Great Wei Nengchen

Chapter 1628 Be the real emperor if you want to!

"The descendants of the Cao family have been officials of the Han Dynasty for a lifetime, and they have always been fed by the Han Dynasty. Their purpose has always been to help the country and serve the country with loyalty to the emperor.

However, the sages have said: Those who live in the world are virtuous; those who kill the world are thieves; deal with it!

In today's world, people who are frivolous in talent, insecure in prestige, incapable of displaying their virtues, possessing a great position, unable to restrain the feudal lords from causing chaos internally, and unable to deter the barbarians from disturbing the land externally, so that the world is full of chaos and the world is in chaos, are not the talents of a king!

For the sake of the common people in the world, even if he bears the name of injustice, he must have the courage to take on heavy responsibilities, shoulder the rise and fall of the world, and return the common people to a peaceful and prosperous world. "

When the matter reached this point, Cao Pi no longer concealed it, and expressed his determination to usurp the Han and stand on his own in more euphemistic language!

As for how to usurp the Han Dynasty, whether to do it in one step or divide it into two steps, Cao Pi couldn't make up his mind for a while, and wanted to hear Sima Yi's opinion!

Three years ago, Sima Yi planned for Cao Pi, the strategy of "tuning the tiger away from the mountain, and the dove occupying the magpie's nest", trying to seize the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong and Guanzhong, but the matter failed, and instead he lost his wife and lost the army!

Now that there is a difficult matter, why does Cao Pi ask Sima Yi instead of asking other counselors?

The reason is very simple, Cao Pi thinks that the failure last time was not due to Sima Yi's poor strategy, but because Xiao Yi was too cunning and too powerful, if he had been replaced by other counselors, he would have lost even worse!

What's more, in recent years, Sima Yi gave advice and helped Cao Pi solve many problems. He is definitely a top-notch "conspiracy master".

"When your Majesty asks about state affairs, your ministers will know everything and say everything. In fact, how to arrange the replacement depends on the timing, location, and harmony of people!"

Sima Yi's family is very deep, and he never speaks first in meetings, he always listens to other people's opinions first, and after he knows what to say, he decides whether to speak or not, and what to say based on the pros and cons!

Now that Cao Pi asked in person, he knew it was impossible to be low-key, so he stood up from his seat, bowed first, and then said what he had to say...

"The Han Dynasty has been passed down for more than [-] years, and its vitality is exhausted. Therefore, the world is in chaos and the people are dying. After a great chaos, a new dynasty will rise at the right time. This is the law of nature, and this is the right time!

The former king fought for more than [-] years, and the heroes were wiped out one by one. Now there are only two remnants in Bashu and Jiangdong, and they have become frightened birds. If self-defense is not enough, how dare you invade the city of the Central Plains? Three points in the world, the Cao family has won the second. This place is also beneficial!

After the chaos in the world, people's hearts are full of thoughts of peace. All the officials and the people are eager for the Holy Lord to rule the world, and the king is wise, powerful, benevolent, righteous and moral. He is the Holy Lord who comes out once in hundreds of years. And also!

The weather, the right place, the people and the three are all in place, everything is impossible, why should the king look forward and backward, lose the heroic spirit, it is better to let the emperor of Han give way directly, and take charge of this great river and mountain! "

Sima Yi is resourceful and resourceful. He knows that usurping a man is not an easy task. Taking two steps is far safer than doing it in one step. It is also in line with the complicated situation in front of us!

But in the words, he brought up three reasons: time, location, and people to support Cao Pi's usurpation of Han as soon as possible. Knowing that this method is dangerous, why did Sima Yi speak against his will?

Because Sima Yi knew better, Cao Pi wanted him to say that, and Cao Pi wanted to be in place in one step. Only by following his intentions, could he be trusted and reused, and then grasp greater power!

Did Sima Yi guess right--accurate!

"Haha, Zhongda is resourceful and resourceful. He is truly a minister of the country. On the day when I ascend the throne and become emperor, Zhongda will be a man of stewardship. Follow around and share the glory!"

"Sir Sima Zhongda, thank Your Majesty for his grace!"

"Your Majesty, long live! Long live!"

……

"Haha--my lovers, let's live without courtesy!"

Hearing the stories of heaven, earth, and people, Cao Pi laughed heartily, beamed with joy, and even called himself "Zhen" as if he had eaten a pistachio!

Sima Yi immediately knelt down and thanked him, calling him "Your Majesty", and the rest of the important ministers followed suit and began to pay homage to the monarch. Who doesn't want to be a hero of the dragon, who doesn't want to be rich and prosperous!

Cao Pi really wanted to be the emperor as soon as possible, and he was going crazy thinking about it. Apart from the attractiveness of the throne, there was another unspeakable reason-it was really difficult to be king of Wei!

In the past, Cao Cao was the king of Wei, in the name of a great king, and he acted as an emperor. As long as he said a word, no one would dare to stab him, from the emperor of the Han Dynasty to the arrogant soldier!

Now that Cao Pi is the king of Wei, the situation is completely different. He is restrained everywhere and restricted at every step. Although he wears a crown on his head, he does not have the right to be a king, and he does not even have the dignity of a king... The source of this is Xiao Yi!

For example, when Cao Pi and Xiao Yi met, they never performed the ceremony of a monarch and his ministers, but the ceremony of a family member. The former had to take the initiative to bow to greet him and said, "Brother-in-law is well", while the latter just bowed his hands in return and directly called him "Zi Huan." ! '

The majestic king of Wei, being a younger brother to others all day long, is really uncomfortable, so Cao Pi doesn't want to see Xiao Yi. I seldom participate in the Dachaohui!

Besides, in terms of governing the country, no matter how big or small it is, as long as Xiao Yi doesn't nod his head in agreement, it will be difficult for Cao Pi to issue government orders. Even if the order is forced, local officials may not obey it!

Especially in places like Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, if there is no decree stamped with the golden seal of Da Sima, it is a piece of waste paper, and no soldier can be mobilized.

It is conceivable that the king is depressed for this sake. The reason for this situation is that Xiao Yi has made great contributions, high prestige, and strength, and Cao Pi can't suppress it at all!

The second is that between Cao Pi and Xiao Yi, there is no legitimate status as a monarch and minister! '

Cao Pi is the king of the Great Wei, concurrently the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and leads Jizhou shepherd!

Xiao Yi is the Marquis of Wuchou County, Grand Sima, concurrently Grand Sima, and the leader of Youzhou Shepherd!

The title, official position, and territory of the former are all higher than the latter, but in the final analysis, both are courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and both are receiving the salary of the Han Empire!

Cao Pi is not Xiao Yi's king, and Xiao Yi is not Cao Pi's subject. In public, the two are ministers in the same palace, and they are equal;

In this way, Cao Pi has no restriction on power, and Xiao Yi has no duty of loyalty. He just wants to help his brother-in-law as a brother-in-law for the sake of his late father-in-law.

Cao Pi has a strong desire for power and does not want to be controlled by others forever, but how to get rid of this embarrassing situation, there is only one way: usurp the Han and stand on his own, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!

At that time, I was the emperor of the Great Wei, and Xiao Yi was a courtier of the Wei Dynasty. The emperor ruled over his courtiers. It was justified and justified. No matter how strong Xiao Yi was, he had to kneel down and submit obediently.

Therefore, Cao Pi must be the emperor, not a fake emperor, but a real emperor, and then use the righteousness of the monarch and ministers to forcibly suppress this "greedy wolf", and then seize the military and political power, in order to preserve the Cao family's foundation!

As for how to sit on the throne, all the people present are familiar with history books, as long as they follow the method of the predecessors, it can be divided into three steps:

The first step is to create public opinion support, which is to make some miracles such as the phoenix coming to the instrument and the yellow dragon coming out of the water, so that everyone in the world believes that Cao Pi's act of usurping the Han and standing on his own is approved by the grandfather of heaven and countless gods. This is called divine right of kings!

All of you are smart people who know how to arrange these things to ensure that miracles appear one after another without revealing any flaws!

In the second step, all the officials collectively wrote a letter to support Cao Pi's ascension to the throne and become the emperor, and to rule the world. They also sent Wanmin Umbrellas and Wanmin Folds to show that this is what the people of the world mean!

Cao Pi pretended to decline, and the officials wrote letters twice and three times, and wrote letters, crying and crying, as if Cao Pi did not become the emperor, and people in the world would not be able to live.

When Cao Cao was in power, he almost killed all the loyalists of the Han Dynasty. In today’s court, either they support Cao Wei, or they dare not talk nonsense. There will definitely be no opposition voices.

The third step is to let the emperor personally issue an edict, admitting that he is active, willing, and very happy, and hand over the mountains and rivers passed down by his ancestors to Wei Wang Cao Pi!

Liu Xie is not a person with a strong spirit, and he doesn't have the courage to die rather than surrender. As long as he is threatening and persuading, he is not afraid that he will not submit obediently!

After these three steps, the Han Dynasty, which has been passed down for more than 400 years, is about to become the Great Wei Dynasty. When Cao Pi becomes the emperor, he must reward all the officials and amnesty the world. Very good!

But don't get too excited, before taking these three steps, there is still one big thing to do, which is to tell the great Sima about Cao Pi's plan to usurp the Han and gain his support!

Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts. In today's imperial court, no matter how big or small the matter is, without Da Sima nodding his approval, it is absolutely impossible to implement it!

To put it bluntly, if Xiao Yi didn't support usurping the Han, today's meeting would be for nothing, and everyone would be too excited. No matter how ambitious Cao Pi is, he still has to continue to be the "loyal servant" of the big man! '

There is no way, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand, and he is the No. 1 general in the world. As long as he plays the banner of "loyal to the emperor and serve the country", he can tear Cao Wei to pieces in an instant and replace him by himself!

On the contrary, if Xiao Yi nodded and agreed, with his unpredictable means, the matter of usurping the Han would be much easier, maybe without shed a drop of blood, without killing a single person, the goal can be successfully achieved!
