    Cao Cao's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, and he shouted urgently.

    "How can you be so presumptuous!! Your Majesty is still alive, how can you be the emperor?"

    As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a soldier suddenly came to report and said that he would pay homage to Zhonghua Xin.  Cao Cao's brows jumped, his heart tightened, and he let out a big kick. The police had already anticipated this and quickly called him in.  After a while, Hua Xin came in, knelt down and worshiped, and reported that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty committed suicide and died. He left a will and ceded his place to the King of Wei.  All of them are as reported by the ministers' previous discussions.  When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly trembled all over and cried loudly "".

    "The sky has no eyes, and I have not yet unified the country for Your Majesty. Your Majesty passed away midway, which made my heart burst!!"

    Cao Cao cried out in pain, his tears welled up like a fountain, and he was heartbroken, and there was no lie in the slightest.  Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other and cried bitterly.  Cao Cao cried the most sadly until he fainted and passed away.  Everyone was shocked and eager doctors came to treat him.

    That night, Cao Cao woke up and secretly asked people to invite Guo Jia.  Guo Jia seemed to have expected it and came secretly.  I saw Cao Cao's face was deep and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry, and his eyes were as detailed as if they could swallow the sky, glowing with majesty.  When Cao Cao saw Guo Jia come in, he pointed to the side of the bed and said.

    "sit!"

    Guo Jia didn't show any pretense and sat on the bed as Cao Cao pointed out.  Cao Cao said in a low voice with a cold face.

    "Hmph. According to what Fengxiao sees, who did this happen!?"

    Guo Jia's expression darkened, his mind raced, and he spoke quickly with analysis.

    "Mr.  The rich and powerful are all people with treacherous intentions and no courage. Among all the officials in Jiaguan, only Sima Zhongda has such ability!"

    "Sima Zhongda!? Humph, this person is definitely not an idle person. What is his intention?"

    Hearing this, Guo Jia's face darkened, he pondered for a long time, and spoke in a condensed voice.

    "My lord has made great achievements and won the popularity of the people. It is only a matter of time that he ascends to the throne of emperor. Now that my lord has regained Jingzhou, he will attack Soochow soon. The soldiers are in need of encouragement. If my lord becomes emperor at this time, the morale of the three armies will definitely be great."  It is really beneficial to our great cause of unifying the country of Wei. However, the lord bijing Han ministers are deeply favored by the court. It would be really inconvenient for Sima Zhongda to instigate him secretly.  The officials did not harm the king of Wei. "

    "Oh, according to what Fengxiao said. Not only can't I blame this person, but I also need to reward him heavily?"

    Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, and two majestic rays of light shot out, directly into Guo Jia's eyes.  Guo Jia sighed and talked to Cao Cao.

    "That's right. If the lord punishes this person severely, the officials will be chilled and people will panic. Now that your majesty has passed away, the country needs to be stable, and the lord should put state affairs first."

    Cao Cao's face became colder and colder, his brows jumped and he said coldly.

    "What a great Sima Zhongda. This experience is really an eye-opener for me. Xiaozhi, what do you think of this person?"

    After hearing the words, Guo Jia pondered for a while. He didn't know how long it took before he answered.

    "This man is secretive and has extraordinary wisdom. Compared with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others, he is more stoic. He seems to have no desires and desires, and regards fame as a waste. But he feels that this man is extraordinary.  Sooner or later something will happen."

    "Oh? This person has such abilities, but I have underestimated him in the past. Fengxiao, do you think this person can be reused?"

    Cao Cao¡¯s eyes were sharp and he said in a serious tone.  Guo Jia shook his head and said slowly.

    "This person is thoughtful, respectful and conscientious in front of the lord. He does not seek merit, but seeks to have no faults. As long as the lord is alive, this person will never dare to show his talent. If one day, the lord takes the lead"

    Guo Jia's eyes flashed sharply, and he suddenly made a motion of slitting his throat.  How wise Cao Cao is, he immediately realized it. He seemed to have the same intention and nodded heavily.

    So, Cao Cao completed his preparation, led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Zhang Jia and other generals, as well as Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other ministers, and hurried back to Luoyang. He also taught Xiahou Yuan, Xun You and others to guard Jingzhou and train their troops.

    Ten days later, Cao Cao led his ministers to Luoyang, the imperial capital. Chen Qun and Li Fu, together with more than forty people, rushed out of the city and knelt down to greet them.  I saw Cao Cao wearing a black gold cloud and dragon armor, sitting on a Jueying BMW, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two evil gods, standing on both sides, one on the left and one on the right. The generals lined up behind the formation, each with majestic and imposing appearance  pressing.  Cao Cao looked majestic, looked carefully around the ministers kneeling on the ground, and suddenly said the word "good".  The ministers didn't know what Cao Cao meant, and their expressions suddenly changed with fear.  Only Sima Yi's face was calm and determined, as if he was outside.  Cao Cao slowly withdrew his eyes and galloped into the city. Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately followed him.  ministersUnexpectedly, there was a moment of panic.

    By this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had been dead for more than ten days, and his coffin was resting in the Ancestral Temple.  Cao Cao went to offer sacrifices to him in person.  When the ministers arrived one after another, they saw Cao Cao bowing his head and crying bitterly. The ministers were horrified and all started crying.  Suddenly, a cry shook the sky and the earth, making those who heard it cry and those who heard it moved their faces.

    A few days later, Cao Cao ordered Chen Qun to declare to the world and issue an edict, saying that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was tortured by illness. In the autumn of the 20th year of Jian'an, he died. The whole country was in mourning, and all civil and military officials mourned.  The burial is completed.  All the ministers gathered together and begged Cao Cao to ascend the throne in accordance with the order of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.  So, all the ministers gathered at the Wei Palace and knelt down in the pavilion.  But Cao Cao was strange. He didn't go out for days, but his officials came day after day.

    The ministers gathered at the Wei Palace every day, but Cao Cao did not come to see them.  But he said that at this time in the palace, Cao Cao was discussing with Guo Jia and Jia Xu.  Cao Cao said solemnly.

    "The matter has come to this. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor has no choice but to ascend the throne. However, the implications of this matter are huge, so we should not rush into it. What should we do if we follow the views of filial piety and Wenhe?"

    Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded slightly and said in a condensed voice.

    "What my lord said is true. Although there is a legacy edict, it is appropriate for my lord to be humble and put an end to the slander from the world."

    After hearing this, Cao Cao also had this intention, so he ordered Guo Jia to make an example, saying that he had poor moral character and asked not to ask for a great virtuous person to succeed him to the throne.  Hua Xin and other officials looked at the table and were shocked and confused, not knowing what to do.  Li Fuchi asked Sima Yi secretly.

    "The king of Wei is so humble, what can I do?"

    After hearing this, Sima Yi looked calm and said calmly.

    "Ming Gong, there is no need to be anxious. In the past, when the king of Wei accepted the title of king, he made three speeches but refused to accept it, and then accepted it. Now that the king of Wei has ascended the throne, he naturally does not want to act too hastily, so as to be slandered by the world. You can teach Hua  The servants and others all send out documents to invite you, and the King of Wei will accept it."

    Li Fu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly retreated. When he came to see Hua Xin, he told Sima Yi's words quickly.  When Hua Xin heard this, he suddenly realized that he gathered his ministers together and sent out documents to invite him. They all knelt down in the palace of the King of Wei and paid their respects again and again.  After doing this repeatedly, all the ministers sent seven letters in a row and knelt down to greet each other for half a month. Only then did Cao Cao meet and agree to ascend the throne.

    Jia Xu spoke with emotion and said in a condensed voice.

    "Although Your Majesty has passed away, the matter of the Zen throne is related to the great wealth of the country and the welfare of all people in the world, so it should be done with great solemnity. You can have someone build an altar, named the Zen altar. Choose an auspicious day and a good time, gather all the officials and ministers to do the best.  Under the altar, the king of Wei is witnessing by all the officials in the world to take over the throne!"

    When all the ministers heard this, they all thought it was reasonable.  Cao Cao followed suit.  Therefore, Hua Xin ordered people to build a three-story high altar in the palace, and chose to abdicate at the Yin hour of Geng Wu in October.

    At the end of the period, the ministers invited Wei King Cao Cao to come to the altar to accept Zen. More than 400 officials, big and small, gathered under the altar, and more than 100,000 imperial guards guarded the imperial army. Hua Xin personally presented the jade seal to Cao Cao.  I saw Cao Cao wearing a black brocade and gold patterned dragon robe, showing his imperial power, and he accepted the jade seal with great enthusiasm.  The ministers below the altar knelt down to listen to the canonization.  Chen Qun declared.

    "In the past, Yao of the Tang Dynasty established Zen in Yu and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu. The destiny was not permanent, but he had virtue. This was the pioneer of Zen. Now the Han Dynasty has been late, the world has lost its order, and the world has been overthrown. The king of Wei, Shenwu, saved the world.  It was difficult to attack the bandits in the Central Plains in order to protect the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty. When the late emperor passed away, he thought of the great merits of the king of Wei and the people's wishes, so he gave the sacred weapon of Sheji to the king of Wei and hoped that he would be honored by it and be used by all nations.  Accept the destiny!"

    Having completed the study, King Cao Cao of Wei received eight great gifts and ascended the throne.  Jia Xu invited big and small officials to court under the altar.  The first year of Yankang was changed to the first year of Huangchu.  The country's name is Wei.  Cao Cao immediately passed the decree and granted a general amnesty to the world, generous rewards to all officials, and named Xun Yu King of Pingyang. He was buried in Pingyang County, Yingchuan, and his son and heir inherited the throne.

    Cao Cao, the hero of the troubled times, finally ascended to the throne, and the Han Dynasty no longer existed and was taken over by Wei.  When Cao Cao came to the throne for the first time, he calmed the people's hearts and discussed with his ministers how to pacify the world.

    At that time, the Western Tang Dynasty was engaged in a fierce battle with the Shu Kingdom. There was a detailed report saying that Zhuge Liang led his troops to attack Nanzheng and was about to capture it.  Now Zhang Fei is leading an army to attack Chencang.  All the ministers of Wei State were overjoyed when they heard this.  Jia Xu's face hardened, and he rushed to attend.

    "There is great chaos in Liangzhou at the moment. The Shu army has attacked Dongchuan and is heading towards Yongzhou. The situation in the Western Tang Dynasty is in chaos. Your Majesty immediately recruited troops and horses and marched into Hanoi and Hedong. In this way, the Western Tang Dynasty will be attacked from both sides. How can it be immortal?  Liye!"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and suddenly turned to look at Hua Xin and asked.

    "How many soldiers and horses can the Central Plains mobilize?"

    "Reporting to Your Majesty. Now most of our troops have gathered in Jingzhou, and there are only 100,000 troops left in the Central Plains. If Your Majesty wants to conquer the Western Tang Dynasty, you might as well transfer another 100,000 troops from Jingzhou."

    Hua Xin bowed his hands and said respectfully.  As soon as Hua Xin said this, Guo Jia immediately retorted sharply.

    "Absolutely not! To transfer troops and horses from Jingzhou, the journey is long and time-consuming. When his army reaches the Central Plains, I am afraid that the Western Tang Dynasty will?Just put an end to the chaos!  !  Now our country and the Western Tang Dynasty are allies. Once we raise our army, the alliance will be abolished.  If the two countries go to war, Shu and Wu will be able to breathe.  At this time, even if we, the Wei Dynasty, could conquer the Western Tang Dynasty, it would be a great loss to our national power. What would happen if Shu and Wu joined forces to attack it!  ?  "

    Guo Jia shouted, and Hua Xin's expression changed.  At this time, Sima Yi's expression condensed and he suddenly came forward and said.

    "What Marquis Zhen said is wrong. Zhuge Kongming is a talented person with hundreds of miles of talent, and he is even more unpredictable. Now Wen Bufan is gathering troops to pacify Xiliang and is fighting fiercely with Ma Mengqi's barbarian army. Zhuge Liang took advantage of the opportunity and entered, how could he  Defeat easily! ? It¡¯s better not to wait too long. If things are too late, things will change. According to my opinion, we should send troops quickly.¡±
