Great Wei Nengchen

I thought that once the decree came out, there would be "loyal people" who would stand up and support it. Unexpectedly, there would be a silence, so Yang Xiu had no choice but to go out and explain the origin of the decree to increase its credibility. Stealing things happened frequently in history, and Qin II is the best example.

He also asked someone to fetch a letter of alliance, and asked everyone present to sign and draw a pledge to support Cao Zhi's army, enter the court to destroy the traitors, and regain his own throne!

Finally, he pulled out the sword at his waist, put one next to the alliance letter, and scanned everyone with murderous eyes, as if threatening with force. If even Qingzhou officials can't handle it, how can they call on the people of the world?

Luring and intimidation were both ways, and someone really stood up, but unfortunately it was not the "loyal man" that Yang Xiu expected, but a real loyal man!

"The prince has been established for several years, and he has never been at fault. Now that he has inherited the throne and officially announced it to the world, how can he abolish the establishment indiscriminately? Guan Chao, the prefect of Beihai County, swears that he will die without a nameless teacher!"

"This decree of the former king must have been forged by Bashu or Jiangdong, and it was sent to His Highness in order to stir up discord between brothers, so that they could take advantage of it. Xu Jun, the prefect of Beihai County, advises His Highness Think twice, don't fall into a trick!"

"Your Highness is sincerely for the country, why don't you go to Xuchang City and explain the matter clearly in front of all civil and military officials?"

"For many years of fighting, the common people have suffered misery. The previous kings fought for decades and spent countless painstaking efforts to achieve today's peaceful situation. We must never use swords again!"

…………

Someone made a start, civil and military officials spoke one after another, and the sound was like a tidal wave, which changed the expressions of Cao Zhi and Yang Xiuzhen. How could it be completely different from what was expected?

Cao Zhi has been the shepherd of Qingzhou for several years. He has always been a corporal with courtesy and kindness, and has established a certain prestige. He thought that if he raised his arms, he would definitely respond!

There were quite a few people who didn't want to respond, but all of them were against it, especially in Qingzhou, which has six counties of Linzi, Pingyuan, Donglai, Jinan, Le'an, and Beihai, and the prefects of the six counties were all opposed to raising troops, and their attitude was extremely firm. It's the real power faction!

To sum it up, more than [-]% of the hundreds of officials present were opposed to raising troops, and the remaining [-]% were not in favor of raising troops, but did not dare to come out to oppose it under the threat of force.

The only ones who really supported Cao Zhi were dozens of aides, retainers, and dead soldiers headed by Yang Xiu. They all followed from Xuchang, loyal, and swore to follow each other to the death. From the hero of the dragon, win a piece of glory and wealth!

In addition, none of the powerful patriarchs and local tyrants present stood up to oppose, but quietly gathered together, talking secretly, this seemed to be a force that could be used!

Chapter 1608 Cao Zhi rises up and fights brothers! (Four)

"People's hearts are not convinced, so what can I do, why don't we discuss this matter in the long run?"

"If the decree has not been announced, His Highness can still make a long-term plan. Now that the decree has been revealed, is there any way out for His Highness?"

"But no one is willing to help, so how can we raise troops?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have a clever plan. Since people don't help each other, why don't you ask the sky for help?"

The crowd was furious and opposed to the army, Cao Zhi also retreated a little bit, and asked Yang Xiu quietly beside him, and the answer he got made him firm again.

I gathered together civil and military forces and announced the false will. The matter was too big. Even if I couldn't afford to rebel, the news would spread. After the second brother Cao Pi found out, how could he let himself go so easily?

If he was charged with 'forgery of a will, with intent to commit treason', even if he had ten heads, he would have to chop off all of them, and then he would have to throw his body in the wilderness, even Cao's ancestral grave would not be allowed to enter.

Anyway, they are all dead, so it is better to grit your teeth and rebel, maybe you can find a way out, even if the rebellion is unsuccessful, you can still escape!

"The ancients said: Different ways don't conspire with each other, since you are not willing to join in the big event, Zijian will never force it!

Come on, send the adults who object to it to the side yard for a while to rest, and they are not allowed to leave the state pastoral mansion, but they must arrange their accommodation and food, and don't wait too long!

Please also consider carefully what is the general trend of the world. If anyone has repented and is willing to rebel and punish traitors, Cao Zijian welcomes them! "

If there are only three or five people who oppose it, they can be killed directly. It can also be used to intimidate people's hearts, or to sacrifice the banner of rebellion, but there are too many opponents, at least three to four hundred people, so we can't kill them all, right?

These are Qingzhou officials, some are in charge of administration, some are in charge of soldiers and horses, and all of them come from different backgrounds. They are either from noble families or from schools, and there are a lot of relatives and friends!

If you kill one of them, you will offend a large group of people. If hundreds of people are killed, you will offend countless people. Those who lose their hearts will lose the world, and the rebellion will inevitably fail.

They can neither be killed nor let go, lest they go back to wreak havoc, the only solution left is house arrest, perhaps locked up for three to five days, and after some persuasion, some people will change their minds?

"My lords, please cooperate obediently, lest I get rough, let's go!"

……

"Your Highness Fourth, think twice before you act, and be right when you turn around!"

"Your Highness, if you make a mistake, you will be hated through the ages, and if you look back on your life after a hundred years, you must not make a big mistake!"

The guards rushed up and took the opponents down. Before leaving, some people persuaded Cao Zhi loudly, don't do things that hurt relatives and make enemies happy. Brothers and sisters will not end well.

There are more than 200 people left in the coffin, most of them are powerful family heads, local tyrants, and a small number of gentry officials, but none of the children of the academy. Although these people did not oppose, they did not support either, or they were too timid, or I have other thoughts and want to wait and see how the situation develops!

Next, Cao Zhi looked at Yang Xiu, wondering how to get the rest of the people to follow him to rebel. Words might be useless, right?

Yang Xiu's answer is very simple, only two words - Fushi!

Fuji is an ancient divination method, also known as Fuji, Lifting Ji, Lowering Pen, Asking Immortals, etc. It is said that mortals can communicate with gods through this method!

The specific operation is as follows. Prepare a large wooden basin, which is covered with fine river sand. It needs to be washed hundreds of times with clean water, without any impurities, and then exposed to the sun for more than ten days.

Invite a great mage, wearing colorful costumes, holding a willow wood and sheepskin drum, beating hard while reciting libretto, inviting the gods to come to the world... There are various weird movements such as rolling eyes, sticking out tongue, and spitting white foam!

Find another pair of twin boys, brothers and sisters are the best, one male and one female, one yang and one yin, and they are born of the same mother and the same fetus. It is said that yin and yang complement each other, can resolve disasters, and peek into the secrets of heaven!

If you really can't find twins, twin boys and twin girls can also make do, but they must not be older than ten years old, and no matter how old they are, they can't be called boys.

When the mage beat the drum and sang, the dragon and phoenix boy jumped up and down, and the two pairs of snow-white little feet would leave traces on the fine sand, some like words, and some like ghost symbols!

In the end, someone came forward with a pen and ink, copied these ghostly symbols, and then organized them into words according to the trend of the strokes. This is the revelation of the gods, or to show people good or bad luck, or to predict the future!

Since the Han Dynasty, mages have used shamans to descend gods and deceive people's hearts, causing a miasma, but there are many people who believe in it, including emperors and generals, and they even use prophecy to govern the country!

For example: Hu who died of Qin!

The regent is the real emperor!

Those who are on behalf of the Han Dynasty should be on the way!

The above prophecies were all obtained through Fushi, and had a huge impact. For this reason, Emperor Shi Huang always guarded against the Hu people in the north, but ignored his son Hu Hai, leaving the root of the country's subjugation!

However, Wang Mang used prophecy to confuse people's hearts, and successfully captured the Han family and created a new dynasty of the Wang family. Unfortunately, it only existed for eight years before being taken back by the Liu family.

Now that Yang Xiu has followed suit, he also wants to use the technique of supporting the spirit to come up with a few prophecies, proving that Cao Zhi was ordered by heaven to raise troops, and he will definitely be able to sit on the throne. People who are so hesitant will follow suit Soldiers rebel!

The method of supporting the spirit has also been agreed by everyone present. Usually, weddings, funerals, and construction of houses have to look through the old calendars. Let alone such a big matter as rebellion, it is natural to ask God's will.

"Those who practice the Tao, please refer to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"

"Excuse me, Master Lao will act today to predict what will happen to God, and there will be rewards afterward!"

"promise!"

Yang Xiu was very efficient in his work, and soon found a well-known old wizard in Linzi City. He was over 60 years old, with gray hair, blind eyes, stooped and short stature, and held a bamboo pole in his hand. Also known as: Tianji stick!

It is said that the will of heaven is profound and mysterious, and those who peep will be punished by heaven, or they will die, or their family members will be involved. Only blind people who cannot see the world of mortals can avoid karma. Therefore, most wizards are blind, or pretend to be blind!
