With short-sighted eyes, he would only stare in front of him, thinking that Cao Cao was dead and Cao Wei was going to be finished, but he must not forget that Zhang He had 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands in Sili area. He was a surrendered general. How could Cao Cao be kind to him? Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu had 100,000, plus Cao Xiu from Fancheng and Xiahou Shang from Hefei, all the military powers were under the control of the Cao clan!
At this time, how the gentry united the imperial party to resist Cao Wei is likely to be both sides, and it would be a result of blood flowing.
So, wouldn’t it let Guo Jia, Sun Quan and Liu Bei reap the profits?
The gentry followed Cao Wei, at least they still have some power and a little empty position now.
If Guo Jia really swept away, the gentry would be uprooted by then. If everyone wants to be an official, they can honestly participate in the imperial examination like the poor children. Who would like to do it?
Therefore, the gentry cannot oppose Cao Wei now, at least they cannot cause trouble for Cao Wei. Let the Cao family stabilize the situation first, at least after there is no external threat, they will discuss internal affairs, so as not to impulse and cause internal and external difficulties, and ultimately it will be thankless and all the money will be paid to the outside world.
Chen Qun hesitated for a moment and said to Sima Yi in a deep voice: "It's true that before Yaoliang, I had discussed with Xun Da Ren, Cheng Da Ren, Zhong Da Ren, Cui Da Ren and others. Today I will immediately invite Mr. Pi to ascend the throne."
When Sima Yi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Since Zhong Yao, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Cui Yan and others have discussed this matter with Chen Qun, the chaos within Cao Wei will soon subside.
Erji walked into the Wei Palace with a serious expression, from the outside to the inside, and cried endlessly.
The officials who truly followed Cao Cao were heartbroken. Those officials who came to deal with the errands and wished that Cao Cao would die early would have to shed a few tears.
As the oldest young master of the Cao family, Cao Pi led his brothers to cry in the hall. The mansion was preparing to wear mourning clothes and plain clothes, and the sound of the female family members crying in the backyard was faintly heard.
Sima Yi and Chen Qun did not cry, and walked into the lobby and came straight to Cao Pi.
The young prince Cao Pi clasped his fists with both hands, and blood dripping flowed out of the cracks of his fists. His tears fell silently, his eyes were dull, as if they had collapsed.
Cao Cao is the backbone of the Cao family and the Cao Wei group!
After Cao Pi received the bad news from his father, he was in a daze, his mind was chaotic, his heart was as cold as ice, and he seemed to be falling rapidly. The feeling of peace and stability in the past was gone forever, and the panic and sadness in his heart were intertwined with extremely bitterness.
"Pi Gongzi, Pi Gongzi"
Chen Qun called Cao Pi back to his senses. Cao Pi turned his head mechanically with tears in his eyes, and he looked at Chen Qun as if he had lost his soul.
"Talking with a walk."
Chen Qun's solemn expression made Cao Pi's dim eyes instantly restore a hint of clarity.
He quickly wiped his tears and followed Chen Qun and Sima Yi to the side hall.
Close the door to prevent any incoming from eavesdropping, Cao Pi looked at the second incoming in confusion.
"Young Master Pi, I am sad. Now, it is not a time to be sad. Please think about it. The news that the King of Wei died in Jingzhou has spread all over the world. Do you think about the consequences?"
Sima Yi looked directly at Cao Pi with expressionless expression, his eyes full of determination.
Cao Pi is not a fool. When he heard that his mind was changing rapidly, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
Cao Cao is already dead and cannot be resurrected. However, if the Cao family fails to respond, the entire clan may be destroyed. "Changwen, Zhongda, what should we do now? Why not transfer Cao Ren and Xiahou Shang back to Yecheng?"
Cao Pi was so anxious that there were not many soldiers in Yecheng, which made him feel full of dangers. Even if the Cao family did not have any hatred, the political infighting would cause the Cao family to collapse in an instant!
Chen Qun stretched out his arm and pressed his hand on Cao Pi's shoulder. That is, Chen Qun is considered to be the possession of Cao Pi's elders and dared to do this. Sima Yi did not dare. The other two people who had a close relationship with Cao Pi did not dare to do it either. Zhu Shuo and Wu Zhi did not dare to do it.
"Young Master Pi, what you have to do now is to tell everyone that the Cao family has not fallen!"
Cao Pi was shocked and suddenly realized.
right!
Cao Cao is the big banner of Cao Wei. Now that Cao Cao is dead, he must carry the royal banner of Cao Wei.
Cao Pi suddenly looked embarrassed.
Cao Cao asked him to be the prince, but he did not officially enthrone it, so he was considered a "ager".
Facing a martial arts Cao Zhang and a more literary Cao Zhi than him, Cao Pi is not afraid of brothers' destruction. What he is afraid of is a trouble at this time. If the situation can be stabilized, Cao Pi can handle it calmly no matter how the brothers fight, but at this time, it cannot.
Chen Qun's tone was heavy and decisive.
"Young Master Pi, let's hold the ceremony of succession now. No matter what you don't want to join, you can sit on the throne first!"
Cao Pi took a few steps back in shock, and finally stabilized his body and felt his mood fluctuated.
In terms of age, he is old and he succeeds to the throne, who dares to complain?
In terms of identity, since his mother became Cao Cao's official wife, he became the legitimate son and it is legitimate to succeed the throne!
Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi are not even a man, so why should we compete with him?
The ceremony of succession was carried out first, and ascending to the throne, Cao Pi was equivalent to cutting off the idea of ​​other brothers competing for throne.
There are also great enemies from outside Guo Jia, Sun Quan and Liu Bei. If those brothers want to cause trouble, the first thing they are sorry for is Cao Cao, whose corpse is not cold!
Cao Pi gritted his teeth, his eyes became firm, and he nodded fiercely.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Chen Qun and Sima Yi hurried out with Cao Pi.
Chen Qun contacted the real power-in-communications in Cao Wei, such as Cui Yan, Mao Jie, Xun You, Cheng Yu, etc., as well as Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and others, who were also witnessed Cao Pi's succession.
In this way, it is equivalent to telling all the core belongings of the Cao Wei Group that support Cao Pi.
Sima Yi went to prepare for all matters of the ceremony of succession.
The north is cold, and Yecheng is even more icy and icy.
Cao Pi hurriedly completed the ceremony of succession under the gaze of Cao Wei Group's real power.
No matter how his brothers thought about this afterwards, they were powerless to recover. If they wanted to make trouble, they would not cause any big trouble.
After quickly ascending the throne, Cao Pi immediately asked his most trusted Sima Yi and Chen Qun for advice.
Cao Pi still wanted Cao Ren and Xiahou Shang to lead troops back to Yecheng.
Sima Yi advised him earnestly.
"Young Master, oh, General Cao Ren, guards Fancheng. The reason Man Chong has already made it clear in the letter. If Fancheng is lost, the Central Plains will be in danger. Xiahou Shang leads troops to guard Hefei, and is also guarding against Sun Quan. If the King of Wei must dispatch troops, please ask the King of Wei to order immediately and ask Xiahou Shang to lead troops back to Xuchang! Xuchang cannot have any mistakes!"
Hefei is a strategic location, but when Cao Cao lost 300,000 troops in Chibi, Cao Wei was so large and had such a long front line. How could he defend it with his current troops?
In the imperial capital Xuchang, no accident can happen. If the imperial party causes a second-generation chaos, the Cao family will lose their name with a young child!
Although Liu Xie is not as valuable as before, this sign is not as good as before.
