Chapter 467: The Death of the Han Family
I saw Sima Yi smile faintly and asked rhetorically: "Does Cheng Gong think that if our king does not abolish the Han family, Liu Qi will not lead his troops to attack us?" The so-called excuse, it is because he has already been prepared, otherwise, no one will fight a wrongful battle, although Liu Qi respects the Han family, but which time will not send troops in the case of profit? Has he ever suffered the slightest loss because of his support for the Han family? Therefore, there is actually no difference between his respect for the Han family and our association with the Son of Heaven to order the unsubordinate. As long as he can't get any benefits this time, Liu Qi can only helplessly stop attacking. Besides, the abolition of the Han Dynasty by the lord is also an opportunity for Liu Qi, because the Han Emperor was deposed, he has the opportunity to be the emperor, even if he is willing to give up this opportunity, the ministers under his command will never give up, since he is the emperor, then he will naturally betray the Han family. Where can the banner of justice be raised again? ”
"But after all, his surname is Liu, and he is a relative of the Han family, if he is called the emperor like this, no one will say anything about him, and Gu is different, after all, this is the world of the Han family." Cao Pi finally couldn't help but speak, expressing the doubts in his heart.
Sima Yi said with a smile: "Your lord, you have the emperor's edict in your hand, but Liu Qi has nothing in your hand. ”
Cheng Yu sneered: "I'm afraid that because of this, Liu Qi can't wait to fight for orthodoxy, right?" ”
Sima Yi said calmly: "I was asking him to fight, after the last year's battle, although our army lost the land of Henan, but there are still more than 200,000 troops stationed on the border, and the army of all roads is waiting for it, what can Liu Qi do to me?" Besides, although Liu Qi gained the land of Henan, it was also a huge loss, and it is estimated that there are fifty or sixty thousand people. As for the sergeants who surrendered to our army, it is difficult to be reused in a short period of time, and because Yu Yanqing and other places have just experienced a big war, the people's war-weariness is extremely strong, even if Liu Qi really wants to send troops to fight against us, he must also consider the issue of people's will. So. Yi believes that even if the king accepts Chan's concession, Liu Qi will not attack us in a short period of time, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will naturally be to us. ”
"I'm afraid this may not be, after all, Liu Qi's strength is strong, far from being comparable to us, once we really launch an attack with the strength of the country, with our strength. How can you resist it? Although Cheng Yu thought so, he opened his mouth, but finally held back, because he had already seen the determination in Cao Pi's eyes.
Seeing that Cheng Yu no longer spoke, Sima Yi also had a countermeasure to this qiē, and Cao Pi naturally had an idea in his heart.
The next day, Cao Pi found Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi and asked about receiving Zen.
I only heard Xu Zhi bow down and say: "The emperor's edict has been issued. On the 17th of this month, it has not been directly completed, but it can be ordered by Zen. Now the king has ordered the construction of the meditation platform, and there will be no mistakes when the time comes. ”
Cao Pi secretly thought in his heart that there was only half a month left on the seventeenth day of this month, and it was too hasty to do so, so he shook his head and said: "As soon as the hundred officials are persuaded to enter, this king will set up a meditation platform." What does this mean? Now I should resolutely refrain from receiving the edict, and as for the majesty, it is enough to do as usual. ”
Subsequently, Cao Pi issued a seal book, which wrote: "When the seal is returned, it is a concession seal." Shall I accept this evil by this edict? Xi Yao let the world in Xu You and Zizhou. Shun also let Yu Shanjuan, the farmers of Shihu, and the northerners have no choice, or retreat to the sun of the ploughing, or resign to the disease of sorrow, or go far into the mountains and forests, not knowing where they are, or take their children into the sea, and never rebel, or think of humiliation, and throw themselves into the abyss; And Yan Yan is afraid of the incompleteness of too simple, keep the clear distinction of contentment, the prince Sole Dan cave of the hidden place, is smoked but not out, Liu Xia Hui does not take the three princes of the noble Yi Qijie, once participated in the Jin, Chu of the rich Yi Qi Ren: Si Jiushi, salty and high festival and righteousness, light rich and cheap, so the title of the book is thousands of years, in the present name. Seeking benevolence and obtaining benevolence, is benevolence far away? What is so bad as being lonely? Righteousness passed away in the East China Sea, and did not follow the edict of the Han Dynasty. It is urgent to return the seal ribbon to the last chapter, announce it to the world, and make it salty. ”
In this order, Cao Pi not only said that he was not subject to Zen, and even handed over the military and political power to the emperor, and quoted many stories of celebrities who did not accept Zen to show his mind, which looked very high-sounding, but in fact there was no half-division of power, and the ministers naturally knew that this was Cao Pi's retreat as advance, pretending to be a gesture, which was also the traditional practice of ordinary Zen recipients. The purpose is naturally to gain a good reputation and make enough political capital.
Since the ministers understood what Cao Pi meant, they naturally spared no effort to persuade him.
Therefore, 120 people, including Zheng Cheng, the crown prince of Wei, and Chang Weizhen, wrote to Cao Pi, asking Cao Pi to "rectify the mandala and be ordered on an auspicious day".
This time, Cao Pi once again flatly refused, and at the same time once again expressed his desire to hand over power. Cao Pide's acting is really realistic, if in the future, maybe he will be able to be an actor.
Of course, the ministers of Wei State would not give up, so these 120 ministers once again jointly wrote a letter to persuade them. This is already the seventh persuasion, and after the seventh time, before Cao Pi can react, Liu Hui and others in the service have started the eighth persuasion.
This Liu Hui was originally a native of Changsha, belonged to the rule of Liu Biao, the former Jingzhou Mu, and was originally a relative of the Han family, and later his three brothers were killed by Liu Biao for their crimes, and he fled Jingzhou at a young age, and went to Cao Cao's tent to betray his ancestors willingly, becoming one of Cao Wei's important minions.
This time to persuade him, he can be said to have acted as a pioneer, without the slightest sense of shame and shame.
After Cao Pi pretended to make a gesture and applied to the Son of Heaven to return the seal, the Son of Heaven wanted to push the boat down the river to take over the power, but this piece had been rejected by Shangshutai before the Son of Heaven, and when it came to his hands, he could only reluctantly write a "edict" to symbolize his own opinions.
After that, the important ministers in the country wrote to Cao Pi to persuade him, Taiwei Cheng Yu, Xiangguo Sima Yi, Wang Lang, the imperial historian Wang Lang and others, their joining naturally strengthened the momentum of the persuaders, Cao Pi saw that the time came, he instructed Sima Yi, Wang Lang and others to write to the emperor, forcing the Son of Heaven to descend the edict to pass on the throne, the Son of Heaven was forced by others, and had to allow, in fact, even if he really disagreed, it was not a big deal, because the edict had its own Zhongshu order to write on behalf of the seal, and the seal also had Shangshutai in charge, and even if he did not agree, even the word "edict" would be written on his behalf.
When Cao Pi saw the edict, he refused again, and after repeated times, he finally agreed "helplessly".
After a tense busyness, in the winter and October of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Cao Pi, the king of Wei, ascended the altar to receive Zen, and tens of thousands of people from the Gongqing, liehous, generals, Xianbei Shan Yu, and Siyi Dynasty accompanied the throne, burning the heaven and earth, the five mountains, and the four desecrations.
After that, it was announced that the 17th year of Jian'an was changed to the beginning of the Huang Dynasty, and in November of the first year of the Huang Dynasty, the 10,000 households of Shanyang Eup in Hanoi County were honored by the Han Emperor as the Duke of Shanyang, and the Han Emperor could perform the Han Zhengshuo in this Shanyang, and allowed the suburban sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, and did not need to be called a minister to Cao Pi, and worshipped the heavens and the earth, the temple, the ancestors, and the wax in the suburbs with the Son of Heaven's car clothes; He also named the fourth son of the Han Emperor as a liehou.
Later, he posthumously praised Cao Pi's grandfather Cao Song as the emperor, his father Wuwang Cao Cao as the emperor of Wu, respected the queen mother Bian as the queen mother, and demoted the princes surnamed Liu of the Han Dynasty to the prince of Chongdehou, deprived Liu Qi of the title of Taiwei, changed the country to Situ, Yushi Dafu as Sikong, Fengchang as Taichang, Lang Zhongling as Guangluxun, Dali as Tingwei, and Danong as Dasi Nong. Counties and counties, many have been changed. He also awarded the Xianbei Lord Kebineng as the king of Fuyi, and the Daijun Wuhuan Xingshan Yu Pufulu as the king of loyalty, and awarded Wei Xishou, and gave the green cover car, Chengyu, sword, and jade.
Later, he canonized eleven of Cao's children as kings, Cheng Yu as Taiwei, Sima Yi as Situ, Wang Lang as Sikong, Dong Zhao as Shang Shuling, Liu Hui as Shizhong, Cao Hong as Da Sima, Cao Chun as the general, Xiahou Shang as the hussar general, Cao Xiu as the chariot general, Xu Chu as the Wei general, and other generals also had their own rewards.
At this time, Liu Qi was in Luoyang to welcome the arrival of his fourth son Liu Qing, which was the second son born to him by the princess Kuai Ruyu.
Liu Qi watched the hundred officials drinking, His Royal Highness's singing and dancing, Liu Qi suddenly felt that the past few months had passed like a dream, and even he didn't expect that because of his gunpowder technology and a series of victories, a generation of traitorous male Cao Cao was seriously ill and died, eight years earlier than history.
"Cao Cao is dead, Cao Pi has also inherited the throne of Wei, and his brothers have been disposed of in a similar way to what history records, so will Cao Pi depose the Han and stand on his own according to historical records? I should have planned for this, if he really stood on his own, how should I deal with it? ”
Liu Qi was thinking about this question when he suddenly saw one of the members of Infernal Affairs, the "Black Fox", suddenly hurriedly walking in from outside the hall.
Seeing this person suddenly appear, Liu Qi couldn't help but be shocked, feeling that something big should have happened, because a character like the black fox is usually hidden in the shadows, and now he appears in front of everyone in a grand manner, which shows how urgent the matter is?
"What the hell is going on? Unexpectedly, the black fox appeared directly! Liu Qi's eyebrows suddenly locked deeply.
The answer was soon revealed, as subsequently. The black tiger came to him and whispered a few words into his ear.
Liu Qi was furious when he heard the news, stopped the feast, and then said loudly: "Zhugong, according to the news from Yecheng, Cao Pi has ascended the throne as the emperor yesterday, and changed this year's Jian'an 17th year to the first year of the early Huang Dynasty, posthumously Cao Song as the emperor, Cao Cao as the emperor of Wu, but demoted the Son of Heaven to the Duke of Shanyang, such a rebellious behavior is really the anger of heaven and man, this king decided, immediately mobilize the army, go all out to attack Hebei, be sure to break Cao Pi Xiaoer, capture and kill the rebels, and return my Han Lang Lang Qiankun."
