Great Wei Nengchen

"Report - there are no people at the intersections!"

…………

The tiger and leopard riders were almost in full swing, starting at five o'clock and continuing to investigate until the afternoon of the next day. They searched a radius of dozens of miles, but Jiang Ji was nowhere to be seen. Now Cao Xiong, Wang Lang and others also sat down. I can't help it, I'm anxious like ants on a hot pot!

At the same time, I also find it incredible that Jiang Ji, a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, escaped from the pursuit of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Could it be that there are his accomplices in the camp who secretly hid him?

Not reconciled, Xia Hou said that he personally led people, and conducted a second search in the name of the emperor's oral order, even the big tents of those generals and school lieutenants were not spared, but there were still no people, but they got it. A clue!

At about five o'clock yesterday, someone saw Jiang Ji holding an imperial decree and forcibly recruiting a fast boat, sailing upstream along the Yangtze River, heading for Jingzhou!

Chapter 1698 Cao Xiong usurped the throne!

"It's over, now we are all over, it's really a hundred secrets, it's a failure!"

"It's better to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and apologize to the queen mother, empress, and grand master, maybe you can save your life!"

"Going back to Luoyang is a dead end. In my opinion, it is better to pack up the gold, silver and jewels, escape from the camp overnight, and then go our separate ways and find our own way of life!"

……

Upon hearing the news of Jiang Ji's escape, Wang Lang and Hua Xin's legs went limp, and they slumped down on the ground. Cao Xiong and Xia Houcheng's faces were also livid, and they had a premonition that disaster was imminent!

You must know that the three guards of Jingzhou, Wenpin, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun, are all Xiao Yi's confidantes. Once Jiang Ji arrives in Jingzhou by boat, the original will will surely fall into Xiao Yi's hands!

Xiao Yiquan is all over the world, with a heavy army in his hands, as long as he publishes the original will, and then calls on the people of the world to support the crown prince and crusade against rebellion, the few people present will surely die without a place to bury them, and the whole family may also be buried with them!

It was such a mistake that caused eternal hatred. Wang Lang and Hua Xin regretted it so much, they hated themselves for not being able to resist the temptation and easily participating in this coup.

"Everyone, don't panic. Although Jiang Ji has escaped, it will take some time for the edict to be delivered to Xiao Yi. Let's use this time to make arrangements!"

"How does Zhongda plan to deploy, and can it save the unfavorable situation?"

"Don't worry, my lord, as long as the deployment is done properly, we have at least a [-]% chance of winning!"

Seeing that Cao Xiong, Wang Lang and the others panicked and looked like they were splitting their luggage and breaking up, Sima Yi hastily spoke out to appease him, and told him the plan he had just planned, which was divided into three steps:

The first step is to write a new posthumous edict, make Cao Xiong the emperor's younger brother, and then call together officials of all sizes to officially announce the death of the emperor Long Yu, ask Cao Xiong to succeed him as emperor, and immediately hold the enthronement ceremony, first occupying the Great Wei The title of the Son of Heaven!

The second step is to issue an edict to Cao Zhen, Jia Kui, and the prefects of Yan, Yu, Xu, Qing, and Hebei, asking them to come to pay homage to the new king, and bring all the soldiers and horses from each state, at least hundreds of thousands of people, In this way, we have the capital to fight for the world!

The third step is to lead the army back to Luoyang, control the inner court and the outer court, and then send people to negotiate with Xiao Yi to maintain the current situation of dividing the east and the west, and let the other party recognize Cao Xiong as the emperor!

As long as Xiao Yi is willing to agree, he can be named a king with a different surname, and his descendants will not succeed hereditaryly. If he does not agree, then he will fight against him. Whoever wins and who loses is left to fate!

……

"Zhongda is right. As long as we insist on it, Jiang Ji forged the will and intends to bring disaster to the world. It might be possible to reverse the truth!"

"We can also ask the Empress Dowager to mediate. Xiao Yi is a filial person, and he will not disobey the Empress Dowager's order, and the Empress Dowager loves the King the most!"

……

After the initial panic, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, and Xia Houcheng gradually calmed down. After hearing Sima Yi's three-step plan, they nodded frequently, thinking that there was hope for success!

Even if it fails in the end, there is still time to abandon the army and flee, at least buy a buffer time, you can search for more gold, silver and jewelry, and then arrange the family calmly!

But a plan is a plan after all, whether it is to rein in a precipice, or go all the way to the dark, Cao Xiong has to make this decision!

"My lord, let's fight, fight him to the death!"

"Your Majesty, there is no arrow to turn back when we open the bow. We can only advance an inch and not retreat an inch. If we retreat an inch, we will lose everything!"

…………

"In that case, let's fight!"

After repeated persuasion by several people, Cao Xiong finally strengthened his confidence and issued an order to launch a coup d'etat, and the fate of the Cao Wei Empire also changed direction accordingly!

…………

"Woo! - woo! woo!"

At dawn, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison. After the officials and generals in the camp heard it, they braved the downpour and rushed towards the palace. Soon, three to four hundred people gathered and stood neatly in the hall!

People are guessing what happened to make the emperor gather all the civil and military officials. It is said that since the defeat of the two armies, the emperor has not shown his face, nor has he received foreign officials.

Could it be that the peace negotiation with Soochow was successful, and is the teacher ready to return to Luoyang?

Or is His Majesty not reconciled to failure, and wants to regroup and fight to the death with the Wu army?

There were also some quick-witted officials who found that something was amiss, because the number of guards in the palace had at least tripled, bows were stringed and knives were unsheathed one by one, and the murderous aura made people feel chills down the spine!

Just when the officials were at a loss, Cao Xiong, Wang Lang, Hua Xin and a group of people came out, all dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, with sad faces on their faces. Cao Xiong also held a mourning stick with a banner reading: "Emperor Daxing , Immortality! '

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Dragon Yu has returned to heaven -- woohoo!"

"Your Majesty -- it hurts my heart!"

……

Only then did the officials understand that it was the emperor who had passed away. After being stunned for a moment, they all knelt down in the hall, stamped their feet and beat their chests, and wailed loudly. Attendants came to distribute filial obedience to the crowd, and mourning halls and sacrifices began to be arranged in the palace The thing... the door is tightly closed!

In fact, Cao Pi has been on the throne for more than five years, and he has not governed the world well. He has just lost a big battle and caused countless soldiers to die in vain. People's feelings for this emperor can only be said to be more resentment than love!

But the emperor is dead, and the courtiers must express their sorrow, and they have to cry bitterly if they are not sad, but what to do if there are no tears... There are those who do not rain when there is thunder, some rub their eyes vigorously, and some secretly twist their thighs!

But what the ministers are concerned about now is when the emperor died, whether he left a will before his death, and which prince will inherit the great business. This is related to the future of the Great Wei Empire and everyone's prosperity and wealth!

"Everyone stop crying for now, and listen to the emperor's last edict!"

Da Situ Wang Lang took a step forward, took out the will from his bosom, and read it out in public!

"In the old days, the Han Dynasty fell, and the world was in chaos. There were princes attacking each other inside, and barbarians invaded and disturbed the land outside. As a result, the farmland was completely destroyed, ten houses and nine empty houses, and the people of the world suffered unspeakably!

My Taizu, Emperor Wu, ruled the feudal lords in the inner world, ruled the barbarians in the outside world, inherited the destiny from the top, and caressed the people from the bottom. His merits and virtues are not inferior to that of King Wen of Zhou. There is more than enough!

Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to govern, worrying about work day and night, and caring about the well-being of the people in the world. I dare not slack off in the slightest. I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the burden, so as to hurt the wisdom of Emperor Taizu Wu!

Since the army marched south, I have worked day and night, caught wind and cold occasionally, and felt seriously ill.

Fortunately, there is Cao Xiong, the king of Xiaohuai, the son of the Taizu, my younger brother, who is known all over the world for his kindness, filial piety, wisdom and courage, so he is made the emperor's younger brother, who will succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne. Hu, assisting in government affairs, making my great Wei Jiangshan permanent, and the state of the country will be passed on to infinity!

Announce the world, so that everyone can hear about it! "

…………

"Emperor Daxing's last edict has been proclaimed, and all civil and military officials kneel down to worship the new emperor!"
