1. "Isn't the credit of Weichen enough?" Cao Pi raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"Aiqing opened the country for thousands of miles, if you talk about the merits, it is indeed enough, but at the beginning of the dynasty there is ancestral training, the former Gaozu Emperor White Horse oath, not surnamed Liu and the king, the world strikes together, it is a different surname title from my dynasty, the highest is only the county marquis, even the founding of the prime minister Xiao Cheng is only the marquis, so the great Sima general Huo Guang, the power of the world, once abolished the emperor, but also the Marquis of Bolu, at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Deng Yu, Wu Han and others were only marquis, even the duke was not canonized, Now that Aiqing has already surpassed the above people in terms of title, why bother so much for the sake of a false name? ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to agree, people live for a lifetime, grass and trees for an autumn, what is fighting for is fame and fortune, Weichen now has a great merit to the court, and it is this title to fight, may I ask Your Majesty, now Weichen's credit is no less than Liu He, is it because he is not a member of the Han family and cannot be crowned king? Besides, although there are not many people with different surnames in my Han Dynasty, it is by no means nothing, for example, Wang Mang, who sought to usurp the throne back then, was not also crowned king? If he doesn't choose a certain dynasty to usurp the throne in the end, won't he also be famous for posterity because of a different surname? ”

"Wang, Wang Mang", Liu Xie was stunned when he heard Cao Pi's words, and then he also thought: "What is the difference between me and Emperor Ping of Han back then?" Isn't it also a puppet in Cao Pi's hands? Don't say it's Cao Pi, even Liu He, who is also a relative of the Han family, keeps saying that he respects me, but he has never seen him lead his troops to King Qin and rescue me from Cao Pi's control, with his strength, it is not easy to defeat Cao Pi? Hmph, from this point of view, what is the difference between him and Cao Pi? If I can canonize him as king, why can't I can't canonize Cao Pi as king? Why should I care about the teachings of my ancestors? As long as this Cao Pi can bring me some benefits, why should I care about this? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Xie said to Cao Pi: "Aiqing is also reasonable, in fact, although the ancestral training stipulates that it is not allowed to be crowned a king with a different surname, but the world changes over time, nothing is immutable, Aiqing has made great contributions to the court, and it is my eldest brother, and the canonization is not inflexible, but the materials in my palace are very poor, and I have been frugal with Ling Mei for half a year......"

"This is all the negligence of Weichen, please rest assured that Your Majesty will definitely enrich the treasury of the palace and strive to ensure that Your Majesty, the queen mother and the concubines in the palace have no worries about food and clothing."

Cao Pi saw that Liu Xie came down, and he was very happy in his heart, as for the emperor asking for some materials, this was really a trivial matter for him, and it was a big deal to wait until the materials entered the palace, and then he would find a way to pull them out, anyway, the current Son of Heaven is just an empty shelf, and no one in the court will buy his account at all, everything is up to him.

A few days later, the Son of Heaven issued an edict, because Chu was fair to determine the Wa State, and made great contributions, so he added the title of King of Donghai County to show his gratitude, and at the same time, the meritorious soldiers were also rewarded, and Sima Yi was named Wen Hou, worshipping the former general, and taking the Wa State as the Wa State, and Sima Yi as the Assassin of the Wa State.

After the news came, public opinion in the world was in an uproar.

"What? The king of the East China Sea? After Liu He got the news in Chang'an, he was furious and said loudly: "What a complacent Cao Pi, who has just pacified the Wa Kingdom, thinks that he has soared into the sky? He dared to be arrogant and forced the Son of Heaven to crown him king! Can this throne be canonized casually? At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu set up the White Horse Alliance, and if he was not surnamed Liu, he could not be crowned king, did he forget? Hmph, he clearly does not put Gaozu in his eyes, does not put my Han ancestors in his eyes, this kind of behavior is simply disregard for the courtesy of the ministers, it is really unreasonable, it is just right, I have been recuperating in the past few years, the Central Plains is rich in people, the soldiers have been idle for many years, and they are thinking about making meritorious contributions, and they will pass on the order, and order Zhao Yun to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Xiaopei; Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liyi led an army of 50,000 and entered Langya from Mount Tai; ordered Jizhou to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Jibei from the plains and break Qingzhou; Then ordered Yangzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Yu to lead an army of 50,000, from Huainan into Guangling, the four-way army of 200,000, in a month to complete the requisition, next month fifteen, the four-way army will capture Pi, this battle of the army of all roads is not allowed to lose, be sure to capture and kill the Han thief, welcome back the Son of Heaven! ”

In fact, to tell the truth, if it is just a king, Liu He doesn't care much, after all, now the Son of Heaven has no power, and is under the actual control of Cao Pi, and Cao Pi has long been envious of his position as the king of Qin. Liu He would not object to Cao Pi being king.

However, what worries Liu He the most now is that the current Sima Yi has been named a former general, Wen Hou, the history of the Assassin of the Wazhou, and has an overview of the military and political power in the Wa State, he knows that the people of the Wa State are very good at fighting, plus Sima Yi is not an ordinary person, and has a very powerful means of encircling people, with this person's ambition, if the soldiers are recruited in the Wa State and trained strictly, it is estimated that within ten years, an army will be trained enough to threaten the Han, although this army is impossible to defeat the Han, but if they rely on the vast coastline, If he continues to harass coastal prefectures and counties, it is estimated that the troubles that have changed the style of culture in history will be staged more than a thousand years in advance, and this will bring great damage to people's lives and property, which is also what Liu He cannot tolerate the most.

Therefore, since we are worried about endless troubles in the future, it is better to take precautions and use this excuse to wipe out Cao Pi's forces in one fell swoop, completely realize the unification of the world, and prepare for Liu He's next expansion.

Of course, in addition, there is another reason for Liu He to send troops, that is, the reward for Sima Yi is too heavy, in comparison, the rewards of Tai Shici and Lu Xun, who also have the merit of founding the country, are too thin, and their own rewards must be fair and just to take into account the matter of continuing to make meritorious contributions and expand the territory in the future, but Cao Pi does not have to worry about all this at all, and the excessively high canonization is just to provoke Liu He, and to drive a wedge between Liu He's monarch and ministers.

How can Liu He tolerate this? So he directly resorted to force and told the other party the simplest truth, that is, only when the fist is big is reasonable, not to mention that he is now a member of the Han family, standing on the highest point of morality, and he still has the ancestral teachings of Gaozu in his hands.
