In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Cao died, and Cao Pi, the son of Wei, succeeded him as the king of Wei and continued to serve as prime minister, becoming the leader of Cao Wei's new generation.

【Prince Cao Pi】

Cao Pi, whose name is Zihuan, was born in Qian County in the fourth year of Zhongping (187), and his mother was Mrs. Bian.

It is said that as early as the fifth year of Emperor Xiping of the Han Dynasty (176), a yellow dragon appeared in the sky above Qiaoxian County, and Guanglu Doctor Qiao Xuan asked Taishi Ling Shan Yang and said: "What is this auspicious omen?" Shan Yang replied: "In the future, there will be a person who will be the king born here, and in less than fifty years, there will be a yellow dragon appearing, and the celestial phenomena often correspond to personnel, which is the induction of heaven and man." Yin Deng, a native of Neihuang (now northwest of Neihuang, Henan), silently wrote down these words. Forty-five years later, Yin Deng is still alive. In March of the first year of Yankang, Huanglong reappeared in Qian County, and when Yin Deng heard the news, he said: "Shan Yang's words have really come true now." ”

According to the "Book of Wei", when the emperor was born, there were clouds of blue and round like a car cover when it was on it, all day long, those who looked at the qi thought that it was the most noble evidence, not the spirit of the ministers. At the age of eight, he can belong to the literature. There are Yicai, so he runs through the ancient and modern scriptures and transmits the books of hundreds of schools. Good at riding and shooting, good at fencing. Lift Maocai, no.

When Cao Pi was young, Cao Cao taught him to ride a horse and archery, during the Jian'an period, the young Cao Pi had already begun to follow his father to the east to the north, in the battle of Wancheng, because of Zhang Xiu's rebellion, Cao Pi's brother Cao Ang died in battle, when Cao Pi was only ten years old, and finally escaped on horseback. Later, Cao Pi followed Cao Cao to break through Yecheng, when Cao Pi was only seventeen years old, and accepted Yuan Xi's wife Zhen as a concubine.

After Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao once considered setting up Cao Chong as his heir, and later Cao Chong died early, Cao Cao was grief-stricken, but still not ready to set up his eldest son Cao Pi as the son, but considered Cao Zhi, of course, because Cao Zhi was extraordinary at that time, quite popular with Cao Cao, but it also has a relationship with Cao Pi's own ability, "Book of Wei" has a record of "lifting Mao Cai, no", and later Situ Zhao Wen recommended Cao Pi, but was dismissed by Cao Cao, because Cao Cao thought that Zhao Wen's motives were not pure, and Cao Pi's ability was insufficient.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Pi was appointed as the general and deputy prime minister of Wuguan, and was finally made the son of Cao Cao and became the heir of Cao Wei. Among them, Cao Pi's bonus as the eldest son is very large, and he has received the support of many ministers.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Wei Wei conspired to attack Yecheng, and Chen Yi, who was an accomplice with him, surrendered, and Cao Pi led the crowd to pacify and kill Wei Wei.

In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Cao died in Luoyang, when Cao Pi was still in Yecheng, and Jia Kui presided over the funeral. Jia Kui said with a stern face: "The prince is in Ye County, and the country already has a prince, and the seal of the first king is not what you should ask." With that, he escorted the coffin back to Ye County.

According to the "Wei Luo" record, the soldiers and people in Luoyang at that time were quite hard to serve, and the army rioted because of the loss of its commander. Some people advocate suppressing the news and not mourning for the time being. Jia Kui did not adopt this opinion, and insisted on sending envoys to various places to mourn, so that both internal and external officials came to mourn. When the Qingzhou soldiers heard that the commander was dead, they scattered in batches beating drums. The ministers believed that the Qingzhou soldiers should be immediately banned from disregarding military discipline, and those who did not obey should be punished. Jia Kui thinks that the king of Wei has been buried, and the new king of the heir has not yet been established, so it is best to appease the **** at this time. So he persuaded the ministers and sent an official letter to the commander of the Qingzhou army, so that they could get food care from the local officials on the way home. In this way, a commotion was quelled.

After Cao Cao's death, the ministers all went to the main hall to mourn, at this time someone suggested that the guards of each city should be replaced by Peiguo and Qian County people (Cao Cao's hometown), Xu Xuan sternly opposed: "Now that the distance and the near are unified, everyone is loyal and observant, why should the guards be replaced by Peiguo and Qian County people, and hurt the hearts of the local long-term garrison generals?" When Cao Pi heard this, he exclaimed: "This is the kind of minister of society that people often say!"

At that time, Cao Pi, the son of Wei, cried after learning that his father Cao Cao had died, and Sima Fu, the middle concubine, admonished: "The emperor has just died, and the world must rely on the orders of His Royal Highness." It should be up for the ancestors, down for the world, how can you imitate the filial piety of the common people! It took a long time for the prince to stop and say, "Aiqing is right. ”

As soon as the ministers heard that the king of Wei had died, they gathered together and wept bitterly, no longer paying attention to the order. Sima Fu scolded the courtiers in a stern voice: "Now that the emperor has just died, the world is shocked and turbulent, you should appoint a successor monarch as soon as possible to stabilize the world, but (you) are only crying here!" Sima Fu and Shangshu and Qia dispersed the ministers together, arranged the defense of the palace ban, prepared funeral matters, and supported the succession of Cao Pi, the son of Wei.

At first, the ministers of Yedu all thought that if the crown prince Cao Pi was to attack Cao Cao's title, he had to wait for an official edict from the Son of Heaven before it could be implemented. Shangshu Chen Jiao objected: "The king died outside, and the whole world was afraid. The crown prince (referring to Cao Pi) should put aside his grief and immediately succeed to the throne to stabilize the heart of the world. Moreover, the other sons of the king (Cao Chang and others) are also nearby, and if they do not act immediately, some people may have different intentions and cause chaos in the order between them, so that the society will face a major crisis. ”

So after Chen Jiao set up the proper etiquette, he pretended to let Cao Pi attack the knight under the order of Mrs. Bian and give amnesty to the world. Cao Pi said afterwards: "Even in the face of such a major incident, Chen Jibi can still show his bright and overlooked side, and he can be said to be a handsome man for a while!" ”

Soon, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sent the imperial historian Hua Xin with an edict to grant Cao Pi the seal ribbon of the prime minister and the seal of the king of Wei, and still served as the pastor of Jizhou, so Cao Pi respected his mother Bian as the queen mother.

In the same year, the year name was changed to Yankang, and the first year of Yankang was the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he appointed Jia Xu, the Taizhong doctor, as the captain, Hua Xin, the imperial historian, as the Xiangguo, Wang Lang of Dali, as the imperial historian, and Xiahoudun as the general. Cao Pi also placed four free cavalry attendants and four attendants, and ordered that the position of eunuch should not exceed the level of the public decree, and engraved this edict on the golden book and stored it in the stone room.

At the same time, Cao Pi ordered the Marquis of Yanling, Cao Zhang, and others to return to their fiefdoms. In line with Cao Pi's intentions, the Linhou Cao Zhi's supervisor Guan Jun pandered to Cao Pi's intentions and said: "Linhou Cao Zhi was a drunkard, and his words were reckless and slow, and he moved and coerced the envoys of the King of Wei. Cao Pi belittled Cao Zhi as the Marquis of Anxiang, and Cao Zhi's henchmen, Ding Yi, a native of Peiguo, and Ding Hui, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and the two men were all executed.
