In front of Cao Cao's couch, Cao Pi, the crown prince of Wei, fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

Looking at Cao Pi's grief-stricken appearance, all the ministers in the palace were moved by Cao Pi's filial piety.

At this time, Jia Kui, who was also the minister of mourning, walked up to Cao Pi and said to Cao Pi: "The death of the first monarch is the sorrow of the people of Wei."

"The crown prince is responsible for the country, and the king has just passed away, and people's hearts are bound to fluctuate."

"The prince should rest his grief and take up the responsibility of governing the country and appease the people's hearts, so that the king will have a spirit in heaven and will no longer be involved."

But in the face of Jia Kui's advice, Cao Pi still looked sad and couldn't help himself.

The monarch's father died suddenly, although Cao Pi's sorrow is understandable to Jia Kui, but this is not the time to just cry.

Jia Kui took advantage of his status as a mourning minister to take the seal of King Wei, and then he came to Cao Pi with the seal of King Wei in his hand.

The Wei Wang Xishou represents the power and identity of the Wei King, and before and after coming to Cao Pi, Jia Kui handed the Wei Wang Xishou into his hands.

Then Jia Kui helped Cao Pi up and asked him to face the weeping ministers in the palace.

Jia Kui endured the sadness in his heart, he helped Cao Pi to face the ministers and said: "The first king unfortunately passed away, but the prince is here, the state has a prince and a deputy, according to the etiquette system, the first king died, and the crown prince should succeed to the throne, and the princes have not come to see the new king."

After finishing speaking, Jia Kui took the lead in kneeling down towards Cao Pi and worshipping.

Jia Kui has always been very prestigious in the Wei state, and he was the chief funeral minister personally designated by Cao Cao before his death.

Therefore, under his leadership, the ministers in the palace and Cao Cao's family heirs bowed to Cao Pi and bowed to the monarch and ministers.

"The ministers pay their respects to the new king."

In a burst of kneeling sounds, Cao Piling, the crown prince of Wei, succeeded to the throne and officially became the new king of Wei.

Cao Pi looked at the hundreds of ministers who bowed down to him in front of him, and saw them bowing at his feet, and he felt sad in his heart, but also a sense of excitement in his heart to be in charge.

Is this what supreme power tastes like?

Cao Pi has been the crown prince of Wei for many years, and it is not that he has not held power.

In last year's "Wei Irony Rebellion", Cao Pi, who was responsible for staying in Yecheng, used the power in his hands to launch a purge of Yecheng, with thousands of people sitting in the group.

It's just that he was the crown prince of Wei before, and the power in his hands came from Cao Cao, which was not stable and limited.

But from today on, he has become the new king of Wei and the de facto master of the six states under heaven.

From then on, everything he said was a royal decree that tens of millions of living beings had to obey.

Everything he does will have a huge impact on the vast land of China.

This kind of unbridled and supreme power makes Cao Pi's heart full of excitement and expectation for the future.

It's just that Cao Pi is scheming, and he knows that now is not the time to exert his power as King Wei at will, and his position as King Wei is not stable.

Just after the ministers had paid homage to Cao Pi, the king of the New Wei Dynasty, a minister came out to advise Cao Pi:

"Today, there are Liu Bei and Sun Quan on the outside, and there are people with ill intentions who are ready to move, and the first king died suddenly.

The minister thought that it would be better to conceal the news of the death of the first king for the time being, keep the news of the death of the first king secret, and wait until the situation is stabilized before announcing the news of the death of the first king."

….

The person who came out to worship and admonish was Chen Qun, Chen Changwen, who was the servant of Wei at the time.

Chen Qun, a native of Xuchang County, Yingchuan County. He is the grandson of Chen Yu, the chief of Taiqiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the son of Chen Ji, the great Honglu.

Chen Qun was born in the Yingchuan Chen family, a famous family, and was used by Liu Bei as a special driver in Yuzhou in his early years.

When Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, he was made a subordinate of Cao Peng of Sikong Xi, and later transferred to the military of the prime minister.

When Cao Cao was crowned the Duke of Wei, he served as the Imperial History of Wei, the Marquis of Wuting of Chang, and later transferred to the servant.

Chen Qun had an outstanding talent for governing the world, and Cao Cao valued him very much when he was alive, and Chen Qun has always been loyal and dutiful.

He has served in both China and foreign countries, and has rich experience in governing the Wei state's etiquette and political system

degree of construction, has made an outstanding contribution.

Most importantly, he is one of Cao Pi's "Four Friends of the Prince", a standard princeling, Cao Pi's confidant.

After Chen Qun came out to make a suggestion, because of his prestige in the Wei government and the opposition and the merit of his suggestion, many ministers seconded it.

Cao Pi, who had just succeeded the king of Wei, also had a look of approval on his face after hearing Chen Qun's advice.

But Chen Qun's suggestion was opposed by Jia Kui.

Jia Kui said to Cao Pi: "Since ancient times, there have been clouds, and if the name is not right, it will not be good."

"Now that the king has died, it is reasonable and legal for the king to succeed to the throne as the crown prince, what is there to hide?"

"Besides, there are many courtiers in the hall today, how can they keep it a secret?"

"The king's top priority, one is to send the news of the death of the first king to the Son of Heaven in Xudu, so that the Son of Heaven can officially canonize the king to inherit the throne of King Wei and prime minister."

"The second is to send messengers to mourn the death of the first king and the succession of the king, so that officials from all over the world will come to mourn and worship the new king."

Rightly speaking, this is the most important link in the transfer of power in the past generations.

Although Cao Cao was the de facto master of the six states under heaven before, he was still nominally the king and prime minister of Wei of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Cao Pi inherited the throne of the king of Wei, and he had to obtain the edict of the emperor of the Han Dynasty from the procedure and name.

Moreover, the news of Cao Cao's death cannot be hidden, and once it spreads, it will inevitably cause panic.

At this time, it is simply a matter of covering one's ears and stealing the bell, and the result may be even greater turmoil.

Cao Pi's previous identity as the crown prince of Wei has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people of the world are ready for Cao Pi to inherit the throne one day.

In this case, it is better to directly announce Cao ***'s news, and let officials from all over the country except for the generals who lead the troops come to the funeral, and officially determine the status of the chief minister, which is the best way to appease people's hearts.

Chen Qun and Jia Kui's completely different suggestions made Cao Pi, who had just become the king of Wei, hesitate.

Both of them have a point, although emotionally Cao Pi is more inclined to Chen Qun, but Jia Kui, as the minister personally designated by Cao Cao to receive the funeral, his words Cao Pi cannot be ignored.

After careful consideration, Cao Pi finally decided to adopt Jia Kui's suggestion.

Maybe now his identity has only been recognized by the minister of Yecheng.

However, Yecheng was the center of power of the Wei State, and the ministers in Yecheng were all high-ranking officials of the Wei State.

Once they admit their identity, then it will not be long before everyone under Cao Cao's rule will naturally recognize his identity.

….

The most important thing is that at this time, most of the leading generals in various places are Zhu Cao and Xiahou clansmen, and they must support themselves.

With their support and suppression, there will be no major turmoil in various places because of the death of the previous king.

Cao Pi can be made the crown prince by Cao Cao, maybe his strategic vision is not as outstanding as Cao Cao, but his own intelligence is not bad.

After making a decision in his heart, Cao Pi said to Jia Kui: "Jia Qing was entrusted with the important task of treating the funeral by the first king, and now that the first king has passed away, the sadness in his lonely heart cannot be suppressed, and he is afraid that he will not be able to see things in a short time.

During this period of time, I also hope that Jia Qing will preside over internal and external affairs and stabilize the Wei State."

After Cao Pi's order, Jia Kui immediately knelt down to Cao Pi and said, "The minister will swear to the death to stabilize the Wei State."

After kneeling down to Cao Pi, Jia Kui got up and looked at the ministers in the main hall, and he issued one order after another in his mouth.

Jia Kui first ordered Wu Wei Zhonglang to lead Xu Chu to lead the forbidden army and guard the entire palace, which was bound to ensure the safety of all the people in the palace during Cao Cao's funeral.

Later, Jia Kui ordered Cao Xiu, the leader of the army, to lead part of the Chinese army in Yecheng, and distribute heavy troops to guard the gates of Yecheng.

He also asked him to send the Chinese army to patrol the alleys of the big city in Yecheng to prevent small disturbances during the mourning period.

Jia Kui was originally the chief funeral minister designated by Cao Cao before his death, and had the power to preside over everything during Cao Cao's funeral.

Now Jia Kui has got a new one

Wang Cao Pi was officially appointed, so when his order was issued, Xu Chu and Cao Xiu wiped the tears from their faces and immediately got up to arrange the defense according to Jia Kui's instructions.

Not long after Xu Chu and Cao Xiu left, there was a sudden sound outside the main hall of the armor soldiers colliding with their stomachs because of running.

On the windows of the main hall, many majestic warriors are also reflected.

When the ministers in the hall saw this scene, their hearts sank.

Although the first king was a king, there were still pillars in the Wei Kingdom.

After Xu Chu and Cao Xiu were ordered to leave, Jia Kui turned to Cao Pi and bowed again: "The first king has a great prestige in the army, once the news of the death of the first king spreads, the army of Yecheng will inevitably be restless."

"I also ask the king to lead hundreds of officials and ministers, ride the king's car, and lead the forbidden army to inspect the camps and stabilize the morale of the army."

Jia Kui knew that Yecheng was the center of power of the Wei State, and as long as Yecheng was not chaotic, then the documents sent by Yecheng to various places would not be blocked.

Under such circumstances, even if all parts of the world know the news of Cao Cao's death, then it will not cause major turmoil.

When people's hearts are fluctuating, the most taboo is that the government decree is not smooth.

And if you want to ensure that Yecheng is not chaotic, you must ensure that the army of Yecheng is not chaotic.

Those armies are the elite of Wei, as long as they can obey the new king Cao Pi, then Cao Pi's position in the palace of Yecheng can be regarded as secure.

Although Jia Kui's suggestion made Cao Pi hesitate, he finally agreed, "Yes."

After getting Cao Pi's consent, Jia Kui was overjoyed, the new king may not have the Wen Taowu strategy of the previous king, but his decisiveness still has the style of the previous king.

Jia Kui immediately ordered someone to bring mourning clothes for Cao Pi to change into, and then he ordered all the ministers in the hall to change into mourning clothes.

Because Cao Cao felt that his time might not be long before, he ordered people to prepare the mourning clothes and rituals.

….

After completing this step, Jia Kui asked his deputy Sima Yi to stay in the main hall and be responsible for arranging all the affairs of the mourning hall and arranging the appearance of the body of the former king.

Facing Jia Kui's orders, Sima Yi bowed down to receive orders.

Jia Kui himself personally accompanied Cao Pi to lead the civil and military officials and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

Under the steps outside the main hall, there is a six-horse Jingen car that Cao Cao rode in the past when he was alive.

Seeing the royal car representing the royal power, Cao Pi's eyes flashed with a hint of longing.

But in front of the ministers, he disguised it well.

When Cao Pi and the civil and military officials went down the steps and came to the six-horse Jingen car, Jia Kui personally helped Cao Pi onto the six-horse Jingen car.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

Most of the generals in the city army were Cao Cao's cronies.

Under the prestige of the Wei king and the suppression of officers at all levels, those small-scale unrests were quelled in time, and in the end did not cause large-scale unrest.

...

After Cao Cao's body was sorted out, it was placed in the coffin.

Cao Cao's coffin was hidden in the depths of the main hall under the cover of many spiritual curtains.

The incense left by Cao Cao before his death is burning in the incense burner in the main hall, exuding fragrance.

In the huge hall, many spiritual candles are slowly burning, bringing a few lights to the dark hall.

It was late at night, in the dark and deep hall, Cao Pi knelt in front of Cao Cao's spiritual seat in mourning clothes.

After Cao Pi returned from the barracks, he came to the main hall.

He withdrew all the guards in the hall, and he had some private things he wanted to talk to his dead father.

"Father, I still remember when I was a child, I listened to your teachings, read a wide range of books, and read poetry and treatises at a very young age.

At that time, you yourself taught me archery, and under your teaching, I was able to shoot archery at the age of six, I could ride at the age of eight, and I could follow you everywhere at the age of ten."

….

"Although you were very strict at the time, and your eyes were on the eldest brother, I was very happy during that time.

Because whenever I succeed in my studies, you always touch my head and praise me."

"But then it changed, after the eldest brother died in Wancheng, you no longer praised me, and became more and more strict with me.

Does my father think that it should be me who died in Wancheng back then, not the eldest brother?"

"I've been trying to get your attention, but I've never had the praise I've been looking for for for more than 20 years."

"When the eldest brother is here, your eyes are on the eldest brother. The eldest brother is dead, and there is Cangshu again.

Cangshu is dead, and you pin all your hopes on Zijian.

Am I really that bad that I can't get your approval?"

In the end, Cao Pi's words were full of incomprehension and sorrow.

In the moment before Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi was hiding his true self.

After Cao ***, Cao Pi dared to really express his thoughts.

In Cao Pi's heart, he did not disrespect his father.

Cao Cao has always been like a pine on a high mountain, and he has been the object of his lifelong pursuit.

But later, under Cao Cao's deliberate suppression, his respect for Cao Cao turned into fear.

It's just that what Cao Pi didn't know was that at the moment before Cao Cao died, he stretched out his hand to stroke his head as he did when he was young.

But it is a pity that an action he has been pursuing for more than twenty years has finally been ruined by his fear.

Whose fault is it that the Father does not know the Son, and the Son does not know the Father?
