Tian Yan

Cao Zhang withdrew the soldiers he had brought back three miles to show respect, and only brought a dozen of his cronies into the city.Cao Pi led his relatives to greet him at the gate of the palace. When the brothers met, they couldn't help crying when they thought of the late emperor.

After the worship, Cao Pi called a group of ministers to discuss matters, and Cao Zhang was naturally among them.Since this discussion was the first time after the death of the late emperor, according to the usual practice, some actions were required, so everyone speculated about their own honor and disgrace, and kept calm on their faces.

Cao Pi embodies his pragmatic style, and he doesn't talk too much about prayers. When he came up, he first chased the late Cui Yan as Marquis of Yongning, and didn't mention the mourning honor.Cao Ren still led the prime minister, and the rest of the officials each advanced.A new Shangshutai was set up. The Chief Shangshuling is under the Jiuqing, in charge of the issuance and implementation of government orders and edicts, and also has the power of picketing, appointment and dismissal, and consultation, which can be described as a humble position.

This Shangshutai has a delicate status.The selection of Shangshu Ling is very important to the new emperor's reliance on the power to check and balance the Sangong and Jiuqing.

Cao Pi ordered the servant to open another edict, announcing that the candidate for the minister, Sima Yi.

The officials were shocked at first, and then most of them understood that Sima Yi was just a cover, and the new emperor put him in this position, which proved that he was still watching the movements of the forces in the court.

Sima Yi knelt down to receive the decree, his hands were trembling and he dropped the decree on the ground, all the officials couldn't help laughing.

The third thing is the mausoleum of the first emperor.

"When the late emperor was alive, my great Wei was waiting for prosperity, and I didn't take care of the affairs behind him. Now the late emperor is buried, but there must be a place of peace. The late emperor once said that he loved the words of the great ancestors of the previous dynasty very much. Vega is added to the sea. Returning to my hometown. I think it is appropriate to choose the mausoleum of the late emperor in Yanzhou, the hometown of my Cao family."

"This..." The ministers discussed in a low voice for a while, and Cheng Yu took the lead, "Your Majesty, the construction of the imperial mausoleum involves land acquisition, relocation, keeping of households, etc., which involves a lot. If it is built in Yanzhou, I am afraid that the entire city of Yanzhou will be destroyed." Most of it is empty!"

"Besides, there are many rich and wealthy families in Yanzhou City. It may be difficult to confiscate their land!" Cao Ren added.

Cao Pi stood up from his seat and took a few steps slowly: "Everyone, do you know that Kong Gui, the governor of Yanzhou, is dead?"

"Know……"

"Do you know why he died?"

"Uh..." Cheng Yu took the lead in answering, "Because he embezzled the disaster funds and exploited the people, causing the people in Yanzhou to live in poverty, and then committed suicide in fear of crime."

"Well..." Cao Pi nodded, stopped, and supported the armrest of the chair carved with golden dragon heads with one hand, "Yanzhou reports disasters every year, and these big households must also suffer. A piece of fertile land has been designated in the suburbs of Xuchang, and both sides will start construction together, so there will be no delay in resettlement. This is at the foot of the emperor, and the supplies, water transportation, and transportation are much better than those in Yanzhou. I will allocate more land and manors for them as compensation. How do you feel?"

Seeing that Cao Pi had made up his mind, the ministers all showed embarrassment, and Cao Pi also knew the hidden truth, so he deliberately asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Cao Ren's face twitched a few times: "Your Majesty, there are so many local snakes in Yanzhou, and they are unreasonable. If they are pushed into a hurry, they might beat, smash, loot and burn them, and flee to other countries. I think it's okay A group of officers and soldiers should be dispatched to sit in formation."

"Prime Minister, look at what you said. I think about them everywhere. Why do you act like I want to copy their homes?" Cao Pi felt helpless, "Sima Yi, why don't you say anything?"

Sima Yi bowed and went out: "I believe that the location of the emperor's mausoleum is related to the fate of the country. Your majesty should first ask the general master to calculate the geomantic omen before making a decision."

"Oh?" Cao Pi raised his eyebrows slightly, and the twelve crowns on his forehead shook lightly, making a slight knocking sound, "That's fine, let's put this matter aside for now."

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials said in unison.

Cao Pi pondered and smiled, and ordered Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi to come forward and confer the titles of King Wei and King Chen respectively.

So everyone was happy, the court meeting ended, and everyone dispersed.

"Do you think they will jump over the wall in a hurry and show their feet?" Cao Pi stood behind Sima Yi, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Your Majesty must be well aware of his deployment." Sima Yi turned his face to the side and gave Cao Pi a reassuring smile.

Sure enough, ten days later, there was a vision in Yanzhou.Someone saw a red dragon rise into the sky at night, its whole body seemed to be burning with evil fire, drifting away towards the west, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

As we all know, Chilong is the incarnation of the former emperor Taizu.The birth of a red dragon in the sky above Yanzhou proves that the dragon veins here are still alive.

"There are many mountains in Yanzhou, and there are dragon veins buried in the ground. I'm afraid the tomb of the late emperor will be uneasy."

Cao Pi was noncommittal: "What do you guys think?"

"I think that now that the dynasty has changed, the appearance of the rumored incarnation of the previous emperor can't prove anything! Moreover, the first emperor is the No. 1 of our Great Wei to destroy the Han. Even if there is a dragon vein, it is also the dragon vein of my Great Wei, but the minister thinks that the emperor Mausoleum selection couldn't be more suitable in Yanzhou."

Cao Pi glanced at Cheng Yu who said so: "I think what Cheng Aiqing said makes sense, what do you think?"

Seeing that the emperor had made his statement, a few scattered people expressed their agreement, while the rest either remained silent or shook their heads and sighed.

"I don't care where my father's tomb is, I just hope that my father's coffin can be buried in the ground as soon as possible."

Cao Pi was overjoyed, and walked down from his seat, took Cao Zhang's hand and shook it vigorously: "My good brother, I can rest assured with your words."

Cao Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and took Cao Pi's hand backhand.

"I am really disappointed today. There are only a few people who are clean and civilized in the court." Cao Pi threw the fishing line in a beautiful arc and landed in the well-made nest. "The only saving grace is that my third brother Although people are rough, their hearts are still good."

Sima Yi lazily leaned on the railing of the waterside pavilion. The pole in hand had not moved for a long time, and he was not in a hurry: "Your Majesty thinks His Majesty King Wei is nothing to worry about?"

"My younger brother doesn't have such a big heart." Cao Pi said, with a flick of his wrist, another big fish came up.

Sima Yi set his eyes on a pomegranate clump in the distance: "It is precisely because he has no heart that he is the best cover in the eyes of people with ulterior motives."

Cao Pi's hand shaking when he was unhooking, the fish let go, and slipped into the water without a trace.

That's right, Cao Ren... I'm afraid it's this slippery fish.

Sima Yi smiled, and handed Cao Pi a handkerchief: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, I'm just talking about a possibility."

Cao Pi sighed regretfully: "Look at you, you scared away all the fish I got...By the way, why haven't you made any movement over there? Have you eaten the dead hook?"

As he spoke, he picked up Sima Yi's fishing rod and saw that there was no bait on the hook.

"If you wish to take the bait, Your Majesty, please wait patiently for a while," Sima Yi threw out the empty hook forcefully, "This fish is about to take the bait."
