Chapter 185: Cao Pi's ambition is to be the emperor

Cao Pi had resentment in his heart about Cao Cao's injustice to him in the past, because according to the etiquette system since ancient times, to establish an heir is to have a descendant and no heir.

Since Cao Cao's original wife, Mrs. Ding, reconciled with Cao Cao, Mrs. Bian was supported by Cao Cao as his wife.

In this case, Cao Pi himself is the de facto eldest son of Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao did not set him up as the heir because of his status as the eldest son, but hesitated for a long time, and successively moved the idea of establishing Cao Chong and Cao Zhi as the heir.

Let's not talk about whether Cao Pi himself has the ambition to become Cao Cao's successor, if he lets his younger brother ascend to the throne as the heir, will he let him go after his younger brother succeeds to the throne in the future?

Treat others with yourself, Cao Pi doesn't think so.

Therefore, in order to seize Cao Cao's position as heir and save his life, Cao Pi could only fall into the endless struggle for succession.

In that battle for succession, because of Cao Cao's intentional favoritism, even if his own ability was not bad, the hardships in his heart exhausted him.

Although he won in the end, it also cost him too much of his own attention, so that gray hair appeared early.

Maybe Cao Cao believes in the law of choosing an heir that respects the strong, but this law makes Cao Pi's heart full of resentment towards Cao Cao.

After telling the incomprehension and resentment that he didn't dare to say in his heart before, Cao Pi's heart finally had a moment of joy.

But just as his heart was happy, the sorrow in his heart began to take over.

No matter what, Cao Cao is also his father, Cao Pi is not a stone, and his father's departure has filled his heart with sorrow.

Since today, he has become the king of Wei, who wields great power, but since then he has also lost his father who has always sheltered him.

It's just that Cao Pi is an ambitious person, whether he has resentment or sadness tonight, he is also full of expectations for his future.

He is only thirty-four years old this year, the youngest of the three princes today, and he still has the millions of armor soldiers and countless good generals left to him by Cao Cao.

The destiny of heaven must be in him in the end!

Cao Pi knelt in front of Cao Cao's spiritual throne and continued, "Since my father thinks that I am not as good as my eldest brother and Cangshu, then my son must make some achievements."

"The son wants to prove it to his father and the world, and my father chose me in the first place, which was the most correct choice!"

When Cao Pi said this, the incomprehension and sadness in his tone had all dissipated, and his tone at the moment was full of hesitation.

Cao Pi looked up at Cao Cao's tablet in front of him, and under the flickering candlelight in the hall, Cao Pi's originally sad face had a determined look.

Then Cao Pi got up and put a stick of incense on his father.

The incense was lit, and a burst of misty smoke began to rise from in front of Cao Pi, looking at the smoke that gradually rose, Cao Pi's heart thought about what he would do after he succeeded to the throne.

The top priority at the moment is to stabilize people's hearts and smoothly inherit Cao Cao's ownership position during his lifetime.

It's just that this point, with the relatives of Zhu Cao and Xiahou, and the many talents left by Cao Cao, it is not difficult.

It's rare to know what he's going to do next.

Just as Cao Pi was thinking, the voice of the waiter outside the hall came, saying that it was Sima Yi, the middle concubine, who asked to see him.

….

After hearing Sima Yi's request to see him, Cao Pi's face was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered Sima Yi to come in.

As the tall hall door was slowly pushed open, the figure of Sima Yi, dressed in plain clothes, appeared outside the main hall.

At this time, the door of the palace had not yet been closed, and under the illumination of the moonlight outside, Sima Yi, who was standing at the door of the hall, seemed to be in the boundary between light and darkness, and his face was not clear.

His shadow stretched out on the floor of the temple in the moonlight.

Cao Pi didn't notice this somewhat strange scene, as the door of the palace closed again, most of Sima Yi's figure standing at the door of the hall was hidden in the darkness.

The sound of the temple door opening made Cao Pi's eyes look towards the temple gate, and when he looked, he could only vaguely see that there was

A figure in the dark.

He knew that that person was his confidant Sima Yi, and Cao Pi beckoned Sima Yi to come forward.

Under Cao Pi's summons, Sima Yi came to Cao Cao's spiritual seat very respectfully, and he only saluted Cao Pi after making a big bow to Cao Cao's spiritual seat.

Sima Yi's polite and courteous face fell in Cao Pi's eyes, which made him extremely satisfied.

He liked the ministers who were respectful and courteous.

Looking at Sima Yi's face, Cao Pi couldn't help but recall the words that Cao Cao warned him at the beginning: "Sima Yi is not a human minister, and he will foresee your family affairs."

At that time, Cao Cao saw that Sima Yi had the appearance of an eagle looking at a wolf, and he had dreamed that three horses were in the same groove, so he was disgusted with Sima Yi and said this to him.

It's just that when Cao Pi listened to Cao Cao's words to warn him, because he had always been friendly with Sima Yi and believed in his character, he often defended him in front of Cao Cao.

Without Cao Pi's maintenance, Sima Yi might not have survived until now.

How can such a respectful courtier interfere in my family affairs in the future? Father was so worried.

As for the reason why Cao Pi firmly defended Sima Yi at the beginning, it was not only because he had a friendly relationship with Sima Yi, but also because Sima Yi was his confidant and think tank.

During the struggle for succession, there were four ministers who were his staunch supporters, and these four ministers were Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, and Zhu Shuo.

These four ministers gave him great help in the original struggle for succession, and without the help of these four people, he would not necessarily sit on the throne of the crown prince of Wei State.

And among these four ministers, except for Wu Zhen, it was Sima Yi who helped him the most.

Although Cao Pi is not broad-minded, he has always been grateful to those who have helped him.

After Cao Pi finished worshipping Sima Yi, he led Sima Yi to the inner hall.

This hall was originally Cao Cao's office and sleeping place, so the layout of this hall is very wide, even in the inner hall, there is no less than the space of the outer hall.

After arriving in the inner sanctum, Cao Pi sat down on the throne, and then he asked Sima Yi to sit not far in front of him.

After Sima Yi sat down, Cao Pi asked Sima Yi, "Zhongda came to look for orphans late at night, is there something important?"

Faced with Cao Pi's inquiry, Sima Yi replied, "The minister came to relieve the king's worries."

Hearing Sima Yi say this, a look of surprise appeared on Cao Pi's face, and he asked Sima Yi, "What's Lonely?"

….

"The king is a man of great ambition, and of course the one who worries is the pacification of the world."

Sima Yi's answer made the look of surprise on Cao Pi's face disappear, replaced by a sigh.

He praised Sima Yi and said, "Zhong Da really knows the heart of the lonely."

Cao Pi's praise made Sima Yi's face even more humble.

When Cao Cao was alive, in order not to show his intelligence too much, he didn't talk about many things, even if he knew how to crack them.

But now that Cao Cao is gone, he no longer needs to deliberately hide his intelligence.

has been with Cao Pi for many years, and he has already understood Cao Pi's character thoroughly.

Although Cao Pi has the suspicion of inheriting Cao Cao, it is mostly for those who have opposed him.

And for those who have always supported him, Cao Pi has never been stingy with his trust.

Compared with Cao Cao's eloquence, Cao Pi is much less keen.

Since Sima Yi would have chosen to be a member of the company, he naturally wanted to achieve some achievements, and his previous restraint was for the sake of taking off in the future.

As long as he can continue to show his ability, so that Cao Pi can truly realize that he is the one who can assist him to calm the world, then his status and official position will definitely rise.

Of course, it can't be said that Sima Yi has a different mind now, and he is still in the mentality of wanting to assist Zuo Mingjun to establish a meritorious career.

Seeing that Sima Yi guessed the ambition in his heart at a glance, a slight smile appeared on Cao Pi's face.

In today's Cao Cao pro

In the question he asked before he died, if he had answered it according to his true thoughts, it would have answered: choose the weak and perish.

As early as when he never inherited the throne, he had a heart that calmed the world, let alone now.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and asked, "Zhong Da thinks that what should Lone do next?"

Cao Pi and Sima Yi have been friends for many years, and they have been through hardships together.

Therefore, Cao Pi still trusts Sima Yi, and there is no need for him to hide his thoughts in front of his henchmen.

Facing Cao Pi's inquiry, Sima Yi already had a draft in his heart.

He said to Cao Pi, "The minister thinks that after the king stabilizes the situation, he should ask the Son of Heaven to change the yuan."

Hearing Sima Yi suggest that the first thing to do after stabilizing the situation was this, Cao Pi couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Why?"

Today's Han era name is Jian'an, and the era name Jian'an has been used for 25 years.

People all over the world are accustomed to the name of Jian'an, and Sima Yi suddenly suggested that he change the yuan, which made Cao Pi not know the reason for a while.

Under Cao Pi's puzzled gaze, Sima Yi said: "The Jian'an era began in the year when the first king welcomed the Son of Heaven, and the Jian'an era has gone through twenty-five years, and these twenty-five years are the stage when the first king and auxiliary government opened up and expanded the foundation."

"Because of this, as long as the world mentions the name of Jian'an, they will think of the previous king."

"The great king of the present day inherited the great cause, and at the beginning, he needed the prestige of the previous king to protect the king, but the king could not live under the protection of the previous king for a long time."

"From ancient times to the present, every time a new monarch succeeds to the throne, he has to change the yuan to show that the world is about to usher in a new atmosphere.

Era names not only signify the revolution of the old and the new, but also often represent the political needs of the new monarch."

….

"Although the current king is not the Son of Heaven, he can also ask the Son of Heaven to change his yuan to show the people of the world the fact that the first king died and the king succeeded to the throne, so as to subtly influence the hearts of the people in the world."

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

Ma Yi said cautiously, but judging from the excitement on his face, he thought more about Sima Yi to continue.

The supreme of Kyushu, the son of heaven, the Lile conquest came out of it, in the face of such a title, how could Cao Pi not be tempted?

In the end, he saw that there was no one around, and Sima Yi was his confidant, so he said to Sima Yi: "The matter of becoming the emperor is a big matter, and it should not be rash."

Cao Pi's answer proved that he definitely had the intention of being the emperor in his heart.

In fact, not only Cao Pi, but also when Cao Cao was alive, he did not have similar thoughts.

In history, after Cao Cao and Sun Quan joined forces and defeated Guan Yu, Sun Quan declared himself a vassal to Cao Cao, and Chen Qun and Huan Jie took advantage of this opportunity to write to Cao Cao to claim the title of emperor.

Although Cao Cao finally rejected the proposal, and uttered the widely circulated phrase, "If the destiny of heaven is lonely, lone is the king of Zhou Wen."

But if Cao Cao really had no intention of becoming emperor, why did he say such a thing?

If it is really a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't Chen Qun and Huanjie be imprisoned?

And the most important thing is that at that time, Chen Qun and Huan Jie, as the world's great celebrities, used the way of public writing to persuade Cao Cao to become emperor.

This is enough to show that there were already remarks in the Wei State at that time to persuade Cao Cao to become emperor, and Cao Cao maintained an ambiguous attitude towards these remarks.

Otherwise, in public and private, it would be impossible for Chen Qun and Huan Jie to risk the destruction of their family's Qingwang and dare to take the lead in publicly writing to Cao Cao to persuade him to become emperor.

Although due to the changes in the history of this world, Cao Cao's famous words have not had a chance to be spoken.

However, the remarks of Cao Cao calling him emperor had long been circulated within the Wei State, and this did not change.

Cao Pi also knew about this, and it was precisely because he knew that he did not dare to act rashly.

It's just that since Sima Yi dared to take the initiative to make this suggestion, he must have the certainty of convincing Cao Pi.
