Chapter 189: Succeeding to the throne, Cao Pi took advantage of his power

Cao Pi was taken aback, and didn't understand why Hua Tuo said this, so he asked, "What does the divine doctor mean by this?" ”

Hua Tuo raised his head and replied: "The king was killed by the old man, and General Yue Cai wanted to save him, but he was a step too late. ”

"What?" Cao Pi took the case and asked in a deep voice: "The divine doctor can't talk nonsense. ”

"How can the old man talk nonsense?" Hua Tuo shouted angrily: "Cao Cao's thief who deceived the king, I have wanted to kill for a long time, and today I will take the opportunity to eliminate the harm for the world, what's wrong?" ”

"You," Cao Pi was furious, not knowing what to do. I saw Jia Xu get up and said: "It turns out that it is really this old horseman, I am wondering, from ancient times to the present, how can there be a reason to open the skull to cure diseases?" ”

Xiahou Dun glanced at Jia Xu, and also got up and said, "Since Hua Tuo personally admitted it, this matter is another matter. ”

Cao Pi looked at the edict on the case and asked, "Then how to interpret this edict?" ”

Jia Xu said slowly: "When the king is dying, he must have insight into Hua Tuo's conspiracy, so he naturally wants to ask the most trusted second son to return to the camp to escort him. Looking full of anger, but he didn't know how to speak, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he felt sorry for Hua Tuo, he would definitely die if he made such a scapegoat.

Zhang He said angrily: "What does Mr. mean by this? If this edict was written by the king, doesn't that mean that the above accusations against the prince are also true? ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "When the king was dying, his natural consciousness was not very clear, he was suspicious and jealous, and the words on the edict could not be trusted, not to mention that Chen Fei was dead, and there was no way to find out the origin of this edict, so I would give up." ”

The edict has Cao Cao's King of Wei's golden seal, Cao Zhang was convicted because of the murder of Cao Cao, and now this crime is not established, and the edict has no proof of Chen Fei's death, but it is easy to solve. Cao Pi had already forced Cao Zhang to death, but he didn't know that he killed Hua Tuo halfway, and he stubbornly took down such a big crime and saved Cao Zhang. Cao Pi also knew that Hua Tuo was deliberately guilty, but people were willing to be scapegoats, so did he have to force him to say no?

Cao Pi also had a hard time at this time, and if he knew that he wouldn't have killed Chen Fei so early, he could only smile stupidly now, and said: "I don't believe that the second brother will do such a thing, now the truth is revealed, come and loosen the tie for General Yueqi." Immediately, two sergeants came up and untied the ropes on Cao Zhang's body.

Cao Zhang looked at Hua Tuo and was puzzled in his heart, but he was able to escape from death because of this old man, and he couldn't help but look at him with feeling. And Cao Pi hated Hua Tuo to the bone at this time, and after a few shouts, he was going to order someone to take him down.

Hua Tuo looked at the two wolf-like soldiers behind him, waved his hand to stop, "Wait." ”

Cao Pi thought he was going to change his mind, and with a happy face, he said, "Wait, what else do you have to say?" ”

Hua Tuo slowly took out a pill from his arms, swallowed it in one gulp, and said miserably: "The old thief is dead, how can the old man be humiliated?" ”

Cao Pi understood that Hua Tuo was going to commit suicide, and hurriedly ordered someone to stop him. But since Hua Tuo is a miracle doctor, is the poison he uses an ordinary thing? In an instant, the corners of his mouth overflowed with black blood, and he fell to the ground. Everyone in the tent was full of consternation, Jia Xu leaned forward to help Hua Tuo up, and shouted in a low voice: "Divine doctor, divine doctor...... Divine Doctor" Tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes.

Hua Tuo's breathing was weak, and he looked at Jia Xu and said intermittently in a low voice: "Sir, the old man has never failed the trust of King Wei, and I hope that Mr. can also try his best to protect the two sons." As soon as he finished speaking, he died of anger.

At this time, Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhang were also on the side, faintly hearing Hua Tuo's weak words, they couldn't help but be shocked. Jia Xu secretly wiped away his tears, forced himself to calm down, got up and said to Cao Pi: "Hua Tuo has committed suicide in fear of sin, so bury him." ”

There is no proof of death again, Cao Pi waved his hand helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Drag it down, tomorrow's class teacher, everyone go down and prepare first." He glanced at Cao Zhang again and said, "The soldiers and horses in the second brother's front camp will be taken over by General Zhang for you, and you will stay in the camp to take care of your father and queen affairs with me." Cao Zhang nodded silently, the matter has come to this, and now Cao Pi is justifiably going to inherit the throne, and he can only obey orders.

Early the next morning, Cao Pi led the army to Xu Du, and the whole army returned to the north with Dai Xiao. Not a day, the army arrived outside the city of Xudu, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty led a hundred officials out of Guo Shili to greet him, wearing white robes, welcoming Cao Cao's coffin into the city and placing it in the side hall. Since the dedication of the emperor, everyone gathered to cry in the hall, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi were all crying and crying.

Suddenly, a person stepped forward and said loudly: "The son of the world is mourning, and he is discussing important matters." Everyone looked up at it, it was Sima Fu, the middle concubine. This person sent an envoy from Wancheng and was detained in the camp, and later Cao Cao died of illness, and in order to appease Sima Yi, he was brought back to Xu Du without harm.

At this time, Sima Fu stood up to speak, and many officials were displeased, and listened to him: "The king of Wei is shook, and the world is shaking; Appoint an heir early to the king, so as to reassure the hearts of the people. Why not weep? ”

This is reasonable, Cao Pi was overjoyed in his heart, but he said: "I should be the heir, but if there is no edict from the Son of Heaven, how can I make a mistake?" After speaking, he looked at the emperor.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty since his accession to the throne, bullied by the ministers, Cao Cao died of illness today, on the surface is crying bitterly, but in the heart is indescribable ecstasy. Now seeing Cao Pi and Cao Cao and the rest of their henchmen looking at themselves fiercely, they don't know what to do. Seeing Shang Shu Chen get up again, he said: "Wang Xue is outside, I am afraid of accidents, and it is not the blessing of the society." He drew his sword and cut off the sleeves of his robe, and said sharply: "Today, I will ask for the heir." If the officials have dissenters, take this robe as an example! The officials trembled, and they didn't dare to speak.

Hua Xin took out an edict from his arms, walked to the emperor on his knees, and said respectfully: "The canonization edict has been drafted, please use the treasure for Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that Cao's henchmen were powerful, Emperor Xian sighed secretly in his heart, and tearfully took the jade seal and covered it. Hua Xin hurriedly got up and read aloud, this is his flattery Cao Pi, who was prepared two days earlier, and canonized Cao Pi as the king of Wei and prime minister. After reading it, Cao Pi took his second brother, and hundreds of officials bowed to the ground, and the mountain shouted long live. Emperor Xian had no choice but to drive back to the palace, and he faintly felt that the Han dynasty was over.

Cao Pi succeeded to the throne on the same day and was worshiped and danced by bureaucrats of all sizes. Wancheng Sima Yi also surrendered, willing to be the king of Wei Yongzhen Nanyang, the south defense Zhao Shu, and the east imperial Sun Quan. Cao Pi was not suitable for using troops in mourning, accepted Sima Yi as a minister, and was still the general of Zhennan. Jia Xu knew the relationship between the two, so he had no choice but to be canonized by Cao Pi.

Cao Pi lived on the throne and rebuilt An for 25 years as the first year of Yankang; Feng Jiaxu is the Tai Lieutenant, Hua Xin is the Xiangguo, and Wang Lang is the Imperial Doctor; Bureaucrats, big and small, are all rewarded.

As soon as the mourning period passed, hundreds of officials held a banquet to celebrate Cao Pi's succession to the throne. During the banquet, Jia Xu got up and played: "The mourning period of the first king has passed, and the two marquis should not live in the capital for a long time, please return to the country as soon as possible." ”

Cao Pi frowned and said: "Lone and the second brother get along very happily, and they can't bear to be separated, so why don't they build a mansion in Xudu and see Lone day and night." ”

"No." Jia Xu said: "Since the two marquis have a title, they should only stick to their fiefdoms and not stay in Beijing. ”

Cao Pi's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, this Jia Wenhe, who always relied on the old and sold the old, now made it clear that he was protecting his two younger brothers, but his words were good, so he had to say: "In this case, I will set up a banquet to see off the second brother in the coming day." ”

The banquet broke up unhappily, Cao Pi retreated to the back hall, frowning, the third child was just gone, after the death of his father, he immediately handed over the 20,000 soldiers and horses he brought. But the second child is not very willing, if he is released back to Jinyang, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain, and the disaster will be endless?

"King, Hua Xiangguo asks to see you." Cao Pi looked at Chen Sheng who came to report the news, this guy is the same as Naishi, he is loyal to his father, and now he is the king of Wei, his attitude is very different from before, it seems that power is indeed a good thing. Cao Pi nodded slightly and said, "Please." ”

After a while, Hua Xin followed Chen Sheng inside, knelt down first, and then got up and stood aside. Cao Pi waved his hand to signal Chen Sheng to retreat, and then asked, "What's the matter with Ziyu?" ”

Hua Xin took a step forward and whispered: "The Marquis of Yanling is brave and extraordinary, and the Marquis of Linzi is ambitious, if you follow the words of the Taiwei, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the king." ”

Cao Pi knew that Hua Xin was good at figuring out the intentions, nodded and said: "Wenhe's words, although Lone is unwilling to agree, but he has no reason to oppose it. ”

Hua Xin said with a smile: "This matter is easy to hear, the Marquis of Linzi is known for his talent, tomorrow the king will set up a banquet to test it in public, if you can answer it, you will release it, and if you can't, you will take the opportunity to depreciate it." The Marquis of Yanling is famous for his bravery, and the king can also be compared. ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "It is not a bad idea to make the two of them lose face in front of everyone." ”

The next day, Cao Pi held a banquet for Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi and the two of them set up a banquet to see them off, and all the officials of Xu Capital gathered together. After a few rounds of drinking, Cao Pi raised his glass and said: "Tomorrow, the two virtuous brothers will return to the feudal country, and they are very reluctant to give up. ”

Cao Zhi was about to get up and humble, but Hua Xin said first: "I have heard for a long time that the Marquis of Linzi is quick to think, and it should be limited to seven steps, otherwise how can you show the extraordinaryness of the Hou Ye." ”

"Exactly." Cao Pi Zhengse said: "If the third brother can't do it, Gu Ke will punish you heavily." ”

How smart is Cao Zhi? Naturally, he saw that the two were singing double reeds, but he was bold and bold, and it was natural to write poems, so he came out and said, "Please also ask the king to ask the question." ”

Cao Pi pondered for a moment, and said: "Just take 'brother' as the title, but you can't commit these two words." Jia Xu couldn't help but worry about Cao Zhi. But when he saw that he had reached the sixth step, he opened his mouth and said, "Boiled beans are used as soup, and soy beans are used as juice." The beans are burning under the kettle, and the beans are crying in the kettle. This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? . ”

Cao Pi's color suddenly changed greatly, one was surprised by Cao Zhi's literary talent, and the other was that he saw that the officials had a lot of pity and sympathy, and he was about to open his mouth to appease him. But I heard Chen Sheng shouting in the back hall: "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”

Cao Pi was shocked again, and then understood that Chen Sheng must be secretly making trouble, and hurriedly got up to greet the hundred officials. The Queen Mother Bian is the biological mother of Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong. Xiong died early due to illness, and now the apse heard Chen Sheng say that Cao Pi wanted to persecute his brother, so he has been checking behind the palace, seeing Cao Zhi composing poems like this, his heart rushed out with grief, and asked Cao Pi and said: "You sit on the father's inheritance, and now your father's bones are not cold, why do you force your brother too much?" ”

In front of the hundred officials, Cao Pi didn't dare to be displeased, and hurriedly smiled: "Erchen doesn't dare, it's just that the two younger brothers are about to travel far away, so they set up a banquet to send each other, and composing poems is purely for fun." ”

Mrs. Bian sighed and said, "I only hope that the three of you will live in harmony and keep the father's inheritance together." Your two younger brothers have fiefs, and they will be sent back in the future. ”

"The retainers obeyed." Cao Pi sighed secretly in his heart, the governor was not harmonious, and he only hoped that Cao Zidan and Cao Wenlie could restrain Cao Zhang in the two states, otherwise they would inevitably fight against themselves, and the disasters would be endless.
