Whether it is Luoyang, Chengdu or Jianye, the sun has risen into the sky, but no matter where it is, what people see is one sun, just like people know that there are no two suns in the sky, but now the world
But there are three emperors, and it is unknown who will win!
The rising sun in the sky was full of hope, but Sima Yi was in his twilight years. Sima Yi said: "Ahem, Zhao'er, Lun'er helped my father to walk in the courtyard. My father hasn't had a good look at the sun for several months.
."
Sima Zhao and Sima Lun both held up their hands and said, "My dear, help your father out right now!" Then the two brothers helped their father out of the house together, while the maids and servants in the house also picked up the kind of food with quick eyes and hands.
Originally, the imperial court asked Sima Yi to take a shortcut to Zhenguanzhong. But when he arrived at Baiwu, there was an edict calling him to return to the capital quickly. In three days, the edict came five times. Cao Rui's handwriting said: "When you look at it from the side, you will go straight to the pavilion."
Come in and look at me."
According to rumors, when he was in Xiangping, he once dreamed that Cao Rui was lying on his lap and said: "Look at my face." He looked down and saw a strange color on Cao Rui's face. Now when he saw this sentence in the edict, he was shocked and took advantage of it.
The pursuit car traveled day and night, from Baiwu to the capital, a distance of more than four hundred miles, and arrived overnight.
Of course, only he knows the inside story of this matter. With his intelligence, he also has many connections in the court and the palace.
It cannot be said that he learned the news in advance from some unknown channels and analyzed it in advance, so he rushed back from Xiangping by horseback for 400 miles overnight to show his respect for the dying Emperor Cao of the Wei Dynasty.
Rui's loyalty,
After all, if he went back too late at this time, he might not even be able to hold one of the two seats of assistant minister, and he wouldn't even be able to drink the soup. After all, at this sensitive time, Cao Rui said on his deathbed
Maybe he would listen to the villain's instigation and change his decision to appoint him as the auxiliary minister of the new dynasty.
After all, nothing can't happen at this time. Cao Rui is usually such a shrewd leader, and can use the art of imperial checks and balances to suppress him and a group of veterans in the court. This is something even his father, Emperor Wen Cao Pi, can't do.
But they are all incomparable,
But once this person reaches his deathbed, no matter he is an ordinary person or a high-ranking powerful person, the emperor of the world may have his ears softened at this time, his will will not be firm, and he will change the decision he made after careful consideration.
As a result, the great situation established for an empire collapsed.
There are a lot of lessons learned from the past. When Emperor Zulong was on his deathbed, he was finally able to calm down and make all practical arrangements for his funeral.
He summoned Prime Minister Li Si and Zhao Gao, the commander of the Zhongche Mansion, and ordered Zhao Gao to write a letter to the prince Fusu on his behalf: "The soldiers belong to Meng Tian, and they will be buried in Xianyang with the mourners." He ordered Fusu to hand over the military power to Meng Tian and quickly go to Xianyang to rule.
Funeral services and burials.
After the letter was written, it was stamped with a jade seal, sealed, and sent out immediately. However, the will was written too late and before it was sent out, Qin Shihuang died quickly.
Maybe it's just a few minutes, or even a few seconds. If Qin Shihuang died a little later, with his absolute authority, as long as he was alive, no one would dare to withhold the will. Then, the will would be issued and then arrive in Fusu
In your hands, the fate of the entire dynasty will not be so suspenseful.
However, this is not the case. In Qin Shihuang's true will, he ordered Fusu to return to Xianyang, and his intention was very clear, that is, to make Fusu his successor.
This arrangement should be Qin Shihuang’s wisest move in his later years, for the following reasons:
First, as the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, Fusu is nominally the most suitable successor to the imperial power. Succession as the eldest son of the emperor is justified, which can greatly reduce the coveting of the throne by other princes and is conducive to the smooth transition of imperial power;
Second, Fusu was a very capable man with both civil and military skills. Even the ministers who supported other princes (such as Zhao Gao) had to recognize Fusu's ability. Of course, the heir to the throne that Qin Shihuang liked must be capable;
Third, Fusu had an imperial spirit. When others (including Qin Shihuang's other sons) did not dare to speak out under the power of Qin Shihuang, only Fusu made several direct remonstrances and expressed a relatively independent philosophy of governing the country.
Although Fusu's actions once made Qin Shihuang very unhappy and even drove him out of the capital. But when Qin Shihuang calmed down, he would think: This is his own son. If he is just a flattering and incompetent person, how can Qin Shihuang rest assured?
Entrust him with the important responsibilities of the country and the country;
Fourth, now looking back at the arrangements of the First Emperor, even when Qin Shihuang drove Fusu out of the capital, he still left room for his eldest son. He sent Fusu to supervise the border areas and had more than 300,000 troops who were in the court and the army.
The most prestigious Meng Tian.
Fusu and Mengtian get along very well, and Mengtian and his family are loyal to the Qin Dynasty. In this way, after Qin Shihuang hands over the imperial power to Fusu, Fusu will steadily control the situation with the support of Mengtian and powerful military forces.
To avoid the chaotic situation caused by the death of Qin Shihuang.
For the fate of the entire dynasty, as an extraordinary political figure, Qin Shihuang's arrangements before his death were actually the result of his many years of observation, comparison, and painstaking arrangements, and were the final crystallization of all his political wisdom.
This was originally very wise, but God is not as good as God. Qin Shihuang would never have dreamed that just after his death, the most authoritative will would be tampered with, and the dynasty that dreamed of lasting forever would also fall apart in an instant.
However, Li Si's final choice to help the tiger did not end well. After being used by the eunuch Zhao Gao, he was cut in half at Caishikou in Xianyang, and his entire family was executed, which was quite miserable.
It can be seen that at this moment, it is still very difficult to make the right decision, convey the will to the right people, and let capable people control the overall situation of the DPRK and China.
So at this time, he must rush back to Luoyang as soon as possible no matter what, and show off his good "acting skills" that he has learned over the years in front of Cao Rui. He must first stabilize Cao Rui,
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is most urgent to get the position of your own assistant minister, otherwise you will be very likely to be assisted by the new emperor after he ascends the throne.
After the political ministers are cleared, what is the future of the Sima family?
So he drove four hundred miles in one night, and didn't go home the next day. He went directly to the royal bed in Jiafu Hall, with tears in his eyes, and asked about his illness. It can be seen that his acting skills are quite good, after all, he has been a great actor for so many years.
Wei Chaotang did not stay in vain.
Cao Rui took his hand, looked at the prince, King Qi, and said: "We will trust each other in the future. Death is no longer bearable. I will bear death to treat you. We can see each other again and there will be no hatred anymore." ("Three Kingdoms, Wei")
"Book of Records of Emperor Ming" reads: "I am seriously ill, and everything from now on will belong to you. I will be with you and Shuang Fu, your young son. I can see you and have no hatred."
On the same day, Cao Rui died. It was the first month of the third year of Jingchu (239). King Cao Fang of Qi succeeded to the throne. He was only eight years old. He and General Cao Shuang accepted the imperial edict to assist the young master.
When the King of Qi came to the throne, Sima Yi was appointed as a minister, responsible for maintaining integrity, supervising all the Chinese and foreign armies, and recording ministerial affairs. Sima Yi and Cao Shuang each commanded 3,000 elite troops to jointly manage the government.
Cao Shuang wanted to squeeze out Sima Yi, and wanted the minister to approve him in advance so that he could have exclusive power. He proposed to the emperor and appointed Sima Yi as the great Sima.
The courtiers thought that many of the previous great ministers had died in office, which was unlucky, so they appointed Sima Yi as the Taifu, following the example of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, who entered the palace without rushing, praised and worshiped without being named, and went to the palace with swords and shoes.
The eldest son, Sima Shi, was appointed as the regular servant of the casual cavalry, three of his children were appointed as lieutenants, and four were appointed as cavalry captains. Sima Yi kept a low profile and vigorously refused to allow his children to serve as officials.
Of course, this is not because he doesn't want to, but because the situation does not allow it. After all, there is Cao Shuang, the general of the Cao Wei clan who is more powerful than him, watching him...
On the Shu Han side, the palace and the general's palace all learned the news that Sima Yi's condition was gradually improving, but they had different thoughts and calculations.
