Chapter 495 The Battle of Yiling (17)

When Cao Pi succeeded to the throne of the Queen of Wei, there were countless auspicious signs in the territory of Wei.

The yellow dragon, phoenix, unicorn, white tiger, nectar, sweet spring, and strange beasts are all the most beautiful since ancient times.

Some were arranged secretly by Cao Pi, and some were forged by local officials to please Cao Pi, but this momentum also made Cao Pi secretly happy.

Xu Zhi, the Chief Secretary of the Grand Historian, was a close friend with Li Fu. As the Chief Secretary of the Central Army, he naturally knew the inside story of the so-called celestial phenomena. He wanted to share the credit for the persuasion to his friends and said to Li Fu:

"All kinds of auspicious signs are signs of the contemporary Han Dynasty of Wei. Brother Li can come forward to participate in the ceremony of Zen and ask the Emperor of Han to transfer the world to the King of Wei, which will make a great contribution."

So Xu Zhi and Li Fu contacted Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Xinpi, Jia Xu, Liu Yi, Liu Ye, Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Huan Jie and other groups of civil and military bureaucrats, with a total of more than 40 people, and went straight to the inner hall to request Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate to Cao Pi, King of Wei.

As the prime minister of Wei, Hua Xin came to see Emperor Xian and asked for help:

"Since the King of Wei ascended the throne, he has been virtuous and benevolent in all directions, and has been benevolent in all things, and has gone through ancient and modern times. Even though the Tang Dynasty, Yu had no choice but to go through this. The meeting of ministers said that the Han Dynasty had ended. I hope Your Majesty will follow the way of Yao and Shun, and use mountains, rivers, country, Zen and the King of Wei to match the heart of heaven and the people's wishes. Your Majesty will enjoy the blessing of leisure, and the ancestors are very lucky! I am very lucky! I agree and come to ask for it."

Although Emperor Xian of Han was regarded as a puppet for many years, his status was still there and he was not considered the king of the country to be destroyed.

Now that I heard that the ministers asked him to abdicate, I was naturally unhappy. After pondering for a while, I had no choice but to play the tragedy card first to see if I could gain the sympathy of all officials and temporarily postpone the palace.

So Emperor Xian of Han rubbed his eyes, squeezed out a few tears, and said:

"I want Emperor Gaozu to bring up a three-foot sword, kill the snake and revolt, pacify Qin and destroy Chu, create a foundation, and it has been passed down from generation to generation for four hundred years. Although I am not talented, I have no mistakes at first. How can I abandon my ancestors' great cause? All the officials will follow the public plan."

Hua Xin led Li Fu and Xu Zhi approached and said:

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, please ask these two people."

Li Fuzao was ready and said:

"Since the King of Wei ascended the throne, the Qilin was born, the phoenix came to rituals, the yellow dragon appeared, the golden grains were born, and the nectar was descending. This is the sign of the great fortune of the heavens, and the contemporary Han Dynasty of Wei."

The Grand Historian Xu Zhi also reported:

"I am in charge of the Tiantian. I watched Qianxiang at night. I saw that the flames of Han energy had ended, and Your Majesty's Emperor Star was hidden and unknown. The Qianxiang of Wei State was in the sky and the earth, and it was difficult to say it. The prophecy also responded to the prophecy, and the prophecy said: Ghosts are on the border, and the wei are connected; the contemporary Han Dynasty has nothing to say. The words are in the east and Wu are in the west; the light is moved up and down in two days. In this regard, Your Majesty can abdicate early. Ghosts are in the border, and the wei is connected, which is the word Wei; the word is in the east and Wu is in the west, which is the word Xu; the light is moved up and down in two days, which is the word Chang: This is when Wei is in Xuchang, and you are in the Han Ze. I hope Your Majesty will observe it."

When Emperor Xian saw the ministers pressing against each other, he would definitely not dare to do anything to him. He made up his mind and said:

"Auspicious and auspicious prophecies are all false things; how can I just want me to give up the foundation of my ancestors with false things?"

As a famous scholar today, Wang Lang speaks very seriously, and he also said:

"Since ancient times, there will be aborted when there is prosperity, and there will be decline when there is prosperity. How can there be a country that will not perish or an invincible family? It has been said that the Han Dynasty has been prosecuted for more than 400 years, and it has been extended to Your Majesty. It is time to retreat early and not hesitate; it will change."

Emperor Xian of Han saw that the matter was unscrupulous and was really sad. He didn't say anything. He turned around and cried back to the back hall. The officials sneered and retreated.

The power of Emperor Xian of Han fell into a puppet, not because he was foolish and incompetent, but because of the current situation.

Emperor Xian of Han also wanted to restore the imperial power many times, but he was defeated by Cao Cao. In recent years, he has been content to act as a puppet, mainly to spend the rest of his life and avoid becoming a king of a country that has fallen into ruin.

A king who has a devastated country is the most unacceptable for an emperor. It not only ends up miserable, but also brings shame to thousands of years.

In order to avoid this ending, Emperor Xian of Han sat in the palace for several hours, and had no choice but to do anything, so he made up his mind and prepared to force him to death, and then let Queen Cao Jie go to plead with his brother Cao Pi.

It was just the time for dinner. When the queen saw that Emperor Xian had no meal, she went to the bedroom to find Emperor Xian of Han and asked:

"What's wrong with your majesty? Why don't you need dinner?"

Emperor Xian of Han cried and said:

"Your brother wants to usurp the throne, so he has ordered all officials to force each other. I don't want to become the king of the country. I want to die on a hunger strike. The queen can pass on my will to let my eldest son Liu Feng succeed to the throne, and then give it to your brother Cao Pi."

"A hundred days of kindness for a couple." Although Cao Jie is Cao Cao's daughter, he has no weight in the Cao family. He can have his current status. A typical wife is noble because of her husband.

If the emperor's husband dies or abdicates, he will have no status, and Cao Jie doesn't want to do this. He quickly persuades Liu Xie and hurriedly returns to his parents' home to argue with Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi faced his sister, he did not pretend to make Emperor Xian of Han give up.

Cao Pi admitted that Liu Xie's abdication was a foregone conclusion, and even if Liu Xie wanted to die, it would be difficult for him to die. If he really died, he would take the lead directly and would never make his son Liu Feng the emperor.

Of course, Cao Pi would not blindly force Emperor Xian of Han. He also gave some guarantees and vowed to treat Liu Xie and his wife well. Except for having no status, all the expenses and treatments are the same as they are now and will not change.

After Cao Jie returned to the palace, he conveyed Cao Pi's meaning. Liu Xie was very angry when he heard this and decided to fight on a hunger strike.

Who knew that after only half a day and without two meals, Liu Xie could not bear the hunger and gave up the idea of ​​seeking death.

Emperor Xian of Han, who could not even resist hunger, finally figured it out that it would be better to live without death.

After pretending to behave in the palace for several days, he pretended to be persuaded by Empress Cao and agreed to the request of his ministers.

Emperor Xian of Han took the initiative to go to court and said to them crying:

"I am willing to abdicate the world to the King of Wei, and fortunately stay in the remaining breath, to end the whole year of heaven."

Jia Xu understood Cao Pi's thoughts best. He wanted to replace Emperor Xian of Han decently. The matter of forcing the palace was the destiny of heaven, and he would never have any relationship with Cao Pi.

In order to avoid suspicion, Cao Pi had already stationed in Qiao with hundreds of thousands of troops. He comforted the six armies and the elders of Qiao County in the east of the east of the country. This time he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and wanted to fully enjoy the glory of returning home in glory.

Cao Pi did not show up, and Jia Xu made a statement on the spot:

"The King of Wei will not let down Your Majesty. Your Majesty can issue an edict to calm everyone's hearts."

Emperor Xian of Han ordered Chen Qun to prepare a decree from the Zen Kingdom, and ordered Hua Xin to carry the seal of the imperial edict and lead all officials to the palace of Wei to offer it.

Emperor Xian of Han wrote in his edict:

"I have been in power for 32 years and have been destroyed by the world. Fortunately, I have been relied on the spirit of my ancestors and have survived in danger. However, now I look up to the sky and look down on the hearts of the people. After the number of the spirits of the spirit is over, my fortune depends on the Cao family. In the past, the king has built the traces of Shenwu, and now the king has shining bright virtues to meet his expectations. The number of clear and clear results can be seen. The world is the public. Tang Yao did not take personal interest in his son, but his reputation spread to the infinite. I secretly admire him. Now he followed Yao's Dian and abdicated to the Prime Minister Wei. The king would not refuse!"
