Shuhan

Chapter 174 Meng De passed away, and the hero ended!

In the city of Xudu.

Outside the Prince Wei's mansion, there were many chariots and horses parked.

Even though the main road in the city of Xudu is spacious, and the parking space for horses and carriages in the palace of King Wei is wide, there are still carriages and horses blocked in the road, making it impossible to advance an inch.

The people who came and went were all civil servants and generals, clan nobles who came to pay homage to Wei Wang Cao Cao.

When the King of Wei entered Xudu, General Cao Ren was asked to do even the greetings on his behalf. There were rumors in the court and alleys, and in the alleys, that the King of Wei was dying and dying of illness. These people came here to meet Cao Cao and find out news. Show loyalty in front of Cao Pi, and be familiar with it.

The old king is seriously ill, and the new king will be established.

In the transfer of power, someone will always go up, and someone will always go down.

What's more, you may lose your life.

Among these officials, they naturally hope that the one who goes up is himself, and the one who goes down is someone else.

At this moment, it is the inner courtyard of Wei Wangfu.

In Cao Cao's room.

There were already three people kneeling beside the couch.

Cao Hong, Jia Xu, Chen Qun.

Cao Cao's face is thin and pale, his skin is loose, his eyes are dull, his forehead is full of wrinkles, his eyebrows are sparse and messy, and he has lost the spirit and sharpness of the past.His eyes were dimmed, and had lost their former sharpness and brilliance.The face was thin and sunken, revealing the prominent cheekbones and jawline.The cheeks are sunken, the skin is loose and bloodless, the lips are dry and cracked, and they are slightly parted weakly, showing a sick and weak state.

Compared with yesterday's state after drinking the medicine, Cao Cao's state today is much worse.

"To call you here today is for Yan Gu's affairs."

Cao Hong's eyes were red, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty is good at protecting the jade body, and he will be Huo Ran soon."

On the side, Chen Qun also said: "Although Your Majesty is sick, as long as you take good care of your body, your body will be fine."

Jia Xu had a gloomy face and did not speak.

"A solitary body, a solitary heart knows itself, you don't need to say any more."

Before dying, Cao Cao could still laugh out loud.

"Lonely ruled the world for more than [-] years, all the heroes were wiped out, only Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Liu Bei and his son in Jingshu were not wiped out.

Gu is critically ill today, and can no longer talk to Qing and others, so I rely on family affairs.

The eldest son Cao Ang, born of the Liu family, unfortunately died in Wancheng in his early years.

Today Bian has four sons: Pi, Zhang, Zhi and Xiong.

The fourth son Zhi, whom Gu loved all his life, was vain, seldom honest, addicted to alcohol and indulgence, so he did not stand up;

The third son, Cao Zhang, is courageous but not scheming;
The fifth son, Cao Xiong, suffered many illnesses.

Only the second son, Cao Pi, is honest and respectful, and can inherit my business, and Qing and others should assist him. "

When Cao Hong and others heard about it, they all wept and accepted their orders.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as there is still a breath left in the end, the son will be safe."

Chen Qun also said: "This subject is on good terms with the prince, so he will definitely do his best to assist you. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Even Jia Xu made a statement at this moment.

"As long as the old man is still alive, he will definitely offer advice to the son and protect the foundation of Wei!"

"Good good."

Cao Cao nodded his head. After talking so much just now, a little tiredness subconsciously rose in his mind.

"Go down and let the lonely rest for a while."

"promise."

Cao Hong, Chen Qun and Jia Xu immediately withdrew from the inner room.

Cao Pi was already waiting outside the door.

"Meet Your Highness."

Cao Hong and others saluted one after another.

"Father's Body"

The sadness in Cao Hong's eyes flashed away, and he said, "Your Majesty is tired, and he said he wants to rest for a while."

Cao Pi nodded.

"I also invite you to rest in the guest house."

Cao Pi ordered people to take Cao Hong, Jia Xu and Chen Qun to the guest house.

At this moment, outside Cao Cao's room, there are already a thousand clan members waiting for him.

The clan still in Xudu, Cao Cao's heirs and others, as well as the female family members of Cao Cao's harem.

At this moment, there is Qi Qiran, who is waiting to see Cao Cao for the last time.

"Your Majesty wants to rest for a while, and you will enter it again after a quarter of an hour."

A room within a room.

After sleeping for a while, Cao Cao not only did not feel better, but felt dizzy. He coughed and quickly lay down.

boom!
Hearing the sound like cracking silk in the room suddenly, Cao Cao was startled, his eyes scanned the room hastily, the sky outside suddenly became gloomy.

Huhuhu~
The winter wind is bitter.

clap clap~
Like snow, like rain, like hail.

At this moment, it was slapping towards the roof.

Da Da Da~
Very noisy.

The living room in the palace, where you can hardly see your fingers, is very gloomy.

"Cao thief, give me back my life!"

"Successful eunuch and ugly, today I am here to claim my life!"

"After you killed the lord, the sky and the summer were ruined, and you ignored the sky, do you know your crime?"

"You are extremely rebellious and treacherous, you are not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, you are actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty, die!"

"Die!"

Cao Cao was horrified and sweated profusely!
Unknowingly, Empress Fu, Dong Guiren, the Second Prince, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and more than [-] people suddenly appeared in front of me. All of them were covered in blood, with hideous faces, standing in the cloud of sorrow, faintly hearing the sound of dying. .

"I can't be killed by life, and I want to be killed by death? Even if you become a ghost, Gu will kill me again!"

Not knowing where the strength came from, Cao Cao stood up, drew his sword from the weapon rack, and slashed at the sky.

puff puff~
Empress Fu and Dong Gui were all decapitated.

But what is frightening is that even though the heads of the two men were separated, the corpses did not fall down, but walked towards Cao Cao step by step.

Those two pairs of pale ghost hands were grabbing towards Cao Cao.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Cao Cao yelled in horror, and waved his hand unconsciously.

Boom~
Suddenly there was a loud sound, shaking the southwest corner of the palace.

The outdoor light is thrown in, and everything seems to pass away.

"Father! Father!"

Cao Pi stepped forward at this moment, looking at Cao Cao with concern.

"Where is Gugu?"

Cao Cao opened his bloodshot eyes and saw the concerned Cao Pi, only to realize that it was just a dream.

Daydreaming.

But this dream was very real, as if it happened right next to me.

"Father, you have been in the room and never went out."

Just now Cao Pi suddenly saw Cao Cao screaming and rushed into the room. Fortunately, Cao Cao just had a nightmare.

"Old, old."

He used to like to kill people in his dreams, but now he is about to be killed in his dreams.

"Father just now, is it a dream?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "It is indeed a nightmare."

He told Cao Pi one by one about the nightmare he had just had.

"Lonely among the soldiers and horses, for more than [-] years, I have never believed in strange things. Why is it like this today?"

Cao Pi thought for a while and said, "Xu Du is very hostile, so my father ordered the Taoist priests to set up a ritual ceremony to drive away ghosts and evil spirits."

Setting up a funeral ceremony?

It is not certain that he will live until then.

"The sage said: If you are guilty of sins against the heavens, you have nothing to pray for. The fate of the lonely heaven is over, can it be saved? There is no need to set up a funeral."

He smiled coldly and said: "Gu can kill them once, but if he enters the underworld and becomes a ghost, he can kill them again!"

Dare to scare me Cao Mengde?

After I become a ghost, I will argue with you again!

Cao Pi opened his mouth, and finally nodded.

"Let them come in. I have some funeral affairs and need to arrange one or two."

After having a nightmare, Cao Cao's body deteriorated a lot.

Just after a short rest, he could dream of a ghost claiming his life. I am afraid that God told him Cao Mengde that your time is numbered.

"promise."

Cao Pi immediately waved his hand, and the clan and female relatives all entered.

Seeing Cao Cao's haggard appearance, everyone immediately covered their faces and wept, and the sound of crying resounded through the hall.

"Gu isn't dead yet!"

Cao Cao roared vigorously, but found that this sound was completely lacking in momentum and weak.

But after all, Meng De has more power, although his words are not imposing, but when everyone hears it, they don't dare to cry anymore.

Cao Cao ordered his servants to take the famous incense that they usually keep, and distribute it to the concubines.

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

It was rare for Cao Cao to have some warmth. He said to the concubines: "After I die, you must work hard as a female worker, make more silk shoes, and sell them to earn money for yourself."

After taking a breath, he said again: "In the future, you can live in the Tongque Terrace. There will be sacrifices every day, and the maids will play music and eat."

When the concubines heard it, they all shed tears, and the crying sounded again.

I don't know whether to cry for Cao Cao or for my undecided future.

Crying again and again, Cao Cao had no strength to reprimand him anymore. He looked at Cao Pi and said:
"The world is not yet stable, and it is not possible to follow the ancient times. After the burial, all clothes will be removed. Those who stationed soldiers are not allowed to leave the headquarters. There are divisions with their own duties. Clothes are collected in time, and there is no gold, jade and treasure."

After finishing speaking, he felt that the words were not well said, so he added: "In Zhangde Mansion outside Jiangwu City, set up a suspicious tomb 72. Don't let future generations know where I am buried, for fear that people will excavate it."

When Cao Pi heard this, he kowtowed again and again, tears were already running down his face.

"Elder Chen Min remembers it in his heart."

"Just remember, just remember."

Cao Cao smiled lightly, but suddenly he pointed to the sky with his right hand and sang:

"Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.

The snake snake rides in the fog and ends up as dirt.

Lao Ji Fuping, ambition of thousands of miles.

The martyrs are young and strong.

The period of profit and contraction is not only in the sky;
The blessing of the good fortune can be won forever.

Fortunately, even zai, the song to Yongzhi. "

After reading it, he roared: "Assuming that there is no orphan in the country, I don't know how many people will be the emperor and how many people will be the king. I, Cao Mengde, am a loyal minister of the great man, not a traitor!"

After shouting, Cao Cao let out a long sigh and burst into tears.

There are too many regrets and too much unwillingness.

Unable to do so.

But now, he, Cao Mengde, has already walked his own path.

The road ahead, let the descendants go!

In just a moment, Meng De died out of breath, his eyes dim.

"Father!"

Cao Pi immediately cried loudly, the cry was silent, those who heard it were sad, and those who saw it wept.

Xiao Huaihou Cao Xiong hurried forward, supported Cao Pi and said: "Brother, the father passed away, and the future of the Wei Kingdom still needs the shoulders of the king, so don't cry to death."

At this moment, Cao Ren wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Please calm down, my son, and let's discuss important matters."

Liu Ye even stepped forward and said, "Since King Wei passed away, the whole world was shaken; an heir was established earlier to reassure everyone. Why are you weeping?"

Cao Pi cried for a while, and his filial piety was exhausted.

This crying, of course, is to be seen by outsiders.

After crying, it's time to do something down-to-earth.

He wiped away his tears and snot and asked:
"Who will ask for an edict to enter the palace for me?"

If Cao Pi wanted to succeed the throne of Wei, he would naturally be appointed by the imperial edict of Han Emperor Liu Xie.

After all, King Wei was only the king of the Han Dynasty.

Hua Xin immediately stepped forward and said, "Your servant is willing to go there!"

"good!"

"Wen Lie, I order you to be the leader of the Central Army, command the forbidden army, patrol the palace and the palace, and kill anyone who dares to make trouble!"

When Cao Xiu heard about it, he immediately stepped forward to take orders.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there will be a final general, and the palace city will be guaranteed without any worries!"

Cao Pi looked at Cao Hong again, and said, "Uncle Zi Lian, I order you to command the troops inside and outside the city of Xudu, and put the whole city under martial law. If anyone disobeys the law and commits trouble, he will be killed without mercy!"

"promise!"

Cao Hong burst into tears, and at this moment also stepped forward to accept the order.

With the army in his hands, Cao Pi felt much more at ease. He looked at Cao Ren again and said, "Uncle Zixiao, the family uncle will take care of what happens after the father's death."

As a filial son, he naturally had to be around Cao Cao's coffin day and night.

The specific matters of the funeral must be entrusted to a trustworthy person.

"The last general takes orders!"

After ordering some more matters, Cao Pi knelt down on the ground and continued to cry.

"Father! Father! You are gone, what should I do?"

"The common people in this world cannot live without their father!"

In the mourning hall, it is actually no different from the theater.

What Cao Pi has to do now is to cry hard!
The harder he cried, the more filial he was.

The harder you cry, the more loyal you are to Cao Cao.

The great man established the country with filial piety, and he, Cao Pi, naturally wanted to stand up to this filial piety.

The night is deep.

Cao Cao's body was also buried.

Cao Pi's eyes were red and swollen, and he knelt on the futon.

On one side, there were clansmen and concubines in filial attire who were burning yellow paper in the brazier in front of the spirit.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Pingyuan is here."

Zijian?

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes.

"Take me to meet him!"

at this time.

Cao Zhi, who was in Wei Wang's mansion, had already been soaked with tears on his cheeks.

Father!

Why did the father die?

While grieving, Cao Zhi couldn't help feeling sad.

After Zihuan succeeds to the throne, what will happen to Cao Zhi?
Before his father was alive, he had fought against his father, and naturally there were many dirty things during that period.

plus sister in law
Cao Zhi's heart sank.

Back then he didn't let Brother Chong go, but today
I, Cao Zijian, may die soon, right?

When Cao Zhi was sad and hesitant, Cao Pi, who was dressed in filial piety, had already walked forward slowly.

"Zijian, long time no see, I miss you so much."

After Cao Cao died, he, Cao Pi, did not have to hide anymore.

At this moment, he looked at Cao Zhi with fierce eyes.

That murderous aura overflowed directly.

Cao Zhi naturally felt Cao Pi's killing intent, but now he is a fish and Cao Pi is a knife, what can he do?

"Brother, please let the younger brother go to see the father and king for the last time."

"Humph!"

Cao Pi snorted coldly, and said, "If you hadn't done something outrageous, how could your father die in aggrieved way? You have lost the face of my Cao family, and you still have the face to see your father?"

You Cao Zijian, how dare you plan on my woman Cao Pi?

Now, if I can't beat Liu Gongsi, I can't deal with you Cao Zijian?
Cao Pi immediately shouted loudly: "Left and right, capture this person and imprison him in Xudu Prison."

Cao Zhi looked desperate, but bit the corner of his lips and did not beg for mercy.

He knew his brother too well.

beg for mercy?

No matter how much you beg for mercy, he will not let you go.

Why humiliate yourself?

"No! Just keep him in the palace."

As soon as his father passed away, Cao Zhi was imprisoned, which may cause public opinion.

He wants to establish a filial piety, but he can't be accused by the world of his brother's disharmony and his reputation of killing relatives because of Cao Zhi.

It's better to escort him in the palace, wait for the limelight to pass, and then deal with this kid!
Some women, you just can't play!
Cao Zijian is like this.

The same is true of you, Liu Gongsi!

Wait for me to ascend the throne of Wei.

We must send troops, and we will be ashamed of Wei!

Liu Gongsi!
You wait for me!
