Chapter 69: The Event of Shun Yu

Cao Pi wanted to change the dynasty and the abdication ceremony was held in Yecheng. When he made his ambition public, he first faced the breaking of some loyal Han ministers in the court.

Some civil officials led by Cui Yan and Mao Jie wrote letters to Cao Pi and resigned from his post and returned to his country.

Resisting the Cao family's usurpation of the throne, he used an egg to hit the stone. Under the general trend, even Cui Yan and Mao Jie, two civil officials who Cao Cao were very respected, were unable to turn the world back.

Cao Pi rewarded them with a large amount of gold, silver and fertile land. As the abdication ceremony approached, Cao Pi was unwilling to start a massacre. Moreover, the group represented by Cui Yan and Mao Jie was only a small part. As long as they did not surrender to the enemy, Cao Pi still had the will to let them go.

Everyone has their own ambitions. We can't blame the Cao family for letting down these ministers. But from the beginning, these ministers did not see Cao Cao's true face clearly. It was Cao Cao who concealed it very well, or did they develop ambition step by step, or did they have their own eyes?

It's hard to explain, it's hard to explain.

In fact, after Xun Yu passed away strangely, the ministers who supported Han in the court felt very bad. Perhaps they still had a little expectation for the Cao family. With a duke and a prince, it should be time to stop?

But in the end, Cao Pi took the step that Cao Cao never took in his life, completely shattering the last fantasy of these people.

The abdication ceremony was an unprecedented grand ceremony. All the people with a little weight under the rule of Cao Wei were present. Of course, military generals with military orders led their troops outside and could not leave their posts without permission. In the distance, these people also focused on Yecheng. Everyone knew that the era when the Cao family officially ruled the world was about to begin.

On the Temple of Heaven, Liu Xie, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, burst into tears and said tremblingly as he sacrificed the heavens. There were Cao Wei's swordsman around the Temple of Heaven. As long as Liu Xie dared to act in a slight lingering act, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Cao Pi was under the stairs, looking up with his hands behind him, and behind him, all the officials bowed their heads indifferently.

This moment is not glorious and cannot be shown off.

All these civil and military officials and generals turned to Cao Wei because Cao Pi used his political interests to induce him. At this moment, it will be recorded in history forever and may even be infamous for thousands of years.

Umbstrarianism is definitely a shameful thing for Confucian and Taoist literati who advocate the loyalty of the king, wise ministers.

But compared to face and reputation, it is obvious that the family prosperity of descendants is more practical.

Perhaps many people who close their eyes and don’t want to see this scene are thinking in their hearts that the price of one person’s praise and criticism is worth it.

In sacrifice to heaven and earth, Liu Xie completed the show he should have done. Looking down at the bottom, Liu Xie struggled and hated. He could even reveal the family backgrounds of the ministers below, what kind of officials their ancestors had in the Han Dynasty, what kind of favors they received from the Han emperors, etc., but all of this will become history. The person they all support now is Cao Pi, the man who ruined the Han Dynasty from Liu Xie.

Read the edict, Liu Xie abdicated and abdicated with Cao Pi.

A historic moment has arrived.

Cao Pi had an uncontrollable smile on his face, his head held high and his chest was full of complacentness, and he strided forward to the ladder. He had just taken three steps, and suddenly looked back and looked at the ministers, while everyone focused their eyes on Cao Pi.

At this moment, he stopped, why?

Cao Pi looked at Chen Qun and Sima Yi standing side by side in front, and laughed loudly, "I know what Shun and Yu are doing."

After saying that, Cao Pi smiled heartily and turned around and left.

The eight words he said made all the civil servants below disdain and even disgusted.

Chen Qun's eyes drooped slightly and sighed slightly.

Cao Pi, what qualifications do you have to compare yourself with Dayu?

Dayu had the best efforts to control water in the world, what about you?

If the Cao family says that anyone who has made contributions is Cao Cao.

It was Cao Cao who reorganized and subdued this fragmented country step by step, and it was Cao Cao who captured Cao Wei's territory.

However, Cao Cao used the wrong method. If he had not used the emperor to order the princes to use the name of the Han Dynasty, how could Cao Pi usurp the throne today?

Cao Pi ascended to the Temple of Heaven and came to Liu Xie. He ignored Liu Xie's eyes that were so angry that he wanted to tear him apart. Cao Pi put on a respectful attitude and completed the subsequent abdication ceremony.

Liu Xie retreated from the throne and was demoted to the title of king. On the contrary, Cao Pi ascended the throne, posthumously named Cao Cao as Emperor Wu of Wei, changed his reign to Huangchu, and immigrated the world!

Looking up at the sky and looking down at the earth, the breeze slowly passed by. Cao Pi, who was wearing the crown, was released from his heart, as if he dominated all things and wanted to do so in the world.

He closed his eyes and breathed slowly, Cao Pi murmured: "I wonder if Ying Zheng and Liu Bang have the same feelings as me!"

Yizhou Emei Mountain

On the lush green mountains, magnificent flowing water, and on the green plain, on the newly completed grave, Cai Yan, who was so beautiful that he was wearing a filial piety dress, was pale and looked haggard.

Guo Jia, who was also wearing plain clothes, knelt in front of the tomb, reached out to stop Cai Yan's waist, and let her lean against her shoulder.

Behind Guo Jia, his wives, concubines, and children were wearing mourning clothes together. Everyone's eyes were locked on the name on the tombstone, and they felt very sad.

Among them, Guo Jin, who was already a handsome young man, burst into tears, his eyes were red, and his tears could not stop him. Cao Xian and Cao Jie, who were with him, could only gently hold his hand and give him some comfort.

Behind the Guo family's family, there were guards along the mountain road. At the foot of the mountain, there were densely packed literati and scholars gathered. Most of them were teachers from Baijia Schools. On this day, they came here with sadness and looked up at the mountain.

In front of the tomb, Guo Jia poured a glass of wine and sprinkled it in front of the monument, and said softly: "Father-in-law, I'm sorry."

After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, the news reached Yizhou, Cai Yong, who was nearly 80 years old, vomited blood and died three days later.

Before his death, Cai Yong hoped to see Guo Jia, but Guo Jia did not go.

Guo Jia was afraid that when he heard Cai Yong's last words on his deathbed, he would ask him to support the Han Dynasty, just like Xun Yu.

The fact now is that the Han Dynasty has died!

According to Cao Pi's cruel and ruthless style, he would definitely continue to strictly control Liu Xie after he became emperor. If there is any slightest disturbance, Liu Xie would die without a place to die.

If Guo Jia still goes to support the Han Dynasty, who should I find as the spokesperson of the Han Dynasty? Should I find Liu Bei?

He can't, from the beginning.

Cai Yan, who was nestled on Guo Jia's shoulder, spoke dryly, and the sound of nature that used to be like a yellow oriole suddenly became heavy.

"Husband, you are wrong. Before my death, I asked me to tell you something."

Of course, Cai Yan was the one who accompanied Cai Yong through the last journey. Cai Yan's mother took the lead seven years ago.

Guo Jia sighed and said, "Tell me."

"Dad said, please ask your husband to be a good emperor."

Guo Jia was shocked and looked at the tombstone in disbelief.

Guo Jia, who has experienced countless ups and downs, must admit that he misreaded someone, Cai Yong.

This old man who seems stubborn and pedantic is actually very wise.

Perhaps Cai Yong actually accepted the reality after a conversation back then.

For him, the most difficult choice is to be in the middle, while helping the man without any way, while helping Guo Jia teach talents continuously in the hundreds of schools. This is the choice between loyalty to the emperor and the people.

Cai Yong chose the latter. A hundred schools of thought would build a new county every year. For more than 20 years, Guo Jia has benefited greatly. Cai Yong's invisible banner attracted countless literati and patriots. They may not necessarily become officials under Guo Jia, but being a teacher who receives a good salary is also an obvious and huge contribution to Guo Jia's rule.

With a sad smile, Guo Jia picked up the wine pot and fed it himself, and said to Cai Yong's tombstone: "In this way, my father-in-law must know why I handed over the emperor to the past."

Cai Yan burst into tears, leaned on Guo Jia weakly, and nodded slowly.

The most fatal reason why Guo Jia gave up the emperor and ordered the princes to Liu Xie's double-edged sword was the situation today.

Although Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, he was a ritual, and set an example for the founding kings of several generations since then. To change the dynasty, he either bleed or abdicated. It seemed that he abdicated and peacefully followed the way of heaven, but in fact he wore a high-sounding cloak, which was what many emperors wanted to keep in history, but people in the world were not fools. They were remembered for thousands of years and were in a thought.

Guo Jia doesn't want the emperor, but he doesn't want him, including his descendants, to bear the infamy of usurping the Han Dynasty.

This name will be carried forever!

Being a good emperor is also a heavy requirement, which is a burden that Guo Jia cannot bear after working hard in troubled times for more than 20 years.

It’s not that Guo Jia escapes this burden, but that he doesn’t want his life to go on with heavy responsibilities all the way.

Everyone should have the power to choose. Guo Jia has already made a choice when he was in this strategic deployment to destroy Cao.

Standing up, Guo Jia gave Diao Chan a wink behind her. Diao Chan understood and walked up to take over Guo Jia's position to support Cai Yan.

Mourning relatives is a must-do, and Guo Jia cannot stay for a long time. He still has countless official duties to be busy with.

When he was about to go down the mountain, when he passed by Guo Jin, Guo Jia saw him crying in vain, patted his shoulder comfortably, and then walked away.

As he walked down the mountain road, Guo Jia had just walked halfway. Pang Tong walked to Guo Jia with a few rolls of bamboo slips and presented it to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia took a roll and looked at it while walking.

Pang Tong followed him, following closely behind.

Rolling up the bamboo slips, Guo Jia paused, turned his head to look at Pang Tong, and asked, "Emperor of Establishment, Gong Xingtian Punishment?"

Pang Tong nodded seriously.

"I'll discuss this matter again."

Guo Jia threw the bamboo slips into Pang Tong's arms and walked to leave, but Pang Tong advised: "Lord, Cao Pi is the emperor, and the Han Dynasty has been destroyed. If the lord does not become the emperor, can the lord be compared with Cao Pi in front of the world in the future?"

Guo Jia's position as the second most general in the prefecture and military positions, but these were both officials of the Han Dynasty.

The title is just a marquis.

The dialogue between heroes, Cao Pi is the emperor, what is Guo Jia?

Guo Jia's status is a bit inappropriate now, so he must also raise his own banner.

Guo Jia turned around and stared at Pang Tong, and said in a deep voice: "Shi Yuan, you know how long can Cao Pi be the emperor? Don't mention the matter of becoming an emperor."
