On October 29, 220, Cao Pi ascended the altar to receive Zen. Ministers, liehous, generals, Xiongnu Shan Yu, and Siyi came to the court, a total of tens of thousands of people. Burn the heaven and earth, the five mountains, and the four desecrations. Officially ascended the throne as Emperor Wen of Wei. Changed to the beginning of the Huang Dynasty. Correction of Shuo, Yi Fu color, special emblem, the same law measurement, the determination of the soil, and the amnesty of the world. After everything was over, Cao Pi sighed with emotion, "I know about Shunyu"
On November 1, a son of heaven and a courtier. Liu Xie was named the Duke of Shanyang and was above the princes and kings. 10,000 households in Shanyang County, Hanoi County. Xinghan Zhengshuo, with the Son of Heaven etiquette. If you don't call yourself a minister, you won't worship it. Liu Xie's four sons were demoted from prince to marquis. The other princes surnamed Liu were all demoted to the Marquis of Chongde, and the Marquis surnamed Liu was demoted to the Marquis of Guanzhong. Liu Xie also dedicated his two daughters to Cao Pi as concubines, such as the story of Empress E and Nuying when Yao Shun Chan gave way.
Cao Pi posthumously crowned Cao Song as the emperor. Cao Pi was Emperor Wu of Wei, the Taizu. Respect Mrs. Bian as the queen mother. The ministers have their own titles and additional titles. Give every man in the world a first-class knighthood; For the father, the latter, filial piety, and Litian each have a second-class title. The Fanyang Pavilion in Yingyin County, where the Shouzen platform is located, was upgraded to Fanchang County. The names of the counties and counties have been changed many times. He also changed Xiangguo to Situ, Yushi Dafu to Sikong, Fengchang to Taichang, Lang Zhongling to Guangluxun, Dali to Tingwei, and Danong to Dasinong.
In November, Cao Pi gave the Southern Xiongnu Hu Kitchen Spring Shan to Wei Xishou, Qinggaiche, Chengyu, Baojian, and Yujue.
Cao Pi wanted to correct Shuo, but was stopped by Xin Bi. At that time, the ministers praised Wei De and derogated the previous dynasty. The unique Wei Zhen has repeatedly praised the virtues of the Han Dynasty Zen. Cao Pi was also quite moved, and swore on the spot that "the treasure of the world, I should be with Shanyang Public" Cao Pi wanted to chase the parents of the Empress Dowager Bian, but was stopped by Chen Qun. And the article of preventing foreign relatives from interfering in politics is customized, and it is hidden.
In December, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, ordered the construction of a palace in Luoyang. On the 17th, Cao Pi personally visited Luoyang.
After pacifying the turmoil in Liangzhou, Su Ze was recalled to the imperial court to serve as a servant, and Cao Pi specially summoned him and asked, "Not long ago, the envoy of the Western Regions offered a large pearl as big as an inch, and I like it very much." Can you buy some more?" replied Su Ze, "If Your Majesty can negotiate with China and Deliusha, then these treasures will not be sought." If you ask for it, then what is precious?"
Cao Pi gave Xiahou Shang the edict with the words "the emperor is a heavy general, he is a special envoy, he is a powerful and blessing, and he kills the living", and Xiahou Shang showed this edict to Jiang Ji. So when Cao Pi summoned Jiang Ji to the court as a free cavalry attendant, Cao Pi asked him what he saw and heard outside? Jiang Ji replied, "The minister saw the words of the dead country" Cao Pi was furious and asked Jiang Ji what he saw? Jiang Ji said that he saw the edict written by His Majesty to Xiahou Shang, "The Son of Heaven has no jokes, the ancients are cautious, and I hope Your Majesty will observe it" Cao Pi was as good as a stream, and immediately sent an envoy to recover the previous edict.
Cao Pi ignored the reality of drought, locust plagues, and famine among the people, and insisted on moving 100,000 households from Jizhou to Henan, where Luoyang was located. Xin Bi grabbed Cao Pi's clothes and admonished him, saying that Cao Pi was annoyed, so he threw off his clothes and went back to the palace. It took a long time to come out. Seeing that Xin Bi was still there, he couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do" Xin Bi replied, "This is a move that has lost the hearts of the people, and the ministers dare not fight for it" In the end, Cao Pi made a compromise and only moved 50,000 households.
Cao Pi likes to hunt, and once said to the ministers, "Shoot pheasants, and enjoy things" Dai Ling, the captain of Changshui, advised him on this matter, which angered Cao Pi, and Dai Ling commuted the death penalty to one degree. It was Xin Bi who came forward to admonish, "This matter is very happy for Your Majesty, and it is very bitter for the group" Cao Pi was silent, and then reduced the frequency of hunting.
In January 221, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi worshipped heaven and earth and Ming Hall. On the 3rd, Cao Pi went to the original tomb of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu to hunt. Sent the gift of the ether prison to sacrifice Liu Xiu. On the 4th, Cao Pi issued an edict: All counties with a population of more than 100,000 should recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year. If there are particularly outstanding talents in the county with a population of less than 100,000, they can also be recommended to the imperial court. On the 10th, Cao Pi ordered to divide the food of the three dukes, and each of his sons was named a marquis. On the 11th, Cao Pi issued an edict that "Gaozu of the Han Dynasty took Guanzhong as the foundation of the country, and Emperor Guangwu took Hanoi as the king's base." Yingchuan County was the place where the first emperor first raised his troops, and during the battle of Guandu, he gave the first emperor the most powerful support, and I was also enthroned in Yingchuan County. Yingchuan County is Liu Bang's Guanzhong and Liu Xiu's Hanoi, and the people of Yingchuan County are exempted from one year's land rent." Xu County, Yingchuan County, was renamed Xuchang County. Set up a capital: Luoyang and four accompanying capitals: Chang'an (the capital of the Western Han Dynasty), Qian (Cao's hometown), Xuchang (to welcome the Han Emperor), Ye (the capital of the Wei State), Lishibiao, Yiyang in the west, Taihang in the north, Yangping in the northeast, Luyang in the south, and Tan in the east, which is the land of the middle capital.
In January, Cao Pi conferred the title of Confucian Emperor as the Holy Marquis of the Sect to worship Confucius. He also ordered Lu County to rebuild the old temple of Confucius and guard it with hundreds of officials. A large number of houses were built outside the temple for scholars to live in.
In March, Cao Pi crowned Sun Gong, the Taishou Gong of Liaodong, as the general of the chariot cavalry.
In March, Cao Pi ordered the restoration of the Han Dynasty's five-baht coin.
In April, Cao Ren, a general of the chariot cavalry, was promoted to general.
Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and established Wei for 5 months. During this period, there were many rumors in Shuzhong, and the most widely spread was that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had been killed. And Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, also mourned Liu Xiefa in a timely manner, posthumously calling him the emperor of filial piety, which is equivalent to confirming this rumor.
So Liu Bao, Xiang Ju, Zhang Yi, Huang Quan, Yin Chun, Zhao Ying, Yang Hong, He Zong, Du Qiong, Zhang Shuang, Yin Mo, Qian Zhou and others all spoke to Fu Rui, persuading Liu Bei Shao to inherit the Han Dynasty and take the throne on the same day. Only the front part of Sima Fei Shi was opposed, which caused Liu Bei to be dissatisfied, and Fei Shi moved to Yongchang County to the left.
Xu Jing, Mi Zhu, Zhuge Liang, Lai Gong, Huang Zhu, Wang Mou and others once again went up to persuade them to advance. So on April 5, Liu Bei officially ascended the throne as emperor in the south of Wudan Mountain in the northwest of CD. Amnesty, change the Yuan Zhangwu. Feng Zhuge Liang was the prime minister, Xu Jing was the Situ, set up hundreds of officials, and established a temple.
At this time, Sima Guang used a long period of "Chenguang Yue" to discuss the so-called orthodoxy issue in the "Zizhi Tongjian". In Sima Guang's view, the issue of orthodoxy was disdainful, and he did not think that Liu Bei inherited the orthodoxy of the Han family, so Sima Guang decided to still use the Wei Dynasty era name to record the year.
In April, Sun Quan moved the capital from Gong'an in Nanjun County to Exian County in Jiangxia County, and renamed it Wuchang. The 6 counties of Wuchang, Xiapheasant, Xunyang, Yangxin, Chaisang and Shaxian are Wuchang County.
On May 12, Liu Bei named his wife Wu as the queen. Liu Chan is the crown prince. Zhang Fei's daughter is the crown princess.
In May, Zheng Gan, a thief from Zuo Fengyi, rebelled again a year after his surrender and was beheaded by Cao Ren.
On June 1, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi first enshrined the five mountains, the four desecrations, and the Xian rank group worship. On the 5th, because the temple of Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, had not yet been built, and the temple of the original Wei State was far away in Yancheng, Cao Pi could only choose to worship his father Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, in the first hall, such as a family ceremony.
After Cao Pi became emperor, the noble concubines Queen Guo, Li Guiren, and Yin nobles were favored, but Mrs. Zhen, who was originally loved by thousands of people, was left in Zhencheng and separated from Cao Pi in Luoyang, and it was inevitable that there would be complaints. These complaints were blown by Queen Guo's pillow wind, and Cao Pi was immediately furious. On the 28th, an envoy was sent to Yecheng to kill Mrs. Zhen.
On the 29th, a solar eclipse. There is a boss who should dismiss the captain Jia Xu. Cao Pi issued an edict: The first person to be punished by natural disasters should be me. In the future, if there is another natural disaster, there is no need to impeach the three princes, and the hundred officials should perform their duties and do things as usual.
In June, Liu Bei named his son Liu Yong as the king of Lu and Liu Li as the king of Liang.
Liu Bei wanted to avenge Guan Yu, the second was to recapture Jingzhou, and the third should also be a bully and afraid of the hard, and the first major decision he made after ascending the throne was to conquer Sun Quan. Zhao Yun admonished him bitterly for this and put forward several reasons: 1 Guan Yu's murder was a personal grudge, Liu Xie's murder was a national enemy, and the national thief was Cao Pi instead of Sun Quan; 2 Cao Cao is dead, and Cao Pi is not enough to resist; 3. Once the army with Eastern Wu is engaged, it will be impossible to solve it, and it will be taken advantage of by Cao Wei; 4 If the Wei State is destroyed, the Wu State will submit itself... The ministers led by Zhuge Liang also advised them for various reasons, but Liu Bei did not listen to them. One of the priests, Qin Mi, was also imprisoned for this.
Liu Bei carried out various preparations for the Eastern Expedition, and at the same time sent people to Langzhong County, Brazil County, to inform Zhang Fei, asking him to lead 10,000 troops to meet him in Jiangzhou County, Ba County. But who knew that what was waiting for was another bad news! Chen Shou commented on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "both of them are called ten thousand enemies and are the tigers of the world." Guan Yu served Cao Gong, Zhang Fei explained Yan Yan, and had the style of a national soldier. Ran Yu is rigid and self-contained, violent and ungraceful. Yu is kind to the soldiers and proud of the scholars, and Fei loves the gentleman but not the soldiers. The Han lord often commanded Zhang Fei and said, "Qing torture and killing are not only too bad, but also the day whip Laos athletes and order on the left and right, this way to take trouble" Zhang Fei only as a deaf ear" In the end, Liu Bei was unfortunately in the middle, Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates Zhang Da and Fan Yi ("Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Zhang Fei ordered Zhang and Fan to prepare white flags and white armor within three days, and the two asked for leniency, Zhang Fei was furious, and whipped the two on the spot, and said that they would come back three days later to reward and punish the crime. The two of them became murderous because of this)
Zhang Da and Fan Qi cut off Zhang Fei's head and went to Sun Quan. Liu Bei received the letter signed by the governor of Zhang Fei's camp, and couldn't help but be shocked, "Is Fei dead?"
In July, Liu Bei personally led a large army to attack Eastern Wu ("Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that there were three people in the army: Huang Zhong, Guan Yu's son Guan Xing, and Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao. But in fact, Huang Zhong died last year, Zhang Bao also died early, and Guan Xing has abandoned martial arts. There are no such three people in Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition army)
Faced with Liu Bei's surging army, Sun Quan hurriedly sent an envoy to sue for peace. Zhuge Jin, the Taishou of Nanjun, also wrote to Liu Bei, "Guan Yu's relatives, how can he be like the first emperor?" The size of Jingzhou, which is the same as the sea? The enmity of Wei and Wu, who should take it first? Please also ask Your Majesty to consider it" But Liu Bei didn't listen, but he didn't say anything in the face of his brother Zhuge Liang. So there were rumors that Zhuge Jin was in contact with Liu Bei in private, preparing to abandon Wu and join Shu. Sun Quan gave great trust to this, "Lone and Ziyu (Zhuge Jin, Ziyu) have an oath that life and death are not easy. Ziyu does not live up to loneliness, and still loneliness does not live up to Ziyu. Ziyu and Lone have been engaged in accumulation for many years, and they are as kind as flesh and blood. He is a person who is not righteous, and he is not righteous. Before the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang had come to ask for an alliance, and Lone asked Ziyu 'Brother is with his brother, and Yu Yi is obedient. Why don't you leave Kong Ming? If Kong Ming was willing to stay, Gu Dang personally wrote a letter to Liu Bei to explain the reason, and Ziyu replied to Gu, "My brother has lost his life." Commitment and determination, no two hearts. If you don't stay, you don't go', and your words are full of gods, how can you do such a thing now? Lone and Ziyu can be described as divine friends, not rumors. Now seal all these rumors and send them directly to Ziyu, so that he can understand Lone's trust in him"
Liu Bei ordered Wu Ban and Feng Xi to lead more than 40,000 people to break through Wu County, Yidu County, where Li Yi, Liu A and others were stationed, and then marched to Zigui County. The Wuxi barbarians of Wuling County sent troops to help in the battle. Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the governor of the capital, and on the holiday, he led Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Song Qian, Han Dang, Xu Sheng, Xian Yudan, Sun Huan generals and soldiers to 50,000 to reject Liu Bei.
In July, Cao Pi issued an edict to send his younger brothers: Yanling Marquis Cao Zhang, Wanhou Cao Ju, Luyang Marquis Cao Yu, Marquis Cao Lin, Zanhou Cao Yan, Xiangyi Marquis Cao Jun, Hongnong Marquis Cao Hu, Shouchun Marquis Cao Biao, Licheng Marquis Cao Hui, Pingyu Marquis Cao Mao and others, all of them were made dukes. The Marquis of Linjiang Cao Zhi and his supervisor Guan Jun reported that "drunk and rebellious, robbing and threatening the messenger" had a priest to ask Cao Zhi to be punished, and Cao Pi was hindered by the Empress Dowager Bian, but Cao Zhi was demoted to the Marquis of Anxiang, and soon changed the title of Marquis of Juancheng.
Cao Pi once asked the ministers of Wei to discuss whether Liu Bei would avenge Guan Yu and crusade against Sun Quan. Everyone thinks: Shu is a small country, and after Guan Yu's death, the country is afraid and will not dare to come out. Only Liu Ye thought that Liu Bei would definitely send troops. And the facts also confirmed Liu Ye's opinion.
In August, in order to avoid being attacked on both sides, Sun Quan took the initiative to send an envoy to Wei to proclaim his ministership, humbly resigned and paid tribute to the order, and sent Yu Ban, who had been in Wu for nearly two years. The courtiers all congratulated, and it was Liu Ye who objected, "Today, we have eight out of ten points." Wu and Shu each protect a state, block the mountains and rivers, and rescue each other in an emergency, which is the way for a small country to protect itself. But now they are fighting against each other, and the heavens are going to kill them. We should now send a large army across the river and attack Wu with Shu. If Wu dies, Shu is lonely, and it is difficult to survive for a long time. This is killing two birds with one stone" but Cao Pi didn't listen, "Now it's people who say that the ministers are coming to surrender, and I will fight against it, this move will make the world suspicious, how can I be gentle and far away"
On the 19th, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi sent Taichang Xing Zhen to hold the festival and go to confer Sun Quan as the general, the king of Wu, and the addition of Jiuxi. Liu Ye objected again, "Although Sun Quan is eloquent, he was just a general of the Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Nanchang when he was the first emperor, and it can be said that he was an official and a humble official." Now there is no problem in enclosing his name as a general, and he can also be named a 100,000 household marquis, but he cannot be crowned king or added him nine tin. The throne is only one level away from the throne, and its ceremonial rank is enough to mess with each other. If Sun Quan is crowned king, and then after retiring the Shu soldiers, he will definitely disobey His Majesty's yang and yin, and then His Majesty will be angry, and then raise troops to fight for it, but it will not be easy" Cao Pi did not listen.
