Chapter 1009: Cao Pi was assassinated and died
In the face of all kinds of coercion and temptation, the killer finally compromised, not only because of the high-ranking official, but also because for the safety of his wife and children at home, he agreed to Sima Yi's assassination plan. It is also worthy of Sima Yi, who actually found such a person to be his pawn, this person was once the remnant of the Yellow Turban Army. After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he fled to Liangzhou, formed a gang to occupy the mountains as the king, and made a living by robbing and killing.
Later, because Cao Cao moved the capital to Liangzhou, he was afraid of Cao Cao's strength, so he disbanded the bandit gang and distributed the looted finances to the brothers. He left only a small amount of money, bought a house and fertile land, and took a wife who was not very beautiful for a living. Life can also be said to be relatively comfortable and happy, at least you don't have to worry about it every day, the life of adding blood to the knife edge in the past.
But the good times didn't last long, and on the day of his child's birth, it was reported that his home was surrounded by officers and soldiers and was arrested and imprisoned. The crime is to be the leader of the bandits, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, at that moment he felt that his fate was coming to an end, but he felt a little sorry for the ignorant wife and unborn child.
Just as he was about to lose heart and want to die, someone suddenly came to take him away late at night, and replaced him with another person in the prison where he was staying. He was in a daze, and he didn't know what had happened until he was ushered in and out of a secret room, and when he saw the man who filled him with awe. He will never forget the first picture he saw when he saw the man, when he was kneeling on the ground and looked at a loss, and the man looked at him condescendingly, and spat out a trace of cold words: "If you want to live, you must know how to serve me, otherwise I can replace you from death row this time, and I can replace you in it." It's up to you whether you agree or not, I won't embarrass a dead person, my chances are only reserved for those who want to live. ”
This person is Sima Yi, the powerful minister in the current Wei State, and he also has reason to believe that anyone in that moment of life and death will choose to live, even if it is a humble life. Afterwards, Sima Yi did not let himself do anything, but changed himself to a new identity, named Huafu, and even moved his home to a new town, and the house he lived in was better than before.
What made him especially unforgettable was that when he appeared in front of his wife, his wife's surprised cry made him unable to forget it for the rest of his life, and at that moment he even made up his mind that no matter what Master Sima Yi wanted to do, he would never shirk it. Just because this life of his own was given by Lord Sima Yi, if there was no Lord Sima Yi, there would be no second life for him, and it would be impossible for him to see his wife and children.
At that time, Sima Yi had been arranging Huafu to Cao Pi's side, and after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi immediately succeeded to his throne, and then forced Emperor Han Xian to establish the Wei state and become the Wei Emperor. It was not until later that Wei and Zhao fought a series of defeats, and the capital was occupied by the Zhao army, and Hua Fu also fled to Yizhou Shu with the remnants of Wei. Since there was no new person to replace, and under the operation of Sima Yi, Hua Fu was still responsible for serving Cao Pi. I don't usually do anything, just serve tea and pour water, and clean the house.
Because Huafu finally got a new life, he cherished it very much, and did everything carefully, which was also deeply liked by Cao Pi. There are often treasures sent by the lower officials, and after Cao Pi can't use them up, he rewards them to Huafu, who is reluctant to eat them, and takes them all back to share with his wife and children. In this way, Huafu originally lived a life of exile and disgrace, but now it makes neighboring friends not to mention how envious they are. Every time Hua Fu came back with something, the neighbors began to point fingers at each other, showing a hint of envy, praising Hua Fu's wife for marrying a good man and having the honor of serving by His Majesty's side.
When Hua Fu received Sima Yi's secret order this time, he knew that this was another turning point in his life, and as long as he could succeed, Sima Yi could support the new emperor. At that time, he will also be able to support the merits, and he will be able to leap into the ranks of generals as a subordinate below, which can be regarded as a complete cleansing of the sins on his body, and he can be regarded as being able to glorify his ancestors.
When he returned to Cao Pi's mansion, Hua Fu had already kicked the dagger used in the assassination into his arms, pretending to be casual and went directly into Cao Pi's study to clean the room. Just as Hua Fu was cleaning, suddenly the outside door was pushed open, and then a person walked in, which immediately startled Hua Fu.
didn't wait for Hua Fu to come back to his senses, but the man said to Hua Fu: "Hey, Hua Fu, you are here, I looked for you early in the morning and didn't find it, I thought you went home." ”
When Hua Fu heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Oh, back to Your Majesty, early this morning, the little one saw that His Majesty was still resting, and the little one saw that there was a lack of some sundries in the house, so he went to the market and bought something back." Unexpectedly, as soon as the little one went out, His Majesty woke up, unable to ask His Majesty for instructions, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive his sins. ”
After hearing this, Cao Pi handed the object in his hand to Hua Fu and said, "So that's the case, that's just right, Lord Sima Yi sent some supplements just now." I am tired of eating these things every day, and I heard that your wife is going to give birth again, so you can take these things back when you have time, just to make up for your wife, and I can be regarded as congratulating you in advance. Facing the things handed over by Cao Pi, Hua Fu couldn't help but have red eyes, and stood there motionless for a long time.
Seeing Hua Fu's actions, Cao Pi couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you, Hua Fu, why don't you take my reward, don't you like it?" And why are you crying? ”
"Oh, nothing, Hua Fu is just grateful for His Majesty's love, Hua Fu has always accepted His Majesty's favor, but he can't repay it." Saying that, Hua Fu hurriedly pouted, knelt down in front of Cao Pi, and bowed three times to Cao Pi, each bow made a banging sound, and each of these bows contained Hua Fu's incomparable guilt.
Seeing Hua Fu's actions so praised, Cao Pi only thought that the other party was grateful, and hurriedly comforted and said: "Okay, you hurry up, you have followed me for many years, and you are the only one in the entire mansion who has always been cautious and has never made any mistakes. I can't give you anything else, and this reward is still very easy for me, so you can accept it. ”
Just as the two were talking, suddenly there was a burst of inquiry outside: "Your Majesty, General Xu Huang is asking to see you outside the mansion, has Your Majesty received you?" ”
As soon as he heard that Xu Huang was coming, Cao Pi's face suddenly turned happy, and he couldn't help but say, "Oh, it's General Xu Huang here?" Hurry up and invite General Xu Huang to come to my study for a talk, you all step down for the time being, and you must not eavesdrop on my conversation with General Xu Huang, otherwise you will be beheaded. ”
"Yes, little one." So the man withdrew.
Immediately, Cao Pi said to Hua Fu, who was standing next to the bookcase: "Hua Fu, I have something important to discuss with General Xu Huang in a while, so you can retreat first." By the time we're done talking, it's not too late for you to clean up, and don't forget to take these supplements off when you retreat. After speaking, Cao Pi sat cross-legged in front of the desk and waited for Xu Huang to come.
Just when Cao Pi just sat down, he suddenly heard a sharp pain in his back, and before Cao Pi could cry out in pain, he felt that something was sticking out from behind and covering his mouth and nose. And the sharp pain in the back started again, Cao Pi clearly felt that it was something sharp, stabbed into his body, and the other party stabbed several times in one breath. No matter how Cao Pi shouted, but the other party tightly covered his mouth and nose, Cao Pi desperately wanted to break the other party's hand, but the severe pain in his back made Cao Pi have no strength at all, and finally his arm slowly slipped down, and his whole body also fell.
And the perpetrator this time was Hua Fu, and I saw that Hua Fu was out of breath after he finished moving. If it was put in the past, let alone let Hua Fu kill one person, even if he killed several people in a row, Hua Fu would not have any tiredness. But in an instant, Hua Fu came to his senses, and after a while, Xu Huang would come, if he couldn't take the opportunity to leave, I was afraid that it would be a dead end at that time.
At that moment, Hua Fu hurriedly helped Cao Pishen, who fell to the ground, to sit cross-legged on the ground, supporting one side of his face with one hand, and keeping his whole body from falling. And the stabbing dagger, Hua Fu didn't pull it out, so it was inserted into Cao Pi's body, but Hua Fu took the cloak on the table and draped it on it, on the surface, Cao Pi seemed to be tired and napping from reading.
After doing all this, Hua Fu hurriedly checked his body, and couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that the clothes he was wearing were all dark clothes. The blood splattered on Cao Pi's body splashed on those clothes, and he couldn't see it at all. At that moment, Hua Fu took the things rewarded by Cao Pi, as well as the handwritten letter from Zhao Can, the prince of Zhao State, to Cao Pi and left in a hurry, along the way Hua Fu trotted away, and the sergeants in the mansion showed a trace of envy when they saw Hua Fu holding a large number of Cao Pi's rewards, and of course they were ******** about this matter.
Not long after Hua Fu left, Xu Huang had already walked in from outside the house, gently buckled the door of Cao Pi's study, and seeing that no one answered, Xu Huang couldn't help but carefully push open a crack. I saw Cao Pi sitting at the desk, supporting his chin and napping, Xu Huang quietly walked in, sat straight in front of the desk and knelt there motionless.
After Hua Fu ran out of Cao Pi's mansion, he did not return home with his things, but went straight to Sima Yi's mansion. didn't wait for Hua Fu to run, he met Sima Yi halfway, and saw Sima Yi leading a kind of people and horses to come slowly, almost all of them were Sima Yi's cronies. At that moment, Sima Yi ordered the team to stop, and all the people around him dispersed, Hua Fu hurriedly trotted forward and handed the token in his hand, that is, the letter of surrender given to Cao Pi by the prince of Zhao to Sima Yi.
