebuild prosperity on the scorched earth. I can only pray that Your Majesty Wencheng Wude will dominate the country! ”
"King Sanyang is getting better and better at talking." Cao Pi laughed, and he gently patted Liu Xie's arm: "You and I are both emperors, and when I encounter problems in the future, I have to answer your doubts more." ”
"I don't dare to say it, but wherever Your Majesty is useful, the ministers are all exhausted." Liu Xie bowed and replied.
The demonstration seemed to have seen Liu Xie, and Cao Pi left satisfied.
When he returned to Cao's house, he immediately ordered the capital to be moved.
Cao Pi moved the capital, and the movement was really not small.
Yecheng is not too far from Shouchun, and his every move is controlled by Cao Shuo.
Soon after, Cao Shuo received the news that Cao Pi had moved the capital.
After Xun's death, Cao Shuo was not in a hurry to become emperor.
It's just that he gave up the original title of King of Wuzhou, proclaimed himself the King of Wei, and established the Great Wei State in the name of Cao Cao's eldest son.
Cao Pi and Cao Shuo's Wei, one claimed that the imperial court was located in the west, while the other was temporarily a Han feudal state and was located in the east.
