Chapter 508 Drafting a posthumous edict, Sun Quan disdains it
Outside the dim hall, King Cao Rui of Qi was talking with several imperial doctors.
As the conversation continued, Cao Rui's face became increasingly worried.
"Gubufu, no matter what, you must cure Bidong's body!"
Cao Rui didn't say clearly what would happen if the treatment failed, but from his livid face and serious tone, it was easy to see what he didn't express clearly.
If they can't be cured, they will all be buried with Bidong.
Several imperial doctors around him were trembling with fear from the murderous aura erupting from Cao Rui's body.
It was hard for them to imagine that a young man who had not yet reached his prime could burst out with such cold murderous intent.
But several red-haired and bright-headed imperial doctors did not look down upon Cao Rui just because he was young.
That's not only because of Cao Rui's identity, but also because in the past year, Cao Pi has been building momentum for Cao Rui, and has intentionally ordered people to publicize what Cao Cao said when he was still alive:
"He is based on your third generation."
Cao Cao's status was sacred in Cao Wei. The words he said not only showed that he valued Cao Rui, but also gave Cao Rui a lot of prestige among the government and the public with the help of those words.
Several imperial doctors had served Cao's children during Cao Cao's time. Of course they remembered how ruthless Cao Cao was when he was still alive.
But now, under the influence of the dim light, the imperial doctors seemed to see some of Cao Cao's Yongxuan from Cao Rui's body.
Just when several imperial doctors were frightened by Cao Rui's royal order, a foreign attendant rushed to Cao Rui in a panic and reported to him softly:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake!"
After hearing those words, Cao Rui immediately walked towards the outer hall. Before leaving, he glanced at several imperial doctors with sharp eyes.
Through the conversation with the imperial doctor, he knew how serious Cao Pi's illness was, so he could rescue Cao Pi from hell. Cao Rui, who had no medical skills, could use that method.
Because of the anxiety in his heart, Cao Rui started to jog on the way to the outer hall.
Fortunately, in the past year, Cao Pi has constantly recruited Cao Rui to teach in his dormitory, making Cao Rui very familiar with the structure of Cao Pi's dormitory. Therefore, even if the candlelight outside the hall was dim, Cao Rui's footsteps did not slow down for a moment.
After jogging all the way, Cao Rui soon came to the outer hall and saw Cao Pi lying on the couch.
Seeing that Cao Pi's face was as golden as paper, and his mother Zhen was walking beside the couch, hiding her face and sobbing, Cao Rui's heart began to feel sad.
Due to the existence of Mi Yang, Cao Rui in the Ming Dynasty was not treated coldly by Cao Pi, and his mother did not die in the cruel palace fight. Therefore, the relationship between Cao Rui and Cao Pi in the Ming Dynasty was not very good.
Cao Rui, whose eyes were red, rushed to Cao Pi's bed. He was thinking about what to say, but he didn't shut up, so he choked with sobs and bowed to Cao Pi who was lying on the bed:
"Father!"
Cao Pi, who heard Cao Rui's voice, slowly opened his eyes, and then saw Cao Rui, who was covered in sweat and his eyes were red.
It can be seen from Cao Rui's performance how anxious and sad he was at that moment.
After realizing Cao Rui's affection, Cao Pi's red face showed a bit of a smile.
Although he is not a supreme emperor, he is also not a father.
When he was seriously ill, it was undoubtedly a great relief for him to see that his eldest son, whom he had devotedly cultivated, missed him so much.
Cao Pi opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Back in the palace in Yecheng, could I kneel in front of the late emperor's bed like me?
But at the bright moon, I finally realized what the late emperor had in mind."
There was melancholy and nostalgia in Cao Pi's tone.
Cao Pi's words made Cao Rui's tears flow slowly from his eyes no longer controllable.
Cao Rui knew that the year Cao Pi was talking about was referring to the year when his eldest father died of illness.
Obviously, even if Cao Rui deliberately concealed Cao Pi's true physical condition, how could Cao Pi not understand that he was wrong about his own physical condition?
Seeing Cao Rui's face covered with tears, Cao Pi, as a father, wanted to stretch out his leg to wipe the tears from Cao Rui's face.
Can he be like Cao Cao back then? Even that simple move was very difficult for Cao Pi to do at that moment.
Cao Pi, who had a deeper understanding of his physical condition, also stopped wanting to express his cruel thoughts, and his voice became stern:
"As a man of the latter type, it is your honor to shoulder the responsibility and achieve great achievements. Tomorrow there will be a storm in the East and a powerful enemy will come. Why should the King of Qi kneel down in mourning and act like a common man?"
Cao Pi's reprimand made Cao Rui feel something. He even wiped the tears on his face, and then managed to look at Cao Pi with a calm expression.
Seeing Cao Rui's performance, Cao Pi felt more and more relieved, but as he said, when a powerful enemy was about to come, neither father nor son should "have the same feelings as common men."
After his thoughts became clearer, Cao Pi first asked Cao Rui: "After Mingyue and I fainted, the ministers must be in confusion. How should I deal with it?"
Although Cao Rui was not clearly established as the crown prince in the East, from the moment Cao Rui was named King of Qi, all the important officials in the court knew Cao Pi's intentions.
In that case, Cao Pi knew that after Cao Pi passed out, Cao Rui, who was actually a prince, would definitely be regarded as the temporary person in charge by the ministers.
I just don’t know if Cao Rui’s handling was appropriate.
Facing Cao Pi's inquiry, Cao Rui immediately replied: "My son immediately ordered the imperial army to block the eight gates of the imperial city, and ordered each minister to be taken to different side halls to rest for a while.
We must prevent the news of my father's fainting from being exposed, and prevent the ministers from having an opportunity to collude with each other."
After hearing Cao Rui's answer, the experienced Cao Pi discovered a shortcoming in Cao Rui's handling measures.
"All the ministers are from famous families, and most of the palace officials are selected from famous families.
If I just arrange the ministers separately without controlling the palace officials, then someone will still leak the news."
When he said that, Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh.
When he was in a coma, Cao Rui was young but could remain calm immediately and thought of blocking the news. This is what makes Cao Rui extraordinary.
But it is said that Cao Rui was inexperienced and left that omission.
Unexpectedly, when Cao Pi sighed, Cao Rui missed Cao Pi and bowed to him: "My son, I have something to ask of my father."
Seeing Cao Rui suddenly say that, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel a little confused. He blurted out and asked: "What's the matter?"
"I expected that the palace ministers would secretly flirt with some ministers due to their personal interests, so I deliberately made some ministers loose their supervision, so that some ministers would have the opportunity to contact those ministers.
After this incident happened, the imperial guards arranged by Erchen to appear in the dark appeared in time and captured those ministers and ministers who dared to disobey Erchen's orders.
The official who committed the crime was sentenced to death by his ministers, and the minister who committed the crime was stripped of his clothes and crowned by his ministers and imprisoned.
Later, when other ministers learned about this matter, the palace was in a state of silence, and no one dared to violate it.
But my son, who has no official position, uses punishments to punish officials and ministers. This is a crime of transgression. I hope that my father will forgive me."
Cao Rui's clear and powerful voice fell in Cao Pi's ears, causing a look of surprise on Cao Pi's face.
It turns out that Cao Rui did not make any omissions due to lack of experience. On the contrary, he anticipated the incident in advance and used it to establish his authority extremely intelligently.
That.
Cao Pi looked at Cao Rui in front of him, recalling Cao Cao's words in his mind: "He is based on your third generation."
Is Cao Rui Mingyue's Machiavellian skills similar to those of the late emperor?
Cao Pi couldn't help but think of his own behavior when the late emperor passed away.
In that month, with the help of Jia Kui, Cao Xiu, and other important ministers, he initially took control of the overall situation.
However, Mingyue Cao Rui failed to initially stabilize the overall situation through his own legs and wrists. There is no comparison between the two.
Outside the dormitory, there was a sudden silence because of Cao Rui's "pleasure", but not long after, a burst of laughter mixed with coughing sounded on Cao Pi's couch.
Please forgive me?
What is Cao Rui's crime?
I won’t say whether Cao Rui, who is actually the prince, has such power. Let’s just say that when the crisis in Dangdong is about to run out, if the heir can show such excellent legs and arms, Cao Pi will feel it. Only if you are happy.
After letting out a burst of happy laughter, Cao Pi seemed to have made a certain decision in his heart.
"There is no need to stay with me anymore, just do your thing!
Just let your legs go and do it!”
As Cao Pi looked at him expectantly, Cao Rui left Cao Pi's bed with a look of reluctance.
After Cao Rui left, Cao Pi endured the pain in his body and asked Zhen to help him up from the couch.
Then he mistakenly said to Zhen, "Bring me the empty red edict and ask for a plan."
Seeing that Cao Pi was feeling unwell and was asking for a move, Zhen couldn't help but speak out and call for help.
But facing Zhen's group of guards, Cao Pi said firmly:
"I, my time is running out."
At that moment, Cao Pi was much more calm than before.
Everyone is destined to die, but as a king and a father, please arrange important matters before death.
Just like his father-in-law back then.
Cao Pi's last words made Mrs. Zhen burst into tears, but she quickly got an empty red edict for Cao Pi.
Looking at the empty red edict in front of him, Cao Pi thought to himself:
In terms of strategy and tactics, he did not deny Mi Yang's wrong move, but to conquer Tiandong, could it be achieved by relying on soldiers and horses alone?
With the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system in place, the Wei Dynasty will not be destroyed!
Jiangdong, Jianye.
Not long ago, Sun Huan and Yu Fan, who were escorting the Han army, successfully returned to Jianye City.
Sun Huan and Yu Fan suddenly returned after being away for more than a year. After their return, many people in Jianye City secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside Jianye City, many important officials knew the reason why Sun Huan and Yu Fan left Jiaozhou as envoys.
And with the news that Zhuge Liang had pacified Nanzhong, Sun Huan and Yu Fan's fall to the east had been worried by the dignitaries in Jianye City.
After all, the identities of Sun Huan and Yu Fan are not simple. Can one be the representative of the Sun family in the Ming Dynasty, and the other can be the representative of the Jiangdong gentry in the Ming Dynasty.
If there is a mistake between the two of them, it will undoubtedly be a big earthquake for the political structure of Jiangdong.
The important ministers from Jiangdong are also very curious. Didn't those two go to Jiaozhou to fight with Shihui's army?
How did they get to the end? Did the two of them return to Jianye under the escort of the Han army?
Due to external and internal reasons, Sun Huan and Yu Fan naturally kept their secrets secret.
But soon the eyes of Jiangdong's important officials outside Jianye City were attracted by a memorial jointly signed by Sun Huan and Yu Fan after their return.
That memorial also caused a major earthquake directly outside Jianye City.
The content of the memorial was very simple. Sun Huan and Yu Fan suggested that Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, take advantage of Cao Wei's southern campaign against Hanzhong to raise troops to capture Hefei.
When the contents of the memorandum spread outside Jianye City, it instantly caused an uproar.
Want to visit Hefei?
For most Jiangdong officials, Hefei is undoubtedly another nightmare besides the police.
Since the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan personally led troops to attack Hefei several times, but each time it ended in disgrace.
Even in the battle of Hefei in the 20th year of Jian'an, the Wu army was defeated, and even Sun Quan was almost captured alive by Zhang Liao.
That battle created Zhang Liao's huge reputation in Jiangdong, and also directly destroyed the confidence of Jiangdong officials to advance northward.
Jiangdong's ministers admitted that after several years of recuperation, Jiangdong's vitality had recovered to 89%.
In addition, when the Eastern Han and Wei Dynasties were fighting fiercely in Liangzhou, it was indeed a good opportunity to send troops to Jiangdong to expand their territory. Since Tiandong was so big, why not attack Hefei?
Then Jingzhou looks pretty good too.
After all, it can be seen from the intelligence received so far that Mi Yang in Liangzhou is being surrounded by the Wei army.
Soon after, the news that Liangzhou was captured by the Wei army will reach Jianye.
In that case, the best strategy for Jiangdong is undoubtedly to watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Not only many Jiangdong officials thought so, but even Sun Quan thought so.
In the dormitory outside the Taiwei's mansion, Sun Quan was having a quarrel with his close confidant. Thinking of the recent controversy that had been circulating outside the city, Sun Quan felt extremely upset.
Although many Jiangdong ministers did not agree to send troops to attack Hefei, some ministers did not support the suggestions of Sun Huan and Yu Fan.
Those important ministers were mainly those from Jiangbei.
Hefei is an important town in Huainan. Once Jiangdong can capture Hefei, the entire vast territory of Huainan can be captured by Jiangdong.
By then, with the support of their hometown, the voice of Jiangbei officials in Jiangdong will be greatly enhanced.
Of course, Sun Quan could not see the benefits of sending troops to attack Hefei at that time, but Sun Quan preferred to watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
What upset Sun Quan the most was that the strategy proposed by Sun Huan and Yu Fan successfully caused a quarrel between the ministers of the Jiangbei and Jiangdong factions outside Jiangdong.
For Sun Quan, who likes balance, this is the situation he least wants to see.
Whenever he thought about the chaos outside Jianye City in the Ming Dynasty, Sun Quan was angry at Mi Yang and Zhuge Liang's sinister intentions, but he couldn't help but become hesitant on the other hand.
Sun Huan and Yu Fan once met with Sun Quan in private and told Sun Quan the two evil plans of Mi Yang.
Is Sun Quan worried about Mi Yang's two vicious schemes?
As for Sun Quan's typical personality of not shedding tears even before seeing the coffin, if he was allowed to use all his troops from Jiangdong to attack Hefei just because of the fear in his heart, then it would be impossible, and it would probably make Sun Quan hesitate for a long time.
Fu Yi saw Sun Quan's irritability. As a close minister, he wanted to make some suggestions, but when he mentioned his hometown, he swallowed his words.
In recent years, Sun Quanfu has become increasingly suspicious.
Sun Quan saw that Fu Yi was hesitant to speak, which made him lose interest in playing chess even more.
Sun Quan's irritability caused him to overturn the chessboard in front of him and said bitterly:
"The thief really deceives people too much. Does he really think that he will obey his orders?
It is clear that Jiangdong is not what it used to be!"
Fei Yi looked at the chess pieces scattered on the ground and recalled a very unpleasant past event.
Just when Fei Yi felt something about it, the guard outside the door reported that spies from Feizhou had brought the latest news about the Liangzhou war.
At that time, Fei Yi's eyelids were twitching wildly, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
