Monument Yangmen

Chapter 943 Holy Son of Heaven

A group of eunuchs, led by the leader of the middle officials, entered Cao Wei's tent of the Chinese army.

Each of them held a box in their hands, seven of them in total.

Holding the imperial decree in his hand, the leader of the Zhongguan moved to Cao Wei.

"Cao Wei received the order..."

Cao Wei's eyes fell on the seven boxes, his heart was beating, as if a haze had enveloped his heart, he ignored the etiquette, and shouted coldly: "Read!"

The leader of the Zhongguan hesitated for a moment, and unfolded the imperial decree.

"The edict said... I have decided to pass it on to the third son Wei, so as to inherit the great rule..."

Cao Wei stood up at some point, and he was not happy that Cao Bin passed on the throne to him.

Instead, he looked at the seven boxes with growing panic.

He staggered to get close to the seven boxes, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.

"what is that……"

Cao Wei pointed at the box and asked in a trembling voice.

The leader of the Zhongguan lowered his head, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Cao Wei, "After reading your Majesty's letter, you will know..."

"Shu~"

Cao Wei snatched the letter from the chief official's hand and quickly opened it.

The letter Cao Bin left to Cao Wei was very long.

Cao Wei's liver and gallbladder split when he saw it.

After a long time, he dropped the letter, stared at the seven boxes in disbelief, and growled in a trembling voice, "In order to force me to ascend the throne, he...he killed my other brothers?"

The leader of the middle officials straightened up slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is also doing this for the sake of our Shu Kingdom's ten thousand-year foundation..."

"Wannian Foundation?"

Cao Wei screamed, threw himself in front of the box, and roared with tears, "For this bullshit ten thousand year foundation, I will kill my brother. That is my brother, my own brother, and his own son. How dare he ?! How could he?!"

"what!"

"what!"

Cao Wei growled.

The heart-piercing pain was like a raging fire burning in his chest.

No one can understand the pain in his heart.

He roared like a madman in the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Cao Bin! Cao Bin! I hate you! I hate you!"

"Ah~"

He didn't know when the sword was already in his hand, and he put the sword on his neck.

"Your Highness can't!"

The leader of the Zhongguan rushed over and hugged Cao Wei.

The other eunuchs also rushed forward.

Cao Wei's sword was taken away, and the eunuchs pressed on him to prevent him from drawing his sword and committing suicide.

The soldiers outside the camp, as well as the officials who were waiting for the new emperor's edict, all rushed in at once.

Cao Wei was knocked out.

However, the scandal about the royal family's forcing a son to take over the position has also spread.

……

Outside the Shu Kingdom.

Yan Guozhong army tent.

Yang Qi is having a banquet with Yang Liu who has just resigned.

The two brothers have not seen each other for many years, and both of them have aged a lot.

While drinking, Yang Liu told Yang Qi what he had seen and heard overseas in these years.

Yang Qi listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

Sudden.

Peng Pai broke into the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Why are you so reckless?"

The conversation between the two brothers was interrupted by Peng Pai's sudden appearance, Yang Qi frowned displeased.

Peng Pai didn't care about the impoliteness, he exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the frightened bird has returned..."

"Scary bird?!"

Yang Qi stood up suddenly, with a look of astonishment.

Jingniao has a special status, and if he can force Jingniao to do something that does not conform to his status, something big must have happened.

"Where are the people?"

"Wounded Barracks!"

Yang Qi hurriedly said: "Lead the way ahead!"

Yang Qi cupped his hands to Yang Liugong, "Sixth Brother, I'll be back as soon as I go."

Yang Liu returned the salute without saying much.

Guided by Peng Pai, Yang Qi arrived at the wounded barracks, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

Jing Niao was lying on the bed, seriously injured in body and hands, wounded by guns and swords, all of them.

It was not so easy for him to escape from the Shu army barracks.

Seeing Yang Qi, Jingniao wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by Yang Qi.

Yang Qi walked to the side of the bed, looked at Jingniao's miserable injuries, and said in a deep voice: "What happened, is it worth your life to deliver the letter?"

Jing Niao's pale face trembled and said: "Dead...all dead..."

"What's dead?"

Yang Qi asked.

Jingniao whispered: "Except for Cao Wei, all members of the Cao family are dead..."

"what?!"

Yang Qi looked terrified, and hurriedly said: "How could this happen?"

Jingniao took a few breaths, and continued: "In order to force Cao Wei to inherit the throne, and to make Cao Wei make up his mind to fight my country of Yan. Cao Bin poisoned his other heirs, and committed suicide by taking poison.

Before he died, he wrote down the edict and asked all his sons to be named.

Passed the position to Cao Wei, and asked Cao Wei to fight to the death with Yan Guo. "

"This……"

Yang Qi staggered back a few steps with an expression of disbelief.

"Cao Bin is crazy?!"

If it is non-toxic and not a husband, Yang Qi's ears will grow calluses.

But he didn't expect that a person could be so vicious to this extent.

This has violated the common sense of human nature.

"I... I... I..."

Yang Qi didn't know what to say.

He didn't ask if there was any confusion in the camp of the Shu army after Cao Bin's death, and he didn't give an order for Mu Guiying to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue.

He ran out of the wounded barracks as if fleeing.

Running around aimlessly in the barracks.

Cao Bin became such a lunatic, in Yang Qi's view, he was responsible.

If he hadn't seduced Cao Bin back then and became independent from Dali, he would not have released the monster of power in Cao Bin's heart, let alone lead to today's tragedy.

If Cao Wei held his sword and killed his brother and Cao Bin, Yang Qi would understand to some extent.

After all, in the history books, there are many emperors who killed their brothers and fathers for the sake of the throne.

But he had never heard of the matter of killing other sons in order to force another son to take the throne.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its eggs.

When Yang Qi returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Liu was taken aback.

"Seventh brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Qi's face was very pale, and his lips were trembling.

Yang Liu had never seen Yang Qi in such a frightening situation.

Yang Qi grabbed Yang Liu's arm and said in surprise, "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, did I do something wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

Yang Liu supported Yang Qi, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Yang Qi said in a trembling voice: "In order to force Cao Wei to take over, Cao Bin committed suicide. Before committing suicide, he also killed several other Cao family brothers!"

Yang Liu froze in place as if hit by a huge thunder.

After a long time, he said in horror: "Is he... crazy?!"

Yang Qi asked: "Did I do something wrong?"

Yang Liu put away the shock in his heart, and comforted him in a deep voice: "You are right... What is wrong is people's hearts. The Jin Kingdom was also established with your momentum, so such tragedies did not happen.

The reason why Cao Bin did such outrageous things is because of his selfishness, and it has nothing to do with you. "

Yang Liu supported Yang Qi to sit on the soft couch.

Yang Qi grabbed him, and said in a low voice: "Cao Wei must be in so much pain, he is so sympathetic, but now he is hurt in sympathy."

Yang Liuchang sighed.

"Cao Bin is dead, Cao Wei is afraid that he has no intention of fighting. Should we take the opportunity to send troops, or wait and see what happens."

Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "Let Mu Guiying hang up the exemption card first. I want to be alone."

"Good~"

Yang Liu comforted Yang Qi again, and exited the tent.

Only Yang Qi was left sitting there alone in the tent.

……

Yan Guo did not take the opportunity to rush forward.

This made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty of Shu breathe a sigh of relief.

After several days of persuasion by civil and military personnel, although Cao Wei was still sad, he did not seek death any more.

"Your Majesty, it's time for war, you have to cheer up."

Ping Zhangshi bowed and stood in front of Cao Wei, and said in a mournful voice.

Cao Wei's bloodshot tiger eyes fell on him, and Ping Zhangshi shivered in fright.

"He wanted to pass on the throne to me, and he didn't hesitate to kill my brother for it. I only want my brother, not the throne."

Cao Wei let out a low growl.

Pingzhang crouched on the ground in fright, and said in a low voice: "However, a country cannot live without a king..."

Cao Wei staggered to his feet and said with a wry smile, "Can a country be without a ruler for a day?"

"Hahaha……"

Cao Wei smiled miserably and left the tent.

……

Seven days later.

Cao Wei ordered people to go to the capital to welcome his eldest nephew into the army.

In front of civil and military officials, respect his eldest nephew as emperor.

Cao Can was posthumously named Emperor Taizu of Shu.

In the last three generations of posthumous titles, Cao Bin's name was not seen.

Three days later.

As the regent, Cao Wei left the territory of the Kingdom of Shu, went to the military camp of the Kingdom of Yan, and negotiated peace with the Kingdom of Yan.

In just ten days.

Cao Wei seemed to have aged ten years.

When he said goodbye to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi expressed regret, "Brother?!"

"Brother Seven~"

There was an ugly smile on Cao Wei's face.

Yang Qi stepped forward and pulled Cao Wei back to the army tent.

"It's Seventh Brother, I'm sorry for you..."

Cao Wei shook his head, "I can't blame you, some people are too greedy."

After a pause, Cao Wei said with a wry smile: "He thinks that he can force me to take the position? But he doesn't know that in his heart, Jiangshan Sheji is more important than anything else, and in my heart, even my brother's finger Nothing compares."

"Condolences..."

Cao Wei looked at Yang Qi, and said seriously: "I came here to discuss peace this time, but I begged Brother Qi to agree to something."

Yang Qi said seriously: "You just say it's okay."

Cao Wei looked outside the tent, "I don't want to stay in this Sichuan and Shu land, and I don't want your Majesty and my other nephews to stay in this sad place."

Yang Qi was stunned, "So?"

Cao Wei said in a deep voice, "I want to exchange territory with Seventh Brother."

Yang Qi frowned, and said hesitantly, "You want to exchange the old land of Sichuan, Shu and 36 countries in the Western Regions for the land of the Maurya Dynasty?"

Cao Wei nodded.

Yang Qi was puzzled, "In this way, your Cao family's foundation will be..."

Cao Wei sneered: "He will never understand that as long as the members of the Cao family are around, the Cao family's foundation will not fail."

"Forget it, I promise you."

"Thank you Seventh Brother."

"..."

The territorial replacement between the two countries was completed during such negotiations.

Yang Qi asked Cao Wei to stay, but Cao Wei didn't agree, and immediately returned to the camp of Shu.

Yang Qi and Yang Liu looked at Cao Wei's leaving back and sighed.

"His heart... is dead..."

"Hey……"

The next day.

Yang Qi ordered the soldiers and horses guarding the Maurya Dynasty to withdraw from the Maurya Dynasty as soon as possible.

One and a half months later.

All the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom withdrew from the Maurya Dynasty, and they gave Cao Wei an excuse to lead the old troops of the Shu Kingdom to the Maurya Dynasty.

Yang Qi didn't know what would happen to the people of Shu after they came to the Mauryan Dynasty.

But with the retreat of the soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Shu.

The land of Sichuan and Shu, as well as the old land of the 36 countries in the Western Regions that Shu invaded, all fell into the hands of Yan.

Yang Qi immediately led the soldiers and horses, and the squad returned to the court.

Wherever he went, the people of Yan Kingdom lined the road to welcome them and celebrate the addition of new lands to Yan Kingdom.

But no one knows how much bitterness is buried under this new soil.

After being defeated in the battle along the Yangtze River, Cao Bin realized that he was doomed to provoke Yan.

But he did not give up even to death.

He used his own life and the life of his son to force out an eternal emperor.

But he misunderstood Cao Wei's thoughts.

Cao Wei is willing to give up the foundation of the Shu Kingdom, and he is unwilling to sit on the throne full of brothers' blood.

In the end, Cao Can's son, Cao Xiu, the eldest grandson of the emperor, ascended the throne.

Land exchange between Yan and Shu.

It seems that the Shu Kingdom suffered a loss.

But in fact, it was Yan Guo who suffered the disadvantage.

The Kingdom of Shu is in the Han area. Except for Sichuan, Dali, and a large grassland, which is relatively rich, the rest of the country is full of dust.

However, in the Maurya Dynasty, Yan State had a land three times larger than this.

But Yang Qi didn't care about this matter.

Instead, he happily agreed to Cao Wei's request.

When Yan Jun returned to Yanjing City, it was already the end of the 19th year of Qianyuan.

Mu Guiying resigned from the position of marshal, and entered the palace with Yang Zongwei as the princess.

After Cao Lin learned of the tragic death of her father and brother, she burst into tears and passed out several times.

In view of the tragedy of the Cao family, Lao Yang ordered Yang Qi to recall his sons who were away, and to give them some advice.

In the 19th year of Qianyuan, the twelfth lunar month.

The sons of the Yang family returned to Yanjing City.

Under Lao Yang's seat, the brothers had a drink and chatted a lot.

No one knows what the brothers talked about.

Only after their brothers chatted.

Yang Da, Yang Er, Yang San, Yang Wu, Yang Liu, five people, successively passed the throne to the eldest son.

However, the son went to their fief after fighting.

Yang Da's fief was re-divided and assigned to the old land of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and he was with the Zhe family.

Yang Er's fief was set up in Seoul.

Yang San's fief was set up in Koryo Mansion.

Yang Wu's fief was set up in Ryukyu and other places.

Yang Liu's fief was established in the newly established Dongdao Prefecture (formerly Wa Kingdom).

The five brothers forced their son to fief the land, and they dismissed all the officials and titles, and stayed in Yanjing City to accompany their parents.

In the 19th year of Qianyuan, the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

The generals who expedition to the Holy Roman Empire returned to the court and were appointed.

In the 19th year of Qianyuan, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
