Chapter 338 Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty has collapsed!

Liu Chan first got married in Chengdu, and then started building the Academy of Sciences non-stop.

In Sheshan, he summoned a talented man, Qing Xuzi, and gave him the important task of developing gunpowder.

Then, he began to order people to study farmyard fertilizer, cement, and farming equipment.
Recruit people from all over the world who are proficient in Mohist techniques to run the machine of the Academy of Sciences with maximum horsepower.

Ten days later, he returned to Chengdu and presided over the examination to select scholars for the martial arts hall.

Just a few days after the matter of the martial arts hall was settled, the reform of the inspection and promotion system was immediately put on the agenda.

It can be said that after Liu Bei recovered from his illness, Liu Chan's small body never had time to stop.

During the day, he devoted himself to strengthening Han China.

What about night?
We must also devote our energy to the continuation of Han China.

Commonly known as handing over public grain.

It wasn't until the Chinese New Year was approaching that I had a moment of free time.

Being a leader is really not easy.

It’s no wonder that there will be so many foolish kings in later generations. It’s easy to be a foolish king, but it’s too tiring to be a wise king and a heroic leader.

Now Liu Chan understands it deeply.

And far away in Yuzhou.

Cao Pi was also constantly planning his plan to usurp the Han Dynasty.

Cao Pi first prepared the work of usurping the Han Dynasty in Luoyang.

On October [-]th this year, Zuo Zhonglang took the jade plate prophecy presented by Li Fu and wrote: "Wei Gongzi Huan is ordained by God; it should be in accordance with the prophecy to fulfill the position of heaven and man."

This Wei Gongzi Huan is naturally Cao Pi.

Prophecy is political prophecy. It is combined with the mysterious elements, witchcraft elements, yin and yang and the five elements in the classics to develop the "internal science" in the classics, which is regarded as the secret technique of communication between heaven and man and the change of dynasties.

Since Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Neixue has become a prominent study. It is highly related to Jinwen Jingxue (prophecy). It often uses Confucian classics and disasters and celestial phenomena to communicate with each other to convey mysterious theories such as "the divine right of kings".

However, in order to show that he was not trying to usurp the Han, but had to accept the Chinese's deception, Cao Pi acted righteously and hypocritically rebuked Li Fu, saying:
"How can a person with bad virtue do this? I don't dare to do it!"

Don't say it. Don't say it.

I, Cao Pi, am not virtuous enough, so how can I inherit the deception of the Han Dynasty?

You are trying to hurt me (Zhao Kuangyin wears a yellow robe over his face).

However, after the promulgation and implementation of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, not only Cao Pi wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty and become the emperor, but also the officials of the aristocratic families wanted to change from the official position of the King of Wei to the official position of the world.

Ever since, after just five days.

October 25, [-]th year of Jian'an.

Among the ministers of the King of Wei, Liu Xie, Xin Pi, Liu Ye, Shangshu Ling Huanjie, Shangshu Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Huangmen ministers Wang Ao, Dong Yu and others all came forward and knelt down outside the main hall of the Luoyang palace.

They all paused and beat their chests and said: "I read the report of Zuo Zhonglang, General Li Fu, and studied the words of Tuwei in order to emulate the gods' response. Looking back at ancient times, there is nothing else like this. Therefore, Yao said that the calendar is in the bow, Xuanji According to the way of heaven, before Zhou Wu fought, the red crow held a book; when there was no sign of the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the goddess told the talisman. The ministers and concubines, far and near, are all covered with grass."

These words, combined with Zhou Wu, Qin Emperor, Wang Mang, Yu Shun, and the techniques of changing dynasties since ancient times, are combined into the Sad Ecstasy Palm, which is the strongest move played by Cao Pi.

Moreover, the political backgrounds of the above-mentioned people are extremely complex and have almost no similarities.

Huan Jie was from Sun Jian's old tribe, Chen Jiao was from Chen Deng's old tribe, Chen Qun was from Liu Bei's old tribe, Xinpi was from Yuan Shao's old tribe, Liu Ye was from Liu Xun's old tribe, and Dong Yu was a scholar and Confucian at that time.

Everyone has their own political background and can be regarded as representatives of various interest groups.

This matter was still ordered by Cao Pi to create the political effect of "the world returns to its center".

But in order to let the world know that he was not a usurper, he refused again.

"The paws of plowing oxen are like tigers, and the young weeds are like stubble. There are things that seem to be true and false, and that's it for today. Seeing such things, it is not virtuous to be kind and loyal to me."

Oops.

I am not virtuous enough!

Stop talking.

I, Cao Pi, am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Please don’t harm me!
Then he ordered Shangshu Pushe to announce the official residence, and the Xian envoy heard about it.

Everyone in the world is listening. All the ministers want me to replace the Han Dynasty, but I, Cao Pi, am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Even so, I still cannot replace the Han Dynasty.

Is there anyone in this world who is more loyal to the Han Dynasty than me, Cao Pi?

then
Only five days have passed.

October 25, [-]th year of Jian'an.

Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi also came to blow rainbow farts.

The Taishi system is responsible for astrological calculations and judgment of dynasty fortunes, so Xu Zhi is an authoritative figure in the theory of dynasty change.

He came to persuade him to come in, so of course someone had given him instructions.

I saw Xu Zhi citing scriptures and saying:

'The saint was ordered to be king, and Huanglong saw him on the day of Wuji. '

'The sage compares himself to the world with his virtue, his benevolence and kindness are universal, and he responds to the Qilin's arrival on Wuji's day, and responds to the sage's orders. '

'Han used Wei, and Wei used conquest. '

'The one who represents Chi is Mr. Wei. '

'The Han Dynasty lost the world with Xuchang. '

'The Qi of Xuchang should be high when Tu is high, and when Tu is high, it will be prosperous in Xu. '

All kinds of prophecies and all kinds of auspiciousness popped up in Luoyang.

Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi also introduced the theory of the replacement of five virtues, the stories of Yao, Shun, and Yu, and the stories of Huo Guang and Wang Mang.

However, what is very 'coincidental' is that on that day, the ministers Xinpi and Liu Ye, the regular servants Fu Xun and Wei Zhen, the minister Ling Huanjie, the minister Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, the doctor and the knight captain Su Lin and Dong Ba The others all came up to the table and said:
"I saw that Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi went to the Wei State to receive orders; he was sincere in his orders and humble in his promises. Although Shun, Yu, Tang, and Wen, the righteousness could not be exceeded. The river produced the map, the Luo produced the book, and the sage followed suit."

Then, Cao Pi refused again:

"This is the way to go down to the four directions to show Gu's heart. I heard that during the recent Eastern Expedition, when passing through prefectures and counties, and working in the fields, the people's faces looked hungry, and their clothes were short and brown, and all the sins were caused by Gu. I am ashamed of all the auspiciousness. I am ashamed of my people. From this point of view, my virtue is not worthy of a partial king, so how can I be called an emperor? It is better to stop this discussion. I am not virtuous without respecting you, so that after you pass away, you will be worthy of the gentlemen who come after you."

Stop talking, stop talking (Ma Ke has a long face.)
The people in the world are all hungry, and I, Cao Pi, have no merit, and my virtue is not enough. If you continue like this, you will harm me, and I will not be able to be a gentleman in a hundred years!
Then, the atmosphere of Luoyang's persuasion at this moment has reached a climax.

The governor's censor Zhongcheng Sima Yi, the censor Zheng Hun, Yang Mi, Bao Xun, Wu Zhou and others also wrote letters one after another.

He said: "I read the fortune-telling written by Taishi Cheng Xu Zhi. I heard that the Tang Dynasty was declining, and the destiny was in Yu. Where. Therefore Confucius said: 'If the phoenix bird does not come, the river does not flow out of the map, I am already dead!' Today, the Han Dynasty has declined. Since An, He, Chong, and Zhi, the national line has been repeatedly destroyed, Huan and Ling have been debauched, and Lu has gone. In the public house, it is destiny to go and take care of the ministers and concubines, and I will be uneasy wherever I go."

The officials expressed their enthusiasm. Can Cao Pi agree?
Of course I refused.

Even within ten days, seven royal edicts were issued in a row, asking the ministers not to go to court to persuade them to advance.

Don't hurt me, Cao Zihuan.

Immediately.

Cao Pi then led his troops to leave Luoyang and head towards Xudu.

What good can be accomplished by bringing an army of [-] to Xudu?
Hence.
Han Emperor Liu Xie, who was threatened by Hua Xin, also panicked.

Fearing that he would be dead because he blocked Cao Pi's way, he hurriedly wrote the edict of Zen status.

The book of the imperial edict to the king of Wei states: "In the eleventh month of the 25th year of Jian'an, on Yimao, the emperor said to the king of Wei: "My husband's fate is not good, because the destiny is not ordinary, and the emperors have different surnames. The Han Dynasty is late, and the day has passed." For a long time, I have been entrusted with the emperor’s seal and ribbon, and I will rule over all the kingdoms forever. I respect the power of heaven and hold it in my hands. I will be blessed by heaven forever. How do you respect me?”

Han Emperor Liu Xie also figured it out now.

The people of the world no longer care about Han.

Or it could be that the people in the world who care about the Han Dynasty are no longer with Liu Xie.From the beginning of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, to the Yidai Edict, and now the Cao family's splitting the earth and becoming the king, too many loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty died because of Liu Xie.

He broke too many Han Chen's hearts.

Those officials who really wanted to help the Han Dynasty also knew that Liu Xie had no hope and could not complete the historical mission of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty.

Now they have arrived in Yizhou to assist Liu Bei.

Liu Xie is now a loner in the true sense.

Since he is alone and sitting in the position of emperor, he is not a puppet?
Simply take out this hot potato so that you can spend your remaining years in peace.

As for reviving the Han Dynasty, it is no longer something he, the puppet emperor, can think of.

As soon as the certificate of Zen status was read, all the officials became excited.

Three groups of people, including Cao Pi's party members headed by Huan Jie; the former clan headed by Liu Ruo; and Wei's close servants headed by Wei Zhen, more than a hundred people in succession, persuaded Cao Pi to advance with sincere words, asking Cao Pi to "assume the throne as soon as possible"

At this point, Cao Pi knew that the Zen Dynasty was established, so he returned the seal and ribbon given by the Han Emperor and prepared to launch the next public opinion offensive.

of course
According to the three concessions and three concessions, Cao Pi naturally did not dare to agree immediately before the process was completed.

But refused.

The reason for rejection is still lack of prestige and insufficient virtue.

By this time, Liu Xie was already numb, but he had to cooperate with Cao Pi's performance.

So ever.

After five days.

Liu Xie wrote another letter of credence for the Zen position.

The imperial edict said: "The emperor asked the king of Wei: I sent the emperor to send me a letter from Geng Shen, and I heard about it. I am a Han family with more than [-] years of age, over [-] years of age, and at the end of the number of fortunes, my journey to Zuo has been completed, and my heart has moved. The people are hopeless, and the abolition of heaven has come naturally. Now the great destiny has been stopped, and the sacred weapon should be returned to the holy virtue. It goes against the will of the people, and it is ominous against the heaven. Now the messenger is enshrined with the emperor's seal and ribbon, and he is the king of the throne. There is no reversal. My order is to serve the heaven with my heart."

In order to get Cao Pi to accept it, Liu Xie said directly:

The Han deception has been exhausted. You, Cao Pi, should stop acting against nature and inherit the throne of emperor as soon as possible.

He even sent the emperor's seal directly to Cao Pi.

Buddy
If you want to be the emperor, just do it, don't torture me.

What was Cao Pi's answer?
"He made three concessions but didn't listen, so why bother?"

In a word: No agreement.

Even Cao Pi pretended to be on the watch:

"In this month's letter of Renxu's seal, I have been given the holy order again. I listened to the notice in the book. My liver and gallbladder are trembling, and I am at a loss. I would like to express my love and present my seal to the envoy."

I have low moral character and insufficient abilities. How can I take on such an important position?
No!

No!

Absolutely not!

He also returned the emperor's seal to Liu Xie.

At this time, Cao Ren, who was far away in Runan, also started the traditional art of later generations of the national army.

How many Han troops were killed today, how much lost territory was recovered tomorrow, and the good news was spread to Xudu and Luoyang one after another, making it feel like Han China was like a chicken and a dog with ears.

Even Sun Quan from Jiangdong came to persuade him to advance, and Zang Ba from Xuzhou also came to persuade him to advance and expressed his obedience.

Sun Quan came forward to persuade him to come forward, naturally he didn't think it was a big deal.

After you, Cao Pi, become emperor and ascend the throne, I wonder if Liu Bei and his son will be able to sit still!

Rivers of blood!
He, Sun Quan, will now see the bloodshed in the battle between Han China and Wei State, and he will be able to reap the benefits of being a fisherman in the east of the Yangtze River.

When Zang Ba came forward to persuade him to come forward, he was naturally trying to gain time for his development.

After all, it's just a false name. What if you, Cao Pi, are the ones?
Just give it.

Anyway, I, Zang Ba, want this place.

When I recuperate and run Xuzhou like an iron barrel, even if your Wei State sends troops to come, you can't attack my Wei State. I will be the local emperor myself!
Hence.
With the ministers in the court building momentum, the Wei army was victorious in the expedition, and with the encouragement and compliments of Jiangdong Sun Quan and Xuzhou Zang Ba, Wei King Cao Pi, who had suffered several defeats this year, seemed to become the most powerful, powerful and meritorious minister in the world.

With such a fierce momentum, how could the Han Emperor in Xudu not know about it?

By now, Liu Xie is really numb.

Even though he was reluctant, five days later, Liu Xie issued another Zen edict:
The book issued an edict to the king of Wei, saying: "At the end of the day, Han Zuo, the star is bright, and I am destined to be in charge of the king. I cannot let my master wander over the four seas in one day, and all the plans must be unorganized. Therefore, those who build great projects do not stick to small details and know the destiny." It is not about small things, because Shun accepted the order of great cause without any words of condescension, and the saint reached the festival, which is not the same! Now I am enshrining the emperor's seal and ribbon, and the king has accepted it, in order to answer the world's hope for response."

Ever since, Liu Xie handed the emperor's seal to Cao Pi.

buddy.

Stop pretending and accept it quickly. I, the last emperor, am going to retire.

But
Cao Pi refused again.

He gave another note to Han Emperor Liu Xie:
"I heard that Shun had the honor of being a guest of the four sects, and he received Zen from Tao and Tang Dynasties. Yu had the merit of surviving the country for [-] years, and he inherited the salary from Youyu. I am deceived, and my virtue is not that of the two saints. I am disrespectful to the heaven, and I dare not I am extremely sincere when I hear my order, so I would like to entrust my lord with this letter."

Three concessions and three resignations.

This is the third time.

The ministers were like sharks that smelled the fishy smell, and they stepped forward one after another to get some credit for persuading him to join.

The Prime Minister Hua Xin, the Taiwei Jia Xu, the imperial censor Wang Lang and Jiu Qing all came forward to persuade him to move forward.

Almost in Luoyang and Xudu, anyone who was an official or a prominent figure wrote a form of persuasion to Cao Pi.

Under the fierce public opinion, Cao Pi was waiting for Han Emperor Liu Xie's last letter of credence to the Zen throne.

As a smart puppet, Liu Xie did not disappoint him. Finally, on December [-], he announced his fourth Zen credential.

The book issued an edict to the king of Wei, saying: "In the past, Yao used his virtues to match the heavens and adhered to the importance of Liuhe. He still saw the number of fortunes in the past. He moved to Youyu and entrusted the throne to you, suddenly it was like a relic. Today, I have fulfilled my destiny of Han Dynasty, and I am going to the north. Gu, the emperor's legacy is indeed the great Wei. Now I send the minister to keep the secretariat, and I will tell you that the king will seize the throne as soon as possible, obey the will of heaven and man, and fulfill my great wish."

By this time, the process of usurping the Han Dynasty was finally coming to an end.

Cao Pi, who had done enough acting, stopped pretending and just said one word.

"Can!"

At this moment, the drama of everyone pretending to be confused came to an end.

The first day of the 26th year of Jian'an.

Outside Luoyang City.

The flags are flying, and there are huge crowds of people.

King Cao Pi of Wei ascended the altar to receive Zen. Tens of thousands of officials, princes, generals, Xiongnu Chanyus, and people from the four barbaric dynasties accompanied him and burned sacrifices to the heaven and earth, the five mountains, and the four mountains.

Everyone came together, even barbarians from thousands of miles away. This shows that Cao Pi, the usurper, had been prepared in advance.

Cao Pi personally took Xuan Mu and prayed to God.

"The emperor's minister Pi dared to use Xuanmu Zhao to tell the emperor: four out of twenty in the Han Dynasty, six out of 420 in the year of Jian, the world is poor, the three principles are not established, and the five weaves are wrong. The destiny of the Wei family cannot be abandoned. Rejection, the divine weapon cannot be left in the open for a long time, the ministers cannot be without an owner, and the tens of thousands cannot be without a leader. Only if you have a god, you can enjoy eternal good fortune, and bring hope to the people, so that you can enjoy it in the Wei Dynasty."

After that, he issued an imperial edict to the Three Dukes, taking the 26th year of Jian'an as the first year of Huangchu, and proposed to correct Shuo, change the clothes, change the color, have different emblems, measure the same rules, inherit the soil, and grant a general amnesty to the world. From the time of death to the end, all those who were not allowed to be pardoned will be pardoned. .

From today on, the so-called Han Dynasty will be completely destroyed. At least the Han Dynasty represented by Liu Xie has been destroyed.

Ps:

There should be an extra update tomorrow, probably in the morning, maybe in the evening.

The last day of the month, please vote~
