It's past the New Year, and it's the New Year. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In Chang'an City, there is no festive atmosphere, as if shrouded in haze.

Before it was dark, the gates of the city were locked; In the imperial city, it is even more heavily guarded, revealing a solemn atmosphere.

Cao Rui snuggled in his mother's arms.

But it's not his own mother-in-law Zhen Mi, but his step-mother.

It is now the seventh year of Taiping, that is, in the year 220 AD. In the original history, Cao Cao died in this year. But now, Cao Cao's bones are gone, and he will always stay in Jiming Mountain to protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Wei.

But the wheel of history still has to take the life of an emperor in this year.

That's Cao Zhang!

Cao Rui is fifteen years old this year.

Seven years of royal life have given him an extraordinary maturity compared to his peers.

In the Zichen Pavilion, the lights are dim.

Mrs. Bian cried bitterly and lay on the couch almost fainting. On the couch, there was a man lying down...... Dressed in imperial crown clothes, he described it as peaceful, as if he was asleep. He is Cao Zhang! The emperor who Cao Rui called his father. However, at this moment, Cao Zhang was motionless, and he no longer had the dragon spirit and tiger of the past.

"Your Majesty, why did you just leave!"

Mrs. Bian cried out, tears soaking through her clothes.

This is a hard-working woman, born in a prostitute family, married to Cao Cao. first lost his beloved son Cao Pi, then lost his husband Cao Cao, and now he has lost his beloved son. This successive blows made Mrs. Bian unable to bear it anymore. The pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, she had already endured it once. But now, she's going to have to endure it again......

Zhen Zhaoyi also cried bitterly!

She and Cao Zhangqin are compatible, Cao Zhang was already ready to set her up as the queen, but she didn't want to be sick.

And Cao Rui stared at Cao Zhang with a pair of big black eyes.

Outside the Zichen Pavilion, Wu Yan stood with a spear in his hand, and his tiger eyes were wide.

Wu Yan, who is only nineteen years old, is already eight feet tall, and he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looks mighty.

Grew up with Cao Rui since childhood.

Now Wu Yan has become a guard of the imperial city, specializing in protecting Cao Rui.

He was born with divine power and strong martial arts. Among the guards of the imperial city, known as the 'Tiger', no one is invincible.

Wu Yan knew that at this moment, he needed to cheer up 120,000 points.

"Queen Mother, please stop grieving.

Your Majesty is dead, and it will be difficult to hide it...... When the court meets tomorrow, it will be revealed to the world, so that you and I are in danger. ”

Zhen Zhaoyi comforted softly, and finally calmed down Mrs. Bian.

Since Cao Zhang fell ill, the sons of the Cao family began to move again. Needless to say, Cao Chong has colluded with Cao Biao, Cao Ju, and Cao Yu to form a faction; Even Cao Zhang's biological brother Cao Zhi couldn't care about Cao Cao and his Tianxian number, and hurriedly returned to Chang'an to make the wind and rain......

In the face of the throne, no matter how close the brothers are, they will also turn against each other.

Mrs. Bian really doesn't know what to do.

Cao Cao said before his death: Zijian is useless, and Cangshu is too cold.

If Zijian succeeds to the throne, the country will be in danger; If Cangshu succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult for the sons to give birth...... Only Ziwen can be up to the task.

It's a pity that the world is unified, but in just two years, Cao Zhang is gone!

If Cao Zhang has an heir, that's fine......

But he has three daughters under his knees, but there are no men. The only male who still passed from Cao Peng's knee is Cao Rui.

Originally, according to Mrs. Bian's idea, Cao Zhang was not very old, and sooner or later he would have a son.

Unexpectedly, Jiangdong's poisonous arrow made him step down at once. Although after returning to Chang'an, many women were also lucky, but there was no result. This also made Mrs. Bian feel very embarrassed.

Let Cao Zhi succeed to the throne?

But Cao Cao said that he was useless.

Mrs. Bian also knows her son very well.

reciting poetry, Cao Zhicai is unparalleled; But when it comes to governing the world, Cao Zhi is too idealistic, far less down-to-earth than Cao Zhang. Cao Chong, not to mention! If he succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that few of the sons will have a good death. And the only legitimate successor, Cao Rui, is a successor.

This made Mrs. Bian hesitate.

However, the news of Cao Zhang's death cannot be hidden.

The successor must also be chosen as soon as possible. The kingdom cannot be without such a king for a day! If it is left vacant for a long time, it will inevitably cause unrest. Mrs. Bian couldn't help but sweep her gaze to Cao Rui in Zhen Zhaoyi's arms.

saw Cao Rui with tears in his eyes and a sad look on his face.

How to choose?

"King Lingwu, where is it now?"

Zhen Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "Yue has been gone for three months...... It stands to reason that King Lingwu has already been met. However, it is said that King Lingwu went north this time to expand his territory thousands of miles away. What is it said to be in the North Sea...... I remember that His Majesty gave the North Sea the name of the Blessed Sea, which was very far away. ”

He ...... Can you make it back? ”

Zhen Zhaoyi looked at Cao Rui in her arms and glanced at Mrs. Bian.

"Yuan Zhong, accompany your father here...... The mother has already asked Bolong and Zhonglong, and it is estimated that they will come over after a while. ”

Bolong is Cao Yang.

And Zhonglong is Cao Yun, the son of Buluan, who is sixteen years old this year, one year older than Cao Rui. Last year, he served as the Sima of the Imperial City. Cao Rui has a good relationship with Cao Yang and Cao Yun, and there is also Sima Jiang Wei of the city gate, who is also extremely friendly. In addition, Cao Rui is relatively close, as well as Fu Yan, who is fourteen years old, Deng Ai, who is twenty years old, and Sima Deng Quan, who is fourteen years old......

Of course, there is also Wuhiko, who is guarding outside the main hall at the moment.

Cao Rui nodded, silently walked to the edge of the dragon couch and sat down. He stretched out his little hand and tugged the bright yellow silk mattress on Cao Zhang's body......

Zhen Zhaoyi and Mrs. Bian saw it in their eyes and couldn't help nodding lightly.

"Yesterday, the Governor of Zilian reported that King Lingwu had arrived in Qiuzi ten days ago, and it was estimated that it would take at least ten days to return to Chang'an.

The problem is that neither the Marquis of Linzi nor the Marquis of Ye will give us this time.

The Queen Mother should prepare early. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, once Your Majesty ...... There will be chaos in the court. ”

"This ......"

Mrs. Bian hesitated.

After a while, she said softly, "Yuan Zhong, is it appropriate?" ”

Zhen Zhaoyi bit her lip, "Yuan Zhong ascended the throne, you and I still have a way to live; If Cangshu ascends the throne, I am afraid that the one in the Anle Palace will not want you and me to have a good time. However, if Yuan Zhong wants to ascend the throne, it is also difficult. ”

Mrs. Bian was silent.

The night was deep, and a light rain began to fall.

Mrs. Bian shuddered, suddenly made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and said, "No matter what, you have to hold on until King Lingwu returns." ”

"That's right!"

Zhen Zhaoyi secretly let out a sigh of relief.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As Zhen Zhaoyi guessed, the news of Cao Zhang's death could not be concealed.

The next day, with the ringing of the bronze bell in the imperial city, the news of Cao Zhang's return to heaven was also announced. For a time, Chang'an was in turmoil.

Fortunately, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others are still there, and the situation was quickly stabilized.

Immediately, Cao Zhang's funeral was negotiated, and a mourning hall was set up in the imperial city.

Cao Zhang is dead, who can take over the throne?

Cao Zhang had no children and only one step-son...... And the sons of the Cao family, how could they watch Cao Rui ascend to the throne?

So on the same day, Cao Zhi raised questions at the court meeting.

Maybe in his mind, Mrs. Bian would definitely push him out. But with Cao Cao's words, it is impossible for Mrs. Bian to agree.

"Now that Your Majesty has died, the country cannot be without such a king for a day.

The first emperor once had an edict that the Marquis of Linzi should be a free marquis...... Could it be that the Marquis of Linzi has forgotten? This palace thinks that the year of Ye Hou is twenty and four, which is the time of full energy. Moreover, since he is the brother of His Majesty, it is only fitting that he should take over the throne. I don't know what you think is recommended by this palace? ”

Before Mrs. Huan finished speaking, she saw Cao Biao jump out.

"It is most appropriate for the five emperor brothers to take over the throne...... Ben Hou also agrees, which one is against? ”

This Cao Biao was born burly, and his appearance is quite similar to Cao Cao.

A pair of fine eyes, with a dark complexion, revealing a strong murderous aura.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.

Xun Yu smiled slightly, "What Puyang Hou said is extremely ...... However, His Majesty's bones are not cold, and he is so eager to choose a successor, I am afraid that His Majesty will be disrespectful. Besides, who succeeds to the throne is not determined by having a loud voice. It's best to discuss this matter carefully, so as not to ruin the harmony of the royal family because of this.

Emperor Xian, this matter is the most important. ”

Cao Biao's voice was very loud, and he was stabbed by Xun Yu without pain, and he was immediately furious.

He was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Cao Chong.

"What the prime minister said is very true, but the queen mother just said that the country cannot be without a king for a day.

If we can't choose a successor earlier, I'm afraid that the world will be uneasy...... Therefore, Ben Hou thinks that it is better to choose the right person first to stabilize people's hearts. Even if the accession to the throne is slightly delayed, it is not impossible. ”

Xun Yu's cheeks twitched slightly.

But there was still a faint smile on his face.

He turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia immediately understood.

"Marquis Ye is reasonable, but when the first emperor died, he was alone in King Lingwu.

Now Your Majesty is unfortunately gone, and the choice of successor is best to ask King Lingwu to return and then make a decision. ”

Cao Chong's face changed suddenly.

He subconsciously looked at Cao Rui, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

Cao Rui instinctively shrank back, but when he saw Cao Yang and the others standing behind him, he suddenly became bold.

"Marquis Ye, why are you in Chang'an?"

"Huh?"

"I remember that my father had an edict that the Marquis of Ye was not allowed to return to Chang'an.

Mother, can the father and emperor still pay the marquis? If not, Ye Hou will not obey the order......"

The immature voice echoed in the hall.

Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart.

And Cao Chong's face turned blue and glared at Cao Rui viciously.

Cao Biao was furious, "Milky boy, how can you be presumptuous here?" ”

He stood up and strode towards Cao Rui.

Wu Yan, Cao Yang, Cao Yun, and Jiang Wei immediately blocked Cao Biao sideways: "Puyang Hou, what do you want?" ”

Cao Rui also stood up and said sharply: "Marquis of Puyang, your father's bones are not cold, you are so presumptuous, can you be guilty?" ”

The confrontation of the younger generation made Mrs. Huan unable to interject.

And Mrs. Bian and Zhen Zhaoyi didn't say a word.

Cao Biao said angrily: "Boy An dares to be so rude? A certain family is presumptuous, who dares to punish me? ”

Before the words fell, a loud voice was heard from outside the hall.

"Others can't cure you, how about treating you alone?"

As he spoke, he saw a meteor striding into the main hall.

Behind him, the more and more the same goes.

More than 100 warriors wearing gold armor and holding Ge Hula poured into the hall. There are also two two generals, one holding a steel knife in his arms, walking with a murderous aura. The two veterans walked into the main hall and stood on both sides.

And the one who spoke took two quick steps, came to the main hall, bowed down to the coffin in the hall, and wept bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the minister hurried and hurried, but it was still a step too late."

As soon as this person appeared, the ministers in the main hall suddenly became commotion.

And Xun Yu Guo Jia looked happy, glanced at each other, and hurriedly got up to meet him, "King Lingwu, why did you come so quickly?" ”

In order to rush back to Chang'an, I ran away with three sweaty BMWs.

Hmph, don't think that a Xiao Pass can block the king's way back.

This king wants to come to Chang'an, but he can't be stopped by a little Guan Wei! Queen Mother, the death of Your Majesty today is indeed sudden. Just now, the Marquis of Ye said, 'The country cannot be without a king for a day', and this king thinks so. Although His Majesty has not established a successor, it is only natural that the father dies and the son succeeds him. The minister recommended the martial arts Hou Cao Rui, ladies and gentlemen, who is in favor and who is against? ”

The person who came was Cao Peng.

Since receiving the news, he has been traveling day and night to rush back to Chang'an.

Although there are small obstacles on the way, as Cao Peng said: I want to pass, who dares to stop me?

Cao Peng's sudden appearance made the atmosphere in the court suddenly change.

Cao Biao and others, who were still arrogant before, suddenly died down. Cao Peng's body was dusty, but he did not change his majestic momentum. Fighting in the main hall, the tiger's eyes looked around, and the ministers suddenly closed their mouths, and they were silent.

Cao Rui's eyes turned red all of a sudden!

Daddy!

Daddy, he's finally back......

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and immediately got up and said: "The martial arts marquis is young and smart, and he is indeed suitable for succession." ”

And Xiahou on the side also got up immediately: "If it is not a martial arts marquis, no one can succeed him." ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "Martial Arts Hou, it is indeed suitable. ”

"King Lingwu recommends, Yichen thinks in his heart." Cao Ren said, smiled at Cao Peng, and closed his eyes again.

"Martial Arts Hou is the most suitable!" Former general Xu Huang said.

"Reconsideration." Chen Qun spoke.

In the main hall, Dian Wei, who had been silent on the side and stood around his chest, stood up and shouted: "The first emperor is passed on to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is the son of the first emperor; Now that His Majesty has died, it should be passed on to the heirs, how can it be said that the brother died and the brother died? Is it possible, I also want to learn from the Hu people in the Central Plains...... Isn't it true that even the old lady has to leave with him? It's really unorthodox! Wugong Hou is the most suitable, what does Zhong Kang think? ”

Dian Wei is notoriously stingy.

When he says this, it involves cultural traditions.

Mrs. Huan's face was flushed, and she glared at Dian Wei.

But Dian Wei didn't care.

Xu Chu scratched his head, "Jun Ming is really vulgar when he speaks, he has read books for many years, but he is still not in a proper manner."

However, what you just said is also reasonable.

Your Majesty obviously has an heir, why do you turn a blind eye? ”

Nima, can you be a little more shameless?

The ministers scolded angrily in their hearts: Didn't you look like a shrunken quail just now, now that King Lingwu is back, you will jump out. It's just that you jumped out, and you still dragged us in, wouldn't it make King Lingwu misunderstand?

This tiger idiot is not a son of man......

Cao Chong looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.

Even the ministers who had previously said that they supported his succession changed their minds one by one with the appearance of Cao Peng.

Five years!

Cao Peng has been away from Chang'an for five years, but his reputation is still there.

The name of King Cao Yan still carries an incomparable deterrent power.

And when he came back, the Fu people who had not expressed their stance before also jumped out one by one.

That's right, Cao Peng seems to have come alone.

But this is full of Chang'an, and there are countless protégés and former officials......

Guo Huai, the captain of the city gate, came from his subordinates, Wang Ping, the captain of Yueqi, and Zhang Wei, the captain of the shooting sound, were also his subordinates. There are also people who hold Jin Wu Wu Cang, as well as Taishou and Dadu Governors scattered all over the place...... Even Cao Zhang's cronies Zheng Du, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, and Zhang Ren also agreed with Cao Peng's recommendation. How amazing is this prestige?

It's not that they didn't want to express their stance before, but they didn't know Cao Peng's attitude yet.

Cao Peng stepped forward and waved to Mrs. Bian, "Queen Mother, the country can't be without a king for a day!" Asking the prince to ascend the throne has made the hearts of the people. ”

Mrs. Bian looks at this situation, where can she not know the situation?

That's right, Cao Peng is not in Chang'an, but Cao Peng's connection with Chang'an has never been severed.

At this moment, Deng Ji strode into the main hall.

He brought with him a list of the ministers of the DPRK and China who had promised to support Cao Chong.

"The minister has searched his home and found several edicts from the Marquis of Ye, so he specially asked the Queen Mother to decide."

Edict?

It's like rebellion.

Cao Chong's face was blue for a while, white for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly laughed!

"King Lingwu, what do you want to do with me?"

The word "disposal" is excessive...... Ye Hou was only instigated by others to act today. Before the death of the first emperor, he did not like chaos in his family the most. The minister didn't dare to deal with the Marquis of Ye, so he only asked the Marquis of Ye to move to Fuyu County to deter the alien Xiaoxiao, I don't know if it is possible? ”

Buyeo?

It's like a wilderness!

Although there have been many changes in recent years, it is a bitter cold place.

"No, you can't!"

Mrs. Huan screamed and got up to stop her.

saw Cao Chong smile miserably, "Mother, do you want your child to die?" ”

If you don't let me go to Buyeo, then I will only die......

He turned around suddenly, looked at Cao Peng, and lowered his voice after a while: "Teacher, if Jian'an is nine years old, what will be the result if Chong can speak up?" ”

Cao Peng, stunned!

"Cangshu, if you speak up, it will not be Cangshu."

Is it still useful to say this?

Cao Chong laughed miserably, turned around and left the main hall.

Cao Zhi, on the other hand, was pale.

Cao Peng looked around at everyone in the hall, took a deep breath, strode to Cao Rui's side, and stretched out his hand, "Please martial arts marquis ascend the throne!" ”

That little hand, held tightly by a big hand.

Cao Rui's mind suddenly came to Cao Peng's words on the eve of leaving Chang'an five years ago.

"My son, no matter when, you will be my son after all...... No matter what Daddy is, he won't let you be wronged. If my son is wronged, even if he is far away, he will come to my son to make the decision. ”

Daddy, you didn't lie to me!

Cao Rui wanted to cry, but he knew that he couldn't cry at this time.

He followed Cao Peng up the jade steps and came to the front of the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne."

Cao Peng was on the side and bowed.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted at the same time, "Please Your Majesty ascend the throne!" ”

The shout startled Cao Rui.

But when he saw Cao Peng on the side, as well as Cao Yang Cao Yun and Jiang Weiwuyan who bowed to him under the jade steps, his panicked mood calmed down suddenly. I have a father, what am I afraid of?

Cao Rui learned from Cao Peng's appearance just now and took a deep breath.

sat down on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "Zhongqing, flat!" ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A turmoil was accompanied by Cao Peng's return and turned invisible.

In the first month of the seventh year of Taiping, Cao Rui ascended the throne and was known as Emperor Wei Zhaowen in history!

Cao Rui changed the name of the Yuan Taiping era to the Taizheng year, and immediately canonized the civil and military officials, and ordered the pardon of the world.

In the second year of Taisho, Cao Chong, who was then the Marquis of Buyeo, died of illness in Buyeo at the age of 25.

Some people say that Cao Chong died of depression; Some people also say that Cao Chong died at the hands of Cao Peng...... There are many opinions, and it is difficult to discern.

However, in the same year, Mrs. Huan became a monk in the imperial city.

It wasn't until ten years later that she died of illness in the Langya Palace built for her by Cao Rui. After her death, the mausoleum of Mrs. Huan was built next to Cao Chong's tomb, known as Empress Wu in history. For another three years, Mrs. Bian was buried in the Anle Palace, known as Empress Wen in history, and was buried on the side of Cao Cao's mausoleum.

In the third year of Taisho, Lu Han was attached.

pushed Cao Rui's prestige to the top.

Cao Rui set up six counties in the Han Kingdom of the Lü clan, and then named Cao Nian, the lord of the Han State of the Lü clan, as the Marquis of Han......

Overall, in the first fifteen years of Taisho, the Great Wei Dynasty was full of vitality and vitality.

Cao Peng worshiped King Wu of Wei and was based in Chang'an.

However, he did not interfere too much in the government affairs, and spent most of his time with his parents, wife and children.

In the fifteenth year of Taisho, Zhang and Cao Ji both died of illness.

Cao Peng took this opportunity to resign as a general, helped his parents' coffins to return to Zhongyang Mountain in Nanyang, and buried his parents in Zhongyang Mountain. It was also in this year that Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Rui, officially abolished the post of prime minister and established a cabinet.

In the same year, Cao Rui changed the era name Dazheng to Datong and began a new reform.

At this time, the older generation of the Great Wei Dynasty retreated one after another.

Xun You and Cheng Yu died of illness one after another, and Jia Xu and Xun Yu also went into hiding. Among Cao Cao's five masterminds, only Guo Jiashang was in the court, but he rarely cared about government affairs. And Zhuge Jun, Pang Tong, Buqi and other cadres have entered the center. Cao Yang and Jiang Wei joined the cabinet at the age of 30.

The following year, Cai Yan died of illness......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.

With the consolidation of the Great Wei regime, Cao Rui has reigned for twenty-five years.

From an immature little emperor, he has become a master who is in power and dictates the dynasty. It was also in this year that Cao Rui officially established Taoism as the state religion and opened a new page for the Great Wei Dynasty.

And this year, Cao Peng is sixty years old!

"Ah Fu, sometimes I wonder, who are you?"

A giant high-class keel sea ship, riding the wind and waves on the sea.

Huang Yueying leaned on Cao Peng's body, but behind her, she saw the women of Buluan, who were gathering in one place, pushing mahjong and frolicking.

"Me?"

Cao Peng was stunned when he heard this, and said dumbly: "I'm not me...... Who else could your husband be? ”

"But I still think you have a lot of secrets.

You know? It's your kind of mystery that makes the concubine feel curious...... I married you because of curiosity. But until now, the concubine still can't see through you! Because in you, there is still a lot of mystery. ”

"If you can't see through, you haven't worked hard enough.

It's okay, I'm only sixty this year, and we have enough time for you to get to know ...... Hahaha! ”

Cao Peng said, and couldn't help laughing.

"Lord Wang, look?"

Just when Cao Peng was looking up to the sky and laughing, he suddenly heard someone shouting.

Looking in the direction of the man's finger, a fleet of ships was slowly approaching in the distance.

"It's General Du's ship!"

"Really? Could it be that General Du has already conquered Fusang Island? ”

"It must be so...... How could that barbarian be General Du's opponent? Besides, there are also General Fu and General Jiang Wei, how can those barbarians please him? ”

Cao Peng smiled!

He turned his head to Huang Yueying and said, "Earlier, Boyo wrote that he had captured the Japanese queen Himiko...... Thinking that it is a victorious return, let's go up and see what the queen of the Japanese people looks like? ”

Huang Yueying's eyes widened, "Why did you have fancy thoughts again?" ”

Cao Peng was stunned and laughed out loud.

He hugged Huang Yueying's waist, which was no longer slender, glanced at the women behind him again, and said softly: "Even if my wife is in another twenty years, she will be a hundred times stronger than that mother-in-law." ”

In a word, Huang Yueying's face was full of shame, revealing the appearance of a child.

In a trance, Cao Peng seemed to have returned to that drizzly day...... On a narrow long street, she held a bamboo straw in her hand, stood in the middle of the long street, and was calling loudly: "Ah Fu! ”

hugged Huang Yueying's arm tightly!

Cao Peng seemed to be saying to himself, "I'm here, I'm here!" ”
