Chapter 182 Cao Cao Becomes King
Liu Bei turned to a state of comprehensive defense, made a truce to rest the people, vigorously developed the economy, and actively prepared for the attack on Yongliang in the future. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao also turned into a defensive state, and for more than a year, there had been no major battles with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, which surprised Liu Bei's side.
"Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Cao Cao, who was in Yecheng, was lying on the couch and rolling, holding his head tightly with both hands, and calling out to his attendants in pain.
The attendant hurriedly ran out and sent the imperial doctor to come for treatment.
The imperial doctors took three steps and made two steps and ran in panting, but they knew that it was useless to run, so they boiled the medicine according to the old recipe and gave it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao drank the steaming medicine, sweat broke out on his forehead, the headache symptoms were slightly relieved, and he still asked loudly: "Drink some medicine once it hurts, drink some medicine once it hurts, can't it be that it won't hurt again after drinking medicine at one time?" You people, since you are imperial doctors, you should be the most skilled doctors in the world, why can't you even cure a headache! ”
The imperial doctors didn't argue, they just knelt down and claimed that their medical skills were limited, and let the prime minister be tortured like this, the crime deserved ten thousand deaths, and the crimes deserved ten thousand deaths!
Cao Cao vented and waved them back. He was not interested in really punishing these people, but he secretly regretted that he should not have killed Hua Tuo on impulse in the first place, causing his son Cao Chong to die of illness, and now it seems that he was going to kill himself.
Since Hanzhong lost his troops and returned in vain, Cao Cao suddenly became a little disheartened. Now that he has been divided with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, he has not achieved any results in fighting with them over the years, but he has watched Liu Bei grow bigger step by step, and it seems that if he wants to eliminate them and dominate the world, it will definitely be difficult to do it in the short term.
Then be patient and wait for your chance? It's a pity that God doesn't seem to be able to leave me any more chances, alas, I'm old, and I have this damn head wind, and in this life, the glory can only be a thing of the past?
Tortured by illness and frustration, Cao Cao has become even more bored these days, and his bitterness is written on his face, which can make his group of sub-strategists anxious.
"Oh, our prime minister is worried about the country, and he has become ill from hard work, what can I do?"
"We are deeply favored by the prime minister, and we can't repay it, and now we can't share the suffering for him, it's really a shame to the prime minister. Do you have any good prescriptions? If there is, I will definitely not hesitate to break the bank, and I will find a way to get it all. ”
……
Everyone talked about it, and they all said that they would go down all over the world to find a famous doctor, and they must let Cao Cao's illness be effectively treated.
Dong Zhao didn't discuss with them, and felt that he wanted to do something practical to make Cao Cao happy, so he pulled Hua Xin and several other officials, and when Cao Cao convened everyone to discuss the matter, they sent a message of emotion together.
"Since ancient times, as a courtier to help the king, there has been no one like you, the prime minister today. If someone has such a credit as a prime minister, they will soon become monarchs. Dong Zhao spoke first.
Hua Xin continued: "At the beginning, the world was in turmoil, and the princes from all walks of life were divided, and it all relied on the power of the prime minister to welcome the Son of Heaven to Xudu, avoiding the pain of wandering and displacement, and fighting in all directions, suppressing the rebellion of all parties, and saving the people from fire and water. Such a contribution is naturally unprecedented, and no one can compare. ”
Dong Zhao continued: "A person like the Prime Minister who helps the Son of Heaven, determines the world, and spreads his virtues to the Quartet, even if he is a sage such as Yi Yin and Zhou Gong, compared to you, it is not as good as you." ”
"Now under the great rule today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be said to be a model of ancient and modern ministers governing the world." Hua Xin was connected again.
Dong Zhao sighed and said: "I'm afraid that if the courtiers are changed in the future, everything the prime minister has done will be tampered with by future generations, and then the world will fall into chaos again." ”
Hua Xin sighed twice: "Alas, alas, for the long-term peace and stability of the world, we feel that the prime minister's virtue of governing the world should be established for a long time." ”
Dong Zhao sighed three more times: "Alas, alas, alas, this needs to ensure that the prime minister has his own foundation, can implement virtue and government on his own people, and will not be tampered with by others." In this way, other places can always take the virtue and politics of the prime minister's fiefdom as a model, and the virtue will be the world. ”
Hua Xin suddenly made a big mistake: "You are right, the prime minister must have his own foundation!" ”
Dong Zhao nodded resolutely: "Yes, we should work together to persuade the prime minister, for the sake of the people of the world, to quickly establish our own human foundation, and think that we will be a model for all generations!" ”
Hua Xin humbly asked Dong Zhao for advice: "What kind of foundation should this be?" ”
Dong Zhao said loudly: "Brother Ziyu, why are you pedantic for a while? We should let the prime minister enter the king, seal the throne, and have his own kingdom! ”
The other officials who had been listening suddenly made a big mistake and quickly knelt down together: "I implore the prime minister to be crowned a prince and establish a kingdom!" ”
Cao Cao kept pressing his forehead with his hand to stop the headache, these words came into his ears, and he suddenly felt much better, but he looked frightened: "I can't help it, what are you doing here, it's the emperor's business, are you here to persuade me to make myself a prince?" How can I have the face to see the people of the world in the future? Oh, don't talk nonsense, I'm all in a mess with you. ”
Dong Zhao and Hua Xin pointed at each other: "Oh, we are confused, we have to ask the Son of Heaven for this king's matter!" We can't put the prime minister in a place of injustice. Then let's hurry up and write a concert together, and ask the emperor for permission. ”
Many pieces flew from Yecheng to Xudu like snowflakes, Liu Xie opened it and saw it, and tears flowed out immediately, but he couldn't refuse, now his life is in the hands of others, and he lives one day at a time.
Pushing the rest of the music aside, Liu Xie instructed Shang Shu to order: "You draw up a holy decree and make Prime Minister Cao Gong the king of Wei." ”
The holy decree of the king was transmitted to Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion in Yecheng as quickly as possible, and Cao Cao refused to accept it, with a shocked expression on his face: "How can I Cao Cao, how can I enjoy such a generous favor from the emperor." Never, never. ”
Liu Xie made another holy decree. Cao Cao still refused: "Cao Cao is not surnamed Liu, I don't dare to accept it, and I ask the emperor to take back his fate." ”
The third decree followed. Cao Cao still didn't answer.
There was no way, Liu Xie had no choice but to make the fourth holy decree: "...... The Duke of Cao was named the king of Wei and could not be pushed back. ”
"Alas, it wasn't my intention to be crowned king, and I have already pushed it back three times. But the king's order cannot be violated, and I have no choice but to do it. Cao Cao knelt on the ground, and accepted the holy decree with a helpless look.
Immediately after establishing the fiefdom of Wei, he built the palace of the king of Wei in Ye County, prepared the twelve crowns used by the king, the six carriages of the golden root, and other heavenly chariots to serve Luanyi, discussed the feudal prince, and kept Cao Cao very busy, where is there time to think about conquest of Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
