The second elder brother is a new king, so he may not dare to kill his opponents, but if he rebels, it will be a heinous crime. Not only the lives of his family will be endangered, but also many innocent people will be implicated, how can he bear it?

"Hehe, Zihuan's succession to the throne is based on the legacy of the previous king. He has the legacy in his hand, so doesn't His Highness not have it?"

"Mr. Taiqing was joking. I never had any last order. If there is one, I might really be able to give it a try."

"I said yes, of course there is, Your Highness, please see what it is!"

"Ah!--The Legacy of the Former King!"

While speaking, Yang Xiu walked around for a while to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, then closed the doors and windows tightly, and took out a golden tube from his bosom, which was small and exquisite, and exquisite in workmanship!

Cao Zhi took it with both hands, opened it carefully and looked at it, his face changed drastically in an instant, it was really a father's order inside!

The first half of the decree was exactly the same as the one announced by the imperial court. It stated some trivial matters, such as setting up concubines, distributing property, etc., but the latter part was completely different.

He directly reprimanded Cao Pi for being unfaithful and unfilial, and harboring evil intentions. In the future, the country and the country will be disrupted. For the sake of the common people's livelihood, he will be deposed as the son of the world, demoted to the common people, and exiled to Mobei!

He also praised Cao Zhi, who is loyal, filial, benevolent, virtuous and heroic, and has a lonely demeanor. He will surely inherit the legacy and expand the foundation of the Cao family. Therefore, he was established as the reserve and succeeded the king of Wei!

Xiao Yi, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Liu Ye, and Jiang Ji were also ordered to be the eight ministers of Gu Ming, who loyally assisted Cao Zhi in managing military and political affairs!

At the end of the decree, it was mentioned that Xiao Yi, as the first and auxiliary minister, had made great contributions to the Cao family, and the other seven ministers who were responsible for his life must be controlled by him, and Cao Zhi should regard him as a brother, and participate in major events together!

There is Cao Cao's own handwriting on the bottom, and it is also stamped with the treasure of the king of Wei and the golden seal of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!

…………

This is so strange, Cao Cao clearly left a legacy to pass the king to Cao Pi, why did another legacy appear to depose Cao Pi and replace Cao Zhi?

Even if Cao Zhi was to be passed on, why didn't he announce the will, instead it fell into the hands of Yang Xiu? What happened to the previous order?

"No, how dare you imitate the handwriting of this will..."

"Shhh! --Don't tell me if you see through it, as long as His Highness knows it well!"

"But……"

"No but, Your Highness only needs to be clear about one thing. This decree can turn defeat into victory and become the supreme person in the world. Everything is enough!"

.........

After carefully watching it several times, Cao Zhi finally discovered the problem. The handwriting on this will was [-]% similar to that of his father.

That is to hold the power in the world, command thousands of horses and thousands of troops, and it has been cultivated slowly over the years. Others can only imitate the superficial, but they cannot imitate the charm!

In other words, this is a fake legacy, but the level of imitation is so high that even Cao Zhi almost made a hole in it, so it shouldn't be a problem to deceive ordinary people.

It turned out that Yang Xiu, who was the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion, often saw Cao Cao's warrants, and his handwriting was very clear. Over the years, he worked hard and secretly imitated the traitor's handwriting.

Therefore, a false will was made to depose the eldest son Cao Pi and replace the fourth son Cao Zhi to succeed him as the king of Wei. As for the seal on it, it was also forged with two radishes, but it was so lifelike!

Then again, the level of falsification of this will is so high that it can almost be confused with the real one.

First of all, the first half of the decree remains unchanged, and the second half is only slightly changed. It completely imitates Cao Cao's tone, which increases its credibility and easily confuses the world.

Secondly, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu remained unchanged in the selection of auxiliary ministers, which guaranteed the interests of the clan generals. Once this will was announced, the clan generals would not desperately oppose it.

Cheng Yu's name is also there, representing many veterans and ministers, and they will not oppose it desperately unless their interests are violated!

The original Hua Xin and Dong Zhao were replaced by Liu Ye and Jiang Ji. The former two were Cao Pi's supporters, but the latter two had a very good personal relationship with Cao Zhi!

Liu Ye and Jiang Ji are important ministers of the imperial court, their character, qualifications, prestige, ability... are far higher than Hua Xin and Dong Zhao, and if they are assistant ministers, all civil and military officials will not object, and the two are even more indifferent. Will object, who doesn't want to be the Minister of Gu Ming?

If the two get in touch, a group of civil and military ministers in the imperial court will probably turn to support Cao Zhi. This is a force that cannot be ignored!

And the most subtle part of this decree is that it raised Xiao Yi's status, not only ranking him as the head of the eight ministers, but also having the power to control the other seven!

You must know that although Cao Cao entrusted Xiao Yi with entrustment, he was worried that his power would be too strong and his ambitions too great, and he would seize the Cao family's power. Therefore, he made eight officials to assist the government. In fact, seven people restrained one person and firmly restrained him. Stay with Xiao Yi!

Now that this shackle is broken, Xiao Yi must be very happy. He might give up Cao Pi and support Cao Zhi. After all, human nature is selfish. Who wouldn't want to have more power?

To put it bluntly, Yang Xiu's forged order is as effective as 20 elite soldiers. As long as it is made public, it will definitely cause turmoil in the world!

"After all, this decree is false. If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty question it, how should I respond?"

"Everything in the world is hard to distinguish between true and false. As long as His Highness insists that it is true, the false will be true. Why worry about it!"

"What if the queen mother intervenes in this matter?"

"The king died outside, and he was ordered on his deathbed. How can the generation of the queen mother intervene in the great matter of abolishing the establishment!"

"If the emperor issued an imperial decree, after all, the world is dominated by the Han!"

…………

Cao Zhi has outstanding literary talent, suave style, and good ability to handle government affairs, but after all, he lacks some experience. He belongs to the flowers raised in the greenhouse and cannot withstand wind, frost, rain and snow!

Now facing the big event of raising troops to rebel and seizing the world, he suddenly became panicked, unable to make up his mind, and raised many trivial matters to make excuses for his cowardice!

An angry Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, hating himself for not having the foresight, how could he help this wretch? Is this the son of a traitor in troubled times, or is it that Mrs. Bian once stayed out at night ten months before Cao Zhi was born...

"If your Highness is indecisive and hesitant to make a big deal, then take this and go to Xuchang by yourself. I'm sorry that my subordinates can't accompany you there!"

"Trying to persuade for a long time, it still didn't work, Yang Xiu was so angry that he couldn't help it, he took another thing out of his bosom, and put it directly in front of Cao Zhi!

This was just delivered. An edict issued by Cao Pi asked Cao Zhi to return to Xuchang without a soldier or a single soldier, and pay homage to the new king. Cao Zhi's wives, concubines and daughters should also return with him. Stern, even revealing a bit of murderous intent!

It is conceivable that as long as Cao Zhi leaves Linzi City, ministers will come immediately to take over the military and political power in Qingzhou, and eliminate the forces cultivated by Cao Zhi!

When Cao Zhi's family arrived in Xuchang City, they really became fish on the chopping board, killing or scraping, letting them go, without the power to resist!

"No, no, Xu Chang must not go back, otherwise it will be a dead end, but the matter of raising troops is too big, how about we discuss it in the long run?"

"The king is away, and people are panicking. It is a good time to raise troops. If you are hesitant, will your Highness still have a chance when Zihuan is firmly seated as the king?"

"But if we raise troops at this time, what chance do we have of winning?"

"Your Highness raised troops at this time, it's hard to say how much chance you have of winning, you can only resign yourself to fate, but your subordinates know that if Your Highness doesn't fight, you will surely die in the future, and there is no way to survive. It is life or death, please decide yourself! "

…………

"Forget it, instead of sitting still and waiting for death, why don't you fight hard and fight him to the death, and let the world see that Cao Zijian is not made of mud!"

Stimulated by Yang Xiu's words, Cao Zhi finally made up his mind to raise troops "following the order of the legacy". Anyway, he would die horizontally and vertically. If he wants to survive, he has to work hard!

By the way, Qin II Hu Hai, didn't he get rid of his eldest brother Fusu and sit on the throne of emperor by relying on a fake will?

What Hu Hai can do, why can't I do it myself, I just want to be Hu Hai's second... Bah!Pooh! ...There are many people who conquered the world in history, what do you do by imitating a subjugated king?
