Volume 1 Chapter 64 Establishing a new emperor

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A few days later, Cao Anmin was released without charge, and Xia Houyuan was also sentenced to home confinement and was not allowed to go out.  Not long after, the Cao family returned the favor and helped Yuan Ping to carry out activities in the prefecture and county, allowing him to temporarily act as the county magistrate.

    The New Year is coming soon, and I thought that the days will pass in peace, but Cao Cao suddenly received a secret letter that day. The secret letter came from Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou. In the letter, Wang Fen actually wanted to establish another emperor!

    It turns out that not long ago, Chen Yi, the son of the late Grand Tutor Chen Fan, and the famous magician Xiang Kai from Qingzhou Plain came to Wang Fen's house as guests. Xiang Kai said to the two of them: "The celestial phenomena are not conducive to eunuchs. Huangmen and Chang Shi are really going to be here this time."  They will be exterminated."

    Chen Yi was overjoyed.  Wang Fen also said happily: "If this is really the case, I am willing to drive them away for the people of the world." So he made plans with Xu You from Nanyang, Zhou Jing from Pei State and others to connect with local heroes in Jizhou to depose the emperor and establish the throne.  The Marquis of Hefei became the emperor.

    At this time, Cao Cao was promoted and demoted secretly, and his reputation was extremely good. Wang Fen wrote a secret letter to tell Cao Cao about the matter, hoping that Cao Cao could come to help the great cause and strengthen his momentum, and at least he could help this abolished official.  The emperor's behavior is once again covered with a veil of justice!

    After Cao Cao received the letter, he was very hesitant.  On the one hand, Cao Cao was also very angry at the incompetent emperor who believed in eunuchs. He really wanted to pull him off the dragon throne and let him taste the consequences of this, so that he could vent his resentment.

    But on the other hand, the imperial court has just experienced the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and is struggling to recuperate. Once Wang Fen and others take action, a civil war is likely to break out, and the people will suffer!

    And the most important thing is that the power that the Cao family has just established with so much hard work is likely to be severely hit.  After all, Cao Song only served as Da Sinong and Da Honglu after the emperor took charge, and replaced Cui Lie as Taiwei. Cao Cao had just been promoted to Dianjun Colonel and would go to Beijing to serve in the next year.  If the current emperor steps down, the new emperor will definitely promote some new people to consolidate the power after he ascends the throne, and the Cao family's recent revival is likely to be hit.

    Cao Cao was very hesitant, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to.  Father Cao Song was very stubborn in this regard. If Cao Song knew about it, he would definitely report it to the emperor and expose the conspiracy.  And Cao Ang is still too young after all!

    Cao Ang also saw the hesitation and struggle in Cao Cao's heart, but he didn't know what his father was worried about.

    On this day, seeing that his father was still frowning, Cao Ang ordered all the maids to retreat and whispered to Cao Cao: "Father, I see that you have been frowning these days. What is troubling you? Tell me.  Listen. Although I am young, I can still give you some advice and help you broaden your thinking."

    Cao Cao felt that this was also an opportunity to train Cao Ang, so he nodded slightly. Seeing that the maids had gone away, he took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it to Cao Ang.

    Cao Ang took the secret letter and read it hastily, and was shocked.  That's not right. In the history he knew, Emperor Ling controlled the political power until his death and was not overthrown by outsiders!  It seems that Wang Fen will be defeated, and he must find a way to remind his father.  But, what should I say?

    He was busy organizing his rhetoric, but Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded slightly when he saw the embarrassment on Cao Ang's face.  If Cao Ang expressed his opinion immediately after receiving the letter, then Cao Cao would think that his son was very reckless and not very sensible yet, and needed more training.  Now that Cao Ang knew the importance and his character was relatively calm, Cao Cao was also a little happy and his brows finally relaxed.

    Cao Ang said in a low voice: "Although I don't know much about political affairs, I also know that the matter of deposing and establishing the emperor is very involved. Since ancient times, it seems that only Yi Yin and Huo Guang can measure the success or failure of success and failure and implement it smoothly.  .

    ??Yi Yin was extremely loyal and everyone admired him. In addition, he also had the power of the prime minister, ranking above the officials and controlling military and political power, so he was able to successfully complete the plan and successfully dethrone the emperor.

    And Huo Guang was the late emperor's trusted minister, and he could borrow strength from the royal family. In addition, the Queen Mother was also very satisfied with him, and the ministers were frightened by his power, and they all obeyed his orders and did not dare to do anything.  Something violated.  The most important thing is that King Changyi had not been on the throne for a long time and could not completely control the military and political power in the DPRK. So when Huo Guang made up his mind to cut off internal and external contacts, King Changyi had no choice but to capture him without mercy!

    Now, to be disrespectful, although the emperor was stupid, he was not incompetent. On the one hand, he used his servants to fight with the ministers to keep the power in the court in his own hands; on the other hand, he also won some people's hearts by lifting the shackles of the party.  , and was not abandoned by the officials.  It can be said that although the power disputes in the imperial court were severe, they were still under the control of the emperor.

    "Wang Fen and those people only thought that the ancients could succeed smoothly, but they did not see clearly the difficulties today. Father, I feelOur chance of success is very small, and we must not get involved in this matter!  "

    After hearing Cao Ang's answer, Cao Cao was very satisfied and said with a smile: "It seems that you have not wasted your time during this period. Not only did you read a lot of history books, but you also learned a lot from your grandfather. Zixiu, you  What I said is exactly what I am worried about. And I also know something about Wang Fen. This person has a negligent personality and is not good at commanding the army. The Marquis of Hefei is not a wise master. Even if he is introduced, he cannot convince the public. Wang Fen  This plan will end in failure. But after all, this is also an opportunity for the Han Dynasty!"

    "Why should father be so anxious?! Although Your Majesty has done something wrong, but" Cao Ang lowered his voice and whispered: "Tongyanwuji, if you say something that shouldn't be said, even if Your Majesty can flutter again, he can still  How many years do you live?"

    "Silence!" Cao Cao said quickly, quietly walked to the door, suddenly opened the door, and saw that the maids were hiding far away, so he felt relieved.

    Cao Cao walked back slowly and whispered: "Ang'er, it's good to understand some things in your heart, but you must be careful when you say it. What you said does make sense. I'll think about it as a father."

    Cao Ang nodded, saluted his father, turned around and left.  As the new year is approaching, as a direct descendant of the Cao family, he still has a lot of things to do. Moreover, his mother, Ding, has just taken charge of the finance and is very busy and urgently needs his help.  Especially since the accounts have to be checked at the end of the year, Cao Ang is currently busy teaching Yu'er and Xie'er Araba numbers so that they can help Ding sort out the account books.

    After Cao Ang left, Cao Cao laughed heartily: With such a son, what should I worry about? Our Cao family will definitely become a family that will be passed down!

    So he spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down Cao Ang's analysis of the matter one by one, and said at the end: "Everyone, think about it carefully, what is the difference between your alliance of people and the Rebellion of the Seven Kings? Who is the noble Marquis of Hefei?  Ruo Wu, Chu? Moreover, what you are doing now is an extraordinary thing. If you hope to achieve great things according to your wishes, isn't it very dangerous?"

    Wang Fen, who had been waiting eagerly, soon received Cao Cao's reply. He opened the letter with great expectations, but he hit a wall.

    Seeing this letter, Wang Fen was a little envious. Cao Cao had a good son. I heard that he retreated from the enemy alone and composed a poem in seven steps. It seemed that it was not false.

    Although he was envious, Wang Fen had to admit that what Cao Cao said had some truth, but he still didn't give up, so he wrote to Tao Qiuhong and Hua Xin, famous people in the plains, asking them to come and help formulate a plan.

    At that time, Tao Qiuhong was about to leave, but Hua Xin stopped him and said: "Both Yi Yin and Huo Guang found it difficult to depose the emperor. Wang Fen has a negligent character and is not good at commanding the army. This matter will definitely not succeed, and it will also  It will implicate the family's wife and children, so you must not go!" So Tao Qiuhong listened to Hua Xin and stopped going.

    Wang Fen also became discouraged after two consecutive recruitment failures.  But at this time, good news suddenly came, that is, the emperor suddenly wanted to inspect his old residence in Hejian.

    Wang Fen was overjoyed. This was an opportunity sent to her by God. If she couldn't control it, she would be stupider than a pig.  Wang Fen immediately sent people to repair the emperor's old residence and prepare for the emperor's arrival.  At the same time, Wang Fen sent a letter saying that the Black Mountain bandits had been harassing the prefectures and counties recently, and asked the court to allow him to strengthen military equipment to prevent the emperor's holy car from being harassed.

    In Wang Fen¡¯s view, according to the usual practice, the imperial court will definitely agree to his proposal, and then he can legitimately gather troops and horses, divide and disintegrate the commanding generals, and seize military power.

    "However, Wang Fen did not expect that the emperor, who had been in poor health recently, became very timid. Hearing that the Black Mountain bandits were resurgent, the emperor thought about it and canceled the decision to patrol the north.  Of course, for the sake of the royal family's face, he specially sent someone to hint to the Taishi Order and write a letter, saying: "There is a red air in the north, and the east and west are in the sky. There must be a conspiracy, and it is not suitable to go north."

    The emperor followed the good advice and agreed before the ministers discussed it.  It only hurt Wang Fen, who had already begun preparations to usurp power, that he had no name, and his traces were exposed, and he was soon frightened and committed suicide.  However, Wang Fen did a good thing. Before committing suicide, he burned all the correspondence between himself and others, leaving no trace.

    When the news came back to Qiao County, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and started preparing for the New Year with peace of mind.  Recently, Ding has also learned Arabic numerals and relatively simple four arithmetic operations, and can quickly handle troublesome accounts, which greatly improves his prestige.  After being happy, Ding rewarded Cao Ang well and gave him a large amount of pocket money.

    In line with the habit of spending money when he has it, Cao Ang used the money to buy many things and distribute them.  For example, I bought new clothes for Xiao Yi and made a big knife; for example, I bought rouge lipstick for Xie'er and cut out two new sets of clothes; for example, I bought four or five jars of fine wine for Uncle Zhao and helped him  Pay off the debt; for example, give it to Liao HuaHer mother bought a fur coat and asked Hua Tuo to cure her old illness

    All in all, Cao Ang was very happy this year.
