Chapter 225 At the end of his life, he was all-powerful and let others comment after his death (3)

Sima Yi persuaded the Cao brothers and asked them to mourn. Afterwards, the coffin entered the city, Cao's relatives kept watch, and a group of civil officials presided over the funeral. A few days later, Cao Cao's funeral was officially held. According to his will, he was buried next to the Ximen Leopard Temple. With the support of civil and military officials, Cao Pi inherited the title of King Wei in accordance with Cao Cao's will. Fifteen days after the funeral, Cao Pi announced to the world that his father had passed away.Zang Ba, who was stationed in the Qing and Xu areas, heard the news and thought that there would be chaos in the world, so he brought

With the Qingzhou army clamoring and leaving, the other troops were still loyal to Cao Cao's will, sticking to their posts, and swearing allegiance to Cao Pi one after another.In view of this situation, Cao Pi called civil and military officials to discuss confiscating Military power, appointing relatives of the Cao family as the leaders of the army. Xu Xuan, the prefect of Wei County, objected loudly: "In the past, the king of Wei employed people regardless of their origin, status, region, relatives or enemies. Now, the new master only uses relatives. I don't know why? Everyone

Thanks to the favor of the king of Wei, we have already worked together to manage the state affairs, if the new master employs people like this, what is the use of us staying?" Cao Pi saw that Xu's declaration was justified, so he said: "Prefect Xu really has far-sightedness, and I will follow your advice." Cao Pi followed his father's employment system, which made the domestic situation very peaceful. In the winter of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Pi abolished the Han Dynasty, established himself as Emperor Wen of the Great Wei, named Cao Cao Emperor Wu, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Huangchu.

After Cao Pi became emperor, he didn't think that his throne was stable. He heard from his cronies that Cao Zhi recruited a large number of literati to create rumors about him, saying that he relied on conspiracy to let his father stand. He is the heir, and Cao Zhi is the real heir.Cao Pi was furious after hearing this, and wanted to get rid of Cao Zhi in his heart to consolidate his imperial power. One day, Cao Pi had a banquet with his concubine Guo Shi.This Guo family is beautiful and charming, with a figure of Ana, and the lustful Cao Pi dotes on her very much.But Guo was jealous, and Cao Pi's queen, Zhen, always wanted to find a chance.

He will speak ill of her in front of Cao Pi.A jester told Guo Shi that Zhen Shi had an unclean relationship with Cao Zhi, and Guo Shi couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this. It was very late at night, after Mrs. Guo dedicated her beautiful body to Cao Pi for lewd pleasures, while he was still thinking about it, she said to him: "Your Majesty, your favorite Mrs. Zhen has been unfaithful to you! " Cao Pi was a little surprised, but immediately relieved.He knew that the empress and concubine wanted to speak ill of each other because of jealousy. Seeing that he was surprised first and then calmed down, Mrs. Guo made a serious look and said, "Someone said that your third brother had an affair with her."

Cao Pi was taken aback.Zhen is the wife of Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi, and she is extremely beautiful.After Cao Pi was fascinated by him, he tried his best to snatch it from Yuan Xi.Zhen's age now A little bigger, the color faded a bit, so Cao Pi gave her up. Hearing that his brother Cao Zhi had an affair with the Zhen family, Cao Pi hated the versatile Cao Zhi to the bone, and he said a vicious sentence: "You are so bold, I don't care about the feelings of flesh and blood. up. " In fact, Cao Zhi has no physical relationship with Zhen.But when Cao Zhi saw his sister-in-law Zhenshi when he was ten years old, he was also fascinated by her beauty. Because she was his elder brother's wife, he couldn't win her love, so he secretly

In love with Zhen Shi.Because of Cao Zhi's straightforward personality and sincere words, he confided this secret to his friends after being drunk once.Thus, the secret was leaked out. In order to get rid of Cao Zhi, Cao Pi quietly sent spies to monitor.Soon, someone accused Cao Xiong, who was named Xiao Huaihou at the time, of rebellion, and Cao Pi took the opportunity to say that Cao Zhi was also involved in his actions. Among them, Cao Zhi, who was named Marquis of Linzi at that time, was arrested, but Cao Xiong committed suicide in fear of crime.When Cao Zhi was escorted to the capital, their mother Bian was shocked when she heard the news, so she called Cao Pi to train him.

He reprimanded: "Your heart is too cruel to persecute your brothers regardless of your close relatives!" Cao Pi stood with his head bowed, speechless, and Bian ordered him to release Cao Zhi.Cao Pi obeyed on the surface, but wanted to depose Cao Zhi as a commoner. Cao Pi summoned Cao Zhi to the palace and said to him: "Although you and I are brothers and belong to the monarch and ministers, you rely on your talents and let no one see you. In the past, when the emperor was in Japan, you often used articles To show it off to others, but many people think that you are asking someone to write it for you. Now I will ask you to recite a poem within seven steps. If you can do it, you will not die. If you can’t, then you are usually

Hypocrisy and deceit, I will definitely punish you heavily and will never forgive you. " Cao Zhi's expression was dull, and he said disdainfully: "Please give me a title." Cao Pi saw an ink painting hanging on the hall, showing two bulls fighting under the wall, and one cow fell to his death in a well, so he said: "This painting is the title, but it is not allowed to have 'two bulls fighting under the wall, one cow fell to the well and died'." words. " Cao Zhi calmed down and walked seven steps, reciting: The two meats are on the same level, with concave bones on the head.

When they meet at the bottom of the convex mountain, they suddenly confront each other. The two enemies are not both strong, and the other is lying in a cave. It's not that the strength is not as good as it is, and the arrogance will not be vented. Sure enough, Cao Zhi recited a poem within seven steps, which made Cao Pi, who was originally a poet, restrain his hatred a little, but his poetic enthusiasm flourished. He stood up and said, "then again With the title 'Brother', the word 'Brother' is not allowed in the poem. " Cao Zhi didn't think about it at this time, and didn't take a step, and said in his mouth:

Boiled beans are used as soup, and fermented soybeans are used as juice. The skip is burned under the cauldron, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They are born from the same root, why rush to fry each other! Cao Pi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.He silently recited the sentence "It is born from the same root, so why is it too urgent to meet each other", and he couldn't help crying. Although Cao Pi spared Cao Zhi's death penalty, he still demoted him as Marquis of Anqing, and he went out of Beijing on a short day. Cao Zhi bid farewell to his friends in Beijing, his mother felt sad, and hoped that Anqing would leave.On the way, he heard the news that Cao Pi had bestowed the death of the Zhen family.Cao Zhi was distraught when he heard the news. In the third year of Huangchu, after Cao Zhi visited Cao Pi from Luoyang, he returned to his fiefdom and passed by Luoshui. After hearing the story about the goddess of Luoshui, he thought of the beautiful Zhen family, and was inspired to write "Luo River". God Fu". Since Cao Cao established his son, the struggle between the Cao brothers has existed. After Cao Cao passed away, the conflict between the brothers almost met each other. Will you rest in peace? Although the Cao brothers inherited their father's literary talents, they are far behind in military affairs and political affairs!
