Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 491 Wei Wu dies of illness

In July of the third year of Jianye's reign, I went to the palace in Luoyang.

In the side hall, the woman's strange angry sound came from the house, accompanied by the sound of Cao Pi laughing.

"No!"

"It's okay, there's no one here today!"

"Don't~"

Cao Pi's restless hands were caressing Sun Ying's slender waist. The Hanfu, as thin as a cicada, could not stop Cao Pi's movements. His hot palms reached into the compartment of the robe and caressed the smooth, silky skin.

Listening to Cao Pi's breathing in her ear, Sun Ying stayed awake and tried hard to break free from Cao Pi's arms, but Cao Pi held him in his arms, making it difficult for her to break free.

Cao Pi's hand moved up, about to lift Yunlui's heart and wanted to touch her.

Suddenly, Sun Ying's eyes filled with tears and she said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is still here!"

Sun Ying wiped away her tears and said: "I am His Majesty's concubine, but I am having an affair with His Majesty. If His Majesty finds out that Your Highness is still alive, it will be difficult for me to survive."

Cao Pi's hand suddenly stopped at first, as if he was afraid of something, then he touched it unceremoniously and said, "I will be your majesty in the future!"

Sun Ying cried silently and looked very sad.

At this time, Wei Zhen came in from outside the palace and said: "There is news from the scouts in Wuhan City that Guan Yu died of illness at home last month due to an arrow wound that could not be healed for a long time. Liu Bei personally mourned Guan Yu and paid homage to the Duke of Hanshou County, with the posthumous title Yuan Gong. .”

"No!"

Sun Ying's delicate body trembled, she burst into tears and said, "Your Highness, don't you want me to die?"

The two of them leaned together for a few moments before Sun Ying walked out of the palace. Except for the redness of her eyes, she was almost as usual as before.

Cao Cao, who was seriously ill, had poor eyesight, but his ears were very sensitive. He heard Sun Ying's changes and asked, "Why is my concubine crying?"

Sun Ying entered the main hall holding the medicinal soup and said with a nasal voice: "Your Majesty, please use the medicine!"

Hearing this, Sun Ying's face changed slightly. She wiped her eyes and pretended to be sad: "I see that Your Majesty has not been cured for a long time and his condition is getting worse. How can I not feel sad for him?"

When Cao Pi saw the beauty crying, he hurriedly hugged Sun Ying and asked with pity, "Why did Ying'er say this?"

Cao Cao's eyes were blurred and he could not see anything. He groped for Sun Ying's hand and sighed slightly, saying: "The sage said, 'I have sinned against Heaven, and I have nothing to pray for.' Now that my life is about to end, there is nothing human beings can do to change it. There is no need to be sad. If I die of illness, I can make you worry-free about food and clothing."

After that encounter in the medicine house, Cao Pi searched for Sun Ying everywhere in the name of getting medicine, creating opportunities to meet her. Sun Ying was not a good man, but a scheming daughter. Knowing that Cao Cao was about to die, she wanted to make plans for the future. Now that Cao Pi came to visit, how could Sun Ying not hook up with him?

"His Majesty!"

Such Green Tea's remarks aroused Cao Pi's compassion. He hugged Sun Ying tightly and said, "Don't worry, Ying'er, Gu is here. If you don't let me down, how can I let you down?"

Lang was interested in having a concubine, but under Sun Ying's deliberate pull, Cao Pi finally established a relationship with Sun Ying. Today is the first time the two have a tryst in the palace. Sun Ying continues to use words to seduce Cao Pi for the sake of her own future. Cao Pi was fascinated by Sun Ying and made many promises.

After saying that, Sun Ying lay in Cao Pi's arms and cried, saying: "My father sent someone to the palace because of his greed for wealth and honor. I am lucky enough to meet a good man, but I can't get along with him. This day I want to punish my concubine!"

Sun Yingcai blocked Cao Pi's mouth with her fingers and said with tears: "The matter between Your Highness and my concubine is unforgivable in heaven and earth. Your Highness is the king of the world, how can you do something that will destroy your reputation? I know that my sins are serious, and I am willing to serve you. I will be punished on behalf of His Highness. If Your Highness loves my concubine, I will allow you to live in a quiet palace. If Your Highness has free time, it will be nice if you can stay at home and pamper your concubine."

"Ying'er must be a virtuous person!" Cao Pi praised.

The lust in Cao Pi's heart immediately dissipated, and he comforted her in a low voice: "Don't cry, Ying'er. I am the prince, and I will be the emperor soon. At that time, I can welcome my beloved concubine into the palace and share the wealth and honor of the world."

After talking to each other, Sun Ying tidied up Cao Pi's collar and said softly: "Although your Majesty is seriously ill on the bed, your Majesty must not act hastily. If your Majesty finds out, I am afraid that your position as the crown prince will not be guaranteed. Wait for it." Your Highness succeeds to the throne, and this concubine belongs to you!"

"what!"

Cao Cao, who was leaning on the cushion, raised his head and exclaimed, "Yun Chang is dead!"

Wei Zhen bowed his waist, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the army to attack Liao has set off on time. The vanguard has passed Guzhu, and we may be able to return to the capital soon with good news."

Cao Cao shook his hand and motioned for Wei Zhen and Sun Ying to go out.

Looking up at the wooden beam with blurred eyes, Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into memories.

Thinking of the wars in the north and south over the past thirty years, and the enemies and friends I have encountered.

Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao, Yuan Shu, Bian Rang, Chen Gong, Guan Yu, Liu Bei...

"Hey!"

Cao Cao sighed silently: "The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night."

Cao Cao was mumbling words, but he fell asleep due to illness and gradually fell asleep again.

Suddenly, Cao Cao, who was sleeping, had a splitting headache and seemed to wake up from his dream, only to see Guan Yu appearing in front of him.

Leading the red horse, Guan Yu held his palm and clasped his fists, and said: "I have received a great reward from Duke Cao, but it is difficult for me to repay it while I am still alive. Now I am about to travel to Jiuyou, and Yu is willing to give you a ride."

"No!"

Cao Cao shouted in fear, waved his hands, and said, "Yun Chang, I'm not dead yet, and I haven't entrusted my funeral affairs yet!"

"Mr. Cao!"

Guan Yu's expression remained unchanged, as if he was waiting for Cao Cao to go on his way. "No!"

Cao Cao suddenly woke up from his bed and gasped for air. When he saw Guan Yu in front of him, he was convinced that he had woken up from his sleep.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao suddenly felt his ears ringing and his heart was confused. He had a splitting headache and lay on the couch moaning softly.

Seeing this, the attendants on the left and right hurriedly came forward, helped Cao Cao cover himself with the quilt, and rubbed his head.

As the severe pain dissipated, Cao Cao found that his eyes were dark and he could not see anything.

Thinking about what happened in his sleep again, Cao Cao felt that his years were coming to an end, so he gasped and said, "Come here, tell the prince and the ministers to come to the palace. I have something urgent to ask of you."

"promise!"

After a while, Hua Xin, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Dong Zhao and other senior officials came outside the palace, where Wei Zhen was waiting at the door.

Jia Xu stepped forward and asked, "How is your Majesty's condition today?"

Wei Zhen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty heard that Guan Yu died of illness. He had nightmares when he fell asleep. When he woke up, his headache became more severe and it was difficult to see."

"This~"

The expressions of Jia Xu and everyone else changed slightly. Cao Cao's condition was becoming increasingly pessimistic. This time he called them into the palace to discuss his funeral.

Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Dong Zhao and others did not dare to delay and rushed into the palace.

At the same time, Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang, Xia Houru and other Cao family generals embraced Cao Pi to the palace, and entered the palace together with Jia Xu, Chen Qun and other civil servants.

In the palace, Cao Cao saw people coming one after another, and with the help of his attendants, he leaned on the high pillow.

"I pay my respects to your majesty. I wish your majesty a long life and may your illness be gone soon."

About twenty people knelt in front of Cao Cao's bed, cupped their hands and bowed.

Cao Cao looked at the people kneeling on the ground, tried his best to keep his breath, and said: "I~"

"I have called the prince and all the ministers here to take care of my future affairs."

Chen Qun straightened his waist and cupped his hands, saying, "I hope your Majesty will take good care of your body and you may recover soon."

"It won't work!"

Cao Cao waved his hand feebly and said: "In the past, the Han Dynasty was unruly, and all the heroes rose up together. I held the three-foot sword and dominated the world for more than thirty years. All the heroes were destroyed, and China returned to a peaceful era. However, Liu Bei was the only one in the south who never Exterminate. Today, my body is getting weaker and weaker, and I cannot join forces with the ministers to defeat the thieves. I want to entrust each other with the affairs of my family and country."

"The eldest son Cao Ang has a good temperament, but unfortunately he lost Wancheng in the battle. Now Empress Bian has four sons: Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong. The prince Pi is filial, respectful, and an expert in civil and political affairs, so he can inherit my legacy. The remaining sons, You may be appointed as an official, or you may move to a feudal country. I hope you will have a good life and assist the prince, and do not forget your kindness."

"promise!"

All the officials paused, wept and accepted the order.

As he spoke, Cao Cao asked Cao Pi to come forward and warned: "Liu Bei is in the south of the Yangtze River. Although his martial arts is not as good as that of Gao and Shi, he can obey others. He is determined to be in China and should not be in a hurry. After my death, Liu Bei's habits will He will surely raise his troops to advance northward to gain advantage."

"Now that we have Xiangfan, we can see Heluo and Guanzhong. Wancheng blocks the main route of the Northern Expedition. If it is captured by Liu Bei, the Central Plains and Guanzhong will be shaken. However, Liu Bei is short-sighted and has no long-term vision. He recruits troops for far-reaching expeditions and has many food routes. It's hard to save. If the prince has no plan to defeat the thieves and defends with regular troops, but surprise troops attack the grain road, Liu Bei will definitely retreat!"

"Shuchun is the barrier of Henan. If Shouchun is lost, Henan will be a scorched earth; Qishan is the key point of the Long Road, which is more than a thousand miles long. If Bashu wants to attack Guanlong, the grain road will be blocked by Qishan; Wancheng is the gateway to Heluo. If Wancheng is lost, Ying and Luo will be in danger. If the prince keeps these three places, the Wei Dynasty will be safe."

As he spoke, Cao Cao's breathing became more rapid. He held Cao Pi's hand and said: "Today, the war is beginning to calm down. The people in a state are not as good as the household registration of an old county. Therefore, since I succeeded to the throne, I have been recuperating with the people. China has a vast territory and a large population. In the south of the Yangtze River, if the prince follows the example of Emperors Wen and Jing and governs for twenty years, his descendants will surely be able to rule China again."

"Please remember this!" Cao Pi replied, wiping his tears.

"Come out!"

"promise!"

Cao Pi led all the ministers of Cao and Wei out of the palace, leaving their seats to the wives and concubines who came to receive the decree.

Sun Ying and the other concubines knelt down and cried loudly. Queen Bian sat on the side of the couch, crying silently.

Cao Cao held Bian's hand tightly, looked at the concubines kneeling on the ground, and said weakly: "China is in peace at the beginning, and everything is waiting for prosperity. It is not suitable to spend too much time on food and enjoyment. After my death, except for the queen, the other concubines will each receive money and food." , returned to Tongquetai, worked diligently as a female worker, made more shoes, and used them to buy money and grain. He was self-sufficient and should not increase or waste the people's strength."

"promise!"

All the concubines cried incessantly, and stepped forward to receive their share of the money and food, and then silently withdrew.

After everyone left, Cao Cao couldn't see anything. He touched Bian's aging face and said sadly: "The queen is usually virtuous and frugal, but I have treated you badly. Now that I have died of illness, I should urge the prince to be virtuous and capable. This is absolutely impossible. Illegal things. People say that a virtuous wife will prosper for three generations. Whether my family, Cao, can be virtuous and prosperous, I will only look forward to the queen from now on."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Mrs. Bian wiped her tears and replied: "I will have a good life and supervise the prince!"

"Heyang Guozhi·Wei Xianzhu Zhi":... July of the third year of Jianye. The late master died in Luoyang at the age of sixty-six. The legacy order said: "If the world is not at peace and there is a day of mourning, the generals and troops garrisoned will not be allowed to leave the garrison." There are divisions and each has a duty. 'His posthumous title is Emperor Wu. In August, he was buried in Gaoling.

Xiwang Can's "Heroes" said: At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, heroes and heroes rose up together, Yuan Shaohu occupied Heyang, and he was powerful and invincible. Cao Cao strategized, whipped the world, Wuchao defeated Yuan Shao, and then conquered eight states in China, and captured the hearts of Heyang. He and Zhongzu each had their own strengths, so they divided the world, and they were powerful weapons.

However, Cao Cao was violent and cruel, and he slaughtered without scruples, killing hundreds of ministers by killing his queen. Therefore, although he was prosperous for a while, he eventually lost China like Ying and Xiang because of their lack of integrity.

It is said: The river is like the people, and the boat is like the king; the water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it. If you gain the right path, you will get many help, but if you lose the right path, you will get few help. This is the common law of heaven. The reason why Ji Han was reborn and the Cao family fell was because of Cong Si Li!
