Chapter 209: Heaven is not Zuoer, and the Han Dynasty is severed

When Cao Zhen learned from those few ministers that Liu Xie's sentence "King Wei can do it himself", a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, just as Liu Xie thought, even if he didn't agree, Cao Pi had a way to create a new dynasty through Zen.

But Liu Xie is like the master of the world after all, if he refuses strongly, it will not be beautiful after all.

Although Liu Xie's words are not in agreement, they are at least the default attitude.

This attitude has already satisfied Cao Zhen, which shows that Liu Xie will obediently cooperate when he needs him next.

Cao Zhen immediately ordered someone to report the news to Cao Pi in Wancheng immediately.

Xudu originally belonged to Yingchuan County, and Yingchuan County was not far from Nanyang County, so a few days later, Cao Pi, who was in Wancheng, received the news.

When he heard the news, Cao Pi was not surprised.

It's just that now that Liu Xie has compromised, he has no reason to hesitate.

Originally, according to Cao Pi's plan at the beginning, he would not start changing the dynasty so soon, and he originally wanted to wait another month or two, but Sima Yi's words reminded him.

Sima Yi thinks that Liu Bei is powerful now, and now that Jingyi and Jingyi are recuperating, they will not easily start a big war.

And Jiangdong was greatly injured by Mi Yang in the First Battle of Public Security, so he didn't have to worry about Sun Quan's Northern Expedition for at least a few years.

If Cao Pi did not take advantage of this opportunity, he would speed up the self-reliance of the Han Dynasty and completely bind all the ministers under his rule to the Great Wei.

Once Liu Bei recovers his vitality and the Northern Expedition, the Han Emperor is still alive at that time, and some vacillating courtiers may make trouble in the rear.

At that time, it will be easy for Cao Pi to fall into a state of being attacked on his belly and back.

There is no external trouble, first cut off internal worries!

After listening to Sima Yi's advice, Cao Pi made up his mind to speed up the process of acting for the Han Dynasty.

In the original history, Cao Pi began to put the act of receiving Zen on the table in October of this year.

In history, Liu Bei was attacked by Sun Quan and lost Jingzhou's vitality, and Sun Quan had the intention of being a vassal to Cao Pi, in this case, Cao Pi certainly had time to twist slowly.

But now that Liu Bei's power has not been damaged, but has been further expanded, Cao Pi's actions as emperor will naturally have to be changed accordingly.

Anyway, as early as when Cao Cao was alive, all the preparations for Cao Pi to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty were made, and all Cao Pi had to do was to issue that order.

It's just that although Cao Pi is anxious, the Three Kingdoms are different from the Northern and Southern Dynasties of later generations, and most of the people in this era are embarrassed.

Cao Pi is not a barbarian who doesn't know the number of etiquette, so some façade work still needs to be done.

Soon after, a messenger from Wancheng rushed into Xudu.

After this messenger sailed into Xudu, auspicious news began to circulate throughout the north.

In April of the first year of Yankang, Huanglong was seen in Yu.

In May of the first year of Yankang, Rao An was now white.

In June of the first year of Yankang, Shiyi said that the phoenix gathered......

All kinds of auspiciousness began to appear from all over the world.

And after these auspicious appearances, among the more than 100 ministers brought by Cao Pi from Yecheng, some people began to take the lead in persuading Cao Pi.

A Zuo Zhonglang named Li Fu will begin to raise his suspicions to Cao Pi, the king of Wei, and use various allusions to persuade Cao Pi to become emperor.

After Cao Pi received Li Fu's dismissal, he announced Li Fu's dismissal to the public.

He emphasized to his ministers in public that he was a man of thin virtue and would never dare to have the heart of arrogance.

But in the face of Li Fu's persuasion and rebellion, Cao Pi did not execute him.

After Cao Pi released this signal, the civil and military ministers in Wancheng still didn't know Cao Pi's intentions.

So the second letter of persuasion came immediately.

This time, the number of ministers who persuaded him to enter suddenly increased.

There are more than 100 people who signed the name, such as Liu Hui, Xin Bi, Liu Ye, Shangshu Linghuanjie, Shangshu Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, and Wang Yu, Dong Yu, who gave the Huangmen waiter.

Under the second persuasion of the ministers, Cao Pi personally wrote the article

Refute these ministers and let them not insult their loyalty.

Cao Pi's writing is extraordinary, and the rejection articles he wrote are so sincere that they make people cry when they read them.

And just after Cao Pi refuted the persuasion of the ministers for the second time, more ministers began to *** Cao Pi to claim the emperor.

In a month or so, the minister made a total of nine persuasions.

Although Cao Pi rejected the ministers' nine persuasions one by one, the more Cao Pi refused, the more ministers persuaded Cao Pi to become emperor.

It's just that in the process of Cao Pi's refusal, the ministers have already helped Cao Pi set the date of receiving Zen.

Even many ministers have already begun to build the altar.

What's even more ridiculous is that since the fifth persuasion, the ministers have openly called Cao Pi His Majesty.

Looking at this aspect alone, what others don't know still thinks that Cao Pi is a puppet monarch like Liu Xie, and even the rebellious behavior of his ministers cannot be stopped.

And just when the ministers were persuading Cao Pi, Liu Xie's edict on the throne also came to Wancheng as scheduled.

Faced with Liu Xie's edict on the throne, Cao Pi's first reaction was to "humble" the writing on the ground.

After Cao Pi's first resignation, Liu Xie issued three more edicts to perform the Zen throne three times.

Liu Xie's first three edicts on the throne, Cao Pi all resigned.

But in the face of Liu Xie's fourth edict, Cao Pi stopped his resignation.

"I reigned for thirty years and two years, and I was overthrown by the world, but fortunately, thanks to the spirit of my ancestors, I was able to survive in danger. However, looking up at astronomy and looking down on the hearts of the people, the number of Yan Jing is over, and the luck depends on the Cao family. ......

The trip of Fu Avenue, the world is for the public, and the selection of talents and abilities is carried out, so Tang Yao is not selfish in the Turks, but the fame is infinite. I envy and admire Yan, and now he is chasing Yaodian, and Zen is located in the King of Wei." 」

Looking at the contents of Liu Xie's last edict, Cao Pi knew that he could no longer resign.

So, Cao Pi ordered Wang Jia to set off for Xudu.

Since you are not ready to resign, then accept the destiny of heaven.

...

In the Jingfu Hall of Xudu, Zhang Yin, the master of the Han Dynasty, was leading some armor soldiers and looked at Cao Jie, the queen of the Han Dynasty in front of him.

Just today, Liu Xie summoned the ministers and important ministers of Xu Duzhong, appointed Zhang Yin, the imperial historian in front of them, and went to the altar outside the city with the emperor's seal, and gave the emperor's throne to Cao Pi instead of him.

Under Liu Xie's edict, Zhang Yin rushed to Jingfu Hall immediately after the end of the court meeting and asked Cao Jie for the jade seal of the country.

The jade seal of the country was carved by Qin Shi Huang after he unified the world and ordered Li Si to take Lantian jade and carve it with a small seal.

The front of the jade seal is engraved with the eight insect and bird seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang".

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the jade seal of the country was obtained by Liu Bang, and after getting the jade seal of the country, Liu Bang set it as a symbolic token of the emperor when he was called the emperor.

Under the 400-year rule of the Han Dynasty, the jade seal has long become a token of imperial power in the minds of the Chinese people.

If the person who is called the emperor does not have the jade seal of the country, it is not orthodox.

Because of the importance of the jade seal of the country, Zhang Yin must get this thing before going to the Zen platform.

It's just that after learning the truth from Liu Xie's mouth that day, Cao Jie has always kept the heirloom jade seal by his side.

No matter how many waves of envoys Cao Pi sent to ask her for it before, Cao Jie never handed over the jade seal of the country to Cao Pi's envoys.

Today is the day when Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor by Zen, Zhang Yin knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, and he must get his hands on the jade seal of the country today.

Zhang Yin saw that Cao Jie still didn't want to hand over the jade seal of the country, so he had no choice but to order the armor to step forward.

Watching the armor approaching step by step, Cao Jie's face was already covered with tears.

She knew that she couldn't keep it anymore, the last destiny of this big man.

Under the grief, Cao Jie looked at the inscription on the jade seal of the country in her hand, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", she couldn't help but wonder, since the Han was ordered by the sky, why didn't the heavens send people to protect the Han?

Then Cao Jie looked at Zhang Yin angrily, and she scolded Zhang Yin angrily first

After a while, he threw the jade seal of the country at Zhang Yin.

Then a deafening prophecy came out of her mouth:

"Heaven is not Zuoer!"

The jade seal of Chuanguo smashed heavily on Zhang Yin's body, and then rolled to the ground.

But Zhang Yin didn't care about the pain in his body at this time, he hurriedly bent down and respectfully picked up the heirloom jade seal from the ground.

In the end, he just glanced at Cao Jie and left the hall.

The task has been completed, he has no time to deal with Cao Jie, and he has no capital to deal with Cao Jie.

In Zhang Yin's heart, the prophecy issued by Cao Jie was just a joke.

The Mandate of Heaven is in Wei.

Watching Zhang Yin lead the armor away, Cao Jie sat on the ground weakly.

Her face was already drenched with tears, and she looked to the east at the high temple, where his husband was paying homage to his ancestors and telling him about his unfilial piety.

There are enshrined all the Ming monarchs of the two Han Dynasty who owned the temple number.

Liu Bang of Han Taizu, Liu Heng of Han Taizong, Liu Che of Han Shizong, Liu Xun of Han Zhongzong, Liu Xiu of Han Shizu......

When these Son of Heaven was alive, which one was not a hero of the suppression of contemporary times!

But if they have a spirit in the sky, how sad will it be to watch the great man fall to such a point?

Cao Jie hid her face and cried, she tried her best, she really tried her best!

She deserves the title of "Queen of the Han Dynasty".

...

On the fifteenth day of July in the first year of Han Yankang, the king of Wei, Cao Pi, arrived in Fanyang, outside the city of Xu.

Fanyang is a place name, but it is an open place outside the capital.

And Cao Pi could not "resist", and the altar of receiving Zen built for him by the ministers was here.

Before Cao Pi's king arrived in Fanyang, the 30,000 troops he brought and hundreds of civil and military ministers had already come to the altar of Shouzen one step in advance.

The 30,000 troops, under the command of their respective generals, imposed martial law on a radius of several miles.

Under the instructions of the confessor, hundreds of civil and military ministers stood in their respective positions according to their official positions and titles.

When Cao Pi's king, escorted by thousands of tigers and leopards, slowly drove under the altar of Zen, the tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked towards Cao Pi's location.

Before Cao Pi appeared from the king's car, tens of thousands of "Your Majesty" had already resounded around the altar.

Tens of thousands of "Your Majesty" voices rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

Cao Pi, who was sitting in the king's car, listened to the deafening tens of thousands of "Your Majesty" in his ears, his chest was rising and falling rapidly, and his face immediately became flushed.

Your Majesty's name, the name of the Son of Heaven!

At this moment, what man would not be excited!

Under the call of tens of thousands of "Your Majesty", Cao Pi's figure slowly appeared from the king's car.

He got off the throne with the support of the confessor and walked towards the altar of meditation in front of him.

At this time, Cao Pi had already changed into the emperor's exclusive crown dress for sacrificing heaven and earth.

Looking at the towering and majestic altar in front of him, Cao Pi's heart continued to stir.

Cao Pi shook off the hand of the confessor beside him, and the next road was something that his great father had never walked, and he wanted to go by himself.

Cao Pi took a step forward and walked towards the altar in front of him step by step.

Soon after, Cao Pi came to the altar of Zen.

Cao Pi looked up at the top of the altar that seemed to be hidden in the clouds, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he firmly raised his feet and stepped on the first step of the altar.

Step by step, Cao Pi walked towards the apex of his life with firm steps.

As Cao Pi ascended step by step, he could no longer see the faces of the people under the altar.

But as he ascended step by step, Zhang Yin, who was at the top of the altar and holding the jade seal of the country, came into his eyes.

Cao Pi's eyes were instantly attracted by the heirloom jade seal in Zhang Yin's hand.

Ordered by the heavens, both longevity and eternal prosperity, this is the deepest desire of his heart.

Under the attraction of that longing, Cao Pi couldn't help himself

Jue quickened his pace, and soon after, he reached the top of the altar.

After seeing Cao Pi ascend to the top of the altar, the eyes of tens of thousands of people under the altar were looking at him from the bottom to the top.

The altar looked at Cao Pi's tens of thousands of people, including ministers, princes, generals, and Xiongnu Shan Yu and the four Yi dynasties.

No matter how unattainable and unattainable they are in the eyes of ordinary people, they are now looking at Cao Pi on the altar with surrendered eyes.

After coming to the altar of receiving Zen, Zhang Yin took the initiative to come to Cao Pi with the heirloom jade seal, and then he personally handed over the heirloom jade seal representing the mandate of heaven to Cao Pi.

Then Zhang Yin began to read aloud, Liu Xie's last edict as the Son of Heaven.

"King Shierwei: The former Emperor Yao Chan is located in Yu Shun, and Shun also uses his destiny to Yu, the destiny of heaven is not normal, but it is virtuous."

「...... In the play, the calendar of the sky is bowing, allowing it to cling to it, and the sky will never end; The king only obeys the great gift and feasts on all the nations to uphold the mandate of heaven."

After Zhang Yin read this edict aloud, it represented that the mandate of heaven of the Han Dynasty had been transferred to the Great Wei.

After that, Zhang Yin retreated from the altar of meditation with interest.

Cao Pi was excitedly holding the jade seal of the country, and he ordered the attendants on the altar to light the three firewood piles on the altar.

Then Cao Pi handed over the heirloom jade seal in his hand to the waiter on the side for the time being.

He himself took the jade silk from the table on the altar and sacrificed it on top of the firewood that had been lit.

The three firewood piles represent heaven and earth, five mountains, and four blasphemy, and Cao Pi is making a fire sacrifice.

This is the ancient ritual of the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, and this is also the exclusive right of the Son of Heaven.

When Cao Pi put in the jade silk and sacrificed himself in the three pyres, the flames in the three pyres suddenly became fierce.

Under the reflection of the firelight, Cao Pi picked up the jade seal of the country and began to read his sacrificial text aloud:

"The emperor's ministers dare to use Xuanmu to announce to the emperor and empress: There are four out of twenty in the Han Dynasty, and there are six out of four hundred and twenty years in the Han Dynasty, the four seas are poor, the king is not standing, and the five latitudes are wrong.......

Pi only inherits the emperor's elephant, and dares not to admit it. Bu Zhi Shou Turtle, Zhao has a big horizontal, Xiao Zhi three Yi, Zhao has a leather omen, carefully choose the first day, and the group Liao ascended the altar to receive the emperor's seal, tell the same as the great god of Yuer;

Weier has Zen, Shang Fang Yongji, the hope of the people, Zuo Yu has Wei Shixiang."

After Cao Pi finished reading the sacrificial text he had dedicated to the Empress Emperor, he began to turn around.

When Cao Pi turned around, the twelve strings of beads in the crown of the Son of Heaven on his head began to swing non-stop.

Cao Pi's majestic gaze looked through the swinging twelve strings of beads to the tens of thousands of people under the altar.

At this time, tens of thousands of people under the high altar bowed down to Cao Pi above the high altar.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Tens of thousands of voices resounded between the world and the world again, and Cao Pi closed his eyes and enjoyed the intoxicating sound of worship.

In Cao Pi's feelings, it seemed that the creatures between heaven and earth were bowing to him and surrendering to him.

This is a dignity that he could not experience when he was the king of Wei.

After enjoying it, Cao Pi opened his eyes and looked south, his eyes were full of sharpness.

Today, I have lost the Han, how will you be treated?

What can you do!
