Great Wei Nengchen

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

"Why don't you kneel?"

After the edict was read, Hua Xin took out a five-clawed golden dragon robe and put it on Cao Xiong's body, signaling the officials to salute the new emperor, but after shouting three times, no one kneeled in the hall, and the atmosphere was instantly awkward Get nervous!

It wasn't that the ministers intended to resist the edict, but that the content of the edict was too shocking and unbelievable.

In ancient times, the inheritance of the throne was relatively chaotic. For example, there were 14 kings in the Shang Dynasty, 12 were descendants of brothers, [-] were descendants of fathers and sons, and four were descendants of uncles and nephews!

Because there is no clear succession system, there are constant internal disputes among the Yin and Shang royal families. Brothers, uncles and nephews killed each other for the throne, which eventually led to the Ninth Rebellion and serious internal friction of national power. This is also one of the reasons for the demise of the Shang Dynasty!

After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, learning the lessons of the demise of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the eldest son succession system was established: if there is a son, the eldest son will be established, and if there is no son, the eldest son will be considered to have a younger brother or a nephew!

For more than 200 years before and after the Zhou, Qin, and Han Dynasties, the eldest son inheritance system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, when they heard the news of the emperor's death, the first reaction of officials, big and small, was that the eldest son Cao Rui would inherit the throne!

Taking a step back, even if Cao Pi doesn't like the eldest son, he should choose one of the other eight sons to inherit the throne. There is absolutely no reason to pass on the throne to the younger brother?

Taking a step back, even if Duke Cao Pi is selfless and really passed on the throne to his younger brother, he should withdraw his troops back to Luoyang to hold a funeral for Emperor Daxing, and then gather all civil and military officials, relatives and relatives of the emperor to read the will in public, and then hold the enthronement ceremony. !

Cao Xiong read out the edict immediately, and wanted to inherit the throne in the palace. This was not only inconsistent with the etiquette, but also made people doubt how the emperor died. Is this edict true?

"Xiaguan Wang Guan thinks that the Emperor Daxing has passed away, he should return to Luoyang first, and after the funeral, we will discuss the matter of succession!"

"Those who resist the imperial edict - beheaded"

"No! -- Plop!"

The servant Wang Guan stood up, and before he could say a few words, following Sima Yi's scolding, Xia Hou raised his sword and dropped it, Wang Guan's head flew out, and his body fell on the main hall, bleeding from his mouth. It's all over the place!

"The ministers pay homage to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Under the deterrence of force, the officials, big and small, finally succumbed, kneeling down and praying for long live, but killing can achieve the goal, but it can't win the hearts of the people!

…………

In the fifth year of Huangchu - June 28th, Cao Xiong formally succeeded the emperor of Wei in the palace of Guanying City, and then announced to the army and civilians that he would change his name to Chengde and amnesty the world!

For the posthumous title of Cao Pi, the dead brother, he said: "Emperor Wen", and the temple name: "Gaozu!" '

He also granted Wang Lang the title of Grand Tutor, Hua Xin the title of Tai Bao, and Sima Yi the title of Chariot and Cavalry General to assist in military and political affairs.

On June 29th, Cao Xiong issued an order to return to the imperial court, and summoned the prefects of Yu, Yan, Xu, Qing, and Hebei, as well as officials of the third rank and above, to meet. However, there were very few people who obeyed the order, and most of them chose to wait and see!

On the fifth day of the seventh month, the news of the death of the emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor reached Luoyang.

When the news spread to the harem, Empress Dowager Bian couldn't bear the blow of losing her two sons (Cao Zhang and Cao Pi), she vomited blood, her condition worsened, and she died in the palace that night at the age of 60!

When she was dying, Empress Dowager Bian left her last words: "The children and grandchildren will live in harmony and keep the foundation together. If there is any dispute, I will have no worries about arranging it!" '

In the chaos, what was Xiao Yi doing?

Chapter 1699 The death of 'cabbage'!

In Guanzhong-Oasis Palace, there is a high coffin shed, with constant mourning and joy, and on the altar full of tributes, three coffins are enshrined at the same time:

In the middle is the spiritual seat of Bian, Empress Wuxuan of the Great Wei Dynasty!

On the right is the spiritual seat of Emperor Gaozu Wen of the Great Wei Dynasty!

On the left is the spiritual seat of Cao Zhangzhi, the mighty king of Rencheng in the Great Wei Dynasty!

"Farewell to heaven and man, drive the crane westward, the green hills remain the same, and the old shadows are still familiar--heroic spirits are immortal, enjoy my soup!"

"One bow, another bow, three bows!"

Dozens of Xiao's descendants and relatives burned incense and worshiped in front of the mourning hall, and the leaders were Xiao Xuan and Xiao Huang brothers!

In a short period of time, the princes, kings, emperors, and queen mothers passed away one after another. This is definitely a great mourning for the country. It stands to reason that the manuscripts and subjects of the world should all mourn for a hundred days!

However, Cao Cao issued a will at that time: "The world is not yet stable, and we have not been able to follow the ancients. After my death, when I keep my clothes, don't leave them behind."Hundreds of officials should be in the hall, fifteen voices, and after the burial, they will be removed from their clothes; those who will garrison soldiers will not leave the garrison; there are divisions with their own duties! '

Adhering to this rule, even if it is a great national funeral, everything must be kept simple, and the states, counties, and counties can add a little sacrifice, and it must not interfere with military and political affairs, let alone interfere with the daily life of the people.

However, brothers Xiao Xuan and Xiao Huang were exceptions. Not only the kings, emperors, and queen mothers died, but also their second uncle, eldest uncle, and grandmother, mourning and mourning for their relatives, nothing can be omitted!

"How is mother's place? Have you eaten today?"

"Brother, don't worry, my aunts have comforted me in every possible way, my mother's mood has calmed down a bit, and I just had a bowl of rice porridge, and my tenth and fifteenth brothers are also accompanying me!"

"That's good. My mother has been overly sad recently, and her body is very weak. Let the kitchen make a cup of ginseng soup every day, using more than 500-year-old wild ginseng!"

"Little brother knows!"

Everyone in the Xiao family was in mourning, and the saddest one was Cao Jie, who lost three relatives in a row, no one could bear such a blow, so that he cried day and night, didn't think about food and drink, and lost a lot of weight!

Both Xiao Xuan and Xiao Huang are filial sons, apart from calming down and comforting in every possible way every morning and evening, they just try to find ways to cook delicious food to honor their mother.

"Xi'er, Ying'er, you guys also go to the back to serve mother, and take the two children with you, mother loves children the most!"

"promise!"

Ma Weixi and Zhang Qiying also knelt in the crowd, each holding a baby in their arms. White silk flowers were tied on their little hands and feet, and the swaddling clothes were also replaced with plain fabrics to show that they were wearing linen and wearing filial piety!

There was a lot of noise in the mourning hall, but the two little guys were sleeping soundly, drooling, it seems that they both inherited the Xiao family's lethargy gene!

It turned out that after the wedding between Ma Weixi, Zhang Qiying and Xiao Xuan, they were pregnant in October, and it was ripe, and each gave birth to a baby boy!

Having had two grandchildren in a row, Xiao Yi was naturally very happy. He flipped through books and divination, and named his eldest grandson Xiao Ding.

The second grandson was named Xiao Hong. Hong originally meant wild geese, and it also extended the meaning of flying far away and showing great ambitions!

From these two names, it can be seen that Xiao Yi has high hopes for his grandchildren and has plans for their lives!

"Fifth brother, you take care of me here, I'll go to the back to see how my father is doing!"

"promise!"

Leaving Xiao Huang in charge of worship, Xiao Xuan went straight to the back of Oasis Palace. Now it can be described as troubled, not only the mother is heartbroken, but the father is also devastated, and the situation is even worse!

There is a Longevity Hall in Ganquan Palace. The main material is precious nanmu. It is not only beautifully decorated, but also has the effect of keeping winter warm and summer cool, and keeping mosquitoes away. Alchemy, trying to prolong life and live forever, but unfortunately there is no immortal country in the world, let alone immortal people!

After Xiao Yi 'occupied' the Ganquan Palace, he sent people to restore the Longevity Pavilion. In fact, he just cleaned it, because the nanmu wood is hard and can be immortal for thousands of years, and then gave it a name--Cabbage Garden!

Don't get me wrong, the cabbage garden is not for growing or storing cabbage, but the place where 'cabbage' lives, to be precise, it is a stable!

The residence of Emperor Qiangu was actually changed into a stable, this kind of thing is only possible for Xiao Yi to do.

"See Eldest Young Master!"
