When the rising sun rose, the bell in front of the Imperial Palace in Xinye City knocked on clang again. The ministers waiting in front of the door entered one after another, and they were surprised as soon as they entered the hall. Because the emperor Cao Pi was already sitting upright on the dragon bed, the two ministers had just returned from the back hall after the trains of the ministers. The ministers then found that Cao Pi's eyes were black, and it was obvious that he had not slept well last night.

Why do you say that? Since the news of Xiahou Dun's death came, Cao Pi had vaguely noticed that something was wrong, and then more and more signs made him feel dangerous. So during this period, he had difficulty falling asleep one after another. Last night, he heard that Sima Yi had been sleeping all night after large-scale mobilization of troops and generals. He came to the hall with dark eyes early this morning.

It is not surprising that he was so panicked. Since leaving the Central Plains, the entire court has been divided into two major factions centered on him and Sima Yi. The core of his group is mainly composed of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, while the Sima Yi is composed of the disciples of the Sima family and the Sima family. The rest of the ministers each took their own teams, without exception. Even if they did not take the team, they were still regarded as the "imperial party" to which Cao Pi belonged. This principle is very simple. If they do not form a party, they only have loyalty to the court, and Cao Pi is the representative of the legal owner of the court.

Although the Imperial Party was much smaller than Sima Yi, there were Cao Zhen and Xiahou Dun, the two of them, who were carrying the main brigade. There was a group of Xiahou. The middle and low-level generals of the Cao family were stationed in the court, and the army was everywhere, which made Cao Pi believe that Sima Yi did not dare to act rashly.

However, once and forth, with Cao Zhen and Xiahou Dun, the two men were killed one after another. Cao Pi and his court immediately faced the danger of being completely controlled by Sima Yi. However, it was useless to be anxious, and he could only watch Sima Yi grab all the power of the government in an orderly manner.

Some of the centrists who usually say they want to be loyal to the Great Wei also saw signs and defected to Sima Yi. Of course, there were not many such people, because few such people would follow Cao Pi to leave the Central Plains and run to this remote Yingzhou.

The eunuch beside the dragon couch whispered to remind Cao Pi, who was tilted and dazed, and said, "Master, the ministers are all here, and you can start the court discussion."

Cao Pi woke up and looked into the hall. Then he whispered to the eunuch as if he had discovered something: "Everyone has arrived, why didn't Sima Yi, the Grand Tutor and General?"

"You have forgotten that Your Majesty personally issued an edict, and the general can go to court at will. It's so late now that he hasn't come yet, which means he has something to do today and cannot come."

Cao Pi was helpless and didn't even want to speak, so he waved his hand to let the court start. The eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "The court starts, all the ministers, I have the original report, but I have no original report to leave the court."

Someone immediately reported in the hall: "The Dog Nu Kingdom has surrendered to our Great Wei, and agreed to all the conditions proposed by the Great Wei, and surrendered to the Great Wei. At present, three thousand iron cavalry have been stationed in various cities of the Dog Nu Kingdom, but our general Xiahou Dun was unfortunately killed. The court still needs to send a capable general to command these Iron Cavalry. Moreover, three thousand iron cavalry is not enough, and more people should be sent. Because Jiuzhou Island is crucial to our Great Wei, the Dog Nu Kingdom must be completely controlled by the court, and it is not just a matter of surrender."

Someone sneered and said, "This is natural. In fact, these generals have already done it. They have sent many generals and Ganchen to the Dognu Kingdom and have also reinforced a large number of troops."

Cao Pi on the dragon couch and the group of people who supported the Wei family began to murmur in their hearts, let alone discuss such a big thing in the court, let Sima Yi decide without even saying a word? But no one said these words.

The hall was silent for a moment, and Cao Pi said to break the silence: "Okay, the general is decisive in his work, so he can save me from worrying. Even, very good." Then he winked at the eunuch beside him, wanting to retreat to the harem as soon as possible and calmed himself.

The eunuch sang again: "There is a memorial, but the unmemorial will be resigned!" When Cao Pi was about to lift his butt and walk, another voice came: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"

Cao Pi had to sit on the dragon couch again. Looking around, it turned out that he was the Minister of the Assistant Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu was Sima Yi's most peripheral confidant. This means that he had no blood relationship with Sima Yi and was not a student of anyone from the Sima family. His current official position had nothing to do with Sima Yi and even the Sima family. But he had a close relationship with Sima Yi over the past few days.

Cao Pi asked impatiently: "Shishou Minister Yang Xiu, what do you have to report to me?"

At this time, Yang Xiu had already stepped into the middle of the hall, kneeled down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, my Great Wei was defeated from the Central Plains and was about to perish. Xin De Taishi Zhongda turned the tide and led our army, civilians, monarchs and ministers to Yingzhou to create a new foundation. Now, we have no blood to pacify the nine states. This is a re-creation for our Great Wei. Our ministers discussed and everyone said that the Wei throne had ended. I hope Your Majesty will follow Yao and Shun's way of abdicating the throne with the Grand Master. In this way, the superiors are in line with the heart of heaven and the inferiors are in line with the people's wishes. Your Majesty can also enjoy the blessing of leisure. The ancestors are very lucky! The creatures are very lucky! The ministers agree,..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi knew that he was forcing the palace to abdicate. He had performed this scene once, but that time he was not the role who was forced to abdicate. His face immediately turned pale and was angry. Looking around, there were several people who were as surprised and angry as him, but at least 80% of them looked calm. Obviously, they had known and even participated in this matter.

Cao Pi slapped the table in anger and stood up and shouted, "Yang Xiu, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you know that this is a rebellion? Come, take down the rebel Yang Xiu and rectify the Dharma on the spot."

However, his shouting was ineffective, and the warriors standing outside the hall gate were silent. At this time, a large number of people in the hall knelt down and said in unison: "Please give the emperor the most important thing to the people's will and abdicate the throne to the Grand Master!"

"You, you...rebels, are all rebels!" Cao Pi was already incoherent in his speech. He simply shook his sleeves and walked towards the harem. When he walked into his bedroom, the door behind him was closed with a clang. He hurriedly turned around and pushed the door, and then he found that the hall was locked tightly. He let him shout, and there was no response outside.

When Cao Pi was trapped in his bedroom for three days, he was so hungry that he was dizzy that he finally agreed to abdicate the throne to Sima Yi. So, the historical drama of "Three Sayings and Three Retreats" was re-enacted in this newly built city of Xinye. Then Sima Yi ascended the throne and became emperor as he wished, and used his hometown to call it the country name---Jin.
