Great Wei Nengchen

Therefore, Jiang Ji decided to write a long letter to describe the emperor's death and the content of the will in detail, and then sent someone to send it to Xiao Yi for his reference and decision-making!

For one thing, the two have a very good personal relationship, and they have a lot in common in governing the country, and Jiang Ji is in favor of the imperial examination system!

Second, Jiang Ji believes that in the next 20 years, the situation in the world will be in the hands of Xiao Yi, and he should stand in line ahead of time!

"Haha, Mr. Tai Changqing works hard day and night, he really deserves to be a pillar of the country!"

"Sima Zhongda!"

"No, it's the next official, and I'm bothering you!"

The letter had just been written, before it could be sealed, the door of the residence was kicked open, and a figure rushed in, it was Sima Yi.

Jiang Ji couldn't help but change his face. He and Sima Yi were ministers in the same palace, but they didn't have much contact with each other in private. The other party came late at night with a sword, and there was a team of soldiers behind him. Maybe it was a bad person?

After Sima Yi came in, he glanced back and forth, and soon found the letter on the case, he couldn't help but clenched the sword around his waist, and the murderous aura in the depths of his eyes became even stronger!

"Zhong Da came to visit late at night, what can I learn?"

"I don't dare to be a teacher, but there is an important matter, I want to discuss it with Lord Taichangqing!"

"Oh, what a big deal?"

"Hehe, Tai Changqing is familiar with the classics and history, what do you think about the Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen of the Han family?"

Emperor Xiaohui refers to Liu Ying, the second emperor of the former Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xiaowen refers to Liu Heng, the third emperor of the former Han Dynasty, and these two are half brothers!

It turned out that after Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, died, he was passed on to Liu Ying, the eldest son, but the real power was in the hands of the queen mother Lu Zhi.

After Empress Lu died of illness, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other veterans staged a coup, killing more than [-] members of the entire Lu family, and completely eliminated this foreign relative force!

However, the elders and ministers believed that the sons of Emperor Xiaohui were too young to be able to govern, and they could not bring order out of chaos, so they sent people to welcome Liu Heng, the acting king, into the court, and succeeded him as emperor in the way that brothers will end up with brothers!

Now that Cao Pi has just passed away, his sons are also young, and the political situation is equally chaotic, and Sima Yi's mention of the history of Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen obviously has something to say!

"Zhongda doesn't need to go around in circles anymore, just speak up if you have anything to say!"

Jiang Ji's face was gloomy. He obviously guessed a little bit, but he couldn't believe it. Someone dared to plot a coup before the bones of Emperor Daxing were cold?

"In this way, the lower official said bluntly, the Southern Expedition failed, the army was lost, the political situation was unstable, and the people were panicked. My Great Wei is like a small boat, sailing in the turbulent waves, and may be overthrown at any time!

On his deathbed, Emperor Daxing left a will to pass on to Cao Rui, the eldest son of the emperor. However, the eldest son of the emperor is only 15 years old, with no prestige and no experience. How can he bear the burden of Jiangshan Sheji?

Therefore, the lower officials discussed with Da Situ, Wei Wei, General Polu, etc., and wanted to ask Xiao Huai Wang to inherit the great rule in the way of brothers and brothers, to govern the world in China, and to rejuvenate the country and create a prosperous world again!

After a hundred years of King Xiaohuai, return the throne to the son of Emperor Daxing, so as to protect the land of Wei and not violate the entrustment of Emperor Daxing at the end of his life, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? "

While talking, Sima Yi snatched the letter from the case, flipped through a few pages, burned it to ashes with the lamp next to him, and stared at Jiang Ji murderously!

In political struggle, life and death cannot be tolerated, but between life and death, what choice does Jiang Ji make?

"Alas, the late Emperor Dragon Yu passed away, and the old minister was heartbroken. He was really unable to participate in the government. He was about to retire and return to his hometown. Under Lin Quan, he had this remnant life. As for the affairs of the country and the country, it is fine for you adults to decide!"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ji sighed and shook his head, got up and took out a nanmu box from the cabinet, which contained the will, and put it on the table with reluctance!

Obviously, Jiang Ji abides by his official duties and does not want to participate in this coup, but he is unable to resist, and he does not want to be a ghost who died in vain, so he has no choice but to ignore it and be alone.

"Haha, those who know the current affairs are heroes, Mr. Tai Changqing is so wise, he will definitely be able to enjoy the rest of his life in peace, but there are a lot of things recently, I hope you stay in the residence, don't walk around casually, and leave!"

Sima Yi checked carefully to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the edict, so he nodded in satisfaction, gave a warning, and left eight soldiers to guard the gate, and then went back in peace.

…………

"Thank God, Zhong Da is finally back. What's Jiang Ji's attitude? Has he ever got the will?"

In the dormitory of the palace, Cao Xiong was pacing back and forth with an anxious expression on his face. When he saw Sima Yi appearing, he rushed to meet him!

Hua Xin, Wang Lang, and Xia Houcheng were also present. As expected, the three of them participated in the coup d'état with a little inducement.

"Everyone, please don't worry, Jiang Ji doesn't want to conspire with us, but he doesn't have the guts to object, so he obediently handed over his will!"

Sima Yi took out the edict, and prepared to destroy it after everyone examined it. He wrote a new edict, making Cao Xiong the heir to the throne!

Seeing that the edict was indeed obtained, Cao Xiong, Hua Xin, and Xia Houcheng all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the coup d'état was a sure thing, but Wang Lang's expression changed, as if he had discovered a major omission!

"Zhongda, did you only get back one will?"

"What do you mean by Da Situ's words?"

"There are two copies of the will, the original and the second. Why didn't you get them all back?"

"what?"

According to the system of the Han family: the emperor's edict is in duplicate, the original is promulgated, and the copy is kept in the palace. If there is no copy, even if the original is written according to the emperor's will, it will be regarded as a "false edict" and will not be recognized by the court and subjects !

For example, in the former Han Dynasty, Wei Qihou-Dou Ying asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to summon him again in the name of having received the edict of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty that "things are inconvenient, and it is cheap to talk about it"!

But Shangshu soon discovered that there was no copy of Dou Ying's edict in the palace, so he impeached Dou Ying for the crime of "forging the edict". At the beginning of the fourth year of Yuanguang, Dou Ying was beheaded for public display!

Wei Chenghan system, the emperor's edict is also in duplicate, so after Jiang Ji returned to his residence, he immediately copied a copy, and found Wang Lang to stamp the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and prepared to store it in the palace in the future. This was done extremely secretly, so Outsiders don't know!

When Sima Yi got back the edict, it was a copied copy, and the ink on it was still dry, so the original edict should still be in Jiang Ji's hands, and he hadn't obediently handed it over!

"Bold man, An dares to bully me, let's go!"

Sima Yi had been deceiving others all his life, and when he didn't think he would be deceived, his pale face turned bitter, and he immediately led people to Jiang Ji's residence to grab the original will and kill the liar by the way!

But when I arrived at the residence, I saw that the eight soldiers were still standing at the door, but Jiang Ji was nowhere to be seen. Of course, I couldn't find the will either!

"Where did Lord Taichangqing go?"

"Going out to inspect!"

"Why not stop it?"

"Master Taichangqing is holding the imperial decree, how dare your subordinates stop it!"

"Damn it, hurry up!"

The truth of the matter became clear. When Jiang Ji learned that Sima Yi and others were going to launch a coup d'etat, he first pretended to be cowardly and handed over the copy of the will to protect himself, and then fled with the original copy of the will, either to Luoyang or to Chang'an !

Once the original copy of the will is made public, or if it falls into Xiao Yi's hands, the coup d'état will probably be aborted, and the coup d'état's main envoys and participants will all die without a burial!

Sima Yi hurried back and asked Xia Houcheng to mobilize the tiger and leopard cavalry to look for Jiang Ji's whereabouts everywhere, and he must recover the original edict, as for the person, life or death does not matter!

"Report—I don't see Mr. Tai Changqing in the palace!"

"Report--I don't see Mr. Tai Changqing in the camp!"
