Great Wei Nengchen

"Little brother, come here!"

"Your Majesty is here, what are your orders?"

Hearing the call, Cao Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed. He exchanged a glance with Sima Yi, and walked to the side of the soft couch, trembling with excitement. Did his brother summon him on his deathbed, did he intend to pass on the throne?

Although I have the intention of seizing the throne, after all, the seized throne is not as comfortable as the passed one, and it is more justifiable!

However, with my elder brother's scheming, even if I pass the throne to myself, I am afraid that I will leave behind. Nothing to pay back!

In this way, at most, I am an excessive king, and I will return the throne sooner or later, and my sons will not be destined for the throne. Isn't this depressing, but if I don't agree, I'm afraid my elder brother will not pass on the throne ?

Why don't you agree first, and then solve those nine little troubles after you are firmly seated on the throne, so that the great Wei Empire will be passed on to your descendants forever.

Cao Xiong thought that his calculations were flawless, but he didn't know that his changes in expression and various small movements were all clearly seen by Cao Pi. A dying person has a clear mind!

"Ahem, after Wei and Wu's strike, they should send important officials to discuss the contract face to face, and preside over the ceremony of forming an alliance and repairing it. You are my brother, and your status is extremely honorable. Let you take charge of this matter!"

"My brother... obey the order!

It turned out that he was not passed on to himself, but sent himself to negotiate peace with Wu Guo. Cao Xiong couldn't help being disappointed, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only mutter in his heart, did he guess wrong?

In fact, Cao Xiong's guess was right, but Cao Pi had the idea of ​​"brothers end up with younger brothers, and uncles and nephews succeed each other". This not only ensures the stability of the country, but also allows the throne to return to his descendants.

Seeing Cao Xiong and Sima Yi's small actions, and the murderous intent hidden in their eyes, Cao Pi quickly changed his mind, and it is absolutely impossible for brothers to die:

For one thing, this younger brother's city is too deep, and he really made him the emperor of Wei, let alone returning the throne in the future, I am afraid that his nine sons will not end well!

Moreover, this kind of brother-to-brother relationship can easily lead to civil strife in the country. In history, the rebellion of the ninth generation of Yin and Shang and the fifth generation of Song Dynasty are examples. Uncles, nephews, and brothers killed each other in order to seize the throne. Not left!

Second, in order to gain the support of the gentry, I implemented the Nine-Rank Official Personnel Law, so that I lost the hope of the people all over the world, and the foundation of the Cao Wei Empire was unstable!

And Cao Xiong is closer to the gentry, if he becomes the emperor, I am afraid that he will make mistakes again and again, and finally ruin Cao Wei Jiangshan!

Considering the above two points, it is impossible for brothers to end up with younger brothers, so the father dies and the son succeeds, but the sons are too young to govern the country. It is necessary to arrange several auxiliary ministers. Who is the suitable candidate?

"Mr. Taichang, draw up another will for me!"

"Ah, Your Majesty?"

"Quickly draft an edict, I'm afraid I'm running out of time!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

……

"In the old days, the Han Dynasty fell, and the world was in chaos. There were princes attacking each other inside, and barbarians invaded and disturbed the land outside. As a result, the farmland was completely destroyed, ten rooms and nine empty houses, and the people in the world suffered unspeakably!"

My Taizu, Emperor Wu, ruled the feudal lords in the inner world, ruled the barbarians in the outside world, inherited the destiny from the top, and caressed the people from the bottom. His merits and virtues are not inferior to that of King Wen of Zhou. There is more than enough!

Since I proclaimed myself emperor, I have worked hard to govern and worked day and night in order to honor the virtues of the great ancestor and bring about the unification of China as soon as possible. But the fate is over, what's the use of regret?

Now there is Cao Rui, the eldest son of the emperor, who is benevolent, filial, and wise. I should obey the precepts of the ancestors and follow the sentiments of the people. I should make him the crown prince and take the right place in the East Palace.

The crown prince is still too young to govern the country, especially the Taishi Xiao Yi, Da Situ Wang Lang, Da Sikong Chen Qun, Taichang Qing Jiang Ji, Guang Luxun Liu Ye, Wei Wei Huaxin, Hussars General Cao Zhen, An The Northern General Xia Houshang and eight people are ministers of Gu Ming, who manage the common affairs and manage the army and supervise the country!

The above-mentioned ministers of Gu Ming, as well as the Chinese and military officials of the court, are all under the control of the Grand Master, and they are given the privilege of being dedicated to conquest, beheading first and then playing. '

…………

After the edict was written, Cao Pi looked it over and saw that there was no problem, so he took out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo from under his pillow and stamped it on it himself, and the dust has settled!

If the youngest son is to be enthroned, Xiao Yi must be invited to assist the government, so as to deter the gentry internally, resist Wu Shu externally, and ensure the stability of the Great Wei!

However, if Xiao Yi is to assist the government, there is also the danger of usurping the country, so seven assistant ministers are arranged to restrict Xiao Yi's power, so as to ensure that his son can sit firmly in the dragon chair!

In fact, Cao Pi knew in his heart that those seven people together were not Xiao Yi's opponent. If the Xiao family seized the country, no one would be able to stop him, but after thinking about it, this arrangement is the best!

It is naturally best to be able to defend the Great Wei Dynasty. Take a step back and say that if you can't, in terms of Xiao Yi's character, he will not hurt his nine sons, and will make them prosperous and rich for a lifetime. That Shanyang Duke is The best example, this is a hundred times better than ruining the lives of your sons!

After dealing with the two major events of Yihe and Tuogu in a row, Cao Pi's strength was also exhausted, and his body fell on the couch, his eyesight was blurred, his breathing was difficult, and he fell into a dying state soon...

"Father, I'm sorry, my son can't keep the country you left behind!"

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, Zihuan knew he was wrong, the throne is really difficult!"

……

In the autumn of the fifth year of Huangchu, on June 26, Cao Pi, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, died in Guanying City, the palace, at the age of 33!

Chapter 1696 The emperor became a salted fish!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty's Dragon Yu has returned to heaven... Woohoo!"

"Shut up everyone, don't speak out, so as not to disturb the morale of the army!"

The defeat of the Southern Expedition, heavy losses, the death of the emperor, and the loss of the country, this is tantamount to a strong earthquake for the already unstable Great Wei Empire. If you do not deal with it carefully, there may be a The house is in danger of collapsing!

Now, only Cao Xiong, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Jiang Ji, Sima Yi, and Xia Houcheng knew about the death of the emperor. They forcibly held back their crying and discussed countermeasures in a low voice, and quickly reached an agreement:

"Secret not to mourn, withdraw troops as soon as possible, return to Luoyang, promulgate the will, embrace the crown prince Cao Rui as emperor, and invite the grand master to assist the government!" '

There is a countermeasure, but it is very difficult to implement. It is now late June, and the Jianghuai area is hot and humid. Cao Pi's body is placed in the palace, and it will rot in only three or two days. Once the stench spreads, The news of the emperor's death may not be concealed.

What's more, letting the emperor's body rot is a crime of disrespect. After returning to Luoyang City, how to explain to the queen mother, empress and new king?

Therefore, the most urgent task is to embalm the corpse, so as to conceal the death of the emperor!

The Qin and Han dynasties respected the style of thick burial, believing that as long as the body does not rot, the deceased can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of his lifetime in another world, so it has been passed down for hundreds of years, forming a mature anti-corrosion technology:

First bathe the body with fragrant soup, wipe it repeatedly with strong wine, and then seal the nine orifices of the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, anus, and yin with jade to prevent the essence from leaking out, then wrap it with fine linen cloth and put it on Jade clothes with golden thread... Finally, they were buried in multi-layered coffins and buried underground with Feng Shui treasures!

The corpse treated in this way can be immortal for thousands of years, and its appearance is lifelike!

The problem is, things like bathing in fragrant soup and sealing the nine orifices with jade require special craftsmen and materials. There is no preparation in advance in the palace, and there is no jade clothes with golden strands. How should this be done?

What's more, if the body is buried with great fanfare, the news of the emperor's death will definitely be leaked. At that time, the hearts of the people will be scattered and the people will collapse.

"The news of the death must be concealed, and His Majesty's remains must be preserved. Do you have a plan to get the best of both worlds?"

"Being a low official is not a talent, but there is a way that is not a solution!"

"Zhong Da said quickly, what can be done?"

"abalone!"

"Ah, I'm afraid this plan is not right?"
