Chapter 392: Three Kingdoms: Cao Pi usurps the Han Dynasty
[Yanling Marquis Cao Zhang led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to attend the funeral. Cao Pi sent Jia Kui as a lobbyist, who designed a plan to confiscate Cao Zhang's soldiers and horses and ordered him to return to Yanling to defend himself.
However, Linzi Marquis Cao Zhi did not come to mourn, so Cao Pi was furious and sent an envoy to question him.
When the messenger came, Cao Zhi completely ignored the messenger, continued drinking by himself, and even danced with Er Ding.
The messenger asked Cao Zhi why he did not go to the funeral, but Ding Yi was indignant and asked him, "How can you punish your own flesh and blood when the late king has just passed away?"
Cao Zhi ordered his men to beat the messenger out with sticks.
When Cao Pi learned about this, he ordered Xu Chu to bring Cao Zhi to see him by force.
Mrs. Bian sat in front of the bed and cried, asking Cao Pi whether he wanted to force Cao Zhi to death. Cao Pi explained that he just wanted to punish his arrogant temperament.
Cao Pi accepted the advice of his adviser Hua Xin and ordered Cao Zhi to recite a poem within seven steps. If he succeeded, he would be spared from death; if he failed, he would be severely punished.
Cao Pi: "We are brothers, so let's use 'Brothers' as the title, but the word 'Brothers' cannot appear in the poem."
Cao Zhi stood up slowly, tears in his eyes.
One step, two steps...
"Boil beans and burn the bean pods."
Two steps, three steps...
"The beans are crying in the cauldron."
Five steps, six steps...
"We are of the same roots, but we are fighting against each other..."
Seven steps...
"Why are you so anxious to fight each other?"
Cao Zhi was demoted by Cao Pi to the title of Marquis of Anxiang, and he bid farewell to his mother and returned to his territory.
＜Alas, now that Boss Cao is gone, the Three Kingdoms has become boring……＞
＜The second generation is online. I personally think the ranking of the second generation should be: Sun Quan > Cao Pi > Liu Chan. ＞
＜I have no objection to the last one, but Sun Quan and Cao Pi are mixed up, Cao Pi is more powerful than Sun Quan,＞
＜Cao Zhang is also a straightforward and simple man, and he brought 100,000 soldiers and horses with him to attend the funeral [dog head] Your brother Cao Pi inherited your father's suspicious character. I suspect that Cao Zhang's sudden death in the palace was caused by Cao Pi.＞
＜No, Cao Pi was quite good to Cao Zhang, and he was later named King of Rencheng, although he died three years later.＞
＜It is a circle to say this. Cao Rui had no offspring, so the offspring of Cao Zhang were enthroned.＞
＜The Cao family is really a brotherly and respectful family hahaha, good brothers! ＞
＜It’s not right to come, and it’s not right not to come. It’s so hard to be Cao Pi’s brother [covering face]＞
＜Cao Zhi is really a good son of Mr. Cao. After my father died, I drank and danced to cheer him up.＞
＜《Famous Scholars of Wei and Jin Dynasties》＞
＜Cao Xiong was a coward by nature. Because he did not attend the funeral, Cao Pi sent people to question him, and he died of fear.＞
＜Actually, I think Cao Pi treated Cao Zhi well. After all, he knew that Cao Zhi was really talented. The mere seven-step poem seemed to be just to teach Cao Zhi a lesson. Maybe it was really like what he said, to let Cao Zhi know that he should not be arrogant. He didn't really want to kill him.＞
＜Yes, it was just to give him a way out, but people in later generations said that Cao Pi was jealous of Cao Zhi [covering his face]＞
＜How could Cao Pi, one of the Three Caos, not have a high level of literary accomplishment? It’s just that he likes to write poems about women’s complaints [covering his face] and his achievements are not as high as his father Cao Cao and his brother Cao Zhi.＞
＜My Brother the Prince of Wei and My Genius Brother＞
＜When cooking beans, the bean stalks are burned. The beans in the pot are crying, we all have the same father, why do you want to kill me!＞
＜There is only one stone of talent in the world, but Zijian alone has eight buckets!＞
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: My son is better than the God of War Sun Shiwan of Hefei!]
[Sun Ce in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Brothers are friendly and younger brothers are respectful"]
[Yuan Shao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Humph, Cao Mengde, your sons are not that great.]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: People in later generations are just making up stories based on hearsay.]
[Zhou Yu, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: If you didn't do such a thing, why would you catch wind and shadow?]
……
"Well, if you really miss me, why would you use such an excuse? People in later generations are just making wild guesses." Cao Zhi pulled Cao Pi's sleeve sensibly, "Don't worry, brother. Father must think so too!"
"It's my bad temper. I won't play with those people anymore."
Cao Pi was moved by these words. You know, he was shocked when he heard what Hua Xin said on the screen.
If I really bear the crime of killing my brother...
Unforgivable.
...
Cao Cao sighed. Judging from what he saw on the screen, it seemed that his sons were not as capable as Sun Quan.
Cao Pi was indeed the son who was most like him, but he only learned to be suspicious, but not to make good use of other aspects.
That remains to be seen.
"If I had a son, I'd want him to be like Sun Zhongmou. I understand why this sentence was said."
……
I have heard that Cao Pi asked Cao Zhi to compose a poem in seven steps. Regardless of whether this is true or not, it is a fact that the Cao brothers were not in harmony.
Cao Xiong died because he was worried about his brother's questioning, and Cao Zhang also died unclearly later...
Liu Bei suddenly felt relieved...Although Adou's talents were not as good as Cao and Sun, at least he was reassuring in this respect.
……
【“Since the King of Wei ascended the throne, his virtue has spread to all directions, and his benevolence has extended to all living things, surpassing the ancients and the present…Everyone says that the Han Dynasty has come to an end. I hope Your Majesty will follow the way of Yao and Shun and abdicate the throne to the King of Wei…I have decided to do so, and I am here to make this request.”
All the ministers looked up at Emperor Xian of Han, who was panicked and helpless.
Cao Hong and Cao Xiu held swords and forced Emperor Xian of Han to come to the court. Cao Jie angrily cursed, "God does not bless me!" and left.
"You have been enjoying the Han salary for a long time, how could you bear to do such a disloyal thing!" Emperor Xian of Han asked his ministers half crying.
"I am afraid that a quarrel will break out any day, and it is not because we are disloyal to Your Majesty."
Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, sat down blankly and asked, "Who dares to kill me?"
"Everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty does not have the blessing of a benevolent monarch, which has led to chaos in all directions. If it were not for the King of Wei, there would be more than one person who would kill Your Majesty." Hua Xin pressed on step by step.
Several ministers walked over the steps to Liu Xie and asked him, "Are you going to abdicate or not?"
All the ministers forced him to do so, but Fu Baolang, who was in charge of keeping the imperial seal, refused to do so and cursed them as traitors and beasts.
Cao Pi was afraid of being branded as a usurper of Han Dynasty, so his adviser Sima Yi suggested that he first submit a letter of resignation after Emperor Xian of Han issued an imperial edict, but Cao Pi refused to accept it.
After three attempts, Cao Pi was able to ascend the throne, named Emperor Xian of Han as Duke of Shanyang, and proclaimed himself the Emperor of Wei.
Thanks to heaven and earth, a strong wind blew up and blew away the candles.
When King Liu Bei of Hanzhong heard that Emperor Xian of Han was forced to death, he became worried and fell ill. Zhuge Liang discussed with his ministers and said that the world could not be without a ruler for a day. He requested Liu Bei to succeed to the throne, but Liu Bei refused.
Zhuge Liang feigned illness and was unable to go out, so Liu Bei came to visit him. Zhuge Liang took this opportunity to persuade Liu Bei to inherit the throne.
In April of the 26th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu and changed the reign title to Zhangwu.
＜《Germany and the Four Directions》＞
＜The petition has been discussed and I am here to inform you, Emperor Xian of Han, that all the real people have turned traitor.＞
＜A man in tears＞
＜I found that the female characters in this story are all very strong! Lady Sun is strong, and so is Cao Jie.＞
＜The ministers present here have been eating Wei rice for several years, and Emperor Xian of Han also ate Cao Wei rice.＞
＜Why did Your Majesty rebel?＞
＜People in the world: It’s me again?! Stop cueing me, I don’t know.＞
＜《Loyal Minister》＞
＜All the officials in the court respected Wei, except for the loyal minister Fu Baolang.
>
＜It’s okay, the same thing happened to the brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao later.＞
＜I watched this episode about Cao Pi usurping the Han Dynasty. Wow, so pretentious.＞
＜I almost laughed my ass off when I saw Sima Yi appear. This is also a case of the saying that the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. The Sima family is watching the rehearsal below. In a few decades, it will be his family's turn.＞
＜If you find this episode unpleasant to watch, I suggest you skip to the next few episodes to watch Sima Zhao's Regicide [dog head]＞
＜Cao Pi was relatively lucky, as he was not killed and lived well for fourteen years.＞
＜The wind rises and the clouds fly, the twenty-four emperors of the Han Dynasty appear.＞
＜Liu Bei in "Resolutely Refusing to Follow" is also very fake.＞
＜If Liu Bei had not proclaimed himself emperor, there would have been no reason for him to march north. If he wanted to march north, he would have had to confront the State of Wei.＞
＜Alas, if Ji Han succeeded, Cao Pi would have been the second Wang Mang.＞
＜Ji Han only has one river left, it’s too difficult.＞
＜After struggling for most of his life, the emperor's uncle finally became the emperor.＞
＜At this time, Sun Quan was the King of Wu of Wei [dog head]＞
[Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: The court is full of traitors and villains.]
[Huo Qubing, the sixth year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty: The leader is really hateful!]
[Emperor Guangwu of Han Liu Xiu: Alas!]
[Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang: Four hundred years is enough.]
……
"It's still worth it. The Han Dynasty lasted for 400 years." Liu Bang was very open-minded. He originally thought that the Han Dynasty would be like the Qin Dynasty, or perhaps a little better than the Qin Dynasty, but it was indeed unexpected that it would last for 400 years.
Knowing that the Han Dynasty was dead was one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes was another.
Liu Che pointed at Hua Xin on the screen and said, "This old man has no good heart. He is a treacherous villain and a flatterer. With his behavior, I think this is the fate of Cao Wei."
"No wonder it was usurped by the Sima family again."
Liu Xiu sighed deeply. The time before the Eastern Han Dynasty would be destroyed as the light curtain said was still a long one. This was not something he should consider at the moment.
He needed to think carefully about why the emperor's life span was so short afterwards.
Another reason for the corruption in the Eastern Han Dynasty was that the emperors had short lives. Since Liu Xiu knew the reason, he would never repeat the same mistake again.
……
Having witnessed the fall of the Han Dynasty with their own eyes, people during the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty were in turmoil.
Yuan Shao was somewhat unconvinced and even annoyed. If he had listened to the opinions of Tian Feng and others before, the person on the light curtain who accepted the abdication of Emperor Xian of Han might have been a member of the Yuan family.
"Cao Mengde, you are truly a thief!"
There was a dark look in Sun Ce's eyes. He had the jade seal in his hand before, and no one would be willing to hand it over after seeing it.
However, for better development, he handed over the seal to Yuan Shu, who ended up in disgrace and his territory was divided up by others.
"Abdicate the throne, the Han Dynasty will soon come."
The people living during the Jian'an period realized more clearly that the Han Dynasty, which had lasted for more than 400 years, was really about to perish.
In the past, they would have felt sad, or even regretful. But now their lives were not good, and all their negative emotions were vented on "Han".
"If the dynasty changes, will our lives be better? Will there still be wars?"
