Chapter 466: Cao Pi abolishes the Han
However, it is said that Cao Pi's mother Bian has four sons, among which Cao Ang died in Nanyang, Cao Xiong died early, and there are only two sons under his knees, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Hurry out of the palace to see Cao Pi.
Bian said to Cao Pi: "The old man has only four sons in his life, but your eldest brother died in battle, and the younger brother died early. Thou shalt remember the love of thy fellow man, and save thy life. If I can really spare his life, I will also be blind to Jiuquan. ”
Cao Pi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Er also loves his talent deeply, and Anken harms him?" Now I want to quit his sexual ears. Mother, don't worry. ”
After seeing off Mrs. Bian, Cao Pi asked Cao Zhi to enter the palace to meet him.
Cao Pi snorted heavily, and asked in a deep voice: "Although I and you are brothers, in terms of status, we are also monarchs and ministers, how dare you be arrogant, negligent and rude, and even say such words without a king and no father?" ”
When Cao Zhi heard this, he hurriedly said in fear: "This is what Brother Ding Yi said, and the younger brother really doesn't know. ”
Cao Pi snorted: "Even so, you also have the sin of not being aware of it, how can you tolerate such a tongue-twister?" If you are deceived by it, will it not be a disaster? ”
Cao Zhi was silent when he heard this, and pleaded guilty again and again.
Cao Pi glanced at Cao Zhi at this time, and said slowly: "In the past, when my father was in Japan, you often boasted about it in articles, and I suspect that you are using someone else to write it. I will limit you to seven steps and chant a poem today. If so, one will be spared; If not, the crime will be punished severely, and there will be no forgiveness! ”
Cao Zhi was helpless, and then said, "Please give a title." ”
Cao Pi pondered for a moment, and then said: "I am a brother with you, and you will take this as the topic today." The poem talks about brotherhood, but it is not allowed to say the word brother. ”
When Cao Zhi heard this, a sadness suddenly surged in his heart, and he said secretly: "Is there such brotherhood in this world? As soon as he came to power, he couldn't help but eradicate dissidents, is it like this in the brotherhood of this world? The Yuan clan in Runan first had the conflict between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and then there was the dispute between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. There is also a power competition between Sun Quan and Sun Ce between the Sun clan in Jiangdong, and even Liu Qi, the most admired person in the world, is it inevitable that he will fight for brothers, is it true that power is not comparable to brotherly affection? ”
Thinking of this, Cao Zhi suddenly felt something, and opened his mouth and said: "Boiling beans and burning beans, beans crying in the kettle, they are born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?" ”
When Cao Pi heard this, he was also stunned. I can't help but think of years of flesh and blood affection. At that time, his father Cao Cao fought for many years, and their brothers were displaced when they were young, and their brothers depended on each other, brothers, friends, and brothers, and they were happy. Family fun.
Thinking of this, Cao Pi's face was unconsciously filled with tears.
In fact, what about Cao Pi? All his ministers fell silent. Even Wang Lang, who persuaded Cao Pi to get rid of Cao Zhi, was ashamed.
At this time, Cao Pi saw his mother Bian walking out of the palace, and said with tears in his eyes: "Why is my brother forcing my brother to be so much? ”
Cao Pi hurriedly wiped away his tears, stood up, bowed to his mother and said, "My son can't bear to force my brother, but the national law is ruthless, and my son doesn't dare to waste his ears." ”
Mrs. Bian originally saw Cao Pi with tears in her eyes. There is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, but after listening to Cao Pi's words about the law of the country, he knows that his influence is not enough to resolve the conflict, but fortunately, Cao Pi has already felt the kindness of his brother, and he must be able to leave Cao Zhi's life. I had to pretend to be confused, and I just left it at that.
Soon after, Mrs. Bian heard that Cao Pi ordered Cao Zhi to be demoted to the Marquis of Anxiang, ordering him to take office immediately, not to be summoned, not to return to Yecheng, and her heart was slightly relieved, no matter what, her son's life was saved, which was finally a gratifying thing.
Although Cao Pi let Cao Zhi go, he didn't intend to let go of Cao Zhi's remnants, so soon after Cao Zhi took office, he ordered to kill Ding Yi and Ding Hui's brothers.
Cao Zhi heard that Cao Pi had killed Ding Yi's brothers, and couldn't help but feel grieved, and remembered that his father had found an excuse to kill his friend Yang Xiu the year before. If the sword is not in the palm of your hand, why do you need to make more friends? I don't see the finch in the hedge, and I see the harrier throwing itself into Luo. The Luo family is happy, and the young man is sad when he sees it. Draw your sword and trap the net, and the yellow finch will fly. Fly to the sky, come down to thank the young man. ”
Cao Zhi suffered from the lack of authority in his hands, so he portrayed a young chivalrous warrior who "drew a sword and piggybacked on the net" to save the innocent in the poem, so as to express his heart.
Later, this poem was naturally learned by Cao Pi, after reading the poem, Cao Pi thought that Cao Zhi had antipathy, secretly hated, and under the instigation of Wang Lang, he ordered Cao Zhi to be demoted to the Marquis of Yongqiu, because Yongqiu had been occupied by Liu Qi's army, Cao Zhi only took the land in vain, and was actually placed under house arrest to the plains.
Cao Pi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he had finally solved Cao Zhi's big trouble, and after a few months, he suddenly saw Zuo Zhonglang playing Li Fu: "In the past, when the king first established the Wei State, those outside the country heard that they had not been tried, and they all thought that they worshiped the king. Wudu Li Shu and Jiang He traveled to Hanzhong, and the ministers said: "It must be the Duke of Wei, and the king is not the king." The one who determines the world, Wei Gongzihuan, the order of God, should be in line with the prophecy, in order to respond to the position of heaven and man. 'The minister asked what the book of knowledge came from?' He said: 'Confucius jade version also. The number of the Son of Heaven is known for centuries. 'It was more than a month later, and a dead man came, and he wrote a book, and died like a conjunction. He first greeted the king, and died of illness in Ye. Since the ministers are in the court, every time they declare this intention for their relatives, it is not appropriate for them to dare to speak out. In the early years of His Royal Highness's accession to the throne, the sun and the moon came, and there was a destiny from the sky, and it was obvious to see. However, the holy virtue of Dongda, the symbol of Yuming, the real Qiankun is very celebrated, and all the countries are Fu. Every minister celebrates, and he wants to fulfill his words; The gentleman is courteous, and people think it is flattering.
"The minister's name and deeds are filthy and cheap, and he is shallow in the morning, and his words are especially sinful, and he is just self-restrained. Today, Hongze is surrounded by four tables, Lingenge heaven and earth, and the sea is accustomed to it, and the special prescription is subdued, and the omen should be combined, so as to raise his life and always allow Zang. The ministers are overjoyed to dance, and they are cautious. ”
Cao Pi saw the chapter, and knew that it was the content of persuasion, Cao Pi knew that it was not a wise idea to abolish the Han and stand on his own feet now, because Liu Qi was eyeing himself and was thinking of finding an excuse to crusade against himself. couldn't help but comment: "How can a person with thin virtue do this, he doesn't dare to do it; Si Cheng was the first king to be virtuous to the gods, and he was not human. ”
But the matter was not over, and then there were Liu Hui, Xin Bi, Shangshu Chen Jiao, Wang Yu, Dong Yu and others who were the servants of the King of Wei, and asked to see them in person. Therefore, Yao said that the number of calendars is bowing, and Xuanji is tomorrow's way; Zhou Wu did not fight and the red black title book; Han Zu did not omen and the Divine Mother told the symbol; Filial piety is slight, and the word is a wooden leaf; Guangwu cloth clothes, the name has been decided. It is the command of heaven to be a sage, not the sound of words, the smell of fragrance, can be obtained and known, the image of the county is to show people, and the small things are to imitate ......"
Cao Pi refused again, but saw that there was another Taishi Cheng Xu Zhitiao Wei Dynasty Han saw Yu Wei Wei and said to Cao Pi: "Yi Chuan said: The sage is ordered to be the king, and the Yellow Dragon will see you every day." 'On the fourth day of July, Huang Long saw that the emperor was the most famous Fu Rui. He also said: 'On the sixth day of the first month, the frost is crawling, and the yin is condensed. 'There is also the palace of the Son of Heaven in the great cave of insects, and the locusts are to blame, and now the locusts see it, and they should do it. He also said: 'The saint compares the world with virtue and proximity, benevolence and grace, and the unicorn should be ordered by the saint. And he said...... His Royal Highness Fu Wei is the Shengming of Yao Shun, the Zen Dynasty of the Seven Hundred, when the Tang Wu's fortune, the transfer of the Mandate of Heaven, the table of Heluo, the diagram contains, it is clearly understood, and the scholars of the world have seen it. The subordinate is in the historian, the examination of the symbols, the results of the diagram, the period of the meeting, I am careful to hear about it. ”
After that, Xin Bi in the waiter, Fu Xun in the scattered cavalry, Wei Zhen, Chen Jiao in Shangshu, and Dr. Su Lin and Dong Ba in the middle of the matter were played again.
Seeing that the ministers under his command played repeatedly, and all kinds of pictures and auspicious fortunes were quoted, Cao Pi's mind finally became no longer sober, and he also felt that it was time for him to abolish the Han and stand on his own, so he ordered Sima Yi and Cheng Yu to be secretly invited, and let them see the seals on the ministers, and then asked: "The ministers are all on the table, I don't know what the second prince thinks of this matter?" ”
In fact, Cao Pi didn't expect Cheng Yu to be able to speak, he invited Cheng Yu to come just to show respect. But he didn't expect Cheng Yu to suddenly speak: "It seems that these people are all short-minded and ignorant people, and they can be killed, so why bother talking about it?" ”
Cao Pi was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, but he heard Sima Yi laugh and said: "Cheng Gong's words are wrong, it seems that such a person who speaks is all ministers of the society, how can he be killed lightly?" Once his generation is killed, how can the king of Wei be at peace in the world? What's more, now that the picture is auspicious, if my king does not respond to the heavens, I am afraid that not only the ministers will be disappointed, but even the heavens will be angry. ”
"Hehe, but isn't Sima Gong afraid of Liu Qi's anger? This person has always respected the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is deposed, this person will inevitably ask the teacher to ask for guilt, do you have the confidence to block Liu Qi's millions of male soldiers? Cheng Yu didn't refute it, and only used hundreds of thousands of troops under Liu Qi to interrogate to see how Sima Yi replied?
Cao Pi finally changed color after Cheng Yu mentioned Liu Qi, because this is also the problem he is most worried about, it is precisely for this reason that he repeatedly refused when the ministers were persuaded to advance, and later although he agreed to the request for persuasion when he was dizzy, he still felt faintly uneasy in his heart, so now although Cheng Yu's words are not happy in his heart, he has finally faced this problem again.
Therefore, Cao Pi also looked at Sima Yi with a nervous face, to see what tricks he could have to solve this problem? (To be continued......)
