In January 220, Cao Cao came to Luoyang. At this time, Sun Quan suddenly sent Guan Yu's head. Although Cao Cao was 66 years old at this time and was about to die, years of political and military struggle still made him see through Sun Quan's plan at a glance. wanted Liu Bei to think that Guan Yu's death and Jingzhou's loss were Cao Cao's plans, and sent troops to take revenge on Cao Wei. How could the scheming Cao Cao fall for this? Immediately ordered Guan Yu's head to be buried with princely rites outside Luoyang City.

After doing this last thing, on the 23rd, a generation of heroes Cao Cao finally died in the world. Chen Shou commented on Emperor Wu of Wei in "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose together. Taizu strategized and whipped Unai. The spells of Lan Shen and Han, the strange strategies of Han and Bai, are officially conferred, each with its own instrument. Hypocrisy, do not remember the old evil, and eventually be able to always control the emperor's machine, and become a flood industry, but its clarity is the best. It can also be described as an extraordinary person, and the supernatural master is also "Sima Guang commented in "Zizhi Tongjian" that "knowing people is good at observing, and it is difficult to dazzle and be false." Recognize and pull out geniuses, not limited to lowly, and use whatever you can. With the hostile Chen, the meaning is leisurely, such as not wanting to fight. When it comes to the decisive victory, the momentum is overflowing. Reward for hard work, not stingy with money. There is no merit, and there is no difference. The usage is urgent, and if you commit a crime, you will be killed, or you will weep over it, and there will be no forgiveness. Elegance and frugality, not gorgeous. Therefore, it can be a group of heroes, a few flats in the sea"

The death of the supreme ruler was a huge and far-reaching political event in any country, especially during the period when the world was not yet united. The deceased is still Cao Cao. In this world, strongmen often have the fierce character of several animals, that is, the power of a tiger, the speed of a leopard, the eyesight of an eagle, and the cunning of a fox. What will the death of such a strongman bring? It can well be imagined! and also died in Luoyang, and the prince Cao Pi was not by his side because he stayed in the national capital Yecheng, and could not succeed to the throne. All this caused a commotion in the palace and the army at that time.

At such a critical moment, Jia Kui, Xu Xuan, Chen Jiao, Sima Fu and others stepped forward and finally stabilized the situation. But from this tense and sharp conflict, we also see the inevitable trend of historical development from the establishment of the Three Kingdoms to the unification of the Wei and Jin dynasties - the Wei and Jin dynasties are full of talents, far from being comparable to Shu Han and Eastern Wu! However, the talents of subordinate officials are outstanding, and on the other hand, there is also a unique crisis lurking. Sima Fu is the third brother of Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty, and Jia Chong, the son of Jia Kui, and Chen Qian, the son of Chen Jiao, are all heroes of the future Western Jin Dynasty. Their resoluteness and resoluteness demonstrated the strength of the Shi clan. The signs of entanglement may have been clearly revealed at the time of Cao Cao's death...

Some people in the Cao clan suggested that all the city guards should be replaced by hometown people who were born in Qian and Pei. was refuted sharply by Xu Xuan, "Now that the near and far are unified, everyone is loyal." If you are a full-time person who is in charge of the Yellow Turban Uprising, you will hurt the heart of the guard" Cao Cao's first batch of old subordinates Qingzhou soldiers who were recruited after quelling the Yellow Turban Uprising mutinied at this time and disbanded and returned home without authorization. Everyone thought they should go and ask for it. was stopped by Jia Kui, and ordered the counties along the way to provide food and lodging, and let him return. As for Cao Cao's funeral, the ministers all thought that it should be kept secret, but Jia Kui thought that this kind of major event could never be hidden, and it was better to publicly mourn than to let everyone speculate suspiciously.

These are some of the emergency measures that have been taken to stabilize people's minds. However, the most important thing at the moment is to let Cao Pi succeed to the throne quickly and grasp power in order to stabilize the overall situation. In order to achieve this goal, Luoyang, Yecheng, and Xudu have all taken urgent action. In Luoyang, in the face of leading troops to arrive and ask Cao Zhang, where the first king was located, Jia Kui replied righteously and awe-inspiringly, "The state has a prince, and this kind of thing is definitely not something that the prince can ask" At the same time, he arranged for Sima Yi and others to urgently send Cao Cao's Zigong back to Yecheng.

In Zhencheng, Sima Fu faced Cao Pi, who was crying, and admonished, "The first king has been driven, and the world depends on His Highness for his life." His Royal Highness should be the temple and the country, and there is no need to follow the filial piety of the husband" Facing the crying ministers, Sima Fu said, "The first king Yan drives, and the world is shaken." You should appoint an heir as soon as possible, so that you may rule all nations. But what's the use of crying" The ministers proposed to let the crown prince Cao Pi succeed to the throne, and they needed the edict of the Son of Heaven or the last order of the King of Wei to justify it. Chen Jiao said, "The first king is outside, and the world is afraid." What kind of etiquette can we pay attention to now? The crown prince should immediately succeed to the throne in order to keep the hope of the near and far. And the situation in Luoyang is unclear, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi brothers are there, in case life changes, this society is also in danger"

So something special happened. Within one day, the official prepared a ceremony, and everything needed for Cao Pi to inherit the throne was completed. Early the next morning, the queen Bian issued an order that the crown prince Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of Wei and granted amnesty. Mrs. Bian was revered as the Queen Mother.

In Xudu, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty wrote an edict under the persecution of Hua Xin, appointing Cao Pi as the prime minister, the king of Wei, and the pastor of Jizhou.

In January, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: change the Yuan to Yankang.

On February 4, Cao Pi ordered the abolition of the ban on Chiyuan, the reduction of taxes on Guanjin, and the reinstatement of tithes.

On the 5th, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty gave the princes and kings and generals the following Su Wanhu, silk thousands of horses and gold and silver. He also sent envoys to tour the counties, and once they found anyone who violated the law and tyrannical people, they played directly.

On the 16th, Cao Pi appointed Taizhong Doctor Jia Xu as Taiwei, Imperial Historian Hua Xin as Xiangguo, and Dali Wang Lang as Imperial Historian. It is for the three dukes of Wei.

In February, Cao Pi ordered Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, and all his younger brothers to return to their feudal state. and ordered that Ding Yi, Ding Yi, Ding Hui's brothers, who were Cao Zhi's fellow party members, be all killed.

In February, Cao Pi ordered the establishment of 4 free cavalry attendants and 4 attendants. It also stipulates that eunuchs shall not hold more official positions than the decrees. And this prohibition was written in the stone chamber of Jince, the hidden stone.

In February, Chen Qun, a representative of the scholar clan and a scholar, proposed to Cao Pi the Nine Grades Official Law. It is suggested that the central officials should be set up in each prefecture and county, and the central officials should evaluate the quality and ranking of all kinds of talents in their own prefectures and counties, and divide them into nine grades according to the virtuous and foolish, so as to use this as the basis for selecting talents to be officials, thus completely negating the principle of meritocracy that Cao Cao has always advocated and the probationary system that the Han Dynasty has always practiced. Cao Pi generously approved the implementation of the Han clan for his personal purpose of usurping the Han dynasty and seeking the support of the Shi officials. Compared with the inspection system at first, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system still had a certain positive significance, but it soon became a system in which the scholar class monopolized the right to be officials, resulting in the disadvantage of 'the upper grades have no poor families, and the lower grades have no nobles'. This malpractice lasted for nearly 400 years in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, until Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, replaced it with the imperial examination system...

In March, Cao's hometown of Qian County suddenly appeared Huanglong. There is a person named Yin Deng recalled that 44 years ago, there was the same scene of 'Huanglong Seeing the Confession', and at the same time, he also remembered that Taishi Ling Shan Biao said to Guanglu Doctor Qiao Xuan: "There should be a king here." In less than 50 years, this scene should reappear, and then it will be the time for the king to appear" For this flickering, whether you believe it or not, anyway, Cao Pi believes it. He also specially summoned Yin Deng and gave the valley 300 Hu.

On the 3rd, the former general Xiahoudun was promoted to general. On the 11th, Cao Pi ordered: The descendants of the deceased Mao Jue, Wang Xiu, Liang Mao, Yuan Lian, Xie Huan, Wan Qian, Xu Yi, Guoyuan and others were named Langzhong.

In March, Filth, Fuyu Shan Yu, Yan Qi, and Yu Zhen Wang all sent envoys to dedicate.

On April 12, the appearance of white pheasants was reported in Rao'an County, Bohai County. Cao Pi ordered the exemption of land rent in Rao'an County; The people of Bohai County were given cattle and wine for every 100 households, and they drank for three days; Ordered the Taichang official to sacrifice to the ancestral temple with the rite of the ether prison.

On the 25th, the general Xiahoudun died.

On May 3, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: posthumously honoring Cao Cao's father Cao Song as the prince and his mother Ding as the queen. He also named Cao Pi's son Cao Rong as the Marquis of Wude.

In May, Zuo Fengyi's bandits Zheng Gan, Wang Zhao and Lu Shuihu led the crowd to surrender. Cao Pi was overjoyed and named Zheng and Wang as marquis.

In May, the Qiyi of Xiping County raised troops and openly opposed Zou Qi, the assassin of Liangzhou, who was sent by Cao Pi. Zhang Jin of Zhangye County and Huang Hua of Jiuquan County also took down Du Tong and Xin Ji in their respective counties, claiming to be Taishou and uniting with Lu Yanlian. The three Hu of Wuwei County also took the opportunity to rebel. Wuwei Taishou Wu Qiu Xing hurriedly asked Jincheng Taishou and Huqiang Captain Su Ze for help. At that time, two generals, Hao Zhao and Wei Ping, were stationed in Jincheng County, but they were not allowed to fight unless they were edicted. Su Ze's subordinates thought that the thieves were too strong and that they could only go out to save people after the army was assembled.

For this reason, Su Ze specially summoned everyone to a meeting, pointing out that although the thieves are strong, they may not be of the same heart with each other. And the time to wait for the imperial edict and the assembly of the army will give the rebels time to run in. Therefore, it is better to counterbalance the rebellion sooner rather than later. Hao Zhao and others were moved on the spot, and first sent troops to quell the rebellion of Wuwei Sanhu, and then joined forces with Wuqiu Xing to attack Zhang Jin in Zhangye County. After learning the news, he led 3,000 cavalry to arrive, in the name of helping the war, and he really wanted to change. But Su Ze saw through it, lured the koji performance, and his party dispersed. Then, Su Ze led his troops to besiege Zhangye. The city was broken, and Zhang Jin was killed. Huang Hua of Jiuquan County immediately realized that the next target would be himself, and hurriedly sent envoys to surrender, and Hexi was pacified.

Dunhuang County is located in the northwesternmost corner of the seven counties of Liangzhou. At that time, it coincided with the death of Taishou Ma Ai, and Gongcao Zhang Gong was elected by everyone to act as the president of history. Zhang Gong sent his son Zhang to Xudu and asked the imperial court to send his successor Taishou to come. However, the road to the imperial court had been blocked, and Zhang naturally fell into the hands of the rebels. But Zhang would rather die than give in, and secretly wrote a letter to his father, telling him not to think of himself and to insist on loyalty. After Zhang Gong received the letter, he sent troops to attack Jiuquan County, and sent 200 iron cavalry and Fuzhong officials and subordinates to the east along the northern boundary of Jiuquan County to meet the new Taishou Yin Feng sent by the imperial court. In the end, after the Liangzhou rebellion was put down, Yin Feng was able to take office safely, Zhang was rescued, and Zhang Gong was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

On June 7, Cao Pi paraded in the eastern suburbs of Yecheng. On the 26th, the mighty southern tour. Huo Xing was persuaded to do so, but Cao Pi not only did not listen, but ordered him to be executed.

On July 6, Cao Pi issued an order, ordering all officials to do their own duties and do their best.

In July, Sun Quan sent an envoy to dedicate. Yang Fu, the king of Wudu, led his clan to attach it and was placed in Hanyang County.

In July, the Shu general Meng Dayin was at odds with Liu Bei's adopted son Liu Feng, and led more than 4,000 troops to surrender to Cao Pi with Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan. For some reason, Cao Pi likes Meng Da very much, and he is the same as him. And named Meng Da as a loose cavalry attendant, a general of Jianwu, and a marquis of Pingyang Pavilion. The three counties of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng were merged into Xincheng County, and Mengda was appointed as the Taishou of Xincheng and entrusted with the task of southwest. Liu Ye advised, but Cao Pi did not listen. He also ordered Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang to lead their troops to attack Liu Feng with Meng Da. Liu Feng was defeated and fled back to the CD.

Liu Fengben is the son of Luohou Kou. After Liu Bei's defeat in Runan, when he first arrived in Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao, Liu Chan had not yet been born, and Liu Bei had no children under his knees, so he adopted Liu Feng as a son (Liu Bei named his adopted son "Feng" for his parents and children "Zen", which shows that he had long been ambitious to be the emperor) Zhuge Liang was worried about Liu Feng's fierce personality, and he was afraid that after Liu Bei's death, Liu Chan would not be able to control Liu Feng, so he strongly persuaded Liu Bei to take the opportunity to kill Liu Feng. Liu Feng died innocently like this...

On the 20th, Cao Pi arrived in Qian County. A banquet was held in the east of Yidong, the six armies and the elders of the county were rewarded, and a hundred plays were set up, and the officials and the people had to live one after another, day and night.

In July, Cao Pi appointed Jia Kui as the assassin of Yuzhou. At that time, the world was initially decided, and many states could not exercise their powers normally. Jia Kui, on the other hand, took the lead in setting an example: Officials at all levels below 2,000 stone in Yuzhou were impeached and dismissed if they were arrogant and lawless. He also repaired the military brigade externally, governed the civil affairs internally, revitalized the fields, and transported canals, winning the unanimous praise of the officials and the people. Cao Pi also recognized "Jia Kui is the true assassination history", so he gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei. And proclaim to the world, when Yuzhou as the law.

On October 1, Cao Pi issued an order: The soldiers who died in battle would be buried by each county, and the officials would set up sacrifices.

In October, Zuo Zhonglang played Li Fu first, and asked Cao Pi to conform to the will of heaven and the people, and ascend the throne as emperor. Rejected by Cao Pi. Subsequently, Xin Bi, Liu Ye, Shangshu Linghuanjie, Shangshu Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Wang Yu, Dong Yu and others jointly played, but they were rejected by Cao Pi. On the 9th, Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi played various prophecies of the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, but was rejected by Cao Pi. Then Xin Bi, Liu Ye, Fu Xun, Wei Zhen, Huan Jie, Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Dr. Su Lin, Dong Ba and others jointly played; In the Imperial History of the Overseer, Sima Yi, Zheng Hun, Yang Yuan, Bao Xun, Wu Zhou and others jointly played, all of them were rejected by Cao Pi without exception.

On the 13th, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty convened the ministers, told the high temple of the ancestral hall, and ordered the imperial historian Zhang Yin to hold the festival and the edict of the seal, and read the edict of the Zen position. On the 18th, Cao Pi, the king of Wei, wrote his resignation. On the 20th, Liu Xie gave in for the second time. On the 22nd, Cao Pi wrote for the second time. On the 25th, Liu Xie gave up for the third time. On the 27th, Cao Pi wrote his resignation for the third time. On the 28th, Liu Xie gave in for the last time. This time, Cao Pi finally agreed "reluctantly", and ordered to immediately build a meditation platform in Fanyang in Yingyin County.
