The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, Sima Yi and Zhong Yao discussed and helped the spirit back to Xudu in the starry night.

Although in a hurry, everyone knew in their hearts that things had to be done in this way.

The death of the leader of a big country is likely to cause political turmoil, no, it will definitely cause political turmoil, so it is necessary to complete the regime change as soon as possible to reduce the scale and duration of the turmoil.

But what everyone may not understand is that Sima Yi also secretly sent someone to send a letter to Xudu to inform Cao Pi.

Everyone is running for time.

Facts have proved that doing so is indeed necessary.

Cao Pi was the first to get the news of his father's death. He cried for a while, and after crying, he called a group of ministers to discuss.Seeing that the rumors had not yet arrived, Xu Xuan, the prefect of Wei County, saw that Cao Pi had already received the news, and he understood most of it in his heart. He stood up and denounced Jia Kui, saying that he was in a hurry to make public when there were doubts in the world. Get ready, are you going to shake the foundation of the country!

Jia Kui felt aggrieved: How can this shake the foundation of the country!

Xu Xuan said, if you don't believe it, just wait a few days and look again.

Xu Xuan's words came true within a few days.

Cao Zhang, Marquis of Yanling, rushed back from Chang'an with his troops. When the soldiers approached the city, the first thing he said was, "Where is the seal of the former king?"

Xu Xuan glanced at Jia Kui: What did I say?You have the ability to deal with this situation. (You can do it, you can go up.)

Jia Kui glanced back at Xu Xuan: It's not that good, I'll take care of it. (I'm up and I'm up.)

Then Jia Kui asked to go out of the city to answer Cao Zhang, and Cao Pi agreed.

When Jia Kui saw Cao Zhang, he had a stern face: "The state-owned reserve and vice-president, the former king's seal is not something a prince should ask."

Cao Zhang contemptuously glanced at this nerd, and was about to order the army to enter the city, but suddenly he saw a man riding out on a horse, standing by the side of the road, and asked in a somewhat optimistic tone: "Yanlinghou really wants to see the former king Xishou?" ?”

Cao Zhang was taken aback, this person was obviously Sima Yi!Looking up to the city again, Cao Pi was looking at him from the top of the city, and Zhong Yao was following him beside him.

The result is obvious, the presence of these two people here means that Cao Cao's coffin has arrived and everything is a foregone conclusion.Cao Zhang was a little depressed, he got off his horse and apologized, and the warrior behind him disarmed, Cao Pi went out of the city to meet his brother, and the two hugged and cried loudly.But I didn't cry for a long time, because Sima Yi gave Sima Fu a wink, and Sima Fu stood up and said: "The king has violated the world today, and the world is shaking. I will worship the heir early in the morning, so as to suppress all nations! But cry evil!"

Cao Pi immediately stopped crying.

Jia Kui felt that what Sima Fu said was very reasonable: "The words of Sima Zhong's concubine are true. It is better to ask the emperor for an order as soon as possible, so that the heir can ascend the throne, so as to secure the world."

Shangshu Chen Jiao felt that this man was really stupid. It was okay: "The king is away, and the world is in fear. The prince should mourn and ascend the throne, so as to be hopeful from far and near. And with his beloved son by his side, if there are changes between each other, the country will be in danger."

Jia Kui, you must have been hung on the wall, why so many people are against you... Or we can say: I'm sorry, you are a good person... Send a card and go home, okay?

There is no edict from the emperor, there must always be an authoritative certification to recognize Cao Pi's status. Cao Cao's "Last Order" talked about a lot of trivial matters, but he didn't mention the court at all, and naturally Cao Pi was not mentioned.Unable to settle for second best, Hua Xin and others went to ask Mrs. Bian for the queen's order.

Mrs. Bian was reluctant to give it: "The old woman has more than one son!"

Sima Yi, who was kneeling behind, smiled and stood up: "If the queen only wants a son, it's not difficult."

Mrs. Bian was a little dazed, this man's smile was calm, as if someone from back then was standing in front of her again, with a look of disdain all over his body.

"Who made such presumptuous words!"

"If you don't dare to presume, Chen Yi is ordered by the son to tell his wife this."

Neither humble nor overbearing, with threats in his soft words.Mrs. Bian remembered who that person was, and she pointed at him, "How dare you get involved in the affairs of King Wei's family! In the past, Guo Fengxiao died young because of this, and he is your example!"

"Wei King's deathbed will!" Sima Yi said here suddenly with a stern voice, "the old army sacrificed wine to Guo Jia, who was posthumously named Zhenhou. His tomb can be moved, but he will be buried in Gaoling. The rest of the Wei Queen's dead cannot be buried together!"

Mrs. Bian was dumbfounded.

"The queen just now, what did you want to say about Marquis Zhen?"

……

"If there is no doubt, please ask the queen to issue an order and ask the son to ascend the throne."

Even if Mrs. Bian disagreed, it was useless. In fact, the day after Cao Pi used her Queen's Order to become the King of Wei, Hua Xin and others asked for an imperial edict from the Emperor Han. Wait, wait, there is no shortage of all jobs.

So it's better to sell favors to this son earlier, so as to plan for the future of the other son.

Everyone knows who the other son is.

The first royal order Cao Pi issued as the king of Wei was to warn all his brothers who had been entrusted with marquises and fiefs to "join the country" and not come to Xudu unless they were ordered.Cao Zhang went back after crying with Cao Pi, but Cao Zhi was quite obedient and didn't respond.

It's okay if there is no reaction, Cao Pi is waiting for him to make a move.

So the envoy who went to pass on the king's decree came back very embarrassed. Before meeting Cao Pi, Sima Yi stopped him: "How is the Marquis of Linzi doing?"

"I'm going to pass on orders. The Marquis of Linzi is drinking with Ding Yi. He obeys the orders and is very respectful. Weep for the former king and obey the king of Wei..."

"You mean the Marquis of Linzi and Ding Yi are very respectful?"

"Uh..." the envoy immediately changed his words, "It's not respectful, the two of you were drunk and cursed King Wei..."

"Hehehehe," Sima Yi sneered, "Are you sure? Do you know the consequences of slandering Brother Wei Wang?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"I'll ask you again, who is it that disrespected the former king and the king of Wei?"

"It's... Ding Yi! It's Ding Yi! The Marquis of Linzi was drunk and unconscious. Ding Yi disrespected the former king, insulted the King of Wei, and even tricked the Marquis of Linzi into doing this rebellious thing together!"

"Very good." Sima Yi was satisfied, "Go see King Wei, remember, tell the truth."

After hearing the messenger's report, Cao Pi's second king's order was to capture the Ding family and the Yi family.As an additional product, Cao Zhi was sent to Xu Du for questioning.

"Revenge?" Sima Yi asked Cao Pi.

"..."

Cao Pi has become the core of the new national leadership, so it is natural to have a new look.

For example, those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be rewarded should be rewarded.Let's not talk about Ding Yi's unlucky reminder, Cao Pi's confidants should be promoted and get rich anyway.So Cao Pi racked his brains to figure out what official positions should be arranged for them.Jia Xu, an old fox, was promoted from Taizhong doctor to Taiwei, Hua Xin was promoted from Yushi doctor to Wei Guoxiangguo, and the former Dali Temple Wang Lang took over Hua Xin's original position as Yushi doctor.

But what should Sima Yi do?

What Cao Pi thought in his heart was that it would be most appropriate to give Queen Wei directly.

"You can give it to any official. Your Majesty can give it to you. Anyway, it won't be long before it's time to change. Don't take it too seriously during the transition period."

"Huh? Zhongda, what do you mean?"

"Didn't the king change Yuan Yankang? What does changing Yuan mean? The king knows better than his ministers."

"Then I, oh no, should I change something else?"

"To prepare for major events, of course we must change, from top to bottom." Sima Yi agreed.

"Gu intends to restore the nine-rank Zhongzheng system."

"The previous king would say that the king was unfilial."

"The former king has already gone to Gaoling. Now Gu has the final say. If Gu says so, let's do it."

The Jiupin Zhongzheng System has restored the aristocratic family's monopoly on the leadership, and the "Seeking Talents Order" that Cao Cao painstakingly worked out is completely over.

"By the way, the former king asked the king to move the capital back to Luoyang in the future." Sima Yi suddenly remembered what Cao Cao had told her.

"Gu remember, you told Gu that the previous king also said to move to Zhenhou's tomb." In fact, Cao Pi is still brooding over the fact that his father took Sima Yi away alone before his death.

"Has the king moved?"

"This is..."

Did not move.This is not to blame Cao Pi, what Cao Cao told him was to move in if he could accommodate, but not to forget it.The people Cao Pi sent to move the grave found that although Guo Jia's coffin was not particularly rotten, after opening it, there was nothing inside, not even half a bone.It's meaningless if you still move.

"Gu still wants to be the parents of the Queen Mother today, but the ministers disagree, so Gu is very angry."

"Yes, it is estimated that the Empress Dowager has already received the news."

"Zhongda, what do you think the Queen Mother will do?"

"Should come to make a deal with the king: the queen mother's parents don't need to be sealed, and the king's younger brother doesn't need to be questioned."

"No, no, how can this be done? The Queen Mother's parents must be sealed."

"Just tell me what the king wants to do."

"Zhong Da, I just want the Empress Dowager to take care of her life and stop worrying about political affairs."

In fact, Mrs. Bian never had the opportunity to participate in political affairs. Even after she became the Queen of Wei, Cao Cao never gave her the opportunity to do so. She once asked Cao Cao to make one of her younger brothers a Marquis, but Cao Cao said impatiently. : "Isn't it enough to be a lonely brother-in-law? What kind of title!"

"Queen Mother, don't try to meddle in Gu's affairs, do what Gu wants to do - Zhongda, let's have another daughter!"

To put it bluntly, Cao Pi still thinks about the messy things in the harem all day long.

Sima Yi's face suddenly changed, and he left in a huff: "Why does your lord think you are a minister!"

Sima Yi was unhappy, and Cao Pi was even more unhappy than her.

Later, Cao Pi really didn't do anything to Cao Zhi. No one is sure whether Mrs. Bian and her second son reached an agreement. The fact is that Mrs. Bian has kept silent all year round since then, and Cao Zhi was re-invited as a punishment. Together with other brothers, attend a large banquet held by the Cao clan and Xiahou clan at Tongque Terrace.

Sima Yi didn't get the news at first, but in the middle of the banquet, a servant came to inform Sima Yi.

"The King of Wei invites Sima Changshi to have a drink together."

"The late king will only pass away for a few months." This group of heartless bastards started to carnival.

"The king of Wei and his brothers divided up the things left by the former king."

Cao Cao said that if Cao Pi and others can still keep these things and worship them, then there is still salvation.

"The King of Wei ordered the concubines to sing and dance on the Tongque Stage to have fun with the clan brothers."

Is this the rhythm that even Lao Tzu's women are divided into?

"Wei Wang said: If Chang Shi doesn't come, I will say that everyone is taught by Chang Shi."

Cao Pi...you did a good job!

Sima Yi had no choice but to change into his court clothes, and ordered someone to prepare a car as soon as possible, and headed for Tongque Terrace.

"Father, I'll follow you."

Sima Yi looked back, and Sima Shi was standing behind holding a bright red cloak embroidered with white rhombus patterns.

He is a teenager, and his brows are gradually showing the old ways of adults.

"Father, I'll go too if elder brother is going!" Sima Zhao, who was not yet ten years old, ran out.

"Zhao'er, take care of your mother at home, take good care of your sister, as long as you have a teacher to go with your father." Sima Yi told Sima Zhao, and took Sima Shi into the carriage.

Sima Zhao watched unconvinced from behind as the car went further and further away.

When I came to the Tongque stage, I heard the sound of Sheng Xiao and the orchestra.

After careful identification, it turned out to be "Zijin".

"Master, wait for dad here." After explaining to Master Sima, Sima Yi hurried to Tongque Terrace.

When I came to the stage, I saw between the green veil curtains, the demon boy and the girl were holding wine and serving cups. It was indeed a lively scene.Cao Pi sits at the head of the throne, with clans on either side: Cao Zhi is the best to recognize, the chains on his wrists jingle—Cao Pi hasn't forgiven him yet; General Zhenxi Cao Zhen even brought his young son Cao Shuang.

The large open space in the center is currently being reserved for singers and dancers to perform.

Qing Qing Zi Jin

leisurely my heart

even if I don't go

Zining has no sound

I don’t know if it’s the wrong singer or the wrong song. It sounds very flattering, like a goblin taking off a piece of clothing every time she sings a word. The seduction in it is full of meaning.

The dancers waved their white or red wide sleeves, and their waists were boneless and soft. This is no longer the dance music that was performed in front of Cao Cao. The dance music arranged by Guo Jia always emphasizes the "strength of character". We all have to be like proud swans, even when we swoop, our heads must be held high, and every bone in our bodies must be stiff.

As for how the drinkers mess with the beauties, that's for sure...

Seeing this, Sima Yi was so angry that he stepped forward and disrupted the dance: "Stop! Stop!"

Some of the dancers whose formation had been destroyed screamed a few times, but they all quickly retreated to the side, giving Sima Yi the space in the middle.

"I'm having a banquet with my family today, why is Zhong Da here?" Cao Pi put down the wine bar in his hand.

"The king of Wei sent someone to inform the minister, how dare the minister not come?"

"Just to inform you, but not to let you come."

"How long did it take for the late king to pass away? The king of Wei was just having fun like this. If the minister knew about this, how dare he not come? Could it be that the king of Wei wanted to wait for Chen Shangshu to be impeached tomorrow morning? Chen Shangshu was famous for impeaching Zhenhou back then."

"Changwen will not impeach Gu. Gu is following the last wish of the late king: on the fifteenth day of every lunar month, order the kabuki to play music and offer food to the Tongque Stage."

"The last wish of the former king did not say that the king should also be on the Bronze Sparrow Terrace!"

"I didn't say no."

Sima Yi looked around: "Then what's the matter with this song and dance? The songs and dances on the Tongque Stage have certain rules, but there has never been "Zijin"!"

"Didn't you say that, Zhongda? The former king watched this dance on his deathbed, and said that he would perform on the Tongque Stage in the future? So I left all these singers and dancers behind for rehearsal, is there anything wrong?"

yeah, what's wrong?Sima Yi knew in his heart that Cao Pi did this on purpose.

"Your Majesty drank too much today." Sima Yi decided to leave, not to watch these sad scenes anymore, "Your Majesty, leave."

"slow!"

Sima Yi stopped in his tracks: "What orders does your lord have?"

"Zhongda, you have interfered with the singing and dancing, and you can't continue the performance. The last king's will is still there, what do you think should be done?"

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"Since Sima Changshi broke the etiquette, please ask Sima Changshi to finish the dance for these dancers. What does King Wei think?" It was Cao Zhang who spoke.

Sima Yi glanced at Cao Zhang, then at Cao Pi.

Cao Pi nodded unexpectedly: "Okay, there is a way, then Zhongda, you can dance one."

Someone in the seat started whispering.

Sima Yi found it inconceivable: "What do you want to dance? What does the king want you to dance to? "Zijin"?"

"That's right, didn't you arrange "Zijin" for the late king? You must be familiar with it, and dancing one is not difficult for you." Cao Pi seemed to take it for granted.

The discussion below was louder.

"Hehehehehahahahaha!" Sima Yi's sudden laugh startled most people.

Because that laughter sounded cold.

"I would like to make amends with Yiwu." Sima Yi bowed and saluted, then suddenly reached out and grabbed a dancer in red next to him: "Take off!"

"Ah~!" The dancer was so frightened that her face paled, and the screams were no longer human.

"What are you doing in a daze! Take off your clothes! Take off now!"

Before the dance girl realized what was going on, Sima Yi stripped off the dance clothes on her body.

Holding a set of bright red clothes, completely ignoring the sobbing of the dancer next to him, Sima Yi bowed again and said goodbye: "Rong Chen changes clothes."

As Sima Yi withdrew, everyone on the Tongque Stage temporarily resumed eating and drinking carelessly.

But everyone glanced at the main entrance of the main hall from time to time.

They don't have to wait too long.

The first faint, barely audible chime came.Someone turned to look over.

Rumble, ring, ring.

Crunchy, but crisp ringtones.

The chicken leg in someone's hand fell to the ground.

Cao Zhi froze in place.

Cao Shuang was dumbfounded.

"The song and dance in "Zijin" was created by the old army's sacrifice to wine, Zhenhou Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. The songs are clear and clear, and the dances are vigorous. Depending on the time and situation, one person dances, two people dance against each other, and groups of people dance, or just sing Don't dance, sing and dance, sing and dance."

This woman combed her hair in a high bun, with slender eyebrows and long eyes, a slightly aquiline nose, and thin lips. She was very beautiful, but if she didn't mention it in advance, no one would have thought that she was the prime minister, Shi Sima Yi.Not to mention, she also wore golden bells on her wrists and ankles, which are only used by dancers. Between her gestures, the golden bells made a sound, crisp and crisp.

"Two people dance against each other, one for writing and the other for martial arts. The writer bends his waist and folds his sleeves, tracing his mind with a stretched posture; the warrior swings his green blade and controls his body posture with twists and turns. Both of them do their best."

Sima Yi stood still: "What you have just seen is a group dance, which is still in the category of literary dance. Yi wants to do martial arts, but I am afraid that the song will not be able to catch up."

"Chang Shi doesn't have to worry, I can do this." Suddenly someone outside the hall said, and then someone sang, Sima Yi was a little puzzled at first, recognized a few words, and then nodded: "Sure enough, it is a personal inheritance."

"In that case—" Sima Yi glanced at Cao Zhen and Cao Shuang next to him, and suddenly pulled out Cao Zhen's saber that was on the table by surprise, "Please borrow General Zidan's saber!"

Qing Qing Zi Jin

leisurely my heart

even if I don't go

Zining has no sound

The sword is drawn, the sword is withdrawn, the sword light is slashed, the figure turns, the dance is soft, but most of the dances that add weapons emphasize softness and strength, the movements must be released, and even more restrained. Seemingly different, whenever the audience thought that the weapon was about to hurt the dancer, and their faces turned pale and their hearts beat with fright, the next movement gently resolved the crisis.Dancers should look like they have no bones, but they can grow a bone at any time and anywhere. The body is distorted, beautiful, and painful, but they can't tell the pain to the audience. smiling.

Cao Zhi watched intently, this dance made him puzzled: many flipping movements, the body sometimes climbed up and sometimes fell down, as if something was shouting, looking for a way out in pain, and getting rid of the shackles.Cao Zhi thought about what this thing was, but the name seemed to come to his lips but he couldn't say it!

"I don't see you in a day, it's like three months!" The last line of the song suddenly changed its key, the bass turned into a high pitch, and the dance suddenly had an inexplicable climax, and everyone watching the dance stayed on the spot. Things changed too much Suddenly, people are at a loss.

The sword in Sima Yi's hand pointed directly at Cao Pi's eyebrows, the distance was less than an inch.

"King Wei!"

Cao Pi stared at Sima Yi, and could feel the evil spirit of resentment through a sword.

"Who do you think I am!"

"father!"

Suddenly someone shouted at the door.

Sima Yi felt as if a gust of wind had blown by, and his mind instantly became clear.

Cao Pi stretched out his hand and brushed aside the sword in front of him: "I always thought you were someone, but you never thought so yourself."

Sima Yi withdrew the sword in his hand and fell to the ground.

"Father." Master Sima walked to Sima Yi with a calm expression while everyone was watching. The jade pendant bestowed by Cao Cao on his waist was still clanking. He shook off the cloak in his hand and wrapped it around Sima Yi, " Be careful not to catch cold, or Mother will worry again."

"Master, let's go." Sima Yi held his son's hand and walked slowly outside the hall.

Cao Zhi couldn't help asking from behind: "Zhongda, what's the name of this dance?"

When Sima Yi turned his head, Cao Zhi could only see half of his face covered by the cloak, but the pair of long and narrow eyes were still graceful: ""You Long"!"

Someone present came to their senses: "Wei Wang! Sima Yi intends to assassinate Wei Wang, this is unforgivable!"

"Zhong Da is drunk, Gu is also drunk, what happened, Gu can't remember, and won't pursue it." Cao Pi signaled Meiji beside him to keep drinking.

"Sima Yi didn't drink, he wasn't drunk at all!"

"Gu said she was drunk, she was drunk! Keep drinking!" Cao Pi yelled, and no one spoke anymore.

Sima Yi almost staggered out of the Tongque Terrace. As soon as she came out, the wind on the high platform almost choked her speechless.

"Father!" Master Sima supported Sima Yi with all his strength.

"Is that all you can do?" A man outside the hall leaned against a pillar and said calmly.

Sima Yi looked at the big bow made of snow-white ribbon behind this person: "It really is you, you are back."

"The king of Wei intends to return the capital to Luoyang. I have been living in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. It is very convenient for me to inquire about something."

"Don't learn from Senior Sister Guo, you can't learn it."

"Mr.'s romantic attitude is probably unmatched by anyone in this world, let alone me." Nu Xin stood up and looked at Sima Yi, "Actually, I came back this time for another matter."

"I know, it's about Qingzhou soldiers."

"Please tell the king of Wei, I will take care of this matter. My husband is gone, and the former king has passed away. These soldiers do not need to stay in the world. If someone asks about it in the future, they will say that they are the former king's personal soldiers. The former king will go Then, let them disperse on their own.”

"I won't say it, you can find someone else, you have seen what happened today."

"You'll tell." Nu Xin didn't show any hesitation, "You can't go wrong with the person you like."

After Nu Xin finished speaking, she was about to get off the high platform.

"Where are you going? Do you know what happened in Senior Sister Guo's tomb?"

"It's as I expected. 'Shangqiongbi falls to Huangquan, and the two places are gone'. My business is done, and it's my turn to do my own business."

"Actually, you didn't finish that song!"

"I know! I did it on purpose."

Nu Xin's voice and figure gradually disappeared.

The author has something to say:

Uh, maybe King Wei is not allowed to bring sharp swords, but his family members should not be a big problem, and it is okay to give special permission to bring swords or something. Besides, a banquet is not considered a formal occasion for meeting, so it is possible that people don't pay attention to it.

Damn, the official positions of this group of people are too messy, everyone can just make do with it, just treat it as the author and talk nonsense.

One of the most important reasons why Sima Yi has always refused to become Cao Pi's harem is that he has no status.

The identity of a man is relatively free, and he can do many things he wants to do.

After Cao Cao died, Cao Pi felt that he could do whatever he wanted without having to live under the shadow of his father, but Sima Yi still refused him.He also has a temper, and he uses this method to humiliate the other party.

The status of singers and dancers is worse than that of concubines.

But the consequence of doing so is that Sima Yi created a precedent for the "fake mother" in the later Jin Dynasty, and developed another Wangnian CP by the way.

Uh, the author is not talking about Sima x Sima cp, although the child Sima Shi did make the author play with a little bit of Electra, but this is not cp, well, it’s still the same sentence, readers are willing to treat it as a cp .

Zihuan, you made the author write too sadly, so as compensation, this chapter will give you a more substantial progress in Piyun CP.

ps: There is a reason why Senior Sister Guo’s tomb is not empty… There will be an explanation in the future.
