Great Wei Nengchen

But with so many delicate little beauties, it is a bit cruel to bury them alive. God has the virtue of being good at life, so let’s give them a way to survive. The system of burial with living people should have been abolished long ago. Leave a few more cultural relics for later generations!

"Empress, Your Royal Highness!"

Zhen Dao was also present, but there was no emotion on her pretty face. She had lived a very tiring life these years and was already tired of royal life.

Cao Rui, the eldest son of the emperor, was standing next to him. He was a 15-year-old young man with a very handsome appearance, but he lacked some masculinity. His face was covered with a thin layer of makeup, and there was a Shu brocade sachet hanging around his waist. Like something for boys!

"Brother-in-law, everything depends on you!"

"Do not worry!"

From her husband's side, Zhen Dao wants to call Xiao Yi brother-in-law, but from her mother's side, she is still brother-in-law. With such a special relationship, Zhen Dao is very assured of the safety of himself and his son. As for the emperor's throne?

If you don't like it, you don't hesitate to lose it, sooner or later you will make wedding clothes for others!

On the other side, Xiao Yi took out the edict from his bosom, and held it up high to signal everyone: "Here is the edict of the late emperor, Cao Rui, the eldest son of the emperor, will succeed him as the king. Prepare for the enthronement ceremony immediately!"

"promise!"

…………

In the fifth year of Huangchu - July 23, Cao Rui, the eldest son of the emperor, accepted the imperial edict and succeeded him as the emperor of Wei in the Taiji Hall in Luoyang. The next year was changed to: the first year of Taihe!

Cao Pi's posthumous title for his father was "Emperor Wen", temple name: "Gaozu", collectively known as "Emperor Gaozu Wen of the Great Wei Dynasty", and his biological mother Zhen was the empress dowager!

The next day, civil and military officials jointly wrote: In view of the turmoil in the world and the panic among the subjects, for the sake of the great Wei Jiangshan community, the post of prime minister should be restored, and all officials should be appointed to assist the government!

Cao Rui is ready to play!

On July 24th, Cao Rui issued an imperial decree, and named Xiao Yi the Prime Minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, in charge of all military and state affairs.

He also granted Guo Yi the title of Shang Shu Ling, and Zhuge was the servant of the Shang Shu, commanding the affairs of the inner court!

Jiang Ji was granted the title of Grand Situ, Liu Ye was named Grand Sikong, Dong Zhao was named Taichangqing, Shi Tao was appointed as a servant, Cui Jun was named Shaofu, Meng Jian was named Grand Secretary of Farming, Wu Zhi was named court lieutenant...in charge of foreign affairs !

Hao Zhao was General Fenwu, who commanded the guards of the Imperial City. Xiahou Shangjin was appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry, and was still in charge of Luoyang's garrison. Chen Qun, Xin Ping, and Xin Pi, the gentry officials, were all reassigned to idle positions. Participate in military events!

On July 25th, the imperial court officially announced to the world that Cao Xiong was a false emperor, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Sima Yi and others were rebels, deprived of all official positions and titles, and arrested the three of them, the whole family!

In the afternoon of the same day, 650 eight people from the three families were all beheaded in the downtown area, and their heads were hung on the gate of Luoyang City, as a warning to rebellious officials and thieves!

On the same day, news came that Cao Xiong and Sima Yi failed to capture Luoyang, and led their troops to flee northward, intending to cross the Yellow River to Yecheng.

Chapter 1704 To be an overseas emperor?

In the territory of Yanzhou-Chenliu County, on the wide and straight official road, a large army is slowly marching. The team stretches for tens of miles, and there are at least 20 horses. Among them, dragon and phoenix flags and yellow umbrella canopies can be seen faintly. !

It stands to reason that the emperor's personal expedition, the army should be like tigers, horses like dragons, and the momentum should go straight to Xiaohan, but the fact is just the opposite!

The soldiers were all downcast, their weapons were dragged on the ground, and the flags were crooked. They took three steps forward and two steps back.

"Your Majesty has a decree: stop advancing, set up camp in place, all the troops bury pots and make food, and continue on their way tomorrow!" At dusk, a messenger galloped past on horseback, delivering orders loudly.

"Damn it, it can be regarded as a rest. I have been marching for more than a month, and my legs are almost broken!"

"Save your energy, you have to continue marching tomorrow, and if you go north, you should cross the Yellow River!"

"Let's talk about Pingjiangdong first, then go back to Luoyang, and now I'm going to Hebei again. Is there a place to go? If I leave, I'll go straight to the Palace of the King of Hell!"

……

The army stopped advancing, and the soldiers sat slumped by the roadside, gasping for breath and complaining, the swords, guns, banners, and drums were still all over the place, and they didn't even have the strength to set up tents.

Cao's army was very disciplined. Every time he went to set up camp, he had to erect fences, dig trenches, place antlers, and then release a large number of rangers to monitor the situation within a radius of dozens of miles, even if it was not a wartime!

But now they are scattered like this, which shows how the morale of the army is. Rather than saying that morale is low, it is better to say that there is no morale!

The camp may not be set up, but the rice must be eaten. Several fire-headed soldiers buried the pots and stoves, and brought water from the river, thinking about steaming rice and baking pancakes, it is best to make some broth to drink, so that the non-stop On the march, the soldiers were physically exhausted, and they couldn't stand it without eating something good!

But after shaking the grain bags clean, there are only some broken rice, not to mention steamed rice, there is not even enough to make porridge. Brothers can’t eat enough, how can we march tomorrow?

"The army trekked all the way, and the surrounding states and counties did not supply food and grass. Aren't those officials afraid of losing their heads?"

"Don't complain, this Southern Expedition mobilized millions of people and emptied all the treasuries of the states and counties. There are still surplus food to provide. I heard that some places resisted the payment of taxes and food, and the common people raised their flags to rebel. Already!"

"Even if there is a lack of food and grass, you can't starve the big guy. Is the emperor still in the army?"

"It's true that the emperor is in the army, but don't forget, there is more than one emperor in Great Wei now!"

.........

The soldiers sighed unceasingly. In February, the emperor personally marched and mobilized a full 50 troops, saying that he wanted to flatten Jiangdong and rule the world!

It's the farming season, the brothers didn't want to fight at first, but the emperor's order was hard to break, so I had to bite the bullet and join the army. I thought that I would flatten Jiangdong in the first battle, and I would be able to make great achievements and get some loot. Bai Xing has a hard time!

Unexpectedly, the battle has been fought for several months without even crossing the Yangtze River, and many brothers' lives were lost in vain. In June, there was a sudden shocking news: "The emperor has passed away, and the brother Xiaohuai died. Become the new emperor! '

Even the most ignorant country people know that when the father kicks his legs, the house, fields, and cattle should all belong to the son. Even if there is no son, he should hire a son-in-law for the elderly. !

I heard that the emperor Lao Tzu has eight or nine sons, and it is not difficult to choose one to inherit the family property. Why did he pass the throne to his younger brother?

Then again, the emperor's family has been in chaos since ancient times. In order to compete for the family property, father and son, brothers, uncles and nephews fought in a mess, and death was a common occurrence. It is strange to live in harmony.

As soon as the new emperor came to the throne, he ordered the class teacher. At that time, the brothers were quite happy, thinking that they had saved their lives and could go home to reunite with their relatives. Before the weather cooled down, they might be able to replant some beans and buckwheat Such as miscellaneous grains, so that there will be a mouthful of porridge in winter.

Who knows that the class teacher is not going well, as if God made it difficult on purpose, when the team gets there, it will rain heavily, the road is muddy, the people and horses can hardly lift their legs, and the vehicles are all silted in the mud. If you don't come out, you don't know how much food and grass have been discarded!

But the new emperor didn’t care about this, and ordered the army to advance day and night, and the laggards were engaged in military law. There was no choice but to go desperately. Some brothers vomited blood, and some even died of exhaustion. Gotta keep marching!

But just after reaching Yingchuan County, he suddenly stopped advancing and turned around to go north, crossing the Yellow River to Yecheng. Isn't this a backtracking road?

It was only later that I found out that another emperor had been established in Luoyang City. He was the eldest son of the first emperor.

There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in a country. This is the truth that everyone understands. Now there are two emperors, one must be true and the other false. Following the real emperor is the teacher of the king, and following the false emperor will become a traitor!

The two emperors are both surnamed Cao, and they are uncles and nephews. It is hard to say who is true and who is false, and the big soldiers can't figure it out, but everyone knows one thing, the emperor of Luoyang was established by the Grand Master , and Master Grand Master is invincible in the world!

…………

"His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that all armies set up camp quickly. One of you counts as one, and all of you go over there to chop wood. The camp must be erected before dark, otherwise the military law will be followed!"

A village chief came over, cracking his cowhide whip, urging the soldiers to set up camp quickly, and looked at the pot by the way, preparing to make a bowl of thick rice porridge to drink. Now all the battalions are short of food and grass, and the officials are also on top. After eating too much, the emperor sent many envoys to collect food, but none of them came back!

"Let's go, let's all chop wood!"

The soldiers didn't want to get up, but a few veterans met their eyes, pulled the comrades up, and walked to the distant woods...

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour... An hour passed, none of the soldiers sent to chop wood came back, and the camp was naturally not erected.
