1517 Deathbed
Subsequently, Cao Pi handed the bow and arrow to Cao Rong and asked him to shoot the fawn, Cao Rong aimed the bow and arrow at the fawn, but suddenly shook his hand upward, and the arrow shot at the tree with a deviation of more than five meters, and the fawn was frightened and fled.
"Could it be that you have been having fun all day in the fiefdom and have neglected to ride and shoot?" Cao Pi scolded dissatisfiedly.
Cao Rong threw away the bow and arrows, looked at the sky faintly, two lines of tears came out of his eyes, turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Cao Pi, and said indifferently: "Father, you have killed its mother, the fawn has lost its protection, and it is so pitiful." The sons and daughters can't bear to do harm, and they are willing to die for the deer, but I wish their father a long and peaceful life, and the country will be forever. ”
Cao Pi was greatly shocked in his heart, and then he also cried, dismounted and helped Cao Rong up, looked at his son who was taller than himself, and asked with tears: "Killing the doe by mistake has suffered a lot for my father, but I don't know if the deer has ever held a grudge?" ”
"The doe was killed, and the fawn was helpless, although there was resentment, but he also knew the place of hunting, and he couldn't help himself. Besides, the hunter has affection, and the fawn can only lick the wound alone, but it seeks to heal as soon as possible. Cao Rong bowed his head and wept.
Cao Pi's sorrow comes from it, and his son's words are already very clear, although there is resentment, but one is the mother and the other is the father, and the pain is unbearable, so he can only endure it by himself. Cao Pi patted his son's shoulder heavily and sighed: "Yuan Zhong is filial piety, you can feel the world and the world, and I am ashamed of my father!" ”
From then on, Cao Pi retracted the idea of killing his son, crowned him as the king of the plains, and stayed by his side. But he arranged for Cao Rong to do one thing that must be done, that is, to regard Empress Guo as his mother and serve him carefully.
Empress Guo has no children, and Cao Pi's approach has undoubtedly regarded Cao Rong as a candidate for succession. Zhen Mi once sent a letter to Cao Ei, asking him to regard Empress Guo as his biological mother, Cao Ei was young at the time, and felt that Empress Guo was extremely excluded from her mother during her lifetime, so she has always had a lukewarm attitude.
Now, Cao Rong has grown up, temporarily let go of the mustard with Cao Pi because of his mother, and began to serve Queen Guo carefully. Queen Guo has nothing to do, and she has a perfect son in vain, and she loves her very much, and the two are as close as mother and son.
Despite this, Cao Pi has not finally determined the successor, and now he is terminally ill, and if he does not act, he will leave a huge shock in the imperial court.
"Spread Chen Qun's advance." Cao Pi on the sickbed shouted.
Chen Qun was one of Cao Pi's most relied on important ministers, and was the behind-the-scenes maker of the Wei state's political system and laws.
After a while, Chen Qun walked in, bowed to the ground, and choked up: "Holy Lord, I don't know why the ministers came?" ”
"Alas, my fate is on the verge of death, according to Changwen, who can succeed me?" Cao Pi sighed.
"The Holy Blessing is full of heaven, and it will definitely turn the crisis into safety." Chen Qun wiped his tears and said.
"I naturally know my fate, and I know that Changwen is fair and selfless, so I might as well speak out." Cao Pi said.
"The king of the plains is good at learning and resourceful, benevolent and diligent, and he is virtuous and glorious, and he can inherit the fortunes of the country." Chen Qundao.
"How is Cao Li, the mourning king of Yuancheng?" Cao Pi asked deliberately.
"Cao Li seems to be smart, but in fact, he is clever and tricky, and he is not a big deal."
"Bold, dare to act on the prince!" Cao Pi feigned anger.
"The minister is willing to be punished!" Chen Qunchang fell to the ground.
"The meaning of the public is the same as that of me." Cao Pi nodded, struggled to get up, took out a volume of holy decrees that had been prepared long ago from under the pillow, and said: "Spread my will, immediately crown Cao Rong as the crown prince, after I go, inherit the unification, and the ministers will do their best to assist him." ”
"Holy Wisdom!"
Cao Pi was so terminally ill that the civil and military ministers had already waited outside the tent in case of accidents, Chen Qun took the holy decree and immediately went outside, read it out loud, and the successor finally fell to the ground.
Cao Pi also emphasized in the holy decree that Chen Qun, Sima Yi and Cao Zhen were the ministers of Tuogu after his death, after all, Cao Rong at this time was just in his early twenties.
Cao Rong calmly kowtowed to thank the emperor, and everyone followed to thank the emperor, everyone was not too surprised, Cao Rong's succession was expected. The reason why I mentioned it more is nothing more than that Cao Pi harmed Zhen Mi, but still made her son the new emperor, I can't help but say that for the sake of the country's longevity, Cao Pi can still abandon personal grievances and think about the overall situation.
Subsequently, Cao Pi passed Cao Ei to go in to see the driver, Cao Ei came to his father, and said with tears: "Father should take care of the dragon body, the son prayed to heaven last night, and he is willing to exchange his yang shou for his father Kangning." ”
"My son is very filial, I am very pleased, the destiny is like this, manpower is not enough!" Cao Pi took Cao Ei's hand and said with a smile.
"If the father is sympathetic to the child, he must take care of his body, and in this huge country, the son is only afraid that it will be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility." Cao Rong said.
"Don't panic, my son has asked Chen Qun and others to assist the government, and I will definitely ensure the longevity of the society." Cao Pi said.
"Chen Qun is fair and honest, and he can handle internal affairs, but he has no ability to command troops; Although Cao Zhen has the ability to fight, he is brave and resourceful, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility; Only Sima Yi is both civil and military, but he hides treachery in his laughter, which makes the child often worried. Cao Rong said frankly.
"My son can think like this, but I am relieved." Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction, and said: "I still leave you alone, and after I pass away, you can use it, and you can be worry-free." ”
"Please make it clear to my father."
"In Wei Wei's case, I knew that it had nothing to do with Zhong Xuan, so I deliberately punished him for your use in the future. Zhong Xuan has the ability to command the army, understands the political system, and is resourceful, and my son will enable it, and he will be grateful to Dade and fully assist. Cao Pi patted Cao Rong's hand and said.
"The father is thoughtful, and the son is also lucky!" Cao Rong said with tears in his eyes.
"There's still one thing, don't be confused." Cao Pi said.
"The sons and daughters listen to their father's teachings." Cao Rong said.
"Han Emperor Liu Xie, the Zen position is meritorious, never dissenting, and for your uncle, after I go, don't embarrass him, and the future generations will be infamous." Cao Pi said.
"Obey my father's teachings." Cao Rong said.
"Alas, when I was here, the most disgusted person was Wang Baoyu of Jingzhou, who ......" Cao Pi didn't finish speaking, when he heard someone outside shouting: "Minister Liu Ye is willing to meet the saint." ”
"Let him in!" Cao Pi said.
After Liu Ye entered the room, he staggered to Cao Pi with a panicked look on his face, and said, "The minister has just found out a piece of news, which is a matter of importance, and it is necessary to inform the saint." ”
After arranging the funeral, Cao Pi, who had made a wish, relaxed his originally tense expression, his eyes had become blurred, and he asked with half-squinted eyes: "I am about to leave, alas, what else do you have to say?" ”
"A few days ago, Concubine Zhen appeared in Yiling City and married Wang Baoyu's Dahonglu Jia Zhigang, and Cao Zhi, the king of Yongqiu, also rushed to celebrate." Liu Ye said tremblingly.
