Chapter 372: Emperor Duan dies
Yan Song and the other four were grateful to His Majesty the Emperor and hurriedly bowed.
After only serving in the local area for a few years, he was exceptionally promoted by His Majesty the Emperor and transformed into a Beijing official, an honor that is rare in the entire history of the Wei State!
It can be seen how much the emperor values himself.
In the future, we must do more practical things for the country!
When the future officials become bigger and bigger, it is not too late to have some personal interests for themselves.
The ministers of civil and military affairs, except for being surprised by His Majesty's decision, did not oppose it.
In the entire court, who dares to oppose His Majesty the Emperor?
Prime Minister Zhuge ?
He can't either!
And His Majesty the Emperor's approach is very meaningful.
In the future, His Majesty the Emperor will inevitably pay more and more attention to young people, and the most critical point is that these four people are all children of poor families, and they occupy the most critical position among the six departments without a sound.
This makes people have to guess that Your Majesty is going to abandon the family's performance!
If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a lot of turmoil in the court, right?
However, Zhao Changqing's next sentence made the ministers a little confused.
He said: "In the past few years, I have been letting Cao Cao follow several great generals at the border pass to practice the art of war, and I have never held a real position. ”
Who is Cao Cao?
Cao Shen's son!
A meritorious family!
What does your majesty the emperor mean by this?
On the one hand, we must pay attention to the children of the poor family and choose meritocracy, on the other hand, after using meritorious service, why is it more and more difficult to see the operation of His Majesty?
Isn't it
In doing so, His Majesty actually wants to give meritorious deeds or a sweet fruit for the family to eat? So that they too can find the dawn of hope, and one day in the future, they can enter the political center?
Your Majesty's hand is wonderful!
However, I am afraid that for a long time in the future, there will be more and more poor children in the court.
Cao Cao was on his way to the border pass, and a few days ago, he received an order from the emperor to know about making him a squire in the military department.
In this regard, he did not have much turmoil in his heart.
Because he knew very well that only at the border could he quickly revive his father's prestige.
Other than that, nothing else, it doesn't matter.
Now serving as a squire in the military department, in other words, even if it is a war far away from the border pass, this is not what he wants, but the current expediency can only be so.
In the future, we must find a way to return to the battlefield, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no war to fight in the future.
There is no war to fight, which means that from now on, unless you have made great achievements, it will be difficult to have the possibility of shining the lintel.
This is what Cao Cao is most worried about, and everyone in the world feels that it is very good to be a Beijing official.
However, in the world of great contention, only war is the supreme way out.
Leading an army and winning a battle will not only go down in history, but also be promoted, and at the level of Chen Qingzhi, at least the family can continue to be rich for several generations.
Even in the future, these people may become gods!
However, Cao Cao has no way to change at present, so he can only go back to serve as the official position of the squire of the military department.
As soon as Cao Cao arrived in the capital on the front foot, Chen Qingzhi on the back foot received an order, saying that he was going to forcibly capture Xiadongding County.
Chen Qingzhi and his side were just about to make a move, and the envoys that Wei was about to send to Duanguo arrived.
Chen Qingzhi was helpless about this.
The approach of the imperial court is really becoming more and more shameless.
There were 70,000 defenders of Duanguo in Dongding County, which were captured by Chen Qingzhi in just one night, and many deserters were running around.
This time it was a surprise attack, and in advance, the Duanguo side did not expect that after so many years of peace, the Wei army would suddenly start a war.
This day is a day of shame for the country.
When many scholars in their country learned of this, they took to the streets to resist the atrocities of the Wei army.
Over the years, Emperor Duan's health has deteriorated, and after hearing the news that the Wei army suddenly attacked the city and launched a war, he was even more angry, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and then fainted.
The whole country is full of righteous indignation.
wanted to ask the imperial court to march to Wei and avenged the revenge of Dongding County.
But now, Emperor Duan has not woken up.
The Manchu civil and military forces of Duanguo are all kneeling in front of Duandi's house at this moment, patiently waiting for him to wake up.
Regarding the matter of the Wei State, whether it is peace or war, His Majesty the Emperor still needs to make an idea himself.
Two days later, Emperor Duan woke up.
He strengthened his spirit, summoned several ministers of Duanguo, showed them pale faces, and said with a wry smile: "My body, since five years ago, has been getting worse and worse, just now the imperial doctor also said that my body is about to die. ”
The ministers of Duanguo knelt down one after another, holding back tears, and kept chanting 'Your Majesty'!
Sensei said, it's like his own Lao Tzu is dead, and he pretends to be quite similar.
Emperor Duan coughed twice, glanced at the blood stains on the handkerchief, shook his head helplessly, waved his hand to the ministers, signaling that they didn't have to be like this, and then said: "Looking at the situation in various countries, none of them are loyal allies of our Duan country, and if they want to survive in the cracks of the troubled times, no one can rely on them but themselves. I can't do it anymore, the crown prince has just turned eighteen years old this year, and after he ascends the throne in the future, he will rely on your help in many aspects. Thank you in advance. ”
All the ministers of Duanguo knelt down in unison and said: "The ministers will bow down and die!"
They expressed their loyalty in this way, which made Emperor Duan very satisfied.
In the court of Duanguo, there has always been no party struggle and secret fighting, and the political situation has always been stable.
This is also the reason why Emperor Duan was able to say with confidence that he was going to die soon.
He slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, drowsy.
After a while, a humerus minister asked boldly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what should I do about Dongding County?"
Emperor Duan's eldest grandson Ye opened his eyes weakly, and said as if muttering, "Bear with it." ”
The ministers looked at each other for a while.
If you think about it, there seems to be no other way than to endure it now.
They all understood what Emperor Duan meant, that is, it was to see that Wei State went wrong step by step, as the so-called many injustices will kill themselves, and after time, the rest of the countries will inevitably attack Wei again.
We can't let Wei continue to run rampant like this.
Early the next morning.
Emperor Taizu, the founder of Emperor Duan, died at the age of fifty-eight.
The crown prince's eldest grandson Chong succeeded to the throne and changed the era name to Jian'an.
The next day, the envoys of Wei arrived in Duanguo and sent two million taels of silver.
Emperor Duanxin saw off Emperor Taizu, dressed in linen and filial piety, and was grateful to the Wei State, claiming that the two countries of Duanwei were actually friendly neighbors.
