Zhong Miao was overwhelmed with grief, left immediately, and quickly sent someone to arrange this matter secretly.

Hua Xin took a step forward and said, "King Wei, the unjust soul is in turmoil, why don't you ask the Taoist priest to pray for the practice to get rid of the evil spirit?" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "The saint Zeng Yun was guilty of the heavens, and he had nothing to pray for. Gu Pingsheng dislikes the magic of demons the most, and he will never use this method. ”

"But ......"

"Lonely, fearless."

A few days later, Cao Cao's illness seemed to be improving, he could sit for half a day, and he could simply drink some rice soup.

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and laughed: "Yuan Chang, these are not places to bury lonely souls, they are just disturbing people's ears and eyes. ”

"Where does King Wei want to live in peace?" Zhong Miao asked sadly.

Cao Cao's face was proud, and there was a hearty laugh, that calm and calm, similar to that of an old monk who saw through life and death.

"King Wei?" The confused Zhong Xuan couldn't help but interrupt Cao Cao's laughter, Cao Cao wiped the tears from laughter, and asked with interest: "Yuan Chang is very smart, you can guess!" ”

Zhong Xuan's forehead was sweating, and he admired Cao Cao's extraordinary bearing of life and death, and said sincerely: "How can the minister figure out the thoughts of King Wei, please make it clear." ”

Come, come, come, Cao Cao beckoned to Zhong Xuan happily and whispered something to him, Zhong Miao was shocked, and said after a long time: "This move seems inappropriate?" ”

"It's just a skin, it's ugly to be born, why should it stink when you die!" Cao Cao said stubbornly.

When the New Year came, Cao Cao set up a grand banquet, feasted the ministers, ordered singing and dancing, talking and laughing, and drank until he was drunk, and then went back to rest.

The ministers were not happy at all, because Cao Cao only drank wine and did not eat a single vegetable or a grain of rice, which was mostly a phenomenon of returning to the light.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Cao Cao could no longer get out of bed, and the guards hurriedly summoned the important ministers to come, saying that the king was going to make a final farewell.

A group of civil and military ministers hurriedly came, Cao Cao himself did not shy away from it, and ordered the maid to change into neat clothes, her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes still flashed with an unruly look.

The ministers sobbed in a low voice, and Cao Cao waved his hand to signal them to stop, but the ministers frowned and cried endlessly. Cao Cao listened impatiently, knocked the edge of the bed, and said breathlessly: "I haven't killed anyone for a long time, if I cry again, I won't be spared." ”

As soon as the words fell, the room was silent, and everyone's tears were all held back, Cao Cao showed a satisfied smile, "Don't cry, ancient and modern sages can't escape life and death, let alone what?" ”

"King Wei, don't go! How lonely the old minister is! Jia Xu endured the heartache and stepped forward to take Cao Cao's hand.

"I don't want to go, how can my destiny be like this, how can I resist it?" Cao Cao said, "Assist my son more in the future, don't let him cause trouble." ”

Jia Xu nodded non-stop, Cao Cao paused, and continued: "Alone in the world for more than 30 years, all the heroes have been destroyed, only Jiangdong Sun Quan, Shuzhong Liu Bei, has not been eradicated, and the world has not been unified, which is a pity. ”

"Both of them are struggling to survive, and they will be exterminated one day." Jia Xuyan said insincerely.

Cao Cao knew that he did not continue the topic, and said: "Gu is about to leave today, there are three things to entrust, the eldest son Cao Ang, because of Gu's mistake, died in Wancheng as soon as possible, his mother has not forgiven Yu Gu so far, and the princes should treat him well." ”

Everyone sighed at Cao Cao's affection, nodded their heads, and Cao Cao said: "There are many orphan girls, and I am afraid that they have no support, so they should be more female workers and sell them for money to be self-sufficient." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, why do you need the ladies to work hard, we will be the best clothes and food, and take care of them." Jia Xu promised.

"Do as I say." Cao Cao frowned and waved his hand, and Jia Xu hurriedly said yes.

Finally, Cao Cao said the most critical third thing, "The prince Cao Pi, who is sincere and respectful, can succeed to my throne, and the princes should do their best to assist him." ”

As expected, everyone did not have any objections, and a few words made Cao Cao consume a lot of energy, took two breaths, tried to open his eyes, and said in a slightly willful and dissatisfied tone: "There is a feeling, sorrow comes from it, and I don't let the princes cry, is there really no one crying?"

Everyone was stunned, and they cried again, crying and grabbing the ground, like mourning.

Father!

At this moment, Cao Pi ran in from outside crying, came to Cao Cao, and said in tears: "Father! Erchen is late! ”

"It's not too late, it's not dead." Cao Cao was a little embarrassed, beckoned Cao Pi to come to him, and whispered: "Zihuan, I have two things to entrust." ”

"Father, please speak!"

"First, be kind to your brothers."

"Please reassure your father."

"Second, don't be an enemy of Baoyu."

Cao Pi suddenly raised his head, saw his father's frosty eyes, his back was cold, and he hurriedly agreed: "Son, remember!" ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, looked around again to make a final impression, and finally stopped at Zhong Xuan, his eyes blinked slightly, as if to remind him not to forget Lone's explanation.

Zhong Xuan understood and nodded tearfully.

"Let's go!" Cao Cao showed a faint smile on his face, his body relaxed, slowly closed his eyes, and passed away suddenly, at the age of sixty-six.

Everyone immediately cried, and it was only at this time that Cao Zhi, who was full of alcohol, rushed to come in disheveled clothes, and missed the last time he saw his father.

Zhong Xuan took out Cao Cao's will, fully responsible for the burial work, no matter who it is, can not approach, half a day later, seventy-two golden coffins were carried out, respectively buried in various places, which coffin contains Cao Cao's body, even Cao Pi is not clear.

The palace cannot be left without an owner for a day, Cao Pi inherited the throne of the king of Wei, but there are also people who raise objections because there is no holy decree, and there is a red face in the hall.

Cao Pi was angry in his heart, and ordered someone to write it down secretly, just waiting for the autumn to settle the account.

Cao Cao's spiritual seat was placed in the temple, and the ministers came to worship one after another, and the stream continued for many days.

Mrs. Bian gave birth to a total of four boys, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong, Cao Pishun succeeded to the throne, Cao Zhi was in Yecheng, and participated in the whole process, while Cao Xiong was sick and difficult to get out of bed, so he did not come to participate.

Cao Zhang was defending Sun Quan in Hexi, and when he heard the news of his father's death, he rushed back in the starry night. Cao Zhang made a mistake, he actually came back with troops, and it was an army of 100,000.

Cao Pi was deeply disturbed by this, and felt that Cao Zhang was coming to compete with him for the throne, so he ordered people to close the city gates, and refused Cao Zhang's entry into the city on the grounds that the worship period had passed.

Cao Zhang didn't have this mind at all, and begged hard, but Cao Pi refused to give in at all, and it was not until Cao Zhang handed over the military power that he agreed to let him enter the city.

After worshipping his father, Cao Zhang was sent to Yanling to garrison, with only a few thousand soldiers and horses left. And Cao Pi issued an order to ask for the crime on the grounds that Cao Xiong did not come to the funeral, but unfortunately, Cao Pi's royal decree had just arrived, and Cao Xiong had already died of illness.
