On July 15 of the first year of Han Yankang, Liu Xiechan, the son of Han Tianzi, was located in Cao Pi, the king of Wei.

Cao Pi, the king of Wei, ascended the altar of Zen in Fanyang Pavilion and accepted the jade seal, that is, the emperor's throne.

After the completion of the Zen ceremonial ceremony, Cao Pi immediately led the army and civil and military officials into Xudu.

In the palace of Xudu, Cao Pi made the edict of the three dukes in front of the civil and military officials:

"At the beginning of ancient times, there was a king, and he would worship grace and beautify customs, but the people would obey the religion and punish them.

Today, I inherit the emperor's thread, which takes the first year of Yankang as the first year of the early Huang Dynasty, and discusses the correction of Shuo, the color of the change, the special emblem, the same law measurement, the inheritance of the land, and the amnesty of the world.

Whatever is not to be forgiven since death, they are forgiven."

This was the first edict issued by Cao Pi after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the three princes of the Wei Dynasty who inherited Cao Pi's edict were Situ Huaxin, Sikong Wang Lang, and Taiwei Jia Xu.

Because when Wei was still a kingdom, all the official positions in its kingdom were set up in the same way as the official positions of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he was directly exempted from the step of adding officials to the knighthood.

After issuing this edict, Cao Pi issued three edicts in a row.

One of the edicts was to posthumously honor the emperor's ancestor Cao Song, the emperor Cao Song, the emperor of Kaowu, and the temple name Taizu.

Another edict was to make Liu Xie the Duke of Sanyang, Hanoi County.

Cao Pi allowed him to serve Han Zhengshuo in his fiefdom and build a temple of Han Zong to worship Han.

And the Duke of Shanyang is above all the princes and kings, Liu Xie does not have to be a minister to the emperor, and he can not worship the emperor's edict.

At this time, Liu Xie had returned from the Gao Temple, and Liu Xie, who had finished sacrificing to the Gao Temple, had officially lost his identity as the emperor and was standing among the ministers of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Listening to Cao Pi's reward for him, no matter what Liu Xie thought in his heart, his face finally showed a look of panic and accepted the "gift" of Cao Pi, the son of Cao Wei.

Cao Pi sat in the exclusive seat of Liu Xie in the past, looking at Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was high in the past, and was accepting his reward in fear and respect, Cao Pi felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Under this mood, in the main hall, Cao Pi politely said to Liu Xie: "The good things in the world, I can enjoy them with you."

As soon as Cao Pi's words came out, Liu Xie didn't take it seriously at all.

Now he just wants to go to Shanyang County as soon as possible to recuperate, and he doesn't want to pay attention to any disturbances in the world.

And after Cao Pi said this sentence to Liu Xie, he issued the last edict of the day.

Cao Pi changed Luoyang to Luoyang, and officially announced the news that Cao Wei's court had moved its capital to Luoyang in front of his ministers.

After Cao Pi's edict was issued, the civil and military officials in the hall bowed to Cao Pi one after another.

Then, under the auspices of the three dukes of the Wei Dynasty, they left the main hall one after another, went to arrange the relocation of the capital, and announced the matter of today's Han Emperor Chan Concession to the world.

When the ministers left one after another, Cao Pi ordered four ministers to be left, and these four ministers were Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, and Zhu Shuo.

When Cao Pi was still the crown prince, these four ministers were collectively called Cao Pi's "four friends of the prince".

They played a lot in Cao Pi's struggle for succession, and they were not only Cao Pi's confidants and friends, but also Cao Pi's right-hand men.

After only these four ministers remained in the main hall, Cao Pi no longer had to hide his true feelings.

Cao Pi looked at the four friends from the past standing in the main hall and said, "Shun, Yu's matter, I know it today."

Between Cao Pi's words and tone, there was an unconcealable joy.

And the four ministers in the main hall also had joy on their faces after hearing Cao Pi's words.

It is the so-called climbing dragon and phoenix.

When the four of them followed Cao Pi, they saw that Cao Pi had potential, and wanted to help Cao Pi ascend all the way to become the supreme in the world.

Cao Pi's success today is inseparable from the original support of the four of them, and similarly, after Cao Pi became the emperor, the glory of Cao Pi and the four of them were also honored.

Now Cao Pi has become the Son of Heaven according to their vision,

The day when the four of them will soar is not far off.

It's just that among the four ministers, only Sima Yi still kept his sanity after joy.

Sima Yi bowed to Cao Pi on the throne and said:

"Your Majesty, it won't be long before the news of Your Majesty's enthronement will spread throughout the world.

At this time, Your Majesty should strengthen the military defense on all borders to prevent Liu Bei and Sun Quan from moving in the south."

Sima Yi's advice sobered Cao Pi from joy.

Yes, there are still two of his henchmen in the south who have not yet been removed.

Although Sun Quan is not worried for the time being, Liu Bei, who is the most powerful in the south, should step up his precautions.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi, and he asked Sima Yi, "What does Zhongda suggest?"

Under Cao Pi's inquiry, Sima Yi replied: "Now that the matter of receiving Zen has been completed, and Your Majesty will move the capital to Luoyang in the near future, at this time Your Majesty should send General Zhenxi to Guanzhong as soon as possible to supervise the military of Yong and Liang."

"Most of Liu Bei's elites live in Shuzhong, if they want to enter the Kou, Yong and Liang are important places."

"And if it is cold and unstable, it will be uneasy in Guanzhong. If Guanzhong is uneasy, Luoyang is in danger.

At this time, the general of Zhenxi is the governor of Yongliang's military affairs without delay."

After listening to Sima Yi's suggestion, Cao Pi thought so.

Originally, it was an expedient measure for him to keep Cao Zhen by his side.

Now that the ritual has been successfully completed and his internal worries have been relieved, he has to think carefully about external troubles.

It's just that Cao Zhen is not only the general of Zhenxi at present, but also serves as the leader of the central army, if Cao Zhen wants to go to Yongliang to take office, then someone has to take over the leading army.

But a moment later, Cao Pi came up with a candidate to serve as the leader of the central leadership.

Cao Pi looked at Zhu Shuo in the main hall and said to him, "After Zidan goes to Yongliang, Qing will take over the position of leading the army."

When Cao Pi's appointment was spoken, Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, and Sima Yi were all shocked.

Even Zhu Shuo's own face showed a huge look of joy.

Zhu Shuo is a native of Peiguo, and in the later period of Jian'an, he became a subordinate of Cao Pi and became one of Cao Pi's important think tanks.

It's just that although Zhu Shuo is resourceful, he is anxious, so his reputation among colleagues is not good.

Zhu Shuo, who was anxious, hurriedly bowed down to Cao Pi to thank him, as if he was afraid that Cao Pi would regret it.

Why was Zhu Shuo so surprised, and Sima Yi and the three of them were so surprised to hear that Zhu Shuo was appointed as the leader of the Central Army?

It is because of the particularity of the position of the leader of the army.

The position of leading the army was initiated by Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao was the prime minister, in the twelfth year of Jian'an, he set up a central army in the prime minister's mansion, which was served by Shi Lian, a close general, to lead the personal guards and forbidden army.

Later, Cao Cao took the position of the central protector, which was held by Han Hao, and the central army shared the matter of the guard.

The middle and leading forces are like senior generals, who can open a mansion, and there are Changshi and Sima under it.

With the change of time, the authority of the leading army of the Central Army has become heavier and heavier, and it has the power to preside over the selection of military attaches and supervise and control the generals.

Up to now, the leading army has developed into a battalion directly under the army, responsible for commanding the middle guard, the five captains, and the supreme commander of the forbidden army such as the military guard, the middle base, the cavalry, the backbone, and the guerrillas.

For example, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is under the control of the Central Army.

At the same time as the power of the central army continued to grow, Cao Cao was worried about this, so later the position of the central leader was mostly held by the clan's cronies.

But now such an important position, Cao Pi actually chose to hand it over to Zhu Shuo.

And the most important thing is that Cao Pi broke the unspoken rule that the position of the leader of the middle army is mostly held by clan relatives, and handed over this position to Zhu Shuo, who was born in the scholar family!

This kind of political signal is really intriguing.

It is impossible for Cao Pi not to know the importance of the position of the leader of the middle army, and it is impossible for him not to know Cao Cao's good intentions to let the clan serve as the leader of the middle army.

But in Cao Pi's view, Zhu Shuo is his confidant, and it goes without saying that he is loyal to him.

Moreover, if he blindly eccentric the clan and does not release a good political signal to the scholars, it is not conducive to stabilizing him

That's why he made this arrangement.

Seeing Zhu Shuo excitedly bow down and thank him, a smile appeared on Cao Pi's face: "I trust Qing a lot, Qing needs to work hard to not let me down."

Faced with Cao Pi's admonition, Zhu Shuo of course hurriedly agreed.

Cao Pi's personality is very contradictory, sometimes very generous, sometimes stingy.

But he has a distinctive character trait, that is, as long as someone has helped him, then he will definitely spare no effort to believe in him and reuse him.

For example, Jia Xu, Jia Xu helped Cao Pi to win the heir.

Therefore, after Cao Pi inherited the throne of King Wei, he immediately appointed Jia Xu as the chief lieutenant and became one of the three dukes.

You must know that the most important condition for serving as the third prince is that there must be no stain on your reputation.

But Jia Xu doesn't say whether his reputation is stained, because of his advice back then, his reputation in the world is simply stinky.

Jia Xu's reputation is even worse than that of Cheng Yu, the minister of "preserved meat", but even so, Cao Pi still tried his best to defy public opinion and forcibly put him in the position of the third prince.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Cao Pi broke the unspoken rules today and promoted Zhu Shuo to the position of the leader of the Central Army.

But what Cao Pi probably didn't expect was that it was his actions today that caused a very bad impact in the future.

The Central Leader Army and the Central Protector Army are the commanders of the Cao Wei Central Army, and the Cao Wei Central Army is the most elite part of the Cao Wei army, and it is also the forbidden army that guards the central government.

Today, Cao Pi broke the unspoken rule that non-clans cannot serve as the leader of the army, which will undoubtedly set an example for the successor monarch.

In history, Sima Yi was able to counterattack and control Luoyang in one fell swoop without losing all military power, and a very important reason was that the Chinese army and the central protector army at that time were held by scholars for many years......

For example, Jiang Ji and Sima Shi.

In history, it was the Chinese army that Cao Cao single-handedly created to defend Cao Wei.

This result is really full of irony.

The initiator, what is the aftermath?

Cao Cao's warning before he died, Cao Pi should have forgotten.

After Cao Pi appointed Zhu Shuo as the leader of the Central Army, Wu Zhen, who was in the main hall, suddenly reminded Cao Pi: "The military affairs of the northwest are important, but Your Majesty must not neglect the military affairs of Jingzhou."

Wu Qianzi Ji Chong, Dingtao people, is a famous writer in the world.

At that time, Cao Cao recruited talents in Juancheng in order to develop his strength, and Wu Zhen came.

Because of his talent and knowledge, he was appreciated by Cao Pi and became Cao Pi's best friend.

In the "Four Friends of the Prince" that year, Wu Zhen was the closest to Cao Pi in terms of relationship.

In terms of helping Cao Pi make plans to win the crown prince, Wu Zhen also contributed the most.

In this case, in fact, Cao Pi's trust in Wu Zhen is higher than that of the other three friends.

Hearing Wu Zhen's reminder, a solemn look appeared on Cao Pi's face.

Most of the land of Yongliang is plains, and there are not many cavalry troops in Liu Bei's army.

Even though Liu Bei's army made a large-scale northern expedition to Yongliang, occupying a geographical advantage and Cao Zhen's military strategy, Cao Pi actually didn't have too much to worry about.

However, Jingzhou's generation of mountains, forests, and rivers is conducive to Liu Bei's army to give full play to the strengths of the infantry army and the water army.

The most important thing is that there are two people in Jingzhou who Cao Pi is afraid of:

One is Guan Yu stationed in Xiangyang, and the other is Mi Yang stationed in Xicheng.

This pair of Weng sons-in-law are all famous generals in the world, and if Liu Bei is on a big Northern Expedition in the future, it is impossible for this pair of Weng sons-in-law to be without action.

The combined force of Mi Yang and Guan Yu, that kind of deterrent made Cao Pi unable to sleep when he thought about it.

Cao Pi looked at Wu Zhen and asked, "What is Ji Chong's countermeasure?"

Seeing Cao Pi ask himself, a smile appeared in Wu Zhen's heart.

Compared with Liu Chan's "Four Friends of the Prince", which is intimate, Cao Pi's four friends are actually not united internally.

For example, Wu Zhen did not deal with Chen Qun and Zhu Shuo.

The reason why Wu Zhen suddenly reminded Cao Pi of Jingzhou's defense was except for his

In addition to worrying about Mi Yang and Guan Yu, another reason is that he doesn't want to see Zhu Shuo too proud.

Zhu Shuo, the leader of the central army, did it, and he naturally did it.

Wu Zhen bowed to Cao Pi and replied: "General Che Cai is a world-famous general, but he is the only one who supervises the military of Dong, Jing, and Yang, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to handle it."

"Your Majesty might as well send Beren to lead the army to assist the Che Cai General to garrison Jingzhou, so that even if Mi Yang and Guan Yu join forces to enter the Kou in the future, the southern military has the Che Cai General and Boren here, and they can also be guaranteed to be worry-free."

The Boren in Wu Zhen's mouth refers to Xiahou Shang, and the relationship between Xiahou Shang and Cao Pi is very close.

After Cao Pi inherited the throne, he immediately named Xiahou Shang as the Marquis of Pingling Pavilion, and worshiped the scattered cavalry.

When Wu Zhen suggested that Cao Pi send Xiahou Shang to the south to assist Cao Ren, Cao Pi's face immediately appeared thoughtful.

When Cao Cao returned to Yecheng earlier this year, he mentioned to him his meeting with Liu Bei.

According to Cao Cao, he and Liu Bei both brought their two sons and nephews to meet.

Liu Bei brought Mi Yang and Guan Ping, while Cao Cao carried Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang.

After Cao Cao mentioned this matter to him, he solemnly warned him to be careful of Mi Yang.

and reminded him that Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang both have military strategies, and they can be of great use if they are cultivated well.

Cao Cao's reminder is still vivid in Cao Pi's mind.

Now Wu Zhen reminded him again that he should be careful of the combined force of Mi Yang and Guan Yu, and Cao Pi couldn't help but pay attention to it.

As Wu Zhen said, if Mi Yang and Guan Yu join forces to attack Nanyang in the future, then Cao Ren alone will be lacking in skills.

Under such circumstances, it was necessary to send another general to assist Cao Ren.

At present, Xiahou Shang is indeed a very suitable candidate.

So Cao Pi said to Wu, "Good!"

…

Soon after, Xiahou Shang received an edict from Cao Pi, who appointed him as the general of the expedition to the south, made the Marquis of Pingling, led the history of Jingzhou, and assisted Cao Ren in garrisoning Nanyang.

After receiving this edict from Cao Pi, while Xiahou Shang thanked the messenger of the Son of Heaven, ambition began to appear in his heart.

Everyone in the world knows that Mi Yang is good at fighting, but they don't know the name of my Boren.

But now, here's your chance!
